In the Tenth Year After the Natural Disaster, Follow me to Farm Chapter 683

Chapter 683 Green Lantern Bamboo Shoots

"Yes, Sister Yan, please put the snake away." Xia Qing is a defender today. She needs to keep an eye on her surroundings at all times to eliminate approaching dangers at any time. It is the task of the logistics staff to collect the prey.

“Okay.” Yuan Yan neatly picked up the two pieces of the snake, quickly sealed it and stuffed it into her backpack, and then dug out the bamboo shoots with a pickaxe.

A large one-meter-long bamboo shoot buried in the soil was dug out and weighed by hand, it must weigh more than 20 kilograms. The price of yellow lantern bamboo shoots this spring is 15 points per pound, and this one bamboo shoot is worth more than 300 points!

The couple were overjoyed and continued to look for edible bamboo shoots along the direction of bamboo root growth.

Tan Qi glanced at the big bamboo shoots that Qi Fu and his wife found, then lowered her head and continued to look for bamboo shoots according to the experience Qi Fu taught her. After finally finding one, it was a red light. Tan Qi was only depressed for a second, and immediately cheered up to look for the next one.

Xia Qing holds a knife in his left hand and a gun in his right hand. He stands beside the three of them and is responsible for guarding.

“Green light bamboo shoots were found in the second area and are being excavated. They will start chopping in one minute.” Liangzi made an announcement on the walkie-talkie.

　　Chopping green light bamboo shoots, that bamboo is likely to shoot bamboo leaf darts, which may also cause nearby animals to panic and escape, and enter other areas to hurt people. Therefore, it is necessary to issue an announcement in advance to remind companions in other areas to take precautions.

Xia Qing replied, "Received, please pay attention to safety."

A minute later, Xia Qing heard the tinkling sound of the bamboo leaf dart hitting a hard object from the second area.

Half an hour later, Yue Haiying issued an announcement, "Green light bamboo shoots were found in the third area, and they are being dug and will be chopped down later."

After Xia Qing received the reply, she found that Qi Fu, Yuan Yan and Tan Qi were all a little impatient, so she reminded them, "Brother Qi, Sister Yan, Qiqi, hold still."

Green Lantern bamboo shoots sell for 80 points per pound. Xia Qing can understand their anxiety, but the most taboo thing in the evolutionary forest is impatience, because once people lose their cool, they are prone to making mistakes.

The three districts divided by Xia Qing all found green lantern bamboo shoots last year. As long as they continue to search, they can find them. It wasn't that Xia Qing didn't want to tell them the location of the green bamboo, it was because she couldn't remember which one it was.

After receiving the reminder, the three of them immediately calmed down and continued digging bamboo shoots.

An hour later, Tan Qi found the first green bamboo shoot. Although it was only the size of a palm, the little girl jumped up happily.

Xia Qing took out the soft bulletproof shield from his backpack and opened it. The four of them hid under the shield before letting Tan Qi break off the bamboo shoots.

After the bamboo shoots are broken, the bamboo roots tremble, and the green light bamboo shoots bamboo leaf darts outward. Hearing the bamboo leaves banging on the soft bullet-proof shield, and seeing a few bamboo leaves shoot into the soil and stuck on the bamboo poles, Qi Fu and Tan Qi, who were protected under the umbrella, opened their eyes wide and couldn't believe this. This is what bamboo leaves can do.

Incredible, so crazy!

If we continue to evolve like this, maybe plants can break away from the land and run around...

"alright."

After the bamboo leaf dart was over, Xia Qing put away his bulletproof shield and asked the three of them to gather around the green bamboo plant and dig green bamboo shoots.

Digging bamboo shoots is a strenuous task. After another hour, the team set up their tent and rested on the spot.

It's not like he can't do anything during the break. Qi Fu asked, “Captain, can I peel the bamboo shoots and take them back with me?”

Each person's load is limited. If they peel off the skin of the bamboo shoots and chop off the roots, they can bring back more bamboo shoots.

