Chapter 778: Unknown Element and Secondary Evolution

~8 min read 1,483 words

Xia Qing, who had rested for a few minutes, returned to the house full of energy, changed into indoor shoes, and went to the second floor to check the two columns of test results on the electronic screen.

The harmful and Yishi element content in the juice of ordinary bean seedlings and magnetic sense abnormal bean seedlings was equivalent, but there was an extra type of unknown element in the body of the abnormal bean seedlings.

It wasn't that Xia Qing didn't know what the element symbols on the display screen represented, but the words "unknown element" were displayed directly on the screen.

This type of element should be the reason for the abnormality of the bean seedlings.

Xia Qing immediately sent a message to Ji Li: Brother Ji, is Third Brother's surgery finished?

She didn't want to disturb her idol's rest at this time, but the Green-Lamp soybeans she planted were exchanged from the Liehuo Battle Team, so any abnormality had to be taken very seriously.

Zhang San called directly and asked listlessly, "What kind of plant is this sample?"

The Yishi element detector could only detect various components and contents in the sample, but couldn't determine the variety. To determine the variety of a plant, methods such as plant DNA testing, spectral analysis, or chemical fingerprinting were needed. So even a big shot like Zhang San couldn't determine what plant Xia Qing was testing just by seeing the test results.

But the die-hard fan Xia Qing still found the highlight on her idol, "Third Brother is really amazing, you knew I was testing a plant sample, not an animal sample, just by seeing the picture I sent!"

Zhang San...

Xia Qing, who had a strong desire to survive, didn't wait for her idol to scold her and continued, "This is the batch of Liehuo soybean seeds you got last year that grew into bean seedlings. The sample on the right feels wrong, but the harmful element content is normal, so I picked ordinary leaves as a comparison sample. You see, the sample on the right detected an unknown element."

Zhang San asked, "Components that even the Yishi element detector can't detect are likely harmful synthetic or Yishi synthetic substances. How do you feel it's wrong?"

Zhang San asking this meant that he was safe there and it was safe to speak. Xia Qing replied accurately, "I judge it to be an aggressive harmfully evolved plant based on feeling, but it has no physical or chemical attack methods, and the plant morphology hasn't produced any visible changes. How are the soybeans on your side?"

"There is no abnormality reported yet, I will send someone to test it now. You mark the abnormal plants, don't move them for now, and continue to observe."

"Understood."

"Keep a close eye on Territory No. 9 for me."

"Understood! Third Brother, don't worry, guarantee to complete the mission." Although she didn't know why her idol's tone suddenly had fire, Xia Qing hung up the phone and immediately used three Green-Lamp bamboo shoots and two pieces of compressed rations to coax Sheep Boss to stay and watch the house. She drove the off-road vehicle alone and rushed to Territory No. 9.

Tang Huai had already cleared the passage within Territory No. 9. Xia Qing drove the off-road vehicle and searched Territory No. 9 with magnetic sense, vision, and hearing. She met three evolutionists sent by Territory No. 8 and Chen Zheng, who were conscientiously performing the harmful snake search mission.

After patrolling the entire territory and clearing a few common low-risk aggressive vines and shrubs, Xia Qing parked the car by the ruins of the house in the center of Territory No. 9.

Her micro-tiller was shrinking in the house with only half a roof left to avoid the rain. Tang Huai and Chen Cheng were standing in another house that was still intact, waving at her from the door without a door.

Xia Qing parked the car and walked in, finding that besides Chen Cheng and Tang Huai, there was another evolutionist from Territory No. 8 resting in the house.

After greeting each other, Xia Qing let Chen Cheng drive the micro-tiller to find his brother Chen Zheng, and then return to Territory No. 3. This place had been searched three times, and no harmful snakes were found again, so there was no need for so many people to stay here.

After the Chen brothers left, Xia Qing turned her gaze to Tang Huai and the evolutionist from Territory No. 8.

Before she could speak, Tang Huai said, "I just finished my work, I'll rest here for a while before leaving. By the way, the diesel in the fuel tank is not enough, I poured a bucket of oil from the rainproof cover into it."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, the patrol passage was opened very well." After praising Tang Huai, Xia Qing turned to look at the thin and tall evolutionist from Territory No. 8.

This person was even more straightforward, "The territory owner gave the four of us the task of assisting Miss Xia in guarding Territory No. 9 and returning to Territory No. 8 after the harmful rain period."

Tang Huai gave a thumbs up to the brothers of Territory No. 8, and Xia Qing asked, "Have you brought tents and food? If not, I'll go back and get them."

During the harmful rain period, the harmful element content in the air exceeded the standard. If humans didn't want to wear protective masks the whole time, they had to hide in spaces that could isolate harmful elements, or stay in sturdy and solid houses with doors and windows closed during the harmful rain interval when the air harmful element concentration was slightly lower.

Although the harmful element content in such rooms was lower than outside, it also exceeded the normal level. Staying for an hour or half an hour was fine, but for a long time, one still had to wear a protective mask, otherwise, the human body inhaling excessive harmful elements would also lead to various harmful evolution symptoms, and even loss of control or madness.

After the people of Territory No. 9 were caught, Liehuo sent people to dismantle and take away the valuable materials in this territory, even dismantling the doors and windows. Therefore, if they wanted to take off their protective masks to rest or eat, they needed to set up tents.

"Both brought, supplies are complete, Miss Xia don't worry."

Tang Huai had already become familiar with the people of Territory No. 8, "Xin Yu is a major shareholder of Zhonglian, and she has a lot of good things in her hands. Brother, your tent must be equipped with an air filter, right?"

This evolutionist from Territory No. 8 wasn't as talkative as his territory owner and just nodded.

He didn't like to talk, but Tang Huai did. This guy who didn't know how to look at people's faces leaned over familiarly, "Brother, what model of air filter are you equipped with, how many hours can it be used?"

This wasn't a problem that could be solved by nodding. The evolutionist from Territory No. 8 could only open his mouth, "Ordinary model, twenty-four hours."

"There are 41 hours left until the harmful rain ends, this filter is enough." After Tang Huai finished speaking, he actually took out a deck of poker cards from his pocket, winked, "The three of us sitting idly is also boring, why don't we set up a tent and play landlord?"

Xia Qing...

Evolutionist from Territory No. 8...

"Xia Qing, can you hear me?" Hu Zifeng's voice came from Xia Qing's ear-type walkie-talkie, and she immediately raised her hand to press the button, "Can, Brother Feng, please speak."

Huh? Calling so intimately?! Tang Huai had no intention of playing poker anymore.

Hu Zifeng reported the danger in Territory No. 3, "The bamboo leaves in the west buffer forest have turned red, suspected of secondary evolution, and the growth rate has also accelerated. Should I clear them?"

"Don't move for now, I'll return immediately." Xia Qing sent a message to Yuan Yan, asking her to pay attention to the changes in the hardness-evolved bamboo planted in Territory No. 5, and explained to Tang Huai and the evolutionist from Territory No. 8, "There is some situation in Territory No. 3, I'll go back and see, and will be back soon."

The evolutionist from Territory No. 8 was very reasonable, "If there is a situation in Territory No. 9, we will report it to you immediately through the territory owner walkie-talkie, Miss Xia doesn't need to rush back."

"Many thanks, I will return as soon as possible." Xia Qing's eyes turned to Tang Huai, and this guy immediately opened his mouth, "I'll take your car back to Territory No. 2 to see." ===== CHAPTER 779 =====
