#163 - Chapter 163 The wind is whistling, the Yishui River is cold
When Liu Zhiyu saw Li Ergou's appearance, he couldn't help but ask in confusion, "Ergou brother, why are you still not satisfied with this price?"
In fact, Li Ergou was very conflicted at the moment. He was not a person with particularly high morals, nor would he become the kind of person Mr. Li Zheng'an spoke of, who would go forward despite thousands of people pointing the way.
The reason he hesitated was because he thought that many people who had been bitten by zombies might turn into zombies. If they had a life-saving egg, would they survive and reunite with their families, with hope for tomorrow?
If an egg is so expensive, the rich don't care, but what about the poor? They probably couldn't afford it even if they were beaten to death.
To be honest, he likes money, the more the better, but Old Mantou said that a gentleman loves money and earns it in a proper way. He didn't want to lose the opportunity to save more people because of his greed.
With this in mind, he told Liu Zhiyu what he was struggling with.
After listening to Li Ergou's thoughts, Liu Zhiyu couldn't help but sigh, "Ergou, to be honest, at this moment, I admire you in my heart. I am really happy to have a friend like you.
What you think is right. I was blinded by greed, but this matter is not difficult to solve. We can set up a relief station in the city. If someone is bitten by a zombie, the poor are free, and the rich must pay their share. Anyway, we know the situation in this Kushui County very well. We know who is rich and who is poor.
If we have surplus eggs, we can also sell them to other counties, using the same method. You should know that I have many friends in other counties who can help. In this way, we can save people and make money, a win-win situation, why not do it?"
Li Ergou sighed in his heart, look, this guy's brain is so good. With a turn, he can make things perfect. Li Ergou naturally agreed. He still has tens of thousands of eggs on him, and he can't manage them himself. After all, he can't do this kind of distribution.
Afterwards, he also asked Liu Zhiyu to buy him some arrows with runes. That thing is very useful, and Liu Zhiyu naturally agreed.
In the following days, Li Ergou led everyone to hunt zombies every day, truly earning a lot of money.
And his Ergou medicinal eggs are selling well throughout the Yucheng area. Most importantly, Li Ergou gave the medicinal eggs to the poor, and gained the gratitude of countless people. Li Ergou's reputation also spread in Yucheng.
These days, although many zombies have been killed, there are still many zombies in the entire Kushui County, as many as tens of thousands. With these people in the county government alone, they can't kill them all.
Now, almost all towns in Kushui County have fallen, and all the people in Kushui County have fled to the county seat, and the city is already overcrowded.
The price of rice and meat has soared to the sky, extremely expensive.
Every day, when Li Ergou passes by the street, he can see those poor people constantly begging to passers-by, but now everyone has no food to eat, so what can they do?
Although Li Ergou has 200,000 catties of rice on him, it is only a drop in the bucket for Kushui County. He dare not release the rice casually. Once it causes crowding and looting, it will cause a greater disaster.
But seeing these people starve to death is something no one can bear. He is unable to do these things himself. After thinking about it, he decided to hand over the 200,000 catties of rice to Liu Zhiyu and let him arrange how to distribute it. Save whoever he can.
Helplessly, he can only bravely kill zombies.
But such days did not last for a few days, and tens of thousands of zombie troops finally came.
On the city wall, Li Ergou looked into the distance, and could see a dark mass of people outside the city. Countless zombies swarmed in, as if they couldn't see the edge. At the forefront of the zombie group were dozens of green-scaled zombies and hundreds of purple-haired zombies.
Seeing this scene, even Li Ergou was dumbfounded, because such a lineup is really too terrifying, not to mention the tens of thousands of white-haired zombies, even the dozens of green-scaled zombies are enough to be choking on.
Those green-scaled zombies all possess the strength of the early to middle stage of the Foundation Establishment realm. How many Foundation Establishment cultivators are there in the huge Kushui County?
There are many people on the city wall, as many as several thousand, but only two or three hundred of them are constables and city guards, these people with strong combat power. These people are the main combat force, and the rest are ordinary warriors and some villagers. Although there are many people, their combat power is not very good.
At this moment, facing so many zombies, seeing such a huge lineup, people can't help but feel cold in their hearts, and their whole body twitches.
The county lieutenant, the county magistrate, and the county magistrate, the three giants of Kushui County, have all come to the city wall at this moment. When they saw this scene, they were also dumbfounded.
Although these three giants are all Foundation Establishment cultivators, only the county lieutenant has some combat power. The other two have been in official positions for a long time, and they have never fought with anyone. Their combat power is weak, and they only have cultivation.
After these days of fighting, it can be seen that only Li Ergou's team is relatively complete, with no missing people. The rest of the teams have already lost a lot of people.
And Li Ergou has equipped everyone with black scale armor and cold sparrow knives. The mental outlook of everyone is even unmatched by others.
The county magistrate had long heard of Li Ergou's performance during this period, and specially received him, praising him for a while, praising Li Ergou so much that he was a little embarrassed.
Speaking of which, the county magistrate is kind to him. The last time he splashed blood on the Mandarin Duck Tower, if the county magistrate hadn't also made a great effort, he would have been dragged out and beheaded long ago. Where would he have the scenery at this moment?
So he is also slightly kind to the county magistrate. As for the county magistrate looking at Li Ergou with three points of contempt and seven points of resentment, as if he had slept with his wife, this guy naturally hates Li Ergou in his heart. The revenge of killing his brother-in-law is irreconcilable.
If you ignore me, I won't pay attention to you. Don't look at you as the county magistrate now, I still won't hang you. See what you can do to me. I just like the way you can't stand me, but can't kill me.
Li Ergou's indifferent eyes made the county magistrate secretly hate him even more.
The county lieutenant also came over and chatted with Li Ergou for a while. At this moment, the county seat is in danger. He may have to go down in person later, so he naturally has to win over his subordinates.
Especially Li Ergou, with his profound cultivation. It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Ergou's current combat power is the number one combat power in the Kushui County Yamen. Now Li Ergou is very famous. If he really passes the Great Martial Master exam, he may climb higher than himself in the future. It is better to give charcoal in the snow than icing on the cake. Now that he is in a good place, it will be easier to talk to him in the future. Is he really giving away his county lieutenant for nothing?
Li Ergou doesn't have the mood to think too much now, because those zombies are getting closer and closer, and they are almost less than two miles away from the city wall. Seeing this scene, his heart is extremely worried.
After thinking for a moment, he still said to the county magistrate: "Sir, I'm afraid we can't defend the city wall with our strength alone. Please think of some ways to get some support as soon as possible."
But the county magistrate shook his head helplessly and said: "Ergou, you may not know yet, but now even Yucheng is in danger. Most importantly, the army sent by the state government has been slow to move, and only sent a small part of the troops first. Those people are busy in Yucheng and are too busy to care about us.
Now we can only rely on ourselves. If it really doesn't work, let the ordinary people below also guard the city wall. Only when the military and civilians are united can we resist this great disaster."
These words have a feeling of 'The wind is rustling, the Yi River is cold'.
But there is not much time left for everyone, and there is no time to hurry. The zombies have entered within 500 meters. Li Ergou hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, prepare your bows and arrows."
