Dark Age

Chapter 176 Food Crisis
The conference room was filled with gunpowder.

It was a man who spoke, his brows were full of hostility, and the whites of his eyes were scarlet and bloodshot - Zhou Quan!
He is Zhou Zhiyuan's father, and he has not yet recovered from the death of his son. In this apocalyptic era, too many relatives have died, and now, even his only son died in the army for no apparent reason.

No matter how great his power and methods are, he still seems too weak in the face of absolute strength.

Different from the abyss, on the human side of the earth, although new forces are gradually taking shape, they are far from as powerful as those cities in the abyss, able to deter all living beings.

Here, if Ye Mo is willing, he can even assassinate anyone with his strength, including Zhang You.

The reason why the city lords in the abyss can stand proudly and be immortal for thousands of years is that apart from the powerful private army in their hands, their own strength is almost the highest existence in the city.

The weak prey on the strong, and only strength can suppress one side.

Obviously, neither Zhang You nor the senior generals of the military region have reached the state of being an enemy of ten thousand people.

Mo Shuang, the head of the logistics department, is not a messy guy. She has no background, but she still sits in this seat. Especially, Zhang You is very relieved to entrust the supplies to her.

Mo Shuang stood up coldly, dressed neatly, and unlike Chang Ge, her face was icy cold, and no one seemed to have good intentions.

Her husband died because of a mission in the early years. At that time, they were just married. It has been nearly ten years now, and Mo Shuang has never found another man.

"Colonel Zhou, let me tell you this..." He leaned forward slightly, "Do you know how many regular troops we still have?"

"Counting the demon hunters who just joined, there are a total of 20."

"The food we provide to demon hunters every day is twice that of ordinary people, but even if it is increased by ten times, the supplies provided to demon hunters are not as good as ordinary people."

"A rough estimate is that there are probably more than 200 million people in and around Qiantang City who need supplies from us every day."

"Originally, after a long boil, it could last another month. After 20 days, the grains cultivated by the scientific research department to adapt to various bad climates can mature on a large scale, but now..."

"Ten days, this is still a polite way of saying."

"Some people must have food stored in their homes, but if they all die for some reason, then I believe that after three days, large-scale turmoil will begin."

People can face the crisis of life and death, and they can face the demons of the abyss. That is because there is still hope of living. As long as they work hard, they can survive.

But today, if there is a shortage of food, no one knows what will happen.

Will those extremely hungry people become like demons and attack humans?

Mo Shuang's face seemed to be covered with frost. These guys usually only come to the logistics department to get supplies, but they don't know that from the end of the day to the present, the supplies are being consumed doubled every day, and it's nothing more than sitting and eating.

The brains of these men are really like pigs!
She took a few deep breaths, forced to hold back her anger, then turned to look at Zhang You, and said, "General, judging from the current situation, the death of those plants in the scientific research department is likely to be caused by the reappearance of hungry plants some time ago. Now that the city is blocked by heavy snow, the snow on the ground is too thick, if those plants are under the snow, it may be difficult to find..."

When talking about this, several generals including Zhang You and Chang Ge gasped in unison.

Because they thought of a more serious problem - whether the food in the logistics department would also be affected by the hungry plants.

"report!"

Someone knocked on the door and came in. It was a soldier from the logistics department. His face was so ugly that he was about to cry, "Liangliang... food, it's gone..."

With a bang, a general's cup hit the ground and shattered.

This is undoubtedly worse.

"Meat products and various canned biscuits, if you save money, you can last for seven days." Mo Shuang said quickly.

"Okay, keep in mind that the amount of food for ordinary residents in Qiantang City remains the same, and the Black Owl Association will let them handle the food themselves. We will not provide it. The supplies of all soldiers in the military area will be reduced by half." Zhang You said seriously.

"Then we still have half a month." Mo Shuang said immediately.

"Okay, in half a month, free up some people to clean up the heavy snow around, solve the hungry plants, and find someone to go to the granary a little farther away."

It is obviously impossible for the capital to airdrop supplies. First, the distance is too far to transport supplies for more than a million people. Second, the capital's own food is carefully calculated.

……

The snowy sky was dim, and the thunder was still ringing, and everyone seemed to be used to this kind of life.

"This snow is so thick that even training can't be done."

"Captain, look at the weather, it's almost freezing people to death."

Although the soldiers of the Fumo Legion said so, in fact, they were all training in the snow with their shirts off.

This is a good opportunity to train low-level cold resistance, and even girls bury their bodies in ice and snow.

Although the training of the demon army is not the most brutal, it is the most effective. This is mainly because Ye Mo has more knowledge than ordinary people.

Cold resistance, toxin resistance, high temperature resistance... If these resistances are available, unexpected effects will occur during the battle.

"Report and report!" Zhang Yue, one of the few male mages in the Subduing Demon Legion, ran over. He had a bit of a stutter, and Ye Mo was always surprised that he could cast spells so smoothly with a stutter.

"Say!"

"The supplies are gone..."

"It's gone? What do you mean?" Ye Xiu was puzzled.

"Bah, bah, bah, it's... the supplies are low. From now on, the... special supply of our legion will be cancelled, and the supply of all legions will be reduced by half."

"And then let us clear the snow... This area is under our control, there may be hungry plants underground..."

Sure enough, the Lord of Hunger.

Ye Mo's expression froze, and he looked at the sky, which was filled with darkness, but he believed that there must have been many children of misfortune and children of God who had descended quietly.

Their strength has not exceeded the extraordinary domain, so naturally they will not cause too much fluctuation, as long as they are careful and concealed, there will be no problem.

Ye Mo still hasn't figured out some things, so he needs more information. It might be better if he goes to Fallen Leaf City.

……

In the evening, Ye Mo went to Xiyan's side. At this moment, the immortal rice had already shone on the entire hill, and each one was as plump as jade.

"The hunger lord has started to act. I must hurry up, but it is best not to expose Xiandao right now." Ye Mo also has selfish intentions. There is a difference between saving people in adversity and saving them before they are in danger.

The former can make people feel grateful, while the latter is a little smaller.

He's not strictly a good guy.

To be precise, Ye Mo is persecuting the magic pattern tablet in Qiantang City. If more than half of the people in Qiantang City die, they will definitely not be able to resist the next change, and the magic pattern tablet will also be obtained by the devil.

Therefore, Ye Mo is waiting for the limit of the magic pattern tablet. If possible, he needs to appropriately reduce the requirements of some city lord trial tasks, or reduce the difficulty of mandatory tasks.

There is a mandatory task before the second turn, but he has not forgotten it.

"My lord, I went to find out. Based on the daily consumption of the demon army, it is estimated that the immortal rice will be used in a few days." Xiyan also often goes to the demon army now, so she naturally knows everyone, and Ye When Mo Mo is not around, Xi Yan is a powerful helper.

Ye Mo nodded, suddenly his expression became condensed, and he directly opened the best perspective, looking into the distance.

His eyes penetrated the darkness, where several figures appeared in a trance.

If Ye Mo is not mistaken, that aura is Zhang You!
"Zhang You? What is he doing here?" Surrounded by mountains and covered with heavy snow, there are fewer and fewer people in this small town.

There is a layer of illusion around Xiandao, so naturally I don't worry that others will see through it.

As soon as Ye Mo's body lightened, he lurked in the past. He needed to figure out some things.
