Chapter 221: Look How Capable You Are

Luo Pei replied, "No dangerous aberrant evolved organisms found in Territory One."

Tang Huai replied, "Five low-danger offensive aberrant evolved saplings and shrubs discovered in Territory Two, already cleared."

Beard Feng replied, "No dangerous aberrant evolved organisms found in Territory Three."

Territories Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Nine, and Ten all reported no dangerous aberrant evolutions. Just as everyone thought the Lord of Territory Eight would not speak, Seeing Xin Yu's voice rang out, "A medium-danger aberrant evolved tree vine appeared in Territory Eight, already cleared."

Everyone...

Being able to clear a medium-danger one means the Lord of Territory Eight's abilities and equipment are definitely not lacking.

Tan Junjie pressed, "The inspection team needs to enter Territory Eight to confirm whether the medium-danger tree vine has been completely cleared. Lord of Territory Eight, please grant permission."

Seeing Xin Yu replied calmly, "Granted."

Tang Huai asked curiously, "Xin Yu, what was the attack capability of the medium-danger tree vine in your territory, and how did you clear it?"

Seeing Xin Yu naturally would not reply to such nonsense. Beard Feng started running his mouth, "Some people just can't fix this habit of always paying attention to other people's territories."

Tang Huai immediately cursed back, "You ran into someone else's territory to work for free, and you still have the nerve to talk about me?!"

Beard Feng gloated, "You want to work for free and no one even wants you."

Tang Huai's curiosity was instantly hooked, "You really worked for free? Did you bring your own food too?"

Smelling the braised meat, Beard Feng was in a great mood, "Lord of Territory Three got a yellow-lamp wild boar, we're stewing the pig's head right now, this smell... fragrant—"

Braised pig head meat? Tang Huai swallowed his saliva and asked politely, "Is Er Yong in charge of the wok? Got enough seasoning? I've got a full set here, just trade me half a jin of pig head meat."

Beard Feng chuckled, "Plenty."

Zhang San spoke weakly, "Beard Feng, is Er Yong good at cooking?"

Beard Feng replied, "Er Yong's skills are quite a bit better than the average person. Once the meat is stewed, shall I send some over to you?"

"Walnut meat, upper and lower mouth tips, and ears—give me two small strips of each, just to taste." Today Zhang San clearly hadn't eaten anything to his liking again, and was in a terrible mood.

"Alright, once it's stewed I'll send it right over." Beard Feng immediately agreed. Food sent to Territory Seven would definitely be able to get good medicine back from Xia Qing. In a year of natural disaster, having more good medicine on hand meant having an extra life—who would complain about having too many lives?

Tang Huai took a sip of distilled water, his face full of disappointment, "If I'd known a natural disaster would happen, I definitely wouldn't have chosen archaeology back then."

Tang Heng, who was compiling the crop losses for Territories Two and Twelve, laughed, "Brother, you're only thirty this year. It's not too late at all to study medicine or pharmaceuticals."

After the great biological evolution of Blue Star, although survival crises had increased, human lifespan had also extended. Thirty was still in the stage of ability development, so indeed it was not too late.

Tang Huai shook his head, "It's not an age issue, it's a mindset issue. I can no longer summon the concentration to study comprehensively and systematically."

Tang Heng's hands continued tapping the keyboard, "That's why I really admire Xia Qing. Before the disaster she was from an ordinary family, after the disaster she had no one to rely on. Relying on herself, she's now living much better than us."

Tang Huai leaned back in his chair, tilting his head to listen to the rustling rain outside, and snorted coldly, "I admit she's very strong, but her temper really is foul."

Tang Heng was matter-of-fact, "It's not that her temper is foul, it's that her temper is bad when facing us—because we're surnamed Tang, because this is the Young Lady of the Tang family's territory."

"Our family has been dragged down by Tang Zhengsu and his daughter." After saying this, Tang Huai pulled himself together again, "Fortunately we've found another way out, no longer stuck cooped up in the safe zone. Look how much energy Dad has had lately."

