After returning to Demon Slaying City, Zhou Tong and others were completely relieved.
Later, Zhou Tong accompanied Wang Pi to check the injury. Although Wang Pi kept saying that he was fine, he still couldn't defeat his team members in the end.
And He Youzhi found that the atmosphere in Demon Slaying City was a bit subtle.
Everyone he met was worried and solemn.
His heart skipped a beat, and while he was dazed, a voice suddenly came from behind him.
"I heard that you were attacked when you came back. There were no casualties, right?"
He Youzhi quickly turned around and saw Wu Ning walking towards him with a smile on his face. He quickly cheered up and straightened his body. He was about to give a military salute when he saw Wu Ning waving his hand.
"Okay, don't pretend to be fake with me."
He Youzhi grinned.
This seems to be the case with the Demon-Slaying Army. When fighting, the military orders are strict and strict. However, in non-combat situations, even Li Siming will chatter when he sees ordinary soldiers. Ling Qiao is even more outrageous. He often squats under the corner and smokes with a group of people. Smoking.
He Youzhi still remembers that when he first came to Northern Xinjiang, a group of new recruits like him asked a veteran for cigarettes. A group of people squatted in the corner and smoked for a long time and talked. When the inspection army finally came, everyone else was frightened. I had to stamp out the cigarette butts quickly, as if I were a veteran, I felt at a loss.
After that, they saw the cold-faced inspector walking up to the veteran and respectfully calling Master Ling. Only then did the recruits realize that the person who had just been chatting with them about Yamato-sensei was none other than Ling Qiao, the deputy commander of the demon-slaying army. .
"Brother Ning, don't worry, we have no casualties. We happened to meet Master Fu." He Youzhi said quickly.
Wu Ning nodded: "It's okay."
He Youzhi glanced at Wu Ning, as if he wanted to ask something, but he hesitated.
"Just say what you want to say. We are all here to kill the demon army, so don't act like a bitch." Wu Ning patted He Youzhi's arm and walked forward slowly.
He Youzhi hurriedly followed, and then said: "I don't know why, but this time I came back, the atmosphere in Demon Slaying City was not right."
"Oh?" Wu Ning turned away, glanced at him, and said, "You just came back, and you don't know yet that something happened to the food transport team."
"Transporting food?" Hearing this, He Youzhi's expression immediately changed, "How could this happen?"
"I was ambushed by the demon clan."
He Youzhi looked solemn: "But how can the demon clan ambush? Can they still break through the demon-slaying city?"
"Don't underestimate the ability of the demon tribe. Otherwise, why would our Demon Slaying City have no electricity? Isn't it because we can't control and be on guard at all times?" Wu Ning said calmly.
There are so many people in the demon-slaying army, and now there is a problem with food and grass. Just think about it and you will know how serious the problem is.
Moreover, being able to intercept the food and fodder of the demon-slaying army, the number and strength of the demon clan dispatched should not be underestimated. It was difficult for He Youzhi to imagine how they did it.
What makes He Youzhi even more confused is...
"How could this news get out?"
When Wu Ning heard He Youzhi's question, he looked at him in surprise.
He Youzhi murmured to himself: "Such a big matter should be kept secret. If everyone knows about it, the morale of the military will be affected..."
Wu Ning clicked his tongue twice.
Hey, good guy, you want to make progress!
"It is true that we suffered heavy losses this time. Logically speaking, this kind of thing should be kept secret, but we can't hide it. The soldiers who escorted the rations had to withdraw with great difficulty, and there was no time to warn them." Wu Ning said.
He Youzhi nodded.
"Okay, you don't need to worry about these things." Wu Ning said with a smile, "You just came back, so take a good rest first."
"yes!"
After waving goodbye to He Youzhi, Wu Ning appeared in front of Li Siming half an hour later.
Ling Qiao sat next to Li Siming, looking at the drawings in his hands and lost in thought.
"Commander, are you looking for me?" Wu Ning asked.
Li Siming raised his head, looked at him, and waved.
"sit down."
"yes."
In front of Li Siming, Wu Ning even sat very upright, and his expression was even more serious.
"You should also know about the robbery of military rations before, right?"
"Yeah!" Wu Ning was a little surprised.
I just talked about this matter with He Youzhi, but I didn't expect that Li Siming called him over for this matter.
After thinking about it, the biggest thing happening in Demon Slaying City recently is probably this matter.
This is a matter of food and clothing for everyone.
Li Siming continued: "The next wave of food will take at least a month, but our current food reserves can only last for fifteen days."
"It takes so long?" Wu Ning was a little surprised.
Ling Qiao on the side said with a smile: "Do you think you are ordering takeout? If you place an order here, you can get it there? Not to mention that we need to re-check the route. The most important thing is that our rear needs to re-direct to the provinces. It also takes time to mobilize food and grass. After all, the robbery this time was a bit sudden and no one expected it."
Wu Ning nodded quickly to show that he understood.
"Do you need me to bring someone to escort the new batch of grain and grass?" Wu Ning asked.
Li Siming shook his head: "You don't need to worry about this matter. Ling Qiao will take care of it."
Wu Ning was even more confused. If this was the case, why did he ask himself to come here? Just a notification?
It doesn’t seem necessary!
Li Siming continued: "So, the problem before us is how to solve the remaining fifteen days of food. After all, there are so many people in Demon Slayer City, and the amount of food needed is also very huge.
There are two plans now, and they need to be carried out simultaneously. One is to send us a batch from the rear as much as possible, but it is far from what we need. The other is that we need to hunt. "
Wu Ning's eyes lit up and he understood.
"You mean, monster?"
"That's right." Li Siming said with a smile, "Fu Canglan will set up a hunting team to hunt monsters. Your task is to select some smart people from the demon-slaying army to join the hunting team. However, this matter needs to be kept secret. Don’t let too many people know.”
Wu Ning nodded quickly: "I understand, don't worry!"
For the veterans in the Demon-Slaying Army, eating monster meat has long been a normal thing, but now there are many recruits in the Demon-Slaying Army. There is a process of acceptance for everything, and they must be allowed to slowly To adapt, it is still very necessary to keep it as confidential as possible.
After Wu Ning left, Ling Qiao yawned and said, "It seems that this time, the prophet from the Demonic Mountain has worked again."
Li Siming was silent.
Ling Qiao continued: "The question is, do we have to think about how those monsters broke through our defense line?"
"So, this is what you need to investigate next." Li Siming said expressionlessly.
Ling Qiao: "..."
"Besides, your time is limited. At least the problem must be completely eliminated before the next food shipment." Li Siming continued.
Ling Qiao stood up slowly, walked to the side and folded his arms, lowering and raising the sole of his left foot.
I'm angry, but I won't say anything and let Li Siming guess!
