Amidst the experts' exclamations of surprise, as if they had discovered a new continent, Zhao Gang successfully received a certificate of qualification.
From now on, for at least the next three years, he will be the sole lord of Territory 13.
The expert team also bought two Evolution Potatoes, paying 5 points per pound. The two potatoes weighed a total of 42 pounds, increasing their income by 210 points.
Before leaving, with Zhao Xiaoxiu's consent, the experts took a group photo with the father and daughter under the blooming flower wall, which they planned to take back as a souvenir.
The accompanying reporter planned to write a report when he got back. He even had a title in mind: "A-grade mutant plants have become human guards!"
At that time, this report will definitely receive a lot of attention and bring huge traffic to the newspaper.
However, while the idea was appealing, reality was harsh and domineering.
The reporters and the expert team with the photos hadn't even left Territory 13 when they were taken away for questioning by mercenaries from the biotech company at the territory's entrance.
The photos were deleted, the camera was confiscated, and the reporter disappeared without a trace.
However, Zhao Xiaoxiu, the protagonist in the center of the photo, was unaware of these things. She was packing her small backpack, looking forward to her first mountain training with her master.
After the expert team left, all the lords in Zone B successfully obtained their qualification certificates, and their lord status was officially confirmed.
The newcomers, No. 2 and No. 16, are excluded; their evaluation will take place in the fall.
The rapeseed flowers had already passed their peak blooming season. Zhao Xiaoxiu woke up on an ordinary morning to find the gradient-colored petals scattered all over the ground.
Some of them flew into the yard on the wind, and the orange-red floor tiles looked like they were covered with a soft carpet. Stepping on them felt soft and fluffy.
"Xiao Xiu!" Sheng Qingyang called out from the entrance, accompanied by the roar of her motorcycle.
Thanks again to the Green Field Alliance for their generosity. The lords of Area B, who were originally poor, have become quite well-off, even if they haven't become rich.
Sheng Qingyang bought a top-of-the-line modified off-road motorcycle in full.
It's just that the fuel consumption is a bit high, so she doesn't usually drive it herself.
But today she was taking her little apprentice into the mountains, and she couldn't imagine how much time those two short legs would waste if they walked twenty kilometers by themselves.
So I took my precious motorcycle out anyway.
Zhao Xiaoxiu thought the motorcycle was awesome, so she quickly fastened her multi-functional vest, put on her small backpack, and casually stuffed a mini pistol and two magazines into the gun case on her waist.
Looking up at the adults in the parking lot at the entrance, he said, "Dad, Master and I are leaving now."
"Go ahead, but be careful." Knowing that the cub had been looking forward to this day for a long time, Zhao Gang smiled and gave him some advice.
It just so happens that he and the Meng brothers were also planning to visit the nearby abandoned villages and towns today to see if they could find some second-hand renovation and building materials.
Granny Meng and Xiwa are also going to Jiangcheng today. They had already notified Yin Lan to prepare the home appliances. Today, they will bring the black-backed fish that Yin Lan wanted and plan to go into the city to exchange them.
Only Monkey Sister and Peter Pan are left at home. Peter Pan is still trapped in the water source and cannot go with Zhao Xiaoxiu.
Monkey Sister didn't need to worry about this and happily followed Zhao Xiaoxiu out the door.
Sheng Qingyang was surprised to see Sister Monkey, but didn't say anything. He just asked Zhao Xiaoxiu, "Can it keep up with us?"
Zhao Xiaoxiu nodded and gave Monkey Sister a look. The nearly human-sized macaque lowered its body, put all four paws on the ground, arched its back, and with a flick of its tail, leaped more than ten meters away.
In no time, the monkey disappeared, leaving only urgent squeaks from ahead.
"Master, let's go quickly." Zhao Xiaoxiu hugged her master's lean waist tightly with both hands, clinging to her back like a pendant. Her two little feet were on the storage box, and she couldn't help but tiptoe a few times. She was completely ready.
Sheng Qingyang still checked again, a little worried, and made her put on the small safety helmet he had prepared. He then instructed her, "Hold on tight, and tell me immediately if anything happens."
The orange-yellow safety helmet nodded up and down, "Okay."
Sheng Qingyang was charmed by the cuteness again, a smile appeared on his lips, he fastened his goggles, stepped on the gas, and the motorcycle sped away.
Monkey Sister called out from ahead, and Sheng Qingyang responded by honking his horn. The two people and the monkey left the plantation, crossed the safety barrier, and headed south.
Lords in Area B usually prefer to go to the north and west, as these areas have gentler slopes and easier roads.
Hunting groups that go into the mountains mostly go to these two places, where there are more people and the safety is higher.
Sheng Qingyang dislikes going to crowded places, because more people means fewer prey. To have a good harvest, he has to take more risks than others.
Although she had to bring Zhao Xiaoxiu, a four-year-old child, along this time, she wasn't worried about it.
After her hidden evolutionary ability underwent a second evolution, she can now not only reduce her own presence but also hide her aura, making mutants below Grade A almost completely ignore her existence.
For a hunter, this ability is like having a cheat code, giving them complete control over the hunt.
Mountain bikes can traverse a variety of complex terrains. The master and apprentice crossed shallow waters, ventured into forested slopes, and rode for more than half an hour on steep ridges until finally there was no road ahead.
A cliff appeared ahead, splitting a complete mountain in two.
Half of it is high, and the other half is low, with a ten-meter height difference in the middle.
But because the forest was entirely green, with tall trees and lush canopies, it was a sea of green as far as the eye could see. Someone with poor eyesight might have simply driven their motorcycle down there.
"Get out of the car," Sheng Qingyang said gently.
"Mmm." Zhao Xiaoxiu obediently jumped off the car. As soon as she landed, she was covered by tall, mutated weeds that reached above her chest. Only her orange-yellow helmet could be seen.
Sheng Qingyang couldn't help but smile; there was a reason she chose this place.
Below the cliff is a valley, which will not drown this little one and make it impossible for him to move an inch.
Sheng Qingyang chained the car to a mutated fir tree that took two people to hug. The thorny branches swept around, but he just had to be careful to avoid them.
The weeds stirred, and Zhao Xiaoxiu heard a faint trembling sound. They seemed to say, "It smells so good! There's food here, brothers and sisters, come quickly!"
Zhao Xiaoxiu thought it was coming for her, but when she looked down, she found that there was no way in front of her that the area in front of her had become a vacuum, and all the weeds around her were rushing towards Sister Monkey.
It angrily scratched wildly with its claws, sending bits of grass flying everywhere.
Zhao Xiaoxiu chuckled to herself, raising her eyes to look at the mutated plants that were stirring restlessly in front of her: Make way, make way.
The next second, the trembling mutated plants seemed to be controlled by the hand of God, retreating to both sides at the same time, revealing an archway just big enough for Zhao Xiaoxiu to pass through alone.
Sure enough, after successfully subduing the Green Fairy, her ability to establish connections became much stronger.
The sudden appearance of the road startled Sheng Qingyang. She looked at the little girl standing on the road waving at her. Light pierced through the layers of branches and leaves, scattering around her like a fairy who should have lived in the forest.
