Zerg Emperor of the End Times

Chapter 275 Terrible Grain Production
"My lords, no. I don't know why you are looking for a villain. The villain has never done anything illegal!"

The hotel owner who was brought here by Murong Jun was a little nervous. He didn't understand why Wang Jin called him, and was afraid that Wang Jin was dissatisfied with him and wanted to make trouble for him.

After the massacre last night, where tens of thousands of survivors lost their lives, the hotel owner was already deeply afraid of Wang Jin and worried about his own safety.

"Don't worry, don't be nervous, we have no other intentions, just want to ask you something."

Wang Jin showed a self-confidently kind smile, and asked the hotel owner to sit down on the chair, while Jardin next to him asked him.

"I'm curious about a question. Your Lingnan Plain is so fertile, why don't you grow food? Isn't this a waste of this good land?"

Seeing that Wang Jin and the others were not looking for trouble, the hotel owner relaxed his tense heart, and heard Jia Ding's inquiry, he dared not neglect to say: "The adults don't know, it's not that our Lingnan base doesn't want to grow food, food It’s so precious, why don’t we want to grow it, we have no choice but to grow it in the Lingnan Plain.”

"Oh, it seems that there is something else hidden."

Wang Jin, Jia Ding and Murong Jun looked at each other and realized that there was a reason why Lingnan Base did not grow food!

"Yes, the reason why we don't grow food is because of the existence of herbivorous insects."

There was a trace of bitterness on the hotel owner's face, he sighed and said to Wang Jin.

"Herbivorous insect, what is that, a mutant beast? Why have I never heard of it?"

Wang Jin was a little puzzled. It was the first time Wang Jin had heard of this herbivore, so he didn't know what kind of existence it was.

"Herbivorous insects are what we call them. This is a fingernail-sized insect that usually lives underground and feeds on the roots of plants on the ground. The scary thing is that they live in groups. When they appear, there are tens of millions. The roots of the plant will be eaten up by them, causing the plant to shrivel and die."

The hotel owner said in a bitter tone: "This kind of bug especially likes to eat the roots and stems of grain and vegetables. Every time we plant the food, it will be eaten up as soon as it sprouts, and it can't grow up to be eaten at all. Because these bugs can burrow into the ground , and there are too many, we have nothing to do with them, and over time, the Lingnan base will no longer grow food."

"Herbivore" Wang Jin was slightly moved when he heard the hotel owner's explanation.

No wonder the weeds in many places in the Lingnan base were withered, like ugly scars on the green grassland. Wang Jin was surprised at first. It turned out that this was the problem.

"There is such a bug. It's such a strange creature."

Others were also very surprised. They thought of many possibilities, but they didn't expect that the cause was actually caused by bugs.

It seems that not only humans and animals have changed in the last days, but even bugs have changed a lot.

"Yes! I grew up in the Lingnan Plain. Before the end of the world, our Lingnan Plain was a famous place for grain production. It can export hundreds of thousands of tons of grain every year. Now because of these herbivorous insects, it is impossible to even think about a single grain. Produced."

The owner of the hotel is very excited. The once large production area has become a barren land now. He grew up here full of emotion. He is very sad about this matter, but he is powerless.

Others were stunned by the figures given by the hotel owner. Hundreds of thousands of tons of grain would supply more than 100 million people, and there would still be a lot of surplus.

It is possible that only half or one-third of the food can be used.

"Are you sure you are right? The Lingnan Plain can produce so much food." He Youxi looked in disbelief.

He only knew that the Lingnan Plain was a major grain-producing area, but he did not expect that it could produce so much grain. Even Wang Jin didn't know this and looked at the hotel owner in astonishment.

"Of course, I grew up here. I can still remember this kind of thing wrongly. The Lingnan Plain has more than 300 square kilometers, and two crops of grain can be grown in a year. In addition, the land is very fertile. It is so strange to have so much grain. Yes. We can produce 50 million tons of grain every year here, and if we plant high-yield sweet potatoes and corn, this output can be increased.”

The hotel owner blew his beard and stared and said that he was very unhappy with He Youxi's questioning. He forgot He Youxi's identity for a while, and he was no different from a person who defended his hometown.

pat!

"Four-four-and-a-half million tons."

The tea cup in Jia Ding's hand fell to the table. He looked at He Youxi shivering and said in disbelief: "He Youxi, pinch me to see if I am dreaming."

"Ouch, you are so pinching!" Jia Ding jumped up in the next second, rubbing his thighs and gasping for air, looking at He Youxi with an unhappy face.

If Wang Jin hadn't been here, he would have fought back.

"Hey, didn't you tell me to pinch you? Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient."

He Youxi smirked badly, and Chen Dong and Murong Jun beside him were also amused, recovering from the shock just now.

"I have decided that the Lingnan Plain will be our grain production base in the future. We must find a way to get rid of herbivorous insects so that they cannot harm the grain we grow."

Wang Jin suddenly slapped the table and got up, panting and shouting.

Hearing that the Lingnan Plain can produce so much grain, Wang Jin, the big leader, can't sit still. This is related to an important issue in the future development of the base.

With enough food, Wang Jin can increase the population of the base without any scruples, and increase the number of Euglena in disguise to provide the number of Zerg.

And with food, Wang Jin can also trade with other large bases in exchange for brain nuclei from other bases, which can be used to develop the Zerg race.

Worst of all, food can also improve the quality of life of base survivors, prosper the base, and thus increase the production efficiency of the base.

In short, food has many benefits. How could a greedy guy like Wang Jin watch this piece of fat fly away in the Lingnan Plain? He had to work hard to grow food here.

"Willing to die for the city lord."

The eyes of the others were also bright, and they stood up abruptly and answered with hands clapped.

They were also stimulated by the grain output of the Lingnan base, and they supported Wang Jin's decision with 1.

50 million tons of grain!Comparing the 1 tons of sweet potatoes harvested not long ago in the Lishan base planting area, Jardin and the others felt like they were losing money.

Fortunately, they were complacent about the grain production in the planting area before, but now that they heard about the grain production in the Lingnan Plain, Jia Ding and the others felt ashamed.

What a shame!When it comes to the real landlords in the Lingnan Plain, the Lishan Base Planting Area is just a poor farmer!

Now they want to take down the Lingnan Plain no matter what, and turn it into a sea of ​​food.

Thinking of the joy, everyone seems to have seen the wind blowing the fragrance of rice and flowers, and the scene of a bumper harvest of cattle and sheep walking everywhere.

When Wang Jin saw the fiery looks in everyone's eyes, he had a feeling in his heart that perhaps the Lingnan Plain was his biggest gain from conquering the Lingnan base this time.
