Chapter 340: The King of the Dead Country
Huijing Base City, on the edge of the Haojiang River, the Great Escape was staged here again.
Ever since the battle was unfavorable at night, the people of Huijing had already begun to flee.
Although Huijing Base City is on the edge of the Haojiang River, this is not Huijing before the end of the world.
In order to prevent the invasion of zombies, there is not even a river bridge here, and you usually rely on shipping when you go out.
Therefore, there are a large number of ships here in Huijing, and those large freighters, there is no problem for one ship to pull three or four thousand people.
Tian Mingfei's inland water fleet was also fully mobilized, and all the boats began to pull people, and there was no need to transport them far, as long as they pulled people to the other side of the Hao River, they were unloaded, and then immediately turned back to continue the rescue.
Still, there are not enough boats here, and one by one ships leave the port and cross the river, drop people down, and then come back for transshipment.
This is still not enough, all the boats that can be mobilized are used, and even the boats are not enough, so people use some wooden planks, bamboo rafts, and even bathtubs and other things, and do everything possible to get out of here.
But this is still not enough, where is the transfer of tens of millions of people so easy.
After overnight transfers, more than seven or eight million people are still stranded on the riverside.
Some of the Gaoling Empire's vigilantes and armed policemen guarded here with guns, trying to maintain order as much as possible.
On the shore was a surging crowd of people, and the darkness was so overwhelming that there was no edge in sight, and it was even crazier than a crowd of corpses.
The vigilantes yelled hoarsely, their eyes red, and the crazy scene in front of them made their emotions start to spiral out of control.
"Hurry, hurry! If you have children, get on board first! ”
"Don't fucking squeeze, play with your gentlemanly demeanor, let the woman."
"Stand back, back off! Squeeze Lao Tzu further and kill you! ”
"Bang~~!"
Shots rang out, and a crowd of people fell, but death was not quite able to control the situation.
The people in the back squeezed forward, and the people in front were a little involuntarily.
Several warships along the river drove over, set up machine guns and began to strafe, killing hundreds of people in a row before calming the restless crowd a little.
But everyone knew that such a calm would not last long, and once the city was broken, everyone would die.
All of them know that they may not be able to hold on, but no one knows exactly how long they can hold out.
All the shipping forces were at full speed, almost with the strength of milk, and wanted to transport people to the other side of the Hao River.
But the people of Huijing did not appreciate it.
Everyone knows a little about the battle situation on the front line, the flares can't be shot, and if they go out, they will be swallowed by mutant birds, and this battle is almost impossible to win.
Before the war, Tian Mingfei blew how ruthless the cow was, and now he is beaten in the face.
Seeing that the shipping force here is not strong, and the cloud of death hangs over everyone's heads, everyone can't calm down.
"Open the blockade, we're going to Dicui Island!"
"Let Tian Mingfei step down from the throne, negotiate peace with the Chasing Light Army, and let us go north to Chasing Light City."
"We are going to Yuanjing, Princess Li Wuwu is the orthodox royal family of the empire, and she will not ignore our people."
"Tian Mingfei, this bastard, Lao Tzu was pitted by him, I know the situation on the front line, now more than 100,000 people have died, armored vehicles and planes have been wiped out by corpses, and he has not done any of the things he promised, he knows that he will fight a civil war, and let Lao Tzu die for his stupidity in vain, and Lao Tzu will not let him go if he is a ghost!"
"Isn't Chen Hongchang an ally with Tian Mingfei? Why don't you see him send a boat to pick him up? ”
"A raccoon dog on a hill doesn't care about the life or death of the people at all, such a person is not worthy of being an emperor at all."
"Can the speed of shipping be faster? Please, the front line really can't hold it up. ”
The warship's strafing only remained calm for a moment, and soon the agitation returned.
The giant ship can't shoot the crowd indefinitely, and the people above are still patiently explaining.
"Don't be nervous, don't get excited, we still have an army of armed zombies, which will be sent to meet the battle soon."
The news calmed people down a bit, and if the armed zombies worked, maybe they wouldn't die yet.
However, soon the news of a thunderbolt came from a sunny day.
Armed zombies mutinied en masse and began to attack the defenders!
The walls of the east, west and south were in danger at the same time, and the defenders were worried about internal and external troubles, and a large number of people died, and perhaps the city was broken only in a short time.
The agitated crowd broke through the blockade and wanted to get closer to the river and board the boat that was carrying back and forth, and no one wanted to queue up anymore.
In desperation, the Gaoling Navy could only open fire again, and the machine guns strafed back and forth, killing a large number of people, otherwise these people could overturn the incoming ships.
Now they are still soldiers in Gaoling, and the zombies outside the city have not been killed, and they still want to hold on until the last moment.
The commotion was suppressed again, but not for long.
Originally, people didn't want to go across the river.
