Chapter 1097: Each has its own crisis
Chang Jianyi didn't want to make a move, because these students under his command have actually grown up, and they have a more important task, that is, to go to the henchmen under him to guard them, and only by guarding the henchmen will their position in Yuzhou be completely stable.
But now, Gong Changfa put forward a very tempting condition, and she can't pretend not to hear it, after all, at this time, the most important thing is actually food.
Now Sichuan and Chongqing have just been affected, I don't know how much farmland has been violated, to this autumn, crop yield reduction has become a foregone conclusion, if there is no foreign grain import, then the Yuzhou area must be indispensable to eat rice dumplings, and even some people in some places can not even afford to eat rice dumplings, but also to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables, in order to fill their stomachs.
"Actually, we don't have too many power potions in our hands!" Chang Jianyi frowned and said.
"I said, even if the price is good, there may not be other supplies in Ice City, but the food is definitely enough, and now our most important thing is to clean up the locusts." Gong Changfa said in a deep voice, now his meaning is very obvious, that is, he hopes to be able to exchange a large amount of food for the ability potion.
Gong Changfa is also very aware of the advantages of Bingcheng, and now the Northeast region is already their monopoly, after all, when the mutant birds attacked, most of the people fled to the south, and a large area of black soil was theirs, and after having energy, although they used large-scale mechanized farming, there were many minerals in the mountains, and food production was their biggest advantage, but now a large number of locusts want to cross the Shanhaiguan Pass to the Northeast to wreak havoc, if the locusts really cross the Great Wall, Then food production in the Northeast will also suffer.
Therefore, Gong Changfa must stop this behavior of the locusts.
Since you can't find Shen Feng, you can either ask for the support of the Ability, or spend a lot of money to buy the Ability Elixir and then cultivate the Ability yourself.
"You're welcome, I want 2 million tons of food, and besides, I'll only give you ten abilities, five of which are useless, and the remaining five don't know what abilities they are, this price is not a good thing for you, but you have thought about it carefully." Chang Jianyi said lightly.
And Gong Changfa breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Chang Jianyi said, for him, he was not afraid of the other party's lion opening his mouth at all, but worried that the other party would not make a deal.
"It's a deal! That's it! After that, we will transport the grain by sea and send it to Yuzhou in the direction of the Three Gorges." Gong Changfa immediately bit the price, and he was ready to gamble, betting that these ability potions could cultivate a powerful ability. Five
"Is the situation in the north really that serious now? Isn't it said that only some locusts are wreaking havoc? These locusts should be easier to deal with, so that they can produce a lot of pesticides, and they can be killed without caring whether the pesticides will pollute the land." Chang Jianyi asked puzzled.
"Mrs. Chang doesn't know, now the whole north has become hell, countless people can no longer live, some people go to extremes, catch locusts and roast them directly, but after eating, they will die on the second day, because the flesh of locusts is also poisonous. If you don't eat these locusts, you will eventually starve to death, but after eating the locusts, you will still die when the poison occurs!" Gong Changfa also said helplessly.
"Summer has arrived, and I heard that this year's typhoon activity is more intense, and there may be a typhoon that can break through the continental high pressure to the northeast region, and then there will be heavy rainfall, and the locust disaster will also dissipate, which is probably not so easy in the Central Plains." Chang Jianyi hurriedly comforted.
"Actually, I originally came to find Shen Feng, hoping that he could help us, and there was nothing else he needed to do, just need him to summon a typhoon, when the typhoon brought strong rainfall, it would be able to wipe out a large number of locusts, but unfortunately he had already gone to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and it was not so easy to find him, let alone when he would be able to come back." Gong Changfa said with emotion.
Chang Jianyi then nodded as well and said, "Since that's the case
During the time when you are waiting for the food to be delivered, you should take a rest in Yuzhou first, maybe Shen Feng will come back after a while."
Gong Changfa said: "No, I don't have time to watch the scenery here, although I know that this is a beautiful place, but I can't stay here for a long time, I am going to go to the southeast, go to Jinling to find Yun Laizhe and Ke Yiming, and ask them to help a little."
Chang Jianyi nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then I can only wish you a smooth journey, as long as you take a boat down the Yangtze River, it will only take one day to reach Jinling."
In fact, the traffic between Yuzhou and Jinling is very smooth, and although the Three Gorges Dam can block the communication between the two sides, the current Three Gorges Dam has no intention of blocking it, and the two cities can only communicate with each other by boat.
In fact, Yuzhou has been waiting for an opportunity, that is, to find a way to occupy the Three Gorges Dam, so there is also the existence of the Three Gorges in the east of Yuzhou, but in a section of the downstream, the Three Gorges Dam has already guarded the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, so although Yuzhou is the southwest gateway, but half of the door is in the hands of others, the so-called side of the couch, how can others sleep soundly, so Yuzhou very much wants to occupy the Three Gorges Dam, but this Three Gorges Dam has become a power station in many cities in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, These cities are strictly guarded, and they will not let Yuzhou snatch the dam at all.
