Chapter 569: The Lives of the Survivors

"My lord, there is a fire outside the gates of the city, I wonder if anyone has discovered Storm's End......" The warrior in armor could finish his words when he was interrupted by the adults in his mouth.

"Don't pin your hopes on outside forces, don't forget that we are also one of the infected, let's think about what to eat tomorrow first, we are running out of food." A tall figure with a peculiar triangular helmet stood on the bell tower and looked at the fire in the distance: "What's more, there is a greater possibility that those undead accidentally caused the fire." ”

Guo Yunfeng saw very clearly that the fire in the distance was definitely deliberately arson, and the fire would rise so quickly, but he had to say so.

Relying on the old military camp as a base, he has been relying on the strong force of himself and the new steel walker infantry regiment to barely maintain the most basic order with iron-blooded means.

Once the people below grasp the hope of the outside world, even if the hope is slim, it will collapse the barely maintained order in the camp.

"Got it, sir." The warrior's face was full of tiredness, and his voice was even more hoarse: "James's gang once again raised the idea of eating the corpses of the rebels, and this time, quite a few Steelwalkers are also on their side. ”

"It's just a clown, don't worry about James's rough guys." Guo Yunfeng shook his head: "They just want to have a full meal, you tell James, if he bothers me with this matter again, I will let him be the first to put it on the table." ”

The warrior was silent for a moment, and silently climbed down the ladder of the bell tower.

In the months that had passed, the entire Storm's End had witnessed the brutality of the Seris, and every word he had said had been fulfilled, as evidenced by the countless corpses that had been built into the walls.

The roars that echoed in the darkness of the night were uneasy for the survivors of Storm's End.

The barracks that originally belonged to the Steelwalkers are now the base camp of the survivors, and before the disaster struck, Guo Yunfeng gathered more than 3,000 miners and their families.

Storm's End was never short of armor and weapons, and the miners were qualified soldiers with a little training, so a large number of living forces brought with them an abundance of labor and military power.

Although the courage of most mortals in the face of the undead was like snow in June, they still persevered thanks to the bravery of a few professionals and Guo Yunfeng himself.

Not only that, under the command of Guo Yunfeng, the survivors also took the risk to recover half of the noble district and opened the passage to the trade area.

Although more than 300 people were torn to shreds or joined the ranks of the undead in the process, more survivors hiding in the corners were gathered by Guo Yunfeng under his command.

Eventually, the total population of nearly 3,500 people plunged the entire survivor camp into a state of semi-famine.

Adult men, numbering more than 1,800 people, were organized by Guo Yunfeng, and whether the other party was once a teacher, a merchant, a soldier, or a nobleman, they had to take up arms and fight for their own survival and that of the camp.

The initial number was 800 people, and the new steel walkers, composed of miners, were staunch supporters of Guo Yunfeng, and at the beginning of the disaster, Guo Yunfeng took various measures to keep most of them alive and able to face the tragedy in front of them.

Every day, when the sun rises, a team of scouts who have been drawn lots in advance will silently step out of the barricades and face the streets of the undead in silence, amid the prayers of the survivors.

The team of fifty people would quickly disperse, moving like rats through the trade area, up and down the sewers, in the alleys, and on the rooftops of houses, looking for anything of value.

Food, clean water, magical materials for mages and alchemists, armor and weapons, and anything they find useful are the goals of the survivors.

The mortality rate of the scouts was as high as forty percent, and less than thirty people a day were able to return to the camp before nightfall, but they could enjoy full food, fresh water, and even stop participating in collective labor for the next three days.

Once the presence of supplies is confirmed, a death squad of more than 300 people will work to advance the barricades to the nearest position and deliver them back to the camp.

In the very beginning, it was always Guo Yunfeng who personally led people to attack, looking for food, looking for survivors, looking for everything that was useful, until this rule became an iron rule in the camp.

Two weeks after the disaster, Guo Yunfeng's main job was to execute the garbage that didn't want to go out and take risks, but just wanted to enjoy the safety and precious food brought by others in the camp.

Guo Yunfeng stood straight on the bell tower all night, watching the flame slowly extinguish before the sun rose, and then climbed down from the bell tower.

In order to take down this bell tower, the four heroic soldiers closed their eyes forever, and in order to prevent them from becoming a member of the undead, Guo Yunfeng personally cut off their heads and cremated their remains.

Since the rescue of several alchemists and half-hanged mages in the noble district, the corpses of humans and the undead have also become valuable resources.

They can be used as part of a barricade, using spears and wires to hold together multiple corpses or half-dead, undead who have lost their attack power, and pouring them with a quick-freezing potion concocted by an alchemist, and in less than three hours, a simple but sturdy barricade can be successfully erected.

"I'm not going to step out of this camp! You outsider, I'm Viscount Lake's butler, I'm a propertied man! A man in his early forties with yellow hair licked like a dog, clinging to his master's scalp: "You have no right to give me orders, Seris, you are the commander of the infantry regiment, and I ask you to protect my rights!" ”

The dog-like butler had only been rescued from the Noble Quarter by the Steelwalkers three days earlier, and thanks to his sturdy gates, as well as plenty of food and drink, he survived the hellish days of the others.

In fact, according to the patrol route of the Steelwalkers, he had already discovered the existence of those armed miners, and this noble butler only took the initiative to jump out and join the survivor camp after eating up all his food reserves.

The surrounding Steelwalkers glanced at the butler with the eyes of a dead man, and the scouts who had drawn lots scattered, jumping out of a gap in the wall one after another

Will, a pirate who had been living in the camp for a while, sneered, and jumped off the low wall with an arrowstep, and the long sword in his hand slammed into the butler's face with electric light.
