(Everyone, it will be released tomorrow, my heart is frozen!)
No matter how difficult it was, the night of May 25th finally got better.
After a long night of suffering, when the light came out, everyone couldn't wait to look outside the city wall.
Unfortunately, everyone who watched it was disappointed.
Not only did the zombies not fade away, but they gathered outside the city in large numbers, much more than ever before.
Looking at the endless zombies outside the city, Chen Anming, who was standing on the gate tower, almost lost his balance.
Tian Jingtong and all the dignitaries were also livid at this moment. The inside and outside of the city were completely isolated.
"Everyone, prepare the equipment for a long-term lockdown!" Tian Jingtong said solemnly.
Next, the defense of the city wall is the top priority, and individuals must contribute.
Looking at the dense zombies, Wu Yunsheng couldn't help but sigh: "This is too much. Could it be that Yuanyang has attracted all the monsters around Yuanyang?"
The chief envoy Cheng Wenguang couldn't help but said: "There are hundreds of thousands of people in Yuanyang Mansion. If we really want to attract them all, I'm afraid there will be more than just these!"
His words added a layer of gloom to everyone's hearts.
"Each government should arrange its manpower into two shifts to take turns guarding the city wall. It's not enough to guard the city wall all the time..."
The queues began to be arranged on the city wall, and Zhao Yanxun got up from the bed in Yongfu Palace in Prince Yong's Mansion in Longqianfang, who was unwilling to meet.
During dinner early in the morning, Zhao Yanxun was listening to Lin Quan's report.
"It's so dense outside?"
"This is too fast..."
Zhao Yanxun couldn't help but sigh that the development of the situation was beyond his expectation, but it was also reasonable.
Hearing the news, Xue Baoyun, who was sitting nearby, turned pale. She was also frightened by the news brought back by Lin Quan.
"I'll go take a look for myself later. By the way...it's Wang Zong who's on duty in the palace today?"
"Replying to the prince, it is Wang Zong!" Huo An on the side replied.
"Send the order to Wang Zong, the palace will implement level two war preparations and be on strict guard!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.
For the royal guards on duty, Zhao Yanxun has specially divided the duty levels.
Under normal circumstances, there are one hundred guards. At level three, one-third are on duty, and at level two, one-half are on duty.
Of course, there is also the highest level of combat readiness, where all guards are on duty. Zhao Yanxun has never really used this level.
"As you command!"
During the meal, Zhao Yanxun ate quite calmly, but Xue Baoyun beside him had no appetite at all.
After breakfast, Zhao Yanxun put on his armor and then rode out of the palace accompanied by a group of elite guards.
Accompanying him out of the city this time, in addition to a group of guards led by Lin Dagui, was Liu Enfu, who was not supposed to be on duty today.
Walking on the road, Zhao Yanxun asked in a deep voice: "How is the training of the newly recruited guard No. 100 going?"
The last recruitment lasted for two days. In addition to a large number of craftsmen and some maids, Zhao Yanxun also recruited a new group of guards.
"Replying to the prince, we have achieved initial results and can enforce orders and prohibitions, but there is a big gap between the guards brought by the capital!" Liu Enfu answered carefully.
"Okay, let's see in two days!" Zhao Yanxun said casually.
Although he said it casually, Liu Enfu took it seriously. He must not stretch his crotch in secret.
After leaving Longqianfang and passing through Xingshengfang and Lantaifang, Zhao Yanxun and his party arrived at Anhemen.
There were dozens of them in their group, and they immediately attracted the attention of the city wall.
Tian Jingtong and a group of dignitaries left only their own men and went down to the city to return to their homes. They had not rested all night and needed to catch up on their sleep.
Chen Anming hasn't left yet. There are so many zombies outside, and he doesn't feel comfortable leaving at all.
When he learned of Zhao Yanxun's arrival, Chen Anming immediately came down from the city wall to greet him, and the two met on the stone steps leading up to the city wall.
"Meet Your Highness!"
"Let's go up there and have a look!" Zhao Yanxun said calmly.
"Your Highness, please!"
Then the group walked towards the city wall. In addition to the soldiers from the capital guarding the city wall, there were also officials from the government and servants from each government to guard the courtyard.
These people are distributed in various sections of the city wall, so it seems that there are not many people on the city wall at this moment.
Walking to the parapet and looking out, even though he had seen videos of zombie sieges in his previous life, the scene outside at this moment still shocked Zhao Yanxun.
No matter how realistic the movie is, nothing is as shocking as seeing it with your own eyes.
After the system was strengthened, Zhao Yanxun's eyesight was extremely good. He could even see the blood overflowing from the corners of the zombies' mouths when digging hundreds of meters away.
On the side, Chen Anming said solemnly, "Your Highness, I have made an estimate...the total number of monsters on the city wall is at least 40,000, and the number is still increasing!"
From Chen Anming's tone, Zhao Yanxun heard the meaning of despair.
Looking at Chen Anming's haggard face and already stooped figure, Zhao Yanxun felt that the other person had suddenly aged more than ten years.
He was at the age where he was waiting for retirement, but when he encountered a disaster like a zombie outbreak, it was normal for Chen Anming to feel desperate.
"There is a shortage of food in the city. If this continues...even if you are not bitten to death by monsters outside, you will starve to death in the city!"
Trapped internally and externally, and with seemingly no hope of solving the problem, Chen Anming seemed increasingly depressed at this moment.
For some reason, he didn't say these words to Tian Jingtong, but said them to Zhao Yanxun.
Maybe he was afraid that Tian Jingtong, who was his age, would laugh at him, or maybe he saw that these people were equally incompetent.
At this moment, just when Zhao Yanxun thought of saying something, a roar of "oooh" attracted the attention of everyone on the tower.
The sound was really too close, coming from underneath the city wall.
I heard someone under the city wall exclaim: "He has turned into a monster..."
Immediately afterwards, there were screams of terror, and his eyes glanced towards the bottom of the city wall, where mutated zombies were chasing people.
Among the people who crossed the river last night, some must have been scratched and bitten by zombies. They had mutated after a night.
On the city wall, several soldiers drew their bows and arrows, but none of them shot any zombies. Instead, more zombies mutated at this moment.
He finally managed to hit the target, but it was of no use at all. The zombie was still alive and kicking even though the arrow was stuck in his body.
"Tell them not to waste arrows!" Zhao Yanxun said solemnly, and he felt heartbroken just looking at it.
Chen Anming felt the same way, so he immediately told his subordinates to stop.
"Give me the bow and arrow!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.
Does King Yong think he can do it? Chen Anming murmured in his heart.
After a few breaths, Zhao Yanxun took the bow and arrow and easily drew the stiff bow to full capacity.
With just this move, the unconvinced archers around him were convinced, but they were not that easy anyway.
The next moment, the arrow roared out like lightning and hit the zombie's neck thirty meters away.
Then...the zombie that was chasing the living person fell straight to the ground.
An arrow hits the neck of a moving target, which is more shocking than drawing the bow to full capacity.
Every archer present felt extremely ashamed at this moment. Compared with this young man, they felt like they were useless.
Zhao Yanxun didn't care about this. He was just stronger and his aim was more accurate after turning on the system perception.
And all the guards in the palace were not surprised. They had seen Zhao Yanxun use bows and arrows before.
"Ding, kill a zombie, get 1 skill point, and now have 18 skill points!"
