Chapter 149 The Tranquility Before the Storm

"Do you smell anything?" A soldier sniffed his nose and said to his companions, "It smells like osmanthus."

"You're not crazy about women, are you?" The companion laughed, "Are you thinking about the newly widowed Sister Guihua in the village?"

"I know this! Sister Guihua brought food to Xiao Ding before." Another companion came over and said, "Sister Guihua always has a faint scent of osmanthus. I don't know if it is smoked or something."

"It seems that it's because I always have to make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for dignitaries." My companion said, smiling sarcastically, "But now those dignitaries are just like that."

"No, no, I mean those women in black that the king brought to jump off the city wall and then left again." Xiao Ding explained.

"Hahahaha, you said you didn't think about women!" The companion smiled, then smacked his lips and said, "But then again, those dozen women are indeed in good shape, and they are indeed the king's women.

"

"Oh, don't worry about it blindly. Those women are strong men who can kill zombies. Let's just be soldiers." Another companion said, and as he said that, he also sniffed his nose.

He said a little strangely, "I really want to smell something. Is it peony?"

"Peony?" The second soldier sniffed his nose hard, but still didn't smell anything. He said helplessly, "Maybe my nose is broken."

Xiao Ding also sniffed his nose and said, "I can only smell the fragrance of osmanthus."

Pengcheng is a city that is not very famous and even has a somewhat rustic name.

But if its timeline were moved back a few hundred years, everyone would probably be familiar with it.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Pengcheng was renamed by Cao Cao and was officially called Xuzhou City.

Xuzhou has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.

It is located at the junction of the north and the south. It is the key to the north and the gateway to the south. "It embraces the Huaihai Sea to the east, borders the Central Plains to the west, screens the Yangtze River and Huaihe River to the south, and straddles Qilu to the north." Its unique geographical location makes Xuzhou known as the "thorough of five provinces"

.

Although the current Pengcheng has not become China's transportation hub like Xuzhou in later generations, nor has a large number of light and heavy industrial factories been built.

But its extremely special geographical location makes it still very important.

Especially during the Xia and Shang dynasties, the Peng Kingdom in Pengcheng was very prosperous and even became one of the Five Hegemons.

The founder of the Da Peng Kingdom was Peng Zu, one of the founders of Taoism who was said to have lived for eight hundred years and created diet and health care and Qigong health care.

As such an important military place, Pengcheng does not belong to anyone's fiefdom. It only has a city guard, and its city guard is Jing Yang, the leader of the Jing clan, one of the three major families.

But in the current situation, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a private fief of Jingyang.

"Is this Peng Zu Meat?" Jing Yang opened the sandalwood box in front of him and asked in a strange tone.

Inside the sandalwood box was something that looked like a brown king oyster mushroom. It exuded a faint woody aroma and was almost exactly the same as the Ganoderma lucidum I had eaten before. It also looked a bit like medicinal materials. No matter how you looked at it, it didn't look like human flesh.

"Yes, this is Peng Zu's meat." The man with the Chinese character on his face nodded and said, "Peng Zu had a woody fragrance all over his body when he was alive, which is very strange."

This man is called Peng Yue, and he is a direct descendant of Peng Zu.

Pengcheng was originally

It was annexed by the Song State and later captured by the Chu State.

The Peng family, which had gone through many wars, should have been exterminated long ago, but they were considered a noble to some extent and their ancestors were quite prestigious, so successive rulers did not make it too difficult for them.

And the Peng family themselves are quite well-behaved. In addition to the basic land of 100 acres, they can pay taxes when they should pay taxes, pay tribute when they should pay tribute, and join the army when they should join the army. As long as it does not harm the fundamental requirements, they can meet them.

He is said to be a good commoner of Chu State.

"Why does this meat look so much like a mushroom?" Zhaoshe looked at it strangely and said.

"It is said that Pengzu was invulnerable to swords, fire and water. He was like a thousand-year-old piece of iron wood, both tough and hard." Peng Yue said, "It was only after Pengzu passed away that Pengzu's body could be softened and cut."

"Then... you can live forever if you eat it?" Jingyang asked.

"In those days, unscrupulous descendants divided Pengzu and ate it. People thought that Pengzu lived a long life and eating Pengzu's meat could also lead to longevity. But they didn't know that Pengzu's meat was just a high-grade medicinal material."

Peng Yue didn't say yes or no, which caused the two of them to speculate endlessly.

Just when Jumuyi was under construction, the arrival of a wave of people injected new vitality into the entire Jumuyi. They were the people from Changchun Medical House who had escaped on the first night.

