Chapter 220 Bear the brunt
Zhao Ziyue nodded, and continued: "The metropolis may have realized that the impact of the drought is too great, so it has to open up the water supply, but it is not free, and only the registered territories belonging to the metropolis have the right to purchase. Territories have priority.

But the actual situation is that even the outer territories may not be able to buy water, because the population of the metropolis consumes too much water. Now the metropolitan farmland is irrigated with the lowest standard of water, and domestic water has also begun to implement a strict rationing system. "

Speaking of this, Zhao Ziyue paused: "There is another situation. Due to the rationing system in the metropolis, many restaurants in the metropolis have been forced to close down. Even our Kagura Street business has been shut down last week. .”

"Don't we use our own water? They also take care of it?"

After the operation of Kagura Street is on the right track, in order to maintain the good flavor of the food and protect the good reputation of Kagura Street, Lin Hai never uses the low-grade purified water of the metropolis, even if it costs a high rental car fee, he still has to use it Chen Elong had this question because of the fresh ingredients and water brought over from Hope City.

"It seems to say that we are too thirsty after eating..."

Uh, when everyone thinks about it, it is true,
French fries, potato chips, these fried foods, including those new dishes, are made according to the standard of eating and drinking, so the sales of barley tea and cold beer are very good, and they have always occupied the top of the best-selling drinks in the metropolis. two.

"The Metropolis once inquired about purchasing our drinks, but Lin Hai refused on the grounds that we were out of stock."

"Well, he did the right thing." Lin Guiyao waved his hand.

Metropolis said it was an acquisition, and he knew how low the price would be without asking him.Lin Hai said that the stock was out of stock, so naturally he would not sell it again, and just make money in the future. The most troublesome thing would be if the market is ruined by the Metropolis.

"It seems that this severe drought is really serious." Looking at the handful of corn, Lin Guiyao sighed.

"It's very serious, but only for those territories. For the refugees, there is basically no change." Gui Xingchao said.

"Why, don't they still have water to drink?"

Wang Bing nodded: "It's true. Whenever this kind of situation occurs, the displaced people have no choice but to collect radiation water everywhere, especially the radiation hole, and get water with a slightly lower pollution level by boiling. , even the third-level purified water in the metropolis is taken back from there for purification.”

"Radiation hole?" Lin Guiyao asked, this was the first time he had heard of it.

"Well, the radiation hole is more than 500 kilometers behind our dam. The radiation water inside does not know where it comes from, and it is almost inexhaustible. There is only one force called the Commoner entrenched there. There are no restrictions and no fees.”

Common people?What kind of force is this?Doesn't the metropolis care?

Seemingly aware of Lin Guiyao's doubts, Gui Xingchao explained: "As for the fellows, they are actually a group of refugees who can't survive. They all got radiation sickness."

"More than [-] people? This is a huge resource!"

"You are wrong about this lord." Gui Xingchao shook his head, "A large number of people die every day, but at the same time, more people join them, so there are so many people gathered.

Each one of them is not much different from the infected body. Most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, just like the people in our labor village outside the city. Even the slave merchants don't like them. If we hadn't taken them in, they would probably have ended up there. , so in the eyes of others, it is just a burden.If they hadn't never caused trouble, they would have been wiped out long ago. "

"Is that so? But there are so many of them, what do they eat?"

Lin Guiyao was very curious, Qiufeng Mountain couldn't even support 4000 people, so how could these old, weak, sick and disabled be able to support 10 people?
"There are many mutated plants in the radiation cave, almost all over the mountains and plains, but most of them are poisonous. They rely on the slightly lower poisonous parts to eat, and occasionally pick some highly poisonous fruits to trade with others. The price is radiation sickness and human life."

It turns out that the mysterious radiation hole and the poisonous plants all over the mountains provide these desperate people with the last place to drink poison to quench their thirst.

Lin Guiyao secretly remembered this location and felt that he should visit it when he had time. Maybe he would gain something from it.

"Okay, the topic has strayed. Let's continue discussing this Operation Longwei. Lord, what do you think this drought will bring to us?" Gui Xingchao suddenly stopped talking.

What to bring?
Lin Guiyao pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "First of all, we can't hide the information about the abundance of water resources and food here. I think it won't be long before many people like today's lords will come. There will be a lot of troubles at that time, if they just buy and sell by force, it’s all right, I’m worried that if one of them can’t handle it well, we will be plotted by someone with a heart.”

"Well, this is indeed a big trouble, is there anything else?" Gui Xingchao asked.

"You still have to tell me, my great military adviser!" Lin Guiyao frowned, and I didn't say anything, I wanted to look like I was throwing my hands away.

"Alright alright."

Gui Xingchao smiled, stood in front of the sand table, reached out and took out sixteen red flags, and stuck them in the corresponding territories.

"This is currently a territory that still has water sources besides the metropolis. Since only the metropolis has complete radiation water purification technology, but the output is not high, otherwise it will not be affected by the drought. Therefore, other territories want to seek water sources , must target these sixteen territories, as well as our City of Hope."

Everyone nodded, no one would dare to rob Metropolis.

"But among the sixteen territories, ten are the outlying territories of the metropolis, and no one will touch them until the last moment, and the remaining six happen to be relatively far away from the metropolis. Our Hope City has become the nearest water source target for all territories near the metropolis!"

Gui Xingchao picked up a red rope and circled a big circle on the sand table with Hope City as the center. Inside the circle, more than 50 territories, large and small, were framed.

"Bear the brunt!" Wang Bing frowned.

"That's right, whether we want it or not, we hope that the city is already on the cusp of the drought caused by this drought. Whether it will become a wave-bearer or have no bones left will depend on whether our Longwei operation is successful or not."

Lin Guiyao raised his hand: "You have been talking about Longwei since just now. What does this Longwei operation mean?"

Gui Xingchao smiled and pointed to Gabang.

"Look at Gabang, I hope there are still beasts in the city who dare to challenge him?"
