Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 108 Public Channel
Zhao Xiaoxiu was still relatively restrained. When the monkey sister saw the peanuts and melon seeds, she was extremely excited. She squeaked and quickly stretched out her claws to grab them. Liquid that looked like saliva flowed out of the monkey's mouth and dripped onto the ground.

As a result, before its claws touched the white packaging film, a tentacle swept over quickly and pulled its claws away with a "snap".

Sister Monkey let out a low roar, “Roar!” and her eyes instantly turned red as she angrily searched for the culprit.

After finding out it was Zhao Gang, she instantly wilted like a frost-bitten eggplant, feeling aggrieved.

But I couldn't control the saliva flowing out from the corners of my mouth.

Although Zhao Xiaoxiu felt very sorry for Sister Monkey, she couldn't help laughing at its funny appearance.

"Squeak!" Sister Monkey got so angry that she bared her teeth on purpose to scare Zhao Xiaoxiu.

Of course, Zhao Xiaoxiu was not scared at all.

She stopped laughing and gently stroked the brown hair on Sister Monkey's arm to soothe her. "You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Sister Monkey, don't be anxious."

Zhao Gang warned seriously: "You can't eat peanuts and melon seeds yet."

"Why?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked the question that Monkey Sister wanted to ask most.

She curled her nose. The mutant peanuts smelled really good.

On the contrary, the melon seeds seemed to have no taste, and there was no aroma of melon seeds coming out of the opened shell.
If it didn't look similar to normal peanuts and melon seeds, I really wouldn't be able to recognize what it was.

But Sister Monkey is a monkey who has grown evolved sunflowers. Both the evolved and mutated sunflowers like to sing, and their kernels are open.

The only difference is that the kernels in the evolved sunflowers are sweet and delicious, while the kernels in the mutated sunflowers are tasteless.

It was so excited just now that it didn't realize that the melon seeds in the white membrane were actually mutants, and it was drooling with greed.

Now that Zhao Gang reminded him, he calmed down, smelled it carefully, shook his head wildly, and took three steps back.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was even happier watching from the side.

Zhao Gang said: "These low-level mutant peanuts and melon seeds are not tasty now. When I have time to mix them up, they will taste better."

Zhao Xiaoxiu nodded to show that she understood, and was secretly looking forward to it. She was very confident in her father's cooking skills!
The yogurt at home has not been finished yet, so Zhao Xiaoxiu unpacked all the new box and put it in the refrigerator.

Although yogurt will not go bad if left outside in this weather, how can we not use the newly bought refrigerator?

Zhao Xiaoxiu instructed Sister Monkey to arrange the yogurts neatly in rows, closed the refrigerator door, and pretended to open it for the first time. She saw the yogurt bottles in the refrigerator at a glance, and a strange sense of satisfaction immediately arose in her heart.

She secretly clenched her fists and thought to herself that she must fill the refrigerator with her favorite food!
Zhao Gang boiled some water and used the remaining fire in the stove to light a pot of charcoal to see what the quality was.

The charcoal fire, each as thick as a human arm, was burning in a ceramic basin filled with ash. It was almost smokeless and easy to ignite, but it was too flammable and did not seem to be particularly burn-resistant.

But the indoor temperature soon rose, and Zhao Xiaoxiu felt very satisfied.

"If only not all of the evolved potato seeds sprouted, we could roast them and eat them." The cub muttered quietly.

Zhao Gang patted her head and said, "Yes, it will happen in the future."

Remind her that it's time to go back to her room and sleep.

Zhao Xiaoxiu nodded, and asked Sister Monkey if she wanted to take some charcoal to burn in the greenhouse, but Sister Monkey pounded her chest and glared at her.

It has thick fur, so it doesn't need things like charcoal!
After roaring, he slipped into the woodshed, went out the back door and went back to his tree nest in the greenhouse to sleep.

