Chapter 204 Jinjiang Exclusive Release
After flying for two hours from Yangshan County, the aircraft finally arrived at the second stop of this trip, the capital of Yunjiang Prefecture, Luochuan City.
Above Luochuan, Lu Xuan zoomed in the camera on the aircraft and discovered that there were many underground cracks scattered in the wilderness outside the city.
But Luochuan was very lucky. It was not split into two by the earthquake like Yangshan County. Instead, it was preserved quite intact.
Especially the city walls that are more than ten meters high surround the entire city, which gives a sense of security.
Of course, after walking around the city, Lu Xuan also discovered that some parts of the city walls had obviously collapsed and were subsequently repaired. Some areas were even still being repaired.
Many houses in the city have collapsed into ruins, but the ruins have obviously been tidied up, and apart from appearing to be some empty spaces, they are not very desolate.
Some pedestrians can also be seen walking on the streets.
Lu Xuan deliberately observed the condition of the people in the city and found that they were thinner than the victims in Yangshan County, but the population was much larger than that of the county.
[It seems like the disaster victims in this city are living a decent life?]
[Even if things are going well, there are definitely still a lot of supplies that are missing. It's just a matter of how much you can trade.]
[No matter how little, the demand of an entire city would not be a small number.]
How does the host plan to contact the people in the city? I don't know how many factions govern this city, and if it's chaotic. If there are too many factions, who knows how long it will take to close a deal.
Lu Xuan said: "There's no need to be so troublesome."
The time I went to Yangshan County was because I was bringing people from the village with me, and it was my first time to come into contact with disaster victims from outside. Naturally, I wanted to learn more and was not afraid of spending more time.
But there is no need this time.
His purpose was very clear, he came here to do business.
No matter how many forces, big or small, there are in the city, as long as they want supplies and are not the kind of stinking forces like gambling houses, he will accept them all.
As for how to make contact... of course, just fly down directly.
Live broadcast audience: ???
The audience was shocked to find that Lu Xuan really began to lower the altitude of the aircraft all the way down.
[No, the host really intends to fly like this!?]
[People in Luochuan don't know about the hover car, be careful not to scare them to death.]
[It would be hilarious if you were mistaken for a monster and beaten out by mistake.]
Lu Xuan's expression was indifferent. "That depends on whether they can beat me."
Lu Xuan was not afraid of conflict with the people of Luochuan.
If they really think he is a monster, the worst that can happen is that they can show off the vampire vines or strike down a few thunderbolts to intimidate him. The forces in Luochuan will naturally know what to do to benefit them the most.
However, in order to avoid attracting too much hatred, Lu Xuan took out a biological mask and pinched a strange face for himself.
A quarter of an hour later.
On a busy street in the city.
The people on the street didn't notice the changes in the sky at first, until they heard a voice from above saying, "The aircraft is about to land, please get out of the way below." Then they looked up and were frightened by the silver-white behemoth, their faces turned pale and they screamed.
"ah--!"
"What is that thing!"
"Help!"
“Run!”
"Go and inform the prefect!"
The people screamed and crawled away, while some brave ones quickly hid in the shops or houses on the street, and then looked out of the windows in surprise and doubt at the strange big guy floating one meter above the ground.
What is that? A monster? Why does it look so weird?
The 'monster' didn't move for a long time after it fell down.
The people hiding in the houses on the streets did not dare to go out, and the two sides seemed to be in an invisible stalemate.
After a long while, a group of officials came hurriedly from a distance and surrounded the "silver monster".
The officers made way for a middle-aged official in official uniform with an elegant demeanor who came out.
Faint shouts came from the houses on both sides, "The prefect is here!"
Lu Xuan, who was in the aircraft, heard the sound outside and raised his eyebrows in surprise and looked at the person who came.
Is Luochuan still under the government control?
In this way, the situation where multiple forces coexist in Yangshan County may no longer exist.
No wonder the city looks much more orderly than the county town from the outside. It seems that the prefect is quite capable.
