Suddenly, the roar resounded in the sky above the granary of Xiaobeihe, and the chaotic warehouse fell silent, whether they were busy fighting fires or searching, they all stopped what they were doing and cast their eyes on the distant sky. After a while, the sharp-eyed people noticed that under the bright night light, there was a small black shadow, which was growing larger and louder little by little in the roar.

Not long after, a pillar of light appeared out of thin air in the direction from which the roar came, this pillar of light was very thick, and after a while, it covered a corner of the warehouse, and as time went by, this pillar of light was still moving, occasionally, it would shine on those who were hiding in the alleyway, some of them were timid, and they were so frightened that they fell down on the spot, and the bold ones tried to see clearly what kind of monster was flying in addition to blocking them with their hands.

"Listen to the people below. You are surrounded, lay down your arms and surrender at once! "The helicopter has lowered its altitude, but even so, it is very difficult for the people below to hit the helicopter.

"This old man Jia is getting better and better at putting on a show?" In the corridor of the office building, Qin Tianwu set up a pergola with his hands and looked at the helicopter hovering above the head of the granary, the model of this helicopter, he could see at a glance that it was one of the eight armed helicopters in Hao Shan.

The helicopter circled around the granary, but this time, the pilot was more daring, and even swept over the surface of the inland river, which seemed to stir up a bright white splash, this action was to intimidate the people on the two small boats, and sure enough, some people were frightened into the cold water, and those who remained on the boat were also splashed by the river.

When the helicopter began to circle the third time, the gang of strongmen finally collapsed, and many of them raised their hands, and some of them were cowardly, kneeling directly on the ground, crying out for mercy, even if their voices just gushed out of their throats, they would be swallowed up by the sound of engines.

"Lay down your arms and get out of the granary! Lay down your arms and get out of the granary! "The speakers on the helicopter are starting to get restless again.

"Brother Tianwu, will they attract infected people if they do this?" Qiao Wu's voice was a little panicked, after all, when they were in Huanzhou, they had been taught a lesson by the infected people attracted by the noise again and again.

"With such a high wall, it's not a big problem." Qin Tianwu is very confident, indeed, there are rivers, high walls, and food here, and one hundred and ten infected people really can't attack it.

It was not long before the strong men raised their hands and walked out of the granary one by one, dejectedly, and stood in a row on the edge of the river, and it was estimated that there were nearly thirty people in the two small boats. On the other side of the hill, the garrisons who rushed to support also appeared, their number was actually not much, only twenty people, if it were not for the help of armed helicopters, this granary would be estimated to be really difficult to capture for a while and a half.

"Drop the drawbridge!" The man holding the speaker commanded again.

Originally, in order to facilitate transportation, people set up a suspension bridge between the granary and the hill, but I don't know if it was for self-protection, this suspension bridge has always been raised, and even when these strong men crossed the river to cut wood, they never put it down. But it's a pity that the opponents this group of strongmen meet tonight are no longer something that can be defeated by their strength and wisdom alone, so they can only do it even if they are unwilling. Soon, the drawbridge was lowered manually.

The helicopter slowly landed on the river beach on the side of the river, and Jia Zhongquan, surrounded by two guards, stepped off the helicopter. His appearance today is much more fashionable than in the past, wearing a grass-green military uniform, riding boots on his feet, a tweed army coat on his shoulders, a large-brimmed hat on his head, a pair of sunglasses on the bridge of his nose, and a layer of snow-white fabric "attached" to his hands.

On the other side of the river, a man who estimated some status, under the "pushing" of his companion's eyes, walked tremblingly along the suspension bridge, his hands raised high, and the buttons of his coat were not buttoned, as if to show the people on the other side that he really did not carry any weapons. And the people on the other side of the river also followed his example and raised their hands high. This is mainly because they found that there was a strong beam of light at the left hatch of the helicopter, and this beam swept away on them from time to time, and what this beam was leaning on was a terrible machine gun!

Many of these strongmen also know how to shoot guns, so they naturally know that once this guy is provoked, within half a minute, he will be able to knock down all of these thirty or so people. Therefore, the only remaining resentment in my heart was also forcefully suppressed.

"Will ...... General Tiger Might...... I'll wait...... Rats, willing to return to ...... Surrender, return hope...... I hope the general will stay...... Leave me waiting...... One Life...... Sometime...... Go to the soup for the general...... At...... When he did not hesitate to ...... "the man was still a third of the way to the shore, he stopped, I wonder if it was, he felt that if he took one more step, he would be killed on the spot."

"All the people inside, all here?" Jia Zhongquan took a few steps forward, stood on the edge of the bridge and asked, behind him, although the two guards deliberately pressed the muzzle of the gun, they could see that as long as this person moved slightly, within a second, he would be beaten into a sieve.

