Wasteland: Hunting the wasteland with a max-level account

Chapter 10 Visiting Manglin again ①

After all the hard work, Cai Yuan ran to the medical station, but was in vain. Teacher Ji was invited by people from the armory to visit the laboratory and was not at the medical station. He made another trip to the armory and was told that the tour was not over yet. He strongly requested to meet with Teacher Ji immediately, but he was ignored and was not notified.

By the time he saw Ji Yulin, it was already three hours later.

Cai Yuan reported the recent El Niño phenomenon and other anomalies to Teacher Ji, and finally highlighted the bad situation of Hua Xiaoqin being called out of the ground to go on a mission.

Ji Yulin was invited to observe the venom in vivo experiment, and it was natural to understand why Hua Xiaoqin was urgently sent to the ground: this hunting mission was to collect as many mutated mangoes as possible to further produce mango venom. Hua Xiaoqin is the source of the venom, and she is the only one who knows the focus of collection.

Mango venom is a new biochemical weapon with a short metabolic cycle and low fatality rate. It is particularly effective in catching prey alive, especially food animals. However, there are currently too few samples, and the armory urgently needs to expand the scope of in vivo testing.

"...The most important thing is that the relationship between Xiaoqin and the Gao family is quite complicated. I can't explain it. It's just an intuition." Teacher Ji patted Cai Yuan on the shoulder, "You also met Xiaoqin during the blind date today. , how does it feel? That’s a good girl.”

Cai Yuan's ears turned red, but he still shook his head: "Yes, she is a nice person, but we are not suitable..."

"Young man, don't be so judgmental. How can you know whether it's a good match or not if you don't meet a few times? Besides, Xiaoqin hasn't rejected you directly now. It's good to make more friends..."

……

On the other side, Hua Xiaoqin was on the ground in the middle of the team, feeling increasingly uneasy.

The ground temperature is very low today, falling below freezing. Most of the plants have released water, forming white frost on their leaves. All the leaves are weighed down by the frost, and large areas of vegetation are wilting and drooping. You can tell at a glance that they will not live long.

This is plant freeze damage, which starts to appear at a few degrees above zero.

If it occurs in the northern part of the mainland, the vegetation is highly resistant to freezing, and many of them are sub-boreal plants such as coniferous forests.

However, Shelter 61 is located in the southernmost part of the mainland. It can be recorded in history when it falls below zero on normal days, not to mention rapid freezing, which does not give plants a chance to adapt to the temperature.

No one in Refuge 61 has ever seen such a situation before. Everyone's face looked solemn and their spirits became tense.

Many people looked up to see the wall of clouds in the sky.

Although she is a scumbag, Hua Xiaoqin is still much more knowledgeable than most people in the wasteland era.

She knew it was a warm air mass lifted by a cold front.

Geography and physical education are her favorite subjects, so she listens most carefully to the geography class, which includes the chapter on cold fronts and warm fronts.

The wall of clouds right now is the altocumulus clouds formed by the warm air mass being pushed up.

It can be expected that the temperature will drop further in the next few days. I don’t know how low it will be, but there is no way to get away from minus ten degrees.

What kind of mission is this in this damn weather?

Isn't this life-threatening?
  Who have you offended by staying at home?

Hua Xiaoqin proposed to return to the shelter several times, but was firmly rejected by the operation team leader.

This collection operation consisted of three hunting teams, each with ten people, for a total of thirty people.

Hua Xiaoqin still followed the rookie team from last time. The captain was the fat man Lin Zhong, and the swarthy and triangular-eyed Pan Zi who had offended Hua Xiaoqin was also there.

The leader of the team is Gao Qing, the son of Director Gao.

Although Director Gao is about to retire, Gao Qing has no hope of succeeding him. Firstly, because he is too upright and does not have the tact and skill to deal with all forces. Secondly, because he is not an evolver, his force value can only be considered above average, and he is not the top combat power of Sanctuary.

