Chapter 543 Evolution of the Leopard
The people who were working immediately stopped digging and collecting and gathered together. The defenders of this mission team, Xia Qing, Yue Haiying and Hu Ningsheng, held their guns and faced the outside to protect everyone's safety.
Shi Du and Yu Shou, who were carrying guns, also took them off and held them in their hands.
Yuan Yan reached out and pulled Zhao Ze and Zhu Li to the safest place.
Being pulled behind Xia Qing, Zhao Ze felt that his heartbeat had stabilized, his breathing had become smoother, and his ears were no longer buzzing. Zhu Li had the same reaction as Zhao Ze. In fact, she just wanted to grab the best position behind Xia Qing. This is the instinct to seek self-protection in dangerous moments honed over the past ten years of natural disasters.
The reason why she didn't rob them was because she was in the same alliance as these people. They were not in competition but in a cooperative relationship. If she makes others unhappy by fighting for the safest position, she will be kicked out of the collection team. Her husband was injured, and most of the overwintering crops grown in the territory were destroyed in the snow. She could no longer afford to lose this rare opportunity to earn points.
"At ten o'clock, there is a leopard lying behind a bush fifty meters away. Judging from its size, it is an evolved species." Xia Qing's voice was calm and decisive, "It has no intention of attacking us. Please do not make provocative actions. "
“Received.” Yue Haiying and Hu Ningsheng responded calmly.
“Understood.” Zhao Ze also lowered his voice in response. His voice was trembling, and so was his body.
Leopards are large predatory beasts in the evolutionary forest. According to relevant regulations, when encountering large predators in the evolutionary forest, humans cannot be the first to initiate provocation.
Xia Qing stared at the leopard crawling behind the bushes. The leopard's eyes were also staring at her. Obviously, Golden Leopard judged that the highest combat power in this team was Xia Qing.
Leopards and humans neither attack nor retreat, and are in a stalemate. The Qi Fu couple, Shi Mu, Zhao Ze and Zhu Li, who had never experienced such a scene, did not dare to express their anger, for fear that if they moved, they would be regarded as a provocation by the beast opposite.

Hum hum…
There are many animals that can make such sounds while walking, but as far as Xia Qing knows, there is only one large animal that can hum.
When the sound got closer, hearing evolver Hu Ningsheng reported the latest situation, "Two wild boars have entered the valley and are approaching."
Yue Haiying whispered, "The leopard is waiting to hunt the wild boar, and it can only capture one."
Wild boars are very vindictive animals. If one wild boar is captured, the other wild boar may howl or run back and bring its whole family together for revenge. If the leopard escapes successfully during the hunt, the wild boar's anger will be vented on humans.
A group of wild boars cannot defeat leopards, but the few humans digging kudzu here are no match for a group of wild boars.
Xia Qing understood what Yue Haiying meant, "I will kill the other wild boar."
Two wild boars grunted and approached the kudzu area from the other side. The moment the Golden Leopard turned its eyes away from Xia Qing, it launched an attack.
The leopard's explosive power is astonishing. The little wild boar didn't even have time to howl before the leopard bit its neck and dragged it away.
Another semi-large wild boar was frightened, and when it opened its mouth and was about to howl, Xia Qing fed it a bullet and shot its head off.
Qi Fu and others' eyes lit up when they saw Xia Qing shoot a large prey at close range for the first time.
Within a short time, three large vultures arrived and circled over the area.
“The Golden Leopard has left.” Hu Ningsheng reported the situation.
Xia Qing issued an order, "Shidu, go and collect the wild boar. The team continues to collect, speed up, and will complete the collection within four hours and withdraw from the valley." When Shidu went to collect the wild boar, everyone speeded up their actions, cutting down the vines. Keep cutting down the vines, and those who dig up the roots keep digging up the roots.
The machete that was still trembling in Zhu Li's hand failed to cut off the kudzu vine, but tears fell down.
Knowing that the evolutionary forest is scary is completely different from seeing ferocious beasts hunting at close range.
The moment the leopard looked over, all the blood in Zhu Li's body froze. If it weren't for the protection of the evolutionaries, it wasn't the wild boar that died just now, but her.
Because, she is weaker than the wild boar.
Zhu Li sniffed, then cut off the bulging part of the kudzu and put it into a bag, looking for the next bulging part while shedding tears. She had to move faster. Every time she cut off a bulge, the team would have a few more worms. The more the team gains, the more supplies she will be allocated after the mission is over.
She is definitely not as good as a power evolver, but she must not be much worse than Zhao Ze, who is also an ordinary person.
Yu Shou asked for help, "Xia Qing, this green kudzu vine is pink kudzu, but its root is pressed down by a big stone. You need to pry the stone away."
The rhizome of kudzu is white in color and powdery in texture. Its taste and flour extraction rate are much higher than those of kudzu with rough fiber. Therefore, the roots of kudzu must be dug out and brought back.
Xia Qing replied, "Copy that, Brother Cheng, come over and take over my defensive position."
Cheng Ping, leader No. 15, is a level three endurance evolver. Although his left arm is no longer flexible, his marksmanship is still good.
Yue Haiying, Yu Shou, Hu Ningsheng and Cheng Ping are the four most powerful evolvers in Territory 15 with intact legs. Since this mission was high risk, all four of them came.
After Cheng Ping arrived, Xia Qing rushed to Qi Fu and found that the moss-covered stone pressing on the roots of the kudzu vine weighed more than three thousand kilograms just looking at the exposed part.
Although Xia Qing's abilities have not yet fully recovered, after she joined, the four power evolvers worked together to lift the big stone with a crowbar.
After opening it, the surprise on Qi Fu's face turned to disappointment. Because the roots of this pink kudzu tree have been almost eaten by rats.
This is a common situation encountered when collecting rhizome plants in the evolutionary forest, and Xia Qing and Shidu are already used to it. Shi Du asked Xia Qing, "Can this kudzu be dug back and planted in our territory?"
This is No. 50 Mountain. Xia Qing is the manager of No. 50 Mountain. Xia Qing has the final say as to whether he can poach it.
Xia Qing nodded, "Okay, leave part of the roots to let it continue to grow."
“Understood!” Shidu took action immediately.
After working for two hours, the team rested on the spot for 20 minutes and continued digging.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the team members packed the harvested materials and started to return. Except for Xia Qing and Yue Haiying, who have the highest combat power, the five power evolvers are carrying full loads of supplies, and the rest are also carrying one or two hundred kilograms of supplies.
Today, everyone did not return to Territory No. 5, but entered Territory No. 15, which is closer to the mountain exit. Except for Xia Qing and Yue Haiying, everyone else lay down tired, but everyone's face was happy. Because of this collection, the harvest was full.
Tan Qi, who was working in the greenhouse, also ran over to help peel the kudzu pupae and clean the soil from the kudzu roots.
This collection mission yielded a total of 800 kilograms of yellow kudzu, 700 kilograms of green kudzu, 760 yellow kudzu pupae, 330 green kudzu pupae and a 150 kilogram yellow wild boar.
This is already a huge gain for a collection team whose average combat strength and weapons and equipment are not sophisticated enough.
