Chapter 2 Haiming City in Post-Disaster Reconstruction
Walking down the street, the sun stove was activating normally, and the brief dim lighting that had always been despised in the past was now as lovely as nectar after a long drought.
Perhaps, it is because people are creatures who always know to cherish after they are lost.
It's already four o'clock in the afternoon, and at this time of the day, it's already time to turn off the lights, but today, the artificial solar stove has extended its working hours.
The mixed patrol team of the guards, the city defense army, and the night watchman is still constantly searching the net back and forth, and on that day, there were problems with the three city gates, and many ancient beasts and demon rats entered the city, leaving one, which was a big trouble.
For civilians who have no combat effectiveness, the gap between the weakest abandoned beast and the old god is not big, and after encountering bad luck, it will be an end anyway, but the disgusting fecundity of the demon rat must be strictly guarded.
If the demon rats build their nests in the sewer pipes and ruins, it will be even more dangerous than encountering the siege of abandoned beasts again.
The Night's Watch Association has set up a mission to clean up the city's sewer pipes and block some entrances and exits in an attempt to eradicate these troubles after the inventory in the city is basically over.
It is said that even Qi Lier, who had just obtained the golden emblem through the hunting god, was arrested by the association.
And for ordinary people, it was just the end of another long and difficult night.
The sacrifices of the soldiers made most of the civilians just spend an extended version of the night.
The statistics are already out, the losses are much less than expected, and the cumulative death toll in cities of 300,000 people is less than five thousand.
Originally, the wandering abandoned beasts would have caused a lot of secondary losses, but soon after Jiang Shang killed the Piper Sakya, the rat colony fell into chaos, and the water level of the coastline and rivers skyrocketed, and the flood water that drowned the waist of the adults washed away most of the demon rats at once.
The tide comes and goes quickly, and in less than half an hour, it will completely recede,
Like the rats carried away by the river in the Norse fairy tales, most of the demon rats should have reached the sea by now.
And the plague and virus that would have been caused were wiped out after an inexplicable heavy rain.
It was the raindrops that contained an inexplicable liliang, the plague on the sick was easily dispelled, and the human beings were drenched in the rain, and the spirits were a hundred times greater, while the abandoned beasts who survived the long night seemed to be drenched in concentrated sulfuric acid, wailing everywhere to avoid the rain.
Some people said that this was a strategic weapon of the Ink Research Institute, but it was denied by the Ink Research Institute, and he could not explain that Weishenme did not use it in advance.
However, some people say that they witnessed a silver-haired night singer in a long white dress summoning this miracle rain alone in the square of the docklands.
"How is it possible, if this level of rain and dew is done by manpower, then, at least, it is a super strong person like Shise...... Maybe it's a soul servant with a targeted star soul technique. ”
When Jiang Shang asked, he thought about it for a long time, and Hong Ling made such a judgment.
In fact, she had a more detailed inference, Red Boy had said that day that his sister would use the Star Spirit Weapon to summon the flood, and she could almost guess who the other party was.
"Manna falls from the sky, dead wood rejuvenates, and the dead come back to life? Guanyin's mutton fat jade net bottle? ”
"There is a golden boy and a jade girl under the seat of Guanyin, the good wealth boy is the red child, and the jade girl is the dragon girl of the East China Sea.
"At the same time, she dispelled the flood and the nectar from heaven, and she became stronger again. No, it should be said that she has never seen her exert her full strength, this time, is it her real limit? ”
Although Hong Ling had an inference, when she deliberately concealed the fight with Hong Boy that night, a lot of words were even more difficult to say.
But in any case, the timely action of this Star Soul Manifester cured the plague and the virus on a large scale, and forced out those hiding abandoned beasts, greatly reducing the secondary losses of the citizens.
The loss situation is much better than expected.
The riot at the west gate was contained in the cradle by Hong Ling and Jiang Shang, and the ancient beast herd at the north gate did not cause a lot of losses, so it was cleaned up by the passing Golden Emblem night watchman Qi Lier by the way, and the city defense army at the south gate was the hardest, they had no support, and they were almost caught by the abandoned beast herd.
They had at least thirty percent of the battle damage, and if it weren't for the free people in the dock area blocking the rat swarm, if it weren't for the nectar from the sky and the timely activation of the solar furnace, and fighting a war of attrition with the endless army of ancient beasts without backup, the destruction of the entire army would have been expected.
As for the group of free people in the docklands, they were used as a breakthrough by the rat army, and their losses were also heavy.
Even with the support of the student army in the education district, they are still a large number of young and middle-aged people who have died in battle, and it is expected that at least dozens of small and medium-sized gangs will disappear, and the already chaotic dockland will usher in a new reshuffle.
