Chapter 1809: Wu Liu enters Territory No. 7
Xia Qing is a young, unmarried, dual-system high-level evolver and a top-tier sniper. She is also a young cadre highly valued by the top leaders—the Base Commander and the Director of the Agricultural Bureau. Anyone who isn't a fool can see that her future is bright.
Therefore, more and more people want to hitch a ride on Xia Qing's boat and use her light to head toward a bright future. They use endless methods: sending her points and supplies directly, wanting to exchange benefits with her, trying to pull her into small cliques or cults, attempting to seduce her, or currying favor with her by suppressing those who used to bully her...
In their eyes, a survivor like Xia Qing, who climbed up from the very bottom by stepping over corpses, is very easy to manipulate: as long as they hold her up high with flattery and favors, giving her the opportunity to obtain survival supplies and step on those who once humiliated her, her mindset will surely change.
Xia Qing is indeed a survivor who climbed up from the very bottom. When she first gained power and strength, she did lose her way. In October of the tenth year of the natural disaster, having just learned some sniping techniques, she dared to take three wolves and confront the ten-man hunting team of the Raging Fire Battle Team head-on.
If Zhang San hadn't intervened, Xia Qing, the Alpha Wolf, the Broken-Waist Wolf, and Lao Er would have all perished in that loss of direction. The Northern Wolf Pack would have launched a beast tide because of this, becoming enemies with the humans of the Northern First District, fighting to the death. Moreover, the catastrophic consequences triggered by that incident have not yet been completely eliminated even now.
Zhang San made Xia Qing carve a stone tablet with her own hands and plant it on Mountain No. 50, made her participate in the hazard management of Mountain No. 50, and made Xia Qing firmly keep that incident in her heart, constantly reminding herself to remain calm.
That is why those tricks that worked repeatedly on others do not work on Xia Qing. Her combat power is now high enough, and her heart is tough enough; those people's little tricks are simply not worth looking at in Xia Qing's eyes.
If they can't win her over, do they resort to force?
If they could resort to force, would they still need to waste so much effort on Xia Qing?!
Zhang San reminds the New Human who is gnawing on a dragon fruit to be careful of these people's despicable methods, "The level of estrogen in your body is recovering, and your physiological system has developed the ability to respond to sex-related stimuli. If you suddenly experience physiological reactions such as a racing heartbeat, blushing, and inexplicable hot flashes when getting along with someone, wanting to have physical contact with the person in front of you, it is very likely that the other party has used evolved biological pheromones that can induce desire. Do not resist it or fight with the other party; you should withdraw to a well-ventilated area as soon as possible."
Xia Qing has heard of this kind of pheromone and asks seriously, "Third Brother, can the air toxin detector you gave me detect this kind of pheromone?"
"No." Zhang San directly tosses Xia Qing three thumb-sized spray bottles and two new air filter cartridges for her protective mask, "When in contact with people, try not to take off your protective mask if you can. If you must take it off and your body experiences the aforementioned changes, immediately withdraw to a ventilated place, spray your mouth and nostrils twice, and it will take effect in thirty seconds."
"Third Brother..."
After Zhang San coldly tells this eccentric person, who is about to throw him onto the pyramid again, to shut up, he reminds her not to abuse the medicine, "This medicine suppresses more than just pheromones. Use it at most twice a month. If you use it too much, your hormone secretion will be affected, and the medicine you are currently taking, which is worth two million points, will have been used in vain."
Xia Qing answers seriously immediately, "Don't worry, I will definitely not abuse it."
After Xia Qing leaves Territory No. 7, she drives to deliver New Year's gifts to Big Brother Wu. The allies who bought New Year's goods from the safe zone are discussing enthusiastically what to eat and how to spend the New Year these two days.
The walkie-talkie inside the Wu family fortress is also on, but there is no New Year atmosphere in the Wu family. The family of three and the two dogs are all very serious. The youngest, Wu Wu Wenjian, doesn't know what happened, but he also feels the abnormality and hugs his mother's neck, refusing to let go.
"Brother Six, is Sister-in-law there? I brought some homemade green-light maltose from home, and I'd like to send some over to you."
Hearing Tang Huai's cheerful voice coming from the walkie-talkie, Wu Wu Chengyu pressed the button and replied in a gentle voice, "I'm here. Many thanks. I'll have Wu Wencan come over to your place to pick up the candy. Please also have you and Tang Heng taste the green-light cheese from Lan Yi that we brought back."
