Chapter 1245
1245 Predicament and exploration! 1!
When the sun set, countless flames lit up on the gentle gra.s.s in front of Holy Dragon City.
Because many of the ordinary buildings outside Holy Dragon City had been destroyed in the war, a large number of Holy Dragon City residents who had entered the city to take refuge had become homeless. Settling them down had become an urgent problem that needed to be solved.
The damaged tower needed to be repaired, and it was temporarily closed for safety reasons. The s.p.a.ce TOWER under construction was also not suitable for nearly a million residents to live in. Even in the future, only core personnel would be allowed in.
Many insects were imprisoned in Spirit Rock City, and no one was allowed to get close to it to avoid any accidents.
Therefore, the Holy Dragon city’s residents were temporarily settled on the gra.s.s in front of Spirit Rock City. After the City Tower was repaired, they would arrange their own residence.
The residents of the city were very cooperative with the city Lord’s arrangements. For the residents of the Holy Dragon City who had ” just ” experienced a city-destroying crisis, this kind of camping was just a small matter.
At this moment, Holy Dragon city’s citizens were sitting around each fire. They were chatting enthusiastically with each other, recalling their battle experiences. From time to time, they would attract a burst of exclamations from the bystanders.
And every time this happened, the narrator would show a proud smile.
It seemed that after this disaster, the Holy Dragon city’s residents had become more United. Many residents who had not known each other before were now sitting together with their arms around each other, looking very close.
When the sun completely disappeared, the sound of a car engine could be heard. Then, there was someone shouting for the residents to get their own food for the night.
When the already famished residents heard this, they immediately gathered in front of the cars and took bags of sealed food.
Dried sea monster meat, compressed biscuits, freshly made buns, and buckets of drinking water were placed next to the fire of the residents.
Due to the large number of residents, the amount of food they needed was also extremely shocking. Tang Zhen not only used the Holy Dragon city’s inventory, but he even specially returned to the original world to transport a batch. Only then did he temporarily solve the food problem for tonight.
It was only now that he realized that Holy Dragon City had already become a giant. Not only did it have a huge city, but it also had a large number of residents. It was nothing when the city was operating normally, but after a disaster, many problems emerged.
Fortunately, Tang Zhen’s prestige in the Holy Dragon City was extremely high. The residents would carry out his orders unconditionally. In addition, with the active efforts of the managers at all levels, the chaotic scene did not appear.
Since the problem had already appeared, he had to solve it immediately. Otherwise, it would cause big trouble sooner or later.
The first problem he had to solve was the source of food.
To the residents of the city, as long as they had enough points, they would never have to worry about starving to death because the cornerstone platform would provide them with basic food.
However, this could only ensure that the residents wouldn’t starve to death. Lou Cheng’s cultivators were all big eaters, and basic food supplies couldn’t meet their needs. If they wanted more food, it was difficult to buy it from the cornerstone platform. Therefore, in most cases, Lou Cheng could only rely on himself to find a way.
When the Holy Dragon City was first built, most of the food came from the original world, except for the small amount of food provided by the City Tower. Later, as the Holy Dragon City gradually developed and became self-sufficient, the problem of food sources was slowly solved.
However, with the destruction of the wilderness Warzone, the Holy Dragon City faced a similar problem again. This time, there were hundreds of thousands of residents and hundreds of thousands of troops, which added up to a population of nearly a million!
Just relying on the supply of the cornerstone platform could no longer satisfy the Holy Dragon city’s needs, so he had to think of another way.
This matter was already in Tang Zhen’s consideration. He already had a corresponding plan and it had to be executed immediately.
The mutated plant in the monster City had a rather terrifying reproductive ability and its output was also extremely shocking. Tang Zhen attached great importance to this. If it was confirmed that eating it would not cause harm to the human body, Tang Zhen was prepared to spread it in the nearby area on a large scale.
In addition to these mutated plants, the high-quality seeds from the original world would also be planted in large numbers on the land of the loucheng world.
Before the harvest, the Holy Dragon City would still gather food from other channels. The Holy Dragon Corporation had money anyway, so they could not let the residents starve.
