our family is gone

Chapter 324 Cruel Capital

Lance cut open the disabled pig's body, and found something strange. The human-pig fusion distorted its body, but also gave birth to a strange structure.

The stomach pouch was so tough with a layer of mucus that even a dagger couldn't cut it open, so it could only be burned with a torch. A foul-smelling white smoke rose immediately, but the mucus was quickly burned away.

When you cut it open, you can see that it is full of various garbage soaked in gastric juice. It can be seen that its recipe is very messy. Most of it has been turned into gastric juice and it is difficult to distinguish, leaving only hair and bones that have not been fully digested.

But what is even more concerning is that after the gastric juice flowed out, even the pork itself could not withstand it, and there were signs of corrosion.

"See? That's why I asked Disma to destroy it first. The structure of this monster's esophagus and stomach pouch is different from that of ordinary people or ordinary pigs. They don't even need to get close to it. Gastric juices of all kinds of viruses are spit on you."

Lance's words made everyone sick, after all, no one wanted to spit that disgusting thing on themselves.

"How does Boss know?"

Boudica suddenly asked a question, which immediately made others curious.

It should be the first time for everyone to see this kind of monster, even Tardif who has been in contact with pigmen before, so how do you know?
"When facing a monster you have never seen before, you must first be vigilant, and then guess the monster's possible attack methods and special abilities based on its appearance."

Lance was not afraid, and explained casually.

"First of all, these monsters appeared together. The first two can know the general attack method at a glance with weapons, but I feel something is wrong when they appear.

Because why would such a deformed cripple who couldn't even walk and could only rely on his arms to climb on the ground dare to come over and scream so loudly?

Look at the atrophy of the lower limbs and can only move with both arms. Basically, the usual attack methods are unrealistic. At most, it will crawl over and grab you and bite you.

Similarly, I found that this guy is actually quite flexible, and the speed of his activities is not slow at all, but the problem is that it falls at the end, which is enough to arouse my vigilance, its attack must be able to cross this distance, otherwise it should be the first One climbed up.

I wasn't sure at the time, but no matter how you say it, uncertainty is the greatest danger, so I let Disma kill first. I would rather guess wrong than gamble with everyone's life. "

As he spoke, Lance fiddled with the mouth of the disabled pig with his dagger.

"The esophagus and digestive system have a special structure and are protected by mucus so they won't be corroded. But when you look around the pig's mouth, there are obvious signs of corrosion. I'm afraid this can only be done if you have been in contact with it for a long time. Seeing this, I probably guessed the disabled pig. way of attack."

A complete set of reasoning directly overloaded Boudica's brain, but she didn't bother to think about it, shaking her head.

"Let's go, there are probably many such enemies. Next time, you can pay attention to it. If you encounter enemies you don't know, it's best to kill them first, and don't let them go."

Lance didn't pay attention to this, and raised his hand to perform [sacrifice] on these corpses.

The void devoured the corpse, leaving only those messy things, but the spirituality returned was more than that of ordinary ascension believers.

It really deserves to be an extraordinary race created by the ancestors with all kinds of weird rituals, pigs are "fat".

Originally, the environment here made him disgusted, but fortunately it was finally opened, and the rich harvest soothed his emotions.

The other two, neither Boudica nor Disma, had no reaction to this scene, but Tardif was taken aback when he saw the corpse disappear.

What's happening here?
However, after seeing the methods of the cultists, even resisting the tricks of the cult priests, and seeing inhuman monsters like pigmen, his nerves have been tempered very strongly.

He was just a little surprised and then recovered. He used money to do things, and he didn't care about things that didn't concern him, and he didn't bother to care about them unless there was more money.

Soon Lance regrouped and continued to set off, hunting down those pigs that fell into darkness!
…………

Owendo, the residence of the Water Merchant Group.

"How is it, has the news spread out?"

"I found a few strangers who pretended to be refugees and spread the news in the city. I guess they will know soon."

"It's not enough, just let the news out, saying that we are raising food and preparing to set off to eat this business, let the brothers make some noise, hurry up." Walter smiled, and he added fire to see if the opponent would jump came in.

