Chapter 343: GMO
A month after the eruption of the Yellowstone volcano, the volcanic ash and poisonous gases in the sky have basically shrouded the whole world, the sunlight is completely cut off, the plants are gradually dying, and the mutants who live on plants either die at the same time, or continue to mutate, from vegetarians to meat eaters, famine can be seen everywhere, survival, hunger, and once again in front of mankind.
At this moment, no matter how underdeveloped the communication is, as people continue to spread the word, the information of the Yellowstone eruption has finally gradually spread, and then another news is that the North American continent has been completely covered in volcanic ash, and there is not a single survivor!
Hope City was shrouded in a dark cloud, and Haoren, Qin Yang and the others held an emergency meeting again.
"How much food do we have left?" Haoren asked bluntly.
Qin Yang was silent for a moment: "Based on the population base of Hope City, it can last for a month at most, but this is the premise that the number of refugees will not increase, but everyone has seen the situation in the past few days, it is basically impossible." ”
Everyone was silent, and in the face of the mutant beasts that attacked humans even more frantically, many people who were wandering outside crowded into Hope City, trying to find shelter. At first, the glory was still gradually accepting, but with the news of the outbreak in Yellowstone, they finally realized that this darkness was not something that could end in a day or two, and the pressure they would face would be even greater, so the gates of Hope City were finally closed, blocking countless wanderers outside.
"Can't let them in! We don't have enough food to eat! Yang Feng said.
Tang Lin hesitated: "Just watch them starve to death?" ”
Someone immediately objected: "If you let them in, we will starve to death." Think about how many of them there are, our little food is estimated to be exhausted in three days at most! ”
"This is not an excuse to die!"
"Holy! You have the ability to give up your share of food! ”
……
A quarrel began to vaguely begin in the conference room, Haoren frowned, cleared his throat, and shouted, "Enough! Don't make any noise! ”
The venue suddenly quieted down, and everyone looked at Haoren, in the end, it was Haoren who made the final decision, and everyone was a little nervous.
"It is absolutely impossible to sacrifice our own lives to save others!" Haoren said first. Put some people at ease. At least Haoren isn't a rotten old man.
"But as some people say, it's too cruel to see death and not save it." Haoren turned his words and looked at the corner of the conference table, a girl in her 20s. Said slowly: "So I called you here today." Now let me explain the situation. ”
The girl wears thick flat glasses. She had dark skin and a very average appearance, and this was her first time attending this meeting. Looked very cramped and uneasy, a pair of hands were not rubbing the corners of her clothes, feeling Haoren's encouraging smile, she looked even more nervous, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say for a while.
The others were also full of confusion, it was not the first time they had participated in this kind of meeting, and even if they were not familiar with other people, they did not remember what qualifications this very ordinary girl had to participate in.
Seeing that there was some coldness, Qin Yang had no choice but to explain first: "Her name is Xu Mingyu, and her sub-profession is a planter. ”
In this way, everyone understands that it turned out to be a sub-profession, no wonder they didn't feel the slightest combat power in the girl, but they soon became confused again, why called a planter on this occasion.
"Mingyu, you don't have to be nervous, what you said to me yesterday, just say it to everyone again today." Haoren smiled.
Xu Mingyu nodded, and said, "That's right, I'm a master planter now." ”
"Holy! Masterclass! Someone immediately exclaimed.
Vice-professions from the senior level to the back, but also divided into master-level, grandmaster-level and god-level, although it has been half a year since entering the end of the world, the number of high-level sub-professions is increasing, but there are very few people who can be promoted to the master level, if it is said that from the low level to the high level is accumulated over time, then the promotion after that is purely based on luck, experience and ability, some people are destined to stay at the senior level for a lifetime, and some people are promoted to the master level in just half a year. And the girl in front of her is obviously one of them.
Haoren waved his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then added, "Xu Mingyu is only a stone's throw away from a grandmaster-level planter now. ”
Airplanes!
The conference room was shocked again, and in the eyes that looked at the girl again, everyone no longer had the previous disapproval, so far, including the Three Provinces Covenant, no grandmaster-level sub-profession has been born!
Tang Lin pondered the sound of the words, and suddenly said, "Could it be that the Grandmaster level can grow crops that can survive in this environment?" ”
With the spread of volcanic ash, ordinary crops have long since died because they can't adapt to the drastic changes in the environment, and even the materials exchanged from the professional altar require basic light, which no one can change.
