Chapter 171: In danger of going to Beijing, ask for 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 kept asking for help and food from the capital, but little did they know that Shangjing City was also facing a situation that was about to end.
"In fact, not only the surrounding cities, but also the surplus grain 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 had been completely destroyed when the demonic disaster first came. Tens of millions of tons of grain reserves were destroyed in one go!"
"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 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 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 shake 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 our capital city who have not yet set foot in martial arts!"
"Two hundred and thirty thousand is only five percent of the total. It's just 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 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 Daxia, and the food reserves in major cities must be extremely abundant. If possible, you might as well bring some back as a beggar!"
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.
And not long ago, various parts of the earth just experienced the third demon disaster, and Liu Zimo's family was also in Luozhou.
If nothing else, 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 finally Wu Songyang gave the order:
"Zhao Jiajun, Du Xuebing listen to the order!"
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 to overcome the current situation in Daxia?"
"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 increases.
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.
