Chapter 690: No Temper, Easy to Talk To

Before going to No. 50 Mountain, Xia Qing went back to his own territory to get 10 liters of pollution-free spring water before continuing on his way.

The main purpose of her going out today was to deliver potions and water to Zhang Hongda who was treating poison in the hidden valley, and then to carry back the hardness-evolved bamboo from Mountain No. 52 to reinforce the greenhouse.

She first went to Territory No. 7 to make people think that the medicine and water she got were all brought from the idol.

The pollution-free spring water is her biggest secret. The fewer people know this secret, the safer the springs in her territory will be.

Because he was carrying hundreds of kilograms of supplies, Xia Qing could not use a single-soldier aircraft and rushed to the third peak of No. 50 Mountain on foot alone.

Just as she was about to leave the northern isolation zone and enter the valley passage between Mountain 49 and Mountain 50, she encountered the patrol car of the platoon.

When he heard that Xia Qing was going to No. 50 Hill, Su Ming opened the car door without saying a word and wanted to send her there.

Xia Qing certainly wouldn't be too polite if there was a car to sit in. She put her backpack on the bed of the patrol car, sat in the back seat with Su Ming, and greeted Yuan Rui who was driving and Tan Junjie who was in the passenger seat.

Tan Junjie, Yuan Rui and Xia Qing were all relatively silent, and after saying hello, the three of them were speechless.

However, the car was still very lively. Su Ming chatted for a while, then turned the topic to the dagger on Xia Qing's waist, "Sister Qing, is your set of black knives made by Lord No. 11?"

After Huo Lei entered the lord channel, Xia Qing publicly stated his relationship with Huo Lei, so Su Ming asked this question.

Xia Qing nodded and handed the black knife to Su Ming.

"This knife is so heavy and sharp." No wonder Huzi was so envious that he talked to himself for a long time after seeing Xia Qing's knife. Thinking of Huzi, Su Ming felt that the knife became heavier.

He cheered up and asked with a smile, "Sister Qing, what kind of steel is this made of?"

Xia Qing replied, "Maraging stainless steel"

ah? Su Ming was confused, Gang also has a surname?

Tan Junjie glanced at the unsatisfied team members through the rearview mirror, and Su Ming immediately handed the knife to the captain with a smile.

Tan Junjie weighed it and said, "The main material is maraging stainless steel with high hardness, high toughness and stainlessness. The color is so dark and not reflective, so chromium should be added?"

Sure enough, there are knowledgeable people, Xia Qing nodded, "In addition to chromium, trace amounts of cobalt, molybdenum, nitrogen, etc. are also added, which significantly improves the strength and hardness of the steel knife and maintains good toughness."

Su Ming exclaimed, "Sister Qing, it turns out you have really learned how to blacksmith!"

Tan Junjie returned the knife to Xia Qing, "This knife is very good. I will also ask Lord No. 11 to make two suitable ones for Qiqi."

Under the tutelage of Yan Long, Tan Qi also uses a pair of cold weapons with clean and sharp moves. Coupled with her speed evolution advantage, although she is only ten years old now, her combat power is already impressive. If her goal was to kill, she would be sure to win against two or three professionally trained ordinary people.

After her height and strength increase in a few years, her combat power will definitely increase several times.

Xia Qing gave Horella business, "This kind of steel has a high hardness after quenching and needs to be repeatedly folded and beaten at high temperatures. Different tempering temperatures will have obvious differences in the combination of strength and toughness of the knife. Uncle Huo is an expert in this area, You’ve found the right person when you look for him.”

The patrol car bumped along the way and stopped at the foot of the third peak of No. 50 Mountain. Su Ming jumped on the truck and handed Xia Qing's big backpack to her.

On the way back, Su Ming felt a little uncomfortable. After Huzi left, he never carried such a heavy backpack again.

Thinking of Hu Zi, Su Ming remembered the phone call the captain answered this morning, "Boss, what the hell did Brother Hu Zi call you this morning and say?"

Tan Junjie touched the safety bracelet his daughter had knitted for him on his right wrist and replied, "She wants Jiang Ying to come work with us."

Su Ming's eyes widened, "Her job in the food factory was taken away?!"

Huzi died in the line of duty, leaving only two ordinary people in his family: his mother and his sister Jiang Ying. Tan Junjie reported the situation of Huzi's family to the base, and after many efforts, Jiang Ying was finally assigned to work in the workshop of the food factory in the safety zone. The working environment in the food factory is relatively good, and the wages are also good. Jiang Ying's salary plus Hu Zi's pension can meet their living needs.

Su Ming remembered that Jiang Ying only went to work in the middle of last month, not even a month ago. Who the hell is so bold? !

Yuan Rui, who was driving, looked at the captain's expression with his peripheral vision and asked, "Do they think our place is safer than a food factory?"

"Ah?!" Su Ming was even more confused. "Even if we erect a ring of iron mesh walls here, the security is still far worse than the safe area. Huzi's sister is an ordinary person. How can the investigation team be suitable for her? Work? What will her mother do if something happens to her again..."

An evolved animal appeared in front, and Tan Junjie ordered, "Su Ming, go down and catch the snake in front."

"yes."

After Su Ming got off the car, Yuan Rui asked, "Boss, what the hell does Huzi want Jiang Ying to enter the territory?"

If there is no suitable job for the platoon, they can only enter the territory.

Huzi's mother came over a few days ago and wanted to ask Tan Junjie to put in a good word, hoping to arrange a formal job for Jiang Ying in the inner city of the safe zone, and then let their mother and daughter move to the inner city.

Huzi's military experience and merit were not high enough to arrange for his family members to enter the inner city. Formal channels were not available, and their comrades did not have the ability or financial resources to arrange for the mother and daughter to go in.

Hearing the captain's response, Yuan Rui looked at the three-meter-long evolved poisonous snake Su Ming caught in front of the car and frowned, "What's wrong with the work of Jiangying Food Factory?"

More than 30 retired soldiers in the No. 15 territory are all unmarried regardless of age. It is not appropriate to arrange for a 19-year-old girl who is not married to live there. Everyone can see this.

So Yuan Rui deduced that Jiang Ying must have a problem with her job.

Tan Junjie replied, "She said that many people want to take advantage of Jiang Ying, and the factory is not safe. So she asked me to ask Xia Qing if Jiang Ying can go to work in the No. 3 territory."

Yuan Rui was stunned for a while and sighed, "When Xia Qing is not cold-faced, she does look like a person with no temper and easy to talk to."

The last time Hu Zi's mother came over, she happened to catch Xia Qing coming out of the No. 7 territory after finishing her business. Yuan Rui introduced them to each other and the two said a few polite words.

Hu Zi's mother is very good at choosing a place, but Xia Qing will definitely not agree. Yuan Rui asked, "Boss, I'll ask for leave to go over there and see if I can help?"

After delivering a batch of supplies to Zhang He, who was stationed in the dangerous area of ​​the third peak and planting red weeds, Xia Qing went around the southeast of the third peak and walked up a few steps. He was blocked by a honey badger lying on the animal path eating a venomous snake.

Seeing that this guy had no intention of giving way, Xia Qing raised his hand to indicate that he had no intention of attacking, and stepped back a few steps to take a detour.

The flat-headed brother has a bad temper and unpalatable meat. It is also one of the natural enemies of snakes. Xia Qing didn't want to kill it.

But unexpectedly, when Xia Qing walked to the entrance of the mountain stream in the hidden valley halfway up the mountain, he met this honey badger again.

This time, Xia Qing couldn't take a detour.
