In his previous life, before Wang Luo entered the mist, some factions had already begun to do this!
As time passed, people discovered that the existing food was not enough to eat.
Let alone ordinary people, it was difficult to feed even the awakened ones.
How could the awakened ones protect the base if they didn't have enough to eat?
If the base couldn't be protected, how could ordinary people live?
Therefore, in a faction, the awakened ones must be fed first before ordinary people could be considered!
Although there were mutated beasts, which could solve some of the awakened ones' needs,
how many mutated beasts were there?
Moreover, mutated beasts had much higher intelligence than zombies,
and hunting them was very dangerous!
So, many factions couldn't even feed their awakened ones, let alone ordinary people!
This also led to the phenomenon of "exchanging children for food" not being uncommon in the apocalypse.
Or, a pile of meat in a pot!
"After this black rain, we will start to go out and search for the mutated crops that survived in the apocalypse, and even some live animals, like pigs, horses, cattle, and sheep. These are all sustainable resources!" Wang Luo said to the group.
It takes at least several years for grain to be cultivated.
So, all these need to be prepared in advance!
"Neigh~"
The Horse King disagreed.
How did I, old Ma, become a sustainable resource?
"When the time comes, I'll find you some mares, and then you'll be a sustainable resource!"
Wang Luo said to the Horse King.
"Neigh~"
The Horse King didn't understand what "sustainable resource" meant,
but it understood that Wang Luo was going to find it some mares.
This made the Horse King extremely happy,
whinnying excitedly. I, old Ma, will have a harem of three thousand!
Zhao Qingxuan and Yang Shu glared at Wang Luo.
This guy is really...
"Whimper~"
A Bao, holding a bamboo shoot in its mouth, ran to Wang Luo,
wagging its tail and holding his leg.
Its round, bright eyes gazed at Wang Luo with hope.
"What, you want a female panda too?"
"Don't worry, I'll bring one back if I meet one in the future!"
Wang Luo patted A Bao's furry head.
A Bao rolled its eyes at Wang Luo and shook its head,
clutching the bamboo shoot with its paw.
"It means that if you encounter surviving bamboo shoots outside, bring them back too!"
"Right, little A Bao?"
Yang Shu asked, stroking A Bao's head.
"Whimper~"
A Bao nodded.
Why would I, a panda, want a female panda?
Do you think I'm like you?
Female pandas only affect my speed of eating bamboo shoots!
Oh,
this little panda can even give me the evil eye!
"Here, A Bao! I have a job for you!"
Wang Luo picked up A Bao and placed it on the ground, belly down.
"Look, like this, crawl forward slowly. It can exercise your body and clean the floor!"
A Bao looked up at Wang Luo with pitiful eyes.
Are you a devil?
I am a national treasure!
Why should I do such rough work as cleaning?
I won't do it,
even if I'm beaten to death!
A Bao resisted violently, shaking its head non-stop.
"You really won't do it?"
Wang Luo looked at A Bao.
The latter shook its head vigorously.
I am a dignified national treasure, an ancient divine beast, known throughout China!
How can I do this kind of work?
How can I face Emperor Chiyou in the underworld in the future?
Absolutely not.
"What a pity. I happen to know where a few mutated bamboo trees will grow in the future?"
"You don't know! Those bamboo trees grow a lot of mutated bamboo shoots every year!"
"The scent they emit, tsk tsk, it's so fragrant!"
"It will attract many mutated beasts!"
"I originally wanted you to clean up so I could find them for you after the black rain, but since you don't need them, I'll give them to the Horse King!"
Having said that, Wang Luo called out to the Horse King.
"Neigh~"
The Horse King, who was excitedly eating feed, looked up.
"Whimper~"
A Bao became anxious,
hurriedly hugging Wang Luo's legs,
its big eyes looking up at Wang Luo, filled with tears.
"You want them?"
"Meow!"
A Bao nodded quickly.
"Then about this cleaning..."
A Bao patted its chest.
"I'm not forcing you, you're doing this voluntarily!"
A Bao nodded quickly.
Food is my father.
For food, I, a great panda, will do anything!
Then, it immediately began to move on the ground like a caterpillar, cleaning the floor.
Its expression was extremely serious!
It even meticulously wiped the corners with its claws.
It also kept looking at Wang Luo,
as if asking if he was satisfied.
"Uh, I'm starting to doubt how Emperor Chiyou was defeated back then?"
"Wasn't his mount bribed by Emperor Huangdi with this method?"
Yang Shu's eyes widened.
It's true that it's willing to do anything for food!
A Bao snorted disdainfully.
Foolish humans,
haven't you heard Wang Luo say that the plants will die after the black rain?
What if I can't have my beloved bamboo shoots anymore?
I, a great panda, don't like your garbage food!
This is called "self-reliance"!
"Wang Luo, you're not tricking A Bao, are you?"
Yang Shu asked in a low voice.
Not far away,
A Bao's ears immediately perked up.
"How is that possible?"
"I, Old Wang, wouldn't stoop to tricking little animals!"
In his previous life, A Bao stayed in that place, almost never leaving.
Upon hearing this,
A Bao immediately became full of energy,
its body pressed to the ground, wriggling rapidly.
After eating,
while the group was resting,
Wang Luo gathered all the energy source crystals together.
He intended to absorb their energy.
He already had about 40 on him, plus more than 70 from the morning, making it over 100!
"I hope it can help me advance to Iron rank!"
However,
two hours later,
Wang Luo's expression was somewhat astonished.
Nearly 120 energy source crystals had not helped him advance!
"As expected of God-tier!"
He could only sigh in the end.
Fortunately, he had let Zhao Qingxuan advance first last night. If he had absorbed them himself, he definitely wouldn't have been able to reach Iron rank!
But he wasn't in a hurry.
With Zhao Qingxuan at Iron rank, the efficiency of obtaining energy source crystals would be very fast!
Moreover,
the greater the demand for energy source crystals, the stronger the power after advancement.
Wang Luo wished he could absorb more!
"I wonder if there are any other awakened individuals on Earth with God-tier abilities?"
Wang Luo stroked his chin.
He didn't know about other places,
but he knew for sure that in Longxi Province, where Anluo City was located, there were none.
After he absorbed the energy source crystals,
the group went out to the streets again to kill zombies and search for energy source crystals!
"Wang Luo, I'm flying!"
Zhao Qingxuan suddenly shouted.
Wang Luo looked over.
He saw Zhao Qingxuan suspended several meters above the ground,
with a pair of huge black light wings appearing behind her.
"She's awakened a psychic ability!"
Wang Luo exclaimed,
and it was a flight-type psychic ability at that.
Everyone else looked at Zhao Qingxuan with envy.
She could fly so quickly?
"Let's see how long you can fly!"
Wang Luo shouted to Zhao Qingxuan.
The latter nodded,
the light wings on her back trembled slightly,
and Zhao Qingxuan's figure instantly disappeared from her spot.
"So fast!"
Yang Shu exclaimed.
She could barely see anything before the other person vanished.
Let alone her,
even Zhao Qingxuan herself screamed in surprise.
It was obvious that
she hadn't adapted to this psychic ability yet,
and couldn't control its intensity.
But soon,
her speed stabilized.
After a while,
Zhao Qingxuan landed smoothly on the ground.
Although her face was slightly pale, it was evident she was very happy!
"About 10 seconds!"
Wang Luo nodded and said.
