Chapter 656: Slaughtering the City, Part 2
This sudden charity relief is really unexpected. But in the end, some people couldn't stand the 'temptation', and some people came over. It's easy to say that there are leaders, and gradually there are more and more people.
By the evening, more than 20,000 people had gathered here, but they were all ordinary people at the Qi refining stage and below.
Of course, it is difficult to screen out whether there are people who joined the army or not.
Li Shu stood on the platform of the train and scanned the relief point. The more than 500 people from the Dayang Group were already overwhelmed, and half of the food they brought had been exhausted. But in the face of more and more refugees, it is still a drop in the bucket.
Fortunately, the personnel said that it would be good to directly select talented people from among the refugees to take charge. But food cannot appear out of thin air.
The country of Canglan is now in a state after the country is destroyed, and even the rich can't buy food; the Dayang Group can't grab it, and can only urgently transport it from the country of Qixia, and these can only be paid by the Dayang Group.
Fortunately, food prices are cheap here in Qixia Country. Ordinary brown rice is about two yuan and five catties, and a piece of low-grade spirit stone can buy 250 catties, which is enough to provide basic security for 200 people for a day.
It's just not an option to keep it like this all the time.
Li Shu frowned slightly, and she took out a notebook, which included some suggestions from Zhang Hao, as well as her own summed up ideas, and of course, some rescue methods implemented by various countries before. Especially the method in the process of rebuilding Qixia Kingdom is the most classic - it is said that it also came from Zhang Hao.
The reconstruction of the Qixia Kingdom is a typical example of labor for relief; but now it is a foreign country, how to "work"? Is it possible to use the wealth of Dayang Group to help others rebuild?
We are here to help, and to put it bluntly, we are here to gain favor, not to rebuild for others in a stupid way!
After thinking about it, Li Shu crossed out this item.
The second good option is to replant food. But the land issue is very complicated, which involves too many levels and interests. Especially, it often takes half a year or even longer for grain to mature. Obviously, Dayang Group will not wait for such a long time.
The third option is to rebuild the factory, etc., but this is obviously even more unwise. We are only here to gain favor, not to really use our own money to help others resume production!
Li Shu crossed it out again.
In the end, Li Shu went through all his ideas, combined with the situation on the spot, and finally chose a method: mining and logging!
The Dayang Group needs mineral resources, and the Xuanzhen Sect needs to resettle the rebels and also needs mineral resources. The Xuanzhen Sect, which is at war, needs more resources. But now there is a layer of hatred between the Xuanzhen Sect and the refugees, and it is difficult to drive the refugees.
It just so happened that Dayang Group assumed the role of the middleman.
After a brief conversation between Li Shu and Zheng Binzi, the two sides reported to the rear via telegram, and it was confirmed.
Li Shu took the refugees to mines for mining, including iron ore, copper ore, coal, dragon blood stone, sulfur, and of course logging and burning charcoal. Dayang Group took one-fifth of it as "sustainable development funds" for charitable relief, and handed over the remaining eighth to Xuanzhen Sect.
The Dayang Group helped to stabilize the people and took care of the common people. The Xuanzhen Sect also got benefits, and it didn't need to be distracted to suppress the rebellion among the people.
Charity relief should not be decided on the head, otherwise it will lead to greater casualties. Really effective charitable relief must be adjusted in light of the actual situation and supported by the authorities.
Li Shu's proposal was very good, the two sides hit it off!
When the sun was completely below the horizon, Li Shu received a telegram from Zhang Hao: Well done! Even better than I thought, perfectly interpreting the role of 'neutral'!
Leaving the matter of charity relief to the secretary, Li Shu finally had time to enter Guijiang City. He hadn't stepped into the city wall yet, but only ten kilometers away from the outer city, Li Shu's expression changed. There are dead bodies everywhere!
Massacre is not empty talk. With the status of Xuanzhen Sect, either you don't say it, or you must do it if you say it. The four words 'You have no jokes' are basically suitable for every high-ranking decision-maker.
Those who massacre the city mainly target nobles, officials, and the army, as long as they have anything to do with politics, they are all within the scope of the massacre.
Of course, it also includes businessmen, big and small, and capitalists who have recently risen—these are all fat sheep! Especially the factories in the hands of capitalists, etc., are even more coveted by Xuanzhen Sect.
The Xuanzhen Sect is like this, and the two younger brothers who follow Xuanzhen Sect: the Kingdom of Taihua and the Kingdom of Qingyun are even more unscrupulous. They not only slaughtered the city, but also scraped the ground.
Li Shu even saw soldiers blowing down buildings and extracting steel bars and some formation materials from them. These things are very precious. Steel bars can be directly used as fortifications, and some formation materials can be directly made into magic weapons, and some can be recycled.
Li Shu also saw that someone had quietly dug out the golden pill from Jin Danqi's body and quietly hid it - this is of course to be criticized, but it must also be admitted that the golden pill of a cultivator is a kind of magic pill that is more powerful than the demon pill. Excellent 'herbs'! And this is the easiest 'medicine' to obtain in the war! In addition, there are the hearts of practitioners and so on.
