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

Territory is the area where animals get their food. Most animals, from squirrels to wolves, bears and eagles, are territorial and protect their territory through sounds, chemical signals, physical markings and other behaviors.

The territories of different types of animals may overlap. For example, in the eyes of humans, Area 3 of Mountain 49 belongs to the Azure Dragon Team; in the eyes of squirrels, it is divided into more than a dozen pieces, belonging to different squirrels; in the eyes of wolves, it belongs to the northern wolf pack... The same is true for Territory 3, which belongs to both the Sheep Boss and Xia Qing.

The territories of non-social animals of the same species have clear demarcation lines that can be accurately identified by the same animals. If they cross the line to obtain food and are caught by the lord, a fight will occur.

If animals of the same or different species that eat similar food set their sights on the same territory, who will own the territory will have to decide based on their fighting power. For example, if a wolf, leopard, fox, and lynx set their sights on the same territory, they will have to decide based on their strength.

If there is insufficient food in the core territory, animals will move into less-marked or unmarked marginal areas in search of food, which are called public hunting areas.

Hill No. 51 is a public hunting area for large predators. There are no large predators living or breeding here, so everyone can come here to hunt. But if an animal wants to occupy this area and prevent other animals from hunting, it will turn the public hunting area into its core territory.

Ok?
As long as it is strong enough, that's enough.

It won’t work if it’s not strong enough.

When many people enter the No. 51 Mountain Area and blow up, dig up and burn trees, herbivores and small carnivores will have no opinions but no strength and can only flee for their lives; large predatory animals will jump out and compete with humans for the ownership of this territory.

After the conflict between humans at Huisan Base and the western wolf pack, China's highest administrative body issued a national notice, once again emphasizing the important value and significance of harmonious coexistence between humans and evolved forest creatures, and requiring all bases to strictly abide by relevant regulations and never take the initiative to provoke, hunt or abuse large beasts, so as to avoid unnecessary conflicts and casualties.

Therefore, when humans want to make a big move on Mountain 51, they need to find out who the "boss" of that mountain area is.

“Although there are leopards in Hill Fifty-One, the dominant force is the northern wolf pack.”

Last year, Xia Qing led the team to take soil and cut thorn trees from Mount 51, but they only moved in the area near the human territory of Mount 51, and that area of ​​the mountain was ownerless. But in the past few days, she and Xin Yu went deep into Mount 51 to blow up trees, and found out who the owner of this area of ​​the mountain was. Because when they were blowing up the trees, only Broken Leg Wolf went to check the situation.

After giving the answer, Xia Qing made a promise, "Don't worry, Captain Tan, no evolved wolves will come over to stop humans from clearing the wild sycamore trees."

After Xia Qing returned to the territory, Su Ming whispered to Cao Xianyun, "Since Sister Qing can command the northern wolf pack, we are getting safer here. After the case of Territory No. 9 is over and the territory is vacant, we must find a way to get this territory!"

Command the northern wolf pack? Xia Qing shook her head. She didn't have that ability.

After patrolling the territory, Xia Qing returned home and found that the hen that had pneumonia and was kept in the cardboard box had died. No wonder her idol had to raise the chicken for a month before exchanging it with her last year. It was really not easy to raise a nest of chicks during the natural disaster years.

After burning the chicken carcasses and carefully disinfecting the chicken coop, Xia Qing disinfected the entire yard. When she walked to the east wall with a sprayer on her back, she was surprised to find that the green light jujube kernels that had been planted for nearly a month had finally sprouted.

Although only 39 buds grew out of 6 date pits, Xia Qing was still very happy.

When these seedlings grow up, her yard will have a row of trees that can eat insects, and her yard will become cleaner and more livable. When Liangzi from the Huzifeng team came over, Xia Qing told him to pay attention to the raptors hovering in the sky, and not to let the winged predators tear the insect net of the chicken coop and prey on her precious chickens. Then, Xia Qing left the territory and went to the northern wolf pack to discuss things.

Not long after entering Area 3 of Mountain 49, Xia Qing saw a little honey badger rushing towards her with a ruthless gait and a mouth full of bared teeth. It looked like it deserved a beating.

Now, there is one more lord in Area 3 of Mountain 49 - Honey Badger Flathead.

Xia Qing welcomed the flat-headed guy to stay, because his food was small animals such as snakes and mice; although the big sheep would rush out to fight with the flat-headed guy every day, he didn't really have much of an opinion, otherwise the flat-headed guy would have been beaten to death by him long ago; animals such as red squirrels and snakes had a lot of opinions about the flat-headed guy, but they were the prey of the honey badger and could only hide and endure.

Wild boar in the valley? The little flat-head ran into the valley and had a conflict with a wild boar, and was almost beaten to death. After Xia Qing rescued it, the little guy never went down the valley again.

Through this incident, Xia Qing judged that the little flat-headed sheep had a high IQ, because it could remember which animals it could not provoke and which areas it could not enter. It provoked Xia Qing and the sheep boss repeatedly because it knew that they would not do anything to it.

When the little guy rushed to him, Xia Qing, who had been prepared, jumped over its head and moved forward at full speed.

The prey ran away, and the little honey badger became furious and turned around to chase it.

"Sister Qing, what are you doing?" Chen Cheng in the monitoring room put down the dumbbells and stared at Xia Qing who was running quickly on the screen. The tabby cat Xiao Laowu who was sleeping on top of the filing cabinet also opened his eyes.

Xia Qing was very fast. In one or two seconds, she passed the surveillance area of ​​the camera and appeared on the next screen. Xiao Laowu's head followed Xia Qing's figure. After she disappeared, he yawned and continued to sleep.

A few minutes later, Chen Cheng made another discovery, "Isn't this the little honey badger that Sister Qing raised? Is it chasing Sister Qing?"

Peng Jian complained, "I was chased by it once in Area 49-3 yesterday. It's not fast but it has a keen sense of smell. I turned around several times before I got rid of it."

As the two were talking, a dark shadow flashed past them. Chen Cheng immediately chased after it, "Lao Wu, where are you going?"

"Where else can it go? It must have gone to fight with the little honey badger. It is no match for the honey badger." Peng Jian picked up the phone, "Boss, Xiao Laowu went to fight with Sister Qing's little honey badger."

Hu Zifeng, who was in the farmland of Territory No. 1, ran out immediately. "Where is it? Keep an eye on it first, I'll be there soon!"

Xia Qing did not notice the attacking Xiao Laowu. She ran from Hill 49 to a bigger peak than Hill 52 in one breath, made a trumpet shape with her hands and howled like a wolf.

"Ouch - ow -"

“Ah—woo—woo—” (End of this chapter)
