Chapter 701 The storm is rising, and the attention from the inspection team is coming!
"So the situation is like this. We are here tonight just to inform you to be prepared. If you have other opinions, just go to the city and find the corresponding chamber of commerce for feedback."
"In addition, our inspection team also simultaneously monitors the responsible managers. If you encounter a bad attitude or other emergencies when making comments, you can also come to us for response, and we will deal with it immediately."
"Can you understand?"
After conveying all the information on the note, the leading man in uniform quickly made a summary with an extremely friendly attitude.
After all, they also have a lot of opinions about this summer harvest that started early and ended early, but they are not enough to explain it to outsiders.
"I understand, I understand!"
Standing up, Zhang Bowen had no expression on his face and kept saying pleasantries as he sent the three of them out of Liangfang Gate.
It wasn't until he came back and sat next to Somo that he angrily punched the table, making a loud bang.
The house leaked and it rained all night.
When the inspection team came in the morning, everyone in the Zhang family thought that Qiankun Liangxing was working behind the scenes, trying to borrow a knife to kill people and put Zizai Liangfang in a state of catastrophe.
But the performance of the inspection team tonight was beyond what Little Qiankun Food Bank could ask for. It was obviously
"Teacher, it seems that the next disaster will occur during the summer harvest, and the magnitude should be quite large!"
Under the influence of what they hear and see, disasters are basically equivalent to eating and drinking water for people in the wasteland.
From old people to children, from scavengers to city leaders.
Nine years have been enough for everyone to become familiar with and accustomed to disasters!
Moreover, as the territory becomes more and more powerful and the population gathers more and more, the rules of disaster have also changed drastically.
In the past, every human being would receive news from disasters at a fixed time period.
But with the concept of territory, only the lord and the people designated by the lord can see the entire territory on the game panel.
If ordinary people want to know about a disaster, they must either notify the territory or wait until three days before the disaster strikes.
At other times, there are no other channels!
"Hurry up and develop tools. Since there is a disaster, we can only listen to fate and do what everyone wants."
Not sure if it was his arrival that caused this sudden disaster.
Seeing Zhang Bowen who was completely confused, Su Mo could only comfort him for a while.
After a while, after seeing that Zhang Bowen's mood had calmed down a little, Su Mo had no intention of going back to work. He only hurried to the workroom to tidy up for a while and then announced that he was off work.
"Brother Su, what did the inspection team just call you to say?"
"They are a bunch of idiots who know how to bully ordinary people like us every day. The interests of the rich are their interests, and the interests of us poor people should not be taken seriously, right?"
After leaving the gate of Liangfang and on the way home, Sun Quan looked around for a while, but in the end he couldn't help but be curious.
As we spent more time together, his true nature was gradually revealed.
The sense of security is extremely low. Unless you trust someone at first sight, it will take a year and a half for others to get to know each other before they gradually open up to you.
I don't trust the management level of the territory at all. If I catch a loophole in management, I can talk as long as an old lady's feet.
Coupled with his habit of often complaining about the unfairness of the territorial system and being pessimistic about the future development of the territory.
These things that cannot be seen in ordinary people are basically seen through by Soma.
Even now, Sun Quan doesn't intend to pretend anymore.
"It should be that a large-scale disaster is coming. It is estimated that the time should be from June 25th to July 1st."
"The inspection team came over and requested that the summer harvest time be advanced to the 15th and the time shortened to ten days."
"What? Only ten days for summer harvest?"
Sun Quan was obviously startled, and he couldn't help but step into a puddle next to him.
Wow!
The stagnant water rose up, and the ripples on it looked like Sun Quan's current state of mind.
Explode!
diffusion!
Hard to recover!
You must know that these two seemingly light "little words" Xia Shuo are not limited to the small Sangtian Town, nor are they limited to the Tianyuan Territory, which seems to be a giant.
Looking at the entire wasteland continent, the summer harvest is almost a feast for everyone.
The only difference lies in the area size and plant species.
Once a disaster breaks out during the summer harvest, it will just affect these thriving food crops.
So
"Food disaster, food disaster is about to break out again!"
Glancing at the darkness behind him, Sun Quan seemed to think of some difficult past, and his face turned pale.
In the eight years since the wasteland, it seems like nothing major has happened.
But as of now, the number of humans has dropped by more than one billion again, and the overall number is less than 500 million people.
And this includes all the people aged between 60 and 10 years old!
Of course, some of them did die in battles with alien races, in complicated disasters, and in ever-changing invisible dangers.
