The current situation is that it seems that only Tianhe County has nearly 100,000 living residents.

Liangjun has a special position, both in terms of political status and economic status.

Now, if the population of other counties is completely extinct, no people will be willing to rely on the people in Tianhe County to multiply and drive all their descendants to other towns.

Needless to say, the current Tianhe County is at least better than other counties in terms of safety.

And in this crisis, there are still powerful and superior warlocks who will chop wood and collect food for ordinary people like them. Could it be that other counties would do the same?

Based on this alone, Tianhe County is still their first choice, and they will not even think about letting their descendants suffer elsewhere.

So the senior officials at Yanzhou University are still dreaming about whether they can turn those zombies back into ordinary people.

Or, make these walking dead give birth to new intelligence...

If Liang County has a population gap of hundreds of thousands, it will be over. Both productivity and employees in various industries will begin to be severely lacking.

Therefore, these zombies around the city have not been cleared away for the time being, but are left there for the time being. It is best to wait until someone comes up with a solution.

At the very least, we have to find a way to make zombies work!

However, with the sounds of daily life coming from time to time in the city, the zombie groups in some locations began to become more and more manic, with the appearance of stacks of arhats rushing into the city.

In addition, during the days when Pei Mengqing and others were out, zombie crises suddenly broke out in places in the city from time to time. In a certain restaurant, casino, brothel, in short, in places with dense crowds, there would always be people suddenly rushing out with red eyes and biting everyone they saw.

Even though Yanzhou University has distributed bed sheets and publicized the current situation and issues to residents, everyone has become more cautious.

But if someone suddenly mutates, how can they react?

You can't just ask everyone to stay in the house and not be allowed to leave the house, right?

This is also impossible.

Zombies are besieging the city, people are panicking, and everyone is already under a lot of pressure. If everyone is locked up in their own homes, there will probably be some heartbreaking tragedies soon, as well as conflicts between those who sneak out and law enforcement officers.

Yanzhou University and the city's garrison camp can't spare that many manpower. They need to be at the point where a zombie crisis may break out at any time, and they have to guard the city walls from being breached by zombies. They also have to go out to cut firewood and forage for ordinary people.

In fact, Tianhe County has a lot of people. It is the county with the largest population in Liang County, with nearly 100,000 people, which is much more than the average county.

This is still the case when Tianhe County strictly controls the population. Otherwise, relying on the benefits brought by the development of Tianhe County and Yanzhou University to the people, the people would have continued to have babies, and the babies would grow up and continue to grow in Tianhe County.

, eventually the population is saturated...

Yanzhou University and the garrison camp, even if there are many magicians, are hundreds of times that of a small county like Liangzhou County, it is still not enough.

The bulk of it is fuel and food.

Food cannot grow outside in winter, but the indoor greenhouse studied by Yanzhou University can grow it. It only needs glazed tiles and sunlight to achieve it.

However, the city's area is limited, and even if all the open space is turned into greenhouses, it will be too late to provide food for the people.

Elder Liu Feng sat behind his desk and felt very sad.

In fact, everyone knows that these zombies are already dead, and even the thing controlling their actions is not a living thing, but something that is currently unable to detect specific things.

Or, it would be better to describe it as the zombie virus that Pei Mengqing said.

It is unlikely that these zombies can be recovered. It is better to eliminate them all. At least the people can go out of the city to chop wood and hunt on their own, so as not to waste the manpower of the mysterious level warlocks.

There is also the severe cold in the city. I don’t know if it is only in Tianhe County, or if there are no signs of spring in the entire Liang County.

What's the matter? It's a cold winter that we can't get through, and a new evil organization is rising to harm the people.

He also knew something about what happened in Liangzhou County before.

Why is the current world suddenly in chaos? Is this a sign of the beginning of troubled times?

"Elder Liu, Teacher Pei and the others are back." Someone rushed into the office and shouted.

Elder Liu nodded: "Invite them in."

He already had a bad premonition in his heart.

Soon, Pei Mengqing, Dongfang Xiaoyu and three cats appeared in the office, and they came to Elder Liu.

The first thing Pei Mengqing did was to return the token in his hand to Elder Liu, although he didn't use it at all.

"How is Teacher Pei? Other counties and villages? How many people have been affected? How many people have been spared?"

"Well, I think we have good news and bad news for you."

Pei Mengqing hesitated for a moment, but decided to speak tactfully, lest Elder Liu, who didn't know how old he was, faint from a sudden increase in blood pressure.

"Oh? There is also good news. Let's talk about the good news first."

Elder Liu Feng was a little pleased.

"The good news is that there are no zombies in other counties and villages. The zombies are all coming to our Tianhe County in a steady stream."

"What about the bad news?"

"Well, the bad news is that those zombies were transformed by residents of other counties and villages." Pei Mengqing scratched her head, feeling a little sad.

"..."

Elder Liu Feng covered his chest, and the majestic Qixing-level warlock almost fainted without taking a breath.

"You mean, all the other towns in Liang County have fallen? Only our Tianhe County is left?"

"Well, that's true, but each village and county has about twenty to two hundred survivors.

"With the remaining materials in those places, if they have nothing to do at night and are willing to work hard to increase the labor force population of the Zhou Dynasty, if they work tirelessly, perhaps, coupled with a small amount of new population migration, such as providing some welfare policies and expropriation

Taxes, labor exemptions...

"I think in a little more than ten years, half or one-third of the original population can be restored..."

Pei Mengqing said nothing but good things to comfort her, but in fact the possibility of this was extremely slim.

Human beings are social animals. When the number decreases, every natural and man-made disaster they face will be fatal and may bring catastrophe.

A county with hundreds of people is fine, but a village with only a few dozen people is not.

Maybe, a group of wolves looking for food and hunting in winter can wipe them out.

"Alas..." Elder Liu Feng's eyebrows drooped, looking listless.

The wrinkles on his already old face are now almost piled together.

"It seems that we have to consider the idea of ​​​​the institute and see if these zombies outside the city can find a way to use them."
