"By the way, what do the people in the three settlements of Akiyama Settlement, Linqian Village Shelter, and Baidushan Lime Mine Underground City say? You've already warned them, right? They have no intention of preparing to transfer. β
Xu Kai shook his head and said, "A warning has been issued to them, but they don't seem to believe it much." β
Chen Yuan asked suspiciously, "Don't believe it?" β
"yes. They don't seem to think it's that serious. Since the Salvation Army cleared the nearby villages and towns, they have also planted food near their settlements. It seems not so easy to get them to give up these freshly planted crops and transfer. β
"Hmm!" Chen Yuan nodded, he could understand this. Food is the most important guarantee for everyone in the last days, and giving up food is equivalent to giving up hope. Few people can easily drop their food.
So he sighed and said, "Then let them go, and we will do our best to obey the destiny of heaven." But let the relevant departments be prepared, and when they need it, they will be able to respond a little. I don't think the zombie horde will attack for long. β
Sure enough, just a week later, the zombie horde was in action.
The reconnaissance satellite of the Self-Rescue Army can monitor the movement route of the zombie group, and Chen Yuan and the others can easily judge the target of the zombie group this time. They were heading in the direction of Linqian Village.
So Chen Yuan immediately asked Xu Kai to inform the intelligence officers stationed in Linqian Village during this time, so that they could issue an early warning to the people in Linqian Village again.
So in Linqian Village, the scouts of the Self-Rescue Army immediately went to find the current village chief of Linqian Village, and they said to him: "Village Chief Zheng, the zombies are really here, after our reconnaissance satellite found that they left Nenjiang County, they moved directly to this side, the number is no less than 30,000, you really have to evacuate immediately, otherwise it will be dangerous!" β
However, the village chief surnamed Zheng and several other village cadres didn't believe it, and he said resolutely: "Young man, don't lie to me. I don't believe it! In the past few months, the zombie group in Nenjiang County has been very quiet, and they have never been out of the county, so how can they suddenly come to fight us now! β
He looked at the scouts of the Self-Rescue Army and was a little annoyed, so he said angrily: "I know that the land around here has been recovered by you, and the zombies have also been killed by you." But after all, it used to be our land, and it won't hurt you much if we grow some food on our own land. Can't you let us live here in a down-to-earth way? The land that you planted before, with your population, will be enough for you to eat for several years. Isn't that still the case for us? β
He stubbornly believed that the Self-Salvation Army was trying to trick them into leaving the place so that they could take possession of the food they had grown.
The scouts of the Self-Salvation Army immediately persuaded bitterly: "Village Chief Zheng, we really don't want to occupy your land and grain. As you said, we already have so much food, so how can we look at your food? We really want to help you! β
But Village Chief Zheng was very valuative, and he said bitterly: "If you really want to help us, then please leave." Without this food, we really can't survive! β
The two scouts glanced at each other and shook their heads with wry smiles, and finally they had no choice but to say, "Okay, Village Chief Zheng, we did receive an order from our superiors to retreat, so let's go first, take care of yourself." In fact, if you can, you can also send people to reconnoiter in the direction of Nenjiang County to know if the matter is true. It's better to be quick, though. The speed of zombies is very fast. It doesn't take half an hour for their army to arrive. Your time to evacuate will be very limited. β
After saying that, the two scouts of the self-rescue army left on their own.
The village chief, Zheng and the others, remained in the office of the village committee, discussing with each other.
A village cadre suggested: "Village chief, why don't we send two people to the direction of Nenjiang County?" Either way, there's nothing wrong with checking it out. β
But another village cadre objected: "I don't think that's necessary." What kind intentions can those of the Iron Castle be? Have you all forgotten what we learned before? At the beginning, Liu Zhonglei's gang didn't say that they really wanted to help us, and they provided us with food and weapons. When we fully trusted them, suddenly one day they came to us and told us that a large number of zombies were coming towards us, and we couldn't stop them, so we should flee quickly. As a result, the fact is that they took a fancy to the topography of our Akiyama settlement and wanted to take it for themselves. Those zombies were also deliberately brought in by them. As soon as we fled, they took advantage of the situation to occupy the Akiyama settlement that we had worked so hard to build, and relied on the favorable terrain there to easily wipe out the zombies. β
"But this time it might be different. I don't think their Iron Castle looks like it's lacking us. In addition, it was because they destroyed all the zombies in the neighborhood that we were able to return to the village and continue our lives. β
"I said Liu Yang, don't be naΓ―ve, in this world, will anyone still think that there is too much food? How did they become stronger little by little, not just by constantly annexing other small forces around them! I'm sure that the moment we leave here and join them, their attitude towards us will change as soon as the time comes. β
At this time, another village cadre also agreed: "Yes, it is better to live freely under the fence than for us to live by ourselves." As a last resort, let's not leave here lightly. I don't want to lose my home again. β
Liu Yang insisted: "But this doesn't affect us from sending people to reconnoitre?" β
The opponent shook his head: "If it was in the past, it would really be nothing to send someone to drive a car to reconnoitre." But now, most of the oil we had collected with great difficulty had fallen into the Akiyama settlement, and not much had been brought out. Now we can only generate electricity for two hours a day, and we have to consume a lot of precious oil when we drive out for a round trip! What a waste it would be if this was a fake again. Just like the village chief said, the zombies in the county seat of Nenjiang County have not moved much in the past half a year, so how can they suddenly come out of the county seat to beat us now? So it's mostly fake! β
"But ......"
"Alright, alright!" Those who opposed comforted: "You can put a hundred hearts, they don't know how many survivors have not been discovered by them in the county seat of Nenjiang County." We are 18 kilometers away from the county seat of Nenjiang County, how could zombies come to us from afar. Besides, we've built the walls now, so what can the zombies do to us? As long as we don't get out of the city, can they still climb up with a ladder? β
(They hadn't fought siege battles with zombies, so they really didn't know that zombies would also use ladders.) οΌ
In the end, everyone looked at Village Chief Zheng to see how he decided.
Village Chief Zheng thought about it for a while, sighed and said, "Hey, let's send someone to take a look." Even if it's fake, it doesn't waste much gas, and we can let everyone really recognize the true face of the people in the Iron Castle, and save the villagers below what to expect from them. β
After a while, Village Chief Zheng said again: "But if it's true, then ......"
