Chapter 5 SMS from strangers


    "In addition to the territory surrounding the safe zone, in addition to the territory surrounding the safe zone, there are: 2, 15, 68, 113, and 166. The Tang family intends to receive three of them."


    Because Xia Qing has been paying attention to the information of the territory, he knows that the five territories listed in this text message are indeed all with high safety factors, flat arable land and thick soil layers. The credibility of this message is very high.


    Xia Qing has been secretly following the Tang family and knowing that they are planning to make a territory, so she would go to the mission hall early to queue up and wait for the Tang family to come.


    In order to accelerate the utilization rate of cultivated land outside the safe zone and solve the problem of food shortage as soon as possible, the highest national department requires the military and governments of all bases to work together to promote the pilot work of territorial work as soon as possible.


    Under the supervision of the military at Huisan Base, the Tang family did not dare to take over the land blatantly, they had to do enough superficial efforts.


    No matter how well you do, there are loopholes in your superficial skills. Xia Qing just wanted to seize the loopholes and take the opportunity to get to Land No. 3. Because this land contains important resources for her survival.


    After sending text messages to the number she used publicly in the safe zone, this person quickly used the communication satellite to send the same text message to the number that had been useless for seven years. Unfortunately, Xia Qing has been shutting down the phone and not finding it.


    It can be said that Xia Qing was able to successfully get to Land No. 3, to a certain extent, thanks to the person who sent this text message. As for who this person is, whether he sent a text message out of kindness or other intentions, Xia Qing could not judge if there was too little information.


    Xia Qing deleted the text message again and yawned into the sleeping bag. She must cultivate her spirit and start a new life.


    ******


    After getting up early the next day, Xia Qing cleaned up the weeds and shrubs in the yard, then left the village with a piece of rations in his arms, heading north through a large area of ??burnt farmland, bypassing the narrow reservoir, and climbing up the hillside.


    In order to ensure that the territory is not damaged by evolutionary organisms, the base sent people to clear out a isolation belt at least fifty meters wide as an excessive zone between the uncleared evolution forest and the territory.


    The isolation zone arranges people to patrol regularly and spray repellent regularly to prevent evolutionary insects and beasts from entering the territory.


    In order to protect the safety of the territory and the lords, there is a buffer forest area between the isolation belt of the mountainous territory and the cultivated land, which is called a buffer forest.


    The three thousand acres of forests that have been cleared on the northwest side of the No. 3 territory belong to the buffer zone, and this buffer zone has also been included in the scope of the No. 3 territory.


    In addition to the more than 2,000 acres of arable land in the territory, the total area of ??the No. 3 territory has reached an astonishing 5,500 acres, far higher than that of a territory that is not backed by mountains and does not have buffer forests in the territory. This division is also to increase the enthusiasm of the lords of marginal territories.


    The buffer forest area has only cleaned up harmful evolutionary organisms, and the grass and trees in the forest are still dense, which is contrasted with the color of the burned charred farmland that has been thoroughly cleaned up and burned.


    Xia Qing came out of her home and used a wooden stick to climb up the shrubs and weeds in the buffer forest, reaching the destination of the trip - a small stone cave with springs in the buffer forest in the domain north.


    This spring was accidentally discovered by Xia Qing when he came to clean up the territory with the team last winter. The spring water gushed out of the spring slowly oozed out on the inside of the narrow stone cave half a meter deep and thirty centimeters high, and then penetrated into the ground along the cracks of the rocks, silently.


    If it weren''t for the rapid evolution of red squirrel that suddenly jumped out of the stone cave, Xia Qing wouldn''t have discovered this spring.


    In order to solve the drinking water problem, Huisan Base drilled three deep water wells in the safe area. The water produced was contaminated and could only be consumed after purifying.


    Because of the high cost of purifying polluted water, the base task sign has always been on the task of finding uncontaminated water sources. No matter what task each team takes out of the safe area, they will take the opportunity to find uncontaminated water sources.


