114. Go further afield
The violent and short-lived insect invasion is over, and its effects have only just begun.
The potato crops planted outside the barrier were harvested ahead of schedule, reducing yields countless times. After the insect tide raged, the fierce beasts that could be seen everywhere in the wilderness were also difficult to find, and most of the teams that went out to hunt returned empty-handed.
Barriers 4 and 5, which are less densely populated, have some climate-controlled greenhouses that can produce vegetables even in winter. The farms raise reiki-modified meat and poultry to produce meat and eggs. However, these outputs are far from meeting the needs of the residents of District 53.
After the revival of the aura, the wild products are more abundant. But after losing most of the arable land, the staple food of mankind has become cassava, sweet potato, and potato. It can only be planted in a small plot of land between a few barriers, and you have to watch out for beasts that come to destroy it.
It is also thanks to the revival of the aura that the land is more fertile and the products are more abundant. In the old days, the cramped land of the five walls of the 53rd district alone could not feed tens of millions of people.
Winter is coming, and a famine is just around the corner.
Han Qingfeng signed the food supply bill, and the food supply system in District 53 began to be implemented, regardless of gender, identity, and cultivation, only by age group, and the food supply limit per person per day.
Even Han Qingfeng himself only has a paste made of potatoes, vegetables and a little meat every day, and in order to ensure the supply of calories, there is a lot of animal fat in it, which is greasy and coarse, and difficult to swallow.
Han Qingfeng picked up a piece of fat, strong, filamentous and white mushrooms, which was a new type of edible mushroom cultivated by the School of Spirit Animals and Biology of Lanhai University.
The growth cycle is short, it can mature in a few days, the temperature requirements are low, and it can grow in winter without occupying precious greenhouses. Even without the need for special nutrients, most of the land can be planted. It is also delicious and contains aura, which is said to be an aid in spiritual practice.
"Is this thing really not poisonous?" Han Qingfeng asked.
Zong Xiuming, the dean of the Spirit Beast Academy, replied: "We have tested it many times, and except for occasional hallucinations, no other side effects have been found, and there is no toxicity, and our experimenters have no adverse reactions. ”
Han Qingfeng pondered for a while, this kind of mushroom called Yunling mushroom, a few people will have occasional hallucinations after eating it, according to them, it is a very wonderful feeling to be able to see the shaking villain. After the hallucinations disappeared, there were no other adverse effects.
Other than that, there are no other drawbacks, as if it was a fungus that was born specifically to alleviate the famine of mankind.
If it can be promoted on a large scale, it can effectively alleviate the current food shortage problem and effectively improve the physical fitness of practitioners.
But Han Qingfeng always felt that he was still not down-to-earth, and he didn't know why so many people had to bring the word "spirit" to whatever name they wanted, which made it mysterious and mysterious, which made people not feel at ease.
"Let's start small-scale planting, select a group of volunteers, and then promote it on a large scale after there is no problem." Han Qingfeng instructed that the rations of District 53 could still last for a while.
Although the Spirit Beast Academy swore that there was no problem, it was necessary to observe it again, and there was still a difference between the experimental conditions and the actual environment. If there is a problem with the widespread cultivation of crops that are the main food, it will be a big mess.
Zong Xiuming took the order to leave, and Zhao Daming walked in.
After receiving the question reported by Rong Chu that day, Han Qingfeng guessed that it was the good deeds done by the gray vulture and sent someone to investigate.
Zhao Daming fed back the results obtained so far, and most of the cultivators who died in the insect tide were devoured by the insect swarm. In the part of the body that can be recovered, pinholes and traces of medication were also found.
Most of them are cultivators of the [Elemental Domain]. This is partly due to the stable potential and wide range of applications of the [Elemental Domain] ability trait, and partly because the ability trait of [Elemental Domain] is easier to identify.
At present, there is no technical means to accurately identify the type of ability, and the general way is to let the practitioner put a skill to see.
In a way, it restricts the movement of gray vultures. The cost of extracting abilities is also significant, and no one wants to go through all the trouble of extracting just one common [Enhanced Domain] ability trait.
The way the Grey Vulture chooses its target is still by looking at the owner of the valuable ability trait. Before the target is dying, reconfirm by stimulating the target's spinal nerves and spiritual sea, causing it to involuntarily release its abilities. Only then does the ability extract be.
It's not completely reliable, and there's been a history of confession in the past.
The ability to manipulate water was customized, but the Grey Vulture extracted a [Enhancement Domain] Hand Sweat Glands Enhancement waste trait, and saw the target's hands oozing sweat, so he decided that it was an ability to manipulate water. The demons have deposed the heir of a large family by mistake.
Fortunately, the strength of the Gray Vulture Organization itself is very strong, and it is not afraid of the private army of the big family that comes to the door, and has reached a settlement with three fire potions with precious ability characteristics. It's just that the heir who originally had a bright future has become a waste man who can't even pick up a sword, and his hands are slippery.
……
Zhao Daming investigated the garrison and militia regiment at Barrier No. 3, but found nothing, and no one saw any suspicious people who were unknown. The grey vultures operate in small squads, and they are not numerous, but they seem to be invisible. There were pinholes left on the bodies of the victims, but no one saw them.
In the wilderness, on the city walls, and even in the medical stations inside the ramparts, they were everywhere, but silently, like ghosts wandering in the fifty-third district. This feeling made Zhao Daming shudder, and he comforted himself in his heart, fortunately, his ability characteristics were not outstanding, and he would not be targeted by these weird guys.
Han Qingfeng sneered, "Keep staring, don't care too much." This group of people can't do anything else, they are still very good at hiding and hiding, a group of rats, after a long time, they will definitely show their tails. ”
Zhao Daming then reported on the production situation of the major factories in District 53, Lanhai No. 2 Machine Tool Factory, Qingzhou Heavy Machinery and other machinery factories are making every effort to produce psionic steam trains. The Eastern Rail Transit Company dispatched a repair team to repair the damaged railway. Garment factories, grocery factories and consumer goods companies have all resumed production.
It's just that Roche Pharmaceutical, Ruihua Pharmaceutical, and Renaissance Chemical, these companies that produce pharmaceuticals, need wild resources such as fierce beasts and spirit grass, and only part of the production has been resumed. Quotas for students and military personnel are no longer available on time.
Han Qingfeng pondered for a while, "Send out all the teams that can be sent out, go hunting farther away, and the points exchanged for long-range hunting will increase by fifty percent." ”
……
In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, there was a queue at the gate of the fortress, and the garrison on the city wall sighed that they had never seen such a large-scale hunting procession.
Tens of thousands of professional hunting teams, armed with weapons, supplies and bags, stepped out of the walls and into the unknown wilderness.
In the past, hunting would only be in the wilderness for one night at most before returning, but this time I had to stay in the wilderness for a long time, not knowing when I would be able to return, and I didn't know if I would be able to return.
Hundreds of thousands of professional hunters go farther away, to more dangerous places, to face more ferocious prey......
And that's just the beginning.
In addition to professional hunters, guards, garrisons, universities, large companies, and social organizations are also organizing hunting teams.
You have to harvest enough prey to survive the coming winter.
