In the Tenth Year After the Natural Disaster, Follow me to Farm Chapter 245

Chapter 245 Picking Chestnuts

After turning off the intercom, Xia Qing started to contact the second power evolver, "Brother Qi, are you free tomorrow? I found edible chestnuts, will you come with me tomorrow?"

Hearing Xia Qing's words, Qi Fu almost jumped with excitement, but he was worried that he wouldn't be able to help if he went there, and would instead cause trouble to Xia Qing, "I'm free, but I'm not level 4 or experienced, so I'll go It won't cause you any trouble, will it?”

Xia Qing gave him a reassurance, "No. Tomorrow there will be many of us, so you will be responsible for cutting, picking and carrying chestnuts, as long as you are strong enough. Wear the protective clothing you wore in the third rain tomorrow, and carry the chestnuts with you. High shears, big sacks and a six-meter rope.”

In the third rainstorm, when Xia Qing went to clear the yellow tillers in Territory No. 5, he found that Qi Fu and his wife were wearing Level 2 outdoor protective suits, which were one level higher than what could be purchased in the safe zone. They had no problem going to the evolutionary forest.

After contacting Qi Fu, Xia Qing immediately contacted Territory No. 7. She was clearly calling Ji Li, but when she got through, it was Zhang San.

Zhang San asked weakly, "Want to exchange the potion from yesterday?"

Xia Qing grinned happily, "Yes. Third brother will give me fifteen more bottles of potion in exchange. In addition to the last bottle, I will give you thirty-two kilograms of green light chestnuts."

Thirty-two kilograms is not a small amount. Zhang San also had strength. "Is there really a green light chestnut tree? What kind of tree? How does it taste?"

Xia Qing, who had tested the chestnut yi element content and confirmed that it was at normal levels, replied very politely, "I can't tell the variety. I haven't tasted it yet and I don't know how it tastes. Why don't I send it to you first?" , can you help test the quality?”

Zhang San was very satisfied with Xia Qing's answer, "Okay. I'll ask Ji Li to go get it and bring the medicine to you along the way."

"Thank you, Third Brother." Xia Qing hung up the phone and immediately put a few green light chestnuts into a sealed bag, and five kilograms of yellow light chestnuts, and handed them to Ji Li who was waiting in the northern isolation zone.

Ji Li saw that Xia Qing's protective clothing was in tatters and almost turned into a ghillie suit, so she knew that it was not easy for her. However, Xia Qing didn't mention the collection process, and Ji Li didn't ask.

At six o'clock the next morning, the picking team gathered on time at the northern isolation zone of Territory 3. In addition to Xia Qing, there were five members in the team: the fifth-level power evolver Guan Tong, the fourth-level power evolver Shi Du, and the third-level power evolver Qi. Hu Feng and Peng Jian, rich and fifth-level visual evolvers.

After listening to Xia Qing's explanation of the picking mission, everyone except Hu Feng, who already knew about it, opened their eyes and opened their mouths wide, unable to believe their ears.

Xia Qing, who was wearing a ghillie suit, continued, "I have already explored the way in and out. I just need to be careful of the evolved insects that jump out on the road. The reward is three kilograms of yellow light chestnuts per person, and the reward will be increased for those with larger tasks. Although the chestnut tree mucus is very sticky, it is not corrosive. It sticks to the protective clothing and can be washed off after it dries. "

After natural disasters, human food is in short supply, and nuts are even more scarce. The transaction price of yellow light chestnuts in the safe zone is 80 points per pound, and the green light chestnuts are as high as 250 points per pound. At such an expensive price, you have to try your luck to buy them.

In other words, Xia Qing's reward for forming a team this time is 240 points per person. As a picking task with low risk, if this price is posted on the bulletin board in the safe zone task hall, people who want to participate will queue up. Let Xia Qing pick it up, everyone is beaming with joy.

Have broken leaves or dirt stuck on the protective clothing? Being dirty will not affect the quality of the protective clothing. In the eyes of humans who are short of food after natural disasters, this is not a problem at all!

Hushi Feng discussed with Xia Qing, "You have been there once, so you can lead the team this time, right?"

Xia Qing quickly arranged the formation and began to march along the hillside towards the chestnut forest hillside. Qi Fu, who entered the evolutionary forest for the first time, was placed behind Xia Qing and in front of Peng Jianjian.

