Apocalypse Awakening

Chapter 137
With a flash of sword light, a human head fell to the ground.

Scarlet blood was scattered all over the ground, Ning Qiu put away the big sword.

He didn't want to kill, and he didn't like to kill, but he didn't feel any guilt in killing this kind of person.

……

After dawn, they left the deserted town.

Nandu is more than 800 kilometers away from Kyoto. According to some people, it takes about ten days for an experienced driver to arrive. For people like Ning Qiu and Jiang Ling, it should take about 20 days. time.

The registration time for Huaxia Newcomer King is one month later, but Ning Qiu is not in a hurry.

"From the map, it looks like there are still about [-] kilometers before we can reach Yancheng." Ning Qiu sat in the passenger seat with a map in his hand.

It has been the sixth day since they set off from Nancheng. The fuel stored in the car has been used up. Looking at the fuel gauge, the car can go about [-] kilometers, so they have to go to the nearest city to replenish.

Yancheng is not big, it is a small city. It is said that more than 20 years ago, it was just a gathering place for scavengers. Later, as the population increased, the government sent the military to collect it. The main reason is that it is near Yancheng. Rich tungsten ore resources have been found in the mountains of China.

It was already nine o'clock in the evening when we arrived in Yancheng. The city was smaller than Ning Qiu imagined. The city wall was about ten meters high and looked very thin.

The northwest of Yancheng is surrounded by mountains, and there is a small city gate in the east.

"The city gate seems to be closed?" The armored vehicle drove down the city, but they found that the city gate of Yancheng was closed tightly at this time, and there were many roadblocks outside the city.

Later, they found many soldiers standing on the city wall.

"Hey! Can you open the city gate?" Ning Qiu got out of the car and shouted at the soldiers above.

I don't know what happened, the walls of Yancheng were already full of soldiers, and each of them held a gun in their hands, as if they were on guard.

Qi Lan is the commander-in-chief of the Yancheng Military Region. In terms of military rank, he belongs to the rank of lieutenant general.

The strength of Yancheng is small, only about [-], and there is no branch of the Awakened Alliance in the city.

"You guys hurry up, the city gate cannot be opened, there is a wave of corpses coming from the northeast, run away quickly." Qi Lan looked at Ning Qiu below, and said loudly.

"Corpse tide?" Ning Qiu frowned.

They will only stay in Yancheng for one night, and continue to go north after dawn, but they did not expect to encounter such a bad thing.

Ning Qiu opened the map and found that the route they were going to travel seemed to be in the northeast direction.

There have been no zombies outside the city, and the surrounding area is very quiet. This may be a sign of a storm.

"We are awakened people from Nandu. We need to replenish supplies. Please open the city gate." Ning Qiu continued to shout.

When he heard that it was an awakened person, Qi Lan's eyes lit up, because in Yancheng, the awakened person is quite rare, and it can even be said that there are very few.

However, when he took a closer look, the other party didn't seem to be very old, he looked only seventeen or eighteen years old, and he must not be very strong.

Qi Lan hesitated for a long time, but seeing that the tide of corpses had not yet arrived, he sent someone to open the city gate.

After entering the city, Ning Qiu found that not only the city walls, but even the people in the city took up weapons one after another, as if they were going to fight the zombies to the death.

After parking the armored vehicle, Ning Qiu and Jiang Ling came to the city wall.

"Are there a lot of zombies?"

"Well, according to the investigation two hours ago, there are about ten thousand zombies." Qi Lan said.

Ning Qiu nodded after hearing the words. In fact, nearly ten thousand zombies are not too many. When he was in Shaoguan City, the corpse tide was completely overwhelming, and there were at least 10,000+.

But Yancheng naturally cannot be compared with Shaoguan City. Their population here is not large, and their military force is very weak, so there are nearly [-] zombies. For them, it feels like a last stand.

Yancheng has a population of less than [-]. Although it sounds like a lot, in fact, if the zombies break through the city, most of these people will be useless.

