The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 935 Zombie Chaos 4
On the fifth day of April, Lingqing Prefecture has been closed for five days.

During these ten days, the city was not peaceful, and there were 26 zombie mutations.

Fortunately, the officials and gentry were well prepared. They dealt with the mutated zombies very quickly according to the imperial decree, so that the "disease" did not spread in the city.

At this moment, Li Zhifu was standing on the city wall, staring at the zombies outside the city in a daze.

Because there were living people in Lingqing Mansion, the popularity attracted a large number of zombies and surrounded the city.

The contact with the outside of the city has been cut off. They waited for ten days in a row, but they haven't seen the rescue of the government and army, which makes the city even more desperate.

With the passage of time, in addition to the possible outbreak of the zombie crisis, new problems have also emerged one after another.

Some people wanted to go out of the city to find their family members, and they clashed with the city guards; the martial law in the city made many people lose their livelihoods, resulting in frequent cases in the city; the government was not strong enough, so it had to rely on the help of the major families, but there were many conflicts among these families...

The past ten days have made Li Zhifu extremely exhausted, and all this is just the beginning, and he himself only knows this.

"Futai, it's not good..."

Hearing this, Li Zhifu's heart tightened, he was really afraid of hearing bad news again.

"Futai..."

Turning around, looking at the head catcher who stumbled over, Li Zhifu frowned and said, "What's the matter?"

"Master Zhang... was beaten to death by the rioters!"

This news was particularly shocking to Li Zhifu, and it could be called the worst incident after the city was closed.

Master Zhang of the governor's yamen, a proper official of the court, was beaten to death by a group of rioters, which was a great blow to the dignity of the government.

This matter must be dealt with strictly, otherwise the chaos will inevitably spread, and the situation will really get out of control.

Li Zhifu walked down the steps, suppressed his anger and asked, "What's going on?"

"Master Zhang inspected the official warehouse, and was stopped by the mob to ask for food. Master Zhang refused, so..."

There is not much food in the official warehouse, but there are tens of thousands of mouths in the city. Once the people succeed in asking for food, more people will come to ask for food, and then there will be big troubles.

Thinking of this, Li Zhifu, who originally planned to go to Guancang, changed his mind at this moment.

"To solve these mobs, we still have to rely on the big households in the city!"

The mob has killed all the officials, and when such a big event happened, the master of Futai was still stunned... At this moment, the head catcher is also very anxious.

"Go... spread the word to all the yamen servants to be on strict alert, and then send someone to invite members of Chen Wang's house on Wednesday!"

"Yes, little one, let's do it!"

Li Zhifu acted calmly, which reassured Xu Butou, who was also flustered before.

In fact, the major families in the city had also heard the news that the mob had killed officials, and they were equally panicked at the moment.

After all, if the mob rebelled, it would be difficult for them to save their lives.

So when the news came from the magistrate, they were very active. In addition to Chen Wang's house on Wednesday, a group of people went to the house, and the lobby of the government office was overcrowded for a while.

These officials and gentry, although they usually count pennies and pennies, kept a clear mind at this moment, quickly unified their opinions, and made a decision to suppress the "mob".

They didn't dare to waste time, and they had to suppress the "mob" with thunder before they united.

After the meeting was over, staff was quickly arranged, and many people were mobilized.

Of course, the people who killed the officials all came out after hiding for a long time without seeing the officials arresting them.

"If we continue to starve like this, we will starve to death before the government comes to arrest us..."

Looking to the left and right, the bearded man said: "You also have a part to kill the officials, this time to rob the big family...will you go?"

Beating an official to death is a capital crime, and soon someone weighed the pros and cons and stood beside the bearded man.

Soon, dozens of people gathered together and walked towards a nearby big family.

Shouting the slogan "ask for food to survive", their team is growing, and soon there are more than 200 people, most of whom are bold and young.

The feeling of starvation is not good, since when someone takes the lead, there will naturally be countless people following.

Ten minutes later, the family they were targeting was destroyed by misfortune, and only the family was left crying.

There was food to grab, and more people were attracted. There were about seven or eight hundred people in the mansion that was robbed.

Seeing so many people coming and going, the bearded man looked thoughtful and his eyes turned bright.

"It's not good, the officers and soldiers are here..."

"Run away..."

"Run away..."

The rioters are the rioters. When they heard that the officers and soldiers were coming, their first thought was to flee.

"Official army? The city is under siege, where is the official army coming?" The bearded man shouted loudly.

"Everyone, you robbed food and killed people. You are mob rebels. Do you think you can escape?"

Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

Right now people are in a state of panic, being so frightened by the bearded man, everyone is terrified.

"You will be beheaded if you are caught by the officers and soldiers. Even if you escape, with the little food you robbed, is it enough for you to survive for a few days?"

After hearing a lot from the bearded man, someone couldn't help asking: "Then what do you think should be done?"

Looking at everyone, the bearded man said coldly: "If you want to survive, there is only one way, drive away the officers and soldiers and continue to grab food!"

Immediately someone said: "With us alone, how can we defeat the officers and soldiers?"

Some people fled while they were talking, and those who remained were the bold ones. They had already given birth to the idea of ​​fighting for the bearded man's proposal.

"Official army? It's just the servants in the yamen. How many people can they have? How many people do we have?"

"Brothers, it's still the same sentence... If we don't resist, we will only die sooner or later!"

Lifting the pig-killing knife in his hand, the bearded man shouted louder: "It belongs to men, so fight it out with me, and the food that wins the government and the big households belongs to our brothers!"

The truth is actually very simple, most people present can figure it out, if you don't want to die, you can only go.

"Damn it, fight with them..."

"Anyway, I'm dead, I'll go with you!"

For a while, the crowd was excited, and everyone was looking for a guy.

"I'll call more people..."

Ten minutes later, when people from the yamen and the gentry arrived, they fell directly into an ambush by the bearded man.

The bearded man gathered more than 500 people, waiting for work and with the blessing of the same enemy, he quickly beat the temporarily formed "official army" and fled.

Of course, the first batch of "official soldiers" who came here were not the full strength of the officials and gentry, but the first confrontation really hurt them.

"The mob rioted. There are only five or six hundred people. If we don't suppress it as soon as possible... I'm afraid it will spread rapidly, and it will be difficult to suppress it by then!"

At this moment, all the gentry were inexplicably terrified.

"My family can have 200 people..."

"My family can pay one hundred and fifty..."

"I can go out of my house..."

At this time, the gentry did not dare to hold back any more, so they all mobilized.

"There are too many people and few are just one of them, and you have to have the courage to fight!"

"You have to tell your subordinates that the mob commits murder, arson, rape, and looting. If they don't want their families to be ruined, they must desperately..."

Li Zhifu looked serious, he didn't want to gather a bunch of mobs and give someone's head for nothing.

It's just because he also knows that if he loses again this time, the government's prestige will really be discredited, and the situation in the city will be completely out of control at that time.
