Chapter 245 Picking chestnuts


    After Xia Qing turned off the walkie-talkie, he began to contact the second power evolutionist, "Does Brother Qi have time tomorrow? I found edible chestnuts. Do you go with me tomorrow?"


    Hearing Xia Qing''s words, Qi Fu almost jumped up excitedly, but he was worried that he would not be able to help if he went there, so he would cause trouble for Xia Qing. "If you have time, you have time, but I am not level 4 and have no experience. If you go there, you won''t cause trouble for you, right?"


    Xia Qing gave him a reassurance, "No. Tomorrow we have a lot of people, you will be responsible for cutting chestnuts, picking chestnuts and transporting them. As long as you have strong strength, you will wear the protective suit you wore in the third rain tomorrow, with high shears, large pockets and a six-meter-long rope."


    In the third rains, when Xia Qing went to the territory No. 5 to clear the yellow trees, he found that Qi Fu and his wife were wearing second-level protective clothing in outdoor areas, one level higher than what they could buy in the safe area. There is no problem with going to the evolution forest.


    After contacting Qifu well, Xia Qing immediately contacted Territory No. 7. She was obviously calling Ji Li, but after answering it, it was Zhang San.


    Zhang San asked weakly, "Want to exchange the potion of yesterday?"


    Xia Qing grinned happily, "Yes. Third brother gave me another fifteen bottles of potions. For the last time, I will give you 32 pounds of green light chestnuts."


    Thirty-two pounds are not a small amount, and Zhang San is also strong, "There is really a green light chestnut tree? What kind of variety? How does it taste?"


    The content of the Liziyi element has been measured and confirmed to be at a normal level. Xia Qing answered very well, "I can''t tell the variety, I haven''t tasted it yet, and I don''t know how it tastes. Why don''t you send it to you first and help me measure the quality?"


    Zhang San was very satisfied with Xia Qing''s answer, "Okay. I''ll let Ji Li go over and take the medicine to you."


    "Thank you, third brother." Xia Qing hung up the phone, immediately put a few green light chestnuts into a sealed bag, and then put five kilograms of yellow light chestnuts to Ji Li who was waiting in the northern isolation belt.


    Ji Li saw that Xia Qing''s protective clothing was ragged and almost turned into a Geely suit, and he knew that it was not easy for her to collect her chestnuts. However, Xia Qing did not mention the collection process, and Ji Li did not ask.


    At six o''clock the next morning, the picking team gathered in the North Isolation Zone of the No. 3 territory on time. In addition to Xia Qing, there were five players in the team: Guan Tong, a level five power evolver, Shi Du, a level four power evolver, Qi Fu, a level three power evolver, Hu Zifeng and Peng Jian.


    After hearing Xia Qing explain this picking mission, except for Hu Zifeng, who was known to have a wide eyelid and his mouth wide, unable to believe his ears.


    Xia Qing, wearing a Geely suit, continued, "I have already explored the way in and out. I just need to be careful of the evolutionary insects that jump out of the road. The reward is three kilograms of yellow light chestnuts per person, and the amount of tasks increases the reward. Although the mucus of the chestnut tree is very sticky, it is not corrosive. It sticks to the protective suit and can be washed off after it is dry."


    After the natural disaster, humans have shortage of food and nuts are even rarer. The transaction price of yellow light chestnuts in the safe area is 80 points per pound, and green light chestnuts are as high as 250 points per pound. At such a expensive price, you have to try your luck if you want to buy them.


    In other words, Xia Qing’s reward for teaming this time is 240 points per person. As a low-risk picking task, if this price is hung on the billboard in the task hall of the safety zone, those who want to participate can line up for Xia Qing to pick it up, and everyone is happy.


    Are broken leaves and dirty things stuck to protective clothing? If it is dirty, it will not affect the quality of protective clothing. This is not a problem in the eyes of humans who are short of food after natural disasters!


    Hu Zifeng discussed with Xia Qing, "You have been there once, and you will be the team to command this time, right?"


    Xia Qing quickly arranged the formation and began to march along the hillside towards the Lizilin Mountain slope. Qi Fu, who entered the Evolution Forest for the first time, was arranged behind Xia Qing and before Peng Jian''s exercise.


