Not long after, an army of ten thousand people was assembled.
They left the Nanming Gate in the east, detoured northward through Meilan Mountain, and pursued three groups of thousands of corpses fleeing.
That direction is the Dalou Mountains, and there are more than a dozen large and small doomsday bases scattered among the mountains.
As the leader of the Southern Ming Alliance, Wang Shouye issued an order to clear away the corpses to all the refuge bases in this area. Anyone who disobeyed the order was regarded as a traitor to the human race and associated with the corpse mutants.
In order to avoid unnecessary complications, Wang Shouye also sent more than a dozen messengers to this area, telling them before leaving that they must convey his intentions properly.
The next day, one of the fleeing corpses passed through Cannes, a small base with only a thousand people.
The city lord and the two deputy city lords here are three brothers. They usually make a living by robbing passing evolvers, and they have a ragtag group of people under them.
Since the disaster, they have never dared to go head-to-head with any group of zombies above medium size. The largest battle they fought was in a shopping mall, where they killed more than a hundred ordinary black corpses at the cost of two hundred people.
When the group of fleeing corpses passed by, the city lord here ordered the door to be closed tightly, and hid in the city lord's mansion with a group of soldiers, shivering, ready to leave the people behind and escape through the back door at any time.
But fortunately, this group of corpses only wanted to escape and didn't bother to pay attention to them for a second.
This made the three brothers feel amazing, and at the same time they were excited about the situation of narrow escape from death.
But before he was happy for a long time, the second among the three brothers was startled and said:
"Sorry, brother, this group of corpses is not the same group that the Wang family asked us to intercept in the summons."
The city lord sitting at the head was a bearded man. After listening to the second brother's words, he touched his beard and sighed: "I'm afraid so."
The second brother panicked when he heard this: "Dalou Mountain is so big, how come... these guys just crashed into us... Brother, if that doesn't work, let's run away."
The second brother asked the bearded city lord for his opinion. Unexpectedly, the latter smiled bitterly and said: "Run? If you run away, you feel guilty and admit your guilt. We brothers have worked hard for more than a year to get this little family fortune. Second brother, are you willing to give up?" Run?"
"This... I'm reluctant to give up. But it's better than losing my life. The Wang family said that if they don't intercept the corpse group, they will be regarded as traitors to the human race."
"Let him go. Who is Wang Shouye? Does every plant, tree, money, and grain here have anything to do with his Wang family? I think that instead of running away, we should pay him a fortune and treat him as ours." mental damages."
Upon hearing this, the second child immediately knew that his elder brother had an idea.
But thinking about the powerful Wang family, he still couldn't help but feel guilty.
He asked the bearded man: "But we didn't fire a single shot. Is this okay?"
Unexpectedly, the bearded city lord stared and asked him:
"Why can't it be done? Let me ask you, how many people are there in our city now?"
The second child counted on his fingers: "There are more than 5,000 people who can fight. Counting the elderly and children, there are about 8,000. Or more than 1,800, or even less."
The bearded man laughed after hearing this. He patted his second son on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Look, you are the second in charge here, and you can't even tell how many people there are in the city. Can those outside gentlemen know?
Let me tell you now, there were originally 25,000 people in our city. After a fierce battle with twice our number of corpses yesterday, we suffered heavy casualties, and now only 4,000 people are left. "
"Brother, it's eight thousand." The second child corrected.
"Is it you who can tell me? Those people can't really count. If I say twenty-five thousand, it means twenty-five thousand. If I say four thousand, it means four thousand."
"Hehe." The second child finally figured out the key and said hurriedly, "Brother is wise."
He was about to go out when, unexpectedly, the bearded man had a new idea.
He said: "Second son, where are your ten artillery pieces? Take them out and plow the land outside the city gate."
Artillery is a valuable thing. They saved it for a year and a half, but they didn't have dozens of shells in total.
For this reason, the second child said with some heartache: "We didn't even want to use it when the corpses passed by."
"Oh, you know nothing. If you don't look like you have fought in the war, can the Wang family let you go after the war?"
Only then did the second child suddenly realize. When it comes to acting, since you are acting, you must act for real.
Anyway, the Wang family will foot the bill afterwards, so why should I worry about it in vain?
"Brother, I understand."
"You know what the hell, take a team of people to the dungeon, kill all the prisoners on death row and throw them outside the city.
Then chop up the dozens of black corpses in the cage, chop them into bloody mud, and then mix them into the soil outside the city.
Remember, blood must be sprinkled on the city walls, and on the clothes of the brothers. The more blood the better. "
Only then did the second child realize. He said happily: "Brother, I understand. I think I will let the third child find a few big trees to light, and throw them together outside the city."
Reading with rice balls
"That's right. If anyone asks, remember to say that we went through a fierce battle before we had no choice but to let the corpses go west. From top to bottom in Kangcheng, from the city lord to the ordinary soldiers, most of them were seriously injured, and almost all of them were killed. The army has been destroyed."
Three days later, a royal messenger arrived late.
The man left with satisfaction the next day. The package contained a sincere and sincere letter from the bearded city lord, as well as dozens of rare crystal nuclei presented by the three brothers.
Recalling the beauties the three brothers had prepared for him last night, the messenger staggered and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
At the same time, the Wang family's second messenger walked into a medium-sized power building a hundred miles north of Kangcheng, but left after half a day disappointed and angrily.
It turned out that he arrived a step too late. The defending troops here had already fought against one of the corpse groups last night. In the end, they defended the city, and the corpse group left five hundred corpses and headed north in confusion.
The messenger suggested that the city lord here immediately organize troops to pursue him, but unexpectedly he was declined by the other party.
These people only focused on cleaning the battlefield and grabbing crystal cores, completely ignoring that the super zombie king who only wanted to bring trouble to Jiangnan was probably among the remaining corpses.
