<h4>Chapter 140 Turn The Tide</h4>


    "Mom, I''m so hungry!" On the streets of Tianjing City, a ragged little girl was sobbing in her mother''s arms.


    It had been a long time since she had eaten anything. She had even eaten the dirt on the ground, but it was far from enough to solve the hunger in her stomach.


    There were many children like her, most of whom died of hunger, and she did not want to die.


    "Sleep for a while. Sleep for a while. When you wake up, you won''t be hungry anymore." The mother patted her daughter''s head gently.


    Food. This was the biggest problem Tianjing had to face. Too many refugees had suddenly poured in. The food in Tianjing was simply insufficient to supply so many people. It was normal for someone to starve to death.


    The Dragon King used all his strength to teleport the surviving humans to Tianjing, but it only prolonged their lives. They were not free from the threat of death.


    "Kla!" A willow branch extended to the street where the mother and daughter were. The willow branch split apart and hundreds of willows appeared in an instant. Each willow branch was hung with golden corn.


    This mother looked at the golden corn above her head in disbelief. At this moment, he didn''t even have time to think about why the corn was growing on the tree and reached out to grab the corn.


    However, the willow branch was too tall. Even if she stood up, she would not be able to catch it. She was too weak and could no longer jump. Even if the food was right in front of her, she would not be able to reach it.


    The willow branch slightly moved down, and the golden corn automatically fell down!


    The mother sowed a corn kernel and stuffed it into her daughter''s mouth. Sweet juice dripped into the girl''s mouth. The girl greedily sucked the juice. Her weak body was recovering, and the juice of the corn was rich in nutrition.


    This kind of thing happened in every street, every corner of Tianjing City, because the hungry almost died, because the willow tree came back to life again.


    Fang Bai looked at the willow tree that was bearing fruit with aplicated expression. This murderous monster could actually save people!


    "Well done!" Kong Yun threw out two metal bottles, and the branches of the willow immediately wrapped around the metal bottles and put them away.


    "Bang!"


    "Bang!"


    "Bang!"


    The willow branches in the sky stabbed down from the sky like sharp swords. Thousands of willow branches descended from the sky, piercing through the zombies on the ground and stabbing into the ground.


    "Gulu! Gulu!" The willow branches of the willow tree instantly turned blood red. The bodies of the zombies that were stabbed quickly withered, leaving only a pile of rotting skin bags in the blink of an eye.


    The willow branch inserted into the ground split again, spreading like a prairie fire around Tianjing City. The zombies around Tianjing City were dying at an astonishing rate.


    The soldiers on the city wall looked at this scene in disbelief. The zombies were being routed and mercilessly hanged by the willow tree.


    "What is this?" The soldiers on the walls of Tianjing City couldn''t help but ask.


    "If you ask me, who should I ask?" The officer red at him angrily.


    "However, it''s definitely something good. It''s on our side." The officer added.


    The army of zombies that had not been repelled after fighting for two years had been wiped out by the willow tree in just two days. Although there were still many zombies wandering outside Tianjing City, with the willow tree as a barrier, these zombies were simply unable to get close to Tianjing City.


    Within a hundred li radius of Tianjing City, it had already be a safe area. As long as the willow branches were present, the zombies could only be the food of the willow trees.


    "Hey hey hey, you shouldn''t go too far. This kind of thing can only happen once. Why are you doing it one after another?" Daliushu said angrily.


    "If you discover a new seed, I''ll give you a bottle of the Dragon Blood Divine Tree''s juice. It won''t be capped." Kong Yun said.


    "Hey, hey, hey, hey, you said it, don''t go back on your word." The willow tree''s spirit shook.


    "What do you say?" Kong Yun smiled.


    "Put it on me. It''s a trivial matter!" The branches of the willow tree instantly spread out from Tianjing City, searching for seeds that could be used.


    A month had passed since the Great Willow Tree cleared the zombies around Tianjing City. In this month, the people in Tianjing City had be ustomed to the existence of the Great Willow Tree. Why couldn''t they ept a willow tree that could protect them and provide them with food?


    Because of the big willow tree, the problem of food in Tianjing City had been solved. In fact, during this month, there were many special abilities in Tianjing City.


    The maize found by the willow tree was a mutated nt. Moreover, the genes of these maize had been modified by the willow tree. It was even more extraordinary. After consuming these maize, it could greatly increase the chance of an ordinary person awakening their abilities.


    "Dragon King, General Fang is here." Yang Huai said.


    "Let him in." Kong Yun nodded.


    Fang Bu nervously entered the space that only belonged to the Dragon King. Even the highest leaders of the military had never entered this space.


    "General Fang, please sit down!" Kong Yun said.


