The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 117
As Zhao Yanxun expected, when he saw that there were very few people leaving the city, the people from the capital also planned to close the city gate.

So Wang Zong took Zhao Yanxun's token and came to the capital to explain the situation, and Chen Anming agreed directly.

At Yongning Gate, there were some scattered people leaving the city.

When the soldiers were about to close the city gate, the people who were late came ran over at a faster speed.

"Hurry up if you want to leave the city gate, the city gate will be closed immediately!" The hundred households on duty shouted loudly.

The people carrying the burdens and pushing the carts crowded towards the gate like bee pupae.

For a while, the city gate became extremely crowded, and this was the last wave of people going out of the city today.

The soldiers were pushed aside, forcing them to take up their scabbards and smash them, causing another commotion.

Seeing that the last wave of people had almost left, the hundred households on duty at Yongning Gate shouted: "Lock the inner city gate, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!"

Rumbling... Six soldiers pushed the heavy city gate.

Closing the city gate was also a hassle. It took more than ten seconds from wide open to fully closed.

Inside the city gate, dozens of soldiers stopped the people who were about to leave the city, so that these people could only watch the city gate close.

"My lord, open the door and let us go out!"

"My lord, please..."

The common people were crying and crying, but the hundreds of households standing on the city tower were furious, and he saved them by not letting them go.

"Everyone go back, go back!" Baihu shouted loudly.

At this moment, all the people in the urn city between the inner and outer city gates had left the city, and the outer city gate was slowly closed under the push of soldiers.

With a loud bang, the city gate was tightly closed. The soldiers carried sandbags from both sides of the city gate and threw them all inside the city gate. They were reinforcing the city gate.

When the city gate was filled with sandbags, the three suspension bridges on the moat were also pulled up.

The moat is almost 50 meters wide, but only 20 meters wide at the drawbridge.

Closing the city gate at night is a basic operation, but the suspension bridge is rarely closed, and it is extremely troublesome to close this thing.

When the suspension bridge was pulled up, Yuanyang City was completely cut off from the outside world.

At the inner city gate, the common people begged to no avail, so they had no choice but to go home honestly and wait for the next opportunity for the city gate to open.

There are many hills in Longyou, and Yuanyang City occupies a large area of ​​flat land. There are many hills and hills in its suburbs, which are not suitable for farming.

As a result, there are not too many people in the suburbs outside the city. Of course, all of these people have fled or mutated.

Most of the zombies wandering outside the city were locally produced, and the large number of corpses in other prefectures and counties have not yet harmed Yuanyang City.

Let's talk about those people who left the city. After leaving the city, they went to different paths and went to join their relatives and friends.

Those who have no relatives or friends mostly go to the southeast, and the prefectures and counties in this direction are richer.

If it was a natural disaster at the moment, their actions were correct, but unfortunately there are even greater man-made disasters outside the city.

Among the people who went out of the city, there was a team that was particularly different, because there were many young and strong people in the team, and women and children accounted for only half of the team.

What is even more unusual is that there are several horses in their team, which can easily pull up several large carts to salute, making it much easier for those on the road.

Zhang Ziming is the leader of this group of people. He is about thirty years old and looks elegant and easy-going.

But people who really know him will never think that he is easy to get along with.

More than ten years ago, Zhang Ziming was still a scholar.

It's a pity that before he passed the child birth test, he was coveted by fellow country gentry, forced his parents to death, and charged him with killing his father and mother.Zhang Ziming was forced to flee to the end of the world.

Because of his good brains, he also joined the horse bandits, but after he got revenge, he quit the bandits, changed his face and lived in seclusion in Yuanyang City, recruiting some brothers to start the horse dealer business.

"It's strange...why is it so quiet? Why do people who leave the city disappear as they walk?"

Looking at the salutes that appeared from time to time on the side of the road, and the shoes left behind for unknown reasons, Zhang Ziming felt even more strange.

There is a big epidemic in the city, and monsters that eat people have appeared. Could it be that there are also outside the city?
There was a smile on the corner of Zhang Ziming's mouth, all of this was too exaggerated.

For the safety of the city, it is really shameless for these talents to let the people out of the city... Zhang Ziming secretly said.

Now that he knew the government's plan, Zhang Ziming chose to leave the city because he had a better place to go.

As a horse dealer, he has a horse farm in Yuanshan Prefecture, which is enough to accommodate his men.

At this time, a strong man stepped up to Zhang Ziming's side, and said in a solemn tone: "Boss, the situation is not right..."

"I went out of the city for more than 30 miles, and I didn't see anyone on the road!"

They left the city late, after all, they had a big family and a big business, unlike ordinary people who could simply pack up and leave.

In fact, they were very lucky. They walked thirty miles safely after leaving the city. Most of them were entangled by zombies within ten miles.

The government dispatched people to lure away the zombies outside the city, at most thirty or forty miles away, but after the government people left, these zombies returned like a tide.

The people who were the first to leave the city were scattered and fled on the spot. Of course, there was a scene where there was no one on the road.

At this time, if you want to escape for your life, you must not run on the official road. If you do that, you will definitely not be able to beat the zombies, so the common people are all running into the woods.

After a group of people died, those who barely survived understood that they could only survive by hiding first.

Of course, some people returned to Yuanyang City along the path after getting rid of the zombies, but most people still chose to continue to join their relatives and friends.

Even though many people have experienced zombies, they still don't understand what it means.

Besides, Zhang Ziming and his party, his movement was actually very loud, which easily attracted the zombies wandering in the woods on both sides of the road.

There were not only zombies in the forest, but also many survivors. They were all hiding in the trees at the moment, and Zhang Ziming and his party had been discovered by them long ago.

But none of them made a sound, because the zombies were just under the tree, gnawing at their loved ones.

When Zhang Ziming and his party got closer, their noisy attraction overwhelmed the flesh and blood in the mouths of the zombies.

"Ow..."

One zombie stood up and looked at Zhang Ziming and his party on the official road, and the other twenty or thirty zombies also put aside their flesh and blood.

"Ouch..."

With a sharp roar, all the zombies rushed towards the official road as fast as they could.

Because he was a horse bandit, Zhang Ziming was extremely vigilant, and when he heard the movement, he immediately shouted: "There is movement, everyone be careful!"

These young and strong men under him all started to fuck, and all of them held tall wooden sticks.

"There's something in the woods..." Someone exclaimed.

Zombies rushed at a fast speed, and living things excited them more than flesh and blood.

"It seems to be a human..."

Hearing this, Zhang Ziming suddenly remembered the legend in Yuanyang City that there are monsters that cannibalize people.

"Who is it?" A man in the team yelled, and then slammed it out with a stick.

The rushing zombie was knocked down by the next one, but there were two zombies rushing towards this man, and he was immediately thrown down by the second one.

With just one bite, the strong man's artery was bitten off, and he let out a piercing scream.

The companions didn't have time to rescue them, because they were also facing the same crisis next time, and the whole team was scattered and chaotic by the zombies in the forest.

The cries of children, the screams of women, the screams of young and strong... resounded on this forest road at this moment.
