Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Growing up, Li Xiaoshu was afraid of the dark, so he always played hard during the day and left all his happiness in the sun.  He had never imagined that the continuous daylight would be so terrifying.

    A seven-year-old child only knows how to hide under the covers, but his parents have many more things to worry about.

    "How many days can we still eat the food at home?"

    In fact, there is no need to ask this question, Li Xinbao knows it very well.

    It can last for two months in total. If you eat sparingly, it is not impossible to extend it for another half month.  Although there is still a lot of money, everyone is hoarding food at this time. There is very little food on the market, and it is difficult to buy food even if you have money.

    "Wait a moment, take half a bag of food and follow me to Lao Wang's house."

    Li Xinbao made up his mind and said to his wife.

    "You're crazy. At this time, you can't even buy food with money, but you actually"

    "Food is no longer important, do you understand?"

    Looking back, the honest and honest Li Xinbao in the past was so strange in the eyes of his wife.

    "The most important thing is to survive. It doesn't matter whether you have food or not. What matters is whether others have food. In other words, whether you can keep your food and get food."

    Lao Wang is a carpenter, but few people know that he and Li Xinbao are cousins. A pair of heroes in the past have settled in Haizhou City today.

    "I'm going to invite Lao Wang and others to live here. We'll all be together and have someone to take care of us."

    There was a firm expression in Li Xinbao's eyes, as well as murderous intent.  He knows it very well.  Lao Wang and others also have the intention to unite, and everyone hopes to be able to stick together.

    ============

    Catcher Guo Xun pressed his knife on his waist.  Guard at the entrance of Midian.

    The same goes for the brothers behind him.  The long knives on everyone's waists were sharply polished, and protective goggles were tied on their chests.

    Time is already very confusing. No one can remember clearly whether it is day or night, let alone what time it is.

    Because of the government¡¯s order, rice stores must open.  The owner of the rice store and Inspector Guo are relatives.  Inspector Guo was specially invited to come over and maintain order.  And there were dozens of soldiers standing behind Inspector Guo.

    However, looking at the dark crowd in the distance, Inspector Guo felt a little bitter in his mouth.

    In Haizhou City, the price of food has been rising day by day in the past few days, but that's it, as long as the food is released.  It was immediately sold out.

    "You, come out, this is your second time in line."

    Lei Hua, his subordinate, grabbed a person and took him out of the team.

    "You admitted your mistake, I didn't. I finally got to the front of the queue, but you won't let me sell food, so let me go!"

    "How could I not know you? You are still my cousin. Come back and line up tomorrow!"

    He frowned.  Inspector Guo recognized this man, even though he was a cousin of Lei Hua.  But they have always been at odds with each other and even had a fight. I just don¡¯t know if Lei Hua is deliberately causing trouble or if this person is really lining up for the second time.

    In the past few days, my subordinates have become increasingly anxious.

    Grain stores have purchase restrictions, and each person can only buy half a catty per day.  The queue is very long, and often an hour or two has passed by the time the queue arrives.  But many people still have to wait in line to buy more food, and there are a lot of disputes about this.  If it hadn't been for the panic buying of food in Haizhou City a few days ago, there might have been trouble long ago.

    "ah!"

    Lei Hua suddenly shouted in pain and took a step back, while his cousin was waving a sharp knife in his hand.

    "You guys have already piled up food in your house. We can't even buy even half a catty of food. Let's go grab food together with me. Who knows how long this damn weather will last."

    ¡°Let¡¯s grab food, let¡¯s grab food!¡±

    "Yes, grab food!"

    Many people rushed forward crazily, not at all afraid of the long knife wielded by Inspector Guo.

    A quarter of an hour later.

    Six corpses fell to the ground, including a government official.

    Inspector Guo gasped and pressed the wound on his waist.

    This time the riot has subsided, but what about next time?

    Looking at the brothers around, everyone looked very panicked.  Just now, as long as the scale of the riot was larger, everything might be over.

    ============

    "A day in heaven is a year on earth."

    As he murmured these words, Kong Guozhang seemed to have suddenly become much older.

    Perhaps, this sentence can explain everything that happened, why the sky is still so bright, and why the reinforcements are not coming.  They will come in three daysBy that time, three years had passed in Haizhou City!

