The demon world I designed

Chapter 86 Bad Situation.
Nanming Mansion:
"Lord Admiral, the granary has counted all the grain, and the government has purchased all the grain on the market in Nanming Mansion at the current price, and the merchants who dared to take the opportunity to raise the price have already bought it all!"

The chief envoy respectfully reported the situation to the tall admiral in the hall.

Theoretically speaking, in local administration, I, the chief envoy, is at the same level as the admiral, one is in charge of the government and the other is in charge of the army, but now that the generals are strong, officials who are not warlocks really have no confidence in front of these blood warriors.

"Okay!" The admiral Zhou Hanyang, who didn't even have time to unload his stomach, nodded, and kept pouring tea into his mouth. It was obvious that he was seriously dehydrated due to his huge physical exertion.

"You don't have to worry," Zhou Hanyang said while drinking water, "No matter what background those grain merchants have, even if they belong to the four major commercial firms, as long as they dare to raise prices at this time, they will all be deducted, and they will be killed if they dare to resist!"

"Yes, yes." The chief minister smiled wryly, "This official will not tolerate anyone who dares to take advantage of the country's wealth."

At this time, the life of the whole city depends on the person in front of him, so naturally he will do whatever he says.

"General, do you know the origin of the monster outside the city?" the chief envoy asked cautiously.

"How do I know?" Zhou Hanyang gave him a blank look, feeling troubled in his heart.

These living corpses that suddenly appeared were actually not very powerful. Apart from being brave and fearless, they were also stronger than ordinary people. Their movements were stiff and they couldn't use weapons. They were not enough to look at in front of the fully armed elite.

If in an open terrain, as long as there are a few hundred elite cavalry, command to disperse, and cooperate with archers and spearmen to divide, it is often possible to fight ten against one with minimal casualties.

But the number of these ghosts is too much, it seems endless. At the beginning, only tens of thousands came ashore. When the evening was approaching Chen's time, the last wave of at least more than [-] people rolled out of the waves densely, just like the waves of living corpses!
There are more than 2 regular sailors stationed in Nanming Mansion, but most of them are miscellaneous soldiers in sea ships. The real elites who can fight are actually only 30 people, but the number of living corpses killed in the past two nights may not start at [-] ?

Even killing 30 pigs at this time will make many soldiers exhausted, and it is inevitable that there will be a lot of casualties one after another.

Thinking of this, Zhou Hanyang became more and more irritable. The last wave of living corpses yesterday was not completely killed. When it was close to dawn, those living corpses seemed to avoid the sun on purpose, and ran back into the water one after another. Naturally, his soldiers would not rush. Go into the water to kill the enemy.

He knew that if these ghost things went along the water to the surrounding Qu County, they would be in trouble!
But now that there are insufficient personnel, if you have to divide your troops to guard the county town or even the countryside, the enemy's numerical advantage will be brought to the extreme.

Not to mention that in the river, there may be a lot of new ones popping up at night.
Just as he was thinking, a few people hurriedly walked in at the gate of the government office, and the chief envoy hurried up to meet them when he saw them.

It was the Xuezheng who made him feel the most reliable: Mu Hongqing.

"I heard from the students below, General, you didn't wipe out those monsters today, but put them back into the water?" Mu Hongqing asked without being polite as soon as he came in.

Hearing this, Zhou Hanyang was upset for a while, but he still didn't lose his temper. After all, this guy in front of him is not an ordinary civil servant, but a warlock at the academic and political level. Facing these weird monsters, he also had to admit that warlocks often have major problems. effect.

So he nodded and said patiently: "There are too many living corpses, and they are highly poisonous. If they are scratched or bitten, the soldiers will lose their combat ability the next day. If they go into the water to pursue them, the soldiers' armor will be damaged. It has become a burden, but if you take off your armor and go into the water, the probability of injury is extremely high, and the current military strength is insufficient, so if you lose like this again, the situation will be unfavorable!"

Mu Hongqing nodded when he heard the words: "I know the general is in trouble, but if those living corpses are allowed to escape from the water, they will surely spread to the surrounding counties and countryside, and ordinary people will be slaughtered!"

"How could I not know?" Zhou Hanyang said irritably: "But what can I do, Admiral? The fog is weird now, and there are countless living corpses inside, and maybe there will be more at night. At this time, it would be nice to be able to guard Nanming Mansion." How dare you divide your troops to go to districts and counties?"

"General, do you want to consider strengthening the wall and clearing the country?"

"Strong walls and clear fields?" Zhou Hanyang looked at the other party: "You mean to drive everyone to Nanming Mansion?"

Mu Hongqing nodded: "Districts and counties don't have the ability to protect themselves. Those monsters don't look like they eat food, and they probably won't ruin the crops. I have also observed carefully. The living corpses seem to be afraid of the sun, and they are extremely affected by daytime activities. Either hide in the river, or gather together and hide in a layer of black mist that somehow formed, which is far less lethal than at night."

"We can go to the surrounding districts and counties during the day to move people to Nanming Mansion as much as possible. If we encounter these living corpses on the road, it will be easier to deal with them when their activities are restricted during the day. What do you think, the general?"

"The people have all entered the city, and the food pressure is not small!" Zhou Hanyang said quietly: "Now that the river transportation has been cut off, the food is in short supply. If we drive the people to the Nanming Mansion again, how can there be so many mouths?"

