The last emperor

Chapter 42
Now there is an urgent problem that needs to be dealt with. The sluice must be opened to let water flow down to water the fields. If there is no water, the crops in the fields may die of drought.

But opening the gate now will undoubtedly take a great risk. If the inference is correct, judging from the zombies killed recently, the zombies in Guangyuan Village are all entering the end of the second stage, full of hunger and thirst for food, and any movement will attract their crazy pursuit.

Originally, Zhang Jin planned to carefully attract and slowly disperse and kill them every day. When entering the third stage, the zombies will remain still to conserve energy, like a dormant state. In this case, they can sneak through the corpses.

"According to this weather, how long can it last in the field?" Zhang Jin asked Fifth Master Lei.

Fifth Master Lei pinched his fingers to count the month and said: "I haven't seen any rain recently. I should have watered it a long time ago. Now the land should be dry and cracked. This drought-resistant one can last for half a month. Some people are afraid It can’t last ten days, or they will all die of drought.”

Zhang Jin settled down and said: "The soldiers have trained well recently, so I will speed up the cleaning of Guangyuan and try to find time to open the sluice gate within ten days."

Fifth Master Lei nodded, but saw Zhang Yao rushing in in a hurry.

As soon as Zhang Yao came in, she said anxiously: "Grandpa Fifth, Jiner, Sister Xi's mother is ill and needs medicine urgently. There is no medicine in our collection."

Zhang Jin asked, "What kind of medicine? Is it easy to find?"

Lei Wuye said: "Xi's mother's illness is inseparable from medicine, so she has been entrusting the health center of Guangpai to bring it back. If there is any, I guess it will be there."

Zhang Yao nodded and said, "Also, there are many people in the village who need to prepare medicines. Most of the medicines prepared these days are about to be finished, and they are all worried."

Zhang Jin's face turned serious when he heard that, medicine is indeed an important item next to food, and sometimes medicine is more difficult to obtain than food, so he asked, "Have you filed all the records?"

Zhang Yao nodded and said, "I have recorded everything."

Zhang Jin said: "How long can Xi's mother last?"

Zhang Yao frowned and said, "Her body hurts and she's short of breath even after taking off the medicine for her illness. She only lasted for two or three days after hearing Xixi's words, and if it's later..."

"I see." Zhang Jin nodded, this matter really needs to be resolved.

Fifth Lord Lei asked, "Have you got a solution?"

Zhang Jin hummed and said: "The village health center in Guangyuan should have a lot of medicines, and there are also those who like their parents. I will see the situation tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I will take people to the health center to find medicine."

Fifth Master Lei said in shock: "I heard that Guangyuan Village is full of zombies, and there are zombies everywhere outside. Does this work?"

Zhang Jin said: "We can only try it, Guangyuan Village is the only place where we have a chance."

"There is a village health center jointly owned by us and Guangyuan. The medicine is very complete, and now we can only try it. If it doesn't work, forget it. I believe everyone can understand, and I will explain it." Mr. Lei Wu said with a solemn expression. road.

Zhang Jin nodded.

Zhang Yao hurriedly said: "If you can go, take me with you. I have studied medicine and can identify various medicines."

Zhang Jin refused: "Even if we can go, it's extremely dangerous. It's too dangerous for you to follow. I'll bring back whatever you want."

Zhang Yao protested: "There are too many medicines, what do you know, and how much can you bring back? At least I can help you find urgently needed and necessary backup medicines. More valuable."

Zhang Jin looked at Zhang Yao silently. What Zhang Yao said was right. Even if they managed to get the medicine, they didn't know the medicine. Searching one by one would increase the danger, and it was impossible to take too much if they took it randomly. The result was this mission. The risks and rewards are not proportional.

To be honest, Zhang Yao was a little flustered when Zhang Jin looked at her with deep eyes. For the first time, she saw a strange feeling from the familiar Jiner, a sense of oppression that people couldn't face.

She refused to flinch and continued: "I know you think I have no fighting power to increase the danger, but we are not using it as a backup, but there are many people waiting to save lives. Now that we have gone, it will make the adventure more worthwhile. Don't you have the heart to come back? Do you see people who don't get urgently needed medicine and are in danger of suffering or even dying?"

"Yao'er." Fifth Master Lei yelled softly and said, "Zhang Jin is the village chief, he wants to consider the safety of the whole village, you go back first."

Zhang Yao stared at Zhang Jin who was still silent in dissatisfaction, and then walked out panting.

Lei Wuye smiled and said: "Don't be angry, children don't think too much about issues, I know you can judge things clearly, you are the one who decides this matter, if you can't go or leave something to me, sometimes some things have to be done as a last resort. I can only give up."

Zhang Jin nodded, and he went back to Juyi Hall to lie down and rest, thinking about the success rate if he went to Guangyuan Health Center.

From the current point of view, there are no mutant zombies, and there should not be many low-level evolutionaries. The number of zombies is about three hundred.

In terms of manpower, Chen Lie and Dan Ye didn't have a lot of pressure to deal with the group of corpses, Lei Zheng and Zhang Zhen were considered good fighters, and Yun Fei could drive to support them or continue to serve as sentries.

The only problem is that the zombies have a strong desire to forage recently. If there is an accident, the zombies from the two villages of Guangyuan may flock to them. In this case, all the soldiers will not be able to bring them with them.

The possible way to succeed is to sneak in a small team, kill as few zombies as possible, and sneak in with medicine and leave without disturbing the corpses.

Yun Fei came over and said, "Uncle, I heard from my aunt that there is a lack of medicine in the village, so we can only go to Guangyuan to find it. Are we going to go?"

Zhang Jin sat up and said, "Is this girl not crying?"

Yun Fei smiled and said: "It's not that rare, I blame my uncle for refusing to take her there, making Bai Qin and the others feel uneasy at all."

Zhang Jin smiled wryly, this girl couldn't hold her breath at all, and said to Yunfei: "Go to bed early, and tomorrow I will go to investigate Guangyuan Village at close range."

Yunfei nodded, a little excited in his heart, he rushed over as soon as he heard Zhang Yao's words, in order to participate, and he was able to go on an adventure with Zhang Jin to help everyone find medicine, just thinking about it was exciting.

Zhang Jin is full of worries. The failure may not only mean that he can't get the medicine or lose two people. It may cause a wave of corpses. But as long as the retreat is not perfect, the corpses will also be led to Heilongbao Village. The safe area will be abolished, and those fields will also be completely abandoned.

If you don't go, the fighting emotions that have just been mobilized will be frustrated. Whether people here raise their heads and bow their heads or kiss each other, negative emotions will easily flood.

Of course, if he chooses to manage with an iron fist, there will definitely be people who support him. He has done this in the past, and sometimes it is very effective and can avoid some unnecessary troubles, but there are also hidden dangers. Otherwise, why could Gao Fei easily The brothers who lived and died with him betrayed him.

"Choose forever is your own answer."

Zhang Jin thought of the old man who killed zombies and meditated on kindness. The old man told him that whenever the choice is made by yourself, it is your answer. Don't ask whether the choice is correct.
