Chapter 1880

The first harmful rain period of the twelfth year of the natural disaster, 2:30 PM.

Tang Huai, who was in the isolation period and unable to participate in disaster relief, could only hold his phone and pay attention to the disaster situation everywhere, reporting the latest news in the lord's channel:

"Did everyone see? In that last bout of red-level harmful rain, the loss rate of overwintering wheat due to harmful evolution in the eastern and southern territories actually exceeded 30%!"

The Lord of Territory No. 5, magnetic-sense evolved Yuan Yan, who was patrolling the territory in the rain, came online, "It's only the 12th hour, and the wheat seedlings have already lost 30%. By the time the harmful rain period ends, I estimate the sheds will be empty."

The voice of the Lord of Territory No. 10, Shi Zhong, sounded somewhat exhausted, "The loss of wheat seedlings on my side isn't much. How about in everyone else's fields?"

"It's normal wear and tear on my side, definitely not exceeding 3%." Kuang Kuang Qingwei, who was pulling up Huanggan 39 in the territory, was overjoyed, "Our crab-shell fertilizer has an excellent inhibitory effect on anaerobic bacteria. Everyone, take more photos. After the harmful rain, we'll increase our publicity, expand production, and make a big profit!"

To expand production, they had to salvage more marine crustaceans.

The high-spirited Tang Huai spoke again, "Brother Ming, after the rain, I'll go to the seaside with you to catch crabs, okay?"

In Territory No. 11, Di Ming, who had just knocked down an aggressive harmful evolutionary wild paulownia, stepped on the still-trembling wild paulownia vines, pressed the walkie-talkie button, and responded happily, "Sure. If we're lucky, we might even get to take a ride on a sea-Didi and bring back some valuable seafood."

Hearing about earning points, Wen Wen Nengjie, who was pulling weeds in the shed, immediately perked up, "Brother Ming, are people already doing business on the sea? What kind of boats are they driving?"

Di Ming explained, "It's not people, it's brain-domain evolved orcas and dolphins. If we run into them when they're in a good mood, we might get a free Didi ride."

"It can be like that?!" Wen Wen Nengjie asked, "What if they're in a bad mood?"

In the rustling rain, Di Ming, standing in harmful grass over half a person tall, pressed the walkie-talkie button again, "Then it depends on who has higher combat power. The loser has no right to be in a bad mood."

Wen Wen Nengjie, who had been struggling to survive at the bottom, understood this sentence all too well, "Brother Ming is right!"

The rain stopped. The lords, who had been chatting while working, stopped talking and seized the opportunity to patrol their territories, clearing out high-risk evolutionary tree species like Huanggan 39, evolutionary wild paulownia, and Phellodendron. Once these trees grew up, they could very likely destroy the entire territory.

In the small building of Territory No. 3, Sheep Boss, who was lying on the tatami chewing its cud, heard the rain stop, stood up, and decided to go to the bathroom.

It swiped open the entrance door and walked out, stopping under the eaves, sniffing the air in the wind carefully.

"Awoo—ooo———"

On Mountain No. 55, the handsome giant wolf, wearing an Yi-stone and a protective suit while patrolling the territory, looked up and let out a long howl.

Hearing the handsome giant wolf's howl, the alpha wolf, Second, and several mother wolves picked up the young that were crawling everywhere and retreated to the innermost part of the cave.

On Mountain No. 22, the old wolf standing on the cliff also looked up, sniffing the air in the wind carefully.

"Thump, thump, thump—"

The lead sheep of Territory No. 3 turned and returned indoors, rushing upstairs at high speed.

Xia Qing, who was sleeping in bed, heard this movement, immediately jumped up, and opened the door.

"Baa!!!" Before Xia Qing could ask, Sheep Boss let out an urgent cry, telling Xia Qing to escape with it.

Seeing Boss hiding in the corner of the room on the first floor, Xia Qing immediately pressed the walkie-talkie button, "Hail might be coming, everyone put down the straw mats immediately. Fast! Tang Huai, contact Captain Tan. Brother Brother Yue?"

"Received, acting immediately." Brother Yue Brother Yue Haiying responded.

"Good!" Tang Huai contacted Tan Tan Junjie.

The lords who heard Xia Qing's order acted immediately, lowering the straw mats for the sheds; no one doubted the accuracy of Xia Qing's judgment.

