Chapter 1938: Mangrove Forest

When the helicopter tied with giant eagle claws flew over the mangrove protective belt, there was an eight-person team below, replanting tree seedlings cultivated by the base. Two of them were responsible for digging pits and planting tree seedlings, and six were standing around responsible for guard duty.

The ecological species in the mangrove forest are extremely rich, including many Qiang-evolutionary tree species, animals, and microorganisms with strong aggressiveness. If you are not careful, you will lose your life here, so you must be careful to guard against it.

Hearing the sound of the helicopter approaching, the team member who was digging the pit inserted the shovel into the soil, raised his head, waved his arms vigorously, and greeted the people on the helicopter.

Di Ming on the helicopter asked, "Sister Qing, is that person waving his hand a visual evolutionary?"

Xia Qing, who was aiming at the ground with a sniper rifle and performing defensive duties, replied, "That is the sixth combat power of the Beast Team, Sang Cheng-lin, his public ability is level-five power evolution."

Hearing that it was Sang Cheng-lin, a famous leaderboard master in Hui-3, Di Ming didn't dare to be negligent, "He recognized that this is the Qinglong Team's helicopter, waving his hand is very likely to want to get close, but it cannot be completely ruled out that he is suspicious. Tong Ge, report to Xie Dui and let him send someone to keep an eye on it."

Among the personnel in the mangrove forest, there must be those who came out to watch and inquire about news under the guise of planting trees.

If these people notice any clues, it won't be so easy for the people in Territory 11 to send the ore back safely next time.

This batch of new material ore is too important for the Jiaolong Special Warfare Team, which often performs missions near the coastline.

Guan Tong responded and reported the situation to Xie Yu, the deputy captain of the Qinglong Team in the mangrove forest.

Qinglong Team members coming out to perform tree-planting missions were not voluntary applications, but tasks apportioned by the base.

As the first team in Hui-3, Qinglong had many mandatory indicator tasks every year, which were previously led by Yang Jin, Luo Pei, or Tang Zhou. This year, the main force of Qinglong was injured or busy, so Xie Yu, who was sitting in the safe zone, became the captain who went out to perform missions.

After the helicopter arrived at the mangrove protective belt area responsible for by the Qinglong Team, Xie Yu in the forest also raised his head and waved his hand.

Xia Qing was here for the first time, and Xie Yu finally got the opportunity to form a team with Xia Qing to perform a mission, and was very happy.

Hu Zi Feng skillfully piloted the helicopter to land on the open space in the center of the houses arranged in a "hui" shape according to the guidance of the ground personnel.

This circle of sturdy stone houses built with stones and new material cement was the primary processing plant, warehouse, and dormitory of the organic fertilizer factory of the northern first district territory alliance.

The crabs and shellfish caught from the sea by the retired soldiers in Territory 11 were first sent to the primary processing plant to remove the salt on the crab shells and shells and the organic residues inside, and then transported back to the deep processing plant in Territory 12 by helicopter to be made into high-quality organic fertilizer.

After the helicopter cabin door opened, Wu Wu Lianmin jumped down first, turned his head and greeted Xia Qing, "Sister Qing, want to go down to the sea to play?"

Although Wu Wu Lianmin's land combat strength was not as good as Huo Zhun and Di Ming, his water combat strength was above these two. The sea was his home field.

Taking advantage of the time before Wang Man and Huo Zhun returned, Wu Wu Lianmin and Di Ming planned to go down to the sea to get some shellfish and send them to the processing plant.

Di Ming also invited Xia Qing to go around in the sea, "If you are lucky, Sister Qing can also catch high-value seafood."

Xia Qing had participated in Yan Long's special training, so there were no large sea beasts in the near-sea area, so the danger coefficient of her going down to the sea was not high.

"No, I'm going to the mangrove forest to take samples." Xia Qing didn't mean to go down to the sea.

What for? To compare whether her diving suit is stronger than the destroyers in the ocean, or whether their claws are harder, or to compare whose bones are harder with the speed and hardness evolutionary fish in the water?

Xia Qing didn't want to take this risk. She came here this time, not only shouldering the sniper defense mission, but also the sampling mission issued by her idol, and must complete the collection of samples before dark.

Wu Wu Lianmin laughed happily, "Then Sister Qing must be fast, it will be high tide in a while, tonight is a big tide."

After high tide, the mangrove forest will become more dangerous.

Hu Zi Feng, Guan Tong, and Er Yong, who were responsible for protecting Xia Qing, walked toward the mangrove forest with her.

When the four arrived at the edge of the mangrove forest, Xia Qing saw countless tree branches, either straight or curved, standing densely in the mud around the mangroves, each with a small hole at the top.

These things that look like tree branches are the breathing roots of mangroves.

Mangrove forests are soaked in seawater for nearly half the time every day, and the mud is oxygen-deficient, so these trees have evolved vertical breathing roots to absorb oxygen from the air.

Looking at the small holes at the top of the breathing roots breathing, Xia Qing felt that this tree, which released a Qiang-element aggressive magnetic field, was like an evolutionary monster.

Hu Zi Feng reminded Xia Qing not to touch the trees in front, "Sister Qing, the tree with duck-foot-shaped leaves and black trunk four meters ahead is a high-risk aggressive plant, its juice is highly corrosive and can paralyze nerves."

Xia Qing asked, "This kind of tree is one of the tree species I need to sample today, I want to get some of its juice to take back, does it have physical attack means?"

"No physical attack means, but there are many small animals near its breathing roots, which have formed a symbiotic relationship with the tree. Although they are small, their group combat attack power is not weak."

Xia Qing responded, just as she carefully stepped onto the soft and moist mudflat of the mangrove forest, she heard a gurgling sound under her feet.

She immediately retracted her foot and stepped back, looking down to see dozens of fiddler crabs and mudskippers drilling out of the mud holes she stepped on.

The thumb-sized fiddler crabs stood up their eye stalks and raised their big claws, fleeing at high speed. The mudskippers, slightly larger than the fiddler crabs, stared with protruding eyes for a few seconds before drilling into the mud water again.

Hu Zi Feng reminded, "Most of the fiddler crabs with black stripes on their backs are hardness evolutionaries, and the claws of high-level hardness evolutionaries can pierce the boot tubes of protective boots below level four."

Xia Qing responded, bent down to avoid the attack of the mudskippers, and quickly took samples of the silt here.

By the way, she also caught two beautiful fiddler crabs and stuffed them into the sampling test tube.

Her idol Zhang San hadn't been to the seaside for many years, so Xia Qing wanted to bring more samples back for him to test for fun.

Seeing Xin Yu? She is the technical instructor of the organic fertilizer factory and comes over once or twice a month.

Not bring some seafood back to give to the animal companions in the territory?

Can't. The evolution of marine organisms is completed under the combined action of cosmic rays, nuclear pollution, and Qiang-Yi elements. The radioactive element content in the organisms here generally exceeds the standard, losing edible value.

It is precisely because the main natural enemy—humans—has lost its fishing, that marine organisms have become extremely rich in species during the natural disaster years.

Fierce survival competition forces amphibious marine organisms to constantly try to climb onto the shore to find living space.

If the mangrove protective belt is destroyed, amphibious marine animals will expand their territory at a speed visible to the naked eye and invade the land. ===== CHAPTER 1939 =====
