Chapter 156: Help!
This was not a meeting full of nonsense. At this critical moment of life and death, there are too many things that everyone is eager to report and communicate with.
The first one to speak was the current captain of the town’s defense team:
"The town defense team has sufficient manpower, but the weapons and ammunition cannot keep up. The last time we had the Laughing Monkey incident, we almost ran out of our last ammunition. We no longer have the ability to deal with any medium-sized or larger disasters."
Everyone is well aware of the situation of the town defense team. Even though it is very bad, it can no longer cause too many waves. As soon as he finished speaking, another person spoke.
"The emotions of the townspeople have been calmed down, but I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long. Without water, we can hardly cook food with the existing ingredients. With the entire town shutting down dinner tonight, hunger and thirst will probably intensify explosively. Everyone’s concerns have spread into panic, and we must take further measures!”
Action? What can be done? Can food and drink be made up out of thin air?
The place was quiet, no one could give any advice, and then another person spoke.
"A difficult situation just occurred. A town resident felt sorry for his three-year-old child who kept complaining that he was hungry. He did not obey our water ban notice and fed him a small mouthful. The child had been poisoned and was sent to the mosquito restaurant, but we did not Dare to use black water on children rashly.”
The mayor's brows were almost wrinkled. He had to talk about this matter:
"Have you consulted that doctor?"
The town citizen who spoke nodded: "I asked. His opinion is valid, but the smell of black water may cause irritating respiratory obstruction in young children. He proposed surgery to relieve it, but we dare not decide and are waiting for your instructions. ”
instruct? How do I instruct?
The mayor knocked on his head and waved his hand.
"Let his mother decide for herself, drink black water or have surgery, we have no right to decide this child's future, just like she ignored the water ban."
Then, the restaurant owner spoke:
"Basically all patients who drank sewage during the day have regained their mobility, but we must seize this time to find a solution, otherwise it will be too late after the relief time has passed."
The sky outside the room was so clear, but everyone was breathless. The sewage town has been covered with dark clouds, like a crumbling mist that will shatter at the touch of a touch.
Like that, depressing.
"We have to call for help."
Yes, Sewer Town no longer has the ability to handle this matter on its own, or even the ability to continue to survive.
"The question before us is who to ask for help, how to ask for help, and what price we can pay."
After a brief silence, there were only a few at first, but in the end they all looked at Yelan in unison.
Ye Lan felt a little pressure and glanced at Xu Lezhang. Seeing him shaking his head, Ye Lan immediately said:
"First, I do not represent Glory City, I am just a lone traveler."
"Secondly, based on my understanding of the current state of Glory City, the supplies that can be provided are already at their limit. I am afraid that there is nothing I can do to help the things under the sewage and these patients."
After a while of silence, Ye Lan also gave up everyone's last illusion. In fact, from the beginning, everyone had only two choices - the two orthodox religions.
Soon, one person expressed his thoughts.
"I heard that the Sunset Cult is very professional in handling abnormal events and is a recognized orthodox religion. They have promised to the entire wasteland that when an emergency occurs at a gathering point and the entire town's life is hanging by a thread, they can respond 100%. Of course, the end Later, they will determine whether it is really a life-threatening situation, otherwise they will implement punishment, but I think our current situation will not be able to pass the judgment no matter how harsh it is. "
Before Xia Qingyu could stand up her chest, there were voices of opposition immediately after the meeting:
"But they also have the same strict judgment on people who are affected by abnormalities, and they will clean up places that have a major impact and have great potential for harm. Who knows whether we will be connected to the underwater things by the Afterglow God Cult? Clear?"
His thoughts were clearly echoed by more people.
"That's right, have you forgotten about the Bell of Chaos? Maybe it wouldn't be a big problem without this incident, but with this incident in front of us, how dare we still ask for their assistance?"
The person who asked for help from the Yuhui Cult immediately retorted:
"How big of a deal is that? Even if the Sunset Cult cares about it, why would it implicate people from a small town like us? If it's just to punish the person involved, can't I take it all in?"
Dang Dang Dang.
Someone knocked on the table and said:
"Have you all forgotten that the old doctor said that only the Rotten Cult can solve it?"
This time, more people objected.
"Do you believe in that guy? You're still corrupting the Divine Cult. How notorious are they in the wasteland? How many famous tragedies are inseparable from them? You are trying to lure the wolf into the house!"
"Haha! With your righteous words, haven't you been saved from hell by the method proposed by that doctor? What's so famous and disreputable? None of us have ever seen either of the two major religious sects. Who knows? What’s the truth?”
There was a quarrel at the conference table. Xia Qingyu really wanted to say a few words, but Ye Lan pressed her down.
"alright!"
The mayor patted the table, his face grave.
What a difficult decision this is?
For a moment, he pushed aside everyone and only looked at Ye Lan:
"You know so much, who do you think is more likely to help us?"
Ye Lan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and nodded to Xia Qingyu.
Finally, I can talk!
"The Yuhui Cult has special regulations. In this case, emergency rescue will definitely send people. On the contrary, the Rotten Evil... The Rotten Cult is not the case. They have no experience in rescuing gathering points, let alone experience. Although your situation is complicated, it is far from the point where the Yuhui Cult will implement the elimination plan. You don't understand how cumbersome and rigorous the process is."
Ye Lan kicked her chair lightly, feeling a little helpless.
Restore history, brother! Do you still want to go back?
Xia Qingyu's brain was blacked out for a moment, and he paused.
"... But there is no guarantee that it will not happen 100%."
The mayor fell into silence, looked at Xia Qingyu deeply, and slowly said: "I only have one question."
"If everyone is willing to help us, who is 100% sure to solve the underwater problem."
Xia Qingyu opened her mouth slightly.
That is the smell of decay... their signature skill.
"…Rotten."
The mayor nodded, having made up his mind. He looked at Ye Lan, who shook his head directly.
"This is your future, you decide for yourself, don't ask me."
The mayor leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes with difficulty.
Then, he suddenly opened his eyes with determination.
"I declare that Sewage Town will immediately and formally request assistance from the Rotten Cult. All departments are requested to do their best to ensure security and reception!"
"Mayor..."
"Okay, I've made up my mind." He said, "Whatever they want, I'll give it. As long as they preserve the heritage of our Sewage Town and our women and children, even if they want my life, what does it matter? Even if Sewage Town belongs to Rot from now on, what does it matter?"
"We are just an ordinary town, everyone." He closed his eyes and opened his mouth, which was so dry that it had cracked and bled: "We have done our best to get to where we are today."
