Chapter 1269 Delicious

A moment of dead silence.

Some people swallowed and were in shock, but more people couldn't help but their eyes lit up, as if flames were burning, and they were excited again.

At first, everyone was just stunned by the bad news, and instinctively tried to use this incident to attack dissidents, but it is not without people who think quickly.

As mentioned before, losses are inevitable, but how much are the piles of sticks and rice rotting in the ground worth? At worst, it's cheaper to pack it up and dispose of it. Even if the top floor area doesn't accept it, some restaurants in the lower floor area will.

Although the compensation for order breach is heavy, it may not be delayed.

Although the temporary drop in stock prices is heartbreaking, it can still hold on.

But once this period of time is passed, after the news of a reduction in grain production spreads throughout the Holy City and the panic of food shortage...for their opponents who hold the vast majority of grain reserves, the situation will become an out-and-out positive!

If the operation is done well, the losses in this quarter and the damage caused by the lawyer can be recovered ten times, a hundred times, or even a thousand times!

after all……

"Things are rare and valuable."

The chairman showed a creepy smile: "You don't have to watch movies, you don't have to buy clothes, but how can anyone not eat?"

In the dead silence, everyone couldn't help but look at the damage report on the screen.

Hungry, he swallowed.

Is this bad news or good news?

Destiny is really unpredictable.

You see, as soon as the transfer lawyer died, things seemed to get better immediately.

Sure enough, the adjuster died a good death, a good death.

The good thing is, he's dead.

In the midst of the imagination of a better future, everyone was smiling, abandoning disputes and contradictions, and determined to work together to move towards a better future, when they suddenly heard a sudden loud noise.

The office door was knocked open.

A hurried secretary burst in, carrying a nose-shaking stench and a pale face.

Almost, almost crying.

"No, it's not good..."

Dead silence.

Seeing the secretary he sent to check the inventory in such a panic, the chairman was stunned for a moment, then suddenly his feet gave way and he fell down on his chair.

It was like falling into a sea of ​​ice.

No more temperature.

"The group's reserves, my, our warehouse... have been, have been..."

I can't say the rest of it.

Under the gaze of those cold beast-like faces, he swallowed and closed his eyes in despair.

Already, I don’t dare to speak anymore.

The No. 1 Reserve Warehouse, the No. 2 Reserve Warehouse, the No. 3 Reserve Warehouse, the Extra Reserve Area and the Delivery Area... Screams and wails rang out from Home Agriculture's many warehouses and reserves throughout the Holy Capital.

More than one-third of the reserves have mysteriously disappeared without a trace.

Due to years of secret reselling by the lower departments and various complicated relationships, the money had been divided up before it was put into the warehouse.

Some storage areas were completely empty, not even a grain of rice or a bag of flour.

As for those old grains that are used to lower market prices and facilitate trading, not many people care about them at all. When they open the warehouse, they find that the original old storage facilities have already suffered damage after years of lack of maintenance. .

After all, compared to the raw materials needed for medicinal materials, perfume extraction, and stimulants, how many people would be interested in such unprofitable things?

That's almost it.

More than 70% of the food reserves have been completely scrapped before they even see the sun.

Under the burst water pipes, beguiling mushrooms grew out of the caked flour, covered in foul-smelling mycelium. I don't know who deliberately carried out the damage. When no one was aware, the packaging of most of the food reserves was deliberately torn apart and exposed to humid air or harsh environments.

As for the well-preserved inventory, less than 10% of the inventory in the model storage rooms used for external display and corporate image building is left.

"Check for me——"

In the dead silence, the chairman made a hoarse voice, like an empty echo from hell.

"Let me see which scoundrels are reselling the inventory. Who destroyed our reserves? Who is behind all these dramas..."

For a moment, the expressions of many people in the board of directors changed slightly. They didn't know what they were thinking of, and they gradually became panicked.

Soon, the preliminary investigation results were sent to the conference table.

Because the other party seemed to have no cover at all.

A few days ago, almost at the same time that mudslides destroyed most of the plantations outside the city, a group of people walked in swaggering through the video surveillance of several warehouses.

Whistling, smoking, walking loosely, singing songs, the carnival of destruction began.

Smash pipes, damage equipment, scratch packaging, and drop contaminants.

In the end, they were considerate and cruel, leaving their mark at the center of all the destruction...

The wolf-headed totem is grinning ferociously at the viewers.

Such a mockery.

At that moment, countless people turned back and looked out the window.

At the highest point of the top floor area, there was a corpse swaying playfully in the wind.

In an instant, I felt the final despair.

