Chapter 171: The Danger in Shangjing, Seeking Help From Luozhou!
Go to the capital.
Military Staff Department.
General Staff Wu Songyang, General Martial Arts Advisor Hong Yuxun, as well as Zhao Jiajun, Du Xuebing, Chen Dapeng and others who had just broken through to the Grandmaster level gathered together.
Everyone had a sad look on their face, so thick that they couldn't get rid of it.
"Today, some people from Jishan City desperately came to Beijing to rescue, saying that there has been a famine for seven days, and more than 500 people have died of starvation!"
"In order to save food rations and allow more valuable people to survive, many old people and disabled soldiers in Jishan City even began to take the initiative to leave the city and feed themselves to monsters!"
"This is shocking, everyone!"
Wu Songyang pinched the tip of his eyebrows with both hands. He had not slept for five consecutive days, his eyes were red and his face was full of exhaustion.
The surrounding cities continued to ask for help and food from the capital, but little did they know that Shangjing City was also facing a situation that was about to unravel the pot.
"In fact, not only the surrounding cities, but also the surplus food in our capital city is actually running out!"
Wu Songyang sighed helplessly:
"This is the result of continuous efforts to increase revenue and reduce expenditure after Consultant Liu sent the collection manual, which greatly reduced the pressure on food!"
"There is no way. There are too many ordinary residents in Shangjing City. They have not entered the martial arts and cannot eat the flesh and blood of monsters. They can only live on the surplus food in the reserve granary!"
"But the food reserves are limited after all, and there will be a day when everything is empty!"
"We have to find a way!"
"Otherwise, within a few days, famine and turmoil will inevitably occur in Shangjing City, and there will also be tragedies in which ordinary residents starve to death in waves!"
Food is the most important thing for the people.
If you can't even guarantee the most basic food, many people will go crazy!
Under extreme circumstances, anything is possible!
"General Staff Wu is right." Hong Yuxun responded: "But in the current situation, where can we get food?"
"The grain storage bureau outside the city was completely destroyed when the demonic disaster first came. Tens of millions of tons of grain reserves were destroyed in one fell swoop!"
"As for the surrounding villages and towns, we have sent people to search them all for more than a month, and the food we can find is extremely limited!"
"What's more serious is that because of the existence of demon disasters, 90% of the cultivated land in Daxia has been abandoned."
"Here in the north, we have already missed the time to sow winter wheat. Even if we survive the spring and the summer harvest in June, we will still have no harvest!"
"So, General Staff Wu, I think we should recognize the reality clearly. Large-scale famine and unrest are inevitable!"
"For ordinary people, if they want to escape famine and survive in the apocalypse, they can only embark on the path of martial arts!"
"Only by advancing to become a warrior can you feed on the flesh and blood of monsters and survive in the apocalypse of famine!"
Although it is cruel, this is the reality.
Natural selection, survival of the fittest!
If ordinary people want to survive, they can only practice martial arts desperately and successfully step into the martial arts threshold before famine completely comes.
Otherwise, you have to leave it to fate and it all depends on luck.
"Yes, Master is right." Zhao Jiajun also nodded and echoed: "The reality is like this, you have no control over it at all!"
"Fortunately, Advisor Liu came here last time and brought a set of ancient breathing techniques, which greatly stimulated and improved the efficiency and possibility of ordinary people being promoted to warriors."
"In the past two months, the number of ordinary people who have successfully advanced to become warriors in the capital has increased by a total of 230,000!"
"This is undoubtedly a good start. As time goes by, this number will definitely continue to rise!"
Wu Songyang couldn't help but shook his head slightly when he heard this.
"Far from enough, far from enough!"
"Not talking about the whole country, there are as many as five million ordinary people in the capital city who have not yet set foot in martial arts!"
"Two hundred and thirty thousand, only five percent of it, a drop in the bucket, a drop in the bucket!"
“What to do with the remaining ninety-five percent?”
"Are we just going to have to watch them all starve to death bit by bit in the famine?"
brush!
There was silence in the conference room.
The problem seems to be back to square one.
There is not enough food, and whatever they say here seems to be just empty talk.
Although as early as the first demon disaster broke out, many people had already anticipated that a food crisis might break out in Daxia, and were already secretly collecting and storing food for disaster relief.
