Chapter 1098: More and More Outrageous! [Please Subscribe if You Want More Updates]
Northern Federation.
After receiving the news, Yuan Zhi sat on the sofa with a gloomy face and said nothing.
He felt uneasy for some reason.
He had encountered many enemies before, both before and after the apocalypse.
However, the enemies he had encountered before had never given him such a similar feeling.
That was because when he faced other enemies before, he could guess how those enemies would attack.
However, he couldn't understand the Oil City he faced this time.
Are you kidding?
Could it be that the people in the Oil City could really control the zombies?
Before it happened, he couldn't imagine how the people in the Oil City would control the zombies, and how many zombies they could control.
Everything was unclear.
It was precisely because of this uncertainty that he lost his calmness and composure in the past.
He felt a little regretful in his heart, why he chose this method.
But he couldn't blame others, because this choice was made by himself.
He sighed and said to Ma Song standing next to him:
"Let Han Li and the others come back. In addition, from now on, increase the number of patrol personnel and double the martial law of the wall!"
Ma Song hesitated and said: "Governor, we actually have a card in our hand. They want Hefeng and Su Qian. We might as well use this to threaten them."
Yuan Zhi was a little tempted, but shook his head and said:
"No, put yourself in their shoes. If I were the leader of Oil City, I would never affect the big strategy because of these people. After these two contacts, I don't think this Li Yu is someone who is so easily threatened."
When Ma Song heard Yuan Zhi say this, he felt that there was some truth in it, so he didn't interrupt again, but arranged it according to Yuan Zhi's opinion.
After receiving the message from Ma Song, Han Li immediately drove a helicopter back to the Northern Federation.
This trip was as good as not coming, wasting time.
The deployment of troops and generals, the action of thousands of troops wasted a lot of fuel.
They ran around in several places, not to mention seeing the people of Oil City, they didn't even see a hair.
There is no doubt that they were fooled.
However, this was still caused by their intention to ambush others.
This dumb loss can only be eaten by themselves.
Until now, the word "reason" has always been in the hands of the people in Oil City.
After all, from the beginning, it was because Sima Xi of the Northern Federation was so unlucky that he wanted to find a soft persimmon to squeeze, but he never thought that he would kick such a huge and hard iron plate.
There is no way, just return to the Northern Federation and talk about it later.
On the way back, Liu Wei felt very aggrieved. In order to come out this time, he prepared many mortars and towed artillery, but he didn't fire a single shot.
"Brother Wei, are we going back like this? The fight hasn't started yet?" A subordinate next to Liu Wei asked.
"What can we do if we don't go back? Do you know where the people in Oil City are now? Ah?" Liu Wei said angrily.
The subordinate stammered and muttered: "You know how to vent your anger on me, you have the ability"
"What did you say? Say it again!" Although Liu Wei didn't hear it clearly, he still heard a few words.
It was like a cat whose tail was stepped on, and it exploded.
Seeing him so angry, his subordinates waved their hands and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Wei Ge, calm down. When we find the people from Oil City, we will definitely kill them!"
"Shut up!" Liu Wei glared at him.
Then he pulled the collar on his neck irritably, "Open the window, I'm suffocating!"
The air outside was very cold, but the subordinates didn't dare to disobey him, so they opened the window.
The wind outside the window blew in, making the people in the car shiver with cold.
But no one dared to raise any objections, because they knew that Wei Ge was very angry, and if they ran into the muzzle of the gun, they might be scolded.
In this somewhat depressing atmosphere, the mighty convoy slowly drove towards the Northern Federation.
On the other side.
Lao Luo and others who evacuated from Gao City hurriedly ran back to the dilapidated factory building in Zhalin Industrial Park in Lai County from the small road, and successfully joined Li Yu and others.
"Now we just have to wait for Lao Bi and others to come back, and we will start tomorrow!" Li Yu said after seeing Lao Luo.
Lao Luo nodded vigorously and said with a smile:
"I am looking forward to the moment tomorrow when millions of zombies will surround the Northern Federation!"
Li Yu shook his head and said: "Millions of zombies? You underestimate the power of the potion. Tomorrow I will not use Type II potion, but Type III potion. There may be more than millions, but tens of millions of zombies."
"However, it may not arrive tomorrow. It may take a few days, or even a week or two to completely attract the nearby zombies."
Lao Luo widened his eyes and screamed: "Tens of millions!!!"
Tens of millions of zombies, what kind of picture would that be?
He couldn't imagine it.
Li Yu had his reasons for saying so.
So far, the Type III zombie attracting potion has not really exerted its power, nor has it been truly tested.
Theoretically, the power of the Type III potion will be several times greater than that of the Type II, so the range that can be attracted is up to 200 kilometers.
What is the concept of a radius of 200 kilometers?
That almost covers the most densely populated area in the north before the end of the world.
The population base is a terrifying number.
When the end of the world comes, the number of zombies will definitely not be small.
