Chapter 670: Supplies are Hope
Chapter 670: Supplies are Hope
Ming Jiao's opening words stunned everyone in the square.
In the confused eyes of everyone, Ming Jiao scratched his head and laughed dryly twice, explaining:
"Sorry, sorry, I haven't been to school formally, so I don't know all the words. Is there anyone willing to come and help me?"
The people in the square looked at each other with some fear.
After all, the one in front of him was a Sarkaz. If he walked over rashly, would he be slaughtered on the spot, skinned, gutted, and put into a pot to eat the meat?
But after hesitating for a moment, looking at Mingjiao's shy smile with a bit of timidity, people became tempted again.
No matter how you look at her, she looks like an ordinary girl that can be found anywhere, and she has none of the ferocious and terrifying temperament of the rumored Sarkaz.
"Well...why don't you let me do it? I'm a scholar."
Among the crowd, the man in formal attire was the first to raise his hand.
He had come into contact with Qi Yan and had a vague feeling that Qi Yan was not a bloodthirsty person. These might all be situations that Qi Yan deliberately caused.
Ming Jiao immediately smiled brightly and ran over to hand him the list:
"Thank you, uncle."
"No, you're welcome."
The man in the suit smiled, then, led by Ming Jiao, walked to the middle of the Sarkaz team, took a deep breath, and began to distribute supplies according to the list.
A Victorian scholar, in a venue managed by the Sarkaz, distributes hope for people's survival in an orderly manner to the residents of Victoria and all the Sarkaz present, in full accordance with the established rules.
This scene is harmonious yet also full of weirdness.
This emotion reached its peak when food and medicine actually fell into people's hands.
The Sarkaz who was in charge of distributing the tasks took the initiative to pat the person in front of him on the shoulder and chuckled:
"This is what you deserve."
"I...I...thank you."
The man who received the food had a trembling voice and moved away with the food.
At first, he subconsciously wanted to hide the food in his hands. The experience of hiding these days made him dare not expose the existence of any supplies.
But soon, he realized that he no longer needed to worry.
Everyone had food, the injured were given life-saving medicines, and even the elderly who were unable to work were given the minimum survival supplies.
People found an open space in the square to sit down and eat the food they earned through their own labor, bite by bite.
They didn't need to snatch food from others because their own food was enough to fill their stomachs. Some talkative people had already subconsciously started chatting with the people around them while eating.
Listening to the laughter and chatter slowly spreading around him, the man, who had received enough food to fill his stomach for the first time in many days, actually choked a little as he swallowed the food.
"Brother, it's easy to choke if you cry while eating."
A young voice came from behind the man, and then a white-haired Rupert boy sat directly next to him.
"I just couldn't control myself." The man smiled, his voice still trembling. "I thought I was going to die after being caught by the Sarkaz, but I didn't expect that I would end up living a better life than before."
"Are you touched already?" Rupert said with a smile, "There are still many good days ahead."
The man swallowed a mouthful of food, nodded vigorously, and then suddenly noticed the canned meat and beer in the hands of the Rupert boy.
He couldn't help but feel a little surprised and asked:
"Little brother, what task did you do today that you have wine to drink? Can you tell me about it?"
"I didn't work."
"?"
The man was stunned: "Where did you get this food?"
Qi Yan smiled and shook the beer:
"I found it directly from the large warehouse where the Sarkaz stored their supplies."
"How dare you be so brave, and..."
The man's voice was a little higher, but he immediately reacted and lowered his voice again: "According to the rules of the Sarkaz, these foods are distributed according to work. What you are doing is against the rules, you..."
“Your eating here is different from my eating here.”
Qi Yan waved his hand to interrupt the man.
Under the man's puzzled gaze, Qi Yan smiled and pointed at himself: "You have to help me work when you eat, but I don't have to work when I eat."
man:?
"Qi Yan, aren't you afraid of ruining the order you have worked so hard to establish by doing this?"
Dai Feien's voice came from behind the man and Qi Yan.
She and Baird were holding the food allocated to them. They saw Qi Yan from afar. They walked over subconsciously and heard Qi Yan playing tricks on them.
Qi Yan smiled and moved his butt to make room for the two girls:
"How's Kador?"
Baird explained: "Mr. 'Next Academician' is taking care of him. His injuries are not serious. He even continued to work today."
Daphne was still obsessed with the question just now:
"Didn't you say that even if the king of heaven came, he would still have to work to eat?"
"Even the king of heaven is just a younger brother to me." Qi Yan raised his head and took a sip of beer, saying comfortably, "And do you think that I am not qualified to eat because I don't work?
Who do you think guarantees the basis for the implementation of these orders? Just like the Sarkaz are responsible for supervision, which is also considered labor, I, Qi Yan, am responsible for guarding this plot of land, which is also labor. "
Dai Feien still felt resentful towards Qi Yan for emptying his beloved warehouse, but he couldn't argue with this guy, so he turned around angrily and concentrated on the food in his hands.
Baird rubbed Dai Feien's head and said to Qi Yan with a smile:
"Yes, the current peaceful situation can be achieved and will hopefully continue because you are the one who has paid the most."
"Praise me a few more times. I'd love to hear it." Qi Yan narrowed his eyes with joy.
The man next to them was so shocked listening to the conversation between the three people that he forgot to put food into his mouth.
Baird smiled, but did not agree with Qi Yan's intention. Instead, his tone became serious:
“But have you ever thought that the Norbert District is isolated and helpless, and the food will run out one day?
My suggestion is not to be satisfied with the current situation, but to find a way to send the Norbert District back to Londinium immediately. Even if it is just to stop outside the city, it is better than staying in this wilderness."
"Guess why the Sarkaz suddenly sent Norbert District out."
"I can not guess it."
Baird readily admits his shortcomings.
Qi Yan did not mock her and explained:
"I am partly to blame for this, but the main reason is that Mr. Dat has already prepared for war. This plot of land is the bait he is using to lure the Duke's forces closer while he is officially declaring war on Victoria with bloodshed."
"Shouldn't we hurry up and transfer the Norbert District?!" Baird was shocked.
"Where to transfer it?" Qi Yan asked back, "If it is sent back to Londinium Sakaz will definitely be stopped. If it is sent to the hands of the major dukes, who do you think would be willing to take over such a big burden before the war?
The Norbert District is a discarded pawn. The moment it leaves Londinium, it is destined to become an individual excluded by all forces. No matter where it goes, it will immediately face a catastrophic disaster, either covertly or blatantly. "
Baird fell silent.
Dai Feien turned her head slowly. She had obviously realized something, and her pupils suddenly shrank into a point.
'The day she arrives is the day her death is near.'
Qi Yan's words echoed in Dai Finn's ears again.
