With Shen Feng's help, blizzards continued to fall on the ground from the sky. The snow on the ground was at least four or five feet deep. Such deep snow could completely freeze people to death, but the same bugs hiding underground Once encountering ice and snow, insects will be the first to freeze to death.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers quickly cleared the ground. As long as they found the nest where the locusts were, they would quickly dig it up and let the snow melt into it, which would freeze the locusts to death in an instant. underground.
Tom also discussed with the heads of several consortiums. The original Great Lakes region did not actually belong to them, but after the doomsday came, the local organizations collapsed, and in the end there were only many gangs left. Now Their army has arrived here and can take over the Great Lakes area.
"I suggest that several of our eastern cities will jointly manage the Great Lakes region. The food produced in the future will be enough for us to unify the entire North America again!" Tom said to several people in the consortium.
"Your plan is very good, but we didn't expect that the God of Wind in the East could be invited by you. This is really an amazing thing! It will be of great help to our next actions. In the Five Great Lakes There is actually very fertile soil in the north, and it is unmanaged now, so why not take this opportunity to grab the apprentices on the opposite side as well." The rest of the consortium leaders said greedily.
The Great Lakes region is actually not just a lighthouse country. There is another country on the opposite side, that is, Canada in the north. However, in the end of the world, the northern country has collapsed first, and now no one is managing the land of the Great Lakes in the north. It would be a good idea to seize this opportunity. After all, their ancestors relied on robbery to make a fortune, and now they can rob the land opposite without any problem.
After hearing this plan, Tom nodded and said, "Although this plan was thought of temporarily, it is indeed executable. However, I would like to remind everyone here that we need to increase investment next. I don’t know what you think?”
"Isn't it just to increase investment? We followed!" Later, a consortium expressed the need to increase investment.
Now these consortiums have seen the benefits of acquiring land. As long as they can grab enough land, they will be able to control a large amount of food in the next doomsday, especially in the areas around the Great Lakes where there are many plains for agricultural production. It is very suitable. The rich water resources can allow them to avoid the impact of drought. Taking advantage of this rare opportunity to snatch more apprentices, they can have a better future, and the family behind them will definitely do this. Agreed.
Shen Feng didn't know that his mission had become heavier. In the past few days, he had been floating in the sky, communicating with people on the ground through walkie-talkies. Every day, helicopters delivered supplies to Shen Feng's house. There are many supplies around me: drinking water and food, as well as books to relieve boredom.
Humans are always social animals, so humans need social activities to avoid mental illness. When Shen Feng was floating in the sky, there was no one to communicate with. Even if he used a walkie-talkie, he could not get a cold reply. , in this case, you need to read a book to relieve loneliness.
However, just as the plan to clean up the locusts was being implemented in an orderly manner, many soldiers on the front line discovered an abnormal situation. The reason was that when soldiers were cleaning the area near the lake, they suddenly discovered a strange animal. This animal was abnormal.
It is tall and can reach a height of 5 meters, but it does not fight when it sees humans, it turns around and runs away, and disappears after getting into the water.
"There are monsters in the lake. These monsters seem to have very little courage. As soon as they see the appearance of humans, they will immediately hide in the lake." A soldier reported this incident.
After the officers in the army heard about this incident, they immediately paid attention to it, and then set up many cameras by the lake to capture images of these monsters. If they found that these monsters were a threat to humans, they would not hesitate.
to attack.
But after the military cameras captured the images of these monsters and analyzed them, they became happy because they all discovered what this strange animal was.
They are all mutated beavers.
There is a very strange animal in North America, the beaver. This kind of beaver looks very strange. It looks nondescript, like a mouse, but it is not a mouse. This kind of beaver is a vegetarian. Strictly speaking, it likes to eat trees.
As food, they also like to cut down trees and build dams.
After people living in North America discovered beavers cutting down trees a long time ago, they regarded beavers as killers of natural ecology, because cutting down trees will cause soil erosion. This is a well-known thing. However, in subsequent studies, scientists have
Only then did we discover that these beavers actually build dams, which is conducive to the formation of swamps. With swamps and wetlands, water is easier to preserve. The wetland system is known as the "kidney of the earth" and is very important in influencing climate.
