Wasteland: Hunting the wasteland with a max-level account

Chapter 34 A little test of one’s skills ①

Huajia, morning.

Today is Hua Xiaoqin's first day back in the hunting team.

Hua's mother was busy making breakfast, and her ears were filled with Hua Xiaoqin's nagging voice, and she couldn't help but respond:
  "I know, I know, renting land to grow mangoes and weeds, you've told me over and over again eight hundred times."

"That's not an ordinary mango, it's a poisonous mutant mango. Weeds are also herbs that can detoxify. Your daughter is eager to use them. Remember to take precautions."

"Okay, okay, don't worry."

Hua Xiaoqin had to leave the planting task to Hua's mother when she wanted to go out.

A new shelter was opened, and the original team had already been reorganized.

Hua Xiaoqin was going to report on the third hunting team. She didn't know either the captain or the team members, so it was equivalent to starting from scratch.

The mission of the third hunting team today is to patrol outside the factory walls and eliminate all possible threats.

You must know that the power of plants in the wasteland cannot be underestimated. They have to ensure that there is no grass growing within ten meters of the wall.

This task is not difficult and the team members are very relaxed.

There were also many lively people who gathered together to discuss news about the shelter while weeding.

Hua Xiaoqin wasn't very familiar with them, so she hung close to them, keeping a distance where she could hear the gossip but not be caught working on her hands.

She followed the example of others and destroyed the roots of the weeds she found, then threw them out - but before throwing them, she also stuffed some of the black berry seeds she had found into the soil.

This kind of berry has heavy pigment and can be used as a dye. The key is that it can be grown and raised extensively and can satisfy hunger. It is really a good grain-storage variety planted in the wild.

In addition to black berries, she also kneads mutated mango cores into the mud from time to time. As for whether a second mutant mango forest can grow, it depends on their own destiny.

After throwing away the seeds in her hands, she had heard enough of the team members' gossip and began to focus on assessing the surrounding environment.

The ground beneath your feet is very clean, without any abnormal life forms. The forest in the distance was too far away and beyond the range of the identification technique, so Hua Xiaoqin reluctantly went out to explore.

Within a short time, the hunting team was asked to remove a circle of grass outside the fence.

On the first day back to work, the task was successfully completed.

If there's one downside to the new shelter, it's that it's short-staffed and everyone has less time off.

For example, the original rules about how many days you can have sex and have a few days off have been cancelled.

Tomorrow Hua Xiaoqin will go out with the hunting team to explore the depths of the jungle.

Everyone has just arrived and is very unfamiliar with the surrounding environment. There is no way to regularly go to safe places to collect plants and capture animals like they did in Shelter 61.

Therefore, exploration of the surrounding environment is imperative.

This task is quite difficult. For this reason, the superiors require that two teams must cooperate every time they explore the depths of the jungle.

Before departure, the two hunting teams gathered and reiterated their respective division of labor arrangements.

Hua Xiaoqin is still the doctor in the team and also serves as the shooter.

The team equipped her with three quivers, all of which contained ordinary arrows. Hua Xiaoqin had to pretend to check and wipe the arrows, and apply a slight poison on each one.

I don’t know what I will encounter on this mission. There may be a chance to make a big fortune secretly.

Hua Xiaoqin was very excited, and the scent of grass and trees in the air made her even more energetic.

The days of recuperation in the underground civil air defense project were too difficult, and she looked forward to going into the jungle again every moment.

The forests around the shipyard are mainly broad-leaved forests. A large number of them froze to death last winter. These mutant plants came back this spring and quickly took root and sprouted. In less than a month, the dense forest returned to its previous size.

The ferocious beasts and all kinds of strange and exotic plants inside have been fighting fiercely for territory recently.

For example, the original indigenous wind wolves migrated back some time ago and found that their home had been invaded. They lost their temper and dozens of wind wolves died on the charging wall. Only then did they get the courage to go out and seize the mountains and forests again. .

Hua Xiaoqin was still walking in the middle of the team, her hand still touching her personal weapon. In this kind of dense forest, a boomerang that can turn is much easier to use than a straight bow and arrow. The direction they were traveling in was left by other hunting teams from the previous exploration mission. The map said there was no danger, but no one dared to relax their vigilance.

While walking, the person in front stopped.

Everyone held their breath and were on alert.

I could only hear rustling sounds from an unknown direction in the dense forest.

It's like metal scraping or a belt slipping.

The experienced hunting team members had already gestured to their teammates next to them - it was a snake! It’s still a big snake!

There are snakes in the jungle!
  Snakes that come out to hunt during the day basically rely on their sense of smell. It is impossible for such a large group of people to avoid the search of snakes.

Everyone began to retreat in unison.

However, everyone's speed was still not fast enough. The rustling sound suddenly became louder. After a few moments, a huge head poked out from the leaves above the dense forest. It was visually estimated to be two meters wide.

This is a typical cobra, with a flattened neck and a circle of silver-white stripes protruding from it. The snake's tail is bright red, and its vertical pupils firmly lock the members of the hunting team.

[Identification (Level 100): This is a forest cobra with highly venomous teeth and hard scales rich in metal elements. It is good at ambush prey and has a strong sense of territory. It goes into heat every spring and has a particularly bad temper. 】

Hua Xiaoqin couldn't help but feel excited: Long teeth are highly poisonous!
  The decision is yours, baby snake!

She jumped out of the retreating team and threw out the boomerang without saying a word.

The cobra seemed to have noticed something, and was trying to avoid the attack from the front, but it never thought that the boomerang would hit it from the side, hitting its vertical pupil as big as a lightbulb.

Gah!
  The cobra twisted its body and fell from the tree uncontrollably, hitting the soil heavily.

One of its eyes was exploded, leaving a deep hole. The other eye glanced at everyone resentfully and was about to flee away.

Everyone was stunned and stood there unable to move. They only saw a figure next to them swishing away after the cobra.

Finally someone reacted.

"It wants to escape, hurry up and chase it!"

"Pay attention to the safe distance!"

"Everyone take out your long-range weapons and say hello!"

In dense forests, snakes have a natural advantage.

Hua Xiaoqin almost lost track of the seemingly heavy and venomous snake as it snaked around.

It was thanks to the snake's recklessness and leaving various traces that she slowly followed him.

Soon, Hua Xiaoqin saw the poisonous snake and threw another boomerang again.

boom!
  This boomerang was even more powerful, piercing the snake's eye socket directly into its brain, instantly destroying its nerve center.

The cobra instantly lost its life, curled up a few times, and finally stopped.

Other team members from behind are still on their way.

Hua Xiaoqin was not polite. She stepped forward and put on her gloves. In the blink of an eye, she pulled out the fangs and venom sacs and put them into her collection box.

According to the convention of the hunting team, the main force who captured the prey can give priority to a small part of the prey, and the remainder is divided equally between the shelter and the hunting team.

This snake must weigh at least 500 kilograms. Its scales alone can be used to make several armors, not to mention snake meat, gallbladder and snake bones. Snake meat is non-toxic and can be made into food and distributed. Snake gallbladder can be used as medicine, and snake bones can also be made into it. into a special weapon for subsequent use by the hunting team.

The team members were amazed when they caught up.

Where have they seen such a precise and domineering attack method before? A single encounter can seriously injure a large cobra, and one person alone is worth several hunting teams.

　Xiaoqin embarks on a new journey~~ She is still going hunting~~~
