Chapter 652: Searching for death snakes

When Xia Qing carried the snake box to the north gate, the level-seven strength-evolved person Huo Zhun was already waiting outside the iron mesh wall.

People from the Chonglian construction team who were installing the iron mesh wall not far away looked over curiously, but after seeing Xia Qing walk out, they immediately lowered their heads and worked busily.

The No. 3 Lord, not to be provoked.

Seeing Xia Qing carry out such a large snake box, Huo Zhun was also quite puzzled. "Sister Qing, how many snakes are in here?"

Hmm? Why did he change his address?

Xia Qing was expressionless and replied calmly, "A dozen or so grass snakes, but half a box of soil was put inside."

Putting soil inside was to make the snakes live comfortably and hatch small snakes earlier, so she would have a steady stream of snake meat.

As a result, a death snake appeared in the box, and the snakes raised for over a year couldn't be eaten anymore. Without these snakes, she could catch and raise more. What was important was to quickly confirm the evolution type of the small green snake and confirm whether the disaster elimination program needed to be launched.

Xia Qing handed the bag containing the death snake to Huo Zhun. "Brother Huo, be careful, it's alive."

"Understood." Huo Zhun took the bag and hung it on his waist, lowering his voice. "Many thanks."

He was thanking Xia Qing for her suggestion yesterday. Just yesterday evening, Zhang San, protected by Huo Zhun and Ji Li, met the Territory Management Department and Chonglian people in the No. 7 Territory and mentioned the No. 11 Territory matter.

Because there were people from the Chonglian construction team more than 200 meters away, Xia Qing didn't ask much, just nodded slightly and watched Huo Zhun carry her snake box away quickly by jumping.

"Elastic evolved person!" Lu Yuhui exclaimed and ran over, whispering, "It's best if Miss Xia doesn't leave the territory these two days."

Chonglian construction team member Jiang Qin was caught, and the chairman of Chonglian was alarmed and came in person. Although Lu Yuhui, as the construction team leader, didn't know what had happened, she knew this matter definitely wasn't simple.

"Understood, many thanks." Xia Qing thanked her and returned to the territory, immediately contacting Hu Zifeng.

Hu Zifeng also attached great importance to it. "I'll report it immediately, Chen Zheng and Chen Cheng will go to the No. 3 Territory right away, be careful yourself."

Twenty minutes later, Zhang San's serious voice sounded in the Lord channel. "Tan Junjie, Hu Zifeng, are you there?"

Tan Junjie responded quickly. "I am."

Hu Zifeng followed. "I am, Third Brother, speak."

Zhang San ordered calmly, "Tan Junjie, turn on the broadcast loudspeakers in the northern first zone. The following content needs to be broadcast to everyone in the northern first zone."

Tan Junjie responded. "Received. The 24 high-pitched loudspeakers in the northern first zone have been turned on."

Tan Junjie's voice came from the intercom and the loudspeakers installed on the No. 2 Territory northern signal tower. Sheep Boss, who was eating grass, immediately lifted its head and looked around, the Plucked-Fur yellow weasel digging for frogs by the pond also stood up high, and Little White-Fur in the sheep shed turned over, protecting its pups under its body.

The yellow weasel pups, which were almost a month old, had grown twice as large, and Little White-Fur's long body couldn't cover them completely anymore.

Xia Qing, who was currently checking for dangers inside the sheep shed, immediately soothed the mother weasel and her kit in a soft, gentle voice, "Little White Fur, don't be afraid. I'm here, it's alright."

"A high-risk evolved organism—death snake—has been discovered in the No. 1 Territory of the northern first zone. According to the 'China Sudden Natural Disaster Response Law,' the disaster elimination program is now confirmed to be launched in the Hui No. 3 northern first zone territory and the 49th Mountain."

"According to the provisions of the 'Response Law,' this disaster is commanded by Zhang San, the person in charge of the P3 laboratory in the Hui No. 3 No. 7 Territory, who is closest to the disaster occurrence site and has the qualification to command disaster elimination. During the disaster elimination period, I have the right to mobilize all mobilizable forces in the Hui No. 3 Base to eliminate the disaster at the fastest speed."

This familiar announcement immediately pulled the lords of the 1st—10th territories back to the night of the end of November in the tenth year of the natural disaster, when the Liehuo hunting team used poison gas bombs to trigger a beast tide, and also made the 11th—26th lords who were doing farm work straighten their backs and hold their breath.

Death snakes that could release death synthesis poison were more terrifying than poison gas bombs and beast tides. Because in the eyes of the vast majority of people, death synthesis poison was unsolvable; if you touched it, you would die.

