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

After the thorn-proof wall was built, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief and gave each other a few words of advice. The lords who did not participate in the cleanup task took the hired workers who came to help back to their own territories, and those who needed to be on duty stayed on duty, and those who needed to rest rested.

Xia Qing, Shi Du and Yu Shou were all tasked with clearing out the aggressive locust trees. The three of them were the main force in cutting down the aggressive locust trees.

Huo Lei and Qi Fu also stayed and guarded the stab-proof wall with Zhao Ze, repairing it in time if any problems arose. Of course, Tang Huai, who loved to join in the fun, also stayed.

The aggressive and evolving plants grow extremely fast during the rainy season. The Robinia pseudoacacia is covered with dense thorns, and the locust bean pods between the branches and leaves have grown to the length of fingers. It is estimated that they will mature and fall off in a few hours, so the removal work must be done in a hurry.

After confirming that everyone was out of the attack range of the acacia tree, Tan Junjie immediately ordered, "Yuan Rui, shoot, and the rest of the people, take cover."

"Got it." Yuan Rui aimed at the locust tree trunk which was more than 20 centimeters thick and fired a bullet.

The bullet penetrated the bark and bast layer of the locust tree and was nailed to the wooden pole of the locust tree. The locust tree, which was more than 20 meters tall, trembled, and then countless sharp thorns more than 20 centimeters long grew on the tree and shot out in all directions, making people's scalps numb.

"Puff! Puff!..." One by one, tree thorns shot towards the thorn-proof wall more than five meters high and 180 meters away.

When the sharp tip of the tree thorn instantly penetrated three layers of rainproof cloth, Zhao Ze, who was wearing a third-level field protective suit and holding a shield, felt cold in his heart: It's over, it's all over...

Qi Fu patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay, I blocked it."

The top of the thorn was indeed very sharp, but the tail was very thick. After penetrating three layers of rainproof cloth, only three to five centimeters of the thorn tip was exposed, and it failed to penetrate the thorn-proof wall in its entirety.

When Zhao Ze opened his eyes and saw this scene, tears immediately fell.

No matter which direction the thorns flew, they eventually fell to the ground and pierced into the soil. The roots of the attacking Robinia pseudoacacia in the shallow soil were broken by its own thorns, triggering the attack mode again, and another wave of thorns left the body and launched an attack.

Based on the depth of the bullet into the tree trunk, Xia Qing reported to Tan Junjie, "The hardness has evolved to a medium level. Shi Du, Yu Shou and I can cut the tree down within three minutes."

"Got it." Tan Junjie ordered Yuan Rui to fire the second bullet, and the locust tree attacked again. This time, the number of thorns shot out was obviously less than last time, but the new thorns were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. As long as the tree was not cut off, the attack would not stop.

"The tree-cutting team moves forward, please be careful and take precautions."

"Got it." Xia Qing stood up, opened her iron umbrella, held her shield and rushed towards the tree thorns. The tree thorns hit her shield and iron umbrella, making a sharp and piercing collision sound, and Xia Qing's ears were buzzing.

After reaching the tree, Xia Qing threw away his shield and swung his knife. The tree was attacked and shot out thorns even more violently.

"Ah!" Seeing a tree thorn heading straight for Xia Qing's arm that was exposed outside the iron umbrella, Tang Huai couldn't help but exclaimed, "Xia..."

Before he could finish shouting, he saw the thorn that had pierced Xia Qing's arm rolling to the ground. Tang Huai changed his words, "Damn, it's worthy of being a special protective suit, awesome!"

At this time, Shi Du and Yu Shou rushed under the tree under the protection of their respective teams' inspection team members' shields. The inspection team members held up their shields to block the tree thorns, and they and Xia Qing chopped down the tree together.

Huo Lei used a telescope to see how deep Xia Qing's cuts were, and breathed a sigh of relief. "It's stable. We'll definitely be able to take him down in three minutes."

Zhao Ze, who was shocked by the scene, gave Huo Lei a thumbs up and said, "Uncle Huo's skills are great, and Sister Qing's black knife is really useful."

Tang Huai immediately followed up, "Of course, Uncle Huo made me the same black knife, which is also very useful."

