Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 112 The Wild Boar Who Fears Death (More Updates Begin! Please Support!)

Twenty minutes had passed when the two found the searching hunting team again.

Seeing that everyone still hadn't found another meteorite, Li Mu considered that they were running out of energy and simply gave the order to return.

Opportunity is like love. If it is destined to happen, it will happen eventually. If it is not destined to happen, don’t force it. When you no longer try your best to look for it, maybe it will suddenly appear in front of you.

An hour and a half later, everyone returned safely to Wanling City.

After settling the wild boar and black bear downstairs and safely storing the meteorite in the laboratory, Li Mu finally arrived at the top-floor conference room.

At this time, Yao Chengcheng and Yu Shuaikang were already waiting here with a report in hand.

"Fortunately, this was not an earthquake, but a meteorite impact. The tree houses on the ground were not seriously damaged, but some residents in the underground city fell off their beds due to the vibration and suffered minor injuries." Yao Chengcheng saw Li Mu come in, raised his head, and explained with a hint of relaxation in his tone.

"As long as no one dies, it is a blessing in disguise. Are there many injured people? Has anyone been arranged to provide timely treatment?" Li Mu took a deep breath, and his tense expression finally relaxed.

"There are more than 30 injured, most of whom are elderly and children."

"And I have arranged for medical staff to provide timely treatment, so it's not a big problem."

Yao Chengcheng changed the subject and said, "But this accident also exposed some shortcomings within Wanling City."

Li Mu couldn't help but ask after hearing this, "What are the shortcomings? Please tell me in detail."

Yao Chengcheng sighed deeply, his eyes sparkling, he spread his hands, and said firmly: "There are two thorny problems that need to be solved urgently.

First, there is a serious shortage of medical personnel. There are only a dozen doctors and nurses in total. How can we deal with the emergency of nearly 3,000 people in the city? Time is running out, and we must train a group of new medical personnel as soon as possible, or introduce them from outside.

Secondly, there is an equally serious shortage of medicines and equipment. We only have a small amount of routine medicines on hand, and once a patient is seriously injured, we will not be able to provide emergency treatment."

Li Mu nodded, "We should hurry up and solve this problem. You can arrange the training. It is unlikely to train professional doctors in a short period of time, but it should not be difficult to train a group of nurses who can deal with minor injuries and illnesses."

After a pause, he turned to look at Yu Shuaikang and said, "As for medicine, you lead the hunting team to the nearest hospital to collect it and bring back everything that can be used."

Yu Shuaikang made an OK gesture and said, "Leave it to me."

Seeing this, Yao Chengcheng continued, "Secondly, the strength of the grassroots is seriously insufficient, and there are only a few dozen source warriors in total.

After this meteor shower, the number and strength of mutant beasts in the wild may explode again. If there is a real beast tide, we will be powerless to resist it."

Li Mu frowned. The overall strength of Wanling City was indeed too low.

"In that case, let's make the breathing method public tomorrow and let everyone practice it. The number of mutant beasts has increased sharply, so let them go out and hunt mutant beasts to replenish the resources for practice."

Upon hearing this, Yao Chengcheng said anxiously, "But their strength is too low. Going out to hunt is tantamount to committing suicide."

“Chengcheng, you have to remember that we can’t always protect everyone. If you want Wanling City to become stronger, you can’t just rely on you and me!
They are not flowers in a greenhouse. They cannot become useful without the trials of blood and fire. If you don't try, how do you know they don't want to go out hunting? " "Besides, I didn't say it was necessary. The choice is in their own hands. Those who dare to fight and fight can enjoy a better life. Those who don't dare can just stay in the city and do other things, and they can still survive. "

Yao Chengcheng sighed when he heard this. He also understood that no matter what you do, nothing is foolproof. If you want to grow, you have to pay a price.

He calmed down and continued, "There is one last thing. We are running low on food, but I have sent people to find a large granary not far away. It's just that we don't have the right tools, so it's difficult to transport food."

"Where did you find it? How much food was in it?"

Yu Shuaikang asked with some surprise.

"It's 20 kilometers west of Wanling City. There should be several hundred tons of rice in it."

Yao Chengcheng smiled proudly. Ever since he heard Tang Anguo say that the West Lake Shelter had found a national reserve granary, he had been keeping this matter in mind.

The next day he sent a team of eight people out to search. He didn't say it before because he hadn't found it yet. Now that he has found it, he doesn't have the ability to transport it, so he can only ask Li Mu for help.

Li Mu laughed, finally hearing good news, "This is not a big problem. As soon as you mentioned it, I thought of a solution."

Yao Chengcheng looked doubtful, "Or should we use the War Tree?"

Li Mu shook his head. "I just caught a mutant wild boar. According to my observation, this wild boar is timid by nature and very afraid of death. It also has a certain level of intelligence and is likely to be tamed."

"As long as we can tame it, we'll have an animal to pull the cart!"

Yao Chengcheng became very interested when he heard this. He didn't know that Li Mu had actually captured a mutant beast alive.

But he still had some doubts about what Li Mu said. Could something as stupid as a pig be tamed?
Besides, it was a wild boar...

Li Mu saw the doubt in his eyes and explained, "Don't disbelieve me. Pigs are indeed lazy and greedy, but they are not stupid at all. Moreover, they are evolved mutants, and their IQ has also improved a bit."

Yu Shuaikang added, "I can prove this. There were three mutant beasts at the time, but the other two were extremely ferocious. Only this wild boar wanted to escape when it saw the situation was not good. It was very afraid of death!"

Yao Chengcheng shrugged, "Then I hope you can tame it sooner, otherwise when there are more mutant beasts, it won't be as easy to go out as it is now."

"Okay, don't worry. At worst, I can bring the tree people to help you get food."

Li Mu smiled. It was nothing more than a matter of making an extra trip. Then he clapped his hands and continued, "The wild boar is down there now. Now is a good time for me to go and see it."

In order to prevent it from hurting people, Li Mu tied it up from top to bottom with vines, leaving only its long nose for breathing. Now, hearing the noise outside, it began to hum continuously.

After a while, Yao Chengcheng said with some emotion, "This wild boar is really big! If it can be tamed, it will definitely be a problem to use it to pull food. If not, if we kill it and eat the meat, it will weigh several thousand kilograms!"
