Chapter 613: Occupied Wano Kingdom (1/2)
"This is a rat problem? How can there be so many rats!"
Countless rats make people feel frightened, densely packed, and launch a frantic attack on people. Even a powerful samurai cannot resist the attack of so many violent rats.
Moreover, the number of samurai in Wano country is only a few tenths, and most of them are ordinary residents.
The entire Wano country was completely plunged into riots. For a time, the entire General's Mansion and all the famous mansions were in turmoil.
Rat infestation is very scary.
But on the sea, in such a unique environment, although there are rodents, they are relatively few.
Even if there has been a rat infestation, the scale is small and can be easily resolved.
And the rat infestation in Wano, the secret cultivation of the world government, and the strong reproductive capacity, the entire Wano country has accumulated a huge number of rats.
It is a huge amount that has not been seen in hundreds of years.
Everything came too suddenly. Crazy mice broke into the area where the residents of Wano Kingdom lived, attacked the people of Wano Kingdom, biting their bodies, and the blood irritated them even more.
The terrifying mice came rushing in like a river, and the sound of "squeak" was as harsh as the chirping of insects.
The entire Wano country fell in the terrifying rat tide. In a short period of time, I don't know how many people sacrificed, died, and were swallowed by the rats.
The number of hundreds of thousands is relatively small.
The villages on the fringe, the small towns were swallowed up immediately, leaving behind withered bones all over the place.
Some swordsmen fell into the frenzied attacks of mice.
Even if every powerful samurai shot, it was still difficult to contain the attack of the rat tide.
How many mice can one slash kill?
In the rat tide is just a drop in the ocean.
Instead, his physical strength was exhausted first.
Moreover, rats have a strong reproductive ability, and they can continue to riot. After the outbreak of the rat tide, they plundered a lot of resources, and their reproductive ability was further strengthened.
We must find a way to contain it, otherwise the rat tide will only get stronger and stronger until it destroys the entire Wano country.
The effects of the chemicals sprayed by the World Government will persist.
If there is no rodent infestation, where will the plague come from?
There is no such thing as a city wall in the towns of Wano. In the face of endless rats, the towns are completely undefended, allowing rats to invade.
At this time, even if you want to build a wall, it is too late. In the first time, the flower capital was invaded.
The samurai kept moving, traversing the streets and alleys, killing the mice they saw.
In the streets, mice and even inside the house, mice are more comfortable than them.
It's too hard for the samurai to deal with the mice, and it's okay to let them fight head-on, but this kind of work just consumes energy.
Tens of thousands of warriors acted together, some of them protected the capital of flowers and cleaned up the mice that came, and some of them, under the leadership of the strong, went to some occupied villages and towns to see if they could save some people back.
"Boom!"
The powerful overlord color was released, and within a huge range, all the mice were knocked unconscious at the first time.
The terrifying aura made these mice feel frightened and fled one after another. Even if they became violent, they still had the instinct to survive.
That is the terror of the strong.
Ordinary powerhouses may be fearless, but in front of Kozuki Oden, everything is nothing.
At the moment of being stunned, countless slashes came directly, and a large number of mice were killed.
After a period of slaughter, these samurai also mastered some skills.
Headed by Kozuki Oden, all the samurai were very embarrassed, their eyes were bloodshot, and they hadn't had a good rest for days and nights.
Whether it is physical exhaustion or mental exhaustion.
Facing these rats, Wano Country has no better way than violence.
"How are the residents?" After dealing with a group of mice, Kozuki Oden turned his head and asked the samurai on the side.
"There are countless casualties." The samurai on the side looked a little bitter. "The threat of rat infestation is difficult to remove. We reacted too late. Except for Linghou, which is relatively safe due to the cold weather, the rest of the place has been invaded by these rats."
"The vast majority of the Wano country doesn't care at all. Just in the capital of flowers, according to rough statistics, the number of people who died is as high as 50,000."
"The most important thing to do at the moment is to relocate the residents to Linghou, so that the attack of mice can be avoided in Linghou, and we can also let go of our hands to clean up these mice."
"The important thing is, why did the rat infestation break out? It has never happened before, and it was too sudden. It must have been planned by someone with a heart."
As soon as these words came out, the warriors around could guess what he was talking about. The only one who could do such a thing unknowingly was the World Government.
"Damn it!" Kozuki Oden got angry.
As the general of Wano country, he knows how bad the current situation of Wano country is.
Basically, each area can't be connected, and you can only check the situation through the phone bug.
With less than 200,000 warriors, it is difficult to solve the rat infestation, let alone provide support to other places in time, and they have not completed the cleaning of major towns.
After estimates, the entire Wano country has suffered more than one million casualties in just one week. Many villages and small towns have lost contact and are completely destroyed. Even if there are some powerful samurai, in addition to dying in battle, At most, only a few people can escape.
Such casualties are unimaginable for Wano Country.
Fortunately, due to the popularity of telephone bugs, it is possible to communicate in a timely manner. The residents of various regions and countries are evacuated uniformly, and they are evacuated to the areas where the daimingfu and the general's residence are guarded by strong force.