I just don't know what the other party's attitude is towards him, an outsider who came uninvited or suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Would they beat him up like a monster and drive him out without saying anything, or even capture him and burn him to death?
Lu Xuan touched his chin.
We will know what will happen in a moment.
Without hesitation, he opened the hatch of the aircraft.
The civilians and officials outside saw the monster open its mouth and became nervous. "The monster is moving!"
"Everyone be careful!"
The officers held their weapons tightly in their hands, and some even stood in front of the prefect, fearing that the monster would suddenly attack and hurt people.
Then, they saw a person who looked no different from them walking out of the monster's 'belly'.
...Should be a living person?
When the prefect Liu Wenchi saw Lu Xuan’s changed cold and handsome appearance, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If the visitor is really some kind of monster, it may not be possible to communicate with them well, and they may even hurt or eat people.
But if the other person is a human being, or is willing to appear in the appearance of a human being, I think communication is possible.
and……
Liu Wenchi glanced at the container that the people mistook for a monster, and deduced that it might be some kind of vehicle for travel, but it was used in a more magical way and could fly in the air.
Thinking about it this way, it is more likely that the other party is a living person rather than a monster.
Lu Xuan was the first to speak: "May I know your name, sir?"
An official nearby was about to scold him for being so bold, but Liu Wenchi waved his hand away. Without any prefectural airs on his face, he said in a friendly manner, "My last name is Liu Wenchi, and I'm the prefect of Yunjiang Prefecture. May I know your name, sir? What brings you to Luochuan City?"
Lu Xuan didn't beat around the bush. "My name is Lu Xuan. I'm here to trade supplies with the people in the city, or with the current person in charge."
Liu Wenchi's heart skipped a beat. "What kind of supplies?"
Lu Xuan said meaningfully, "As long as your land needs food, clothing, treasures that can help the people survive the next round of disasters, and medicine, I can provide them."
When talking about food and clothes, there was no obvious change on Liu Wenchi's face. It was not until he heard the second half of the sentence that his eyes moved slightly.
Lu Xuan understood, and the audience also understood.
It seems that there is a shortage of medicine in the city.
Liu Wenchi glanced at the aircraft with its hatch still open behind Lu Xuan. It looked quite large, but it was unlikely to hold enough medicines or other supplies needed by the people in the city.
Lu Xuan saw Liu Wenchi's suspicion of him and did not explain much. Instead, he waved his hand in public and took out several bags of food weighing hundreds of kilograms, a box of ordinary fruits, and a large bag of salt from the space.
The officers were instantly in an uproar.
“How could this happen!?”
"Taking things out of thin air?"
Several exclamations came from the surrounding shops and houses, "Is that... fruit!?"
Smelling the rich fruity aroma drifting on the wind, the people couldn't help swallowing.
So fragrant!
"There's still salt!" Seeing Lu Xuan open the salt bag and grab a handful of white salt with his hands, some people even ran out of the house regardless of danger in order to see it clearly.
When Lu Xuan opened the grain bag and grabbed a handful of the newly harvested coarse grain, more people couldn't be controlled and ran out.
"Food! He has food!"
"This smell is new rice! There's new rice at this time? How is it possible!"
Some people looked at Lu Xuan with shining eyes and murmured, "Could it be that he is not a monster, but a god who came down to earth to save us?"
Liu Wenchi was also shocked by Lu Xuan's move and his pupils shrank, his heart beat faster, and his face showed shock.
Lu Xuan made another startling statement: "I don't know how the people of Luochuan managed to survive last year, but the same extreme weather conditions will continue over the next few years, or even become more severe. If Lord Liu wants to protect the people in the city, making a deal with me is the best option."
"What!?"
The people, who were still excited about the food and salt in Lu Xuan's hands, were shocked. When they realized the meaning of Lu Xuan's words, they suddenly panicked.
"What makes you say that natural disasters will continue?"
"Impossible! Don't talk nonsense!"