Seeing his three companions looking at him, Xia Qing shook his head firmly, "No, after the smell of peeling bamboo shoots dissipates, it may attract the surrounding bamboo-eating animals and cause danger." This is why the bamboo shoots must be buried immediately after digging them. The reason why bamboo shoots are pitted and packed in packaging bags.

“I understand.” In the evolutionary forest, all actions must be obeyed by the captain. Qi Fu immediately gave up the idea and sat down to rest.

Tan Qi in the tent finished trimming and arranged the bamboo shoots she dug. She found that she had reached the upper limit of her load-bearing capacity, so she got out of the tent to discuss with Yuan Yan, "Aunt Yan, have you dug enough bamboo shoots?"

Yuan Yan shook her head, "There is still more than three hundred kilograms left."

He and his husband are both strength evolvers. Although they dug a lot in the morning, they were still far from the maximum load target of 750 kilograms they had agreed upon.

Tan Qi asked, "I have dug enough bamboo shoots. Can I help you dig them this afternoon?"

This method of exchange is one of the rules agreed upon by members of the improvised collection team. Tan Qi has to return with the team, and the rest of the time will be idle. Why not help Qi Fu and his wife find bamboo shoots and earn some points.

Yuan Yan nodded, "I'll give you 20 points for each big bamboo shoot, and 10 points for the winning ones, okay?"

They asked Tan Qi to help them search. After digging enough pounds as soon as possible, they could rest for a while before returning to regain enough energy to return to the territory.

“Okay.” Tan Qi readily agreed. She was very happy to be able to earn points based on her own abilities.

Two hours later, at close to three o'clock in the afternoon, the team members dug bamboo shoots that had reached their intended target and began their return journey.

Although there was no need to clear bushes and thorns to clear the way on the way back, the team's load increased and the team was not moving very fast. Especially the rugged section from the bamboo forest to the foot of the third peak of Mount No. 50 is very physically demanding. So after advancing for forty minutes, Xia Qing heard the team members' breathing becoming heavier and heavier, so he called to stop and rested on the spot for fifteen minutes.

Hearing that they could rest, the power evolvers slumped down on the rocks one by one, leaning on their backpacks and breathing heavily. Xia Qing, who is also a power evolver and has been carrying supplies for many years, is very aware of their current state. They will not be able to recover in less than fifteen minutes.

She asked Tan Qi in a low voice, who was slumped on the backpack with his eyes closed, "Qiqi, do you need me to help you carry some supplies?"

Although Tan Qi's little bag is not big, she is only ten years old and is not a power evolver. It is already very good that she can persist until now.

Tan Qi was so tired that her eyes were filled with stars and her throat was hot. She couldn't speak at all and could only raise her palms tremblingly.

Xia Qing smiled and gave her a high five.

This is the action the two took to encourage each other when they were on the verge of collapse after participating in Yanlong's special training. This little girl is telling Xia Qing: She is very tired now, but she can hold on.

Xia Qing walked up to Huo Lei again and asked about his situation. Huo Lei was the oldest one in the team today. Xia Qing visually inspected his backpack and felt that it weighed at least 500 kilograms. For a 48-year-old fourth-level power evolver, carrying 500 kilograms of supplies on a 15-mile mountain road is already considered a full load.

Horrey, who was covered in sweat, gasped, "This work is more strenuous than blacksmithing, but I just drank the nutrient solution and I will be able to recover after a short rest."

Xia Qing nodded, using his keen ears to capture the sounds of animal movements.

Liangzi's voice soon sounded, "Two small animals appeared. They should be squirrels, bobcats or weasels."

Such animals will not attack humans, but they brought a large amount of supplies. Out of caution, Xia Qing decided to defend, "Liangzi, Brother Yue, defend, others rest where they are."

Not long after, a small round white head slowly appeared on a rock three meters away. This little guy stared at the crowd of humans with his **** eyes.
