Chapter 701 The Wind and Clouds Are Rolling, and the Attention From the Inspection Team Is Coming!
"So this is the situation. We came here tonight just to inform you to be prepared. If you have other opinions, just go to the corresponding chamber of commerce in the city to report it."
"In addition, our inspection team also monitors the corresponding responsible managers at the same time. If you encounter a bad attitude or other emergencies when you make your opinions, you can also come to us to report it, and we will deal with it immediately."
"Do you understand?"
After conveying all the information on the note, the uniformed man in the lead quickly made a summary with an extremely friendly attitude.
After all, they also have a lot of opinions about this summer harvest that started and ended early, but they are not worth telling to outsiders.
"I understand, I understand!"
Standing up, Zhang Bowen had a blank expression on his face, and kept greeting the three people all the way out of Liangfang.
Until he came back and sat next to Su Mo, he angrily punched the table with a loud bang.
It rains all night when it leaks.
When the inspection team came in the morning, the Zhang family thought that Qiankun Grain Store was behind the scenes, trying to kill people with a borrowed knife and put Zizailiangfang in an irreparable situation.
But the performance of the inspection team tonight was not something that a small Qiankun Grain Store could invite. It was clearly
"Teacher, it seems that the next disaster will break out during the summer harvest, and the magnitude should be quite large!"
After being influenced by what they saw and heard, disasters are basically the same as eating and drinking for people in the wasteland.
From the elderly to children, from scavengers to the head of a city.
Nine years is enough for everyone to be familiar with disasters and get used to them!
Moreover, as the territory becomes stronger and stronger, the population gathered is increasing, and the rules of disasters have also changed dramatically.
In the past, every human 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.
Ordinary people want to know about disasters, either through territory notification or three days before the disaster.
At other times, there is absolutely no other channel!
"Hurry up and develop the tools. Since there is a disaster, we can only listen to fate and do our best."
Not sure if it was because of his arrival that the disaster suddenly fell.
Looking at Zhang Bowen, who was completely confused, Su Mo could only comfort him for a while.
After a while, seeing that Zhang Bowen's mood had stabilized a little, Su Mo no longer had the intention to go back to work. He just hurried to the workshop to clean up for a while and then announced that he was off work.
"Brother Su, what did the inspection team just call you over to say?"
"They are a bunch of bastards who only know how to oppress ordinary people like us every day. It turns out that the interests of those rich people are interests, and the interests of us poor people are not taken seriously, right?"
After leaving the Liangfang gate and on the way home, Sun Quan looked around for a while, and finally couldn't help his curiosity.
After spending a long time together, his nature gradually exposed.
His sense of security is extremely low. Unless he trusts someone at first sight, he needs to get familiar with others for a year or two before he will gradually open his heart.
He didn't trust the management level of the territory at all. If he found a loophole in the management, he would talk about it like an old lady's foot binding.
In addition, he often complained about the unfairness of the territory system and was pessimistic about the future development of the territory.
These things that ordinary people can't see were basically seen through by Su Mo.
So now, Sun Quan didn't plan to pretend.
"It should be a disaster of a large scale. It is estimated that the time should be after June 25th and before July 1st."
"The inspection team came to request that the summer harvest time be advanced to the 15th, and the time is shortened to ten days."
"What? Only ten days for summer harvest?"
Sun Quan was obviously startled, and his footsteps were also weak, and he stepped hard in the puddle next to him.
Splash!
The accumulated water rose, and the ripples on it were just like Sun Quan's current mentality.
Explosion!
Spread!
Difficult to recover!
You know, the two seemingly light "small words" of summer harvest are far more than just the small Sangtian Town, and are not limited to the seemingly huge Tianyuan Territory.
Looking at the entire wasteland continent, summer harvest is almost a feast for the whole people.
The only difference is the size of the area and the variety of plants.
Once a disaster breaks out during the summer harvest period, it will happen to affect these thriving food crops.
Then
"Food disaster, food disaster is going to break out again!"
Looking at the darkness behind him, Sun Quan seemed to think of something difficult in the past, and his face turned pale.
In the eight years of wasteland, it seems that nothing major has happened in the meantime.
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.
And this has already counted all the people between the ages of 60 and 10 who have come to the present!