Involuntarily, he roared miserably.

"——Tune a lawyer!!!"

On the gallows, the barrister was silent.

The undecomposed corpses swayed in the wind.

The corner of his mouth seemed to evoke a...smile from hell.

.

It takes time for bad news to spread.

The fermentation of the incident has not yet begun.

When the sun rises high, the Holy City has already ushered in the peak of excitement. During this break from work, countless people came out early to look for food after finishing work that had somehow become smaller. , explore the store.

And just outside the bustling fast food restaurant, I don't know how many people stopped and looked at the crowded situation inside with confusion. Between the waiters who were so busy that they were about to vomit blood, customers kept raising their hands, but they didn't. Instead of paying the bill, I ordered another bowl.

More to come!

Even in the kitchen, you can hear the shocked or confused exclamations from outside, as well as those incredible exclamations.

At the dinner table, everyone even forgot to look at their mobile phones and focused on cooking rice, one bite after another, and devouring it in big mouthfuls. It seemed that it was just a piece of poor-quality fast food, and it was already so delicious that it wanted to be swallowed by the tongue. It's like going down.

"Delicious, delicious!"

"too delicious!"

"It's so evil. How did this family smell so bad?!"

"tasty!"

"Waiter? Waiter, take your order!"

"I have never tasted such good rice. One more bowl - no, I have two colleagues coming, three bowls!"

At the door of the kitchen, the chef who heard the noise outside turned around blankly and looked at his equally confused colleagues in the kitchen, as well as the increasingly sweet smell.

From the steamer.

"Is this really our own rice?"

A waiter took a sip in confusion, his movements stopped in place, his eyes widened, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "It smells so good!"

It has a distinct texture, a soft and waxy sweetness, and a lingering flavor that lingers on the tip of the tongue. With rice like this, you can eat even raw meat with blood and fur, right?

it's wired.

Everyone raised their hands, trying the rice that they had never touched before, and marveled at it.

I even forgot about my work and ignored my boss’s constant urgings.

He ate first.

And in the midst of all the busyness, the faucet in the sink in the corner was still running.

Blah, blah, blah.

The clear water set off a small whirlpool among the food residues, flowed into the dark pipe, and went to the distance.

Not just here, but also in front of pizza delivery shops, bakeries, high-end steakhouses, and fly restaurants and garbage vendors that can be seen everywhere in lower-rise areas... Under the temptation of sweetness, everyone rushed to buy it, triggering a frenzy.

On this day, the catering industry in the entire Holy Capital ushered in an unprecedented peak.

In addition to rice, noodles, pies and other staple foods, even dishes and soups have become extremely tempting.

tasty.

Such a delicious taste, unprecedented.

It was as if overnight, those once dormant taste buds had been activated, and even the rough meals in the company cafeteria became extremely delicious.

I don't know how many people crowded in line in front of the store, and some even started fighting over the space in the restaurant. Some stores have been sold out early, but when they called the supplier to request delivery, they were met with pushback and delays. They had no choice but to close the store.

The rush to buy continued late into the night.

Various hospitals and clinics in the Holy City also ushered in a peak soon. Thousands of customers were admitted to the wards due to uncontrolled overeating. There were also more indigestion and gastrointestinal conditions that made medicines usher in a crisis. Out of stock, Xingchen Medical’s stock price rose again.

Compared to the excitement and joy in the market, the top floor area was unexpectedly silent.

Even Shengdu Entertainment seemed not to see it.

No broadcast was made.

Some people had noticed something unusual in advance and were worried, but no matter how much they inquired, they could not find more detailed information.

I can only fall asleep with uneasiness.

And some people can't sleep all night.

In the messy apartment on the lower floor, Daizi suddenly woke up from her light sleep and heard a small sound coming from outside the bedroom door, as if she was rummaging for something.

The awakened baby was crying loudly.

When she looked beside her, she found that her rough and arrogant husband was nowhere to be found, and her heart sank to the bottom.

But finally, when she finally mustered up the courage, she quietly opened the bedroom door with the weapon hidden under the bed, and saw the light in the kitchen...

In front of the wide-open refrigerator door, there was a figure squatting on the ground, holding a bowl of leftover rice and chewing the food with his mouth open. Even the food that was not warm at all was extremely sweet.

Even the bones will be chewed.

Eat, eat, eat.

Still here, eating.

"W-Vaughn, is that you?"

Daizi asked fearfully, "What are you doing?"

In front of the refrigerator, my husband seemed to hear a voice behind him and turned around to look over.

