Chapter 953: Ye Yang and Little Eleven

"Crack—snap!"

After crashing into a large tree, the giant wild boar that had been surrounded and attacked by three giant wolf cubs collapsed. The leading giant wolf cub had just raised its head to howl a few times in celebration when it was cut off by the mother giant wolf who had leapt into the valley.

A few more minutes passed, and four non-giantified small wolves killed the half-grown wild boar they had surrounded.

By comparison, the giant small wolves' combat power was clearly higher than the non-giant small wolves', but this gap changed as the small wolves grew and their evolution abilities improved. For instance, a non-giant top-speed evolved alpha wolf could suppress Handsome Giant Wolf.

Having completed tonight's training tasks, the small wolves began to enjoy their prey.

Tang Huai, who could no longer hear the wild boar's squeals, was very disappointed: the Azure Dragon Squad took down the boar that quickly? Not bad combat power.

After the small wolves ate their fill, the alpha wolf jumped down to eat, then Black Wolf, carrying its injured Four-Eyes small wolf cub in its mouth, also went over. Though the little one was listless, it still ate over a dozen bites of meat. Being able to eat meant there wouldn't be too big a problem, and Xia Qing felt a little relieved.

After the adult wolves had also eaten their fill, the wolf pack left in force with the small wolves. They left Xia Qing one still-breathing green-light giant wild boar, and one and a half hollowed-out yellow-light half-grown wild boars.

Xia Qing happily carried the three wild boars back to the territory, called Er Yong over, and after a great deal of busywork, they finally butchered the wild boars.

Er Yong was especially excited, because this time Xia Qing had brought back live pigs, and a whole large basin of pig blood could be drawn out!

During the Calamity years, there were many harmful bacteria in the air, and the Calamity element was everywhere. To preserve freshness to the maximum, Er Yong specifically called his dad for advice, then added green-light salt and an appropriate amount of vinegar to the pig blood, and used a small fire to slowly heat it and accelerate coagulation. After the pig blood solidified, Er Yong cheerfully exchanged two catties of blood tofu for over twenty catties of yellow-light pork.

Xia Qing cut a piece of blood tofu for her idol, added a side of green-light ribs, and sent them together to Territory Seven, along with over a hundred catties of yellow-light pork for making freeze-dried food.

After selling some yellow-light and green-light pork to her allies, the remaining yellow-light pig heads, trotters, and pork bones were all sent by Xia Qing to the Ninth Central Cafeteria, to add some meat to the employees' meals.

Most of the green-light pork and the cleaned offal were stored by Xia Qing in her own and Broken-Waist Wolf's refrigerators. Broken-Waist Wolf ate hot green-light pork liver tonight, and Xia Qing ate stir-fried pork with chili peppers.

Now, the room was filled with the aroma of stewed pig head, and just smelling it made her feel happy. Xia Qing wanted to be a little happier, so she asked, "Broken-Waist, can I kill the wild boars in the valley myself to eat?"

Broken-Waist Wolf, who was watching TV and learning about fungi, turned its head and looked at Xia Qing with a solemn expression.

Not allowed?

Xia Qing turned her head and, gesturing, asked the alpha wolf, who had come to visit the sick family member, "If I want to eat pork, can I first tell the Queen, and once the Queen agrees, I'll go kill one? Is that okay?"

The alpha wolf tilted its head and nuzzled Xia Qing once, and Broken-Waist Wolf also opened its mouth to reveal its snow-white, cute little fang tips, indicating it was fine.

"I understand, the Queen is truly too kind! Broken-Waist, even though a few patches of fur were shaved off your head, you look even more handsome!" Her status in the wolf pack had indeed risen!

But with her status rising, Xia Qing also had more things to worry about.

She quickly searched through videos and found a green-light animal breeding video for the two smart wolves to learn from. "Queen, Broken-Waist. We need to keep the green-light sows and boars, then provide the wild boars with high-quality feed, and protect them during the Calamity rain period too. Only then will the piglets they give birth to be green-light."

Although the territory had now achieved signal coverage, the data fees were not cheap. So Xia Qing's big TV, like her laptop, was only used to watch the massive amount of videos and materials stored on the hard drive. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Broken-Waist Wolf, who already had a computer, considered a TV not worth a single Yi stone.

