I Have a City in a Different World

Chapter 374 The Source of Food

On the city wall of Nanchuan City, people came and went during these days, and thousands of people were working on strengthening and transforming the city wall.

Crazy and ferocious demons and monsters, although they are all made of flesh and blood, possess extremely terrifying destructive power.

Their sharp claws can easily leave deep scratches on the city wall.

After many wars, the walls of Nanchuan City have become dilapidated and must be repaired and reinforced in time, otherwise they may be destroyed and collapse.

In the past, when repairing the city wall, ordinary building materials were used, but the effect was unsatisfactory.

It's a waste of a lot of manpower and material resources, but it won't last long and will be destroyed after a war.

Regarding the city wall structure of Nanchuan City, Loucheng residents provided a formula that could be used to prepare and bake special building materials.

Using this building material, along with wood and other items, can make the repaired wall as solid as a rock.

Even if artillery bombardment is used, it cannot cause much damage.

In the past few days, residents of Nanchuan City have been making this material to reinforce key parts of the city wall.

Others used this building material to create a large number of obstacles and horse traps and placed them in open areas outside the city.

Monsters that attack on a large scale will inevitably be blocked and delayed, making it easier for the defenders on the city wall to shoot and kill them.

In the open areas of the city wall, there are also some large weapons and equipment, which look very similar to double-barreled anti-aircraft machine guns.

This weapon is operated by five people. There are magazine supply compartments on both sides, and there are metal and leather pipes on the base.

Large and small pipes lead to the bottom of the city wall, and the main pipe is connected to a steam boiler, which can provide power for the weapons and equipment on the city wall.

The residents of Loucheng who are responsible for the design and manufacture use steam to launch special projectiles, which can effectively kill high-level monsters.

If necessary, you can even spray hot water directly to boil the monsters attacking the city.

All kinds of fantastic ideas amazed the aboriginal people, and they became more confident in defending Nanchuan City.

The construction and renovation of the city will cause huge consumption of materials, and the inventory accumulated by the alliance is almost used up.

If they were willing to invest resources, the defending alliance should be able to obtain better results, but because they saw no hope, they chose a more conservative strategy.

They would rather shrink back and sacrifice more lives than dare to easily touch the supplies in stock.

I don't dare to use it freely like Tang Zhen. It is simply cutting off my own retreat.

In the event of an accident, Nanchuan City would not be able to hold on for long due to lack of supplies.

This is a problem that must be faced, and Tang Zhen also needs to find a solution.

The easiest way is to go out of the city to collect, which is what Nanchuan City has been doing in the past, but everything can only rely on luck, and there will be less and less materials to collect.

Today, there is only bare land left around Nanchuan City, and even the edible weeds have been dug up.

If you want to collect supplies, you can only go further.

Under Tang Zhen's order, a large number of teams set off every day to search for various supplies.

But even so, food stocks are getting less and less.

Only in peaceful and prosperous times can there be a stable environment for farming and breeding, and gradually accumulate enough food in stock for squandering.

In times of disaster or war, there will inevitably be a food crisis.

The disaster that occurred on the Desolate Star spread throughout the world, and there were very few places that were not affected.

The crisis caused by lack of food, second only to the threat of demons and monsters, is a headache for every aboriginal gathering place.

Tang Zhen's initial idea was to use monsters as food.

When you are about to starve to death, you have no right to be picky about the source of food. No matter if it is a monster or something else, as long as it can fill your stomach.

With enough buffer time, other methods can be explored until the food crisis is resolved.

It is definitely not appropriate to eat the monster directly, and it must be processed.

In a courtyard on the edge of Nanchuan City, monsters roared from time to time, making the people passing by look nervous.

Although they knew that the monster inside could not break out, they still couldn't help but feel fear.

At the same time, some people are curious, what is the purpose of catching these monsters, why not just kill them?

In the tightly closed courtyard, Tang Zhen was discussing with Loucheng residents on how to solve the food problem.

On the table in front of them were various edible plants and flesh and blood organs obtained from monsters.

In some containers, there is even some soil, which is also one of the alternative food additives.

It is not an exaggeration to be so hungry that they eat dirt. In order to fill their stomachs, many hungry aborigines did similar things.

After eating dirt, I suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, my stomach became round and I couldn't digest it, and the whole process was extremely painful.

Using soil as an additive is enough to prove that food is indeed difficult to obtain.

"No matter whether you soak it in medicinal liquid, steam it, grind it into powder, or make it into a jelly paste, you can't cover up the strong odor of the monster's flesh and blood.

This stinky smell is very strong, which will seriously affect the taste, and it also has an excellent vomiting effect.

It is no exaggeration to say that even wild dogs would not eat food made from monster flesh and blood. "

The residents of Loucheng said this with a helpless expression on their faces.

Although some monsters have flesh and blood available for use, the quantity is pitifully small.

It can be eaten by a small number of people, but cannot meet the needs of hundreds of thousands of people.

Listening to the complaints of Loucheng residents, Tang Zhen picked up a piece of monster meat and observed it silently.

This piece of cooked monster flesh exudes a pungent fishy smell that can be smelled from a long distance away.

The foul-smelling monster flesh cannot be used as food, and will become a terrible source of pollution after decay.

This situation occurred obviously because the enemy did it deliberately and did not want to give the indigenous people any opportunity to take advantage of it.

Tang Zhen believed the residents of Loucheng. They said they were powerless, which proved that the monster's flesh and blood were not suitable for food.

It is indeed a pity to lose the largest source of food.

At this time, Tang Zhen noticed that a fly landed on the plate and kept licking the monster's flesh.

"Will maggots appear on dead monsters?"

Hearing Tang Zhen's question, Loucheng residents were slightly startled, but quickly nodded.

"This happens, but it is not common, because many monsters have toxins in their bodies, and the breeding flies will be directly poisoned to death."

Tang Zhen nodded and asked again: "If maggots are resistant to poison and have a larger size, can these monster corpses be used as maggot food?"

The residents of Loucheng's eyes lit up and they understood Tang Zhen's thoughts. After thinking about it, they nodded.

"There should be no problem, but a special place needs to be built to block the spread of the smell and toxins from the monster's corpse."

“In that case, let’s build a maggot farm and use the corpses of these monsters as feed.

At that time, the maggots will be taken out, cleaned and used as food, thus solving the food problem. "

The residents of Loucheng nodded, this is indeed a good solution.

Under normal circumstances, the cultured maggots would definitely not be able to meet the demand, but the mutant maggots were different.

Since Tang Zhen arranged it this way, he would definitely provide the mutated maggots.

For Tang Zhen, this is really not a problem. He only needs to use the rules to modify the artifact and transform flies and maggots.

Although it will consume the original power, the amount is not large and is completely within the tolerance range.

With only a small investment, the biggest problem he faced could be solved, so Tang Zhen would naturally do it without hesitation.

When he left the laboratory and prepared to go elsewhere, he suddenly heard a piercing siren coming from the city.

Whenever this sound sounds, it means that a monster is attacking, and Nanchuan City will immediately enter a state of war.

Log in to the Soul Exchange Platform and check the video sent by Loucheng residents. It turns out that tens of thousands of monsters are moving rapidly towards Nanchuan City.

Observing the movement trajectory, it can be determined that it comes from a nearby city and is obviously aimed at Nanchuan City.

After reading the information, Tang Zhen didn't panic at all, but showed a faint smile.

The problem of lack of food should be completely solved soon.
