The poor little girl picked up by the sweet girl turned out to be a cruel and vicious beauty

This time, working in the cotton forest requires staying in the wilderness for three days, during which time there may be a chance to obtain energy stones. Ye Sheng hopes that his luck value can be maxed out, so that he can find even one energy stone.

"Thank you for your hard work, Ye Sheng. I will wait for you to come back."

When Ye Sheng was thinking about these things, she suddenly heard what the poor little girl said. She was stunned, and then she looked over blankly, and saw that the poor little girl's pretty face was no longer expressionless, but a bit worried.

Those red eyes seemed like sparkling gems, which gradually calmed Ye Sheng's originally anxious heart.

It seems that the poor girl chose to forget the accident just now. It's good that way, so that they don't have to be awkward with each other later...Ye Sheng raised his hand and touched his nose, and said "hmm" in a cheerful tone.

They are still friends who depend on each other.

(* ^ ▽ ^ *)

Just like that, the unexpected situation that troubled Ye Sheng was resolved. The next day, he packed up everything and left with peace of mind.

Fortunately, there is a magical tool called nutrient solution that can fill your stomach!

Don't worry about being hungry.

"Hey, Shengsheng, we can finally work together."

Sitting in the base truck on the way to the cotton forest, Zhou Lin approached Ye Sheng cheerfully. The Zhou family members sitting on the other side were happy to see this happen. The eldest brother of the Zhou family, who had met Ye Sheng once before, even said hello to him.

Ye Sheng didn't know much about the Zhou family, nor did she want to make close friends with them. It was enough for her to just be on good terms with Zhou Lin.

Seeing Zhou Lin so happy at this time, Ye Sheng raised the corner of his mouth. He had to say that it was quite nice to have someone familiar accompany him when he went to a strange place.

It can give you more courage and a greater sense of security.

"Last time we signed up for the spring harvest event together, but we ended up not being assigned to the same area at the plantation. This time, Shengsheng, you stay with me, and we'll pick cotton together. I heard that if you pick more cotton, you'll get a bonus!"

Zhou Lin never rested her mouth, she kept chattering while sitting beside Ye Sheng.

Ye Sheng was not annoyed by this, but was willing to listen.

She didn't know much about the wasteland world, and every time she chatted with Zhou Lin, she could get a lot of useful information.

Sometimes, Zhou Lin can also answer questions, such as now...

"I've heard that there are blood-sucking aphids in cotton forests. What kind of polluting organisms are they?"

"Shengsheng, don't you know about blood-sucking aphids?"

Hearing Ye Sheng's question, Zhou Lin looked over in surprise, with a look of "don't be kidding", which made Ye Sheng helplessly raise his hand and rub his forehead, thinking that he really didn't know.

Although she could use the forum of the Super Smart Watch to search, the remaining time was running out. Good steel should be used on the blade, so she had to use it sparingly!

After all, even though she knew that blood-sucking aphids were extremely vicious, she would not give up the opportunity to work in the cotton forest.

If you really need to go, you can ask other people.

Now on the way to the destination, Ye Sheng was bored, so he took the opportunity to ask, but who knew that he would expose his 'ignorance'.

(ー_ー)

"Oh, I forgot. Your parents didn't tell you this before. It's normal that you don't know."

However, before Ye Sheng could find a good excuse, Zhou Lin had already raised his hands and clapped his hands, suddenly realizing what was going on.

Ye Sheng followed up with a nod: |'⑧⑤⑦⌒ˇ⑥￡、⑥③∏$④④②, and intentionally changed the subject to divert attention: "So, what exactly are blood-sucking aphids like?"

"Blood-sucking aphids and cotton forests have a symbiotic relationship. When those greedy polluting creatures gnaw on cotton bolls, blood-sucking aphids will take the initiative to attack, bite their prey and suck blood crazily until they are full. However, because the saliva of aphids has paralytic properties, being bitten by them will cause paralysis and inability to move."

"When it was finally almost recovered, the blood-sucking aphids called on their companions to rush forward..."

When Zhou Lin talked about blood-sucking aphids, her expression was complicated. She wanted cotton very much, but she didn't want to deal with blood-sucking aphids!

Unfortunately, as she said, the symbiotic relationship between the two cannot be avoided.

"Cotton forests attract prey for blood-sucking aphids. The feces of blood-sucking aphids are rich in nutrients, and they often gather at the roots of trees to fertilize... Therefore, in a lush cotton forest, there must be a lot of blood-sucking aphids."

