After the three armies successfully merged, Kong Fan led the remaining more than 7,000 people to the east.
When escaping from Huaiyu Mountain, Kong Fan's head got hot and he wanted to turn around and attack the mountain, and continue to deal with the other two groups of corpses.
But under the advice of Lang Hua and others, he finally gave up.
It turned out that after the southwest zombie group was breached, the coalition forces retreated quickly in the mountains according to the established route, far behind the zombie group.
At this time, the best corpses in the west and north directions were all on the southwest slopes, while many old, weak, sick and disabled people were left in the west and north directions of Huaiyu Mountain.
If we turn around and attack the mountain at this time, we will be able to catch the corpse group by surprise from behind.
Even if it doesn't succeed, with this counterattack, Kong Fan will have an explanation when he goes back this time.
However, after hearing Kong Fan's thoughts, many of the lords present looked embarrassed.
They believed that the corpse tide had already passed them by, and there was no need to provoke them again.
Moreover, Lang Hua considered that night was approaching and the sky was turbulent, as if a blizzard was about to fall.
Night is the home field of the zombies, and the troops have no advantage in fighting against the zombies.
It would be okay if I could get away with it this time.
But if the battle goes awry, it will attract the attention of the main force of the corpse tide on the north side of the mountain.
When the time comes, the zombie tide turns around to catch up and attack from a high position.
Tonight's sneak attack will become a nightmare for everyone present.
Most people disagreed, so Kong Fan canceled the plan.
In order to gain time, the troops rushed through the night after a short rest of one hour.
If the journey goes well, they are expected to arrive at Longquan Mountain at dawn and complete the defense change with the second-line troops of the Kong family guarding there.
…
I have to say that Lang Hua is very accurate in reading the weather.
The coalition forces encountered a snowstorm halfway.
In an instant, a strong wind blew up, snowflakes filled the sky, and the wind speed once reached 60 kilometers per hour.
The fierce north wind mixed with snow particles whizzed towards my face.
On the windward side one could hardly breathe easily.
Fortunately, the coalition forces hid dozens of trucks at the foot of Huaiyu Mountain.
The wounded in the team were put into the carriage, so they didn't have to suffer the cold outside with Kong Fan and the others.
I don’t know how much time passed, but the wind and snow in the mountains showed no sign of abating.
Suddenly, there was a sudden "squeak" of the brakes, and a truck in the front tilted its body, broke the guardrail, and drove off the road.
A car behind me applied the emergency brake, but was rear-ended by a truck further behind.
In the center of the motorcade, Kong Fan blocked the wind and snow with one hand and asked loudly:
"Why did the convoy stop?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, countless snow and ice crystals entered his mouth, and the bone-chilling chill made him shiver unconsciously.
"Commander, the road ahead is icy. A car skidded and hit the guardrail and was damaged."
"How are the people in the car doing?"
"Everyone in the car is fine. Only one driver suffered a minor head injury."
"That's good, hurry up and repair the car." Kong Fan nodded and asked, "Can this section of road be bypassed?"
"Commander, I'm afraid this won't work." The person who answered was confused, "The snow is too thick and I can't see the road clearly. It's okay to walk on the asphalt road, but if you walk on the mud, it will be troublesome if the truck accidentally gets stuck in a hole. .”
Kong Fan frowned when he heard this and said after a moment:
"Okay, I understand everything you said. You go and cooperate with them to repair the car."
At this time, Lang Hua came over after hearing the news and asked: "Brother Kong, what happened ahead?"
"It's nothing, it's just that the road is icy and a car ran off the road and was damaged."
Kong Fan continued: "I'm thinking about letting the team camp in place for repairs and wait for the wind and snow to subside before leaving."
Lang Hua thought for a while and said: "It's okay to repair, but you have to find a place with leeward wind. At this temperature, if you don't light a fire, something will happen to the wounded."
"No," Kong Fan said with a bitter smile as he pulled out snow cubes from his collar, "not to mention the wounded, even I can't bear it."
Then he turned around and shouted, "Herald! Where is the herald?"
"Commander, I'm here!" A young soldier responded in the wind and snow.
"Send the order, after the vehicle is repaired, move forward slowly and set up camp at the mountain col in front for repairs!"
"yes."
The young soldier received the order and turned to leave, but Kong Fan grabbed his arm.
"Commander?"
He looked up at Kong Fan, his immature face flushed red by the wind and snow, and his big eyes full of doubts.
"Tell the injured brothers to keep on holding on, and there will be hot water and meals soon."
"Understood."
The young warrior nodded heavily and saw Kong Fan take something out of his arms and stuff it into his palm.
He looked down and saw a piece of chocolate that was still warm.
"Commander, what is this?"
"Eat this later. The snowy road is slippery, so you don't have to run too fast." Kong Fan bent down and took a picture
He patted the other party's shoulder and said warmly, "Thank you for your hard work this time."
"Yes. Thank you...thank you, young master!"
The young soldier finished speaking incoherently, and then ran away.
He ran even faster than when he came, completely forgetting Kong Fan's instructions.
Kong Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "This little guy..."
As a bystander, Lang Hua was quite surprised by this scene.
He immediately asked: "Brother Kong, do you know this kid?"
Lang Hua could tell - this child was only fourteen years old at best. He joined the army at the age of fourteen, which is not uncommon in the apocalypse.
However, these child soldiers are generally bullied in the army. But not every leader is as honest as Kong Fan, and not every team is as disciplined as Kong Jiajun.
"Yes, I recognize it. In the early years of the disaster, my uncle rescued many survivors in Lincheng, including many children who had lost their parents. He was one of them."
"This kid's name is Lin Tao. He is very smart and lovable. He has been following me since last year."
Kong Fan looked at the child's back and seemed to recall many things from the past.
Finally, he asked suddenly and abruptly:
"You said... can we ever get rid of the zombie tide, rebuild the world, and let them go back to school?"
Kong Fan didn't look at Lang Hua when he spoke.
I don't know if he is asking Lang Hua or himself.
The wind and snow at midnight are getting bigger and bigger,
The shrill wind blew across the canvas cloak in the back of the truck,
Evolved into the howling sound of ghosts and wolves,
In the wind and snow, no one could give Kong Fan an answer.
…
The blizzard continued all night, and the wind and snow gradually stopped in the second half of the night.
The snow in this season follows the wind. Once the wind stops, the snow becomes much lighter.
Taking advantage of the less snow, Kong Fan ordered his men to pack up their tents and set off eastward again.
As we walked on the road, our field of vision was still completely white.
After the wind subsided, the visibility in the air increased greatly, and the team walked for two or three hours without any danger. The leading truck broke down on the road.
"what happened?"
"Commander, it's the same car that was repaired. It seems to have broken down, and the maintenance workers are working on it."
"Hurry up, we can't stay here forever. Maybe there will be another snowfall later."
"yes."
