Chapter 225 The people are waiting for me, how can I do nothing?

"Please teach me, old man."

Su Yi lowered his head, putting on a well-behaved attitude of "you scold me, I listen to you all."

[I hope readers will remember our domain name Taiwan Novel Network → Smoke𝚠𝚔ｇ𝚗.𝚌’s situation𝚖]

As long as you are willing to take action, you should scold me.

After all, Jiang Xiaoci also hinted that Su Yi needed to grow up, and the subtext was that Su Yi was stupid.

Now that he has met the stronger Dongfang Zhiyuan, it is normal for him to dislike his stupidity.

Su Yi knows that he is just an ordinary person, not an outstanding person, and he will not suffer a loss if he is criticized by a powerful person.

"You are quite self-aware."

Dongfang Zhiyuan laughed dumbly. He did not keep the secret and said lightly: "The so-called foggy ghost city is nothing but the fog of the ghost world, where ghosts live."

Lin Yue muttered softly on the side: "There are really ghosts!"

Su Yi glared at him: "Lin Yue, don't interrupt!"

"Hey, sorry, sorry!"

Lin Yue apologized quickly. Dongfang Zhiyuan paused. He glanced at Lin Yue and his eyes fell on Su Yi again.

"Why are you blaming her?"

"......"

Su Yi opened his mouth to explain, but Dongfang Zhiyuan sneered and patted his hand: "You owe her a lot. You are not afraid of your conscience if you blame her again!"

"Hiss!"

Su Yi quickly pulled his hand away, his face full of pain.

This old man is really weird. He clapped his hands, and his hands hurt as if they were torn apart by flesh and blood.

But when he looked down again, his hands were clearly intact, but the pain was already there.

"What the old gentleman said is right. I will change it next time."

Su Yi lowered his head and did not lift it. Dongfang Zhiyuan was more satisfied: "Continue... Miss Lin is not completely right. There are ghosts in the ghost world, but the foggy ghost city is different."

"You just said that the focus of this doomsday is on the ghost city, but it is actually in the fog."

"The ghost fog comes from the ghost world, but it does not bring ghosts. The mechanism test is just to randomly extract some things from the universe."

"Ghost fog is harmless to the strong, but it is indeed life-threatening to the earthlings here. It has the effect of corroding the body and confusing the soul. It is difficult for ordinary humans to resist."

Dongfang Zhiyuan glanced out the window and said lightly: "The concentration of ghost fog covering an entire planet is much lower, and the effect is naturally not so strong, but it is still difficult for you."

"So...as long as everyone does not go out, can't we survive this disaster?"

Su Yi looked out the window, muttered and asked back, and then quickly shut up.

He realized that he had interrupted.

This old man is probably going to be unhappy again.

But Dongfang Zhiyuan didn't look unhappy, he just asked Su Yi: "If people don't go out, where will food and drink come from?"

"Send people to deliver? Do we have to go into the fog?"

Dongfang Zhiyuan asked back, Su Yi felt relieved, raised his head and answered: "Can it be delivered by machine? Machines have no souls, so the negative effects of fog can't take effect, right?"

"No, it will be worse."

Dongfang Zhiyuan shook his head: "The side effects of ghost fog are not its biggest threat, that's just a byproduct... The real threat is that the fog breeds weirdness, and weirdness is not all ghosts themselves."

"It doesn't bring ghosts with it because there is no need. It is the origin of the ghost world, equivalent to oxygen on the human earth, and it is necessary for ghosts to survive."

"As long as it is on the earth, strange things will happen frequently and weirdness will grow everywhere on the earth... .The Earth has already experienced two doomsdays, with more than half of the population dead or injured. There are dead people in every city and place. "

Dongfang Zhiyuan stared at Su Yi with his old eyes and said lightly: "Where there are dead people, fog can give birth to weird things. These weird things have extraordinary abilities, which may be real or illusory, but they cannot be bypassed or avoided by the current Earth technology."

"Instead of sending machines to deliver supplies, it is better to send people to deliver them. At least people are smarter and know how to avoid harm and seek benefits."

"And if you send people to deliver, the fog will corrode their spirits, and these people are doomed to go and never return."

Dongfang Zhiyuan's mouth curled up with a sneer: "So, what should you do now?"

