The waiter quickly told what happened in the restaurant one by one. Pei Mengqing was really angry and funny.
Just because of this reason, so many additional people were killed. It’s really...
He exchanged messages with Elder Liu Feng, and then he realized that the entire Tianhe County was now surrounded by an army of zombies.
Moreover, it seems that there is also a zombie virus lurking in the city.
He immediately asked the waiter where the mutated man came from? Are you originally from Tianhe County, or did you come from another county?
The waiter replied that the other party was a native of Tianhe County. The last few times he went out of the city, he only went out to chop firewood, and there was nothing special about him.
Pei Mengqing and Elder Liu looked at each other and both understood that things were going to be difficult.
There are countless people who have gone out to chop firewood. It can even be said that people in the entire Tianhe County have gone out to chop firewood, so everyone is suspected.
If I contracted the zombie virus while going out to chop wood, what was the source of the infection? A certain tree? A small animal that was casually hunted and killed?
But if the zombie virus is already in Tianhe County, what about people who were infected in the county? So what?
The scariest thing is that the source of infection is close to the water source.
"I'm going to search for the source of infection. I know more about this kind of thing." Li Liangcai volunteered.
Elder Liu glanced at him, then nodded:
"Proceed with caution and call us if you need help."
"Okay." Li Liangcai didn't say much.
In fact, he didn't think that his suggestion would be directly agreed to at first.
After all, he was wearing a white robe, and Elder Liu was not stupid. He had already understood that he came from the Gate of Nothingness when they first met.
But now that Neng can trust him and let him investigate the source of the infection alone, he is a little touched.
In an indifferent organization like Gate of Nothingness, after being given a task, they won't say anything else. It is necessary to complete the task, and you will be punished if you fail to complete it.
No one would ever say to him, "Be careful and come back to help if anything happens."
Therefore, the Gate of Nothingness is basically a lone traveler, and they will only get together when interests are involved.
No matter what he thought before, Li Liangcai has decided that this time he will do his best to handle things safely.
However, Pei Mengqing took a second look at Elder Liu and found that he was really mature and knew how to read people's hearts.
Pei Mengqing slowly shook her head:
"Elder Liu, there is actually a more terrifying thing before us."
Elder Liu is also a human spirit. After Pei Mengqing said this, his expression changed:
"Firewood!"
Most of the trees in Tianhe County have been cut down, leaving only a few thousand-year-old trees in the central campus.
Even if those thousand-year-old trees were cut down, it would not be enough to burn the city residents for a day.
Nowadays, there are zombie armies surrounding Tianhe County. Ordinary people cannot get out at all, and the city gates must not be opened casually, otherwise big trouble will happen.
Now that the location of the source of infection has not been determined, we need to be alert at all times to a sudden outbreak of the virus in the city, so we have to stay with experts in all five areas and rush to help at any time.
Ordinary people can't get out. Should we ask the great warlocks who can fly in the air to fly outside the city and chop down trees and then bring them back?
This plan seemed to have to be implemented in the end.
He is just a great warlock who can fly in the air. How can anyone who has no ambition be willing to go around cutting firewood to supply the mud-legged people in the city?
"By the way, there should be a lot of people who went out to chop firewood in the morning who haven't come back yet. We need to send someone to help them, otherwise they will be eaten by the zombies blocking the city gate as soon as they come back!"
Pei Mengqing thought again of the people who left the city early in the morning to chop firewood.
"That's exactly it. It's just that I have to go back to Qingzhu District for a meeting to share the current situation with the teachers and students. After that, in the central district, the entire Yanzhou University will discuss countermeasures based on the current crisis. The matter of saving the people will be left to It’s you, Teacher Pei.”
After speaking, Elder Liu took out a wooden token from his waist and handed it to Pei Mengqing.
"This is my waist card. With this waist card, you can go to the city guard camp to mobilize warlocks below the Qi level. They will obey your orders unconditionally. Go ahead and bring back the residents who are still outside the city."
Originally, Pei Mengqing wanted to say that her strength was low and she couldn't do much by herself, at least she couldn't avoid these zombie hordes.
As a result, Elder Liu directly gave him such great power, and it was difficult for him to speak, so he had to take orders and go to the guard camp.
It's a pity that Xiaori and Juju, his two old companions, are in the central area and not here, otherwise he would have the confidence to act together.
He took the token to the guard camp and told the sergeants about the current situation, leaving behind the leading general (he couldn't move the Qi-level general), and then selected three mid-to-late Xuanqi level warlocks to join him.
In the middle and late stages of the Xuanqi level, it can barely fly a certain distance, and at least it can fly over the heads of zombies.
These three are all school captains, and their surnames are Zhao Qiansun and Zhao Qiansun Li.
The three captains, Zhao Qian and Sun, did exactly what Elder Liu said and obeyed his orders completely. Even the ordinary people who heard that they were going out of the city to collect firewood showed no expressions.
Just after leaving the garrison camp, Pei Mengqing was pleasantly surprised to meet Xiaori, Ju Ju and a white cat.
"Aren't you in the library in the central area? Why are you back here again?" He then looked at the white cat, "Is this Qingyu? I've known you for a long time, I am Pei Mengqing, a friend of Xiaori and Juju. "
"Hello, I'm Qingyu, nice to meet you."
The white cat whispered with a gentle attitude and walked around Pei Mengqing. It felt that he had an aura that made the cat very comfortable. It was probably the smell of being favored by the world, which made it feel friendly.
"There were no records in the library, so we went to the archives in the county. Later we found out that the archives in Hexian County were actually in Xicheng District that day... So we came here. We originally planned to search for the archives, but we found that there were no records here. There was a commotion, so I rushed over, but I didn't expect to meet you." Xiaori also explained their itinerary.
"Who are these three big brothers behind you?" Juju asked.
"Oh, these three are the three captains Zhao Qian and Sun. They are mid-to-late Xuanqi level warlocks from the garrison. I accepted Elder Liu's order and temporarily asked these three brothers to go with me to pick up the chop outside the city. The common people who have not returned from Chai."
In fact, it is not just the common people, but also many teachers and students of Yanzhou University who go out of the city to chop firewood.
Pei Mengqing told the three cats all about the current situation and hoped to get their help. By the way, she also told Li Liangcai that he was responsible for investigating the source of the infection.
Juju and Xiaori naturally agreed happily.
After the two of them cooperated with Pei Mengqing, they felt that he was their best partner, and their strength was growing rapidly, and they would definitely become more and more reliable in the future.
Xiaori asked: "Qingyu, what about you, do you want to go out with us?"
