About half an hour later, Jiang Feng and others arrived at the secret underground base.
That ghost Xiu Yi was placed under house arrest in a secret room that was well-equipped, just like the secret room where No. 0 was once placed under house arrest. The difference was that Gui Xiuyi was shackled and his movements were restricted. When she saw Jiang Feng and Chu Ci, she was scared at first, then started to speak incoherently, and fainted again while talking.
Jiang Feng caught Gui Xiuyi and asked Chu Ci, "What's wrong with her?"
"During this period, Gui Xiuyi was depressed, rarely ate, and was weak, so..."
"You Chu Ci, how can you treat a weak woman like this?"
"I didn't abuse her. It was because her mental endurance was too weak. She didn't think about food and tea, and she became depressed and ill."
"No normal person can bear to be locked up in a place like this for a long time."
Jiang Feng thought of Zero again. He didn't know where he went after escaping from Hedong. Although there is a high probability that he has joined Ao Lie's force, so far, Su Kouye's spies inserted into Ao Lie's force have not yet investigated the relevant information about No. 0.
"First take Gui Xiuyi to a safe place and take good care of him." Jiang Feng ordered Gu Yuxi.
"yes."
On the other side, an investigation system has been established at each gate of Laizhou City, and civilians who have not yet been infected are evacuating the city in an orderly manner. But overall, the release speed is not fast. Fortunately, Jiang Zhi's forces have arrived one after another. They entered Laizhou City and established defense lines and set up decoys in key streets to prevent the spread of the crisis to the greatest extent. As for the agile superpowers and generals, they basically move freely. Their goal is to kill as many bloodthirsty mosquitoes as possible. After all, bloodthirsty mosquitoes are even more harmful than those dark zombies.
In Laizhou City at the scene, there were still many civilians locking their doors and hiding in their homes. The dark zombies spread faster on the ground, but their spread speed between buildings was very limited. Because he doesn’t know how to press the elevator or search in an orderly manner, it is difficult to infect all the civilians in the building. However, bloodthirsty mosquitoes can fly into the building at will, infecting civilians in the building, and then the civilians in the building can infect other civilians in the building.
Because of the bloodthirsty mosquitoes, the infection rate in Laizhou City was nearly ten times faster than that in Cangzhou City. It has only been about an hour since the crisis broke out, and the number of infections in the city has already exceeded 300,000.
Fortunately, Jiang Feng invested a large number of high-level combat personnel this time, and they killed the bloodthirsty mosquitoes as quickly as possible. Coupled with the continuous incoming army, the current infection rate has been greatly reduced. In addition, in order to protect Chu Ge, Chu Ci cooperated with Jiang Feng as much as possible. He ordered those subordinates who were still willing to obey his orders to cooperate with Jiang Zhi's forces to put out the crisis.
Of course, there were also a few people who judged that Chu Ci was almost doomed, so they disguised themselves as ordinary civilians and planned to escape from the city. But only a few people managed to escape because there were no marks on their bodies. And those powerful cadres and officers will have the exclusive brand of the Cross Chamber of Commerce. For example, some of the vice-president levels, and even Mr. Kong's apprentices, will also have a special black cloud mark on their bodies. Therefore, these people basically had no way of getting out of the city. They either obeyed Chu Ci's orders and assisted Jiang Zhi's forces in putting out the crisis, or they hid in the dark corners of the city watching the show and doing nothing.
The crisis in Laizhou City is the largest crisis that has occurred in Hedong so far, so this will be a long-term battle, and it will be impossible to solve it in less than a few days.
On the other side, Feng Du, who was far away in Beiming Langfang City, was meeting with
The subordinates had a lively discussion.
The spies came to report that the central main force of Jiang Zhi's forces and most of the high-level combat personnel were in Laizhou City to deal with the dark crisis. Now all fools know that Jiang Zhi's forces in Cangzhou City are empty of military strength. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to seize the city.
Most of the subordinates believe that they should take advantage of this opportunity to attack as soon as possible. After all, this period of time has been very frustrating. If no action is taken, the morale of the army will inevitably be weakened and the fighting spirit will gradually disappear. But Feng Du knew that Jiang Wei, Pang Long, and Tianpeng were now in Cangzhou City.
This Tianpeng fell from the sky before, bringing with it the power of a meteorite, which scared Feng Du so much that he couldn't sleep well for several days. Precisely because of Tianpeng, Feng Du dared not take any action. But as time went by, Feng Du and other generals felt that Tianpeng did not have the ability to destroy the world. If he really did, why didn't he attack Langfang City, and why didn't he join Jiang Feng's main force to quickly sweep away Chu Ge's forces?
There are various signs that Tianpeng's power falling from the sky is just a flash in the pan. After all, he is only a man, not a god.
Now, almost all of Jiang Feng's main forces are trapped in Laizhou City. The crisis cannot be put out in less than three to five days. If we attack Cangzhou City now, we will get twice the result with half the effort.
After urgent discussions, Feng Du finally issued an order to attack Cangzhou City southward.
Feng Du invested 50,000 ghost soldiers this time, equivalent to about half of the total force. They wore armor and headed south. But Feng Du did not bring the hundreds of thousands of dark zombies with him this time, but imprisoned them in Langfang City.
