****************

The time entered the middle of September safely.

The corpse king that Chen Yuan was watching out for finally appeared.

The first to discover the Corpse King was in the southern city of Wu.

The zombies here are in groups, and they have even begun to build huge walls around Wushi.

The titanium steel factory near Wu City has always been associated with the Steel Castle, so the changes that occurred here immediately spread to the Steel Castle.

Chen Yuan suspected that the Corpse King had appeared, otherwise he would not have been able to build a city wall around a city as big as Wu City.

The Military Intelligence Agency immediately pointed a satellite at this place, and after repeated confirmations, it finally confirmed that the appearance of the Corpse King was real-time.

Not only did he see millions of zombies mobilized at the same time, but more importantly, Chen Yuan found a huge figure of the mother corpse in Wu City!

In addition to controlling about 100-3 million ordinary zombies, about 1-30,000 enhanced species and about 10-30 mutant zombies, each corpse king can control about 10-3 mutant zombies. You can also have up to 10 female corpses.

The so-called mother corpse is a kind of zombie nest that can give birth and hatch zombies. Each female corpse is capable of hatching about 5,000 adult zombies in 3 months.

Although it may not seem like much, the long-term accumulation is also very considerable. 10 female corpses can give birth to 200,000 in a year, and they are zombies in an adult state as soon as they are born.

When Chen Yuan and the others saw the female corpses, the zombies were building huge nests for them. These nests are reinforced by gold, earth, and even wood mutant zombies, and are often very strong, even able to withstand human missile attacks. Therefore, it is very difficult for humans to destroy these female corpses.

In late September, Zhangjiakou, Shishi, and Beidu in the south also reported the discovery of the corpse king.

For a while, people were panicked.

By the beginning of October, even the cities of Qiha, Ha, Chun and Shen in the northeast had corpse kings. There are as many as 87 corpse king legions found in Huaxia, covering almost all the original first, second and third-tier cities in Huaxia!

By mid-October, the first Corpse King in the south had completed the integration of the legions and began to attack in a big way.

Two large human survivor settlements with a population of more than 100,000 were dismantled in a row.

Several corpse generals in Ji Province are also ready to move.

For a time, almost all the settlements were in danger.

It was in this environment that the Iron Castle ushered in their second autumn harvest in the last days.

This time, the autumn harvest began, and Qin Mushan and Wang Zhentao both came to "supervise the battle" in person. It's not that they don't care about the autumn harvest in Zhangbei County.

However, the heat in the south is high, and the autumn harvest in Zhangbei County is earlier than in the northeast, and the autumn harvest on their side has been completed in early October.

More than 2 million acres of land, but because it is dry land, the soil condition is not good, so the grain output here that year was only about 500,000 tons, and all of them were sorghum, wheat, corn, etc.

Of course, this is already good.

If calculated according to the standard of 1 pound of grain per person per day, this grain is enough for 2.7 million people to eat for a year!

At this time, the total population of Yangcheng and Shenwuguan settlements was only 780,000, which means that this grain was enough for their current population to eat for about 4 years.

Although there are only 240,000 acres of land in the northeast, they are planted with rice, and the soil is fertile, and the estimated production capacity per mu is more than 1,200 catties, totaling about 150,000 tons. So of course they are coming.

Standing in the autumn sunshine, looking at the endless rice fields and wheat fields, it is inadvertently emotional, it is so good to be alive.

The autumn harvest began in earnest in this mood.

It is all mechanized harvesting, which is extremely efficient. In less than a week, it was all completed.

The final result was 240,000 acres of land in Yangcheng and Shenwuguan settlements, with a total grain output of 157,000 tons. It exceeded their expectations. The two families were naturally overjoyed, because the grain harvested in the northeast alone was enough for the population of the two families to eat for more than a year. The labor force used is less than one-twentieth of the 2 million mu of land in Zhangbei County.

Putting into production to the length ratio, the inspection is several streets higher.

And the food production of the Steel Fortress is even more exaggerated.

1.2 million acres of land, rice, wheat, corn, soybeans, rape, sugar beets, peanuts, potatoes and other total output of 700,000 tons.

This year's grain output alone is more than 10 years old for the existing 270,000 people in the Iron Fort.

Soon after, the first snow in the Tohoku began to fall.

The Iron Castle's sphere of influence has entered a period of low frequency of zombie activity.

But in the south, the zombie turmoil has not stopped at all.

In late October, even the new Jinling City was attacked by a corpse king army of millions of zombies.

Fortunately, the new Jinling City was strong, and after paying a lot of casualties, the corpse king army was repulsed.

However, Chen Yuan remembered that in the previous life, the new Jinling City was finally destroyed after the appearance of the Imperial Corpse Legion.

No matter how many bullets and shells you have, you can't withstand the rotational attack of tens of millions of zombies in the south.

Take the province of Hei and the province of Suzhou, where the new Jinling is located. Before the end of the world, Hei Province had an area of 450,000 square kilometers and a population of only 35 million, while Su Province had an area of only 100,000 square kilometers and a population of nearly 80 million. The difference in population density is more than 10 times. This is the reason why Chen Yuan insisted on coming to Hei Province in the first place.

Chen Yuan also doesn't know what will happen to the new Jinling in this life.

"But anyway, there are still more than two years to wait for the emperor's corpse to appear. If not, remind them a little bit and let them move to the north. Chen Yuan thought so.

And at this time, in the northeast. Under the tremendous pressure of the Corpse King Legion, the various forces began to reshuffle and integrate.

In mid-November, a number of small and medium-sized settlements in the vicinity chose to join the Iron Castle for refuge, and the population of the Iron Castle rose to 380,000!

The rapid increase in population has brought a large number of labor to the Iron Castle, and it has also caused the Iron Castle to have an oversupply of labor for the first time.

More than 30,000 people have no jobs to do. These are all looking for jobs, and there are no jobs in the settlements anymore (and now people don't leave their jobs easily). If you want to be a mercenary, your strength is not enough (I haven't touched a gun in my original settlement, and my body has hardly been strengthened). If you want to do business but don't know what to do for the time being.

A large number of idle people, and people who have just joined the Iron Castle, do not have much sense of belonging here, and do not know much about the law, naturally led to the security problem of the Steel Castle becoming serious. Incidents of theft, fighting, and extortion occur from time to time.

In the past, because the security situation in the Steel Castle has always been very good, even fights and brawls don't happen a few times a month, and the most usually dealt with is drunk and making trouble. So the Iron Castle Police Department has not had a lot of people before.

Now that there are so many cases at once, Li Yufeng and others are immediately busy.

But these are only temporary.

The Steel Castle was just a little overwhelmed by the sudden influx of so many people in a short period of time.

Moreover, Chen Yuan also ordered all relevant units to expand personnel recruitment.

For example, in the police department, if there are more cases and the law and order is poor, you will recruit more police.

For example, the maintenance brigade has expanded its troops and increased the number of combat vehicles, so it is natural that the number of vehicle renovation and maintenance personnel will also increase.

For example, if the construction team has a large population and there are not enough houses, they will increase the number of people to build more houses.

Another example is the scientific research department, with so many people pouring in, there are always some outstanding talents in it, right? Can't let them all go to the factory! Not compiled? Then increase it! There are still a lot of weapons and equipment that need to be developed!

In addition, as the population increases and the sales of various products increase, each factory will increase its own jobs after a period of time. Therefore, the labor force will still be digested, and if there is a little more, Chen Yuan is not worried.

At the beginning of December, the weather was finally cold enough, and the troops of the Self-Salvation Army began to prepare to attack Sun County.
