Chapter Twenty-Four: Civilians? Hungry?
Could it be that these people are members of the Brotherhood of Defia, or sympathizers?
No, Dineen quickly denied that his team had not yet begun to carry out the real mission, and no matter how brave the Brotherhood was, it would not be able to discover the identity of his team.
Do they know their plan of action?
No, Dineen again denied this possibility.
According to Mr. Sandy, the organizer of this operation is the highest level of the human royal family in Stormwind City, and there are less than ten people who know about the entire operation, all of whom are people who can be absolutely trusted.
Edgar already has a light shield in his hand, with a rhythm of moving when he sees something wrong, while Rose and Judith are also nervous and ready to fight.
Among the five, Bai Yisi was the most relaxed, looking at it calmly, and thought to himself: Are these the people of the Brotherhood of Defia? Very low-level war scum, since they came to send them to death, just kill them.
He could see that the people who came were either old or thin, and said that the five scum of the war were all looking up to them, so he didn't worry at all.
"Who are you?" Before Dineh put down the bow and arrow in his hand, his voice softened a lot.
As these people approached, Di Ning also saw clearly, the hands of the people who came were not weapons, and their eyes emitted a faint blue light, but they were not staring at the people who were holding bows and swords, but the meat and soup in the steel pot!
At this moment, among the dozen or so withered and thin men, an old man came out, perhaps their temporary leader or something.
The old man walked over hesitantly, but he didn't dare to get too close, and stopped 20 meters away from Dining.
"We, we," the old man looked nervous, trembling slightly, and shimpered for a long time before he finally mustered up the courage and said his intention: "The meat in the pot, I don't know if a few noble elf brothers still want to eat it, if not, can you reward it to us?" ”
"Oh, no, no," the old man suddenly explained, as if he was afraid that Dinin would not agree, shaking his hands wildly, "You don't need to give us meat, just give us the soup." ”
What the?
The five of Dinin looked at each other, it turned out that they were not here to fight, but to eat!
"Who are you?" The tension in Dinein's heart relaxed again.
These people are yellow-skinned and thin, they should be starving all the time, so, could these people be the Brotherhood of Defia?
"We, we're civilians in Stormwind." The old man replied in a hurry, and at this time, the wind direction changed slightly, and a burst of meaty fragrance wafted by, making him swallow a mouthful of saliva involuntarily.
"Civilians of Stormwind?" Dineen repeated in disbelief.
"Yes, we're really from Stormwind." The old man forced himself not to think about the tempting pork, but the burst of aroma still made him swallow his saliva.
Among the dozen or so people who came, 8 were half-grown children, accounting for more than half.
I saw them staring at the meat in the steel pot, their eyes were shining, there were a few smaller ones, and a long line of saliva had flowed out of the corners of their mouths, and their demeanor was like a little wolf who had been hungry for ten days, and suddenly encountered Xiao Xianrou, if it wasn't for the adults pulling hard, I was afraid that it would have pounced on it.
"Captain, give it to them." Judith is a girl after all, soft-hearted, and the first to ask for it.
How pitiful! Judith looked at the poor children and felt very uncomfortable.
"Captain, we're all full." Rose whispered, taking a few steps to the side, farther away from the steel pot.
Bai Yisi walked to Dineh's side, lowered his voice and said, "Be careful, I'm afraid of fraud." ”
Di Ning nodded slightly, and he was also half-convinced, these people were indeed hungry and panicked, which was true.
But they're from Stormwind?
Stormwind City is the royal city of the human race, just like Darnassus of the Night Elf Clan, but Dinin has lived in Darnassus for half a year, and he has seen a lot of rich elves, and there are many civilians, but the hungry people have really not seen a few.
Are they from Stormwind? Is it credible?
Dineen had a lot of doubts in her heart, but when she saw a few poor children, she decided to give them the pork to eat first.
"Come and eat, and I'll give you all the rest of the stuff in this pot." With a wave of his right hand, Dineen also took a few steps to the side, away from the steel pot, and walked to Rose's side.
The children, hearing Dining's words, couldn't wait for the old man's command, broke away from the adult's hand, whirred, pounced on the steel pot, scooped up the pork with a spoon, and stuffed it into their mouths regardless of whether the meat in the pot was still hot and hot.
The remaining adults were a little squirming at first, but seeing that the children were about to finish eating all the pork and soup, they could no longer care about pretending to be reserved, and hurriedly rushed forward, and one of them grabbed a piece of meat with their hands and eyes.
"If there's not enough meat, I'll have it here." Seeing that the meat in the pot was almost finished, Rose had already begun to rush to drink the soup, so she took out a full 10 catties of pork, walked over, and handed it to the old man.
Just now I hit a wild boar, and there was only enough for five people to eat in the pot, and the rest, Rose put it away, ready to eat for the next meal, who would have thought that more than 10 people would swarm at once.
"Thank you, thank you!" The old man took the pork with trembling hands, grateful, and kept nodding to Rose.
This old man is good, Dinen thought to himself.
During this time, the two girls, Rose and Judith, only knew how to watch with sympathetic eyes as those poor children grabbed meat to eat; And Bai Yisi looked a little concerned, found a tough branch, tore it into small strips, used it as a toothpick, and slowly picked his teeth.
Dineen had been silently watching the movements of this group of so-called Stormwind civilians, especially this old man.
He is the captain of the team, and he is responsible for everyone's safety, so of course he doesn't dare to relax in the slightest.
So far, the old man has not gone up to grab the meat, even if the children almost wiped out the pot just now, he still did not go up to grab it!
Saying that he was not hungry, certainly not, Dineen saw that the poor old man's Adam's apple kept moving up and down, constantly swallowing saliva.
If he is so hungry that he can't bear not to snatch the child's food, it's no wonder that Dinin can think of him as a line higher.
"Don't let them eat too much all at once." Dineh approached the old man and gave a gentle explanation.
Humans are in a state of extreme hunger, which produces adaptive metabolism, glucose utilization is restricted, and glycogen breakdown is increased to ensure the most basic blood sugar supply, blood fatty acid and ketone levels are increased, and peripheral tissues use fatty acid decomposition as the main source of energy.
Sudden and large amounts of food can disrupt this fragile balance in a short period of time, causing not only acute gastric dilation, which can lead to gastric rupture, but also anabolic electrolyte imbalances and eventually cardiac death.
