In the Tenth Year After the Natural Disaster, Follow me to Farm Chapter 701

Chapter 701: Deeper and Deeper Enmity

Xia Qing slowly closed her open mouth.

When the wolf brought the wolf with a broken spine for treatment last year, he gave Xia Qing four stones and a pack of herbs at once.

Xia Qing didn't realize the importance of this wolf to the northern wolf pack at the time, but now she completely understands.

This wolf is just like the first wolf, terrifyingly strong.

It may not necessarily understand what humans describe as "ecological balance", but it saw the scene in the video of a honey badger catching a venomous snake.

The number of snakes in this area has increased, and the alliance between pythons and snakes has become stronger, and the wolves will be at a disadvantage. As a smart wolf in the pack, he took the initiative to find solutions during the period when the alpha wolf was pregnant and raising cubs.

It is nothing to be surprised that the brain-evolved wolf, which knows how to keep wild boars in captivity, raise a smart sheep, and how to make deals with humans, has brought the honey badger, the natural enemy of snakes, from other areas, and reduced the number of snakeheads that have proliferated in the northern evolutionary forest... Bar?

No wonder a honey badger suddenly appeared near the third peak of No. 50 Mountain. No wonder this honey badger, who was in awe of the sky and the earth, turned around and ran away when he saw the black wolf.

Xia Qing digested the shock and asked, "Broken waist, did you just catch this honey badger? Wouldn't that honey badger die after eating a snake?"

The Broken Waist Wolf did not answer Xia Qing's question. It put away the small tips of its fangs and turned its head to continue studying the video.

An hour later, the broken-waisted wolf was wearing Xia Qing's scrubbed snakeskin protective clothing, carrying a roast duck on his back, and a bag of freeze-dried food in his side pocket. He walked out of the security door and was about to pick up the little honey badger under the eaves of the corridor outside the security door.

To prevent mosquitoes, Xia Qing installed a screen door outside the security door. Because the screen door is directly next to the security door, mosquitoes will still run into the house when the door is opened and closed, so Xia Qing optimized the screen door this year.

She ordered a rectangular wooden shelf out of wood, with the same length and height as the security door, and a width of 1.5. This wooden frame is close to the security door on one side, with a screen door on the outside, and thick insect-proof netting on the other three sides. This is equivalent to creating a disinfection channel and mosquito buffer zone outside the security door.

Every time Mr. Sheep enters the house, he must first enter the screen door passage, then rinse his feet in the water basin next to the door, then rub his hooves on the straw mat next to it, and finally open the security door and go in.

Xia Qing taught this process once, and Boss Yang learned it. Because she was holding a piece of delicious green bamboo shoots to teach, Yang Lao University was particularly attentive.

A broken waist wolf?

After watching Mr. Sheep pass by once, he became self-taught.

Xia Qing was the first to lift up the little honey badger, "This guy just caught a venomous snake. There may be venom from the venomous snake on his fur. You have to take care of the wolf cub when you go home. I'll take the little flathead back to No. 49 Mountain 3." district."

One person and one wolf left the human territory and entered the third area of No. 49 Mountain. Xia Qing placed the little honey badger under the big pine tree. The broken waist wolf sniffed the little honey badger again and looked up at Xia Qing.

Xia Qing nodded, "Understood, this little honey badger is your companion, I will not hurt it."

The broken-waisted wolf showed the tips of its fangs and smiled, then set off on the road with the roast duck and freeze-dried duck.

After it disappeared, Xia Qing decided to call her idol, "Third brother, can honey badgers resist the poison of snakes?"

Although I don't see how this little honey badger is strong, the fact that it is so valued by the Broken Wolf shows that it is not ordinary.

Zhang San must be doing research, his voice was very sober, and he answered patiently, "The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor in the nerve endings of the honey badger has been mutated, and it has evolved the ability not to bind to neurotoxins. And it has a special kind of Enzymes can break down and neutralize harmful components in snake venom, so honey badgers have high resistance to neurotoxins and blood toxins from venomous snakes.”

