Don’t panic when the apocalypse comes, stock up on food first and then guns

"Tombkeeper? Ancient tomb? Why did they blow up the ancient tomb?" Jiang You asked.

Chen Meiyu nodded, "I later found out vaguely that they seemed to be for the recipe left by some alchemist in the ancient tomb."

"Who is the owner of your ancient tomb?"

"I don't know. It has been passed down from generation to generation. We only know that we have to guard the tomb. No one has mentioned the identity of the tomb owner, and we don't know either."

Jiang You frowned, wondering what the function of this prescription left by the ancient alchemist could make the people of the Bailong Group go so crazy.

"and after?"

Ever since they blew up the ancestral hall, the village elders suspected that their real purpose might be the tomb.

But we can't stop that cruel giant wheel.

They spent several years unable to open the tomb. The tomb cannot be broken open violently. Once it is exploded, the self-destruction device will be activated.

About half a year before the end.

These people from the Gu family finally ran out of patience.

So they arrested the third mother-in-law.

The third mother-in-law is the most respected old man in the village and the only one who knows how to open the tomb.

That night, the entrance of the village ancestral hall was brightly lit.

The Gu family's people placed signal jammers everywhere in the village in advance, so our phone calls couldn't be made at all.

The third mother-in-law was tied to a chair.

The adults and children in the village were pressed to their knees one by one.

They killed someone every few minutes and forced the third mother-in-law to agree to open the tomb.

At first everyone thought they were scaring people. After all, in this peaceful age, who would dare to kill people at will?

But not long after, a man fell to the ground with his throat cut deeply.

The second man was skinned alive in front of everyone, leaving only his red flesh and blood burned by the flames.

Screams came one after another, then a third person, a fourth person...

They cut open Aunt Chen's belly, stuffed her two-year-old child into her belly, sewed it up, and suffocated the child to death in the mother's belly...

These people are crazy...

In their eyes, adults, old men and children are like animals in a pen that can be slaughtered at will.

Everyone died in a different way, but they were all extremely cruel.

Those people were furious, and the third mother-in-law finally compromised.

Songkou led those people into the tomb.

But I didn't expect that after the Gu family ransacked the tomb, they drove everyone in the village into the tomb.

A few days later, there was a heavy rain, and they detonated a bomb halfway up the mountain, causing a landslide and burying the entire village in a mudslide.

Chenjiacun is just gone...

……

Later, this place became a scenic spot to be developed by the Bailong Group. No one except them could come in.

They obtained a certain method from the elixir left by the alchemist to create the kind of rice that can be harvested infinitely.

The reason why those rice can be harvested infinitely is because of the ore. They use that ore to make an energy nutrient solution, which is the nutrient tank Jiang You saw before.

The nutrient solution in the jar flows along the water pipe and is injected into the root system of the rice in the stone wall.

The roots absorb nutrients and produce rice, supporting the food of the White Dragon Base.

The White Dragon Base transports survivors and feeds the Four Seasons Valley.

"Then what does the queen ant have to do with these things, and where did the superpowers go?" Jiang You still remembered these two unanswered questions.

"Haven't you seen the queen ant? You can't guess what those things that are neither human nor ghost are?"

Jiang You frowned, "Are they the survivors?"

Chen Meiyu smiled cruelly, "They raised the survivors to be fat and strong, and then grafted the egg sacs of the man-eating ant queens into the abdomen. The egg sacs will continue to grow in the human body, and finally become what you see. That look.

The egg sac is actually the uterus that gives birth to offspring.

The queens created by humans lay more eggs and are stronger than the original ant queens.

But not all survivors can become queen ants..."

"Then what do they need so many queens for?"

“To make the nutrient solution for rice growth, in addition to ore, a substance extracted from man-eating ants is also needed, so they also need a large number of man-eating ants.

...As for those with superpowers, those who successfully fuse egg sacs become queen ants.

Those who were not chosen..."

