The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 210 The Situation of the Other Two Shelters

In fact, farming is a science.

There are always some people who think that farming is just sowing seeds on the ground and then there will be a harvest next year.

If it were that easy, who would go to work?
The rich have already gone to farm, so how could the poor have the chance to do so?
Farming requires consideration of many aspects, from soil fertilization, to seed selection and weeding, insect control and pesticide spraying, fruit thinning and seedling cultivation, each of which is a science.

Otherwise, how could there be an agricultural university?

Among Liang Yuan and his group, no one had ever specialized in agricultural planting.

Even the elderly people like Aunt Li used to farm when they were young, but they don’t have any professional knowledge, they just have farming experience.

But now the world has changed, all living things are evolving, and plants are no exception.

Previous farming experience may not be useful at this moment.

For example, when it comes to seed selection, you used to be able to buy high-quality varieties directly online.

But where can you buy good quality seeds now?
Even if Liang Yuan and his team found high-quality seeds while collecting supplies, who knows whether these seeds are suitable for planting in the current environment?

In fact, there is no need to think about it, the probability is that it is not suitable.

There have been heavy rains in the past six months, and there has been no sunlight. How can seeds germinate and thrive?

Only the mutated plant seeds are now suitable for survival.

When Liang Yuan thought of this, he became more and more aware of the importance of the taro he found.

"It seems that this batch of taro must be preserved at all costs, and we must find a way to grow it on a large scale."

"In addition, we have to lead people to search for edible plants in the nearby forests and prepare for artificial transplantation and cultivation."

"I'll have to tell Song Wen and the others about this later."

After talking about planting, Liang Yuan asked about the experience in breeding.

"Brother Meng, how is your breeding going?"

Wu Meng said: "You can ask Teacher Li and Yawei about this. They can handle it. I don't really care about these things."

Liang Yuan turned his head and saw that Yue Yawei, Gao Jie and others were visiting the bathroom and bedroom of Liang Yuan's house, screaming from time to time.

"Wow, Estee Lauder Essence! Brother Liang actually has this stuff here!"

"Oh my god, refrigerator, he actually has a refrigerator here."

"Hey, if we had a refrigerator, we wouldn't have to smoke meat all day."

"Oh my god, look at the kitchen. It has a stove and an induction cooker. Oh my god, I'm so envious. Every time I cook, I have to burn firewood."

"Me too. In this heavy rain, the branches and hay outside can't burn at all. Only pine wood and fire bamboo can be lit. Every time I light a fire, the smoke is so choking that I'm dying."

The two women discussed excitedly, their faces full of envy.

Liang Yuan had no choice but to look at Li Yuejin.

Li Yuejin smiled and said, "Let me tell you, Mr. Liang, we currently have two breeding bases."

"One is aquaculture, which is relatively simple. We just dug a reservoir near the shelter and caught fish from the flood and put them in."

"This is also to cope with emergencies. The scale of breeding is not large."

"Then there is a breeding base, which is managed by Xiaoyue, and it mainly breeds red chickens."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan quickly asked, "Red chicken? What is that?"

Li Yuejin smiled and said, "The red chicken is a mutant beast from Yangshan. We don't know where it came from. This red chicken has fiery red feathers all over its body. It is not afraid of rain and can fly at low altitude, but it can't fly far."

"It mainly feeds on insects, vegetable leaves and the like. We discovered it by accident, and then caught a few and started breeding them."

"The results have been very good over the past few months. Although the meat yield of red chickens is not high, the egg production rate is not low. Moreover, they can be marketed in two months and grow very fast."

"This is also a unique agricultural and sideline product of our Wuwang Pavilion. At the end of each month in the Gouwu Pavilion trading market, our red chicken is also a popular commodity."

Liang Yuan couldn't help but ask: "Is there anything I should pay attention to when raising red chickens?"

"There are quite a few. Raising red chickens is similar to raising normal chickens. They need a closed environment, preferably in a cave. This way, they can avoid heavy rains and make it easier to collect eggs."

"Secondly, it can also effectively prevent attacks from other carnivorous mutant beasts."

"Secondly, we have to pay attention to cockfighting between red chickens and the like. Anyway, there are a lot of details."

"There happens to be a self-employed person in our shelter who used to raise chickens. They know more about this."

At this point, Li Yuejin smiled and said, "Mr. Liang, if you have time, you can visit our shelter."

