Chapter 882 Food Problem

Qin Zhong suppressed his curiosity about the hermit family and once again turned his gaze to Wang Boshen, asking a question that concerned him deeply: "How is the progress of reclaiming the land and planting crops? Still no results?"

Upon hearing Qin Zhong mention this, Wang Boshen's face darkened and he slowly shook his head, saying, "No. Ever since the virus hit, I don't know if it's the soil or the seeds that have changed. No matter how we try to plant them, these seeds won't take root and sprout..."

At this point, Wang Bo sighed deeply. "Among the survivors, there are several food experts and genetic modification experts from before the apocalypse. They've been working so hard that their hair is almost turning white, but they still can't do anything."

"How long will the food in the base last?" Qin Zhong asked with a heavy heart.

Originally, he thought that with the food that Sun Xiaoyan had previously delivered as a transition, he only needed to wait for the food on his side to be grown, and the food problem would be solved. However, he did not expect that he could not grow any food.

Wang Boshen pondered for a moment, then said in a heavy voice, "Our current food reserves, combined with those in Song City, are only enough to feed the two gathering points for half a year. The number of people in Anyuan is still increasing, and it's estimated that it will soon exceed 200,000. The number of people in Song City will be roughly the same. At most, in half a year, the old food will be gone, and there will be no new food. How are we supposed to survive?"

"Life will find a way. Have the soldiers keep an eye out for new types of food when they're out in the field. Pay special attention to what the mutant beasts eat; perhaps you'll find something."

Hearing Wang Boshen's words, Qin Zhong frowned slightly, sighed inwardly, and said, "If I really can't find food, I will find another way. In short, I won't let the brothers who follow me go hungry."

"Well, I'll keep an eye on the food problem."

Wang Boshen felt relieved when he heard Qin Zhong say that. He nodded and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

"Go ahead, take care of yourself and don't get too tired." Qin nodded.

After giving Wang Boshen his instructions, Qin Zhong worriedly remembered that since Hu Meng was transferred here, she had been studying the genes of the Cyclops in the newly built research institute, and he had never seen her go out.

If Hu Meng hadn't had people send in experimental materials from time to time, Qin Chong would have thought something had happened to her, after all, she had done this before.

"boom!"

Just as Wang Boshen opened the door and was about to go out, a figure suddenly ran over hurriedly, knocked him aside, then broke open the half-closed door and rushed in front of Qin Zhong.

Qin Zhong's heart tightened, thinking it was an enemy attack. When he looked closely, he saw that the person rushing in was Hu Meng, whom he had just been worried about.

Hu Meng rushed in and said excitedly, "I figured it out! I figured it out! I've finally cracked the genetic code of the Cyclops!"

Hearing Hu Meng's words, Qin Zhong couldn't help but be ecstatic. Hu Meng, who had been in seclusion for many days of research, actually cracked the genetic code of the Cyclops.

This means that the Tiangang Organization has taken a big step forward in genetic research and understanding of the X-people.

……

"Okay, okay! It's you again, Hu Meng!"

Hearing Hu Meng's words, Qin Zhong excitedly hugged Hu Meng and spun her around three times before putting her down. He asked with rapid breathing, "Can we clone and replicate these genes and restore the technology of biological weapons?"

Hu Meng rolled his eyes at Qin Zhong and slowly shook his head, "You think biological weapons are made of mud? Cracking the Cyclops gene is just the beginning. If we want to fully restore the biological weapon, it may take even twenty years!"

Hu Meng paused for a moment before continuing, "Besides, do you know how much it costs to create a high-level biological weapon like the Minotaur? Even the X-Planters probably don't have much, let alone us."

"Ugh! Then why are you so proud? You made me so happy for nothing!"

Hearing this, Qin Zhong waved his hand with a dull expression and said, "If I had known this would be the result, I would have let you stay in Songcheng and continue your virus research with Chujiu. It would have been a waste of so much time."

"You are the Star Lord of Tiangang, but you don't understand this."

Hu Meng rolled her eyes at Qin Zhong again and said excitedly, "Do you know how precious the Minotaur's genes are? First of all, the Minotaur possesses such powerful strength and can control that strength without collapsing physically. This shows that their genes are in the most perfect and stable form..."

Listening to Hu Meng's slightly excited words, Qin Zhong's heart moved, and he roughly understood why Hu Meng was so excited.

Hu Meng ignored Qin Zhong's reaction and continued, "This golden ratio gene is an extremely valuable asset, whether used for human genetic modification or for fusion to create the Moyun Vine. Moreover, I can't reverse engineer the genetic structure to create a complete biological weapon for the time being, but I can use these genetic ratios and the remains of the Minotaur to create some small biological weapons..."

At this point, Hu Meng raised her pretty face and looked at Qin Zhong with a proud expression: "This small biological weapon, even if it only has one ten-thousandth of the fighting power of a minotaur, is still a force that cannot be underestimated."

"Now that you put it that way, that thing is really a treasure."

At this time, Qin Zhong was already rubbing his hands together with excitement. He was well aware of the fighting power of the Minotaur. If he could really create a small Minotaur, the fighting power of the Tiangang Organization would skyrocket.

Even if it is only used in the production of Mo Yun Teng, the produced Mo Yun Teng will definitely have extremely powerful combat power.

"Of course, I..."

"boom!"

Just as Hu Meng was about to explain in more detail, a loud noise suddenly came from the distant city gate. Then, the noise became more and more violent, as if countless giant whips were whipping something.

"what happened!"

Hearing the loud noise, Qin Zhong didn't bother to say anything to Hu Meng. He rushed out of the room in an instant, condensed a pair of long wings, and flew high into the sky. Then, he saw a scene that surprised him.

I saw a burly old man with white hair and beard, holding a dark iron stick that was five meters long and as thick as a child's arm, fighting with four Moyun vines planted at the city gate.

Faced with the powerful attack of Mo Yun Teng that could shatter gold and split iron, the old man actually used the giant stick in his hand to fight back, and he was not at a disadvantage at all.

A huge stick was like a toy in the old man's hand, constantly repelling the giant vines that were swinging towards him. The collision of force made the soldiers on the city wall exclaim in surprise.

"With his white beard and white hair, he can fight against a growing Moyun vine without losing. Could it be that this old fellow is from the Hermit Family?"

Qin Zhong flicked his wings slightly and quickly flew to the city wall. Then he waved his hand to stop the soldiers on the wall from locking onto the old man with laser guns and machine guns.

This is a rare opportunity. He wants to see what kind of power Mo Yun Teng can exert in front of a real master!
