Chapter 584: Famine
After resting for a night in the guest room in the backyard of Liuye New Restaurant, Chang Sheng and they went to the street with a strong curiosity when they had nothing to do. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
After walking a few streets, Chang Sheng found that the streets of Shiwo City were very depressed, and there were not many people on the streets in broad daylight.
Xiao Qi said curiously: "What's wrong with this Stone Nest City? Why is it so deserted! And these people, they can't be sick, right? They all look like they're going to die, and they don't even get angry at all!"
Before everyone could think deeply about Xiao Qi's question, suddenly there was a rapid and loud gong sound in the distance. Immediately afterwards, the doors of the houses on both sides of the deserted street opened in an instant, and several people poured out of every house, all of them holding large bowls and rushing in the direction from which the gong came!
The sick and languishing people on the street suddenly ran faster than rabbits, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood!
They were pushed and pushed by the tide of people, and they were brought to the source of the gong like a boat drifting with the current.
Finally getting out of the crowd, Chang Sheng and the others hid on the roof of the house on the side, looking at the crowd below that was boiling like a pot of boiling water.
It turned out that the source of the sound of the gong was a place to put rice, and the people in the nearest few streets all came to take bowls to eat after hearing the sound of the gong!
Xiao Qi looked curiously at the people below who were crazy about grabbing food, and blurted out: "This is a panic! This is a rare thing in the gods and demons, after all, the gods and demons are a world with quite rich resources." ”
Chang Sheng pointed to the eggshell city wall with his chin and said, "It's not a vampire silk mess!"
"Brother Changsheng, how do you know?" asked Xiao Qi.
Chang Sheng explained his opinion, he said that in the world of gods and demons, except for towns close to or in the desert, or towns with special geographical environments, there are very few towns that rely on specialized farming. The vast majority of towns make a living from gathering and fishing!
The reason is simple, because they can easily survive by gathering and fishing and hunting, so there is no need to do more troublesome things to farm!
The cost of farming in the realm of gods and demons is very high, because farming, looking at the land, and recovering the land are time-consuming and laborious, and going out of the city at night to see the land is very dangerous for the vast majority of ordinary people who are not very capable!
Unless agriculture is organized and developed by the government, it will not be possible for an individual or a group of people to sustain itself for a long time.
Shiwo City is a town that does not develop agriculture, it is surrounded by rich resources, relying on the food provided by nature, it is more than enough to feed dozens of Shiwo Town, there is no need to engage in agriculture at all!
But...... Chang Sheng speculated that after the stone nest city, which usually gathers, fishes and hunts to eat and drink, is surrounded by vampire silk, at least sixty or seventy percent of the ordinary people in the city will no longer be able to go out to get food! This will lead to an extreme shortage of food in Shiwo City!
Xiao Qi said: "That won't be like this! As long as the city lord sends a team of several hundred people to hunt or gather, he can also maintain the food of tens of thousands of people in Shiwo City. ”
Chang Sheng said in a deep voice: "You can only gather! As for hunting, which is the easiest source of food to provide in large quantities, it can't be done! Because the living creatures that can be hunted around are basically hunted by vampire silk!"
"Go farther and fight ......" Xiao Qi wanted to speak and stopped, and was suddenly stunned.
Chang Sheng said: "We first encountered vampire silk more than half a month ago, and since then, we have encountered more and more vampire silk along the way, and it has become more and more dense! With our skills, this road is also full of difficulties and dangers! And we haven't hunted a single time on the way! Do you think the city lord of Shiwo City will send someone to spend more than half a month hunting? And let his subordinates risk their lives?"
Xiao Qi shook his head silently.
Chang Sheng said: "However, relying on collection alone, there are a shortage of manpower for a hundred or so! But no matter how much I am afraid, I can't free up manpower, and at the moment there are only a limited number of people who can safely enter and exit Shiwo City, and they still have to keep people to take care of the vampire silk and prevent them from crossing the eggshell city wall!
After saying these words, Chang Sheng's face was very gloomy and ugly, and his eyes were full of doubts. He muttered to himself, "Why don't you ask the Demon Emperor to send an army to clear it?"
"Can't do it, right?" Li Han said: "Do you remember the time when you were caught by the vampire silk? Xiao Qi's fox fire has obviously burned them all into sections, but they can still climb back to the top of the tree as if they were alive, which shows their tenacious vitality! Even if the Demon Emperor sends someone to clear them, they can only use a plan to completely destroy them at one time! Because as long as a small section is left, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not recur!"
Chang Sheng was taken aback and said, "When the time comes, Shiwo City will not be able to be saved! Moreover, all the places where there are vampire silk will become wastelands without an inch of land!"
"That's right!" Li Han said, "That's why they want to use the Bounty Order, and they want to use the power of the alliance and the rivers and lakes to see if they can find a solution! Stop the spread of the vampire silk and find a way to eliminate them!"
"We still have to weed!" Qian Mixin complained: "With this amount of work, can we still complete it in this life?"
Looking at the hungry people who were frantically fighting for food, Chang Sheng said in a deep voice: "How do you know if you don't try it!"
Qian Mixin looked at Chang Sheng in a daze, then the corners of her mouth twitched, and she said with a smile: "Also, such a high bounty, it is definitely not willing to give up my sister without trying! Then let's wait for the second gentleman to see how many useful clues he can provide, and then make plans!"
In such a stone nest city, look at how bad it is, how can they be in the mood to continue playing! So, they took the roof as the road back to the Liuye New Restaurant.
Liu Yexin is no longer open, and even the pretense in front of the door has been picked. When there was nothing to do, the boss Liu Meiniang led a few little maids, as well as buddies and chefs, to gamble dice and play cards together, and they lived freely, as if the famine had nothing to do with them.
Xiao Qi asked curiously, "Why don't you go to eat?"
After hearing this, Liu Meiniang smiled and said: "The slave family is a restaurant, and what it does is to eat and drink for a living, if the owner of a restaurant in the slave family also goes out to grab food to eat, it won't make people laugh off their big teeth!"
The chef who was playing cards said: "We still have a little food in stock, and we can't be hungry for the time being! Why would Mr. Er arrange you here, I dare to say, now in addition to the city lord's royal city, we don't have to worry about eating and drinking in Shiwo City!"
Li Han said lightly: "Eating people with soft mouths, this job is really hard to shirk! It's really a big trouble!"
