Rise Fifty-Seven: The situation is grim
But after thinking about it, I don't feel like I have come up with any reason, it's just that the current stronghold is facing those kinds of crises, either food, or population, and no matter how poor it is, it's a weapon.
But Huo Kai didn't think about it in the direction of the rotting corpse riot at all, Huo Kai rubbed his eyebrows, and at this time, Chen Xueling also walked over cowardly,
She looked at the blood stains on Huo Kai's body and was covered in blood, thinking that Huo Kai probably ran out to hunt carrion corpses again today.
In fact, Chen Xueling was also very curious, because he didn't understand why Huo Kai was working so hard, it was reasonable to eat, drink and have fun in the stronghold.
Why did you have to go so far and risk so much to hunt those ugly monsters, and Huo Kai also saw Chen Xuelin coming,
He asked Chen Xueling gently, "What's wrong?" I'm hungry, or I'll ask the maid to cook some more food,"
Chen Xueling hurriedly shook her head, saying that she was not hungry, but she was just a little curious when she saw the young master come back so early today.
Now Chen Xuelin's status in the stronghold can be said to have improved significantly, although the concealment that night was only known to the two brothers and sisters and Huo Kai,
But others have always thought that this Chen Xueling is already Huo Kai's woman, so his status also treats him like the young master's wife.
There is no contempt and disdain at all, and now Chen Xueling can basically be said to be open for food, and her clothes are stretched out in the room or stronghold, and someone will do it for him or take her to play whatever she wants.
This is something that Chen Xueling didn't feel before, but Chen Xueling also knew that all this was brought to him by Huo Kai.
If Huo Kai is unwilling, he only needs to expose his lies, then Chen Xueling will naturally fall from this height to the bottom in an instant, so he is very grateful to Huo Kai,
And her good impression of Huo Kai is also increasing day by day, Chen Xueling sat quietly at the table, watching Huo Kai start to eat some meals, she suddenly found that Huo Kai was actually quite handsome,
Maybe it was Huo Kai's bad behavior in the past that made his image bad in everyone's hearts, but since that time, everyone has found that this young master is becoming more and more top-notch in terms of appearance and strength.
And Huo Kai looked at this Chen Xueling, who was staring at him curiously, and muttered slightly in his heart, could it be that there was something dirty on his body,
Then Huo Kai subconsciously looked at the clothes on his body, and found that the clothes on his body were stained with black blood and all kinds of dust.
Huo Kai was also slightly stunned, it seemed that he was a little unaware of his image, but Huo Kai did not run to wash directly, but after solving these simple meals very quickly, he slowly walked upstairs to wash.
And Chen Xueling also followed Huo Kai upstairs in order to be realistic, and the maid who cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks below looked at Chen Xueling's figure upstairs with envy
The two servants exchanged words with each other: "This little girl's luck is too good, she followed the young master of our family at a young age, and the young master of our family is now a well-deserved genius in the stronghold,"
The other maid also sighed and said, "No way, who told that little girl to be beautiful by nature?" was even more favored by our city lord, and directly handed over to the young master as a daughter-in-law.
But it's okay, you see the look and posture of our young master and this girl are a match made in heaven, no one is more suitable than the young master."
Another servant snickered: "I'm afraid you can't wait to climb onto the young master's bed," the servant turned red and hurriedly said: "Go and go, don't talk nonsense, if you let the city lord hear it, it will be over,"
Huo Kai in the bathroom kept washing his foul body, and Chen Xuelin, who was just outside the door, also had a slightly hot face, this was the first time he waited for a man to take a bath at such a close distance.
And Huo Kai was in the bathroom, obviously not caring about Chen Xuening's mood, Huo Kai's eyes closed slightly, and the sense of uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger, but after thinking about what serious situation would happen if it really happened,
Then at least Huo Huazhang will say something to her tonight, maybe Huo Kai will know what happened tonight,
After washing up, Huo Kai also changed into casual clothes, and soon the night came, and Huo Huazhang slowly returned to the residential area from his place of work, Huo Kai looked at Huo Huazhang's tired face,
Huo Kai thought about it and still didn't ask, and in the evening, at about nine o'clock, someone came up and knocked on Huo Kai's door, and after Huo Kai opened the door gently, the servant said directly
"The young master's meal has been prepared, the city lord asked me to ask you to go down to eat, by the way, young master, let me tell you that there are a lot of bigwigs in the stronghold below, it looks like what kind of meeting is going to be? Young master, pay attention,"
The servant may have had good intentions, after all, this was the first time he had ever seen so many bigwigs gather in Howardzhang's residence on this day
Whether it was the guards or instructors in the city, basically all the people with heads and faces or in high positions came here, and Huo Kai also nodded,
originally wanted to ask Chen Xueling to go down together, but thinking that this scene was obviously not something that this little girl could bear, so she asked Chen Xueling to stay in the room honestly.
He would ask the servant to bring some food up, and then Huo Kai also sorted out his mood and slowly walked downstairs, and when he walked downstairs, Huo Kai found that all the people in the stronghold who basically held the real power were here.