    "You can look at the historical materials of the Dragon Girl Temple. There is a record in it. Once, after an army invaded the capital of a small country, they were trapped in a barrier when they destroyed the altar. Three days later, when they broke through the barrier and came out  , I found that only one day has passed outside. And the methods of the Pox Goddess are probably beyond the reach of those evil spirits. "

    "So, Shen Yue, how long do you think the abnormal situation in Haizhou City will last?"

    "I'm not sure about this. However, I heard that the food in Haizhou City can only last three months."

    "Six months, it can last for six months, but this is based on the condition that there are no mistakes in distribution and no one hoards food."

    It was Zhong Wendong who spoke, but he then added, "If everyone starts grabbing food, or the granary is burned down, or something like that happens, it's hard to explain."

    Fear is contagious, and the government and the Kong family will not be unbiased in the distribution process. Everyone who handles it will hoard some of it. What's more, there are Mingxiang and others watching around, using their methods to burn a whole  Two granaries are a breeze.

    Therefore, it is remarkable that the food in Haizhou City can last for three months.

    ¡°You can go hunting, grow food, cut back, fish, etc. That¡¯s okay too.¡±

    Shen Ruotong spoke, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes, "If Mr. Shen is right, starting from today, we can send people to do it. Open the gate of Haizhou City. There are also a lot of wild vegetables in the mountainous area outside.  Yam can delay it for another half month. "

    But everyone is shaking their heads at this method.  Not a good idea.

    What to do, what to do?

    "There is another way. Just kill half of the people."

    Shen Yue's words made several people feel cold, "I don't know if you think so, but I know that people who are about to starve to death will definitely pick up a knife to rob and kill. You should be careful to play with fire and burn yourself."

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Countryside place.  A few martial arts masters can run rampant, but in this prosperous place like Haizhou City, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers.  Wei Siniang and others can exist in Hsinchu Lane, but what about other places?

    "Some people may think that two million people can't all be masters, right? Absorb the elites among them, raise their families, and then suppress Haizhou City, right?"

    Shen Yue¡¯s words were very harsh, but he didn¡¯t believe that the old foxes in front of him couldn¡¯t think of it.

    "There are famous masters in Haizhou City, or those who live in seclusion. The Kong family, the government or the Dragon Girl Palace have some lists. It is easy to win over these people. But all this is based on my guess, which may not be accurate. Moreover, do you think  Are the angels of the Pox Goddess not prepared?¡±

    Then.  He turned his head and said to Kong Xianglan.  "At this time, are you trying to win over experts for the Kong family, or for the Dragon Girl Palace?"

    In the main hall, everyone was silent.

    Everyone has selfish motives, let alone the current situation.  That family is not just desperately hoarding food, but even the food in the granary is probably being planned.

    "We can't save everyone!"

    Shen Yue's eyes were full of sarcasm, and he said, "Everyone, when I made my speculation just now, in fact, everyone probably thought that if Haizhou City only had hundreds of thousands of people, or less, maybe everyone would  Can we live a better life? Anyway, those ordinary people are not only not a fighting force, but on the contrary, they are mouths that consume food.

    No one knows how long Haizhou City¡¯s barrier will last, and food will be a top priority.  Magistrate Zhong said that Haizhou City has enough food for everyone for six months. This figure sounds good, but everyone here probably wishes that all the extra people would die.  "

    "Shut up, Shen Yue! I will never think or do this!"

    It was Kong Xianglan who spoke. She couldn't help it and refuted Shen Yue loudly.

    "Yes, you won't do this, think so, but where is Kong Guozhang? And what about the powerful people in the city? Kong Xianglan, in the year of great disaster, people will starve to death everywhere. But the powerful people who have a lot of food will close the gates of the village.  , looking at the scene of people starving to death outside, have you heard of it?

    Our current situation is even more serious than that then. There is still hope in the year of great disaster. There may be a bumper harvest next year, or there may be relief from the court or good people, but we are trapped in this cage and can only sit and eat.  "

    "You can also grow food outside the city, and you can also"

    Kong Xianglan¡¯s voice became lower and lower. Although she was kind, she was not stupid.  Without sunlight, how can we grow food?

