Chapter 164 This is the real timely rain!

Nanling City.

After the beast tide dispersed, everyone could not help but let out a sigh of relief, and finally let go of the worries they had been holding on to.

After receiving the order from the Military Staff Office, in addition to daily city defense, all warriors and soldiers on the city wall withdrew into the city.

Nanling City has returned to its previous calm.

The last days are difficult and crisis-ridden, but life must go on.

Military Staff Office.

Director Xu Jinhong walked back and forth in the office with an anxious and expectant look, and the young man he saw in the lookout mirror kept popping up in his mind.

He was sure that he was not mistaken. The young man was wearing an advisory badge from the Military Staff Headquarters.

And the person who can become the martial arts consultant of the Military Staff Headquarters and be recognized by President Wu and Hong Yuxun must have extraordinary strength.

This can be seen from the fact that the other party could sense that they were peeking at each other from a distance of more than 30 kilometers.

But what Xu Jinhong couldn't figure out was why the martial arts consultant from the Military Staff Headquarters came to Longhu Mountain when he wasn't staying in Shangjing.

Also, now that the beast tide has ended and the crisis in Longhu Mountain has been resolved, will the martial arts consultant drop by to their Nanling City?

To be honest, more than half a year has passed since the demon disaster broke out and the apocalypse came. As the military staff director of Nanling City, Xu Jinhong looked forward to the news coming to the capital almost every day.

But until now, he has not received any clear information.

In fact, not only Shangjing City, but also several other nearby sister cities have been silenced.

The entire Nanling City has completely turned into an isolated city!

The phone lines are blocked, the traffic is not smooth, and there are Wuyang Wuyang monsters outside the city blocking the door. The soldiers and warriors in Nanling City cannot go very far out of the city!

Even those who are in the Golden Body Realm do not dare to step out of the city gate easily.

I visited Longhu Mountain several times before to ask for help, but almost all of them narrowly escaped death and suffered heavy damage.

This is also the main reason why Wei Nanshan, Xu Shanchuan and others complained about Longhu Mountain.

The Taoist priests at Longhu Mountain are too xenophobic and cold-blooded, and have no intention of going down the mountain to help!

Therefore, when they saw Longhu Mountain encountering a beast tide before, they would ridicule and gloat!

"The martial arts consultant from the Military Staff Headquarters suddenly appeared in Longhu Mountain. He must have been more than just passing by!"

"Will he come to Nanling City?"

"Nanling City seems to be stable now, but in fact it is on the verge of life and death. It is in urgent need of support and rescue from higher-level units!"

"This martial arts consultant who suddenly appeared is undoubtedly our best life-saving straw!"

"But, how can we attract this martial arts consultant to the city?"

Xu Jinhong was thinking secretly.

As the director of Nanling City's Military Staff Department, he is also the public figure in Nanling City.

Xu Jinhong knows better than anyone what the biggest crisis Nanling City is facing now.

It’s not because of the lack of experts or the lack of blessing from the master.

It was not artillery either. The ammunition for the firearms was running out, making it difficult to defend the city.

But whether it is the military warehouse or the granary of the major forces in the city, the food reserves have all bottomed out!

There will be a famine soon!

Even for several months, they have been deliberately cutting back on food and clothing, saving money again and again.

But without new grain coming into the warehouse, they have been sitting on nothing.

Now, after persisting for half a year, the grain stored in the grain depot is finally bottoming out!

Xu Jinhong couldn't even imagine what kind of trouble the nearly one million surviving residents in the city would cause if news of insufficient food reserves in the city leaked out!

"Director, the latest statistical results have come out!"

At this time, Luo Yun, deputy staff officer of the Military Staff Office, took a report, walked quickly from the outside into the office, and loudly reported to Xu Jinhong:

"In the third demon disaster, nearly 200,000 soldiers and civilians were killed or disappeared in the city!"

"Among them, most of those who died or disappeared were the elderly, women, and children without any force..."

