In the early morning, the sound of birds chirping outside the military vehicle woke Liu Shan up from his sleep.
At this moment, he was holding a spear in his hand, and there was still blood on the tip of the spear, which was left from fighting the zombies last night.
Even now that Liu Shan thinks about what happened last night, he feels scared.
It took them nearly an hour and countless shots to kill all the zombies outside the vehicle.
After a night of fighting, everyone was exhausted. In order to deal with possible dangers later, Liu Shan allowed everyone except the sentry soldiers to rest.
When he woke up at this moment, except for the soreness in his arms, Liu Shan's energy had been fully restored.
Standing up from his position and glancing at the resting soldiers in the car, Liu Shan came to the lookout.
The rotten smell mixed with the smell of blood penetrated Liu Shan's nose through the observation port, making him feel sick.
"Get up, get up!"
As Liu Shan shouted several times, several people who were sleeping in the chariot had to get up after being awakened by the sound.
Some people went to the bucket to drink water, some wiped their weapons, and some looked for food from the cupboard.
Looking at all this, Liu Shan said with a serious expression: "Line up!"
This was a serious military order, and everyone acted like a conditioned reflex and stood in line within a few breaths.
"Ma Zhi, Feng Fang...what crime do you two deserve for what happened last night?" Liu Shan said with a cold expression.
The two people named were the two people who were responsible for standing guard on the roof of the car when the zombies were infested.
The two people who were pointed out lowered their heads. They wanted to defend themselves, but under the gaze of all the brothers, they had no choice but to hold back what they said.
"Where are we? This is outside the city!"
"Why are you asked to go on the roof of the car? Isn't it because there are monsters outside the city and there may be danger at any time?"
"But what did you do? Take a nap? Do you want to kill all the brothers?"
Upon hearing Liu Shan's reprimand, Ma Zhi and Feng Fang's face turned red, and he knelt down on the ground with a plop.
"You are guilty, please punish me!"
After all, they are brothers who have gone through life and death. Liu Shan did not want to punish him too severely, so he asked everyone: "Can you tell me how to punish him?"
After the scene was silent for a few moments, someone asked: "Sir, according to military law, this is considered dereliction of duty. Although there are no serious consequences, they will still be beaten with thirty military sticks!"
Thirty military sticks, if this is really implemented, Ma Zhi and Feng Fang will probably have to lie down for a month or two.
So at this moment, Ma and Zhi's expressions changed greatly, but they did not dare to say a word of begging for mercy.
But I heard the person who just spoke continue to say: "But in the current situation, hitting them with military sticks will only hinder us. Why don't we record them first... or make meritorious service for their crimes!"
Ma and Zhi quietly raised their heads, their eyes shining with hope.
"There is some truth to it. Using a military stick is actually a burden, what do you think?"
Everyone present nodded. After all, they are all brothers in the same team, so naturally they don't want to see their brothers suffer misfortune.
"Okay, since that's what everyone means, let me record the account for you for the time being. If you dare to commit another crime in the future, you will be punished as well!"
Hearing this, Ma Zhi and Ma Zhi immediately kowtowed and said, "Thank you, sir!"
"If you want to thank me, thank you brothers. They were almost killed by you two. I hope you will be punished again. Think about how you can live up to your brothers!" Liu Shan said with a cold face.
The purpose of putting this matter on the line is to warn everyone, but now he has achieved his goal.
"After breakfast, you two get out of the car and move the corpses outside farther away!" Liu Shan said, looking at Ma Zhi and Ma Zhi.
The corpses were scattered randomly next to the chariots, and the smell was really unpleasant. If they were infected with the disease, it would be a big trouble.
This was considered punishment for Ma Zhi and the two of them. After having breakfast, the two got off the car honestly.
Before they left, Liu Shan reminded them to be careful, after all, Li Erxia's incident hadn't been over for long.
A new day began like this. When Ma and Zhi were carrying the body, the sound of rapid horse hooves came to their ears.
The two of them turned around and found that the person who came was a palace guard. They thought they were out of the city to clean up monsters.
When he came closer and saw about twenty corpses on the ground, Hu Dabiao made a sound of surprise.
"You killed all of these?"
Ma Zhi quickly replied: "To tell you the truth, it was us who killed him!"
At this moment, in the military vehicle, Liu Shan also saw Hu Dabiao coming over, so he immediately rushed out of the vehicle.
"I have seen you in this humble position, sir!"
Hu Dabiao jumped off his horse, walked to the body and inspected it, then nodded.
Each of these corpses had several wounds. They were not as decisive as the guards in killing them. At first glance, they looked like ordinary soldiers.
Hu Dabiao turned around and asked in confusion: "Why did so many monsters appear last night?"
They had cleaned up the area very clean. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be so many zombies.
"Sir, it seems we need to search this area again!" said a small flag officer.
After Hu Dabiao nodded, he asked Liu Shan: "In which direction did the monster come out last night?"
After some recollection, Liu Shan pointed in a direction in the forest, and then Hu Dabiao nuzzled at his men.
Several flag officers led their subordinates and searched directly towards the forest.
When they cleaned up this area before, they mainly concentrated on both sides of the official road, attracting zombies by making noise, so they never entered the forest to search, which would be too inefficient.
Hu Dabiao walked towards the open space on one side of the official road. There were large fields of wheat, which were now golden.
At Hu Dabiao's signal, Liu Shan let his men do their own thing, and then he quickly came to the side of the wheat field.
"I am Hu Dabiao, the commander-in-chief of the Guards Department. What is your name?" Hu Dabiao turned around and asked.
"Little Liu Shan!"
"You were attacked last night, and it's our fault that we didn't clean up. I'm sorry!" Hu Dabiao said very sincerely.
This actually made Liu Shan a little flattered. The general banner of the Guards Division, whose status was higher than that of the Hundred Households of the Military and Horse Division, actually accused him of a mere small banner.
Hu Dabiao is such an upright person, and he does bear some responsibility for this matter.
If he had not ensured that the zombie density was reduced, the city would not have stationed military vehicles here at all, nor would it be about to start the autumn harvest.
Today, if safety cannot be ensured again, Hu Dabiao will give feedback to his superiors again, suspend the autumn harvest here and withdraw the military vehicles.
"Your Majesty, your words are serious. There are dangers outside the city that are unpredictable. No one could predict this!" Liu Shan replied cautiously.
Hu Dabiao didn't say much, but looked at the wheat field ahead.
The wheat is golden and it is almost time to harvest. This is the hope for Yuanyang City to be maintained.
"In ten days and a half, the harvest team will be dispatched from the city. You will have to take care of it then!"
"When the monster appears, you have to take the initiative to prevent the monster from hurting the people of the harvest team!"
Speaking of this, Hu Dabiao said with a smile: "Beicheng Yang Qing, you know, right? He and his men have killed many monsters by relying on military formations!"
Liu Shan, who was personally praised by Zhao Yanxun, certainly knew that Hu Dabiao's words just now could be said to have put tremendous pressure on him.
