Chapter 476 The Source of Food
·
Ji Yi De Hai
"Three or four thousand?"
After hearing this number, Bian Junwu's tone was slightly surprised.
He glanced around.
The defense project is very simple, not even crude compared to the major bases.
It's freezing cold, and although there are many Snow Worshipers, they don't have that much energy to build strong fortifications.
You can only rely on the existing environment to fight zombies.
However, a group that once reached tens of thousands of people only died of three to four thousand people after a long battle with corpses. I have to say that it surprised him.
"So, how do you solve the food problem?"
"To feed thousands of people in the last days requires massive amounts of food. I'm curious how you did it?"
Bian Junwu's words made everyone in Baixue Cult a little vigilant.
Food source, this is the core issue of any power.
If Bian Junwu is not from the Jiangnan region, raising this question will definitely be regarded as finding fault.
Zheng Yixian hesitated for a moment, then replied: "We will search for buried supermarkets and shopping malls in the surrounding area, and obtain food or other survival materials from them."
"Oh, is that all?"
Bian Junwu looked at Zheng Yixian, his gaze was invisible under the toad's mirror, but everyone could feel that he didn't believe what he said.
Because in this environment, searching for food also requires a lot of energy.
How can the Snow Worship Cult dig out food from a depth of more than ten meters under the snowdrift, and then continue to supply thousands of people, and even once reached tens of thousands of people?
Zheng Yixian and a group of priests and priests had strange expressions on their faces.
Anyone could see that they were keeping some great secret about food.
The atmosphere at the scene became tense.
Baili Changqing and other members of the investigation team looked at Zheng Yixian and the others playfully, and they had a vague guess in their hearts.
And this kind of speculation is not uncommon in the last days.
Wu Di said: "Nearly half of the congregation has died, it is indeed possible to feed the rest of the people, right?"
As soon as these words came out, the Snow Worshipers exploded on the spot!
Han Chang shouted in disgust: "No nonsense! We never do that kind of thing!"
Daimei frowned and retorted: "Don't compare us with those beasts."
Wu Di shrugged, and said with a slightly teasing look in his eyes: "Then it's impossible for you to survive by drinking the northwest wind?"
"you……"
"That's enough, don't talk yet."
Just when the two sides were about to quarrel, Zheng Yixian and Bian Junwu unanimously stopped them.
Zheng Yixian took a deep breath, bowed to Bian Junwu and said:
"There are indeed some secrets in it, but this is related to the survival of our Snow Worship Cult, so it will not be mentioned to outsiders."
"Oh, really?"
Bian Junwu's voice was still cold, but it seemed to be questioning Zheng Yixian.
Can't even we know?
At this time, any ulterior secrets may be related to the tide of corpses.
Bian Junwu suspected that the tide of corpses was actually deliberately caused by local forces in Tianhai City.
Zheng Yixian raised his head and took a deep look at Bian Junwu, "If you really want to know, I can give you an answer."
Bian Junwu said, "Okay."
Zheng Yixian stood up straight, "Please follow me!"
Han Chang and Dai Mei behind him were a little anxious.
"High Priest, can this kind of thing be told to outsiders?"
Zheng Yixian waved his hand at them: "It's okay, everyone in the investigation team is from the Jiangnan region, and they don't like us."
The priests and priests under him were very anxious, unwilling to reveal the secrets of Snow Worship Cult.
Because they knew that once this secret was found out by other forces in Tianhai City, it would mean that a huge weakness of their own would be exploited by the other party.
Even these people from the Jiangnan region may covet the treasure.
That thing is the foundation of Snow Worship Cult's existence to this day!
But as the high priest, Zheng Yixian's status is second only to the leader Yuan Kongye, he has made a decision, and no one else can go against it.
Zheng Yixian led Bian Junwu and others towards the abandoned building next to St. John's Cathedral.
When he came to the building, Bian Junwu's footsteps suddenly stopped.
He frowned.
Because the building in front of him gave him a very bad feeling.
The gray reinforced concrete building is inserted straight into the snow, like a coffin for a funeral.
Bian Junwu's keen intuition reminded him that it is best not to approach this place.
Baili Changqing also leaned over and said in a low voice: "Captain, there is such a bloody smell!"
At this moment, Zheng Yixian in front of him turned his head and looked at them with a weird smile on his lips.
"Everyone, this is the secret of Snow Worship Cult. Do you want to come over and have a look?"
Wu Di crossed his arms and said with a sneer, "Pretending to be a ghost!"
Bian Junwu adjusted his glasses and followed him in silently.
There was one thing he didn't tell his players.
After losing his sight, his senses became more and more acute.
Just now, he "saw" something very weird outside the building.
In front of his eyes, this is not an abandoned commercial building.
It was a gigantic, ferocious and terrifying monster!
It is hundreds of meters high, countless hands and feet are dancing wildly, and there are intertwined root systems underground.
A group of people entered the building from the entrance, and the bloody atmosphere became more intense.
But this bloody smell is a bit abnormal, not like the breath of a dead thing, but like it just flowed out from a living person.
So fresh, so full-bodied, not pungent, even a little psychedelic sweet.
As they gradually went deeper, they finally saw the face of the monster.
The depths of the entire building are occupied by a huge strange plant.
Its vines and branches covered the entire building, and the bright red branches and leaves on the walls exuded a strange dark red luster.
On the branches, bright red fruits can be seen.
When Bian Junwu and the others saw such a scene, they understood something.
"Is this the food for your survival?"
Zheng Yixian reached out and plucked a red fruit from the branch, and handed it to Bian Junwu.
"That's right, this is a mutated plant we discovered, we call it blood vine."
"It has extremely strong vitality, it can absorb all the nutrients around it, and then transform it into its own vitality and bear fruit."
"The red fruit is an important food source for us."
Bian Junwu glanced at the red fruit that Zheng Yixian handed over, and slowly grabbed it in his hands.
He didn't eat it, but watched it carefully.
Zheng Yixian smiled and said: "Don't worry, this fruit is non-toxic. We have eaten it for more than a few months, and now we haven't found anyone who has abnormalities because of it."
Bian Junwu said indifferently: "Such words make sense. However, is the fruit it produces enough for thousands of you to eat?"
Zheng Yixian continued to walk forward.
"Normal fruit is not enough. But there are ways to speed up its fruit production. For example, this."
As he spoke, he pointed to the ceiling in front of him.
Bian Junwu and the others raised their heads, and suddenly saw an ellipsoid-shaped object hanging from the ceiling.
The red branches and leaves wrapped it tightly, faintly emitting a faint red light.
When you look closely, it turns out to be a faintly visible shape of a human body.
"This is... a human?"
Meng Siyu couldn't help but widen her eyes.
"Do you use human beings as nutrients to make them bear fruit?"
Zheng Yixian said expressionlessly: "To be precise, it is human remains."
After hearing this number, Bian Junwu's tone was slightly surprised.
He glanced around.
The defense project is very simple, not even crude compared to the major bases.
