The Thunder God Novel - Chapter 482
Chapter 482 Food Crisis (2)
Meetings. Although Lei Xingfeng hated meetings very much, his position now required a meeting. At the very least, he had to assign tasks.
He gathered his subordinates and found an open space. Lei Xingfeng and the ten Lord sat on chairs, while the three hundred plus Jiuhuan Daoist sat on the ground.
“Let me introduce myself,” said Lei Xingfeng. “I’m Lei Xingfeng. You guys introduce yourselves.” He was referring to Lord. As for Jiuhuan Daoist, forget it. More than three hundred people would introduce themselves one by one. They would be annoying, and they wouldn’t even remember it.
Xin Zhaolun continued, “Xin Zhaolun.”
“Tan Kai,” said a Lord beside him. Her extremely thin and slender body seemed to be able to blow away in a gust of wind.
“Bi Dalin.” Those who were thrown into the crowd and would never be found had no special features at all.
“Chen Yuhu.” He had a papaya face and had no expression at all.
“An Ruqing.” This was a Nuzhen Monarch.
“Fei Nan.” A super fat man was indeed a fat man.
“Green Wolf.” It didn’t look like a name, but rather a nickname. It looked very tough.
“Bai Yurun, nickname Bai Bai.” She was a very charming woman, and she even gave Lei Xingfeng a charming look.
“Hammer!” His voice was loud and clear. He was a giant man over two meters tall.
“Little hammer!” Lord, who was only 1.5 meters tall, then said, “Hammer and I are brothers.” His voice was sharp and thin, in sharp contrast to the hammer.
Someone let out a chuckle. The hammer and the little hammer glared at each other angrily, as if they were going to fight.
Lei Xingfeng clapped his hands and said, “Alright, everyone will slowly get familiar with it. Now that we have assigned tasks, there are thirteen Mystery Sect in this area. Our task is to prevent fights, prevent civil strife, and, most importantly, maintain the stability of the camp.”
“What if there’s a fight?” Blue Wolf said coldly.
Lei Xingfeng said, “Whoever fights will be killed. There’s nothing to say.”
Blue Wolf nodded and stopped talking.
Lei Xingfeng continued, “Each of you bring 30 Daoists. The rest of you, follow me. Our area is that big. Let’s see how we can arrange patrols later. Also, we need to communicate with Mystery Sect in our area and obtain the support of the higher-ups in Mystery Sect.” This was something that had to be done. Otherwise, once someone challenged them, if they killed someone, they would attract the opposition of the upper echelons of Mystery Sect. If they were to speak in front of them, they would be very passive if they were not dealt with properly.
The hammer said, “Does the patrol want food? I’m out of food!”
Lei Xingfeng remembered that the natives of Hanya Castle looked the same, and even had the same name. “Our patrol’s food was arranged by the higher-ups. There shouldn’t be any problem eating it,” he said.
The hammer said in a low voice, “That’s good, I have no objections.” It was good to have food, which made Lei Xingfeng feel a little intimate.
Bai Yurun said coquettishly, “Lord Lei …”
Lei Xingfeng’s hair stood on end in an instant. This voice was too sweet. He secretly muttered in his heart, “Can’t you talk properly?” He said, “What?”
Bai Yurun continued, “Lord Lei, can you arrange for me to patrol during the day? If it’s night … it will affect my sleep. I’m getting old quickly …”
Lei Xingfeng knew that this kind of woman could not be provoked, so he nodded and said, “Yes, you and An Ruqing have arranged to patrol during the day.”
Bai Yurun said, “Then thank you, my lord … Hehe.”
Many people, including Jiuhuan Daoist, who was sitting below, couldn’t help but tremble. This woman was a disaster.
Of the 300 plus Jiuhuan Daoist, the majority were males, and very few were females. About 50 of them were assigned to various teams. After all, when they were on patrol, it would be easy for them to deal with matters involving women in the patrol team as long as there were females in the patrol team.
Ten Lord chose their own team members. If there were cultivators who liked beauties, they would join Bai Yurun and An Ruqing’s team. If there were teams who liked violence, they would mostly choose Blue Wolf and Hammer. Soon, ten patrol teams were formed.
Lei Xingfeng arranged three shifts, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening. As for the trivial matters, they were all thrown to his subordinates. He was not interested in taking care of them. Unless something big happened, he would not come forward. He had around a dozen Jiuhuan Daoist with him. They were responsible for delivering food from the headquarters in Mystery Sect, and the food was specially distributed to the patrol team.
After all, he was an expert at the Heavenly Monarch level. In Mystery Sect, the Heavenly Monarch was basically an ancestor-level figure. Lord was the pillar of strength, and the Daolord was the strategic force. Of course, Lei Xingfeng did not need to be like Lord. This was the advantage of being strong. The so-called official’s mouth moved, and the soldier’s leg broke. He enjoyed this kind of treatment very much.
Originally, Lei Xingfeng still wanted to train this patrol team, but Wu Yang’s words dispelled his thoughts. Once a war broke out, these people would be taken away very quickly. Even he himself would have to go to the battlefield, so it was fine to think about it.
