Xu Yu quickly ran to the door, and sure enough he saw the "luxury" armor of the palace guard on the path in the distance.
The arrival of the front guard of the palace is naturally equivalent to the arrival of Zhao Yanxun.
The courtyard door was opened, and Xu Yu led several guards to welcome him out.
The other general flags are not here. They are patrolling with their guards. After all, they have to protect the safety of nearly a thousand people.
After traveling all afternoon and taking three hours, Zhao Yanxun arrived at Chengde from Yuanyang.
Pulling in the reins and looking at the messy courtyard in front of him, Zhao Yanxun turned on the system perception.
Thanks to the system, he found a strand of blue-gray hair on the window of the main house in the courtyard, and he could tell that it was not human hair.
So according to Xu Yu's speculation, this is indeed likely to be wolf hair.
The windows on both sides of the house were broken and had this kind of hair on them, which meant that there were at least two wolves, and they rushed into the house together.
"See you, my lord!"
Looking at Xu Yu kneeling in front of him, Zhao Yanxun said solemnly: "When these wolves are showing off their ferocity, there is no movement at all?"
"I'm telling you, Your Majesty, I really didn't notice any movement!" Xu Yu lowered his head and answered.
There are a hundred of them, and the area under their jurisdiction is not very large, so it is normal for them not to notice any movement.
Zhao Yanxun did not delve into this, and anyone who came would only end up with this result.
"Okay, you go and do your own thing. The common people will stop working these two days!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.
"Yes!" Xu Yu answered carefully.
Xu Yu naturally wanted to leave this place of right and wrong.
After taking him back, only Zhao Yanxun, Zhang Meng and other guards were left at the scene.
Without getting off his horse, Zhao Yanxun directly turned on the system perception and searched for the direction in which the wolf might escape.
Not long after the incident, the traces and smells left behind were easily discovered by Zhao Yanxun.
It only took two minutes for Zhao Yanxun to "scan" the area around the small courtyard and then determine the direction in which the wolves were leaving.
"Go south!"
After giving the order, everyone followed Zhao Yanxun and rushed south.
Xu Yu is good at chopping zombies with a knife, but he is definitely not good at tracing traces. It is normal to find no trace of wolves.
The ferocity of the wolf is very difficult for humans to subdue, but now that it has withstood the radiation, it may mutate into something different.
Therefore, Zhao Yanxun did not let Lin Quan participate in the disposal. There was not much use in encircling and suppressing the wolf pack unless hundreds of people were mobilized to search.
So just let Zhao Yanxun do it himself and treat it like hunting.
This time when he left the city, Zhao Yanxun carried a large amount of dry food, so he could spend seven or eight days outside without any problem.
A group of ten people rode south, and as they stopped and walked, the sky became darker and darker.
That is to say, Zhao Yanxun was an expert in art and was brave enough to dare to rush on the road after dark.
The further south you go, the more remote the place becomes, and the higher the density of zombies.
After walking only three to five miles, they encountered four waves of zombies, all of which were killed by Zhang Meng's men.
Nowadays, after many actual battles, even ordinary soldiers who have not been upgraded can easily kill zombies when combined with military formations, not to mention the elite among the elite such as the palace guards.
The reason why he was walking and stopping was because Zhao Yanxun wanted to activate his perception and continue scanning the direction in which the wolves were leaving.
But when they walked less than five miles, Zhao Yanxun discovered something unusual. The smell of wolves here became stronger.
This means that the wolves are either around or have just left.
Either way, it means danger is approaching.
"Everyone, be careful, wolves may be around!"
At this point, even Zhao Yanxun couldn't turn on his perception ability at will. This thing consumes a lot of physical strength.
The guards drew their sabers, while Zhao Yanxun picked up his bow and arrow.
Being able to shoot from a distance is naturally better than fighting at close quarters. A gentleman would not stand behind a dangerous wall.
Next, Zhao Yanxun and his wife slowed down their pace, and the smell of wolves became stronger as they went forward.
Zhao Yanxun, who instinctively sensed the approaching danger, pulled the bowstring with one hand. He could face any risk in the defense line calmly.
His sensing range is fifty meters and cannot be turned on continuously, otherwise it will consume too much physical energy.
At this moment, a hundred meters away, behind the trees, there were more than a dozen wolves, large and small, gathering together to bite the corpses on the ground.
What was on the ground was not a living corpse, but a wild boar.
Fresh flesh and blood is very attractive to humanoid zombies, so dozens of zombies surrounded it.
At this time, it is a battle between wolves and corpses.
Half of the wolves continue to eat, and the remaining half transform into bodyguards and directly kill the approaching zombies.
Although the zombies move swiftly, they are still much inferior to those of wolves. Moreover, these wandering zombies are not intelligent and can easily have their necks bitten off by wolves.
As a result, zombies approached one after another, and their necks were quickly bitten off to the end, and they might even become food for the wolves.
One or two who rushed inside were killed by the wolves who stayed behind before they had a chance to bite the wild boar's flesh and blood.
The wolves are intelligent, strong and fast, so it is completely impossible for zombies to steal food.
While the wolves were biting, they all suddenly stopped, not even paying attention to the zombies that came to grab food.
Because they smelled a stronger scent of living creatures not far away.
"Ouch..."
This howl is more "pure" than the roar of zombies, and the animal nature is naturally stronger.
A hundred meters away, Zhao Yanxun heard the roar and pulled the bow string to its fullest limit.
The direction in which the arrow is aimed is the direction in which the sound is coming from.
Zhao Yanxun came closer with his horse, and the smell of blood became stronger and stronger.
The zombies that originally gathered for the wild boar flesh and blood, after discovering the living creatures like Zhao Yanxun, rushed towards them one after another.
Zhao Yanxun didn't say a word, only hearing Zhang Meng yelling loudly next to him: "Brothers, let's get to work!"
Several guards mobilized their horses and stood directly in front of Zhao Yanxun. They could deal with these unintelligent zombies.
When the zombies rushed over headlessly, more than a dozen wolves jumped out from behind the trees, each with green eyes.
These wolves are about one meter in length and are particularly strong and powerful in appearance, making them difficult to deal with.
It was the next moment that the wolves appeared that Zhao Yanxun loosened his bowstring, and the arrow shot out quickly with a roar.
Zhao Yanxun drew the bow with all his strength, and the effective range was up to three hundred meters. Now the target was only a hundred meters away, and he could reach it in an instant.
The wolf at the front was shot directly through the head, and its huge body fell to the ground without even having time to scream.
The wolf pack is indeed a wolf pack. After the first wolf was shot and killed, the other wolves immediately dispersed, but Zhao Yanxun also discovered who the alpha wolf was.
"Ouch..."
The next moment, the remaining dozen or so wolves rushed towards each other. Zhao Yanxun didn't have time to think too much. He raised his bow and shot two more arrows.
Although he shot two more wolves, Zhao Yanxun lowered his bow and immediately drew the saber on the side of the saddle.
These wolves are not afraid of death and have rushed to a range of twenty to thirty meters in a few breaths. At this time, Zhao Yanxun must be ready for a close fight.