Just thinking about this scene makes people tremble with fear.
"Contact Lao Bi and Zhu Xiao and ask where they are." Li Yu said to Li Tie behind him.
"Okay." Li Tie picked up the walkie-talkie to contact Lao Bi and others.
Lao Bi is in a town under Lai County, so the speed will be faster.
Zhu Xiao is farther away from them.
Time flows slowly.
In a blink of an eye, it was evening.
Li Yu walked out of the temporary command post and saw that there was no sign of Zhu Xiao and others outside, so he asked: "Is Zhu Xiao not back yet?"
Guo Peng hurriedly said: "He just contacted me and has arrived in Lai County. He will be here soon."
"Okay." Li Yu nodded slightly.
A few hours ago, Lao Bi had returned here, and now only Zhu Xiao and others were missing.
It was already evening. If Zhu Xiao hadn't arrived yet, he would have to risk being discovered and send someone to drive a helicopter out to pick them up.
The world after dark is very dangerous.
Besides, there are still things to do tomorrow, and we must not delay important things because of this reason.
Ten minutes later.
Just as it was getting dark, Zhu Xiao and his team returned to Lai County.
In the command post, Li Yu watched everyone arrive.
He began to arrange tomorrow's combat mission:
"Uncle San, I will let Lao Luo go with you to fly the helicopter tomorrow during the day, try to fly at a low altitude, and I will give you the medicine and heavy artillery."
"Lao Bi, Hua Chen, Zhu Xiao, your three tasks are to get close to the Northern Federation, attract their attention, and cover the actions of Uncle San and his team."
"Don't fight with them. Once the helicopter on the opposite side takes off, run immediately."
"Is there anything unclear?"
Everyone nodded and said, "No problem."
"Okay, then it's decided. At that time, we will move our position and retreat to Jinggui Mountain 50 kilometers away to wait for you to come back."
At night.
Li Yu left the military radio. He had just communicated with the Dazhangshu Base and Oil City to exchange information.
There was nothing wrong with Oil City, but South Paradise would come to trade with them again in a few days.
There were Xiao Jun, Ju Tianrui and others in Oil City, and a helicopter was left, so there shouldn't be any problems.
In the camphor tree base, the construction of the fourth outer city will be completed in two weeks.
After so long, it can finally be finished.
The Northern Federation.
The clouds are thick with worry.
The Northern Federation has many people and complicated people. Some people in the inner city were promoted from the outer city.
The truth cannot be hidden. The news that people from the oil city came to cause trouble has been spread by the people in the outer city.
In addition, a large number of combat personnel from the Northern Federation went out today, which aroused many people's discussions.
Some people also saw He Feng and others being taken away today.
Sima Xi vowed to lead the army to the oil city, and then fled back to the Northern Federation alone in disgrace.
Everything was seen by those who were interested, and various versions of speculation were generated.
"Have you heard? Didn't our Northern Federation take many people out? I heard they were defeated!"
"Defeated? Who was the enemy?"
"Who else could it be? The people from Oil City. You don't know, right? Let me tell you, didn't Sima Xi take people south a while ago? He was looking for that Oil City. He was going to take Oil City, but he was beaten down by someone. Today, the governor sent people out to fight with the people from Oil City, and they lost."
"Who said that? How do you know we lost?"
"Didn't you see that their expressions were as ugly as if they had eaten shit?"
"That makes sense."
When there are many people, sometimes rumors get more and more outrageous.
Later, it became several other versions.
"I heard from my cousin's aunt that the people in Oil City can control zombies and will soon control zombies to surround our Northern Federation."
"What? Who do you think my cousin's aunt is? You know the patrol captain, Anshan, he told my cousin's aunt. My cousin's aunt is his mother. The news is absolutely reliable!"
"Then what should we do? Are we finished? I don't want to be eaten by zombies!"
"Just run away with the bucket, what else can we do!"
In a short while, the news was spread everywhere.
And evolved into various versions
"I heard that the people in Oil City are very powerful and can control zombies! The people sent by the Governor today lost, and then our Northern Federation may change."
"The people in Oil City are all human zombies. I heard that they eat zombies, and then mutated, flying into the sky and into the ground, and they are invincible!"
"Oil City has developed zombie technology and can control zombies as a means of transportation. I heard that there are people and zombies there who have combined to give birth to zombies. I asked a buddy in the helicopter brigade, and he said that the zombie man is five or six meters tall!"
"I tell you, this world is going to change."
"The world outside is changing too fast. I heard that the people in Oil City ride zombies, and everyone can spit fire, and defeated Han Li and his group who went out today."
The Northern Federation is like a toilet that is leaking everywhere.
Any small thing will be spread to the outside world, which is the disadvantage of having too many people.
Governor's Mansion.
Bang!
A teacup was thrown heavily to the ground.
Yuan Zhi looked at the people in front of him with a gloomy face.