"The most suitable animal to raise here is actually the fire bamboo rat."

"Fire bamboo rats live in bamboo forests. A litter can have seven or eight cubs, and three litters can be produced every year. If done well, this is actually a good project."

Liang Yuan nodded and said with emotion: "Animal husbandry is also a profound subject. I will bring people to your place to learn from you later."

The two sides discussed many plans and suggestions for shelter construction.

With mature cases like Wuwangting, Liang Yuan and his team can indeed avoid many detours.

Of course, although no one mentioned any compensation for the learning experience, Liang Yuan knew very well that he would definitely have to show some appreciation when the time came.

After talking about the construction of the shelter, Liang Yuan asked about the situation of the other two shelters.

"Brother Meng, what's the situation with the two shelters to the south and west? I wish they could be as easy to deal with as you."

Li Yuejin, who was standing by, was about to drink some water when he suddenly heard Liang Yuan praising Wu Meng for being easy to deal with. He almost spit out a mouthful of water.

He thought to himself that Wu Meng was not someone that everyone could like or talk to.

If Liang Yuan hadn't been able to accept Wu Meng's challenge, how could Wu Meng have wasted time talking to him?

There is no way that Fire Bamboo Forest, such a good place, could be given to him.

Wu Meng recognized Liang Yuan's strength and believed that he had the ability to lead a group of people to defend the Fire Bamboo Forest and survive. This was the basis for their equal communication.

If you say Wu Meng is easy to talk to, you are totally wrong.

Li Yuejin still remembers that when Tu Long and Hong Fu's men first clashed with Wu Wangting's men in the fight for the water-avoiding talisman, Wu Meng almost went straight to Fenghuang Temple to kill them.

Wu Meng smiled and said, "Those two are not as easy to talk to as I am."

"Li Yuefeng in the west occupied the Meihai scenic spot. He used the original Meihai Garden wall as a barrier and opened up a place over there as a refuge. We usually call it the Meihai Refuge."

"Li Yuefeng and his group are the smallest among our four camps, with only about a hundred people, about the same as you."

"He ran away from Qinyu Villa in the villa area. He is a big boss and very smart. His awakened supernatural power is also very powerful. He is one of the first people to run up the mountain."

"Now they are not only breeding Fire Cloud Rabbits in Meihai Garden, but also breeding Plum Blossom Pigs. It is right inside Meihai Garden. The breeding scale is not small. Every time Gou Wu Pavilion trades, they can bring two Plum Blossom Pigs to participate in the transaction."

Liang Yuan frowned and asked, "He is very powerful? What is his special ability?"

Li Yuejin said: "Li Yuefeng is called the [Yangshan Pirate King]. This person has awakened an ability similar to that of a young anime protagonist. His body is like plasticine and can shrink and deform at will. He is almost immune to all physical attacks."

Liang Yuan was shocked: "Pirate King Luffy? This guy has awakened the rubber power?"

"Not exactly the same. Not as powerful as in the anime, but it can indeed ignore a lot of physical damage."

At this time, Yuan Rui also interrupted and said, "Li Yuefeng's ability is disgusting, but I happen to be able to restrain him. Even if his body can be kneaded at will and is not afraid of physical attacks, as long as I pull him deep underground, he will suffocate to death."

Wu Meng smiled and said, "That requires you to have a chance to contact him. He is not alone."

"Speaking of which, his ability actually has a greater restraint on me. No matter how strong I am, it is difficult to hurt him."

"This is also the reason why I have been practicing the Explosive Fist. Only by creating blood flames and burning at high temperatures can I really hurt his plasticine physique."

Liang Yuan was surprised when he heard this: "Plasticine physique... actually has this ability."

Wu Meng immediately smiled and said, "But his ability is somewhat restrained by you. Your mental attack ability is actually quite threatening to him."

"By the way, are all space ability users' mental powers as strong as yours? Can they all form mental attacks independently?"

Liang Yuan immediately shook his head and said, "I don't know about this either. I haven't met anyone with abilities similar to mine yet."

Wu Meng nodded and said with emotion: "Indeed, everyone's genes are different, and their choices are different, so their awakened abilities must be different."

"These abilities are as unique as everyone's fingerprints."

"Even if they are the same type of abilities, there will be subtle differences."

Liang Yuan didn't let them dwell on their abilities, and immediately changed the subject, asking, "What are the Fire Cloud Rabbits and Plum Blossom Pigs they raise? I don't think I've ever heard of this kind of mutant beast."

