"Click-la-la-......"

The iron bridge that once carried the hope of 100,000 people was corroded, and the corroded and deformed iron bridge could not bear the weight of the bridge, and it was disconnected from the river that fell to the corpses below, and there were still living people on the side of the river howling miserably, and the terrible call came to the ears of everyone on the shore, no one moved, and they looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang sitting on the military vehicle together.

Zhang Xiaoqiang first looked at the zombies in the opposite gathering place, and after a while, he came back to his senses, and saw that everyone else was looking at him, and he also heard the miserable people in the river below, Zhang Xiaoqiang hesitated, and finally said:

"Give them a ......"

There are a lot of people calling for help below, most of them have broken legs, and some of the lucky ones are not injured, there are moats on both sides, they hope to get help, they thought they would die, how do they know that Zhang Xiaoqiang killed Z2, and the way to live was opened, and these people who were bent on death also had hope of life, but they had no chance of life.

They hoped that the people who had crossed the river would save them, and in their hoarse calls, heads appeared on the other side, and when they saw them, they called even louder, until a crossbow bolt pierced their chests.

The sound of the call in the river changed from screaming to depression, and the zombies on the other side of the river had begun to rush into the bridgehead, seeing the dense zombies rushing towards the bridgehead, Zhang Xiaoqiang turned his head and said to Huang Quan:

"Let's go......"

Finally withdrew from the nightmarish gathering place, everyone was glad that they could live to a new starting point, only Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that everything had just begun.

Behind them, countless zombies were attracted by the smell of blood under the bridge and threw themselves down the river, countless zombies were washed away by the torrent, countless zombies fell on the river beach, and were stoned to death by the zombies who fell from behind, and a small number of zombies ate the first bite of fresh meat, and were buried by countless companions with their bodies.

There are some Z-type zombies with their D2 guards waiting quietly in the center of the gathering place, behind the wall behind them, the ant-marching zombies are still gathering in this direction, among which the occasional Z-type zombie riding a D2 zombie can be seen, and the endless zombies stretch in the direction of Wh...... The long procession marched the pre-apocalyptic concrete pavement, and from time to time some people left the team and ran to the nearby mountains and forests, fields, and dwellings in search of food, some people never returned, and some returned to the crowd with enough food, and exchanged the food for a new identity to the convoy and become an official member of the convoy.

The convoy received all the food offered by the poor, regardless of whether the grain was moldy or spoiled, and whether there was blood on the bags of grain.

No one knows how many people left the team and died in the mountains, no one knows how many people left the team to fend for themselves, and no one knows how many corpses of starvation are burned every day by the corpse collection team in the rear.

All of them chose to ignore this, they just went forward, forward, one forward, or they couldn't survive and fell on the side of the road as corpses.

Zhang Xiaoqiang had long since taken the corpses on the side of the road to heart, and after calculating it, Zhang Xiaoqiang's hands were stained with the blood of tens of thousands of people, those who were beheaded, those who defected from the gathering place, those who were killed by him by the lake, those who were shot by Li Zhi in the village, and all of them were counted on his head.

Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't want to be a hero, let alone save 100,000 lives, he first became a butcher who killed more than 10,000 people, before, although his subordinates were not too close to him, but they would not be afraid of him, now, whenever he appeared, many people were so frightened that they didn't dare to come out, which made Zhang Xiaoqiang very helpless, and he also found that for some reason, he always felt that there seemed to be a faint smell of blood on his body, and he couldn't tell if it was a psychological reason, sometimes just frowning slightly, it could scare the soldiers around him into trembling.

It was already the afternoon of the next day, and it had been 24 hours since the convoy got out of the gathering place, but the speed of the convoy was not fast, and the number of people killed by Zhang Xiaoqiang at the gathering place reached more than 10,000, including those who defected and stormed the riverside wharf, as well as those killed from entering the gathering place.

The two long-distance migrations, plus the 20,000 survivors who were transferred to the island in the middle of the lake, almost 13,000 people who were captured by zombies after they were killed in the gathering place or broke out, about 10,000 people who died under the bridge and those who were killed by Li Zhi, and those who found another way to survive and died in the wild, at present, the size of the convoy is about 70,000 people, which is just half of the population when they entered the gathering place.

In other words, the gathering place lost about 50,000 people in this retreat and blockade operation, and more than that, you must know that Zhang Xiaoqiang also brought back thousands of people from Tianxingzhou.

The population of 70,000 is only half of the total population, but the migration of two or three hundred kilometers is a disaster for a group of survivors who have no means of delivery, the distance between the front and back of the team has reached dozens of kilometers, the forward has reached the edge of the town recovered by Huangquan, and the rear guard is only less than twenty kilometers away from the gathering place.