As for more specific information about the blood-sucking aphids, Zhou Lin didn't know.

When we reach the cotton forest, we can observe closely...

While Ye Sheng was chatting with Zhou Lin, his eyes swept across the four-wheeled vehicle following behind the truck. The mercenary sitting inside was wearing a blue-gray regimental uniform with a wolf head badge on his chest.

This time it's a strange mercenary group!

......

Although he knew that the cotton forest was far from the safe zone, he finally arrived after walking for nearly a day, which made Ye Sheng feel relieved. Fortunately, he didn't travel at night!

Even with the escort of the mercenary group, the wilderness at night is very terrifying.

It's best not to risk your life trying.

When they reached the outskirts of the cotton forest, as soon as they got off the carriage, they were led by the steward to a tent set up nearby to sleep. It was similar to a large bunk bed, and the large tent could accommodate 80 people.

Even though men and women sleep separately, after taking off their shoes, the smell of stinky feet made Ye Sheng's head hurt, and he closed his eyes in pain.

When you are out, be patient!

Even Zhou Lin was so choked up that she put on a mask of pain. The two looked at each other and could only take out something to fight the stench and plug their noses before closing their eyes to rest.

After sitting in the car for a whole day, my body is shaken to pieces and I feel even more tired.

When Ye Sheng opened his eyes again, it was already bright. The steward he had seen yesterday was shouting with a loud speaker: "Get up quickly, it's time to pick cotton, get up quickly, it's time to pick cotton..."

The people in the tent quickly got up, washed themselves, and immediately lined up to follow the small managers to various places in the cotton forest.

Ye Sheng looked up at the endless cotton forest, and all he saw was large expanses of white.

It was like clouds falling from the sky and hanging on the treetops.

Ye Sheng looked at the trees curiously. Zhou Lin beside him looked left and right. Suddenly, he saw something. His eyes lit up. He immediately raised his hand and pulled Ye Sheng's sleeve, pointing to a cotton tree in front.

"Shengsheng, look! That's the blood-sucking aphid!"

Chapter 68 I'm Not Worthy

If Zhou Lin hadn't pointed out the blood-sucking aphids, Ye Sheng felt that he wouldn't have been able to see them at all.

The reason was simple: a blood-sucking aphid about the size of a child's fist, with a maggot-like appearance and fine hairs, and a snow-white body, the same color as the cotton on the tree. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all!

Even Ye Sheng looked carefully again and again before he saw something moving...

Good guy.

The chameleon of the insect world!

"Shengsheng, this is the first time I've seen a blood-sucking aphid. It looks plump and not that scary! It's quite cute. I'll catch one and raise it when I get back."

The steward was not strict, so the team was loose, and Zhou Lin stood beside Ye Sheng, talking in a low voice.

There were many people who looked down on blood-sucking aphids like Zhou Lin. Ye Sheng saw a tall, thin man approaching a cotton tree with a smile on his face. He then arrogantly stretched out his hand to flick the blood-sucking aphids, trying to knock them off the tree.

However, the next second, the slowly crawling blood-sucking aphid suddenly opened its mouth, revealing rows of sharp teeth.

The blood-sucking aphid's mouth suddenly opened very wide, and it can easily swallow something larger than its body!

The tall and thin man was so frightened that he trembled and hurriedly withdrew his hand.

The blood-sucking aphids made a 'crackling' sound when they bit the cotton ball, and their soft bodies continued to hide in the cotton, making everyone who saw this scene fall into silence.

(ー_ー)

How cruel!

Ye Sheng turned his head to look at Zhou Lin who was also terrified, raised his eyebrows, and then asked mischievously: "Is it really cute? Take it home and raise it?"

"No, no, no, I don't deserve it."

When Zhou Lin heard this, he quickly shook his head.

These blood-sucking aphids are terrifying!

"Be careful. If you get bitten by a blood-sucking aphid, you will lose at least a large bowl of blood. You can't do any work and can only stand by and stare. You won't get any points."

The tall, thin man made quite a noise, and the steward leading the way turned around.

She immediately said it in a cold tone, which made the tall and thin man immediately behave himself.

After that, the team did not cause any more trouble, and a group of 200 people finally arrived at the work area and were separated from other teams.

This cotton forest covers a large area, and there are also many workers sent by the base. If they are spread out, they can pick a lot of cotton in three days.

How many more days to pick?

no!

We have been staying in the wilderness for the past three days. The smell of humans can easily attract polluting creatures, so we have been spraying powder to cover up the traces. This has put the base and the mercenary group at great risk. Three days is the limit.

