136 Back to xinchuan
the troops in the base still have 6 months ‘worth of food. However, the food supply of over 20000 civilians is already a bit short. According to the current consumption rate, the stored food of civilians in the base can only last a bit more than 4 months. By the time we plant the wheat in the spring of next year, the food in the base will be completely consumed. During this period, if more refugees come to the base, the stored food in the base will be consumed faster. The conflicts caused by food will cause more problems.
In the hall of the military camp, all the summoners in the Mt. Cloud Bay base, a few military officers, and some representatives of civilian organizations, a total of more than a hundred people, were gathered here. They began to discuss the solutions to deal with the current crisis.
Colonel Wang Cheng was explaining the situation in the base.
The gunshots yesterday had exposed the food crisis that the base was facing to everyone.
Mt. Yun Wan had a lot of ammunition, but the food stored there was limited.
After 20,000 to 30000 people poured into the base, there was not much food left in the base. According to the original plan, after the spring of next year, everyone would save up and plant the first batch of wheat and vegetables. Then, the food supply in the base would gradually ease. At the same time, they would be self-sufficient and have some surplus. However, the current situation was not optimistic.
With the arrival of new refugees, the already tight food supply in the base became more intense.
if the hunger is allowed to spread, even if we can plant the spring wheat next year, the spring wheat and other food crops in the farm might not be able to be harvested, ” an old man with silver hair and glasses said in a low voice. This old man was one of the representatives of the people in the base. He was a retired teacher and had a good reputation among the people. He led some people to rebuild the school in the base.
The old man said softly, ” I’ve been to Africa before. I’ve seen the destruction brought about by hunger in Africa. Hunger can turn people into wild beasts.
I suggest that we completely seal off the entrance to Mt. Yunwan now. We can’t let anyone else in, ” a strong-looking man in his thirties said. I know it’s cruel, but the more people we let in, the more serious the food crisis will be!
“This is murder!” A 40-odd female citizen representative with long hair said loudly, ” if we block them out of the base now, it’s no different than sending them to their deaths. Where’s our sympathy? don’t forget that we were like them before. I will never agree with that. Our sisterly assistance Association will never agree with that, Yingluo!
if we let those hungry people in, that would be the real murder. More people would die because of this! The representative who had just suggested sealing off the entrance to the base immediately retorted loudly, ” without food, what do you have to sympathize with? your cheap sympathy will kill more people. At this time, between the interests of the majority and the interests of the minority, we can only choose the interests of the majority!
“Human life is not a math problem!”
“MA ‘am, you’re wrong. At this time, human life is a math problem. On one side is 20000, on the other side is 2000. There’s no doubt who is more worth saving!”
“That’s too cold-blooded!”
the choice of life and death can’t satisfy everyone. Hot-blooded passion can’t save anyone!
Before the summoners and the military officers could speak, the representatives of the people started quarreling and blaming each other until the king’s city’s Colonel who was presiding over the meeting could not help but knock on the table in front of him. The quarrels of the People’s representatives only stopped after the loud banging.
“The food supply of the base has been rationed. I suggest that, on the basis of the current rationed system, everyone’s daily food ration is reduced by 20% except for the summoners. This is the suggestion of me and several officers in the military group. We will start from the troops. From tomorrow on, the food supply of the soldiers who don’t carry out tasks will be 80% of the usual supply, and the food supply of the soldiers who carry out tasks will be 100%. This way, we can hold on for a fifth longer, or save a fifth more people!” Wang Cheng’s words made everyone in the meeting room quiet down.
there’s a lot of prey in the mountains. There are black bears, camels, and antelopes. If there’s anything, we can go hunting in the mountains. Summoners are never hungry. tu Pohuang looked around and said in a deep voice, ” we’re Summoners who fight on the front line, not pampered young masters and young ladies. I’m willing to give up my food rations. You can give my food to those who need it. If I need food, I’ll go hunting and use my prey to exchange for it!
“I will also give up on my rations. If I need food, I will also use my prey to exchange for it!” Fang Lingshan continued as she ran her fingers through her hair.
I don’t want to eat too much when others are hungry. I’ll give up my food rations too. Summoners can be self-sufficient, ” li Yunzhou said.
“I’ll give up on Qianqian too,” Zhu Zhu said.
we’re not afraid of that. Any Antelope we hunt can feed us for half a month. If we’re really hungry, we can also eat demon rat meat, hehe. Xue Sidao also smiled as he said softly, ” I’ll give up hehe too.
I’ll give up on Yingluo too, ” Xia Pingan said.
