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

After leaving the territory, the ten-man team formed a column and headed north. As the team leader, Xia Qing walked in the front, Liangzi was at the back, and Yue Haiying was in the middle, responsible for both sides.

Tan Qi, who was on his first official mission, walked in front of Yue Haiying with a tense face. He paid attention to the movements around him, constantly reminding himself that even a centipede or a grasshopper should not be underestimated, because they could be evolvers that could take people's lives.

Yue Haiying saw that Tan Qi was nervous. If she walked to the bamboo forest in this state, even if there was no danger or fighting on the way, most of her physical strength would be consumed.

However, he did not train Tan Qi like a rookie. Tan Junjie and Yanlong had already taught this little girl everything she needed to know. Next, she would have to find out her deficiencies through actual combat training and improve little by little.

Before the natural disaster, the 10-year-old child was a primary school student who needed to be picked up by his parents. During the natural disaster, survival skills are a compulsory course for children to learn as soon as they are old enough to understand. The earlier they master survival skills, the greater their chances of surviving in the event of a sudden disaster.

The ten people set out at seven in the morning, heading north along the valley between Mountain 49 and Mountain 50. The first half of the journey, from the territory to the third peak of Mountain 50, had a lane opened up when the fire isolation zone was built last year. Although the road was overgrown with weeds and small trees, the risk factor was not high.

Xia Qing used the sharp machete that Huo Leigang gave her to clear a path in front. With one stroke, she cut the weeds, vines, thorns, and small trees in half, making way for humans.

The reason for opening up the passage is that the team will return along this road in the afternoon with bamboo shoots on their backs. If the road is not cleared now, the small animals hiding in the passage on the return journey will increase the difficulty of defense for the team's guards, and will also make the load-bearers more nervous, slowing down the team's progress.

If we can't return to the territory before dark, we will be in trouble.

After passing the third peak of the 50th Mountain, the road became rough and rugged, and the difficulty of the task of opening the road also increased. Shi Du asked, "Sister Qing, can I open the road for a while?"

After entering the territory, Shi Du ate better than before, his physical fitness improved, and his strength evolution increased from level four to level five and a half. He was the evolver in the team with the second highest level of strength evolution after Xia Qing, and was capable of taking on more tasks.

"Okay." Xia Qing handed the machete to Shi Du and instructed, "Follow the animal path and avoid the big trees."

"Understood." Shi Du happily took the machete and cleared the way ahead.

"There's a large animal about 30 meters away at the nine o'clock direction." After the third peak, there were more animals in the Evolution Forest. Liang Zi, who was at the rear, informed Xia Qing of the danger, "It could be a leopard or a wolf."

Wolves and leopards are both large predatory beasts in the Evolutionary Forest, but the lords of the Northern Region had completely different feelings when they heard about these two animals:

Leopard - danger; wolf - Xia Qing's friend and guardian.

Of course, everyone hopes it is the latter.

Xia Qing also heard the noise. She was so familiar with wolves that she knew it was not a wolf just by listening to the noise and looking at the hiding area. "It's probably a leopard. The team will proceed as normal. Liangzi will continue to pay attention to the leopard's movements and report at any time."

"receive."

Ryouko responded, and Tokiwa continued to make his way and push forward.

Tan Qi clenched her gun and stared at the movement on the left. Leopards are natural speed kings, and after evolution, no one can match them. As a speed evolver, Tan Qi is particularly concerned about this kind of animal. She wants to see with her own eyes this animal that is faster than the top speed evolver Yang Jin.

Are you nervous? Yes. Are you afraid? No, because the captain is very calm and orders the team to move forward, indicating that the leopard is not a threat.

Liangzi continued to report the leopard's movements. "The leopard is following us forward, and the distance is still about 30 meters. A medium-sized animal appeared in the evolutionary forest on the right. Judging from the sound, it should be a badger."

Xia Qing immediately ordered, "Everyone, pay attention. If the badger rushes over, get out of the way immediately."

Badgers are omnivorous small to medium-sized animals, belonging to the Mustelidae family like weasels, and their ability to attack with poisonous gas should not be underestimated. The reason why Xia Qing asked the members to avoid them is that these animals are very vengeful, and the honey badger, known as the "flat-headed brother", is the worst.

The most appropriate way to describe honey badgers is to "be indifferent to life and death, and fight against them if they don't agree." Xia Qing has a deep understanding of this.

This animal has white hair on the top of its head and back, and the rest of its body is black. It has a pair of small black eyes, and looks a bit cute at first glance.

At that time, a pioneer in Xia Qing's collection team discovered a honey badger and wanted to kill it and bring it back.

Unexpectedly, the little guy had a very thick and slippery skin and escaped. After escaping, it secretly followed the team for a day, and the team members took it as a joke and didn't pay attention. Unexpectedly, when they returned in the evening, the honey badger jumped out and bit the foot of the team member who kicked it.

Although the honey badger was killed by the team's defenders, the team member whose foot was bitten was also amputated due to infection with evolutionary bacteria, losing half of his leg.

From then on, Xia Qing would avoid provoking badgers if she could in the Evolution Forest. Even though she was a better marksman now and could hit the target with one shot, she rarely shot the flat-headed badgers.

Because these things actually move in groups. If you kill one, you will be remembered by a group of vengeful flatheads.

Every time Xia Qing encounters an animal that shouldn't be in this evolutionary forest, he would thank the humans who created the "zoo" in his heart.

Thanks to them for gathering animals from all over the Blue Planet in this small zoo, the animal species in the Evolution Forest were greatly enriched after the natural disaster!
"sand--"

"defense!"

When the subtle sound of leaves being blown through the forest was heard on the left, Xia Qing issued an order and took aim with the sniper rifle.

The task force immediately changed from a column to a triangle formation. Xia Qing, Liangzi and Yue Haiying occupied the triangle, facing outward to prepare for a counterattack. The little Tan Qi and Shi Mu, who had the weakest defense, were in the middle.

"hiss--"

When he saw the leopard, Tan Qi couldn't help but gasp. Just like what the teacher at school had said, the leopard was very secretive. If it weren't for the captain's order, Tan Qi wouldn't have realized it was so close.

Xia Qing pointed her gun at the leopard, which she had met once before, and waited for it to make a choice. If it attacked, Xia Qing would shoot, and she was sure she could kill it with one shot at this distance; if it retreated, the human team would continue to move forward.

The leopard crawling behind the bushes stared at Xia Qing for a full ten seconds before slowly retreating.

Liangzi reported, "The leopard has retreated to 40 meters away, and the badger is less than 10 meters away from us, at the two o'clock direction."

Xia Qing put down the sniper rifle and said, "Keep going. Shi Du will return to the team. I will lead the way."

"receive."

Xia Qing took the machete and began to move to the left. They had passed Hill 49 and entered Hill 52. If they moved eastwards about a thousand meters, they would reach the bamboo forest.

Turning left in advance was to avoid the badger. Because Xia Qing saw the cool and domineering white flat-headed hair and the indignant eyes of the honey badger through the gaps between the grass and trees. (End of this chapter)
