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

Chapter 533: Clearing the Valley
After a heated discussion, everyone took off their heavy winter clothes and started to work. It was more than 20 degrees below zero outside the valley, but it was 20 degrees inside the valley. The temperature difference was just like a joke.

Yue Haiying, Yuan Yan, Zhao Ze and Kuang Qingwei were responsible for razing the collapsed stone houses that had been burned by fire, moving the stones to the gravel area on the east side of the valley that was not covered with soil, and paving the gravel area as flat as possible.

Shi Du carried a sprayer on his back, spraying sterilization and pesticides in the valley and clearing weeds. This job was very dangerous and could only be done by people with healthy limbs and who had performed tasks in the Evolution Forest many times.

Xia Qing and Qi Fu, who have rich construction experience, began to install insect-proof nets along the cracks in the mountain to prevent small animals from passing through the cracks and entering the valley.

Unlike the insect-proof nets in the territory that are made of high-density polyethylene, which are easily bitten and scratched by rodent-like insects, the insect-proof nets used here are made of fine iron wire, which is harder and has a better insect-proof effect.

This kind of barbed wire is a military material and was obtained by Yue Haiying.

Xia Qing and Qi Fu both brought professional tools and climbing ropes, and installed the insect-proof net in less than half a day.

After installing the insect-proof net, everyone got into the special tent in the Evolution Forest next to the hot spring, took off their protective masks and gloves, and started to eat lunch and drink filtered hot spring water.

When he came here today, Qi Fu brought a mid-level filter element and a bucket for filtering water. In half a day, he had filtered three buckets of water.

As everyone speculated, using a mid-level filter element can reduce the harmful element content in the hot spring from 17‰ to 4‰.

Water with a harmful element content of 4‰ and without radioactive substances and other toxins is considered high-quality among green light waters!
“If we use a high-end filter, the water quality of this spring will surpass that of water that has been distilled and then added with minerals, and it will contain fewer mineral elements than unpolluted spring water. If this news gets out, all the forces in Huisan will definitely be in big trouble.” Yue Haiying couldn’t help but have tears in his eyes, and his gaze became more determined.

It was right not to tell Tan Junjie about this valley and this hot spring. It was his duty. If Tan Junjie knew about it, he would definitely report it to the Territory Management Department. By then, no matter how powerful Zhang San was, he would not be able to compete with the entire base. The proportion of the spring water that the Lord Alliance could grab would probably be less than 1%.

The base has two unpolluted springs, but without this spring, there is still distilled mineral water available. The 32 brothers in Territory No. who have been disabled and sick in order to protect the base and ordinary people need this spring water to heal their injuries and prolong their lives. The Lord Alliance also needs the help of this hot spring and this cave to grow and develop.

Yue Haiying raised his head and poured all the spring water in the cup into his mouth without leaving a drop.

Zhao Ze cried again as he drank. "I really think this water tastes better than the bottled spring water before the disaster. I feel like I'm dreaming today... It would be so nice if I were a few years younger."

Kuang Qingwei also sighed, "Although I am 44 years old this year, my wife is young. If she drinks more water like this and eats more green light foods, she will definitely become an evolver."

Zhao Ze, who was crying, was stunned, while everyone else couldn't help laughing.

Shi Du encouraged the two ordinary people in the team, "Brother Qing, Brother Zhao, don't lose heart. My mother is 46 years old this year. She ate the python meat given by Sister Qing, and now her strength has evolved to level two and a half. You all have the possibility to evolve." Zhao Ze was immediately comforted, and Kuang Qingwei's eyes also sparkled. Although he said that he had no hope, how could an ordinary person living on this cruel planet not want to become an evolver with stronger abilities and longer lifespan?
As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we should try our best.

But Xia Qing, who had been absorbing knowledge crazily these days, was not as optimistic as Shi Du. After investigating a large number of samples, the researchers came to a conclusion that made most ordinary people despair:
The probability of an ordinary person over 35 evolving multiple abilities and becoming an evolver is less than one in a hundred thousand.

The reason why in recent years we often find ordinary people over the age of 35 being promoted to Evolvers is because these people were originally Evolvers, but due to poor living conditions and insufficient energy absorbed by their bodies, their abilities are not outstanding and have not been noticed or detected.

For example, Shi Du's mother was stronger than ordinary people before she ate the meat of the advanced evolved python. When she went to the safe zone testing department for testing, she was not identified as an evolver because she did not meet the standards of a second-level strength evolver. This was also the case for Yuan Yan before she came to the territory.

Zhao Ze and Kuang Qingwei are over 35 years old. Unless they were evolvers who had not been detected before, no matter how much high-quality food they eat or how much high-quality water they drink, the probability of them becoming evolvers is only one in a hundred thousand, which is equivalent to "0".

The country did not make this news public because it did not want ordinary people over the age of 35, who make up the majority of the population, to lose hope. Human beings are living too hard now, and if they lose hope, have emotional breakdowns or take extreme actions to plunder resources, the number of people will be several times higher than it is now.

Xia Qing couldn't confirm whether Zhao Ze and Kuang Qingwei were the undetected evolvers, and she didn't want to tell them this cruel truth. Instead, she changed direction and boosted everyone's morale:
"Drinking more high-quality water like this can improve everyone's resistance and physical fitness, even if it can't stimulate evolution. Shidu, your father's condition will definitely be better controlled."

"We can cultivate high-quality rice seedlings in the valley, and we will be able to harvest hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of kilograms of high-quality rice in June next year. By then, everyone will have points in their hands, and Aunt Zhao and Brother Yue can get bionic prostheses, making their lives and farming much more convenient."

After hearing what Xia Qing said, Yue Haiying smiled, and Zhao Ze's eyes were also lit up by Xia Qing's words, "Yes! I want to give my mother a bionic prosthesis with movable fingers!"

Shi Du stuffed the last bite of jerky into his mouth, "Come on, let's continue! Sister Qing, what do you think we should do for the rest of the day?"

Xia Qing looked at Qi Fu, "Brother Qi, what do you think?"

Qi Fu suggested, "We have almost finished sorting the rocks on the east side. Why don't we split into three groups this afternoon? One group will carry soil from outside to the valley, and one group will stay in the valley to clean up the land on the west side. There is still more than a month before we start raising rice seedlings. It's a pity to leave the one acre of land on the west side empty. Let's clean up the land and water it today, and fertilize and plant rapeseed tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Even if we don't sell it, we can eat it ourselves or send it to Territory No. 7 to give Third Brother some vegetables. What do you think?"

Everyone unanimously agreed to split into two groups to work in the afternoon.

Xia Qing, Shi Du, Qi Fu and Yuan Yan, the four of them were strong, so they went out to look for suitable soil and carried it into the valley. The rest of the people stayed in the valley to clear the farmland on the west side.