Gong Changfa hurriedly said after receiving Chang Jianyi's reminder: "I almost forgot to explain, in fact, I brought a cart of gifts when I went to Yuzhou, this car is full of gold and silver treasures, although it is not worth anything, but it is a little heart, please accept it!" In addition, please prepare a boat, I am going to go down the Yangtze River to the Jinling area."
And Chang Jianyi's status actually doesn't care about gold anymore, if she wants to get jewelry made of gold, she only needs to command, and someone will send her a full set of gold and silver jewelry on the second day, she doesn't lack these things at all, but the most important thing is an attitude.
Gong Changfa's attitude made Chang Jianyi very satisfied, I heard that this guy was very arrogant before, but now it seems that he is not completely arrogant and uninhibited, but understands the world.
After Chang Jianyi explained the situation, Gong Changfa set off immediately, and Chang Jianyi found a fast boat and sent Gong Changfa to Jinling with light equipment.
Gong Changfa thought that there was chaos in the north, and various areas in the south should be more stable, but it was a pity that he was wrong, because when he arrived in Jinling, he found that the streets and alleys were full of tense atmosphere, and everyone seemed to be vigilant that monsters in the sky would appear.
Gong Changfa quickly found Yun Laizhe and said, "Ah Zhe, I am here to move the rescue troops, I hope you can send troops to the north to help us resist the locusts, because there are too many locusts in the north, if you can't get rid of these locusts, the north doesn't even want to farm."
"I want to help, because I can't stand still in the middle of nowhere, but I can't get out of it." Yun Laizhe said seriously.
"Now you say this kind of thing, I won't believe it, because I also know that there is a lot of water vapor in the south, and the water network is dense, and locusts generally do not go south, but don't forget, once the locusts go south to the south, they will be affected, and then the whole south will be lost, and helping us resist the locusts is also helping ourselves, I believe you understand this truth!" Gong Changfa said seriously.
"Big brother, what kind of person do you think I am, am I this kind of person who shirks death and can't save me? It's really that I can't get out of it right now, so I can't take care of the affairs of the north, and now the affairs of our south are already very tricky!" Yun Laizhe said anxiously.
"Could it be that there are some tricky bugs in the south? Otherwise, how could it not be solved?" Gong Changfa couldn't help but ask.
"Of course, there is a kind of cicada in the mountains that has mutated, and this cicada will fly into the sky after molting, and then it will be the size of a palm, and don't look at such a small insect, its mouthparts can penetrate the fragile bones of humans. Now people in the city don't dare to go out at will, and even if they go out, they must wear helmets, which are the kind of motorcycle helmets that protect the whole person's head." Yun Laizhe explained
。
"I didn't expect such a tricky bug to appear here with you, can you take me to see it? I want to look at the symptoms of these people, and if these cicadas come to the north, we can deal with them." Gong Changfa then asked.
"Of course, no problem, many people are lying on hospital beds now, and some of them have already gone to the morgue, so I'll take you to see it!" Yun Laizhe nodded.
Then the two of them walked towards a hospital, and when they arrived at the hospital, they soon saw a steady stream of patients, these people had all kinds of identities, some were big bosses, some were farmers, and some were ordinary workers, the only thing that was the same was that these people had a blood hole in their heads, and white and red liquid was flowing out of it.
"What the hell is going on with these people's heads? Why do you see them all covering their heads? Could it be that there is a hole in it?" Gong Changfa asked.
"That's right, these people's heads have been pierced through the skulls by this cicada, so the blood and brain marrow are flowing out of it." Yun Laizhe said in a deep voice.
It turns out that this cicada itself sucks the sap of trees to survive, so they have a very sharp mouthpart that can directly pass through the thick bark to suck the sap of the tree, but after mutation, the mouthparts of this insect are also strengthened, and they are able to pass through weak bones.
These cicadas quickly targeted humans, as they discovered that they had a very rich nutrient in the human brain that would fill their stomachs quickly if they were sucked in.
After the two walked into the hospital, they first went to the ward to see these injured people, these people were basically wrapped in bandages around their heads, and many of them had blood oozing out of their temples and eyes, and these people who had been injured looked demented, and when others asked them questions, although they reacted, they often answered after more than ten seconds.
"These people are unlucky, they have been sucked a lot of brain spinach, so now their brains are very slow to react." A doctor came over and explained.
"I've seen that these people are mostly injured in the eyeballs and temples, can you explain, why?" Gong Changfa asked.
The doctor then replied, "The human brain is protected by the skull, so there are many gaps in the bones, but for adults, the fontanelles on their heads have already grown, and the only weak point is the position of the temple, where the weaker bones can be easily penetrated, and the other is that the eyeball is also easy to suck the cerebral marrow after the mouthparts are inserted into the eyeball, so the cicada chooses these two parts to attack."
"I see, can you take me to the morgue to have a look? I've heard that quite a few people have died in the mouths of cicadas." Gong Changfa then asked.
"Of course, no problem, if you want to know anything, we'll tell you soon!" The doctor said lightly.
