Chapter 747: The Second Time Participating in Yan Long's Special Training
With this handsome giant wolf that had given her a big gift package, Xia Qing was extremely patient. She asked softly, "What does Big Brother Giant Wolf want?"
It won't leave—Xia Qing herself has what it wants here.
Handsome Giant Wolf stared at Xia Qing with its ice-blue eyes for a few seconds. Seeing that Xia Qing was just standing there dumbly, it slowly walked over.
Handsome Giant Wolf was the tallest wolf Xia Qing knew. It stood one point six meters at the shoulder, and its height when standing was around two point four meters—about the size of an ordinary horse from before Blue Star's evolution.
But this was no flat-hoofed, flat-toothed herbivore. This was a top predator with sharp teeth and claws, with outstanding running and leaping ability. Even though Xia Qing was on good terms with Handsome Giant Wolf, even though it looked a little comical carrying the hanging chair on its back, seeing it walk over still made Xia Qing hold her breath without thinking.
Seeing Broken-Waist Wolf standing beside her without moving, hearing Ram Boss still methodistically chewing cud behind her, Xia Qing ordered herself not to step back, not to draw her gun. The one in front of her was no ordinary giant wolf—it was the Lucky Wolf that had given her Yishi worth tens of millions of points.
The two-point-four-meter giant wolf walked right up to her. At one point seven seven meters, Xia Qing could only look up at its head and asked softly again, "What does Big Brother Giant Wolf want?"
Handsome Giant Wolf slowly lowered its head, sniffed Xia Qing's waist, and looked at her hand.
These two gestures were very clear. Xia Qing understood: "Big Brother Giant Wolf wants to drink the top-grade nutrient solution that quickly restores stamina?"
On New Year's Eve, Xia Qing had killed Tang Zhengsu, taken Handsome Giant Wolf's New Year gift package, and on the way back to her territory riding on its back, she had once given it some top-grade nutrient solution. She had mixed it with water from the military canteen hanging at her waist and held the pouch up for it to drink.
After Handsome Giant Wolf's stamina quickly recovered, it had stared at Xia Qing's hand to show it wanted more. Xia Qing told it it couldn't drink too much at once, and that if it wanted more in the future it could come to Territory Three, and it could drink for free without giving any supplies.
From these two gestures, one could tell this wolf was smarter than she had thought. It had a good memory and could sense that the water Xia Qing had just given it didn't quickly restore stamina, which was why it was asking Xia Qing for top-grade nutrient solution.
"Big Brother Giant Wolf, wait a moment. I'll get it for you right away."
Xia Qing ran into the terraced fields, plucked a handful of spinach leaves, juiced them, added a drop of nutrient source and some pollution-free spring water, and brought it to Handsome Giant Wolf.
Handsome Giant Wolf finished the top-grade nutrient solution and even licked the bowl clean. Xia Qing smiled. "Handsome Wolf Brother, whenever you want to drink top-grade nutrient solution again, just come find me."
Handsome Giant Wolf's face was perfectly calm, showing no reaction at all.
The watching Broken-Waist Wolf walked over, sniffed the bowl, and looked up at Xia Qing.
Xia Qing understood: "You want some too?"
Broken-Waist Wolf showed its little fang tips again.
Heh.
I let you follow Big Brother Giant Wolf to dose the western wolf pack, and you want a set of canine protective gear from me, and now you want to drink top-grade nutrient solution for free?
Xia Qing really wanted to charge it, but this brain-evolved wolf was very proud. Just now, when Xia Qing praised Handsome Giant Wolf for jumping high, it had to walk outside the wall and jump even higher. Now she gave Handsome Giant Wolf the nutrient solution for free but charged this one—would this wolf be happy about it?
Xia Qing still couldn't quite figure out how a brain-evolved wolf's mind worked, and didn't want to lose the big picture over something small. She went back inside and made another serving of top-grade nutrient solution and brought it out. "Broken-Waist, drink up. After you finish, you must take Little Bao Mao with you, and go with Handsome Giant Wolf over there…"
Xia Qing pointed accurately toward where the western wolf pack lived. "Go dose the western wolf pack. Keep them from getting sick, and defend against the monkey troop."
Broken-Waist Wolf finished drinking and licked the bowl too, before leaving together with Handsome Giant Wolf.
