Ordered by Jay, continued to investigate the situation in the neighboring city where Jay lived.
From there, the clone, curious about what was happening, decided to head to the source of the refugees.
This meant Jay's shadow clone, decided to head east of their country.
Relying on his ninja skills and superior physical strength,
Jay's shadow clone eventually arrived in the eastern region of their country, which also bordered several neighboring countries.
There, using the clone's skills, he began to investigate what was happening on their country's eastern border.
After some investigation, the shadow clone obtained significant information: a typhoon had struck a neighboring country, causing widespread crop failure.
This massive typhoon struck several neighboring countries, ultimately causing instability in those countries.
And what Jay's country never imagined was that, over time, this would have a significant impact on their eastern border.
Perhaps due to the impact of typhoons in several neighboring countries, the rainy season turned into a prolonged dry season.
This resulted in many farmers failing to achieve their prime harvests.
Furthermore, according to the clone's investigation, when neighboring countries experienced typhoons, traders in the eastern region of the kingdom were also affected.
Seeing a significant opportunity, these traders began purchasing large quantities of supplies from their eastern region.
And quickly selling them at many times the price in neighboring countries, tempted by the potential for large profits.
These traders were no longer satisfied with simply buying wholesale; some wholesalers even began buying directly from farmers.
This, of course, was all done secretly, in collusion with officials there.
Finally, when food was shipped to neighboring countries, a drought struck the eastern border region.
With the country's food supplies severely depleted, officials in the eastern region of the country sought assistance from the central region.
Unknown to the eastern leaders, the central and western regions of the country where they were located were also experiencing a drought crisis due to the sudden change in weather.
Seeing this situation, the civilians in the eastern region realized there was no hope of surviving and began a mass exodus to the western region.
This ultimately led to the current situation.
After investigating all of this, the clone decided to return and report the incident to Jay.
#######
Jay, who was walking to his grandfather's house to inform him that the food ordered by his extended family had arrived, received additional memories from his shadow clone, who was tasked with investigating the origins of the crisis.
(Damn… this is clearly not just a disaster for one country, but a disaster for many. Isn't this considered a global disaster?
If you think about it further, with the power of the country I currently live in, it's impossible to save all its citizens.
Even if this trend continues, the situation will likely spiral out of control.
Looks like I have to act faster to secure the village!!!) Jay sighed helplessly after realizing the situation.
Really, no matter where it is, ordinary people always suffer, and half the reason is their officials, hey… he shook his head helplessly at the situation.
Fortunately, Jay soon arrived at his grandfather's house.
"Grandpa…!!! Grandma…!!!" Jay's voice was heard shouting as he entered his grandfather's yard.
"Why are you shouting… I'm not deaf, Jay!!!" the grandfather shouted back, walking from inside the house and out to greet Jay.
"Hahaha, sorry, Grandpa, I'm just a little excited," Jay replied.
"Oh, you seem to be in a good mood," the grandfather replied, sitting down on a chair on his porch.
"Grandpa, you're very knowledgeable... I'm indeed in a good mood, because the food our family ordered has arrived," Jay replied, smiling.
Yum.
"Oh, it's arrived, good…very good…" The grandfather replied with a sense of relief.
After waiting for several days, what his extended family had been waiting for was finally coming.
And from Jay's reaction to him, the grandfather suspected the results would be quite satisfactory.
"How much were you able to buy this time?" his grandfather asked again.
"They were still quite generous. Jay got about 1.6 tons of food, consisting of 600 kg of sweet potatoes, 500 kg of potatoes, and 400 kg of rice," Jay replied again with a proud expression.
As if he had done something extraordinary, even though Jay felt a little amused by what he was doing, to keep up his good act, Jay let go of his embarrassment.
"1.6 tons, that's quite a lot. With this, our family will definitely be able to live well," his grandfather said with a relieved and grateful expression.
Thinking about the commotion outside the village, and the influx of people from outside, the situation in the village became somewhat worrisome.
And Jay's grandfather, William Junior, felt that if they didn't get the food soon, they would face an unavoidable crisis.
Although the village militia was currently patrolling the entire village, they hadn't yet implemented strict security measures.
There was still room for some covert activities in the village, such as smuggling food in. However, if the food's arrival time became longer,
And the situation in the village became increasingly unstable, in which case the mission would be more stringent, and the risk of discovery would increase, leading to the food entering the village.
It would certainly be a very risky undertaking.
"Then, take your uncle and cousin with you to slowly retrieve the food and hide it in each family's cellar. Remember, you must retrieve it in the early hours of the morning, around 2-3 a.m.," Jay's grandfather reminded him, giving him additional instructions.
Hearing his grandfather's instructions, Jay had to admit that his grandfather was indeed very clever. 2:00 to 3:00 a.m. was when humans were most unguarded.
And the militia obviously wouldn't be patrolling at that time, so in that case, it would be possible for them to sneak out and bring back food.
"Okay, Grandpa, then I'll tell my uncle and cousin about this." Jay then excused himself and went to inform his uncle and cousin about their grandfather's arrangements.