Lei Xingfeng quietly returned to the Mirror Realm. He didn’t expect Wu Yang, Gao Ye, Lei Bao, Feng Chen Sect, Yu Kou, and Qi Mei Yun to be there. The table was full of food. Big Fatty Jin ran forward with sweat all over his head. Teng Yuan also followed. Two big fatties served a group of food.
Lei Xingfeng was surprised, “Holy shit, all of you are hiding here and eating!” He immediately rushed to the table. Before he could sit down, he picked up a sauce elbow and ate it in large mouthfuls. “The food in the camp is getting worse and worse, and the quantity is getting smaller and smaller. Sigh, it’s better to stay at home.”
Rice and dough pancakes were all served in wooden barrels. There were all kinds of dishes. Thinking about the food in the camp, it was pig food.
Not only was there roasted chicken and duck on the table, there were also large chunks of roasted beef, and there were even a few big braised fish. A large plate of river shrimp was the thickness of a thumb and the length of a palm.
A few plates of jade-green stir-fried vegetables were the object of everyone’s competition. The head of the chopsticks was like raindrops, and their movements were slightly slower. A plate of vegetables disappeared cleanly. This was no longer eating vegetables, but snatching vegetables. Without some speed, there was simply nothing to be eaten.
Big Fatty Jin kept saying, “Slow down, slow down. There are plenty of dishes, but it’s too late …”
Wu Yang said, “Big Fatty, you’ve worked hard!”
Gao Ye’s mouth was full of vegetables, and he vaguely said, “It’s hard, hard …”
Everyone thanked him one by one. Big Fatty Jin smiled happily. His current strength was average, but his status in the hearts of everyone was not bad.
This meal was enjoyable. Everyone touched their stomachs. They straightened their waists and gasped for breath. Even Wu Yang was no exception. Cultivators rarely ate too much. Even if they ate too much, they would recover very quickly. However, in the campsite, they were truly aggrieved. They ate too badly. Even if they ate well, they could not openly lay out their food. That would cause public indignation.
So he had to secretly come back to eat. Lei Xingfeng had someone bring a basin and let everyone wash their faces and rinse their mouths. Then he said, “Grandmaster, I wonder how long we’ll be staying there.”
Wu Yang sighed and said, “The Daojun have already quarreled. We haven’t decided yet. We have to wait for the scouts to return.”
Gao Ye said, “Why are you arguing?”
Among them, Wu Yang had the most connections, so he received a lot of information. He said, “No one thought of the problem. Food, Patriarch Daojun’s large secret door, food is also insufficient. It is impossible to supply all the secret doors. The amount of food provided is enough to cause controversy, and quarreling is not impossible.”
Lei Xingfeng said worriedly, “Right now, there is no power to search for food. We can’t go back to the original continent to collect food, can we?”
Wu Yang said, “You’re right. Daojun suggested sending a few Daojun back to collect food. However, the cost is too high.”
Lei Xingfeng knew that this required a large amount of materials. This wasn’t like the Mirror Realm, so he could go back directly. However, according to Lei Xingfeng’s calculations, once they broke through into the inner continent of the outer space, it would probably be very difficult for them to go back. They needed to transit through this continent until now.
Actually, even though the secret door of the Mirror Realm was useful, it still consumed a certain amount of energy, especially long-distance teleportation. As for traveling from the camp to the Mirror Realm, it didn’t cost any energy.
“My patrol team is getting harder and harder to get food,” Gao Ye said. “Every time I go to get food, there’s always a fight. Sometimes I want to shake my hands and quit. It’s annoying.”
Wu Yang said, “Are you willing to scout?”
Gao Ye said, “I’m not going. That thing is very dangerous. Although I’m not afraid, I won’t work for those people.”
Wu Yang said, “Then bear with it. We’ll just wait slowly. It’s not like you lack food and drink.”
Jin Dapang and Teng Yuan commanded a group of people to come out. Each of them was holding a big wooden bucket in their hands. Jin Dapang smiled and said, “The dry rations for everyone, all kinds of stewed meat, roasted chicken, duck, and biscuits. Forget about the rice. It’s not delicious when it’s cold.”
Teng Yuan said, “There are all kinds of pickled vegetables and dried bacon. Anyway, everyone keeps them and doesn’t have time to come back to eat. This is enough.”
Lei Xingfeng asked, “Fatty, do you have the skeleton of a bull?”
Jin Dapang said, “Yes, there are a lot of skeletons. Apart from cooking soup, there are still quite a few left.”
Lei Xingfeng said, “Pack it up and give me some dried vegetables, mushrooms, dried bamboo shoots and the like. By the way, do you have any organs from the bull?”
“Yes, yes,” said Jin Dapang. “My organs have already been stewed. There are a lot of them. There are very few people who eat them. I’m still worried about how to deal with them.”
Lei Xingfeng smiled and said, “Chop it up for me and get me some barrels of salt.”
Jin Dapang agreed and immediately instructed his men to do it. He had now trained a group of his subordinates. They basically didn’t do any chores, so they would personally cook only if they were interested.
After tidying up, Lei Xingfeng said, “Alright, I’ll go back first. I can’t leave for too long.”
Wu Yang and the others were also prepared to leave.
… … … …
When Lei Xingfeng returned to his cabin, he heard the noise outside.
Lei Xingfeng walked out of the room and asked, “What’s going on?”
