Chapter 1860

"Caw—"

On a large tree on Mountain 87 in the north of Hui 3, two blue jays standing on the branches called out at the same time, then extended their right claws to the right side of their bodies and raised their left wings.

There are all kinds of birds, big and small, in the evolutionary forest, but this was the first time Zhang Zhang Guoshun had seen a bird strike such an attacking posture. He guessed that these two birds were brain-domain evolutionaries and was just about to find a few pretty pebbles to try, when he was stopped by Xia Qing behind him.

"Lan Yi, Lan Er, you ran here?" Xia Qing didn't know how these two birds recognized her, but being able to meet familiar birds here was a good thing for Xia Qing, so she took the initiative to step forward and greet them.

Zhang Zhang Guoshun's squad...

The two blue jays kept their greeting posture unchanged and lowered their small heads at the same time to look at Xia Qing who walked out.

Xia Qing didn't get up until before dawn this morning, so she didn't exchange food with the red squirrel, the white-eyed raven, and its blue jay younger brothers. These two blue jays striking a greeting posture were waiting for food.

Xia Qing, whose backpack had been emptied by the Xiong Wang, could only take out two dried mealworms from the extra-small packaging bag in her protective suit pocket and throw them into the air.

Seeing the two blue jays catch the worms and fly away, the members of Zhang Zhang Guoshun's squad all widened their eyes. The birds here were not short of food, so why would these two uniquely shaped birds eat the things Xia Qing threw out?

Xia Qing took the initiative to explain, "These two blue jays are from Mountain 49."

The straight-line distance between Mountain 49 and Mountain 87 had already exceeded two hundred miles. Did these birds run over here to find mates? Zhang Zhang Guoshun, who was stationed in this mountain region, took the opportunity to ask Xia Qing for advice, "Sister Qing, are they brain-domain evolutionaries? How did you recognize them?"

Zhang Zhang Guoshun was not a visual evolutionary, and in his view, these birds all looked the same.

Xia Qing answered truthfully, "Recognized by their shape; they shouldn't be brain-domain evolutionaries."

Zhang Zhang Guoshun nodded; the shape of those two birds was indeed strange enough...

After the two blue jays flew away, Xia Qing took out sampling tools, and while collecting various samples, used her magnetic sense evolutionary ability to search for creatures capable of emitting an Yi-element magnetic field.

After spending a full three hours and collecting over forty samples, Xia Qing finally discovered an Yi-element magnetic field at a depth of 0.4 meters underground that was similar in strength and feeling to the evolutionary dung beetle at home!

Because she couldn't rely on magnetic sense to determine whether this creature was an animal or a plant, Xia Qing didn't dare to use a soil sampler, but explored the surroundings calmly.

Then, she discovered a circular hole with a diameter of about 4 centimeters in the grass 30 centimeters to the left of the magnetic field.

Judging from the grass growing on the dirt mound outside the hole, this hole was dug last year, but the entrance was worn very smooth, indicating that animals often entered and exited here recently.

Xia Qing pressed the intercom button, lowered her voice, and asked, "Brother Zhang, is there a smell evolutionary in the squad?"

Zhang Zhang Guoshun pressed the intercom button, "There is a third-level smell evolutionary, Zhu Qing."

"Yes." The third-level smell evolutionary Zhu Qing walked to Xia Qing's side, sniffed the scent at the hole entrance, and reported, "There is the scent of snakes here; it might be a pit viper."

Xia Qing gave Zhu Qing a thumbs up. Being able to give the judgment of a pit viper indicated that Zhu Qing's evolutionary level was already close to level four.

Then, Xia Qing took out a small shovel and began to dig the hole. This work didn't need others to help, because this was what strength evolutionaries were best at.

Xia Qing dug halfway when the fourth-level auditory evolutionary Zhang Dong reminded, "There is movement inside; the snake is coming out."

"Sister Qing, keep digging; I'll catch the snake."