The main reason is still worried about Tianpeng. After all, even if Tianpeng no longer has the ability to destroy the world, he is still a very powerful group attack superpower. Although the strength of these hundreds of thousands of dark zombies is basically above 100, it is still difficult to resist the powerful group attacking superpowers. In addition, dark zombies have an uncontrollable swarming nature and like to gather together, so they will become a living target for group attack abilities.
In order to protect these dark zombies, Feng Du decided not to take them out this time. After all, these hundreds of thousands of dark zombies are Feng Du's property and cannot be used indiscriminately. These dark zombies grow very fast. As long as they are fed every day, they will strengthen rapidly. On the contrary, the longer the time is delayed, the more beneficial it is to Feng Du.
Feng Du led the eight generals of ghosts and gods, and formed nine groups with them. Each group was named according to the title of the general, as follows: All those who are facing the enemy are arrayed in front. Among them, Feng Du's title is Ji, which means controlling the overall situation.
Nine groups marched overnight towards Cangzhou. The lights of the sentry towers along the way in Cangzhou City were extinguished one after another. The speed was staggering.
On the other side, the scouts from Jiang Zhi's forces rushed back to Cangzhou City to report the military situation to the deputy city lord Yin Xiao.
The lord of Cangzhou City, Yuwen Mie, was temporarily transferred away to participate in the Eastern Expedition against Chu Ge. As for Yin Xiao, although she is the deputy city lord of Cangzhou City, she has not participated in a war for a long time and does not have much experience in city defense. She had no choice but to call all the generals to hold a meeting at the military base.
Yin Xiao thought for a few seconds, then made another call and asked someone to call Jiang Wei and Tianpeng to come to the military base to discuss matters.
Jiang Wei is nominally the young lord of Jiang Zhi's forces, but has no real power. As for Tianpeng, he never felt that he was Jiang Feng's subordinate, so he did not have any official position or real power. But this meeting would not be possible without the two of them.
At the meeting, a veteran general lamented: "Feng Du sent the main force. It is really difficult for us to resist. Now we should urgently send people to ask the lord for help."
Yin Xiao replied: "As soon as I knew that Feng Du was coming, I had already sent people to find the lord. But Feng Du's army will arrive within a few hours. And the lord's army is still being extinguished in Laizhou City In the dark crisis, we will not be able to return support in a short period of time.”
"So what the deputy city lord means is that we must hold on until the lord extinguishes the dark crisis?" asked another general.
"Of course it is, but our defenders only have about 10,000 troops. We still don't know which gate Feng Du will attack. How should we allocate them?"
"this……"
Yin Xiao's question puzzled everyone. After all, ten thousand defenders were too few. If Feng Du attacked the four city gates separately and the defenders were unable to do anything, one of the gates would easily fall. And if Feng Du's purpose is not to capture Cangzhou City, but to directly attack the city wall, then it will be easier to break the city.
At this time, Tianpeng took the initiative and said: "I will deal with them first before Feng Du comes."
Everyone knows Tianpeng's abilities. He is especially good at group attack abilities. It is not a bad idea to let Tianpeng go over first and consume Feng Du.
Most of them nodded in agreement with Tianpeng's suggestion, but Jiang Wei thought about it and objected: "No."
"Why is this?" the old general asked.
"It took my father so long to conquer Chuge. Why didn't Feng Du come before, but why did he come at this time?"
"Because he was afraid of Tianpeng's ability, Tianpeng fell from the sky, like a meteorite falling to the ground, destroying the world. But you and I both know that that kind of ability cannot be reproduced." The old general said.
"But how many people know? Our ordinary soldiers don't know, they are still full of confidence. And Feng Du is actually doubtful, otherwise he would not delay attacking Cangzhou City until now."
"Then what you mean is that Tianpeng still won't take action and will use negotiations to hold Feng Du back?"
"Yes, by working with Tianpeng, we can create fire that fills the sky, enough to dye the night red."
"First use your momentum to scare Feng Du. This method is worth a try." said the old general.
"Then, who is going to negotiate with Feng Du to delay?" another general asked.
"The city lord is not here, so I, the deputy city lord, can only go there." Yin Xiao said.
"Absolutely not. The city lord is not here. The deputy city lord will coordinate the overall situation and command the entire army. Nothing will happen. Just let me go. Anyway, I am over fifty years old and I have only one life."
"Old general, don't talk nonsense. New humans have longer lifespans, and you still have a lot of time."
"But at the moment, who else wants to go besides me."
"No matter what, the old general is still not suitable to go."
In fact, Yin Xiao's real idea is that the old general is not famous enough and his status in the army is not high enough. If he is sent to talk to Feng Du, it will seem like there is no one in Cangzhou City, but he will not be able to shock Feng Du. . But to save the old general's face, Yin Xiao would not tell the truth.
Just when everyone was in trouble, a voice rang.
"I'll go." Kun Jiang stood up on his own initiative.
General Kun is the confidant of the city lord Yuwen Mie, and currently serves as the leader of the Cangzhou City Guard Group. He has a high prestige and reputation in the military. He once openly contradicted Jiang Wei, which can be said to be extremely prestigious. Although General Kun was slightly punished later, he was still the mainstay of the army.
In other words, Kun will be qualified to negotiate with Feng Du, and it is indeed appropriate for him to go.