"Okay, you can pick cotton from this cotton forest at will. Remember to wear special gloves to prevent blood-sucking aphids from attacking you. If you encounter blood-sucking aphids that chase and bite you, you can use a medicine pot to spray them and they will be scared away! Remember, you cannot set fire to the insects, as it can easily ignite the cotton and cause a fire!"

As the steward spoke, he distributed gloves and spray bottles to ensure that everyone had one.

After repeating the warning to be careful of blood-sucking aphids, he waved his hand and asked everyone to start picking the cotton from the trees.

Picking cotton is actually quite difficult.

Even though the cotton tree looks like a large ball and you can just pull the cotton off, it is actually made up of individual cotton bolls. In addition to blood-sucking aphids, there are also about swarms of dry and hard cotton seeds that need to be removed.

Otherwise, the cotton will quickly turn black within a quarter of an hour after being picked.

At the same time, it will become very dry and hard.

Therefore, workers need to be careful and meticulous when picking, remove the cotton seeds, and be on guard against blood-sucking aphids that chase and bite like vicious dogs. It can be said to be very troublesome.

Also, there is a special juice in the unpicked cotton that can corrode iron.

Therefore, it is impossible to use tools to pick them, and they can only be pulled hard.

"Shengsheng, pick the cotton from the tree next to mine. If we are bitten by blood-sucking aphids by accident, we can rescue each other as soon as possible."

Zhou Lin put on gloves and took the spray can, ready for work.

After speaking to Ye Sheng, he waved his hand wearing special gloves and explained: "Although special gloves are bite-proof, if you get bitten too many times, the gloves will become scrapped. Or if you encounter a powerful blood-sucking aphid, it can bite through the gloves in one bite."

"So don't be reckless just because you're wearing gloves. Be careful."

Listening to Zhou Lin's instructions, Ye Sheng nodded.

Then, in order not to discourage Ye Sheng's enthusiasm and to encourage himself to bravely face the blood-sucking aphids, Zhou Lin said: "If you find snow cotton cocoons in the cotton trees, that's a good thing. You can exchange one snow cotton cocoon for ten kilograms of cotton from the base officials!"

After saying that, Zhou Lin immediately rushed to the cotton tree he had his eye on, stepped on the high stool placed next to him, and began to pluck the cotton, then put the plucked cotton into the wooden bucket he was carrying.

Seeing this, Ye Sheng also took action, stood on the stool, and stretched out his hands to start pulling the cotton.

Zhou Lin looked relaxed just now, but when it was Ye Sheng's turn, he felt like the fluffy and soft cotton was welded to the tree and was very difficult to pull.

After finally pulling off a piece of cotton, Ye Sheng tried to pull it and found that the cotton was very tough... It seems that the cotton in the wasteland world has also mutated.

When picking cotton, you should not get too close to the cotton tree, otherwise you will be attacked by blood-sucking aphids.

Ye Sheng thought about it, quietly looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to her, and immediately took out a small hoe from the lottery space and hoeed the cotton bolls. After that, pulling the cotton became much easier.

If you can be lazy, why not?

(* ^ ▽ ^ *)

Her hoe is ordinary, but the material is indestructible.

Therefore, no matter how much the cotton corrodes the iron, it can't do anything to the small hoe... However, Ye Sheng was wondering before, even if the iron can't be used, it can be smashed with wood or something like that!

Now that a hoe had been used, Ye Sheng discovered that the cotton bolls were very hard.

It can't be broken without iron tools...

When Ye Sheng was lazily cracking open the cotton boll and picking the cotton easily, the blood-sucking aphids wandering in the cotton suddenly jumped out and bit Ye Sheng's finger, forcing Ye Sheng to dodge it very narrowly.

Because of the large amplitude of the movement, I almost fell off the stool.

Fortunately, I managed to stabilize myself in the end.

After that, the blood-sucking aphids became more aggressive, slightly bent their bodies, and even wanted to jump up to attack Ye Sheng, so Ye Sheng immediately picked up the spray bottle in the bucket and sprayed it at the blood-sucking aphids.

'Squeak'

The blood-sucking aphids chirped angrily, and Ye Sheng continued to spray them mercilessly.

Fortunately, these blood-sucking aphids move slowly, so people can react in time. Otherwise, if they attack by jumping, they will suck tons of blood from any part of the body they bite.

Ye Sheng felt that she needed a set of safety protective clothing more than special gloves.
