Chapter 1616

"But a group of people from the Gija State arrived, and it was they who led so many monsters here!"

Tu Donghai recounted the entire sequence of events.

Speaking of it made him so angry he nearly cursed out loud.

In truth, he also felt hatred in his heart, but he was a leader.

His mindset could not be like that of the soldiers, who would resort to killing at the slightest disagreement.

Now that he had reported the matter to His Highness, he could be considered to have vented a little bit of his resentment.

General Meng Tian Tian and the others were secretly amazed upon hearing this; so that was how it happened.

Sure enough, it was outsiders who had led the infected monsters here.

Otherwise, such a large number of infected individuals shouldn't have appeared here.

After all, there was the Great Wall outside acting as a natural barrier.

However, the Great Wall was not without entry points, they were just very well-hidden.

This time, being led by someone, they found those entrances directly.

That was why so many infected monsters had swarmed in.

If no one had led them, it was estimated that so many monsters wouldn't have run inside.

"You captured that group of people."

"Where are they now?"

"They weren't killed by you, were they?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye developed a sliver of interest in the group that had been captured.

He wondered what kind of people they were to be able to lead so many infected individuals here.

Or perhaps, was their identity very special?

Tu Donghai hurriedly shook his head; fortunately, he hadn't killed anyone indiscriminately.

Otherwise, it would have been truly difficult to explain when asked about this matter.

"Your Highness, we did not kill them."

"We did not understand their language, and we were afraid it would affect our combat."

"Therefore, we locked them all in the prison."

"We wanted to wait until Your Highness and the others arrived before making a decision."

Tu Donghai's handling of this matter won the admiration of everyone present.

Fortunately, he hadn't killed them; if he had, it would have been truly bad.

The trail of clues would have been completely severed.

"You lad are not bad, you actually didn't kill those people."

"If it weren't for them, I estimate the Liaoyang County City would still be very safe right now."

Wang Li cast an appreciative look at him, not forgetting to praise him a few times.

The way this matter was handled was absolutely correct.

Tu Donghai smiled sheepishly; these were just simple matters, not worth mentioning.

"Your Highness, should we bring them out to see you now?"

Liaoyang could now be considered safe.

Whatever the matter, it was best for His Highness to decide.

He only needed to obediently execute orders.

Ying Ying Zi Ye thought for a while and shook his head; there was no need to rush for the moment.

"Bring them over after the matter is settled."

"There is no rush for now, let's go up to the city wall and take a look first."

After Ying Ying Zi Ye finished speaking, he lifted his legs and walked toward the stairs.

"Your Highness, there might be danger on the city wall."

Wang Li followed behind and offered a reminder.

"What danger could there be?"

"They don't have weapons."

Ying Ying Zi Ye smiled dismissively.

Whether it was inside the city or on the city wall, it was all the same to him.

"It seems... that is the case."

Wang Li chuckled foolishly and also quickened his pace to follow.

General Meng Tian Tian and the others naturally did not fall behind, and they all walked toward the city wall.

Outside the city.

In the dark night sky.

Sparse starlight flickered.

Near the city wall, there were still some spots of firelight.

Looking down from a high vantage point, one could see the situation below.

As soon as Ying Ying Zi Ye saw this scene below the city, he was stunned.

This tragic scene was truly... too ghastly to look at!

Seeing this scene, a term naturally popped into Ying Ying Zi Ye's mind—Zombie Siege!

It was too similar, extremely like certain scenes from later generations.

Those infected by the Life-Death Grass below had long since become unrecognizable.

Some of their faces were already rotting, and one could vaguely see insects wriggling on them.

The scene was extremely unsuitable for viewing.

If someone with a weak heart saw this, they would likely be scared to the point of wetting themselves.

The clothes of every infected individual were tattered.

Those missing limbs or crippled were not in the minority.

Perhaps they sensed the aura of living people, and they all wanted to climb over the wall and enter.

They wanted to swallow the flesh and blood of the living into their stomachs.

Therefore, countless infected individuals swarmed over, all crowding together.

In the middle of the night, it was impossible to tell how many infected individuals were present.

Among them were the attire of Gija State people, as well as the attire of Great Qin subjects.

It could be seen that not all of those below were Gija State people; there were also many Great Qin subjects.

Among them were men and women, and even small children.

The pile of corpses outside the city was already one or two meters high.

Those infected individuals still charged up without fear of death.

The tragic atmosphere, the spirit of not fearing death, and the terrifying impact force.

All of this indicated that these infected individuals were not comparable to ordinary people.

These infected people did not fear pain, did not fear fatigue, and most importantly, did not fear death.

It was also difficult to kill them, unless one blew their heads off or chopped off their heads.

Otherwise, they remained in a vigorous state.

If the quantity was sufficient, leaping over the wall like stacking arhats was only a matter of time.

It was a pity he hadn't brought fire oil this time; otherwise, a fire would surely have burned many of the infected to death.

"There are still too few archers."

"Order them to dispatch two more rows of archers up here."

Ying Ying Zi Ye looked at the city wall surface, which was over three meters wide, yet only two rows of soldiers were firing arrows continuously.

This number was still too small; the number of people they had brought was certainly not small.

Because of the space constraints, many soldiers could not be put to use.

They could only wait below for deployment.

As for the soldiers standing on the city wall, it was estimated there were only one or two tens of thousands.

The total length of the Liaoyang City West Gate city wall was not small, roughly three or four li in length.