    Xia Qing reminded him, "Brother Qi follows me, you can go wherever I go, don''t leave the team. If you don''t follow the route, you will encounter aggressive plants. Peng Jian and I will clean up the evolutionary animals that jump out of the grass."


    Leaving the team in the evolution forest is at risk of life at any time. Qi Fu nodded quickly, "I understand."


    Nearly three thousand meters away, it was a road that was cleared. The team was not slow and arrived at the edge of the chestnut forest in 40 minutes.


    Seeing such a large chestnut forest, even the knowledgeable Hu Zifeng team was so excited that their breathing became heavier.


    Shi Du couldn''t help but be excited and whispered, "Sister Qing, you sent it!" Shi Du knew that Xia Qing rented an evolution forest from the Qinglong team, but he didn''t know how big it was. However, if Xia Qing teams up today, it means that this chestnut tree is within Xia Qing''s contract.


    What''s wrong with this?


    Xia Qing smiled and said, "Whether it is necessary to see if we can bring the chestnuts back smoothly today. When I came yesterday, there were not so many thorn fruits that were cracked."


    Qi Fu whispered to Xia Qing through the headset-shaped intercom in the protective mask, "As soon as the thorns on the outside cracked, the chestnuts fell off quickly. Fortunately, you discovered it early."


    "Sister Qing, your red squirrel is hiding on the fir tree ten meters south of the chestnut tree." After Peng Jiangang reminded him, he saw an evolutionary insect as big as a palm stuck by the leaves of the chestnut tree and began to struggle desperately.


    The cracked thorn on the branch was shaken a few times, and the two chestnuts inside fell off and fell to the ground.


    Several squirrels acted at the same time, snatching the chestnuts from the ground, and then quickly fled. The red squirrel who grabbed a chestnut did not return, but stuffed the big chestnut into his mouth, sprinting a hundred meters on the fir branches, staring at the chestnut forest with round eyes, preparing for the next snatch.


    When you give your all, even a little squirrel can be so handsome.


    "We are divided into three groups, Hu team and Shi Du team, Peng Jian team and Guan Tong team, and I and Brother Qi team. One person is responsible for sniping advanced evolution bees, and one person goes up the tree to cut chestnuts. The leaves and thorn bags of chestnuts are sticky. Try to avoid them and find the green light to collect them first." Xia Qing gave each person a bottle of potion, "Spray half a bottle at a time, and the validity period is three hours. We must pick and collect all the chestnuts within six hours."


    When Xia Qing sprayed Qi Fu with medicine, he explained seriously, "After spraying the medicine, Brother Qi went up the tree to cut chestnuts, and I would deal with the advanced evolution bees."


    "Okay, I''m good at cutting the fruit." When Qi Fu first entered the evolution forest, he had to face the evolutionary hornet that was longer than his fingers at close range. He was not afraid of it being fake, but he didn''t show it at all. He quickly sprayed Xia Qing with some potion and followed her down the tree.


    “Buzz—”


    The six-man team was five meters away from the chestnut forest. The evolutionary hornet rushed over with a scolding, leading the leader were more than twenty evolutionary bees.


    Looking at the hornet that was bigger than the slap, Qi Fu knew that this was what Xia Qing called the advanced evolutionary hornet, and his heart was beating into his throat.


    But in just one breath, the advanced evolution hornet was shot dead by Xia Qing, Hu Zifeng and Peng Jian. Seeing that they were so powerful, Qi Fu''s heart was put back in his stomach.


    The picking team surrounded by hornets rushed into the chestnut forest, first looking for four green light chestnut trees, and started construction. In the first wave, of course, you must first collect the best one.


    Seeing that humans cut off the chestnut ball, the red squirrel who was ready to go immediately rushed forward, snatched two chestnuts while the chaos, and ran away with it.


    Xia Qing saw the red squirrel carrying the locator, but she did not object to it, because these chestnuts were originally led by the little guy, so Xia Qing found them.


    Qi Fu found that Xia Qing, who was determined to use both hands, was not slower than using both hands. He began to worry, took back the high branch clips and quickly removed the rotten leaves stuck on the pole and the cutters.


    But I made a mistake in my busy schedule. I bent the pull rod of the high-branch shears, and quickly straightened the pull rod, but I didn''t control the strength and broke it directly.