    Fang Butong nodded and did not speak. He was waiting for Kong Yun to speak first.


    "General Fang, I invited you this time because I have something to ask of you." Kong Yun said.


    "The Dragon King is joking. My strength is mediocre. How can I help the Dragon King?" Fang Bai shook his head.


    "So General Fang is unwilling to help me?" Kong Yun frowned slightly.


    "I don''t dare, I don''t dare. I''m just afraid that my strength will be low and that I will lose to the Dragon King." Fang Bu said.


    Kong Yunughed loudly, "General Fang has filtered it. Actually, it is not a difficult matter. To General Fang, it is just a small matter."


    "A small matter?" Fang Bu frowned. He could not guess what Kong Yun was thinking.


    Kong Yun smiled faintly. He pointed his finger and a sword appeared in his hand. The sword lightlynded in Fang Bai''s hand.


    "Dragon King, this is" Fang Bu''s pupils constricted as he looked at Kong Yun in disbelief.


    "What would General Fang think if I had a squad of armored nes equipped with such weapons?" Kong Yun asked with a smile.


    "Ka!" Fang Dongfang''s palm was covered by ayer of rock, but this sword easily cut through theyer of rock. Its sharpness and hardness far surpassed the weapons that China could forge at present.


    Fang Bu was extremely shocked. Even his own rock armor could be easily cut open. Naturally, this kind of weapon could cause fatal damage to zombies, especially those thick-skinned Titan zombies s and super Titan zombies s. With such a weapon, it would be easy to deal with.


    Fang Bing also noticed that Kong Yun had also created a sniper rifle. Now that it was owned by Ouyang Qin, that sniper rifle was astonishingly powerful and could easily kill warrior-level mutated beasts.


    "This kind of weapon can be mass produced?" Fang Bao looked at Kong Yun in surprise. Once this weapon was mass-produced, the strength of the army would probably rise by several levels.


    "At present, mass production is impossible." Kong Yun shook his head.


    "I''m too greedy." Fang Bao sighed.


    "But with the help of the military and the government, ten thousand can still be done." Kong Yun ced a list of materials on the table.


    Seeing this list of materials, Fang Bu couldn''t help but gasp. Although the materials on it couldn''t be said to be precious, the amount was simply toorge. The most ordinary steel actually reached a million tons, and some precious alloys were calcted in tons. This almost emptied the bottom of Tianjing City.


    As the Dragon King, Kong Yun naturally knew about Tianjing City''s material reserves, so he made this list of materials.


    "General Fang can go back and consider it." Kong Yun said.


    Fang Butong nodded, "I wonder if I can bring back this sword."


    "No problem. This was originally my gift to General Fang." Kong Yun smiled and nodded.


    "Doctor Li, is there still no clue about the ingredients of this sword?" Fang Bu ''s face was filled with anxiety.


    Doctor Li shook his head, "General Fang, I''ve done my best. So far, I can only detect that this sword is made of metal. However, I don''t have any clue as to what kind of metal it is. It doesn''t belong to any metal found on Earth. It should be a brand new alloy."


    "Brand new alloy, can''t we make it?" Fang Bu asked.


    "I can''t even detect the ingredients. How can I make it?" Doctor Li shook his head with a bitter smile.


    Fang Butong nodded, "Thank you, Doctor Li. I understand."


    After being evaluated by the military experts, they had a direct understanding of the performance of this sword. The most conservative estimate was that troops equipped with weapons of the same level could increase theirbat strength by at least two to three times.


    However, the amount of steel and various alloys was simply too much. This would even affect Tianjing''s research and development in the future.


    "We have to add one more. We need 5,000 firearms." An old man with five golden stars on his shoulder patted the table, ending the discussion.


    The military and the government agreed that Kong Yun needed the materials, but they had to provide 5,000 more guns.


    Kong Yun sucked the teapot, looked at the conditions listed by the military, and put the information on the table.


    Fang Bai looked at Kong Yun nervously, not knowing what kind of reaction he would make.


    "Five thousand guns, you guys have a big appetite. However, without the design drawings and prototypes, I can''t make them either." Kong Yun shook his head.


    "The military will provide the blueprints and prototypes. Does the Dragon King agree?" Fang Bai looked at Kong Yun in surprise.


    "You guys should send over the required weapon styles, specifications, and quantities in a form. If it goes well, this batch of weapons will bepleted in a month." Kong Yun said.


    "Alright, I''ll go back immediately to prepare!" Fang Bu said.


    Ten thousand melee troops and five thousand ranged troops. These fifteen thousand troops would be China''s trump cards. Those who entered this army would definitely be the elites among the elites. It would definitely take a lot of work to select such a troop. However, it would not be a problem for the military and the government to work together.
