Chapter 998(1/2)
The war to confer gods is still far away, but for the ancient war, the imminent war between lich and lich has begun.
The ten-day descent to earth is not the real beginning, but it is the cause. In the eyes of Gu Zheng, this is the beginning. The war does not mean that a full-scale fight is the beginning. It has already begun from the initial spark.
"Wu You, go back immediately and call everyone from the An family and the four major families!"
"Yes, sir!"
Wu You and the others hurriedly clasped their fists and looked at Gu Zheng with some worry. They had never seen Gu Zheng look so serious.
"Huang, Huang Long, you have just transformed into a dragon and need stability. Please go back to your original place for the time being. I will find you!"
Gu Zheng said something to the eel demon again. The eel demon is no longer an eel, so Gu Zheng also changed its name and called it Huanglong.
"Yes, sir!"
The eel demon also hugged its paws and responded. It didn't know why there were ten suns in the sky, but its intuition was very accurate, and it had a vague premonition, just like when it first saw Gu Zheng, it thought this child was special.
After the eel demon left, Gu Zheng looked at the sky, sighed heavily, and flew towards Fucheng.
Gu Zheng arrived in Fucheng first. Wu You and the others did not go back to the Wu Mansion after they arrived. They went directly to the An family and the four families. After a while, An Pin and the heads of the four families arrived. Gu Zheng transformed into his original appearance and sat upright.
On the main seat of the living room.
"Great Immortal!"
An Pin and the four masters clasped their fists together, while Gu Zheng stood up and motioned for them to sit down.
"My name is Tie, you can call me Immortal Tie. You have all seen the ten suns in the sky. I won't hide it from you. This is the beginning of a great disaster!"
Gu Zheng raised his finger and pointed at it, and spoke slowly. The eyes of Anpin and the four major families were widened, and they all showed fear. An immortal said that this was a big disaster, so they would definitely not be able to escape.
"Master Tie Xian, what kind of catastrophe is this?"
An Pin plucked up the courage and asked first. The four masters were all paying attention to the ancient dispute, and they were also concerned about this issue.
"A war between two big races will affect the entire prehistoric world. The prehistoric world is where we live. It is very, very big. But even if it is so big, this war will affect many people. I don't guarantee that we will
It will not be affected, so from now on, you must be fully prepared!"
Gu Zheng shook his head gently. The battle between the lich and the lich was very understandable. The two races could almost be said to have perished together, so that there were not many regular great demons in the future. As for the witch race, they were driven out of the prehistoric era.
The demon gods in the demon world are actually part of Hou Yi from the Wu clan.
"What preparations should we make?"
An Pin asked again. Gu Zheng walked to the door and looked at the sky. The ten suns in the sky had disappeared. It was also time for the sun to set, and the sky suddenly darkened.
Disappearance does not mean that it will not appear in the future. Tomorrow during the day, there will still be these ten suns in the sky. Then the rivers will dry up and the people will have no way to live.
"Move the whole city!"
Standing there, Gu Zheng turned his back to An Pin and the people of the four families, and slowly said a few words.
"Move the whole city!"
An Pin and the people from the four families screamed together. There were more than 300,000 people in the city. It was such a huge project to move all these people. Moreover, many people had lived here all their lives. Let them
Left, not knowing what to do at all.
"right!"
Gu Zheng nodded again. Relocating the city may not necessarily avoid this disaster, but if we don't move, the people in the city may not survive.
It's not because of the Lich War, but the prelude before the war.
Ten suns are always in the sky. There is a severe drought in the world. Water sources are exhausted. Countless people die of thirst and starvation. This is the origin. The Wu tribe is big, so they eat and drink more. Ordinary people die more. Although the human race is small
Some people don't eat and drink as much as the Wu tribe, but the more concentrated they are, the greater the human tribe's losses will be.
Some small villages are okay. There are water sources around them. When the water dries up, there are still wells. When the wells dry up, you can still find some ways to find some groundwater or live branches, but this is not possible in places with concentrated populations.
For example, in Fucheng, what we eat now is well water. The wells themselves are shallow wells. Even deep wells cannot support the consumption of so many people. When a severe drought comes, the city will inevitably lose water.
People outside the city and in the village have other ways to find water sources, but it is much more difficult for people in the city to find water sources. Moreover, with so many people, ordinary water sources are simply not enough. In this way, 300,000 people will eventually be left.
There won't be many people down there at all.
Fortunately, there are still few cities in this era. If there were mortal kingdoms and towns everywhere like in later generations, and if a severe drought of this scale occurred, even the saints would probably take action to stop it.
Although Gu Zheng's new battlefield was much tougher, he had lived in this Fucheng for several years after all. He could not sit back and watch all the people in the Fucheng die of thirst and starvation, so he gathered these families together and asked them to move across the city.
Relocate to avoid this disaster.
"May I ask Lord Tiexian, where should we move?"
Another head of the house asked tremblingly. He was a little older and was the oldest among the heads of the house.
"I have chosen a place. It is not far from Fucheng, only a hundred miles away. There is a river there, a river that will not dry up. Even if it dries up, we can still get water!"