But there is no doubt that food disasters will always be the culprit that seems insignificant, but in fact almost bears "full responsibility".
"Brother Su, it's bad. It's really bad this time!"
"Last year, Wuya Prefecture had to lower prices to harvest wheat and hoard a wave of resources to enhance disaster resistance. However, in order to stabilize grain prices, our territory had to sell off a large amount of grain and hoard grain to stabilize the situation."
"But if a food disaster breaks out this year, our territory will definitely be the first to bear the brunt. If the summer harvest grain cannot come in, we will be the first to bear the brunt."
"Why don't we just stock up on food?"
Having no food to eat is no longer a quality of life issue, but has suddenly become a survival issue.
Even with the risk of the inspection team, Sun Quan was willing to take risks, which showed that the surviving humans in the entire wasteland were really frightened.
"Stock up. Since they are so nervous, there must be many people who can guess that a disaster is about to strike. As long as we don't stock up more, there should be no problem."
After passing a corner, there were already long queues at the small shops in front of them that were rarely visited by people on weekdays.
Seeing many people buying bags of white flour and rice, Sumo nodded silently and simply joined the team with Sun Quan.
After a long while, the team kept moving forward, and finally it was their turn.
Only then did Sumo see clearly that a wooden sign had already been erected in front of the store, with black writing on it:
Individuals are limited to purchasing up to 30kg of grain.
Selling price per kilogram of grain: 1 trading point (yuan coins are not accepted for the time being).
Based on the degree to which the handwriting was washed away by splashing rainwater, it can be roughly judged that this wooden sign had been written and dried as early as yesterday, or even the day before yesterday.
It was only put on display this afternoon when there were signs of panic buying.
In addition, the price of food has also risen quietly, by about 30%.
This is Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone knows it.
“What do you want, white flour or rice?”
“Let’s make some noodles!”
Open the game panel, connect with the salesman, and Somo has passed 30 trading points.
I successfully got a bag of white noodles that was fairly well packaged and substantial.
On the other hand, Sun Quan did not try to save money and bought a whole bag of rice.
I just don’t know if it’s because his physical fitness is not that good, or if he has strong opinions on the purchase restriction.
After walking a few steps, Sun Quan bared his teeth and grinned.
"Okay, let me help you."
"Exercise more and exercise more. If chaos really breaks out, even if you, the idiot, have hoarded food, I'm afraid you will be used as a granary by others."
After walking less than fifty meters, Sun Quan said he wanted to take a rest.
Seeing this, Sumo had no choice but to walk over, lift the bag, and put it on his other shoulder.
"Fuck!"
"Brother Su, you are so strong!"
Seeing Sumo carrying two big bags by himself, he was still walking as fast as he could.
Sun Quan wiped his eyes with a look of disbelief.
Among all the interviewees at that time, the biggest reason why he was willing to contact Somo was because from the outside, the two of them were almost similar in stature and height.
This is why he, the weak, joined forces, so he showed great favor.
But now, looking at Sumo's physical fitness.
When he realized that Somo had walked more than ten meters, Sun Quan let out a strange cry and hurriedly caught up.
"Damn, I thought we two weaklings would join forces, but in the end, Brother Su, you turned out to be so strong!"
"When you hold me together, I finally reached your thighs!"
Curiously, he touched the bulging muscles on Somo's arm and felt the strong tension brought by the muscle fibers.
Sun Quan became inexplicably excited, which made Somo shudder.
"Go away, don't be disgusting"
"Also, since they don't accept Yuan coins, try to use the Yuan coins you have saved in these two days."
"Don't let it depreciate when the time comes. You'll lose blood!"
"Of course I know that." Sun Quan nodded, his attitude much better than before.
After a while, they finally reached the place where the two of them usually separated.
With the idea of sending the Buddha to the west, Sumo simply continued to carry the bag and followed Sun Quan to where he lived.
An unfinished building hidden in an alley.
This building was originally designed to have four floors, but for some unknown reason, only the first and second floors are available now.
After going up to the third floor, all the windows were broken.
"You didn't want me to live there before, did you?"
Pointing to the third floor, he looked at Sun Quan with a sneer on his face, picking up the rice bag and running away.
Sumo touched his nose and couldn't help but shook his head and walked towards Gutian Third Street.
I looked in at the entrance of the alley before and saw that the street where Sun Quan lives is still quite popular.
But now, compared with the lively Gutian Third Street, his place seems quite deserted.
"If there is really chaos in the next few days, let Sun Quan come and stay at my place."
