Chapter 39
The high-intensity range control couldn't last long, and soon Sister Bing showed tiredness on her face, but she gritted her teeth to support it. This process was obviously painful. Li Xiaoxiao looked at the corner of Sister Bing's bitten mouth, blood slithered down, she twistedOverhead and continue to observe the wasp.
She lowered her head and swept around, quickly grabbed a piece of sawdust from the ground, and cut open her palm with the sharp end without hesitation.
The moment Yin Hong's blood flowed out, it was like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter and making a hissing temptation. The bee colony paused suddenly, and then found a more violent impact. Although the offensive was more fierce, the action was dominated by instinct, and the attack becameDisorganized, not to mention cooperating with each other, the fighters are more handy than before, instead of constantly adding new wounds like before.
Li Xiaoxiao clenched her fists to prevent the wound from healing, blood kept dripping, and her eyes scanned the swarm of bees.
She guessed right, the loss of control of the bee colony is the loss of control of the queen bee, it can no longer suppress its instinct, and it is very likely that it will mix in the bee colony and attack itself.
Something shiny caught her attention out of the corner of her eye, a bright yellow brighter than metal.
Wasps are a mixture of black and yellow, but their yellow color is dull, and it is impossible to reflect light like metal, which will only make people feel dangerous and disgusted, so that bright yellow color is so out of place.
"Brother Mo——" Li Xiaoxiao's eyes widened, her heart was pounding, she wanted to say too much, the most important thing was that she might have found the queen, but she lost control of her tongue, so she could only repeat, "Brother Mo——"
Xingfu was very considerate, knowing that they didn't have anything when they first arrived. They left potato seeds in their sleeping bags, which had germinated and could be planted directly. Besides, they also gave them a hoe and a sickle.
Li Xiaoxiao knew that big potatoes could be cut and planted separately, and of course Xingfu also knew that, coupled with the shortage of resources, all the potatoes were given were small potatoes, which could no longer be divided.
She picked out the largest one and buried it in the farmland. The buds can almost be seen jumping upwards with the naked eye.
Li Xiaoxiao rubbed her eyes, not sure if it was really high or it was too dark, she squatted down carefully and fiddled with the potato seedlings, it was too dark, she couldn't see anything, so she went back to the container to sleep with doubts.
With something on her mind, she woke up early the next day, didn't bother to wash up, and went straight to the farmland, and was immediately taken aback.
The bare potato seedlings that were only half the length of a finger yesterday have grown to the height of the calf, and three sturdy buds have emerged from the branches. The green leaves are squeezed together, and the growth is very gratifying, and even the flower buds have emerged.
Li Xiaoxiao knows that potatoes grow fast, and it will take a month. Looking at this momentum, they will be ripe and harvested tomorrow.
She stared at the potatoes in a daze until the sun shone so hot on her body that the sense of unreality dissipated. She couldn't help touching the potato seedlings over and over again, feeling the softness of the leaves under her fingers, and her heart beat harder and harder.
Real, not dreaming.
Sure enough, Heaven never seals off all exits, after so many bad bad things, there will always be good things to happen.
Li Xiaoxiao wiped away the moisture from the corners of her eyes. She originally wanted to reclaim a piece of land next to her and plant some potatoes to compare with the systematically built farmland.Primary farmland out.
She found that the soil under the potato seedlings was dry, so she took water from her backpack, washed herself briefly, and watered the vegetables with the wash water. The water stored in her backpack was limited. She didn’t find any water source in the lap yesterday, so she had to save some water.She hoarded very little, only 30 units after a full dozen.
Due to the tight time yesterday, she almost couldn't buy the farmland blueprints, which made her very vigilant. Now when the refresh point is reached, she will open the system to check the first time.
There are no good things in the mall today, and all that can be exchanged is food.
She doesn't plan to exchange diamonds for food, which can be obtained outside, and she wants to save it to buy more important blueprints.
Li Xiaoxiao picked a place far away from the container, picked up the hoe and began to dig the pit, and dug the soil into the broken dustpan she picked up to store up the soil needed to build the farmland. In addition, this big pit has other uses, and she plans to build two holes on it.Take a piece of wood with a gap in the middle to make a simple dry toilet.
