Han Xin could only comfort himself this way.

This was a matter that couldn't be helped.

"Let's go, we should also set off."

"Before dark, we must find a safe place."

"There might be few infected in the surroundings; the faster we go, the better."

This time, General Meng Tian Tian did not intend to take the infantry with them.

Doing so would only slow down their speed.

Therefore, everyone who set off was cavalry.

The infantry would temporarily remain here and wait.

This was also His Highness's instruction; this method was actually quite good.

Once they found a safe place, they would send someone back to notify the infantry.

Tens of thousands of infantry were logistics soldiers, and also an indispensable part.

It was just that before finding a safe place, the infantry would not move together.

After all, compared to warhorses, the infantry's speed was too slow.

Every cavalryman carried some dry rations.

This time, since the infantry was not going together, their meals became a problem.

They could only quickly find a safe place and then notify the infantry to head over.

The great army set off, advancing in one direction.

The cavalry's momentum was grand, with dust flying all around.

From far away, one could feel the tremors here.

If there were still living, normal people in the surroundings, they would certainly be able to feel the movement here.

But the citizens of the Gija Kingdom had all been scared out of their wits.

Those who were still alive had all found places to hide.

They didn't dare to come out and wander at all.

It was only because they had the map and the Scarred Man leading the way.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even know which direction to walk in.

A day passed very quickly, and they had advanced nearly a hundred miles.

The cities seen along the way were few; most were barren hills.

The villages had also been destroyed seven or eight out of ten; there were no normal villages.

Normal living people in the Gija Kingdom were rarely seen; there were almost none.

One didn't know if they had all gathered in their capital or fled somewhere else.

The Scarred Man didn't know this either, so he could only bury his head and hurry on his way.

In the afternoon.

The soldiers scouting ahead reported.

They said they had discovered a city ahead.

The city was intact and undamaged; it looked like it had not been broken through.

This was a city of normal living people.

Outside the city walls, there were still many people digging pits and making traps.

General Meng Tian Tian and the others were all stunned upon hearing this.

They had originally thought there would be no more living people in the Gija Kingdom.

Who knew they would discover a city that had not been broken through.

And outside the city walls, there were still people digging traps.

There were also many corpses of the infected outside the city.

General Meng Tian Tian and the others learned of this news.

They rushed to that city immediately.

Before a large city.

General Meng Tian Tian and the others stopped.

This city was larger and more complete than any city they had seen before.

This city was the same scale as a slightly larger commandery city of the Great Qin.

It was estimated that the city could accommodate forty or fifty thousand people.

Most importantly, this was a city wall built of stone.

This made one surprised; this city was not simple.

They had not seen such a city in the Gija Kingdom before.

In the Gija Kingdom, there were likely not many such cities.

Seeing this scene, General Meng Tian Tian and the others could not help but be surprised.

This was truly strange.

One wondered how many people were inside?

And they even knew how to dig traps outside the city?

Then it seemed these people also had a way to deal with the infected.

Night was the time when the infected appeared; they came out during the day to dig traps.

In this way, they could prevent many infected from approaching.

If there was enough food inside, they could likely hold out for a long time.

Those digging traps outside the city should be ordinary commoners.

Seeing so many cavalry appear suddenly, they were scared silly.

Many people even fled directly back into the city.

The emotion of panic is contagious; someone took the lead in fleeing.

The remaining people also fled one after another.

The commoners digging traps ran into the city all at once.

The city gates were also slowly closed. ===== CHAPTER 1736 =====