"There is a research institute in Lancheng that applied for a research project on the honey badger's resistance to snake venom two years ago. I haven't seen them publish the research results yet. Where did you find the honey badger?" Xia Qing did not mention the honey badger. It was the Broken Waist Wolf who was caught because it was too unnatural. She was afraid that people other than her idol would hear it, so she captured the Broken Waist Wolf for study. "On the day I went to dig bamboo shoots, I found it at the foot of the third peak of No. 50 Mountain. I caught a honey badger. Today, this honey badger ran to the third area of Mountain 49, ate half of the viper and fell asleep."

“The two places where honey badgers appeared are exactly the same areas where we found poisonous snakes, so I wanted to ask you if this is possible.”

Zhang San was very interested, "You stay there and I'll ask Zhang Song to go there right away."

“Third brother.” Xia Qing asked seriously, “Can you not capture this honey badger and take it to Territory No. 7? It is a companion of the wolf pack.”

Um?

Zhang San raised his glasses, "Are you sure it's a companion, not food?"

The wolf is one of the natural enemies of the honey badger.

Xia Qing didn't mention the wolf, "I'm sure. When I went to carry bamboo later, I saw the black wolf from the northern wolf pack together with this honey badger. That was the day I gave you the herbs."

Zhang Song, who was carried over by Huo Zhun, took off his protective mask and held on to the big pine tree for a while before putting on special gloves and began to examine the honey badger that had been poisoned by viper venom.

Xia Qing asked, "Brother Song, is this honey badger okay?"

Zhang Song answered very professionally, "Based on the teeth, this honey badger should have been born last spring. It is precisely because of its young age and inexperience that it preys on evolved vipers whose venom contains both hemotoxins and neurotoxins, and If you eat the viper's venom sac and it's not poisoned to death, you'll be lucky. Judging from its vital signs, it will take at most an hour to wake up."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Song measured the body data of the honey badger in detail, took blood samples of the honey badger, and took samples of its saliva, fur, and even dander, and finally put half of the viper into the sample box. , stood up slowly, "There will be various dangers in the wild of the Evolutionary Forest. It is best for Miss Xia not to stay here and return to the territory as soon as possible."

“Sister Qing, let's go.” The task was completed. Huo Zhun, who was responsible for protecting Zhang Song, reached out and picked him up, preparing to return to his territory.

It was night now. Zhang Song, who was being carried by Huo Zhun, did not ask him to walk back. He just discussed with Huo Zhun very humbly, "Brother Huo, we are not in a hurry. Can we not jump back?"

"Okay." Huo Zhun was very easy to talk to. At Zhang Song's request, he gave up the faster and more labor-saving jumping method and ran away with him on his shoulders.

After they walked away, Xia Qing checked the needle holes on the little honey badger. After confirming that the needle holes were not red or swollen, he sprayed it with some anti-insect spray. Finally, he touched its head and made a wish, "Little Flathead, you have to live up to your expectations. It's up to you to eliminate the snakes in this area.”

If honey badgers can eliminate snakes, humans will no longer have to waste money and resources on this matter, and can focus on production and farming, so that more people can have enough to eat and survive.

Half an hour after Xia Qing left, the poison in the little honey badger's body eased and she woke up. It stretched and rubbed in the soil for a while, and then felt hungry.

When you are hungry, you have to eat.

The little honey badger rolled up and stood up and turned around, but he couldn't find the stick of meat that he hadn't eaten before going to bed! !

The little honey badger was so angry that it gasped. After sniffing carefully, it quickly located the enemy who had snatched its prey. It searched for the breath to seek revenge, but was stopped outside the north gate of the iron wall of the northern human territory.

Through the camera, watching the little honey badger frantically tossing outside the north gate, Xia Qing muttered to the sheep boss, "It doesn't think I'm the one who robbed it of its prey, right?"

This hatred is really getting deeper and deeper.