Especially in the face of advanced zombies, I am afraid that ten ordinary people may not be the opponent of an advanced zombie.

In the last days, zombies are like the natural enemies of human beings. Many people dare not face them directly, and they tremble with fright just by seeing them.

"Go get your guns too," Qi Lan said.

To be honest, he was not very optimistic about this man and woman, thinking that they were too young, and it would be good if they would not be so frightened that their hands and feet would go weak when faced with a wave of corpses.

Qi Lan is the commander of the Yancheng army, and he can be regarded as the commander of the city. He came here when he was 30 years old, and it has been more than 20 years now.

The original Yancheng was not what it is now. It can be said that Qi Lan is the biggest contributor to this city today.

He married a wife and had children here, started a family and started a business, and now this is his home.

For more than 20 years, Yancheng has never encountered a wave of corpses for a long time. Among them, there were several groups of corpses, large and small, but they all passed through very smoothly.

Qi Lan's prestige in Yancheng is quite high, and he is loved by the people.Before this wave of corpses came, Qi Lan had already notified everyone, and hurriedly escaped, because he felt that with their meager strength, they might not be able to resist this wave of corpses.

Of course, there are quite a few people who chose to flee, but 80.00% of them chose to stay and live and die with Yancheng.

Because once they leave Yancheng, they will be homeless, and it is still a question of whether other safe cities will take them in.

Perhaps, in the end, they can only become wandering scavengers.

"How many awakened people do you have?" Ning Qiu asked curiously.

Qi Lan glanced at him, and then said: "If you include you, there are five people in total."

Hearing this, Ning Qiu almost fell to the ground.

What?Just five people?Then you play wool?
Qi Lan smiled bitterly, because he understood Ning Qiu's expression, and then said: "There is still time for you to leave now."

Ning Qiu looked at Jiang Ling, meaning to ask for her opinion.

Logically speaking, it is the duty of every awakened person to defend the city and protect fellow human beings.

Judging from Yancheng's current strength, it would be impossible to resist the tide of corpses.

Personally, he felt that he could quickly replenish supplies and leave. After all, this city had nothing to do with them, so there was no need to stay and work hard.

"Huh! You little ghosts should leave as soon as possible, anyway, I don't think you will be of much use." A major general beside Qi Lan said with disdain when he saw Ning Qiu's expression.

"If you don't want to stay, get out early, and don't hinder us here." Another major general snorted coldly.

The two of them are Qi Lan's right and left hands, and the only two major generals in Yancheng, and they are both awakened, just juniors.

Ning Qiu didn't bother to talk to them, but asked for Jiang Ling's opinion.

"Leave it, after all, I am also a member of the military." Jiang Ling finally said.

Ning Qiu was a little stunned when he heard this, but he guessed that Jiang Ling had a background, including his grandfather Jiang Wenming, who should have been a high-level figure when he was young.

But he did not expect that Jiang Ling would have a relationship with the military.

"That's okay, stay here if you stay, anyway, it's not a huge wave of corpses, if there is any danger, let's run away." Ning Qiu shrugged.

Ning Qiu's words made the other people quite upset when they heard it. They were ready to go, fighting to the death with the mentality of fighting to the death, but when they came to Ning Qiu, they didn't seem to take it seriously.

"Hmph! Sneak? I don't think you've seen a wave of corpses, have you? Don't be scared to pee your pants later." A major general said.

"Don't talk to me, I'm obsessed with cleanliness." Ning Qiu glared at that guy, thinking that this guy is crazy, could it be that he was jealous when he saw that he was more handsome than him?
"you……"

Qi Lan raised her hand and signaled that subordinate not to say any more. After all, they are also awakened ones, and they can always add more combat power to Yancheng.

At this time, there was already a buzzing sound from the distant land, which was the footsteps and low growls of zombies.

"Here we come!" Qi Lan's expression froze, and he ordered everyone to load their bullets and prepare for the battle.