The two wolves stayed home to learn new knowledge, while Xia Qing put on protective gear and planned to take Does Daigua Monkey along to patrol the territory, only to find it also staring intently at the TV.

So Xia Qing didn't disturb it and went out to patrol on her own.

Wolf Lao Er, who patrolled the territory regularly day and night, had left. Broken-Waist Wolf's leg was still injured. The alpha wolf carried too much authority for Xia Qing to dare order around, and Sheep Elder's night vision was limited. So the task of patrolling the territory fell to Xia Qing.

Territory Three had already achieved full surveillance coverage, so checking the surveillance wall could reveal conditions everywhere in the territory. But Xia Qing didn't fully trust the surveillance, so she wore night-vision goggles and trained while patrolling the territory.

She had to see with her own eyes and hear with her own ears that there were no abnormalities in every part of the territory before Xia Qing could sleep at ease.

After training until eleven at night, Xia Qing returned home, turned off the TV for Broken-Waist Wolf and Does Daigua Monkey, who were still studying seriously, and also coaxed Sheep Elder, who was still generating electricity, onto the hanging chair to sleep.

The alpha wolf? Had left at some unknown time.

The next day, Xia Qing first went to the wolf den, fed medicine to the four-eyed little black wolf amid Broken-Waist Sister's cursing, then drove off with Zhao Ze, Qi Fu, Huo Zhun, and Shi Du, heading toward Mountain Fifty.

She needed Zhao Ze to survey the site based on the blueprints provided by Territory Seven, work out a detailed construction plan, and only then could she find people to do the construction.

She brought Huo Zhun to protect Zhao Ze, and brought Qi Fu and Shi Du to survey the terrain and see where was suitable for planting Red Leaf Bamboo. Before the third Calamity rain arrived, Xia Qing planned to expand the Red Leaf Bamboo planting area and harvest a batch of seeds during the third Calamity rain.

After arranging everything, Xia Qing went to the Hidden Valley to deliver to Zhang Shi the green-light sunflower seeds, green-light wheat, corn, and rice she had exchanged with him.

No matter how many storms raged outside, the Hidden Valley remained peaceful and tranquil.

A severely injured person in a Territory Fifteen inside the valley had died, and another severely injured person's condition had improved and returned to Territory Fifteen, so now there were only four severely injured people, one guard stationed by Territory Fifteen, and Zhang Shi and his son in the valley.

Having moved in four months ago, Zhang Shiyi had visibly grown taller, and her little face had filled out. Seeing Xia Qing arrive, she trotted over and softly called out "Auntie Qing."

Xia Qing patted her little shoulder. "What are you busy with, Eleven?"

"Pulling weeds." Little Eleven pointed at Ye Yang and Yu Shou, who were pulling weeds over by the farmland. It seemed that during this period, Little Eleven had had more interactions with the people from Territory Fifteen.

"Brother Ye, is the little stool comfortable to sit on?" Xia Qing greeted Ye Yang, who was sitting on a little stool. Ye Yang had originally been a squad leader of a unit under Yuehai Camp. He was attacked by a Calamity-evolved plant during a mission, damaging his lumbar spine. He had previously been confined to a wheelchair, but now he could sit on a little stool to pull weeds—his physical recovery was very evident.

The little stool Ye Yang sat on was a new product from the Territory Alliance Research Institute. Underneath the 360° rotatable seat board with a backrest were front and rear wheels. Placed between field ridges, it could move forward and backward by the rotation of the wheels, so pulling weeds and tending seedlings no longer required squatting or bending over.

Under the active marketing of Commerce Minister Kuang Qingwei, this little stool had already sold over 300 units at 80 points each. After deducting costs, it netted 7,200 points, and the allies who participated in the stool's design, production, and sales all made money.

"It's especially useful, and moving around saves a lot of effort. These two wheels are designed so cleverly." Because he could participate in more labor and truly create value, Ye Yang's smile was much brighter than before, he had gained some flesh on his face, and the whole person had more vitality. "Stay for lunch? We hunted a yellow-light wild boar yesterday, let's have stewed dishes for lunch."

Seeing Little Eleven also looking at her with bright, hopeful eyes, Xia Qing nodded. "Alright, I brought sweet potatoes and potatoes, perfect for adding another dish."
