When Tang Zhen saw these white flesh worms, he immediately thought of the larvae of a type of fly. Tang Zhen couldn’t help but feel nauseated when he recalled the scene of the wriggling larvae.
However, as far as he knew, the larvae were actually very nutritious. There was a dish called ” meat tendrils ” that used the larvae of these flies as the main ingredient. It was said that it left a fragrance in the mouth when eaten.
Just as Tang Zhen’s thoughts were wandering, a few strong men wearing leather armbands jumped into the pool. The few of them worked together and slowly wriggled a big white Worm into a big iron basket with a handle.
After the bug was carried out, the few of them carried it to a stone platform. Someone then brought over clean water and poured it on the bug to wash it.
Then, a fierce-looking man stabbed the meat Worm’s Head with a sharp knife. After that, he went around to the ring at the end of the meat worm and pulled it back with force.
A complete set of the worm’s internal organs had been pulled out. After the burly man threw it into the basin, someone came forward to take the basin away and clean the internal organs.
The worm that had its internal organs extracted twitched slightly before it died.
The burly man’s knife moved swiftly and quickly cut the meat worm into tofu-sized cubes. Each piece of worm meat was white and tender, and it trembled non-stop as if it were frozen.
After dissecting one meat worm, the second one was quickly sent over. The burly man repeated the previous action and only stopped after he had dealt with ten meat worms.
Some people were cleaning the empty breeding ponds.
First, the stinky liquid was carried away in buckets. After washing it with water, someone put in fist-sized meat worms.
After these little flesh worms were put in, they began to gobble up the food in big mouthfuls. They only stopped eating after their bodies were full.
The meat worms were fed with the leftovers and some disgusting things that the residents of Lou city had thrown away.
When the flesh worms stopped eating and resting, they would excrete a foul-smelling liquid, which was the best fertilizer for the giant potatoes and mushrooms.
Tang Zhen could not help but sigh when he saw this scene. Perhaps, such a strange food cycle only existed within the tower.
After witnessing the entire process, it was unknown what the residents of the building city were thinking. In any case, Tang Zhen would definitely not touch this food.
After loading the carnivorous worms ‘carnivorous meat into the carts, the residents drove the carriages away from the place. Tang Zhen had also lost interest in continuing to investigate. He quietly followed behind the carriage and slowly walked toward the ground.
When they passed by the mushroom forest and potato field, the Coachmen also carried many baskets of potato mushrooms and pulled them out together.
When the carriage reached the ground, people unloaded these things and began to trade in the shops by the square.
If the residents of the tower wanted to obtain this food, they would have to use a type of currency issued by Black Rock City to purchase it. At this moment, they were lining up in a long line. They were making a transaction where they paid the money and delivered the goods at the same time. They were buying the insect meat that Tang Zhen found difficult to swallow.
In addition to the food from the underground space, there were some edible monster jerky, fish, and bird meat, as well as a grain similar to grass seeds.
Among the food, Tang Zhen also saw some wild vegetables and fruits. They were washed and tied up to be sold.
Tang Zhen did not know how many residents there were in Black Rock City. However, there were definitely more than 10000 people. The food in front of him was simply not enough for a day’s worth of needs for these residents.
Tang Zhen guessed that they had other sources of food. It was just that he had yet to come into contact with them.
Tang Zhen raised his head and glanced at an even higher place in Black Rock City. His eyes slightly narrowed as he carefully passed through the crowd in the Plaza and began to search for the entrance to the upper floor.
In fact, the entrance to the upper floor was very easy to find. It was just that Tang zhengang still hadn’t noticed it.
The entrance closest to him was in the middle of two shops. There were two Black Rock City cultivators with swords guarding the entrance. However, in Tang Zhen’s opinion, the two of them were just putting on an act.
Tang Zhen, who had activated the quantum stealth light screen, gently sneaked in.
The interior of Black Rock City was extremely large. It was impossible for Tang Zhen to wander around aimlessly. Therefore, he had his eyes on a tall girl with a ponytail who was carrying a vegetable basket. He carefully followed behind her.
The girl was about 17 or 18 years old. She wore a set of coarse clothes and her movements were agile and strong. She had a level 1 cultivation.
She hummed along the way, and her slender legs quickly climbed up the stairs. In the blink of an eye, she arrived at the 11th floor.
After reaching this floor, there was an extremely long circular corridor. On both sides of the corridor, there were doors of houses next to each other. There were dozens of doors on one side of the passage, which meant that there were more than a hundred rooms on this floor.
From time to time, the residents would greet this young lady, and she would respond to them one by one with a brilliant smile.
Tang Zhen dodged a few children who were running around crazily in the corridor. After the young lady opened her door, he quietly entered her house.
This was an extremely plain room, about ten square meters in area. There was nothing out of the ordinary, and there was not much furniture on the floor, only two wooden beds.
However, there was a set of swords and leather armor hanging on the wall that made Tang Zhen take a few more glances. This was because he could feel a battle Aura from the repaired leather armor and sword.
However, the young lady’s next action gave him a feeling of having his eyes opened.
The girl came to a stone platform that was one meter square by the wall. She reached out and pressed on a bump on the wall. A stream of water flowed out from the tap-like thing, but the water flow was very slow.
The girl placed the food she bought into a basin, washed it with water, and then poured the dirty water into the sewer entrance on the stone platform.
Next, the girl cut up the food and put it to the side, then took out a pot.
She pressed a red bump on the wall, and a square stone slab on the cooking table quickly turned red, and a heat wave slowly spread out.
After he placed the pot on top of it, water vapor quickly emerged from the metal pot, and at the same time, the fragrance of food wafted through the air.
Then, he saw the girl scrape a white stone on the stone table a few times with her knife and pour the powder that hung down into the pot.
The food that was originally thin and slimy immediately became thick and sticky after the White powder was poured into it!
The girl hummed a song as she cooked, but she didn’t know that in the corner of her house, an invisible person was watching with his mouth agape!
f * ck, is this still the loucheng world? the kitchen equipment of the loucheng residents is comparable to the black technology in the application store!
Tang Zhen could not help but click his tongue in wonder. His face had an expression of having gained new knowledge.
Before he entered the city, he had many speculations about the things inside the city. His ideas were also wild and imaginative, but now that he looked at it again, he realized that he had been too naive.
After the girl finished preparing the food, she took out a notebook-sized portrait from under the bed and looked at it silently.
From Tang Zhen’s angle, he was able to see the contents of the painting.
It was a family portrait. A couple and two children, a boy and a girl, were sitting in the square. The statue of the founder of Black Rock City was used as the background, and the whole family was smiling happily.
The girl looked at the portrait, but tears suddenly overflowed from her eyes. She then covered her nose, her thin shoulders trembling slightly, and she began to sob silently.
