"Righteous man, do not go any further."

Someone dragged the advancing team, but it was not a ruffian, nor a demon or a monster, but the local old man and Li Zheng Baojia.

"Why?"

Zhou Zheng hopes that the team can continue to move forward, and every minute and second they stop, someone may encounter something wrong.

"When you get here, you can't necessarily find a living person in ten households, and there is no point in going any further."

"Overcoming obstacles all the way, you have done your best to be benevolent, and there is no need to risk your life again."

"There are more and more people in the group, and there are more and more attacks, and then go inside...... I'm afraid it's not good. ”

"Righteous man, you are brave and invincible, but we are all ordinary people, and we really can't resist it."

"Zhang San died in front of his own children, it's too miserable, if you don't retreat, I'm afraid there will be a second Zhang San, a third Zhang San, how can you ......bear it, righteous man?"

The local elders, more than a dozen people, surrounded Zhou Zheng inside and out. Their demand was simple and unified, and that was to retreat, to retreat immediately, and not to care about those further north.

Facing this group of elders, Zhou Zheng's head was about to explode. This is not because the words of the elders are wrong, on the contrary, Zhou Zheng feels distressed and helpless, precisely because what these elders said is all right.

The situation in Jinshui Town is like they said, the further north they go, the worse it gets, and when they get to where they are now, it is indeed ten rooms and nine empty. Send people to search, enter ten houses, and find out how many old people or children are still alive. Because of their weak yang energy, they were ignored by the undead and were spared. But although they did not die, most of them were either stupid or suffered minor injuries, which was a complete drag on the march of the team.

There is no doubt that if we go further north, the survival rate of the local population will drop even further. Rich areas have the lowest population density, while slum areas have the highest population density. If calculated according to population density, the area that Zhou Zheng has not visited has a population of about 5,000.

Out of a population of 5,000, if there are five households, there are 1,000 households over there. In each of these thousand households, if there is one living mouth in each household, it is a thousand; Even if there is one living mouth for every ten households, it is still a hundred!

Behind Zhou Zheng, there were a thousand people who were rescued by him and protected by him.

In front of Zhou Zheng, there are a hundred people struggling to survive and waiting for a miracle.

Now, these thousand people have put forward their request to Zhou Zheng - let's go, retreat quickly, for our safety, don't pay attention to those hundred people.

There was no doubt that Zhou Zheng was a fool, and if he wasn't, he wouldn't have had to go back to Jinshui at all. But he came back, day and night, and he was a fool. This fool didn't want to give up on anyone, and he believed he was capable of doing it all. After all, the strongest undead are gone, and the rest ...... Zhou Zheng took a heavy breath, he was very tired, so tired that he was even a little trance. But as long as he clenched the knife and clenched it again, those low-level undead were no match for him at all.

"I can, if I try harder, I can save more people." That's exactly what Zhou thought.

But it is clear that most of the people in this team have long lost the will to continue, and they want to withdraw. And the reasons are so legitimate, so reasonable, I can't find a single fault.

As for that Zhang San, it's even funnier to say, it's like black humor.

In fact, when the number of people in the team reached 300 people, there was already a murmur, faintly challenging Zhou Zheng's management rights. This is very easy to understand, after all, when there are few people, everyone has no backbone, so naturally they can only listen to Zhou Zheng's words. But as the number of people gradually increased, there were two families and three families...... The same surname, the same clan, and the same clan gathered together, forming a small circle around the Taigong clan elder and Baojiali Zheng.

These small circles have become the background and backing in the hearts of many people. Before the circle was formed, although some people had other thoughts, they were afraid that they would speak lightly, so they did not dare to say it clearly. When the circle is formed, they have no scruples. Anyway, no matter whether it is right or wrong, as long as you open your mouth, there will be a tsunami-like support.

What's more, there are not so many wrongs and wrongs in this world.

As for what kind of thoughts...... To put it bluntly, their demands at that time were exactly the same as at this moment, in short, the wind was blowing.

This murmur reached a small climax when the party encountered the first wave of undead clusters.

"It's too dangerous to go any further."

