The siege was indeed a mess. With all the important figures leaving the city, strong command was lost. The people besieging the city were just like scattered sand and like headless flies. Some people fled and some left.
Fighting the fire, the situation got out of control.
The only highest-ranking person on the siege is Ding Baozhong. At this time, he mobilized all available soldiers and warriors to put out the fire with all his strength.
If you think about it with your toes, you will know what an explosion and fire in a warehouse means.
The car climbed up the slope, and there was no obstruction at the city gate. There was not a single soldier on the tall city wall, and it was empty.
After Lan Xi drove the car into the city gate, Zhou Hongqiang said: "Go back to the courtyard."
The car turned a corner and drove towards the courtyard. From time to time, you could see some panic-looking people running on the street. Some people were holding buckets and basins, shouting to each other to put out the fire. In such a big disaster,
Faced with a life-threatening situation, they had no choice but to huddle together.
Zhou Zheng couldn't bear it and said, "Father, are we..."
"go home!"
Zhou Hongqiang seemed to turn a blind eye and then closed his eyes.
Who could be more sad and angry than him?
He built the siege with his own hands. The original sadness and hardship were unimaginable to outsiders. He led the survivors, fought day and night, and built the siege from scratch brick by brick. Not only that, but also
Take time to sweep away the alien beasts near the besieged city, kill and expel all the alien beasts that pose a threat to humans.
Countless days and nights of hard work, from building this city to cultivating tens of thousands of acres of farmland, what part of it is not permeated with his hard work?
But now, the appearance of the betrayer has abruptly destroyed all of this.
How could outsiders understand Zhou Hongqiang's heartache? It was bleeding, as if there were countless knives on his body, cutting one after another.
Soon, the car stopped in front of the courtyard.
Zhou Zheng carried Zhou Hongqiang down. The guards in the courtyard were still there. When they saw Zhou Hongqiang covered in blood, they immediately came up to him: "Chief, how are you doing, Chief?" Zhou Hongqiang said softly: "It's okay, you continue your work.
"
Entering the courtyard, Huber received the notice and rushed out.
"Master, you're back, what... is going on?" Seeing Zhou Hongqiang's tragic situation, Uncle Hu's face turned pale with shock, and his heart, which was already in a mess just now, became even more intensified. The siege now seemed completely out of control.
For a moment, he thought that Zhou Hongqiang's return would stabilize the situation, but now he is afraid that it has failed.
Once people outside know that the leader is seriously injured, the situation may get even more out of control.
Zhou Hongqiang smiled lightly and said, "Uncle Hu, I'm fine. You go down first."
The last sentence was said to Lanxi and the maids who came around.
After all the maids had left, Zhou Hongqiang's face suddenly became serious and he said to Uncle Hub: "Uncle Huber, prepare the helicopter."
Upon hearing the news, Huber's face clearly showed a dull look.
Even Zhou Zheng had a look of astonishment on his face. He had no idea that there were helicopters in the besieged city. You must know that in the new world, slow and noisy aircraft like helicopters are completely incompetent in the face of mutated flying alien beasts.
It's a living target and can't fly very far at all.
From Zhou Hongqiang's expression, it seemed that only he and Uncle Hu knew about this helicopter.
"Master, is there really no way to save the situation? We can put out the fire, and the remaining food will be enough to last until the autumn harvest. The food outside the city can be harvested in one month, and the residents have some in their homes.
Surplus grain." Huber said quickly.
Zhou Hongqiang shook his head, "Uncle Hu, you don't understand. The situation is not as simple as you see. Yu Jianzhong and Yan Chuan betrayed the siege. They attracted a huge group of poisonous corpses, and Yan Chuan even delivered a fatal blow.
Destroy the food for the besieged city. We originally had the food for the besieged city, and with the terrain of the besieged city, the poisonous zombie swarm is very powerful, but at least we still have a chance."
After sighing, Zhou Hongqiang showed haggardness on his face: "But now that the food is destroyed, do you think the wheat at the foot of the mountain will still exist under the attack and trampling of the poisonous zombies?"
The food consumption of tens of thousands of people is definitely a terrible figure, and the remaining food cannot provide for so many people.
What Zhou Hongqiang did not say is that the poisonous zombies are far more terrifying than imagined. Through the telescope, you can see some giant high-level poisonous zombies. Zhou Hongqiang has the best experience of their combat power. A high-level poisonous zombie is enough to kill
People have headaches. Their strength is not enough for a siege city more than ten meters high. If they hit it a few times, it will collapse.
In the entire siege, only fifth-level warriors could barely resist them.
But among the poisonous zombies, there are even more terrifying poisonous zombies... How to stop them?
Maybe Yu Jianzhong and Yan Chuan didn't know that the fate of the siege city was doomed from the moment they guided the arrival of the poisonous zombies. In the face of such a powerful force, the siege city was just a small settlement with a limited number of warriors.
There are fewer warriors, so what can be done to stop them?
In their plan, it was enough to attract a small number of ordinary poisonous zombies to lure Zhou Hongqiang out of the city.
I really didn't expect that what they caused would be destruction.
Uncle Huber didn't say anything more. He gritted his teeth and said, "Sir, I'll go right away. We can take off in half an hour at most."
Zhou Hongqiang closed his eyes and nodded, sighing heavily.
Zhou Zheng seemed to realize something, his eyes widened: "Father, you... you want to give up the siege? But... but the tens of thousands of residents here, what... what should they do?" Zhou Zheng, who was just an otaku in his previous life, can deal with
The enemy was determined, but when faced with such a big decision, he still felt dizzy.
"So what if you don't give up? Will you be destroyed along with it?"
With a tone of endless vicissitudes, Zhou Hongqiang seemed to have aged ten years suddenly, "You should also prepare."
…
In the room, Zhou Zheng was sitting blankly in front of the balcony, his head was in chaos, and all the strength in his body seemed to have been drained.
Zhou Zheng, who was just an otaku in his previous life, suddenly faced this kind of situation involving tens of thousands of people and couldn't accept it at all.
The huge impact challenged his bottom line on human nature and was more like a test.
This is a disaster that could have been avoided, a catastrophe created by man. Can a person's heart of power really make them ignore all life? The madness of Yu Jianzhong and Yan Chuan is a huge disaster.
Driven by ambition, especially Yan Chuan's final madness, is the real root cause of all this.
"I shouldn't have killed Yan Baixun."
Endless regret, Zhou Zheng knew that this was the straw that broke Yan Chuan's madness. If Yan Baixun was still alive, or Yan Chuan would not have been so crazy, he detonated the explosives in the besieged city.
The food is still there, and there is still hope for the siege.
Now that the food has been blown up, the impact on the residents of the besieged city is huge and despairing. Once the poisonous corpses come to the city and have lost their spirit of resistance, how can people withstand it?
There was a knock at the door, and a maid opened the door and came in, carrying a glass of boiling water.
"Master, drink water."
The maid put down the water, and Zhou Zheng moved his dry throat and picked up the water glass.
Zhou Zheng was still in a state of worry when he suddenly felt an extremely strong sleepiness attack his head. No matter how much he persisted in cleaning up, the sudden and intense sleepiness made him irresistible. When he stood up, he staggered and rushed forward in a few steps.
Go to bed and fall into sleep.
downstairs.
Zhou Hongqiang murmured: "Zheng'er, don't blame your father."
What he was playing with was a bottle of sleeping pills. The amount he put in Zhou Zheng's cup would only allow him to have a good sleep without causing any harm.
Throwing the bottle into the trash can, Zhou Hongqiang stood up with his crutches and limped out of the room.