Sure enough, Xu Mingyu said timidly: "The biggest feature of a grandmaster-level planter is that he can adjust his own needs such as light and water temperature, and he also has a sub-professional skill of gene regulation. ”
"I understand adjusting the light, but genetic regulation? What is this? Yang Feng raised his hand and asked.
"Genetically modified food?" Someone said with a strange expression.
"Damn, isn't genetically modified food inedible?"
"Come on, if I had to choose between starvation and genetically modified food, I would rather choose to eat genetically modified food!" Someone immediately responded disdainfully.
"I'd rather starve to death!" Others shouted in a hurry.
"Quiet! Be quiet! Qin Yang slapped the table unhappily: "It's still in a meeting!" Xu Mingyu, you go on, explain this genetic regulation, don't be afraid. ”
Xu Mingyue nodded, the momentum of everyone just now really scared her, and she re-opened her mouth after consideration: "That's right, if you use the noun of the old era, this is indeed a genetically modified skill, transferring one or several exogenous genes into the weight of a specific biological plant, so as to give birth to a biological plant with new characteristics." But believe me, this is based on ancient technology, and it is definitely not genetically modified as we knew it before, and there is no harm! ”
"I believe that!" Haoren did not hesitate to stand on the girl's side, of course, this is also what he knew a lot in advance: "In the era of ancient civilization, there was actually a very mature genetically modified technology, have you forgotten that when we fought with the Spider Empress, the eight-legged monster once sent a variety of hodgepodge fusion creatures, to put it bluntly, it was the result of genetic regulation." ”
"And Haoren's pet fusion skill, which is also a similar principle." Qin Yang added that what they didn't say was that in the laboratory of the Mechanical Evil Dragon Beast, the alien genes that were found were actually the use of this technology.
"So, don't mention genetically modified organisms to resist all kinds of resistance, the gene technology of ancient civilizations is very mature, and genetic technology must be a grandmaster-level sub-profession to be used, I believe there will be no harm!"
Xu Mingyu nodded desperately, and said: "When I am promoted to the grandmaster level, I will use genetic technology to adjust a batch of new crops, which do not need sunlight and can quickly purify the necessary nutrients from the dirty air, so that our food will be guaranteed!" ”
"It's a good idea!"
"Anyway, I don't care, even if it's the previous genetically modified food, I still don't eat it!"
After a while, this proposal was naturally approved, and they really couldn't think of a better solution, Haoren finally concluded: "At present, Xu Mingyu is still far from the grandmaster level, but if he continues to improve his proficiency, he will need relatively rare materials for planting, and ordinary crops can no longer be improved, so in the next month, everyone has to work hard to play dungeons, with only one purpose, to collect planting materials!" Above, adjourned! ”
If you want to collect rare seeds, then at least the blue-level dungeon is fine, so everyone put down what they are doing and start to focus on the strategy dungeon.
Each team is trying to figure out how to solve the impending famine, and most of the teams have chosen to hunt for a living, but this is not a long-term solution, many mutants are extremely sour and difficult to swallow, and some even contain poison, and as the number of mutants decreases, the level gradually increases, and the difficulty increases.
The role of the contract team is also well reflected here, after the volcanic ash obscures the sun, the world is plunged into darkness, and the number of people who died in the first month due to cold, hunger and other causes is only in Jinling City, which is estimated to be at least more than 100,000 people, most of whom are wandering lone rangers.
The world is changing, and everyone is clouded with gloom, and no one knows how long this darkness will last.
A month after the Yellowstone eruption, the country in the United States was almost in a state of extinction, and the devastated city was completely deserted, except for a few mutants who could survive in the harsh environment and crawled in the volcanic ash, most of the time even living creatures could not be seen.
"Adam, as you expected, the crater has finally erupted in full! Holy, hundreds of craters, all of a sudden! It's so spectacular, why don't I send you the picture? ”
"No...... What did I ask you to do? Did you do it? Adam said helplessly.
The boy in the sky shrugged his shoulders and looked at the magma flow that rushed to the sky not far away, and the surging volcanic ash fell from the sky like a downpour, but the boy was wrapped in a layer of light golden light, blocking all the ash out: "Well, a lot of things have come out of the crater in the past few days, the Poison Flame Monarch, the Fire Demon, the Abyss Lord, the Hellfire Skeleton...... Tsk, it's a prehistoric super paleontology. (To be continued......)
