Chapter 272 When the Drizzle Falls

In the early morning on the outskirts of Tiandou City, the slightly cool air was filled with a moist atmosphere, and the drizzle was intertwined like threads, gently falling on the sleeping earth.

The faint burnt smell seemed to be a clue to an unpublished story last night, whispering of a fiery catastrophe in the middle of the night.

In this fertile field, the hard-working Tiandou City farmers stared at the gloomy clouds coming from behind the ridge with some joy. Their expressions were relaxed, and they secretly prayed in their hearts that the rain would only fall slightly during the upcoming grain-filling period. For a few days.

Because in the near future it will be the critical season before the autumn harvest. Appropriate rainfall can nourish the land, but if they encounter several consecutive autumn rains, then the results of their hard work all year round may be in vain.

In this atmosphere of expectation and worry, an unexpected picture gradually emerged

: Huge grain trucks loaded with grain slowly drove out from the depths of the dense forest in the distance. The convoy stretched like a long queue, and its tail disappeared from sight.

These vehicles left deep marks on the slippery ground, like imprints of history, and marched firmly in the direction of Tiandou City.

The majestic white door of Doucheng that day was like a huge swallowing mouth at this moment, greedily accepting the precious food from the warehouse outside the city.

Although the raging fire last night ruthlessly devoured nearly 80% of the reserves of those hoarding merchants, the sudden rain in the middle of the night changed the situation.

The rain reduced the intensity of the fire and more than 20% of the food was rescued from the flames by heroic people.

In order to return this batch of surviving food to the city as soon as possible, personnel at all levels in Tiandou City mobilized almost all their vehicles and horses. After some arduous efforts, they finally completed this arduous task.

Car after car of grain passed through the main gate solemnly and orderly and drove into the embrace of the city.

Citizens from every household witnessed this scene. They poked their heads out of the windows or doorways, and the joy and comfort in their eyes could not be concealed.

These grains are like ballast stones that stabilize the ship's hull, gradually calming people's hearts that were originally frightened by the disaster.

At the same time, Yan Sansi and other members of the Blade Team were also busy and efficiently compiled a detailed report of last night's incident and quickly submitted it to the relevant officials.

This report, soaked in iron and blood, lay quietly on Qian Renxue's desk in no more than a quarter of an hour, waiting for her review and decision-making.

When Qian Renxue picked up the report, her deep eyes roamed carefully on the page.

After a long sigh, she felt that the tense nerves could finally be relieved.

In the past days, accurate statistics based on the 01 intelligent system showed that the food reserves in the empire could not meet everyone's basic needs.

Now those private grain reserves scattered among the people and not yet included in the statistics have become a key part of reversing the situation.

Qian Renxue signed her name decisively, and as her ink pen fell, a brand new policy document was quickly conveyed to every relevant corner.

Everyone who received this document, whether they were Wuhundian personnel or imperial officials, could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. The haze of the food crisis that had lasted for more than a month seemed to be dissipating with the wind.

Despite this, key facilities such as granaries and markets throughout the Tiandou Empire are still on high alert, and a large number of personnel are on duty day and night to prevent any possible accidents.

At this moment, everyone in the city is eagerly looking forward to the autumn grain harvest. It seems that only when the golden rice is piled up in the warehouse, all the crises will truly come to an end.

The cold wind from the north blows from the depths of the snowfield, carrying fine raindrops all the way south, passing through the mountains and ridges, and arriving at the fertile Lima Plain.

At this time, autumn is in full swing, and pale yellow rice flowers are blooming in the green wheat fields. This is an unexpected surprise.

These rice flowers are like stars dotting the fields, lying quietly among the green rice leaves. Their petals are as thin as cicada wings, revealing a fresh and elegant green tone, just like the flowers carved by nature with endless ingenuity. Jade bead necklace.

The breeze blows, the drizzle is swaying, and the rice flowers sway gently, just like shy and elegant girls, dancing lightly in the wind and rain, telling the poetry and life of nature with their slender figures and soft curves. The vitality of breath.

In this peaceful and expectant autumn harvest atmosphere, almost all people's attention is attracted by the rice fields about to be harvested and the hope for the future.

However, beneath this peaceful scene, a subtle turning point is quietly brewing.

What didn't arouse anyone's alert was that some strange figures wearing coir raincoats began to appear quietly at the edges of fields in the Lima Plain. They were like unexpected dark brushstrokes on the canvas, breaking the originally harmonious picture.

These strangers are mysterious and taciturn. Their appearance is like sudden ripples on a calm lake, indicating that an unknown force or ominous change is approaching.

——

Under the soft light, Dean Flanders' focused eyes were fixed on the biological bracelet in his hand. The light screen on it reflected the map of the border mountains on the south bank of the Barak Mother River, with a trajectory connected by red dots. Point in that direction.

He did not summon his companions to keep Ross at that time, not because he was overconfident in his own strength, but because he used his superb secret art of fingertip dancing to cleverly attach a biological bracelet to Ross without leaving any trace.

For Flanders, who had once struggled on the streets and had both wisdom and means, performing such a hidden method was just like a daily routine.

Thanks to the blue silver grass detection network laid by Muzhe throughout the Douluo Continent, this seemingly ordinary bracelet has now become a sharp blade that pierces the heart of the enemy's nest.

At this time, Qin Ming received news from the Tiandou Empire that as the food problem was solved, the empire was able to spare its energy to deal with those forces that were secretly working.

It is expected that in a month, when all the new grain is safely stored, a large-scale action will be taken to settle accounts.

However, Flanders has always been a man who will avenge his grudges and act decisively, and he will never allow himself to wait that long.

Although he knew that his personal force was not enough to confront the huge opponent head-on, he did not sit and wait for death.

In addition to digging deep into intelligence, Flanders is also secretly planning a bigger chess game, intending to use the power of others to fight against them.

To this end, his plan includes pulling some very powerful people into this dispute

-such as the solitary Title Douluo "Poison Douluo" Dugu Bo, who is good at using poison, and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, which has a deep foundation despite suffering heavy losses.

Through clever layout, Flanders hopes to use these powerful forces to jointly fight against the mastermind behind the scenes who threatens the peace and stability of the continent.