Reiko and Nozomi were evacuated to a lesser extent of the rat infestation. Wano Country is an island of four seasons. Reiko represents winter, which is covered with snow and ice all year round.
Nozomi, on the other hand, is the most desolate place in Wano.
What made the situation even worse was that the casualties were second. A large number of rats had already eaten all the food in Wano, and the farmland had turned into wasteland, even the fruit trees were not spared.
Those beasts disappeared and were killed by rats.
The entire Wano country has fallen into a famine of food shortages. If there is not a lot of food, more people will starve to death.
As for rat meat, it is inedible at all. It is one thing to taste unpleasant. Ordinary people will suffer from diarrhea after eating rat meat, unless they are physically strong.
In order to solve the problem, Wano country began to buy food from the outside world, using samurai swords and sea floor stones, hoping to use food to solve the current food shortage problem in Wano country.
How much food is needed for millions of people? There are simply not many forces that can withstand it.
It can be said that in the New World, apart from a few big countries, the only people who can do this are the Dark Night Pirates.
It was also the Dark Night Pirates who contacted Wano Country, and the Dark Night Pirates agreed, and naturally they also signed a lot of agreements.
The food that can support the entire Wano country is not a small amount, but the Wano country has sufficient supplies and was once called the country of gold, and the reserves of treasures are very considerable.
At this time, Wano country can only use these instead, and Hailou stone.
However, the delivery of food takes a little time, and more people die every night and one day.
I don't know how long this rat plague will last. Don't know how to fix it.
Bai Wu, a port town, has now become an important place in the country of Wano. The food crisis has appeared. Before the food of the Dark Night Pirates is delivered, it can only be barely supported by some transactions.
A large number of Wano residents gathered here, and on the streets, many people fell to the ground with hunger, and their mourning continued.
Some residents also had rat bites.
Wano's agricultural system has completely collapsed, and a few boats have been sent out to fish, but how many people can survive with the fish caught?
There was no way, the predicament could not be solved for the time being. Ships carrying Wano's residents left Wano and went outside to settle down on some outside islands.
After all, staying in Wano Country is no different from waiting for death.
Earlier, there were already many residents of Wano who actively wanted to escape from Wano, but it was easier to survive outside.
The ships are constantly going back and forth, transporting goods and transferring the residents of Wano.
Now, the strategy for the high-level officials of Wano Kingdom is to transfer the citizens of Wano Kingdom first, reduce casualties, and then transfer these citizens of Wano Kingdom back after the rat infestation has been completely solved.
Otherwise, as the rat infestation continues, Wano's casualties will only increase.
This is also to reduce casualties. After all, in just a few days, the total casualties have reached a terrifying level.
Even the transfer is very slow. Wano country has six ports. Even if there are leased ships, if a port transfers 10,000 people at a time, then Wano country can only transfer up to 60,000 people at a time.
And sailing on the sea, a round trip can take several days.
In this way, it will take at least a few months to transfer the entire Wano country.
With the help of the Night Pirates, the transfer speed would definitely be much faster.
The Dark Night Pirates promised to give food to Wano Kingdom. In order to provide better food and reduce costs, the area where the residents of Wano Kingdom live is the dark night sea area.
For the Dark Night Pirates, it is no problem for them to place millions of people, but there is also a lot of pressure.
There are only close to 3 million people left in Wano Country now, and it is possible that only 2 million people will be left in the end.
When Wano Country thought about asking for help from the outside world, it was already a little late, and only thought about solving the problem when it found out, and did not anticipate what might happen in advance.
If it had been a few days earlier, the situation in Wano Country would probably have been better.
Redyat personally took action and brought a batch of food, and he couldn't solve the urgent need at all. Through the transaction between Bai Wu and external forces, only Bai Wu could get the food.
All areas have basically lost contact. At this time, they regretted why they only opened Bai Wu, so that other areas could not get effective support.
The efficiency of the operation of the Dark Night Pirates was very high. As soon as the agreement was reached, a huge fleet and two island battleships were dispatched.
In this way, a few round trips can transfer all the residents of Wano Country. Of course, it depends on whether some residents can persist until that time.
The people inside Wano are in a panic, the threat of life, the ugliness of human nature begins to show in despair, and a little food will cause everyone to compete.
Many people even died at the hands of their own people.
Food was given priority to the high-ranking samurai and nobles, which also sparked conflicts within Wano, but they were basically suppressed by powerful force.
Due to the long distance, a large amount of the food delivered has to be supplied to the residents of Wano who left, and the days on the ship also need food to maintain, and it is impossible to rely only on seafood.
"The world government has taken action."
"Definitely." The Dark Night Pirates, Mostima nodded, no doubt about this.
"I didn't expect it to be such a method. It seems that the country of Wano will not be able to recover in a few decades. It is possible in a hundred years."
Having said that, Mostima couldn't help feeling a little emotional, such an operation is really too cruel.
A terrifying rat infestation was created artificially.
