Chapter 176: Dare to Send Two, I'll Kill the Pair

After carrying "Crazy Sheep" home, Xia Qing was about to tidy up the sheep pen when the lead ram charged straight at her.

Xia Qing dodged, grabbed the lead ram's spiral horn with her left hand to keep it from smashing the sheep pen, "Want to fight?"

"Moo!" The lead ram struggled hard, furious because Xia Qing had people send the wolf pack away. Furious means fighting!

Xia Qing was ready to go all the way, "Fine, fight, come on!"

A good fight will just confirm your madness.

They couldn't fight at home, or they'd have to rebuild afterward. Xia Qing ran ahead, the lead ram chased behind, and once the human and sheep were out of the village, they started fighting. Although one had a wound on her face and the other a wound on its hoof, the commotion was still huge.

Chen Cheng watched the human-and-sheep pair where you crashed into me and I kicked you flying, and asked softly, "Brother, what do we do?"

What do you mean what do we do? Chen Zheng kept walking toward the village, "How much strength do you have to talk down two hot-tempered high-level power evolvers? Of course we carry out the mission!"

Chen Cheng said "oh," turned back and asked Guan Tong, "Brother Tong, aren't you going over there to try your hand?"

Power evolver Guan Tong glared at Chen Cheng.

I'm clearly not in the same weight class as those two—can't you see that? I think you don't want me to try my hand, you want to watch me get beaten up!

"Copy that, the evolved sheep has started attacking Lord Three, major commotion. Roger, moving out now." A Sufeng Squad member on surveillance outside Territory Three waved, signaling the people nearby to follow him.

You call that major commotion?

Tang Huai, who had eaten and drunk his fill and was returning to Territory Two, rolled his eyes hugely. Today's human-and-sheep pair had already been very restrained, probably because the sheep went crazy and Xia Qing couldn't bear to hit hard.

Following Xia Qing's instructions, Hu Zifeng delivered the three wolves into an abandoned cave at the wild boar breeding center, installed cameras, and only then withdrew from Area Three.

After the lead wolf arrived at the cave and leaped up to smash the camera with one paw, Hu Zifeng reported to Xia Qing, "The wolf pack has reunited with the wounded wolves. The Sufeng Squad only left one person each outside Territories Three, Seven, and Nine, but they're all top-notch scouts. You still need to be careful with what you say and do."

"Understood, thanks for your hard work, Captain Hu." After beating the lead ram down, Xia Qing, led by the Chen brothers with their evolved sense of smell, thoroughly cleaned the sheep pen and surrounding area of wolf scent, then picked a basket of vegetables and saw them out of Territory Three through the West Buffer Forest.

On the way, Guan Tong asked softly, "Sister Qing, is your right hand okay?"

Xia Qing tried to use her left hand for everything, which drew Guan Tong's attention.

"It's fine, just trained too hard, a bit sore."

Xia Qing certainly wouldn't say she was injured. Although there were evolvers with enhanced smell around, Xia Qing was wearing protective clothing and gloves, and figured they shouldn't be able to smell blood.

On the way back after seeing the people off, Xia Qing heard a Sufeng Squad member lying prone on the isolation belt whisper, "Hu Zifeng's squad of seven has left Territory Three. Right now only Hu Zifeng's three-person team and Lord Three are inside the territory."

"Don't act rashly. Hu Zifeng's shooting isn't bad. Lord Three has guns and grenades—killing us inside Territory Three wouldn't even be illegal for her."

"Obviously. Without that, what else could a woman rely on to make men work for her and guard her home?"

After saying that, the man let out a lewd laugh, not caring at all if anyone heard.

Xia Qing's emotions didn't waver in the slightest as she kept walking back.

After the catastrophe, social order collapsed, moral boundaries vanished, the strong did as they pleased, and the weak were bullied at will.

If she got angry and impulsive over a couple of lines like that, she wouldn't have lived this long.

What most of the Sufeng Squad people are like, Xia Qing had long known. She has a blood feud with Sufeng's Tang Zhengsu over her father's death. Before she had the strength to kill Tang Zhengsu, she kept her head down; once she had the strength, she struck a fatal blow, then immediately withdrew and went back to living her own quiet life.

The wolves were sent off, the spring mouth was sealed tight, and the territory was cleaned up. Xia Qing didn't take the surveillance seriously. After carrying the chicks and goslings home and putting them in the cellar, Xia Qing cooked dinner as usual, listened to the radio and weather forecast and farming knowledge, then opened the Lord channel and listened to the other lords sharing how polite the Sufeng Squad people were when they went looking for the pangolins today, and answered their questions along the way.

"Yes, my sheep got spooked, was a bit unstable, I've already given it medicine."

Zhao Ze expressed concern, "Xia Qing, your sheep won't lose control and run into my territory, will it?"

Xia Qing replied, "I'll keep it contained. If by any chance it charges into Territory Four, please notify me immediately, Brother Zhao. Any damage it causes to Territory Four, I'll compensate double. Please don't hurt my sheep, Brother Zhao."

Before Zhao Ze could say anything, Tang Huai jumped in immediately, "Xia Qing, your sheep goes crazy and you still treat it like a treasure. We've lost two precious pangolins and we're going out of our minds. Please permit us to enter Territory Three to search for the pangolins."

Xia Qing's voice was so cold it could freeze, "How precious your pangolins are has nothing to do with me. My sheep has already been driven sick by you people, and you still want to enter my territory? Dare to send one, I'll kill one; dare to send two, I'll kill the pair!"

Tang Huai……

Everyone……

After turning off the walkie-talkie, Xia Qing looked at the lead ram lying on the tatami beside her, turned its head toward the wall and ignoring her, and felt a bit like laughing, "Boss, you're several hundred jin already, how are you still acting like a kid?"

The lead ram sulked without moving. Xia Qing went over and rubbed its head, "Don't worry, I'm a person who honors contracts, I won't go back on my word."

Hu Zifeng, who remained at Mountain 49 monitoring the wolf pack, sent the latest update, "The wolf pack didn't move the three wounded wolves. They're still in the valley in Area Three."

The splints on the two wounded wolves haven't been removed yet, and now there's another wolf that's nearly dying of illness. The lead wolf not taking them away was completely within Xia Qing's expectations.

"Tonight I'll have to trouble Brother Feng to come guard the territory at the Territory Three cabin. At 2 a. m., I need to go to the valley to change the wolves' medicine."

Does the medicine absolutely have to be changed?

Hu Zifeng paused, then replied, "Understood, we'll return to Territory Three within half an hour."

2 a. m. is when humans sleep their deepest.

Xia Qing took her medicine and weapons and went downstairs, told the lead ram, "I'm going to change the medicine on the wounded wolves. Boss, guard the house, don't let anyone break in. Can you do it?"

"Baa." The lead ram called out once, stood up and nuzzled Xia Qing's leg, its call excited.

"You guy, the wolf pack really means that much to you?" Xia Qing laughed as she put on her night-vision goggles, fastened her protective mask, opened the security door, and went out.

In one battle with the evolved bird flock, Xia Qing lost three protective masks—the lead ram smashed one, and the two wolves' were spat all over and unusable. The one Xia Qing was wearing now was just traded from Yang Jin, made of better material than the last, non-reflective, perfect for secret missions.

What Xia Qing was going to carry out tonight was a secret mission.
