Mortal Mirror

Chicken Cry Town, northeast direction, Willow Creek, is no more than ten li away from Chicken Cry Town.

At this moment, the village was in complete chaos, with many people carrying large and small bags running out of the village, and some people holding dung forks, hoes, shovels, and large knives, fighting with some white-haired zombies.

Those zombies were extremely agile, incredibly fast, and immensely powerful. Ordinary villagers were no match for them. A dozen fighting villagers were quickly pounced on by a group of white-haired zombies and had their blood sucked dry.

In a short while, a pile of corpses was left on the ground.

Before long, white hair began to grow on those corpses, and after a while, the corpses suddenly opened their eyes and stood up unsteadily, also turning into white-haired zombies.

This scene was all seen by Li Ergou's fireflies. He was horrified and couldn't help but think that with such a spread, it wouldn't be long before the entire Bitter Water County would be submerged by zombies.

Li Ergou and Huang San were currently standing on a thick branch of a large locust tree. Li Ergou described the situation detected by the fireflies to Huang San. Huang San's face was very ugly, and after a while, he said, "Alas, such a large-scale zombie disaster is probably beyond our control.

Look at those zombies, although they are only the lowest-level white-haired zombies, there are too many of them, and they can constantly infect others, turning living people into zombies. This is their real terror. Chicken Cry Town is finished. With our few people, going up is just suicide.

I think we should retreat now."

Li Ergou was slightly stunned, not expecting Huang San to retreat so quickly.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "At least we should wait for the folks in Chicken Cry Town to evacuate, otherwise, corpses will be everywhere."

Huang San was silent for a moment before saying, "Okay, Ergou, I'll listen to you, but if we can't hold on, I don't want to use the lives of our brothers to fill the gap."

Li Ergou didn't say much. After all, everyone was on equal footing, and it was already good that he could listen to some of his opinions. He wasn't so great that he would do something he knew was impossible. He wouldn't do that himself.

Then, he nodded and said, "Okay, we'll save whoever we can, and we'll do our best."

The two returned to Chicken Cry Town and told everyone about the situation. Everyone looked panicked. To Li Ergou's surprise, the thirteen youths from Wanglong Village were faintly excited. He couldn't help but find it a little funny. These guys just wanted to show off too much.

They haven't seen a real bloody scene yet. It would be truly impressive if they could handle it when the time comes.

Li Ergou gave everyone a lecture, which was nothing more than a pep talk. Then, he took out a large pile of bows and arrows from the bronze mirror. Fortunately, he had the foresight to have Zhou Da and the others buy bows and arrows early, just in case this day came.

The bronze mirror not only contained bows and arrows but also a lot of food. This purchase not only spent all the money he had but also borrowed ten thousand taels of silver from Liu Zhiyu, as an advance payment for eggs.

Now he also owes a huge debt. Although he feels helpless, he is not flustered at all with the bronze mirror in hand.

After all, the one who owes money is the boss, isn't he?

At first, he asked Zhou Da and the others to buy 100,000 catties of grain, copied it to become 200,000 catties, 100 longbows, copied to become 200, and 3,000 arrows, copied to become 6,000.

He also bought 100 special arrows, which were divine light arrows engraved with runes, which could kill demons and monsters. They would explode when hit, and they were extremely expensive, costing five taels of silver each. The price was really staggering. Even so, they were in short supply, and Li Ergou only bought them through Liu Zhiyu's connections.

These bows and arrows were all the inventory of all the weapon shops in Bitter Water County. Otherwise, Li Ergou would have wanted to buy more, because these things are life-saving items, and the more the better.

Especially when dealing with these zombies, long-range shooting is always better than close combat, at least you won't get infected with corpse poison.

Now that a big battle is imminent, Li Ergou distributed a bow and twenty arrows to everyone present, and ordered everyone not to engage in close combat unless absolutely necessary, to aim accurately when shooting arrows, and not to waste them.

Chicken Cry Town is just a remote town, so there would be no city walls or anything like that. Everyone could only find some higher rooftops to prepare.

Li Ergou was not idle, and constantly discussed the next few backup plans with Huang San. To be honest, he had not experienced many things, and there were many things he needed to learn.

Huang San had been a constable for many years, and his combat experience was relatively rich, but this was the first time he had participated in such a large-scale battle, but Li Ergou's bows and arrows made him feel a lot more relieved.

The folks in Chicken Cry Town were accelerating their escape from this place. Li Ergou had already notified them that the zombies would be coming soon, and he could only buy everyone some time. If everyone couldn't escape by then, he couldn't do anything about it.

So, after hearing Li Ergou's words, everyone ran faster, and Chicken Cry Town became even more chaotic.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Li Ergou couldn't care about so much, because those white-haired zombies came even earlier than he had imagined. The setting sun was like blood, a breeze was blowing, and the clouds in the sky rolled even faster.

Li Ergou and the others looked out, and under the blood-red sunlight, there were hundreds of white-haired zombies swarming in. From a distance, it was a dark mass, scattered everywhere, seemingly without end. These guys had hideous faces and were constantly roaring loudly.

The white-haired zombies were running fast, and the white hair on their faces and bodies was illuminated by the sun into a blood-red color, like countless twisted monsters, making people feel a sense of fear.

Seeing this scene, everyone present lost the composure they had at the beginning. Li Ergou had never seen such a terrifying scene. At this moment, the scene in front of him was like a battlefield.

Huang San, after being surprised, quickly said, "Everyone, prepare quickly, release the arrows."

Li Ergou then reacted and said, "Everyone, aim and shoot."

After a moment of panic, everyone reacted at this moment and began to shoot their bows one after another. You must know that Li Ergou's men were all quite skilled guys. At this moment, everyone was using a 500-jin ox horn bow. If the bow was fully drawn, it could shoot a distance of 200 meters away.

For a time, arrows rained down from the sky. The white-haired zombies were the weakest of the zombies. What's more, these were zombies that had been transformed by infection, and they did not have strong defenses themselves. Their reliance was on their speed and strength.

After a wave of arrows, dozens of zombies were shot down, but soon, everyone discovered that these zombies had all stood up again and continued to run forward.

Li Ergou quickly discovered that only by shooting the head would those zombies completely die. He immediately told everyone about this and specifically shot the heads of those zombies.

This time everyone had experience and aimed before shooting, but the zombies were running too fast, and they had only shot three rounds before they had run to a place twenty or thirty meters in front of everyone. This was the disadvantage of not having city walls.

Looking at the zombies close at hand, Li Ergou shouted loudly, "Everyone, don't panic. Do not run away without my order. The brave win when enemies meet on a narrow road. Whoever is afraid of death and runs will only die faster."

After a word of encouragement, Li Ergou shouted again, "Draw your swords."

Li Ergou stood at the forefront of the crowd. He sacrificed the Xuanwu armor and pulled out the Lengque knife. At this moment, the knife flashed, and a cold light reflected on it.

Lu Yun, Zhang Long, Hao Ren Da, Sha Ge and others also pulled out their Lengque knives. They were wearing Wu Lin armor and stood in the front row, behind them were the thirteen youths from Wanglong Village.

Looking at the battle that was about to happen in front of them, everyone was excited and their blood was boiling.