"Retreat!"

"Righteous man, withdraw quickly, or you will die."

The elders of the Taigong clan and the Baojia Li Zheng jumped out, praised and depreciated each other, and criticized Zhou Zheng. They thought that the three hundred lives on their side were something that Zhou Zheng, a hero, did not dare to ignore, but they didn't expect Zhou Zheng to ignore them at all.

Just kidding, there are not just 300 people waiting to be rescued. Zhou Zheng answered this question very succinctly: "Those who have opinions can go south on their own, I still have more people to save now." "Then there was no one to speak.

This group of people is not stupid, they have listened to Zhou Zheng speak, and then they have seen it with their own eyes, which confirms Zhou Zheng's statement - the more people get together, the more obvious the yang energy will be, and the easier it will be to become an attack by the undead cluster.

If these families escaped from Zhou Zheng's protection and rushed to Pingjiang Mansion on their own...... They love to laugh, but their luck is not good.

As a result, the small noise was temporarily silent, the small turmoil temporarily subsided, and the rescue team once again stepped forward.

This Zhang San is the person rescued by the rescue team after the first rebellion.

When they met for the first time, Zhou Zheng's people rushed to follow the crying, and they saw five or six undead, blocking the family in the alley. The family naturally refused to sit still, and the head of the family was a strong man, who copied an axe in his hand and chopped left and right. Although the wounds on his body were gradually increasing, for a while, the skeleton was helpless to deal with him.

Zhou Zheng was deeply impressed by Zhang San's bravery and robustness.

But soon Zhou Zheng discovered that a brave and sturdy person is not necessarily a positive asset - regarding retreat, Zhang San is the one who makes the most trouble.

Perhaps having personally experienced the despair of being surrounded by the undead, Zhang San had no interest in continuing the rescue at all, and all his ideas added up were "retreat and retreat again".

"The person in front is fate, isn't the life of our big guy fate?"

This was Zhang San's mantra, and he would take it out and shout it almost every time the team increased by a hundred people. And what is very fatal is that Zhang Sansheng is tall and powerful, with a solemn appearance, and he is very popular.

400 people...... Five hundred...... 600 people...... Seven hundred......

At first, Zhou Zheng always responded simply - there were many people in front of him, and he could go back on his own if he was not satisfied. But as time went on, and the size of the team grew, the legitimacy of this reason became weaker and weaker.

On the other hand, Zhang San's reputation is getting higher and higher, and more and more people are shouting that sentence as Zhang San shouts - the people in front are fate, isn't the life of our big guy?

Zhou Zheng didn't know if this was accurate, but he vaguely felt that the clan elders were supporting Zhang San to make trouble. And Zhang San, a man who sells coolies for a living, also enjoys the feeling of being an opinion leader. The logic of his speech is becoming more and more rigorous, and his speech skills are also improving rapidly, the body language and facial expressions, the trembling of the body and the gaze of the eyes with every blow...... If it weren't for Zhou Zheng knowing that everything tonight happened suddenly, he would even suspect that Zhang San was an actor specially found by someone.

When the number of people in the team reached 900, Zhou Zheng's control over the team had dropped to a level he had never imagined. He even felt that there was irrepressible hatred hidden in the eyes of some people looking at him.

Sometimes Zhang San would also look at him, that kind of look, Zhou Zheng didn't know how to describe it, full of pity and disdain.

Zhou Zheng didn't speak, but he faintly thought that if he wasn't the biggest force of this group of people, then "Fire and Wang Lun" might be staged in advance. The thought had been in his mind for no more than three seconds, not because it didn't make sense, but because he didn't want to think about it anymore.

The minds of the people are retreating, but the team is still advancing. As a result, just when the number of people in the team was about to reach thousands, a large wave of undead who had come after Yang Qi launched a surprise attack on the team.

The quality of this group of undead is not too high, there are all kinds of kinds, and there are only a few of them who can torture and kill ordinary people one-on-one, and as soon as the war started, they were targeted by Zhou Zheng and the soldiers, and they did not let them attack the crowd.

