Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Story of Li Tao
Zhang Yuntian sighed, and said to Gu Hongbo again: "I have to trouble you to go and call Li Tao to the city wall, he came from the south, maybe he can know something!" ”
This Li Tao is a member of a survivor team that Zhang Yuntian followed, who once saved his own life, but later during a mission to collect food, the two ran apart, so they were never seen again.
Zhang Yuntian is not an ungrateful person, since Li Tao is kind to himself, then he should also have something in return, if he is a talent, then settle down in a high-paying position, if he is just a mediocre talent, then directly arrange an idle errand, and don't worry about food and clothing.
Half an hour later, surrounded by corpse guards and cronies, Zhang Yuntian climbed the wall of the fifth district.
Today's city wall has been repaired a little higher than when Zhang Yuntian first arrived, a total of five or six stories high, the two ends of the city wall have built guard towers for rest and lookout, the city gate has been welded to death, a posture of fighting to the death with zombies.
The officials of the fifth district have been waiting for a long time except for the condensation incense, and now Zhang Yuntian's words are orders, and no one dares to disobey, although some people are still greedy for the scenery and treatment of the old nobles, and they are secretly dissatisfied with him in their hearts, but they can only hide it in their hearts, but they dare not reveal the slightest bit on the surface, and they are even more diligent in their work, for fear that they will be caught if something goes wrong.
Hu Guangda is different, because his father is an old subordinate of the Leng family, condensing incense and remembering the old feelings, and once had an agreement with Zhang Yuntian to treat the Hu family well, so he still took over the position of assistant defense officer.
And this kid has some right and wrong, because his wine and meat friend Ding Hao was executed by Zhang Yuntian, so he has been obsessed, relying on the Hu family's merit to the Leng family, often saying bad things about Zhang Yuntian in private, and the latter has been busy with government affairs during this period, and has no time to deal with him, not to mention just a few words of gossip, and he can't commit a crime, after all, Zhang Yuntian claims that although he doesn't dare to say that he is a Ming Jun, he is by no means a tyrant, and he will not be stingy enough to kill people with just one or two words of gossip.
When all the officials saw Zhang Yuntian coming, they all bowed and saluted, then retreated to the side, giving up a small open space in the center.
"Li Junhai, circulate the photos brought back by the corpse guard to everyone!"
"Yes, master!"
Li Junhai's status is also rising now, and more than half of the officials in the fifth district have to give him face, so when he looks at the pictures, he picks up and drops them off with both hands to show respect.
"It's... It's..."
When everyone saw the dense corpses and shattered flesh and blood on the ground, they couldn't help but shiver, especially those with dense phobia, who hardly dared to look directly at the picture, and even threw up while holding on to the city wall.
"This is the information obtained this morning, the tank unit of the fourth district has been wiped out by the corpse tide group, although the main corpse tide has not yet arrived, but there is already an unknown number of corpse running groups into Bianhai City, it is only a matter of time before they come to the fifth district, for the shape in front of me, I don't want to deceive everyone, so I took out the information and shared it together, I don't know if you have any good ways to resist zombies!"
Zhang Yuntian looked around, only to see that everyone was stunned for a while, and then began to whisper to each other.
"I thought the mayor had summoned us over for something, it turned out that the corpse tide was coming, so what else could I do, run!"
"Run? To put it lightly, who knows which street the corpse tide has occupied, how wide and how numerous? If you go the wrong way and send it to them, you might as well wait here! If there are many of us, we can take care of them! ”
"Yes, yes, even the tank troops are no match for the corpse tide, and the few cars in our hands will definitely die even worse..."
Everyone was indifferent, and they were all worried, as if the great disaster of Buddha was already coming.
Gu Hongbo frowned, at the moment, these people don't have any eloquence at all, they barely manage the government affairs and make do, and when it is their turn to do something, they all panic, what makes him feel the most strange is Zhang Yuntian's reaction, there is no need to let these people know about the corpse tide, not only do they not have ideas, but they are easy to cause panic, but such a simple truth, Zhang Yuntian should not know, but why does he look like he is nothing?
Zhang Yuntian laughed secretly in his heart, such a result was of course in his calculations, and he shouted again: "What about Li Tao? Where is he? Bring him to me! ”
After a while, two corpse guards brought a black and thin man over, and he recognized Zhang Yuntian at a glance, and said happily: "Yuntian, it turns out that you are not dead!" Oops, look at you're all fat, it looks like life is pretty good here! ”
Zhang Yuntian looked at the man in front of him, he was almost thin and out of shape, although he had shaved his beard, trimmed his hair, and changed into a set of clean clothes, but if he didn't look carefully, it was difficult to identify that this was the strong and strong Li Tao before, "Li Tao?" How did you lose weight like this? ”
Li Tao sighed, "Alas, don't mention it, after I was separated from you, the shelter was surrounded by zombies, and it was three months around it, and the food was quickly eaten up, and then some of them began to play the calculation of the living, at first they only picked the old people, and then they simply tied up all the people who did not want to be complicit with them, and cut meat from different people every day to eat, saying that the flesh of the living is more tender and delicious than that of the dead..."
Li Tao looked straight into the corner with his eyes, as if he had fallen into that dark memory, "Those people seem to be completely crazy, they not only eat human flesh, but also take pleasure in listening to the screams of their victims... They used all kinds of homemade torture instruments to cut the flesh of those who resisted them, and then pricked the wounds with needles to prevent the wounds from healing, and some of the wounds were pierced so that even the bones were exposed..."
Most of the officials present were living under the protection of the Wanshi regime, so they didn't know much about the situation in the last days, and now when they heard Li Tao personally narrate that terrible story, they were only frightened, and they made up their minds that they would rather die than leave the fifth district.
"Later, I and a few young people, while they were sleeping, ran out, they were also eating people, I really couldn't figure out what the difference between people and zombies was, and when I came out and saw the zombies besieging the city, I didn't think it was terrifying, so I killed it instead."
"Later, I traveled to many places, but food has always been a big problem, and I heard that in the Wanshi regime, as long as you are willing to be a slave, you can get food in exchange, so I came! Where you can eat, you don't eat people! ”
Zhang Yuntian patted Li Tao's shoulder sympathetically and comforted: "Don't worry, we have enough food here, as long as you can contribute, not only will you have no worries about food and clothing, but you will also be able to legally marry a wife in the future, and you don't have to hide in Tibet anymore!" ”