In the eyes of the messenger, this kind of behavior only cares about small profits and completely ignores the overall situation.
But the reasons given by the other party are also very sufficient.
There had just been a battle with a group of corpses in the city, and the remaining people still had to defend the city.
It's not that they don't want to pursue, but that they really don't have the ability to pursue.
What if the base is raided by zombies just like the Jianhe base as soon as they leave?
The messenger had no choice but to report the information truthfully and ask the leader to make a decision.
After the messenger left, the cronies in the city asked the city lord:
"Sir, Jin Zhu asked us to evacuate the battlefield quickly and pursue the corpses to the north. We just refused, is that really okay?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the old city lord looked at him as if he were a fool.
The old city lord said: "Are you stupid? How long can crystal nuclei be preserved in the natural environment? If we take people away, wouldn't all these crystal nuclei be wasted?
The Wang family wants to avenge the 200,000 Qianxi Army and consolidate their position as leader of the alliance. What does it have to do with us?
We endured hardships and hardships with him, and fought a tough battle with the black zombies with our own efforts. Isn't it too much to collect some well-deserved trophies? "
"But the notice said - we have a sworn hatred against the Corpse Clan..."
The old city lord advised earnestly: "You silly boy, I think you have all been deceived by those individuals.
We have a grudge against the zombie clan, but the zombies have all run away. Naturally, there is a base in front to intercept them. Why should we worry about that? "
The young man said: "But...but the notice said that there may be a corpse king hidden in the group of corpses."
"The Corpse King is here? Then we can't fight him."
The old city lord curled his lips and said:
"Think about it, even the 600,000-strong army of the Wang family can't do anything to the Corpse King. How can we with little arms and legs dare to provoke an enemy of the Corpse King's level?"
"Besides, if you are resented by this God of Disaster, what will you do if you are retaliated by him in the future?
We are currently doing our best to help the Wang family, but when something happens to us, others may not be able to help us.
People who are too obedient don't live long, and that's the end of Yuping Base.
Think about these words carefully. "
…
Four days later, the fifth messenger of the Wang family walked into a base with a capacity of 10,000 people in the northern range of Dalou Mountain.
After leaving Nanming City, he hurried on a starry night and finally arrived at his destination before the corpses arrived.
That night he was warmly entertained by the lord here, but unexpectedly fell into a coma during the banquet. When he woke up, he was trapped in a prison.
He wanted to run away, but as soon as he stood up, he fell to his knees with a "bang". Upon touching his body, the weapons and satellite phone in his pockets were also searched.
It turned out that while he was in a coma, someone cut off his hamstrings and imprisoned him here.
He was originally an esper with the speed ability "Wandering Hundreds of Miles", but now he has become someone else's prisoner.
It's just that he was having fun at the banquet, letting his guard down amidst the compliments, and then revealed his secret to others!
In the gray moonlight, he looked towards the cell opposite. He could vaguely see a few vague figures there.
"Hi, brother. I am the messenger from Nanming City. May I ask who you are..."
"Ho ho... ho!" "Uh uh ho ho."
He couldn't continue talking. Several pale faces across from him were leaning against the bars of the cell.
Look at the rotting flesh, sharp teeth, and long, sharp nails, what else could it be if it weren't a black corpse!
While the banquet guests were frightened in the underground cells, the base lord's dormitory was brightly lit.
Two middle-aged people were sitting at the table discussing each other.
"Changes will happen later, why don't you do it now..."
The man who spoke shaved his head and made a gesture of wiping his neck.
The other man in a suit opposite him shook his head.
The short-haired man asked: "Brother, are you worried that the Wang family will come to your door?
Don't worry, it's wartime now, so no one is aware of it.
Who knows if he was killed or eaten by a black corpse.
Besides, Fatty Wang won’t fall out with us because of this person’s death. "
The man in a suit sat at the head of the table and nodded to show that it made sense.
But he still said: "It's more useful to keep that guy."
Seeing that his men were confused, he did not explain, but asked: "Have the scouts you sent out come back?"
The other person replied: "Two are back. There is indeed a trace of a group of radiated corpses in the middle of Dalou Mountain, but the number is not large, only a thousand or so. What? Brother, do you suspect that the news of the zombie wave is a smoke bomb?"
"I do have this worry." The man in the suit nodded, "In the past two years, we have had little information in this mountain.
At first, I heard that Yuping was besieged and attacked by a group of corpses. In the blink of an eye, the reinforcements disappeared halfway, and the group of corpses that destroyed the city also disappeared.
Later, the tide of corpses besieging Jianhe suddenly disappeared. Who knows if this is the work of the Wang family?
We have been fighting with the black corpses all day long. How many forces have been secretly destroyed by the Wang family behind our backs?
There is also the Song family, who are not satisfied with taking over the territory of ASEAN. It is said that they have already planned to expand northward. "
The short-haired man was thoughtful after hearing this.
He thought for a while and said, "Brother, your worries are not unreasonable. Even if the news from Fatty Wang this time is true, the remaining corpse tide broke through the blockade of the Nanming defenders and headed north.
But who can guarantee that Wang Jiajun is following the tide of corpses, waiting to pick up some bargains? "
"That's right." The man in the suit said with a sinister smile, "If he wants to use us as cannon fodder to consume the zombie tide, and then attack us with the zombie tide when we are in trouble, so as to seize our territory, then think about it. So beautiful.
The practice of falsely destroying Guo has long been outdated. Who is our real enemy in troubled times? Is it the Corpse Clan, or the likes of Wang Shouye and Song Huaiyin?
I think the zombie tide will always recede. At that time, who will decide this territory will still depend on whose fist is bigger. "
