Chapter 1054: Nature is to plunder
With Shen Feng's help, there are constantly snowstorms falling on the ground in the sky, and the snow on the ground is at least four or five feet deep, such a deep snow can completely freeze people to death, but once these insects hiding in the ground encounter ice and snow, the insects will be frozen to death first.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers quickly cleared the ground, and as soon as they found the nest where the locusts were, they would quickly dig them up, and then let the snow melt into it, and in an instant the locusts would freeze to death in the ground.
Tom and the heads of several consortia also discussed, the original Great Lakes region actually did not belong to them, but after the end came, the local organization had collapsed, and in the end only many gangs remained, and now their army has arrived here and can take over the Great Lakes region.
"I suggest that the next few of our great cities in the East join forces to manage the Great Lakes region, and then produce enough food for us to unify the whole of North America once again!" Tom said to a few of the consortium.
"This plan of yours is very good, but we didn't expect that the Wind God from far away in the east could be invited by you, which is really a great thing! It will be very helpful for our next operation, in the north of the Great Lakes, there is actually a very fertile soil, and now there is no one to manage it, so it is better to take this opportunity to grab the apprentices on the other side." The rest of the consortium heads said greedily.
In fact, the Great Lakes region is not just a lighthouse country, all of them have another country on the other side, that is, Gamada in the north, but in the middle of the apocalypse, the northern country has collapsed first, and now there is no one to manage the land of the Great Lakes in the north, and it is also a good means to take this opportunity to snatch it over, after all, their ancestors made their fortune by robbing, and now there is no problem in robbing the land opposite.
Tom nodded when he heard this plan, and said, "Although this plan was improvised, it is indeed executable, but there is one thing I want to remind you here that you need to invest more next, I don't know what you think?"
"Isn't it just more investment? We're following!" Subsequently, a consortium said that it needed to increase investment.
Now these consortia have seen the benefits of getting land, as long as they can grab enough land, then in the next apocalypse, they will be able to control a large amount of food, especially in the area around the Great Lakes, there are many plains, it is also very suitable for agricultural production, and the abundance of water resources can allow them to avoid the impact of drought, and take advantage of this rare opportunity to snatch more apprentices, then they can have a better future, and the family behind them will definitely agree to this.
Shen Feng didn't know that his task had been aggravated, in the past few days, he had been floating in the air, making contact with people on the ground through walkie-talkies, and every day helicopters were transporting supplies to Shen Feng's side, and there were many of these materials: drinking water and food, as well as books to relieve boredom.
Human beings are always social animals, so human beings need social activities in order to avoid mental illness, and when Shen Feng is floating in the sky, there is no one to communicate with at all, even if he uses a walkie-talkie, he can't get a cold reply, in this case, he needs to read a book to alleviate loneliness.
However, when the plan to clean up the locusts was being carried out in an orderly manner, many soldiers on the front line found an abnormal state, the reason is that when some soldiers were cleaning the area by the lake before, they suddenly found a strange-shaped animal, this animal is unusually tall, it can be 5 meters high, but after seeing humans, it does not fight, turns around and runs away, and disappears when it burrows into the water.
"There are monsters in the lake, and these monsters seem to have little guts, and as soon as they see a human appearing, they will immediately hide in the lake." There were soldiers who reported this.
When the officers in the army heard about this, they immediately took it seriously, and then set up a number of cameras near the lake to capture the images of these monsters, and if they found that these monsters were a threat to humans, they would not hesitate to strike at them.
However, after the army cameras captured the images of these monsters, they were happy after analyzing them, because they all found out what this strange animal was
However, it is a mutated beaver.
There is a very strange animal in North America, which is the beaver, this kind of beaver, which looks very strange, looks nondescript, like a mouse, but is not a mouse, this beaver is a vegetarian, strictly speaking, it likes to eat trees, and likes to cut down trees and build dams.
After people living in North America discovered the situation of beavers cutting down trees a long time ago, they regarded beavers as murderers who destroyed the natural ecology, because cutting down trees will lead to soil erosion, which is a well-known thing, but in subsequent research, scientists found that these beavers will actually cast dams, which is conducive to the formation of swamps, and after marshy wetlands, water is easier to preserve, and the wetland system is known as the "kidney of the earth", which is very important for the impact of climate.