"Tell me, who spread the news?" Yuan Zhi looked at the people in front of him viciously.
Standing in front of him were Fan Haiyang, Ma Song, Han Li, Wang An, An Shan, Chaoyuan, Liu Wei, Tian Yunxiao and others.
Those were the only people who had read the letter, there was no way anyone else knew about it.
In just two days, the news has spread throughout the inner and outer cities that Oil City is knocking on doors and can control zombies.
Especially today, they sent out a large army and then returned without success. When they came back, their morale was low, which only added fuel to the rumors.
If there are hot searches in the Northern Federation.
So regarding this news, it is definitely at the top of the hot search list.
Yin Xi hurriedly walked in, walked up to Yuan Zhi and said:
"The outer city has suppressed it, but the news has spread too widely, and many people in the outer city want to leave."
Yuan Zhi scolded: "Want to leave? Then let them go, it will be fine if they leave!"
Yin Xi hesitated and said, "Governor, think twice. If they leave here, they may never come back again."
Yuan Zhi calmed down and said, "I'm not saying this because I'm angry. It would be good for us to let them out. If the oil city can really control zombies, the rebellious people in the outer city will only become a factor of instability if they stay." ”
"If the people from Oil City retreat, these people will naturally come back!"
When Yin Xi heard what Yuan Zhi said, his eyes lit up, and he felt that what the governor said made sense.
"I understand, I'll make arrangements right away."
"Wait." Yuan Zhi suddenly stopped Yin Xi.
"What's Sima Dong's reaction?" Yuan Zhi asked.
Yin Xi thought for a while and then said: "They are a little strange. There are rumors flying everywhere, but they haven't made any movement."
Yuan Zhi frowned, feeling that something was not right, but after thinking for a long time, he could not figure out what was wrong.
So he said to Yin Xi: "Make an appointment with Sima Dong for me later. I want to talk to him."
Now that things have happened, everyone in the inner and outer cities knows about it. We can't hide it anymore, so why not have a frank and honest talk about it.
If that oil city is really that capable of controlling zombies, Sima Dong will need to help when the time comes to surround the wall.
"Okay, then I'll make an appointment with Sima Dong later. Governor, when will you have time?" Yin Xi asked.
Yuan Zhi looked at his watch and said, "In half an hour."
"Okay." Yin Xi nodded and left the office.
When he left, he also broke out in a cold sweat.
Because he also heard about the control of zombies in Oil City, and then he told the news to his biological sister.
Although he didn't know if it was his biological sister who said it, he had to remind his sister later.
office.
Yuan Zhi had a gloomy look on his face and glared at the people in front of him.
As of now, he still has not found out who spread the news.
If you follow the clues, you will only find a person guarding the gate of the inner city.
"Tell me, who is it?!" Yuan Zhi shouted angrily and looked at everyone.
Han Li, Tian Yunxiao, Liu Wei, An Shan and others in front of him were uneasy because they had indeed told people close to them about this matter.
Any news can be spread to ten people and hundreds of people.
Even if you specifically tell the person being listened to not to tell anyone.
But the fact is that the moment you tell others, any information you get from telling others means that everyone will probably know it.
After all, you can only control your own mouth, not other people's.
No one answered Yuan Zhi's question.
As silent as a cicada.
Yuan Zhi sighed, waved his hand and said, "Forget it!"
"I won't hold you accountable anymore. The most important thing right now is what to do!"
"Right now, the enemy is facing us, and people inside are panicking. What do you think we should do?"
Everyone looked at each other, but no one planned to be the first to speak.
"Ma Song, tell me!" No one said anything, so Yuan Zhi called his name.
Ma Song thought to himself: Why is it me again?
He thought for a few seconds and then said, "Governor, I don't think this is a bad thing! The point is how we can use this kind of public opinion to our advantage."
When Yuan Zhi heard that it was not a bad thing, he raised his eyebrows and asked curiously: "Tell me carefully."
Ma Song continued: "First of all, whether people in Oil City can control zombies is another matter. Maybe we will know in two days."
"However, with this kind of external pressure, internal unity will be promoted and all forces must be gathered to stop external enemies."
"It is even possible to incorporate Sima Dong's power under this pressure. You will have the final say in the future of the northern border."
"What we have to do now is to use this public opinion to demonize the people in Oil City and beautify your image. And emphasize that the people who ran out now have been killed by the people in Oil City. In this case, they In order to survive, there will definitely be fighting spirit.”
"We have so many people in the Northern Federation and we have taken advantage of it. Even if Oil City can control zombies, so what!"
This is very encouraging!
What he said made everyone present feel excited.
"Okay!" Yuan Zhi clapped his hands heavily and looked at Ma Song with deep appreciation.
Ma Song indeed lived up to his expectations, and the method he proposed was extremely feasible.
And it can also solve the problem that he has always wanted to solve.
The haze in front of me was lifted at this moment.
