Ice Age: I can control plant growth

Chapter 83 New attempt
In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon. After lunch, Li Mu and the other two went to the top floor and started a new meeting.

“How did the first group of people react?”

Li Mu asked while lying on the chair and looking at Yu Shuaikang.

"At first, most people were still feeling uneasy about coming to a new environment, but things got much better after they had a full meal."

Yu Shuaikang basically watched this group of people the whole time, so he was very clear about the situation.

"As the saying goes, if you have food in your stomach, you won't be worried!
After a few more days and a few more full meals, they will slowly integrate into Wanling City."

Yao Chengcheng smiled slightly, thinking that such a result was natural. In the current environment, for ordinary people, being able to have enough food and drink is the greatest happiness.

"A Sao, you have been following them in the dungeon. Have you discovered any flaws in the dungeon?"

Li Mu continued to ask.

"There are indeed many details in the dungeon that have not been perfected, such as dehumidification and fire prevention, and how to deal with feces in public toilets, etc."

"But I think you don't need to do it yourself. The dungeon will be their future home, and they will work hard to build it well themselves."

"But the construction process will definitely require a lot of materials, so we have to find a way to do that."

Yu Shuaikang briefly explained the difficulties, then looked at Li Mu and continued,
"I think what we need most right now is to quickly establish a mature management system. Otherwise, with just a few of us, we will be too busy to finish all the work."

Yao Chengcheng pondered for a moment, tapped his fingers evenly on the table, and replied,

"You are right. I will take care of this. Human energy is limited. It is a waste for a high-level fighter like you to spend time on these trivial matters."

"There are still 20 days before the second wave of disasters. The hunting team should take this opportunity to go outside to collect other survivors and some resources, and hunt some mutant beasts to replenish meat for the city."

"Time is running out. In addition to the temperature dropping to -120 degrees Celsius, we don't know if there will be other troubles in the second wave of disasters, so we must prepare for the worst so that we can respond in time if the situation gets bad."

After saying this, Yao Chengcheng also looked at Li Mu, obviously waiting for his opinion.

Li Mu had been lying on a chair beside him, listening quietly to their conversation. When he saw the two men coming, he sat up straight.

"As for the improvement of the underground city, just do as Ah Sao said and let the new residents do it themselves."

"There is also the issue of the management team. Chengcheng, you should take care of it immediately, and leave the rest of the chores to others. I remember there was a director of the Hope Shelter named Ren Hong.

He has been here for so long, and his character has been assessed clearly, so he will be given certain management rights. Since he was able to manage a shelter of dozens of people before, he should have no problem managing more people now.

For people like Ren Hong who have management experience, we give them a chance to try after inspection, and if they don’t work out, we remove them.”

“I will build two more tree houses next to the City Lord’s Mansion in a while. One will be used as the office of Wanling City to handle official business for management at all levels, and it will be led by Cheng Cheng.

The other one will be used as the hunting team's base, specifically to manage awakened or source warriors, led by Asao."

Li Mu paused for a moment and asked helplessly, "There are still no new awakeners in Wanling City right now, right?"

Yao Chengcheng and Yu Shuaikang looked at each other, shrugged their shoulders and nodded slightly to show their affirmation.

Li Mu could only sigh. It was too tiring to have only one awakener like him. If there was an earth-type awakener, the infrastructure of Wanling City would be much easier.

"Also, I remember there is a bounty hunter guild in West Lake Shelter. Ah Sao, you can also try to set one up. After all, not everyone likes to join a hunting team. Some people just like freedom and like to act alone."

"In short, Chengcheng, you are responsible for the management of ordinary people in Wanling City, and the rest of the capable people will be managed by Asao."

The two nodded slightly after hearing this and began to ponder.

"As for Cheng Cheng's suggestion to have the hunting team go outside to collect survivors and hunt mutant beasts, there is no need for that. I have a better idea. The hunting team has two tasks. The first is to take advantage of this period of time to go outside to collect more clothes, quilts, various seasonings and other daily necessities.

The second is to collect more steel. Have you two forgotten that I want to create a special metal to make the currency unique to Wanling City?

There are too many people now, and we can't keep supporting everyone for free!"

Yu Shuaikang couldn't help but ask when he heard this.
“Are there any requirements for the type of metal?”

Li Mu thought about it and realized that the currency he wanted to make must be an alloy, so he would need many types of metals, but iron would still be the main one, so he replied:

"Collect more iron, then copper, and finally gold, silver, and other metals. Try to collect as much as possible so that I can do experiments."

Yu Shuaikang made an OK gesture when he heard this. Apart from gold and silver, he might not be able to collect much, but other metals would not be difficult to collect.

"The last thing is to pick up and drop off the remaining people to be relocated. The three of us only need to go once, and the rest will be handled by others."

"But are there other people who have the ability to control tree people?"

Yao Chengcheng was a little confused about this.

“I don’t know yet, but let’s give it a try. If it doesn’t work, we’ll find another way.

Ah Sao, go find Fu Zikui and Zhang Tiankuo now and tell them to go to the city gate. Cheng Cheng and I will go ahead and wait for you there."

"OK."

Then the three of them left the conference hall together and went in two directions.

Wanling City itself is not very big. The distance from the City Lord's Mansion to the city gate is only about two hundred meters, so Li Mu and his companions arrived at the city gate in just a few minutes.

"Old man, wake up."

Li Mu placed his hands on the trunk of the giant war tree, injected a source of energy, and called softly with his mental power.

"I am here…"

Following Li Mu's call, the giant war tree responded and slowly transformed into a tall tree man again.

"Old buddy, there will be two people who will merge with you like I did this morning. If something goes wrong, give me feedback immediately."

As Li Mu's thoughts were conveyed, the tree man gently nodded his head, which was the size of a small house.

Two minutes later, Yu Shuaikang hurried over with Fu Zikui and Zhang Tiankuo and walked to Li Mu's side.

"You two should have seen me and the tree man merge into one this morning. I called you two here because I want you to try it too."

Li Mu didn't waste any words and directly stated the purpose of calling the two people.

"I'll follow your instructions!"

When the two heard that what they were going to do on this trip was to merge with the tree people, they couldn't help but show excitement on their faces.

ps: It's not water, but the arrangement of specific matters like this must be written, otherwise no one will know what happened. Like collecting metals and other similar things, I can't just not write them down, so I'll just put them out there, please understand.
