The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 332 Zombie Movement
Time has entered February, the weather has gradually warmed up, and spring is gradually returning to the earth.

At the southernmost tip of Yuan County, the east and west mountains meet again, and this is the main road leading to Gu Meng's mansion.

Yang Qing led his men, who were stationed here at the moment. He came on the first day of February, and this was his last shift in Yuan County.

According to the latest military order delivered by the Privy Council, he will return to Yuan County on February [-]th, and return to Yuanyang after completing the mission.

The latest batch of recruits has already started, and this time he will be promoted to a hundred households.

At this moment, Yang Qing came to a forest with four soldiers.

Their tasks, in addition to daily garrison vehicles, also have daily patrol tasks.

And every patrol mission must be led by the general flag himself, and the most elite personnel must be selected from his subordinates.

It is necessary to ensure concealment when going out, so there are only five people coming out every time, not too many and not too few.

They have been on patrol for an hour, and they are nearly ten miles away from the military vehicle, and it is time to return.

Just listen to Yang Qing said: "Eat first, then go back!"

So everyone found a tree, it was safe to eat on the tree, and they could sit down and have a rest along the way.

After climbing to a height of two feet, Yang Qing sat on a tree branch and untied the water bottle from his waist.

What they drink is cold boiled water, so the water in the kettle has to be used sparingly.

After drinking water to relieve fatigue, Yang Qing took out two pieces of bread from the bag behind his back.

The place they were in had already entered the range of Gu Meng's mansion, and there were scattered zombies around them.

So they have to be more cautious. A single zombie is not scary, but if it attracts ten or twenty, it will be really troublesome.

At this time, the surrounding area is extremely quiet, and the sound of birds can be heard from time to time.

"After eating, rest for half an hour and hurry back!" Yang Qing ordered the soldiers under his hand.

Time passed slowly, they were gradually recovering their physical strength, and it was time to hurry again.

At this moment, the soldiers who climbed the three-foot-high tree went to issue a warning action.

Everyone immediately became vigilant and drew their sabers from behind.

"What's going on?" Yang Qing asked.

"My lord, look to the west... there are monsters!"

Looking in the direction pointed by the subordinates, everyone saw a group of zombies appearing in the distance, the number was nearly two hundred.

"It's a bit weird!" Yang Qing whispered.

Generally speaking, zombies are scattered scattered, and the appearance of a group of corpses is bound to be accompanied by chaos. Most of the zombies inside the group of corpses will run wildly.

But the group I see now is moving quietly, it can be said that they are extremely docile.

Something abnormal must be weird, Yang Qing didn't dare to act rashly at this moment, so he ordered all the soldiers to stay on the tree to observe.

At this moment, the group of corpses is about 400 meters away from them. Because there are relatively many trees around them, they have not been found for the time being.

But this also caused Yang Qing and the others' sight to be obstructed, making it impossible to see the whole group of corpses clearly.

Yang Qing continued to climb the tree, hoping to have a better career by standing tall. At this time, a soldier reminded: "My lord, these monsters... stopped by the river!"

It was already common sense that zombies were afraid of water.

Zombies falling into the water will die in less than five seconds. This is the result of many experiments by the imperial doctors of the Wangfu Liangzhi Institute.

This river is only more than ten feet wide and half a person's depth deep. There used to be a bridge, but it was destroyed by Yang Qing and others long ago, in order to prevent the passage of zombies.

At the moment they are on the south bank, and the zombies are also on the south bank.

"For safety, let's retreat to the north bank first!" Yang Qing said in a deep voice.

In this regard, everyone has no opinion, after all, life is the most important thing.

So everyone slowly descended the tree, and they slowed down their movements as much as possible to ensure that they did not make too much noise.

But the sound cannot be completely cut off. For example, the equipment carried on the body will inevitably collide with each other.

This is not a big problem in normal times, but what they are encountering now is a group of corpses.

"Ouch..."

Hearing the movement, the group of corpses who had seemed docile just now let out a roar.

Being discovered, Yang Qing immediately urged: "Go, go!"

Everyone didn't care about it, and slid directly to the ground one by one, turned around and ran towards the river.

The distance between them and the river is about 100 meters, which is not a long distance, but it seems far away at this moment.

"Hurry up... Hurry up!" Yang Qing shouted.

The zombies ran very fast, and they didn't rush in one go, but divided into three directions to attack.

The distance between the two sides was getting closer. Although Yang Qing could run faster, the soldiers under him could not.

Fortunately, they were only 100 meters away from the river, and when they were 50 meters away from the nearest zombie, the last soldier jumped into the river.

The river was only more than a foot wide, and they swam across the river after a few thumps, and then quickly went ashore to enter defensive mode.

Yang Qing led his men back more than ten meters, and at this moment all the zombies had rushed to the river.

Fortunately, the river played a role in dividing them. No matter how loudly these zombies screamed, they never dared to cross the river.

wheeeeeeeeeeeee...

The soldiers gasped heavily. They hadn't experienced such danger for a long time, and it felt like they were being pardoned at this moment.

But looking at the hundreds of grinning zombies on the other side of the river, they still felt their scalps go numb.

Following the movement of the zombies on the other side of the river, the wandering zombies are also gathering at this moment.

This is not a good thing, because there are also zombies rushing towards them on the north bank where Yang Qing is.

"Retreat...retreat into the woods!"

There are also forests on the north bank, and only when they entered the forest and climbed the trees could they really get down safely.

When Yang Qing gave the order, the soldiers immediately turned around and fled towards the forest without any hesitation.

At the last moment of escaping, Yang Qing turned around and took one last look at the corpses on the other side.

It was this glance that made him see an even stranger scene.

I saw a tall zombie holding a long log and throwing it to both sides of the river.

"What... what is this doing? Can monsters move logs?"

Yang Qing didn't have time to think too much, the zombies on the north bank were approaching, he had to flee into the woods quickly.

Although he has already been upgraded, but the disparity in strength is too great, it is extremely unwise to fight recklessly.

Soon, they fled into the woods together, and then quickly climbed up the canopy.

"My lord, that monster is still throwing logs into the water. Could it be that they want to cross the river?"

Hearing the words of the soldiers under him, Yang Qing was startled. Has this fucking monster grown a brain?
Seeing the zombies gathering around, although Yang Qing wanted to continue to observe, he also knew that saving his life was the most important thing right now.

"Go, retreat!" Yang Qing ordered immediately.

If they get trapped here, they will probably end up trapped dead, and these anomalies cannot be transmitted back.

It can be said that all the orders Yang Qing gave just now are basically correct.

So everyone took out their tools and walked through the canopy to avoid encountering zombies.

After escaping for several hundred meters, Yang Qing and his party came down from the tree and returned to the north at the fastest speed.
