Chapter 060: Relief and Divine Manifestation
"First, recruit some of their small leaders, and then make unified arrangements and distribute food."
Colin began to try to contact these refugees. He knew before that most of them were in groups, and there were obviously some leaders.
If you really want to initiate relief efforts, it is best to start with these people, convince them, and then reach out to the refugees behind them through them. This is the only way to provide effective rescue.
Otherwise, trying to rescue everyone at once would surely cause chaos.
Moreover, Colin set the number of people in the initial rescue group at around 1,000. He would rescue these people first, and then use food to lure them to "share" the good things here with other people .
In this way, the goal of "rescuing first and then leading to rescue later" and making it public can be achieved.
Of course, this is the advice that Tang Ken gave to himself.
Colin intends to follow.
However, the people who selected the refugees had to be selected. At his suggestion, Colin asked some soldiers who were originally stationed outside the city to pick them out.
These people have been guarding the area all year round and understand the refugee group better than anyone else.
Before long, a group of refugees were selected from the crowd. Perhaps because of their higher status, they looked obviously better off than the other refugees.
Although he was dressed like a refugee, he did not look very miserable. He was wearing a lot of tattered, gray, rag-like clothes.
At this moment, they did not dare to look directly at Colin and stood by in fear and trepidation.
"If you hadn't mentioned refugees, I would have thought they were the Beggars' Sect..."
Colin grumbled in his heart, and then said that he would promise to distribute bread to everyone, but only those who were sincere enough could receive the gift of food.
Then, he randomly picked a dozen "sincere people" and distributed several truckloads of bread to them on the spot.
When a group of refugees saw this scene, they were stunned - are they serious?
In the past, there would occasionally be some kind-hearted “masters”, but they would just say empty words and not give anything, to trick them into going mining. Although they would indeed have something to eat, they would be more likely to be exhausted to death.
Unexpectedly, this person started to distribute food right away...
Looking at the horse-drawn carriages loaded with black bread parked nearby, some people who were not "sincere" enough had tears in their eyes.
"Thank you, sir! Praise you, sir! I will go back and ask the people in our tribe to come over..."
"Me too, praise you sir..."
"Sweet holy water! Crispy bread!"
Colin listened to these people's praises, nodded with a smile on his face.
The bread was naturally the kind of black bread that made him want to vomit after eating it, and the "holy water" was a concentrated liquid that Duncan brought with him, which tasted sweet after being added to the well water.
Compared to Ke Lin and Li Ming, Duncan obviously understood better what kind of food should be brought out.
So in addition to the basic dry food for a few days, he also brought several bottles of the most important things - concentrated liquids made from various nutritional supplements and highly concentrated syrup.
The refugee representatives who were lacking in sugar and nutrients felt their body functions replenished immediately after taking a sip, as if they had gained strength all of a sudden. They immediately thought that this was holy water blessed by the gods, and fell in love with the scientific taste of this cheap dietary fiber plus a large amount of vitamins mixed with concentrated syrup and then diluted with water.
When you take a sip, all you get in your stomach is technology and hard work!
Of course, there are some discordant voices among the praises.
"You must be sent by the Saint of Light to save us. I knew it. I knew it. Praise you, praise the Saint."
Uh, Saint? Why don't you thank nature for the gift?
There was a hint of embarrassment in Colin's smile, as he felt that part of the credit had been taken away from him for no apparent reason.
However, it was not the first time that he heard the title of "Saint". It seemed that most of the time it referred to the current saint of the "Light Church", a legendary living saint.
She seems to have a good reputation among the middle and lower class groups.
However, according to the information obtained from Helena's guards, this living saint is currently in the most terrifying magic fog disaster in the south.
No one knows whether she is dead or alive...
Colin didn't care much about it. After thinking about it for a moment, he asked these people to take some bread back and bring people to get food.
Then, he looked at some other people who were not so "sincere":
"If you want to get food, you still have a chance."
“You must tell more people and spread my name and my kindness.”
"I will bring you bread and water flowing with honey..."
“Go, let more people know that the world is not hopeless. I will bring food to fill their stomachs and bring true kindness.”
"but !"
Colin spoke in a serious tone when he came to this point, and seeing this, Don Ken beside him hurriedly and quietly lit a basin of blended oil.
In an instant, a huge ball of flame burst into flames.
Colin waved his right hand wearing the "Ring of the Fire Ruler", and the flames seemed to be controlled, gathering in mid-air and transforming into a surging fireball with a diameter of three meters.
The scorching hot current spread out in an instant, and the atmosphere on the scene suddenly became tense.
When everyone saw the flame leaping in the air like a heart, the only thing they could think of was destruction.
Colin, who was below , had the flames on his back, his face could not be seen clearly, and his figure was wrapped in the smoke spreading from the flames, like a god descending to earth.
Where have the refugees present seen this before?
The firelight reflected on their faces, making them tremble with fear. They wanted to escape immediately, but the soldiers around them stopped them and prevented them from moving.
Not only them, but even the soldiers who had just followed Colin here were all shocked. They didn't expect that Colin could do such a thing.
Very good, it seems that this special effect is pretty good...
Colin looked dignified, with a hint of approval in his eyes, and he was very satisfied with their performance.
But in fact, if there weren't so many people...
Ke Lin thought that he really couldn't help rolling on the ground.
pain!
it hurts!
It hurts so much!
Colin felt like his whole body was being licked by light and fire, and the figure under the gray robe couldn't help but tremble a little.
The burning pain made him feel like he was being roasted in a furnace.
There must be a reason why this damn thing called "Ring of the Flame Ruler" is only sold for a few hundred points. I want to sell it too, but I can't bear it...
It hurts so fucking much.
He endured the pain and said what he needed to say. A minute later, Colin waved his hands tremblingly to disperse the flames, then put his hands behind his back and stared at them - it was so painful that he needed to take a breath.
Of course, in the eyes of ordinary local people who have not been baptized by any special effects, there is nothing unusual about him showing his "miracle". Even if he stands still, he will only appear more unfathomable.
Even though the fire had gone out, they still lowered their eyes, their hearts trembling, not daring to speak. The jealousy that had appeared before because of the food also returned to rationality.
After a long moment of awe, they heard Colin's words again.