Even if Xia Qing was wrong, they could just roll the straw mats back up. If the hail really arrived early and they didn't lower the straw mats, the entire shed would be smashed to pieces!

"Qiangzai, hide in the nest and don't move." Xia Qing carried Sheep Boss, rushed out of the room, jumped onto the off-road vehicle, and stepped on the gas, rushing out over the harmful grass that was already one and a half meters high.

The plucked weasel poking its head out of the sheep shed saw Xia Qing running and squeaked anxiously.

Dagua and the blue-faced monkey in the laboratory heard the engine sound of the off-road vehicle and peered out through the window. Except for the overwhelming harmful grass, the two little monkeys couldn't see anything.

Territory No. 3 had 17 sheds and 2 greenhouses, of which the rainproof cloth and straw mats of 10 sheds were already lowered. The other 5 sheds were planted with overwintering wheat, 1 greenhouse was planted with vegetables, and 1 greenhouse was planted with honey-source plants, and the straw mats had not been lowered.

Lowering the straw mats would raise the temperature inside the shed, which would have an adverse effect on the growth of the crops inside.

Now, they had to lower the straw mats as quickly as possible!

Territory No. 3 currently had three people on duty, and two people were resting in the small room in the conference room; there wasn't enough manpower, and everyone was at different distances from the sheds, so Xia Qing had to rush over to support them at the fastest speed, lowering all the straw mats before the hail fell.

"Boss, wait for me in the car."

Xia Qing parked the off-road vehicle by the greenhouse and instructed Sheep Boss. As she rushed toward the greenhouse, Tan Tan Junjie began broadcasting on the loudspeaker that hail was coming, telling everyone to take disaster prevention measures as quickly as possible.

Xia Qing rushed toward the breeding greenhouse and the beekeeping greenhouse, quickly cutting the straw ropes one by one with a knife.

After the straw ropes holding the straw mat rolls broke, the straw mats wrapped in old rainproof cloth on the greenhouse began to roll down, unfolding and spreading over the greenhouse rainproof cloth.

The straw mats and the anti-hail nets spread over the mats served to weaken the impact of the hail and protect the greenhouse.

After Xia Qing finished cutting the straw ropes for the two greenhouses and confirmed that the coverage of the lowered straw mats was qualified, she turned and rushed toward Shed No. 9 in front of the greenhouse.

Xia Qing carried a knife, stepped on the dense harmful grass, and rushed forward at full speed. Wherever she passed, rolls of straw mats began to roll down from the top of the shed, covering the rainproof cloth.

The distance between Xia Qing and Chen Cheng, who was cutting ropes from the other end of Shed No. 9, was only five meters left. When there was only one straw rope left, Jing Kuan's warning sound came through their walkie-talkies.

"Protective umbrella, fast!"

"Hail has arrived, everyone..."

"Baa—"

"Clang—!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Before Jing Kuan's words in the walkie-talkie were finished, Tan Tan Junjie's announcement had just sounded on the loudspeaker, and the call of Sheep Boss in the off-road vehicle hadn't yet faded, when hailstones began to fall.

The whole world was left with only the sound of hail hitting and the urgent calls of Sheep Boss.

The hail hit the iron umbrella on Xia Qing's head, making a metallic trembling sound; it hit the oil umbrella Chen Cheng had opened, the straw mats, and the greenhouse rainproof cloth not covered by the straw mats, making dull thumping sounds.

At the same time, Xia Qing and Chen Cheng cut the last straw rope.

But the hail was too dense; the last three rolls of straw mats were directly pinned down by hailstones of various sizes and couldn't fall down; the two rolls of straw mats on the left and right sides of this roll, which had already fallen halfway, were also pinned down by the hail.

On the rainproof cloth not covered by the straw mats, the first hole was quickly smashed by the high-hardness, high-speed hail, followed immediately by the second!

Watching, the overwintering wheat she had worked hard to plant for four months was about to be destroyed by the hail!

"Go in and patch the rainproof cloth!"

After the seventh-level strength-evolved Xia Qing, carrying an iron umbrella, roared, she grabbed the cut straw rope and climbed up the greenhouse arched frame made of hardness-evolved bamboo.

Chen Cheng, who couldn't stand steadily because of the hail, immediately turned around and ran toward the entrance of the greenhouse, stepping on the large and small ice balls all over the ground.