"It's all ...... It's all there. The man's legs were trembling, "I dare not deceive ......."

Jia Zhongquan nodded: "Tell them that if they want to leave, they will be given ten catties of rice, and if they are willing to stay, we will provide food and safety, on the condition that they need to participate in the work." ”

"Yes......" The man trembled back to the other side and shouted to those people, "The general has an order, and if he is willing to go, he will be given ten catties of rice, and if he is willing to stay, he only needs to participate in the work, and he can get the food and security provided by the general." ”

As soon as these words came out, the people exploded, and the voices of discussion were endless, some were discussing in whispers, some were very excited, and two even quarreled, and the person who was elected as the negotiator quietly shrank aside and did not participate in the argument of the strongmen. Jia Zhongquan stood patiently in the cold wind, waiting for these strongmen to give an answer, and after about ten minutes, people began to walk towards the suspension bridge one after another.

In the end, on the other side of the river, there were only five people left, and these five men were all men in the prime of life, and they were also very burly, and only such people would have the confidence to survive in this situation without relying on the strength of the large group. Jia Zhongquan asked the negotiator to take a few people from the garrison into the granary to count the weapons left by those people, and asked other people who were willing to stay to quickly go to extinguish the fire and rescue the rice and grain inside.

After about half an hour, the negotiators came out, and the people of the garrison each carried a machete, a few of them, and also carried rice, a total of three generations, a large bag, thirty catties, two small bags, a total of twenty catties, in addition, Jia Zhongquan also gave those who wanted to leave, a machete per person. In this way, it can be regarded as a good gathering and dispersal.

The five men loaded their things onto the boat, rowed away, and disappeared into the night. It took a whole night of hard work to extinguish the fire, which destroyed half of the grain in the warehouse, which may be the price of "outwitting", but fortunately, this price is still within an acceptable range. Seeing that so much food was obtained, everyone's faces couldn't help but show excitement. There is only one exception, and this person is Jia Zhongquan.

"Teacher." The grizzled Wei Yilin limped into Jia Zhongquan, who was standing by the window with his hands behind his back, and then screamed a little embarrassed, it seemed that it was the first time in so many years that he had talked to the teacher so badly.

"Are you alright?" Jia Zhongquan turned around when he heard this, and when he saw Wei Yilin like this, he said two more words of comfort.

"It's fine." Wei Yilin barely straightened his chest and forced a smile.

"This spring is coming." Jia Zhongquan looked at the mountains in the distance, and his tone was very heavy, "You should have heard the FAO's warning, right?" ”

"Yes, I heard about it at noon the day before yesterday."

It turned out that in the short few days since Chinese New Year's Eve, the virus has swept six continents at an alarming speed, and according to rough statistics, the number of infected people has exceeded 1.5 billion, and it is still growing rapidly, and its peak has not yet been estimated. For their own safety, countries around the world have also cut off land, sea and air communications with other countries, and everyone is trying to control the spread of the virus in this way of "closing off the country".

In this way, trade between countries has also been greatly affected, but this global trade has been linking all countries into a whole for the past few hundred years, and the sudden split of this whole will be tantamount to a huge blow to all countries. Among them, the first manifestation is the food problem, because since most countries in the world, after the transformation to an industrial society, the population has increased significantly, and many countries are simply not self-sufficient in food. The strategy of "closing the country to the outside world" is tantamount to a sharp knife that cuts the chain of grain imports, and in this way, food shortages are inevitable.

"The director of the Agriculture Bureau reported that the loss of external supplies of fertilizers, improved seeds, and machinery has made it inevitable that Ringan's agricultural output will be reduced. Moreover, due to the penetration of mechanical agriculture, there are only some old people left in many places now, who know how to grow grain without relying on chemical fertilizers and improved seeds. ”

"How many people does he estimate will die?" Wei Yilin also listened carefully to the FAO's warning, so he asked a bit directly.

"Two hundred thousand."

Two hundred thousand? This is not a small number, after all, the current population of Ringan is only 300,000.

"As for the Ji Zhushi, he made it clear that the military uniform is there, but the guns, ammunition, grain and oil are not." Jia Zhongquan gently hammered the window sill, which was still clean. Through this windowsill, what others saw was a full load of rice, but what he saw was a hungry mouth, "100,000 troops, 10,000 loads a day." Ringan's 300,000 people, every day, is also the same number. ”

"Then what did Director Xu say?"

Jia Zhongquan took off his sunglasses with both hands, took out a small white handkerchief from the inner pocket of his military uniform, and gently wiped the lenses, Wei Yilin quietly looked sideways, but was surprised to find that the teacher's eye sockets had been deeply sunken, and the eye sockets had become as black as Hui ink, so black and pure.

"The generals have been gracious."
