Chapter 5 Wartime Stockpiles
As expected, it didn't take long for the chaos in the entire ingredient market to spread, not even Tolf's storefront, since yesterday's mosaic trick, no one dared to make trouble here.
A large group of people slammed the door open, and then rushed indiscriminately, looking for the food warehouse.
As for people, although they may seem very rational in normal times, once they are excited, their heads will become very simple.
These guys are not only robbing in the food warehouse, but some people are running towards the back room, which is almost like robbing a house.
However, when the group rushed into the courtyard, they suddenly found an Asian man standing in the middle. And next to this Asian man, there was also a figure lying down, stained with blood, apparently dead.
Mosaic held a bone chopping knife in both hands, lowered his eyelids slightly, and the whole person seemed to be shrouded in shadows, while Torf and Tiger Niu and the others hid in the back room, quietly looking outside.
"I won't say anything about grabbing ingredients, because I'm hungry too, so it's understandable. But if any of you are hot-headed and take breaking into a house for granted, then I will defend myself as a matter of course, and as a result, you may not be able to bear it. Mosaic's voice was not high, but the two bloody bone chopping knives slowly lifted, and immediately scared the few guys who rushed in front half to death.
I'm grass, that guy on the ground can't be hacked to death by this man, right?
Fortunately, this group of people was not completely out of their minds, and after Mosaic's reminder, they immediately slowly retreated backwards, for fear that his two bone chopping knives would cut into their bodies like this.
In less than a moment, the people who rushed to this small courtyard ran clean. After that, a few people ran in, but when they saw the corpse on the ground and the mosaic standing next to it, they suddenly felt a thrill in their hearts and retreated cautiously.
……
After a burst of looting and blocking, the entire warehouse was moved to the emptiest. After the crowd looted the store, the whole store looked like a mess.
Meghan came over with her chin bruised, intending to clean it up, but was stopped by Mosaic. On the contrary, Mosaic also took a few stools and smashed them at the doors and windows that were still intact.
"Mosaic, what are you doing?" Tolf was dumbfounded, why should he spoil his house again, there is something wrong.
"Destroy this place even more, so that people will see what happened to your shop as soon as they come here, and they must have been robbed. Only then will they not continue to come and we will be able to last a few more days with the ingredients in the basement. Mosaic explained to Torf.
Just then, a window staggered down and fell to the ground with a clatter.
Looking at it, the whole store is like a little girl who has been wheeled many times, embarrassed.
Tolf and the other two clerks couldn't help but shed a cold sweat, it turned out that this was Mosaic's plan.
Indeed, even if they saw the current appearance of the storefront, they probably had only one thought, that is, this place had been looted a long time ago.
After the scramble just now, several people found that their stomachs became hungry again, knowing that they had eaten a lot just now.
……
Although the ingredients in the warehouse were looted, there were still a lot of things left in the basement and the innermost room. There was no food at home, and the tiger girl was too lazy to go back, so the three of them stayed here temporarily.
Although it is a shop, the place is still not small, at most it is a little simple.
Since Mosaic admitted that he was once a chef, of course he left the cooking of food to him, after all, the food they made tasted really bad.
At first, Mosaic was still making food in the normal way, that is, how to make it delicious and full of aroma, but soon Tolf rushed in.
"Mosaic!"
"What's wrong, Tolf?"
"Don't make it so fragrant, it's better to have no taste, hurry, hurry."
"What the hell is going on?"
"The smell is so fragrant, I can smell it outside, and others will definitely be able to smell it, and we won't be able to hide it when the time comes." Tolff nervously explained.
Mosaic was dumbfounded when he heard this, and then he laughed dumbly, he was afraid that he would smell it too much and be smelled by others, is this Tolf a coarse and fine?
However, since Mosaic learned to cook, he has been learning how to make food look and smell all the time, and suddenly it is really difficult for him to make food without fragrance.
"I try." Mosaic replied.
"That's good." Tolf replied, looking at what Mosaic was making in the pot, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva, the food made by Mosaic was already more delicious, and at this time, due to the intense hunger, it was even more unbearable.
……
It has only been three days since the active cells of the mother body were sprayed and spread in the early morning three days ago, and almost all the humans in the entire Demon Island Group were starving and tormented, like a bottomless pit, they couldn't eat enough, and there were countless fights for food in various places.
This is still the human world, and in the natural world, those animals are even more bloody and cruel.
On the morning of the fourth day, the government of the demon district announced the full opening of wartime reserves, and at the same time reassured the people not to panic, just hunger, it can definitely be solved.
You must know that now is the future society, like the ancient times when people are hungry and people are struggling to make a living, and international organizations have also expressed their stance to donate materials.
After getting this news, the situation of the Magic Island urban agglomeration is finally a little better, but it is only a little better. Because, this kind of hunger is completely different from ordinary hunger, it is too unbearable, and there have been frequent incidents of animals eating people recently.
At present, all industries on the Magic Island have basically gone on strike, except for the food and beverage related industries. No one would have thought that the word 'eat' could have such great power, and hunger could make people stop all the work they were doing, just to fill their stomachs.
……
"How can TMD get hungry so fast?" Tolf cursed beside him.
Now, in addition to the original few people, there are Megan's wife and eight-year-old son, and the other clerk, Trensu, who is single, all of whom came here in the morning because they have basically eaten up the ingredients in their house.
Everyone gathered around the computer, browsing the latest news, and after knowing that the demon district government had opened the wartime reserves, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, only the mosaic looked solemn, and how long had the remaining ingredients in the store been replenished.
The wartime reserves are indeed open, but they will not be able to be sent to this place for a while, and hunger, but it has never ended, and the most important thing is that things are so abnormal, if there is no reason for this, Mosaic does not believe it.
