"No, I won't give up!" There was a kind of perseverance and persistence that Li Jiayu was familiar with in Ran Hongxia's eyes. She stood up and said decisively: "I can help everyone, but maybe my strength alone is not enough. , but I will let my soldiers work hard to feed the people of Yongcheng like me! It all depends on people. As long as I work hard, I will definitely gain something. Jiayu, help me, you can't save me. I'm sorry, Lu Dingyun, but you can definitely do your part in the food issue. You are the Pope of Light, and God sent you to save the world, isn't it
Ran Hongxia has an unparalleled trust in Li Jiayu. This trust is stronger than anyone else. Even Platycodon, Yan Zisu, and Xiao Wanqing are not as good as Ran Hongxia, because Ran Hongxia has fought side by side with Li Jiayu countless times. I deeply know that Li Jiayu will bring hope to people at the last moment.
"Ran Hongxia, you have too many things to take care of... Your job is to protect Yong City and kill insects on the battlefield. Why do you have to worry about getting food? You just need to protect your mother. , it’s enough to protect your grandfather and take care of your men, why do you have to pay attention to those you don’t know?”
Li Jiayu suddenly asked such a question. In fact, he had been holding this question in his heart for a long time.
Ran Hongxia answered without hesitation: "Because they need my help, it's as simple as that."
Li Jiayu originally thought that Ran Hongxia would shout things like "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility" as before. She never expected that Ran Hongxia's answer would be like this. Sure enough, after she left Li Jiayu, During this period of time, she has grown rapidly, her mentality and character have made great progress, she has become more mature, and she is no longer as confused and easily shaken as before.
If at this time, Li Jiayu tries to trick Ran Hongxia and subvert her values and outlook on life like she did last time, "Justice or mercy, which one do you choose?", the result in exchange will probably be a smile from Ran Hongxia, and she will thunder with thunder. Means, find out all men who dare to harm women and punish them severely.
Now Ran Hongxia does have this ability, because the commando team she leads is full of experts. There are thousands of second-level and intermediate-level inheritors and above, and there are more than twenty third-level inheritors. It can be said that Among the many tiger and wolf divisions in Yongcheng, Ran Hongxia's commando team was the most powerful. Even Chu Taihong's trusted troops were much inferior.
"But don't you think it's tiring to do this?" Li Jiayu said.
"I'm not tired. I think this way I can live a fulfilling life and feel very happy. Every time I see someone smiling after receiving help... I will become more motivated."
"You are really stupid..." Li Jiayu closed his eyes, opened them after a while, and said calmly: "I will cooperate with you a little bit... When the Great Famine comes, if you have any problems that cannot be solved, you can come to him. I… "
Ran Hongxia immediately breathed a sigh of relief, smiled sweetly, and said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you, I knew you would help me... Oh, by the way, Jiayu recently found some edible insect meat on the battlefield, in the north of the city. Over there, I found swarms of red-capped beetles, as well as cave giant ants, frost snails, thunder beetles, silver silkworms and a few other bugs. I tried them, and they are indeed edible and do not contain any toxins. Normally Humans can also be eaten... Tomorrow I will lead a team to sweep out the colonies of these insects and bring back all their insect meat for the people in the city to eat!"
It's really annoying. Ran Hongxia has already cleaned up the area more than 20 kilometers north of the city. In other words, the colonies of large edible bugs are more than 30 kilometers away, or even 40 or 50 kilometers away... She It is undoubtedly a difficult task to lead a team to drag those bugs back to Yongcheng. After all, the distance is too far, so it must be very hard.
But then again, the value of those large insects is quite considerable. A red-capped beetle weighs two tons. If the bones, shells and disgusting internal organs are cut away, the edible insect meat and brains must weigh five to six hundred kilograms. Moreover, these insect meats are rich in energy. A small piece is enough for an ordinary person to consume for a whole day. Five to six hundred kilograms is definitely enough to consume the energy of two to three thousand people for a day.
As for those insects such as giant cave ants, frost snails, thunder beetles, and silver silkworms, they are also first-level high-level cannon fodder. They are not very powerful and are quite easy to hunt. Especially the silver silkworms, which are covered with blood all over their bodies. It's meat. The two tons of insect meat and insect blood are edible food. The only drawback is that it is difficult to swallow.
"By the way, the Research Institute is also doing research on removing insect botulinum toxin..." Xiao Wanqing suddenly said: "If that kind of alchemy potion is really developed, it can turn insect meat that is not very toxic into pure insect meat." Flesh-like beetles such as green beetles and petal beetles are very promising... The uncle said that he has created a third-level purification charm, which can indeed purify insect meat, but the cost of this third-level purification charm is very high. It requires third-level intermediate insect materials, and it is also very labor-intensive, so it cannot be mass-produced... "
Xie Wenyuan is already a third-level low-level Immortal Talisman Master, and in cooperation with the group of alchemists from the Scientific Research Institute, he must have developed a lot of weird things.
