(The sixteen monthly tickets of "His Royal Highness Neild" made me feel the true love in the world!)
Rushing through the group of corpses outside Huiping County, Zhao Yanxun and his party were very tired.
Restoring physical strength was the most important thing. After getting rid of the corpses, Zhao Yanxun arranged for his men to rest in the woods.
While resting, Zhang Meng was heard sighing: "My lord, I never thought that there are still living people in this county, and they are living quite miserably!"
He originally thought that he was miserable enough in Yangjiazhuang, but compared with the people in Huiping County, he was much better off.
Of course, Zhang Meng believed that the luckiest thing for him was that he was rescued by Zhao Yanxun earlier, so that he could live a good life under the protection of the palace.
"A heavy rain has left so many people alive in Huiping County. There may be people alive in other places in Gu Meng Mansion!"
While talking, Zhao Yanxun looked into the distance.
Where he rests, he usually chooses a high-lying place so that he can have a better view.
There is an official road connecting Huiping to Gu Meng's Mansion, which can greatly improve their traveling speed, provided they don't encounter groups of corpses on the road.
By this time, they had rested for more than ten minutes and it was time to rush on their way.
"Get on your horse and set off!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.
On the official road, there was a loud sound of horse hooves, and they continued to rush northwest.
Gu Meng Mansion has a lot of cultivated land, but it is not a plain. There are many hills scattered among it, and of course there are also some big mountains.
This resulted in villages being divided by these mountains and forming relatively closed small societies.
To be honest, this kind of concentrated living environment will make the clan power stronger and it will be difficult for the government power to penetrate.
The more closed a village is, the fewer opportunities it has for contact with the outside world, and the possibility of the zombie virus spreading is the lowest.
Those villages close to the official road were not so lucky, so Zhao Yanxun walked along the official road and encountered all abandoned villages.
Along the way, they felt that the outside of Gu Meng's Mansion was five or six miles away on the hillside, and they could no longer move forward.
Not surprisingly, there was a circle of zombies outside the city of Gu Meng Mansion.
Looking at the city ahead, Zhao Yanxun looked a little disappointed.
Although there are zombies wandering outside the city, their density is not very high. The density of zombies also increases near the city, which means that there is no one in the city.
Moreover, Zhao Yanxun also discovered that the city gate was open, and there were zombies wandering even at the city gate.
He originally had great hopes, but in the end it turned out to be like this. Zhao Yanxun's disappointment can be imagined.
At this moment, Zhang Meng asked from the side: "Your Majesty, what should we do next?"
After compiling his mood, Zhao Yanxun sighed: "Let's go check out the other counties in Gu Meng Mansion!"
Population is extremely important to Zhao Yanxun, so he will not give up easily. If the prefectural city does not have it, then he will go to other counties to find it.
"drive……"
As a result, Zhao Yanxun and his party rode away, causing a commotion at the east gate of Fucheng.
Zhao Yanxun rode away, but he didn't know that there were two pairs of eyes looking at them on the hilltop three miles southeast of the city.
"Second uncle...did you see it?"
"Xiao An, what did you see?"
"Second Uncle, there seemed to be officers and soldiers on the east side of Fucheng just now!"
"I saw it too, I thought... I thought it was because I didn't wake up!"
The child called Xiao An said excitedly: "Second uncle, the officers and soldiers are here, we are almost saved!"
"But now he's gone!" the second uncle said with a hint of disappointment.
"Second uncle, don't you think it's a pity?" Xiao An asked.
At this moment, the two of them were wearing camouflage clothes made of branches and vines, and they were lying carefully on the tree talking.
Yao Laoer laughed dryly, and then said: "What's a pity? These officers and soldiers, who care about our life and death, are probably here to see if there are any living people in the city!"
"There's no one alive in the city, so they left!"
Xiao An nodded and stopped talking.
Looking into the distance, Xiao An whispered: "Second uncle, that pig is going in!"
Yao Laoer looked at the trap not far away and immediately shut up and stopped talking. If he could hunt this pig today, the village's food would be improved again.
Especially children, if they don’t eat better, they won’t be able to grow taller.
Two or three feet away from them is a clip placed by Yao Laoer. Once you step into this thing, you can't even think about leaving.
Getting closer and closer, and finally... the pig stepped into the clamp, and the mechanism was triggered to clamp its feet immediately.
In pain, the pig suddenly started to run around, and then stepped on another trap.
In the mountain forest, the black pig made a harsh cry, which made Yao Laoer feel frightened.
"Let's go, kill it quickly, otherwise the monster will be attracted!"
After Yao Laoer finished speaking, he jumped down from the tree trunk with a hammer in his hand.
That's right, it's a hammer.
Although hacking to death with a knife is convenient, it will have a strong smell of blood, which is the easiest way to attract zombies.
So the best way is to use a hammer to knock the pig unconscious or to death, which is relatively better.
Anyone who can survive in the apocalypse has his or her own set of survival experiences.
Wang Xiaoan also jumped to count at this moment. Although he was only fifteen years old, his next movements were also very smooth.
Yao Laoer holds the hammer, while Wang Xiaoan holds the pole with a noose tied to it. Their division of labor is very clear.
With a swing of the pole, Wang Xiaoan successfully caught the black pig's head, and then ran around a tree twice, completely fixing the black pig in place.
Raising the sledgehammer, Yao Laoer hit the pig's head three times, and the black pig naturally turned into a dead pig.
Originally, there were no pigs in this mountain. After many villages were infected with the virus, the pigs kept in captivity were left unattended and a large number of them escaped.
The mountains are rich in vegetation, which is undoubtedly a paradise for these domestic pigs. After a year of reproduction, their numbers have increased.
"Hurry up, wrap your head in cloth, tie us up and carry us back!" Yao Laoer put aside the sledgehammer and said.
The reason why the head is wrapped with cloth is to block the smell of blood. Pigs killed by smashing also have a smell.
The pig they killed weighed no more than a hundred pounds, so they could easily carry it back.
Soon, the black pig was taken care of, a pole was passed through the rope, and the two of them carried the black pig and rushed to the club.
The two of them were walking on mountain roads. These places were densely covered with thorns and there were usually no zombies.
Some of the trails were suitable for people to walk on. Yao Laoer and Wang Xiaoan were quickly heading towards the village along the trails.
When they reached a place with a clear view, they stopped to rest. Carrying a pig on this road was a great drain on their physical strength.
"Silly boy, look at Fucheng, everyone is gone..."
"Second uncle, are we stuck in the village for the rest of our lives?"
"Silly boy, you're only a little older, and you're already thinking about the rest of your life!"
Sighing, Yao Laoer suppressed his smile and said: "Who the hell wants to be trapped here, but what can we do... There are so many monsters outside, if you go out, you are looking for death!"
"But there are no officers and soldiers. As long as we find the officers and soldiers to help, our village will be saved!"
Yao Laoer said calmly: "How do you know that the officers and soldiers are here to save us, not to rob us?"
As the saying goes, bandits are as good as combs, and soldiers are as good as grates... Yao Laoer understands this very well.
