Chapter 237: Killing (500,000 words)
The four words of the King of Steel Bones were a turning point in the fate of the two of them, and when they heard the words, they immediately became energetic, and quietly leaned over in the direction of the voice, and when they looked around, they were two low-level officials from Boulder City, who were holding bread and chatting while eating pickles and old dry milk spicy sauce.
"Isn't that an undead creature of the King of Steel Bones? I heard that it is a skeleton of bones that can move, and it is so penetrating. Why is he the only one who can save humanity?" asked a man in a red coat.
A green-clothed man next to him said, "Do you know how big the disaster is caused by this abyss?"
The red clothes shook their heads, but their expressions were solemn, even if they didn't know how tragic it was, but judging from the situation of the disaster in Boulder City, other places were not much better.
Green Clothes sighed: "Basically the whole world has been affected, you go and see the Mercenary Guild, the Thieves Guild, the Dead Guild, the tasks released now, they are all food, cloth, tents, medicines, etc., the locations are all over the continent, and the demand is still very large, I am sorting out this information, I know very well, do you know what this means?"
Red shook her head.
"The area affected by the disaster is large, the population affected by the disaster is large, and everyone can't take care of others, which means that everyone has to help themselves. Now the whole world can't buy it, all of them have to be produced by themselves, my God, our Boulder City is not a food production area in the first place, and we used to exchange minerals for food, where can we change it now?"
The red clothes finally understood the seriousness of the matter, and said with a glare, "Then won't we have a famine?"
"There will be famine, roads will be cut off, supplies will be scarce, food and clothing will be scarce, there will be no medical treatment, a large number of people and animals will die, there will be no people to bury them, and when the weather is hot, there will probably be a plague, and then more people will die. The green dress said with a sad face.
The red clothes and faces are white, the plague, it is a disaster more terrible than the earthquake, the earthquake hides in the wilderness, as long as it does not touch the cracks in the ground, it is not easy to die, the plague, that is not even able to hide, often the whole village dies.
"Then why do you say that only the King of Steel Bones can save us?" Red Clothes no longer speaks of humans, but 'save us', because he has substituted himself into the group that is about to be affected, and the sense of urgency is completely different.
"Do you think, there are more than a billion undead creatures under the command of the King of Steel and Bones, the roads are not smooth, they can build roads, right? There is not enough food, they can transport grain, right? Rely on us to transport grain, twenty catties of grain will consume more than ten catties, undead creatures don't need to eat and drink, twenty catties of grain can be transported in twenty catties. ”
"Speaking of the plague, if there is a plague, it is better to quarantine first, but who will isolate? It will definitely be us then, what if we are also infected? Let the undead come without worrying about this, they will not be infected with the plague. ”
"Even if it's a village without a road, doesn't the King of Steel Bones have flying skeletons that can airdrop medicine and food. Only he has enough manpower and convenience to complete the disaster relief work in a very short time, and if it drags on for too long, there will be more people dead. ”
Hearing this, Marfa and Bi Du looked at each other, the original disaster relief work has been carried out so far, Marfa has breathed a sigh of relief, the people who can be rescued have been rescued, and the next thing is to deal with the aftermath.
But now listening to what Green Clothes said, the difficulties of daring have not passed, and now is the beginning of the disaster, and the analysis is very reasonable.
Marfa couldn't sit still any longer, rushed back to the city, and found the information released by the major guilds after the disaster, and sure enough, whether it was the guild guild or the chamber of commerce, all the information released was all kinds of purchase information, all of which involved basic disaster relief materials such as grain, cloth, tents, medicines, etc., and even the slave chamber of commerce did not accept slaves, and collected a large amount of grain.
If you look at the location of the release, it is all over the continent, that is, the scope of the disaster is all over the world.
"Uncle, how much grain is left in the city?" asked Marfa.
Bidu looked through the records for a while and said, "There is probably enough food for the whole city for three months." ”
Boulder City is not a grain production area, and the grain reserves are relatively large, because this is only the official grain stockpile, but the grain circulation field mainly depends on the big businessmen and big landlords, who are the big grain stockholders, and the official grain reserves are mainly used for emergency purposes.
Now is the most urgent moment, three months of food should have been enough, three months, enough for the slowest caravan to transport food from other places.
But judging from the current situation, let alone three months, it is doubtful whether we can buy grain before the autumn harvest next year.
Marfa pursed her lips stubbornly: "I don't want to look for steel bones, I don't believe it, there is no food to sell in the world!"
Over the next two days, Marfa began her journey to hit the wall.
"No, my lord, our family has a large population, and we don't have enough to eat, so how can we have extra food to sell." The biggest landlord in Boulder City said with a sad face.
This great position has carved out tens of thousands of acres of terraced fields in a valley in the Hengduan Mountains, and the annual grain output can fill several official granaries.
Looking at Marfa's slowly raised brows, the big landlord hurriedly explained: "Lord City, I didn't lie to you, my terraces have all collapsed, and in the next few years, I will need a large number of people to reclaim the new fields, and the food stored at home is not enough at all, so it is not that I don't give you face." ”
Marfa returned to the Green Field Chamber of Commerce, the largest food chamber in Boulder City, a chamber of commerce founded by the druids to specialize in the grain trade and various plant-related business activities.
The branch president of the Chamber of Commerce said with a sad face: "City Lord, if you can get our grain team to come over and bring as much grain as you want, I will sell it to you." I can't get by, every time I go to a place, as long as I see that it's a grain truck, those guys are crazy, the premium is two, three, five or six times, and they can't sell it. ”
Visited all the places where there was food storage, Marfa was in a hurry, anyway, everyone has their own difficulties, that is, there is no food. Not only food, but also cloth, medicine, wine, building materials, horses, livestock, etc., etc., all of which were gone.
When contacting Luo Qiu at night, Marfa was crying, and her voice could be heard crying for a long time: "Your Majesty, only you can save mankind, only you can save Boulder City." ”
After listening to Marfa's description, Luo Qiu's heart tightened, and he jumped up and scolded directly: "Scared, only the King of Steel Bones can save mankind, who is framing me?"
Luo Qiu is not a god, he can turn over the palm of his hand to conjure up a pile of food, without sufficient supplies, how can he save mankind? This is obviously a killing.
Luo Qiu's guess was quickly confirmed, Hopeless rode to the abyss cave in a griffin, passed through the cave to the demon abyss, found Luo Qiu, and fell to the ground reverently: "Your Majesty, only Your Majesty can save mankind, Your Majesty, save us." ”