"... Actually, there are a lot of water bugs and giant water turtle bugs in the Yongjiang River now. You should organize manpower to hunt those water bugs in the Yongjiang River. This may be more convenient, not only can you get the insect meat, but also It can also make the Yongjiang River safer, so that no one will be eaten while fetching water from the Yongjiang River every two days." Li Jiayu said.
"Ah, yes, that's a good idea too!" Ran Hongxia's eyes lit up and she said with a smile: "I'll let Major General Yan do it when we get back. He's best at water combat, and he's not known as a water magician. What was blown out..."
From Ran Hongxia's tone, it seemed that the famous Major General Yan was also her subordinate. Sure enough, now that Ran Hongxia was in a high position and in charge of Yong City, even the Major General could issue orders casually.
"Also, it's best to organize some animal trainers to tame edible bugs, raise them like pigs, and occasionally give them a little bit of human blood, so that they will lay eggs, and those eggs will also Edible, almost like eggs..."
Li Jiayu has been involved in the apocalypse for so long, and has more or less knowledge. Some people in other provinces have indeed figured out how to breed Zerg, but the method is quite drastic. They directly feed the corpses of dead people to the bugs and let them lay eggs in large numbers. .
Li Jiayu also wanted Ran Hongxia to feed the insects with corpses and human flesh, but with Ran Hongxia's temperament, she would definitely not be able to do such a thing, so she would settle for the next best thing and use human blood. Anyway, there are so many gangsters in Yong City. The survivors who were waiting to die couldn't do anything to help them. Drawing some of their blood and paying them back with some insect eggs to sustain their lives was considered self-sufficient.
"Well, that's a good idea! I'll find someone to take care of it!"
Ran Hongxia was happy, kept it in mind, and took this issue seriously.
On the issue of food, Li Jiayu gave a lot of suggestions, which opened up Ran Hongxia's thinking. Only then did she realize that there were so many ways to obtain food around Yongcheng, although the insect meat alone was still not enough. It is far from being able to feed tens of millions of people, but it is quite useful.
Ran Hongxia felt as happy as if she had drunk honey. She stared straight at Li Jiayu with a pair of almond eyes. There was an unspeakable burning feeling in her heart. She wanted to hug Li Jiayu and thank her.
After all, the reunion with Ran Hongxia and Xiao Wanqing was only short-lived. Although Li Jiayu wanted to have a good talk with Xiao Wanqing and chat about trivial things, Xiao Wanqing was ashamed to see Li Jiayu, and she would always think of what happened that night involuntarily. There was something wrong, so he found an excuse to take care of Lu Dingyun, leaving only Ran Hongxia to accompany Li Jiayu, but Li Jiayu had nothing to say to Ran Hongxia, so he also got up and left.
Looking at Li Jiayu's leaving back, her eyes were filled with a trace of resentment and loss. Sure enough, Li Jiayu was still as before, unwilling to have too much interaction with her...
The next day, as usual, Li Jiayu led a team out of the city to hunt insects, but came back quite early in the afternoon because Chu Xiang and Lan Xiaoyue were getting married today.
In the last days, if people can take care of their own safety and have two meals to eat, it will be good. Who can celebrate happy events
But Chu Xiang and Lan Xiaoyue are different. They are inheritors and have a good status in Yongcheng. Moreover, their wedding was very low-key. They only invited some acquaintances to have a meal. Most of the students at Xijiang University were not invited. .
In fact, this wedding is not important. What is important is that Chu Xiang just wants to realize his wish and let his beloved Lan Xiaoyue wear a wedding dress. Although it is quite easy to put on a wedding dress and approach the marriage hall in peacetime, but in In this end of the world, it is an extremely rare thing, and it is a kind of glory and happiness for Lan Xiaoyue.
However, the wedding scene is a bit weird no matter how you look at it...
It’s hard for you to imagine that the guy wearing black armor, holding a magic axe, and looking like a lizard covered in dragon scales is the groom. This groom is so terrifying. He’s nearly two meters tall and looks like a giant. Lan Xiaoyue, who was next to her, was delicate and slender, only 1.6 meters tall. Standing next to Chu Xiang was very disharmonious. It was hard for anyone to believe that they were a couple.
Fortunately, Lan Xiaoyue was wearing a normal wedding dress. It was a white princess-style wedding dress left over from the previous bridal shop. It was quite beautiful and pure white. Moreover, Lan Xiaoyue was no longer as ordinary as before. She As a shapeshifter, of course you can modify your appearance to a small degree, and of course you have to beautify yourself.
But what Li Jiayu found strange was... why were Lan Xiaoyue's eyes slightly similar to her own? Even the contours of his face are 99% identical to his own, they are clearly made from the same mold! (To be continued)
