Chapter 123: Negligence

A large number of giant ants roamed the woods like ghosts in the dark night, and on an inconspicuous hill, a figure crawled among the grass, his name was Kai, one of the best B-class soldiers under Philos, who was promoted by Philos for his excellent ability to seek enemies and scout. He and three other soldiers were sent to spy on the movements of the giant ants.

The position he was in was really not very good, the originally empty valley was instantly overwhelmed by the rolling giant ant colony, he didn't even have a chance to retreat, the only lucky thing was that so far a giant ant did not appear beside him, Kai touched the mosquito coil tied around his waist, which was asked by the head of the group to carry it before leaving, and the effect of this purple plant is still obvious at present.

With the protection of this thing, he had enough time to observe the movements of the giant ants, and although it was dark at night, it had almost no effect on Kai. After the monster's army withdrew from the front of McGee's gate, it began to run aimlessly through the wilderness, and the various monsters in the vicinity seemed to have been informed of the news. Escape from this dangerous place. And the giant ants have maintained this irregular behavior. The only thing he noticed after holding on for hours was that the ants seemed to be deliberately keeping a distance from McGee.

Kai looked up at the town in the night, the outline of the walls outlined by the sparkling fire, and the light of the city faintly spilled over the dark walls. It seems to be framed with a golden edge. And there was a noise in the town, and even from his own position, he could clearly hear the movement inside.

Could it be that there was a riot in the city? As a henchman of Philos, he is also quite familiar with the situation of McGee, and the regimental commander has always been quite wary of the potential rebel forces of McGee's residents. However, there have been no gunshots inside, and it seems that the situation is still under control. However, Kai didn't want to bother too much with this question, and the mere fact that he was in a giant ant colony was enough to give him a headache.

Kai touched the flare gun on his waist, and now he could only pray that the giant ant colony would leave the place quickly. A question swirled in his mind, what were these guys going to do if they didn't run away and didn't mean to attack?

The town of McGee, a few kilometers away from him, was bustling, and the news of the dinner party spread as soon as it spread, and almost all the civilians in the town came out of their homes, many of them dragging their families and carrying things in their hands.

The people of the regal district were terrified by the sight, and the rich quickly burrowed into the underground bomb shelters and small self-built bunkers, shivering with terror even under the protection of many guards. They thought that the civilians were rioting, and when they heard someone knocking on the door, the shock to their hearts can be imagined.

When the guards cautiously inspected, they found a group of heavily armed soldiers standing outside the door, and these rich men were reassured that although they were not good, the army was much friendlier than the civilians who killed and robbed.

Compared with those insatiable army leaders, Philos is definitely an alternative existence, he has been stationed here for more than half a year, not to mention conniving at his subordinates to extort money, and he has not even charged any additional fees for entering the city. Except for occasionally cooperating with Mayor Kim to collect taxes, everyone almost forgot that McGee still has such a character. Even so, the plutocrats did not have the slightest contempt for these soldiers. Eliminating one or two inconspicuous little tyrants is also a matter of lip service for Philos.

In the eyes of these people, the purpose of a soldier is nothing more than to collect military salaries and the like. In fact, it is not too much to say, everyone knows about the battles in the past few days. It is also an indisputable fact that the army protected McGee. So these people don't have the slightest complaint about such a thing

"Because the army needs it in wartime, now requisition the pot in your house! ~"The soldiers who led the team did not talk much nonsense.

As soon as the other party opened his mouth, the rich people were blinded, and the other party actually came to borrow the pot, what is the situation? Many of them were well-informed, but they were completely confused about the order. However, since the other party is asking for himself, the fear of the rich people turns into a strong curiosity in an instant.

They did not hesitate to accept the expropriation order. The pots were taken out of the house, and for a time the regal district of Mackay was like a hardware market, with a pile of kitchen utensils of different colors at the door of every house, and the brave people carefully followed the soldiers into the streets, and the civilians, under the command of the soldiers, gradually filled the open space near the road of the town. The bustle of McGee Town has never been before and the rich people are jaw-dropping.

This solicitation order is a long story, and it starts with Wu Yun and them leaving the warehouse.

By the time they returned to the slum in the truck, many of them had already taken up their positions under the arrangement of the soldiers, and many of them had already begun to prepare. Soldiers also began to carry food from the trucks.

