Pirate: Hades!

"Oh my God! What's going on?"

When I woke up and looked at the farmland, it seemed as if the sky was falling.

When we walked in, we saw that large areas of rice had lost their vitality and were withering on the ground.

At a glance, all the fruits of my hard work were gone.

Not only him, but large tracts of farmland throughout the kingdom had lost all their fruits due to some special reasons.

Agriculture is the foundation of the kingdom, and this matter immediately attracted the attention of the royal family and many reporters.

After the investigation, everyone's faces looked very ugly.

But I don't know what happened.

On the second and third days, the estimated output continued to drop sharply.

After a week, more than 90 percent of the kingdom's land had turned into wasteland.

This is a terrible thing. As a major grain-producing country, the importance of grain goes without saying.

The news quickly spread throughout the entire ocean, and all kingdoms that relied on agriculture to a certain extent, and even ordinary civilians, paid close attention to this matter.

The World Economic News Agency even published this news on its front page.

What’s even more frightening is that there is more than one major grain-producing country that has encountered problems.

All the grain-producing countries in the four seas and even in the first half of the great route fell victim to the murder.

Without exception, the harvest this time was less than 10 percent of the original yield.

This is a major event that will affect the entire world.

This was undoubtedly a premeditated targeted attack.

Moreover, the name of the red agent began to spread secretly.

In particular, many forces already have this secret weapon in their hands and have begun to use it.

The content of red agent prepared by Yinnest is huge.

What's more, the various underground forces that have witnessed the effects of the red agent will do anything for their own interests.

They knew that the World Government would not sit idly by, so the most important thing was to take action now and earn Baileys.

Coupled with the terrible impact of the Red Agent on the ocean, before the World Government could react, all of the Red Agent flowed into the various kingdoms, and even into the underground world and the black market.

Smart people have already started stockpiling food.

The grain production of several most important granaries on the sea has dropped sharply, but it will not have any impact on the sea in the short term.

What about after a long time?

The rise in food prices is inevitable.

In fact, the price of sea grain has been on the rise.

There are many smart people.

Anticipating that there may be food shortages in the future, stock up on food in advance.

Or make a profit in this way.

It’s just a question of when it will start to rise and how much it will rise.

Following those major grain-producing countries, farmland in many kingdoms turned into wasteland.

The climate was different in different places, and the harvest season was also very different, so the kingdoms that harvested early could only be thankful.

Avoided this disaster.

Is it really?

With the advent of the imaging age, the speed of information dissemination has greatly accelerated.

Through newspapers and some video introductions, more people knew about the existence of red agent.

Circulating in the underground world.

Because of its chicken rib effect, its price is not high and the cost is low, which is a terrible thing for those kingdoms that rely on agriculture.

At the same time, conflicts between individuals may also lead to the use of red agents.

The World Government immediately dispatched personnel to the kingdom where the incident occurred and conducted research on the red agent.

The navy also dispatched generals to treat the incident seriously.

The navy has a population of hundreds of thousands and the daily food consumption is huge.

Especially for most people with non-human physiques, their appetite is several times or even dozens of times that of ordinary people.

Every year a large portion of military expenditure is spent on daily food.

If food prices rise, it means that the navy's food expenses will increase.

Although there are other foods that can be used as substitutes, who can guarantee that the prices of meat and vegetables will not increase due to the increase in food prices?

The market is constantly changing.

When demand is high and supply is insufficient, prices will naturally rise.

Not long after, even more terrifying things broke out across the ocean, including multiple research organizations including the World Government Research Institute.

After studying the red agent and conducting field investigations, we found that the medicinal properties of the red agent are not easy to dissipate and it takes more than ten years to dissolve naturally.

In other words, the land sprayed with red agent will lose its ability to be cultivated.

It will be impossible to farm for at least ten years.

Even after more than a decade, after such a long period of abandonment, the farmland has become wasteland and the grain yield will decrease. I don’t know how much time and effort it will take to recover.

"God damn it! Who on earth came up with this thing? It's so vicious!"

When the news spread, everyone knew how terrible this thing was.

Even pirates who don't do any production are very wary of this kind of thing.

After all, many pirates were ordinary people before they went to sea, and they had some understanding of such things.

Although there is no food shortage at sea.

But the spread of this news caused panic among people.

All parties began to hoard rice and various foods, and even ordinary residents were affected.

Some prices have started to rise, including sushi, fried rice and other rice-related foods.

Major restaurants have increased the base prices of their respective dishes.

The only ones that were not affected were the self-sufficient kingdoms and ordinary islands.

If you have surplus food, you can even take this opportunity to make a small profit.

In the short term, the world government and some scientists cannot develop an antidote for the red agent.

After all, the red agent has already seeped into the soil.

It is not difficult to solve part of the problem and shorten the duration of the effects of the red agent.

However, completely removing the effects of the red agent would be difficult even for the world government with its powerful technological capabilities.

Even if the effect of the red agent is shortened to seven or eight years, there are still three or four years left.

Even a year would have a terrible impact on the entire ocean.

After all, grain can be harvested at least three or four times a year.

This special organization called "World Destruction Research Institute" also became famous throughout the world at the first time.

It is not difficult to find where the red agent came from.

Naturally, we can find the source behind the scenes.

But what’s the use of just knowing a name?

No one knows who this special organization is and where they are.

This organization is emerging for the first time.

Some smart people can guess that this may be a pseudonym, and the name sounds fake. Of course, it may also be true.

The World Government immediately listed the red agent in the list of prohibited items and notified the world.

All red agents must be destroyed.

At the same time, the so-called "World Destruction Research Institute" became an illegal force and offered a bounty.

Even though it's clear there might not be anything to find, some surface work still has to be done.
