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

Chapter 73 Killing the Evolved Eggplant

Xia Qing, who was sitting on the ground, whispered softly to the grumpy sheep boss who was standing between her and the pumpkin vine, constantly scratching his front hooves, "Boss, you can't touch this pumpkin vine, right?"

"Hey." Mr. Yang yelled, and wanted to push Xia Qing back. He was very afraid of this evolutionary pumpkin vine that seemed to have no offensive power in Xia Qing's eyes.

Xia Qing stood up and took two steps back along the strong path of the sheep. He touched the spiral horn of the sheep and praised it, "Boss is so awesome. He can tell at a glance that there is something wrong with the pumpkin vine. If it weren't for the boss, I would have been tricked today. Ours The family would have to collapse without the boss.”

The sheep boss was praised, his mood improved significantly, and his eyes narrowed. It raised its head and stood beside it, signaling Xia Qing to continue to praise.

As Xia Qing praised the sheep, she followed the pumpkin vine with its leaves drilling out one by one, and locked onto the root of the vine. She picked up the shovel and gestured to shovel the soil. When she saw that the sheep boss had no objection, she started to take action.

After shoveling to the root, Xia Qing discovered the ability that the pumpkin vine had evolved: the pumpkin vine had evolved stickiness, and its roots stuck to the shovel and couldn't be shaken off.

 No wonder the sheep boss wouldn’t let her touch it with her hands. If this thing stuck to the protective suit, she would definitely turn green, regardless of whether it was corrosive or not.

Fortunately, she gathered the pumpkin vines together one by one, otherwise the normal pumpkin vines would have been stuck and would have been destroyed.

Xia Qing used a shovel to roll up the roots of the pumpkin vine into a ball and took it out of the rain shelter. The roots were facing upward and inserted into the ground to prevent it from touching the soil and continuing to grow.

 Another one evolved a pumpkin, and Xia Qing did the same thing.

Then, Xia Qing pressed the intercom button to the lords and shared the news with other lords, "Three potato trees appeared in territory three and evolved, blooming and releasing C-level poisonous gas; two pumpkin trees evolved to be highly sticky and can stick to each other. Please be careful with shovels and sticks.”

Qi Fu immediately replied, "Received. An evolved eggplant appears in Territory No. 5, and the spikes it grows can pierce protective clothing. Please be careful."

Zhao Ze spoke with a cry in his voice, "Two of my workers were injured. Now we don't have enough manpower, so we can only guard the fields with rain shelters. Can you send someone over to help me?"

No one picked up on him, and in the rain, everyone was too busy caring for themselves to help others.

Zhang San’s voice sounded in the Lord’s channel, “Keep all the sticky pumpkin vines for me, and I’ll exchange them for supplies.”

Xia Qing pressed the button, "Received. It has been balled up and stuck in the cultivated land with a stick. It is still alive."

Kuang Qingwei asked the price, "Third brother, how can I exchange the evolved pumpkin vine?"

 Zhang San replied, “Fifty points for one tree.”

Two trees are one hundred points, which is enough to buy five new shovels. Finally, we have recovered some losses.

Xia Qing felt better. After leaving the sweet potato rain shelter, she opened an umbrella to cover herself and the sheep boss, and carefully observed the buffer forest.

 After confirming that no big trees had evolved, Xia Qing took the sheep and walked towards the hillside on the grass path that was too late to clean up.

More than an hour has passed since the last inspection. The vegetable seedlings in the vegetable garden are more important than picking up the weeds.

  There is a river flowing from east to west between the hillside and cultivated land in Territory No. 3. The wide part of the river was transformed and expanded into a long and narrow reservoir. The narrowest section of the river was only more than three meters wide. Xia Qing used stones to build a stone bridge one meter above the water in this section.

It is very dangerous to cross the river in the rain. The stone bridge must be higher than the water surface so that Xia Qing can take the initiative when the water creatures jump out of the water to attack.