Of course, some of them did die in battles with aliens, in complex disasters, and in ever-changing invisible dangers.
But there is no doubt that food disasters are always the culprit that seems insignificant but is actually almost "fully responsible".
"Brother Su, it's bad, it's really bad this time!"
"Last year, Wuya Prefecture wanted to lower the price of wheat and stockpile resources to enhance disaster resistance, but at that time, in order to stabilize the price of food, our territory sold a large amount of stockpiled food 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 fails to deliver grain"
"How about we stock up on grain?"
Having no food is no longer a question of quality of life, but a question of survival.
Even with the risk of the inspection team, Sun Quan is willing to take the risk, which shows that the surviving humans in the wasteland are really afraid of starvation.
"Stock up. Since they have done so much, there must be many people who can guess that the disaster is about to come. As long as we don't stock up too much, there should be no problem."
Walking around a corner, the small shops in front that are rarely visited on weekdays have already formed long queues.
Seeing that many people are buying bags of flour and rice, Su Mo nodded silently and simply joined the team with Sun Quan.
After a long while, the team kept moving forward, and it was finally their turn.
Su Mo could see clearly that a wooden sign had been erected in front of the store, with black brush writing on it:
The maximum purchase of grain by an individual is 30kg.
The price of each kg of grain is 1 trading point (no yuan coins are accepted for the time being).
Based on the extent to which the handwriting was washed away by the splashing rain, it can be roughly judged that this wooden sign had been written and dried yesterday, or even the day before yesterday.
It was only put out this afternoon when there were signs of panic buying.
In addition, the price of grain also rose quietly, by about 30%.
It was Sima Zhao's intention, and everyone knew it.
"What do you want, flour or rice?"
"Flour!"
Opening the game panel and connecting with the salesman, Su Mo transferred 30 trading points.
He successfully got a bag of flour with a relatively complete package and solid weight.
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 his physical fitness is not good enough or he has a big problem with the purchase limit.
After walking a few steps, Sun Quan grimaced.
"Okay, I'll help you."
"Exercise more. If things get really chaotic, even if you store food, you will probably be used as a granary."
After walking less than 50 meters, Sun Quan said he wanted to take a break.
Seeing this, Su Mo had no choice but to walk over, pick up the bag, and put it on his other shoulder.
"Fuck!"
"Brother Su, you are so strong!"
Seeing Su Mo carrying two big bags by himself, he could still walk briskly.
Sun Quan wiped his eyes with an unbelievable look on his face.
At that time, among all the interviewers, the biggest reason why he was willing to contact Su Mo was because from the outside, the two of them were almost the same size and similar in height.
Because of the weak joining forces, he showed great favor.
But now, looking at the physical fitness shown by Su Mo.
When he realized that Su Mo had walked more than ten meters, Sun Quan screamed and hurried to catch up.
"Damn, I said we two weaklings should join forces, but Brother Su, you are so strong!"
"It turns out that I finally got the upper hand!"
Curious, he touched the bulging muscles on Su Mo's arm and felt the strong tension brought by the muscle fibers.
Sun Quan was inexplicably excited, which made Su Mo shudder.
"Go away, don't disgust me"
"Also, since they don't accept Yuan coins, try to use the Yuan coins you have saved in the next two days"
"Don't let it depreciate by then, it will be a big loss!"
"I know that" Sun Quan nodded, and his attitude was much better than before.
Not long after, they finally reached the place where they usually separated.
With the idea of sending Buddha to the west, Su Mo simply continued to carry the bag and followed Sun Quan to where he lived.
An unfinished building hidden in the alley.
This building was originally designed to have four floors, but for some reason, only the first and second floors can be used now.
After going up to the third floor, there were broken windows everywhere.
"You didn't want me to live there before?"
Pointing at the third floor, he looked at Sun Quan with a smirk on his face, picking up the rice bag and running away.
Su Mo touched his nose and shook his head as he walked towards Gutian Third Street.
When he looked inside the alley before, the street where Sun Quan lived was still popular.
But now, compared with the lively Gutian Third Street, his place seems quite deserted.
"If things really get chaotic in a few days, let Sun Quan live here."
Near the alley, looking at the dim light rising from the second floor of the unfinished building, Su Mo settled down and stopped hesitating.