Because there is no base city in the north of Haojiang, and there are no man's land for thousands of miles, what can they do if they go? Cities and towns are occupied by zombies, did they go and starve to death?
But now that everyone can't manage so much, it is already a luxury dream to be able to reach the other side of the river.
Some of these swimmers couldn't wait, and they began to swim into the water, trying to swim to the other side of the river and escape.
However, there are not many people who can really cross the Hao River, many swimmers drown in the middle of swimming, and many more people are attacked by mutant fish in the river.
A man dies, blood flows.
10,000 people died, blood crossed the river!
A large number of mutant fish were attracted by the taste of blood and began a gluttonous feast.
The Haojiang River, which is more than ten kilometers wide, has become a three-way river at this moment.
And on the front line, bad news came one after another, and the defense line could not hold on.
Faced with such a situation, people almost despair.
Tian Mingfei sat in his palace, his face was gray.
How long does it take for a person to go from an emperor admired by thousands of people to a scorn by thousands of people?
One night!
Yesterday he was still the emperor on the high, but overnight, everything was over.
Once he was still fantasizing that Chen Hongchang was out of play, and he should have the opportunity to be the real Emperor of Hanyue.
He was still thinking that he could command an army of armed zombies and fight a larger territory.
But the arrival of a group of corpses completely destroyed all this.
He was no longer able to turn over, or even to escape.
Where else could he escape?
If he was an ordinary person, he might still have the desire to flee, but he used to be an emperor, and if he fell from this position, his life would have almost no meaning.
He sent people to arrest Dr. Zhu from the scientific research institute.
This person fooled himself, he generated armed zombies and would not be summoned by the corpse king, but now the last blow to him is armed zombies.
He wanted to arrest Dr. Zhu and kill him, but his people went to the research institute and found that it was empty.
Dr. Chu didn't know when he left and left him a letter.
The letter is still on his desk.
[Your Majesty personally opened.] 】
[I am very sorry that our cooperation did not come to the end, and in this cooperation, His Majesty has been eliminated from the competition very regrettably. 】
[I have to say, it's Your Majesty's life is not good, I didn't deceive you, it is indeed difficult for armed zombies to be summoned by the Corpse King, but it is a pity that the Corpse King who came this time is too powerful. 】
[The corpse king also has a hierarchy, in fact, in the Nanzhou continent and the western hemisphere, there has already been a corpse king, but the chaos is far less serious, and the news has not been transmitted, the most powerful corpse king used to be only the level of the little corpse girl. 】
[It can only be said that Your Majesty was unlucky and met the strongest corpse king, so you are not qualified to continue to cooperate with me. 】
[Your Majesty may not know the ultimate purpose of my cooperation with you, nor who I am, but I can tell you with a clear conscience that we are engaged in a great cause, which is done well, and will even achieve a leap in civilization. 】
[But you don't need to know the specific details, because it doesn't make sense for a person who is going to die to know too much.] 】
[For me, it was not a failure, because I made a major discovery. 】
[But Your Majesty, you're done, goodbye!] 】
At the end of the letter, there was still time to sign the money, and the time was yesterday evening, when Dr. Zhu had already left.
Looking at the content of the letter, Tian Mingfei felt a little chilled all over.
He didn't know what great cause Dr. Zhu was talking about, and he didn't want to know, but he knew that his path had come to an end.
Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of water, trying to calm himself down, he called the TV station over.
"Send me the last news, after sending it, you all go to the dock, I will let the defending troops fight to the death, they can't withdraw, as much time as you can buy."
The people on the TV station trembled and filmed Tian Mingfei and broadcast it simultaneously.
Tian Mingfei tidied up his clothes to make himself look as solemn as possible, and then spoke to the camera.
"Your Royal Highness, I'm sorry."
"Forget it, there's no point in saying sorry now, I declare that the Gaoling Empire has fallen."
"There is no hope here in Huijing, but there are still people in other base cities, you can find your own way to survive in the future, but I advise you to return to the empire, after all, everyone is still from Hanyue."
"Tang Zheng. I failed, if you can, I hope you can try your best to save the people of Huijing, although I know you can't do it either, but those who cross the river and leave, you try to arrange some food for them. ”
"In the future, if you encounter someone who is arming zombies, be careful, they may have some schemes."
"As for me, I originally wanted someone to help me put my family on the grave, but if I think about it, it's easy for someone to dig up my ancestral grave, and there will be nothing more to say, so be it."
As he spoke, Tian Mingfei waved his hand frustrated and signaled that the shooting was over.
After the filming was completed, Tian Mingfei waved his hand again and asked everyone to leave.
The people around him also chose to leave, after all, the howling of zombies outside was getting closer and closer, and no one dared to stay.
With the closing of the gates of the imperial palace, the Goreung Empire officially became history.
