Back at the territory, the sun was still high.
We haven't been out for long, so we still have time to have a hot lunch.
at this time.
Tang Yu looked embarrassed.
He was wearing a combat uniform made of the fur of a high-grade demonized beast, with a deep scratch on his waist. This was the mark left by a claw on it when he was accidentally approached by a demonized beast.
The scratch was so deep that it almost penetrated the combat uniform, and even No. 2 almost couldn't save him in time.
There were too many demonized beasts at that time, and No. 1 was only involved in some of them, while the rest were still rushing towards him.
That scene was full of ferocious demonized beasts, and Tang Yu felt that it was no less than a demonic wave.
He hurriedly put the raw crystal ore into his backpack, and when he finally retreated, the basic warrior puppet that served as the miner had long been dismantled into parts.
"too dangerous… "
Tang Yu frowned. The number of demonized beasts was indeed unexpected. He guessed that the reason might be the giant tree with transparent branches and leaves.
When they finally left, the demonized beasts did not bite them tightly, but returned to the foot of the giant tree.
"It's just... this crystal mine has to be put aside for the time being. I'm afraid there are more demonized beasts under the giant tree. If they all rush up, I'm afraid even No. 1 and No. 2 won't be able to support them."
He was also satisfied.
Looking at the three space backpacks in his hands, Tang Yu's eyes were intense.
These raw crystal ore stones contained more or less source crystals. He did not need to take out the source crystals from the raw stones and went directly to a storage room in the castle.
Crash.
All the rough stones were dumped out, filling the small storage room to the brim.
The value of the source crystal detected in the panel is constantly rising.
596.
2635.
6963.
11596.
"18351.9!!"
Tang Yu took a deep breath, and now he's done it!
How many source crystals has Wang Tai accumulated in a month? It’s only over five thousand, which is really too poor! Perhaps this is the reason why the sanctuary was destroyed under his rule, and even the demonized beasts can no longer stand it!
Even if Wang Tai had the source crystal, it would be useless. He had no means of using the source crystal!
Everyone knows how precious Source Crystal is, and officials have long made public the news that there may be Source Crystal in the body of a demonized beast. However, ordinary people can only use it as a diamond ring if they get it.
Tang Yu estimated that small and medium-sized shelters cannot utilize source crystals. Perhaps only large-scale shelters can develop some methods of using source crystals through research, which may be relatively crude. Official collection of source crystals will cost more. in research.
He is different, he can use krypton crystals to summon followers, he can use krypton gold to refresh the market, he can use krypton gold to build buildings...
Not only had he harvested a large amount of source crystals, but his body was now filled with a large amount of soul power, which seemed to be almost overloaded.
In the later stages of mining, Tang Yu's body even felt repelled by the soul power. This was probably because he was so full that he could no longer swallow it.
For the first time, he discovered that there was a limit to the absorption of soul power. After this wave of soul power was refined, Tang Yu believed that it could at least be improved to another level.
… …
While Tang Yu was sleepwalking during the day, the castle's sensor system rang.
This thing is equivalent to a doorbell, but it is much more advanced. It has the ability to identify identities and transmit information, and does not require any operation. It is very convenient, so much so that he still doesn't know where the identification system is located.
Soon, Tang Yu saw Chen Haiping with a sad face.
"Director, if this population growth continues, we may not have enough food."
Although Chen Haiping was assigned to a position in the patrol team, he was still working as a clerk during these days. It was true that there were no corresponding talents in the territory, so he had to make do with it.
There were not many people in the territory. Although Chen Haiping was very busy, he still organized the statistics of survivors properly.
This morning, he compared the remaining food with his daily consumption and growth rate, and he couldn't sit still!
As long as the population continues to grow, the shelter's surplus food may not be able to sustain it for long!
"There isn't much food? How long can it last?" Tang Yu asked.
Chen Haiping replied with a wry smile, "Based on the current population, it can last for half a month. But every day, the number of people in our shelter is growing. Calculating from this, I'm afraid it can last for up to ten days."
"Furthermore, we have already searched for all the supplies that can be found in the resort. As for the outside world, the only team that explores every day is Captain Luo. The amount of food brought back each time is not large, and it is far from enough to meet the needs of every day. consumption.”
Chen Haiping didn't say anything. The meals that Director Tang prepared for the survivors were so rich. Not only were they full, but they also had meat and vegetables. Even though they were far from comparable to the life before the apocalypse, compared to the life in other shelters The conditions are enough to make people enviable.
It's not that he thinks this is bad, it's just that there is a prerequisite for having enough food. Once the food is used up, Chen Haiping can't believe that the entire shelter will suddenly collapse.
"What was the source of food in the previous shelter?"
Chen Haiping thought for a while, "In the past, most of the sources of food were found from the outside world, but at that time the apocalypse had just broken out, and every time we went out, we could get good harvests. Now, many of these surrounding areas have been visited. , so that Captain Luo didn’t gain much every time he searched.”
"Captain Luo also hunted and killed many demonized beasts and brought them back. However, demonized beasts are not like wild beasts. Most of their meat is inedible. It's just which parts of the demonized beasts are edible and which ones are poisonous. It is so difficult to distinguish that even the method of hunting demonized beasts is not feasible.”
He took a breath and continued, "Originally, Wang Tai prepared sufficient food and ordered people to plant some short-growing, easy-to-survive crops in the valley. I remember sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, etc. But those The crops have been destroyed by the demonized beasts, and not only that, a lot of the food originally stored in the resort has also been destroyed by the demonized beasts, which is why we don’t have much food left.”
"We have to plant crops again at this time, but I'm afraid it's too late. Even if we significantly reduce food expenditures..."
He looked quite annoyed.
If he could realize the food problem earlier, he might be able to solve it. Now, he racked his brains but couldn't think of any solution.
After hearing this, Tang Yu was not worried.
The two major problems plaguing shelters in the last days are nothing more than safety issues and food issues.
He didn't pay attention to the food in the shelter because he wasn't worried. No matter what, it was impossible to run out of food.
The difference lies in the method used to obtain the food.
Let Luo Zhe bring a space backpack and go out to find food? It seems quite troublesome.
Buying food resource packs at the market? Too expensive! He had to break a source crystal into two flowers. How could it be used in a place like this? It was okay to enjoy it for himself, but to provide it to the survivors was overthinking.
He thought for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Who said it's too late to plant crops! It's definitely too late, and there's still a lot of money to be made!"