At the moment the pit viper poked its head out to bite the small shovel, the sixth-level speed evolutionary Zhang Zhang Guoshun struck like lightning, grabbed the snake's seven inches, and pulled it out.

It was indeed a small pit viper less than two meters long.

Xia Qing put the snake into the sampling box, continued to dig the hole, put the four dung balls in the four small holes at a depth of nearly half a meter into the sampling box, and then, after sampling the soil here in a decent manner, Xia Qing stood up and went to sample elsewhere.

The prickly ash tree wouldn't sprout until late March, so Xia Qing didn't go to hang around the bare large prickly ash tree where countless birds were squatting. After sampling over a dozen more soil and biological samples, Xia Qing finished the sampling task and led the team back to the helipad.

It was safe after entering the area stationed by the troops. Zhang Zhang Guoshun asked, "Sister Qing, will this Aspergillus evolutionary event trigger a beast tide?"

Xia Qing answered in detail and rigorously, "Today, according to the coordinates provided by Territory 7, we checked dozens of dangerous areas in the Mountain 52-67 region and found high-level evolutionary Aspergillus in three of them. In the next seven days, we need to check twice more to estimate the probability of triggering a beast tide."

Zhang Zhang Guoshun nodded, "We also have four large barrels of No. 3 disaster relief agent here. If Sister Qing needs it, you can send a helicopter to take it."

Xia Qing agreed. After leaving the Mountain 86 region by helicopter, she hovered over the dense forest of Mountain 62, picked up Dagua with a rappelling rope, and accelerated back to the territory in the first northern zone.

She left the territory in the morning and returned at sunset in the evening. On this day, no new high-level evolutionary anaerobic bacteria were detected in the first northern zone. If there were still no new high-risk areas from tonight to tomorrow morning, the disaster relief program for the first northern zone territory could end.

After it ends, the Ninth Center must start construction immediately to catch up with the progress, so that it can build 473 greenhouses before the Qiang rain.

After returning to the territory and putting down Dagua and the dung balls, Xia Qing patrolled the territory, went to Territory 7 to return equipment and send samples, and bought steamed buns for Dagua by the way.

Entering the office and seeing the amiable idol, Xia Qing smiled, "Third Brother, is that giant salamander male?"

Although Xia Qing couldn't catch the giant salamander back, she left a surveillance camera in the rock cave, so her idol could observe the fish through the surveillance.

Zhang San poured a glass of sugarcane juice for Xia Qing with a kind expression and explained, "Its head width is greater than its body width, and there are cheekbone-like protrusions behind its eyes; it is highly likely to be male."

If it's male, it's easy to handle. Xia Qing sat down and took a sip of sugarcane juice, "I'll find an opportunity when the Xiong Wang goes to Mountain 67 to soak in the hot spring to catch the male fish in the cave back."

Zhang San shook his head, "No rush, give me the samples you took in the cave and at the cave entrance first."

Xia Qing found the six sample test tubes, quickly confirmed that the test tubes were very clean and the labels were written without any problems, and then handed them to her idol.

Zhang San took the samples and entered the laboratory, coming out half an hour later. He slumped in a soft chair and introduced the next opportunity to the new human who had already eaten two dragon fruits and a pile of snacks, "That rock cave is the ideal habitat for the giant salamander; there is no need to catch it back. By May, you send the female fish back and let them breed the next generation in the rock cave..."

Before Zhang San finished speaking, he saw the new human opposite him show a disapproving expression and stopped to ask, "Are there natural enemies of adult giant salamanders in that water area? Giant pythons?"

That adult giant salamander was over two meters long and weighed over a hundred pounds. Living in a rock cave where there were only small fish and shrimp in the water, the only thing that could threaten its survival was a giant python.

Xia Qing answered truthfully, "The Xiong Wang likes to eat giant salamanders very much."

"Are you sure the Xiong Wang likes it? The irritating slime secreted by the skin of this kind of giant salamander has the effect of reducing the hunter's appetite." After looking at the new human opposite for two seconds, Zhang San was too lazy to ask and reached out directly, "Video."
