Chapter 229 - 229 225 Injured Pride
?Chapter 229: Chapter 225: Injured Pride Chapter 229: Chapter 225: Injured Pride Gao Yuan and the others gathered together, and Zhao Qiang said in a low voice, “The survivors around Almaty have been rounded up, but it’s not like our shelter. The soldiers have mutinied. A major led the way, killing the officers who tried to maintain order, and turned the entire area around Almaty into their kingdom, having absolute power over the lives of the survivors, doing as they pleased.”
That’s normal, that should be the norm in the apocalypse, but Cao Zhenjiang was extremely shocked, “Can they really do that? Do they dare?”
Gao Yuan waved his hand, “There’s no point talking about that, why wouldn’t they dare? Who’s left to control them?”
Cao Zhenjiang touched his chin, “Then they must be having a great time…”
Seeing the astonished looks of the others, Cao Zhenjiang quickly said, “I’m not saying I want to be like them, Boss Zhao, please continue with the situation report.”
Zhao Qiang said, “They intercepted us because they were coveting our supplies, not only food but also our night vision goggles, even lighters are extremely scarce and valuable goods, as well as batteries. So we might think we haven’t brought much, but in their eyes, we are walking treasure troves, not robbing us would be unthinkable.”
After speaking, Zhao Qiang hesitated, “The task of those people last night was not to set up roadblocks; they never imagined that anyone would still come through the highway. Their task was to monitor the dynamics of the zombies in the city. This highway is north of Almaty, and the area occupied by the rebel forces is even further north in the countryside, several villages have been taken over, which are still more than twenty kilometers away from here.”
Panxin spoke in a low voice, “More than twenty kilometers? Can’t we just go around?”
Zhao Qiang said, “This area is full of farmlands and orchards. Once off the highway, it’s not flat wasteland but orchards and fields crisscrossed by ditches, so it’s hard to say if we can detour, and according to the captive’s testimony, the rebel forces have set up more than a dozen observation posts, big and small, with the larger ones having thirty to fifty people, and the small ones only one or two.”
Gao Yuan shook his head, “Detouring is not so straightforward. Last night’s conflict would have surely drawn out the city’s zombies. Now going back there, we would have to face at least tens of thousands of zombies.”
Zhao Qiang said, “Oh, the prisoner said their observation posts are all five kilometers away from the city area. That far, can they really attract zombies?”
Gao Yuan thought for a moment, “Five kilometers?”
“Five kilometers!”
