Reborn in the wasteland, picked up a soldier king

Two hours later, the collection team finally arrived at the designated picking location.

All you see are wild bayberry trees, bright red and lush green, with bright red bayberries hanging from the branches.

Twenty years ago, the settlement designated several nearby forests as trial areas and planted bayberry trees on a large scale.

However, the fruits were still poisonous, so the trial failed and the bayberry trees were left to grow.

This bayberry forest is often visited by strange beasts, which makes it very dangerous, so mercenaries are responsible for picking the bayberries.

It is said that every year several scavengers who come here are killed or injured.

Whether you can come back alive depends entirely on luck.

……

Lin Xiyao came to the area assigned to her according to the number plate.

A dozen poplar trees laden with fruits were her collection work today.

Lin Xiyao nimbly climbed up to the treetop and looked around. The mountains were like rolling waves, the red clouds were flowing and undulating with the wind, and the fragrance of plum blossoms was floating in the air.

The scenery is quite beautiful.

"Damn... the toxic content is 30%, it is recommended to consume in small amounts."

Lin Xiyao calmly picked the bayberries and threw them into the backpack hanging around her waist.

The fist-sized bayberries are tender, juicy, sweet and sour. As long as she fills a basket with them, her trip will not be in vain and she can even make a small profit.

However, Lin Xiyao had other plans.

"Damn... the toxin content is 17%, it can be eaten."

Lin Xiyao stretched out her little hand.

Hey.

coming.

The next moment, the bayberry was thrown into the basket and disappeared.

That's right.

Lin Xiyao stole the low-toxin bayberry.

Although the Corps members repeatedly emphasized that it is absolutely forbidden to hide or eat the bayberries secretly.

Once discovered, the picking permit will be immediately revoked and the person will be driven out of the bayberry forest.

But Lin Xiyao has a golden finger. As long as she is careful, no one can find the bayberries that are stored in the space.

And she only likes the low-toxic ones.

"Damn... the toxin content is 10%, it's edible."

The higher up the tree you climb, the lower the toxin content in the bayberries. Lin Xiyao picked them happily.

It is said that twenty years ago, researchers developed a purifier that can purify contaminated soil.

So, this trial planting land came into being.

Unfortunately, the purification failed, but fortunately, the yield of this poplar forest is higher than that of other collection sites.

In one morning, Lin Xiyao harvested fifteen low-toxin bayberries, and there were only a few medium-toxin ones in her backpack.

There is an hour break at noon to eat, drink water and go to the toilet.

As soon as the whistle sounded, the scavengers of the Corps gathered together.

"Yaoyao, how did you harvest today?"

Ji Wansu trotted to find Lin Xiyao, his face flushed.

Her backpack was filled with most of bayberries.

Good harvest.

Lin Xiyao lifted the backpack lightly: "Unlucky, there are only these few."

"Ah... so little?"

Ji Wansu took a look at Lin Xiyao's backpack and it was simply horrible.

"It's okay, Yaoyao, I picked a lot."

"Give me some."

As he spoke, Ji Wansu poured bayberries into Lin Xiyao's backpack.

This action immediately attracted the cold eye of an old lady nearby.

The aunt was slightly plump, with freckles all over her face and a messy hair. She said in a sarcastic tone: "Oh, the little girl is quite generous."

"I didn't pick much today, how about you give me some?"

Ji Wansu paused and looked over with dissatisfaction.

They are not related or friends and she doesn’t even know him. How can this old lady have the nerve to say that?

Lin Xiyao held Ji Wansu's hand and said, "Wansu, don't fall."

"There's still time in the afternoon."

"It's okay. I can't carry so much."

"Just think of it as helping me carry some."

Ji Wansu insisted on sharing some bayberries with Lin Xiyao. Although she lived a very poor life, she always remembered Lin Xiyao's kindness.

"Oh, you can't recite it?"

"I have an empty backpack here, how about I lend it to you?"

Before Lin Xiyao could say anything, the aunt next to her started talking first.

Such people are really annoying.

"you……"

Ji Wansu turned around and glared at the aunt.

"Forget it, Wansu."

"There are always people in this world who say the grapes are sour because they can't eat them. They have no ability but always want to get something for nothing."

Lin Xiyao pulled Ji Wansu to sit down and gave her a bottle of nutrient solution.

The old lady with the chicken-coop hair was so angry that her shrill voice rose unconsciously.

"Cheap?"

"Little bitch, who are you calling cheap?"

"I just can't stand people like you. What have you been doing this morning? Don't you have any idea of ​​what's going on?"

"Pick a few bayberries to win the girl's sympathy so that she can share some with you."

"Your tricks are all left over from my old age."

The old lady with messy hair stood up suddenly, instantly turned into a messenger of justice, and scolded Lin Xiyao.

In fact, everyone can see through her little thoughts.

Lin Xiyao was too lazy to argue with her and had an idea.

The next moment, a black shadow leaped out from the low bushes.

There was a chill on my head and a sharp pain.

The aunt opened her mouth and eyes wide, staring at the strange beast that flew over her head and landed in front of her.

"Roar……"

The little guy roared ferociously, holding a tuft of hair in his mouth, revealing his newly grown fangs.

"Ahh... strange beast, help me."

The old lady was so scared that she peed her pants instantly. Her legs were shaking and she collapsed to the ground, screaming in fear.

"What happened?"

Soon, Zeng Xiaowen rushed over with a team of mercenaries.

When she saw the little one, a strange color flashed in her eyes.

The next second, an unpleasant smell of urine came, and Zeng Xiaowen glared at the old lady on the ground with disgust.

Streams of yellow urine flowed down the aunt's legs, soaking her pants.

Lin Xiyao: "..."

I was really scared to death.

This is too scary.

"Lin Xiyao, take good care of your pet."

Zeng Xiaowen scolded coldly, covering her nose and taking a few steps back.

Lin Xiyao nodded slightly.

The old lady on the ground had already lost her soul to fear, and her eyes were full of fear as she looked at Lin Xiyao.

Would people who can afford to keep a pet care about a few bayberries?

She was just being mean.

Lin Xiyao: "..."

If you can move, you won’t beep.

As long as you have the strength, arguing and quarreling are a waste of time.

……

After this little episode, the scavengers climbed up the bayberry tree again.

Because we had to reserve two hours for the return trip, we didn't have much time to collect samples in the afternoon.

The little one didn't go far and played in the nearby bushes.

Soon, the whistle sounded, signaling the end of picking.

Lin Xiyao slid down from the bayberry tree, and the small basket of bayberries was her harvest for the day.

Moreover, they are all poisonous bayberries.

If other scavengers were like her, the big boss behind them would probably be so angry that his face would turn green.

It’s too much of a loss.

Even this is not enough to pay the mercenaries' wages.

"Little one, let's go."

After getting down from the tree, Lin Xiyao didn't see the little one and couldn't help but shout out.

At this time, the little one was catching butterflies in the bushes and having a lot of fun.

When Lin Xiyao found the little one, she shook her head helplessly.

An orange butterfly the size of a palm sometimes flies high, sometimes lies low, playfully teasing the little one, sparkling in the sun.

Suddenly, Lin Xiyao frowned.

Glowing butterflies?
