#352 - Chapter 352 Arrival in Pingxi City

After the denunciation meeting, Que Xin appointed a new person in charge of the resettlement camp.

50,000 civilian soldiers rested here briefly.

At 10 a.m., Que Xin led the soldiers out again, their next destination being: Pingxi City.

Pingxi City is a prefecture-level city in Liaoshen Province, located east of Fengtian City and west of Andong City.

Pingxi City has three resettlement camps under its jurisdiction: Nangou Resettlement Camp, Beigou Resettlement Camp, and Xihu Resettlement Camp.

The geographical locations of the three resettlement camps are: Beigou Resettlement Camp in the north, Xihu Resettlement Camp in the south, and Nangou Resettlement Camp in the middle.

Que Xin planned to bypass Xihu Resettlement Camp and head directly to Nangou Resettlement Camp, because the mayor of Pingxi City was there. As long as Nangou Resettlement Camp was taken, the other two resettlement camps would be easy to deal with.

It was 80 kilometers from Fenghuang City to Pingxi City, and the extensive railway network spared them the hardship of traveling.

Taking Nangou Resettlement Camp was not difficult, the difficulty lay in the fact that Pingxi City was not within his jurisdiction. Even if he captured it, the people below might not obey him.

If he wanted to convince the people of the resettlement camp, he had to put on a good show and package the attack as an act of justice.

Que Xin had a plan for this.

Around 12:00 noon, the train arrived near Nangou Resettlement Camp.

Que Xin let most of the soldiers rest on the train, only taking about a thousand people with him.

Lun Jianian, the mayor of Pingxi City, was acquainted with Que Xin, but not familiar with him.

"Who are you?" The patrolling soldiers at the gate asked loudly and guardedly as soon as Que Xin arrived at the city.

Because there were no zombie attacks during the day, the resettlement camp's city gate would be opened for a period of time. During this time, the security team was divided into two groups, one inside and one outside the city, to be on duty.

The soldier who asked the question at this time was the security team member on duty outside the city.

"Little brother, I am Que Xin, the mayor of Andong City. I have an urgent matter to see your mayor, Lun Jianian. Please report it," Que Xin said, pretending to be very tired.

When the security team member heard that it was the mayor of Andong City, he did not dare to be presumptuous and immediately ran into the city.

More than half an hour passed, and the team member ran back alone.

"What's going on, little brother?" Que Xin asked.

"Mayor Que, our Mayor Lun is not feeling well and will not come to meet you. He asked me to take you there," the team member replied breathlessly.

It seemed that the prevention awareness of many resettlement camps was not strong enough, and it was too easy to let wolves into the house.

"It's okay, then you lead the way," Que Xin said, secretly overjoyed.

"Okay, Mayor Que, please," the team member politely gestured.

In this way, Que Xin led more than a thousand armed soldiers swaggering into Nangou Resettlement Camp.

"Mayor Lun, I haven't seen you for a while, how did you get so sick?" Que Xin asked with concern after seeing Lun Jianian.

"Mayor Que, you are laughing at me. This is actually an old problem, but it has become more serious since this year," Lun Jianian said weakly.

"What is the specific disease?" Que Xin asked.

"Stomach cancer, late stage," Lun Jianian replied, without avoiding it.

"This…," Que Xin shook his head, indicating that the disease really could not be cured now.

"Mayor Que, I wonder what you came to me for today?" Lun Jianian asked.

"Alas! Mayor Lun, I originally came here to ask you for help, but now it is really difficult to say," Que Xin sighed and shook his head.

"Mayor Que doesn't need to have any scruples. I will definitely help as long as I can," Lun Jianian stated.

"Then I'll be frank. Our Five Dragon Mountain Resettlement Camp was attacked by zombies last night, and many people died. I led the surviving people all the way here and now we have nowhere to go," Que Xin said.

Lun Jianian was speechless after listening.

He regretted that he had spoken too fully.

His promise to help Que Xin was based on the fact that he still had value. He knew that he did not have much time left and wanted to pave the way for his son before he died. Andong City and Benxi City were neighbors, and it would be very beneficial for his son to be on good terms with them.

But who would have thought that this Que Xin was actually a stray dog? It was obviously not worthwhile to help him for nothing.

"Then Mayor Que means…?" Lun Jianian pretended not to understand.

"Oh, I just wanted to ask Mayor Lun, can you take in the people of my Andong City?" Que Xin asked.

"Mayor Que, if I remember correctly, you Andong City also has a resettlement camp, called…, it seems to be called Fenghuang Mountain Resettlement Camp, right? Didn't you go there to take a look?" Lun Jianian asked.

"To be honest, I came from there. Something happened to Fenghuang Mountain too, and there is not a single living person left now," Que Xin lied.

"Is it that serious?" Lun Jianian was a little surprised.

"Yes! Otherwise, why would I have run all the way here to ask you for help?" Que Xin even used the word 'beg'.

"Mayor Que, as you also know, Pingxi is a small place with a small population and a small area. Even if I want to take you in, I don't have the ability!" Lun Jianian was refusing.

"If Mayor Lun feels embarrassed, it doesn't matter. I'll think of other ways," Que Xin didn't care.
