Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 47: A visitor from West Lake (Additional update thanks to the support of "Wu Bu Ji Dao")

Although Li Mu is not an expert in construction, he is well aware of the important aspects of building a house.

The first thing is, of course, a solid foundation, which is the key to ensure that the house will stand firm.

Secondly, during the construction process, attention must be paid to the setting of the load-bearing points. For example, the load-bearing columns of high-rise buildings are usually made of reinforced concrete, and their quality directly affects the overall stability of the building.

Finally, we need to ensure the building’s circulation system, which is the key to future living comfort.

In the process of building a dungeon, the following three points are crucial, otherwise it will fall into a state of self-destruction.

"Old Li, the people from the West Lake Shelter are here, led by Tang Anguo, and he specifically asked for you."

Just as Li Mu was planning how to build an underground city in a tunnel thirty meters deep, Asao's voice came from above.

"I'll be right up."

Li Mu responded, grabbed the vines tightly, and gradually rose to the ground.

“Where are they now?”

"I have taken you to the second floor of the City Lord's Mansion. I am waiting for you."

Hearing this, Li Mu dusted himself off, straightened his clothes, and then followed Asao to the second floor.

Pushing open the door of the conference room, Li Mu found that Tang Anguo and five other strangers were sitting at the conference table. Although they looked calm on the outside, their wandering eyes could hardly conceal their inner anxiety.

Seeing Li Mu coming in, Tang Anguo immediately stood up and greeted him warmly, extending his right hand as he walked in, "City Lord Li, we haven't seen each other for several months."

Li Mu walked forward and shook hands tightly with Tang Anguo, "Yes, it has been a few months." Then, he went straight to the point, "I wonder what brings you here this time?"

Seeing Li Mu's directness, Tang Anguo stopped beating around the bush and stated his purpose directly.

"You should have noticed the changes in the sun. We just received intelligence that the solar flare has erupted again. It is estimated that in a month, the temperature of the blue planet will drop sharply to below minus 120 degrees!"

"Is the information accurate?"

"This is an emergency report from Kyoto. It is accurate."

Tang Anguo answered in a firm tone.

"I see. Please continue."

"The supplies in our shelter are no longer enough to survive this disaster, so we came here specifically to seek your help."

Li Mu's expression immediately became serious when he heard this. "Is the situation in the shelter really so serious? I remember that you can provide residents with two meals a day, right?"

Tang Anguo smiled bitterly and said, “Before, we were able to hold on because we had a hunting team that could hunt mutant beasts and accidentally discovered a granary with abundant food storage.

But now, the temperature continues to drop, and the number of mutant beasts still alive is unknown. The hunting team will definitely not be able to go out and hunt mutant beasts like before. "

“Besides, you don’t know how much food our shelter consumes every day.

Not to mention meat and vegetables, each person needs at least 100 grams of staple food per day to maintain basic survival needs. There are people in our shelter now, and the daily food consumption is at least kilograms, and this is just calculated based on the minimum standard. "

Hearing this, Li Mu felt under tremendous pressure.

"How much grain is left in the granary?"

Li Mu continued to ask.

"We currently have 500,000 kilograms of rice, but this can only support the shelter for one year. Without a stable supply, we will have no choice but to eat up all the food." "Another question, due to the lack of sufficient animal blood irrigation and the lower temperature, can the crop seeds you provided before still grow normally?"

Tang Anguo mentioned the seeds that Li Mu had transformed.

"Without animal blood, the crops will only grow slower, but I can't guarantee whether they can survive in the low temperature of minus 120 degrees Celsius. After all, I didn't expect the current situation at the beginning."

"If I remember correctly, the first batch of blood wheat you planted should be mature in half a month, right?"

Li Mu calculated the time and it had been almost three months.

"Yes, but it's not half a month, but a week. It may be because the beast blood is replenished enough, so it's a few days earlier."

Then, he changed the subject and talked about the difficulties faced by the shelter: "What we need most now is not only food, but more importantly, warmth.

There are no coal mines available for collection in Lin'an, and it is difficult to find enough firewood in the surrounding environment.

If you don’t have enough to eat, at most you will suffer from malnutrition, but in such a low temperature environment, it may directly threaten your life, not to mention that we are now facing a food shortage problem.”

The plight of the shelter is like a leaking roof when it rains all night, and the hemp rope will break at the thinnest point.

When Li Mu heard this, he felt even more depressed.

Just a few months ago, humans were the masters of the blue planet, but now, they are facing the crisis of extinction at any time.

"I have a general understanding of the situation and what kind of help the shelter wants me to provide."

After Li Mu gave in, Tang Anguo's nervous expression immediately relaxed. He smiled and replied, "Mayor Qian asked you to pay back the tens of thousands of kilograms of grain you owe first."

Li Mu couldn't help but smile when he heard this. He had not forgotten about this matter, but the first batch of grain in Wanling City had not yet matured, and he did not have that much grain to return.

"Wanling City doesn't have that much food right now. I wonder if we can use other things to pay off the debt?"

"Other things? What do you mean?"

Tang Anguo couldn't guess what Li Mu would use to pay off his debt.

"Come, sit down and let's discuss this."

Li Mu pulled Tang Anguo to sit down at the conference table. With a wave of his hand, a grape vine and an apple tree immediately sprang up from the ground. Soon, they were full of tempting purple Kyoho grapes and red Fuji apples.

"You're welcome, enjoy it. You can take a portion with you when you leave." Li Mu invited everyone warmly.

The people in the shelter had never seen such a magical scene before, and they were all stunned for a moment.

Although they had heard before coming that City Lord Li was a wood-type awakener, but in their understanding, wouldn't a wood-type awakener be able to control plants to attack?

But how come City Lord Li’s performance is like a magic trick, with just a wave of his hand, a bunch of fruits appear!

With this ability, food would be readily available. No wonder the shelter sent them here for support.

Although Tang Anguo had seen Li Mu in action, he also knew that Li Mu's abilities were amazing. After all, those magical crop seeds were transformed by him.

But he is also an awakener, so why can his fire ability only be used to set fires?
"Damn, the gap between awakened people is bigger than that between humans and dogs!"

Tang Anguo suppressed his inner roar and said to the people who were still standing there stupidly, "You haven't eaten such fresh fruit for a long time, right? Eat it up, and don't be polite to City Lord Li."

Please give me a monthly ticket and a recommendation. I will push it to the smart home right now. I hope you will stop supporting it. The book is dying.
