I have a city in another world

Chapter 7056 The Opportunities and Development of the Temporary Gathering Place
Upon receiving the news, everyone went to the basement to see the magical plant.

I used to think the sight of piled-up corpses was eerie and bloody, but now I only find it amazing and I don't feel scared at all.

They began to imagine that this planting method could be replicated and could produce a large number of fruit trees.

Food is the biggest problem; if we can solve that, we can make more plans.

However, these mortals still underestimated Tang Zhen's abilities.

Soon, someone received orders to protect the plant and then break open the floorboards overhead to create a hole.

Upon receiving this order, everyone immediately realized that this plant would likely continue to grow taller.

If that's the case, it would be a wonderful thing, since the larger the plant, the more fruit it would produce.

The building's lobby has a central courtyard-like structure surrounded by circular staircases.

By removing the floor slab of the underground parking garage, the plants can grow freely without any restrictions.

However, everyone felt that even if this plant grew taller, it would only be about three or four meters at most.

It is quite remarkable that a wild, low-growing vine can suddenly grow into a tall vine.

Things that are too outrageous are simply unbelievable.

But just one night later, everyone was astonished to find that the vine had penetrated the hole in the floorboards and grown to a height of more than three meters in the lobby on the first floor.

It seemed that the plant had been growing all night, and its branches were now laden with fruits the size of quail eggs.

Some people picked them and tasted them; the taste was no longer sour and astringent, but rather had a hint of sweetness, and the flesh was quite firm.

The crowd gathered around, their eyes filled with surprise and their words conveying a deep sense of awe for Tang Zhen.

Over the past few days, their concerns about safety have kept them awake at night, and the severe lack of food has only fueled their fears.

The problem that was once a concern now seems to have been solved. Although the methods used were quite bizarre, the survivors did not reject them.

In order to survive in dire circumstances, survivors possess an extremely high level of endurance.

As long as they can fill their stomachs, nobody cares about the source of the food.

After discussing it, everyone decided to keep this secret and absolutely not let outsiders know about it.

Otherwise, those greedy people would surely flock here to seize this rare opportunity.

Of course, it is also possible that people will regard it as a mutated monster and therefore avoid it at all costs.

Before this, some people had suspected that this mutated plant was a special monster.

There are many similar monsters in the wilderness, and the survivors are no strangers to them.

Many survivors were infected and controlled by monsters, becoming slaves and turning into something neither human nor monster.

Survivors avoid such plant monsters like the plague, and if it is proven that the vines are mutated monsters, they will surely flee for their lives.

With Tang Zhen's personal confirmation and the fact that they were not similar in some aspects, the concerns in everyone's hearts were dispelled.

For the next few days, all you need to do is follow the instructions and work hard to manage the temporary gathering place.

Now that things have come to this, they also believe Tang Zhen's judgment and think that the future of the mountain city settlement is worrying.

Since such a hidden danger exists, we must never put ourselves in danger.

Similarly, some people noticed that the ten men and women who followed Tang Zhen underwent miraculous changes that were visible to the naked eye.

Before this, they were all timid survivors, looking no different from anyone else.

However, ever since he followed Tang Zhen to hunt monsters in the ruins, his temperament has undergone a dramatic change.

A glint of light flashed in his eyes, and his demeanor grew increasingly confident and fierce, like a rusty iron awl being sharpened to a point, giving off an aura of undisguised ruthlessness. Some survivors followed the group, responsible for collecting and transporting the monster corpses, and had witnessed them hunting monsters firsthand.

His skills and speed were completely different from before, and he was in no way inferior to some martial arts masters.

Such a significant change in just a few days is truly unbelievable.

Everyone who saw this was filled with envy.

The transformation of these ten men and women was entirely due to Tang Zhen's guidance and instruction; it was truly miraculous.

While feeling envious, some people were also wondering if they could have such an opportunity themselves.
Little did they know that, limited by their spiritual roots and talents, the vast majority of survivors in this world were destined never to reach the extraordinary level.

Several days later, one of the women broke through first and successfully condensed spiritual veins in her body.

The woman was overjoyed; she never dreamed that she would have the opportunity to become a cultivator!
This method of cultivation has significant drawbacks, but it is undoubtedly the best choice at present.

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. There is no such thing as gaining benefits without paying a price.

Tang Zhen had already explained all the pros and cons beforehand, and everyone agreed.

Women who have completed their advancement are several times stronger than ordinary people, and can even hunt monsters single-handedly.

The other nine companions, even when attacking together, were still no match for the woman.

Seeing the incredible power of those who had advanced to the extraordinary level, everyone's hearts burned even brighter, yearning to become just as powerful themselves.

Without Tang Zhen's orders, they would hunt monsters on their own and extract their essence to aid their cultivation.

The vines and fruits grown using monster corpses as fertilizer are considered a sacred tonic for these cultivators.

Eating a dozen or so of these daily can greatly benefit one's spiritual practice, making one's muscles and bones stronger and more resilient.

With dual benefits at play, people are naturally more motivated to hunt.

Unbeknownst to them, their actions caused considerable panic in the surrounding area, with many residents fleeing the scene.

They were terrified that they might accidentally get caught in the crossfire and lose their lives without even realizing it.

Once the bizarre and terrifying monster becomes a target for hunting, it can no longer be arrogant.

If they continue to stay, they will inevitably be hunted down and become fuel for their cultivation.

Although the monsters were ferocious, they were not mindless. When they realized something was wrong, they all left the central area of ​​the city.

They headed to other parts of the city, or even ventured into the wilderness, not daring to linger in the city.

However, there were also powerful monsters and reckless survivors who attempted to attack Tang Zhen and his group.

Tang Zhen never personally took action; instead, he directed from the sidelines, with ten men and women responsible for fighting the enemy.

As the battle continued, their skills became increasingly refined, progressing by leaps and bounds.

The stronger the group became, the more awe they felt towards Tang Zhen. Only they truly felt that Tang Zhen's strength was beyond their imagination.

If they don't make a move, all is well; but once they do, it will be earth-shattering!
As the hunt continued, many survivors from the surrounding area came seeking to become stronger or gain Tang Zhen's protection.

Although Tang Zhen never made any promises from beginning to end, they still actively joined the temporary gathering place.

Only then were they allowed to enter the building and see the astonishing, blood-red giant vine.

Inside the building, there was a huge plant that was over forty meters tall, with its branches and leaves growing and climbing outwards towards the surrounding fence.

The tree is lush and leafy, laden with fruit, and a unique fragrance wafts through the air.

The survivors in those settlements, though dressed in tattered clothes, were full of spirit, completely different from the other survivors.

The facts are sufficient to prove that while other survivors were still struggling to survive, the survivors here had already achieved a life of plenty.
