Chapter 139 Willow-tree Granary
Fang Bai looked at this finger that was pressed against his chest in horror. A shocking power condensed on his chest. It seemed that in the next moment, this power would gush out from this finger and pierce through his heart.
The feeling of death was so intense that Fang Bu had never imagined that one day he would be so close to death!
The power contained in this finger was simply too terrifying. Fang Datong even had a feeling that once the power within this finger erupted, not only him, but even half of Tianjing City would be reduced to ruins.
Fang Dong was an Earth Adept, an Elemental Earth Adept. Although the Earth Adept"s attack power wasn"t strong, his defense was the best amongst all the Adepts. He was probably just as weak as Kong Yun"s metal Adept.
After Fang Die"s body was covered by the rock strata, his defense was astonishing. He could withstand most of the attacks. Even the most advanced laser cannons of humans could not pierce through his body. At most, there would be some cracks.
However, Fang Bu "s strongest reliance was so weak in front of Kong Yun. Kong Yun had completely destroyed his body"s defense with just one finger. If Kong Yun hadn"t shown mercy, Fang Bu would have been a dead man by now.
When the Dragon King persuaded the military and the government, he had said that Kong Yun"s strength was very strong. He was not inferior to him, or even stronger than him.
Nowadays, China does not need a Dragon King with high moral character. What it needs is a strong Dragon King who can lead the Dragon Group and China to face all kinds of dangers.
The Dragon King was the only SS-cla.s.s player in China. If the Dragon King left this world and no new SS-cla.s.s player appeared in China, then the fate awaiting China would be destruction. Even if they could survive the increasingly powerful zombie attacks, they would eventually be occupied by the United States.
Kong Yun was the only SS-cla.s.s player in China after the Dragon King. Rather than pushing him out of China, it was better for him to serve China. This was also the most important reason why the military and the government agreed to Kong Yun being the Dragon King.
Fang Bu knew that Kong Yunqiang was the only SS-cla.s.s player in China. His strength was natural, but it wasn"t to the point where he couldn"t resist. Fang Bu firmly believed that with his ability, even if he wasn"t Kong Yun"s opponent, it wouldn"t be so simple for Kong Yun to defeat him.
However, Kong Yun"s strength exceeded Fang Bai"s imagination, exceeded everyone"s imagination, and easily defeated Fang Bai.
"You"ve lost. Looks like I can plant this willow tree in Tianjing?" Kong Yun smiled.
"What? You actually want to plant this willow tree in Tianjing City? Are you crazy?" Fang Bai looked at Kong Yun in horror.
Could it be that he wanted to destroy the entire Tianjing City? Once this willow tree took root in the Tianjing City, the entire Tianjing City would be destroyed instantly?
"You won"t be able to stop me. Even if your military and government join forces, you won"t be able to stop me. Because I"m stronger than you. In this world, strength determines everything!" Kong Yun smiled coldly.
"Boom!" The willow tree was smashed into Tianjing City by Kong Yun. The moment the willow tree"s roots touched the ground, it immediately went underground and took root in Tianjing City.
"All the secret facilities underground should be avoided. If it"s damaged a little, I won"t spare you." Just as the willow tree was expanding wildly, Kong Yun"s cold voice came from behind.
The willow tree couldn"t help but shiver. It hurriedly restrained its roots and chose to bypa.s.s the secret facilities that were buried deep underground.
"Kong Yun, are you preparing to destroy China?" Fang Bu pointed at Kong Yun and shouted.
"I"m protecting China." Kong Yun crossed his chest and watched as the willow tree"s enormous body gradually covered the entire Tianjing City.
Fang Bu was in despair. The willow tree had already taken root in Tianjing City. It was impossible to erase him unless they were willing to destroy the entire Tianjing City. This was obviously impossible.
"Kong Yun, you … you …" Fang Bu pointed at Kong Yun speechlessly. At this moment, he began to suspect whether Kong Yun was betraying the country or not. Otherwise, why would he do such a disrespectful thing?
"You, you, you, you, what you, don"t you see that there are many people starving to death every day in Tianjing City?" Kong Yun pointed at the streets of Tianjing City. All the streets of Tianjing City were occupied by refugees. People would die here every day because of hunger and disease.
"There"s nothing we can do about it. The food in Tianjing City is not enough to feed so many refugees!" Fang Bu "s expression darkened. Every day, a large number of Chinese people died. This was an indisputable fact.
"Actually, it"s not your fault. I have no intention of blaming you. Give priority to distributing food to soldiers and special abilities to maintain their combat strength. Although this decision is ruthless, it can allow Tianjing City to last longer under the siege of so many zombies." Kong Yun said.
