Zhao Xiaoxiu and her two companions hurried to the westernmost edge of Territory No. 13. Across a five-meter-wide main road, they saw several patrol cars parked in front of the dilapidated bungalows of Territory No. 12.
Soldiers were carrying three mutated corpses out of the house.
In front of the house, Bai Cailing grabbed Mo Shigui's hand and cried her heart out.
Dongfang Ling was disheveled, leaning against the sign for Territory No. 12 by the roadside, wiping her gun. Her slightly trembling fingers betrayed her unsettled state of mind.
It was just across the street, and people on the other side quickly spotted the father and his two daughters.
Dongfang Ling looked up warily, and when he saw that it was Zhao Xiaoxiu and the others, the wariness in his eyes subsided slightly, but he did not intend to speak to them and turned to go into the house.
"What brings you here?" Mo Shigui also noticed the three of them.
Zhao Gang pointed to the ground beneath his feet, "We haven't left our territory."
Mo Shigui choked, he often couldn't figure out Zhao Gang's thought process.
But since they were already there and had obeyed and stayed in their territory, he couldn't force them to leave.
"Station Chief Mo, who are these three corpses?" Sheng Qingyang pointed to the three body bags on the vehicle and looked at Mo Shigui with a puzzled expression.
Mo Shigui: "The corpse of the intruder."
Sheng Qingyang was a little surprised, "I didn't expect the patrol team to be so fast and arrive so timely."
Mo Shigui's lips twitched. If he didn't know that the three people on the other side of the road had just arrived and were unaware of the truth, he would have suspected that Sheng Qingyang's words were sarcastic.
"Ahem!" Mo Shigui coughed twice, looking at Bai Cailing, who was crying in the room, and Dongfang Ling, who had a cold face: "The patrol team failed to arrive in time. On behalf of all the patrol team members, I apologize to the two lords!"
Bai Cailing stopped sobbing and said kindly, "It would be better if you were faster next time."
Dongfang Ling snorted coldly, looked down at the wound on his arm that Bai Cailing had already treated, and refused to accept Mo Shigui's apology.
"The patrol team is just for show," she scoffed. Her distrustful gaze swept over all the patrolling soldiers present. "Station Chief Mo, it's happened once, twice, three times already. Don't you suspect there's something wrong within your ranks?"
There are thirty people at the patrol station, equipped with vehicles, advanced weapons, and communication equipment, in addition to today's tightly interwoven patrol network.
Two waves of intruders came in one night, and the patrol team failed to detect them in time. Does this mean it conforms to science?
The soldiers who were still busy patrolling immediately stopped and looked at Dongfang Ling with hostile eyes.
Bai Cailing quickly stepped forward to explain, "These were just angry words spoken in a moment of panic, please don't take them to heart."
The tense atmosphere then eased.
Even after Mo Shigui and the others finished asking questions and left, and the gate of the Dongfang Ling family slammed shut, Zhao Xiaoxiu and the other two standing across the street were still in shock.
If they heard correctly, the three intruders who broke into Territory No. 12 were actually killed by the two lords, Dongfang Ling and Bai Cailing, working together.
“Dongfang Ling is a skilled marksman, so I’m not surprised that she could kill the intruder. But Bai Cailing can kill people?” Sheng Qingyang murmured in surprise.
It was almost dawn when the three of them suppressed their shock and hurried home to catch up on some sleep.
The next day, the patrol station summoned all the lords to the station for a detailed meeting report on the intruder incidents that had occurred over the past two days.
Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father, along with Sheng Qingyang, then learned that the three intruders from Territory No. 12 last night had been poisoned by Bai Cailing and then shot by Dongfang Ling, who killed them on the spot upon entering the house.
The lords were all taken aback, never expecting that Bai Cailing, who usually seemed so enthusiastic that it was almost annoying, would have such abilities.
Similarly, Sheng Qingyang's ability to discover the intruders in advance and instantly kill one and seriously injure another was also exposed to the lords.
Unlike Bai Cailing, who used medication, Sheng Qingyang, facing two evolved humans alone, should have no chance of winning.
Therefore, the lords secretly speculated that she was probably also an evolved being. As for what kind of evolutionary ability she possessed, that remained unknown for the time being.
There's an unwritten rule about evolution: don't ask unless someone brings it up first.
During the meeting, only Bai Cailing asked the question out loud.
Sheng Qingyang smiled, not denying his identity as an evolved human, but did not answer Bai Cailing's question.
After recounting the three intrusion incidents over the past two days, Mo Shigui dropped a bombshell.
“I just received the latest news from the base. In addition to our B area, there have also been intrusion incidents in the other two planting areas, A and C, in the past two days. The situation is even worse than ours.”
"An investigation team has been set up to investigate this matter. The base will send someone over soon to conduct the investigation. We are just letting everyone know in advance and hope that all lords will cooperate, because the higher-ups seriously suspect that there are accomplices of invaders lurking in our three major planting areas!"
The lords were shocked. Looking at the other lords and patrolling soldiers around them, they suddenly felt that none of them seemed like good people.
Especially the lords who had already formed teams looked at their teammates with suspicion.
Mo Shigui didn't have the energy to care about these things. Even if there was a mole, he still had to finish planting all the land that needed to be planted.
The meeting ended in the morning, and at noon the lords carried the sprouted evolved potato seedlings back to their territories to plant them.
The number of evolution potatoes is limited; each lord receives only twenty jin, which is roughly three to five potatoes.
How much land can be planted depends on how many seedlings sprout.
Students taught by the same expert can have varying abilities; some have a high germination rate and can cultivate over a hundred square meters.
Some have low germination rates, so you can only plant about 70 or 80 square meters.
Zhao Gang was in the middle; he had four potatoes, each sprouting about twenty seedlings, and successfully extracted eighty seedlings.
This amount can be planted in an afternoon.
The process still involves clearing the land first, then digging deep pits to bury the seeds, covering them with soil, and watering them. The entire planting process is easier than that of rapeseed.
As evening fell, the potatoes were all planted, and the father and daughter were carrying hoes and preparing to go home when three unfamiliar military green pickup trucks drove into the territory of Area B.
Two of the vehicles passed in front of Territory 13 and headed straight for the patrol station.
The other car was parked in front of Territory 13.
The only vehicles that can drive so openly into the planting area are those from the official base.
Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father exchanged a glance and looked over suspiciously.
A man dressed as a soldier got out of the passenger seat and opened the back door of the truck.
A boy wearing a light blue down jacket immediately jumped out of the back seat, dodged the soldier's hand, and jumped off the vehicle, shouting excitedly:
"Zhao Xiaoxiu!"
Yang Mei, dressed in a white protective suit, got out of the car and shouted sharply, "Yang Hengjie!"
The little boy, who was about to run into someone else's territory, suddenly stopped and stood there anxiously looking at his mother.
"What did your mother say to you before you came?" Yang Mei asked.
Youyou's little head drooped, and she said weakly, "Before entering someone else's territory, you must first get the lord's permission."
Yang Mei breathed a sigh of relief, took her son's hand, and stopped him with a look as he eagerly stepped into the territory, leading him to territory number 13.
