This time Zhao Yanxun came out to observe the public sentiment, but in fact he had another purpose.
After staying in Yuan County for two days, Zhao Yanxun took more than a dozen guards and left the group to go south.
At the beginning of the year, there was a black bear attack in Yuan County, and Zhao Yanxun personally led troops to deal with it.
These raging black bears can collect meteorite fragments, so Zhao Yanxun let them go.
Now that more than half a year has passed, Zhao Yanxun finally has time to come over and check. He is looking forward to seeing these black bears surprise him.
Dama is close to a series of mountains, and it is rare to see people around.
When Zhao Yanxun returned from the mountains, in order to prevent black bears from hurting the people, Zhao Yanxun issued an order that no one was allowed to approach the mountains within twenty miles.
Everyone rode their horses forward, and the sound of horse hooves made the surroundings even more silent.
"Your Majesty, we are entering the mountains ahead!" Zhang Meng reminded.
At the beginning of the year, it was Zhang Meng who followed Zhao Yanxun into the mountains.
"Be careful!" Zhao Yanxun said.
Although the guards have been promoted to level two and their personal combat effectiveness has been further improved, they are still at a disadvantage against the black bear.
Only a person with abnormal strength like Zhao Yanxun is qualified to fight a black bear head-on.
The guards were all cautious and dismounted when approaching the mountains. The mountain roads were rugged and they could only walk.
Ten people were left to guard the horses, and Zhao Yanxun only took five people into the mountain. More people would be a burden to him.
The mountain road was rugged and difficult, and they had to rely on memory to determine the direction. They were not going very fast.
There are tall trees all around, and the chirping of birds can be heard from time to time, making the place even more peaceful.
Ouch...
Upon hearing this sound, everyone present became alert.
Although the zombie density in Yuanyang is extremely low, it does not mean that there are no zombies at all. There are more zombies in the mountains than outside the mountains.
After walking for more than two miles, Zhao Yanxun could notice that the zombies were getting closer and closer.
"alert!"
When he said this, Zhao Yanxun did not panic at all.
With peerless force, he is invincible in both melee and long range attacks, as long as he is not trapped in a large group of corpses.
"Ouch..."
Several more howls allowed Zhang Meng and others to determine the direction of the zombies.
"Ouch..."
At this moment, through the gaps between the branches and leaves in the forest, they could already see the zombies rushing towards them.
"Kill..." Zhang Meng yelled.
The guards all carried swords. Although they had been on duty in the palace for a long time, their actual combat experience was not bad at all.
When not on duty, Zhang Meng and Lin Dagui would take their guards out of the city to find zombies to kill, and they also set a certain amount for each person.
At this moment, the zombies were attacking, and the guards responded calmly, and could almost chop down one of them with one sword.
The physical quality of zombies is somewhat stronger than that of ordinary people. Coupled with their ferocious appearance and fearless attack methods, they are truly unbeatable in the early stages.
When ordinary people encounter zombies, they have only two possibilities: fleeing for their lives or being bitten to death, so zombies can spread quickly.
But as long as a person is trained, possesses strong force and a brave heart, he can even the gap between him and the zombies.
Not to mention the elite palace guards, even the most ordinary soldiers from the Military and Horse Division can now use military formations to clear out small groups of zombies.
For example, the zombie density in Yuanyang has been reduced, and in the later stage, it all depends on the unremitting efforts of the garrison in various places.
Even now, the Privy Council receives reports from time to time that ordinary people living outside the city can kill zombies that break into the village.
In the early days of the zombie outbreak, people were more afraid of zombies than tigers and leopards. In fact, they were more afraid of the unknown. After all, objectively speaking, zombies were not more ferocious than tigers and leopards.
Now that the unknown is basically eliminated, the zombies' weaknesses are exposed, and the organized people can naturally fight against them.
When Zhao Yanxun was lamenting this, the guards had killed all the zombies without Zhao Yanxun having to lift a finger.
"Keep on going!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.
More than thirty zombies were killed on the spot, and the whole process went smoothly.
As they walked further into the mountains, the mountain road became more and more rugged. During this period, they encountered several waves of zombies, but the whole journey was uneventful.
Just when Zhao Yanxun estimated that he was not far from the black bear's den, he heard a high-pitched roar coming from ahead.
"Ouch..."
This kind of sound was definitely not something ordinary zombies could make, which made Zhao Yanxun wary.
If it is an advanced mutation, it will indeed pose a certain threat to him.
"Everyone, be careful!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.
Several people slowed down, made as little noise as possible, and slowly approached the valley ahead.
When there were still two miles away from the valley, Zhao Yanxun discovered the wandering zombies.
Turning on the system's perception ability, he found that the density of zombies in front was increasing.
Now comes the problem. If you want to get closer to the valley, you must first deal with these zombies.
But once you take action, making a fuss will attract more zombies.
So this requires that while killing zombies, you must not make any noise.
"Bring me the bow!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.
Killing with arrows is the best way at this time.
Zhang Meng quickly handed over the Meteor Iron Bow. After Zhao Yanxun upgraded it for the fifth time, its effective range had become an appalling 600 meters.
With his bow and arrow ready, Zhao Yanxun was not in a hurry to shoot, but was observing the terrain.
Now that the situation had changed, he could not move forward rashly. He had to find a place close to the valley and with high ground.
Soon, Zhao Yanxun locked the position about three hundred meters to the northwest, where there was a hillside.
So Zhao Yanxun started to take action, but instead of walking in a straight line, he took a detour near the hillside to avoid these zombies as much as possible.
When they were a hundred meters closer to the hillside, they could no longer move forward because there were zombies in front of them.
He raised his bow and nocked an arrow, and Zhao Yanxun let go of the arrow. The next moment, a zombie was shot through the throat.
That's not all. After the arrow pierced the throat, it shot through the throat of a zombie behind.
Although they greatly admired Zhao Yanxun's archery skills, the incredible scene in front of them still shocked Zhang Meng and others.
Killing two corpses with one arrow was nothing to Zhao Yanxun, so he pulled the bow string again.
With a "whoosh" sound, the arrow shot out of the air again.
Not surprisingly, this arrow killed two more zombies, and Zhao Yanxun then shot a third arrow.
The zombies in front fell down like straw blown by the wind. It only took a few minutes for the road leading to the hillside to be cleared.
In just these few minutes, nearly a hundred zombies were killed, and corpses fell on the ground.
These zombies are dead, but there will be more zombies coming soon, so Zhao Yanxun and the others have to pass quickly.
"Go!" Zhao Yanxun ordered.
Everyone then sneaked towards the hillside ahead, stepping on corpses from time to time.
When we came to the hillside, the view here was extremely wide, allowing Zhao Yanxun to see clearly what was going on in the valley.
"Find a place to hide first!" Zhao Yanxun said to the left and right.
When he came here, he was not in a hurry to act, protecting his own safety was the first priority.
Zhao Yanxun could clearly feel that the zombies he had just shot were stronger than ordinary zombies, which meant that this place was very dangerous.
When Zhao Yanxun's voice fell, the guards immediately took action. Only Zhang Meng froze on the spot, looking at the valley ahead.
