On the tenth year of the natural disaster, I went to farm with me

Chapter 1110 Harvesting Chestnuts

"Captain Yang, are you awake?"

The next morning, when Xia Qing was patrolling the territory, he saw Yang Jin walking out of a small hut beside the farmland in a fresh outfit, and took the initiative to greet him.

Although Xia Qing had no expression on her face and her tone of voice did not change significantly, Yang Jin heard the meaning of this sentence clearly, "Wake up, I disturbed Sister Qing last night. What can I do to make up for last night's accommodation fee?"

Xia Qing hired someone to help build the lab, paying him according to the public price of the Northern District 1, excluding board and lodging. Yang Jin came to help, and Xia Qing paid him according to the price of hiring a member of Hu Zifeng's team, but of course, board and lodging were also not included.

The laboratory was completed yesterday evening, and the employment relationship ended. Yang Jin stayed overnight in Territory No. 3 because he was "drunk", so of course he had to pay for the accommodation.

He was so tactful that Xia Qing didn't have to worry about it. "There is indeed something. Captain Yang, come with me to the chestnut forest and move some bags of chestnuts?"

"Okay." Yang Jin agreed readily, "I'll ask Er Yong to come over and guard the territory?"

"No, we can use the intercom in the chestnut forest area. It takes less than an hour to go back and forth. The eldest and the second can keep an eye on the territory."

Yang Jin glanced at the evolved wolfhound holding a small basket and catching insects in the distance, and the little monkey behind it also holding a basket, and nodded with a smile.

Those who doubted whether there were polluted springs or other high-value materials in this territory had their doubts reaffirmed when they saw how weak the guarding force of Territory No. 3 was.

Xia Qing's action was bold and adventurous enough, and she protected the spring very well, which made Yang Jin speculate that she had another high-quality water source in her hands, which was either in the hidden valley of Mountain No. 50 or in the core territory of the northern wolf pack.

Or, both.

After entering the third area of ​​Mountain 16, Yang Jin told Xia Qing the latest news he received last night, "Huiyi confirmed that the spring of Liehuo Mountain has been completely damaged and cannot be repaired. The content of the Yi element in the spring water has dropped to one point, and the Kang element has increased to points."

The content of the element of 戕 is 16‰, and the content of the element of 益 is 1. The water quality is almost the same as that of the hidden valley of No. Mountain. After filtering, this water quality is still high-quality drinking water, but due to the lack of 益, its role in medical treatment and breeding is greatly reduced, and it can no longer be called a pollution-free water source.

Xia Qing asked, "What is Liehuo's plan?"

Yang Jin certainly knew what Xia Qing was worried about. "Liehuo has brought out a lot of high-quality materials and patents, and is negotiating with Huiyi officials to buy the right to use one-third of the water output of a spring in Huiyi. Liao Wendong and Qu Fangzhou of Liehuo are contacting two bases in Lancheng, hoping to purchase spring water from Lancheng to meet Liehuo's water needs for producing medicines and cultivating high-quality crops."

Lancheng has the most high-quality water sources in China, and is also the most likely to sell large quantities of pollution-free spring water to Liehuo over a long period of time.

Xia Qing felt relieved when she heard that Liehuo had no intentions against her.

After feeding a piece of dried meat to the bald robber, Xia Qing ran to the steep slope above the chestnut forest and avoided the bald robber's pursuit. Then, he continued to ask, "Where was Qu Fangzhou hiding at that time?"

"She is in Liehuo Mountain. She is indeed an intelligence specialist. Her hiding skills are top-notch." When Liehuo and Mieshi fought, Qinglong, who had been taking advantage of the situation, identified three targets: Shan Ying, Zhou Jin and Qu Fangzhou. The first two were successfully killed by Qinglong, but the third one was never found, which made Yang Jin suspect that she was not in Huiyi Base.

Unexpectedly, she was hiding in the Fiery Fire Mountain. If Shan Ying is the scalpel held by the Fire Phoenix, then Qu Fangzhou is the eyes and ears of the Fire Phoenix. It is easy to change the scalpel, but it is difficult to change the eyes and ears. Failure to take the opportunity to kill Qu Fangzhou, in Yang Jin's view, his goal of planning and attacking this time was only half achieved.

