Wasteland: Hunting the wasteland with a max-level account

Chapter 52 Autumn Hunting②

For this fall hunting, they need to prepare meat for winter and avoid mutated animals that may migrate south, such as the elephant herds that once appeared and the bird flocks they hunted last year.

In addition, the agricultural team also proposed a hypothesis: the banyan forest is not afraid of sulfur, but is afraid of highly acidic soil.

Slightly acidic soil is well-loved by plants, but highly acidic soil is a different story.

In addition, the banyan tree has mutated, and some of its functions may be easily affected by the acidity and alkalinity of the soil, so the banyan forest is particularly afraid of sulfur.

In order to verify this, after the typhoon, Hua Xiaoqin led a team to the banyan forest carrying freshly prepared concentrated sulfuric acid.

Concentrated sulfuric acid is a high-risk item. Hua Xiaoqin and others only dared to move forward slowly and could not drive at all - after all, it was impossible to completely avoid potholes when driving in the woods.

The concentrated sulfuric acid that the hunting team transported step by step to the front line of the Banyan War really worked.

As soon as Hua Xiaoqin opened the cap of the sulfuric acid bottle, the banyan tree noticed something and backed away.

The sulfuric acid fell to the ground, and the banyan tree was like a mouse seeing a cat, retreating even more than before.

As soon as the roots deep in the soil withdrew, the entire land immediately sunk downwards.

The hunting team members were caught off guard and climbed up from the pit one by one without caring about protecting the sulfuric acid bottles.

All the sulfuric acid brought out by the team was sprinkled into the large pit where the first banyan tree was evacuated.

The first banyan tree is also crowded, squeezed, and squeezed to the north.

Beside the broad-leaved forest, a large open space was instantly vacated, the size of half a basketball court.

The animals inside were disturbed and hid in the depths of the banyan forest.

The hunting team didn't dare to pursue it, for fear of encountering some angry mutant and dying in vain.

"Record the data, the neutralization time of soil acidification and the distance the banyan tree retreats. Let people continue to send sulfuric acid, and we strike while the iron is hot and connect the passage here to the edge of the large pond next to the second banyan tree."

After Hua Xiaoqin finished speaking, she ordered people to continue pouring sulfuric acid along the west direction. She sorted out her equipment and set off north to look for prey.

The first banyan tree moved too quickly and lost many prey.

This also caused Hua Xiaoqin's map to be unable to be refreshed, and she could only use her five senses to observe and predict.

Hua Xiaoqin bent her bow and set an arrow, shooting at all the moving bushes and undead vines that fell on the ground.

Many vines were dug into the soil, struggling to grow tentacles, drawing in the flowers and celery and corroding them into nutrients.

However, Hua Xiaoqin was not careless. She took out the Miao knife that she had not touched for a long time and cut the vines into pieces with a swipe.

According to the teachings of the old man in the swamp village, the most important thing is to destroy a crystal at the root of the vine. Hua Xiaoqin searched for the approximate location and smashed it with a few cuts. The whole plant seemed to have pressed the pause button, and there was no response. .

This was the first time Hua Xiaoqin fought against mutated plants without using her full-level panel and skills, and she also won a complete victory.

She killed the vines, knelt down and started collecting.

[Collection (level 100): Successfully collected mutated crystal core fragments*17! Successfully collected mutated crystal core fragments*32! Successfully collected...]

In addition to these mutated plants, many animal babies that have not yet grown up also fell on the vacated land.

How many baby wood rats had their burrows destroyed, how many baby birds of various kinds fell from the trees and were lucky enough to survive, how many baby hares were just learning to jump out of their holes...

These cubs have not yet learned survival skills and are easily captured by humans.

After sweeping half of the basketball court, Hua Xiaoqin caught nearly fifty animal cubs by herself, and handed them all over to other hunting team members who sent sulfuric acid.

"We must pay attention to removing their attacking organs. We will have feed in the future, so we don't have to worry about them not being able to eat and survive."

Hua Xiaoqin explained carefully and asked the team members to send all the cubs to the Ministry of Agriculture. I think the Ministry of Agriculture must be very happy to get a new experimental product!
  Now that the new sulfuric acid has arrived, Hua Xiaoqin and other team members followed the same pattern and continued to clear the way west.

But this time, everyone was on guard, and the sulfuric acid was sprinkled into the land in a straight line as originally planned, without any more accidents.

The first banyan tree retreated again and again, and in the afternoon, it simply gave way to all the plant parts to the south without waiting for the sulfuric acid to arrive.

Hua Xiaoqin and others did not dare to be careless. They continued to acidify all the soil along the straight line without wasting any prey, and ran to the Ministry of Agriculture again and again.

During this period, everyone came to the well where Hua Xiaoqin shot the mutated frog last time.

The mutated frog has dried up, and the blood beside the well has dried up and turned black. Everyone followed Hua Xiaoqin's method and lowered living things to the wellhead, but found no life. In the end, they did not dare to go down the well and directly filled the entire well with stones, ending the historical mission of deep mountain wells.

In order to consolidate the results of the victory, everyone built simple sentry towers on the acidified soil. Each tower was equipped with sulfuric acid bottles, which could be sprinkled into the soil at any time to prevent the banyan tree from coming back.

At the end of the first day, the hunting team had acidified three-quarters of the original location of the first banyan tree and arrived at the ancestral hall that Hua Xiaoqin discovered last time.

The people of the wasteland did not believe in Buddhism or their ancestors, so the ancestral hall had long lost its meaning and was immediately transformed into a frontline post station. All kinds of equipment and materials were piled inside, including bottles of sulfuric acid that would be used the next day.

The next day, the hunting team continued westward and soon arrived at the village.

The monkeys inside still didn't know the reason for the banyan tree's retreat. They bared their teeth at the hunting team and declared their territorial sovereignty.

Even the presence of Hua Xiaoqin could not calm them down.

It seems that monkeys will always be monkeys, and don't expect them to evolve to the level of understanding chemistry in a short time.

The hunting team ignored the monkeys and continued westward after passing the village school. The sound of the monkeys fell behind everyone, getting softer and softer until they could no longer be heard.

After driving the second banyan tree northward, the group successfully arrived at the large pond the next evening.

Seeing the pond, Hua Xiaoqin finally felt relieved.

What happens next is much simpler.

The hunting team excavated along the west side, directed the hot spring water to the west, and began to drive away the third banyan tree.

Before setting off, Hua Xiaoqin asked everyone to wear protective clothing newly produced by the industrial team.

This new equipment has just been launched online, and its style is very similar to the one Hua Xiaoqin made herself.

Covering everything from head to toe, it is used to prevent the swarm of poisonous mosquitoes and fragrant flowers within the area of ​​the third banyan tree.

Everyone also plugged their ears in advance and only communicated with hand gestures to prevent mutated animals from being attacked by sound waves.

Protective clothing, digging soil and diverting water, the third banyan tree took the longest to drive away, taking three days.

However, since the pond is connected to the sulfur island that Hua Xiaoqin dug last time, there is no need to use sulfuric acid anymore.

The hot spring water moved westward and continued for more than ten kilometers, finally opening the entire passage.

Hua Xiaoqin took off the protective suit and helmet first, and others followed suit.

Standing on the slope, everyone was filled with emotion as they looked at the former home and shelter.

After being away for about half a year, they had completely transformed and were no longer the humans who used to hide underground and occasionally go out hunting.

Now led by Captain Flower, human beings are making great strides forward, hunting in the sun and enjoying meals in the natural wind.

Everyone has hope that in their lifetime, they may be able to live in a house on the ground...

　immediately! The official fall hunt is about to begin!