To be precise, if it weren't for the moat, which was more than ten meters deep and high, they would only be four hours away from the vanguard of the zombies.

According to the report of the reconnaissance team, at the exit of the gathering place, the zombie sea used tens of thousands of zombies to fill the river to no effect, and then temporarily stopped, which was good news for them, but some people saw that the zombies seemed to begin to be organized in the gathering place, more and more scattered zombies were collected, and more zombies poured into the gathering place through the wall.

This made Zhang Xiaoqiang understand that the contraction of the zombies was only temporary, and when the zombies formed a scale again, the Z-type zombies would rush across the bridge with the sea of zombies and rush towards them, and at that time, unless they crossed the river, they would be followed by the zombies forever.

There are two roads, one is to cross the river and let the entire Yangtze River be used as a moat, and the other is to escape on land and take the zombies to other places.

The second is a supplementary plan to the first, you know, there are not many gas steamers on the side of the Yangtze River, even if they collect with all their might, they can't send 70,000 people across the river in a few days, and the zombies are behind them, so they return to the original point, time.

There is not enough time to send people across the river, and the rest of the people will become bait for the zombies, who are still a mountain on their heads, although they rush out of the gathering place at a huge cost, but the road ahead is still unpredictable, and they have to carry the big burden of tens of thousands of survivors.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Zhang Xiaoqiang subconsciously reduced the burden on him, and those poor people who were temporarily worthless were the burdens he slowly reduced.

The long journey is a knockout game for the poor, Zhang Xiaoqiang did not supplement the food for the poor, and the great thing is to provide the worst meal for the women and children mixed in the poor, and can only eat it in person.

This is still Zhang Huai'an secretly doing behind Zhang Xiaoqiang's back, Zhang Huai'an did what Zhang Xiaoqiang naturally knew, but he just opened his eyes and closed one eye as if he didn't know.

At the end of the day, more than 200 corpses were found on the roadside, most of them men who had been hungry for too long and had lost their vitality, and of course, women and children.

In this regard, Zhang Xiaoqiang still pretended not to know, the food was tight, they could not feed tens of thousands of people, there was still a long way to get to the base, and the food consumed was even more massive, and even if they arrived at the base, after a month, the base would not be able to take out excess food to feed tens of thousands of people.

Zhang Xiaoqiang has a bottom line, before crossing the river, it is a knockout competition, and after everyone crosses the river, they can supply materials equally, because there is a large lake with abundant materials on the other side of the river, and before that, except for those civilians and soldiers in the past, the poor people can't take care of it.

Another reason is that Zhang Xiaoqiang is persecuting them, people are always afraid of the unknown, they are used to maintaining their current life, if Zhang Xiaoqiang does not force them, they will never have the courage to go to the wild to find food.

Although the end of the world has come, a lot of vegetation has died due to lack of water, but it does not mean that there is no food to be found in the wild, and there are a large number of cold weapons in the convoy, and the poor can use the materials they find as collateral to rent.

This is close to WH, it is an economically developed area, the population density is also relatively large, after several searches by the search team before, a large number of scattered zombies were killed 90%, although the bulk of food can not be found, but the search team does not look down on the small bulk of materials but a lot, as long as they dare to fight those scattered zombies, they can always find food.

Zhang Xiaoqiang was right, in the vast area, there are all kinds of materials, moldy grain, feed from the farm, leather shoes, belts, and leather bags in the store, as long as they are leather, they can be eaten, rat food in the vole holes in the field, mutated insects in the humid area, and small mutant beasts with weak attack power.

Most people just haven't experienced it, once they fight for survival, then the power they burst out is terrifying, the hungry people's demand for food is unlimited, after they burst out the biggest ** and action, within three kilometers on both sides of the kilometer, everything that can be eaten is looted by the hungry and crazy.

At first, some people stiffened out of fear and were eaten by zombies, some people found food and were killed by their companions, and some people found food and took some people to find another way to live, and after a whole day of differentiation and integration, they were surprised to find more food than they could have imagined.

Although most of the food is coarse, and some of it was only used as a daily necessities in the past, there is nothing that is acceptable in the last days as long as it can fill the stomach.

There is too much food, they can't finish eating, they can't take it away, some people use food to plead with the convoy, hoping to get an official identity, in the convoy, the official identity is the same name as the militia, is the new identity of the remaining 28,000 melee regiments in the gathering place, they have been recognized by Zhang Xiaoqiang, and will be included in the reserve system to form a second-line corps in the future.
