Chapter 71 A Third-Order Python Appears in District 50 (Second Bonus Chapter)
Considering that Zuo Shan was pregnant, Mao Li and Pan Duole were in charge of digging, while Xiao Bao was in charge of crushing the peanut shells with his paws.
Then, Zuo Shan found a flat stone to sit on, and she was responsible for picking out peanut kernels from the crushed peanut shells, then testing and bagging them.
It took everyone working together for a full twelve hours to test all the peanuts, but the results were very encouraging.
Of the 1,000 peanuts, one-fifth had moderate radiation and eight had low radiation.
Each peanut contains 12 to 18 kernels and weighs between 180 and 260 grams, making it a truly bountiful harvest!
Peanuts are one of the most nutritious fruits that can be collected after passing through the left side, and another comparable one is pine nuts.
The amount of pine nuts harvested last time is incomparable to this.
If you disregard the baby Ah Chen in your belly, Zuo Shan feels like she's struck it rich this time.
But now she'd rather keep all of these to eat; she doesn't want to give birth to a sickly baby.
Fresh raw peanuts are so delicious you can't stop eating them. In this wasteland where people rely mainly on wild vegetables, peanuts are simply a natural delicacy.
Zuo Shan was even more grateful for the thorny vines. Without them acting as a barrier to protect her from the greedy mutant rats, she would never have had the chance to collect such a delicacy.
She didn't want to throw away the highly radioactive ones carelessly, so she asked Mao Li to help dig a big pit and bury them all in the surrounding soil. As for whether a larger peanut forest will grow here in the future, that's all up to fate.
Today's harvest was plentiful, so Zuo Shan was naturally happy to be generous, letting Xiao Bao eat her fill first, and she herself ate about two pounds of peanuts.
Finally, he weighed the two burlap sacks, which were stuffed full, and found they weighed nearly 80 or 90 pounds, more than the original owner and Qi Yang had reaped on their last visit.
This time, when Zuo Shan dragged the sack back, he again stuffed the mouth of the sack with the purslane leaves he had picked earlier as a disguise.
But she's not so afraid of being targeted anymore, because Tong Laoda, the only superhuman in District 50, is dead. Now she has Mao Li and Xiao Bao by her side, and even those who try to ambush her can't get close.
The three of them, working together, were practically invincible among a group of scavengers.
If anyone dares to try and steal her sack, she'll beat them up without hesitation!
On her way home today, no one paid any attention to her. Zuo Shan noticed that the scavengers on the road were all in a hurry, so she quietly sent a voice message to Pan Duole. Pan Duole replied with a voice message filled with fear:
"Sister Fan, you don't know, something big happened in the wilderness today. A third-tier mutated python sneaked in from the northeast edge of the energy shield."
I was there at the time, but luckily I was quick-witted and hid under a large leaf, so it didn't find me.
As a result, it strangled four scavengers in succession, crushing their sternums, and then swallowed them whole!
You can't even imagine how terrifying it was. Its body was as thick as a water bucket, and twenty or thirty meters long! I was terrified! Thank goodness you weren't there!
Zuo Shan was terrified. Even though he knew the giant python shouldn't be on this road right now, he still dragged the sack and hurriedly ran home.
My god! This wasteland is too unsafe. As a newbie who has just awakened her superpowers, she can't even beat Xiao Bao with her fighting skills alone, without the help of firearms. She'd better stay at home and live a quiet life.
Back home, she locked the door and quickly went online to search for information, but surprisingly, she couldn't find any information about mutated pythons eating people.
That makes sense when you think about it. In the scavenging area of District 50, only scavengers from that district are active there, and almost none of them would spend money to get internet access.
After the incident, no one thought to report it to the authorities immediately. It is estimated that it will be later, after the news has spread more widely, before any public official will report the information.
When it was completely dark, Zuo Shan received four messages on her wristwatch. They were from Qi Yang, Wu Qiong, Jia Yiming, and Minister Wen. The messages were all similar, asking if she had encountered the mutated python and if she had been frightened.
Zuo Shan wrote a message: I'm fine, I didn't go there today.
Then I selected the contact numbers of these four people and sent the message to the group.
She hesitated for a moment when selecting Qi Yang's contact number, but considering that he was the family member with whom she had lived the longest in this world, she still chose to reply.
Even if they no longer have contact, she believes that the original owner of this body, like Qi Yang, would wish the other well.

At 2 a.m., Modiland Shield, located far away in the central area, had just watched a good show remotely via holographic projection.
His captain of the guard, Monton, had just led his entire guard in a surprise attack and annihilation of an elite samurai group of the Tsuzaki family in the Devil's Forest.
Shortly after returning to the central district, with Matt's help, he discovered the culprit behind his attack: Tsuzaki Ryuga.
As prominent families in the central district, the Tsuzaki family has always been weaker than the Landun family, but stronger than other families. Therefore, the Tsuzaki family has always been committed to weakening the Landun family's power.
As a leading figure among the younger generation, the person Tsuzaki Ryugege most wants to eliminate is Mortilan Shield, without exception.
This time, he had planned for a long time before setting this trap. He originally thought he could kill him with one blow, but he didn't expect that after being seriously injured, he could still escape from the turbulent river.
Mortilan was not one to suffer in silence. Once the matter was verified, he contacted Monton and asked him to seek revenge when the opportunity arose.
Monton discovered that the samurai group training in the Devil's Forest was created by Tsuzaki Ryuge, making it practically his personal guard.
Meng Tong quickly seized the opportunity, ordering his men to lure a high-level mutated beast into the enemy's hunting area. While they were locked in a fierce battle with the mutated beast, he ambushed them and took the prey away without any apparent trouble.
Tonight's massacre can only give Mortilan a little relief; further retaliation is still in the works.
Because he was in a good mood, he wasn't too sleepy and started browsing the news online.
I stumbled upon a post titled: "Mutant Beasts Repeatedly Pass Through Energy Barriers to Attack Humans."
The subtitle is: Scavengers in District 50 are attacked by a third-order mutated python.
He accidentally clicked on it and saw a few short sentences: The attack resulted in four deaths and sixteen injuries, including a pregnant woman who miscarried. It was a terrible tragedy!
His face immediately turned ashen. He wanted to send the woman a message to ask her something, but then he realized that he hadn't added her as a chat friend or had her contact number.
He couldn't help but feel a little irritated. After pacing around the room a few times, he suddenly remembered that he had transferred money to her before leaving, and there should be a record on his watch.
Sure enough, he quickly found the transfer record. Without even looking at the amount, he immediately used his special access to find her contact number and dialed it right away.