"I see." Vic also understood what this meant. No wonder the lord asked him to ask him for advice. He still had a lot to learn.

"I think we can really rob them and raise the price of food. At that time, we can release the recovered food for them to eat. In order to suppress us, they will definitely spare no effort to collect it no matter how high the price is, so that we don't have to run away." So far, just by changing hands, at least twice the profit can be made, and at the same time, it can suppress their profits."

Vic also worked hard to study the situation in Owendo, and soon supplemented the plan proposed by Walter.

Walter also laughed and said nothing when he heard it, but his next sentence made Vic more stressed.

"But what should ordinary people in the city do if they continue to raise food prices?"

Vik had experienced the monopoly of the mayor and the farmer, who kept raising the price of food, causing the townspeople to have nothing to eat, and a large number of them starved to death.

If it wasn't for the Lord Lord's arrival, I'm afraid I would starve to death.

What is the difference between what I do now and the farmers at that time?
Vic only felt a heat on his back, and his brain trembled a little.

"Let's forget it..."

"No!" Walter shook his head slowly, "I planned to do this, but I didn't intend for you to come."

How could Walter not be aware of this kind of money that can be picked up just by bending over in front of him, but don't forget that he is also a businessman.

As for what he wanted to hide from Vic, it wasn't that Walter wanted to borrow chickens to lay eggs, and to use the reorganized business group to make a fortune with his left hand and his right hand and plan to make a comeback.

Rather, he knew that Vic might not be able to accept it, so he didn't plan to tell him. Instead, he planned to do it secretly, and when the time came, he would put the money in front of the lord, so he didn't have to say anything.

Because he also wanted to make meritorious service. Although he completed the reorganization in a short period of time since he took over the business group, he also re-opened the business road between Owendo and Hamlet and transported the materials back.

But in fact, they have always reached out to the lord for money. The current business group is completely a transportation brigade for Hamlet, and it is still losing money.

Now that her daughter and son are taking root in Hamlet, and she still has to work on it, she has to do something to prove her ability to the lord, which can be regarded as a future for her children.

He didn't want the lord to despise his family because of his ineffectiveness.

But Vic didn't understand him, and asked with a frown.

"Why? You were also hungry back then, why didn't you give ordinary people a way out?"

Vic had always tried his best to protect Walter before, and the two of them never blushed when they got along. On the contrary, they still had a somewhat teacher-student friendship.

This is the first time Vic has taken this attitude.

However, Walter has long known that he cannot accept it, and he is relatively clear about the naive thoughts of young people.

At this time, when faced with a question, he asked a rhetorical question.

"Do those ordinary people have the money to buy food now? Their money has been squeezed out long ago. The current price of food is the same as the price of food after it has doubled. They can't afford it."

When Vic heard this, he didn't rush to refute, but fell into deep thought.

Because he knew what Walter said was true.

I said before that he had investigated the situation in Owendo City, and the current food price has long been beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Moreover, this increase in food prices did not happen recently, and the money in the pockets of ordinary people has been drained long ago.

"But..." Vic frowned, and then continued after a short pause: "Can't we fight a price war to bring down the price? Now the food prices of several farms around the city have also risen accordingly, and we can go out , the price of grain recovered is much lower than theirs."

Vic was hungry before, and almost starved to death. With his young heart, he couldn't bear the famine of so many ordinary people in the city.

Walter looked at him and shook his head helplessly. The young man is still too young, but that's right, he has never been exposed to these things, so it is inevitable that he has illusions about the market.

"Reduce the price? Do you know how much money they made this trip? If we show up, we will definitely become the enemy of all grain merchants. No matter how much money the lord has, he will not be able to withstand your defeat. Put yourself in that situation is stupid.

And you don't think that just these grain merchants can raise the price of grain, do you?There are many tricks here, the ones who really eat the big heads are above, and we will have to deal with them in the future~"

As Walter said, he raised his hand and pointed upwards, which was self-evident.

