Ark: I adopted Seria at the beginning

late at night.

In the tallest tower in the center of the mobile city.

A fat man in rich clothes was scratching his hair anxiously. It seemed that he had encountered some serious difficulties.

He is the lord of this moving city.

He is now facing the biggest crisis of his life, which is related to his future votes.

There might be a famine in the city.

It doesn't matter if it's the untouchables in the lower city. Life in the upper city is the most precious.

Although this still cannot threaten some extremely wealthy people, there are also some people with small wealth in the upper city, and the votes of these people are more important than those of the nobles.

And there are many people among them who can use Origin Stone skills.

If they make a fuss, not only will he lose his job, but he will also lose his life.

Food Where does food come from?

Now the pioneers have gone to cultivate the fields, but if they can't plant, there is no guarantee that there will be a harvest, even though it is spring.

But the food you plant will not be harvested until at least summer, which is the fastest time.

Now not only is the city's food supply declining, but fertilizer production has also stopped.

It's not that this fat city lord has never asked for help from other cities, but the letters he sent out just seemed to sink into the sea, and he never received a reply.

Maybe he was stopped by robbers on the road.

It's also possible that his counterparts in other cities didn't heed his request.

The newly independent Colombian government does not have much centralized power, and domestic mobile cities only follow fixed routes. Basically, every mobile city is a small country.

We are really running out of ammunition and food now.

The city lord is already preparing his own retreat.

If things didn't turn around, he would just run away with his family and wealth.

But status is hard to give up.

It took him so many years of life and death to become a city lord.

How can I say give up? Just give up.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door. The city lord answered, and then a capable person rushed in. This was his secretary.

"Boss, things have turned around!"

"What's going on? Could it be the reinforcements from those old immortals?" The city lord immediately got up from his chair.

"No, Lord City Lord, it's Lei Shen Industries and a newly founded company that are selling off a large amount of food. And this food seems to be produced out of thin air. It's completely impossible to find out where it comes from. Lord City Lord, do we want to accept it?" the secretary shouted. He took a sip and said quickly, "The boss behind Scorpio Company seems to be from the Yan Kingdom."

He seemed to have some impression of Thor Industries.

It seems to be a new outstanding company.

But there is no trace of this Scorpio company. It should be a newly opened company.

But where does his food come from?

Colombia was so tightly defended and such a huge amount of food must have been transported by a huge caravan.

"You go and buy a batch first, and then distribute it to the Lower City area first at a lower price." The city lord changed the topic and continued, "Let these untouchables test the water first to prevent any accidents. After all, this batch of food is coming The road is unclear.”

"I understand, but the price of this food is a little higher than before.

? ”

"How much taller?"

The city lord seemed a little uneasy, but still asked.

"It's 26% higher," the secretary said, "and the price is still rising."

"Damn it, why don't they grab it! Their hearts are darker than mine. Now my bottom line is gone. Don't worry about the price and buy it first."

The secretary rushed out immediately after receiving the order, and the city lord sat down on the chair and picked up the phone.

He has paid so much, so he should let those noble grandfathers contribute some money.

As for the price, he didn't dare to negotiate with them.

The right to sell is in the hands of others. Food is not like other things. Cosmetics and luxury goods are optional, but these are necessities of life that cannot be compared with anything.

In a desperate situation, an entire city's gold is worth less than a piece of bread.

If sanctions are imposed on them, and they immediately refuse to sell, they will be heartbroken and set on fire, and that will be the end.

They are all capitalists, so who are they playing dirty tricks with?

What is Scorpion doing at this time?

He is also very busy.

It is not easy to be busy making food to supply an entire city.

So as soon as the sale started, he immediately entered the mode of frantically making food.

It's a pity that not as many were built as sold.

It was empty as soon as it was built.

One can only imagine how big the city's deficit is.

Some people don't eat them right away when they buy them, but store them for emergencies.

People who are going through a crisis often feel this way.

Originally, the city lord purchased a batch in advance, but then he discovered that people in Xiacheng District had been buying like crazy, smashing pots and selling iron just to buy food.

The famine in the lower city has been going on for a long time.

The main reason for this is the inability to buy food. Grain is no longer available in Xiacheng District. It’s useless even if you have money. Granaries are not open in Upper City District.

In order to prevent Xiacheng District from taking advantage of the opportunity, the city lord directly used official power to force the acquisition, but the price was higher than what Huang Cheng had set. They, the bourgeoisie, were not short of money.

What they fear is that if the lower city has saved enough food, it will attack the upper city, causing chaos in the upper city and leaving the lower city safe.

Morning of the 3nd day.

Huang Cheng, who was already exhausted and paralyzed, was lying on the floor of the Thor Industrial Warehouse, but he was still very happy in his heart.

And Mr. Jackali next to him was also very happy.

This time they made a lot of money.

They looked at the various currencies in front of them, including red gold, Colombian coins and Victoria gold coins.

There are even Longmen coins that are not currently in circulation.

Jackali lay on top of the coins and rolled around crazily, laughing silly from time to time.

Damn it, I want to lie on it and giggle.

No, I have to maintain my boss's demeanor and not let my character collapse.

Huang Cheng pretended to cough a few times, and Jackali, who was in a daze, suddenly woke up and slid down from the gold nugget to wait for Huang Cheng's instructions.

"Get your mind together first. It's not the end yet. You turn these things into legal currency, and then buy the major grain sales routes in this city for me. The purchase price doesn't need to be too outrageous. The speed will be fine." be quick."

"Buy me an office building in this place as the location of my future company, and then use some money to bribe officials to let them relax their vigilance against us. This will make the acquisition faster."

"One last thing, you should quickly open your factory. For assembly line and other workers, you can first recruit infected people who are not deeply infected. You and I are both educated, and you know that they are not a threat at the moment. "

As the golden scorpion issued orders one after another, and with the operation of huge funds and capital, the lifeblood of the entire city gradually came to be in the hands of this scorpion, and what about the officials above?

They were busy having a party after the disaster, venting their depression and worries over drinks and food.

At night.

The city has regained its peaceful and happy atmosphere.

It's just that his fate is in the hands of different people.
