Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 117 Hunting is about to begin (Thanks to the reward from book friend 170213)
Let’s talk about two things at the same time. It’s in a dormitory on the second floor of the underground city.

A big bearded man looked at a thin middle-aged man beside him and raised his eyebrows and asked,
"Old Wang, I remember hearing you say before that you often went hunting rabbits and pheasants before the end of the world. Is that true or just bragging?"

Lao Wang waved his hand, "That was all in the past, why are you still talking about this now?"

The big man was ecstatic, and then asked, "Don't worry, you have seen the breathing method, right?"

Lao Wang thought for a while and said, "I see. I didn't expect that I can still practice like in martial arts stories. It's unbelievable!"

After sighing, he still asked doubtfully, "Is there any connection between the two?"

The big man smiled and said, "Then do you know that eating mutant beast meat can speed up your cultivation?"

To his surprise, Lao Wang did not show any surprise. "I know. It's spread all over the place!"

"what?!"

This caught the big man off guard. He had spent a day's salary to get this news from the guard two days ago, but now everyone outside knew about it.

"Then let me get straight to business. Although mutant beasts are ferocious, they are still wild beasts after all. Since you were able to catch rabbits and pheasants before, it shouldn't be a problem for you to catch some mutant rabbits and pheasants now, right?"

The big man suddenly said.

Lao Wang frowned, "That's true, but it didn't matter if we couldn't catch him before, but if we can't catch him now, we will lose our lives!"

"After all, mutant beasts are different from ordinary beasts."

Seeing him hesitate, the big man shouted anxiously, "What can you do without danger? Your life is stable now, but don't you want to improve your strength and live a better life?"

After a pause, he seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked in a seductive voice, "I remember that you were a bachelor because your family was poor. Don't you want to move to the ground and marry a wife?"

Old Wang was silent when he heard this. He understood what the big man meant. His family was poor before and he couldn't afford the house or car as a dowry, so he didn't get married until he was almost forty years old.

But this does not mean that he doesn't want to. There is an old saying in China, "A wife, children, and a warm bed." Who doesn't want to live like this?
And now there is such an opportunity. Without saying much, as long as he can catch a few mutant rabbits every day, it will be equivalent to his salary for several months. Then he will have everything.

Just like that, after a cup of tea, Lao Wang gritted his teeth and said, "Done!"

"Good good!"

"As long as you can figure it out, Lao Wang, I'll go get you the tools you need. We have to act quickly."

……

Before Yao Chengcheng announced the breathing method, he asked someone to secretly spread the news that mutant beast meat could promote human awakening.

As the breathing method was announced, the residents who obtained the practice method began to get agitated. Whether for themselves or for their children, everyone began to focus on hunting mutant beasts.

At the same time, several stores opened by the Ministry of the Interior quietly appeared on the streets.

Among them, some sell weapons and armor, some sell news about mutant beasts, and some sell all kinds of magical plants!

For example, in a store that specializes in selling various weapons and armor, there are both cold iron weapons such as swords and knives, as well as hot weapons such as rifles and pistols.

The same goes for armor. The low-end ones include half-body armor sewn with iron sheets, while the high-end ones include soft armor woven from jute that is said to have been modified by the city lord. It is not only invulnerable to swords and guns, but also can keep you warm and keep out the cold!

In the store that sells mutant beast news, residents can spend money to directly purchase the activity area of ​​each mutant beast, saving the time of searching. And in the store that sells magical plants, they naturally sell various plants transformed by Li Mu, including the red flame fruit that keeps warm, the clover that can take people flying, and the military ration grass that quickly fills the stomach, etc.

To encourage residents to buy, all stores are now offering a 50% discount for a week.

In the conference room on the top floor of the City Lord's Mansion, Li Mu and the other two gathered together again.

"Chengcheng, I just went around the city and observed the residents' reactions. The topic they are discussing has changed from what to eat today to hunting mutant beasts."

"You did very well!"

Li Mu looked at Yao Chengcheng and couldn't help but admire him.

"This is not my own achievement. It was all the advice from my subordinates. Otherwise, I wouldn't know so much."

Yao Chengcheng shook his head modestly. He knew that he had not contributed much to this matter, so he did not want to take all the credit on himself.

After a pause, he said with emotion, "Although we have discounted all the goods to improve their combat effectiveness and ability to survive, casualties are probably inevitable."

"The number of people in the city wasn't that large to begin with, and now we have to reduce it again."

Li Mu waved his hand. "This is to be expected. We have done everything we can. There is no need to think too much about it."

"Besides, you can now encourage childbirth, as newborns are the future of mankind."

"Before, people were reluctant to have more children because of unstable life. But now the situation is different. We have provided them with a stable rear. It is time to raise the issue of fertility."

"After all, the population cannot be maintained solely by taking in survivors from the outside world."

Yao Chengcheng nodded and kept this matter in mind.

At this time, Yu Shuaikang, who had been silent, spoke up.

"Don't worry about casualties. Starting tomorrow, I will lead the hunting team to clear out the high-level mutant beasts nearby, leaving only the low-level mutant beasts."

"In this way, even if people who go out to hunt mutant beasts are defeated by the mutant beasts they encounter, their chances of escaping will be greatly increased."

Li Mu was very satisfied when he heard this. Ever since the power was divided among the three of them, and with the help of the subordinates he recruited, all affairs in Wanling City were now handled in an orderly manner, showing a vigorous development.

At this moment, Yao Chengcheng suddenly looked at Li Mu and said, "By the way, there is one more thing."

"There aren't many guns and bullets in the city, and we don't have the ability to produce them, so there's no way to replenish them. So can you transform some plants that can attack?"

Li Mu touched his chin when he heard this, recalling that he did not seem to have modified many plants that could be used as weapons, but had always devoted all his energy to modifying plants that would be beneficial to people's livelihood.

Now, after Cheng Cheng's reminder, he remembered that there were not many guns in Wanling City, and most people still used cold weapons such as machetes and spears.

"No problem, I will focus on this aspect in the next two days. Wait for my good news!"

With the improvement of his abilities, creating such a plant became a piece of cake for Li Mu. The reason he didn’t do it before was simply because he hadn’t thought of it and didn’t have the energy.

Now that it has become a necessity, it won’t take him long to create it.

I hope everyone will actively give suggestions on what kind of attacking plants can be created. Thank you
