Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 75 Responsibilities
Ignoring the shocked expressions of the soldiers below him, Li Mu called out to the others around him, then jumped down with a morning glory in his right hand and landed on the city wall.

The people behind him followed suit and jumped down one by one after Li Mu.

At this time, Tang Anguo came to Li Mu and invited him,

"I have sent someone to notify the two hundred people who need to be relocated, but it will take some time for them to gather. The three city lords, please come with me and have a cup of hot tea and wait for a while."

Li Mu smiled and replied,
"No need to drink tea, we can just wait here. I would also like to trouble Captain Tang to notify the two hundred people who were transferred this afternoon. We want to take them all away this time."

Tang Anguo was surprised when he heard this.

"Take them together, not twice a day, morning and evening?"

Li Mu continued to reply,

"Not only today, but from now on, all 400 people will be transferred together. I hope I didn't cause any trouble to Captain Tang by suddenly changing the transfer method."

Tang Anguo waved his hand and said,

"No trouble, no trouble. City Lord Li, wait a moment. I will send someone to notify them right away."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Anguo waved his hand to call the soldiers beside him, whispered a few words to him, and then stood beside Li Mu with his hands behind his back.

After a while, a steady stream of people began to emerge from under the city wall, gathering in groups of three or five towards one place.

When they got closer, Li Mu could see clearly that there were men, women, young and old among these people, but the majority were between 20 and 40 years old, and there were only a dozen or so elderly people and children.

The reason for this situation is easy to understand. The current environment is so harsh that it is estimated that most of the elderly and children have died due to extreme cold in the early stages of the Ice Age.

Therefore, most of the people who survived were young and middle-aged people with strong physiques.

These young men were carrying a big bag. From the corners of clothes sticking out of the bag, it could be seen that the bags were filled with clothes, quilts and other things.

Li Mu judged that this was probably one of their few possessions.

Judging from their appearance, they all looked pale and thin, as if they had not eaten enough for a long time.

Li Mu looked at the group of refugee residents who looked like disaster victims and asked in a cold voice without turning his head,

"Captain Tang, don't the shelters have two meals a day now?"

Tang Anguo also knew what Li Mu meant, so he smiled awkwardly and replied:
“Although the shelter still provides two meals a day, the portion of each meal has been reduced.

And as you know, the shelter is under great pressure to provide food, so for those who don’t contribute much on weekdays, we can only guarantee the most basic food supply.”

"This is the only solution, but now it's good. They are going to move to Wanling City. With the strength of City Lord Li, he can definitely provide them with a better life."

Li Mu sighed when he heard this. He knew that the current situation could not be entirely blamed on the West Lake Shelter.

The end of the world is an environment where the strong prey on the weak. It is already very good that the shelter can provide food to all residents.

Although some were malnourished, at least most people would not starve to death.

Besides, many ordinary people are not of much use to shelters.

Young and middle-aged people can still do some physical work, but the elderly and children are basically useless.

In peacetime, children are the hope of the future and naturally receive a high level of protection.

But in the end times, everyone is living in precarious conditions, and few people will consider the continuation of humanity in another 10 or 20 years.

Looking at these confused fellow tribesmen, Li Mu felt more and more that he had a heavy responsibility.

He knew that he had enough power and strength, as well as enough responsibility to save these people who were also Chinese children! The speed at which the crowd gathered was not slow. In just over ten minutes, more than 400 people had gathered.

Although it was agreed that a total of 2,000 people would be relocated, with 400 people being relocated each time, most of the relocated people were families with their families, so it was normal to have some extra people.

Although there were more than 400 people gathered together, it was not noisy and the whole team was very quiet.

Perhaps because they knew in advance that they would be relocated to another shelter twenty miles away, fear of this journey was written all over the faces of most people.

But some others looked excited, probably because their lives, which had been like a stagnant pool, had seen a glimmer of hope.

But there is a hint of confusion in everyone's eyes, and no one knows what their future life will be like.

……

"City Lord Li, the 400 people we need to transfer have gathered. Shall we set off now?"

Tang Anguo, who had been standing on the city wall for nearly half an hour, asked Li Mu.

After hearing Tang Anguo's words, Li Mu, who had been like a sculpture, finally moved, turned around and asked lightly.

"Are your people ready? When you come back, you must bring back a thousand Everbright Tree seedlings."

"Don't worry, City Lord Li. I will be the captain again this time. I will lead a team of fifty people."

Li Mu nodded slightly when he heard that, then he condensed a vine and gently lifted the cherry tomatoes off the tree man's head and placed them beside him.

Then he instructed the people behind him,

“Distribute the cherry tomatoes in the basket to the people who are transferring, five per person.”

"Oh, and bring the morning glory too."

The hunting team behind him was stunned when they heard this, not knowing what Li Mu meant, but Yu Shuaikang immediately called out,
"Don't just stand there, come with me and distribute the cherry tomatoes."

As he spoke, he picked up the basket of cherry tomatoes, took the morning glory handed to him by Li Mu, and then walked down the stairs on the city wall.

Seeing this, Yao Chengcheng followed with the others and quickly caught up with Yu Shuaikang who had gone ahead.

Soon, everyone came to the front of the transfer team. Yu Shuaikang opened the basket, took out five cherry tomatoes, held them high above his head, and then put the morning glory to his mouth.
"These are cherry tomatoes that can keep you warm. We will give five to each of you in a while. Don't eat them once you get them. Eat them all when we set off. They can ensure that you will not be troubled by the extreme cold during the transfer."

After Yu Shuaikang finished speaking, he handed the five cherry tomatoes in his hand to a young man in his twenties who was closest to him, and raised his eyebrows to signal him to take them.

Upon seeing this, the young man did not reach out to take it immediately, but stood there at a loss.

Upon seeing this, Yu Shuaikang immediately stuffed all five cherry tomatoes in his mouth, chewed them twice and swallowed them in one gulp.

Then he held up the morning glory and said,

"Don't worry, these fruits are not poisonous. Even if you don't believe me, you should trust the shelter. There is no need for us to go to great lengths to persecute you."

After saying that, he took out five cherry tomatoes from the basket again and handed them to the young man.

The young man was still a little hesitant when he saw this, but after hesitating for a few seconds he reached out and took it.

Hold five cherry tomatoes tightly in your hands!