Seeing that Xia Pingan had made his stand clear, all the summoners expressed their willingness to give up the food rations at the base. This attitude made it impossible for anyone to be picky.
Summoners did not have to worry about starving to death. If even Summoners could starve to death, ordinary people would probably not survive.
After all the summoners had expressed their opinions, a few people’s representatives made some suggestions, such as organizing a food production team such as a harvesting team, a harvesting team, and a production team. There were also suggestions to promote frugality, so that the elderly and women should eat less. The more reliable one was that a public representative suggested that they could first find some materials in the base, try to build some vegetable greenhouses, and organize people to try to produce vegetables out of season.
The meeting lasted for more than an hour. At the end, everyone left one after another.
Although the meeting did not propose a solution to completely solve the food crisis, some countermeasures were proposed.
That was the only thing they could do now.
Throughout the entire meeting, Xia Pingan did not say anything else other than the one time she expressed her opinion.
It was only when the crowd had left the hall and were outside that Xia Pingan called out to Guo Wei and gave him a look to make him stay.
The cold wind was still blowing outside. Xia Pingan pulled Guo Wei under a pine tree to talk.
aren’t there a few underground war preparation granaries near xinchuan city? can you get the construction plan of xinchuan city’s war preparation granaries? ” Xia Pingan said directly.
As soon as he heard Xia Pingan’s question, Guo Wei’s expression changed. He already knew what Xia Pingan wanted to do. no, it’s too dangerous. Xinchuan is now almost the world’s pride of those demons.
Xia Pingan smiled and said, ” I’ve been so free these few days that my hands are itching. I want to go to xinchuan to take a look. If there’s still food in the underground war preparation Granary in xinchuan, I’ll get some more back. Won’t this problem be solved then? ”
“I’ll bring my men and go with you!”
I can go alone. If someone were to follow me, I would be too big of a target. Secondly, it would distract me and affect my efficiency. When I run, you might not be able to keep up!
Guo Wei hesitated for a moment.”Old tu and the rest ...”
old tu and the others aren’t going either. It’s convenient for me to go alone. I’ll come back once I get food. If I can’t get it, I’ll just take it as I’m going to xinchuan to investigate!
Seeing Xia Pingan’s firm attitude, Guo Wei could not help but nod. there is a lot of information stored in the base. I’ll go and look for it!
“Okay, if you find it, send it to me this afternoon!”
Guo Wei nodded and left in a hurry.
Man Zixiao walked out from the side and looked at Xia Pingan eagerly. I want to go to Yingluo.
“Don’t go anywhere. Finish the body strengthening pills I gave you first. Don’t forget that you have a heavy responsibility now, Huanhuan.”
Upon hearing Xia Pingan’s words, man Zixiao could only remain silent. is it really possible to fuse the realm beads again after eating 180 body-strengthening pills? ”
I don’t know. It’s just my feeling. It might be dangerous, or we might fail, but I think it’s worth a try!
Man Zixiao nodded heavily.
A few hours later, Guo Wei sent over two pictures. When it was dark, Xia ping ‘an quietly left the base at Mount yunwan alone, wearing a cloak and carrying a pair of skis.
Taking advantage of the night, Xia Pingan braved the wind and snow and glided through the night. Relying on her strong body, she returned to the suburbs of xinchuan the next morning.
The entire xinchuan city was covered in snow. There was no one around, and all the roads were covered in snow.
Xia Pingan used her long-distance vision ability to take a look. The entire xinchuan city’s underground air-raid shelter and the shopping malls were densely packed with magic fire spiders and magic liquid spiders.
Those demon rats were crowded in the residential buildings. Some of them had dug many holes in the ground, but they didn’t look abnormal at all.
When Xia Pingan’s gaze landed near the two permanent spatial rifts in xinchuan city, his heart trembled.
F * ck!
The streets near the two space cracks had completely changed. A large number of magic wolves had occupied all the city streets around the space cracks.
Demon Wolf Warriors carrying weapons on their backs and walking upright on their feet were everywhere.
The demonic Wolf Warriors were different from the demonic Wolf magicians. The demonic Wolf Warriors had the shape of wolves and were tall. Each demonic Wolf Warrior was about two meters tall and was covered in fur. They were wild. The wild wolf Warriors wore leather armor and carried an old-fashioned flintlock on their backs. They also held swords.
It seemed that the large number of demon wolves had just come out of the space crack. The patrolling demon Wolf Warriors were still full of vigilance and curiosity.
Just as Xia Pingan was using his long-distance vision ability to patrol, there were still demon Wolf Warriors coming out of the space crack.
