(I have to work to make a living, so it’s difficult to maintain updates. Please bear with me!)
Standing on the roof, watching the soldiers returning from afar, Zhao Yanxun sighed.
After more than a month of continuous suppression, the zombies on the west side of Zhenxi Pass have been eliminated, and the density of zombies within twenty miles to the east has been greatly reduced.
Even so, it was difficult for Zhao Yanxun to be satisfied with the results achieved in the direction of Zhenxiguan.
To the east of Zhenxiguan is Hanoi County, and the closest city to Chengguan is Wushan County, which is nearly sixty miles away from Zhenxiguan.
At the current rate, there is no need to attack Wushan County before the Chinese New Year, so Zhao Yanxun came to personally supervise the battle.
Of course, he himself knew very well that the further east he went, the more likely he was to encounter high-level zombies, so he came here to deal with these zombies.
At this moment, they are in a village twenty miles east of Zhenxiguan, which has been temporarily transformed into a military camp to serve as a support point for Yong's army to advance eastward.
If the front line is pushed forward another ten miles, they will change their positions.
When the soldiers return, they will still be attacked by zombies, but the result is obvious: all zombies "seeking death" will be killed.
The soldiers returned to Zhuangzi and returned to their residences according to the established arrangements. They would rest after eating.
Sitting on the roof and thinking about things, I heard a voice from below: "Your Majesty, it's time to eat!"
"knew!"
When Zhao Yanxun walked down from the roof, two hundred households and two thousand households were already standing in the courtyard waiting.
Every night at dinner, these four generals would come over. They would report today's situation to Zhao Yanxun and agree on tomorrow's mission arrangements.
When Zhao Yanxun walked into the house, he heard a mountain call from the east before he sat down.
"Long live His Highness King Yong!"
The rules in the military are strict, and you must shout long live before eating, and this will be strictly enforced at all times.
After Zhao Yanxun sat down, he shouted outside: "You guys, come in!"
The four people outside walked into the room. Although they were all fierce warriors, in front of Zhao Yanxun, they were just loyal ministers.
"See you, my lord!"
"Sit down!"
There are two small tables on the left and right sides of the room, where the four people can sit respectively. The table is already set with food for today.
The food is very simple, each person is given three steamed buns, two small plates of pickles, and a large bowl of gruel.
"Your Majesty, the mutton is roasted, can you bring it in now?"
Zhang Meng appeared at the door of the house. He was the most powerful man in the army, killing zombies like pigs and dogs, but now he was dressed like a cook.
"Bring it in!" Zhao Yanxun said calmly.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Meng was seen holding a rack with a whole lamb that had been roasted brown.
I heard Zhang Meng say as he walked: "Everyone, you will all be in luck with the sheep I shot for the prince today!"
When marching, it is not difficult to eat meat, and game will appear from time to time.
There is only one rule, whoever hits it gets it, and you can eat it by yourself or with others.
I heard Gao Zheng'an, Qianhu, the military commander, say, "Today, we are all following Prince Zhan's glory!"
The guard Baihu Liu Enfu sitting opposite said: "Well, how can we not feel honored to have Zhang Baihu cook for us!"
This is really not a compliment. Zhang Meng is the front guard of the palace, and his status is no lower than any of the generals present.
The grill was placed in the middle of the room, and Zhang Meng brought in a charcoal basin to continue heating the barbecue.
Using a knife to remove a leg of lamb, Zhang Meng carefully handed it to the plate in front of Zhao Yanxun and said, "Your Majesty, please!"
This well-known figure in the palace, now transformed into a "waiter" without any disobedience, which made Zhao Yanxun smile a little.
Looking at the ministers sitting on the left and right, Zhao Yanxun said calmly: "Since you want them to follow you, don't just share the meat with one person!"
Zhang Meng was no longer idle and started sharing the meat with others.
In this winter, there is nothing more beautiful than eating hot lamb.
While everyone was eating and drinking, Zhao Yanxun asked: "Have you found any traces of high-level monsters today?"
Upon hearing Zhao Yanxun's question, everyone stopped what they were doing.
"Reporting to the prince, I didn't notice it!"
"Your Majesty, I also found out!"
The next two people didn't find it either. This answer was not surprising to Zhao Yanxun, because it had been the same result for the past two days.
After thinking for a while, Zhao Yanxun said: "These high-level monsters will never disappear out of thin air... Tell me, where did they go?"
This was not easy to answer, and everyone frowned in thought.
After a few breaths, I heard Cui Xing'an from Qianhu say: "Your Majesty, have they escaped into the mountains?"
These advanced mutated zombies are extremely harmful. If they cannot be destroyed, Zhao Yanxun will not be able to sleep peacefully.
If those senior officials really escaped into the mountains, it would be even harder to find them, which would be the worst outcome for Zhao Yanxun.
At this time, the guard Baihu Xu Yu said: "Your Majesty, why don't you send people to search in the mountains? The more advanced the monsters are, the more monsters will gather around them. As long as they are in the mountains, it is still easy to find them!"
At this stage, the main reason is the lack of manpower, and it is simply not possible to send enough manpower into the mountains to search.
In desperation, Zhao Yanxun said: "Let's talk about this matter after we capture Wushan County and gain a foothold in the pass!"
"Yes!" everyone responded.
Next, they discussed tomorrow's tasks together, mainly to continue to open the way forward.
The process is that Zhao Yanxun releases the mission, each general talks about his own difficulties, and Zhao Yanxun makes appropriate adjustments.
In this way, after the meal was finished, the brief military meeting ended.
After several generals left, Zhao Yanxun said to Zhang Meng who was cooking on the side: "With so much meat, don't eat it alone, share some with others!"
"I understand!" When he said this, Zhang Meng took a big bite of another piece of meat.
"Your Majesty, today is the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, your Highness's 100th day!"
"Do I still need you to remind me about this?" Zhao Yanxun asked.
He did still remember this matter, but because he had important responsibilities, he could only miss this hundred-day banquet.
Of course, with the letter he sent to Yuanyang, the so-called banquet couldn't be held at all.
"Take all these things away and rest early after eating. Tomorrow you have to lead people to follow the middle road!"
Although their duty is to escort Zhao Yanxun, Zhang Meng and the dozens of subordinates he leads have always been fighting on the front line.
"yes!"
Soon, all the food and drink were evacuated, and it was already getting dark.
After simply cleaning up, Zhao Yanxun opened the third-level system in his mind. The system was unlocked on the first day of December, but Zhao Yanxun never redeemed it.
The system said it wanted to refresh items, but the household appliances that were refreshed this time were all useless waste.
For example, shavers, microwave ovens, TV sets and air conditioners.
Of course, he can also exchange for food, weapons and armor, but the amount of exchange for these two types is very large, so it is not suitable to open the exchange on the front line.
Every time the exchange is completed, the system will be locked for three months, so Zhao Yanxun must exchange as many items as possible.
Boom...
Just as Zhao Yanxun was browsing the system and planning the redemption plan, he suddenly heard a deafening explosion from outside.
Something happened... Zhao Yanxun came to this conclusion.
He quickly picked up the weapon from his side and rushed out the door.
Just listen to Zhang Meng shouting: "Your Majesty, this is the sound of a grenade!"