Now Gao Qing is the deputy captain of the hunting team. He is also very satisfied with the status quo and shows no desire for power at all.

For this reason, many hunting team members respected him.

Gao Qing's orders can be implemented. For example, this time, Captain Gao said to continue the operation. Except for Hua Xiaoqin, no one in the thirty-man team had any objections.

"...Although you are the technical director of the operation, you have to direct the collection of mutant mangoes. But I am the general person in charge of this operation. I can go when I say, and stop when I say. If you don't agree, you can Go back to the shelter yourself.”

The implication is that no one will escort her back, so wish yourself good luck on the way!

After Hua Xiaoqin was rejected, she returned to her position dejectedly.

Lin Zhong and others saw all this. Some patted her shoulders, and some secretly talked to her, asking if she felt too cold, and said they could give her a pair of leather gloves.

Hua Xiaoqin raised her eyes and looked at the other party.

It was Pan Zi who pointed out that she touched the corpse that day.

The leather gloves that Pan Zi handed over were very torn. All ten fingers had holes and were patched layer by layer. The threads of the patches had begun to fall apart.

Seeing her looking at her curiously, Pan Zi explained enthusiastically: "Don't look at it, but it keeps you warm! These are genuine leather gloves from the old era left by my grandfather. I always wear them close to my body, and put a pair on the outside for work. The gloves will not be too worn or dirty.”

Not too worn? Not too dirty?

Hua Xiaoqin expressed doubts about this, but she saw the big frostbite on Pan Zi's hands, and was embarrassed to refute his face, so she was in a dilemma.

Aunt Archer saw it and pushed Pan Zi: "Okay, okay, do you think everyone can appreciate your rags?" She squeezed the person away and stood closer to Hua Xiaoqin, with an old face. Full of smiles: "I brought an extra piece of warm baby. This is a hot commodity in the shelter. I'll give you one too!"

Her lips were blue, and she obviously wasn't dressed warmly, but she stuffed the warm baby into Hua Xiaoqin's backpack without any explanation, and carefully checked the zipper to make sure nothing inside could fall out.

Hua Xiaoqin had no choice but to accept it.

Seeing this, everyone else wanted to come over and secretly deliver things. Lin Zhong noticed something was wrong. Gao Qing had already looked at them several times and coughed heavily.

Team Lin's majesty was still there, and the others had no choice but to stop and continue on their way.

Ever since they learned that this operation was to collect mutant mangoes to produce venom, and that Hua Xiaoqin was promoted to technical director, everyone in the team changed their attitudes.

The people at the bottom of the wasteland are all snobbish. They are accustomed to worshiping those who are superior and suppressing those who are inferior. No one thinks there is a problem. In order to please Hua Xiaoqin, the things she sent were very practical, such as baby warmers, which are life-saving equipment when the temperature is low in the wild in winter.

Even Lin Zhong paid more attention to Hua Xiaoqin. In addition to sending the archer aunt, he often came over to ask what was missing, and patted the shoulders to make people around him pay attention. Hua Xiaoqin's safety must be guaranteed in times of crisis.

The action team continues to march on the road.

Every time a person takes a step on the frozen grass, the grass blades and ice residue will be crushed into a lump, making a "click-click" sound.

Except for Gao Qing and a few others who wore waterproof leather boots, everyone else's shoes and boots were soaked through, and the cold air started to rise unknowingly. There is enough heat when walking around now, but as soon as you stop, everyone's shoes and socks will freeze, and then the soles of the feet will develop frostbite.

Hua Xiaoqin had little experience in fighting colds, and her physical condition was extremely good. She only felt wet and cold, and felt irritated. In fact, she did not suffer much damage.

However, they didn't go far before the team stopped at the front.

"Why don't you leave?"

"Who knows?"

"Oh my God! Look ahead! The mango grove is gone!"

　The leaking bathroom and kitchen were being repaired at home. It was noisy and people were smoking everywhere, which made my head grow bigger.

　　Please collect and vote! I will definitely be more motivated if you support me! !
