I Have A City In An Alternate World

2579 The mutated aquatic plants (1)
With the order, the residents of the Heaven’s Wall city once again moved out in groups, carrying wicker bags and wicker baskets to the city Lord’s mansion.

The residents would pick all the fruits, some for consumption, and some for storage.

In addition to the city Lord’s mansion, there were also a large number of fruits on the cliff. Even the leaves that were more than ten centimeters tall were covered with mini red fruits.

It could be said that all the plants in the Heaven’s Wall city bore fruit. The only difference was the size of the fruit.

The residents who participated in the harvesting were all excited. They had already experienced the harm of a food shortage, especially in families with many children.

In order to last longer, the Heaven’s Wall city had already started to limit the food supply. The food distributed every day was only enough to save their lives.

But now, it was different. With the fruits all over the mountain, he no longer had to worry about his children waking up in the middle of the night hungry.

While the residents were picking the fruits, large woks were set up and filled with washed fruits.

As the sweet smell spread, the residents secretly swallowed their saliva and their stomachs made “GRU GRU” sounds from time to time.

come, come, come. Everyone, take one. Eat slowly, it’s very hot!

The resident in charge of cooking was sweating profusely, but he couldn’t suppress the joy on his face. He felt full of energy.

Someone took the fruits out of the pot and piled them on the table next to them. Then, they started to cook them in the next pot.

When the residents who were working heard this, they couldn’t wait to come over. They didn’t care if the fruit was hot or not, they grabbed it and stuffed it into their mouths.

Feeling the sweet smell, the residents ‘faces bloomed with joy. Even if it was scalding hot, they were determined not to spit it out.

He had been worried that these high-yield fruits would not taste good, but as the fruit entered his mouth, those worries disappeared.

The fruit could indeed be used as food, and the taste was quite good. It was far more delicious than the coarse grain distributed every day to resist hunger.

The most worrying thing in their hearts had been solved, and the residents of the Heaven’s Wall city were full of energy. They didn’t need to be supervised when they worked.

While the fruits were being picked, other work was also carried out, such as cutting the fruits into slices and drying them in the sun, or sending them into the cave to be sealed.

After that, they would send people to guard the warehouse to prevent it from rotting and to replace the stock in time.

These tasks were completed by professionals and didn’t need the intervention of cultivators in Lou Cheng. He believed that no one would dare to play tricks in this kind of thing.

The Heaven’s Wall city once again became lively. Whether it was on the mountain peaks or on the surrounding cliffs, busy figures could be seen everywhere.

Baskets of fragrant fruits were continuously transported into the city. Along the way, residents stood by the roadside and watched with happy smiles on their faces.

In addition to the fruits produced by the special vines, it was also time to pick the aquatic plants in the heavenly Pearl Lake.

It was just that these aquatic plants had mutated and began to actively hunt for prey, making the lake that protected the Heaven’s Wall city very dangerous.

Under such circumstances, if one wanted to pick the fruits in the lake, they would have to bear a certain risk.
The residents of the Heaven’s Wall city saw this and were anxious. They couldn’t bear to waste precious food like this.

In fact, when the fruits of the vines were ripe, the fruits of the aquatic plants had also been ripe and covered the lake.

The fruit looked like corn, full and strong. It was obviously a high-quality food.

The better the appearance of the food, the more reluctant the people of the Heaven’s Wall city were to part with it.

Some of the residents tried to use tools to pick the fruits. They got long wooden sticks with Sickles and bags tied to one end and carefully explored the lake.

After the sickle touched the stem of the fruit, it pulled back with great force. The fruit’s strength was cut off, and it fell into his pocket.

By right, he should have been able to complete the harvesting of the fruit by retracting the wooden pole, but this was not the case.

When the fruit was touched, tentacles would extend out of the lake, wrapping around the wooden stick and pulling it down.

The resident of the experiment was caught off guard and was almost pulled into the lake. Fortunately, his companion was quick to catch him.

Looking at the wooden stick that had been crushed by the tentacles, everyone was extremely shocked. If it had fallen into the lake, it would probably have been crushed into pieces.

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of shock and regret. How to pick the fruit in the lake had become a problem that had to be solved.

Ordinary people had no way to deal with it and could only leave it to Lou Cheng’s cultivators. In the end, they went around in circles and found Tang Zhen.

As the creator of these superior plants, Tang Zhen understood the characteristics of the plants far better than others. It might be a little easier if he was the one to solve it.

After Tang Zhen received the news, he immediately went to check it out. However, he discovered that the aquatic plants had completely lost control.

Due to the influence of the demonic Qi, they had become a special kind of half-monster, a double-edged sword that could hurt both the enemy and themselves.

Fortunately, the most dangerous situation had not appeared so far. Tang Zhen also had enough opportunities to change the situation.

However, Tang Zhen was not prepared to do this. Rather than wasting time and energy, it was better to allow the plants in the water to evolve freely.

If it really turned into a monster, he would kill it and get a lot of points.

Of course, before that, he had to solve the problem of food harvesting. If he only relied on those vine fruits, he could not completely solve the food crisis of the Heaven’s Wall city.

After arriving at the lakeside, Tang Zhen carefully observed for a while and discovered that the plants in the water were in a state of madness. As long as he approached the lake, he would be attacked by them.

Under such circumstances, it was definitely impossible to carry out the normal harvest, and a slight carelessness would cost him his life.

Tang Zhen stared at the lake and was silent for a moment. He suddenly waved his hand and a chain shot out.

After the chain drilled into the lake, it directly wrapped around an aquatic plant and tied its roots tightly.

The aquatic plant was stimulated and the tentacles under the leaves immediately wrapped around the chain. Soon after, Tang Zhen felt a huge force coming from the chain, trying to pull him into the lake.

The other aquatic plants also began to tremble violently. They twisted their bodies and approached the plant that was bound by the chain.

It turned out that in this short period of time, the aquatic plants had evolved rapidly and gained the ability to move in the water.

If they continued to develop at this speed, it might not take long for them to be able to move on land.

After observing for a while, Tang Zhen pulled the chain with all his might. A “crash” sound was heard as a huge aquatic plant was pulled onto the bridge.

The plant looked like a mutated Red Octopus, with poisonous fangs all over its body.

Perhaps it was because it had left the water, but the plant struggled very hard. Its huge leaves and tentacles trembled non-stop, as if it had been electrocuted.

Tang Zhen took a long knife from the soldier’s hand and slowly walked to the side of the aquatic plant. He raised his hand and slashed.

A tentacle was cut off and it trembled a few times on the ground before it was grabbed by Tang Zhen.

Tang Zhen’s face revealed a trace of surprise when he saw the traces of the broken part. Soon after, he actually did something that was unexpected.

He actually stuffed the tentacle into his mouth, took a big bite, and then slowly chewed.

The onlookers were dumbfounded, but no one dared to ask.

They quietly looked at Tang Zhen with different expressions on their faces. Their feelings were unusually complicated.

They invited Tang Zhen here in the hope that he could help solve the problem of picking the fruit. However, they did not expect Tang Zhen to treat aquatic plants as food. It was simply unexpected!
