Ammunition is a consumable item and cannot be relied upon solely in space. For this reason, Qi Yanxuan asked Shen Yanshan to build an ammunition processing plant near the training ground.
He put all the equipment from the ammunition factory that he had looted before into it, and he also had materials and other things in his space.
After setting up the ammunition factory, he became a hands-off boss and handed the factory over to Lin Zi. After all, he was a gold-type mutant and came from the army, so no one was more suitable for this job than him.
Chu Han was still responsible for training the soldiers' physical fitness and skills. In addition to the soldiers, many young and middle-aged people among the civilians also volunteered to train with Chu Han, not for anything else, but to be able to protect their families when they encountered danger and not sit and wait for death. It was good to be able to delay for a moment longer, because maybe if they could hold on, their families could be saved.
Chu Han was naturally willing to teach the people because of their enthusiasm. After discussing with Qi Yanxuan, he decided to expand the training ground so that there would be enough space for people with huge differences in physical fitness to train separately.
A month later, the water level dropped to halfway up the mountain.
That day, the soldiers on the city wall saw that the ground outside the city was covered with densely packed red beetles and large pincers. The smallest red beetle was as long as an adult's arm, and giant pincers as big as bathtubs were also everywhere.
The soldiers were all panicked when they saw it. This thing reproduced very quickly. If they didn't get rid of it, how could they grow crops in the future? Even if they did grow crops, they would probably be eaten by these things. They hurried to report to Qi Yanxuan.
"City Lord, this is bad! A large number of mutated red beetles and giant claws have appeared outside the city!"
Qi Yanxuan looked at the newcomer in confusion: "Red shell beetle, big claws? What the hell is that?"
"It's a bug with a hard shell and a pair of big pincers."
Qi Yanxuan listened to the description of the visitor and thought that what the other party said sounded like lobsters and crabs. If it was really that, then he would be in for a treat.
Although he was confused, he still teleported to the city wall.
Standing on the city wall, Qi Yanxuan saw dense lobsters and crabs constantly crawling out of the water outside the city, waving their big claws and attacking the city aggressively.
But they were roasted the moment they touched the electric grid, and their bright red appearance made people hungry.
The other shrimps and crabs didn't react at first, but when they saw more and more of their kind dying, they belatedly realized the danger and began to swim away, no longer daring to rush forward. It seems that even if this kind of creature mutates, it cannot grow a brain.
Waves of the fresh aroma of food filled the air above the city. The aroma seemed to have consciousness and kept drilling into people's noses, making everyone drool.
"City Lord, can this mutant bug be eaten?"
A soldier next to Qi Yanxuan had saliva dripping from the corner of his mouth as soon as he spoke a word.
The man seemed to be unaware of it. He just stared at the big pliers below the city that were red from the electric shock, and his eyes began to glow green.
Before the drought, they didn't eat these things because they had more shells than meat and were not enough to fill them up. It was a waste of firewood.
Later, there was a severe drought and all the crops died. They still ate a lot of the things they once looked down upon. Although there was not much meat, it was enough to fill their stomachs.
Now, you can’t miss anything edible, and these big claws are much bigger than before. I think there is more meat. I just don’t know if they are still edible after the mutation.
Qi Yanxuan saw the look of the soldiers beside him and curled his lips slightly. "Yes, go tell your General Chu to organize a team to go out and kill them. The snipers on the wall remember to cover those who leave the city."
"Okay!"
The soldier ran excitedly to find Chu Han.
After Chu Han learned the news, he pulled out half of the soldiers and prepared to leave the city.
Qi Yanxuan stood on the city wall, with purple lightning surging in his hands. After they were ready, countless lightning bolts fell outside the city.
In an instant, a large area in front of the city gate was filled with lightning and thunder, forming a thunder zone.
Within the thunder domain, lightning roamed unscrupulously, and all the creatures inside died. In order not to waste food, Qi Yanxuan controlled the power of lightning very well, only killing those creatures without turning them into ashes.
A stronger aroma of meat emanated, and Qi Yanxuan waved to Chu Han to signal that it was okay. Taking this opportunity, the city gate was opened, and the soldiers formed a formation and quickly left the city.
When the shrimp and crab army saw someone leaving the city, they all waved their big claws and rushed towards the crowd.
Even though these shrimps and crabs were not lethal enough in the past, the enlarged versions are still somewhat dangerous for ordinary people.
Those huge pincers can cut off a person's arm in minutes, and if they hit the abdomen or neck, the person's life will be over.
Qi Yanxuan stood on the city wall and observed the battle situation below. The soldiers worked in groups of ten and cooperated with each other. The shells of shrimps and crabs were very hard, and ordinary weapons could not break their shells at all.
At first, the soldiers didn't know how to kill them and it was very difficult for them, but after killing a few, they found their weakness. Their eyeballs, as big as fists, were exposed and very vulnerable. As long as they blinded them and cut off their pincers, they would not be a threat.
Chu Han moved among the soldiers. Once a team was besieged and unable to defeat the enemy, he would freeze the shrimps and crabs and only release some of them for them to practice.
Qi Yanxuan and the snipers on the city wall were also paying attention to the safety of the soldiers and would take action if anyone's life was in danger.
The soldiers' morale was boosted by this. Meat! All of it! They suppressed their appetites and killed with increasing enthusiasm.
The corpses of shrimps and crabs outside the city piled up into small hills. Qi Yanxuan ordered the soldiers in the city to push carts out to pull those shrimps and crabs back.
The soldiers fought outside the city for two hours before withdrawing. The harvest of these two hours was very gratifying. Looking at the meat, their eyes lit up and they were rubbing their hands, wishing they could take a few bites right away.
There are still many shrimps and crabs outside the city, and it will take a while to clean them up.
Qi Yanxuan asked them to go out and clean up every day. If there were people who wanted to go out, they could join the team. Of course, if they didn't want to take the risk, they wouldn't be forced.
Although you won't starve to death in the city, if you want to eat meat, you can't just hide under the wings of others. You can't let those who risked their lives to share their food with others! This is too unfair.
The soldiers pulled carts of shrimps and crabs and cheered in the city. The people looked on with envy and expressed their desire to go out hunting together tomorrow.
Chu Han took the portion belonging to himself and Qi Yanxuan and asked Qi Yanxuan to put it away, and let the soldiers divide the rest among themselves.
In the evening, Shen Yanqing, Shen Yanshan, Wen Yu and Lin Zi returned home after finishing their work. As soon as they reached the door, they smelled a fragrance. Knowing that Qi Yanxuan had made something delicious again, they hurriedly pushed the door open and went in.