Xia Qing went back inside, put away the Yishi, and went back to sleep.
In the surveillance room of Mountain Forty-Nine, seeing a silver-gray giant wolf pass under the camera carrying a huge bundle on its back, Hu Zifeng muttered to himself, "What supplies did the wolf pack trade with Xia Qing? It's so big—no wonder they need a giant wolf to haul it…"
Passing through Mountain Forty-Nine and arriving below the Third Peak of Mountain Fifty, Broken-Waist Wolf raised its head and let out a low wolf howl.
After a short while, a flash of white light appeared halfway up the mountain. Little Bai Mao quickly came to Broken-Waist Wolf, sniffed the two evolved wolves, then climbed onto Handsome Giant Wolf's back.
The three wolves delivered the hanging chair back to Mountain Sixty and set it down at the cave entrance where the wolf pups were being fed.
The Alpha Wolf and Wolf Lao Er came out, sniffed it, and dragged the hanging chair into the cave. Broken-Leg Girl caught Xia Qing's scent, bared her fangs in a grin, and howled unhappily. The other three she-wolves glanced up, then went back to sleep.
Thirteen pups of various sizes curiously circled the strange thing that had been dragged in. Before long, the hanging chair with its grass cushion was crammed full of little wolf pups.
After resting a moment at the cave entrance, Broken-Waist Wolf, Handsome Giant Wolf, and Little Bai Mao set out again, heading for the western wolf pack's camp.
The next day, Xia Qing got up early, fed all the living things in the territory—even the red squirrel family got clean spring water. Then she handed the territory over to Er Yong and met up with Yan Long and Tan Qi near the north gate of Northern Zone One.
Xia Qing asked, "Sister Yan, where are we going today?"
Yan Long answered, "Mountain Fifty-Two."
Mountain Fifty-Two, huh… Xia Qing's eyes lit up. "Sister Yan, I just got a vehicle yesterday. How about we drive there, leave the car at the Third Peak of Mountain Fifty or north of Mountain Forty-Nine, and then walk the rest of the way? The first half of the road is pretty good—we can drive."
If they drove, the training volume on the road back and forth wouldn't be enough. Yan Long didn't want to agree, but seeing Tan Qi's sparkling eyes, she still nodded.
After the Catastrophe, there wasn't a single flat road outside the Safe Zone. No matter what vehicle you drove, it bumped terribly. Adults felt miserable riding in it and wanted to throw up, but little kids loved it.
The instant Yan Long nodded, Tan Qi couldn't help jumping up. "Yeah!!!"
Xia Qing laughed too. "I'll go back and get the car. Be right here!"
Seeing Xia Qing return, open the garage, and drive her beloved car out, Ram Boss immediately demanded to get in.
After the person and the ram drove out of the territory's south gate and turned west toward the West Buffer Zone, the noise drifted into Territory Two. Tang Huai, who was sleeping, rolled over and cursed, stuffing a pillow over his head.
After the person and the ram arrived at the north gate of Territory Three, Tan Qi saw the evolved ram sitting in the car and her eyes went wide. Sister Qing's bad-tempered evolved ram is joining the training too?
Ram Boss stared at Yan Long, its eyes narrowing dangerously.
Xia Qing immediately got out, opened the door and lifted Ram Boss down, then swiped open the north gate and let it return to Territory Three.
On the way here, the person and the ram had already discussed it. So Ram Boss didn't throw any tantrum, returned to the territory, ran under the big camphor tree, and guarded its most important food.
Er Yong? Already up the tree, begging for mercy.
The modified passenger seat wasn't fit for people. Yan Long and Tan Qi sat in the back and buckled their seat belts. Xia Qing drove out of Northern Zone One's territory and headed east along the buffer zone outside the wire fence.
The North Buffer Zone was on a hillside with big changes in elevation. When Xia Qing drove downhill, the car wasn't fast, but her heart raced. When she reached the bottom and crossed the ford over the stream, she was still extremely careful. After finally getting through the ford, she had to climb the slope north of Territory Four. Xia Qing wasn't skilled at handling the car and stalled twice.
Tan Qi's eyes were still sparkling.
When the off-road vehicle finally crawled up the north slope of Territory Four, Yan Long discussed with Xia Qing: "How about I drive from here, and you drive on the way back?"
At Xia Qing's current speed, driving was actually slower than running.