Even the official couldn't help but shout, "How could you know there would be another natural disaster? And you're predicting it years into the future right away. Are you really capable of foresight? This is ridiculous!"
“Scaremongering!”
"Sir, I think he is just trying to take advantage of you and is being mysterious. You must not believe him."
The audience in the live broadcast room were also shocked.
Even if we want to save time, we should at least find a place where there are no outsiders and tell Liu Wenchi secretly.
[With so many people around, the anchor immediately said their disaster wasn't over yet. He's really not afraid of getting beaten up.]
Liu Wenchi frowned and didn't speak for a long time.
Lu Xuan ignored the panic and anger of the people around him and continued, "Are there any injured people in the city who can't get treatment due to lack of medical care? I can help with the treatment first. We can discuss the disaster after the injured are healed."
The panicked voices of the people stopped abruptly.
Liu Wenchi also temporarily suppressed his chaotic emotions, raised his head and looked at Lu Xuan deeply.
Treating the wounded...it's really an offer that I can't refuse.
Liu Wenchi said: "Then let's go to the clinic first."
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Wait a moment, I'll put the aircraft away first."
Aircraft?
Liu Wenchi looked behind him. Is he referring to this thing?
He was just about to say that he could let the officers guard it, when he saw Lu Xuan first wave his hand to collect the food and salt on the ground, and then put his hand on the fuselage of the aircraft. Then, the huge aircraft disappeared out of thin air!
Everyone present: “!!!”
·
On the way to the clinic, the officers kept observing Lu Xuan, with suspicion, inquiry, and scrutiny in their eyes. In short, they were not friendly at all.
However, Liu Wenchi remained friendly. Although he asked about Lu Xuan's background, he also said that he would not force her if she didn't want to tell him.
Lu Xuan did not hide anything and told the provincial capital where Yunlu Village was originally located.
Liu Wenchi was surprised and said, "It would take more than a month to get from there to Yunjiang by carriage, even before the earthquake. Could it be that Brother Lu had already set out before the snow melted?"
Lu Xuan: "The aircraft is very fast. I just left the village two days ago."
"Two days?" Liu Wenchi was surprised. "It's really fast."
Lu Xuan thought to himself that this did not include the time wasted in Yangshan County.
If you go directly, it will not take more than half a day.
Liu Wenchi asked again, "Mr. Lu said he could provide supplies for the city. Is that true?"
Lu Xuan nodded and said, "Of course it's true. The disaster victims have a hard time surviving. I don't need to come all the way here just to play a trick on them. However, my supplies are indeed different from what Lord Liu has seen in the past, including the medicines. I need you to see them with your own eyes to know their specific effects."
As they were talking, the group arrived at the clinic.
Liu Wenchi looked at the street in front of him and the miserable-looking people coming in and out of the shops on both sides, and sighed, "Then let's go in and take a look first."
At this time, Lu Xuan had actually heard the faint groans of pain coming from the houses on both sides, but he did not show it at all. He followed Liu Wenchi and several officials into the largest clinic as if nothing had happened.
Apart from an apprentice guarding the medicine cabinet, there was no sign of a doctor or a patient in the clinic.
Liu Wenchi led Lu Xuan to the back while explaining, "There's too little space up front, so the injured have been placed in the backyard. The other shops along the street have also been vacated to accommodate the injured and sick."
After the earthquake, in order to facilitate management, most of the people in the city moved to the south of the city where the government office was located.
Several medical clinics in the city are evenly distributed in different locations in the south of the city. The one in front of you is the closest to the government office and also the one that accommodates the most injured patients.
When he arrived at the backyard, Lu Xuan saw that every room was filled with injured people.
Some were wailing with their limbs twisted; some were bruised and swollen from multiple injuries; some had festering wounds and were running high fevers...
The room was filled with a strong smell of blood and decay, while the smell of medicine that should have been present in the clinic was so faint that it was almost inaudible.
