Chapter 1978: The Tragic Taste Evolver

~8 min read 1,507 words

"Qing sister!!!"

After hearing that the helicopter patrolling the northern evolutionary forest had returned to Mountain No. 49, Tang Huai drove his flashy off-road vehicle to the north gate of Territory No. 3 in a hurry, waited for a full 21 minutes, and only felt relieved when he saw Xia Qing walking out of the evolutionary forest with a honey badger hanging on her leg.

Xia Qing, wearing a single-sided translucent protective mask, raised her head, looked at Tang Huai inside the north iron mesh wall, reached out, and took off the little flat-headed badger hanging on her leg.

"Clang!"

After the little flat-headed badger landed, it rushed toward Tang Huai, slapped the iron mesh wall with a claw, and roared with its sharp little teeth exposed.

After Tang Huai took a roasted meat strip out of his protective suit ration and handed it to this fat badger that was always full of energy, he looked at Xia Qing who was walking over.

For some reason, Tang Huai felt that Xia Qing's posture was very similar to his sister Tang Ning when she was angry. The only difference was that his sister would usually be holding a stick or a long knife at this time, while Xia Qing had nothing in her hands.

However, Xia Qing, who had nothing in her hands, also had explosive combat power.

Tang Huai restrained his legs that instinctively wanted to run away. After Xia Qing shook off the honey badger and swiped her face to enter the north gate, he stepped forward and asked, "Qing sister, I just found out that your bounty has been raised to 4.5 million by Blue Blood. Did you meet any bounty hunters on this trip? You didn't get hurt, did you?"

Xia Qing, who didn't meet any bounty hunters to earn extra money but instead suffered a major loss, responded calmly, "No."

"That's good." Tang Huai breathed a sigh of relief, "I didn't delay your business by calling, did I?"

Tang Huai called Xia Qing immediately after seeing the bounty, fearing that she wouldn't see the news and would run out to patrol the evolutionary forest again. After the call was hung up as soon as it was connected, Tang Huai knew Xia Qing was busy, so he hurriedly sent her a message to remind her to pay attention to safety.

After stuffing another meat strip to the fat badger that was scratching the wall, Tang Huai walked toward the north gate of Territory No. 3 with Xia Qing, reminded her to pay attention to safety, and whispered, "Qing sister, can you reply to my message if you are not particularly busy in the future?"

Not receiving a message, Tang Huai was worried all morning, fearing that something would happen to Xia Qing.

Xia Qing took out her work phone from her pocket and showed the QR code, "That phone broke as soon as it was connected, so I couldn't reply. You add this number of mine, and send me a message to this number if you have anything in the future."

A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. Xia Qing decided to completely separate her private number from her work number. Besides the allies of the Blue Star Alliance, her private number only added six humans: the idol, Zhang Shi, Xin Yu, Yang Jin, Luo Pei, and Yan Long.

"Okay!" Tang Huai added Xia Qing's second number smoothly, "Does Qing sister want to buy a new phone? I have a way here."

"No need." Her private phone can only be exchanged with one person.

After returning to her territory, Xia Qing distributed the gifts she brought back to her companions and immediately drove to Territory No. 7 to eat lunch and exchange phones.

Seeing Xia Qing walking in wearing a single-sided translucent protective mask, Zhang San, who hadn't woken up for long, turned around, took out his own bowl and chopsticks and Xia Qing's rice basin from the disinfection cabinet behind him, and asked lazily, "Is Little Boss Duan's special training class open for business again?"

"Yes, it's the first time it's open after the Qiang rain." Xia Qing put the food bucket she brought over on the table before taking off her protective mask.

Seeing the five-centimeter-long cut on Xia Qing's left cheek that almost scratched her eyeball, Zhang San's heart skipped a beat, and he snorted, "Are you making a catastrophe couple-style injury with Yang Jin?"

Yang Jin was injured on the right cheek, and Xia Qing was injured on the left cheek, which indeed counts as a catastrophe couple-style injury.

Xia Qing grinned twice and turned to wash her hands by the idol's sink, which was clean enough to make people slip.

Zhang San carefully wiped and disinfected the food bucket, opened the lid, scooped a bowl of noodles, poured sauce on it, and poured the rest into Xia Qing's rice basin, and asked coldly, "Was your face hit by the handsome giant wolf?"

Xia Qing shook her head, "No, I was scratched by a branch when I teamed up with the handsome giant wolf to challenge the head wolf."

Zhang San glared at this new human, "You want to be the wolf king?"

"The handsome giant wolf wants to be, I don't. I haven't fought against the head wolf, I just want to see how big the gap is between me and the top combat power in the northern evolutionary forest."

The gap is very big. Without using weapons, she and the handsome giant wolf couldn't beat the Queen even if they teamed up!

Zhang San was too lazy to even complain and started eating slowly.

"Ping sister's craftsmanship is really amazing!" Xia Qing finished eating a basin of noodles and asked curiously, "Third Brother, is Ping sister a taste evolver?"

Zhang San, who was eating noodles, responded.

In the catastrophe years when food is extremely scarce, taste evolvers may be the most miserable type of all evolutionary types.

Xia Qing held the dragon fruit and sighed, "When you first met Ping sister, she was thinner than you, right?"

That's not true. Zhang San swallowed the noodles in his mouth slowly and introduced his intersection with Ge Ping, "No, she was a food R&D engineer in a large enterprise before the catastrophe, and worked in the food quality appraisal department of Hui-1 after the catastrophe. Relying on the medicine I prepared for her to reduce taste sensitivity, she lived okay."

No wonder the idol always has delicious food. It turns out the chef in his territory is a food R&D engineer! Xia Qing took a bite of dragon fruit and imagined a beautiful future, "When our days get better, we will open a food processing factory and let Ping sister return to her old profession."

The genetically modified experimental subjects were exposed, and the human group is about to set off a big storm. In order to deal with this storm, Zhang San fought all night with his medicine R&D team, then remained silent for two seconds, and asked: "You didn't see the news sent by the Base Commander to the group?"

The new human who was present all night seemed to be unable to feel the pressure, went to milk the wild boar and fight with wolves in the morning, came to him to eat noodles and fruit at noon, and planned to open a food processing factory with a relaxed feeling, which made Zhang San suspect that she didn't look at her phone and didn't follow the progress of the genetically modified dog incident.

What group? The group pulled by the Base Commander? Who is in it?

Xia Qing, who originally wanted to brush more favorability before entering the topic, seized this suitable opportunity to enter the topic directly, "My phone is broken, I didn't see it. Third Brother, can I exchange a new encrypted phone with you again?"

Zhang San pulled out a tissue and snorted, "Your phone was grabbed and broken by a wolf?"

"Not a wolf, it's a bear." Xia Qing remembered the scene where her phone was scrapped and still felt a pain in her heart.

She finally understood how Dagua's headset was broken before, and also understood why this shrewd monkey insisted on exchanging her second-hand headset when returning to the evolutionary forest in the morning.

The bear king, this pit-father brain-domain evolver, still hasn't figured out until now that the sound from the phone doesn't pose a threat!

Greedy for small gains and suffer big losses, Xia Qing sold her second-hand Bluetooth headset to Dagua for 960 points, but scrapped an encrypted phone worth points.

What makes Xia Qing even more heartbroken is that the reason for this phone scrapping is that she overestimated the brain-domain evolution level of the bear king, so she couldn't blame anyone, monkey, or bear, and could only silently take out 30,000 points to exchange for a new phone.

Why is it 30,000? The confidential phone has been updated, and the price has risen!
