Chapter 393: Open the Way
After Yu Shou left, Zhao Ze continued to drive the micro-cultivator forward, Qi Fu followed behind the car to clean the road, and Xia Qing was responsible for guarding the task alone.
"Miss Xia, can you hear me?" Five minutes later, Yu Shou, who had negotiated with the seventeenth territory in the past, called Xia Qing through the walkie-talkie.
"Yes."
Yu Shou reported the situation, "Lord No. 17 Wen Nengjie led thirteen people in his territory to cut thorn wood with chainsaws, saws and axes. In addition to the timber, they also have to collect the yellow clay from the area where they have been cut. ”
Wen Chengjie came to the Thornwood Forest yesterday to investigate, and brought so many people here before six o'clock this morning, and the intention of enclosing land and grabbing resources has been put on the surface.
Since the two sides did not go to war after Yu Shou passed, it shows that there is room for negotiation. Xia Qing asked, "How much area do they need to cut and excavate?" ”
"More than 50 evolutionary thorn trees, more than 300 square meters, a total of more than 300 square meters of yellow clay. The construction truck they rented arrived four days later, and now they are coming in early to clear the site. Lord Seventeen agreed that before they could take the soil, our tillers and transporters would pass through the area they had cleared. ”
The area selected by Wen Nengjie happened to be on the passage where Xia Qing and the others were going to take soil, and if they detoured, they would have to clean more than 500 meters, and they only needed to clear more than 50 meters further through the area they had demarcated.
It was a bonus.
Xia Qing asked Yu Shou to return to the team, and the four of them continued to drive the micro-tiller forward to repair the road.
Twenty minutes later, the road repair team arrived at the edge of the area cleared by Wen Nengjie and others, and the two groups of people met.
There are no monitoring and enforcement teams in the Evolution Forest, and it is more dangerous to encounter a strange team here than to encounter an evolved animal.
The people in the seventeenth territory were fully armed, some were looking at the micro-cultivator, and some were looking at Xia Qing who was standing on the roof of the car, and Xia Qing also took a quick look at the group of people who were cutting down trees.
There were fourteen of them, four homemade earthen guns, four chainsaws, each of them had sharp knives and axes, and depending on the model of the tool, even if there were strength evolutionaries among them, they did not exceed the third level.
The position of these people is the posture of the group fight with people in the safety zone. Standing in the center C position is a middle-aged man of more than 1.6 meters, his figure is wide, looking at the shape of the side pocket of the protective suit on his waist, it should be a small pistol inside.
This person with a pistol should be the seventeenth lord nicknamed Dead Man, Wen Nengjie.
"Miss Xia, the one who came over in an earthy yellow camouflage uniform is the seventeenth lord Wen Nengjie." Yu Shou whispered through the walkie-talkie, put away his weapon and greeted him, raising his voice to greet him, "Brother Jie." ”
If you want to borrow the way, you must have the appearance of borrowing the way.
Xia Qing jumped off the protective shield more than two meters high, landed steadily, raised his hand to hang the sniper pistol on the buckle of his belt, and followed Yu Shou towards Wen Nengjie with a calm face.
The people in the seventeenth territory just saw that there were only four people in this team, actually driving a micro-cultivator, and there was a woman standing on the roof of the car equipped with sophisticated weapons and wearing a third-level protective suit in the field, not only her eyes were hot, but her heart was also itchy, but when she saw Xia Qing jump off the roof of the car with her gun and walk in front of them, these people immediately became honest.
Why?
This woman's action of jumping out of the car is very neat, and at first glance, she is a practicing family and a ruthless character. If they rob the materials of such people, not only will they not be able to make a fortune, but they will also have to leave their lives in this evolutionary forest.
Of course, the seventeenth lord Wen Nengjie also saw Xia Qing's equipment and movements, and quickly stepped up to meet him, introducing himself, "Lao Yu, this is the third lord, Miss Xia Qing, right?" I've admired Miss Xia's name for a long time, and I finally have a chance to meet it today. I'm Lord Seventeen, Wen Nengjie. ”
"Brother Jie is too polite, just call me Xia Qing, thank you for letting us borrow the road." Xia Qing stopped when he was still three meters away from Wen Nengjie, nodded slightly and thanked him.
Before natural disasters, the safe distance for strangers to meet and ask for directions was about 1.5 meters. After the natural disaster, humans have evolved, and the distance between strangers to greet each other for the first time has been stretched to more than three meters, and any closer will make both parties feel uneasy and threatened.
Although when communicating with animals in the territory, Xia Qing was already able to smile naturally. But when she left the territory and entered the Evolution Forest, she couldn't talk and laugh in the face of strangers, and her face was still expressionless.
Of course, Wen Chengjie would not be unhappy because Xia Qing had a straight face, on the contrary, he felt that Xia Qing's attitude was much better than he expected. He had already inquired and knew that Lord No. 3 was a ruthless character who was violent and withdrawn, and did not like to deal with people.
After moving into the territory, he climbed up to Hu Zifeng, the captain of the Qinglong team, and his life was quite good.
Wen Nengjie can't afford to provoke such a person.
When people meet so politely, they just give him face, of course he wants to continue.
Wen Chengjie stepped forward with a smile on his face, "We are farming in the same place, and we should help each other to fight against natural disasters." I heard Lao Yu say, you want to go to the river slope in front of you to get soil? I turned around there yesterday, and the yellow clay over there isn't as good as here, so you might as well dig from here. ”
No one will take kind words seriously, Xia Qing looked at the soil under his feet, "The soil in this place is indeed better than the river slope, but we have six territories, and we have to take nearly three thousand square meters of soil, and the rental time is only two days, so it is more appropriate to dig from the river slope." ”
Hearing that they were six territories acting together, Wen Nengjie didn't show anything on the surface, but he already had an idea in his heart, and his attitude became more attentive, "There is still a way from here to the side of the river, I will take someone to help you clear it out first, and then continue to cut down trees." ”
Xia Qing took Qi Fu and Zhao Ze, who had no combat experience, of course they would not team up with strangers who met for the first time, "Don't dare to delay Brother Jie's kung fu, we still have enough time, if we are really busy, I will ask you for help." ”
Wen Nengjie stopped at the point, asked the people in the territory to get out of the way, and continued to cut down trees and clear the roots.
Xia Qing discussed with Yu Shou, "You can't use a micro-tiller to push it directly, I'll open the way." The rain cover can block their weapon attacks, and Brother Yu is only responsible for protecting Brother Qi's safety. ”
"Understood."
Xia Qing is the captain of this mission, how she arranges, Yu Shou will do it. This is the obedience consciousness that has long been melted into his blood after serving in the army for many years.
After confirming with Wen Nengjie the area he was going to cut down and take soil, the tiller advanced more than 40 meters along the edge area he had cleared.
In front of it is a dense evolutionary forest, with thorn trees, shrubs, and wild grasses that are very dense, and there are still more than 50 meters away from the location of the river slope where the soil is taken, and the passage needs to be opened as soon as possible.
Xia Qing chose the direction of progress and ordered on the walkie-talkie, "Brother Qi and Brother Yu unload the bulldozer shovel of the micro-tiller and install the weeding wheels in the body. I opened the road in front of me to clear the large bushes, Brother Qi cleaned up the big stones so that the blades would not collapse, and Brother Zhao used a micro-tiller to mow the grass. The three thorn trees that stood in the way were to be removed later with chainsaws and digging shovels. ”
"Yes."
After receiving the replies from the three of them, Xia Qingyi raised his hand and pulled out the long black knife on his back and walked towards the bushes.
Her action surprised everyone. (End of chapter)
