Chapter 1800: Sampling and finding bullfrogs

After the helicopter tied with the giant eagle's claws landed steadily on the second peak of Mountain No. 21, Xia Qing, the captain of this mission, stood up first and assigned tasks.

"Team Hu, Chen Zheng, you protect the helicopter; you six can stay in the cabin, or after putting on protective suits and protective masks and bringing weapons, you can move around in a team within a 50-meter range of the helicopter. Tang Huai serves as the team leader, you and Wang Bo are responsible for alerts. Once an abnormality is discovered, Lu Fangchun takes Wu Wencan, and Tan Qi takes Eleven, and return to the cabin immediately."

"Yes!" Tang Huai, who became the team leader, answered loudly.

The helicopter was parked on a low peak, and the vegetation around it was sparse, so there was no place to hide fierce beasts. The risk coefficient for outdoor activities wasn't high, so she could take the children out for a spin.

Lu Lu Fangchun, Wang Bo, and Tan Qi in his group had all participated in the Qinglong Battle Team's special training and Yan Long's special training class, so their combat power wasn't low. Although Wu Wu Wencan looked weak, his top-tier equipment meant that even if a wolf came, it couldn't do anything to him. The only one in the group who needed Tang Huai's extra attention and protection was Little Eleven. This child was very sensible and wouldn't run around when encountering danger.

Therefore, Tang Huai promised with confidence.

Xia Qing nodded and arranged the standing positions for the sampling group, "I'll lead the way, Shi Du carries Brother Song, Yu Shou carries Zhang Zhang in the middle, Brother Dazi brings up the rear, let's go."

"Yes!"

The two strength evolutionists carried the researchers and followed Xia Qing down the mountain, soon disappearing into the dense evolutionary forest.

Lu Lu Fangchun, who hadn't said much along the way, looked at Xia Qing's back, unable to suppress his inner excitement, "I must train hard and improve my combat power!"

Only after improving his combat power would he have the qualifications to form a team with Sister Qing to carry out missions.

Wang Bo and Tan Qi didn't speak, but their gazes were filled with the same determination and eagerness.

Tang Huai chuckled and cheered them on, "You all must work hard and strive to go on missions with the Alliance Leader soon to earn points."

Little Eleven, standing beside Tan Qi, looked toward the mountain peak more than two hundred meters away, downwind.

The distance between that mountain peak and here exceeded the perception range of her magnetic sense ability, but Little Eleven, who was born and raised in the evolutionary forest, still felt that something was wrong over there.

If it were only her and her mother here, they would hide immediately.

Now, Little Eleven could only remind everyone to be careful. She lowered her voice and said to Wu Wu Wencan beside her, "Brother Wu Wencan, look at that mountain, I just seemed to see a shadow."

"Okay." Wu Wu Wencan looked toward the mountain peak 250 meters away, his fingers touching the temple of his glasses to adjust the focus, and the others also began to scout the mountain peak over there.

Olfactory evolutionist Chen Zheng captured the scent in the wind, auditory evolutionist Tang Huai tilted his head to listen, and visual evolutionists Hu Hu Zifeng and Wang Bo stared intently.

Speed evolutionists Tan Qi and Lu Lu Fangchun were ready for battle.

Fifteen seconds later, Wu Wu Wencan spoke first, "There is animal fur on the rocks on that mountain top; it should have just been rubbed on, and it hasn't been blown clean by the mountain wind yet."

Hu Hu Zifeng also gave the scouting result, "There are indeed a few tufts of animal fur on the sharp rocks of the mountain peak, very likely left by an evolutionary wolf or evolutionary hyena patrolling its territory."

Chen Zheng followed, "Cannot smell the scent of these two kinds of fierce beasts."

"I also can't hear the sound of large animals moving. The sightseeing group leader, auditory evolutionist Tang Huai, spoke last, "Let's observe for a while and confirm the safety of the surroundings before going down to move around."

Hu Hu Zifeng glanced at Tang Huai. This guy was usually unreliable, but he didn't expect him to be quite reliable at critical moments.

Tang Huai, who discovered Hu Hu Zifeng glancing at him, exploded, "Hu Crazy, what are you glancing at?"

Hu Hu Zifeng chuckled, "Glancing at a fool."

Chen Zheng hurriedly smoothed things over, "Brother Huai, Boss, we are teammates now, not opponents, we have to set an example for the children."