Wu Yun checked back and forth on both sides of the road, although this activity was his idea, but he was completely unsure about whether it was feasible. Now we can only take one step at a time. However, Wu Yun's concern was only fleeting, and he was quickly attracted by the busy people on the side of the road.

The Mackay civilians used very simple stoves, most of them found an open space on the side of the road, and then dug a hole in it. Xiao Lei and Fat Man did the same thing in the wild before. However, there are too many people now, and the open space inside and outside the slums is full of potholes, which seems to be inseparable from this behavior. Wu Yun shook his head, eat his stomach first, and then think about aesthetics and environmental protection.

He continued on his way, and after a while. Smoke slowly rose from the stove, and they slowly gathered in the sky. The entire town was covered in a gray smoke, and the air around it was filled with a scorching smell. The fires glowed faintly in the smoke. A lot of people are already preparing to boil water. Wu Yun is happy, his plan has begun to be implemented.

Busy people began to carry ingredients under the supervision of soldiers, at this time a strange phenomenon appeared, people began to get busy, because of this, some people who did not move were extremely conspicuous, they hid in the corner, Wu Yun took a closer look, there were mostly children and old people inside, they stood there quietly, looking at those who were preparing food with envious eyes.

Wu Yun walked over, and after a brief understanding, he couldn't help but be surprised. Apparently I missed a fatal problem.

He has always relied on his life experience in Madow. He took it for granted that every McGee family would have pots and pans, but in fact, many civilian families here did not have real kitchenware, and their most common utensils and kitchenware were made from discarded metal parts, such as cut oil drums, wheels in tires, deformed car shells, and so on. But even such defective vessels are not available to a considerable number of poor families. And naturally, they didn't have the opportunity to participate in this event. In fact, these people are the ones he originally wanted to support. Now the situation has to be said to be unexpected.

"You're waiting for me here." Wu Yun had no choice but to make amends, he simply said a word to the two of them, and he strode towards the bar.

"Sandy, how many pots do you have here?" Wu Yun panted and rushed into the small door of the bar, only to see Kanu and Sandy chatting at the bar, and more than a dozen wooden boxes were stacked on the counter, which was the melon sauce brought from Maduo.

"Pot?" Sandy was stunned, "I have three here." What's wrong? ”

"It's only three?" Wu Yun was speechless for a moment, this number could not meet his requirements at all. Wu Yun looked at Shandi depressedly, and the other party still stared at him with a puzzled expression.

"What's wrong? That's a lot. Kanu read his thoughts and spoke. I only have two of them. ”

When Wu Yun heard this, he was immediately deflated. Also, what do people do when they have nothing to do with so many pots? No matter how many people come to the bar, a few pots are enough.

Now that I think about it, the arrogant statement that Sandy borrowed kitchen utensils before is obviously debatable. However, I also have responsibility, after all, this national plan was also improvised. This kind of thing is naturally completely foreign to Sandy. It's human nature to misunderstand.

"Do you need a lot of pots right now?" It was only then that Sandy realized the meaning of Wu Yun's words. He frowned and asked, "How much does it take?" ”

"I don't know... Wu Yun regretted a little that he didn't carefully check the number of poor civilian families, so he had to reply casually, "There is a lot of demand for quantity, so I can only say that the more the better." ”

"This... Sandy was quite dissatisfied with Wu Yun's lion's mouth-opening statement. "Where are there so many pots here."

"And where is the place with the most pots in McGee?" Kanu apparently found the crux of the matter.

Sandy frowned, and thought silently. Wu Yun and Kanu looked at him expectantly.

When both of them were about to wait impatiently, Sandy finally slowly spoke, "That's only the army... ”

"Not bad." Kanu nodded in realization, "There are at least three hundred troops here... But... ”

He didn't say what he said later, but it was clear - why would someone lend it to you.

Wu Yun immediately smiled when he heard this suggestion, although he no longer wanted to disturb Philos, but now the result of giving up halfway was even more unacceptable to him.

"I'll send breadfruit over later, and I'll trouble you two to process it." Wu Yun instructed them, and then he turned and left the bar.

"Don't say it, your nephew is really good at tossing." Sandy pouted. "I'd love to see what he can do."

"I can't say I can't say, but he's alarmed McGee's people now." Kanu took a sip from the glass in front of him. "You've never seen this movement outside, right?"

Sandy snorted, took a sip of the glass, and said nothing, not knowing whether he agreed or disagreed. The two sat facing each other on either side of the bar, quietly listening to the noise outside.
