Chapter 142: Population Reduction Plan!
Killing, although not something that brings joy to the mind and body, is not something Liu Zimo minds doing if someone really insists on provoking him. He doesn't mind reaping another harvest of leeks from these people who have offended him. Consider it as their apology after offending him.
At this moment, in the lobby on the first floor of the Dragon Sea City Military Office.
The slaughter continues.
Eighty-three officers who usually act high and mighty within Dragon Sea City, like lambs to be slaughtered, are being executed by Liu Zimo in batches.
As a result, the sound of Liu Zimo's supernatural power prompt rings in his ears like rain hitting banana leaves, continuously and incessantly.
His Qi Sea Dantian, as well as his Divine Soul Sea, are flooded with a massive influx of martial arts cultivation and spiritual power cultivation.
As his martial arts cultivation has already reached the bottleneck of the Divine Connection Realm, let's not talk about it for now.
In just a few minutes, his sea of consciousness expands outward again by over ten thousand meters due to the influx and amplification of a large amount of spiritual power cultivation, and the intensity of his Divine Soul has increased by over a thousand marks!
The sea of consciousness surges, the spirit stirs, and the intense vibrations directly awaken the meditating Yao Lingling.
However, this arrogant bug only opens its eyes casually and takes a glance before flipping over and meditating again, paying no further attention.
In the past few months, it has seen scenes like this at least a hundred times, and it has long become numb, indifferent, and indifferent.
Instead of being envious and sarcastic on the side, it would be better to seize the time to digest the bloodline inheritance it awakened after evolving to the King level and improve its own cultivation strength a bit.
Soon, all eighty-three military officers are executed!
With a wave of Liu Zimo's hand, he collects all their bodies into the [Eastern Pearl] for recycling.
On the side, the thirty-six people specially selected by Zhu Yixiang.
Witnessing everything that happened before their eyes, their faces turn pale!
Their hearts tremble, and they dare not look up and meet Liu Zimo's gaze!
They never expected that this special envoy who came from the capital would be so ruthless.
Without any hesitation, he directly dealt with most of the backbone of the Military Office!
Too brutal, too powerful!
From beginning to end, the remaining eighty-three people didn't even have the slightest resistance, and not even a scream or plea for mercy was heard.
Eighty-three lives, including several Golden Body Realm martial artists, were silently executed like this!
As their colleagues, the thirty-six military officers who were lucky enough to be selected also know that most of these people deserved to die, but they still can't help but tremble in their hearts.
The extreme sense of oppression and fear brought by Advisor Liu is more than twice as strong as Luo Hong, Zhou Santong, Liu Yang, and others before.
The two are completely in different leagues!
Therefore, even though they know in their hearts that this is Advisor Liu's way of killing a chicken to warn the monkeys and deliberately warning them.
This also means that as the "monkeys" being warned, they are temporarily safe, and Advisor Liu should not harm them.
However, the unfounded fear and uneasiness in their hearts are still uncontrollable.
Unlike them, Zhu Yixiang and Zhang Shifeng, as internal guards, see their instructor Liu acting so decisively and ruthlessly, and their eyes are filled with endless excitement and admiration.
In the face of these traitors and oppressors of the people, it is necessary to use such severe measures to establish a bright future in the apocalypse!
Without saying anything else, at least Zhu Yixiang can be confirmed now.
The thirty-six core members of the future military department in front of him will definitely remember today's scene for a lifetime, and they will never dare to make the same mistake again in the future!
Although the play of killing a chicken to scare the monkeys is cliché, it never goes out of style and is very effective!
A few minutes later.
Xiao Feihong, Lou Xiaoxiao, and eight other internal guards returned one after another.
Accompanying them were dozens of local martial artists who were tied up like zongzi.
These are all individuals who have deep connections with Luo Hong, Zhou Santong, and Liu Yang, or have been specially marked by the internal guards.
Just like the previous eighty-three people.
Without interrogation, without begging for mercy, after binding them all, Liu Zimo directly executed them on the spot and even collected their bodies into the [Eastern Pearl].
"Captain Zhu, from now on, you will temporarily take over as the head of the military department in Longhai City!"
After dealing with all the troubles and nuisances, Liu Zimo turned to Zhu Yixiang and firmly instructed,
"When I return to the capital in the future, I will also explain today's events to General Wu in detail and recommend you for promotion to junior staff, officially becoming the head of the military department in Long Province City!"
Zhu Yixiang's eyes brightened when he heard this, and he quickly stood up and saluted, "Thank you, Instructor Liu, for your guidance!"
"But..."
After expressing his gratitude, Zhu Yixiang hesitated for a moment and whispered,
"Instructor, please understand that I am only at the initial stage of the Golden Body Realm. Even if I become the head of the military department, I'm afraid I won't be able to gain the trust of others, right?"