Ever since, after understanding this, scientists immediately began to call for the protection of beavers so that their populations can be restored. Unfortunately, it is already too late.
Beavers were slaughtered for many years as killers of destroying ecosystems, and finally suffered a severe blow. Later, unscrupulous businessmen discovered that beavers' fur was very smooth and could be used to make high-end clothing, so for profit, they
Many hunters began to hunt beavers. Later, the beaver population was difficult to recover and became an absolutely protected animal.
"Immediately notify all soldiers that beavers are not allowed to be hunted and must be protected. These beavers can build dams and have a positive effect on the local ecosystem. They are not allowed to destroy the nests and dams made by beavers." An order was immediately issued among the army.
An order was issued prohibiting soldiers from harming these mutated beavers.
After mutation, beavers still exist as vegetarian animals and have not changed their habits. Moreover, although this animal has become huge after mutation, its fear of humans has not disappeared. Therefore, after seeing humans, these beavers first
He immediately chose to run away, not daring to get along with humans at all.
The profit-minded soldiers discovered this, and then they became greedy, because these people all knew that the fur on beavers was one of the raw materials for high-end clothing. As long as they could kill beavers, they could get generous rewards. Now there is such a huge temptation.
Right in front of them, of course they regarded the military order as nonsense.
"Such a great opportunity to make a fortune is right in front of us, how can we just let it go? As long as we kill a beaver quietly, we can get a lot of money and get rid of the status of poor people in the future." Some soldiers were talking quietly.
Discuss the hunt for beavers.
As a result, these beavers suffered in the following time. After building dams and nests, these beavers had been hiding in the nests and did not come out at all. When they saw humans, they ran away like crazy and did not dare to interact with them.
Humanity confronts.
However, humans do not want to let go of beavers, not only because beavers are not lethal, but also because the fur on beavers is so valuable. As long as you peel off a piece of skin and take it back, you can get countless money, and even become a middle class person.
Therefore, during the day, people pretended that they had not seen the beaver, but at night, the soldiers would find the beaver's nest based on the direction in their memory, directly remove the dam, and then find the beaver's nest.
Kill the beavers in their dens and take them away. Kill them all, young and old.
"What a bunch of gangsters who are greedy for profit. If an endangered protected animal is discovered, it will be protected first in China. Unexpectedly, it is hunted and killed in North America without any care at all. What a gangster!" Xu Xingzai saw this
After the scene, I couldn't help but curse in a low voice.
The translator beside her did not dare to say anything after hearing these words, because if these words were heard by the soldiers, they would definitely be disgusted.
In China, the protection of wild animals is very serious, and only in the apocalypse can they be killed casually. In the past, if anyone dared to catch protected animals, they would definitely be imprisoned, but this is not the case in North America.
People openly support various laws, but secretly they violate them. During the day, they memorize the location of beaver dens, and at night they start to make extra money. They kill beavers, skin them off on the spot, and then
Bring back.
But in the minds of many soldiers, this kind of profit
There is no problem with the way of making extra money, because they have lived like this for hundreds of years, especially in the end of the world, many poor people rely on hunting to obtain meat. Now it is just killing a strange prey.
, it’s no big deal.
Xu Xing used to have a lot of favorable impressions of North America because she had long heard that it had beautiful scenery, prosperous culture and technology, and that everyone would like this powerful country.
But when she actually came here, she felt disgusted because she suddenly discovered that this country was full of immoral behaviors such as robbing and hunting. Even beavers, harmless protected animals, would be cruelly treated.
In the past, there were people who shamelessly used their country's national treasures to trade. It can be said that the people here are greedy and shameless. If it weren't for the sake of getting the national treasure, she would not be bothered to stay with these scum.
Of course, the current heads of these consortiums have no intention of caring about the petty quarrels of their subordinates. Anyway, for them, as long as they can get the land, it is worth paying any price. As for the soldiers hunting
Beavers, anyway, humans have exterminated many creatures, including beavers.
There are constant blizzards in the sky. After these blizzards fall on the ground, they form thick snow. Countless bugs are frozen to death in the snow, but the same human actions will also be hindered, but even
Despite being hindered, the soldiers worked enthusiastically because they all knew that as long as they performed outstandingly, they would receive generous rewards.