Chen Meiyu did not answer directly, but instead asked, "Since they are man-eating ants, guess what these queen ants like to eat the most?"

The corners of her mouth raised, but there were tears in her eyes.

After saying this, he leaned back and leaned weakly on the back of the chair, humming an ancient tune that Jiang You had never heard before.

It might be local slang, but Jiang You couldn't understand what she was singing.

It's just that low and eerie tune that makes people's hair stand on end in this dim mine.

Yes, what else can man-eating ants eat?

Of course... people.

Use man-eating ants and black ore to make a nutrient solution. The nutrient solution cultivates rice and uses the rice to fatten the survivors who defected. Then the survivors dig the ore, eat fat, and then enter the belly of the man-eating ants.

What a perfect closed loop.

Then the next group of survivors comes to fill the gap, forming a new cycle.

Jiang You didn't know what to say for a moment.

She always felt that she was already a pervert, but sometimes, some people were more disgusting than perverts.

Those people wear a glorious cloak and do some shameful things. They open their mouths in order to be moral and keep their mouths shut in order to be righteous.

And some people are labeled as vicious just because they rebel against their destiny.

The world is so chaotic.

She imitated Chen Meiyu and chewed the pumpkin seeds with the skin on, suppressing the raging storm in her eyes.

After a moment, he looked peaceful again.

There are no management personnel approaching the mine entrance at will, and there is no monitoring.

The diggers who came to register could be spotted before they even got close, so she wasn't worried that their conversation would be overheard.

Although there was another person in the wooden house, since Chen Meiyu dared to say it in person, she must be sure that the person would not tell anyone.

That afternoon, Jiang You found out a lot of information from Chen Meiyu.

It was so much that she couldn't digest it all at once.

There is an old monk in the cabin. According to Chen Meiyu, the old monk was trapped here by the Gu family.

But she didn't know the origin of this monk.

Jiang You didn't completely believe Chen Meiyu's words. Most of the news she told was true.

But there’s definitely a lot hidden in it that’s not said.

For example, when everyone in the village was imprisoned in the tomb, was she present?

How did she get out if she was there, and were the others in the village dead or alive?

If she wasn't there and someone from the Gu family put a signal jammer, and no one called her to tell her all this, how did she know?

There are also ways to create a queen ant. She said that she was not qualified to enter the internal dormitory, and there were many things that she only knew but did not know why.

……

Jiang You didn't intend to squeeze out the news in one go.

Secrets are something that can be repeated countless times once you open your mouth for the first time.

The information she knew was enough.

She wants to sneak into the inner dormitory, she wants to see the person who created the ant queen with her own eyes, and she also wants to know the real secret of the black ore.

This black ore and man-eating ants are in conflict with each other.

Jiang You didn't believe that its effect didn't stop there.

She also didn't believe that Shikigu did so much just for food.

Moreover, Jiang You always felt that everything in Four Seasons Valley felt strangely familiar. She had never been here before, but she felt like there were some things she should have seen before.

By the way, she wanted to come.

The behavior of Shiki Valley is very similar to the original Forbidden Island!

It’s not about the exact same thing, it’s about the style!

It's like a work of art created by a painter. Although the color structure of each painting is different, the similar style can be seen from some details.

Everything here is like a snake holding head to tail, with no beginning and no end, just an endless cycle.

The end of each cycle is the beginning of the next cycle.

Whether it’s the black ore and man-eating ants that are in conflict with each other, or the way the rice is grown, it’s all very much like the Forbidden Island style!

The creative style is like the skeleton of an artist. No matter how the skin changes, the skeleton remains the same.

After a moment, the chaos in Jiang You's eyes dissipated, and she knew.

The Four Seasons Valley is hidden deep in the mountains, not just because it provides food for the Bailong Base, but here is the real lifeblood of the Bailong Base!

Four Seasons Valley is the white dragon's dragon tendon, it's drawn!

The white dragon turns into a loach!
