The sixth day of scavenging
In the end, Zhong Yuande's reassuring expression convinced General Sheng Lu.
But more importantly, whether or not we believe Zhong Yuande's words, Guanshi County has already reached a dead end. Since there is a glimmer of hope, why not give it a try?
With that in mind, General Sheng Lu personally led the group to the warehouse where grain and fodder were stored.
This place is naturally the center of Guanshi County now. After the last time the grain was destroyed, there is always a team guarding the vicinity, even though there is actually very little grain left inside.
Upon seeing General Sheng Lu arrive with a group of unfamiliar men, the soldiers guarding the supplies quickly realized that this was probably the reinforcements that had been rumored earlier!
Now they've come to this grain depot, could it be that reinforcements have brought emergency supplies?!
The thought of this possibility made the soldiers' hearts beat faster.
Before the smiles could fully spread across their faces, the gatekeepers noticed that the group wasn't carrying anything that looked like a large amount of grain.
He looked behind the group but didn't see any more supply wagons coming.
Overwhelmed by a sudden sense of loss, his half-smile froze on his face, and his expression, which had been neither truly sad nor happy, suddenly became extremely ferocious.
However, the general and his entourage had no time to pay attention to these trivial details. All they could think about was where the grain that the reinforcements had mentioned was.
On the contrary, the snow-haired boy who was protected in the center glanced at the soldier's face and gained a deeper understanding of the "plasticity" of human beings.
The snow-haired boy is naturally the little robot, Jitong.
Previously, General Hong Kang prayed to the gods for help, and Ji Tong asked him what kind of help he needed.
General Hong Kang inquired whether it was possible to ask a deity to use magic to quickly bring tens of thousands of troops to Guanshi County.
The little robot said it was powerless to do so: "There aren't enough materials, so we can't do it."
Of course, if he has enough materials, his database contains methods for making space travel devices, which are already very common in his interstellar space.
Upon hearing this, the general tried to inquire about the required materials, but when he heard the list of materials that the little immortal had never heard of before and whose names he couldn't even repeat, he completely gave up the idea.
They then came up with the idea of sending supplies first, with the main army catching up later.
That's how Zhong Yuande's team came about.
If it weren't for the fact that the army needed General Hong Kang to lead it personally, he would have preferred to lead this raiding squad himself.
The entire team was made up of the best soldiers selected from among the hundred best in the army. General Hong Kang repeatedly instructed that Mr. Naji must be protected.
Actually, the general didn't need to say this. After witnessing the young, snow-haired boy vanish in the blink of an eye, the members of this squad looked at the boy with even more caution than if he were a treasure.
This is a genuine deity!
Amazing!
The soldiers, realizing what had happened, trembled with excitement.
Throughout the journey, they took excellent care of Ji Tong, ensuring that the boy didn't get a single drop of blood on him, even during their breakout outside Guanshi County.
Najitong was safely taken to her destination the whole way.
For the little robot who had never seen the world before, the journey was extremely interesting.
The fact that horses are a means of transportation is interesting, and riding them is fun. His excellent balance system meant that even though he had never ridden a horse before, he had no problems at all.
As for the issue of riding a horse for too long and injuring the thigh, that's not a problem at all for a robot.
Not to mention, as a roadside trash can, the manufacturer considered that there would always be people who would be foolish enough to damage the trash can, so they added a lot of defense to it.
Even if he were to pass through the interstellar battlefield, he wouldn't suffer widespread damage.
Not to mention something as trivial as riding a horse.
Of course, during the breakout, the human swords and spears couldn't harm him at all. It's just that the little robot was so well protected that no humans had yet discovered this.
Besides the fun of horseback riding, the little robot also finds it interesting to travel through this "slow" new time and space, observe the local customs and culture along the way, and collect information.
Yes, for Zhong Yuande and his team, this was the fastest possible support from afar; for the small robots of the Star Age, it was completely slow.
Throughout the entire process, he was collecting information about this spacetime, including its technological level, material conditions, and so on.
However, data collection is just a side effect; the little robot is more focused on its core work.
The constant changes of location are seriously affecting the work progress.
The little robot was a little worried.
I feel like I'm turning into a bad dumping ground for problems that don't work properly.
Fortunately, he had now arrived at the place that the human named Hong Kang had asked him to go. The place in front of him looked extremely dilapidated, and even the gate he had entered through was already 50% worn out. He figured he would have plenty of job opportunities.
Once the food that humans have asked you to transport is released, let's get to work!
Thinking this, the little robot raised its hand towards the room in front of it after receiving a signal from Zhong Yuande.
Retrieve items from the recycling bin.