Gu Zheng said softly, what he was talking about was the underground river where the eel demon used to live in seclusion. He had gone down there and knew that it was deep and large. Even if the river bed dried up, the underground water would still be there, ensuring the water source.
As for food, there are still reserves in the city. Let’s make more preparations now. When we get there, we will find ways to harvest some. Gu Zheng will ask Wu You and others to lead a team to collect various food resources to ensure that the people in the city can survive.
rations.
"A hundred miles is not far, so why don't we just move and let only part of it pass first?"
An Pin added that a distance of a hundred miles would take two days even for an ordinary person to walk, so the distance was not too far. Hearing that it was such a place, An Pin felt a lot relieved.
"No, everyone must move there. It doesn't matter if you don't want to move there. Those who stay in the city will bear the consequences!"
Gu Zheng shook his head again. There was a chance of survival if he moved out. If he didn't move out, he would definitely be doomed. In fact, moving to the river was just to save most of the people and let everyone survive. There were more than 300,000 people. Gu Zheng
I'm not confident that I can keep them all.
The water source is available, but food is still scarce. Although there is water there, it is impossible to farm under ten suns, and the natural world will be greatly damaged. Of the 300,000 people, only 200,000 will be left in the end. In fact, it is already very small.
Not bad.
This is just the first step. The next step is the Lich War. Gu Zheng can only pray for this war, hoping that it will not spread here, so that these ordinary people can live in peace and stability.
"I understand, Master Tiexian, I will immediately send a notice to the whole city to prepare for the relocation!"
An Pin is a courageous man. In fact, relocating from the whole city has the greatest impact on his An family. This city belongs to them, so moving out would be equivalent to giving up the city.
He could make such a decision so quickly that even Gu Zheng looked at him with some special eyes.
"What, we all have to move out, why?"
"What kind of cataclysm, those ten suns?"
"I won't move, if I want to move you move!"
The next day, the city quickly exploded into a pot of porridge, and there were still ten suns in the sky. Many people were unwilling to go out, but the news of the city's relocation still reached many people's ears. Some people came out and discussed loudly.
.
On the wall of the inner city, An Ping stood there and explained loudly regardless of the hot weather.
"There are ten days in the sky, and the Immortal has said that these ten suns will not disappear in a day or two. They may even last for several years. How can the land bear it when the sky is so hot for such a long time? The wells in our city will all be
Get rid of them. There will be no food or water by then. With so many of us staying in the city, there is only a dead end!"
"The great immortal in our city, Lord Tiexian, has taken pity on everyone and has found a suitable place for everyone to move to. There, you don't have to worry about the water source. If you stay in the city, you can only wait for death. Only by moving out can you have a way to survive!
"
An Pin explained painstakingly, some people listened, but some still insisted on objecting.
Regardless of the reaction in the city, the city-wide relocation was finally decided, and the relocation began seven days later.
At the gate of the city, there were many people carrying packages and saluting. There were also people pushing carts and people from wealthy families in carriages. They slowly walked out of the gate and headed into the distance.
During the seven days, the ten suns were still in the sky. Some people had discovered that the well water in the city had dropped a lot. They began to believe what the city lord An Pin said and agreed to move.
But even so, there are still 50,000 people in the city who are unwilling to leave. They even said that if you all leave, there won't be so many people drinking water in the city, so it will be fine. There is no force on these people, so just leave if you don't want to.
Stay and follow him if you are willing to leave. Anyway, there is simply not enough food now, and we don’t know if we can feed so many people until Hou Yi shoots the sun.
Three days later, the first people to leave the city arrived at the riverside and settled at the place chosen by Gu Zheng.
Anjia and the four families had already sent people here the day after Gu Zheng ordered them to build houses and prepare for relocation. Although the houses had not been built yet, the simplest shacks were already there. Anjia and the four families had
Our people, as well as the people of the Wu Mansion, will not sleep in the open.
It took three days for more than 200,000 people to arrive.
There were too many people, so walking was slow. So many people gathered at the river, and there were people all along the river for more than ten miles. People from Anjia and the Four Families suddenly became busy, helping the people who set up here.
Build houses to give them a place to live.
At the same time, Wu You and Ma Duo led the team, formed dozens of hunting teams, and began to hunt and store food everywhere.
Aunt Cui and the others are not idle either, organizing people to open fields along the river. There is still water in the river now. Although it is hot, there is still some production with water, otherwise they will have nothing to do but sit back and eat.
For three full months, there was not a drop of rain in the sky, but the ten suns still came out every day. Half of the water in the river was dry. What was once a large river has now become a small river.
A month ago, people who originally stayed in the city began to come one after another. The wells in the city were completely dry. The smart ones knew that if they came early, they would still have a way to survive, while the stubborn ones continued to wait in the city.
When there is no water, they will not be able to walk. Without water, they will not be able to walk the hundred miles to this big river. Now the small rivers and wells have all dried up, and only big rivers will have water.
The river chosen by Gu Zheng is not only large, but also has huge underground water, so it can last longer.
For three consecutive months, the people who have moved out have understood that Tie Xian is really doing it for their own good. If they don't move out, so many people in the city may have to cut off their water supply in a month. If they prepare to move out at that time, more than half of them will die.