Tired after bending over for a long time, she changed to collecting rotten leaves, and did not let go of the fresh ones, intending to save them for compost. She took a detour to look at the palm trees, and found that the velvet that had been plucked yesterday had grown out, so she went back happily.Picked up once.
But one tree gave too little velvet. She noticed that there were many small palm trees growing nearby, the tallest of which only reached the waist, and the velvet provided was very little. Thinking of her farmland, she wondered whether she could plant trees. After all, treesThe growth cycle of the plant is long, and it is based on years. If it can be accelerated, it will be very useful.
She made farmland here, but she couldn't plant small palm trees on it. It seemed that she could only grow crops. She was very sorry, and maybe apple trees couldn't do it either.
Squeezing small palm trees can create another piece of farmland, but what about the farmland here?
Li Xiaoxiao stared worriedly at the experimental farmland, unable to move it away, so she could only bring potatoes and plant them here.
The three farmlands are too few and not enough. She continued to explore the farm assigned to her by Xingfu. She got out of a pine forest, and a large reed appeared in front of her eyes. Looking at the fluffy reed flowers, her eyes suddenly lit up..
Isn't this hay?
She took out the sickle and began to cut from the edge. Large pieces of reeds fell down and were put into the backpack. The number increased rapidly and soon filled one grid. She continued to store the second grid and cut for two hours in a row.Only when it was full, did it stop with satisfaction and hide in the shade of a tree to cool off.
It's cooler here than her home, and the reeds grow by the water, and you can vaguely see the creek from the place she plucked.
She felt relieved, as long as there was water, there was no need to save the water in the backpack, but she didn't plan to go close to get water for the time being, and wait until the backpack was used up. After all, it was dangerous to be near the water source, and there might be mutated fish in the water.
The hoarded reeds are still green and need to be dried before they can be counted as hay.
It was almost lunch time, Li Xiaoxiao went home, dried the fresh reeds on the flat ground, and made another tomato soup with yesterday's simple stove.
The potato seedlings jumped up a lot, reaching the height of the knees. The flower buds she saw in the morning had already bloomed, and she saw withered white flowers on the ground. Is this because potatoes have grown?
Looking at this posture, maybe can really eat it tomorrow.
Li Xiaoxiao rubbed her belly, tomato soup could no longer satisfy her, no matter how much she drank, she still felt empty in her stomach, she needed something high in starch to satisfy her hunger.
Even though she was still very hungry, she still went out in the afternoon to pick rotten leaves and cut reeds. After a busy day, her clothes were wet and dry, and then wet with sweat. She stinks and was bitten all over her body by fliesBao, just want to take a quick shower.
It's a pity that it's not before the disaster, and there's no way to shower her. She can only use a wooden bucket to hold water, and then scrub it with a towel, but even such a simple cleaning makes her sigh comfortably. When she was in the underground base, she didn't even have enough water to drink., let alone a bath.
The tiredness on her body was taken away by the cool towel, and she felt her pores stretched out. She hadn't felt so refreshed in a long, long time, and only now did she feel truly alive.
so comfy.
Li Xiaoxiao couldn't help washing for a while longer. She brushed her dripping hair back, hoping to draw out the bathroom blueprint and start a life of showering again.
She carried the wooden barrel to the outside of the container and built the farmland with the materials hoarded today.
Xingfu gave a small bag of potato seedlings, there were almost 20 plants, and she built 20 pieces of farmland, leaving the one near the palm tree aside, since there were enough materials, she just built one more, because she was too lazy to run back and forth.
When the potatoes were planted, she watered them with bath water and finally lay down on the camp bed yawning.
I don't know if it's because I'm too tired today, or because I'm happy after washing, or because I don't panic because I have food in my hands.When the hands and feet are weak.
Li Xiaoxiao came to the edge of the farm to check the condition of the crops. The growth was as rapid as ever. She put down her heart and went to look at the potatoes that were planted first, which shocked her again.
The potato plant was almost twice the size of the other side, with dense leaves and thick stems. The most eye-catching thing was the bulging roots, and there was a touch of yellow in the soil.