So, after understanding this, scientists immediately began to call for the protection of beavers so that the population can recover, but unfortunately it was too late.
Beavers were slaughtered for many years as the perpetrators of the destruction of the ecosystem, and finally suffered a severe blow, and after that, some unscrupulous traders discovered that the beaver fur was very smooth and could make high-end clothing, so for profit, many hunters began to hunt beavers, and later the beaver population was difficult to recover, and became an absolutely protected animal.
"Immediately inform all the soldiers that they are not allowed to hunt beavers, and that they must be protected, because these beavers can build dams that have a positive effect on the local ecosystem, and they are not allowed to destroy the nests and dams where beavers are found." An order was immediately issued in the army, forbidding the soldiers to harm the mutated beavers.
After the mutation, the beaver still exists as a vegetarian animal, and has not changed its habits, and although this animal is huge after the mutation, the fear of humans has not disappeared, so after these beavers saw humans, they chose to run away as soon as possible, and did not dare to get along with humans at all.
The profit-hungry soldiers found out about this, and then they became greedy, because these people knew that the fur on the beaver was one of the raw materials of high-class clothing, and that if they could kill the beaver, they could get a good reward, and now that such a great temptation was in front of them, they of course took the military order as a nonsense.
"Such a good opportunity to make a fortune is in front of you, how can you let it go? As long as we quietly kill a beaver, we can get a lot of money, and we can get rid of the status of poor people in the future." Soldiers are quietly discussing the hunt for beavers.
Originally, after building a dam and a nest, these beavers have been hiding in the nest and not coming out at all, and after seeing humans, they ran away frantically, and did not dare to confront humans at all.
But humans don't want to let go of beavers, not only because beavers are not lethal, but also because the fur on the beavers is so valuable that as long as you peel off a piece of skin and bring it back, you can get countless money, and even become a middle class.
So, during the day, people thought they didn't see the beavers, but at night, the soldiers would find the beavers' nest in the direction they remembered, dismantle the dam, and then find the beavers in the nest and kill them and take them away, both young and old.
"It's really a bunch of profit-hungry bandits, if you find an endangered protected animal, you will be the first to protect it in China, but I didn't expect to hunt unbridled in North America, and the above don't care about it at all, it's really a bandit!" Xu Xing couldn't help but curse in a low voice after seeing this scene.
The interpreter beside her didn't dare to say more after hearing these words, because if these words were heard by the soldiers, they would definitely arouse the disgust of the soldiers.
In China, the protection of wild animals is very serious, and it is only in the end of the world that you can kill at will, if you change in the past, once someone dares to arrest protected animals, it is definitely a prison seat, but this is not the case in North America, these people support all kinds of laws on the surface, but in the background they are in violation, remember the location of the beaver's nest during the day, and start to make extra money in the middle of the night, and after killing the beaver, peel off the fur on the spot, and then bring it back.
But in the hearts of many soldiers, this kind of earning
There is no problem with the way they go extra, because this is how they have lived for hundreds of years, especially in the apocalypse, when many poor people rely on hunting to get meat, and now they just kill a strange prey, which is not a big deal.
Xu Xing used to have a lot of good feelings about North America, because she had long heard that the scenery here is beautiful, and the culture and technology are very prosperous, and everyone in a powerful country will like it.
But when she really came here, she had a disgust, because she suddenly found that this country is full of immoral behaviors such as robbery and hunting, even the beaver is a harmless protected animal for humans and animals will be brutally killed, and in the past, there were people who shamelessly traded with their country's national treasures, it can be said that the people here are greedy and shameless, if it weren't for the fact that she could get the national treasure, she wouldn't bother to stay with these scumbags.
Of course, the current leaders of these consortia don't care about the petty fights of their subordinates at all, anyway, for them, as long as they can get the land, it is worth paying whatever price, as for the beavers hunted by the soldiers, humans have already exterminated many creatures anyway, and they are not bad for beavers.
There are constantly blizzards in the sky, and after these blizzards fall on the ground, a thick layer of snow is formed, and countless insects are frozen to death in the snow, but the same human movement will be hindered, but even if it is hindered, the soldiers are in full swing, because they all know that as long as they perform well, they can be richly rewarded.
It was in this situation that the disaster of the soldiers came.