Zhao Xiaoxiu snorted, what's so great about having Maomao!
He also hugged his chest and walked upstairs angrily, which made the tentacles behind Zhao Gang who were helping to hold the charcoal brazier laugh. They showed their big teeth and made a "hissing" sound.

Have a good night's sleep.

It's rare for Zhao Xiaoxiu to get up so early.

At daybreak, Zhao Gang was already busy outside the house. As long as there was electricity, there would be water. He planned to replace all the broken water pipes in the house, and then get a pump to draw water from the river.

The water tower brought back from Jiangcheng has been installed on the roof. After it is filled with water, we can use the water heater for taking a shower and washing vegetables every day.

Automatic hot water is something that anyone who has ever lived in a city cannot refuse.

But there is no water heater or water pump at home now.

Zhao Gang planned to wait for Mo Shigui to come back and ask him to help him get two machines.

He has "looked" at all the houses in Area B, and there are no bargains to be found if they don't have these things.

Zhao Gang was busy connecting the water pipe outside the house. Zhao Xiaoxiu finished drinking a bottle of hot nutrient solution, stuffed two bottles of yogurt and two persimmons into his small backpack, called Sister Monkey, picked up the bucket and hoverboard, and planned to go to the river to catch some small fish.

Just as I was about to go out, a voice suddenly came from the intercom hanging behind the door.

[I am Lord No. 12 in Area B. If you need edible low-level mutant fish fry, you can bring winter supplies to me for exchange.]

Zhao Gang, who was sawing a water pipe, looked over in surprise.

Zhao Xiaoxiu had forgotten about the walkie-talkies that had been handed in. She didn't expect that since they were always turned on, she would suddenly receive messages from other people nearby.

"That's the sound coming from the public channel. Dad, we can also use the public channel to communicate with other lords in the future."

The information can even be transmitted outside, and anyone who is currently listening to the public channel can hear it.

The distances between territories are so far and not everyone has satellite phones, so walkie-talkies naturally become the most cost-effective communication tool.

In the future, if you have extra supplies at home that you want to dispose of, you don’t need to go to each household to ask, you can just use the intercom to announce the news.

"Dad, I want to go to Sister Dongfang's house to buy fish fry, is that okay?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked Zhao Gang for his opinion.

Buying ready-made ones is much faster than catching them in the river.

The weather was so cold, she was a little worried about what to do if Sister Monkey got caught a cold. They only had one Chinese medicine doctor here, but no veterinarian.

Zhao Gang thought about it, got up, went into the storage room, cut out three meters of cotton cloth and ten kilograms of cotton, put them on the hoverboard, and nodded, "Use this to exchange."

Zhao Xiaoxiu was delighted, but afraid that the fish fry she wanted would be snatched away by someone else, so she asked Sister Monkey to help take down the intercom hanging behind the door, handed it to her father, and asked him to tell Dongfang Ling in advance.

The intercom was tuned to the same channel, and Zhao Gang said: [Lord No. 12, I am Lord No. 13. I will ask my daughter to bring cotton cloth and cotton to you to exchange for fish fry. Please reserve enough fish fry for me. Over!]

The other party replied almost immediately, with a surprised tone.

[Lord No. 12 has received this. Lord No. 13, please come over without worry. Over.]

Zhao Gang looked down at the cub, "Is it ok?"

"Yeah!" Zhao Xiaoxiu nodded happily, jumped onto the hoverboard, sat on the cotton pile, and called Sister Monkey to take her over to change the fish fry immediately.

When I was leaving, I was afraid that one bucket would not be enough, so I took all the basins in the house with me.

When the other lords heard the conversation on the public channel, they became anxious and found winter supplies that met the requirements and rushed to Territory No. 12.

If these edible low-level mutant fish fry can be farmed in large quantities, it won’t be long before you become rich.

Even if you can’t raise it, it’s great to eat it yourself!

Normally there is no one in this wasteland, and the supplies are not as abundant as in the city. The only way to survive is to eat wild game from time to time.