Five days are enough for him to see a person clearly.
Fundamentally speaking, Sun Quan's character has surpassed most people in the wasteland.
Including his behavior, although a little selfish, it is also human nature.
It is destined to leave this relic, just like leaving a hidden hand in the deep sea world.
This time, Su Mo naturally doesn't want to leave so lightly.
He not only had to do something as he had discussed with Sea God Jiang Chu last time.
He also had to use some special means to test the bottom line of the game and the real reason for its formation.
And Sun Quan had the potential to become one of them.
While thinking, he crossed the alley.
With the nourishment of authority, the body of "Su Youzong" had become a little stronger than when he crossed over.
Until Su Mo jumped down from a high wall as light as a swallow.
The courtyard was in front of him.
On the evening of June 6, the rain curtain finally faded away with the cumulus clouds, and gradually became smaller until it disappeared.
Following the intricate drainage pipes of Hope City, the accumulated water burst out like a giant dragon and merged into a river surrounding the area.
On both sides of the river bank, there were solid soil and rocks.
At this time, as several black uniformed personnel came over, a piece of soil and rock moved slightly, revealing an entrance to the bottom.
It seemed that they had been familiar with the way of entry for a long time, and the three people were not surprised and quickly jumped down along the exposed hole.
In less than a minute or two, after passing through the intricate tunnels, the three people finally arrived at the end of this trip.
Tianyuan Territory, the inspection center of the whole territory.
This is a sign engraved on a thick iron door.
Next to the iron door, there is an instrument responsible for identity verification, which is emitting a long blue light.
Seeing this, the black-clothed man in the lead took off his mask and quickly verified his identity.
Not long after, accompanied by a rapid beeping sound, the door began to slowly open, revealing the true face of the Lushan Mountain 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, with only simple signs as a guide.
From top to bottom, the top of the cave is inlaid with hundreds of fist-sized spotlights, which are emitting bright light, illuminating the interior like daylight.
Just from the ground to the underground, it is like entering a science fiction world.
Countless instruments that look extremely exquisite are neatly arranged inside the cave at this moment, revealing a straight passage.
The indicator lights that shine in harmony with each other flash with the breathing of the people inside, which is very rhythmic.
But the most eye-catching thing is the giant screen hanging in the front of the cave.
Identify it carefully.
This giant screen, which is as long and wide as 15 meters, is actually divided into hundreds of parts, showing the surveillance camera images of Hope City and even the surrounding areas in real time.
From time to time, some images were slightly enlarged and then quickly shrunk.
In the images, all objects were ordinary.
Only the pedestrians who passed by were marked with various colors.
Eye-catching red, dazzling yellow, harmonious green, gray purple, and meaningless black.
"Captain, Captain!"
"Oh, let's go"
The entrance door had already been opened, but the captain in black was a little stunned when he looked at the giant screen.
It was not until his subordinates called him a few times that he suddenly came to his senses and hurriedly 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 "Threat Identification Office".
There were not many people in this area, only about thirty people.
But on the contrary, there were quite a few computers that could be controlled here, as many as hundreds of them.
"Hey, Captain Yu is here"
"What's the matter, any new discoveries?"
It seemed that many of the staff present were familiar with the captain in black.
As soon as he appeared, a thin man came up to talk with a smile.
"Well, I suddenly met a very interesting person today"
"I want to see his movement trajectory"
Yu Zhou did not hide the purpose of his visit. He smiled and quickly sat down to operate.
The other idle staff members heard this and couldn't help but come over.
"Captain Yu has a sharp eye. Who can escape his eyes from those traitors who sneak into our territory?"
"That's right. I still remember that last time there was a small team that wanted to come into our territory to steal the energy stone technology. As a result, they were caught just by meeting Captain Yu on the street."
"In my opinion, if Captain Yu was not in our inspection team, but in the city's security team, how could he still be the captain now?"
"What's the use of the security team? When they see our inspection team, they will be weak in the legs?"
"Haha, don't brag in front of Captain Yu. This is like showing off in front of Guan Gong. Hurry up and watch Captain Yu operate!"
It is always human nature to watch the fun.
As Yu Zhou was operating, the search interface on the computer opened. Everyone stopped chatting and began to concentrate.