"I'm so hungry, Daizi, I don't know why... I'm so hungry."

He used his fingers to painstakingly scrape off every bit of grease on the plate and put it into his mouth. Still unsatisfied, he threw the plate away and continued to rummage through the contents of the refrigerator.

Even the vegetables are not spared and stuffed into the mouth.

"I haven't eaten enough."

Vaughn complained vaguely, "No matter how much I eat, I can't get enough... Why do you only have this little food? I work hard to make money every day, why don't you even make me a full meal!"

Daizi trembled and subconsciously took a step back, feeling a dull pain from the bruise on her face that had not yet healed.

"I, I will buy it, I will buy it immediately..."

Not caring to say anything else, Daizi hurriedly wrapped herself in a piece of clothing and rushed out the door as if she were running away from her husband, who was brutally beaten countless times after being drunk.

She rushed all the way to the convenience store that was still open. She didn't even have time to breathe, but when she opened the door, she couldn't help but fall into despair.

The food categories on the shelves were empty, and even the quick lunch boxes in the cold snow section were almost sold out.

Only the last portion was left.

The last one!

Daizi didn't have time to think about it, and rushed forward in a panic, grabbing the piece of fast food into her hands, as if she had been granted amnesty.

Behind him, the ticking sound at the door sounded again.

The automatic door opens.

Another person in a hurry walked in and looked around in shock.

Finally, look at the fast food in her hand.

There was a brief silence.

The man swallowed involuntarily...

The sound of hunger sounded from my stomach.

Late at night, the headquarters of Hope Energy is still brightly lit.

The video conference has just ended, but the countdown to another secret meeting and discussion has already begun.

Temperance sat on the chair with a cold expression.

Throughout the whole day, I didn't have time to eat. I just drank some water to deal with it. Now, I felt a deep stomach pain.

It stirs the heart and brings a burning sensation.

His clenched fists had veins popping out.

Ever since he left the inner cage, bad news had come one after another. When the sudden bad news plunged everyone into chaos, the problems exposed triggered a chain reaction.

The result was nothing but feathers everywhere.

Knowing that he would end badly, the chairman of Homeland Agriculture fell into madness. He started to completely mess up the meeting and even started to extort and threaten other people. Rescue must be provided, otherwise he would drag everyone to death.

In the end, the argument lasted all day, but of course nothing came of it.

But fortunately among the misfortunes, at least today at the meeting, no one felt that maintaining vigilance was unnecessary...

It's just that there is a crisis in the food supply, but it will not completely panic the temperance.

After all, Home Agriculture is not the only one that has reserves. In order to avoid trouble, major companies will more or less store a batch of materials in case of emergency needs.

If the grain reserves on the market are properly handled and arranged, there will be absolutely no problem in supporting them for two quarters.

But the key is...

Can it really be handled properly?

There was a knock on the door, and the anxious secretary walked in and shook her head helplessly at him.

"They're all trying to shirk the blame, Mr. Andre..."

Not a single company has come forward to support Temperance's proposed food sharing proposal.

Even now, everyone is playing their own cards.

Even if it is a useless 4, it will never be thrown out easily.

"Those, idiots-"

Temperance stretched out his hand, covered his face, and murmured hoarsely.

I don’t know how many times today I made the same complaint.

He didn't get furious because the anger had already been burned out and anger could not solve any problems.

There was obviously going to be a private meeting and discussion in the next two minutes, but now, he actually felt a little tired.

Whenever he recalled the soft sneer from Huai Shi before leaving, the ominous premonition in his heart would become stronger again.

But at this time, he must not get into trouble.

The lawyers' cards have not been exhausted yet...

That guy, and that guy's accomplices, that group of people, won't give up!

He rubbed his face, turned back, and looked out the window at the glorious night scene.

The Holy City is still operating in an orderly manner.

Seeing such a scene, he felt a little more at ease.

Thinking on the bright side, even if they are a bunch of short-sighted people who cannot see the situation clearly, at least they still know how to block the news, right?

.

An hour later, before dawn, news spread like wildfire of reduced crop production and insufficient stocks.

The bad news is spreading.

At an unprecedented terrifying speed...

“When he opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, Come.”

In the blockade of the eternal paradise, entangled by countless chains, the lingering ghost looked at all this with a smile, and softly chanted: "I looked and saw a black horse. The rider on the horse held a scale in his hand.

And I heard what seemed a voice among the four living creatures saying, One denarius shall buy one liter of wheat, and one denarius shall buy three liters of barley. Do not waste the oil and wine..."

famine.

Now, famine has arrived.
