In the Beijing base, there are many people like Jiang Tong who have been injected with genetic drugs, but not many have been successful.
The reason is that this genetic medicine has serious flaws. After the injection, many people not only failed to become stronger as expected, but instead suffered from terrible side effects.
Some people unfortunately turned into zombies that lost their minds and only knew how to attack crazily. Some were even worse, losing their lives on the spot.
Even in the face of such high risks and uncertainties, there are still about two thousand people like Jiang Tong who have received injections of primary genetic drugs and survived in the Beijing base.
Moreover, as time goes by, this number is still growing. There is no one who does not want to become stronger so that they can survive in this disgusting world with their family. It’s just that the number of genetic drugs is scarce now and the technology is not mature yet, so they have not been popularized.
There are many even more powerful people in the capital base. Some of them have been injected with genetic drugs twice or even more times, thus possessing powers beyond ordinary people's imagination.
Compared with those powerful creatures, these giant earthworms that suddenly appeared in the vegetable garden are simply the lowest-level characters among the mutant creatures.
They have neither an indestructible shell for defense nor unique and lethal means of attack.
Even ordinary people, if they risk their lives and adopt the strategy of attacking in groups, can defeat these seemingly huge monsters with their numerical advantage.
What’s more, what about Jiang Tong, Li Feier and others whose strength is dozens of times stronger than that of ordinary people?
Sure enough, not long after, these giant earthworms that broke into the vegetable field were killed one after another under the fierce attack of Jiang Tong and others.
In this team of five people, Li Feier is the only novice. The other members have already accumulated rich experience and are familiar with dealing with these low-level mutant creatures.
These giant earthworms retain some primitive habits. Whenever there are survivors watering the vegetable fields on the ground, the moist soil environment will trigger their perception, prompting them to drill out from the ground and launch fierce attacks on humans who approach.
Therefore, every day there will be several teams like Jiang Tong on standby in the vegetable greenhouse area. Once they encounter these giant earthworms that can come out of the ground at any time, they are required to step forward to kill them and guard the vegetable area.
These greenhouse vegetables are extremely precious resources in the apocalypse and cannot afford to suffer too much loss.
Each team has different tasks every day. Guarding the greenhouse is an easy job, as giant earthworms are not attracted every day.
Not long after, several heroic soldiers in military uniforms were seen driving several huge trucks slowly towards us.
As soon as the car stopped, the survivors around cheered and rushed forward to help happily.
They worked together to move the giant earthworms, which were more than ten meters long, onto the truck.
The meat of these giant earthworms will be sent to specialized food processing plants.
There, workers will carefully process the meat and eventually make it into earthworm jerky in a variety of flavors.
Although the taste of earthworm jerky may not be as delicious as beef jerky, it can fill the stomach and provide the energy needed by the human body.
After all, the meat of this mutant creature contains extremely high energy, and its nutritional value is even much higher than that of beef.
There are four giant earthworms that are more than ten meters long! This way, the amount of jerky that can be made is quite considerable!
In this base, survivors can earn corresponding points through hard work.
Many survivors will spend their points lavishly to buy a portion of mouth-watering earthworm jerky to reward their taste buds and satisfy their cravings!
Therefore, since the emergence of these mutated creatures, they have indeed had a significant impact and change on human daily life.
After this apocalyptic catastrophe, those ordinary and common animals that were once seen everywhere have now become extremely rare and difficult to find.
Fortunately, the base has achieved the goal of growing a variety of fresh vegetables by itself, and also relies on eating the meat of mutant creatures to improve the food and add flavor.
Although such a life is still full of hardships, it at least makes people feel that there is still some hope for the future and that there is some hope for the future.
"It's good to have genetic warriors."
"Yes, with them, we can improve our meals occasionally."
"We harvested dozens of tons of earthworm meat today. I heard that greenhouse No. 72 also caught a few."
"Really? Then the price of dried earthworm meat will be cheaper in a few days. I will definitely buy some then."
"Me too! I eat cockroach cakes every day and my mouth is so dry. I'll buy one when I get home."
Cockroach cakes are made from ordinary farmed cockroaches, not the mutated cockroaches that Chen Bufan had killed. They have a strong odor and are not delicious, but they are high in protein.
"If we all go together, maybe we can get a cheaper price if we buy it as a group!"
"You're dreaming. There are millions of people in our base, and many of them don't even have enough to eat. How can it be cheap? Just wait for the mutant creatures to attack the city. Then there will be plenty of food."
"Shut up! The mutants will eat you first when they attack the city. How dare you expect that? Go to work! The holes made by the earthworms need to be filled with soil!"
"Yes, yes, yes! Go, go, go! I spoke out of turn."
Looking at the unfriendly eyes of the soldiers around him, this man shrank his neck, bowed to everyone around him with an apologetic look on his face, then looked gratefully at the people who had smoothed things over for him and went to work together.
The capital base has also encountered several sieges, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties, so this is not a good thing to say, and it is no wonder that people look at him unkindly. If he is not shot, it means that the soldiers are all good people. Doomsday will use severe punishments and no one should speak carelessly.
"Thank you for saving my life, Miss. I will never forget your kindness! If you need anything in the future, just let me know."
The man who was delivered by caesarean section from the belly of an earthworm by Li Feier kowtowed to Li Feier to express his gratitude. He had nothing to repay her, but he could use his strength.
"Hey! It's okay, we are all human beings, we should unite! Go and clean yourself up! It's uncomfortable to be covered in mucus~" Li Feier waved her hand indifferently, helped him up, and said with a smile, you're welcome.
The man who was saved by Li Feier looked at her deeply, wanting to remember her appearance in his mind so that he could repay her when he had the chance in the future.
Jiang Tong and the other four stood quietly there, staring at the trucks that were gradually moving away.
At this time, listening to the compliments from the people around her, the man who had just been rescued from the earthworm's belly also kept thanking her.
