After arranging the matters in Luyuan, Yan Liqiang went out alone, carrying the star iron spear. Instead of going through the main gate, he climbed over the wall to leave Luyuan and ran towards the Imperial Capital City in the night.
Yan Liqiang didn't know how many people in the Imperial Capital had turned into zombies, and whether the palace and the officials in the court were affected, but such information was crucial. Whether he liked those people in the court or not, he had to find out the truth! Sun Bingchen and the emperor were still in the Imperial Capital, and Yan Liqiang also wanted to see if they were still alive...
If everything is fine in the imperial capital, and only less than one-tenth of the people are infected, it means God has blessed us, and the fortune of the Han Empire is still there!
If more than one-third of the people in the Imperial Capital were infected at this moment, then the imperial court would be completely finished!
The Imperial Capital was the largest city in the Han Empire, housing one-third of the population, which was nearly a million people. Just imagine the scene of zombies, which were more terrifying than a million rebel soldiers, running rampant in the Imperial Capital. How could this court still exist
The court of the Han Empire might perish tonight!
When Yan Liqiang thought about how he indirectly facilitated all this a few days in advance, he felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, and he didn't know whether he was sad or happy...
Just after running out of the Deer Garden for less than two miles, a fiery red halo suddenly rose in the distant Imperial Capital City. In that halo, a thick, scarlet red light column shot up from the Imperial Capital City, and went straight into the sky like a red-hot sword. It was so dazzling that even people thousands of miles away could probably see what was happening here!
What is that? Yan Liqiang stopped in the field while running and stared at the scene in the Imperial Capital.
The light and shadow did not rise from the city wall. Judging from the location, it seemed to rise from the north of the city. That location was exactly where the imperial palace in the imperial capital was located...
Looking at the beam of light that suddenly shot up into the sky in the Imperial Capital City, Yan Liqiang stayed there for more than ten seconds before he suddenly realized that it was a beacon tower, a beacon tower in the Imperial Palace of the Imperial Capital City. The beacon tower in the palace was not an ordinary beacon, but a large-scale array device called the Beacon Pillar, which had stood in the palace since the founding of the Han Empire.
The beacon tower, which had never been lit in hundreds of years, was lit tonight, at this moment. Once the beacon tower was lit and the red pillars of smoke came out, it indicated that the imperial capital city and the imperial palace were in a crisis of life and death. When the governors and county magistrates of the states and counties surrounding the capital saw this, they would send troops to rescue!
Yan Liqiang stared blankly at the red beam of light rising into the sky for a while, then gritted his teeth and rushed towards the Imperial Capital City!
As the beacon towers were lit up, gradually, in the night sky, the flames in the Imperial Capital City seemed to gradually increase. When I rushed all the way to the wall of the Imperial Capital City, I could already hear the huge noise coming from the city, screaming, crying, and the strange whistling sound that Xiao Li had made before...
The gate of Dijing City was not open. Yan Liqiang stepped directly on the city wall and flew up like a night owl, from outside the city wall to the top of the city wall.
Only when he climbed up the city wall did he get a clear view of the current scene in the Imperial Capital.
At this time, the Imperial Capital was in complete chaos. Many places were on fire, and the flames were rising to the sky. In the direction of the palace, the red smoke pillars were dazzling, illuminating the outside of the palace. On the streets, countless people in the Imperial Capital had turned into zombies, screaming and chasing each other in the streets and alleys like groups of hyenas and jackals on the grassland. Some jumped onto the roofs of the houses, while others gnawed at the corpses on the ground. Many zombies seemed to be rushing towards the direction of the palace, densely packed, as if attracted by the smoke pillars in the palace. In some places in the city, some people who had regained consciousness were fighting with the zombies. In the direction of the Imperial Capital East Camp where the Imperial Ma Busi was located, the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky...
The night wind was filled with a strong smell of blood.
There were some bloody corpses on the city wall, they were all soldiers guarding the city!
Just by taking a look at the scene before him, Yan Liqiang's heart completely sank. This court was over!
