Chapter Eighty-Five: Advance and Retreat

"More than 50 miles further on, there is a city called Jiangcheng. The city is not large, with a total area of only six square kilometers. The river forks off in the north of the city, flows through its east and west ends, and converges in the south. This forms a natural separation zone for the city. Access is by the bridges at the east and west ends, and if we have enough people to guard these two bridges, then this city is undoubtedly the best place for us to live at the moment. Xu Si sat in the co-pilot's seat, studying the map while introducing Cheng Sen.

"Yes, we only need 200 armed Liliang in our hands to take this city for ourselves. The turbulent river and the wide river surface can become our most haode barrier. Don't think about these useless things, let's go and see them first. Cheng Sen smiled bitterly and said to Xu Si. Not to mention 200 people, as long as he has 100 people in his hands now, he dares to occupy this river city first. As long as some forts are built on the bridge, he believes that it will not be a big problem to defend it. But now, the whole team is full, and there are only 6 people. Himself, Xu Si, Wu Gun, Yao Mei, He Xiaomei and Hou Qianqian. Even if you count the kitten apples as one person, that's only 7. 7 people, let alone a city, not even a village, can't hold it.

"Lao Cheng, do you think we should develop some survivors to add in?" After being silent for a long time, Xu Si leaned on the back of the car seat and said. The number of people is small, so it is naturally easier to manage. However, on the other hand, the benefits that can be obtained will be much less. Just like Jiang Cheng, if there are enough people now, then everyone won't have to go around. You can organize people to settle down here, have their own nest, and then radiate out to the surrounding area. So, is there still a problem in terms of material supply?

"Besides, don't look at Jiangcheng, it's not a big place, but this is a central hub city since ancient times. If several surrounding provinces want to communicate with each other, this is a must-pass place. Can there be less materials and supporting production chains? With a turf, are you worried that no one will come to take refuge? Absorb the best talent among them, and maybe self-sufficiency is not a problem. Xu Si looked out the window in a daze, thinking there in his mind.

"How can it be as easy as you think? You see, it doesn't matter if Zhou Keyou is still the political commissar yesterday. They have a group of followers in their hands, is it weishenme? Because those people themselves knew about them before. What kind of psychology do Chinese people have? If you don't cook it, you can live it, and you can follow the herd! Even if someone tells you that they are willing to join, do you dare to let him join casually? If nothing else, let's talk about He Xiaomei, we have a lot of tests for her, right? It's not the last time at the dam, but now can we treat her as our own, let's talk about it! Cheng Sen has his own concerns. Although he also wants to develop his own team, but not to mention the end of the world, even in the past, there were still fewer people who saw the wind and stabbed the rudder in the back? After following you today, I may feel good at first, but after a long time, after the new joiners have passed the initial freshness. It's hard to guarantee that I won't do anything like picking up a bowl to eat meat, putting down chopsticks and scolding my mother.

"I have to be cautious, people's hearts are separated from their bellies, and it is difficult to guarantee that one day people will sell us. Growing the team is a must. But one thing, that is, to have absolute loyalty to this team. How does loyalty come about? One is the cultivation of the day after tomorrow, and the other is the human nature of the individual. Some people, no matter how much you value him, when the time comes, he will still be an anti-bone boy. There are not a few such people. Look, let's take you and the old gun, a few of you. When the team needs you, you will do your best without hesitation, right? But some people are born with the kind of role that is blessed and shared and you are in trouble. Hey~" Cheng Sen said slowly and sighed. He has seen a lot of such people, whether it is an official or an ordinary person, there is no shortage of such people.

"Let's take one step at a time, let's talk about the right person for Yujian. What we need to do now is to make sure that we can survive. Then, go with the flow and grow your team. zuihou is to occupy a relatively well-established base area. We don't just have to deal with zombies, we have to face our own kind. This process may be very long. Cheng Sen touched a cigarette, lit it and said slowly.

"That's just so casual to say it, don't mention it. Let's go to Jiangcheng to have a look, the apple's fresh bag is almost gone! Xu Si also knows that everything can't be done overnight, and it's not up to you to do what you want! If he can really make his wish come true, then the first thing he will do is to think, the zombies will be extinct, and Shijie will return to his previous state. Scratching his head, Xu Si diverted the topic. He can still distinguish between ideal and reality.

While Cheng Sen was driving on the road, Jia Guodong and his subordinates also found the place where Cheng Sen and Ge Jianjun exchanged fire at night. Looking at the ground, behind the trees, and at the half-cut corpse in the rocks. Jia Guodong felt his stomach twitch. "The other party is too ruthless, and none of the brothers will be left behind." While feeling sad and indignant, Jia Guodong actually had a sense of luck.

"If it was me who took over the task yesterday, would it be myself and my brothers who are lying here today?" He thought to himself. Looking at the deep tire marks on the ground, he hesitated. I don't know whether to continue the chase with these soldiers and avenge the dead, or to return the way they came.

"Battalion commander, can we chase after us?" Not only Jia Guodong hesitated, but even his subordinate soldiers hesitated. Looking at the water-doused bonfire on the dirt bag, the soldiers knew that when the other party left, they were at least calm. In other words, Ge Jianjun did not bring casualties or threats to the other party. In the face of the sneak attack of more than 10 heavily armed soldiers, these soldiers can be wiped out, so what is the origin of the other party? Can the average person do this? Kill these soldiers, and they won't believe it either.

"What do you say?" Jia Guodong took out half a crumpled cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took two puffs, handed it to the soldier next to him and asked rhetorically.

"Battalion commander, let's leave. When I went back, I said I didn't find anything, and I didn't look at anything. If you can't continue to chase, just in case" The soldier took two puffs of his cigarette and said to Jia Guodong with courage.

"Yes, battalion commander, you can't do it, let's go back!" The soldiers gathered together and gathered there.

"Go back!" Jia Guodong pondered for a long time, smashed his fist on the trunk of the tree beside him, gritted his teeth and gave orders to the soldiers!
