2568 Temporary calmness (1)
After a short cheer, the residents of the Heaven’s Wall city immediately started to clean up the battlefield and rescue the wounded.
Due to the surprise attack of the enemy cultivators, a battle platform was destroyed, and hundreds of residents of the Heaven’s Wall city died on the spot.
In addition, there were many injured people who had been treated in time. However, due to the limited medical resources, whether they could survive or not was entirely up to luck.
Fortunately, because of Tang Zhen’s reminder, the residents knew that there were medicinal herbs all over the mountains and plains. Hence, the treatment became more relaxed and rough.
He grabbed a handful of wild grass and smashed it, applied it on the wound, boiled a pot of grass juice, and poured it directly into his mouth.
The injured man gritted his teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do. If he wanted to live, he had to take medicine. Otherwise, he could only wait for death.
However, the injured man soon discovered that his injuries were rapidly improving, and the pain was getting weaker and weaker.
At this time, the outside of the city was in chaos. Because of the bombs and cannons, the battlefield scene was extremely tragic.
The damaged city gate did not open because it had been completely deformed by the previous bombing. It was impossible to open it smoothly.
Since it wasn’t easy to open, then they might as well not open it. On the contrary, they had to seal it even tighter so that the enemy couldn’t open it.
In order to facilitate access, the residents of the Heaven’s Wall city had built special ladders that were connected to the ground from a platform that was dozens of meters high.
The residents of the Heaven’s Wall city followed the temporary passageway and began to clean up the chaotic battlefield.
There were corpses and remains everywhere, covering the entire ground. There was almost no place to stand.
The pungent smell of blood made the residents vomit. For the residents of the Heaven’s Wall city, who had come into contact with this environment for the first time, this was simply a kind of torture.
Most of the remains were monsters, and only a few of them were residents of the Heaven’s Wall city who had died in battle.
Upon seeing this scene, the residents secretly sighed in their hearts. If it wasn’t for Tang Zhen, they might have been among the corpses on the ground.
In the face of these powerful monsters, ordinary people were no match for them at all. They would inevitably be killed until their blood flowed like a river.
“Boss, what should we do with these corpses?”
Although they were disgusted to death, no one dared to disobey. They only wanted to finish the work quickly.
“The higher-ups have already ordered us to transport the corpses of these monsters to the top of the mountain and throw them into the deep pool to use as fertilizer.
As for those who fell into the lake, there’s no need to pay attention to them. They’ll end up as fertilizer too.”
Hearing his companion’s question, the older resident of the Heaven’s Wall city replied, but a touch of sadness flashed in his eyes.
In the previous battle, his brother had unfortunately died, and his body had not been found yet.
Although he knew that life and death were unpredictable on the battlefield, it was hard to accept it in a short time when it happened to his family and friends.
The young residents of the Heaven’s Wall city didn’t feel so sad. Instead, they were surprised.
are you kidding me? if we use the corpses of these monsters as fertilizer, can the fruits still be eaten? ”
what’s going on? ” the young man asked. He obviously couldn’t accept this answer. The food he ate actually used the monster’s corpse as fertilizer!
The middle-aged man sneered and said in a disdainful tone, ” you’re so picky because you’ve never been hungry before. If you really go crazy from hunger, you’ll even eat monster meat!
Hearing this, the young man quickly shook his head and said, impossible! Even if I starve to death, I will never eat the flesh of a monster!
His words were firm and decisive, and the middle-aged man did not refute them. Perhaps when the other party reached his age, he would not say such words.
Most of the residents were silent. After all, such an environment was not suitable for conversation, not to mention the monster could return at any time.
Large baskets filled with disgusting minced meat were thrown down and then transported to the deep pool at the top of the mountain.
This strange scene looked extremely evil, but its real purpose was to save more people.
There were some things that could not be looked at on the surface, but had to be understood in depth.
In fact, if it wasn’t for the special announcement, the frightened residents of tianxu city would have regarded this strange vine as a terrible monster.