When Liu Zimo and his disciples are present, everything is fine. Anyone who dares to cause trouble will be dealt with directly.
But the problem is, Instructor Liu and the others cannot stay in Longhai City forever!
If they leave in the future, it may not be a problem within the military department. The thirty-six people left behind at the moment will not dare to hinder him.
However, it's uncertain with the martial arts experts in the city.
With the advent of the apocalypse and the revival of martial arts, the strong are respected, which has become the consensus of all forces.
If the military department fails to cultivate its own martial arts experts and lacks powerful means to suppress external martial artists, it will eventually be overshadowed by others.
Previously, why did Luo Hong, the head of the military department in Longhai City, always collude with Zhou Santong and Liu Yang?
Apart from their similar stench, the more important reason is that she also fears the power of Zhou and Liu, which is enough to suppress everything, so she has to find a way to win them over!
Zhu Yixiang doesn't want himself and the future military department to follow in Luo Hong's footsteps. Naturally, he wants to seek more advice from Instructor Liu while he is still here.
"Also, the food reserves in the city are almost depleted. Millions of residents have fallen into a state of half-starvation and panic. I don't know how to get through this difficult situation..."
"Really, I'm not complaining to you, but the current situation in Longhai City is so bad that it's almost unsustainable!"
"I won't hide it from you, before you arrived, Luo Hong, Zhou Santong, and a few bastards were even considering a so-called 'population reduction plan' to alleviate the food crisis in the city!"
"They planned to forcibly expel all the elderly and disabled people in the city and let them feed the monsters outside the city!"
"Listen, is this something a human can do?"
Zhu Yixiang kept complaining, firmly believing that the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
And he wasn't lying. The current situation in Longhai City is really on the verge of collapse.
Otherwise, even if Zhou Hong and the others are crazy, they wouldn't risk making the decision to eliminate all the elderly and disabled people in the city.
"A population reduction plan?!"
Upon hearing the name of this plan, Liu Zimo couldn't help but feel a slight shock in his heart.
He never expected that after so many years, he would once again hear about this special plan that goes against humanity but has been cruelly implemented by many cities.
At least in the previous life in the city of San Yuan, Liu Zimo had personally experienced such a tragedy.
When the first food crisis broke out and famine swept through the entire city of San Yuan, the leaders of San Yuan made a similarly heartless decision.
They forcibly expelled all ordinary elderly people over the age of sixty and disabled people who had lost their ability to live independently to the outskirts of the city, to be devoured by the monsters outside the city.
As for why they didn't let them live or die on their own inside the city, or simply give them a quick death, but cruelly drove them outside the city to be killed by beasts, the reason is actually very simple.
First, the soldiers in the city couldn't bear to do it. If so many people died in the city at the same time, it would inevitably cause panic and chaos.
Second, the city had long lost the ability to deal with so many corpses. It was cleaner and more convenient to drive them outside the city than to let them rot and spread disease in the city after death.
In short, this so-called "population reduction plan" was definitely not the first of its kind in Longhai City.
In the past, although Liu Zimo felt it was cruel, he thought it was an unavoidable method at the time. Necessary sacrifices had to be made for the continuation and survival of the race.
But since he learned about the existence of the devouring spirit insects, everything seemed to have a more reasonable explanation!
"Alright, stop talking."
"I already know the current situation in Longhai City."
Liu Zimo interrupted Zhu Yixiang's words and said softly,
"The reason I gave Luo Hong the martial arts and management manuals, as well as the collection manual, for the two girls, is the optimal solution to solve all the problems!"
"When you go to Luo Hong's office later, take a careful look and study it seriously. You will understand what Luo Hong has hidden and what she has missed!"
Now, although Longhai City has lost two Grandmasters and dozens of Golden Body Realm warriors, its high-end combat power has been severely damaged, and its ability to resist the disaster will also decline significantly.
But don't forget, Liu Zimo came this time to bring them the [Pingyang Breathing Technique] and [Pingyang Ten Forms], which can increase their cultivation speed tenfold!
As long as Zhu Yixiang promotes this set of techniques to the entire army, he believes that a group of loyal subordinates in the Iron Bone Realm or even the Golden Body Realm can be trained quickly.
As for the food crisis, although Liu Zimo cannot conjure up food out of thin air to completely solve their immediate problems, the collection manual he gave to the Military Department can alleviate the phenomenon of conflict between warriors and civilians over food to a certain extent, greatly easing the food crisis in Longhai City and allowing ordinary residents in the city to hold on for a little longer.
Once they survive the current harsh winter and the arrival of spring next year, even if they have to eat wild grass or chew tree bark, they won't starve to death!
