honor me as god

Chapter 524

The supervisor was hijacked by Ma Ban from behind, and he couldn't turn his head back, and he couldn't see Ma Ban's expression now. He could only vaguely feel the breathing behind him become more stable.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Ban's voice sounded faintly, telling about his past: "You were born in the rich Danyu City, but I am different. I grew up in a barren village, where the environment is barren and the economy is sluggish. I grew up I haven’t eaten much, and I know better than anyone what it’s like to be hungry.”

"When I was 6 years old, there was a severe drought in the village, and the infertile fields were devoid of harvests, and there was a famine for half a year. I can guarantee that you, who grew up in Danyu City, have never seen what famine is like. .”

"It was a hell on earth. Those who died died forever, and those who survived had no dignity. It was not uncommon for children to be sold. Children who hadn't grown up were exchanged like animals for cooking with each other. Every family in the village died. So many people died on the road, but they couldn’t even see the bones, because they were all eaten by the hungry victims.”

"In order to keep me alive, my parents cut and fed me every day. Cut here and there until there was no more meat to cut, and finally died in front of me. They used their own blood and flesh as food. survived the famine."

"Since then, I have realized one thing - the most basic and important thing in this world is food. Food is the source of power for marching and fighting, it is the necessities of people's life, and it is also the foundation for a country to maintain its rule cornerstone."

"Without food, no army, no matter how powerful, can't fight a war, no people, no matter how wealthy, can survive, and maintaining the rule is even more nonsense."

"So, when I grew up, I devoted myself to the farmland. I followed the farmers to learn the characteristics of crops and how to farm. I turned my back to the loess and faced the sky. Later, I was fortunate enough to be favored by Lord Lan Xian. I went to school to learn more profound agricultural knowledge. After graduation, I cultivated In a corner of the town, he finally became the food officer of Danyu City."

"For me, fame and glory are not important. I only care about one thing—whether the people have enough to eat. People who can eat enough to eat are human beings, and those who cannot eat enough to eat are animals. I want They are human beings, I don't want them to be animals."

"You ask me why I risked beheading to open the gate to release the flood? Because saving one more storehouse of food can save thousands of people from becoming animals. As long as everyone can live with dignity and die, I am a numb What about the blob?"

After the supervisor finished listening, he slowly closed his eyes, only the sound of the Qingjiang River flowing around him.

After a brief silence, the supervisor opened his eyes again, his eyes were clear, and he said silently: "You are looking for death, I can't stop it. It is you who hijacked me, not me taking the initiative to help you."

With gratitude in Ma Ban's eyes, he gave a heavy "yes" and walked towards the embankment hub with the director hostage.

At the junction, the dike guards were whispering about the flames in the city. When they saw Ma Ban holding the supervisor hostage with a knife and a little beggar behind him, they were frightened, drew their weapons in a hurry, and surrounded them from all directions.

Ma Ban pointed at the guard with a knife, and then stood in front of the supervisor, sternly shouting: "Get out of the way! Whoever dares to stop, I will cut his throat!"

The guards looked at the supervisor in bewilderment: "My lord?"

The supervisor looked weak and didn't bother to say anything.

"Boom!" At this moment, the beggar next to him punched the supervisor in the side, and said to the guards with a fierce face: "Why don't you get out of here? Otherwise, I will kill him!"

The beggar's punch was extremely heavy, and it hit the weak point. The supervisor almost lost control of the pain, his face turned pale, and he stared at the beggar with wide eyes, as if to say: Are you serious? !
The beggar stared back secretly, the meaning in his eyes was: How can you really convince them if you don't come?
When the guards saw that the supervisor was in pain, they had runny noses. They were afraid that the lord would be beaten to death. They couldn't bear the crime of dereliction of duty, so they hurriedly let him go.

In this way, the three of them successfully entered the embankment junction room, locked the door, and pushed tables and chairs to block it.

Turning around, a huge and complex gear device appeared in front of him. This is a mechanical bearing designed by the alchemist of the Heqi family. It has more than a dozen metal control rods, which are respectively connected to the gates of the embankment, controlling the water flow of the Qingjiang River and Danyu City. Peripheral floods and droughts.

The supervisor had already slowed down, and first gave the beggar a kick to retaliate, and then pointed to the control lever in the center of the console: "The middle, the longest one, is the control lever of Gate No. [-]. Only Gate No. It can completely submerge the northern part of Danyu City, the water surface should only be above the knees of adults, no matter children or old people, there will be no danger to their lives."

It has to be said that this water level is a good balance point. It will neither threaten the safety of personnel, but also flood the eight granaries in Beicheng. Increase efficiency to a certain extent.

"Thank you." Ma Ban didn't say anything pretentious, let go of the supervisor, and walked over to prepare to pull the switch.

Suddenly, the supervisor stepped forward to hold Ma Ban's hand, and asked deeply: "Have you really thought about it? If you don't open the gate, you can stay out of the matter, and there is no need for any responsibility. Open the gate, and you will have half a foot in the coffin." .”

Without any hesitation, Ma Ban nodded heavily.

The supervisor didn't say anything more, let go of his hand, and pointed to the side of his face: "Punch it, be quick."

Ma Ban immediately gathered all her strength and slammed her fist on the supervisor's face, knocking him to the ground and falling into a coma.

Ma Madara once again said "thank you" to the comatose supervisor, then walked to the console and looked at the lever of the No. [-] gate
It is impossible not to be nervous at this fateful moment. Many images flashed in Ma Ban's mind, thinking of his parents cutting up meat to feed him, thinking of the forest and countryside full of hunger, and thinking of those who died starving people for animals
Food.
People eat for food.

As long as the granary can be saved, what does death matter?

Mama took a deep breath and reached for the lever.
"Boom!" Without warning, before he touched the lever, he was hit hard on the back of the head.

The darkness flooded his vision, and Ma Ban fell to the ground uncontrollably. He looked behind him in astonishment and found that the beggar was holding a chair in his hand.

In Mama's blurred vision, the beggar stepped over his body, stood in front of the console, and reached out to hold the lever.

The beggar turned his head and grinned at Ma Ban: "I didn't want to die at first, but I think that if there are more people like you in the kingdom, everyone's life will be better, and so will beggars like me." Fewer and fewer."

"Master Ma Madara, I can see that you are a person with ideals, so don't waste your life here. Let me, an insignificant little person like me, do it for you."

"You must climb up, and then decide for the people!"

Ma Madara's vision was shrouded in darkness, and just before his consciousness disappeared, he heard the sound of a lever being pulled by his ear.

"Crack—boom!"

open the gate!flood discharge!