When he said this, the apprentice next to Mu Hongqing couldn't help frowning: "This year is a bumper harvest, and the people in the countryside should have surplus food, right? They bring their own food, how can they be short of food?"

Zhou Hanyang gave the apprentice a cold look but didn't respond. The apprentice was puzzled, but Mu Hongqing's face was extremely ugly, and he instantly understood the other party's plan!
There is a large population in Nanming Mansion, and the food on weekdays is transported by the river. It is impossible for the surrounding districts and counties to provide for it. Now that the food and grass in the city are in short supply, and the river transport is impassable, where will the food come from after a long time?

Judging from what the other party meant, it was obvious that they didn't intend to control the life and death of the people in the district and county. After all, these living corpses only eat people, but they don't eat food.

If the living corpses ate the people around, wouldn't there be more food?At that time, the army will be sent directly to the countryside to search for food during the day!
"My lord is really cruel!" Mu Hongqing paused every word.

"Compassion does not command soldiers!" Zhou Hanyang also said in a cold voice, "No, what do my subordinates eat? What do the people in Liuzhou eat? They will die together if they care about everything. In times of crisis, the only way to survive is to cut off the tail. It's such a simple truth. , Master Xuezheng still wants a certain martial artist to teach you?"

The few apprentices obviously understood, and their faces turned pale instantly, but they didn't refute again. Obviously, as the beneficiaries, even if they are psychologically uncomfortable, their buttocks should be crooked when they should be crooked!

Mu Hongqing looked at the other party coldly for a long time, and was about to say more, when suddenly the yamen servant at the gate of the mansion ran in very hastily.

"Why are you so flustered?" The chief envoy, who had been unable to intervene for a long time, immediately scolded angrily.

"My lord, you are crazy, you are crazy!"

"You're crazy!" The chief envoy was so angry that the five Buddhas ascended to heaven.

"No, my lord," the yamen servant stammered, "It's those soldiers, those soldiers are crazy!"

"What did you say?" Zhou Hanyang widened his eyes, strode over, and lifted him up like a kitten: "What's going on?"

"Small, I don't know." The yamen servant cried, "Those wounded soldiers have been biting people like crazy since last night. When we went to count the wounded this morning, we saw a lot of people were bitten to death. Many doctors were bitten to death, what a tragedy!"

"This..." Zhou Hanyang suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart when he heard the words, and rushed out.
Behind him, Mu Hongqing, who watched the other party's figure leave quickly, was also a little dazed, and after a long time came back to his senses, he murmured: "Oops."

Based on his many years of experience in contact with monsters, he instantly judged that the crazy soldiers mentioned by the yamen servants were probably those wounded soldiers who were carried into the city. The admiral said before that the mouth, teeth and claws of those living corpses are highly poisonous. Now it seems , I'm afraid it's not as simple as being highly poisonous. These living corpses are probably the same as the insect monster, they can assimilate and infect others, and the efficiency is extremely fast!

Thinking of this, he quickly walked out of the mansion gate, feeling troubled in his heart.

If the corpse poison can be contagious, I'm afraid it will be troublesome. No one paid attention to the city last night, and the poison may have spread! ——
"My lord, the soldiers have been assigned. There are a total of 530 new recruits. All of them are willing to go to the countryside to save people, but it seems that they want to give priority to saving people in their hometown!"

"No." Chen Qing shook his head: "Going to your hometown is easy to lead to chaos, so you must stagger it. The task of rescuing relatives is limited to the action, but you must not rescue them yourself!"

Wei Gongcheng smiled when he heard the words, Mr. Chen was born as a literati, but he has a lot of experience in leading troops.

"Show five hundred soldiers out of the army and fill them into the south gate!"

These words made Wei Gongcheng frown slightly, he was in favor of staying behind, but only guarding the south gate?

"My lord, don't you care about the other doors?"

Chen Qing shook her head: "Liuzhou is backed by Nanshan Mountain, but the east and north gates lead to the main road. There will be nothing wrong for now!"

The east gate leads to the boundary of Nanming Mansion, and the north gate leads to the boundary of Nanyang. They are both big cities. The seven continents in the south of the Yangtze River are divided, and there are magic circles to block them. I don't believe it, although the leader of the living corpse has some IQ, it is only a little, far from the level of a normal person.

The most urgent task now is to improve the quality of the goalkeeper.

Last night, many people had seen the power of the door god with their own eyes. They believed that the soldiers who became city gate guards would soon be transformed into loyal believers. According to the rules, only loyal believers can receive the blessing of the door god. One thousand low-level pawns, the wind wolf can be promoted to the ninth rank of the yellow rank, and included in the rank!
When the time comes to face the next wave of living corpses, Chen Qing will have a lot more confidence.

Therefore, when going out to search and rescue this time, try to move in as many people as possible, especially the young and old!
While Chen Qing and Wei Gongcheng were constantly discussing the search and rescue route, the second Shen who was on the side looked to the north with a trace of worry in his eyes.

Because of the existence of the Shen family in Nanyang, the imperial court did not have many troops stationed there. The current situation is probably worse than Liuzhou!

Lao Liu has always been wise, now we can only hope that he can control this bad situation