The relationship between their family and Tang Zhengrong and Tang Zhengsu was not something that could be explained in just a few simple words. Tang Heng typed in the last number and pressed save, "The rain seems to be letting up."

The rustling rain was especially sleep-inducing.

Having slept a full five hours, Xia Qing got up, her energy and stamina restored to peak condition. She went downstairs and got to work.

The current aberrant rain level was yellow, and there was no toxic gas in the yard. Xia Qing removed the protective masks from the three wolves and one sheep, letting them be comfortable for a while.

Although there was no toxic gas, the aberrant rain element content in the atmosphere was also not low, enough to affect the animals' emotions. Without the Yishi stone on it, the broken-leg wolf romped around in the sheep shed for a while, then pressed close to the broken-waist wolf and stayed still.

Evolved animals' senses were all extremely sharp, and the broken-leg wolf wasn't stupid either—it must have discovered that the aberrant element content around the broken-waist wolf was low, so it cozied up.

Xia Qing went back inside and took out a satchel, showed the Yishi stone stuffed inside to the broken-waist wolf, then gestured and pantomimed to negotiate with it, "You get the broken-leg one to behave, and I'll put the satchel on it."

The aberrant rain would continue for nearly another sixty hours. The broken-leg wolf was currently the strongest combatant among the three wolves and one sheep. Ensuring its rationality and combat power was an important guarantee for the wolves' safety.

The broken-waist wolf understood, whined once, and lay down on the ground. The broken-leg wolf did the same, though its eyes still glared viciously at Xia Qing.

When Xia Qing reached out to put the satchel on it, the broken-leg wolf didn't move, but let out a low growl and bared its sharp fangs.

"Whine—" The broken-waist wolf bared its fangs, sternly warning the broken-leg wolf.

The sick wolf slowly walked over, raised its thin paw, and stepped on the broken-leg wolf's thick foreleg. Sheep Boss also stepped forward and stood beside Xia Qing.

Three against one, the broken-leg wolf obediently sheathed its fangs. Xia Qing quickly put the satchel on it, then rubbed Sheep Boss's, the sick wolf's, and the broken-waist wolf's heads in turn as a reward, and finally flicked the broken-leg wolf on the forehead, "Broken-leg, don't be ungrateful. This is a good thing, I'm just lending it to you for now."

After flicking its forehead, Xia Qing threw in a sweet date, stuffing rations or jerky into each satchel as a reward. Then she put on her protective mask and began clearing the aberrant grass in the yard.

"Click, click." Xia Qing heard the familiar sound of a satchel clasp being opened, turned to look at the sheep shed, and nearly dropped her jaw.

The broken-leg wolf lay on the ground with its belly up, its thick limbs curled, exposing its soft belly—this was a wolf's posture of submission.

The broken-waist wolf had actually used its front paw to open the broken-leg wolf's satchel, and taken out the jerky it had just stuffed in for the broken-leg wolf. The broken-leg wolf immediately flipped over and lay on its stomach, tearing open the sealed bag to gnaw on the jerky.

Seeing Xia Qing looking over, the broken-waist wolf raised its head and quietly gazed at her.

Xia Qing finally understood: Blue Star's evolution was basically giving brain-evolved animals cheats. The broken-waist wolf's IQ and observation made Xia Qing's liver tremble.

Give it a division's worth of troops and it would absolutely flatten the human safe zone of Hui-Three Base to the ground.

"Click, click."

Hearing the sound again, Xia Qing, carrying aberrant grass, turned her head and saw the broken-waist wolf taking jerky out for the sick wolf too.

A cross popped up on Xia Qing's head. Damn it, she's going to change all the satchels to zipper ones when she gets back. Let's see how clever you can be then!

"Baa~~"

After pulling up another patch of aberrant grass, Xia Qing heard Sheep Boss's coquettish bleat. She turned and found Sheep Boss acting cute toward the broken-waist wolf—it wanted to eat the rations in its own satchel.

The broken-waist wolf didn't help Sheep Boss, but calmly gazed at Xia Qing.
