National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants.

Chapter 59 Severe Situation

Mu Yuan ordered Zhang Qing to be detained in the cell, and said with a heavy face, "Now, you can only stay in Guancheng temporarily. Skynet is disconnected, and the port teleportation array is also unable to work. I'm sorry, I promised to send you back intact, but unfortunately..."

Lin Zhi calmly accepted this reality and said, "Uncle Mu, don't blame yourself. If you can't go back, then don't go. Now is a difficult time, let me help defend the city."

It’s not that he suddenly became a passionate young man and wanted to make a contribution to the league.

But now he and the Great Wall share the same fate. If the Great Wall is breached, he will only end up dead.

So for now I can only contribute to the best of my ability, and wait until my strength is fully restored, and then make plans whether to leave or stay.

"You? Well, then follow Hu Zi to repair the mechanical spiritual plants!" Mu Yuan sighed.

Lin Zhi quickly shook his head.

What's the point of repairing the mechanical spirit plant? There are not many logistical materials left in the city, even if there is the scale fire magnesium that I submitted before, right?
It has no effect on the battle situation at all.

He said, "Uncle Mu, the LAN is still connected, so our shortcoming is supplies, right?"

Mu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then replied, "Yes, as for metals, they can be reused by recycling the damaged spiritual plants. But if the spiritual energy and the soldiers' food are used freely, they will only be enough to support them for three days."

Lin Zhi was silent. He had not expected that the logistical shortage had become so serious.

"Don't we have any productive spiritual plants?"

he asked curiously.

"Production-type spiritual plants also require a large amount of spiritual energy support. Originally, we had Skynet coverage and normal logistics transportation. With sufficient spiritual energy, each battalion only needed one logistics team to supply the entire battalion.

The spiritual energy is scarce, and the harvested materials are not enough to provide a meal for everyone by relying on the source earth field to absorb energy. "

Mu Yuan explained.

As the body cultivation of gardeners and gods improves, their life levels also grow, and the food they need for their bodies needs to be higher and higher quality.

If the energy and nutrition contained in food do not meet the standards, the body will burn fat, muscle and internal organs to make up for the deficit.

Therefore, the higher the level of cultivation, the greater the consumption.

……

In order to streamline the structure, the legion previously assigned each gardener in a battalion his or her own position. Under normal circumstances, a battalion would have only 10 teams, with one team responsible for logistics and one team responsible for maintaining the mechanical spiritual plants. This was more than enough.

But now Skynet is down, logistics is cut off, supplies are gone, and if the soldiers have no food, they can only wait to die.

With this in mind, Lin Zhi immediately expanded the Source Earth Domain, controlled the tree house warehouse, and moved out the red iron mushroom he had obtained previously.

It is roughly estimated that there are more than 40,000 tons of these red iron mushrooms, which he saved after destroying the blood-sucking demon ants in nearly dozens of ant nests.

When Mu Yuan saw the hill-like red iron mushrooms appear in front of him, he was stunned.

"Uncle Mu, are these enough?"

"That's enough. There are only more than a thousand of us in total. Although the red iron mushrooms don't contain much energy, 10 kilograms of concentrated paste is enough to sustain the life activities of a Blue Star Realm gardener for a day. Even for a Red Moon Realm gardener, 100 kilograms of it can be refined into food essence, which is enough. If all the people in Guancheng consume 20 tons a day, they can last for 5 years!!!"

Mu Yuan looked at Lin Zhi in disbelief. He really couldn't understand why the other party not only had an extremely precious tree house, but also used a space warehouse that others coveted to store this kind of red iron mushroom food that was not of great value?
Of course, these foods are not worth much at ordinary times, but now, they would not be exchanged for gold!
"Okay, okay, with these foods, we don't need to worry about food anymore. We can also separate some of them, crush them, make compost, and make simple fertilizers to supply spiritual plants."

Mu Yuan said.

"No, the extra red iron mushrooms will be given to the neighboring military camps. The Great Wall is an integrated whole. As for the resources needed by the spiritual plants, I have a way."

Lin Zhidao.

"Do you have a way to get the supplies?"

Mu Yuan was surprised.

Lin Zhi's production of more than 40,000 tons of red iron mushrooms was already a pleasant surprise, and it made him extremely excited.

Hearing that Lin Zhi also had a way to deal with supplies, Mu Yuan looked at Lin Zhi with enthusiasm.

Finally, he managed to say, "As expected of a top-notch county school student."

"hehe"

Lin Zhi just felt awkward and didn't know how to respond. He silently pointed at the golden stalagmite in the source soil and said, "It will take two days before it can go deep into the underground lava and absorb extraordinary metals and other substances."

Mu Yuan couldn't help but look at where Lin Zhi pointed. "Golden stalagmite!!!"

Mu Yuan couldn't help but raise his voice, "You actually grew it!!!"

Over the past five thousand years, humans have cultivated billions of spiritual plants.

However, among them, there are less than a hundred spiritual plants whose rarity has reached "rare" in the star level.

Among these hundred spiritual plants, most of them are indeed rare, but they are seriously unbalanced, and there are even many wastes.

But!
Golden stalagmites are not included!

Its power is enough to deserve its rarity.

Among the tens of billions of gardener records currently registered in the alliance database, there are only more than a thousand gardeners who have grown golden stalagmites.

"You are simply the savior of our Sparrow Corps!"

Mu Yuan was too excited.

The food includes red iron mushrooms and the resources include golden stalagmites. As long as he can hold on for another two days, good development will be achieved.

Immediately, he sent a message to the Sparrow Legion Command via the local area network.

It was very quick. In less than two minutes, I got a reply.

There are only two points in response.

The first point is to protect Lin Zhi, even if Mu Yuan’s entire battalion dies in battle!
Second, at 10 o'clock tonight, the section of the Great Wall deep in the Red Fire Desert will enter mobile mode, shrinking the Great Wall's defense line.

……

"So, we are going to give up the Black Ice Continent that we have worked so hard to occupy for decades and withdraw the Great Wall to the coastal ports of the Black Ice Continent?"

Lin Zhi asked.

"Yes! This is the only solution. If the Great Wall is breached, the enemy will directly retake the Black Ice Continent and march to the Purple Gold Floating Island. At that time, the situation will be even more uncontrollable."

Mu Yuan sighed.

"What exactly happened?"

Lin Zhi continued to ask.

"I don't know. It feels like there is an invisible hand pushing everything forward, and we are being led by the nose." Mu Yuan said.

“Will it be the Dog Lovers Association?”

Mu Yuan shook his head and said, “It’s impossible. Once this kind of cult becomes large in scale, it will be easily noticed by the alliance. Only some unknown small organizations will have never heard of it.

There are currently more than 20 cult organizations on the Alliance's record that are difficult to eradicate, and this Dog Lovers Association is not one of them."

"Oh, this is really difficult."

Lin Zhi felt powerless.

"Don't think too much. We are the closest to the port. We just need to wait for the Great Wall in front to be withdrawn. We will have sufficient manpower and resources."

Mu Yuan patted Lin Zhi on the shoulder and returned to the Guancheng military camp.

Lin Zhi had no choice but to return to the originally arranged residence and met Hu Zi again.

After not seeing him for a few days, he found that Hu Zi looked much more haggard.

Obviously, he was tired from the increasing maintenance tasks.

For the next two days, Lin Zhi stayed with Hu Zi to help.

On the morning of the third day after returning to Guancheng, he unfolded the Source Earth Realm and materialized the golden stalagmite into reality.

With a thought, Lin Zhi activated the golden stalagmite's ability, "Earth Escape Technique".
