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

Chapter 683 Green Lantern Bamboo Shoots

"Yes, Sister Yan, please put the snake away." Xia Qing is the defender today. He needs to keep an eye on his surroundings at all times and eliminate any approaching dangers at any time. Cleaning up the prey is the task of the logistics personnel.

"Okay." Yuan Yan picked up the broken Qi snake neatly, quickly sealed it and stuffed it into her backpack, then swung the pickaxe to dig bamboo shoots.

The one-meter-long bamboo shoot buried in the soil was dug out. It must be more than 15 kilograms when weighed by hand. The price of yellow lantern bamboo shoots this spring is 300 points per kilogram, and this bamboo shoot is worth more than points!
The couple was overjoyed and continued to look for edible bamboo shoots along the direction of the bamboo roots.

Tan Qi took a look at the big bamboo shoots that Qi Fu and his wife had found, then lowered her head and continued to look for bamboo shoots according to the experience Qi Fu had taught her. After finally finding one, it was a red light again. Tan Qi was only frustrated for a second, and immediately cheered up to look for the next one.

Xia Qing held a knife in his left hand and a gun in his right hand, standing beside the three men, responsible for guarding them.

"Green light bamboo shoots have been found in Area 2. They are being excavated and will start being cut in one minute." Yoshiko made an announcement on the intercom.

If you cut down the green bamboo shoots, the bamboo is likely to fire bamboo leaf darts, which may also cause nearby animals to panic and flee, entering other areas and injuring people, so it is necessary to issue an announcement in advance to remind companions in other areas to take precautions.

Xia Qing replied, "Received, be safe."

A minute later, Xia Qing heard the tinkling sound of bamboo leaf darts hitting hard objects coming from Area 2.

Half an hour later, Yue Haiying issued a notice, "Green bamboo shoots were found in District 3. They are being excavated and will be cut down later."

After receiving Xia Qing's reply, he found that Qi Fu, Yuan Yan and Tan Qi had become a little impatient, so he reminded them, "Brother Qi, Sister Yan, Qiqi, stay calm."

Green light bamboo shoots were sold for 80 points per pound. Xia Qing could understand their anxiety, but the most taboo thing in the Evolution Forest was impatience, because once people lost their composure, they would easily make mistakes.

Green bamboo shoots were found in all three areas that Xia Qing had divided last year. As long as they kept looking, they would find them. It wasn't that Xia Qing didn't want to tell them where the green bamboo was, but because she couldn't remember which one it was.

After receiving the reminder, the three of them immediately calmed down and continued digging bamboo shoots.

An hour later, Tan Qi found the first green bamboo shoot. Although it was only the size of a palm, the little girl still jumped for joy.

Xia Qing took out a soft bulletproof shield from his backpack, opened it, and the four of them hid under the shield before letting Tan Qi break off the bamboo shoots.

After the bamboo shoots were broken, the bamboo roots trembled, and the green bamboos fired bamboo leaf darts. Hearing the bamboo leaves banging on the soft bulletproof shield, and seeing a few bamboo leaves shooting into the soil and stuck on the bamboo poles, Qi Fu and his wife and Tan Qi, who were protected under the umbrella, stared with their eyes wide open, unable to believe that this was something the bamboo leaves could do.

Unbelievable, so crazy!

If this evolution continues, maybe plants will be able to break away from the land and run around...

"All right."

After the bamboo leaf darts were over, Xia Qing put away the bulletproof shield and asked the three people to surround the green lantern bamboo and dig green lantern bamboo shoots.

Digging bamboo shoots is strenuous work. After another hour, the team set up the tent and rested on the spot.

It's not like you can't do anything during the break. Qi Fu asked, "Captain, can I peel the bamboo shoots and take only the bamboo shoots back?"

Everyone has a limited amount of weight to carry, and by peeling the skin and chopping off the roots of the bamboo shoots, they can bring more bamboo shoots back.

Seeing his three companions looking at him in unison, Xia Qing shook his head firmly, "No, the smell of peeling bamboo shoots may attract bamboo-eating animals around and cause danger." This is also the reason why the bamboo shoot pit must be covered immediately after digging and the bamboo shoots must be packed in bags.

"I understand." In the Evolution Forest, all actions must be obeyed by the captain. Qi Fu immediately gave up the idea and sat down to rest.

Tan Qi finished her rest in the tent and sorted out the bamboo shoots she had dug. She found that she had reached her weight limit, so she got out of the tent and discussed with Yuan Yan, "Aunt Yan, have you dug enough bamboo shoots?"

Yuan Yan shook her head, "There's still more than 300 kilograms to go."

She and her husband are both strength evolvers. Although they dug a lot in the morning, they were still far from the maximum load target of 750 kilograms that they agreed on.

Tan Qi asked, "I have dug enough bamboo shoots. Can I help you dig them this afternoon?"

This exchange method was one of the rules agreed upon by the members of the temporary collection team. Tan Qi was going to return with the team, and since he had nothing to do in the following time, he might as well help Qi Fu and his wife find bamboo shoots and earn some points.

Yuan Yan nodded, "I'll give you 20 points for each large bamboo shoot and 10 points for each medium bamboo shoot, is that ok?"

They asked Tan Qi to help them find it. After they dug enough pounds of bamboo shoots as soon as possible, they could take a rest before returning and get enough energy to carry the bamboo shoots back to their territory.

"Okay." Tan Qi agreed readily. She was very happy to be able to earn points through her own ability.

Two hours later, around three o'clock in the afternoon, the team members had dug the bamboo shoots they had set as their target and began their return journey.

Although they didn't have to clear the bushes and thorns to clear the way on the way back, the team's load increased, so the speed of travel was not fast. Especially the rugged section from the bamboo forest to the foot of the third peak of the 50th Mountain was very physically demanding. So after forty minutes, Xia Qing heard the team members' breathing becoming heavier, so he called a stop and rested for fifteen minutes.

Hearing that they could rest, the power evolvers all sat down on the rocks, leaning on their backpacks and breathing heavily. Xia Qing, who was also a power evolver and had done the task of carrying supplies for many years, knew their current state very well. It would take them fifteen minutes to recover.

She whispered to Tan Qi, who was slumped over her backpack with her eyes closed, "Qi Qi, do you need me to help you carry some of the supplies?"

Although Tan Qi’s bag is not big, she is only ten years old and is not a power evolver. It is very good that she can hold on until now.

Tan Qi was so tired that stars appeared in his eyes and his throat was hot. He could not speak at all and could only raise his hands tremblingly.

Xia Qing smiled and high-fived her.

This is the action of encouraging each other when the two were on the verge of collapse during Yanlong's special training. The little girl was telling Xia Qing that she was very tired now, but she could hold on.

Xia Qing walked over to Huo Lei and asked about his situation. Huo Lei was the oldest person in the team today. Xia Qing estimated that his backpack weighed at least 15 kilograms. For a -year-old level strength evolver, carrying kilograms of supplies for miles on a mountain road was already considered full load.

Holly, who was sweating all over, panted, "This job is more strenuous than forging iron, but I just drank some nutrient solution, and I will be able to recover after a rest."

Xia Qing nodded, and used her keen ears to capture the sounds of animals' movements.

Ryoko's voice soon sounded, "Two small animals appeared, they should be squirrels, bobcats or weasels."

These animals will not attack humans, but they are carrying a large amount of supplies. Out of caution, Xia Qing decided to prepare for defense. "Liangzi, Brother Yue, defend, and the rest of you rest where you are."

After a while, a round white head slowly emerged from a rock three meters away. The little guy stared at the crowd of humans with a pair of big black eyes.
