C1043 Prepare to Retreat



C1043 Prepare to Retreat

The soldiers of the third division were still standing guard outside the wall. At this time of the day, the zombies weren't as crazy as they were during the night and gradually stopped attacking.    

    

But even so, after an entire night of fighting, the soldiers of the three divisions could be said to be exhausted. Even though the majority of the soldiers had reached the physique of Second Level Evolutionist, they were still unable to endure such an intense battle.    

    

"Let Lee Weiping's new division carry out the defense replacement work. You must explain everything properly before returning back to the camp to rest."    

    

Wang Yi instructed.    

    

"Alright!"    

    

Zhang Fei hurriedly nodded, he had wanted to go back and rest for a long time.    

    

Half an hour later, Lee Weiping's new division replaced Zhang Fei's new division of three to defend themselves. However, it was still daytime now and the number of zombies outside the temporary wall had decreased. The new division had been resting since last night, so the soldiers were in high spirits.    

    

"Go inform the others. A meeting will be held in half an hour."    

    

Wang Yi said to Xiaobao, who was carrying a bowl of meat porridge to him.    

    

He had experienced a few battles before. Although he had always been by Wang Yi's side, his attitude had changed a lot. Even though he was still a child, he had become more stable.    

    

"Yes, leader." Little Treasure hurriedly ran back to the camp. Not long later, all the executives at the front lines arrived at the meeting room.    

    

The three division leaders, as well as Deputy Chief, Xu Liqiang, and some other personnel in charge of various matters.    

    

"I have decided to temporarily stop my attacks on Huhhot City." Seeing that everyone was here, Wang Yi directly said.    

    

"Are we not going to fight?"    

    

Lee Weiping was surprised. After all, from before to now, the army's plan was to advance steadily without any accidents. Although the soldiers below were exhausted after such a long battle, they could still continue to fight.    

    

"Bro Yi, we received quite a lot of supplies this time, and the strength of the soldiers have also increased by a lot. If we continue fighting, all the soldiers can quickly raise their Second Level Evolutionist."    

    

Zhang Fei said. It could be said that the new three divisions' strength was the greatest, and similarly, their gains were the greatest. Of the fifteen thousand soldiers, other than the one thousand that died, the rest all had their own improvements.    

    

The number of Level Three evolved people had risen from the original one hundred odd to nearly three hundred, and the Second Level Evolutionist had increased as well. There were now four to five thousand soldiers, and the rest were all at First Level Evolutionist.    

    

It could be said that although there were fewer people in the battle this time, his overall strength had increased by at least thirty percent. Even he, Zhang Fei, had broken through the level of Fourth Level Evolutionist two days ago.    

    

"We can't fight anymore."    

    

Wang Yi shook his head with a hint of seriousness in his voice.    

    

Yesterday, Yang Bing's side was attacked by a horde of hundreds of thousands of zombies, although there were no Zombie King s to command the zombies, but those Intellectual Corpse s can also command the normal zombies, and they already know that they can join forces. It is possible that right now, they have yet to notice that we are currently nibbling away at their territory, and if we were to find them, then we would be the ones facing hundreds of thousands of zombies.    

    

Wang Yi said in a serious tone.    

    

What happened yesterday had really rung the alarm bell for Wang Yi.    

    

It was also because of how smooth the battle had been, that Wang Yi let his guard down. Only now did he remember that there were more than two million corpses in the Huhhot City!    

    

"Bro Yi, actually, I had the same idea since a long time ago."    

    

Luo Heng, who didn't say anything, stood up and said.    

    

The expansion of our territory is very fast, almost one tenth of our Huhhot City has been taken down by us, but such a large territory, most of it are remote places, and the zombies are not dense, so we did not encounter any problems, but if we were to continue growing, we will be in contact with the Huhhot City center.    

    

"The corpses there are all densely packed, making it even more dangerous. Besides, many of the territories we've taken down haven't started collecting materials yet. If we collect all the materials here, it should be enough for our gathering spot to use for a while."    

    

Wang Yi nodded.    

    

Luo Heng was right, after all, what's the use of beating the entire Huhhot City down?    

    

He was already plagued by corpses to such an extent, he couldn't possibly come back to live, right?    

    

Moreover, the most important thing was to let the survivors in the gathering place feel a sense of hope to survive. The most important thing was to have confidence in the gathering place.    

    

"Next, I will bring back the two divisions and leave one division behind to guard these temporary walls while the leader, Xu Li."    

