C686 Retreat Route
If they were to bring a thousand soldiers, the first problem they would face would be transportation.
It had snowed heavily in the winter in the north. Even the Tuer Town that was fifty kilometers away today had taken half a day, let alone two hundred kilometers.
If Huhhot City's corpse group took advantage of this opportunity to attack the gathering place, the consequences would be unimaginable. Of course, it was impossible for the corpse group to have such a coincidence, but Wang Yi had to consider thoroughly.
"How about this, you wait outside for a while, I want to discuss this matter with my subordinates."
Wang Yi said and called Wei Ping to take Hu Meng away.
Not long later, the group of main members arrived at the assembly point.
"Sit down."
Wang Yi glanced at them. Other than Xu Liqiang, who was counting the goods outside, everyone else was present.
"Bro Yi, what is this?" The moment Yang Bing sat down, his gaze fell on the package on the table.
"That is my main purpose in calling you here."
As Wang Yi spoke, he directly opened the package.
"Coal!"
Yang Bing exclaimed in surprise.
"Where did this come from?" Luo Heng was confused.
According to his knowledge, there was no place that produced coal near Huhhot City.
"Did that person just bring it?" Lee Weiping had met Hu Meng before.
"Right."
Wang Yi nodded and repeated what Hu Meng said.
"Tongshan City, is too far away." After Yang Bing heard this, he rubbed his forehead with a little melancholy.
He and Wang Yi had the same thought, and felt that Tongshan City was too far away from the gathering point. Also, bringing a thousand soldiers would affect the defense of the gathering point.
"If only they were nearby." Luo Heng said with a sigh. He also knew how important coal was to the gathering place.
The others sighed and shook their heads.
"Bro Yi, what do you want to do?" Yang Bing suddenly asked.
"I want to go." Wang Yi said.
"Why, although this coal is very important to us, this trip out doesn't seem like a Tuer Town." Yang Bing said worriedly.
Tuer Town was only fifty kilometers away from the Grand Green Mountain, so no matter what happened, he would be able to provide timely support. As for Tongshan City, if a thousand soldiers were to be dispatched, it would be like a kite with its string cut.
Whether they lived or died could not be guaranteed. Perhaps, it was not impossible for these thousand soldiers to come up with a way out for themselves. It was only for a little bit of coal, not worth it.
"No, you misunderstand me." Wang Yi shook his head and continued.
"I didn't plan to send troops back to Tongshan City this time around."
"Don't let them come back!"
Yang Bing couldn't help but to stand up from his chair and ask in surprise.1
"Bro Yi, you mean to say that we should establish another gathering place in Tongshan?"
Yang Bing undoubtedly knew Wang Yi. He knew that Wang Yi would not give up any opportunity to increase his own strength, nor would he allow other reasons to reduce his own strength.
"That's right." Wang Yi nodded seriously.
Although the location where Grand Green Mountain were gathered was superior and there were enough survivors, the only weakness was that they were too close to the Huhhot City.
It was less than thirty kilometers.
It could be said that the gathering point was included in the attacking range of the Huhhot City's inner corpse group. As long as they were willing, they could definitely ambush Huhhot City within half a day.
However, this was not the main reason why Wang Yi decided to establish another gathering place in Tongshan City.
The real reason was that strange Zombie King that Wang Yi met in Huhhot City.
Wang Yi couldn't tell what it meant to him, so he asked the group of corpses to bring Wang Yi to his side and finally let him go.
This kind of unfounded situation caused Wang Yi to have difficulty sleeping and eating.
Therefore, Wang Yi wanted to establish a gathering place in Tongshan City, or rather, a path of retreat. Wang Yi and his men did not have anywhere to go after Grand Green Mountain City was invaded by the corpses.
"Bro Yi, how many men are you planning to send?" Yang Bing asked hesitantly.
"Five hundred soldiers." Wang Yi waved his finger and pointed at the coal on the table.
"These five hundred soldiers are just the first to invest. When we get better out of it, I will invest more soldiers and build the gathering area of Tongshan into a fortress. The resource-type gathering area will provide coal resources for the Grand Green Mountain gathering area in an endless flow of time."
"Bro Yi, I understand." Lee Weiping suddenly stood up and said.
"You want to make our Grand Green Mountain's gathering place a corner of our Grand Green Mountain's gathering place, that no matter which party is attacked, the other party can support or even use it as a retreat path!"
"That's right." Wang Yi nodded.
That was what he had in mind. It was not worth it to gather all these miles just for a bit of coal.
Although he was still in the early stage of the apocalypse, the danger was not weak at all. It was impossible for Wang Yi to not find a way out for himself.
"If that's the case, then wouldn't it be a little too little to only bid for five hundred soldiers?"
Luo Heng said hesitantly.