Wu Meng said: "The Fire Cloud Rabbit is a mutant species of wild rabbit. Its fur is fiery red, its claws are sharp, and its jumping ability is very strong. It is very difficult to catch." "It has a hot temper and is somewhat aggressive, but it seems that this Fire Cloud Rabbit is a mutant grass beast."

"Each one is as big as a Shiba Inu, has a high meat yield, and can breathe fire."

"This kind of Fire Cloud Rabbit is regarded as a cash cow by the Li Yuefeng Shelter. They never sell live Fire Cloud Rabbits to the public, only rabbit meat."

"As for the Plum Blossom Pig, it is a mutant wild boar, an omnivorous mutant beast, famous for the plum blossom spots on its body. Its meat is tender and fragrant. It mostly lives near the Plum Sea Garden and likes to eat plum blossoms and plums."

"This kind of plum-blossom pig also has a high meat yield, and is gentle and timid. I heard that Tian Wei and others in Yu Ri Ting also raise them."

After listening to this, Liang Yuan became thoughtful. These two mutant beasts are not very aggressive, so their points may not be too high.

Li Yuejin said: "We all speculate that the Fire Cloud Rabbit and Plum Blossom Pig are most likely mutations of domestic pigs and rabbits, which is why the degree of mutation is not high."

Liang Yuan nodded and said, "The domesticated mutants still have their inherent habits, so they are easy to breed."

"By the way, you just mentioned the Sun Bathing Pavilion? Is this the fourth shelter?"

Wu Meng nodded: "Yes, Yuri Pavilion is the refuge south of Yangshan Mountain. It is formed by people from the Zhongyue Hongti Community, and the leader is Tian Wei."

"Tian Wei has a bad temper. His supernatural power is fire. I wonder if his temper is affected by his supernatural power."

"His fire ability is very powerful. In addition, he has mastered the method of making explosive runes. He is simply a mobile explosives depot. We usually rarely deal with him."

"Tian Wei occupied the main entrance to the mining area. After they occupied the mining area, most of the supernatural stones were controlled by them."

"This group of people also has the largest number of people and the most psychics among the four major shelters."

"I heard that Tian Wei is now the local tyrant in the shelter. He has dug a lot of mines in the mining area to serve as shelter camps."

"He enslaved many ordinary people to dig for supernatural stones and find food and drink for him."

"We have rescued some people who escaped from his shelter, and they told us about the situation there."

Wu Meng's face darkened slightly, and his tone was very cold when he spoke of Tian Wei.

Obviously, the approach of people like Tian Wei is completely different from his philosophy of uniting everyone.

Tian Wei is a person similar to Liu Erlong, selfish and lawless to a certain extent.

"Brother Meng, is there no one to deal with this kind of person?" Liang Yuan asked.

What he meant was actually to ask Wu Meng why he didn't deal with this guy.

Wu Meng shook his head: "It's not easy to deal with him. His ability is fire. My flesh and blood grow and recover quickly, but his fire ability, plus a large number of explosive runes, may kill me instantly."

"Even with my special powers, I won't be able to recover from my injuries in time."

"Secondly, if he were to sneak over and blow up Wuwang Pavilion, the consequences would be even more disastrous."

"So if we are not absolutely sure that we can kill him, none of us will easily provoke this lunatic."

Liang Yuan suddenly realized that he was being cautious.

Both Wu Meng and several other shelter leaders were worried that the other side would be defeated.

No one wants to take that risk.

Liang Yuan couldn't help but sigh. Once they have concerns, no matter how powerful the psychics are, they have to learn to compromise and consider the overall situation.

Even someone as powerful as Wu Meng has to consider the shelter for his subordinates.

The sense of crisis in his heart became stronger and stronger.

"Not only do I lack unique supplies, I also lack overwhelming strength."

"That's why Tu Long and Hong Fu from Phoenix Temple dared to plot against me."

"If I can crush Tu Long and the others by myself, how dare they use the Fire Bamboo Forest to play tricks on me."

"No, I must improve my strength as quickly as possible, to the point where I can crush everyone in the four major camps!"

"When the time comes, we will unify the entire Yangshan Mountain, and then we can improve our strength and sit back and wait for this torrential rain to pass."

Thinking of this, Liang Yuan's thoughts became clear. The most urgent task at the moment was to stay alive, develop slowly, accumulate points, and then draw lots like crazy.