But there is a reward, and perhaps, many people in the docklands will be able to escape the chaotic slum life.
A large number of abandoned beasts have died in the system, and there are countless people who have been roasted and drowned, and the limbs of abandoned beasts and the soul crystals that have been condensed by chance are originally important raw materials for soul mechanics, which is a lot of wealth.
In particular, Zuihou Sakya recklessly sent his nezumi to death, and even more so that this cunning and difficult intelligent abandoned beast died in large numbers like miscellaneous soldiers.
The tail and eyes of the rat people are important raw materials for high-grade potions, and when an abandoned beast of their level dies, the yield of soul crystals can be much higher than that of ordinary abandoned beasts, which is a huge amount of wealth.
In the past, such a harvest only belonged to the night watchmen who dared to leave the city-state to go out hunting, and even the city guards stationed on the city walls every day could not catch up with the harvest that they occasionally hidden.
"At the very least, the pensions for those who died in battle should be enough."
The soul power was overdrawn, and Jiang Shang fainted too simply that day, but after that, Liu Min's Knights of the Balance took over the distribution of the loot.
It's not that they're the strongest, it's because they, with the balance of justice as their mark, are at least more trusted by the rest of the gang than the rest of the gangs.
Unexpectedly, as the "key gentleman" that night, Jiang Shang also received a trophy, and the income of nearly 30,000 Kaz allowed Jiang Shang not to worry about his part-time job for at least a few months, perhaps, dozens of months......
But there is another takeaway......
"Jiang Shang, have you recovered?"
"Thank goodness we're all worried about you. It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up. ”
"I'll just say that Dr. Mu is unreliable, how can any doctor say that someone else is critically ill, and ask if the other person is willing to let him be a priest and a resurrected person after death."
"Yes, although that Doctor Mu's ability is so powerful that he cured me in one fell swoop, but looking at me and wanting to see a pile of corpses, I would rather take medicine and suffer by myself."
After the catastrophe together, the hurried steps of the residents eased a little, and there was more warmth on the cold faces of the past.
Two days is enough time for Jiang Shang's achievements to spread this small city, and at the celebration party that Jiang Shang accidentally missed, the memory crystal was played repeatedly, and the absent Jiang Shang and his new soul attendants were veritable protagonists.
Walking on the road, former acquaintances or people who have only intersected on one side are taking the initiative to greet him, and this kind of respect for the development of the heart cannot be bought by money.
"Well done, you are worthy of being a child of the Lao Jiang family, Lao Jiang will be proud of you."
"Lao Jiang?"
"You don't know, Jiang Shui Xin Jiang Overlord, he is our ace night watchman born in Haiming City, look, his son is also good, you know? He defeated the outcasts, but he was not a miscellaneous of the abandoned beasts, but the real Twilight Clan. ”
"I heard? Is that him? The hero who saved the city of Heming? He was so thin that he didn't look like a warrior. ”
"Hehe, after all, he is still young, only fourteen years old, he has made meritorious achievements, and his future is very good, if it is not good, our Haiming City will also have a 'ten colors' in the future."
Hearing the discussion behind him, Jiang Shang became even more uncomfortable, he knew how many catties and taels he had, and he blushed a little when he said these words.
Along the way, whether it was a neighbor in the street, or a classmate who only had a one-sided relationship, as long as the person who recognized him, he took the initiative to greet Jiang Shang, and he always dealt with it like a formula in the past, but this time, the young man was a little stiff with a smile.
The chaotic situation is much better, but schools and factories have not yet reopened until the end of the dragnet cleanup of the entire city, and most citizens are resting in their own homes unless there is any reason to go out.
It's not a good idea to go out now and only be repeatedly interrogated by patrolmen.
After all, this time, under the combination of the transformation monster and the internal traitor, the Haiming people suffered a big loss, and I am afraid that the vigilance mechanism will be repaired in the future.
Catello, one of the parties involved in the incident, died on the spot, and even the Parik Chamber of Commerce was implicated. Parrick has done a great job, and I am afraid that the main members of the entire Chamber of Commerce will be put in prison the next day.
But even so, the Parik Chamber of Commerce is also in big trouble, after all, Catro is indeed a backbone member of the Chamber of Commerce, although the whole operation is mixed with a lot of personal interests, but it is still directly linked to the original interests of the Chamber of Commerce, the anger of the relatives of the deceased, the stigma of human traitors, can not escape.
Sluer had actually been expelled from the family, and, due to her wonderful performance in the docks, she could have been held accountable afterwards, but the girl's answer was sound.
"It's not an act of honor to shirk responsibility when the family is in decline, I have decided to leave the family, but Zuihou, I still have to do my duty."
The deal with the Night's Watch was a success, but the notorious state of war forced mobilization clause helped a lot here.
