Chapter Forty-Eight: The Village Fortress
I don't know how long I slept, but when Aegon woke up, the entire village fortress was silent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
He walked out, and in the living room where he lived, he saw Xia Wenxi asleep on the table. He stroked her hair gently, used his magic to lift her body, and laid her down on the bed in the room, and gently covered her with the quilt.
Walking out of the house, the state of just waking up made people feel very comfortable.
A feeling that you are not awake yet, but your body and mind are recovering.
I didn't have a good view of this rural fortress before, and at this time, it doesn't seem to be a world-famous scenery, but it is also a place with a very good view.
Both the air quality and the feeling were comfortable.
There are endless fields ahead, and the scope is vast. He walked around the village and looked at the layout of the place, which was very large, because many of the paths were not repaired, so it was a little difficult to walk.
Difficult paths, but also good defensive settings.
At least, it is difficult for humans to leave, let alone zombies? If the general decaying zombies, if they can't be grouped together, then no matter how many they are, they will only be slaughtered.
This village fortress is protected by earthen walls, which are simple walls. As you can see, there is a room here that can be used to burn bricks, and the original owner of this place is not stupid, and knows how to make such a thing to build the city wall.
Part of the wall has been built into a brick wall.
It's coarse, but it's also thick. It's not high, and it's more than three meters high, which is enough to defend against ordinary zombies, and it can also make people condescend to fight back.
The geographical location of this village is special, although the scope is large, but there are only two exits, and neither of them is a major road. Once these two roads are blocked, there is basically no possibility of entering this place, unless you swim through the river behind the village.
With time, plugging up all the potentially threatening paths around the village, and protecting the river, this could be a paradise-level fortress.
Not only is the terrain hidden, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
There are 10,000 acres of fertile land in front of it, and there are mountains and rivers in the back, which is really good.
I walked around and looked at the pigs in the various pens and the free-range chickens and eggs in the chicken coop, and there was plenty of food here.
Eventually, he came to a locked room, which looked like a prison cell, and many of the people who had been from the village were locked in.
Aegon patted the face of the soldier guarding the place, woke him up, and asked, "Who are these people?"
The soldier replied truthfully: "After capturing this place, the captain found that the people here were basically divided into two categories, one was relatively strong, powerful, and arrogant. There is also a weaker group, like slaves who are oppressed in captivity. ”
"The captain said that we were too tired, and that we were afraid that there would be a misunderstanding or a bad plot here, so he locked up the poor people who had not been killed, and when we were all well-rested, we would meet again to decide what to do with them. ”
Aegon waved his hand: "Got it, let him decide what to do when your captain wakes up." ”
With that, he turned to leave.
Although the people who were locked up were poor people, he didn't think the captain had done anything wrong.
After all, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, if the poor are not the poor people? If you don't control them when they are tired and tired, who knows if you will be killed by these people in your sleep.
In times of peace, many Marys will be produced.
Even in the chaotic times, there are people who are still very virgin even when they are in danger.
But the warriors who fought bloodily are very short of such a virgin. Even children are treated as potential threats.
As the people woke up, Aegon checked the distance from here to the sea. Sioux City doesn't have a beach by the sea, and if you want to find the beach, you have to go to another city, so you have two options.
One is the nearest city, part of Sioux City, which has long been completely ruled by zombies.
The other is Haishi, an international metropolis. There are also warriors fighting in the core of the sea city, but it is also one of the cities targeted by the Death Knights, and it is no less dangerous than Sioux City.
Walk a big city that the Death Knight has listed as a target.
Or go to a small second-tier city?
Walk to Haishi, and maybe be able to contact the army there to help them. If you go in the other direction, you will be relatively safe and you may not encounter the Death Knights, but there will be no army that will be able to provide support and assistance.
How to go about it became a question.
This is also a question that Aegon and others need to discuss and make decisions next.
But it's not an absolute matter for them to make their own decisions.
I reconnected with the white worm, and also contacted the butler who was in charge of the artificial island and the fleet. He and Bai Chi's team, all independent decisions were canceled, and they were all strictly ordered by the steward to obey the command.
The housekeeper figured out a safe route.
Following the route he had arranged, halfway through, White Chi and Aegon would meet.
Then the two of them will walk along the elevated highway of Jiangcheng until they reach the sea, but there will be enough boats waiting for them there.
Along the way, the steward will also send people to parachute in various supplies to ensure that they do not make mistakes.
After such a happy decision, Aegon encountered a new problem.
There were some people who suggested to him to stay. They stayed in this village fortress, far from the people, with water and large fields of fertile land, and many seedlings of poultry and livestock to raise, and they even found horses, cattle and sheep.
The back mountain can be used to raise goats, and there is a safe grassland behind the mountain that can be used to raise horses. All you need to do is cover and defend the pass, and you can be safe.
People can hunt in the mountains and guard the place on horseback.
Build a watchtower at the top of the hill and use the remaining binoculars in the team to observe movement in a large area of the surrounding land.
This can be a real fortress, the zombies will not find here, and even if they do, it only takes a few people to block the mountain of corpses and the sea of corpses.
This place is very tempting for people who have just escaped death.
They are not willing to travel long distances, risk their lives to go to the sea, to let themselves live on an artificial island that they have never heard of in the future, to live on the sea, to live in a boat.
Rather than that, they would rather live in this rural fortress and live a stable life that they can see and touch now.
At least you don't have to ride the waves, and you don't have to worry about whether it's just fish.
With such good days in front of us, who wants to move forward for an uncertain future?
After all, not all of them are risk-takers. Most human beings just want to live a peaceful and stable life without worries.
