Chapter 9: Evolving Sheep
Bartering is the main way to circulate goods after the currency is invalidated. Tan Junjie didn't refuse this time, "What do you want to change?" ”
Xia Qing asked tentatively, "Do you have sweet potato seeds?" ”
Tan Junjie nodded, "Huzi, do the math." ”
"Yes."
The young team member named Huzi immediately took out the detector and weighed, and after testing and weighing the animals he caught, Lisuo gave points, "Five red light snakes weigh five catties and 100 points; An evolutionary red light snake weighs four catties and has 120 points; A yellow light snake is one and a half pounds, 75 points; Two medicinal evolutionary poisonous centipedes are six catties, 300 points, a total of 595 points. ”
The investigation team took a high-level detector, which was much easier to use than Xia Qing's ordinary detector. The advanced detector is also only the size of a palm, not only distinguishing between edible and non-usable organisms, but also displaying the content of harmful substances, and displaying safe food and optional food with green and yellow lights
Tan Chunjie asked Xia Qing, who was staring at the detector, "The sweet potatoes of the army are safe food, these points can be exchanged for two sweet potatoes or six sweet potato temples, which one do you choose?" ”
A safe sweet potato seedling with 100 points is expensive, but it is worth the price. Sweet potato seedlings Xia Qing has never operated, so he simply chose the way of insurance, "I choose sweet potato seedlings." Team Tan, if I hunt another animal, can I still ask you to exchange for sweet potato seedlings? ”
Tan Junjie nodded and warned: "Don't enter the area outside the isolation zone." ”
"Yes!" Xia Qing responded loudly, and he didn't pay attention at first glance.
"Captain, the lord of Land No. 4 has been notified and can enter." The team members who ran to inform the Lord of the Fourth Land ran back and reported to Tan Junjie.
After Tan Junjie led the team eastward into the No. 4 buffer forest, Xia Qing walked south along the narrow valley separating the two buffer forests, which is also the dividing line between the two lands.
After a while, she heard Su Ming ask in a low voice, "Captain, it's not easy for Xia Qing to farm alone, let's give her a few more sweet potato seedlings." ”
Tan Junjie asked rhetorically, "Exchange your points for it?" ”
Then, no sound can be heard.
Xia Qing smiled, walked out of the buffer forest along the valley, took off his protective mask, and went straight to the four acres of land he had just turned over.
With six more sweet potato seedlings, she has to turn over half an acre of land!
Six sweet potato seedlings don't take up much space, but after catching the sheep, there are more sweet potato seedlings in exchange. Even if she can't catch the sheep, after six sweet potato seedlings are planted and climb the vine alive, she can use sweet potato vine cuttings to have a sweet potato field.
The more Xia Qing thought about it, the more powerful he became, and he turned over an acre of land in one breath before he stopped and went home to eat. She didn't hear a loud noise from No. 4 in the field, indicating that the investigation team did not find sheep in the No. 4 buffer forest, and she still had hope.
After going home and having a simple lunch, Xia Qing was like a tireless spinning top to clean up the two deserted courtyards in the west.
The bones were buried in a digging pit, the grass was burned to make potassium fertilizer, everything that could be used was put in the warehouse to the east, and the construction waste was piled up.
In this way, she has two vegetable gardens close to her home.
After tidying up, Xia Qing went home and took a spring bath very luxuriously, washed and dried his clothes with filtered water, and then changed into protective clothing and went to the back mountain to get water.
Because the investigation team had auditory evolutionary people, Xia Qing was afraid that he would hear the sound of the spring, so he deliberately avoided the forest of the mountain spring.
She doesn't want anyone to know about the drinking springs in the interior of the territory, so she is very careful every time she takes water, hiding the drinking bucket in her backpack.
After arriving at the mountain, Xia Qing regretted that the stone slab was still blocking the entrance of the cave, and the sheep and weasel did not come to drink water again. Picking up the water and going home, Xia Qing listened to the radio at seven o'clock in the evening while cooking.
The broadcast at seven o'clock was as usual, first relaying the exciting news from all over China, and then the news and announcements of the Huisan base, Xia Qing listened carefully.
