People go in in groups of 6, so although the inspection time may be longer, it will be much safer. Every time you push open a house, you can find zombies or corpses. For these zombies, the soldiers are familiar with smashing their heads, and then arrange for people to gather these zombies or corpses in the open space, waiting for a while to be burned.

While cleaning up the zombies, they also found a lot of supplies. The rural areas of China have the habit of stockpiling grain, especially in winter, although there are not many types of grain reserves, but the quantity is absolutely enough. Almost every house has a cellar, and there is a lot of grain in the kitchen. Bacon, preserved fish, pickles, Chinese cabbage, flour, wheat are the most common. The soldiers did not loot, and when they found a grain storage point, they would mark it there and arrange for it to be collected after the villages were all checked and safe.

Walking around the village, they found that most of the zombies were elderly, few young and middle-aged, and only a few children. It is not surprising that this is rarely the case for young men. There are many so-called left-behind villages in China. After years of land expropriation policies or other reasons, young people have gone out to work. Those who remained in the village were only elderly people and children. When the end broke out, it was New Year's Day, and although this festival is also a holiday in China, it is a fairly important festival. But because the Spring Festival is approaching, there are basically not many people who go out to work at this time. They generally wait until the Spring Festival to return. Therefore, every year during the Spring Festival, there will be a wave of population movement in China that shocks the world. Think about it, the vast army of hundreds of millions of people has moved around China in just a few days. Although China has a huge land area, it can't support a more impressive number of people. Thankfully, the end of the day happened on New Year's Day, not the Spring Festival. Otherwise, China's population loss will be even greater.

Fall back into the village. They came all the way in without much dangerous resistance. In addition to the zombies, they also encountered several zombie dogs and zombie cats, but under the suppression of everyone, there were no casualties. Several pairs of people gathered outside the ancestral hall in the center of the village.

There is another characteristic of rural China, that is, basically the people of a village trace their origins to the same ancestor. Therefore, there will be an ancestral hall in the village, which enshrines the tablets of the ancestors of the past generations and places the genealogy.

In the whole village, the door of the ancestral hall was closed and closed from the inside. So when the rest of the people arrived here, they just stayed outside, carefully watching the surroundings. They have already reported the situation through the intercom. After a while, Yu Zhoushan also came in with people. About 10 meters away from the ancestral hall, they could already smell the decomposing corpse. There is something in the ancestral hall for sure. There are quite a few that can emit such a strong taste.

Signaling a soldier to make a sound, there was no movement in the ancestral hall. If it's a zombie or a zombie beast, when they hear a sound outside, they will yell and scratch the door inside, even if the door is closed. If it is a person, then after hearing the news that it is the PLA outside, there should also be an answer. But after waiting for a while, there was still no movement inside.

Yu Zhoushan looked at his watch, it was already 4 o'clock, and in another quarter of an hour, it would start to dark, and in a maximum of 30 minutes, it would change from day to night. They had to collect the supplies they had just found in 30 minutes and set up accommodation for 100 people. There wasn't much time left for them to settle the ancestral hall.

Yu Zhoushan quickly made a decision. Since there's no reaction inside, let's attack hard. Signal the soldiers to attack, and the others break behind. After a small explosion, the door to the ancestral hall was blown open. The large main hall that catches your eye is the large main hall. Dozens of tablets are enshrined on the high platform. The tablet in the middle is almost a meter high, and it slowly shrinks to the sides, getting smaller the one in front of it. There are also incense stands in front of and on both sides of the high platform, on which the candles and sandalwood have burned to the end. The fruits and three animals that were originally placed on the table of the Eight Immortals had nothing but empty plates.

One by one, they cautiously walked into the ancestral hall, but there was still nothing. The ancestral hall was locked from the inside, so there must have been someone in the ancestral hall at that time. But what about people? It was empty, except for the silent tablets, and there was silence. There wasn't even a trace of blood on the ground. The more you walk in, the stronger the stench becomes. Finally, Yu Zhoushan stopped at the table of the Eight Immortals.

The flavor here is the strongest. The table was clean, not that there was no dust, but that there was no more on it. Underneath the table of the Eight Immortals is a bright yellow carpet, which has been used for many years, and now it is a dull earthy yellow. The stench came from under the carpet.

A few soldiers carried away the table and lifted the carpet. A manhole-like lid appeared, with a copper handle on top. The lid is about a meter in diameter. A soldier tried to pull the handle, but couldn't. Three more soldiers went up, and four of them "hey" at the same time, and the lid was lifted. At the moment when the lid was lifted, a lot of flies the size of green beans flew up from below, and it was disturbing to "buzz" for a while. Seeing what was happening under the manhole cover, everyone fell silent. Yu Zhoushan took a deep breath, slowly took off his military hat, and saluted under the manhole cover. The other soldiers also took off their hats and saluted.

Guan Jie could see it clearly from the side. Underneath the manhole cover is a small space, very small, estimated to be 7 or 8 square meters. It was crowded with the corpses of children, and judging by the heads, there were no less than 50 of them. It is not surprising that a 7-seater van can squeeze 40 children, which is a phenomenon unique to China. The children are layered on top of each other, and many of them are you holding me and I stepping on yours. The children are dead. Maybe starved to death, maybe suffocated, but, all died.

The soldiers cleaned up their bodies one by one, the youngest was even a few months old, and the oldest was no more than eleven or twelve years old. Each child's expression was painful. Imagine the pain they suffered before they died. A total of 52 children. 52 stars that should not fall.

After checking that the ancestral hall was not in danger, Yu Zhoushan motioned for all the soldiers to assemble. Including the corpses that were piled up before, plus these children, a hill. There was no time to gather wood, so they poured some diesel fuel on the corpse and lit it on fire. The crowd observed a minute of silence. After the silence, they couldn't wait for the fire to be extinguished and hurried to resettle. This is the end times. Human life is not life. Today, they were able to cremate the victims. And when they die in battle another day, who will bury them? It's sad, but it's realistic. After the grief, you have to pick up your spirits, because the war is not over.