That's all for the sake of it, there are still some things that Walter can't say, and Vic can only let Vic realize it.

Why did the lord ask him to find a way to control the food in Owendo City?
Because the lord also wants to raise the price, the higher the food price, the better.

It's not for making money, but for making this place chaotic, and those who have nothing to eat will naturally leave here to find a way out.

Where will these people go?In the end, it will only enter the pocket of the lord and become a part of Hamlet.

This trick will take out the population of Owendor City. Without the population, can the city still be called a city?

Now food is no longer food itself, but a bargaining chip.

Walter and Vic were talking about using information from the Roma to trick other grain merchants in the city.

Originally, Walter and Gene's business group really dominated this business in the city. Because of the relationship between Gene and the city defense army, he was able to overwhelm Walt in the local area, but only because Walter had a trustee. Tenis's sales channels don't care about making money from the poor at all.

This was the case until Walt's accident and the business group's rapid decline in Tiffany's hands. Of course, there are also reasons for the traitors planted by Gene.

Later, Lance intervened, and although he saved part of it, in order to swallow up the business group, he also secretly forced Tiffany to give up the channel that others in Totnes could only dream of.

At this time, the Walter Merchant Group has completely lost its market and channels and can only be attached to Hamlet. Many of them have been taken away by Lance, and what Walter took over is actually a mess.

Fortunately, the financial support was very strong, and the chaotic situation brought down many colleagues, which gave him a chance to recover by eating "corpses".

But if the market is lost, it will be taken by others. He must find a way to regain the grain market in Owendo. This is the task assigned by the lord, so today's arrangement is made.

This is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy.

Because no businessman can refuse several times the profit.

Just as Walter thought, a certain city that was still standing firm in the face of the refugee attack bought food on a large scale, and the price of food was more than four times higher than that of the local area. This news soon spread to several major food companies in the city in Shang's ears.

At this time, at the resident of the Jean Merchant Group, several managers appeared at the same time.

They basically obtained the news through various channels, and the sensitivity to the hidden interests in the information is the talent of businessmen.

Just like a transcendent person, without this talent, he would not be able to get into his current position at all.

At this time, they gathered together, and they all understood that the others had obviously come for this news.

It's just that no one spoke, because there was still one person missing.

That is the current boss of the Jean Merchant Group - Little Jean.

His son Jean Jr. took that position after Gene Sr. disappeared.

It has to be said that Gene is more successful than Walter because he is quite successful in cultivating heirs.

After Jean disappeared, there was also a crisis in the business group. Some old people were not satisfied with Little Jean, and felt like they wanted to take him out of the picture.

It's just that Little Jean was not polite at all in the face of those old seniors who controlled various parts of the business group, showing a decisive and powerful side.

First appease the obedient, then suppress the disobedient, and finally win over the centrists.

To put it simply, it is a treat, beheading, and accepting as a dog.

A set of combined punches quickly took control of the situation.

At this point he can no longer be called Little Jean, but becomes Jean.

And that's not counting. After Gene took over the business group, the granary was obviously full of grain, but he restricted the grain output. By hyping up the food shortage caused by refugees and wars, he hyped up the price of Owendo's grain in a short time, and waited until the price doubled. After rummaging and re-shipping, they manipulated the price of grain and took the opportunity to make a fortune and make a lot of money.

Poor those ordinary people who have been harvested and accumulated blood and sweat are still living in a life of constant panic.

This battle has completely launched Gene's reputation. The crazy growth of the business group's income has allowed him to accumulate a lot of prestige in a short period of time, even surpassing the missing old Gene.

Those old guys who were suppressed by force finally put away their little thoughts, as long as they lead everyone to make money together, no one will object.

Finally, after a few people waited for a while, the main character came out.

Different from the "October pregnant" appearance of old Gene, Gene may be in his twenties, with a medium build, in his youth, as long as he is not too outrageous, he looks fine, with neatly blond hair And the exquisite and complicated costumes made the whole person a bit arrogant.

However, they just won two battles, regained the business group, and stabilized their position. They also have the confidence to be proud.
