Boom, boom, white light from time to time filled this gray world. Lightning is like an electric snake twisting between heaven and earth.

At this moment, there has been no food in the shelter of the imperial capital for two days.

More than 1.5 million people crowded between the two walls, back to back and foot to foot. It seems to be squeezing the air out of the already small space, and the depression and dullness make everyone here feel depressed and unhealthy. Add to that two days of starvation, and people are already on the verge of collapse.

Wayne was sitting on a ticking time bomb right now, and if he couldn't think of a solution to the food, he would have to use the magicians to seal off the inner city. Prevent the victims from causing chaos.

The only good news is that the heavy rain is showing signs of lighter.

Evans had just returned from an expedition to the shelter and had brought back a bloodstained fur.

Gray motley hair, which Wayne certainly knew was rat fur.

Said half-angrily and half-helplessly.

"Didn't you say that you can't eat rats, so that the plague can easily spread. ”

Evans shook his head.

"Not to mention rats, I can't even find lice now. And even with the help of magicians, the water supply for 150,000 people is still difficult to solve, and many people drink directly from this flood. The situation is more complicated than I thought. ”

Wayne asked frustratedly.

"How many days will the food last?"

Bennett replied.

"If it's open, it can last for three days. ”

The unsettling atmosphere in the air intensified instantly, and there was at least half a month left in this heavy rain. People can't go hungry for five days, not to mention that there is a blank period of more than ten days.

Wayne asked.

"It seems that in the "Rune Documentary" it is said that there was a famine when Rune was 11, and there was no food at that time. People began to pick leaves and throw bark. ”

Immediately, everyone present was silent.

After a while, it sounded.

Coo~The sound of cooing~.

Evans clutched his stomach in embarrassment.

I pressed down hard, trying not to make a sound from my stomach.

"Don't push it. ”

Wayne pulled a palm-sized, uneaten loaf from the drawer.

"Here, eat this. ”

Evans refused.

"No, no, no, Master Wayne, it's yours. How can I eat. ”

Wayne shoved it into Evans' hands.

"I ate this morning, and now you're all out there. I don't move much, you consume a lot and need to replenish. ”

Evans couldn't refuse, and was about to take a bite.

Cuckoo~

Bennett smiled apologetically, and Outlaw kept his greed from showing. Waller's eyes looked away, trying to pretend he didn't care.

Evans smiled.

But the bread is so small that it doesn't seem to be enough to divide it.

So he took a pot and set it up. Bring water to a boil and put the bread in.

A smell of porridge spread, and I couldn't stop swallowing my saliva.

Take the bowl and hold one bowl per person. The hot porridge is steaming, and the warm current spreads from the palm of the hand to the whole body, making people feel warm.

Suck~

Suddenly, the room was filled with the sound of drinking porridge.

After a while, the porridge was finished. Originally, the bread was not large, so the amount of porridge cooked was scarce.

Happiness goes too fast.

made everyone a little reluctant.

Wayne said.

"There are some forests outside the eastern part of the imperial capital, send someone to take a look. ”

"Okay, I'll send the police. ”

Garrido said.

"Hmm. ”

.....

After a few people touched each other, they dispersed again. There is still a lot of work to be done.

Wayne leaned back in his chair and looked at the red circles on the map.

At that time, the center of the rainstorm was the center, and the marginal cities could rely on the assistance of nearby cities. And reinforcements from these red-circled cities will not arrive.

Moreover, these cities do not have the strength of the imperial capital at all, and it is even more difficult to control disasters.

Of course, Wayne could choose not to do it, after all, it was impossible for the victims to cross the flood to reach the imperial capital.

But how many people can survive in these cities after the rainstorms.

Wayne's thoughts were swirling, and a sense of powerlessness filled his mind.

A beautiful figure appeared at the door, followed by several people.

"Wood. ”

A playful but loud voice reached Wayne's ears.

Wayne also had a headache, listening to the voice, of course Wayne knew who it was, and who would dare to call him wood except Audrey.

And I've been so busy lately that I haven't had time to see her, so I'm probably going to be bored to death.

Audrey didn't get a drop of water on her body, thanks to the magician's work.

"Wood, why haven't you come to see me lately? ”

Audrey crossed her hands on her hips with a look of questioning.

Wayne said.

"Your Majesty, I'm busy with disaster relief. How can I have time to meet you?"

"Flim, forget it. The emperor is not unreasonable, this is not to see you. You're no one else blessed. ”

Wayne just wanted to speak.

Cuckoo~

Wayne whistled and looked away. Trying his best to hide his embarrassment, the last time he ate was the day before yesterday, and he didn't eat at all this morning. That bread was meant to be eaten today, but now it's given to Evans. Wayne was still hungry.

Audrey thought it was funny, but then something came to mind.

The mood is a little lonely.

"Funa, bring the lunch box. ”

"But, Your Majesty. That's when your lunch. ”

"If you take it, hurry up. ”

....

Wayne laughed.

"Actually, it didn't have to be like this, I just forgot to eat it. I'm going to eat it now. ”

Audrey immediately stopped in front of Wayne, who was looking for an excuse to escape.

"I don't care, you have to eat with me now. ”

At this time, the lunch box was brought up.

Wayne couldn't refuse, after all, he was indeed hungry.

Audrey asked Wayne to open the lunch box with an expectant look. Wayne saw the food inside, albeit much better than usual. But not at all like the level of a court cook.

Reminiscent of Audrey's expectant expression.

Wayne smiled.

"This dish is good, it smells good. ”

Audrey was overjoyed.

Then Wayne picked up a small piece of meat and dipped it in some mustard.

The gravy spread out in his mouth again, and Wayne hadn't eaten meat in a long time. Now I taste the meat, and my heart tastes like it.

"It's not bad, I don't know who made it. ”

Audrey said proudly.

"You can't guess. ”

Wayne saw Audrey's appearance and then said.

"Well, that's it. It's not as good as my chef's, and if the palace chef is at this level, he will change it. It's a shame to be royal. This meat has been roasted for a long time, and it is a bit of firewood. And some of it is blackened. And this bread, as soon as you look at the flour, it hasn't been fermented for a long time. ”

Audrey was full of joy, but she was not angry when Wayne said this. And he seems to be right. The thought of him showing himself his cooking skills in Vasser.

"Wood, toast without eating and drinking, the emperor got up early this morning to give you the method, you are so unappreciative. You don't know how many dresses I burned to sit on this meal. ”

Wayne asked smildly.

"How much was burned?"