Hearing there was green-light cheese, Zhang San came online, "Wu Six, how much green-light cheese is left?"
Wu Wu Chengyu replied, "There are two packs left. I'll have Wu Wencan send one over to you in a while."
Zhang San happily agreed, "Good. I have some green-light dragon fruit here; I'll have the child bring a crate back for you to eat."
"Many thanks, Third Brother."
With both big shots present, the allies immediately came online to exchange New Year's gifts with them.
While everyone was chatting lively, Wu Wu Chengyu stood up, "Sister Qing, I am ready."
In order to avoid suspicion, Wu Wu Chengyu had to enter Territory No. 7 tonight, fasting and taking medication in advance to prepare for tomorrow's surgery.
During this period, Wu Six went to Territory No. 7 around noon every day to collect his oral medication. Xia Qing would carry him over now, perform the surgery tomorrow morning, and by the time Wu Wu Chengyu failed to appear tomorrow noon and those watching in secret discovered something was wrong, the surgery should be almost finished.
The plan was to exploit this time difference.
Shi Shi Youning also stood up, "I'll have to trouble you, Sister Qing."
"Many thanks, Auntie Qing." Wu Wu Wencan also thanked her, while Wu Wu Huan and Wu Le stood to the side, looking at Xia Qing with lingering fear.
Wu Wu Wenjian also raised his little head to look at Xia Qing and said a low thank you.
"It's no trouble." Xia Qing handed the little one a pretty hair clip she had bought from the Safe Zone and smiled, "Sister-in-law, you all can rest easy at home and prepare the New Year's Eve dinner."
Shi Shi Youning sent Xia Qing, who was carrying a large backpack, out of Territory No. 11 alone. When she turned back to return to the castle, her eyes were red.
Xia Qing brought Wu Wu Chengyu back to her own territory. She first distributed the New Year's gifts she had brought back to the members of Hu Hu Zifeng's squad before going home, letting Wu Wu Chengyu enter the house to rest on the living room sofa, and then she distributed the gifts she had brought back to her companions.
Sheep Boss received a new flavor of rations, Da Gua and Er Gua received new clothes, and the blue-faced little monkey received a natural, side-effect-free dye that could turn its conspicuous golden fur into the color of the evolution forest.
Seeing that Xia Qing had three brain-domain evolution monkeys at home, Wu Wu Chengyu suppressed all his shock and asked gently, "Sister Qing, is Lao Er not in the territory?"
Xia Qing replied, "It went to the evolution forest."
Just as Wu Wu Chengyu was about to continue asking what equipment Lao Er was wearing, he heard a territory lord calling Xia Qing on the walkie-talkie, wanting to send her New Year's gifts.
Xia Qing left Wu the Big Shot at her house and went out to open the door to receive and send New Year's gifts.
Counting Wu Wu Chengyu's Territory No. 206, there were now 24 territories in the Northern First District. Except for those who had already exchanged New Year's gifts, the rest came in pairs to send New Year's gifts to Xia Qing. Even Territory Lord No. 23, Xu Xu Cunchao, whose leg had not yet fully healed, came over sitting on the back seat of a bicycle.
Everyone belonged to the Territory Alliance, so Xia Qing did not refuse anyone. For everyone who sent her a New Year's gift, she returned one, not even leaving out the Hazard Investigation Team.
Taking advantage of this warm atmosphere, Tan Tan Junjie also distributed the gifts sent by the Territory Management Department to each territory. Just as the Northern First District was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the New Year, Zhang San came online again, "Xia Qing, do you still have sweet potatoes there?"
When Third Brother came online, it meant he was about to set off. Wu Wu Chengyu slowly stood up.
Xia Qing pressed the walkie-talkie button, "Yes, how many does Third Brother need?"
Zhang San was in a very good mood, his voice sounding light and quick, "Twenty catties, to make candied sweet potatoes. I'll have Zheng Chen come over to pick them up."
There were many people in Territory No. 7; making a dish of candied sweet potatoes required dozens of catties of sweet potatoes and a large bag of sugar.
Xia Qing responded, "Third Brother, can I send the sweet potatoes over to you and, by the way, mooch a meal before coming back?"
Everyone...
Zhang San snorted coldly, "Bring two more catties of sweet potatoes."
"Alright, many thanks, Third Brother." Xia Qing put down the walkie-talkie, drove to the south gate of Territory No. 7, and steadily carried Wu Wu Chengyu and the sweet potatoes into Territory No. 7.
