《Kali Yuga》Chapter 69. Leaving Gutian Town.
Advertisement
Less than half an hour, Huang Wen, Song Jian and Yu Hee already on the road, on their way to leave Gutian Town.
It was around eight PM by then, many people still hung around the street. The three attracted attention, because it was obvious from their attire and the bag they were carrying that they were leaving the town. But the idea of leaving the town was absurd. A million zombies surrounded the town, how did they plan to leave the town?
As if it wasn't enough to attract people's attention, a squad of soldiers suddenly appeared and blocked their path.
"Greeting young man. Aren't you the one who broke through the siege from outside to enter this town several days ago?", their leader spoke politely, but his eyes were cold.
He was Sergeant Wen Gao, who responsible for the town's public 'security'. Behind him, some of the soldiers, raised their rifles threateningly.
Huang Wen whispered to Song Jian and Yu Hee, "Stay behind me."
He then formed an invisible physical barrier around them. Although it was the same skill, with his insight, he could freely decided how big or how thick the barrier would be.
"It's me. I'm looking for my family from Tingdan Village, I found them and now I want to bring them to my place.", only after he secured Song Jian and Yu Hee, that Huang Wen answered.
"But it's already late. Why don't you leave tomorrow? After you meet with our commander, Colonel Wen Liang. A few days ago, he said he is interested with how you broke through the siege.", said Sergeant Wen Gao.
"Listen, my father passed away a few days ago. I'm not in the mood for chit-chat. Either you moved away, or I'll make you.", said Huang Wen and without any hesitation he drew his bastard sword.
"You ... are you threatening us?", the Sergeant Wen Gao's eyes bulge in anger.
They were treated like lords and kings in the town. No one dared to oppose them. Now, this young man, alone, have nothing on him but a sword, dared to threat him. Sergeant Wen Gao wanted to vent his anger, but at the same time they were watched by many eye witnesses. The public security corps, used to use hidden threat and took care those who were opposing them secretly. That was the instruction that they were received from Colonel Wen Liang. That was why Sergeant Wen Gao hesitated to take any action against Huang Wen in front of so many witnesses.
When Colonel Wen Liang gave him the order, it never crossed Sergeant Wen Gao's mind that someone might blatantly refused to follow their order. Their usual method to deal with rebellious men, wouldn't work here, because Huang Wen was leaving the town. They had to seize him before he left the town.
Besides it was been a while, since anyone dared to oppose them. The soldiers could feel how Huang Wen's deviant raised their anger. Some of them already aimed at him, but Sergeant Wen Gao quickly grabbed it and pointed it down.
"Don't be stupid! If they want to leave the town, then let them. We can't punish people for refusing our hospitality.", he reprimanded the soldier.

He turned to Huang Wen and coldly said, "Well, if you refuse our hospitality, then what can we do? On your way then."
He moved away, followed by his men. Huang Wen nodded his head and walked, followed by Yu Hee and Song Jian behind her. Sergeant Wen Gao and his men, watched them with eyes filled with malicious intent. They were just walking tens of meters when another group of soldiers appeared.
Five jeeps, filled with soldier, marched in and stopped few meters away from Huang Wen. Huang Wen calmly watched tens of soldiers got out of the jeeps.
This time, they were led by Captain Zhao Qing, his men reported to him of Huang Wen's departure. He quickly assigned one of his staff to take over his post. He assembled a small group of soldiers to come with him. Among them was the sergeant who volunteered to help Huang Wen when he tried to break through the zombies and entered Gutian Town.
Captain Zhao Qing approached Huang Wen and smiled warmly, "Well, it seem you found your family. Are you planning to leave the town tonight? Is there any reason why you have to be in such a hurry?"
Since Captain Zhao Qing greeted him politely, Huang Wen politely nodded his head and answered, "Yes, thanks to your help, I found them, now I want to bring them to my place at Nanping."
Captain Zhao Qing shook his head, "I just asked someone to take you to the area where people from Tingdan Village lived. I'm sorry, but I happened to hear just then, is it true that your father just passed away few days ago?"
Of course Captain Zhao already knew that. His men kept an eye on Huang Wen for days. But he pretended to hear it just now, when Sergeant Wen Gao stopped Huang Wen. At the same time, Sergeant Wen Gao who saw Captain Zhao Qing came with his men, secretly sent one of his men to inform Colonel Wen Liang. Meanwhile, Huang Wen was having a warm conversation with Captain Zhao Qing. Captain Zhao Qing and the sergeant who helped Huang Wen previously, who was called Sergeant Sun Bai, expressed their condolence. Huang Wen received it gratefully, after a while, Captain Zhao Qing returned the topic back to Huang Wen's departure.
"Brother Huang, is there any specific reason why you're leaving in a hurry?", he asked, he called him Brother Huang now.
Huang Wen sighed and answered, "The truth is, I'm leading a group of 30 men from Nanping in my attempt to find my family. I was devastated by my father's death. I totally forgot about them and left them outside Gutian Town for almost a week now. I'm worried about their safety. That's why I can't wait even another night. What would happen to them, if they tried to break through the siege? I'll feel terrible if one of them died because of me."
Captain Zhao Qing nodded his head and quietly considered the problem, carefully he said, "You know, the problem is, it seem Colonel Wen Liang interested in you and not willing to let you go. That man is Sergeant Wen Gao, one of his trusted man."

