Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 39 Miscellaneous Talk
"Speaking of which, how's the demographic information going?"

Li Mu looked at Yao Chengcheng.

"The statistics are basically complete, so I'm just going to talk to you about it today."

“Now there are no computers, so information has to be recorded manually with pen and paper.

There aren’t many residents in Wanling City right now, so it’s relatively easy to find them. But when there are more people, it will probably take a lot of effort to find a specific person.”

Yao Chengcheng took out a thick notebook and placed it in front of Li Mu.

Open the notebook, and you will see various brief information of the residents, including basic information such as name, age, and gender.

The key point is what this person used to do and what he can do now.

The original family situation and original address, as well as the current situation, are also recorded.

Just like a household registration book, it records several people living together. As for whether this family was newly formed after the apocalypse, Yao Chengcheng doesn't care.

The last page of the notebook counts the total population as 317, including 197 males and 120 females.

Those between fifteen and fifty are considered young adults, those under fifteen are considered children, and those over fifty are considered old people.

Young and middle-aged people account for about 70 percent of the total population.

The remaining 30% are the elderly and young people, with the elderly being the majority.

"It seems that there are not many talents that can be used right now!"

After flipping through the notebook, Li Mu found that many people were just ordinary workers, and most of their skills were related to computers. There were basically no people who could really play a role in the current environment.

"If we were ordinary people, wouldn't we be the same as them?"

"Let's train them slowly. The first group of people who join Wanling City will definitely have a stronger sense of belonging than those who come later."

Yao Chengcheng is quite open-minded.

"How's the hunting of mutant beasts going lately?"

"Have any new Origin Warriors appeared?"

Li Mu turned to Yu Shuaikang and asked.

"We hunted seven third-level mutant beasts, and there are probably hundreds of first- and second-level ones."

"After distributing the meat of the third-order mutant beasts to the members of the hunting team, in addition to Fu Zikui and Zhang Tiankuo, two others have already become source warriors. The rest should be soon."

"After all, as long as enough source energy can be provided, theoretically everyone can become a source warrior."

After this period of hunting and constant fighting with mutant beasts, Yu Shuaikang has reached the threshold of a fourth-level source warrior.

Yao Chengcheng, who entered the third level at the same time as him, is still only in the middle stage of the third level. It seems that cultivation requires not only abundant resources but also a proper amount of fighting.

"Is there anyone in your hunting team who can become an awakener?"

"Now there is only Lao Li, an awakened person, holding up the city of Wanling. The key is that he is so busy that he has no time to go out and hunt mutant beasts."

Yao Chengcheng always felt regretful for not being able to become an awakened person.

The difference between a source warrior and an awakener is like that between a warrior and a magician. Only by mastering the five elements of heaven and earth can one become a top combat force. Otherwise, the magician will always be called a "magician"!

"We haven't discovered this yet. As you know, there is no way to observe the awakening of an awakener at this stage. This depends on talent. Many people awaken suddenly."

Yu Shuaikang shook his head slightly. He also wanted to become an awakened person.

"We can't rush this kind of thing. What's the situation in the wild now? Have there been any changes in the strength and number of mutant beasts?" With Li Mu's current strength as a fifth-level awakener, although he dare not say that he is the top combat force in the country, he is still very confident in protecting Wanling City.

Now he is more concerned about the changes in the mutant beasts' strength.

"The situation is not optimistic. Although no mutant beasts above level 4 have been found, the number of level 3 mutant beasts has increased a lot compared to two months ago. Those below level 3 are even more rampant!"

"If this continues, I suspect there will be a beast tide!"

As the person who has stayed in the wild the longest, Yu Shuaikang's expression became noticeably serious when talking about the situation of mutant beasts.

"Tide of Beasts!"

"Has the situation in the wild become so serious?"

Li Mu frowned. He was not worried about the defense of Wanling City, but with the beast tide besieging the city, how could he search for more survivors, form his own research team, and expand the strength of Wanling City.

Yao Chengcheng sat aside without saying anything, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"We can't let the situation continue like this. Starting tomorrow, you and I will go out together to clean up the mutant beasts nearby, and speed up the collection of survivors."

Li Mu thought about it for a while and finally decided to go out with the hunting team to hunt mutant beasts. With his strength as a fifth-level awakener, there should be no mutant beasts nearby that can threaten him.

"oi!"

"You should have said so earlier. With you, killing mutant beasts would be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables. And you can also help me and Chengcheng get some crystal cores of fourth-level mutant beasts."

When Yu Shuaikang heard that Li Mu was going to take action, he immediately smiled. He trusted Li Mu's strength too much.

"Old Li, you were right to take action. There is no possibility of peaceful coexistence between humans and mutant beasts. As the number of mutant beasts increases, they will inevitably compete with humans for survival. Eliminating some of them early can also curb their development and delay the beast tide."

"I can't help you much in this regard, but I will try my best to give you a stable base camp."

Yao Chengcheng said with a wry smile.

"What are you talking about? We each have our own duties. You just need to take care of the affairs in Wanling City. We will handle the rest."

"And I will find you a few more administrative talents as soon as possible to serve as your subordinates. Wanling City will get better and better!"

Li Mu waved his hands and looked at Cheng Cheng, who seemed to be feeling somewhat remorseful. He felt quite emotional. It had only been a few months since the three of them fled from their shared apartment and established Wanling City.

But too many things have happened in the past few months. I am just an ordinary person. I used to just go to work and take it easy.

Suddenly becoming a city lord managing hundreds of people, how could an ordinary person learn so quickly?

"Don't blame yourself, you've done a good job."

Li Mu stepped forward and patted Cheng Cheng on the shoulder, not wanting to put too much pressure on him.

Many people have been ordinary people for decades, but they always feel that if they can become a manager one day, they will be able to handle many affairs perfectly.

In Li Mu's opinion, this is just talk, although position determines the brain.

But this also requires time to hone!
What's more, from a country to a company, there must be managers at all levels.

A person's energy is limited, and it is impossible to handle everything by oneself.

"Yeah, you see, I just don't want to deal with these troubles between people, so I want to hunt mutant beasts."

"If our positions were reversed, I would definitely not do as well as you!"

Ah Sao also stepped forward and hugged Cheng Cheng, and said sincerely.
