Chapter 1916: Her Soul Is Not Afraid of Being Seen

After Xia Qing landed, Zhu Li, who was executing a warning mission with a machine gun, immediately ran up and asked, "Sister Qing, how many intruders were caught?"

Xia Qing responded, "One, it's an evolutionary monkey."

Zhu Li's beautiful eyes widened, "Is it those beasts from the Hui Sixth Clearing Squad again?!"

On February 10th, 18 members of the Hui Sixth Clearing Squad led a tamed monkey and two tamed birds to invade the Northern evolutionary forest of Hui Third, and were discovered by the reconnaissance birds of the Hui Third military.

Xia Qing was urgently conscripted by the Hui Third base commander and rushed to the Northern Plateau to join forces with the military personnel stationed in the Northern evolutionary forest to successfully intercept the Clearing Squad.

That battle resulted in 16 casualties among the Hui Third military.

After interrogating the captured members of the Clearing Squad, the Hui Third base confirmed that the intruder who drove a helicopter and brought a tamed monkey to invade the Northern evolutionary forest of Hui Third on January 14th this year was also sent by the Clearing Squad.

The intruder who drove a helicopter to the Northern Bear Group territory of Hui Third to catch bears last year was also sent by the Hui Sixth base!

Hui Third base commander Qi Qi Zhongye was furious, reported these three vicious incidents, and publicly spoke out to the Hui Sixth base commander. The people of Hui Third were also furious, arguing about one topic after another on the internet, demanding that the Hui Sixth base compensate for the losses of the Hui Third base.

Today's morning news of the Hui Third base was still broadcasting this matter.

So hearing Xia Qing caught another evolutionary monkey, Zhu Li's first reaction was that the Clearing Squad did it.

"Only caught one monkey, it can't be confirmed yet."

Xia Qing responded, took the basket, and began to load soil. Zhu Li immediately carried the gun on her back and came over to help.

Because the strength-type evolvers hired by Xia Qing and the four mechanical dogs from Territory No. 23 were very capable, Xia Qing only carried twelve loads of soil after returning to the Fifty-Ninth Mountain, and filled the planting troughs belonging to her in the hidden valley.

The mission of the strength-type evolvers of the Qinglong team ended, and they directly crossed the valley between the Fifty-Ninth Mountain and the Forty-Ninth Mountain and returned to the Qinglong team training ground.

After Wu Wu Wencan checked the state of the mechanical dogs, he called his father to send four batteries over by drone for the mechanical dogs to replace, and let them continue to transport soil.

After Xia Qing and Wen Wen Nengjie rested for a while, they also began to help other allies carry soil.

Members of the Northern First District Territory Alliance exchange supplies and hire personnel from other territories to work, all settled at market prices, but in reality, not everything can be calculated so clearly.

For example, today, no matter which territory's people were loading soil under the hillside, people from Territory No. 5, Territory No. 6, and Territory No. 15 would go to help; after everyone carried the soil baskets into the hidden valley, whoever was in the valley would help pour the soil into the planting troughs, and then everyone would go down the mountain and load soil together.

After Xia Qing filled her planting troughs, she still had energy, so she continued to carry the shoulder pole to transport soil. Wen Wen Nengjie, who had sucked two servings of fresh spinach juice nutrient solution, also carried the shoulder pole and followed behind Xia Qing.

Xia Qing just pretended not to hear Wen Wen Nengjie's heavy breathing, and didn't see his legs starting to tremble, stepping up step by step.

Xia Qing knew very well why Wen Wen Nengjie did this.

Back then, she was also like this, gritting her teeth and carrying heavy supplies, following behind the Luo Pei squad step by step, fearing that she would fall behind and lose the opportunity to form a team with the third-in-command of the Qinglong team.

At that time, Luo Pei didn't persuade Xia Qing to rest, but just slowed down the marching speed and increased the number of rests along the way. Now, Xia Qing, carrying the shoulder pole, also slowed down the mountain climbing speed.

Entering the hidden valley, after pouring the soil into the planting troughs in the planting area of Territory No. 6, Xia Qing didn't return immediately, walked to her own planting area, and began to arrange drip irrigation pipes on the planting troughs filled with soil.