Tang Huai snorted and stopped paying attention to Hu Hu Zifeng, leading the team to continue observing the wind and grass movements outside the cabin.

On the other side, the sampling group had a much more relaxed atmosphere. Because the group members all understood that forming a team with Xia Qing in the Southern Wolf Pack territory wouldn't lead to wolf pack attacks.

The six reached the first sampling location quickly. Shi Du and Yu Shou, who had carried the researchers for half an hour, rested on the spot, while Xia Qing and Zhang Zhang Hongda were responsible for alerts, and Zhang Song and Zhang Zhang began sampling.

After Shi Du and Yu Shou recovered, the two of them began to execute alert tasks.

Xia Qing first disinfected the protective gloves on her hands, then put on rubber gloves, and began to execute the sampling task.

Shi Du saw Xia Qing's movements, and his admiration and respect for her rose to a higher level, "Sister Qing, you are truly too awesome; your sampling technique is more professional than before!"

Zhang Song, who was being carried by Shi Du, smiled silently, and Xia Qing felt a heartache. She was indeed more professional than before, but she hadn't reached a professional level yet.

How much was she short of?

Short of one point. Just because she was one point short of a perfect score, she was fined 1500 points by her idol and scolded by her idol.

Because although she had a pair of human hands, her sampling practical operation wasn't as standard as a wolf's!

At 11:30 AM, the sampling group crossed the border between Hui-3 and Hui-1 and entered the 29th mountain domain in the evolutionary forest of the Hui-1 base.

They crossed the base border without needing to submit an application to the Hui-1 base officialdom, because the 27-29 mountain domains of Hui-1 had also been designated as the experimental zone of Territory No. 7.

This mountain domain could only be entered with the permission of the Lord of Territory No. 7 or the experimental zone manager, Xia Qing.

After arriving at the No. 5 danger zone of the 28th mountain, which was the sinkhole area, Zhang Song and Zhang Zhang began to collect samples according to the items on the form.

After Shi Du recovered, Xia Qing also took out the sampling sheet and sampling tube and began to collect samples.

The soil in the No. 5 and No. 6 danger zones within the southern experimental zone grew a colorless, transparent fungus last year that could grow rapidly in ice and snow at minus twenty degrees.

Research confirmed that this fungus was a fungus generated by the evolution of microorganisms in the soil under the influence of trace toxins. It could reproduce rapidly, and it had a certain destructive effect on the ecological environment, but if this fungus was used well, it might be able to improve the cold resistance of crops.

Zhang Tao named this fungus "that fungus" and wrote a national-level project application.

After the project was approved, two researchers from Zhang Tao's group lived in the cave here for more than two months before returning to Territory No. 7 after the ice and snow melted and the temperature rose.

As a soil research professional, Xia Qing's sampling task today included collecting samples from the original habitat of this fungus.

After completing the sampling, Xia Qing told Zhang Zhang Hongda, "I'm going to Mountain No. 27. If they finish sampling, you guys go to the cave laboratory over there to rest at noon, and we'll set off again after I come back."

Zhang Zhang Hongda nodded, "Understood, Sister Qing, don't worry."

Zhang Song knew Xia Qing was going to find wolves. However, he knew Xia Qing definitely wouldn't take him. He raised his head, wanting to instruct Xia Qing to pay attention to safety, but his body lost balance and he lunged forward, being lifted up by Shi Du, who was paying attention to him at all times.

Xia Qing reminded Shi Du, who was inexperienced and used too much force, "Shi Du, you can let go." If he didn't let go, Zhang Song would roll his eyes.

After Zhang Song stood firm, he suppressed the urge to cough, waved his hand to indicate he was fine, told Shi Du not to worry, and let Xia Qing go get busy.

After Xia Qing left the No. 5 danger zone, she rushed at full speed toward Mountain No. 28. Finding the bullfrog that could emit the Yi-element magnetic field was her first mission for this trip.

Entering Mountain No. 28, before she even ran to the area where she discovered the bullfrog last year, Xia Qing stopped abruptly, suppressing the urge to draw her knife and gun, and stood still in place.

An evolutionary wolf with light gray fur and yellowish-brown eyes stood up from its ambush, revealed its fangs, and let out a low growl full of deterrent power toward Xia Qing. Four members of the Southern Wolf Pack appeared one after another, surrounding Xia Qing in the center, full of murderous intent. ===== CHAPTER 1801 =====
