Chapter 791: Clearing Huanggan 39

Among the death grass in the territory, a dangerous evolution species that cannot be burned and destroyed—Huanggan 39—has appeared, and the quantity is not small, with one or two plants every five square meters on average. To clear the death grass cleanly, you must first pull out the Huanggan 39, and then clear other varieties of death grass.

Moreover, Huanggan 39 must be cleared before noon tomorrow. Time is tight and the task is heavy, so Xia Qing continues to hire people to work.

Soon, Wen Nengjie and Yu Shou each led ten people into Territory No. 3, and according to the boundaries delineated by Xia Qing, they divided into north and south zones to first pull out the Huanggan 39, and then clear the remaining varieties of death grass.

The boundary dividing the north and south was the east-west passage cut by Xia Qing's micro-tiller. The distance from the passage to the south iron wire wall of Territory No. 3 was about 500 meters, with a total area of about 1200 acres. This area belonged to the relatively flat farming area, including the two deserted villages in the southeast and southwest, all of which were handed over to Wen Nengjie's squad to clear.

The area from the passage north to the reservoir and south of the river, with a total area of about 1300 acres, excluding the deserted village where Xia Qing lived and the 30 acres of farmland area in the isolation circle delineated by Xia Qing, the death grass in the remaining area was handed over to Yu Shou's squad to clear.

Xia Qing and Sheep Boss were responsible for the deserted village where they lived, the 30 acres of farmland area, and the 4500 acres of buffer forest. Xia Qing was responsible for clearing the death grass, and Sheep Boss was responsible for protecting the most important resource in the territory in its opinion—the big Chinese toon tree.

Wolf dog Lao Er?

After the two squads entered Territory No. 3, Lao Er hid in the highest part of the deserted village ruins where Xia Qing currently lived, watching these two groups of people with murderous intent. As long as they dared to enter the deserted village, they would become Lao Er's target for attack and expulsion.

As long as the person facing it wasn't Xia Qing, this evolved wolf would reveal its wild and cruel side. Not to mention Wen Nengjie's squad, even Yu Shou and Zhang Hongda, these two evolvers, knew that there was an adult evolved wolf ambushing in the deserted village, so their nerves were also tense, and they never entered the deserted village area.

You can't carry guns when entering Territory No. 3 to work, so even if it was Zhang Hongda, a three-system evolver, he didn't have the confidence to dodge the sneak attack of an evolved beast at the top of the evolution forest food chain in the vast death grass forest over two meters high.

Fight it? What are you thinking! For the sake of this wolf, Xia Qing even dared to wipe out the well-equipped ten-man beast-catching squad of Liehuo! They dared to touch this wolf and that sheep, and they couldn't possibly walk out of Territory No. 3 alive.

Xia Qing wandered around and pulled out the Huanggan 39 in the deserted village where she lived, then looked up and asked the wolf dog lying in the ruins, "Lao Er, I'm going to work on the farmland side. Are you staying here to watch the house, or are you coming with me?"

Wolf dog Lao Er poked its head out from the high ruins and looked down at Xia Qing, with no intention of jumping down.

Xia Qing understood, "Alright, Lao Er watch the house here, I'll go clear the Huanggan 39 in the evolution forest, if there's anything, you shout for me."

Lao Er grinned and smiled at Xia Qing, and then returned to the high ruins, continuing to stare at the humans walking around in the death grass in the territory.

It wasn't that Xia Qing didn't want to put protective masks on her two animal companions, but they both refused.

Wolf dog Lao Er thought the protective mask hindered its fighting, and Sheep Boss disliked that it couldn't chew the cud comfortably while wearing a mask.

Therefore, Xia Qing first cleared the Huanggan 39 in this deserted village, and even the grass stalks of Huanggan 39 in the cut death grass were pulled out cleanly. Lao Er's body was also sprayed with insect repellent, so it wouldn't be disturbed by evolved insects while staying in the death grass.

Only then could Xia Qing leave the village with peace of mind and continue to clear the Huanggan 39.

There are a total of 15 greenhouses in Xia Qing's territory, with a total planting area of 13.1 acres, including two hillside terraced greenhouses totaling 1.7 acres, two greenhouses totaling 0.9 acres, 10 planting greenhouses in the farmland totaling 10 acres, and one 0.5-acre pasture shed for Sheep Boss (the chicken-shit vine is also in the pasture shed).

Although Xia Qing and Territory No. 15 are allies, you have to be on guard against others.

Supplies move people's hearts, and Xia Qing didn't want to use the high-quality crops in the greenhouses to test the moral bottom line of her allies.

In the 5 greenhouses of crops protected by Yi stones during the death rain and one greenhouse of pasture, not a single death grass grew, and not a single seedling was missing. Such greenhouses could be seen at a glance that something was wrong.

