Along the way, the team led by Yan Liqiang encountered countless zombies. When there were few zombies, Yan Liqiang would kill them all with a bow before others could make a move. When there were many zombies, the whole team would rush forward at once. Yan Liqiang led the way at the front of the team, like a diamond drill, and was invincible. Even Yan Liqiang himself could not remember how many heads were smashed and pierced by the meteorite spear in his hand. However, Yan Liqiang changed seven quivers on his horse along the way...
To be fair, for Yan Liqiang, once he rode on Caiyun Zhuiyue and maintained mobility, as long as he was not blocked by hundreds of thousands of zombies in a narrow space, he really did not regard these zombies as much of a threat. To him, these zombies were transformed from ordinary people, and were just a little more difficult to deal with than ordinary people, but that was limited. If it were normal times, these zombies would not even be qualified to be his targets, let alone fight with him. Even on the road, among all the zombies, basically no one could get within three meters of him. It was just that at this time, he was leading a group of people to break through and survive, and he had a responsibility, so Yan Liqiang was extra careful.
The group of people kept on riding, running all night, and finally saw the outline of Huizhou City in the distance when the east gradually brightened. The cotton cloth on the wheels and horseshoes had already been completely ground to pieces on the ground at this time, and the movement of the team became louder. Except for Yan Liqiang and a few people in the team, most of the team had already been exhausted by this time, and they just gritted their teeth and stayed on the horse. Those who were in the car were better off, but many people riding on Ma'anshan had their legs worn out and were burning with pain...
The first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, as well as on the thick smoke rising from the direction of Huizhou City. The smoke indicated that the situation in Huizhou City was probably not much better.
"Everyone, work harder. As long as we pass Huizhou City, the number of zombies we encounter ahead will get fewer and fewer. If we find a place to rest and eat, we'll have passed this stage..." As the core figure of the entire team, Yan Liqiang knew that many people in the team were already very tired, but he still wanted to cheer everyone up. Now that it was daybreak, the zombies' eyesight had recovered and they could see the team here from afar. They had to rush over before daybreak.
Inspired by hope, even those who were exhausted took a deep breath and continued to rush forward with Yan Liqiang.
There were more than a dozen zombies wandering on the road ahead. Yan Liqiang opened his bow again, using up almost half of the arrows in his bow bag. He shot and killed more than a dozen zombies wandering on the roadside from a distance. Amid the rumbling of horse hooves and wheels, the team ran for two miles, turned a corner, and a river appeared in front of the team...
When Yan Liqiang saw the river, his expression changed and he pulled the reins. The speed of Caiyun Zhuiyue, which was running fast, suddenly slowed down.
The river was not very wide, only about ten feet wide, and the water was turbulent. Originally, there was a large stone bridge with brackets that spanned the river, connecting the official roads on both sides. But at this moment, the stone bridge was gone. When Yan Liqiang and his men rushed to the front, they saw only the bridge piers on both sides of the river and a small section of the remaining bridge deck. The arched stone bridge was gone, and the entire bridge was broken into two parts. There was a large hole in the middle that was nearly ten feet wide. Below the large hole was the river. Looking down, you could see the edges and corners of several broken boulders in the turbulent river. The material of the boulders was exactly the same as the remaining bridge piers...
The entire team stopped with Yan Liqiang. Seeing the broken bridge, many people in the team felt a chill in their hearts. With the bridge in such a state, it was impossible for the team's rhinoceros horses and vehicles to cross...
Liu Xitong rode his horse to Yan Liqiang's side and looked at the broken bridge with an unpleasant expression, "Why is this Mian'an Bridge broken..."
Before Yan Liqiang could say anything, a figure flashed beside him and Elder Liu had already leaped over and stood by the river, also frowning as he looked at the broken bridge. For masters like them, this river was nothing and they could easily jump over it. But for ordinary people, the broken bridge in front of them was like a natural barrier.
"Ah, how could this happen?" Elder Liu looked at Yan Liqiang.
"The bridge is broken like this, it must not be washed away by water, but destroyed by humans!" Yan Liqiang frowned slightly, looking at the rushing river under the bridge, "This bridge is the main road connecting Huizhou City and Dijing City. Once the bridge is destroyed, the reinforcements from Huizhou City will not be able to rush to Dijing City in time, so it must be the work of the White Lotus Sect..."
"I can take two people with me at a time..." Elder Liu looked at Yan Liqiang and hesitated for a moment, "Do you want to..."
Yan Liqiang knew what Elder Liu meant. With the abilities of both him and Elder Liu, they could take Concubine Rong and Prince Min and several other important figures to the other side of the bridge first. However, if they did so, it would be difficult to deal with the people left on the other side of the river.
Yan Liqiang shook his head decisively and said in a deep voice, "It's easy to lead people over. Even if we lead everyone over, it's not difficult. It just takes a little effort. But what should we do after we get over there? Huizhou City is in chaos now, with zombies everywhere. I guess the situation in the neighboring states and counties is not optimistic at this time. Are we going to walk out of Jingxiji without food or water? Elder Liu should have seen the situation last night. The reason why we were able to get through this way was because of the speed and strength of the carriages and horses, so that even if the zombies saw us, they couldn't catch up. If there were no carriages and horses, once we were surrounded and dragged by the zombies, it would be a big deal. By then, no matter how high your cultivation level was, how many people could you take care of, Elder Liu? So this plan will definitely not work. It seems that we have crossed the bridge, but in fact we are in danger!"
Although Elder Liu is a skilled martial artist, he lacks the ability to plan and grasp the situation. Otherwise, he would not have become a senior bodyguard working hard for the royal family. After hearing what Yan Liqiang said, Elder Liu thought about it and could only nod slowly, "Then what do you want, Lord Yan?"
Yan Liqiang pondered for a moment and looked at Liu Xitong, "Xitong, you are familiar with this place. Do you know if there are any other bridges besides this one?"
Liu Xitong pointed to a road connecting to the official road by the river, "Go south along this road for more than ten miles, there is a town called Qingping Town, there is also an iron lock bridge in Qingping Town, if that iron lock bridge is also broken, you can only continue to walk south for more than 50 miles to Tianze Lake, this river flows into Bailong Lake, there are several docks beside Bailong Lake, it used to be very busy, there were many official ships and ferries, but I don't know what the situation is now?"
"To the north?" Yan Liqiang pointed to the road to the north.
"If we go north for another twenty miles, the carriages can no longer pass. The road becomes narrower. Even if we lead the horses, we have to climb over a mountain before we can see the bridge!"
Yan Liqiang only thought for two seconds, looked towards the south, and quickly made a decision, "Okay, let's go to Qingping Town first, take a look at the situation, and then make plans..."