"Article 12 of the Compulsory Mobilization Clause in a State of War states that when the war continues, unless it is a subjective crime against humanity, all other sins can be deducted through military merit."
As long as Slull, who is the manifestation of the Star Soul, is willing to go to war, the Hemming City Government and the local association can postpone the punishment of the Parik family.
Of course, the premise is that the Parik Chamber of Commerce completes the compensation and fines to the families of the deceased, which is not a small amount, and after losing this part of the flesh, the Parik family will be lucky if it can be maintained.
“…… In other words, if you want to use your future military exploits to atone for your crimes, you will become a guilty body before you start, and you owe a lot of favors to repay, which is really powerless. ”
The girl stuck out her tongue, but she didn't pay any attention to her leisurely demeanor.
As the soul servant of Jiang Shang, the star soul envoy, Si Luer was not worried at all that she would not have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions in the future, after all, she also had a deep understanding of Jiang Shang, and she had already anticipated Jiang Shang's choice.
After giving the Star Soul, the Star Soul Envoy still retains a certain control ability, they cannot control the Star Soul Manifester, but they can block or even deprive the other party's Star Soul.
The deprived star soul will fall into a period of sleep and weakness for more than ten years before it can be fused again.
After haode, the Star Soul can be traded between the Star Soul Envoys like weapons, and many Star Soul Envoys themselves are dead, but his Star Souls have spread to all corners of Shijie.
But in fact, although there are countless night watchmen who want to become the manifestation of the Star Soul, most of the Star Souls have extra Star Souls on hand, because the Star Soul is too picky about the qualifications of the Fusion, and it is often the Star Soul that chooses the Fusion, rather than the Fusion Chooses the Star Soul.
According to this Shijie's convention, he accepted the Star Soul and Liliang given by the Star Soul Envoy, and as a price, he naturally had to become the soul servant of the Star Soul Envoy (known as the Star Soul Knight in the West).
The relationship between the soul attendants and the Star Soul Envoy in the East is quite a bit of the flavor of the past family masters and retainers, of course, it is more about the relationship between partners and family members, while in the West, the Star Soul Knights and their lord Star Soul Lord, the name is enough to explain the relationship between the two.
And Si Luer did not return the star soul, so he planned to cut it in two.
"As you know, you and I generally aim for professional night watchmen. Anyway, I will go to the battlefield in the future, and it is better to have liliang than not haode. Although you are always stupid, as a comrade-in-arms, you are still qualified, and then you are not so annoying, please ask for more advice in the future. ”
The girl tilted her head sideways, and there were a series of complaining words, but from the side, it was a promise to follow Jiang Shang to the end.
But now, Sluer really didn't have time to accompany her new master, she was busy, very busy.
Catelo died, and he was overthrown by the original head of the family, Bartley. In order to save his reputation and popularity, in addition to paying fines and compensation, the Parik family also distributed a large amount of family wealth for disaster relief and daily necessities, as well as condolences everywhere.
Even if Si Luer had already planned to leave the family's affairs alone, it was impossible for his old father to go door-to-door alone, coupled with various reconstruction and compensation work after the disaster.
What's more troublesome is the bad atmosphere of reorganizing the family, including the flesh and blood ritual, she doesn't plan to let this value of the jungle and crush each other continue to spread, which is tantamount to a war with many years of customs and the old school of the family, which is not an easy thing.
In a short period of time, she couldn't get out.
Si Luer is very busy, Liu Min has his own knight career, zuihou, only Hong Ling, who is still wearing plaster, to accompany Jiang Shang to accept this unrefusable invitation.
Yes, there is no refusal, or it should be said, there is no reason to refuse.
It was a private invitation from the Winston PhD from the Ink Research Institute, and at the most critical moment of the battle, the Ink Research Institute sent a trap bird to drop the "Wild Boy", which was the winner and loser who turned the situation around, and due to excessive overload, more than eighty percent of the parts of the Violent Boy were reimbursed after the war, which made the weight of this big favor even heavier.
Originally, Winston was a friend of his father, and he took care of himself in many ways, and his part-time job at the Ink Research Institute was provided by the other party.
Now that the elders are invited, please come over after waking up, even if you still have a splitting headache, Jiang Shang still responded to the other party's invitation as soon as possible.
"I hope I don't want to pay compensation....... not to mention the manufacturing cost of the wild boy, the average price of seven thousand six B-grade soul crystals, twelve, I can't sell it enough."
And looking at Hong Ling, who was walking in front of him, Jiang Shang also fell into deep thought.
"Jiang Shang, this way, this way!"
had already arrived at the door of the Ink Research Institute, and Uncle Dawen, who was an elder, took the initiative to greet him and clean up his mood, and Jiang Shang hurriedly greeted him.