But in such a situation, when Zhou Zheng solved those dangerous factors and returned to the reinforcement of the army, he found that Zhang San was dead......

Although there were some minor injuries on his body, there was no doubt that Zhang San was still the most burly and strong one in the large army. Unexpectedly, however, he died—by a pair of skeletal skeletons, which I don't know if they were cats or minks, but anyway the smallest of them, and they bit off their throats and became the first victim of the whole group.

"I guess his spirit is not focused enough, otherwise a skeleton of this level can be slapped away with a slap and shattered with a kick. Alas, he was too careless, and he didn't know what he was thinking about when he was at the moment of life and death. "Brother Xiao Ma has also dealt with several skeletons along the way, and he is barely half a professional.

Zhou Zheng felt very sad about this. Although he didn't like Zhang San's words and deeds, he didn't want Zhang San to die.

However, before Zhou Zheng could recover from this sad emotion, something even more shocking happened to him - Zhang San's wife found a broken brick out of nowhere and slapped it on the back of Zhou Zheng's head.

"You brute, you killed my father-in-law, I want you to pay for his life."

Even with this kind of strength, it wasn't even enough to tickle Zhou Zheng...... Even Zhang San's wife was immediately set up by Brother Xiaoma......

Even though there were so many of them, Zhou Zheng was still stunned. When he came back to his senses, he was surrounded by the old man and the others, and then there was the scene at the beginning-

"Righteous man, do not go any further."

Someone dragged the advancing team, but it was not a ruffian, nor a demon or a monster, but the local old man and Li Zheng Baojia.

"Why?"

Zhou Zheng hopes that the team can continue to move forward, and every minute and second they stop, someone may encounter something wrong.

"When you get here, you can't necessarily find a living person in ten households, and there is no point in going any further."

"Overcoming obstacles all the way, you have done your best to be benevolent, and there is no need to risk your life again."

"There are more and more people in the group, and there are more and more attacks, and then go inside...... I'm afraid it's not good. ”

"Righteous man, you are brave and invincible, but we are all ordinary people, and we really can't resist it."

"Zhang San died in front of his own children, it's too miserable, if you don't retreat, I'm afraid there will be a second Zhang San, a third Zhang San, how can you ......bear it, righteous man?"

The local elders, more than a dozen people, surrounded Zhou Zheng inside and out. Their demand was simple and unified, and that was to retreat, to retreat immediately, and not to care about those further north.

Facing this group of elders, Zhou Zheng's head was about to explode. This is not because the words of the elders are wrong, on the contrary, Zhou Zheng feels distressed and helpless, precisely because what these elders said is all right.

In addition, Zhou Zheng faintly heard Zhang San's wife constantly cursing, saying something like "If I turn back earlier, my father-in-law will never die" and "He knows that everyone obeys my father-in-law and does not obey him, so he deliberately did not support the army and killed my father-in-law".

In terms of Zhou Zheng's five senses, if he wants to, he listens with his heart, and he can hear the words of anyone present clearly. It's just that if he doesn't listen attentively, his five senses are not much different from ordinary people.

At this time, surrounded by the elders and chattering, Zhou Zheng should not have heard the words of Zhang San's wife. But he couldn't tell himself, whether he minded or not, anyway, the result was in front of him, and he vaguely heard Zhang San's wife's scolding clearly.

and Zhang San's daughter's resentful gaze, like the moonlight shining on the blade, cold and distinct, he could also notice it as soon as he looked up.

"Righteous man, time is running out, don't you don't stop talking."

"Yes, righteous man, you have an idea."

"Righteous ......"

"Righteous ......"

"Righteous ......"

"Righteous ......"

"Righteous ......"

"Righteous ......"

"Righteous ......"

"Righteous ......"

"Righteous ......"

"Don't make any noise!" Zhou Zheng shouted, then lowered his head, and said helplessly: "We'll withdraw now." ”

All this surprised everyone present, the respected old man, and the eight-sided and exquisite Baojia Lizheng all took a few steps back, looked at Zhou Zheng with strange eyes, spread their hands, and said in unison: "We didn't say anything." ”