When Xu Jinhong heard this, his expression darkened, but he breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

Although this mentality is very dishonest and even a bit dark, with more than 200,000 mouths missing, the food supply pressure in the city will undoubtedly be reduced a lot.

It's cruel, but it's reality.

"Director, there are only about 700,000 people left in the city now. If we save a little on the remaining rations, we should be able to last for about ten days and a half."

"We really have to find a way quickly, otherwise everyone in the city will starve to death before the monster attacks the city again!"

Hearing the deputy counselor's words, Xu Jinhong couldn't help but rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Isn’t this nonsense?

Could he not know how critical the situation was?

But the problem now is that they can't contact nearby cities at all, and they don't understand the current situation in other cities.

Some of the volunteer expedition teams sent out before have never returned, and there is no news at all. If nothing unexpected happens, they must be in danger.

Under such circumstances, where do you ask him to go to ask for alms and food?

Some wild fruits and tree barks in the mountains can be used for support at critical moments.

However, as the monsters outside the city become stronger and stronger, who else dares to risk entering the mountains again?

"You are so stupid. There is no food, so you can eat meat!"

"There is so much monster meat outside the city. If you kill just a few of them, won't you get enough food?"

At this time, a little girl's voice came leisurely outside the office window.

"Whose child is making sarcastic remarks here? Stand up for me!"

Hearing this ridiculous saying "Why not eat minced meat", Xu Jinhong immediately became furious and shouted sharply.

Do you really think they are all fools?

As early as the beginning of the demonic disaster, knowing that there would inevitably be a food crisis, the Military Staff Office and various forces in the city had already targeted the huge demonic beasts outside the city.

I originally thought that with so many ready-made prey outside the city, there would be no chance of famine.

It was only when warriors in the city started to hunt and eat the flesh and blood of monsters outside the city, and all of them were poisoned to death, that they truly realized the seriousness of the matter.

They began to organize large-scale testing of the flesh and blood of the monster beasts they hunted.

It was shocking to discover that ninety-nine percent of the meat of different types of monsters contained highly poisonous substances and could not be eaten at all!

God knows how many times they cursed in their hearts after confirming the authenticity of this message.

"What, is there something wrong with what I said?"

"There are so many monsters outside the city, and there are always one or two that are edible. If you are really serious, you can test several kinds a day, and you can always gain something in ten days and a half months!"

brush!

While talking, two slender figures appeared in the office at the same time.

Xiao Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao crossed their arms on their chests, raised their heads and looked at Xu Jinhong and Luo Yun with indifferent expressions, without any nervousness or timidity.

This is not the first time that they have come to communicate with the military staff in these places on behalf of their master, and they are already familiar with it.

"Hey, let me tell you...whose naughty kid is this? How come he has learned to climb through windows?!"

"Also, what you said to Director Xu was not polite at all. Believe it or not..."

Seeing the two little girls not only jumping in through the window, but also speaking so rudely, Luo Yun couldn't help but roll up his sleeves and stepped forward to teach the two naughty children a lesson.

"Assistant Luo!"

Xu Jinhong quickly stretched out his hand to hold Luo Yun, and whispered in his ear:

"We can't afford to offend these two little aunts, so don't be impulsive!"

The moment Xiao Feihong and Lou Xiaoxiao appeared, Xu Jinhong recognized their identities.

Isn't this the little evil star who went on a killing spree in the sky above Longhu Mountain when the beast tide broke out, killing hundreds of human Golden Body Realm warriors one after another?

If there really was a conflict with them, he and Luo Yun were simply not enough people to poke a finger at them.

When he saw them killing the human puppets and high-level monsters in Longhu Mountain, Xu Jinhong had already begun to suspect that these two girls had already advanced to the level of Grandmaster.

Now, the two of them are right in front of them, their auras are calm and natural, they look like two little sisters next door, without any threat at all.

Otherwise, Luo Yun would not dare to point fingers at them if even the slightest aura of their golden bodies leaked out.

Therefore, this made Xu Jinhong even more certain that the two girls in front of him must have been born in the womb and returned to their original nature!
