Chapter Summary
Because ordinary people can only eat grains for 1/3 of the year, and eat protein blocks for 2/3 of the year. The base city had no choice; if they didn't provide protein blocks, they wouldn't be able to feed so many people, and the death toll would be even higher. Thanks to these protein blocks, the population of this planet has been able to maintain its current size; otherwise, it would only be half of what it is today.
Although hydroponics has been developed in the current base city and the yield is not low, scientists have confirmed that hydroponically grown crops lack various nutrients.
Therefore, it is necessary to combine it with crops grown outside the city so that people can grow healthily.
Scientists' research is generally of little use to ordinary people.
Because ordinary people can only eat grains for 1/3 of the year, and eat protein blocks for 2/3 of the year. These blocks look similar to turtle jelly, and the ingredients they are made from are disgusting animals, namely cockroaches.
The base city had no choice; if they didn't provide protein blocks, they wouldn't be able to feed so many people, and the death toll would be even higher.
Some say that protein blocks are the greatest invention of all time. Thanks to these protein blocks, the population of this planet has been able to maintain its current size; otherwise, it would only be half of what it is today.
Since the discovery of protein blocks, each person can receive two blocks per day, provided free of charge by the government. Apart from being difficult to swallow, there are no other problems with it.
For impoverished people, some haven't eaten grain for one or two years, and this is what they eat all the time.
As long as they can survive, they don't care what they eat, and Liu Ning can't control that; he can only care about his own family.
Ensuring that his family has enough to eat is what Liu Ning needs to do now. It's not that he's selfish; it's just that he doesn't have that much ability.
When the elevator doors opened, Liu Ning saw his mother and wife again.
I've already told these two people that I'm now a warrior apprentice, much stronger than before, and that I don't need to worry about dying out there. There's no need for me to come here every day.
But the two of them wouldn't listen; they just wanted to see their loved ones as soon as possible.
My mother and daughter-in-law came running over crying. They had just seen online that a level-two beast tide had occurred outside the city.
When they saw Liu Ning, the mother and daughter were incredibly excited, but what about the others?
Everyone else was crying. Take Liu Ning's squad for example; apart from Luo Dong, everyone else died outside. The losses in the city this time were definitely not small.
You could tell from the crying at the scene that 9 out of 10 households were crying, and the vast majority of the ordinary patrol members did not run back.
Luo Dong looked at Liu Ning with some gratitude. Although the guy was covered in injuries, he was undoubtedly very lucky compared to these people who were crying. If it weren't for Liu Ning, his soul would probably be on the road to the underworld.
"Liu Ning, I won't say anything more. From now on, my life is yours. As long as you need me, I'll go through fire and water for you. Just say the word."
Luo Dong said firmly, this guy was definitely not just saying that for show.
Having experienced two brushes with death, his character is far beyond that of an ordinary person. This guy really wants to repay Liu Ning, but unfortunately, his abilities are too limited, and he may not even have the chance to help him.
"Stop talking nonsense. We're all fellow disciples. Take this money and go to the community martial arts gym to train properly. I won't always be by your side in the future. The most important thing is to strengthen your own abilities so that your family can rest assured."
Liu Ning took out 5,000 yuan, and Luo Dong did not refuse Liu Ning's kindness, because he understood that only when he became stronger could he help Liu Ning.
The community martial arts gym is indeed a good place, with various equipment that can help you become stronger quickly, but the prices are also astonishing, costing 100 yuan per hour. His family is not much richer than Liu Ning used to be, and now all their money has been taken by his wife. 5,000 yuan is a lifesaver.
Luo Dong is no longer sad. He was still lamenting about his runaway wife when he went out, but he no longer has those thoughts.
Just look at Liu Ning. He used to be just like her, but now, countless young girls are waiting around him, hoping to say a few more words to him. Liu Ning is now the idol of all the girls at the gathering place.
Liu Ning didn't look at the young girls, because he understood a principle: a wife who has shared hardship should not be abandoned.
Back when I was down on my luck, these people wouldn't even look at me. Now that I've become the second-in-command of the gathering place, they've all come running to me. What's going on here?
Let's go home!
In a very simple way, compared to all of you who are crying, Liu Ning feels extremely happy right now.
Zhang Jing had initially worried that Liu Ning wouldn't be able to resist the temptation, but now it seemed that her worries were unnecessary. This put Zhang Jing at ease, as there aren't many men these days who are both capable and considerate.
On the way home, the naval base released a news report stating that approximately 185,000 people had died outside during this beast tide.
Liu Ning experienced it all from beginning to end. If the laser cannon had been used back then, perhaps more people outside would have survived.
If the elevator doors had closed a little later, many more people might have survived.
However, those above had their own considerations. If the elevator had closed a little later, perhaps even more soldiers and apprentices would have died. Liu Ning couldn't change anything, so he could only mourn for these people.
The second message was from Wei Xiong, and this was the most important one. These were the losses for their gathering point, and Liu Ning knew he didn't have much vacation time left.
In this catastrophe, two apprentice soldiers died in their own settlement, and less than one-tenth of the ordinary team members returned. The settlement is now facing a true calamity.
Liu Ning's mind flashed back to that scene—the moment he was taken away from the classroom. Perhaps many more recruits would be taken away from the classroom, and their ages wouldn't be limited to 16...
When I returned to the community martial arts school, it was filled with wailing. The entire place was covered in white, and there were no corpses at all. We could only use their clothes to make a cenotaph.
Wei Xiong stood there with a livid face. For him, this was the most severe loss the gathering point had ever suffered.
Although he wanted to provide some subsidies to these people, unfortunately our gathering point was too poor.
They searched all the cash, but could only give each person 15,000 yuan. 15,000 yuan represents a human life.