Xia Qing told him, "Brother Qi, follow me. You go wherever I go, and don't leave the team. If you don't follow the route, you will encounter aggressive plants. Peng Jian and I will clean up the evolved animals that jump out of the grass." ”

If you fall out of line in the evolutionary forest, your life may be in danger at any time. Qi Fu nodded quickly, "Understood."

The distance was nearly three thousand meters, and it was a cleared road. The team's marching speed was not too slow, and it took 40 minutes to reach the edge of the chestnut forest.

Seeing such a large chestnut forest, even the well-informed Bearded Front team was so excited that their breathing became heavier.

Shi Du couldn't help but be excited, and whispered, "Sister Qing, you've made it!" Shi Du knew that Xia Qing rented an evolutionary forest from the Qinglong team, but he didn't know how big the area was. However, Xia Qing formed the team today, which means that this chestnut tree is within the scope of Xia Qing's contract.

What is this if it's not made?

Xia Qing said with a smile, "Whether it will happen or not depends on whether we can successfully bring the chestnuts back today. When I came yesterday, there were not so many cracked chestnuts."

Qi Fu whispered to Xia Qing through the headset-type intercom in the protective mask, "As soon as the outer layer of thorns cracks, the chestnuts will fall off quickly. Fortunately, you found it early."

"Sister Qing, your red squirrel is hiding on the cedar tree ten meters south of the chestnut tree." As soon as Peng Jian finished reminding him, he saw a palm-sized evolutionary bug stuck to the leaves of the chestnut tree and began to struggle desperately. .

The split thorn fruit on the branch was shaken a few times, and the two chestnuts inside fell off and fell to the ground.

Several squirrels acted at the same time, snatching chestnuts from the ground, and then quickly escaped. The red squirrel that had snatched a chestnut did not return. Instead, it stuffed the big chestnut into its mouth, and sprinted for 100 meters on the fir tree branches. Its round eyes stared at the chestnut forest, preparing for the next snatch.

When you go all out, even a little squirrel can look so handsome.

"We are divided into three groups, Captain Hu and Shi Du, Peng Jian and Guan Tong, and Brother Qi and I. One person is responsible for sniping the advanced evolutionary bees, and the other person goes up the tree to cut chestnuts, chestnut leaves and thorns. They are all sticky, try to avoid them, and find the one with the green light first." Xia Qing gave everyone a bottle of potion, "Spray half a bottle at a time, and the validity period is three hours. We must pick all the chestnuts. Close the team."

When Xia Qing sprayed the potion on Qi Fu, he explained seriously, "After spraying the potion, Brother Qi will go up to the tree to cut the chestnuts, and I will deal with the advanced evolved bees."

"Okay, I'm good at cutting fruits." When Qi Fu entered the evolutionary forest for the first time, he had to face an evolutionary wasp that was longer than a finger at close range. He was not afraid that it was fake, but he didn't show it at all, so he quickly sprayed it on Xia Qing. Potion, follow her to the tree.

The six-person team was still five meters away from the chestnut forest when the evolutionary wasps rushed over, screaming and cursing, led by more than twenty evolutionary bees.

Looking at the wasp that was bigger than a palm, Qi Fu knew that this was the advanced evolved wasp that Xia Qing was talking about, and his heart jumped into his throat.

But in just one breath, the advanced evolved wasp was killed by Xia Qing, Hu Hufeng, and Peng Jian. Seeing how powerful they were, Qi Fu's heart dropped into his stomach.

Surrounded by wasps, the picking team rushed into the chestnut forest, first looking for four green chestnut trees and starting work. In the first wave, of course the best ones should be collected first.

Seeing humans cutting off the chestnut balls, the red squirrel, ready to go, immediately rushed forward, grabbed two chestnuts in the chaos, and ran away holding them.

Xia Qing saw the red squirrel carrying the locator, but she didn't object to it fishing in troubled waters, because Xia Qing found these chestnuts because the little guy led the way.

Qi Fu found that Xia Qing, who was multitasking, could cut chestnuts with one hand no slower than he could with two hands. He became anxious, took back the high branch shears, and quickly brushed off the rotten leaves stuck to the pole and the head of the shears.

Unexpectedly, I made a mistake while I was busy. I bent the retracting rod of the high branch shears. I quickly straightened the retracting rod, but I failed to control the force and broke it directly.
