Chapter 5: Yan City is short of water, should Xiao Yu be sent to find some? Xiao Ting's brillia
"Squeak..."
Xiao Yu was woken up by the Lightning Sable in the early morning.
Good morning, Little Flash!
Xiao Yu greeted him with a smile.
"Squeak..."
Xiao Shan immediately jumped into his arms excitedly and started to act cute.
Xiao Yu got up and saw a rabbit lying on the ground.
He paused for a moment, then looked at Xiao Shan in surprise: "Did you prepare breakfast for me?"
"Squeak squeak..." Little Flash nodded repeatedly, his little head bobbing like a chick pecking at rice.
Xiao Yu had already noticed that Xiao Shan had gone out, but he didn't expect that it was to hunt for him.
He glanced at the little rabbit, its fur and internal organs removed, its eyes wide open in death, yet it was still clean and white.
obviously.
After seeing his peeling and cleaning process, Xiao Shan has already learned how to do it.
Xiao Yu's feelings suddenly became complicated.
Looking back on my two miserable lives.
In my previous life, I was someone's horse and ox, and I worked myself to death.
This time it's even worse; they've used them and then discarded them...
Unexpectedly, the first person in the world to be kind to me was a little pet.
"Hehe...you're such a good boy!"
Xiao Yu chuckled and rubbed Xiao Shanguang's clean fur until it was a mess.
This made the little guy bar his teeth and bite his arm.
As a result, the little guy himself started squealing in pain.
After playing around for a while, Xiao Yu finally built a fire and roasted the rabbit.
After a satisfying breakfast, the man and his sable went out hunting again.
"Huh? Why is there a big rock here?" Xiao Yu was about to go out when he suddenly noticed a large rock about one meter in diameter at the entrance to the mountain crevice.
Grayish-brown, and round.
At first glance, it looks like a tortoise shell.
Xiao Yu didn't think much of it; this was a mountain, and it was normal for rocks to fall from the mountain.
He casually kicked the stone turtle away and went out with Little Flash.
After the man and the weasel had been gone for a long time, the stone tortoise was kicked up by Xiao Yu and fell flat on its back.
Suddenly, limbs extended, then the head...
……
In the Yan City base, below the young city lord, there are four other leaders.
Each one of them is at least a sixth-order transcendent being, possessing immense strength.
Early in the morning, a bald, middle-aged man rushed into the city lord's mansion, anxiously reporting, "Your Majesty, the base's water supply is almost exhausted. Without a new water source, our Yan City will be in trouble..."
This person is the third leader of the Yancheng base, responsible for coordinating the distribution of daily living supplies for the base.
In this resource-scarce post-apocalyptic world, every faction is short of water and food!
Yan City is able to support tens of thousands of people because Xiao Yu accidentally discovered a large underground water source.
Purely natural and unpolluted.
The base has been able to develop to this day thanks to this underground water source.
But after so many years, that underground water source is finally almost exhausted.
"Go! Call Xiao Yu over! Tell him to find a new water source immediately!"
Upon hearing this, City Lord Xiao Ting frowned slightly and instinctively roared.
Whenever the Yancheng base encountered a shortage of resources, Xiao Yu was always able to solve the problem in a timely manner.
Therefore, Xiao Ting immediately thought of him.
However, the three leaders remained motionless, looking at him in surprise, shaking their heads and smiling bitterly, "Lord City Lord, have you forgotten? The young city lord, Xiao Yu... he has already left Yan City..."
"What? This unfilial son!"
Xiao Ting then realized what was happening and roared angrily.
Yancheng already had a somewhat strained water supply.
A month ago, Xiao Yu led a team out to collect survival supplies.
As a result, they encountered a horde of ferocious beasts.
Although Xiao Tian brought back food.
However, the water source was contained in individual wooden barrels.
The wooden barrels were trampled to pieces by the horde of ferocious beasts, and the water sources were naturally lost.
This has led to an increasingly strained water supply in Yancheng.
"If he were more capable and brought those water sources back, Yan City wouldn't be in its current predicament!" Xiao Ting frowned and said with dissatisfaction, thinking about the current situation in Yan City.
The three leaders standing nearby were at a loss for words.
Finally, Xiao Ting rubbed his temples and could only say, "When that rebellious son returns, immediately send him to find a water source!"
Having lost the protection of Yan City, Xiao Yu must have been starving for a day and a night.
They won't last long before they have to obediently come back, kowtow, and admit their mistakes.
However, this rebellious son is so disobedient that he deserves to suffer a bit and learn a lesson.