    Over the past ten years, the four unpolluted water sources found within the Huisan base have been gushing out of the mountains without exception. However, because the amount of water is too small, it can only be supplied to hospitals, research institutes, planting centers and a few important people for drinking.


    Xia Qing, who lives by working hard, is certainly not among the few.


    Of course, not all mountain springs are uncontaminated. So when Xia Qing used a carry-on detector to detect that the spring water showed a green light, she immediately made this land her first choice.


    Unpolluted water is the source of life.


    Now, the spring water that can be directly consumed in her eyes finally belongs to her. After Xia Qing took half a bowl of water and drank it all, the advertising slogans of a certain water brand echoed repeatedly in her heart.


    It’s so cool!


    She drinks as much as she wants to drink such clean spring water. Not only did she drink, she also had to wash her face with this water, it was so generous!


    Xia Qing, who washed her face, smiled foolishly and cleared the stone cave. Because she lived in a safe area where people were crowded and cannibalized, she had been nervous for nearly ten years, and Xia Qing could no longer smile, and her expression was a bit ferocious at this moment.


    But this is her territory, and she doesn’t have to be tense anymore. She can talk, laugh, yell and dance. It feels so comfortable.


    Cleaning a cave is a trivial matter for the power evolvers.


    The sound of spring water flowing into the bucket along the clean bamboo slices is like the sound of nature to Xia Qing.


    It takes time to collect water, Xia Qing stood up and looked down at his territory.


    In ten years of natural disasters, no volcanoes appeared here, and no major earthquakes occurred, so the landform here is no different from before the disaster. Even so, there are still many evolved creatures that can easily kill humans in the dense forests and weeds.


    The mountains, forests and arable land in the Xiaqing Territory were also occupied by them three months ago. The remaining pits of several meters on the ground now are the marks of humans fighting fiercely with evolved creatures for this land.


    After the two 20-liter drinking buckets were filled, Xia Qing tightened the lid and stuffed it into an extra-large backpack to hide it. Then he blocked the small stone cave with stones and branches to avoid being discovered.


    After putting the water home, Xia Qing went to the convenience store in the deserted village, opened the ruins with a rotten smell, and took out a crushed stainless steel solar vertical water storage tank.


    This was discovered by Xia Qing when she followed the team to clear the village. She did not bring it back to the safe area and buried it directly in the territory, leaving it as her backup supplies.


    After returning the water tank to its original state, Xia Qing used it to go to the reservoir to get water.


    As soon as I arrived at the edge of the reservoir, a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the water and rushed towards Xia Qing''s face. Xia Qing, wearing a protective mask, slapped it five meters away and hit the stone beside the reservoir.


    After the black shadow rolled for a few times and there was no movement, Xia Qing was happy. Because the one who attacked her was an evolutionary catfish that was thicker than her arm.


    Like many carnivorous evolutionary creatures, evolutionary catfish also incorporates humans into its recipes and will actively attack approaching humans. If Xia Qing had bitten her mouth like a file after her evolution, a large piece of meat would definitely fall off.


    Now...


    Xia Qing cut off a small piece of fish with a knife and put it into the small elemental detector she carried with her. The green light quickly lit up.


    This evolutionary catfish is edible!


    Xia Qing immediately stuffed the catfish into a basin and hid it, so as not to **** the evolutionary prey flying in the sky and **** it away.


    After carefully filling the water, Xia Qing carried the 400-pound water tank home, made a simple filter device with fine sand, fine stones and several layers of gauze to purify the water for the first time, and then installed the primary purification filter element sent from the base to purify the water for the second time.


    Taking advantage of the slow filtration of water, Xia Qing found a handy tool to remove all the moldy and yellowed mottled walls in this two-story building, and clean the ground to reduce pollutants and bacteria in the house.


    Then, she cleaned the rusty iron pot at home, heated the filtered water, and took a hot shower.


    After drinking a glass of spring water every time, Xia Qing, who was so hungry that she was screaming, took a knife and rushed straight to the big catfish.


    She wanted to eat meat for the first full meal when she moved into the territory.