Could it be potatoes?
Li Xiaoxiao took out a hoe from her backpack and dug out the potatoes. The yellow color was finally exposed from the soil. It was indeed a potato, but it was still a big potato, bigger than her fist, and there were strings of potatoes underneath.But it was her first time digging, and the posture of the hoe was wrong due to inexperience. The hoe smashed a small potato, which made her feel so distressed.
She held on tightly to the big potato, which weighed heavily, but it made her happy, and made her feel at ease.
The big potatoes must weigh more than a catty, and with the addition of those small potatoes, it is estimated that the dug out weighs more than two catties. There are potatoes, so must eat this in the morning. If you don’t eat the meat, you can eat the potatoes first.
She didn't have a knife, so she boiled the potatoes first, then peeled off the skin, and couldn't wait to stuff them into her mouth.
Potato flour is glutinous, the more you chew, the more delicious it is, and you will feel fuller when you eat it. It is very satisfying. It is not like eating tomato soup.A little bit.
After Li Xiaoxiao ate one, she realized that she hadn't tested for radiation, but she wasn't very worried, because the potatoes didn't have a strange smell after being contaminated, and the radiation index must not be high. Sure enough, the index after the test was all below five, which is equivalent to no radiation.
She ate the big potatoes. Since the disaster, the endless hunger that has been pestering her has finally disappeared. Her body is very relaxed, and the food and drink are so wonderful that it is difficult to express in words.The newly green potato seedlings couldn't help laughing when they thought that they wouldn't have to starve in the future.
Life has never been so hopeful.
Li Xiaoxiao got up after lying down for a while, put the boiled potatoes in her backpack, and prepared to eat them at night. There was no time to flow in them, so she didn’t have to worry about spoilage. She wanted to eat all the potatoes. Anyway, she didn’t have to worry about tomorrow’s food, There will be new potatoes ripening tomorrow.
In the end, the water used to boil the potatoes was not wasted, and she used it to water after cooling down.
If each potato plant can produce two catties of potatoes, twenty plants will be forty catties, and ten catties will be kept, and she plans to go back to the city to buy some seeds, peppers and salt to enrich her own recipe.The fields in the field can also be expanded.
Li Xiaoxiao has a head start, and she is full of energy and goes out to work with a sickle in her hand. She has enough energy to eat well, and her efficiency is much higher than yesterday, which makes her feel happier.
Even though the mosquitoes and flies were overwhelming and biting her all over, it didn't affect her good mood. By the way, she achieved three achievements halfway through, received hay, fertilizer and soil and accumulated 100 units of diamonds.
After four o'clock, when the sun was not shining so brightly, she ran to the patrol and asked them when they were going to the city to pick her up.
"The day after tomorrow, remember to come in the morning."
"Row."
Li Xiaoxiao returned home humming a song, and her good mood came to an abrupt end when she passed the farmland. She found that one of her potatoes was missing, and there was only a dug hole left in the field.
What?!
She looked at it three times in disbelief, but every time she couldn’t see the potatoes, her heart felt cold. After careful inspection, she found that the hole should be scratched by claws. There was a sound of flapping wings above her head. She raised her head and saw a big black bird flying by., still holding potatoes in its paws.
Damn, this thing stole her potatoes!
Li Xiaoxiao was very angry, Li Xiaoxiao was very angry, but she had nothing to do with the flying bird.
After thinking about it, she could only get a wooden fork and place it in the farmland, and put the wet clothes she washed on it to dry, barely acting as a scarecrow.
She was still not at ease, and happened to pull a batch of vines in the afternoon, and simply sat at the door of the house to weave rattan frames, and used them to store potatoes the day after tomorrow. She was going to sell things, so she couldn't take them out of the system backpack when selling.
The scarecrow seemed to have worked, and didn't see the birds coming to plan food afterwards. It might also be that it was too late and they returned to their nests.
This incident made Li Xiaoxiao realize that farming is not so easy, and there will always be various accidents.
The next day, the eighteen potato seedlings in the field were all mature, bringing her at least thirty-six catties of potatoes. She didn't know how to plant them for the first time, so the first potatoes dug out were exposed to the sun, and they turned green and grew.Buds, can't eat.
