Chapter 511: The Three of Us Should Have a Fight

When Xia Qing finished eating and prepared to leave, Xin Yu gave her two sets of new-material cold-weather suits.

Before Xia Qing could refuse, Xin Yu stated plainly, "These are trial products newly developed by the Chonglian Group, and the cost is about the same as the food you brought over. If you don't mind, when I get the chance I'd like to visit your territory to see the swallows."

Hearing her say that, Xia Qing accepted them. "As long as I'm in the territory, you can come by anytime."

When Xia Qing drove away from Territory Eight, Zhou Zhaoping, wearing a protective suit, walked out of the gatehouse, smiled and nodded to Xia Qing, and watched her leave.

With that bearing, if Xia Qing didn't know Zhou Zhaoping had once been the board secretary of the Chonglian Group, she'd have assumed he'd always been a doorman Xin Yu hired.

Xia Qing drove the micro-tiller back to her own territory, immediately opened the packaging, and changed into the new-material cold-weather suit Xin Yu had just given her.

The suit had excellent elasticity and was very fitted. After pulling on the bulletproof leather jacket over it, Xia Qing walked around the yard and found it really could withstand temperatures below minus twenty degrees.

No wonder Xin Yu had been able to wear her leather jacket and test the bulletproof suit's effectiveness in the yard earlier. Xia Qing increased her range of motion and moved around a few times, discovering that this leather jacket's wearing experience was actually better than the Level-3 field protective suit—though of course a bit worse than the special-grade protective suit. Even so, Uncle Huo's craftsmanship amazed Xia Qing.

"Boss, how do I look?" Xia Qing, wearing the one-piece leather suit, went to show off in front of Sheep Boss.

Sheep Boss, gnawing on corn leaves under the eaves, chewed the foliage expressionlessly, as if she hadn't heard Xia Qing speak.

Xia Qing walked around in front of the sick wolf again. "Lao Er, do I look good?"

The sick wolf immediately opened its mouth. Hahaha.

"Right, I think it's awesome too!" Xia Qing was thrilled. "You two have them too. The three of us change into them and take a group photo."

Before her two companions could react, Xia Qing rushed inside and dug out the high-collar full-coverage protective suits for Sheep Boss and the sick wolf.

To ensure bulletproof effectiveness, every protective leather suit was left uncut wherever possible. Xia Qing's was a one-piece protective suit plus clothing and gloves; the animals' were simpler—just one piece.

Sheep Boss's and the wolf's protective suits also had some differences. Sheep Boss's head was too big, so the back and neck of its suit could be fully opened; the wolf's head was smaller, so the neck had a full ring of snakeskin with only the back openable—when putting it on, the head had to be poked through the leather neck sleeve first.

Looking closely, Xia Qing discovered that the limbs and torso joints of the sheep's and wolf's protective leather suits used the same high-elasticity fabric as hers—damn it, it was all Level-4 protective suit material!

Uncle Huo's products were indeed quality work—too conscientious!

Xia Qing enthusiastically put the full-coverage protective suit on the sick wolf, zipped up the back, and fastened the straps from the front legs and chest to the back. Apart from the head and tail, the sick wolf's entire body was protected by snakeskin.

The most brilliant part of the evolved wolf's protective leather was that it even covered the wolf's paw pads, leaving only the sharp claws exposed.

This suit had been dyed the sick wolf's fur color, so once the wolf put it on, apart from being hairless, there was no other sense of incongruity. The more Xia Qing looked, the more satisfied she was.

"Lao Er, how does it feel?"

The sick wolf wasn't used to this kind of protective suit. After putting it on, it felt somewhat restrained and didn't know how to step forward. But hearing Xia Qing call it, it immediately bared its teeth and hahaha'd at Xia Qing.

Xia Qing rubbed its head and explained in a gentle voice, "This is a protective suit with excellent elasticity and pretty good breathability. The key is it's bulletproof and provides extra mobility—running fast won't feel obstructed. Lao Er isn't used to it yet, but after wearing it a few times it'll adapt."

