It is now June, and the weather is gradually becoming muggy.
But at this time, being able to feel the sweltering heat alive is already a rare blessing. It is much better than those people who were bitten to death outside the city.
And these living people, holding formatting tools, appeared in the Yongning Gate of Nancheng at this moment, watching the city gate slowly open.
After the inner city gate opened, the people entered the urn city, and then the inner city gate slowly closed, and now they were locked up in the urn city.
The inside of the urn city was filled with a strong smell of blood. This was the place where Zhao Yanxun led his guards to brush up their skill points.
Now all the zombies outside the city have been killed, so it is safe outside.
But the people were still afraid of zombies. Even if he was told that the zombies outside had been cleared, they still resisted asking them to leave the city.
Sensing the movement of the people behind him, the leader quickly shouted: "Don't panic, everyone, it's safe outside!"
In fact, the official leading the team was also very nervous. Although there were no zombies outside the city, there were them all outside the moat. Just seeing them made people feel numb.
After the official appeased them, the crowd's commotion subsided a lot, but some people still looked worried and frightened.
Of course, there are also some who are bold, or who are full of confidence in the future. Looking at the slowly opening outer city gate, their eyes show anticipation.
After being locked up in the city for so many days, they had long been exhausted. Going out to the city today was just an eye-opener for them.
Soon, the outer city gate was completely opened, and after clear negotiations with hundreds of households in public, the officials leading the team called on the people to go outside the city.
After leaving the Wengcheng, the line of sight was indeed much wider, and everyone's eyes fell directly outside the moat.
Boundless and countless zombies appeared in front of the people who were leaving the city. The timid people wanted to run back on the spot.
The soldiers guarding the city gate immediately dispatched and drove back the fleeing people.
"Stop and go back!"
"Go back quickly or you will be severely punished!"
At this moment, the officer leading the team suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted loudly: "Everyone, the monster is across the moat from us. Don't be afraid, just get to work quickly!"
"If you finish the work earlier, everyone can go back to the city earlier!"
Everyone calmed down a little, and then they started working with hatchets and saws according to the official's instructions.
Today they were sent out of the city with only one main task, which was to cut down all the bamboo growing outside the city back into the city.
Seeing the people below busy at work, the officer leading the team found a slightly higher place to watch. His deputy was following him, and it was Liu Jinghui.
Again, this world is full of frivolous people, and there are very few straight people, so Zhao Yanxun will pay special attention to it when he discovers it.
These are real people doing things, they may not necessarily introduce new things from the old, but they make people feel at ease and at ease.
"Master Liu, all the bamboo in the city has been chopped down, and soon it will be chopped down outside the city too!"
"Do you think that if these people have no work to do, will the palace still provide them with food?" the leading official asked with a solemn expression.
Liu Jinghui looked resolute and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhang, His Highness King Yong cares about the people and will definitely not let the people starve to death!"
Zhang Zhiqi smiled and then said: "The bamboos will be cut down, and the food in the city will be eaten up. Tens of thousands of mouths will be missing... and the city will be able to survive for a while longer!"
Hearing this, Liu Jinghui's expression turned ugly. Zhang Zhiqi obviously wanted to say that Prince Yong's Mansion would give up on these people.
"Master Zhang, you are not afraid that these words will be heard by outsiders!" Liu Jinghui said with a cold face.
As long as the news leaks out, Zhang Zhiqi will inevitably be accused of slandering the palace, and he will have to shed his skin by then.
"Brother Liu, you definitely won't talk nonsense!" Zhang Zhiqi smiled and patted Liu Jinghui's shoulder.
Liu Jinghui's expression was serious: "Mr. Zhang, please don't say these nonsense in the future. Your Highness, King Yong, is a man sent by God to save the people from the fire and water. Such a virtuous person... is beyond your power and mine."
Slander!"
Liu Jinghui only had one word of "faith" in his heart regarding the various miracles performed by Zhao Yanxun, so he was willing to follow Zhao Yanxun.
This also reflects the importance of establishing a personality and shaping the image of the people below.
Force can make people awe, but for the people below to follow you wholeheartedly, a great and upright image is also essential.
"Brother Liu, why are you so serious... It's all just a joke. I'm worried about the people!" Zhang Zhiqi said with a smile.
Zhang Zhiqi's explanation made Liu Jinghui's expression relax a little, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.
Realizing that his words were not congenial, Zhang Zhi left slowly. They were here to supervise the people's work today.
"Everyone, please move faster and finish the work earlier. The sun will come out soon!"
The work below was in full swing. At this moment, on the city wall, Wang Cheng was looking into the distance in a daze.
Recently, the number of zombies outside has ceased to decrease and has gradually maintained a stable state.
The further away from the city, the smaller the density of zombies, but that doesn't mean there are none.
"Master Qianhu, it is said that the prince will clean up these monsters outside the city in just a few days!" A member of the Baihu family said in Wang Cheng's ear.
Wang Cheng nodded. This matter has been mentioned all the time, but it has never been implemented. In the final analysis, the city is still insufficiently prepared.
During this time, the city was intensifying its efforts to make bamboo armor, and the Gongzheng Institute also came up with a new gadget, which seemed to be called a troop transport vehicle. One vehicle could transport ten soldiers.
In addition, the workplace is still working hard to build weapons in order to fight out of the city.
"When all the bamboos and trees outside are cut down, it will be time to kill them!" Wang Cheng sighed.
Only by killing them can we obtain more resources and maintain the survival of the people in the city. No one can object to this.
Fortunately, with Zhao Yanxun here, we were able to integrate the resources in the city and make them available to the outside world. Otherwise, the major households in the city would just sweep away the snow in front of them and eventually be trapped in the city.
"Sir, if we really want to kill them, I think the people from the Guards Department should take the lead!" Baihu asked in a low voice.
Everyone is afraid of death. This is human nature. Wang Cheng glanced at his subordinates and solemnly said: "As soon as the king's order comes, we will do what we deserve!"
"Therefore, the training of soldiers must not be relaxed. Even if they die... they have to kill a monster to make their death worthwhile!"
"Yes, humble positions must be strictly supervised and they will never be allowed to embarrass you!" Baihu bowed and replied.
Speaking of being embarrassed, Wang Cheng added: "The last time the prince made a surprise inspection, Xu Hong of Xicheng performed extremely poorly. He was left behind by the prince!"
"The troops are going to be sent out soon. I guess the prince may also make a surprise inspection. You should pay more attention when you go down. When you hear the order, you must respond as soon as possible!"
"Don't worry, sir, we have all taken this as a warning and will never do it again!"