When the government and the military made such a decision, they were also under tremendous pressure. If they were not handled well, they might even stir up a popular uprising.
However, there was nothing that could be done. The food in Tianjing City was limited, and so many refugees suddenly poured in. There was simply not enough food, and the entire Tianjing City was surrounded by zombies and mutated beasts. It was impossible for them to go out and look for food.
To defend Tianjing City, the army and the Adepts were indispensable. To defend Tianjing City, one had to ensure their combat strength.
"If you have no choice, you have to think of a way." Kong Yun snorted and threw a bottle of Dragon Blood Divine Tree"s juice at the willow tree. The metal bottle disintegrated in the air and the Dragon Blood Divine Tree"s juice poured onto the willow tree"s body.
"Hahaha, the Dragon Blood Divine Wood, there are so many good things like brats." The willow tree cried out excitedly.
"I have a mission for you. As long as you complete it, the Dragon Blood Divine Tree will need as much juice as you can." Kong Yun said.
"What mission? What mission? Kid, hurry up and say it. As long as you can say it, I can do it." The willow tree cried out excitedly. The juice of the Dragon Blood Divine Tree was what he needed the most now. It could quickly recover his strength.
"Find mutated plants outside the city and fuse their genes with yours." Kong Yun said.
"Gene fusion, kid, you can"t be" The willow tree suddenly realized what Kong Yun wanted him to do.
"That"s right, there are many mutated plants outside the city. You have many choices." Kong Yun nodded.
"You b.a.s.t.a.r.d, this daddy is a willow tree, not a fruit tree. You actually want this daddy to bear fruit?" Daliushu said angrily.
"Then are you not going to do it?" Killing intent flashed in Kong Yun"s eyes.
"I"m a willow tree, and I have my own dignity. Even if you kill me, I"m not prepared to compromise." The willow tree showed an unyielding att.i.tude.
"One bottle of dragon blood juice a day." Kong Yun calmly looked at the willow tree.
"Hmph, a mere bottle of dragon blood juice" The willow branches danced.
Kong Yun raised his eyebrows, "Two bottles!"
"Deal. There"s no problem with any mutated plants you want!" The willow tree immediately agreed.
Fang Bai looked at Kong Yun and the willow tree doubtfully. Was this still the willow tree that killed people without blinking an eye? Why did he listen to Kong Yun"s words so much?
However, Fang Bu knew what Kong Yun wanted from the conversation between the two of them. He actually wanted the willow tree to become a granary and provide food for the entire Tianjing City.
What kind of fantasy was this? There were at least 500 to 600 million people in Tianjing, and the amount of food consumed every day was an astronomical figure.
However, if it was a willow tree, it might really be able to do so. The willow tree was too big, and it could easily cover the entire Tianjing City. His willow branches were constantly spreading out of Tianjing City. In less than a day, the entire Tianjing City would be covered by the willow branches of the willow tree.
If the willow tree really could bear fruit, it could even solve the problem of food shortage in Tianjing City.
Gene fusion might be a big problem for other creatures, but it was very simple for the willow tree. To be able to grow to this level, he relied on constantly fusing the genes of various creatures.
As for why he hadn"t fused with the ability to produce results, that was because the willow tree hadn"t expected that this ability would be useless.
However, the willow tree was naturally happy to be able to exchange for two bottles of Dragon Blood Divine Tree juice a day.
The roots of the willow tree had already spread throughout Tianjing City and began to spread out. Without any restrictions, the roots of the willow tree spread very quickly, extending for a hundred miles in the blink of an eye.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, with so many zombies, it seems like my food won"t be of any concern in the near future." The willow tree laughed excitedly.
"Did you find it?" Kong Yun asked.
"Don"t worry, don"t worry. Do you think that mutated plants are cabbages? You can easily find them." The willow tree snorted.
"Hehe, I found it. Mutated corn, using this as food is definitely not bad!" The willow tree chuckled.
The roots of the willow tree broke through the layers and wrapped around the mutated maize tree. The tip of the roots pierced into the mutated maize tree and began to absorb the genes of the mutated maize tree and fuse with its own genes.
"How is it?" After waiting for half an hour, Kong Yun started to get impatient.
"Don"t rush. Do you think it"s so easy to fuse genes? Some genes aren"t suitable for me. I need to improve them." Daliushu said angrily.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Suddenly, the willow trembled. That root had already completed the genetic modification. Now, his body had begun to fuse genes.
Suddenly, the sound of popping came from the willow branches. Stalks of golden corn suddenly appeared on the willow branches. There was no skin, no beard, just golden corn cobs. Each corn cob was three to four meters long, and on top of it were plump golden corn grains.