It has been raining for more than four hours, and the river has risen a bit, but the water level is still 80 centimeters away from the stone bridge deck, so we can cross the river. The cautious Xia Qing picked up a fist-sized stone and threw it to the other side. After confirming that no water creature jumped up to attack, he took the sheep boss onto the stone bridge.

Unexpectedly, when one person and one sheep walked to the center of the bridge, two red shadows suddenly jumped out of the water and attacked the sheep boss!

 No matter how fast the attack speed of the water creature is, it cannot escape the sight of Xia Qing, the ninth-level visual evolution person. "Boss, run over!"

 While issuing the order, Xia Qing used an umbrella to block the two red shadows.

With two "bang bangs", the attacking aquatic creature hit the umbrella made of iron sheets and was slapped to the shore by Xia Qing with a machete. "Boss, take delivery!"

The sheep boss rushed up and clicked his hooves, kicking the two creatures that were trying to jump back into the water farther away from the water. Xia Qing rushed up and slapped the two guys' heads flat with two more blows, then quickly packed and sealed the bags.

They were actually two 30-centimeter-long fish. Grandma’s. No matter why there were such big fish in the river, she got excited!

Putting the fish bag into his backpack, Xia Qing patted the spiral horn of the sheep boss and praised him softly, "Boss, you are the sheep standing at the top of the Blue Star Pyramid. You are the sheep who created a new era in the history of evolutionary sheep. We have The fish ate!”

 The sheep boss who doesn’t eat fish has an expressionless face.

 The woods in the rain are several times more dangerous than usual. Entering the buffer forest in the red level rain is no different than seeking death.

But Xia Qing had already cleared the trees within 20 meters around the planting areas, so although the two planting areas were on the hillside, they were no longer in the category of woods, and there were not many dangerous and aggressive evolved animals that could be hidden.

The rainproof shelter in the planting area on the high slope, from the large toon tree to the evolved perilla, is about five meters wide and 120 meters long. There are a total of twelve terraces with a steep slope. The low-slope rain-proof shelter is also about five meters wide and 130 meters long from the spring to the spinach field. There are 13 terraces in total with a gentle slope.

In order to save materials and improve the drainage capacity of the drainage ditch, Xia Qing did not build a rainproof shed for each terrace. Instead, he built an entire rainproof shed for each planting area, covering more than a dozen terraces from high to low. .

 Because the planting area is not straight up and down, the quality of the construction is required to be higher. Fortunately, Xia Qing is an expert in building rain shelters, so this is not a problem for her at all.

Standing at the foot of the hillside and looking up, these two rain shelters look like two long white worms lying on the hillside. To outsiders, it might seem intrusive, but in Xia Qing's eyes, it feels like a full sense of accomplishment and security.

This white rainproof shelter helped her vegetables keep out the rain.

Xia Qing took the sheep boss into the low-slope rain shelter first, and started to inspect the spinach on the bottom terrace.

 Spinach, peppers, beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, none of them evolved. Xia Qing focused on the eggplant, but there was no evolution of the long-thorned thorn mentioned by Qi Fu.

Continuing upward, Xia Qing found that the ten vines on both sides of the rain shelter had grown more than one meter in length, with more than a dozen leaves sprouting out.

Cuttings of sweet potato vines evolved in the red rain.

Xia Qing shoveled out the sweet potato vine and found that the sweet potato vine that had only been cut for two days had a dense root system of more than 30 centimeters long on the buried section of the vine on the outside of the shed.

This piece of soil has been dampened by the rain outside the shed. Her terrace drainage ditches are not good enough and need to be improved.

 After eradicating the evolved sweet potato vines, Xia Qing continued upward. After passing two grape vines and a spring, he led the sheep boss out of the first vegetable rain shelter, passed through the isolation zone and entered the second one.

 After entering the second rain shelter, the sheep boss refused to leave. Because of the evolved perilla, Xia Qing also enclosed it in the high-slope vegetable rainproof shed, and the sheep boss wanted to eat it.
