Chapter 237: Killing (500,000 words)
The four words of King of Steel Bone were the turning point of their fate. When they heard this, they immediately became energetic. They leaned quietly in the direction of their voices. When they looked over, they saw that there were two low-level officials from the Giant Rock City. They were holding bread, pickles and dried milk and spicy sauce, chatting while gnawing.
"King of steel bones? Isn't that an undead creature? I heard it is a moving bone frame, so cunning. Why is it said that only he can save humans?" asked a red-clad person.
A green-clad man next to him said, "Do you know how great the disaster this time the abyss is?"
Red clothes shook his head, but his expression was solemn. Even if he didn't know how heavy it was, based on the disaster situation in Giant Rock City, other places are not much better.
Green Clothes sighed: "Basically the whole world is affected. You go and see the Mercenary Guild, the Thieves Guild, and the Dead Guild. The tasks released now are all food, cloth, tents, medicines, etc. The locations are all over the continent, and the demand is still very large. I just sorted out this information. I know very well. Do you know what this means?"
Red clothes shook his head.
"The area of disaster is large and the number of people affected is large. No one cares about others. It means that everyone must save themselves. In the past, there was not enough food, so they went to other cities to buy things, and they had no more things to buy in other cities. Now they can't buy in the whole world, and they all have to produce them themselves. Oh my God, our Stone City was not a grain production place, and in the past, could they exchange minerals for grain, where to exchange now?"
Hong Cloth finally understood the seriousness of the matter, stared at her eyes and said, "Will we cause famine?"
"It's not just a famine, roads are interrupted, supplies are scarce, food and clothing, no medicine, a large number of people and animals die, and there is no burial. When the weather is hot, there is a plague and more people will die by then." Green Clothes said with a frown.
The red-clothed face turned pale. The plague is a disaster that is even more terrible than an earthquake. When the earthquake hides in the wilderness, it will not be easy to die as long as it does not touch the cracks of the earth. The plague is impossible to even hide. The entire village is often dead.
"Then why is it said that only the King of Steel Bone can save us?" Hong Cloth no longer talks about humans, but says 'save us' because he has already put himself in the group that is about to be affected by disaster, and the sense of urgency is completely different.
"You think, there are more than one billion undead creatures under the command of the King of Steel Bone. The roads are not smooth, can they build roads? They don't have enough food, can they transport grain? We rely on us to transport grain. It will consume more than ten kilograms of grain when transporting in twenty kilograms of grain. Immortal creatures don't have to eat and drink, and twenty kilograms of grain can transport twenty kilograms."
"Let's talk about plague. If a plague occurs, it's best to isolate it first, but who will quarantine? We will definitely go there at that time. What if we are infected too? Let the undead creatures come without this worry, and they will not be infected with plague."
"Even in a village without roads, the King of Steel Bone has a flying skeleton that can completely drop medicine and food. Only he has enough manpower and convenience to complete the disaster relief work in a very short time. If the delay is too long, the dead will be doro."
Hearing this, Mafa and Bidu looked at each other. Since the disaster relief work was in progress, Mafa has breathed a sigh of relief. The people who can be rescued have been rescued, and the next step is to cure the aftermath.
But now, after hearing what Green Clothes said, it turns out that the difficulties have not passed. Now is the beginning of the disaster, and the analysis is very reasonable.
Mafa could no longer sit still, ran back to the city, found the information released by major guilds after the disaster, and saw that, sure enough, whether it was the guild guild or the chamber of commerce, it was published with various purchase information, involving basic disaster relief materials such as grain, cloth, tents, medicine, etc. Even the slave chamber of commerce did not collect slaves, but collected a large amount of food.
Let’s look at the location of the release, which is spread throughout the continent, that is, the disaster area spreads all over the world.
"Uncle, how much food is left in the city?" asked Mafa.
Bi Du checked the records for a while and said, "There is probably enough food for the whole city to have three months of food."
Jushi City is not a grain-producing area, so there is a lot of grain reserves because it is just the official grain storage, but the grain circulation field mainly relies on big merchants and landlords, who are the big grain storage households. The official grain reserves are mainly used for emergency response.
Now is the most urgent moment. Three months of grain storage should have been enough. Three months, the slowest caravan transported the grain from other places.
But according to the current situation, let alone three months, it is a question whether you can buy food before the autumn harvest next year.
Mafa pursed his lips stubbornly: "I don't want to find steel bones. I don't believe it. There is no food sold in the world!"
In the next two days, Mafa began his own journey of hitting the wall.
"Food? No, Lord, our family has a large population and we don't have enough food to eat. How can there be any excess food for sale?" said the largest landlord in Jushi City, with a sad face.
This person has opened up tens of thousands of acres of terraced fields in a valley in the Hengduan Mountains, and his annual grain output can fill several official granaries.
Looking at Mafa's slowly brows, the landlord quickly explained: "My Lord, I didn't lie to you. All my terraces have collapsed. In the next few years, I will need a large number of people to reclaim new fields. The food stored at home is not enough, and it is not that I will not give you face."
Mafa returned without success and came to the Green Field Chamber of Commerce, the largest grain chamber in the Rock City. This is a chamber of commerce established by druids, specializing in commercial activities related to grain trade and various plants.
The branch president of the Chamber of Commerce said with a sad face: "Master Lord, if you can let our grain team come over, I will sell you as much as the grain. I can't get through. Every time I go to a place, as long as I see it is a grain truck, those guys are crazy, with a premium of twice, three times, five or six times, and it's not OK to sell it."
After visiting all the places where there is food storage, Mafa was in a panic. Anyway, everyone has their own difficulty, but there is no food. Not only food, cloth, medicine, wine, building materials, horses, livestock, etc., there is nothing.
When I contacted Luo Xu in the evening, Mafa was crying, and the voice could be heard that he had cried for a long time: "Your Majesty, only you can save humanity, only you can save the Stone City."
After hearing Mafa's description, Luo Heng felt nervous and jumped up and cursed: "Scared? Only the King of Steel Bone can save humanity? Who is framed by me?"
Luo Heng is not a god. He can turn his hand around and turn it into a pile of food. Without sufficient supplies, how can he save humans? This is clearly a praising and killing.
