Jiang Wan was pleasantly surprised: "Really? When are you planning to make your move?"
Although in an oxygen-deficient apocalypse, humans need to help each other, unite, and fight against mutated plants, zombies, and unknown monsters, the people in Vermilion City are simply too unethical. They have too many criminal records, and the large number of weapons they control is unsettling.
Even if high city walls are built in Longxiang City, I'm afraid people won't be able to sleep soundly at night.
What if one day, the people inside slit their throats for a little food?
This world is no longer civilized. In this barbaric world, only the strong have a voice. Whoever holds the gun has the most power. That's why she supports Cheng Zhen in taking control of the arsenal.
Cheng Zhen laughed: "No rush. To catch the thief, catch the king first. I've already scared Zhang away. I don't think he'll dare to show his claws again anytime soon. Once we're all settled here, I'll think of a good way to deal with him."
Before the post-apocalyptic world of oxygen deficiency, Zhang Hao was indeed a decisive and capable marshal who conquered all sides because he was ambitious. Unfortunately, now it is the post-apocalyptic world of oxygen deficiency, Cheng Zhen is a powerful superhuman, while Zhang Hao is just an ordinary person.
No matter how many guns and ammunition he has, Cheng Zhen's purification ability can render all his firepower ineffective.
The Feast at Hongmen was ultimately nothing more than him shooting himself in the foot.
Cheng Zhen intends to take over the entire Vermilion City, but the people inside still need to be properly trained.
This needs to be done gradually.
He suddenly remembered something: "Have you started planting crops? Any progress?"
It's so hot now. Even if he doesn't understand much, he knows that normal plants have a hard time growing in this kind of weather.
"I tried planting potatoes on a small plot of land, adding a little of my own prepared pesticide. Let's see how it goes. If it works, then we'll plant them on a large scale."
The two talked as they walked home.
Cheng Zhen knew she had added tree sap, but seeing that she still looked worried and at a loss, he comforted her, "It's okay, let's do our best first."
If we still can't grow it, then we'll have to think of other ways.
Just as the two reached the vicinity of the RV, Mi Mang suddenly rushed out from nearby, looking anxious and panicked. Upon seeing Jiang Wan and Cheng Zhen, she immediately ran over: "Something terrible has happened! Xiao Mobo and Xiao Mobi are dead!"
The two were shocked and, without saying a word, immediately followed Mi Mang to the special breeding room to check.
"Did it die from the heat?" Jiang Wan asked.
After the weather got warmer, Jiang Wan put two basins of ice in the breeding room and instructed the ice ability users to come over from time to time to restore the ice state, but unexpectedly, Xiao Mobo and Xiao Mobi still died.
Huang Ying is a doctor, but not a veterinarian, and she is not entirely sure what caused the two animals to die.
But they discovered that all the dead were the older Mobo and Mobi, while the newly bred babies were still thriving.
The adults were anxiously examining and analyzing the cause of death when they suddenly heard two little ones whispering outside the window: "Are those two little monsters dead?"
The voice was unmistakably Jiang Xiaoxin's. Receiving no response, he wasn't bored and continued, "It's an oxygen-deprived apocalypse now, won't they turn into zombies?"
"I wonder if their flesh tastes good. Maybe we should eat it before they turn into zombies."
Several adults couldn't help but twitch their faces.
They're here thinking and analyzing, while only the children are carefree and still thinking about food.
But Jiang Wan immediately thought of something and said to Cheng Zhen, "That's right, we can breed and raise a large number of Little Mobo and Little Mobi."
The benefits are obvious; Little Mobo can expel polluted oxygen, which Little Mobi absorbs, and then releases oxygen and slime. The slime can then produce algae and polluted water.
The prerequisite is that they only need to have leaves of the bamboo.
These are the results of their long-term experiments.
I originally thought they were only useful for that, but now it seems they can provide meat even after they die.
Jiang Wan's reminder made everyone think that raising Xiao Mobo and Xiao Mobi was a great idea, at least they wouldn't have to worry about not having meat to eat in the future.
This also largely solved the problem of food supply.
Cheng Zhen also thought it was good, but then he realized the key question: "What if we don't have enough Cizhu?"
The existing forest farm in Longxiang City, on that hilltop, does have bamboo, but on a very small scale. If we want to raise small Mobo and small Mobi on a large scale, we will have to expand the planting of bamboo.
All of this brings us back to the original problem: plant growth in hot weather.
Jiang Wan sighed, "Alright, let's take another look."
At this moment, she desperately hoped that the sap in her tree hollow would help the plants grow in the sweltering heat.
Cheng Zhen was not idle either. He mobilized all the able-bodied young men in Longxiang City to build the city wall, and at the same time, he pulled out all the surplus labor in Zhusha City to go outside to clear out and kill the mutated plants.
The citizens of Zhusha City didn't want to go out. They were just ordinary people, yet they were facing incredibly ferocious mutated plant monsters and zombies. Zhang Hao also didn't want Cheng Zhen to be able to command and drive his citizens so easily.
But he couldn't beat him, so he had no choice but to admit defeat and allocate the able-bodied young laborers in the city to other areas.
The meals were provided when we went out to work, which alleviated the food pressure to some extent.
Cheng Zhen led a group of superhumans to kill mutated plants and zombies, while the people from Vermilion City were sent to mine crystals and clean up the corpses.
Everyone was building their new city in an orderly manner and striving to live their lives, and for a time, all was peaceful.
Ten days later, the potatoes that Jiang Wan planted at the foot of the forest mountain finally sprouted and looked to be growing well. She breathed a sigh of relief: "At least it was worth the watering we gave them every morning and evening."
For convenience, Cheng Zhen directly connected a water pipe from the dug well to the foot of the mountain, and opened the valve every day when irrigation was needed.
That day, it was evening, and although all the potatoes had already sprouted roots, the weather was too hot for her to be careless, so she still opened the valve to irrigate them.
The water used to flow smoothly, but today, after the valve was opened, no water came out of the pipe for a long time. After a while, only a little bit came out, as if something was blocking it.
Mi Mang is currently tending to the plantation with her, and when they noticed that the water wasn't flowing smoothly, they decided to go and see what was going on.
Jiang Wan was originally planning to go by herself, so she didn't stop him. Suddenly, she saw something bulging in the middle of the water pipe, moving rapidly as if something was inside.
She instinctively grabbed Mi Mang and quickly backed away, saying, "Don't go over there!"
