The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 163 Cutting Bamboo
It's June now, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

But at this time, being able to live and feel the sweltering heat is already a rare blessing, much better than those who were killed outside the city.

And these living people are holding format tools at the moment, appearing in the Yongning Gate of the South City, watching the gate slowly open.

After the inner city gate was opened, the common people entered the urn city, and then the inner city gate slowly closed, and they were locked in the urn city at this moment.

Inside the Wengcheng, there is a strong smell of blood. This is the place where Zhao Yanxun brought the guards to brush up their skill points.

Now the zombies around the city have all been killed, so the outside is safe.

But the people were still in fear of the zombies, even if they told him that the zombies outside had been emptied, they still resisted from the bottom of their hearts to let them out of the city.

Sensing the movement of the people behind him, the team leader quickly shouted: "Everyone, don't panic, it's safe outside!"

In fact, the official who led the team was also very nervous. Although there were no zombies outside the city, they were all outside the moat. Just seeing it made one's scalp tingle.

After the official calmed down, the commotion in the crowd decreased a lot, but some people still showed worry and panic.

Of course, there are also some who are courageous or confident about the future. Looking at the slowly opening outer city gate at this moment, their eyes show anticipation.

After being locked up in the city for so many days, they have long been exhausted. Going out of the city today is just an eye-opener for them.

Soon, the gate of the outer city was completely opened, and after negotiating clearly with the hundreds of households in public, the officials leading the team called the people to go out of the city.

After leaving the Wengcheng, the line of sight really widened a lot, and everyone's eyes fell directly on the outside of the moat.

Boundless and countless zombies appeared in front of the people leaving the city at this moment, and the timid ones wanted to run back on the spot.

The soldiers guarding the city gate immediately dispatched and drove the fleeing people back.

"Stop, go back!"

"Go back quickly, or you will be punished severely!"

At this moment, the team leader suppressed the fear in his heart and shouted loudly: "Everyone, the monster is separated from us by the moat. Don't be afraid, everyone, hurry up and work!"

"Get the work done earlier, and everyone can go back to the city earlier!"

Only then did the crowd calm down a bit, and then according to the official's instructions, they started to work with a hatchet and a saw.

Today they were sent out of the city with only one main task, which was to chop all the bamboos growing outside the city back into the city.

Seeing the people below busy, the team leader found a place with a slightly higher ground to watch. His deputy was following him, and it was Liu Jinghui.

Still the same sentence, there are flamboyant people everywhere in this world, and there are very few straight people, so Zhao Yanxun will pay special attention after finding out.

These real people do things, and they don't necessarily innovate, but they make people feel at ease.

"Master Liu, all the bamboo in the city has been chopped down, and it won't be long before the outside of the city will be chopped down too!"

"You said that if these people have no work to do, will the palace provide them with food?" the official leading the team asked solemnly.

Liu Jinghui looked resolute, and said in a deep voice: "Master Zhang, His Royal Highness King Yong is sympathetic to the people, and will definitely not let the people starve to death!"

Zhang Zhiqi smiled, and then said: "The bamboo will be cut down, and the food in the city will be eaten up, and tens of thousands of mouths will be lost...the city can last for a while longer!"

Hearing this, Liu Jinghui's expression became ugly. Zhang Zhiqi obviously wanted to say that Prince Yong's Mansion would abandon these people.

"Master Zhang, if you say these words... you are not afraid of being heard by outsiders!" Liu Jinghui said with a cold face.

As long as the news leaks out, Zhang Zhiqi will inevitably be accused of slandering the palace, and he will have to peel off his skin if he doesn't die.

"Brother Liu, you definitely won't talk nonsense!" Zhang Zhiqi smiled and patted Liu Jinghui on the shoulder.

Liu Jinghui's expression was serious: "Master Zhang, don't talk nonsense about these words in the future. His Royal Highness King Yong is in charge of the heavens, but he was sent by God to save the people from the fire and water. Such a virtuous person... is beyond your power and mine." Slander!"

Regarding the various miracles performed by Zhao Yanxun, Liu Jinghui only has one word "obedience" in his heart, so he is also willing to follow Zhao Yanxun.

This also reflects the importance of setting up and shaping the image of the people below.

Force can make people awe-inspiring, but to make the people below wholeheartedly follow, Wei Guangzheng's image is also essential.

"Brother Liu, why are you so serious...it's just a joke, I'm also worried about the people!" Zhang Zhiqi laughed dryly.

Zhang Zhiqi's explanation made Liu Jinghui feel relieved, but he still felt a little uncomfortable.

Realizing that the words were not congenial, Zhang Zhi left slowly. The two of them were doing work today to supervise the people.

"Everyone, move slowly, finish the work early, and the sun will come out in a while!"

The work below was in full swing, and at this moment on the city wall, Wang Cheng was staring into the distance in a daze.

Recently, the zombies outside have not been decreasing, and have maintained a stable state one after another.

The farther away from the city, the lower the density of zombies, but that doesn't mean there are no zombies.

"Lord Qianhu, it is said that in just a few days, the prince will clean up these monsters outside the city!" A hundred households said in Wang Cheng's ear.

Wang Cheng nodded. This matter has been mentioned all the time, but it has not been implemented. In the final analysis, the city is still insufficiently prepared.

During this period of time, the construction of bamboo armor in the city was intensified, and the Gongzheng Office also came up with a new gadget, which seemed to be called a troop carrier, and one vehicle could transport ten soldiers.

In addition, the workplace is still trying its best to build weapons, in order to break out of the city.

"When all the bamboos and trees outside are cut down, it's time to kill them!" Wang Cheng sighed.

Only by killing them can more resources be obtained, and the survival of the people in the city can be maintained. No one can object to this.

Thanks to the presence of Zhao Yanxun, the resources in the city can be integrated to the outside world, otherwise the major households in the city will just sweep the snow in front of their own doors, and eventually be trapped in the city to death.

"My lord, if you really want to fight out, it should be someone from the Department of Bodyguards who will take the lead!" Baihu asked in a low voice.

Everyone is afraid of death, this is human nature, Wang Cheng glanced at his subordinates, and said solemnly: "As long as the king's order arrives, we should do it!"

"So, the training of the soldiers must not be relaxed, even if they die... they have to kill a monster to die worthwhile!"

"Yes, humble officials must strictly supervise them, and never let them embarrass the adults!" Baihu replied with a bow.

Speaking of embarrassment, Wang Cheng said again: "The last time the prince made a surprise inspection, Xu Hong in the West City performed extremely poorly, so he failed with the prince!"

"The army is about to be dispatched recently. I guess the prince may also want to make a surprise inspection. You should pay more attention after you go down, and you must respond as soon as possible when you hear the drum order!"

"Don't worry, my lord, we all take this as a warning and will never do it again!"