After the food problem was solved, even if other matters were to slow down, it would not have too much of an impact on Holy Dragon City.
It didn’t take long before the aroma of food began to spread everywhere. The residents ate the smoked and roasted food, and the sound of laughter rose and fell. It seemed that the stars in the night sky had become brighter.
When the night came, the tired citizens gradually fell asleep, leaving only the Holy Dragon city’s Army stationed in the distance with their lights still on. The soldiers faced the dark wilderness, always on guard against any dangerous situations.
Another morning arrived. The Holy Dragon city’s residents woke up early. After breakfast, they busied themselves.
The sight of hundreds of thousands of people moving at the same time was spectacular. A group of residents began to clear the weeds and gravel on the flat land not far from Spirit Rock City, preparing to use it for sowing.
The efficiency of manual labor alone was certainly not high, so the Holy Dragon city’s residents simply used their own magical abilities, even the skills of cultivators, just to be able to reclaim more land in the shortest time.
There were many large agricultural machines in the Holy Dragon City. They were also taken out of the warehouse. Driven by the residents of the city, these machines roared and galloped across the wilderness, planting the stored grain seeds.
Tang Zhen returned to the world where the monster City was located and brought back a large number of mutated plants. After a.n.a.lysis by the researchers, it was confirmed that the seeds of these plants were very harmless to the human body. In fact, they even contained many elements that were beneficial to the human body.
Tang Zhen naturally would not miss out on such a good thing. He used a secret technique to accelerate the ripening of the mutated plants. After which, he carefully sowed the seeds that he had harvested.
In just a few short days, the fields outside Holy Dragon City had grown into an endless field. The figures of the residents were constantly busy in the fields, seriously managing the seedlings that had just broken through the soil.
In addition to large-scale farming, a large number of Holy Dragon City residents brought weapons and supplies. They were directly stationed next to a huge Lake hundreds of kilometers away and used fishing gear from the original world to catch fish.
Tons of fresh fish were caught from the lake, processed, and then transported to the Holy Dragon City. They were busy every day.
Fishing alone was not enough. The Holy Dragon city’s cultivators had also formed a large number of hunting teams. They would drive out in the morning and return at night, returning with a full load almost every time.
Because they were equipped with firearms with great destructive power, the hunting process of the Holy Dragon City cultivators became much simpler. However, the wild beasts and monsters in the vicinity were very unlucky, as they were almost completely cleaned up by the Holy Dragon City cultivators.
Not long after, the hunting range of the Holy Dragon City cultivators expanded once again, gradually approaching the area where the other towers were.
The cultivators in the other towers were extremely vigilant against these intruders who entered their territory without permission. They immediately sent out cultivator teams to expel them.
After a short fight, the cultivators in charge of driving them out all fled. Whether it was in terms of equipment or cultivation, they were far from the Holy Dragon City cultivators ‘match. They could only survive because the Holy Dragon City cultivators showed mercy.
After a few battles, the nearby buildings had also witnessed the strength of the Holy Dragon City cultivators. They simply allowed them to hunt in their own territory to prevent these guys from directly attacking.
After hearing that the Holy Dragon City was collecting food everywhere, some of the low-level cities that had once ” hired ” cultivators from the Holy Dragon City actually took the initiative to send food to them, trying to get closer to the Holy Dragon City.
When they saw the Holy Dragon City appear out of thin air, the city Lords who had followed them here were shocked. Any cultivator with common sense would know that even if this city wasn’t a national-level one, it wouldn’t be too far off!
The city Lords were suddenly enlightened. No wonder this group of cultivators was so powerful. They came from such a powerful city!
Tang Zhen basically didn’t refuse the deliberate flattery of these low-level buildings. However, while he thanked them, he also gave them a lot of gifts.
After receiving the gifts from the Holy Dragon City, the city Lords were overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. These items from the original world had indeed broadened their horizons. They all treated them as treasures!
From then on, the Holy Dragon city’s ruling position in this area was completely confirmed!
