Time flies, half a month passes in the blink of an eye, and it’s September 20th.
Thirty miles north of Yuanyang City, this is the northernmost point of Yuanyang Prefecture.
Further north is the Bahe River, and further north of the Bahe River are Andu County and Jingdong County, where the palace has stationed a small army.
This army has a total of thirty-four people and is led by a general.
They originally had three military vehicles, but they were not in use at the moment. Instead, they were parked directly outside a small courtyard.
And all the soldiers live in this small courtyard. The place here is spacious and much more comfortable than the military vehicles.
Being stationed here, these soldiers are not idle. They also have fixed tasks every day.
To sum up, it's just the same: search for useful supplies within the jurisdiction and rescue the people who were missed before.
The sun rose in the early morning, and when the first ray of sunlight shone into the courtyard, all the soldiers had already had breakfast.
Everyone was chatting about themselves when they heard applause from the main room. Everyone turned their heads and saw General Secretary Zhang Ersheng standing there clapping.
Zhang Ersheng is in his thirties and has a relatively tall build. He is usually comparable to the brothers under his soldiers, so he naturally wins the respect of all the soldiers.
"Listen damn well, stop talking nonsense here, quickly put on your armor, and meet here in half an hour!"
This was actually a daily procedure, so the soldiers immediately returned to their respective positions and helped each other put on armor when they arrived in the room.
Nowadays, the production of bamboo armor has greatly increased, and even ordinary soldiers can now get a pair of bamboo armor.
These battle-experienced soldiers are even more powerful with armor, and they are more confident when facing zombies.
Soon, a total of thirty-three people, led by three flag officers, lined up at the foot of the steps and all stood in front of Zhang Ersheng.
"Otherwise, Qin Hao can win the respect of the prince. Look at it...their team's actions are more aggressive!"
Qin Hao is also in the team at this moment, and Zhang Ersheng is his boss.
Even though Zhang Ersheng is still an ordinary person and he has been given the power of divine martial arts, he still respects his boss Qin Hao.
After praising Qin Hao, Zhang Ersheng suppressed his smile and looked at the people in front of him with a serious expression.
At this moment, he is no longer everyone's brother, but the commander-in-chief of all soldiers.
"All of you, stand at attention!"
After Zhang Ersheng gave the order in accordance with the military training instructions, there was only a "pop" sound, and all the soldiers stood in line, giving people the power of being as immovable as a mountain.
"According to today's plan, Niu Shangzhong and Cheng Chun, you two will take people to search the villages in the west and try to bring back any good things!"
The two people who were pointed out were the other two small flag officers. At this moment, both of them accepted the order and said yes.
"Qin Hao, follow me to the north to the river and search for ships along the bank...see if you can encounter any living people!"
The living person mentioned here was that they had seen someone sailing on the Bahe River before, but when they got closer, the person left.
Little did they know that the person they saw sailing on the Bahe River was Huang Tianyan who was fishing with his men.
After Zhang Ersheng read out the order, everyone replied: "Yes!"
"Okay, just follow what I just said, you can all do your own thing...be sure to pay attention to safety!"
"yes!"
Immediately afterwards, the two flag officers led their subordinates, took all the guys and walked out of the yard.
As soon as they left, the yard suddenly became empty.
"Sir, when are we going out?" Qin Hao suddenly asked.
"The river is not far from here. Just go there and take a look. If there are any monsters, we will take care of them!"
"Let's go now!"
After saying that, Zhang Ersheng stepped out and Qin Hao took the initiative to get out of the way.
Immediately, everyone followed Zhang Ersheng and slowly walked out of the courtyard, and the last person closed the door.
After walking out of the courtyard, they did not gather together, but scattered within a radius of three feet.
Walking slowly north, Qin Hao was bored at the moment. Today's task was not challenging at all.
Zhang Ersheng could tell what his subordinates were thinking just by looking at his face. He said, "Qin Hao, I know you only want to make meritorious deeds, but now that your merits are enough, you have to give the other brothers a sip of soup!"
"If you have any grievances, just tell me. Don't blame them two!"
After Zhang Ersheng said this, Qin Hao could only laugh twice.
"You are valued by the prince. This time the Military and Horse Division expands the army, you will at least get the position of commander-in-chief!"
Seeing that Qin Hao remained silent, Zhang Ersheng continued: "If you are lucky... it is not impossible to become a hundred households, so don't argue with them!"
At this time, Qin Hao couldn't hold it in anymore and just heard him say: "Sir, you really praise me. The general flag is not even there yet, how can I dare to think about Baihu!"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Ersheng shook his head and said: "I am not promoting you, it is the prince who wants to promote you!"
"The prince said you can do it for a hundred households, then you can do it!"
Qin Hao was speechless for a moment, then smiled and said, "Sir, I'll lend you your good words!"
"Hahaha... If you really want to become a hundred households, I will have to pay you a tribute!"
Most people would feel uncomfortable if their subordinates were promoted faster than themselves, but Zhang Ersheng was very open-minded.
"My lord is my senior. I have always supported you these days. I will never forget my great kindness and humiliation."
Qin Hao said this sincerely, and he still respected Zhang Ersheng very much.
The two of them wandered here and there as they hurried on, and soon arrived at the bank of the Bahe River. However, they still didn't see any boats today.
Then they continued to patrol around the river, cleaning up zombies whenever they encountered them, and time gradually passed by.
But at the other end, the empty yard they left behind was watched by a group of people.
There is a large amount of food and various daily necessities stored in the yard, which are extremely precious things in these last days.
Zhang Ersheng and others thought that there were no living people near Yuanyang and there were only a few zombies, so he sent everyone out without considering sending anyone to stay behind.
But he would never have thought that there was a group of extremely vicious thieves on Wutai Mountain in the north of Yuanyang.
At this moment, a total of thirty men with steel knives appeared outside the courtyard.
The leader has a scar on his face. He is the leader of this group of thieves. His name is Ma Cheng.
This time when we went down the mountain, Ma Cheng, as the second in charge, took away more than half of the people in the village, just to grab more things and go back.
"Don't waste too much time and quickly pack up the things inside so that we can go back to the mountains!" Ma Cheng ordered his men.
"Okay!"
Everyone was so happy that they stepped forward to open the courtyard door and came directly outside the warehouse.
For today, they have been watching for more than ten days, and finally made up their mind to take action today.
"Damn it, these officers and soldiers are really nothing. They have plundered everything. They are trying to force our brothers to death!"
At this time, someone said angrily: "When my family fled back to Yuanyang, they sealed the city gate, causing my whole family...all to die by the moat!"
Hearing the discussion among his men, Ma Cheng stepped forward and slapped him twice, and then scolded: "Hurry up and get to work. If the officers and soldiers come back later, they are looking for death!"
After being scolded by him, everyone shut up and quickly took things from the warehouse.
