Chapter 426: Meat That Boosts Resistance

After Xia Qing soothed the wolf pack and watched them return to Wolf Valley, she brought the smug Goat Boss home and found that Yan Long and the other two had already cut over four meters of snake meat.

With things having blown up like this, Xia Qing felt a bit awkward, but before she could open her mouth to apologize, Huo Zhun changed the subject.

"Xia Qing, have you seen the weasel that hangs around with that pack of wolves? Does it have any features that make it recognizable at a glance?"

"Yes. The corners of its mouth curl up slightly, as if it's always smiling. Because it's timid, its whiskers are always trembling. Brother Huo, if you run into it in the Evolution Forest, be sure to steer clear—its attack methods are extremely powerful." After Xia Qing answered, she disinfected her long blade and began chopping the snake meat with a clack-clack.

Neither Xia Qing nor Yan Long were talkative people, but Da Ya and Huo Zhun could really chat. While cleaning up the python, Xia Qing listened to them tell many amusing stories and ways to prepare snake meat. Once they finished, Huo Zhun and Yan Long together hauled the python meat and python skin back from the north gate.

Da Ya wiped his hands clean and cheerfully told Xia Qing, "Let me see your phone. Third Brother asked me to switch it to anti-eavesdropping mode."

Xia Qing immediately unlocked her phone and handed it to Da Ya.

Da Ya noticed that Xia Qing was still using a phone manufactured before the Catastrophe, and that it had held up this well after all this time was no small feat.

After the people from Territory Seven left, Xia Qing called over the Beard Feng Squad, handed over the 250 jin of snake meat to be traded to Yang Jin, then passed another bag of meat to Beard Feng. "This is high-level Evolution Green-Light meat, hardness evolution. I set aside forty jin for you."

Xia Qing kept a thousand jin of snake meat, set aside 500 jin for herself and the Sick Wolf, and the remaining 500 jin was for trading—and only to be traded to her "friends."

The Green Dragon Squad and Xin Yu's share still had 150 jin left. Xia Qing had already worked out the distribution: Beard Feng Squad 40 jin, Tan Junjie Squad 20 jin, 5 jin per territory for the Territory Alliance—25 jin total—and the remaining 65 jin would be made directly into jerky, stored as precious supplies.

Apart from Territory Fifteen, the members of Xia Qing's Territory Alliance certainly had never eaten meat from a high-level Evolution animal. The effects of eating it would surely be very obvious, able to significantly boost their resistance.

Especially the mother and son of the Zhao family in the neighboring territory—Xia Qing hoped they could raise their resistance, withstand the Harmful Rain and environmental pollution, and live a few more years, because Xia Qing didn't want to switch neighbors.

Beard Feng hadn't expected his squad to get a share and was overjoyed. "How many points per jin?"

"500," Xia Qing explained. "Third Brother says this snake meat has extremely high nutritional value."

"500 points isn't expensive. Green-Light meat of this grade—you can't buy it even if you have the points. Xia Qing, thank you." Beard Feng immediately transferred the points to Xia Qing.

The public price of high-level Evolution Green-Light meat is 300 points per jin, but that's the price for high-level Evolution Green-Light poultry raised at the safe-zone breeding center. Beard Feng had bought that kind of meat before, and after eating it, it hadn't boosted his evolution ability at all.

High-level Evolution Green-Light giant python meat—forget Xia Qing selling it at 500 points, even if she sold it at a thousand points per jin it would be snapped up in an instant. Because this is genuine, Evolution Forest-original high-level Evolution Green-Light meat.

Er Yong, who had come along with him, was grinning so wide his mouth nearly reached the back of his head. Why so happy? This is high-level Evolution Green-Light meat!

What does eating meat like this mean? It means boosting the body's resistance to environmental pollution, and it means it might further promote the body's evolution!

Both of these are guarantees of being able to live better and longer.

Seeing them so happy, Xia Qing kindly reminded them, "Don't get your hopes up too high—it's not guaranteed to promote evolution."

