Chapter 1721

~6 min read 1,012 words

Being afraid of fire could still be understood; once burned by fire, they would definitely be burned away.

However, hearing that the infected were afraid of water was truly the first time.

He really didn't know how His Highness knew so many secrets.

If it were up to them to discover this secret, he didn't know how long it would take to discover it.

If things went poorly, they might not even discover this secret.

If they couldn't discover this secret, they wouldn't have a better way to deal with the infected.

These infected did not fear death and would also infect people.

Close-quarters combat was never an unwise move.

It's so good now; they don't even need to come into contact to eliminate them.

Han Xin didn't dare to ask His Highness how he knew this secret.

As long as he knew those infected were all dead, that was enough.

The surrounding soldiers heard this news, and their minds relaxed all at once.

So many infected died last night.

It wasn't like they guessed, entering a dormant state upon encountering water or something.

This was good news.

Last night, they saw those infected fall into the water and stop moving.

They even thought they entered a dormant state upon encountering water.

It turned out this wasn't as simple as dormancy; they died directly.

That's great; it's good that they died; for every infected that dies, there's one less.

In the future, it would be more convenient for them to deal with the infected.

As time goes on, the infected will only become fewer and fewer.

The benefits of this to them were too great.

Someone quickly spread this news to the side.

The soldiers who learned this news were also extremely excited.

Last night, they were still worried about those infected who fell into the water.

Now that they learned this news, they didn't need to think so much at all.

The soldiers who learned this news immediately cheered and jumped for joy.

The tense atmosphere was swept away.

The soldiers were leisurely making breakfast.

After eating breakfast.

Everyone began to wait.

Waiting for His Highness's arrangements.

In a temporary camp tent.

Meng Tian, Han Xin, and the others were reporting on what happened last night.

Ying Ying Zi Ye sat to the side, quietly savoring tea.

He didn't know the details of what happened last night, but he knew the general idea.

After the two finished reporting the matter.

They began to ask what needed to be done today.

They had no clue for the time being.

Since His Highness was here, it was better to ask for His Highness's advice.

If His Highness were not here, then they would have to make the decision.

"According to the original plan, we were to attack cities and seize land."

"Find a city to defend and attract the surrounding infected to come."

"Kill without mercy upon encountering infected."

"But you all also know that those infected hide during the day."

"Only at night or when the temperature is low will they appear."

"Now, there are still some days until the temperature is low; it's definitely impossible to wait until then."

"Searching for surrounding cities definitely isn't as good as here; let's just rest and reorganize here for the time being."

Ying Ying Zi Ye's words left everyone present stunned.

Not looking for cities anymore?

What are they staying here for?

Their purpose in coming was to sweep away the infected here.

Now that they just arrived, are they not fighting anymore?

Some people were puzzled and didn't know what was going on.

"Your Highness, what is this rest and reorganization about?"

"Are we not clearing out the infected anymore?"

Meng Tian was puzzled; he was still thinking about killing more infected.

As a result, His Highness told him to rest and reorganize here for the time being?

This kind of clearing work definitely should be done as quickly as possible.

How could they drag it out?

"The clearing is still proceeding, but we can change the method."

"Plans are dead, but people are alive."

"We need to apply the plan flexibly."

"This place is a natural place that is easy to defend and hard to attack."

"First, rest and reorganize here and attract more infected to come."

"Once the surrounding infected are attracted here, then the surrounding infected will be fewer."

"When we go out, won't it be even safer?"

Ying Ying Zi Ye's idea was very simple.

This position now is very good, having the momentum of one man guarding the pass, ten thousand unable to open it.

As long as they guard this place, they won't fear how many infected come.

Going to other cities wouldn't be so good.

Guarding a city also required attacking.

If things went poorly, the city would be breached; the cities here were not that sturdy.

The energy required to guard a city was too much.

But it was completely different here.

No need to attack, as long as the infected come.

Falling into the water is the end of it; they don't need to worry about them much.

Therefore, Ying Ying Zi Ye changed his mind.

Just attract those infected here directly.

At the very least, they needed to attract the surrounding infected over.

When they go out, there will be many fewer infected.

Applying the plan flexibly is the wise move.

Everyone present heard these words and felt that it made quite a bit of sense.

There is water here, and those infected are all afraid of it; it's much better than city walls.

Defending on city walls also requires them to kill the enemy.

It's different here; as long as the infected fall into the water, it's fine.

Which is stronger and which is weaker can be distinguished immediately.

No one opposed these words of Ying Ying Zi Ye.

"Your Highness, do we still need to take advantage of the daytime to go out for a walk?"

Han Xin spoke at this time; after all, they didn't know much about the outside.