Moreover, the Military Department can also develop new farmland within the city, reclaim abandoned buildings, and cultivate high-rise farmland by moving soil onto multiple floors of buildings, making efficient use of all available space to grow food crops.
Or they can vigorously develop soilless cultivation techniques and new types of spiritual energy farming!
At least, in Liu Zimo's memory, most of the surviving bases in the previous life used these methods to solve the food crisis.
It should be noted that after the revival of spiritual energy, not only did humans and animals become stronger with the nourishment of spiritual energy, but even the crops in the fields and the flowers, plants, and trees in the wild underwent significant mutations, becoming more vigorous, easier to grow and survive, and producing more abundant fruits and seeds!
But now, the survivors in the early days of the apocalypse have not yet realized this problem.
Or even if someone realizes it, they don't take it seriously.
It wasn't until the food crisis broke out and famine spread across the globe that people began desperately trying to figure out how to use limited farmland to grow more food to feed more people.
It was only at that time that various strange and rare planting methods and techniques were developed one by one.
Upon hearing Liu Zimo's answer, Zhu Yixiang's eyes lit up. After apologizing, he couldn't wait to rush to Luo Hong's office.
After rummaging through the drawers, he finally found the locked-up materials and resources at the bottom of Luo Hong's desk.
"Damn it!"
"This Luo Hong is truly not worth lamenting. She actually secretly withheld the Divine Grade cultivation technique sent by Instructor Liu and did not promote it to the entire army in the military arsenal!"
"And this 'Breaking Realm Pill' and 'Spirit Crane Essence Blood,' I haven't heard a single bit of news about them before!"
"Hmm? Spiritual Energy Sanctuary?"
"There is actually a secret sanctuary near Longhai City with a spiritual energy concentration ten times higher than the outside world?"
"Damn Luo Hong, how much did she hide?!"
"Instructor Liu kindly sent so many opportunities and benefits to the Military Affairs Department, but she greedily kept so many for herself. Not only that, she even wanted to kill and seize treasures, leaving Instructor Liu and his disciples behind. She truly deserves to die, such a pity!"
The more things Zhu Yixiang uncovered from Luo Hong's office, the harder it was for him to restrain his anger.
If Luo Hong were not already dead, he would want to take a knife and kill this greedy woman again!
He quickly reviewed and organized all the information.
Zhu Yixiang's mind suddenly became clear, and the problems that had troubled him before seemed to have solutions, no longer a problem.
Soon.
When Zhu Yixiang finished organizing all the information and resources, he immediately issued military orders for the entire army to execute.
First, he ordered someone to register the "Pingyang Breathing Technique" and the "Pingyang Ten Forms" in the military arsenal for all soldiers to practice for free!
In addition, he stored extremely precious cultivation resources such as the "Breaking Realm Pill" and "Spirit Crane Essence Blood" in the military supply depot, allowing all soldiers who meet the requirements to freely exchange them.
By the way.
The military supply depot and the military arsenal in Longhai City were not open to the public before.
Usually, only the officers and soldiers of their Military Affairs Department could exchange them based on the military merits they accumulated in their daily lives.
But now.
Before the officers and soldiers of the Military Affairs Department truly grew up, Zhu Yixiang did not plan to completely open the military supply depot and the military arsenal to the residents of the city.
In any case, he must first ensure the absolute control and leadership of the Military Affairs Department!
Only in this way can Longhai City truly stabilize and better protect the ordinary residents of the city!
On the other hand.
After Liu Zimo handed everything over to Zhu Yixiang, he found a random courtyard to temporarily stay in with his two precious disciples at the Military Affairs Headquarters.
With them here as a support, no matter how Zhu Yixiang tossed and turned in the coming days, it didn't matter at all!
At least, Liu Zimo had no intention of leaving this place until Zhu Yixiang completely stabilized the situation in Longhai City.
"Good, this period of time, I have also gained some insights and want to go into seclusion for a few days!"
Liu Zimo said to his two disciples:
"In the next few days, I'll give you a break. You can have fun and relax in Longhai City!"
Sure enough.
As soon as they mentioned having fun, the two little girls immediately became excited.
After bidding farewell to their master, they flew out of the Military Affairs Department with great enthusiasm and began to wander around the city.
As for their master's safety, the two girls had no worries at all.
In their hearts, their master was already invincible. Anyone who dared to cause trouble for their master was simply seeking death.
After sending the two girls away, Liu Zimo raised his hand and took the sleeping old turtle off his shoulder, casually placing it in a potted plant outside the courtyard.
Then, his divine sense moved, setting up dozens of spiritual barriers and defensive illusions inside and outside the house, ensuring that nothing would go wrong.
After doing all this, he finally settled down, sat cross-legged, adjusted his breathing, stirred his Qi Sea, and tried to break through the bottleneck that had troubled him for several days!
