My Summons Are All Gods

Chapter 440: The Food Issue

The next day, the distillation machine had already taken shape. Seeing that the machine had been built, everyone finally welcomed a morning of hope.

For this important distillation machine, they naturally needed to arrange shifts to protect it in the future. This was another mobilization of the Sky Dynasty’s people.

“Sharena, from now on you don’t need to look for luggage anymore.”

Apollo instructed Sharena. This was because affter discovering that there was poison in their luggage yesterday, even if they found luggage outside now, they might not be able to use it.

Most of the luggage carried thick clothes for keeping them warm, or for overnight support cloth which was used to assemble tents. There were also some spare parts for weapons and armor.

Of course, there was also plenty of water and food in their luggage. It was not necessarily the most delicious, but it was definitely the most satisfying.

Now, the support and cover needed for tents could be replaced by the bones and fur of monsters.

The problem of water was already solved. When this distillation machine was ready, only five or six people would need to take turns to carry the mud every day, which would solve the water problem of the Sky Dynasty.

Therefore, the luggage that was left outside was no longer a necessity. The team that went out could completely call it a day.

“Okay, Apollo, what do we do next?”

After hearing that she did not need to go out anymore, Sharena felt that more than half the burden on her shoulders had disappeared.

After the prototype of the distilling machine was made, Sharena also understood that they would no longer need the luggage that was left outside.

However, according to what His Majesty said before he left, the surrounding terrain and soil environment would have to be surveyed sooner or later.

“You guys will take turns guarding that distillation machine.”

As Sharena had spare manpower on her side, Apollo let them take turns to look after the distillation machine.

After all, any resources could be regenerated. However, building this distillation alone, the remaining strength of the entire Sky Dynasty could only build three of them.

It was said to be three because the distillation machine was made from the materials of the towers. They only had three of such towers in total, and they had to leave at least one to observe the monsters outside.

“How is outside?”

Apollo asked the staff on duty on the tower.

“Everything is normal, just like before. A few monsters died, nothing else.”

Apollo nodded. This was the best answer.

According to the report of the duty officer every night, the monsters that traveled at night were mostly jackals.

They were weak and had abnormal daily schedules. They would always sneak attack the other monsters after they fell asleep, and they would always be full.

Therefore, every night, there would be monsters that died. The jackals took nine-tenths of the credit. There were also some came from the stampede among the monsters, especially the giant elephant-shaped monsters, which a slight movement at night could crush a group of them to death.

As of today, the monsters had surrounded them for four days, and they still did not seem to be leaving.

However, not a single monster that had surrounded them for four days came in. This also showed how strong the Great Wall was. As long as they were still inside the Great Wall, they were safe.

Therefore, even though they were surrounded by these monsters, the Sky Dynasty’s people did not feel panic at all. After all, some monsters died unnaturally every night, and the Sky Dynasty had sufficient water source. The scales of victory in this protracted battle had completely skewed towards the Sky Dynasty’s side.

What made them say so was because other than the sneaky jackals, the biggest problem was these monsters had not been eating for four days, and there was not a single drop of water to drink.

According to Simmons, the monsters outside must be very weak by now. It would not be long before the monsters dispersed and no longer posed a threat to the Sky Dynasty.

Of course, it was uncertain if they would return.

“By the way, why do these monsters keep chasing after us?”

Apollo shook his head and muttered to himself. Meanwhile, Bulanda, who was beside him, grinned and said, “Maybe we’re too smelly. It’s been a long time since we took a bath.”

“A bath…”

For Apollo, this important thing to him was very far away now.

The Sky Dynasty had just solved the problem of water supply, and the distillation machine was still under construction. It was a bit too extravagant to think of thoroughly cleaning himself up.

“We women haven’t even said anything yet.”

Sharena entered the tent and complained after hearing their conversation.

More and more people entered the tent one after another. Apollo had informed them of a short meeting.

“We’ve gathered everyone here because we have something important to say, and it’s something that everyone knows.”

Facing everyone, Apollo said slowly.

At this moment, most of the people were still smiling. Some of them were even blushing and in a state of excitement.

It was because of the distillation machine that was placed at the center of the base camp. Its appearance meant that the Sky Dynasty had obtained the guarantee of drinking water and could survive here for a long time.

Originally, everyone’s biggest problem was the water source. Without water, they would not be able to live for more than three days.

Even with the god-king’s system, it was precisely because of this powerful system that they had to consume a lot more nutrition every day. Therefore, just like ordinary people, they would collapse after three days without water.

Ordinary people said that people would not live for more than three days without water, and they would not live for more than a week without food. After the water source problem that was originally stuck on everyone’s neck was solved, even if they did not do anything now, they would still be able to live for a month.

After a month, they would have food shortage situation, and after another week, they would completely collapse.

“This time, I’ve gathered everyone to discuss the food issue.”

Apollo directly explained the main point of this meeting, which was the food issue that everyone would face in a month’s time.

According to the aboriginal Simmons, the only food that could be eaten here was the white wheat that he had mentioned before.

However, they had never seen this thing ever since the Sky Dynasty came here, let alone trying to get it.

“Are you sure that the preserved bacons are all safe?”

Someone in the crowd asked this question.

After Sharena returned yesterday, two major events happened in the Sky Dynasty. One was the distillation machine, and the other was the food in the luggage that had poison.