After the planting area in the hidden valley was changed to three-dimensional multi-layer planting, it was no longer possible to directly divert water to irrigate the farmland.

After Huo Lei, Tang Heng, Zhu Li, and Jiang Ying held several meetings, they used death-grass, hardness-evolved bamboo poles, and several large bamboo buckets hanging on the stone wall, plus the valves and water splitters made by Huo Lei, to assemble a manual drip irrigation system.

When making this system, the R&D team members went to Xia Qing's territory twice to visit the fully automatic drip irrigation system on the terraced fields in the northern buffer forest of Territory No. 3. Because the drip irrigation system here in Xia Qing's territory was more advanced than the standardized greenhouses in Territory No. 1 and Territory No. 12.

The main reason Xia Qing didn't participate in the research and development was not because she was very busy, but because she was afraid that after her idol knew about this, he would make her write a paper on drip irrigation.

The main pipe of the irrigation system was made of hard bamboo-wood poles, and the drip pipes laid on the planting troughs were made of a type of death-grass with hollow main stems.

Territory lords who had been farming for two years not only mastered farming techniques but also tried to develop new uses for various death-grasses.

Death-grass with smooth stalks and natural wax on the surface had strong waterproof properties, and after being dried, it was made into straw mats for heat preservation in greenhouses; death-grass that was soft, non-absorbent, and had strong toughness was woven into windbreak nets; death-grass with poor toughness but high hardness and hollow stems was used by everyone to poke small holes with needles and used as drip irrigation pipes.

Although the service life of this death-grass drip irrigation pipe was limited, it had to be replaced every two or three months, but it didn't cost a single point, and even the glue used to bond the death-grass drip irrigation pipes was made by the territory lords by boiling death-evolutionary pumpkin vines.

Blue Star has at least three death-grass disasters every year, and death-grass grows in swaths without sowing. As long as you are diligent enough, you don't have to worry about not having enough drip irrigation pipes and windbreak nets.

After Xia Qing laid out the drip irrigation pipes, she also conveniently planted carrot seeds, and then she opened the valve of the drip irrigation system, watching the spring water that had been filtered once in the large bamboo bucket on the stone wall drip into the planting troughs drop by drop along the bamboo poles and drip irrigation pipes, infiltrating into the soil one or two centimeters below.

After adjusting the valve twice, the speed of the water droplets was neither fast nor slow, just right.

After adjusting the water speed, Xia Qing glanced at Qi Fu, Yu Shou, and Wen Wen Nengjie who were panting at the hot spring outlet, moved a stool and sat between the planting trough and the stone wall in her planting area, watching the water droplets condense and drip one by one, infiltrating into the soil one or two centimeters below.

In the valley, there were the laughter of allies, the roar of the air filtration system, and the gurgling sound of the Chuan moss cultivation pool...

Xia Qing closed her eyes, breathed the moist air full of plant breath, listened to the sound of water droplets dripping, as if she could feel the carrot seeds just buried in the soil absorbing moisture and expanding little by little.

Zhang Xun, holding the hydroponic record book, stood by the water pool, quietly looking at Xia Qing. Her casual sitting posture, the soft lines of her face, relaxed eyelids, and slightly upturned corners of her mouth all revealed a kind of calm satisfaction that permeated from her bones.

The appearance of a person when they are extremely relaxed is the true appearance of their soul. Xia Qing's soul is not afraid of being seen.

Countless images she didn't want to recall but couldn't forget flooded into Zhang Xun's mind, and she raised her hand to press her forehead.

Xia Qing, sitting behind the planting trough, opened her eyes, turned her head, and looked at Zhang Xun, who was standing by the hydroponic pool with a painful expression.

The moment Xia Qing opened her eyes, Tang Huai, who was staring at her blankly, turned his head subconsciously and looked at Wu Wu Wencan, who was testing the performance of the mechanical dog. Wu Wu Huan, the brain-domain evolutionary dog squatting beside Wu Wu Wencan, immediately stood up and blocked between Tang Huai and Wu Wencan.

Xia Qing glanced at Tang Huai and Wu Wu Huan, stood up and picked up the soil basket, and Qi Fu, Wen Wen Nengjie, and others also stood up and took their baskets, followed Xia Qing to leave the hidden valley, and continued to carry soil. ===== CHAPTER 1917 =====