The old man seemed to be gloating at Su Yi, and glanced at Jiang Xiaoci behind Su Yi without a look, and stopped Jiang Xiaoci from speaking with his eyes.

"It doesn't work with technology, and it doesn't work with people..."

Su Yi frowned, his hands entangled, pulling each other, and remained silent.

With the identity and strength of Mr. Dongfang, there is no need to lie to himself, so all this information must be true.

Since he has determined that technology is not good, he can only go the human route, and ordinary survivors and soldiers are not good, so what about defenders? No, no, the defenders are strong in body, but the soul is not necessarily strong.

Then use magicians? Magicians who are good at mental magic?

No, no, the old man knows everything about me, and he must know that I have a magician army. If he doesn't bring it up, most of the magicians will not have much effect.

This... is bad, there is no way!

People can't be used, machines can't be used, everyone will suffocate to death in the shelter?

Functional survivors may be able to use their talents to get some food, but those with combat talents can only starve to death and thirst?

If I knew this earlier, I shouldn't set any thresholds, and I should have signed a covenant with all the survivors in the city earlier, at least I can guarantee the problem of food and drink after staying at home...

Wait!

Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in Su Yi's mind. He raised his head and looked at Dongfang Zhiyuan, and suddenly said: "The magician is useful! You are deliberately trying to induce me! I sent Zheng Xingxing and Wang Shi before, but now it is so foggy that neither of them can die!"

"Because if something happens to them, with your disdain for me, you will probably use this matter to laugh at my stupidity, right?"

Su Yi looked at Dongfang Zhiyuan tentatively. Dongfang Zhiyuan was not angry, but slightly raised his chin to signal Su Yi to continue.

"Looking at it this way...the magician army is also useful, and talents like Squad Leader Wang who have special mechanical abilities will also have a certain degree of safety in the fog."

"It's definitely no problem to use them to deliver supplies... This can at least ensure the survival of more people, and it also means that I actually have the means to fight against the fog."

"As long as I ensure that everyone can survive, and no matter how many countermeasures are taken, I can guarantee that I can survive this apocalypse. The only question now is how many people will die."

Su Yi suddenly frowned: "But...if the 20,000-person science and technology army is not put to use, there will be big problems in the coordination and management of the two cities."

It is impossible to take care of the people in two cities at the same time with just a 5,000-strong magician army.

"You never thought about giving up Xinchang."

Dongfang Zhiyuan said calmly: "With Guiwu's ferocity, you may not even be able to protect Jinling. Are you still considering protecting ordinary people in two cities at the same time?"

"How will you know if you don't try."

Su Yi shook his head and denied Dongfang Zhiyuan's proposal: "The fog has spread, the third round of doomsday has erupted, and countless people in the two cities are waiting for me to make a decision."

"Many of them are ordinary people who have retained their functional talents even in order to take care of the collective. They have no means of self-protection against danger."

"They are all waiting for me to save them. How could I not save them? If I were them, I would be so desperate if I could not wait for rescue and hope."

"madness!"

Dongfang Zhiyuan's mouth showed a sneer: "You really overestimate your capabilities, Mr. Su! If you insist on saving those who can't be saved, you can only drag down your power! Let more people die!"

"This is the end of the world, a test that can wipe out a whole clan! You still have the delusion that the Holy Mother will save the world, but you don't know the reason why you need to use thunderous means in extraordinary times!"

Dongfang Zhiyuan suddenly looked at Jiang Xiaoci: "How did you fall in love with this man?"

Jiang Xiaoci smiled and said nothing.

Su Yi looked at Dongfang Zhiyuan silently. When he had finished scolding him, he slowly said: "Old sir, I am responsible for the safety of hundreds of thousands of people. If my thunderous means fall on their heads, it will be a disaster worse than the end of the world." A desperate disaster."

"I also thought about being a leader who emerged from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, with ruthless means and a heart that kills without blinking an eye."

"But I'm not that cruel. My education has taught me that people are greater than everything else."

"Just like your appearance."

Su Yi looked at Dongfang Zhiyuan calmly and spoke slowly: "Your appearance has given me great hope, but if you tell me in the end that it is all false and make my hope shattered... then I will feel the most It’s a disappointment, but it’s far less despairing than people not being able to wait for me.”

"The people are waiting for me, how can I do nothing."

"Sharp and sharp-tongued."