Er Yong answered with a smile, "If we don't eat it, there's not even a possibility. Thank you, Sister Qing, for thinking of us when you have something good."

That Green-Light python really was big enough, but if it had been caught by the Green Dragon Squad, the amount each of them could get would definitely be less than what Xia Qing was giving them.

Besides the portion for Beard Feng's Squad, Xia Qing also prepared 20 jin for Tan Junjie's investigation team, and 5 jin per territory for the Lord Alliance, asking Tan Junjie to deliver them.

Xia Qing's only condition for selling them the high-level Evolution Green-Light meat was this: it could only be eaten by themselves or their families to boost resistance; they could not leak the information or resell it.

Actually, Xia Qing didn't need to say this at all, because anyone who got high-level Evolution Green-Light meat that could boost resistance and might even promote body evolution—even a fool wouldn't be willing to sell it, let alone a normal person.

Qi Fu took the meat, called his wife home from the greenhouse, and in a lowered voice instructed her, "I'll go keep an eye on things at the greenhouse and keep working. Freeze half of this meat with the ice blocks we stored in the cellar last night, and dry the other half. Starting tonight, you drink a bowl of meat porridge every day."

Yuan Yan disagreed. "No, we eat it together!"

Qi Fu firmly refused. "You eat it—your ability is more important."

Inside Territory Five, Kuang Qingwei made the same choice as Qi Fu. "Your body was badly run down these past few years. You eat all this meat and build your foundation back up. If it triggers an evolution ability, our child will live a much easier life than us."

Zhu Li threw her arms around her husband's neck and gave him a fierce kiss on the cheek. "Thank you, hubby!"

Inside Territory Ten, Shi Du firmly rejected his parents' distribution plan. "We eat it together! You two need the resistance boost more than I do. Anyway, if you won't eat it, I won't take a single bite either—even if it goes bad!"

Inside Territory Fifteen, Tan Junjie patted his old comrade's shoulder. "This is from Xia Qing for you. Sister Qiqi's portion is with me."

Inside Territory Four, Zhao Ze hugged the meat and sobbed. If only he had met Xia Qing a few years earlier—maybe he could have triggered an evolution ability, his dad wouldn't have died, and his mom's arm wouldn't have been chopped off...

Inside the greenhouse of Territory Three, Xia Qing, having finished fertilizing and turning the soil, was silently tidying up the field ridges. The meritorious Goat Boss, who had pulled the plow, lay beside her, eyes half-closed, chewing its cud.

The Sick Wolf walked over to Xia Qing and looked up at her.

Xia Qing paused, rubbed the Sick Wolf's head. "Wolf Lao Er is back? I'm fine. I just realized I'm really too weak, and I'm thinking about how to get stronger."

"Baa." Goat Boss squinted and gave a bleat, indicating agreement with Xia Qing's view.

Today, Xia Qing truly recognized the gap between herself and top-tier experts. "I asked Sister Yan. She's not a speed evolver, but her attack speed is so fast I can't react in time."

A while back, Xia Qing had been happy that after half a year of training, she had reached the level of a two-and-a-half level speed evolver on her own.

Only after crossing hands with Yan Long did Xia Qing truly feel her weakness.

Slow—she really was too slow. Not just her running speed, her reactions were slow too. No wonder Luo Pei said she had to train hard and reach the level of a four-level speed evolver before she qualified for real combat.

The way she was now, going would just be feeding herself to the enemy.

In other words, without the Beard Feng Squad's protection, if Xu Pin sent experts to capture her, Xia Qing wouldn't be able to escape at all.

To survive, she had to train desperately and get stronger!

This winter, she was determined to train with Yan Long!

The Sick Wolf nuzzled Xia Qing's leg, then began pawing at the dirt, trying to help her pile up the field ridges. Xia Qing stopped the Sick Wolf from being more of a hindrance than a help, told it to go rest with Goat Boss, and after she finished the ridges herself, she began selecting vegetable seeds.