There are more than a dozen strong men and twenty doctors and medical women. This is undoubtedly an extremely exciting group for Jumuyi. There is no one more popular than doctors.

In addition, the first batch of villagers from Yulouyi also came to Jumuyi, including Wang Sheng's father, Wang Orion.

Originally, the meeting between father and son was supposed to be an extremely touching scene of reunion after a long absence, but unfortunately, this scene did not appear.

As soon as Wang Lihu arrived at Jumuyi and was interrogated, he went straight to the government office and found the chief official of the city.

"Mr. Gongshu, you should be familiar with this disaster, right?"

"I can not understand what you say."

"Don't you still know what you did in that war that nearly destroyed the country?"

"What did you do?" Gongshu Ban frowned, "The chariot I made saved the entire Chu State!"

"Is this really the case? Did you save Chu without sacrificing anyone?!"

"Are you crazy? What are you talking about?"

"Do you remember that village? It was such a peaceful and industrious village. The men hunted and the women cultivated the fields. But because they were closer to the battlefield for such a ridiculous reason, they all died on the battlefield in the end!"

"Oh, that's such a pity. I will advise the king not to recruit soldiers who have no fighting ability."

"Don't you blame yourself a little bit?!"

"You have lost your composure, Orion. I am not qualified to question you, and I don't know what you are questioning."

"Sorry... I was rude."

With modern technology cheating, Ouyang, who has tasted the benefits, cannot stop there.

Taking advantage of the many mountains and abundant mineral resources here, with the help of Deoxys, he frantically prepared cement, and then led the people to start crazy infrastructure construction.

Not only were the original wooden walls reinforced and expanded with cement,

It was built to make the platform and walls wider and taller. Several surrounding fields and three small lakes were also enclosed, and bunkers and beacons were set up.

If a large number of zombies invade, these outposts can be used to know as soon as possible and make timely preparations.

And for this cement infrastructure construction, Jumu originally had twelve gates for passage, but now only four are left.

The four city gates were also re-paved with cement. The city gates were also equipped with dragon-breaking stones and a large number of heavy blockages. If anything went wrong, they could be completely blocked.

Normally, such city gates are tightly closed, but now zombies are wandering outside the city walls 24 hours a day. Even if they are open, they cannot get out. Going out is tantamount to death, so it is better to keep them closed for peace of mind.

Of course, Ouyang didn't stay with the cement formula, mainly because he didn't understand it himself.

What's left? A bunch of chemical equations that I can't understand?

He had already given full authority to the entire industrial process to Deoxys for production. Some very important steps and technical requirements were caused by Deoxys using both flame skills and electric shock skills. This

The people of the era should be difficult to reach.

In short, thanks to the miraculous cement craftsmanship, the entire Jumu City has really turned into an iron barrel. Looking at the high city wall and the twelve flamethrowers on the city wall that can spit out hot flames, each Jumu City

The hearts of the residents of the city are filled with extremely strong self-confidence.

Apart from the closure of the city, life is no different from normal life. Maybe that's it... maybe it's still possible to survive the monsters outside?

After all, if everyone outside the city wall died, their number would never increase.

"What? Master, isn't this too dangerous?!"

Just when all the people of Jumuyi were in a prosperous atmosphere, a fierce dispute broke out in the government office of Jumuyi.

The main reason was that Xiong Zhong wanted to go to Pengcheng through the waves of corpses and take over Pengcheng's defense work when the situation was good.

"The people of Pengcheng are also the people of Chu State. Although the defense work of Jumuyi is now foolproof, we cannot stop there. In the entire Chu State, we can save as many people as we can." Xiong Zhong

He said firmly, "Not only that...if possible, I also want to go to Yingdu to see my father for the last time!"

"You still want to see the king?! This matter is too dangerous, no, I will never agree!" Gongsun Chao continued to reject Xiong Zhong's proposal.

"Zi Chao, this must be done!" Xiong Zhong said with a firmness in his calm tone, "Whether it's for Chu State or for my father, I have to go to Yingdu."

"Young Master!" Gongsun Chao wanted to persuade him, but he also understood Xiong Zhong's character, so he changed his words, "Then please be sure to take me with you."

"Take you with me?" Xiong Zhong was stunned for a moment.

"Your sword skills are terrible,"

"Uh..." Xiong Zhong was a little embarrassed. After looking around, he found that everyone had "really" expressions on his face. He could only nod helplessly, "Okay, if I go to Yingdu, I will definitely take you with me."

"We can't do anything about Yingdu until the disaster subsides a little. As for Pengcheng..." the public transport class said, pondered for a moment, and looked at his students, "We really can't just let it go.

After all, this city is indeed too big."