Dongfang Zhiyuan smiled: "You know I won't help you?"

"It's possible. After all, I am a stupid and foolish leader in your eyes."

"What you said is even stupider."

Dongfang Zhiyuan reached out and picked up his lamp stick, and asked with a smile: "You have seen my mechanism data. Didn't it tell you my origin?"

"I told you, I remember."

Su Yi nodded, recalled and said: "The mechanism says that you are the guiding star of humanity in another earthly world, a wise man with the reputation of being an everlasting lamp."

"Can you understand the meaning of this sentence?"

"My understanding is that you led people from another world and you were guarding them."

"Hey, you're not stupid."

Dongfang Zhiyuan smiled even happier. He raised his finger and pointed at Su Yi: "Boy, I used to be just like you, with the stupid idea of ​​saving the world."

"But I made it, and you haven't."

Dongfang Zhiyuan put away his smile: "I am very satisfied with what you said. Leaders who cannot feel the despair of their compatriots and rely on the so-called thunderous cold-blooded behavior are just riots and arrogance, not the kingly way itself!"

"Then you said that just now!"

Su Yi raised his voice: "Test me, right?"

"No?"

Dongfang Zhiyuan blinked. The old man suddenly had a naughty temperament: "I told you, I'm here to play."

"Then what to do with this ghost mist!"

Su Yi was a little frustrated, slumped on the sofa, pointed out the window, and rolled his eyes: "I'm stupid, I can't handle it, but I want to save people... Old man, you are very awesome, please help me. "

"You are very good at beating snakes and crawling along poles. Did I say I would help you?"

Dongfang Zhiyuan stopped smiling: "I'm not Miss Jiang, and I won't marry you. I don't have to do so much for you."

"Then you have to do something!"

Su Yi looked at Dongfang Zhiyuan eagerly: "Grandpa, I've been here for a while, and you're all playing with me... How about we show some strength first, the days are still long, can you take your time and play with me?"

Su Yi said tactfully: "This fog has been spreading for a while. If we delay any longer, many people will die!"

"What's the rush? It takes time to get weird. It can't create weird things out of thin air."

Dongfang Zhiyuan knocked on the lamp in his hand, and a brighter light came out from the top of the lamp, and Su Yi's eyes lit up.

Is he going to use a skill! Or a big move!

Dongfang Zhiyuan coughed, cleared his throat, and told Lin Yue: "I'm hungry, it's time to eat."

Su Yi: "..."

No, are you still playing?

Su Yi was helpless and signaled Lin Yue with his eyes to get some food.

Now Su Yi can see that this old man is not going to help him, but this fog does not seem to be too threatening at present.

As long as people don't go out randomly, the current situation can still be stable.

Dongfang Zhiyuan is obviously different from other talents. He has greater autonomy and cannot be completely controlled by Su Yi.

For this old man, you can only stroke his hair.

There is no way, who told him to be capable, of course he has a bit of temper.

Lin Yue moved quickly and quickly set up a table of sumptuous dishes. Before Dongfang Zhiyuan sat down, Wang Daniu's loud voice suddenly came from outside the door.

"Report! The whole building has been checked!"

"All floors are normal, staff are in place, roll call is in place! No abnormalities!"

"Thank you for your hard work."

Su Yi responded, and then poured wine for Dongfang Zhiyuan with a smile: "Old man, try the wine here, Maotai National Wine, you may not have it over there."

We must serve this old man well. This old man knows so much about the fog, he must have restraint!

For the safety of the people of the two cities, Su Yi is willing to be humble.

"Yeah."

Dongfang Zhiyuan was very cautious and nodded indifferently. He waited for Su Yi to fill his glass before he slowly spoke.

"Did the guy outside the door just now say something wrong?"

"Wrong?"

Su Yi was stunned, looked up and looked outside the door. Through the crack in the door, he could see Wang Daniu standing at the door without complaint.

He looked down at Dongfang Zhiyuan beside him again. The old man was smiling at him, and his smile was meaningful.

Su Yi recalled what Wang Daniu had just said. He was shocked and felt numb all over: "Fuck!"

"Something happened in the building? But Wang Daniu didn't notice it?"

Dongfang Zhiyuan took a sip of the wine with his mouth this time, squinted his eyes and savored it for a moment, then replied faintly with his nose: "Hmm."