The announcement mentioned that the temperature will rise by eight degrees in the next three days, and then the first heavy rainfall of the year will be ushered in, which is suitable for planting spring wheat.
Her land is turned early.
Xia Qing, who was already lying on the bed, smiled indifferently, and decided to turn over another piece of land to plant wheat after the rain, and the land that had been turned over would not be wasted, and it would be planted sooner or later.
Xia Qing was planning to take advantage of the three days before the rain to explore the Evolution Forest in the north of No. 3 Land.
It was last winter that the Huisan base pushed the isolation zone outside the safety zone 70 kilometers outward, and no one has entered the evolutionary forest outside this range after the natural disaster.
The evolutionary forest that humans have not set foot in is full of danger and temptation, and Xia Qing is now short of food, and he can't resist the temptation.
The buffer forests and villages in her territory have been searched by humans, all the animals have been exterminated, and the plants have been screened and inspected, so there is no possibility of any more surprising harvests.
Just do it.
The next morning, Xia Qing took all the equipment and walked through the buffer forest and the isolation zone into the dense evolutionary forest.
After the natural disaster, the temperature difference between the four seasons of Blue Star has widened by at least 15 degrees, but the cold tolerance of the evolved plants has also improved, and it has become green everywhere in mid-February. However, most of the animals still maintain their original habits and lie dormant in winter. When the temperature rises and the rain is sufficient, it comes out to move and reproduce.
These three days are much safer than the following.
But Xia Qing still had his sense of sight and hearing fully open, and carefully explored inward with his machete.
She discovered that this evolutionary forest was also the range of human activities before the natural disaster. Because there are terraces on the hillside, there are collapsed houses on the top of the flat and open hill.
In such areas, the probability of finding edible plants is higher than in wild forests that have not been cultivated by humans. Eighty percent of the safe food found by the expedition team was found in such areas.
An hour and a half later, Xia Qing had a harvest.
She found a few small finger-tall green shoots that had been detected with green lights. Xia Qing's eyes lit up after carefully pulling out the soil around the buds.
Ginger!
A piece of sprouted ginger!
Take it away!
Because evolutionary plants may be volatile when they leave their original growth environment, Xia Qing dug up a piece of soil along with the soil where ginger grew and wrapped it and put it in a back basket to ensure that it does not change its growth environment as much as possible.
After climbing three more terraces, catching two snakes, scaring away a swarm of rats and squirrels, and crushing to death the insects that bite her, Xia Qing finally has a second harvest.
A clump of garlic sprouts showing a green light.
Onions, ginger and garlic are essential for cooking, and now there is only one missing. But in the next hour, Xia Qing searched the collapsed yard from the terraces, and found not a single green onion seedling.
Could it be that the green onion has not sprouted yet?
Xia Qing continued to explore, and found a tall toon tree outside the collapsed courtyard wall, and it was preliminarily determined to be an edible plant.
Because the buds on the toon seedlings that emerged around the toon tree were gnawed by some animal.
After Xia Qing carefully inspected the snakes and insects that were not hidden in the tree, he climbed up and picked a cluster of crimson toon buds, squeezed the juice into the detector port, and after more than ten seconds, it turned on a green light.
Such a big toon tree that can be eaten!
It's a pleasant surprise. Xia Qing smiled brightly, it had only been five days since she entered the territory, and she had laughed more times than in the past six months.
She had just picked a few clusters of toon buds when she heard the sound of large animals moving thirty meters away.
It was too late to escape, Xia Qing leaned back against the trunk of the tree and observed with bated breath.
The sound turned out to be closer, and a dirty white-haired fat sheep came out of the green grass.
This sheep is very large and is supposed to be an evolutionary sheep. Xia Qing looked at its hooves, and was sure that this was the guy who went to his territory to pick up stones and drink spring water.
So, the sheep she didn't wait for in the cave ran under the tree to find her?
Xia Qing clenched his machete and prepared to attack (sneak attack).
Mianyang, who came out, raised his head and looked accurately at Xia Qing hiding in the tree, his sheep eyes narrowed slightly.
Xia Qing actually saw a bright contempt in the eyes of a sheep.
Nima!
Could it be that this sheep is the rarest brain domain evolver among evolutionary creatures?