Who knows which ally, out of curiosity, would enter the greenhouse to check why the crops in the shed were growing so well.

As long as they looked for a while, they would find the Yi stones installed on the wooden sticks. The death rain had stopped for less than 4 hours, and the death element concentration in the atmosphere hadn't dropped to normal levels. The green-light crops in the greenhouses were still being protected by Yi stones.

Xia Qing didn't want anyone other than Hu Zi Feng's squad to know that she had installed Yi stones in her farmland and what her farmland actually looked like after the second death rain.

Therefore, she used a micro-tiller to cut an isolation circle around the 10 planting greenhouses, 2 greenhouses, and the pasture. The area inside the circle was about 30 acres, with the planting greenhouses and greenhouses in the center, and at least 6 meters wide of death grass area on the outside. The death grass inside the circle was the responsibility of Lord Xia Qing, and the one outside the circle was the responsibility of Yu Shou's squad.

With more than 6 meters wide of death grass wall blocking the view, Yu Shou's squad couldn't see the situation of the crops in the greenhouses inside, and Wen Nengjie's squad working in the southern part of the territory couldn't see it even more.

Yu Shou's squad had no opinion on Xia Qing's practice of delineating management areas.

The disasters and hunger during the years of natural disasters had already worn away the moral bottom line of humanity, and the binding force of the law had basically disappeared, and the trust between people had dropped to the lowest point.

Food is a necessary supply for survival, and it should be protected no matter how carefully.

When other lords hire outsiders to enter the territory to work, they not only delineate areas that cannot be entered but also supervise the outside employees personally or send people to ensure the safety of supplies in the territory.

Therefore, Xia Qing only delineated the isolation area and didn't patrol or supervise them back and forth in the isolation area. In the eyes of Yu Shou and Wen Nengjie's squads, this was already treating them as people who could be trusted.

When Xia Qing cleared the Huanggan 39 in the isolation circle, she found that there was no such plant in the greenhouse, so she pressed the walkie-talkie and asked, "Did everyone find Huanggan 39 in the greenhouse? I don't have it here."

"I don't have it here either." Yuan Yan replied, "It should be that the seed particles of Huanggan 39 are larger than the mesh of the insect-proof net, so they were blocked outside the greenhouse."

Zhu Li agreed with Yuan Yan's point of view, "It should be exactly as Sister Yan said. The Huanggan 39 on the outer edge of my greenhouse is obviously more than in other areas."

Tang Heng speculated, "In that case, the seeds of this death grass were likely blown over by the wind from other places, or brought by birds."

If Huanggan 39 evolved from the existing death grass in the territory, there should also be this kind of death grass in the greenhouse.

Zhao Ze sighed, "How much have you cleared? My eyes are blurred, and I haven't finished 100 acres yet."

The color differences of different kinds of death grass are very large, and together they are a colorful death grass forest taller than humans. There are more than a dozen kinds of death grass with yellow leaves in the forest. Finding the not-so-obvious Huanggan 39 from these death grass, if it takes a long time, you will really get blurred eyes.

Tang Huai cursed, "There is a brain-damaged person here who came up with a bad idea, asking everyone to pull down the yellow death grass and then pick it, which is even more blurred."

It was indeed a bad idea, because after pulling it down, the death grass leaves would gradually wither, making it even harder to distinguish the death grass species based on the shape of the leaves.

Xia Qing, who possessed nine-level visual evolution ability, didn't have the trouble of blurred eyes. After clearing the thirty-acre farming area, she carried five large bundles of Huanggan 39 out of the farmland isolation circle and stacked them on the side of the road.

"Sister Qing, let me." Zhang Hongda, who walked out carrying a bundle of yellow grass, saw Xia Qing come out and walked over quickly to help.

His death synthesis poison had been solved, and his movements were fast and agile. The face under the protective mask, which still had a layer of small red bumps, wore a bright smile, and the light in his eyes was brighter than the sun hanging in the sky.

This layer of small red bumps was estimated not to be able to fall off, but Zhang Hongda didn't care at all. Being able to recover to this extent, he was already very satisfied and grateful.

Xia Qing didn't refuse his help, "How is it, do you feel tired after this death rain?"

Zhang Hongda was worthy of being a speed evolver, shaking his head faster than a rattle-drum, "Not tired at all, feel great, just like being reborn!"

Xia Qing, who added a three-system evolution ally, was also in a good mood, smiled and nodded, and turned to clear the Huanggan 39 in the buffer forest.

Yu Shou carried a bundle of yellow death grass and walked out, seeing Dazi standing by the grass pile, a bit puzzled, "What's wrong? Tired?"

"... No, it's great!" Zhang Hongda, who was dazzled by Xia Qing's fleeting smile, turned around quickly and walked into the death grass two meters high. ===== CHAPTER 792 =====
