SRTT Chapter 45.1

New Year's Gift (1)

Advertisement

After more than a month, the expedition team that set out from the disaster relief camp finally returned.

When they arrived at the disaster relief camp, each of them was exhausted and their faces were covered with frost.

Even Yan Ruoxue’s appearance had completely changed. Her face was an unhealthy red, with traces of frostbite and spreading scars.

When Sun Yongchao saw his stubborn fiancée, he burst into tears in front of everyone and hugged Yan Ruoxue for a long time without saying a word.

475 people set out, and 412 returned. The situation was better than expected.

They brought back a total of 1,296 winter clothes. In addition to it, they also brought back a special food.

At that time, the expedition team arrived at a medium-sized city in the north. Compared with their city, which was flat and had mountains that could be seen clearly at a glance, this city was adjacent to a majestic and endless mountain range.

Compared to their city, this city’s population was much smaller, and the food aid they received was not as timely as this side.

After discussion, the local government decided to send an advance team to the mountains.

There were animals and plants in the mountains, which were rich in resources but also dangerous.

There was also an agricultural expert in the advance team, who was responsible for identifying edible plants.

After arriving at the mountain, the expert weighed the matter in his mind and felt that even if the mountain was eaten bare, it would not be able to support a city of five million people.

There was another way, which was to engage in breeding.

But the breeding process was generally very slow, and they didn’t have many tools at hand. Even if they didn’t want it to be healthy, they didn’t even have hormone drugs.

Perhaps he was a true genius or something else, but after three days of thinking hard, the expert decided to apply to the higher authorities.

He wanted to engage in earthworm breeding.

The top government officials were immediately in an uproar, thinking that he was just trying to attract attention.

The expert said: “We are now facing an unprecedented disaster for mankind. No one can guarantee when and how the heavy rain will stop.”

“We don’t even have food for people to eat, and we can’t even raise anything else.”

“Only earthworms can survive even if you give them a pile of shit.”

“Earthworms are nature’s decomposers. Rotting leaves, dead grass, anything can sustain their lives.”

“It only takes one month, one month for them to start reproducing.”

“Earthworms are also high-protein animals.”

Finally, this expert convinced some senior officials and decided to give him a chance.

The expert began to look for earthworm species in the mountains and commanded soldiers to build simple tree houses for himself.

He even ignored the opposition and asked to send rotten soil and earthworm seeds to every household when distributing compressed biscuits.

In the beginning, he was laughed at, despised, and even insulted by everyone.

But a month later, the people trapped in the same place were starving, so they turned their attention to the earthworm breeding soil.

The families who didn’t throw this thing away burst into tears.

At this time, the temperature in the north had dropped.

The expert spread the news again, telling everyone that if they felt disgusted by eating earthworms directly, they could put them next to the fire and dry them before using them. This is also a traditional Chinese medicine.

But, who cared whether it was disgusting or not?

They had to keep the temperature of the earthworm box good even if they were freezing.

Thanks to these dried earthworms, the burning, killing, and looting were greatly reduced. Nearly half of the city’s population survived.

After the expedition team arrived, the compressed biscuits they brought were extremely popular. Then, they exchanged it for more than a thousand sets of winter clothes and 1,000 catties of dried earthworms.

This incident caused a great sensation in the disaster relief camp. There were about 4 million earthworms in 1,000 catties of dried earthworms, so everyone got a small handful of protein.
