Foreign Land Reclamation By a Vegetable-growing Skeleton

Chapter 799: Chapter 451: The Instant Death Halo Can Be Used_3
 

“In the beginning, Deloge City took in some refugees for work, but as the number of refugees increased, Deloge City could no longer accommodate them all. Now they dare not take more people in, even closing the city gates, restricting food from coming out, and not allowing anyone to come out and provide aid. They probably want the refugees to disperse on their own.”

“What do you mean ‘disperse on their own’? Isn’t that just waiting for people to starve to death? Who restricted food from coming out of the city? Who refused to let people come out and provide aid? Is there someone who wants to come out and help? Who?” Negris asked.

Although Negris did not understand human affairs very well, he understood history. There were many instances in history where famine was eradicated by letting the refugees starve to death, he saw the malicious intentions of the city officials at once.

There are refugees gathered outside the city, without any food aid, they have nowhere else to go, so there are only two outcomes, starve to death on the road while trying to leave, or starve to death right here.

This is a very inhumane approach, but often it’s the only solution, unless the city can magically produce food. If the food supply is insufficient, they wouldn’t even dare to aid disaster victims, fearing word would get out and refugees from other areas would swarm here, eating up all the stored food.

In the Master Plane, the Eastern Diocese has Anthony to allocate resources, divert refugees, and organize production. So there is seldom any severe humanitarian catastrophe here.

But now, the organizational structure of the Undead Empire has collapsed. There’s no one who can allocate resources or divert refugees. Everybody is just gathering where there’s food, either until it’s all eaten up, or until they starve to death.

“Is the situation really that severe?” Durken asked in surprise.

Silver Coin shook his head: “It’s not the worst yet. There are many refugees now, but there is actually food, it’s just that no one dares to distribute it, everyone is hoarding it just in case. If production can’t be resumed and farming is delayed, next year will be a truly dire time.”

“What should we do now? We have to speed up, otherwise, many more people will starve to death.” Negris fretted.

Silver Coin said: “I didn’t expect that there would be so many refugees outside the city, in which case we could alter our plans a bit, and recruit workers in the name of the Undead Temple.”

The next morning, several local merchants, armed with the silver coins given by Silver Coin, began shouting in the streets: “Recruiting! The Undead Temple is recruiting! Those who believe in the Undead God can apply. Meals included.”

Clang! Meals included? Everyone who heard this felt a stir in their heart for their faith in the Undead God.

Silver Coin had already arranged last night for people to maintain order, guide the crowds, and distribute food. Having had experience in Rapids Fortress, he easily managed everything impeccably.

Everyone received a rape cake, and when receiving it they heard: “A blessing from the Undead God, may you have your fill.”

Biting into the rape cake filled with the fresh scent of vegetables, feeling the warmth radiating from their bellies, many people couldn’t help but weep. They truly felt gratitude for the Undead God in their hearts.

Ji Li secretly located the mother and daughter who had been staring at her the day before and quietly slipped them a meat cake.

There were over ten thousand refugees outside the city, and they brought Ange two waves of Soul Flames. One belonged to the God of Farming, donated by anyone who ate the vegetable cake, and the other belonged to the Undead God, donated by those who sincerely thanked the Undead God.

Previously, Ange didn’t care much about Faith Elemental Force, because none of the divine techniques here could be used, whether it was Instant Death Halo, Goddess of Beauty Fist, Element Conversion, or even Ultimate Transformation—accumulating too much Faith Elemental Force was pointless.

But now, with the flooding influx of these two waves of Soul Flames, Ange felt something odd. He forcefully stamped his foot on the ground, and the Instant Death Halo spread out.

Ange quickly retracted it, as everyone within its range was alive, all were hungry refugees. Everyone had just eaten a rape cake and would completely digest it within two minutes under the Instant Death Halo.

However, Negris noticed and flew over in shock: “The Instant Death Halo can be used now?”
