Chapter 165: Xia Qing Gets Scolded

After greeting the two wolves and one sheep lying in the sheep shed, the first thing Xia Qing did after bringing the cages into the house was to take out the spinach juice hanging in the cellar and feed two drops to each chicken.

The other chickens were all obedient, only the black-feathered young rooster was tossing about violently. However, it was just a chick, and no matter how much it tossed, it could only be dealt with. After Xia Qing finished feeding it the spinach juice, she pointed at its little head with her finger and lectured, "You behave yourself, otherwise I'll kill you for meat first during the New Year."

After feeding the green-light chickens, Xia Qing stared at the lone, listless red-light small black-bristled goose curled up in the goose cage. Yesterday, when she went on a mission, she was assigned three goslings, one green, one yellow, and one red. Now, it was good, only one red-light one was left alive.

The taste of black-bristled goose meat was indeed very good, but this one was red-light, and it couldn't be eaten without being sent back to the Safe Zone for special processing. Even if it was specially processed, the taste wasn't good, and it wasn't good for the body, so Xia Qing didn't want to eat it either.

After today's ultrasound attack, the birds near the swamp must have run far away, and the possibility of catching edible geese again was extremely low.

Although red-light animals could be sold for 25 points per jin after being raised, the cost-effectiveness was too low for Xia Qing. With the effort of feeding the goose, she might as well cut a few knives of white-haired chicken-shit vine, which was more cost-effective.

However, the chicken-shit vine was smashed quite badly by the hail and hadn't recovered yet. To cut it for points, she would have to wait until next year, so she would just raise this goose with the chickens.

Xia Qing took out the gosling, fed it two drops of spinach juice, and muttered, "Don't look at it as only two drops, it's worth 200 points. You must live well."

After feeding the poultry, Xia Qing went to check the fish in the water bucket. The one floating belly-up was completely hopeless, but the remaining ones were much more energetic than at noon.

Xia Qing tested the element content and toxic substance content of the belly-up fish and found that this fish was still yellow-light, and the toxic substance content was also very low, and the meat hadn't deteriorated, so it could be eaten. She put the live fish back into the weir pond and made soup and ate the meat of the dead one.

It was said that eating fish nourished the brain. Xia Qing's head was still not very comfortable, so she had to nourish it.

While drinking fish soup in the evening, Xia Qing heard the news about the Hui City base resisting the evolved bird flock on the China General News broadcast.

"A bird flock composed of more than 3,000 evolved birds, mainly evolved monkey-eating eagles and evolved sea eagles, rushed from the Gui City base into the Hui City base. After being effectively intercepted at the Hui No. 1 base, the bird flock fled to the Hui No. 3 and Hui No. 5 bases. The military and civilians of the two bases jointly resisted, repelled the bird flock, and did not cause major losses."

The few words from the General Station turned into ten minutes on the Hui City radio news, and turned into a fifteen-minute special introduction during the Hui No. 3 base broadcast period. The special introduction mentioned Luo Pei's name several times and also introduced in detail the process of the military and civilians in the two territories north of the Safe Zone resisting the evolved birds.

Only then did Xia Qing know that there were more than 3,000 evolved raptors gathered by the sea at the Gui City base. After the bird flock was killed by several hundred at the Hui No. 1 base, the bird flock was divided into two parts. More than 1,000 entered the Hui No. 3 base, then were reduced by the Hui No. 3 base's defense line to more than 200, and flew over the territory under the No. 49 mountain. After being killed by the military led by Tan Tan Junjie and the territory personnel, the remaining dozen or so evolved birds fled to the evolved forest and were wiped out by missiles.

If she had encountered a bird flock of 3,000 evolved raptors at the beginning, Xia Qing would definitely have given up resistance, taken her companions and important supplies, and hidden in the cellar, waiting for the bird flock to fly over before coming out to clean up the mess.

The crops in the territory were important, but not as important as life. When encountering major danger, survival was the priority.