There are other kinds of sins, too.
War has pushed crime into the abyss!
Such words suddenly appeared in Li Shu's mind, which were said by Zhang Hao, but at that time Li Shu felt that this was a wrong sentence, there is no abyss in crime. But seeing the current scene, Li Shu suddenly understood:
Evil, indeed, has an abyss, that is: Evil!
Crime is a negative characteristic of human beings. The so-called "sin" is still within the scope of legal and moral descriptions; but evil can no longer be called human beings! Existing laws and current morality cannot describe 'evil'.
Zheng Binzi who was following Li Shu naturally saw it too, but turned a blind eye.
Li Shu couldn't help but asked, "Aren't you going to stop it?"
Zheng Binzi hesitated before saying, "We were not the first to do this."
After a short pause, he continued: "People in Dayang Group can't feel the lack of external resources. I only see various problems published in your newspapers, but you live in a rich environment. And the outside world, The scarcity and scarcity of resources are... far from being able to meet the needs of normal practice, let alone the needs of war!"
Li Shu felt his heart twitch suddenly, and couldn't help asking, "Where are those Nascent Soul Stages and Transformation Stages who died in battle?"
Zheng Binzi's tone was low: "Their flesh and blood will be refined into essence, then diluted with common medicinal materials, and then refined into high-level Peiyuan Dan, Zhenyuan Dan, etc., which will be taken by troops at the foundation stage and below.
Their Nascent Soul, inner alchemy of golden masters, etc., will be refined into pills to promote practice, and given to those above the golden alchemy realm.
Their ashes will be sprinkled in the spiritual field to cultivate elixir and so on. "
Li Shu's complexion was already pale, and his steps trembled a little. Although she is currently in the stage of becoming a god, she is still petrified by the cruelty of the war.
The current war has only been going on for a few days!
If this fight continues for a long time, can it still eat people directly?
Li Shu shuddered at the thought of the "world-class war" predicted by Zhang Hao for at least five years. Knowing this moment, Li Shu suddenly understood why Zhang Hao insisted on carrying out charity relief. Just to keep the glimmer of light that belongs to human civilization! Keep that flame of civilization alive!
Li Shu stopped talking, and as she stepped into the inner city, she even became a little numb.
Three days have passed, but there are still people in the city who cannot escape dying.
The five bunker-like buildings in front are resisting. However, the Xuanzhen Sect's army did not fight head-on at all, but covered it with artillery at a distance of one kilometer. Within a kilometer around, all the buildings have long been bulldozed.
The building is five bold buildings with a height of 30 meters, forming a five-element defensive formation. But at this time, the barrier outside was full of cracks and holes, and the self-repair speed of the barrier could no longer keep up with the attack speed of the shells. Occasionally, shells fell into the building, bringing desperate screams.
Suddenly, three of the Xuanzhen Sect's late-stage Huashen masters who had mastered supernatural powers rushed into the hole made by the shell and entered the barrier. After these masters entered, they immediately began to destroy the foundation of the formation. A master in the building came out to block it, but five of them were beheaded in an instant!
Then the enchantment shook a few times and shattered.
The masters who were around tens of thousands of infants and above rushed in. After a while, a few generals flew away laughing wildly with the screaming, naked women on their shoulders.
"This is the 'Sea King's Mansion' of the Land of Canglan. Sea King is the younger brother of the Great Emperor of the Land of Canglan. When the whole city retreated, he vowed to fight to the death. Those women include maids, concubines, princesses, And the wives and concubines of the guards and generals in Haiwang's mansion."
Just as he was talking, Haiwang Mansion suddenly jumped upwards, and the next moment a crazy flame rose into the sky, Haiwang Mansion shattered like a bubble, and the flame quickly evolved into a mushroom cloud; the crazy shock wave exploded, and the people who rushed into Haiwang Mansion Tens of thousands of infants, as well as dozens of people who were transformed into gods, were torn apart in the crazy explosions and shock waves...
Li Shu looked at it stupidly. She had participated in wars, such as the coastal war four years ago. But she had never been in close contact with such a brutal war.
The human body is like an egg, shattering in mid-air. The crazy shock wave sweeps around at four to five times the speed of sound. The ground undulates like waves. Within one kilometer, the remaining buildings and so on are broken like yellow sand.
Li Shu and Zheng Binzi retreated crazily, still being swept by the shock wave, Li Shu felt as if he was hanged inside his body, and spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Of course, the stage of transformation into a god is powerful. However, the power of hundreds of thousands of tons of explosive explosions is not a child's play!
Based on his own experience, Li Shu roughly estimated the power of the explosion. It would take more than 2,000 tons of primary explosives to achieve such an effect!
What the outside world can configure is primary spiritual gunpowder; golden explosives are still the unique technology and patented technology of Dayang Group.
Li Shu leaned on a twisted light pole that was pierced by shells, and looked at the mushroom cloud in front of him that quickly became hideous, and lost the ability to think for a while.
It wasn't until this moment that the thunder of the explosion rolled in, and the sky and the ground began to tremble.
