Chapter 401
Colonel Zhang is very young compared to his military rank, but he is very calm. He is a son of a military family and has received good enough training since he was a child.

He said: "Just now I was notified to treat Major General Ye and his party well. However, there is a lack of supplies at the frontier front, so I'm afraid I don't have anything good to entertain you two."

Seeing his meticulous look, Ye Li suddenly smiled and said, "It's okay, I just want to go to this city wall with a feeling, can I trouble Colonel Zhang to arrange a guide for us?"

Who knew that the colonel said with a flat face: "All the soldiers in my department have responsibilities. They must guard this lonely mountain fortress. If you have a little spare time, let me take the two of you for a tour." Come here."

Ye Li was taken aback for a moment, then said gently: "That's troublesome."

Colonel Zhang didn't say much, and walked outside with the two of them.

In fact, his office is located at the top of the Lonely Mountain Fortress. After pushing the door and walking out, there is a steel city wall, which means that the guard eats and sleeps at the front line.

In the office just now, facing the city wall is a floor-to-ceiling toughened glass, which can be seen clearly from the inside and outside.

This situation undoubtedly increased the seriousness of the dragon soldiers on duty and night watch on the city wall, so that the dragon soldiers on duty were always vigilant.

The only bad thing is that this will put a lot of psychological pressure on the defenders in the office.

If the psychological endurance is poor, I am afraid that it will not be able to bear it for a long time.

Ye Li walked to the city wall and looked around.

The steel city wall of this Gushan Fortress is eighteen kilometers wide, and it can't be seen to the left or right.

On such a wide city wall, five thousand defenders scattered on it seemed rather sparse.

Ye Li sighed: "Colonel Zhang, you have worked hard, can you defend such a long city wall?"

Colonel Zhang said blankly: "It's nothing. Most of the time, it only needs 1000 people to patrol and guard on it. Others can take turns to rest."

Ye Li asked: "Then is there any danger?"

Colonel Zhang said: "We will use drones to conduct reconnaissance of the entire Gushan Corridor every once in a while, and it is absolutely possible to give an early warning [-] kilometers in advance."

"The speed of the walking corpse is just that. It will take an hour to run [-] kilometers faster, which is enough for us to deploy targeted defenses."

Ye Li nodded after hearing this, and asked again: "But what if there are large-scale walking corpses crowding over?"

Colonel Zhang said: "That's easy, we mobilize all 5000 people, and then have heavy fire coverage from the rear to suppress."

"If it doesn't work anymore, the brother troops in the rear will reinforce and replace them at any time."

Ye Li nodded after listening.

"It sounds foolproof," he said.

Colonel Zhang twitched, and then brought Ye Li and Ye Xiaoyu to the front of the steel city wall and said: "There is no defense that is foolproof. In fact, this place has been breached once."

Ye Li asked in surprise: "What's going on?"

Colonel Zhang said: "That was a time when a giant walking corpse attacked the city defenses. The giant corpse was more than six meters tall and was burning with the flames of hell. It almost completely demolished our city walls."

"At the same time, many ignited walking corpses climbed onto the wall on the giant corpse's back, and the Lonely Mountain Fortress almost fell."

Ye Xiaoyu swallowed hard while listening, and then asked: "Then, how did you hold on?"

Colonel Zhang twitched again, and he said: "The guard at that time called for artillery cover, and under the concentrated fire of the heavy artillery from the rear, he finally killed the giant corpse under the city wall."

"In that battle, out of the 400 dragon soldiers stationed here, only [-] people survived."

"Their guards also died under the fire of their own people..."

Ye Li looked at Colonel Zhang in front of him still expressionless, but his emotional spectrum had turned to a sad gray tone.

Obviously the guard who died at that time was his acquaintance.

Ye Li looked down in the direction where Colonel Zhang was standing...

As a result, I saw the city wall full of mottled and scratches, and the huge rotting skeleton on the ground at the foot of the city wall.

"It stinks."

Ye Xiaoyu covered her nose.

Colonel Zhang twitched the corner of his mouth and said: "The smell is not good, let's go down."

Ye Li waved his hand and said, "What does it mean to go down here?"

Ye Xiaoyu pouted lightly and said, "Okay, then I'll let the smell dissipate."

After the words fell, she gently blew on the outside of the wall.

It didn't take long for that fragrant breath to bring a gust of clear wind, blowing down from the wall of the Lonely Mountain Fortress, blowing away the disgusting stench on the wall.

Seeing this, Ye Li couldn't help but praised: "Xiao Yu, are you using your breath to drive the wind of nature?"

"Amazing!"

He praised with a thumbs up.

Ye Xiaoyu felt shy after being praised, and then said: "It's not that good, it's still not as good as my brother and sister Qin."

As the most talented person in the Ye family, she really doesn't have much confidence in front of her father and brother.

But Colonel Zhang next to him was different. Feeling the cool breeze on his face and the rare good air, he couldn't help but said, "Thank you, at least the brothers on the wall can enjoy the long-lost good air for a while."

Ye Xiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and she said: "Yes, everyone here has to endure this smell..."

Now they were walking across the broad wall.

As we walked, we passed a group of patrolling soldiers.

Ye Li heard a few heavy gasps and an uncontrollable low cough from behind.

The heavy breathing is because these soldiers have nasal congestion, and the suppressed cough is because they have to hold back when they see the officer passing by...

Ye Li suddenly stopped and turned around, looked at the soldiers and asked, "Do they feel unwell?"

Colonel Zhang said expressionlessly: "It's only natural. Staying in this ghostly place, those walking corpses exude a strong plague, and within a month, the elite who were originally fierce and fierce will become sick."

Ye Li frowned and asked, "Will a sick dragon pawn become a walking corpse?"

Colonel Zhang's face suddenly became very gloomy.

He obviously resisted this question, but because Ye Xiaoyu's behavior of blowing the wind on the wall just now made him very fond of it.

He could only say with a gloomy face: "As long as you don't die in this city, you can go back and rest for a while and you'll be fine."

The implication is that if an infected soldier dies in a state of plague, will he still turn into a walking corpse?
Ye Li nodded thoughtfully and said, "Where do the soldiers usually rest?"

Colonel Zhang said, "It's in the barracks under the wall."

He turned his head and pointed down.

Ye Li turned his head and looked down, and saw that there was indeed a row of barracks below.

But standing on the high ground at this time, the situation of the entire Gushan Fortress was completely reflected in front of his eyes.

This side facing the Gushan Corridor is an eighteen-kilometer-long and eight-meter-high wall.

And under this high wall is the camp area, surrounded by steel plate walls, that is, the height is only three meters.

Colonel Zhang led them down the steel ladder next to them, and at the same time introduced: "Did you see those board walls?"

"Actually, it's not just our camp here, it's the same in the whole western plateau where there are garrisons, even the refugee camp."

Ye Li hesitated after hearing this, and then asked: "Will those walking corpses come over the mountain?"

Colonel Zhang said: "There will be, but not many."

Ye Li couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable when he heard the words, this border is really hard to defend.
