Chapter 795: Feeling like she knew everything

Seeing Xia Qing constantly taking out small-packaged ready-to-eat food from this pocket and that pocket, Zhang San stopped scolding, "Why are you carrying so much food?"

Xia Qing replied sincerely, "I was afraid of hunger before, so I have a sense of security only when I carry more food. This egg jerky and pork jerky were made by Er Yong, and the original bamboo shoots were made by me learning from Aunt Shi. Would you like to try it?"

Zhang San tore open the package of bamboo shoots and tasted one, "This should be made with cane sugar. Because beet sugar has a grassy taste, which affects the taste of fresh bamboo shoots. Also, too much salt was put in."

Xia Qing explained, "Green-light cane sugar is too expensive, and it's hard to buy good quality ones, so I'll put less salt next time."

Sugarcane is a death element-susceptible plant, so it needs to be isolated from death elements throughout the growth process, so sugarcane products are very expensive.

Before entering the territory, Xia Qing couldn't bear to buy sugar to eat. After entering the territory last year, she could bear to exchange for some cane sugar made from yellow-light beets as seasoning. After being poisoned by a gas bomb last November, she changed to a pure green-light diet to regulate her body, so she changed to green-light beet sugar.

Zhang San entered the inner room full of bottles and jars with a bamboo shoot in his mouth, and soon came out with a two-catty bag of clean, delicate cane sugar and gave it to Xia Qing.

"This is white sugar made from green-light sugarcane. You make one catty of original bamboo shoots for me, and the rest is your raw material fee and processing fee."

Xia Qing held the heavy, snow-white sugar, her eyes lit up. Although the idol had a bad temper, was petty, and was picky about food, he was still the best idol on the entire Blue Star, a high-quality idol standing at the top of the pyramid!

"Thank you, Third Brother! This sugar is too precious, the processing fee doesn't need so much, I'll make three catties of bamboo shoots and send them over."

Zhang San ate another bamboo shoot, and his mood visibly improved again, "No need. This is a high-quality sugarcane variety we are cultivating, so the growth speed is fast and the yield is high, so the cost of sugar is not high."

Xia Qing's eyes lit up even more, "Third Brother, have you overcome the defect of sugarcane's susceptibility to death elements?"

It's not that easy!

Zhang San glared at Xia Qing, "Still have to be planted in a standardized greenhouse, isolated from death elements throughout the growth process."

"Then you can bring down the cultivation cost, which is also very powerful!"

Zhang San...

"This is a research project led by Zhang He and Zhang Tao."

"You can recruit so many excellent talents, and you can create good scientific research conditions and environment for them, so they can make such excellent research results, so you are still the most powerful!"

Zhang San suppressed the thought of driving her out and went straight to the point, "Don't move a single soybean in your territory, let them continue to grow. After harvesting the soybeans, send some over. I will let people conduct comparative research on the quality of soybeans under different growth conditions, and discover the death synthesis substance reasonably and legally, so that it will not expose the fact that you have magnetic sense ability."

"Understood." Death-evolved soybeans need to be locked with magnetic sense. Exposing the abnormality of soybeans now is likely to be suspected of Xia Qing. She is now an open dual-system evolver, and increasing her ability will bring unnecessary danger.

"From now on, the bean leaves and beans grown from the soybean seeds I gave you, regardless of whether they have death evolution, cannot be eaten. The bean seedlings and beans grown from the hundreds of soybean seeds you exchanged with Li Si using green-light eggs should be ordinary green-light soybeans."

Xia Qing has proper food and won't eat bean seedlings. The idol is referring to Sheep Boss who eats grass in Territory No. 3.

Xia Qing's heart was bleeding, "Because the quality, color, and size of the soybeans obtained in the two exchanges were the same, I thought they were the same kind of beans, so I mixed them together for sowing."

"Then give it all up."

"Yes."

The soybean seedlings that had been growing for three months in half an acre plus a piece of terraced field were all classified as inedible poisonous plants. Before the death rain, Xia Qing was still thinking about picking some to boil edamame to eat when the pods got bigger.

Now that she thinks about it, it's really lingering fear.