"She may have some special means or evolutionary abilities." Xia Qing pointed downwards and told Yang Jin his mission for this trip. "After I bring up the two bags of chestnuts tied to the fence, you just need to bring up the bag of chestnuts that rolled to the thorn fence. An evolved giant bee has appeared in the chestnut forest. It has strong attack power. If you are not fast enough, your protective suit will be contaminated with its pheromones and you will be chased to Territory No. 3 by the swarm of bees."

The inverted black bag rolled out of the range of the mechanical arm, so it could not be grabbed by the mechanical arm and hung on the rope, so people had to be sent down to carry it up. This job was most suitable for top-level speed evolvers.

Yang Jin asked, "The giant bee can't be killed?"

With Xia Qing's marksmanship, shooting the giant bee is a piece of cake.

Of course not, that is Third Brother’s treasure. “These hornets have a symbiotic relationship with the chestnut forest. Killing the giant bees will affect the ecology of the chestnut forest.”

"Okay." After spraying the insect repellent prepared by Zhang San, Yang Jin entered the valley and lurked at the safe distance that Xia Qing told him. He watched Xia Qing grab the rope and slowly lift two large bags of chestnuts up the slope.

The evolved wasps in the chestnut forest have low IQs and rely mainly on their highly sensitive sense of smell to identify foreign organisms that enter their territory.

It was indeed a good idea to use a robotic arm without any biological smell to pick chestnut thorn balls without alerting or attacking the bee colony. However, the three robotic arms were obviously precision instruments. Was Zhang San exchanging such expensive machinery with Xia Qing to pick chestnuts just because he was greedy, or because these evolved giant bees and the chestnut forest had great research value?
Also, who is operating the robotic arm to harvest the chestnuts?
Since Xia Qing didn't mention these things, Yang Jin tactfully didn't ask.

After Xia Qing slowly lifted up the two bags of chestnuts and carried them out of the danger zone, Yang Jin rushed over at the fastest speed, carried the target packaging bag, and fled the chestnut forest before the hornets caused a commotion. When the giant hornets were startled and rushed out of the nest, the swarm had lost its target and patrolled the surrounding area of ​​the chestnut forest in anger.

When Yang Jin caught up with the chestnuts, Xia Qing, who was carrying a bag of chestnuts on his back and in his hand, was about to take them, he said, "We made some unexpected discoveries when we went to Liehuo this time."

Yang Jin pretended not to notice Xia Qing's intention, and carried the bag back to Territory No. 3 before continuing, "We found a photo of Qu Fangzhou and a little girl about four years old in her bedroom. Xie Yu had seen that little girl in the underground laboratory. She was one of the experimental subjects and died due to experimental failure before the underground experiment was exposed."

Therefore, the reasons why Qu Fangzhou and Liao Wendong joined Liehuoshan were the same - they all had relatives who died in underground experiments, and they had a common enemy with Fire Phoenix.

Xia Qing calmly analyzed, "Could it be that Qu Fangzhou left this photo intentionally?"

As an intelligence collection and analysis expert, Qu Fangzhou should not have left such important information indoors.

"It's very likely. We can't determine her purpose for leaving this photo yet." Yang Jin put down the bag and handed Xia Qing a USB flash drive. "I found the illustrated information of the new minerals after the natural disaster. If you plan to sell the ore, feel free to contact me. The handling fee is only 10%."

Dagua brought back two bags of ore from the Sage's territory for Xia Qing. Apart from rhodonite, Xia Qing didn't know the types and values ​​of other ores, so she asked Yang Jin to help her search for knowledge in this area.

Last year, Xia Qing made a deal with Yang Jin, exchanging 70 kilograms of green light walnuts for the sharable information Yang Jin had. This mineral information was not accessible to Xia Qing, but it was not difficult for Yang Jin to find it. Xia Qing asked him to collect the information, and he did not need to pay any additional fees.