The scene in the Imperial Capital before me was not just a minor chaos, but a complete chaos. The entire Imperial Capital had become a battlefield, in complete disorder. At least more than half of the people were infected, becoming zombies with bugs in their heads...
More than a hundred meters away from the city gate, there were bursts of chopping and killing sounds, and someone could be heard faintly shouting, "Charge out, only by charging out can we survive..."
Hearing the sounds of fighting over there, Yan Liqiang ran over there. Standing on the city wall, he saw that on the street below the city gate, more than 20 men with swords were fighting with hundreds of zombies surrounding them. The 20-something men formed a circle, relying on each other, and while fighting, they moved towards the city gate, as if they wanted to rush out through the city gate. Most of the zombies surrounding them were wearing the uniforms of the city guards.
Many of the more than 20 people looked like martial artists with strong cultivation. The zombies surrounding them, although numerous, had no method in coordinating with each other. Even if they had weapons in their hands, they were just waving them randomly or making strange noises. As long as they rushed forward, they would be chopped down by the more than 20 people in the blink of an eye...
“Pay attention, it will only work if you take these people’s heads. Once you chop off their heads they won’t be able to move…” Among the people surrounded below, there was a big man with a full beard. He was beating and shouting at the same time, and it seemed that he had discovered the weaknesses of those zombies.
There were strange howlings of ghosts and wolves in the distance. Yan Liqiang looked up and found that on the street a few hundred meters away, there was a large group of zombies, at least seven or eight hundred people rushing towards here.
Yan Liqiang jumped down from the city wall and landed outside the group of trapped people. He shook the spear in his hand lightly, and nine gun flowers flew out, which directly blew off the heads of the nine zombies around him. Then he swept across, and another five zombies' heads were blown up. He fired again, and another seven or eight zombies flew backwards. In just a few seconds, a large area of ground in front and behind Yan Liqiang was cleared.
With the spear in hand, Yan Liqiang only needs one-fifth of his usual strength to inflict ten times the damage.
Seeing Yan Liqiang rushing out and easily clearing out a large number of zombies, the more than 20 people who were besieged were cheered up. Knowing that masters and reinforcements had arrived, they immediately moved towards Yan Liqiang.
"Hurry, get on the city wall, find a rope in the tower and let it down. There are more zombies coming from the distance..." Yan Liqiang roared, and shook his spear. Another eight or nine zombies that were rushing over had their heads exploded and flew out, instantly creating a way of survival for those people.
When those people saw this, they quickly ran towards Yan Liqiang and rushed up the stairs.
“Brother, I’m grateful for your kindness. I, Old Jin, will remember your life-saving favor. I don’t know your name, brother. I, Old Jin, will repay you someday…” The big man who had shouted loudly in the crowd just now rushed to Yan Liqiang, wiped the blood off his face, and said with a fist.
"My last name is Yan. Where are you from..." Yan Liqiang also took the opportunity to ask.
"Damn it, we were staying at the Lai Fu Inn not far away. There was a commotion outside in the middle of the night, so we got up to take a look. Unexpectedly, the Imperial Capital City was full of zombies, eating people. We originally wanted to come to the Imperial Capital City to make a fortune, but we almost lost our lives..." the big man said, still with lingering fears.
Of course, outsiders living in the inn could not drink the vitality soup, so these people survived by chance.
"Hurry up and leave. When you get outside the city, don't go into the village. Walk in the wild. The villages outside the city are full of these ghost things..." Yan Liqiang said, and without waiting for the man who called himself Lao Jin to say anything, he shook his spear and stabbed a few more zombies away. Then he jumped onto the roof of the house, stepped on the tiles, and rushed towards the city.
"Damn it, it's true that wealth and honor come from risk. We brothers don't have such ability, so we can only run for our lives..." The big man looked at Yan Liqiang enviously and muttered. Seeing a large group of people rushing over from the street in the distance, he immediately sped up and rushed to the city wall, "Hurry up, find a rope to lower me..."