In the blink of an eye, the room, which was originally empty except for a few sacks in the corner, was suddenly filled to the brim!
This miraculous scene left General Sheng Lu and the soldiers of Guanshi County completely stunned.
The air was eerily quiet.
A moment later, Ji Tong's voice broke the silence: "The room is too small to fit everything. Where will we put the rest?"
The little robot, eager to get a full-time job, turned its gaze to the person in charge of this area.
General Sheng Lu, who was being watched: "..."
He opened his mouth, his eyes moving laboriously between the grain warehouse and the snow-haired boy.
However you look at it, the entire warehouse full of grain has not disappeared.
The moment General Sheng Lu came to his senses after being stunned by this scene, he grabbed his arm.
There was a wound there from a previous battle that hadn't healed yet.
The sudden grab caused blood to gush out, and the pain of the torn wound finally brought General Sheng Lu to his senses.
"What... what is this...?"
He swallowed hard. His knees, which had never yielded to the overwhelming army, suddenly felt weak at this moment.
He was still relatively unscathed; at least the other soldiers who witnessed the scene were frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.
They might not even know what's happening now, even if the enemy's knife is already at their necks.
Although Zhong Yuande was still excited, having been stimulated by such miraculous methods several times, he was much better than the people of Guanshi County. He did not laugh at General Sheng Lu's loss of composure, after all, their own general in the Hong family army had truly been frightened to his knees.
Sigh, forget about the embarrassing thing the officer did.
Zhong Yuande smiled and reassured General Lu: "These are all grain supplies provided by our army, they are all genuine, don't worry. Now, please quickly arrange another warehouse, as Mr. Ji just said that there is still some that cannot be stored here."
General Sheng Lu nodded quickly and pointed to another spot not far away: "That's fine, that's fine."
After saying that, he seemed to remember something and cautiously looked at the snow-haired boy, "Th-Mr. Naji, is it alright?"
If it weren't for Zhong Yuande addressing him as "Mr. Naji," General Shenglu, in his current mood, would probably have called him "Immortal Master"!
Ji Tong naturally had no objections.
He skillfully placed the remaining grain from the recycling bin into the designated room.
After releasing it, the little robot felt that its mission to help humanity was complete and it was time to return to its work post.
He naturally turned his gaze to Zhong Yuande and General Sheng Lu present: "My mission is complete. May I ask where my new work location is?"
These two humans should be able to arrange a new job for him, right?
If not, you should take the initiative to look for a job.
General Sheng Lu didn't understand what the immortal meant, and didn't know what "work location" meant, so he could only turn to Zhong Yuande for help.
Zhong Yuande didn't dare to make any arrangements for the little immortal casually. Since the little immortal was still waiting for a reply, he could only say, "Please do as you please, whatever you like is fine."
He thought that General Sheng Lu, who knew the identity of the little immortal, would probably not mind the little immortal wandering around Guanshi County.
As expected, General Sheng Lu did not object at all, and instead said, "Mr. Naji can do whatever he wants!"
The little robot, satisfied with its permission, turned and left.
He had already spotted a spot on his way here. After testing, the air quality there was very poor, so he figured there would be a lot of trash for him to pick up.
Neither Zhong Yuande nor General Sheng Lu behind Ji Tong were angry at the former's unreasonable behavior of leaving without saying goodbye.
Those were true immortals who descended to earth! It was already a miracle that the immortals didn't make them bow and pay their respects.
Of course, Zhong Yuande didn't forget to have half of the raiding squad that came with him follow the little immortal, in case he needed any service.
Zhong Yuande still needs to stay here to discuss more support matters with General Shenglu.
The warehouse guards only slowly recovered from the shock after Ji Tong's figure disappeared.
Upon closer inspection, good heavens! Not only had the entire warehouse full of grain we had seen earlier not disappeared, but another warehouse was also piled high with grain!
The group of people, finally realizing what they had just come into contact with, opened their mouths wider and wider, wide enough to fit a giant egg.
In any case, the image of the brave and fierce soldiers who fought against the enemy has been completely lost.
Seeing that they had finally realized what was happening, General Sheng Lu didn't say anything to them, but simply ordered, "Quickly notify each household to come and collect their grain!"
.
Najitong paid no attention to the lively and joyful atmosphere at the granary, having completely forgotten about the matter.
At this moment, he was following a route with poor air quality, and he was going further and further astray.
Until the road ahead was blocked by several long poles.
There was a human guarding the long pole, but this human was completely covered up, with only his eyes showing.
Upon seeing Ji Tong, a strange-looking boy, approach, they immediately questioned him nervously, "What are you doing here!"