Li Xiaoxiao regretted it a lot, but fortunately the farmland was vacant and needed to be planted, so the green potatoes just happened to be planted, and the ones just dug up seemed unnecessary, so she had no other choice but hoped that the farmland produced by the system would be different.
When it was time to make an appointment with the patrol team, she put on the rattan frame on her back and set off.
Hope to switch to rice and salt, chili will do too, the bird fades out of her mouth.
What Li Xiaoxiao is not good at is facing this kind of solemn thanks. She joked: "You can talk about it after you get it. In case I go back on my word, wouldn't you be tricked into thanking me for nothing?"
"Then I will be at a loss."
Qiang Zi saw that she didn't care, so he didn't say anything more. Thank you should not be in words, but in action.
When Li Xiaoxiao returned to the farm, Master Li and Qian Sen Qi came out to welcome them, and they were relieved to see that they were doing well.
Although Master Li didn't know what they were doing, he could feel the solemnity of the atmosphere. He didn't want Li Xiaoxiao to have an accident, not only because she wanted to hire him to do things, but more importantly, this little girl was a good person. He didn't dare to be a good person himself, but he hopedWell-intentioned people can have a happy ending, making people feel that this world is at least not so dark and hopeless.
After Li Xiaoxiao came back, she took a hasty shower and fell asleep.
This time, she fell into a dark sleep. After being woken up, she still felt that she didn't get enough sleep, and couldn't keep her eyes open. The person who called her saw that she was very sleepy, rubbed the hair on the back of her head, and let her continue to sleep.
When she woke up from a deep sleep, it was already eight o'clock in the evening, and she had slept for thirteen hours.
Li Xiaoxiao rubbed her weak shoulders, stepped on the ground and almost knelt on the ground, she quickly supported the edge of the bed and stood up.
Sure enough, she slept for too long. She belongs to the kind of person who can never fall asleep after enough sleep. At most, she sleeps at nine o'clock. Sleeping for thirteen hours like this time has never happened before.
Chen Mo looked at half of the potatoes left in her bowl, shook his head helplessly, picked up a few mouthfuls and ate them, and took the bowl to wash.
Seeing Li Xiaoxiao running out like a bird with cheerful steps, Qiang Zi teased: "Although I'm here to deliver good goods to you, you don't have to be so unreserved, the corners of your mouth are grinning behind your ears, please accept, please accept.".”
Li Xiaoxiao knew that Qiang Zi was here to give her spoils. Before, he was riding a bicycle when he didn't give away or pull things. This time he drove a car specially, and it seems that he pulled a lot of goods.
Qiang Zi took Qian Sen down and unloaded the same thing without stopping.
She probed and found that most of them were honeycombs. This one was made of beeswax secreted by mutated wasps, which contained powerful radiant energy, and it was just right to use it as fertilizer for apple trees.
In the end, Qiang Zi got into the car, took out a small tight box, and solemnly handed it to her, "You must keep this, the patrol battalion is just so small, if you drop it, it will be gone."
Li Xiaoxiao guessed what was inside, and when she opened it, she found that it was the familiar bright golden color. Inside the wooden box was the lower half of the Queen Bee's body. Even though it was only half of it, she was extremely surprised.
This is probably the most valuable item among all the trophies, and the patrol battalion is willing to give it to itself?
Qiang Zi knew what she was shocked about, and to be honest, he didn't expect that this was the queen bee, which was different from those worker bees who caught a lot of them. Even the most troublesome parasitic wasp was under its control, that is,It is said that the queen bee is the entire group, not to mention that it has most of the mutant energy.
He was afraid that Li Xiaoxiao would not know the goods, so he used this thing as a simple fertilizer, approached her and said under his throat, "The old professor in the research institute has already started research, put it away first, and talk about it after the research results come out.I don't believe that there are some supernatural abilities on my body."
Li Xiaoxiao thought the same way, and planned to store the queen bee in the system backpack after people left.
Wang Jiajia is still in the urban area and has not come back. Although the parasitic wasp died together with the queen bee, the bad influence it caused has not been eliminated. The patrol battalion even divided
