Chapter 460: The Dream of a Paradise on Earth Is Shattered

Xia Qing didn't know how the other people who built this canyon died, but she could see the cause of death of the woman lying on the grave - poisoning.

Her bones were light black, which was a typical symptom of poisoning.

A family of eight hid in this crevice, avoiding the beast tides that were set off after the large beasts lost control, but they could not avoid the attacks of poisonous insects.

Perhaps, she did not die from the attacks of poisonous insects. Instead, she lost the desire to live after she was the only one left in the family, and committed suicide by taking poison.

Xia Qing's eyes turned from the skull to the grassy grave. A few seconds later, a rabbit carefully poked its head out of the hole to check outside. After finding Xia Qing still standing outside the hole, it was frightened and quickly shrank back into the hole.

The soil in the valley was laid for planting crops. The thickness should be about 30 centimeters, which is not enough for rabbits to dig holes and live in, so the rabbits built their holes in the piled graves.

Xia Qing turned and walked towards the three stone houses swallowed by plants not far away.

The tombstones in the valley were beautifully carved, and the stones used to build the stone house were cut very neatly, indicating that this family not only had tools for cutting and carving stones, but also mastered the art of stone carving. They may have made a living from this before the natural disaster.

However, the family's craftsmanship in building wooden furniture was very ordinary, and their vision in choosing wood was not good.

"Squeak-twist-"

Xia Qing swung his knife to cut off the vines and weeds blocking the door, and pushed open the deformed wooden door.

The broken-waisted wolf, who was resting on the fallen rocks, immediately pricked up his ears and stood up to look in the direction of the sound.

Tables, chairs, benches, pots and pans, electric stone carving machines, sledgehammers, plum blossom hammers, generators, oil drums, radios, wooden horses for children to play with... The supplies owned by this family were richer than Xia Qing expected.

Xia Qing's eyes stayed on the family portrait hanging on the wall. Four elderly people in their fifties and sixties were sitting on chairs. The grandmother and grandmother in the middle were each holding a child. Behind them stood a young couple, and the family had peaceful and happy smiles on their faces.

The date on the lower right corner of the photo was three months before the natural disaster.

Xia Qing stared at the smiling beautiful woman in the photo for a few seconds before lifting the lid of the stone jar against the wall. The lid weighed dozens of kilograms, and there was still half a jar of moldy wheat and corn in the jar.

The bedroom on the left had a wooden bed and a wardrobe. The roof was leaking, and the bedding on the bed and the clothes in the wardrobe had become moldy and had become a nest for insects.

There was a relatively complete waterproof bag in the middle layer of the cabinet, with the words "a certain quarry" printed on it. The mobile phone, notebook, kindergarten textbooks and exercise books sealed in the thick plastic bag of the briefcase were well preserved.

Xia Qing put the sealed bag into the backpack, walked into another bedroom to search, put all the valuable materials into the backpack, walked out of the stone house, closed the door, and came to the grave again.

There were grains, salt and clothes in the stone house, but there were no protective clothing, medicines and other necessities of life developed and produced after the natural disaster, indicating that this family had been living here since the natural disaster and had no contact with the outside world.

Xia Qing used a shovel to dig a shallow pit and buried the light black corpse lying on the grave. It was not that she did not want to dig deeper, but the soil layer here was only 30 centimeters thick, and digging further would only be gravel.

After burying the last builder of this valley, Xia Qing picked up the shovel, kicked away a poisonous snake, and took out the poisonous element detector to test the poisonous element content of the hot spring.

Red light, not pollution-free spring water. Xia Qing did not feel disappointed, and turned and went straight to the two peanut growing areas.

Although the leaves of the peanuts turned yellow and began to fall off, the peanut stems were still alive. Xia Qing picked up a palm-sized millipede and threw it over.

The millipede hit the peanut stem and was not attacked by the leaf vein needles, indicating that this peanut was not a green light plant.

Xia Qing dug out the peanut with a shovel, squeezed out the juice for testing, and the yellow light was on.

The first one was the yellow light, which surprised her. When Xia Qing picked the ripe peanuts and put them into the bag, an evolved pit viper raised half of its body from the peanut bush and opened its mouth to scare Xia Qing.

The snake stood up and was almost as tall as Xia Qing, just in time to use it to test the quality of this patch of peanuts.

Xia Qing quickly reached out and pinched the pit viper's neck, and took turns to make it scratch a few circles in the peanut bush. It was found that there were at least thirty or forty green light peanuts in this patch of peanuts!

Xia Qing happily put the evolved pit viper into her pocket, first dug out the attacking green light peanuts and shook off the dirt, then soaked the peanut vines in a high-concentration salt water made from salt found in the stone house, making it inactive, and then put them into a large bag together with the vines.

Then, Xia Qing carried the evolved pit viper to inspect the second patch of peanuts, accurately identified the green light peanuts, harvested them all, and put them into the packaging bag.

After harvesting the green light peanuts, Xia Qing began to test the remaining peanuts one by one, distinguishing the red light and yellow light peanuts, and storing them in categories.

This time, Xia Qing harvested 138 green peanuts, 246 yellow peanuts and more than 400 red peanuts, which was a very gratifying harvest.

After harvesting the peanuts, Xia Qing did not rush to test other crops, but ran to the big rock where the three wolves were, took out the unpolluted spring water in her bag, let them drink water, and she sat on the rock to rest.

It was one o'clock in the afternoon. It got dark early in winter. She had to set off to return to the territory in two hours. The alpha wolf and the broken waist wolf should also return to their territory.

This valley is more than 20 meters long and wide, and more than 700 meters long, but the soil layer only covers the farmland area more than 300 meters long to the west of the spring and the human living area more than 50 meters long to the east of the spring. The 300 meters to the east is the unclogged gravel area. In other words, the planting area is less than one acre.

Xia Qing can take advantage of these two hours to test the quality of plants in the valley and select the varieties that can continue to be planted.

After testing for more than an hour, Xia Qing only found three yellow-light vegetables, green onions, garlic sprouts and ginger, and one green-light vegetable, leeks. This result did not disappoint her.

There are hot springs here but no pollution-free water sources, so we can only maintain a temperature suitable for plant growth. There is no high-yi element soil to maintain plant stability, so most crops have turned red, which is normal.

This is the year of natural disasters on Blue Star, when the living environment has changed greatly.

If humans want to build a paradise, the first condition is to have pollution-free water sources, technology or Yi stones to drive away harmful elements, protective clothing and medicines to resist super-evolved bacteria or poisonous insects, and then a solid barrier to defend against beasts and a temperature suitable for human survival.

Without the former, non-resistance-advanced evolved humans cannot continue to survive on the evolved Blue Star.

Obviously, this family is not resistance-advanced evolved.

It was almost three o'clock in the afternoon, and it was time to return to the territory. Xia Qing sent a message to Hu Zifeng, and after confirming the location of the ten-man team in Territory No. 9, he carried a backpack as tall as a person, left the hidden valley with the wolf pack, and walked out of the bear cave and down the mountain.

After advancing more than 300 meters, the leader wolf who was leading the way in front stopped, crouched down, and showed his fangs. The broken waist wolf and the sick wolf immediately stepped forward and stood on both sides of the leader wolf, forming the attack formation of the wolf pack.
