Zhou Wei had no intention of escaping before. After all, why would he strive to make a living outside when he could live a stable life in Luzhou? However, when he learned about facing a million zombies, he was terrified. He knew what a million zombies meant. Even if they used up all their bullets, they wouldn't be able to kill all the zombies. Moreover, this was a zombie horde commanded by a zombie king. He didn't want to die, so he had to leave now.
Zhou Wei had joined the combat team in the first place to have a better life, because the combat team could live in big houses, obtain more food, and had nothing to do except training. At most, they had to maintain public order. Who wouldn't want to do such a thing? After all, others in Luzhou could only work honestly to get food.
However, when Zhou Wei realized that becoming a soldier meant fighting zombies, he had already been taken outside to reclaim a county town. At that time, he didn't know where to run even if he wanted to. Since there was no immediate danger to his life, he stayed. Now that his life was threatened, Zhou Wei could no longer stay here, so he had to leave to avoid dying in the battle with the zombies later.
Zhou Wei drove his car on the road, which was the same road they had taken last night, leading to Xiang'an City. Although there was a risk of encountering zombies there, the most dangerous place was the safest place. Therefore, Zhou Wei decided to be a bit bolder. As long as he returned to Xiang'an City, he could then move in other directions. As long as he avoided the zombies from Yuzhou, he could re-establish a base.
However, at this moment, a strange sound came from the car roof: "Dong."
Zhou Wei found it very strange. How could there be a sound from the car roof? While he was thinking, a face suddenly stretched down from the car roof, appearing right in front of Zhou Wei, startling him. When he looked closely at the face in front of him, he was stunned. The person appearing in front of him was none other than Shen Feng.
"City Lord?" Zhou Wei called out. He hadn't expected Shen Feng to catch up at this time. Moreover, the car was traveling at 120 kilometers per hour. Could Shen Feng really be human to catch up at such a speed?
Zhou Wei was filled with fear. Just then, the car passed a turn, and he forgot to control the steering wheel. As a result, the car broke through the guardrail and entered a field. Coincidentally, half of the car fell into a ditch, leaving the tires suspended and unable to move forward.
Zhou Wei had also reacted by then and quickly shouted to the people beside him, "What are you waiting for? If you get caught, you'll all die. Hurry up and shoot!"
The other four also reacted. If they were caught, they would surely die, so they all raised their rifles and began to shoot. This time, they didn't conserve bullets. They directly sprayed bullets at the windshield. However, just as everyone raised their guns, Shen Feng's figure flickered and disappeared.
Seeing Shen Feng disappear, the others became even more terrified. They then began to shoot wildly at the car roof and sides. In an instant, the car was riddled with holes like a beehive, and even the fuel tank was hit by stray bullets, causing pungent gasoline to flow out.
In fact, Shen Feng had quickly left the car when the others were about to shoot. He then ran to the side and hid, as he was worried about being hit by stray bullets. Shen Feng squatted in the ditch. It was autumn, and there wasn't much water in the ditch, so it wasn't particularly dirty.
When the five people had emptied their magazines, Shen Feng patted the dirt off himself and stood up from the ditch. At this moment, he felt as dashing as ever. After all, no one saw him hiding in the ditch earlier. Now that the opponents' magazines were empty, they shouldn't be a threat anymore.
Shen Feng slowly walked to the side of the minivan, which had turned into a sieve. He grabbed the car door and directly removed the dilapidated door. Then, he slowly said, "Why? Why run away? Why shoot?"
After Shen Feng removed the car door, the five people appeared in his sight. In fact, each of them only had one magazine. After every battle, Shen Feng would collect all the bullets except for one magazine. Therefore, he knew that once the bullets were gone, these five people could not threaten him for the time being!
Zhou Wei still hadn't given up resisting. He knew that betraying Shen Feng would have no good outcome. He had friends who were recruited by the City Lord's mansion and sent to prison for management. His friends had also told him something: there was a person in prison who had betrayed Shen Feng. After being caught, his hands were cut off, and he was cut once every day, as if he were being executed by slow slicing. Therefore, he knew very well that from the moment he left, he was already a traitor, and Shen Feng would not be lenient with traitors!
So, Zhou Wei shouted loudly to the people around him, "Let's go together! Only by killing him can we have a chance to survive!"
The five people were all evolved individuals, so they immediately drew their knives and hacked at Shen Feng. Regarding this, Shen Feng just shrugged and said, "It seems I won't get your answer in person!"
Shen Feng recognized these five people. When the mutated dog pack attacked Luzhou, these five people fought bravely and were rewarded with more mutated dog meat. After eating the meat, they became evolved individuals. Now, these five people were attacking Shen Feng, which made Shen Feng somewhat helpless. They were friends who fought side by side, but now they had to draw swords against each other. It was too much!
Shen Feng quickly used "As the Wind Follows" to accelerate, instantly escaping the attack range of the five people. At the same time, he slowly drew his long sword. In fact, due to prolonged combat, the sword was quite worn, but it was still enough to kill!
"Kill!" Zhou Wei rushed forward, desperate to survive.