Approaching the entrance of the alley, looking at the dim light rising from the second floor of the unfinished building, Sumo made up his mind and no longer hesitated.
Five days were enough for him to see a person clearly.
Fundamentally speaking, Sun Quan's character has surpassed that of most people in the wasteland.
Including his actions, although they are somewhat selfish, they are also human nature.
It is destined to leave this ruins, just like leaving a hidden hand in the deep sea world.
This time, Sumo naturally didn't want to leave so easily.
He not only wanted to do something as he discussed with Poseidon Jiang Chu last time.
It is even more necessary to use some special means to test the bottom line of the game and the real reasons for its formation.
And Sun Quan has the potential to become one of them.
While thinking, I walked through the alley.
With the nourishment of authority, the body of "Su Youzong" is already stronger than when he traveled through time.
Waiting until Sumo jumped from a high wall as light as a swallow.
The small courtyard is suddenly in front of you.
On the evening of June 6, the continuous rain curtain finally subsided along with the cumulus clouds, and began to gradually become smaller and smaller until it disappeared.
Following the intricate drainage pipes in Hope City, the accumulated water surged out like a giant dragon and merged into a surrounding river.
On both sides of the river bank, there is solid soil and rock.
At this time, as several officers in black uniforms came over, a piece of earth and rock moved slightly, revealing a downward entrance.
It seemed to be a familiar way of entering. The three of them were not surprised and quickly jumped down the exposed hole.
Within a minute or two, after passing through the intricate tunnels, the three of them finally arrived at the end of the trip.
Tianyuan Territory, the whole territory supervision center.
This is a sign carved on a thick iron door.
Next to the iron gate, there is an instrument responsible for verifying identity, which is emitting a long blue light.
Seeing this, the leading man in black took off his mask and quickly verified his identity.
Not long after, with a rapid beeping sound, the door began to slowly open, revealing the true face of Mount Lu inside.
A huge natural cave with a length of 600 meters, a width of 500 meters, and a height of 30 meters!
From left to right, the entire cave is not divided into strict areas, only simple signs are used as a guide.
From top to bottom, the top of the cave is inlaid with hundreds of fist-sized spotlights, emitting bright light, illuminating the interior as if it were daytime.
Just going from the ground to the underground is like entering a science fiction world.
Countless seemingly exquisite instruments are now neatly arranged inside the cave, revealing a straight passageway.
The intersecting indicator lights flash and flash in rhythm with the breathing of the people inside.
But the most eye-catching thing is the giant screen hanging at the front of the cave.
Identify carefully.
This giant screen, which is fully fifteen meters long and wide, is divided into hundreds of parts, displaying real-time surveillance camera footage of Hope City and surrounding areas.
From time to time, some pictures are slightly enlarged and then quickly become smaller.
In the picture, all the objects are ordinary.
Only those pedestrians who passed by were marked with various colors.
Eye-catching red, dazzling yellow, harmonious green, dim purple, and meaningless black.
"Captain, captain!"
"Oh, let's go"
The entrance door had already been opened, but looking at this huge screen, the captain in black was a little stunned.
It wasn't until the subordinates behind him called out a few times that he suddenly came back to his senses and quickly quickened his pace.
After a while, the three of them passed through several areas with ease, and after verifying their identities, they entered an area called the "Threat Identification Department."
There are not many people in this area, only about thirty people.
But on the contrary, there are many computers that can be controlled here, hundreds of them.
"Hey, Captain Yu is here"
"What's up? Have you made any new discoveries?"
It seems that many of the staff present are familiar with the captain in black.
As soon as he appeared, a thin man came up to talk to him with a smile.
"Well, I suddenly met a very interesting person today."
"I want to see his movements"
Not shying away from the purpose of his visit, Yu Zhou smiled and quickly sat down to start operating.
When other staff who were still idle heard this, they couldn't help but come over.
"Captain Yu has a sharp eye. Who of the traitors who have sneaked into our territory can escape his eyes?"
"That's right, I still remember that last time there was a team that wanted to come into our territory to steal energy stone technology. However, they were caught just after meeting Team Yu on the street."
"In my opinion, if Captain Yu was not in our inspection team, but went to the city's security team, how could he still be a captain now?"
"What's the use of the security team? You can't help but feel weak after seeing our inspection team?"
"Haha, don't brag in front of Team Yu. Isn't this a big show in front of Guan Gong? Please watch Team Yu's actions!"
It is human nature to watch the excitement.
Watching Yu Zhou operate, the search interface on the computer has been opened, and everyone's chatter stopped immediately, and they began to gather and focus.
