While the survivors on each floor were desperately catching snakes and rats, Li Ming was naturally not idle. After all, compared to the raw power of human bodies, Li Ming's snake-catching and rat-catching teams, with the blessing of technology, were significantly more efficient when operating outside.

Li Ming's snake-catching and rat-catching teams all wore protective suits, using various high-tech devices to capture snakes and rats in large quantities.

Once the rat-catching device was turned on, countless rats within its working range would be attracted. As the rats were drawn in, snakes that specialized in catching rats would naturally follow.

Then, these snakes and rats would be scooped up together in the flood by Li Ming's rat-catching and snake-catching team using special nets.

Subsequently, the snake-catching and rat-catching team on the assault boat would begin to process these snakes with specialized equipment, grabbing the snakes and cutting off their heads with a single strike, then kicking the snake heads into the water.

Li Ming's teams all had specialized protective suits and equipment, so even venomous snakes couldn't harm them.

Many survivors were furious when they saw this scene.

Some of the bolder ones rowed rubber rafts near Li Ming's team's assault boats, their attitude very agitated, shouting at Li Ming's team, "You've taken away the snakes and rats, how are we supposed to live?"

Li Ming's team naturally wouldn't give them the snakes and rats because, according to Li Ming's current information, quite a few people had died from illness due to eating rat meat without proper processing. These rats had to undergo a specialized process.

For the team dispatched by Li Ming, they naturally didn't want to clash with this group of lower-level survivors, so after dealing with the snakes, they simply drove the boat away and continued catching them elsewhere.

........

Faced with the snake and rat plagues, most of the survivors in the Tianhui Empire were ecstatic, as these were food and meat delivered right to their doorstep.

This rat and snake plague, which lasted for about 20 days, finally passed with the active participation of all survivors and forces.

In these successive outbreaks of insect plagues, rat plagues, and snake plagues, humanity's ability to survive was fully demonstrated. Even the most ordinary survivors showed a strong desire to survive.

Many survivors captured a large number of rats and snakes. After all, each rat weighed at least thirteen or fourteen pounds, and the smallest snake weighed three or four pounds, while larger ones were comparable to pythons, weighing dozens, and some even close to a hundred pounds.

The aroma of meat wafted throughout the country!

Of course, with the support of technological means, Li Ming also captured about 20 million rats and more than 3 million snakes during these 20 days.

This snake meat and rat meat were sent to Li Ming's preliminary processing plant for preliminary processing such as skinning, and then sent to the food processing plant to be processed into finished products, which were then amplified by Li Ming and put on the market.

After amplification, the number of cans made from these raw materials alone reached an astonishing 20 billion boxes.

On average, each rat could yield about eight or nine pounds of meat, and each snake could yield about ten pounds of meat. These cans were all packaged in one-pound sizes.

Li Ming's food processing plant basically processed these cans on a non-stop assembly line.........

As for the other forces besides Li Ming, although they also caught a lot of rats and snakes, compared with Li Ming's harvest, it was simply too different. Li Ming had the power of technology to support him.

Of course, although the raw materials for these cans were not very good, basically rat meat or snake meat, Li Ming didn't dislike them at all.

After all, there would be more and more natural disasters in the future. Not to mention luncheon meat cans or meat cans, even cockroaches and maggots, which are high in protein, might not be available for ordinary survivors. This was only the beginning of the apocalypse.

With the end of the insect plague, snake plague, and rat plague, Li Ming began to send many teams with various rat meat cans and snake meat cans to exchange with survivors.

The exchange ratio was one dead rat for two cans of pure rat meat, or three cans of one-pound luncheon meat.

A snake, depending on its size, would get the same two cans of snake meat or three cans of snake meat luncheon meat for snakes over 10 pounds.

These transactions were entirely based on voluntary principles. After all, if you didn't want to trade, Li Ming wouldn't force you. Of course, if you ate rat meat and developed problems, you would have to bear the consequences yourself.

The appearance of the snake and rat plagues, how should I put it, not only did not bring plagues and disasters to humans, but also gave humans a supplement of meat.

The hunger resistance of meat is far better than that of cold-resistant potatoes.

It can only be said that crisis is danger, and danger breeds opportunity, it just depends on whether you can seize it!

........

After the three disasters passed, although the insect plague had passed, the number of mosquitoes and insects was still not small, but compared to the most exaggerated time, it was obviously much less.

The extreme heat continued, and cities all over the country had become large steamers, and the survivors were tortured by the extreme heat, spending their days in wailing.

High temperatures of over 40 degrees, water shortages, and diseases were constantly taking human lives.

Moreover, not all survivors had a large amount of snake meat and rat meat. There was a polarization in the amount of these two types of meat, and the law of the jungle was being staged nakedly in reality.

It wasn't that Li Ming didn't want to manage this chaos, but his troops' heavy equipment couldn't move at all now. How much deterrent power could assault boats have as the only means of transportation?

It can be said that with the arrival of the extreme heat and the complete retreat of the flood, the deterioration of public security was inevitable, and Li Ming was well aware of this, but at this time he could only wait.

But it wasn't all bad news. The good news was that Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce's filtered water was finally online. In fact, the survivors were well aware that the raw materials for these filtered water must be the turbid floodwaters under their feet.

But no one cared where this water came from, and they didn't want to think about the raw materials for the water.

However, based on the good reputation of Zhongxing Chamber of Commerce, the survivors unanimously believed that this filtered water was basically no less than tap water before the disaster.

Of course, the price of this water was not cheap, 1 point ticket for 2 liters of water.

Now everyone was not worried about the price of the water, but worried about how to transport the water home.

These survivors can be said to have not taken a bath from the beginning of the extreme cold until now. Now it was extremely hot every day, they were sweating and oily, their clothes were dirty, and their bodies exuded a smell. Their external image was simply indescribable......