Lu Xuan moved his nose slightly, but did not smell any medicine on the patients. He could not help but glance at Prefect Liu and asked, "Don't these people have any medicine?"
Liu Wenchi said calmly, "The medicine in the city ran out months ago. Only a few people can use the newly grown herbs found after the snow melts, but the quantity is so scarce that most people can't get a chance."
"These wounded are being settled here. The doctors and apprentices in the clinic can only change their gauze and try to stop the bleeding. If they have a fever, wipe their sweat with wine or water and cover them with blankets to help them sweat. If they survive, they will survive. If they don't, we can only carry them out."
Very few of those seriously injured in the beast attack can survive until now, and most of those lying in the infirmary are those injured in the storm not long ago.
Except for those who were blown into the sky and then fell down to be smashed to pieces on the spot, without even a chance of treatment, all the others were carried to the clinic.
A batch of people died in the past few days. Now, these people have minor injuries that have not been treated and have become serious injuries. It seems that another batch of people will die within the next two days.
Watching the people under his rule die little by little in pain, does Liu Wenchi feel heartbroken?
Of course it hurts.
But a good cook cannot cook without rice, and if you don’t have medicine, there is nothing you can do no matter how heartbroken you are.
At first, he would suffer from guilt and couldn't sleep all night, but as time went by, he gradually got used to it, or became numb to it.
Now all Liu Wenchi can do is grit his teeth and persevere with the remaining survivors.
They hold on until rescue efforts are sent from above, or until God grants them another chance to survive.
Liu Wenchi looked at Lu Xuan who was frowning. Could this person be the hope of life he had been longing for?
Lu Xuan didn't know what Liu Wenchi was hoping for, so he just said, "Since the patients' condition is urgent, let's not waste any more time on small talk and start treating them directly."
After saying that, he took out boxes of medicine from the space.
Lu Xuan picked up one of the bottles of antipyretic medicine and said to Liu Wenchi, "This is antipyretic medicine. Taking one pill can quickly restore the body temperature of those with a high fever to normal. Let the staff at the clinic distribute the medicine to those with fever first. Your Excellency can take it and see the effect."
The doctor in the clinic learned that the prefect had arrived and came over to say hello. When he heard what Lu Xuan said, he looked at the medicine bottle in his hand suspiciously.
"You said this is medicine for fever? Why don't I smell any medicine?"
The haggard old doctor said sternly, "The injured in the clinic are in a serious condition and cannot withstand any torture. Young man, please don't act recklessly."
Audience: "Hurry up, host! It's time to show off! Show them off! Show them how awesome our Star Alliance medicine is!"
Lu Xuan said calmly, "If we don't do this, the patient won't be able to take medicine. It won't be worse than it is now. What do you think, Lord Liu?"
The old doctor opened his mouth to refute, but swallowed the words back and looked gloomy.
Liu Wenchi was also skeptical about the strange pill Lu Xuan took out, but what he said made sense. After a slight hesitation, he said, "Then use it!"
The old doctor glanced at the prefect, moved his lips, but said nothing in the end. After asking Lu Xuan how to use the medicine, he took the pill and fed it to a patient in the room who had been running a fever for three consecutive days.
He did not rush to feed the other patients.
In case Lu Xuan took out a tiger and wolf medicine or an intestinal poison, they could at least minimize the damage.
Liu Wenchi saw through the doctor's little thoughts, but did not expose him.
Lu Xuan didn't care even more.
The Star Alliance's antipyretic medicine works quickly and only takes a moment to take effect, so it won't have any impact.
After the patient swallows the pill with difficulty, the next step... is naturally the moment to witness a miracle.
The man whose face was red from the fever and whose breathing was heavy began to return to normal visibly. Even his breathing gradually became smoother. His painful facial features slowly relaxed, and his frown loosened.
The speed of the change left everyone present stunned.
Liu Wenchi, who was sitting nearby, suddenly stood up and exclaimed in a rare moment of disbelief: "How could it be so fast!?"
