Fey Evolution Merchant Novel - Chapter 2104
2104 Do Your Best to Continue Surviving!
What could be more important at such a time?
From Luo Lan’s perspective, she would benefit more if she attacked Luo Cai now.
Now, all the tribe members were stuck in the sea of flowers while Luo Cai was seated firmly in the imperial court.
Luo Lan had to ruin Luo Cai’s image and expose his sins in order to take back the throne.
While everyone was guessing what Luo Lan was thinking, what she said next stunned them all.
“I have rations that will sate your hunger. Pay attention! Do your best to continue surviving before I get to you!”
She started to call out the names of the Black Gold and Platinum tribes’ leaders’ names. Once she had called out almost 100 names, she said in a woeful voice, “Your lives are the most precious things to the Iron Hammer Federation! The people who I just called out are the leaders of the Black Gold and Platinum tribes. I hope that you will disseminate the rations as quickly as possible during this time of suffering.”
The leaders whose names had been called out by Luo Lan looked touched.
She had made it clear that the lives of the Iron Hammer Federation’s tribe members were more important to her than getting her revenge on Luo Cai.
At that moment, she lived up to exactly the image they had formed of her in the past.
When all of them were helpless, she had appeared like a goddess and promised to give them enough rations to ensure all their survival.
Her words had given all of them renewed hope, and many of their dimmed eyes lit up in an instant.
In order for them to be the leaders of Black Gold and Platinum tribes, they had to have reached king-class at least, and it was easy for them to fly at low altitudes.
The leaders of the Black Gold and Platinum tribes flew up to Luo Lan and bowed to her.
Luo Lan did not give them a chance to offer pleasantries and started handing out the Item-Storing Walnuts filled with the Soldier Ration Radishes.
“You can pluck off a leaf to taste for yourselves! Each person only needs to be given one leaf, and they’ll be full of energy for the next week. Once everyone is full, I’ll take you out of the sea of flowers. I am giving you these Item-Storing Walnuts because I trust you. What you do with them will determine the future of the Iron Hammer Federation. Form pairs and ensure that the leaves are quickly handed out to the tribe members!
“I’m sure you know that if you hand them out slowly or if any tribe procures too many leaves, the consequences will be calamitous! You can deal as you see fit with any tribe member who tries to selfishly hog the leaves and refuses to pass them down. Time is of the essence. Go now!”
Ever since Luo Lan received the Item-Storing Walnuts containing the Soldier Ration Radishes from Lin Yuan, she had been trying to come up with the best way to distribute the resources.
After mulling over the issue, she decided that the fastest way would be to trust the Black Gold and Platinum tribes to distribute the rations.
If she could not even trust her own people at such a time, there would be no future for the Iron Hammer Federation.
She had also set up a failsafe by asking them to form pairs. This would allow them to keep each other in check and prevent any one person from occupying too many of the Solder Ration Radishes.
Frankly, she should not have told the crowd that she could solve their hunger because this would immediately cause a commotion to flare up.
However, she truly hoped that these people who had already given up would be able to endure and find the courage to continue surviving.
When one was in a desperate situation, their willpower could carry them far and enable them to find the strength to keep living.
This was not a joke, as Luo Lan herself had experienced it.
When she had been floating down the river, feeling the iciness of the water penetrating her starving body, she would have eventually become a corpse floating on the surface of the river.
However, she had managed to enter the meeting amongst the constellations. With the Astronomical Parliament as her hope, she managed to boost her spirits enough to carry on.
Luo Lan did not say how she wanted to disseminate the rations. Thus, the people at the edges were trying their best to squeeze toward the center.
Luo Lan looked at the seemingly endless ocean of people and knew that it would be a colossal task to give out the Soldier Ration Radishes. At the very least, it would take close to a day.
Normal people could not even stand going hungry for a day, and much less, people from the tribes who had already gone hungry for an unimaginable amount of time.
The current arrangement was the best one that Luo Lan could have made. She did not have any better ideas.
Faced with a lack of manpower and people dropping like flies at the edges, all Luo Lan could do was watch and feel helpless.
The leaders of the Black Gold and Platinum tribes Luo Lan had called out first thought that the Item-Storing Walnuts contained the Usnea, just like she did when she saw the vines.
However, she did not appear to be joking.
Each of the leaders of the Black Gold and Platinum tribes pulled out a branch and plucked out a leaf.
At the instant that the leaves entered their mouths, they started to tremble with excitement.
Luo Lan’s miraculous discovery had indeed brought new hope to the Iron Hammer Federation.
The leaders of the tribes chattered excitedly, “First Princess! We definitely won’t let your efforts go to waste!”
After bowing to Luo Lan, the leaders of the tribes immediately returned to their own tribes and started distributing the Soldier Ration Radishes’ vines.
They ensured that each of their tribes received ten vines before handing down the rest of the leaves.
In an instant, a green light spread out from the 500-meter-tall statue.
Every area that could be reached by the green light was suddenly brimming with life.
The least concrete thing in the world was human nature.
The green light would definitely be stopped at some point.
Nonetheless, the experts from the Black Gold and Platinum tribes kept their promise to Luo Lan.
If there was even a hint of bloodshed or congestion, they would be removed to make way for the green light.
Before, Luo Lan did not rejoice at the appearance of the green light or grieve for those who had to be put down because she knew that she had more important things to do.