After saying that, Xia Qing praised it again with great exaggeration. "Lao Er, you look incredibly handsome in this outfit. Oh my god, if Blue Star held a most beautiful wolf contest, you'd definitely reach the very top of the pyramid…"

Under Xia Qing's wild praise, the sick wolf grinned until it started drooling. Because it was cold, the drool quickly froze, forming a row of tiny icicles on the fur around its mouth.

Xia Qing wiped the sick wolf's mouth. Seeing Sheep Boss, who was eating corn leaves, narrow its eyes with an increasingly dangerous expression, she immediately pulled out the sheep's protective suit and held it up. "Oh my god, Boss, look quick, this one's yours! So handsome! I've never seen such a handsome sheep suit! Boss, you'd absolutely stun every ewe on all of Blue Star! Boss, want to try it?"

Sheep Boss chewed its cud without moving, clearly not having heard enough yet.

After Xia Qing's relentless wild output for several minutes, Sheep Boss was finally satisfied. Holding its big head high, it walked over to Xia Qing and signaled her to put it on quickly.

"Here we go!" Xia Qing nimbly put the protective suit on Sheep Boss, then launched into another round of wild praise.

Sheep Boss, feeling uncomfortable in the protective suit, pawed the ground and showed an impatient expression.

To let her two companions know the benefits of the snakeskin protective suits, Xia Qing proposed, "Boss, Lao Er, shall the three of us have a fight?"

After saying that, Xia Qing rushed into the house, grabbed her power-evolver protective gear, buckled on the protective suit's faceplate, and charged outside.

Hearing there would be a fight, Sheep Boss immediately chased after Xia Qing, running outside.

Although the sick wolf was the last to run, it was the fastest, and it sprinted outside the village to wait for Xia Qing. Xia Qing, dressed in a black leather suit, charged over and shouted, "Lao Er, come on!"

Seeing Xia Qing charge at it, the sick wolf bared its teeth, wagged its tail, and waited to greet her. Xia Qing laughed, picked it up, spun around once, and tossed it onto a pile of dead grass nearby.

The sick wolf loved this game and grinned even more happily.

"Baa!"

Sheep Boss, who had run first but arrived last, charged over with its spiral horn gleaming.

"Come on!" Xia Qing roared and charged forward.

"Bang!"

The person and the sheep slammed into each other hard. Xia Qing, whose strength hadn't fully recovered, was sent flying. In fact, even if her strength had recovered, she still wouldn't be Sheep Boss's match in a head-on collision.

This time Xia Qing didn't dodge. Her back slammed hard into the half-broken stone wall of an abandoned house at the village edge, knocking the wall straight down. She felt pain, but was definitely not injured.

Excellent!

Xia Qing stood up from the rubble, wiped the dust off her faceplate, and charged at Sheep Boss again. The sick wolf didn't join the fight, just ran back and forth around the person and the sheep, running faster and faster.

Xia Qing seized the chance, grabbed Sheep Boss's two horns, and hurled it violently away.

"Bang!"

"Crash!"

Sheep Boss also smashed through a stretch of rubble. Standing up, it shook its head, found that it didn't hurt much, excitedly let out a "moo," and charged fiercely at Xia Qing.

"Xia Qing, what are you doing? How did you two start fighting again?" Xia Qing and Sheep Boss were having too much fun fighting that even Tang Huai, whose territory was separated from Territory Three by one territory, heard it.

Xia Qing, in the middle of fighting, didn't have her walkie-talkie or phone with her and couldn't hear Tang Huai's shouts at all. But Zhou Xun, inside the northern wasteland grass wall of Territory Two, heard it. He immediately scrambled up from the snow hollow, ran to the southern wasteland grass wall of the territory, and shouted across the passage, "Boss, you there?"