Tan Junjie responded immediately. "Investigation team received, obeying the commander's mobilization."

Hu Zifeng responded. "49th Mountain received, obeying the commander's mobilization. Qinglong combat team captain Yang Jin and Luo Pei have set out from the safe zone and will arrive at the 49th Mountain within two hours to participate in disaster elimination."

"Very good." Zhang San ordered calmly. "From now on, no one in the northern first zone and the 49th Mountain is allowed to drink water or eat food until the emergency situation is lifted."

"Everyone in the territory, including the Chonglian construction team, must immediately change into level-three or higher field protective suits. Those without level-three or higher field protective suits must immediately wear the best protective clothing available and take refuge in a safe area, and can only go out after the emergency situation is lifted."

"After wearing level-three or higher field protective suits, the investigation team and each territory must immediately conduct a danger investigation of the territory they are responsible for. If a death snake is discovered, capture it immediately. Do not touch the bump on the death snake's head, otherwise, the death synthesis poison will leak, contaminating the water source and soil. If the venom touches the skin, it will cause poisoning."

"Investigation team, immediately take samples of drinking and irrigation water in each territory and mark them well to be sent to the No. 7 Territory for water quality testing."

"Hu Zifeng, do you allow the disaster elimination personnel I dispatched to enter the 49th Mountain?"

Hu Zifeng responded immediately. "Allowed."

Zhang San ordered next, "After searching the No. 3 Territory, No. 3 Lord Xia Qing will enter the 49th Mountain with the No. 7 Territory personnel to conduct a carpet search of the area within three kilometers of where the death snake was discovered."

"Received." Xia Qing pressed the intercom button and replied calmly. Her voice echoed over this territory for the first time through the loudspeaker, scaring the red squirrel in the tree hole in the third zone into trembling.

Yan Meng of the No. 14 Territory slowly lifted his head, and a vicious voice slowly overflowed from his mouth, which was missing a few teeth. "Xia... Qing!"

"Maa—" Sheep Boss, who had run home, stuck tightly to Xia Qing's side, seeking protection.

The Plucked-Fur yellow weasel carried a frog and rushed back to the sheep shed to protect its companion and pups.

"Boss, don't be afraid, this is the sound of the high-pitched loudspeaker, the same thing as the loudspeaker used when migratory birds passed through last year, just the sound is louder and it's hung a bit higher." Xia Qing coaxed her companion softly and put a protective mask on it.

According to the commander's requirements, personnel in the territory must wear protective suits. Although Sheep Boss wasn't a human, it also had to be protected.

Sheep Boss's two spiral horns were too large to wear a fully wrapped protective mask. But when a high-risk disaster occurred, a fully wrapped protective mask was safer. Therefore, Xia Qing asked Huo Lei to modify a fully wrapped protective mask for Sheep Boss using a dog protective mask.

This protective mask could protect all parts of Sheep Boss's head except for the spiral horns, and then paired with Sheep Boss's snakeskin protective suit, the protective effect was first-class.

After Sheep Boss was dressed in the protective suit, Xia Qing started spraying insect repellent outside the sheep shed and then instructed the yellow weasel family inside. "Plucked-Fur, Little White-Fur, a death snake has appeared in the territory, stay inside and don't come out, it's very safe inside."

Why could Xia Qing confirm that there were no death snakes in the sheep shed?

Because she could use magnetic sense to capture death snakes.

Before, Xia Qing had noticed that the emerald-green small snake was not right, it was just that she didn't know why it wasn't right at that time, but now she knew.

After instructing the yellow weasels, Xia Qing asked the old Sheep Boss, "Boss, are you staying in the sheep shed with Little White-Fur and the others, or are you following me? It's very safe in the sheep shed."

Sheep Boss stood by Xia Qing's side, without any intention of entering the sheep shed. Obviously, it believed that it wasn't as safe in the sheep shed as it was by Xia Qing's side.

"Okay, Boss is following me." Although she didn't understand why Sheep Boss had such a big reaction to the high-pitched loudspeaker, Xia Qing still closed the door of the sheep shed and took Sheep Boss to carefully search other areas.

After searching the wasteland village where she lived, Xia Qing handed the territory over to Chen Zheng and Chen Cheng, and she had to rush to the 49th Mountain to search for death snakes with the No. 7 Territory people.

Xia Qing was about to walk to the north gate, but Sheep Boss still followed her tightly, refusing to separate from her. ===== CHAPTER 653 =====