Huang Wen shrugged his shoulder, "I have nothing special in me. Even if I have a bit skill in fighting, it means nothing against hundred thousands of zombies. They were careless last time, but the next time it won't be that easy."
Captain Zhao Qing smirked when he heard it, "You say that, but the fact is, you're taking your family to break through them once again, tonight."
Huang Wen caught off guard and sheepishly smiled, "Well, I still have few tricks on my sleeve. But it's nothing useful in a real battle."
Captain Zhao Qing didn't pursue it further, he just laughed it off.
"Well, listen, I know this Colonel Wen Liang, I can't say that I like his personality. But ... in this case, I agree with him, I wish you could stay for another day and have some discussion with us. You see, we're in quite a problem right now. Although the zombies didn't invade this town, we're completely trapped inside. Several attempts were made in the past, to send few units to break through the siege. The zombies wasn't the problem, but it was their leader. They showed some unbelievable skills, once they made a move, not one of us could survive.", said Captain Zhao Qing seriously.
"I know you have such skills when I saw you killed one of them the other day. Right now, we're under their mercy. They could wiped us out anytime they want. Our only chance to survive is you. We're not trying to make enemy out of you, we just desperately trying to survive here.", said Captain Zhao Qing.
Since Captain Zhao Qing asked him politely and he couldn't deny the fact that their situation wasn't good, Huang Wen couldn't refuse his request the way he refused Sergeant Wen Gao's. Huang Wen hesitated.
"Captain Zhao, at this time, it is not that I don't want to help you, but I couldn't. I just lost my father and I'm not willing to lose my brother and sister. Let me and my family through. I promise you, once I safely reached my men out there and bring my family safely to Nanping, I will do my best to help you here in Gutian Town.", said Huang Wen earnestly.
Captain Zhao Qing frowned, "But how long it takes for you to reach Nanping and returned here?"
Huang Wen answered, "I think we could reach Nanping in a week and as soon as I reach Nanping, I'll definitely think of something to help you here in Gutian Town. Perhaps you have to hold on for three weeks or four."
Captain Zhao Qing asked, "How many people live in Nanping? If you send reinforcement from Nanping, how many people you could send? How strong are they?"
Huang Wen answered, "Last time I left the city, there were about six hundred thousands people live in Nanping. More than half have experience in battle against zombies. There were hundreds who as strong as me. Close to one hundred are stronger than me."
Captain Zhao Qing stared Huang Wen suspiciously, he didn't believed those numbers. At the same time, he realized that Huang Wen wouldn't give that information even under torture.
Captain Zhao Qing sighed, "Colonel Wen Liang, won't let you go that easily."
Huang Wen politely smiled and said, "If Captain Zhao Qing allow me to leave then Captain Zhao could hope for a reinforcement. I promise, I will do my best to help you and people who lived in Gutian Town. But if Captain Zhao and Colonel Wen, insisted on keeping me here, then although I have no confidence at escaping, I can assure you, the casualties on your side won't be small either."
Captain Zhao Qing frowned but after hesitating for a few minutes he nodded his head, "Like I said, I don't want to make enemies out of you. I think I could talk Colonel Wen Liang to it. He's not stupid either."
"Then, I'll take my leave.", said Huang Wen as he bowed politely.
"Yes, you can go now. Sergeant Sun, give them a ride, accompany them until they reach our post, make sure no one give them problem along the way. Once they reach our post, it's up to them, how they would leave the town.", said Captain Zhao Qing.
"Yes, sir.", said Sergeant Sun Bai, who quickly caught up with Huang Wen.
"Brother Huang, please ride with us. We'll take you to our post.", said Sergeant Sun Bai, as he pointed at one of their jeep.
Huang Wen didn't hesitate, he thanked Sun Bai and got in to the jeep. Soon they were leaving toward Gutian Town's border. While Captain Zhao Qing walked toward Sergeant Wen Gao.
"Wen Gao, take me to Colonel Wen Liang.", said Zhao Qing to Wen Gao.
When Sergeant Wen Gao opened his mouth, Captain Zhao Qing growled, "Don't make me angry now."
Zhao Qing was known as fierce man, even among his colleagues. Although his relation with Colonel Wen Liang was a bit restrained, the colonel didn't make an enemy out of him too. That was why, Sergeant Wen Gao decided to obey his order.
"Well, I hope Captain Zhao Qing would explain it to Colonel Wen.", said Sergeant Wen Gao politely.
"Hmm... he won't blame you.", said Captain Zhao Qing curtly.
Sergeant Wen Gao didn't dare to tarry, he quickly led Captain Zhao Qing to meet Colonel Wen Liang.
With Sergeant Sun Bai and Captain Zhao Qing's name, Huang Wen, Song Jian and Yu Hee easily made their way, out of the town. It only took few minutes. Now, Huang Wen, Song Jian and Yu Hee stood outside the barricades that protected the town. In front of them was an open field, filled with zombies.
"How are we going to pass that?", Song Jian asked.
He watched hundred thousands of zombies that stretched far into the horizon, in awe and fear.
Huang Wen replied, "Don't worry, I already prepared something. Sister in law, are you okay with carrying A Fei?"
"Yes, I'm fine. Little brother, go lead the way. Don't worry about me. I'm used to work in the farm and do physical labor. Carrying little A Fei for few kilometers won't be a problem.", said Yu Hee.
Huang Wen nodded satisfied, "Good. But now, we'll have to wait."
Silently Huang Wen contacted Fengsu and waited for a reply.