But they never expected that this food crisis would come so quickly and so fiercely.
This was after experiencing three demonic disasters that killed and injured nearly 90% of the residents in major cities.
Otherwise, with so many mouths open and waiting for food, no city can survive for more than a month!
"If that doesn't work, send someone to Luozhou to find Consultant Liu!"
Hong Yuxun said: "Consultant Liu is a disciple of the Prophet after all. Maybe he already has a plan for this situation!"
"Furthermore, Dongyang Province is known as the granary of Great Xia, and the food reserves in major cities must be extremely abundant. If possible, you might as well bring some back as alms!"
When Wu Songyang heard this, he couldn't help but nodded slightly.
On this point, Mr. Hong thought of it together with him.
More than two months have passed since Liu Zimo last left Shangjing.
Moreover, not long ago, various parts of the earth had just experienced the third demon disaster, and Liu Zimo's family was also in Luozhou.
If nothing unexpected happened, Liu Zimo had already returned to Luozhou long before the demon disaster broke out.
After all, in the eyes of people like Wu Songyang and Hong Yuxun, Liu Zimo was a disciple of the prophet. How could he not know when the third demonic disaster would break out?
Therefore, sending people to Luozhou to look for him at this time must be accurate!
"I go!"
"I go!"
"Let me go!"
As soon as Hong Yuxun finished speaking, several masters present stood up and asked for orders. They all wanted to rush to Luozhou City to visit Advisor Liu and take the opportunity to listen to the teachings.
When Wu Songyang and Hong Yuxun saw this, they couldn't help but look at each other and communicated with each other.
Soon, they unanimously agreed, and Wu Songyang finally gave the order:
"Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing obey orders!"
brush!
Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing stood up at the same time, staring at Wu Songyang with burning eyes.
"I order the two of you to rush to Luozhou City together. You must meet with Advisor Liu in person and ask him for advice on how Daxia can survive the current situation."
"In addition, please bring this commendation order and the National Medal issued by Guozhu himself. On behalf of Guozhu, and on behalf of our Military Staff Department, I would like to thank Advisor Liu for his many contributions to Daxia in the past two months! "
As more and more surrounding cities began to take the initiative to establish connections with Shangjing City.
Liu Zimo's previous deeds of traveling around various cities and saving them and Yu Shuihuo in the name of the Military Staff Headquarters were also exposed one by one.
It was only then that Wu Songyang and others knew the general trajectory of Liu Zimo's activities along the way, as well as the many charitable and righteous deeds he had done during this time!
After knowing the news, several national pillars immediately made the decision to award Liu Zimo a commendation order and a national medal.
But Liu Zimo never came back, so the commendation order and the National Medal could only be temporarily stored at the Military Staff Headquarters.
Now that the two great masters Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing have to be sent to Luozhou, they naturally have to bring the commendation order and the National Medal together to show their sincerity.
"Yes, General Staff Wu! Promise to complete the mission!"
Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing stood up to take orders at the same time, with excitement in their eyes.
Being able to represent several national pillars and the Military Staff Headquarters to issue a commendation order and the National Medal to Advisor Liu is a supreme honor for them, right?
"Okay, let's get this done sooner rather than later. Let's set off now!"
Wu Songyang solemnly took out the commendation order and the National Medal that had been kept close to him, handed them over to Zhao Jiajun and Zhao Jiajun, and urged them to set off immediately.
After all, time waits for no one!
Every minute they delay here, the possibility of starvation in the capital and surrounding cities will increase.
Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing stretched out their hands solemnly at the same time, took the commendation order and the National Medal one by one and put them away close to their bodies.
After saluting Wu Songyang and Hong Yuxun again, they both flew up and headed south in lightning!
When the master travels, the demons make changes.
At least at this time of year, no demonic beast dared to intercept and kill two powerful human beings at the Grand Master level.
Therefore, Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing had an unimpeded journey, and at a master-level flying speed, they successfully arrived outside Luozhou City in less than fifty minutes.
This was the reason why they took several detours along the way because there was no navigation guidance.
Otherwise, they would be able to fly to Luozhou in less than half an hour.
At this time, it was around nine o'clock in the morning. The residents of Luozhou City had already gotten up early, and the streets were also bustling with activity.
Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing stood over the city and leaned over to watch. They saw the peaceful scene where the citizens in Luozhou City were living and working in peace and contentment. They were actually much more comfortable than the capital city. They couldn't help but admire in their hearts.
As expected of the land that Advisor Liu is covering, it is indeed extraordinary.
Almost all nearby cities were experiencing famine, people were starving to death, and victims were everywhere.
Only the residents in Luozhou City live a normal life like normal people!
In this way, they became even more convinced that Advisor Liu would have a way to solve the famine problem faced by most cities in Shangjing and Daxia.
"Battle Commander Du, do you think we should go to the Military Staff Office or go directly to Advisor Liu's residence?"
In the stagnant void, Zhao Jiajun looked down at Luozhou City and asked Du Xuebing softly.
Du Xuebing didn't think much and said directly:
"It's better to go to the Military Staff Office in Luozhou City first!"
"When we come here this time, we represent not only ourselves, but also several national pillars and the Military Staff Headquarters. We need to be more formal to look good!"
Since a commendation order and a national medal are to be issued, it is always a bit unconventional to come directly to the door.
According to the rules of the military, issuing a medal of honor of this level before the disaster would be enough to be witnessed by the whole country.
The current situation is special and everything needs to be kept simple.
But no matter what, it must be awarded in a formal unit, and it will be more formal if many military staff members from the Military Staff Office are invited to witness it!
Zhao Jiajun nodded slightly and said, "In that case, let's go to the Military Staff Office first!"
With that said, the two of them leaned down at the same time and rushed straight to the Military Energy Department station in Luozhou City.
boom!
When they landed only about 300 meters from the ground, they felt their bodies shaken and were trapped in the air without control, unable to move!
"Saint-level warriors?!"
"And there are two?!"
"In addition to Consultant Liu, there are other Saint-level warriors in Luozhou City?!"
Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing were both shocked and surprised!
They were already in the Grandmaster Realm, and because they often came into contact with Hong Yuxun, who had already entered the Martial Saint Realm, they were already familiar with the aura of the Manifest Saint Realm warriors.
Therefore, at the moment their bodies were restrained, they had already judged the cultivation level of the attacker.
One in the east and one in the west, two Saint-level auras locked them at the same time!
Two Manifest Saint Realm warriors!
If we add the more mysterious Consultant Liu, then Luozhou City would not have three Manifest Saint Realm warriors or even stronger ones sitting in the city to protect it? !
Is it too exaggerated? !
If we calculate it this way, even Shangjing City is far from being a match for Luozhou City in terms of high-end combat power!
"Amitabha!"
"Why did the two donors trespass into Luozhou City?"
"Wulian Tianzun!"
"You two kind people came uninvited and wanted to enter the city without handing in a visiting card. I'm afraid it's a bit against the rules, right?"
Almost at the same time, Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing heard the sound of the soul transmission at the same time.
One chanted Buddha, the other chanted Taoism, both of which were unfathomable!
"Two seniors, please understand!"
Zhao Jiajun said loudly:
"We are the special envoys of the Shangjing Military Affairs Department. We have come here to visit Consultant Liu Zimo. If we have offended the two seniors, please be generous and let us go!"
After saying that, Zhao Jiajun felt that the restraints on his body loosened, and he instantly regained his freedom.
At the same time, the soul transmission sounded in his ears again:
"Oh, it turns out to be the guest of Consultant Liu!"
"Well, one of them seems to be the disciple of the old man Hong Yuxun, it should not be fake!"
"In that case, please do as you please!"
"Remember, after entering the city, do not use force without authorization, otherwise it will violate the military control regulations, even if Hong Yuxun comes in person, he can't protect you!"
After two solemn warnings, the two thoughts of the monk and the Taoist disappeared at the same time.
Zhao Jiajun and Du Xuebing, who regained their freedom, looked at each other and couldn't help but clamp their tails at the same time, turning into elementary school students in a second, not daring to be arrogant and presumptuous!
Just kidding, two big guys in the realm of the Holy Manifestation are in charge, I'm afraid that even if Old Hong comes in person, he won't be able to get anything good!
So, it's better to be honest!
Their identities as special envoys to the capital and the Grandmaster realm are really not enough in this Luozhou City!
