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

Chapter 690: No temper, easy to talk to

Before going to Hill No. 10, Xia Qing returned to his own territory to fetch liters of unpolluted spring water before continuing on his journey.

Her main purpose of going out today was to deliver medicine and water to Zhang Hongda who was treating poison in the hidden valley, and then to carry back the bamboo with evolved hardness from Mountain 52 to reinforce the greenhouse.

She went to Territory No. 7 first to make people think that the medicine and water she took were brought from the idol.

Unpolluted spring water is her biggest secret. The fewer people who know this secret, the safer the springs in her territory will be.

Because he was carrying hundreds of kilograms of supplies, Xia Qing could not use a personal flying vehicle and had to hike alone to the third peak of Mountain No. 50.

Just as she was about to leave the northern isolation zone and enter the valley passage between Hill 49 and Hill 50, she encountered a patrol car of the inspection team.

Hearing that Xia Qing was going to Hill No. 50, Su Ming opened the car door without saying a word and wanted to take her there.

Xia Qing certainly wouldn't be polite when she had a car to ride in. She put her backpack on the sidecar of the patrol car, sat in the back seat with Su Ming, and said hello to Yuan Rui, who was driving, and Tan Junjie, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Tan Junjie, Yuan Rui and Xia Qing are all relatively quiet people. After greeting each other, the three of them fell silent.

But the car was still very lively. Su Ming chatted for a while and turned the topic to the dagger on Xia Qing's waist. "Sister Qing, is this set of black knives made by Lord No. 11?"

After Huo Lei entered the Lord Channel, Xia Qing publicly stated his relationship with Huo Lei, so Su Ming asked this question.

Xia Qing nodded and handed the black knife to Su Ming.

"This knife is so heavy and sharp." No wonder Hu Zi was so envious of Xia Qing's knife that he kept talking to himself for a long time after seeing it. Thinking of Hu Zi, Su Ming felt that the knife was even heavier.

He perked up and asked with a smile, "Sister Qing, what kind of steel is this made of?"

Xia Qing replied, "Martensitic aging stainless steel"

Huh? Su Ming was confused. Gang also has a surname?
Tan Junjie glanced at the disappointing team members through the rearview mirror, and Su Ming immediately handed the knife to the captain with a smile.

Tan Junjie weighed it and said, "The main material is high-hardness, high-toughness, and stainless martensitic aging stainless steel. The color is so dark and it doesn't reflect light. Chromium must have been added?"

Sure enough, there are people who know the business. Xia Qing nodded, "In addition to chromium, trace amounts of cobalt, molybdenum, nitrogen, etc. are added, which significantly improves the strength and hardness of the steel knife, while maintaining good toughness."

Su Ming exclaimed, "Sister Qing, it turns out you really learned blacksmithing!"

Tan Junjie returned the knife to Xia Qing and said, "This knife is very good. I will also ask Lord No. 11 to make two suitable ones for Qiqi."

As a disciple of Yanlong, Tan Qi also uses two cold weapons, with clean and sharp moves. In addition to her speed evolution advantage, although she is only ten years old, her combat power is already good. If the goal is to kill, she is sure to win against two or three professionally trained ordinary people.

After a few years when her height and strength increase, her combat power will definitely increase several times.

Xia Qing offered Huo Leila business, "This kind of steel has a high hardness after quenching, and needs to be repeatedly folded and hammered at high temperature. The strength and toughness combination of the knife will be significantly different at different tempering temperatures. Uncle Huo is an expert in this area, and you have found the right person."

The patrol car bumped along the way and stopped at the foot of the third peak of Hill No. 50. Su Ming jumped into the truck bed and handed Xia Qing her big backpack.

On the way back, Su Ming felt a little uncomfortable. After Hu Zi left, he never carried such a heavy backpack again. Thinking of Hu Zi, Su Ming remembered the phone call the captain received this morning, "Boss, what did Hu Zi's mother say to you this morning?"

Tan Junjie stroked the safety bracelet his daughter had made for him on his right wrist and replied, "She wants Jiang Ying to come work here."

Su Ming's eyes widened. "Her job at the food factory was taken away by someone?!"

Hu Zi died in the line of duty, leaving only his mother and his sister Jiang Ying as ordinary people. Tan Junjie reported the situation of Hu Zi's family to the base, and after much effort, he finally arranged for Jiang Ying to work in the workshop of the food factory in the safe zone. The working environment in the food factory is relatively good, and the salary is also good. Jiang Ying's salary plus Hu Zi's pension can meet the living needs of both of them.

Su Ming remembered that Jiang Ying had only started working in the middle of last month. It hadn't even been a month. Who the hell was so bold? !
Yuan Rui, who was driving, glanced at the captain's expression and asked, "Do they think our place is safer than the food factory?"

"Ah?!" Su Ming was even more confused. "Even if we put up a circle of iron mesh walls here, the safety is still far worse than the safe zone. Hu Zi's sister is an ordinary person. How can there be a suitable job for her in the investigation team? What if something happens to her again, what will happen to her mother..."

An evolved animal appeared in front of him, and Tan Junjie ordered, "Su Ming, go down and catch the snake in front."

"Yes."

After Su Ming got off the car, Yuan Rui asked, "Boss, does Hu Zi's mother want Jiang Ying to enter the territory?"

The investigation team has no suitable work, so they can only enter the territory.

A few days ago, Hu Zi's mother came over and wanted to ask Tan Junjie to put in a good word with the higher-ups, hoping that they could arrange a formal job for Jiang Ying in the inner city of the safe zone, and then let them move to the inner city to live.

Hu Zi's military service and military achievements were not high enough to arrange for his family to enter the inner city. The formal channels were not available, and his comrades did not have the ability and financial resources to arrange for the mother and daughter to enter.

Hearing the captain's response, Yuan Rui looked at the more than three-meter-long evolved venomous snake that Su Ming caught in front of the car and frowned, "What went wrong with the work of Jiangying Food Factory?"

There are more than 30 retired and wounded soldiers in Territory No. 15, all of whom are single regardless of their age. It is inappropriate to arrange for a 19-year-old unmarried girl to live there, and everyone can see that.

So Yuan Rui deduced that there must be something wrong with Jiang Ying's work.

Tan Junjie replied, "She said that many people want to take advantage of Jiang Ying, and the factory is not safe. So she asked me to ask Xia Qing if it is possible to let Jiang Ying work in Territory No. 3."

Yuan Rui was stunned for a while and sighed, "When Xia Qing doesn't have a cold face, he does look like a person with no temper and is easy to talk to."

The last time Hu Zi's mother came over, she happened to catch Xia Qing coming out of Territory No. 7 after finishing her business. Yuan Rui introduced them to each other, and the two exchanged a few polite words.

Hu Zi's mother is very good at choosing places, but Xia Qing would definitely disagree. Yuan Rui asked, "Boss, I'll take a leave and go over there to see if I can help?"

After delivering a batch of supplies to Zhang He, who was stationed in the dangerous area of ​​the Third Peak and planting red weeds, Xia Qing went around the southeast side of the Third Peak and walked up a few steps when he was blocked by a honey badger lying on the animal path and eating a poisonous snake.

Seeing that this guy had no intention of giving way, Xia Qing raised his hand to indicate that he had no intention of attacking, and took a few steps back to take a detour.

The flat-headed brother has a bad temper and its meat is unpalatable. It is also one of the natural enemies of snakes, so Xia Qing doesn't want to kill it.

But unexpectedly, when Xia Qing reached the entrance of the mountain stream in the hidden valley halfway up the mountain, he met the honey badger again.

This time, Xia Qing couldn't take a detour.