He needs to improve his attributes as soon as possible.

Then draw as many skills as possible!
It is best to draw a more powerful offensive skill!
"Time, I need time!"

"As long as I am given enough time, I will definitely become the strongest person in Yangshan."

Liang Yuan thought to himself.

At this time, Yang Mei had already prepared the grilled fish with Wu Qian and others.

"Brother, the grilled fish is ready, let's all come out and eat."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Meng, Teacher Li, let's all come out for dinner."

Wu Meng, Li Yuejin and others stood up and walked towards the bamboo building outside the cave.

As soon as I came out of the cave, a spicy and fragrant smell came to me.

In an instant, everyone in Wuwang Pavilion widened their eyes and swallowed saliva violently.

I saw several tables placed in the bamboo building, and there was a grilled fish plate on each table.

It was completely different from what they imagined, fish grilled over fire.

This is the grilled fish with green peppercorns that I saw in restaurants before the great flood!

The fish had been baked until golden on both sides, cut into pieces, and placed in a rectangular baking pan.

Surrounding the grilled fish, there are actually a lot of green vegetables, bean sprouts, bean curd sheets, potato skins and other ingredients.

The red chili oil is poured on the grilled fish, and the fresh, spicy and fragrant smell fills the entire bamboo house.

There was actually a layer of green and red peppercorns in the soup. With the residual heat from the charcoal fire, the red soup boiled and bubbling with hot steam.

"Wow, this...is this...Jiangzhou grilled fish?"

"Mr. Liang, why...why do you still have so many seasonings here?"

"Oh my god, where did you get the peppercorns? I love fish with peppercorns the most."

"Mr. Liang, do you call this grilled fish?"

Wu Meng was also stunned. The spicy taste stimulated his taste buds and made him secrete a lot of saliva.

Even though he was mentally tough, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He couldn't help turning his head to look at Liang Yuan: "Brother, you... are you making this too grand?"

Liang Yuan smiled and said, "These are all mutant fish, caught from the flood. What's so grand about it? Everyone, take your seats."

He asked everyone to take their seats. Yang Shenmin and the others were already used to the delicious food in Liang Yuan, and they all swallowed their saliva and looked for seats.

Yue Yawei, Gao Jie, Bai Zhilei and other girls immediately chose a good seat without any image, and several girls swallowed their saliva.

Yue Yawei said loudly: "Brother Liang, are you kidding me? Brother Meng is not talking about fish, he is talking about these ingredients."

"Not to mention the vegetables, the green peppercorns, the red peppers, the red oil, oh my god, my mouth is watering, where did you find all these ingredients?"

"Yes, Brother Liang, you don't know how long it has been since I last ate chili peppers. I'm from Sichuan, and it smells so good." Gao Jie even spoke with a Sichuan girl's accent.

Bai Zhilei even covered her mouth, fearing that her saliva would flow out, and shouted, "Brother Liang, after we finish eating, can I take the soup away? I want to go back and make some noodles or something. This smells so good."

Liang Yuan was amused by their appearance and said, "These are all pre-prepared dishes. We found the pre-prepared seasoning packets in the restaurant before we came to Yangshan."

"All the food was taken away, and these pre-made seasoning packets were all that was left."

"As for vegetables, they are indeed precious, and we don't have many left here."

Li Yuejin couldn't help but look regretful and said, "Mr. Liang, these peppercorns are not from pre-prepared dishes, right? They can be planted as seeds, maybe they can be cultivated."

Liang Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said, "I still have peppercorns. I'll give you some as seeds later."

He immediately laughed and said, "In fact, there are wild peppercorns on Yangshan. I remember seeing wild peppercorns on the mountain trails when I visited Yangshan before the flood. I wonder what has happened to the peppercorns now and whether they are still there."

"I'd like to go and see it if I have a chance."

Wu Meng became interested and said, "Brother, don't go alone into the deep forest on the mountain. Some mutant beasts there evolve very quickly. Be careful. If you really want to go, bring more people with you."

Liang Yuan smiled and nodded in agreement, then called everyone and said, "Everyone, let's eat the fish. Stop talking. Come on, eat."

As soon as the words fell, Bai Zhilei, the most well-behaved girl, suddenly raised her bowl and chopsticks and shouted, "I'm going to eat!"

As for the others, they didn't even have time to say anything and immediately picked up their chopsticks, fearing that they would miss a bite!
