Chapter 1701

~5 min read 944 words

During the day, most of them hide under houses or wooden boards.

And the city's population is dense, so there must be quite a few infected.

If one is uninformed, it wouldn't be good to enter the city recklessly.

When night falls, it's time for the demons to dance.

If one is uninformed, they would definitely be caught off guard.

Therefore, entering the city is not a wise move.

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nod.

This is a city, and now it has been destroyed to this extent.

Who knows how many people were in this city; it's estimated they were all ravaged by the infected.

If they dared to go in, it would be very ominous when night came.

They didn't know how many people were in the Jizi Kingdom's cities.

If it were Great Qin, a city as small as this one could house one hundred thousand people.

If it were a bit crowded, three hundred thousand wouldn't be a problem.

But if everyone in the city turned into infected, just thinking about it feels terrifying.

It's just that one doesn't know how many infected are hiding inside.

"But if we don't enter the city, where else can we go?"

A general frowned; it seemed there was nowhere else to go if they didn't enter the city.

Their primary task now is to find a place to stand.

Otherwise, it's unavoidable when night comes.

The daytime here is very safe, but it's completely different when night falls.

Therefore, a place to stand is the most important thing.

As for where to stand, Ying Ying Zi Ye didn't know either.

After all, he was here for the first time too.

He was not familiar with this place at all.

"Bring some captives over."

"Ask them if they have any recommended places to stay."

Ying Ying Zi Ye was helpless and could only find the captives.

"That's right, how could we forget that scarred man."

Han Xin clapped his hands and immediately walked toward the scarred man's location.

Not long after, six or seven captives were brought up.

"Greetings, my lord. I don't know what business you have with us."

The scarred man also knew that this young man before him was the true leader.

Therefore, he was very obedient, only wanting to survive.

He still remembered how his companions were killed for no reason.

He didn't even know why they were killed, and half of their manpower was lost in an instant.

This made the scarred man even more cautious, fearing that he would be the next one to have an accident.

Therefore, he was nothing but obedient and dared not resist at all.

Ying Ying Zi Ye didn't speak.

Seeing this scene, Han Xin understood in a second.

What is His Highness's status; how could he question a small character?

So he stood out very consciously.

"This general asks you, what kind of broken city is this?"

"Why is it so broken?"

"Why are they all wooden cities?"

"Is your Jizi Kingdom that poor?"

"Don't tell me all the cities are wooden cities like this?"

Han Xin asked five questions in a row, directly making the scarred man look foolish.

The scarred man was stunned by the questions.

Originally, he thought these officials would ask some regional questions.

Who knew they would directly ask about this city.

"Answering the lord, this place is broken because it was ravaged by those patients."

"This is a small border city, and it's relatively poor here, so they are all these wooden cities."

"There aren't many wooden cities in the Jizi Kingdom."

"If you continue forward, there are city walls built of stone."

"Only stockades and small cities are built of wood."

"Those larger cities are all built of stone."

Upon hearing this, people couldn't help but nod.

This makes sense; after all, it is a small border city.

It is understandable that the city walls are built of wood.

If the real cities were also built of wood...

... then the Jizi Kingdom would be too disappointing.

Fortunately, not all cities are these kinds of wooden cities.

That means they have a chance to capture a stone city.

Now that this is a wooden city, it's useless for them to occupy it.

After all, the city walls are wooden; if many infected come to attack, how can this be defended?

"This city is useless to us."

"Is there any place to stay around here?"

"Or are there any other cities nearby?"

"Take us to find the next city, preferably with stone city walls."

Han Xin looked at the broken city before him and shook his head in regret.

If the city walls weren't so broken, they could consider going in to spend the night.

As long as the infected inside were cleared out, it would be fine.

But these city walls are too broken and no longer have the value of holding out.

If they hold out here tonight, the difficulty will be much higher.

After all, many city walls have already collapsed.

One look at these city walls shows they can't resist those infected.

Otherwise, these city walls wouldn't have collapsed like this.

Only a large number of infected rushing over, other than stone walls...

... wooden walls being knocked down is only a matter of time.

"This..."

The scarred man was somewhat speechless.

He had already said before coming that this was the closest city.

The next city is still far away.

How could they find it all of a sudden?

And there is no place to stay around here.

The surroundings here are all plains, and there are few places to hide.