Other than the residents who were cleaning up the battlefield, many people went into the forest to try and clear out the remaining monsters.
Blindly hiding in the city was not a foolproof plan. He had to let the residents of the Heaven’s Wall city face the monsters and increase their courage.
When the time was right, Tang Zhen would take the initiative to attack and clear all the monsters nearby.
This was a necessary step. Otherwise, if the monsters were allowed to roam freely, the living space in the Heaven’s Wall city would become smaller and smaller.
Active attacks and cleanups were the strongest defensive methods, which were very suitable for the Heaven’s Wall city at this time.
If it were any other place, they might not be able to bear such war losses and eventually cause their own strength to weaken.
However, the Heaven’s Wall city was different. As long as the cultivators in the city continued to gather, they would become stronger and stronger.
Perhaps nothing could be seen now, but in the middle and late stages, the advantage of the Heaven’s Wall city would become more and more obvious.
Tang Zhen had played a huge role. In the eyes of you Jiu, Luo Fei, and the others, he was actually more suitable to be in charge of logistics.
Providing the resources needed for war and allowing the soldiers to fight without restraint was far more meritorious than killing the enemy on the battlefield.
Tang Zhen also had such thoughts. Personal interests were insignificant in a war. If there was a need, he would be very happy to stay in the rear.
The premise was that there would be a reward for doing so, and he would be recognized by the cornerstone platform. He would not do something that would not benefit him.
After arranging for people to repair the city gate and the battle platform, Tang Zhen returned to the laboratory because the catalysis of the war beasts had reached a critical moment.
Relying on their geographical advantage, the Heaven’s Wall city had won this war, but it didn’t mean that they would win in the future.
The enemy’s strength would become stronger and stronger. If they could not quickly improve their own strength, the city would be broken into sooner or later.
Therefore, not only did they have to carry out their previous plan, but they also had to level it up to ensure that they could suppress the monsters.
Food security was basically not a problem. The next thing to do was to upgrade their weapons and equipment and improve their personal strength.
After returning to the laboratory, Tang Zhen checked the catalytic device and confirmed that it was working normally.
Compared to plants, animal catalysis was more complicated and had a higher chance of failure.
The dragon clan was a high-level creature. The offspring of the dragon clan with other creatures often could not live normally.
To Tang Zhen, this wasn’t a difficult matter. Not only could he guarantee the survival rate, but he had also added insect genes into the creation ball.
As for what kind of monster would be created, they had to wait until the catalysis was completed. Even Tang Zhen was unable to know the result in advance.
He looked at the timer and saw that the catalytic work would be completed in a few hours.
Tang Zhen was not in a hurry. He could use this time to organize his thoughts and figure out what he should do next.
Compared to other cultivators, Tang Zhen preferred to collect information from various dimensions. He was involved in all aspects.
This was merely a hobby. However, it was able to provide Tang Zhen with a lot of help at times.
For example, the creation skill of the artisan plane allowed Tang Zhen to easily solve the headache-inducing problem. The other cultivators in loucheng couldn’t do it.
If this problem was solved, the Heaven’s Wall city could be defended. There was no need to worry about internal strife due to food problems.
As for weapons and equipment, Lou Cheng’s cultivators didn’t have much need for them. They all had their own weapons and armors, and they would only look for other weapons if they had no choice.
If necessary, Lou Cheng cultivators could also use their own abilities to make some weapons that could terrorize the natives.
For example, the trebuchets used to attack the runic airships and the runic rockets used to bombard the city gates were all weapons made by local cultivators.
It was definitely more than enough to kill enemies on the battlefield.
However, they all had a habit of disdaining the weapons of the natives. They thought that this was a war between cultivators in the city and the natives were not qualified to participate.
Tang Zhen wanted to do the exact opposite. This was because from his past experience, if the natives made good use of it, they would often obtain an unexpected good effect!