    "Okay, Shen Yue, tell me what you want to do."

    Kong Guozhang patted his daughter on the shoulderHe gestured to her not to continue arguing with Shen Yue.

    "I can give you a reason so that you can give up half of the people in the city without any scruples."

    Shen Yue no longer sneered, but his voice was full of sarcasm.

    "It's a very legitimate reason. Maybe those who are about to die won't try their best. And your men can also find reasons to do it."

    The reason why people are human, not as beasts, is because they have courtesy, justice and shame.

    Soldiers who came off the battlefield would have nightmares about the bloody experience every night, and many of the people of the same race who had participated in the massacre went crazy.

    Where is Haizhou City?  Everyone knows each other well, and the person who is the farthest away can build a relationship by just a few people away.

    The Kong family has been operating in Haizhou City for so many years, even ordinary people can be related to the Kong family.  As for the Dragon Girl Hall, it goes without saying that many people are believers in the Dragon Girl Hall. If Shen Ruotong or Li Aici watch those people die, or watch those people starve to death without helping, half of the people in the Dragon Girl Hall will  All of the above would object.

    "What is the purpose of the blood sacrifice? It is to let the Gu insects burn their lives, go crazy with their will, and devour each other, and then everything will be absorbed by the Pox Goddess.

    And the more fierce the attack between us, the more benefits the Pox God Empress will get.  The stronger our will to fight with each other, the more qualified we are for blood sacrifice.

    So, do you want me to give you a reason, and then you can kill and attack with peace of mind, and then gather the essence of the remaining humans to face the attack of the goddess of the pox goddess?  "

    In the tea house, everyone felt a little cold.

    "Do you feel a little cold? It's normal. One day in the sky and one year on the earth. Half of it is day and half of it is night.

    ? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbps out out of nowhere  In other words, since it is a year here and it is a day outside, the sun's light should be very weak and the air should be colder?

    It¡¯s very simple. We are under a large greenhouse, plus the heat stored on the surface and the heat in rivers and lakes. Therefore, although the temperature will be lower in the coming days, it will not be too cold.

    But, half a year later, when it¡¯s dark, the nightmare will come.  "

    The sky outside was still clear, but Shen Yue's words made several people shiver.

    "Without any light, everything will be extremely cold. Without the sun, the temperature will begin to drop. In addition, the heat stored in the surface and water flow will be exhausted, and Haizhou City will be extremely cold. By then, what will those ordinary people do?  Survive this winter? The wood in Haizhou City and the plants in the surrounding areas have probably been exhausted in the first half of the year, and only a handful of people will be able to survive."

    "This is not a reason, Shen Yue. Even if we know who will definitely die, we cannot give up on them."

    Li Aici shook his head, "No matter what, it cannot be a reason for massacre. I would rather die to protect Haizhou City, or in other words, I will die in front of them. No one has the right to do this."  ¡±

    Shen Ruotong and Kong Xianglan nodded, maintaining the same attitude as Li Aici, the severe cold could never be used as a reason.

    "So, when the time comes, where will you get the food from? Where were you when I was rushing to buy food? You didn't even know you were going to act with me. Do you regret it?"

    The food stored in Dragon Girl Hall is not too much. When the time comes, Shen Yue doesn¡¯t know how they will maintain it.

    People in the audience sat there in silence, staring at the table in front of them.

    Shen Yue said it right. Ordinary people have now become a burden. They consume food, fuel, wood and water, but they cannot play their due role in the war against the Pox Goddess. Instead, they will drag more people with them.  Let's die together.

    Just like now, Magistrate Zhong Wendong had to send out a large number of personnel to maintain order. The Dragon Girl Hall was full of people praying. Mingxiang paralyzed more than half of the power of Haizhou City without even using her hands.

    At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of commotion outside.  There were angry curses, calls to grab food, and the sounds of swords and guns clashing. Fortunately, it didn't take long for them to be calmed down.

    But, this is the center of Haizhou City, and it has become like this.

    The hall fell into a deathly silence, the only sound was the heavy breathing of everyone.

    Shen Yue told a cruel reality. Now it depends on their decision.  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users, please read it.)