The military and squads of the Hui No. 1 and Hui No. 3 bases who faced them directly were all heroes. Xia Qing wasn't a hero. She used to be a laborer, and now she was a farmer. When encountering danger, she just needed to take care of herself and not drag the heroes down.

Xia Qing had always been very clear about her own positioning.

Currently, the most important thing for her was to clean up the cellar. Not only for storing food but also for safety. If there was another evolved bird flock attack in the future, even if she stayed outside to counterattack, she had to arrange a hiding place for the important supplies and animals in the territory.

Today's farming knowledge broadcast introduced how the lords in the territory could clean up bird carcasses and bird feathers and eliminate evolved bacteria after being attacked by the evolved bird flock, so as to restore production as soon as possible.

After the farming knowledge ended, before Xia Qing could turn on the walkie-talkie, she received a call from Luo Pei.

"Xia Qing, how are you now?"

Luo Pei knew Xia Qing was an auditory evolver, which was why he called to ask.

Xia Qing heard that it was very quiet on his side, with no human voices or wind sounds. Xia Qing guessed he should have returned to the headquarters of the Azure Dragon Squad in the Safe Zone, and replied briefly, "I was wearing the best protective mask at the time, which blocked part of the attack. Although I'm a bit uncomfortable, I'll be fine after resting for two days. Brother Luo, I heard on the broadcast just now that you shot and killed four evolved monkey-eating eagles. That's too amazing!"

The evolved bird flock that rushed to the Hui No. 3 base was led by five evolved monkey-eating eagles. If it weren't for Luo Pei, the top sniper of the Hui No. 3 base, having recovered his combat strength and being able to rush to the front line, the Hui No. 3 base wouldn't know how much loss it would have suffered this time.

Luo Pei's voice was gentle, "I heard from Hu Hu Zifeng that you killed seven evolved birds?"

Xia Qing grinned, also very satisfied with her battle record. But before she could be humble for two sentences, she heard Luo Pei add another sentence: "One of the seven was stabbed to death with a knife?"

Xia Qing...

It's over, Luo Pei has turned on the strict teacher mode, and she's going to be scolded.

After listening to Luo Pei scold her for ten minutes, Xia Qing, who was scolded into being convinced, said, "You are right. I had too many loopholes in this battle and must work hard to improve."

Luo Pei's voice softened, "Better late than never. You must work hard next."

"Yes." Xia Qing replied forcefully, then asked in a low voice, "Brother Luo, are you with Captain Yang?"

Just now, Xia Qing heard the sound of Yang Jin arranging work.

Luo Pei nodded, "Yes."

Then, Yang Jin's voice came from the phone, "Xia Qing, did you suffer losses in the battle with the bird flock? Do you need material replenishment?"

Unlike Luo Pei's gentleness, Yang Jin's voice sounded like it had no temperature, but it made people feel very comfortable. His voice wasn't the kind of comfortable that became calm and composed after the baptism of time like Tang Tang Zhengpo's, but a kind of quietness, the quietness of the sky, which made people involuntarily let down their guard.

This was one of the great weapons for Yang Jin to become an iron rooster that didn't pull out a single hair!

Xia Qing cheered up, "Captain Yang, the protective mask of the dog protective suit I exchanged with you in March this year is damaged. Can I exchange for another one? Besides that, I also want to exchange for a set of that camouflage protective suit from last time, with two protective masks."

Yang Jin flicked the cigarette ash into the ashtray and replied calmly, "These are field level-three protective suits, the price has gone up."

Luo Pei...

Xia Qing had always worn level-one protective suits. Level-three was two grades better and wasn't sold publicly in the Safe Zone, so it was normal for the price to go up. Xia Qing asked, "Okay, do you see any supplies you need here?"

Yes, many.

Yang Jin replied briefly, "Use green-light vegetables. I want to juice them next month."

Xia Qing understood: Yang Jin had an important combat mission next month and needed her spinach leaves to make special-grade nutrient solution.

This, she could do.

Xia Qing straightened her back, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Luo Pei sighed, "Just said to train hard, and turned around to consider changing a protective mask for her sheep." ===== CHAPTER 166 =====