Zhang San liked Xia Qing's decisiveness, took a red-headed document from the drawer and handed it to her, "The approval for the Ninth Planting Center has come down. I am the person in charge, you are the direct manager of the center, and Zhang Tao is the technical instructor."

"The base leader mentioned the matter of prioritizing the employment of retired soldiers to me, and I agreed. You look at the specific content of the document and the planting schedule at the back, and finalize the implementation plan with Zhang Tao as soon as possible, and start recruiting people and construction."

"Yes!"

Xia Qing stood up and took the document with both hands.

Zhang San instructed, "During the death rain, a guard of Mountain No. 50 escaped into the evolution forest and has not been caught yet. You should be careful when entering and leaving the valley."

There were five people involved in the accident at Mountain No. 50 during the death rain. Two were researchers from Territory No. 7, who had been caught; one was security personnel hired by Xia Qing from the Qinglong combat team, who had been wiped out by Yan Long; two were security personnel from Territory No. 7, one was arrested and one escaped.

Xia Qing nodded, "Third Brother, how to deal with this accident?"

"I have already negotiated with Liehuo, I will negotiate with the official side of Hui No. 1, and you go to negotiate with Qinglong."

"Understood!" She didn't expect that the hired security personnel would actually rebel. Xia Qing must have a good talk with Yang Jin about this matter and let him double the compensation for the losses of Mountain No. 50.

Thinking of the iron rooster plucking its hair and the meat pain, Xia Qing couldn't wait.

Zhang San mentioned the third thing about finding Xia Qing, "There is one more thing, there was an accident in the valley..."

After leaving Zhang San's office, Xia Qing walked quickly toward Yan Long, who was standing quietly in the corridor, "Sister Yan, how did that Qinglong team member who was killed at Mountain No. 50 die? Can you tell me? Third Brother asked me to follow up on this matter."

Yan Long nodded, took Xia Qing to the office, and then retrieved the recording of her leading the team to support Mountain No. 50 during the death rain from the office computer and played it for Xia Qing to watch.

This recording was recorded by the recorder worn on Yan Long's shoulder, lasting more than half an hour. Xia Qing browsed it generally and then asked, "Sister Yan, can I take a copy of this?"

"Yes." Mountain No. 50 is a pollution control test area established after being polluted by dangerous chemicals, belonging to Zhang San's P3 laboratory. As the direct manager of Mountain No. 50, Xia Qing has the right to retrieve the monitoring video of this mountain.

When Xia Qing raised her hand to take the U-disk containing the video, she found Yan Long looking at her quietly. Xia Qing also raised her eyes and looked back calmly, waiting for her to open her mouth to ask about the hidden valley.

Just now in the idol's office, Xia Qing heard that Yan Long relied on her sense of smell to discover the existence of the hidden valley when she went to Mountain No. 50 to perform tasks during the death rain.

And Xia Qing just knew that after Shi Jiaran "escaped" from the Hui No. 1 Research Institute in the sixth year of the natural disaster, the Hui No. 1 Base had sent six search teams to find her whereabouts. Yan Long was the person in charge of that search mission.

Although that mission had passed for five years, Yan Long must still remember the failed mission, and maybe she still remembered Shi Jiaran's scent.

Did she discover anything?

Could Shi Jiaran, who was pregnant and weak back then, escape Yan Long's search just because Zhang San's medicine was against the sky and Shi Jiaran was lucky?

After looking at each other for a few seconds, Yan Long didn't say anything and turned to lead the way, but Xia Qing felt that she knew everything. ===== CHAPTER 796 =====

Then Xia Qing also just learned that after Shi Jiaran "escaped" from the Huiyi Research Institute in the sixth year of the natural disaster, the Huiyi Base had dispatched six search teams to find her whereabouts. Yan Long was the person in charge of that search mission.

Although five years had passed since that mission, Yan Long must still remember the failed mission, and perhaps she even remembered Shi Jiaran's scent.

Did she discover something?

Could Shi Jiaran, who was pregnant and physically weak at the time, have escaped Yan Long's search just because Zhang San's medicine was heaven-defying and Shi Jiaran was lucky?

After staring at each other for a few seconds, Yan Long said nothing and turned to lead the way, but Xia Qing felt that she knew everything.