    

Wang Yi said as his gaze fell on Xu Liqiang.    

    

Although these few walls have been constructed to a certain extent, it is still far from being enough to resist large scale corpses, so I think that you should continue to stay here and construct these walls layer by layer to protect against zombies. At the same time, you should protect this territory that was taken down with great difficulty, and act as a springboard for us to attack Huhhot City from now on.    

    

Right now, the Huhhot City base that had been under attack had already experienced three battles, and at the same time, there were three different temporary walls.    

    

The first wall was about three kilometers long.    

    

After all, if one wanted to live amongst the corpses, they had to carry out an all-round defense, and only then could they start construction from the White River. Only when the corpses attacked in the future, would they not let them go around the wall, and on the other side, they would have to directly press against the remnants of the Grand Green Mountain. It could be said that they had blocked off both sides of the road, and did not give the corpses any chance to take a detour.    

    

As for the second wall, it went closer and closer by five kilometers and arrived at the edge of Huhhot City city, the wall was about seven kilometers long, and the real stage of blocking Huhhot City was less than two kilometers long. The rest of the walls were extended because they were afraid of zombies taking a detour to attack them.    

    

As for the third wall, which was where the Grand Green Mountain Army was currently located, they were already two kilometers deep into the city. This distance was very short, and according to their original plans, they were supposed to go deeper in, but because they were faced with an increasing number of zombies, they could only temporarily build the wall here.    

    

The wall was eleven kilometers long, forming a semicircle that encompassed the entire area.    

    

It could be said that these three walls were three lines of defense, blocking the corpses on the outside and protecting the territory inside that they had gone through great difficulty to lay down.    

    

"Leader, there's no problem building the wall, but the workers still have the materials …" Xu Liqiang said awkwardly.    

    

The construction of the wall was very simple, they only needed to build it with different types of stone and steel bars. But the workers, in order to build the wall, had already recruited a total of fifty thousand survivors.    

    

Among them, ten thousand of them, along with those criminals who worked hard to reform the city, would gather the materials within the Grand Green Mountain while the rest of the forty thousand would come here to build the wall.    

    

If they still needed to build it, they would have to continue digging for sand and rocks, but for these workers, their numbers were not enough. At the very least, in the short term, it would not be easy to build a wall that could truly defend against zombies.    

    

"I didn't ask you to build all the walls at once." Wang Yi shook his head and said.    

    

The construction of the wall can take longer but it can't take more than a month. The height of the wall will have to be built to fifteen meters and the width will be half of the total width.    

    

"As for the workers, when we return to the gathering area, Zhu Min will recruit another thirty thousand survivors to build it. As for the materials, there will be an endless chain of mountains behind the Grand Green Mountain gathering area.    

    

It was not a bad thing for the gathering place to dig the back of the mountain and build a wall.    

    

There were already 400,000 people in the gathering area, which was almost the size of the urban area of a small city. With such a large number of survivors, they were still squeezed in a valley. It could be imagined just how dense that place was.    

    

Almost all of the survivors lived in the dormitory. It could even be said that they were suffering unspeakably.    

    

In the previous period, Zhu Min had even set up a currency property in the gathering area. Many survivors had put their lives on the line to earn money to buy a house, resulting in the first batch of houses to be sold out.    

    

Even so, there were still many survivors who wanted to buy houses, and there were even survivors who sat at the Exchange Hall with money. As long as the back of the mountain was cleared, the gathering place could continue to be built, and then sell out, increasing their control over the survivors.    

    

Otherwise, Wang Yi would be worried about where he could build a house to sell to these survivors.    

    

"Alright, I'll try my best on this mission." Xu Liqiang nodded and said.    

    

Of course, the construction of these three walls was definitely not as simple as just protecting the Huhhot City Base.    

    

From the area where Grand Green Mountain gathered to the Huhhot City, there was a total of more than twenty kilometers. Before, this distance was the most dangerous and there were many zombies, but once the wall was built, there were no more zombies to be seen. It turned from a danger to safety.    

    

If it was a zombie horde that could resist Huhhot City, Wang Yi even wanted to grow them into grain fields after spring.    

    

Of course, this was under the premise that they had absolute confidence in being able to stop the zombies inside the Huhhot City. Otherwise, growing food here was completely for the zombies' sake.    

    

"Also, I need to gather all the materials at the Huhhot City Base as soon as possible." Wang Yi said.    

    

The area they landed on, although it was only a tenth of the Huhhot City and was very small, it was still a relatively small area.