When he comes back, make him find a water source first, then give him a good scolding.
However, the three leaders frowned and said, "Lord City Lord, Xiao Yu has always been very stubborn. This time he said he wanted to leave Yan City, and it doesn't seem like he was lying... I suggest you send someone out to look for him?"
Xiao Yu lacked parental love from a young age and lived a very humble life.
Therefore, as long as you can give him a little bit of sweetness, he should immediately give in and obediently return to the city.
"What did you say? You want me to send someone to find him? No way!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ting's eyes instantly turned cold.
Sending people to find Xiao Yu is tantamount to admitting defeat and making a mistake!
He has a short temper, and even if he knows he's wrong, he'll never admit it.
Besides, he's apologizing to his own son! Isn't that going against the natural order?
"But... how do we solve the water problem for the base?" The third leader immediately became anxious.
In the past, no matter what problems he encountered, Xiao Yu always managed to find a solution.
Therefore, everyone treated him, the young city lord, as a tool.
On the contrary, they treated Xiao Tian with utmost respect.
After all, people tend to overlook the hardworking but resentful, and prefer the mischievous and troublesome.
It wasn't until Xiao Yu actually left that people realized how important he was to Yan City.
Without Xiao Yu, Yan City's current water problem would be very difficult to solve.
"If there isn't enough water, then reduce the water usage of all civilians by half!"
Xiao Ting pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he came up with a good idea.
That underground water source is a small water vein, and there is actually quite a bit of water there.
The reason it was used so quickly is because Yan City is developing too fast and has too many people.
The requirements for recruiting people in Yan City are not low. Apart from mutants and awakened individuals, joining the Yan City Guard allows one to live in Yan City for free.
Ordinary people and enhanced individuals who want to enter the city must pay 10 energy stones every year.
Tens of thousands of people, that's hundreds of thousands of energy stones every year.
Even a Muggle can be turned into a super strong person.
Xiao Ting and Feng Murong are so powerful because they have built up such a huge amount of resources.
In the couple's view, in the apocalypse, having enough power and status is everything!
Now, it seems that there is not enough water.
However, reducing the water consumption of ordinary people by half would still be more than enough.
And these high-ranking officials can still use them however they want.
"What about you and your wife, Lord City Lord? Will you also have your pay halved?" The third leader frowned slightly and asked subconsciously.
In the past, although Xiao Yu could find water sources, they were few and far between, barely enough to make a living.
Ordinary households typically have three or four members, yet they only have one bucket of water per day.
If the amount is halved again, there won't be enough water, let alone enough for washing our bodies.
"What did you say?" Xiao Ting looked at the three leaders in surprise, his pupils narrowing.
"No, no! Your subordinates wouldn't dare!" The three leaders were sweating profusely and shook their heads repeatedly.
"Your Excellency is brilliant! What an ingenious plan! I will carry it out immediately!"
Although these high-ranking officials were well aware of it.
The family that uses the most water in the entire Yan City is the city lord and his family of three.
It has a large swimming pool and a large canopy...
If the family of three could be more frugal, Yancheng wouldn't be so short of water!
However, when faced with this domineering and unreasonable city lord, his will to survive was extremely strong!
Reducing civilians' access to essential supplies is a common tactic used by various bases.
However, with Xiao Yu around before, Yan City never ran out of water, so there was no need to resort to such despicable means.
After all, the common people of Yan City have to pay 10 energy stones every year, which is twice as much as in other cities!
This is an astronomical figure for ordinary people.
This is equivalent to one person having to hunt 10-20 Tier 1 ferocious beasts!
The reason why those commoners were willing to hand over so many crystals was...
This is because City Lord Xiao Ting promised to guarantee their safety and living supplies.
Now that the city lord has gone back on his word, I'm afraid most people won't want to pay next time...
"You don't need to worry too much, that unfilial son will come back obediently soon!"
Seemingly sensing the three leaders' worries, Xiao Ting waved his hand, a smug smile appearing on his lips.
"why?"
"I have instructed Madam to issue a warning that no force is allowed to harbor Xiao Yu!"
"What?" The three leaders stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
The wilderness is fraught with danger, and no one can survive for long!
Even the most powerful beings in the world, such as Xiao Tingfeng and Murong, still need to build cities.
Let alone Xiao Yu being powerless right now, even if he had the strength, he would be unable to move an inch by himself.
He never expected that the city lord would be so ruthless towards his son.
In this way, anyone or any force that dares to take in Xiao Yu will be making an enemy of Yan City!
But if Xiao Yu refuses to submit, does the city lord want him to die outside?
