My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! - Chapter 1312.0
[Chapter 1,281 During labor pain, inevitable sacrifice!]
“Quick, go and check for me how many people are planting rice in the territory. These greedy gambling dogs are really killing people!”
“Guard, guard, maintain order. I don’t want to see any riots.”
“Hurry up and announce it to me. The residents who planted rice will be compensated, and the territory will definitely be responsible for sharing their future material pressure!”
“You asked me what to do, and I also want to ask you what to do. How about you become the lord?”
“Don’t panic, don’t panic, we can wait until the temperature drops and switch to wheat!”
“.”
The sudden announcement shattered the tranquility of the afternoon.
It wasn’t just the ordinary survivors from each territory who got into chaos and captured the World Channel.
The lords who adhered to the principle of ‘Build walls high, accumulate food widely, and slowly become kings’ were uncontrollably panicked at this time.
Except for some lords who have strong control and foresight, they will strictly control the types of planting.
More than 80% of the territory is left to the residents to freely make their own choices.
Compared with wheat, although rice has obvious disadvantages in the wasteland, it has an absolute advantage.
Yield!
Rice ears are larger than wheat ears, with more spikes and more fruit. The number of grains per panicle is generally more than 70-80.
In contrast, wheat has many flowers but low seed setting rate, generally only 20-40 grains.
Moreover, the growth cycle of rice is relatively short. It usually only takes about three months to complete the entire growth cycle from germination to fruiting.
For some gamblers who always want to gain the most gains at the greatest risk, the yield gap of at least 30% between rice and wheat and the shorter harvest cycle are naturally worth their while.
Mengyue territory is located in the southern fire domain plate.
As one of the territories with a rice planting rate of over 80%, before the announcement was issued, this place was like an independent paradise outside the wasteland, far away from the hustle and bustle, quiet and beautiful.
The sun shines through the blue sky and white clouds, shining on the rice buds that have just poked their heads out of the soil.
The freshly turned soil exudes a light fragrance, as if you are in a natural oxygen bar, which is refreshing.
Among the rice fields, the cheerful figures of the survivors shuttled among them. They were holding hoes, wooden shovels and other tools, and they were busy in the fields without stopping for a moment.
Although there was sweat on their faces from exhaustion, everyone’s eyes were full of anticipation and joy for the autumn harvest.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. After the disaster announcement was issued, all this became a thing of the past in an instant!
“What, disaster has struck again. Damn it, the temperature is going to drop to minus 30 degrees. What will happen to our rice?”
A trembling and fearful voice suddenly sounded from the ground. The speaker’s face was extremely pale, obviously unable to accept this cruel reality.
“Oh my god, go check it out on the World Channel. At this temperature, all the rice will freeze to death!”
“How is it possible? I, I don’t believe it!”
“It’s true. Disaster is coming in seven days. All our rice fields will be destroyed!”
The voices became one.
More and more exclamations appeared as if they were trying to resist this completely unacceptable fact.
However, the reality is cruel. The local survivors rushed to the main road, but they could only see other survivors who looked as panicked as them.
Under natural disasters, everyone becomes an ant.
Obviously, they made an important mistake!
“Don’t panic, everyone should return to their own areas. Trust the territory. We will take action immediately. Maybe there will be a turnaround!”
The person in charge of the surrounding rice fields also rushed out, holding a simple loudspeaker and loudly trying to calm everyone down.
However, his words did not have much effect, and angry voices sounded next:
“Go away, you are coaxing a child. My whole family is waiting for the rice to be cooked. Can you shoulder the responsibility?”
“Action, you know how to act every day, you xx are acting, how should you act when it’s thirty degrees below zero!”
“It’s all the fault of this beast Lu Guangyin for his xing. He made us all grow rice. He should be held responsible now!”
“You are crazy. If Lord Lu hears it, you are afraid you will be caught in the dungeon.”
“Am I crazy? I think you are crazy. Without the next food, people will eat people here soon!”
“You’re right, are you still there? This layman, I have been unhappy with you for a long time. You are here to point fingers every day. Do you think you are Su Shen?”
“Go away, go away, we are going to find Lu Guangyin and get back the supplies we handed over before.”
The angry curses were like a fuse, instantly igniting the anger in the hearts of the survivors.
Everyone began to accuse and attack each other, and the situation was getting out of control.
Even some members of the guard who maintained order lost their usual calmness when they heard that the coming autumn harvest would be completely destroyed.
Crowds of people came from all directions, gathered together, and poured into the center of the territory like a black cloud.
Mengyue County!
However, what everyone didn’t know was that the “wise” Lord Lu had already made a decision from the moment the announcement was made.
“Quick, we must move the supplies before they come. As much as we can move, and the rest that can’t be taken away, throw it out for them to grab!”
From the open material warehouse, bags of flour and rice were carried out, put on trucks and hauled away.
The air was filled with tension and confusion. Occasionally, food was knocked scattered on the ground, but no one was willing to stop and pick it up. They just stepped on it in a hurry, leaving debris all over the ground.
The poor survivors are still arguing over how to save the rice fields, unaware that their lord has made such a selfish decision.
“Guard, guard, stop them!”
“What, you asked me how to stop them, of course you are lying to them. Could it be that you want to tell these people that the supplies in the supply warehouse are only enough to support everyone’s consumption for a month?”
“If you want to live, follow me. If you want to stand up for those people, you can come and beat me to death now.”
Lu Guangyin’s words were full of threats and provocations, and his eyes swept across everyone present like a wolf, including Xi Ruyue, who was standing in the corner with a disappointed face.
Any choice has a price. Since Mengyue Territory lost the bet, it should pay the price.
Now, everyone can make new choices.
Either stay on the front line with the group of survivors and face the coming threats of severe cold and hunger.
Either follow him and evacuate with the supplies, and go to another place to start over again with your life.
“Ruyue, if you want to stay, I can leave half of the supplies to you.”
“Even my position as lord can be given to you!”
It seemed that his scalp was numb from being stared at by Xi Ruyue. Lu Guangyin coughed lightly, seemingly making a concession, but in fact he was secretly digging a hole.
After her brilliant performance in Wanjing’s main competition, Xi Ruyue has now become one of the signatures of Mengyue Territory.
It is precisely because of her good relationship with the human God Su that many newcomers to the territory are willing to hand over supplies honestly and strictly follow the rules of the territory.
Lu Guangyin knew this well, so he tried to use Xi Ruyue’s influence to pave the way for his plan.
If she could be persuaded to stay, it would at least hold off the disgruntled survivors for a while.
Many people may even choose to stay with Xi Ruyue, providing him with valuable space to escape with supplies.