Unfortunately, Zhou Wei's desperation was useless. After Shen Feng dodged the slash, he thrust his sword into his heart. Blood gushed out like a spring. Shen Feng withdrew his sword and retreated, then killed the five people one by one using his speed.
When it came to the last person, Shen Feng asked, "You want to establish a new base, just to enslave others, just to enjoy yourselves?"
"Otherwise? Under you, there's no future. The food we eat every day is just this much, and the houses are only a hundred square meters. We can't even find women to have fun. It's boring under you, so we want to pursue our own life goals!" the remaining person shouted loudly. Even now, he had no intention of repenting, which made Shen Feng quite helpless. He really didn't know what to say to people who were unrepentant to the end.
Shen Feng killed the last person with a sword and said lightly, "In troubled times, having food and shelter is enough. Many people are still suffering."
Afterward, Shen Feng took down the five rifles and headed towards the town. Firearms were still very important. If these people had stolen the guns, it would have been a great loss, as Shen Feng's side could not produce assault rifles, and even producing bullets was difficult. If even one was stolen, it would be almost impossible to replace. Of course, he needed to keep them safe.
...
Outside the urban area of Luzhou, a city wall had already been erected. It was a hexagonal wall, enclosing the largest possible area with the least amount of materials. The city wall was fifteen meters high, and the city gate was ten meters high. Ordinary people could not possibly climb over the city wall to enter. The city gate was made of steel but was hollow. The inside of the city gate was only connected by steel bars, as if it were made of pure steel, the weight would be extremely exaggerated, making it impossible to even transport.
Chang Jianyi stood on the city wall, with a group of people holding rifles around the city wall. Their faces were filled with fear. These people had never touched a gun before, nor did they have any combat experience. Now, after a day of instruction, they had to defend the city wall, and everyone was stunned. However, they at least had rifles to protect themselves, which also gave them a lot of reassurance.
Chang Jianyi frowned as she looked at the zombies below the city wall, pondering how to resolve the crisis in Luzhou. Currently, 300,000 zombies had surrounded Luzhou. They had not yet attacked, but the pressure they brought was already immense. She looked at the dense zombies below the city wall and felt a sense of powerlessness.
Although Chang Jianyi had received support in the form of five thousand rifles, apart from her three hundred direct subordinates, the rest of the people had no combat effectiveness at all. Even if she recruited a new batch of people as soldiers, they had never even undergone training before. Sending these people to fight was simply a joke.
It took the zombies two days to travel from Yuzhou to Luzhou. Along the way, they gathered a large number of zombies, so the number directly increased from 200,000 to 300,000. However, the city gate of Luzhou had been closed early. The zombies tentatively began to climb the city wall, but they could not climb up at all. In the end, they had to spread out to the surroundings until they surrounded the entire Luzhou. Although they had not attacked yet, the threat posed by these zombies was already very serious. Vicious crimes within the city had been soaring, and it seemed that many people wanted to take advantage of the situation to loot.
Chang Jianyi did not dare to let her younger brother go out casually anymore, as she was worried that her brother might encounter danger outside. Therefore, she specifically asked her brother to stay at home and sent two people to guard outside. Now, Chang Haojie was her only relative, and she could not let him be harmed, so she had to protect him strictly.
Among the zombies below the city wall, many were in a state of staggering. And as soon as these zombies fell to the ground, the other zombies would pounce on them and bite them. In a zombie horde, the weak had no right to survive.
At this moment, Tu Xuhuai also walked to Chang Jianyi's side and said with a smile, "Vice City Lord, I was still wondering about the saying 'An army marches on its stomach.' I was still considering what zombies eat, but now I understand. They have brought their own rations. If they can fight, they will fight. If they cannot fight, they are rations!"
Chang Jianyi looked at the zombies below the city wall and frowned, asking, "Aren't you worried at all? If these zombies break through the city wall, we might all be annihilated, not to mention that these zombies are already spreading the plague!"
Tu Xuhuai shrugged and said, "Of course I'm scared. My wife and children are also scared, but there's nothing we can do. The zombies will attack sooner or later. As long as we can hold them off, everything will be fine. If we can't hold them off, then we'll all be finished together. I've just seen the situation clearly."
Chang Jianyi nodded helplessly after hearing this and said, "The zombies will attack sooner or later. I don't know if we can hold on. If only we could find the zombie king, but the zombie king is hiding so well these days!"
Tu Xuhuai looked around and, seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he said in a low voice, "Vice City Lord, under these special circumstances, I heard that you still have a group of people. Why not specifically set up a supervisory team? Otherwise, once the zombies begin to attack, there might be deserters."
Chang Jianyi nodded after hearing this and said, "I have already assembled the supervisory team. Once the zombies begin to attack the city, they will appear. You can rest assured about this."
Tu Xuhuai looked at Chang Jianyi in surprise after hearing this. He hadn't expected that Chang Jianyi, who looked gentle, had already prepared a supervisory team. This ruthless approach seemed to be done by Chang Jianyi without any psychological burden.
Chang Jianyi looked at the zombies below the city wall and said with some relief, "Fortunately, these zombies have poor intelligence and don't even have siege equipment. They can't possibly climb over the city wall, right?"
