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

Chapter 500 Abnormal Pool

Fortunately, on the day when Xia Qing had a fierce battle with the Fiery Catching Team, the wind was blowing from the northeast, so the poisonous gas spread to the southwest. The bear cave was not within the coverage of the poisonous gas, was not designated as a danger zone, and was not within the fire-extinguishing isolation zone.

Yang Jin adapted to local conditions and installed a door in the bear cave, turning it into a disaster relief command room.

Xia Qing was very satisfied with the two solid iron doors. When she knocked on the door, what she was thinking about was that she should tell Yang Jin in advance that the cost of building the command room should be included in the compensation for the fire, so that the stingy man would not ask her to pay points.

If Xia Qing was unwilling to go out, this guy might remove the big iron door installed on the bear cave and carry it away.

The iron gate opened, and it turned out to be Hu Zifeng who walked out. Xia Qing greeted him and asked, "Captain Yang is not here?"

"Our boss is on a patrol at the top of the mountain. I'm going to protect the task force. You can rest here." Hu Zifeng said, and then reminded Xia Qing, "Lock the door."

He was afraid that someone would break in and find that Xia Qing was not in the cave, thus exposing the location of the valley.

After watching Hu Zifeng leave, Xia Qing locked the iron door and looked around the cave, which had changed drastically.

A layer of waterproof light-filling film was pasted on the stone wall inside the cave, and the cave was divided into two rooms with sandwich color steel plates. The outer room is an office, and the inner room is a lounge, which is quite decent.

Xia Qing passed through the lounge with a camp bed and a locker, entered the cave through the back door, pushed open the stones blocking the entrance and exit with great effort, and entered the hidden valley.

Although the temperature outside was more than 20 degrees below zero, it was as warm as spring in the valley. The grass that emerged during the snowfall period was actually more than a person's height.

The weeds were a familiar color to Xia Qing, and not as abnormal as the weeds in the danger zone. She hung her backpack on the stick where she had hung the peanuts last time and began to clean up the weeds.

If we don't take any care of the weeds all over the valley, they will grow ears of grass and produce seeds in three to five days.

Although Xia Qing's fighting power had not yet fully recovered, it was still easy for her to pull out the grass on an acre of land. If it weren't for the snakes and insects that kept jumping out to interfere, Xia Qing could have pulled it out even faster.

She also cleared the weeds on the grave, but unfortunately she failed to catch the rabbit.

After piling the cut grass in the gravel area to the east of the stone house where no soil was laid, Xia Qing washed off the dirt and grass leaves on his protective gloves, entered the stone house, wiped the photo frames hanging on the wall clean, hung them back in place, and went out of the house to continue his work.

After using an air detector to test the concentration of harmful elements in the air, Xia Qing found that the concentration of harmful elements here was the same as that outside the valley.

So, what exactly is the reason why the weeds in the valley's farmland grow thinner than normal?

Did the evolved grizzly bears that once lived here regularly clear the grass, reducing the density of grass seeds in the valley soil?
Or is it that the soil here is the same as the soil in the planting area of ​​Territory No. 3, with a higher content of vitamin C, which effectively reduces the content and activity of harmful elements in the soil?
She didn't dare to run to ask the Evolution Bear, so she took out a test tube from her backpack and took the soil back for testing.

Then, Xia Qing began to sample the spring water.

Samples were taken one by one from the spring outlet, the pool, and the canal leading to farmland and placed in a small insulated medicine box.

Thanks to her idol, Xia Qing has collected a lot of glass test tubes and a small insulated medicine box over the past six months. She puts the sampled spring water in the medicine box and takes it outside the valley, and the water will not freeze.

After completing the sampling, Xia Qing returned to the pool and checked the data displayed on the air detector to confirm that she was not mistaken. The concentration of atmospheric harmful elements near the hot spring pool was indeed lower than elsewhere.

Xia Qing stepped on a large locust that flew towards her and killed it. After standing quietly by the pool for half a minute, she came up with a crazy but most reasonable guess. She took down the backpack hanging on the wall, took out an insect net and a wire, and added a three-meter-long wooden stick from the valley to make a fishing net.

When she put the fishing net into the square pool with a side length of four meters, she found that the depth of the pool was not two meters as she had estimated, but about two and a half meters, and the bottom of the pool was covered with thick silt.

The silt was stirred up by the net, and the clear pool water quickly became turbid. The sharp-eyed Xia Qing saw some aquatic creatures fleeing quickly.

There are actually loaches and eels in the water, and they are quite big!
Xia Qing didn't know whether these loaches and eels were wild, raised by Shi Jiayi's family, or raised by the evolved bears. She continued to sift the silt with the fishing net, trying to leave no corner untouched.

When the first piece of Yi stone fragment was fished out, Xia Qing smiled.

As expected, she guessed correctly. There was Yi Stone in this pool, so the content of harmful elements in the air near the pool was lower than that in other places.

However, the effects of these Yi stones have weakened, so they cannot completely drive away the harmful elements.

There must be more than one piece of Yi stone in this pool. Xia Qing fished with the net and was delighted when she caught the first half piece of Yi stone.

When he fished out the other half of the Yi stone, Xia Qing was speechless: Putting a whole walnut-sized Yi stone in such a small pond is such a waste of resources!
It’s time to fight!

After scooping up the third, fourth, fifth, and finally the thirtieth half-piece of Yishi, Xia Qing was numb.

She checked the Yi stones one by one and found that only two halves were still slowly releasing Yi elements. She felt that she had discovered an extraordinary truth:

The black and white patterns on the inner Yi stone in the pool are exactly the same as the one that the wolf pack traded to Xia Qing.

The Evolved Bears also have mines, and they not only know the value of Yi Stone.

Could it be that the fight between the evolved bears and the evolved wolves is related to the seizure of the Yishi Mine?

Xia Qing threw the two halves of the Yi Stone that still had some effect back into the pool, put the ineffective Yi Stone into a bag and took it back, smashed it into slag, and used it to grow weeds.

It's not that she didn't want the two halves of the Yi Stone that still had a slight effect, but she was worried that the Evolved Bear might come back before the Yi Stone completely lost its effect.

Although this place has been designated as an experimental area by humans, for the animals in the evolutionary forest, this is still an evolutionary forest where they can enter and exit freely.

Especially the evolved bears who think they are more powerful than humans. If they still want this territory, they will come back at any time.

Xia Qing hoped that they would abandon the mountain because of the poison gas bombs, but also hoped that they would come back and continue throwing Yi stones into the pool.

At that time, the prodigal bear threw a broken Yi stone in, and Xia Qing picked up most of it. It was a waste to use the whole Yi stone in such a small pond.

After collecting the Yi stones, Xia Qing used a net to catch a few eels and loaches. After testing, he found that they were indeed edible.

Take it back to add to the dishes for yourself and the sick wolf. No matter how smart the evolved bear is, it can't count how many loaches and eels are in its pond!
Carrying his backpack, Xia Qing happily left the valley and entered the bear cave. He then struggled to push the big rock back to block the cave entrance. Just as he opened the iron door of the bear cave and was about to leave the command room to check on the situation of the task force, he found Yang Jin coming from the mountain.