Huo Lei laughed happily, "It's mainly because Xia Qing is so powerful. Her sword weighs 25 kilograms. Only a power evolver of Xia Qing's level can bring out the power of the sword."

"25 kilograms?! The machete that Uncle Huo just made for me weighs only 3 kilograms." Zhao Ze exclaimed.

Tang Huai shut his mouth because he felt very tired using the 4.5-pound black long sword that Huo Lei made for him.

Qi Fu, who was also a power evolver, was jealous. "Uncle Huo, after you finish this rain, can you make me a set of swords?"

Zhao Ze also hurried to catch up, "Uncle Huo, I want one too." Huo Lei is only 48 years old this year, only nine years older than Zhao Ze and 13 years older than Qi Fu, but he has superb skills in making cold weapons and farm tools, so everyone followed Xia Qing and respected him as "Uncle".

Huo Lei nodded, "Okay, but I don't have any new material ore here. If you want to make something with the same material as Xia Qing, you have to find the ore yourself."

These two people are not Tang Huai, and they don't have the same obsession as Xia Qing. "I'm not picky about the material, as long as it's sharp and easy to use."

Qi Fu asked again, "Uncle Huo, can you use the iron umbrella that Xia Qing wears? I want to order two."

The iron umbrella on the head makes one feel very safe.

"Okay, that's easy."

Tang Huai immediately followed, "I want three iron umbrellas."

He, his brother, and his sister each held one.

Tan Junjie's shout interrupted the conversation between the three people, "The acacia tree is about to be cut down, the third team is ready."

Huo Lei, Qi Fu, Zhao Ze and others from the third group immediately picked up shovels, and after Xia Qing, Shi Du and Yu Shou pushed the tree down and dragged it away from the root area, they rushed forward to dig the soil and dig out the roots.

"The third team..."

Before Tan Junjie could issue an order, the inexperienced Tang Huai, who was participating in the mission for the first time, rushed out with a shovel. Huo Lei grabbed him by the back of the neck and cursed, "Can't you see that the tree thorns are still shooting out? Are you fucking going to die?"

"Everyone, pay attention. You can only set off after receiving orders. You cannot act on your own." Captain Tan was also shocked when he saw Tang Huai rushing out, and he yelled.

Tang Huai stared with his eyes wide open, breaking out in a cold sweat.

When the fallen tree stopped spraying thorns, Tan Junjie gave the order, "Team Three, start moving."

Only then did Huo Lei let go of Tang Huai and rushed over with Zhao Ze and others, holding shovels.

The work is easier with more people, and everyone quickly dug out the main roots of the big trees, completing the task of clearing the locust trees.

As Zhao Ze thanked them profusely, the task force returned to their respective positions. Xia Qing drove her off-road vehicle to patrol Territory No. 9 and eliminate the danger.

Zhao Ze made an announcement in the Lord Channel, "The aggressive acacia trees in Territory No. 4 have been cleared. Thank you all for your help. The anti-thorn wall has blocked the tree thorns, and my mung bean shed has been saved."

Kuang Qingwei replied, "It's good once it's cleared. It's not raining now, so let's take advantage of this time to get some sleep."

Yue Haiying instructed, "We must arrange night patrols to clear risks in the territory in a timely manner."

Huo Lei, who followed Tang Huai into the No. 2 territory, sighed, "It's much harder to spend the rainy season in the territory than in the safe zone. I haven't been so tired and nervous in several years."

Tang Huai reminded, "Uncle Huo, the safe zone has been bombed and killed this time. Life is even more tense than here. Preliminary statistics show that more than 2,300 people have died, and there are thousands of injured. I don't know if they can hold out."

Hearing this heavy number, Huo Lei's steps became heavy. "I can't get through on the phone. I don't know if my shop was blown up."

Fortunately, before the rain, he called several apprentices in the store to come to the territory to help, so even if the store was blown up, the people were still there.

Tang Huai knew that Huo Lei's iron shop was in the West Outer City, so he could only comfort him, "I heard that the worst one is in the North Outer City, and the West Outer City should be okay."

"I hope everything is fine. I'm leaving now." Huo Lei left from the south gate of Territory No. 2 and walked through the passage into his Territory No. 11. (End of this chapter)