And their eyes also saw Huo Kai, if it was before, they might be hypocritical and flattering at this time,
But now each of them had a particularly serious solemnity on their faces, and they didn't say the slightest word, and Huo Kai saw this feast that was different from the past.
It was a very rich meal, and even many expensive ingredients were placed here, and Howard's long-cherished red wine was also placed on the table
Faced with this kind of scene, Huo Kai did not panic at all, only to see him walk down the stairs very calmly, and then sat next to Huo Huazhang.
You must know that this is the main seat, Huo Kai would not sit in this position in the past, he would only sit at the end of the table honestly, but now Huo Kai is fully qualified, because he is no longer the waste of the past
And Huo Huazhang also raised his hand at this time, and a calm voice sounded on the dining table, "Everyone has worked hard today, and it has been the same recently, they have all let go of eating and drinking, and after they have eaten and drunk enough, we will talk about business,"
Everyone also nodded, without the slightest restraint, everyone began to gobble, Huo Kai could also see from here,
Usually, the dinner table diet of these guys is definitely not bad, but a scene like today, where several big guys are all gobbling up, is indeed rare.
It can be seen that they have obviously been busy with something recently, and the Howard Zhang wine on the table is also poured one by one, and Huo Kai also began to eat in Mandas.
After all, when he came back in the afternoon, he also ate something to cushion his stomach, so he didn't yearn too much for the food at this table now.
After a full meal, everyone's stomachs were round, and this Howard began to speak slowly, and the location of this meeting may only be so strange as the meeting in the stronghold,
Every time a more serious meeting was held at the dining table at Ho Huazhang's house, and hearing Huo Huazhang's words, Huo Kai also showed a serious expression on his face,
He was indeed a little curious, what was the matter that could make everyone show such a serious expression, Huo Huazhang looked at a captain on the side and asked: "
In the past two days, have you determined what the size of that group of rotting corpses is? ”
I saw the sad face of the captain who was asked, and shook his head in fear: "The number of rotting corpses this time is really rare, it can be said that it is the largest corrosive group we have ever encountered, and these guys are extremely fast,
All of them are in a state of irritability, and behind these waves of rotting corpses, we also found several high-level rotting corpses, and there is a super-large city-breaking rotting corpse at the end.
Therefore, this battle should be very dangerous, and it should be dozens of kilometers away from our stronghold, and Wan Xiongbin on the side said slowly: "No matter what, you can't let these carrion corpses rush in, if this scale reaches our stronghold."
Let's not talk about whether we can dispose of them all, even if it is that giant ruined corpse that has dealt a devastating blow to the walls of our stronghold,
Then our resistance to any danger will be greatly reduced, and once that number of rotting corpses enters the stronghold through the gap, it will be a catastrophe for everyone in the stronghold.
And the grain outside the stronghold is about to usher in the harvest season recently, if this grain is also trampled by these carrion corpses, then this time the food in our stronghold is in an emergency,
After all, it has just been balanced over the years, and if it is trampled on this time, the grain circulation in the stronghold will be greatly reduced.
At that time, the number of people starving to death will increase, and the slums will probably not be able to accommodate so many people who do not have enough to eat.
At this time, Huo Kai knew that there was a tide of rotting corpses, and their destination was directly in the stronghold, which couldn't help but make Huo Kai slightly curious
Why did these aimless rotting corpses all gather at this moment and go straight to the direction of the stronghold, because when he chose the location of the point, Huo Huazhang deliberately stayed away from the city,
I chose a relatively remote place, logically speaking, something like this would not happen, but this time it really happened.
And as soon as this happens, the number of carrion corpses is innumerable, and there are also a lot of huge carrion corpses, which is not something that can be competed with by a gathering point under this kind of level suppression
Huo Kai vaguely felt that this rotting corpse outbreak riot was not as simple as it seemed on the surface, but now things have happened,
The top priority is definitely how to deal with the outbreak of this tide of rotting corpses, and Yuan Xuan, who was on the side, said in a somewhat gloomy voice: "Instead of blindly defending and putting us in a desperate situation, it is better to say that the Jedi counterattack, die and survive, we take the initiative to attack to lure all this part of the rotting corpses away,
Sacrificing some people's lives in exchange for the safety of the entire stronghold, I think this is the most likely and most likely plan to be realized at the moment.
After all, with the reporting of weapons and equipment and personnel in our current stronghold, there is no possibility of resistance at all in the face of this level of rotting corpse tide.
What's more, there is a huge broken city rotting corpse in the back, not to mention resistance in that case, as long as that big guy is close to our city wall, it will definitely be the end of the city's destruction,
And this statement also aroused the consent of everyone present, after all, it is absolutely impossible to be safe to shrink here, and the destination of those guys has been determined to be the location of the stronghold.
Even if it's not a stronghold, they're bound to pass through here, and if they find out that there are a large number of humans in the group, they're bound to be devoured by them.
