Yi pushed Ji Xun into the tent. The stove was warm, and after drinking some tea, Ji Xun's face looked better.

He coughed quietly to suppress the itch in his throat.

"City Lord, why didn't you tell City Lord Jiang about your relapse? She has healing powers, maybe she can..."

Before Yi could finish her words, Ji Xun stopped her.

"You go down."

The servant hesitated to speak and sighed. The city lord was good in every way except being stubborn.

After she left, the tent became quiet, the stove light was dim, and half of Ji Xun's body was hidden in the dark.

He put his bony hand on his thigh, pressing extremely hard, but his body felt no sensation at all.

"waste."

His usually gentle voice became extremely cold, and his tone contained extreme disgust for himself.

With such a broken body, how could he be worthy of Jiang Run?

......

City C had just experienced a great war, and some people were cleaning up the corpses, and some were cleaning up the battlefield.

Many people's relatives died last night, and they gathered together to mourn. The city was in turmoil and people were in panic.

And in the center of City C, the atmosphere was terribly depressing.

"City Lord, the granary is empty."

"A can of reagent was also taken away."

The old man sitting in the main seat had an angry look on his face and a gloomy brow. "If you can't even do this little thing, what's the point of keeping it."

The man reporting below turned pale, but didn't dare to say anything more. "Yes."

"The existing food can only last for ten days at most. Next..."

Before the man finished speaking, a gaze like a venomous snake fell on him, causing him to shiver.

"No food? There are rations everywhere in the city."

A chill slowly crept up my back. What did City Lord Ji mean?

He was in charge of the food in the city, and he knew very well that there was no surplus food in the city.

The rations that Ji Wenshi mentioned can only be... people.

The man returned home in a daze, and his wife and daughter surrounded him, "How is it? Did the city lord make things difficult for you?"

Huang Cheng looked at his helpless family members, and thought of Ji Wenshi's words, and a look of despair appeared on his face.

"There is no way out, there is no way out..."

Huang Cheng's wife was frightened by his reaction. "What happened? Tell me quickly."

The little daughter also cried out in helplessness.

"There is no food left. I am afraid we will have to eat humans in the future..."

Huang Cheng's wife heard his mutterings and suddenly felt dizzy.

eat human?

Aren’t the only people who can eat in the entire city of C the women, children and the young?!

"Then, what about our daughter?"

"Cheng, please think of a solution!"

Huang Cheng collapsed, holding his head and shouting in grief and anger, "What can I do?!"

"I'm just a mid-level psychic. What can I use to fight others?!"

"Wait for death, only wait for death..."

I never thought that the most powerful of the four major bases, City C, would fall into a disadvantage just overnight.

Without any support, they become victims of the power struggle.

"Let's escape from City C, Nannan's father."

Huang Cheng came back to his senses from his chaotic emotions and realized that he couldn't escape.

However, there seems to be another way to go.

"Wife, I've figured out a solution."

"Nannan! Daddy will definitely protect you."

"Honey, what's the solution? Is it dangerous?"

A few months ago, someone bribed him. If he guessed correctly, that person was Ji Xun's man.

As long as he joins Ji Xun's forces, he might be able to save his family.

"Wife, don't ask anymore. The less you know, the safer you will be."
