Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 115 A New Lord is Coming
"I'm back!"

Mo Shigui jumped out of the car happily and raised his hand to greet Zhao Xiaoxiu and his daughter in the territory.

Unexpectedly, the other party's reaction was completely different from what he imagined.

Zhao Gang's expressionless face was filled with coldness as usual.

Lord No. 13 Sheng Qingyang, who had become so close to Lord No. 3 at some point, looked at him coldly with a big knife in his hand.

There was also a big brown macaque behind Zhao Xiaoxiu, baring its teeth and looking like it wanted to bite him to death.

Forget about anything else. When he saw the macaque, Mo Shigui subconsciously tightened the pistol at his waist and asked in a calm tone, "Who is this monkey?"

The two adults did not intend to answer, but when they saw that it was him, the coldness in their eyes disappeared.

Zhao Xiaoxiu had to smile and step forward to break the awkward atmosphere. He pulled up Sister Monkey's paw and waved it to explain, "Uncle Mo, this is my friend Sister Monkey. She is an evolved macaque and is very human."

After saying that, he gestured to Sister Monkey and said hello.

Although the monkey sister didn't like the threatening human in front of her, she still waved her paw to show respect to the cub.

Mo Shigui secretly breathed a sigh of relief and laughed again, "I'll come get my things."

Zhao Gang nodded, "Come in."

Mo Shigui raised his hand to signal his soldiers to return to the patrol station first, and then stepped into the territory alone.

When passing by Zhao Xiaoxiu and Sister Hou, he quickly glanced around, discovered the device for practicing swordsmanship, and glanced at Sheng Qingyang in surprise.

This Lord No. 3 does not have a strong presence among all the lords. If it weren’t for the invader last time, he almost forgot that there was such a person in Area B.

Mo Shigui guessed that this should be her evolved ability, just like the ninja's invisibility technique, making it impossible to notice.

Each person's evolutionary ability is more or less related to the evolver's inner desire. Judging from her ability, she should be a marginal person who does not want to have any intersection with anyone.

Unexpectedly, he would appear in Territory No. 13 today, and it seemed that he had a very close relationship with Zhao Gang and his daughter.

"Are you practicing swordsmanship?" Mo Shigui asked in a curious tone.

Sheng Qingyang nodded slightly, with a somewhat proud look on his face, and answered, "Yes."

Mo Shigui was even more surprised, but he didn't say anything. He followed Zhao Gang's footsteps and went to pick up the goods he had stored there.

Today's training mission has been successfully completed, and Zhao Xiaoxiu has also broken through the most important first hurdle.

Sheng Qingyang looked at the weather forecast for the next few days and reminded her: "There will be heavy snow in the future, so I won't come over, but you must complete the daily training punch-in. I will call to supervise you, so don't be lazy."

To Zhao Xiaoxiu, this meant that she should be given a holiday.

I couldn't stop feeling happy in my heart, but I was worried that my master would notice it. I tried my best to keep a straight face and nodded seriously, "I understand. Starting tomorrow, I will call you to report as soon as I finish the basic training."

"So good." Sheng Qingyang patted his apprentice's head with satisfaction, packed up his things, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go."

When Mo Shigui finished counting the goods and turned around, Sheng Qingyang was no longer in the territory.

He looked at Zhao Gang unexpectedly and asked in a somewhat ambiguous tone: "Do you know each other well?"

"We are not familiar with each other." Zhao Gang corrected him sternly: "Xiaoxiu is familiar with her."

All the goods had been counted, and the ones belonging to Mo Shigui and his team were all covered on the truck with tarpaulins. Zhao Gang got into the driver's seat and urged, "Let's go."

Mo Shigui glanced at him with boredom. Every time he and Zhao Gang tried to chat about something, he felt suffocated.

This guy probably doesn't know how to speak properly!
Mo Shigui sat in the passenger seat and closed the glassless door. Zhao Gang gave instructions to Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was held in Sister Monkey's arms at the door, and drove towards the patrol station with the full truck.

On the way, Mo Shigui said, "Two new lords are coming to Territory No. 2 and Territory No. 16. They are coming in a hurry. And with the weather like this, the houses in the territories may not be good for wintering. You have many houses in your territory, how about vacating two rooms?"

As soon as Mo Shigui opened his mouth, Zhao Gang could tell from his tone that he would not say anything nice.

Now after hearing this, I thought to myself, as expected, without even thinking about it, I just refused.

"Hey, hey! Don't be so hasty to refuse!" Mo Shigui asked others not to be hasty, but he himself was the first to be hasty, and hurriedly added:
"I know you'll suffer a loss, so I just applied for a rental subsidy from the base. Trust me, it won't be too much trouble."

"Moreover, the new lord of No. 16 is coming with a family of four. They also have a child who is about the same age as Xiaoxiu. When the two children play together, your Xiaoxiu will have an extra companion. Isn't that great?" Mo Shigui strongly recommended, hoping to impress Zhao Gang.

If he had a choice, he would rather communicate this matter with another lord.

But he had considered the situation in the entire B area. Either the houses were small and few, or the people there were difficult to get along with, or they were too far away from the patrol station.

Although Zhao Gang seems to have a difficult personality to get along with, Mo Shigui actually feels that he is the most genuine person when they actually get to know him. He says what he thinks and doesn't let others guess what he is thinking.

Another thing is that the location of his territory is really good. It is next to the patrol station and close to it, which makes it convenient for him to take care of the two new lords.

They were mercenaries who had been on missions together, so we had some friendship. Since the situation was urgent, they were easier to talk to.

The most important thing is that he has so many houses that can accommodate people!
"You have children?"

Zhao Gang finally took the initiative to ask about the new lords. Mo Shigui was overjoyed and quickly told him the basic information about the two new lords.

The new second lord is a young couple who are in their prime.

"I was originally a member of the hunting group, but I had some conflicts with my relatives in the group, so I quit."

The new Lord No. 16 is a family of four, a couple with their child and the child’s grandfather.

"There are both old and young people, so they should be good people."

Mo Shigui emphasized: "That child is also five or six years old, a little girl, who can just be a companion to our Xiaoxiu."

"We?" Zhao Gang didn't like his wording of building a relationship, so he reminded him, "We're not familiar with each other, don't use such disgusting words."

Mo Shigui was speechless.

He paused for a moment and asked Zhao Gang tentatively: "Is it possible?"

Zhao Gang was puzzled: "Why don't they wait until spring?"

Needless to say, the couple in number two must have wanted to get away from someone as soon as possible after offending him.

The main people are a family of four from site No. 16, both old and young. Aren’t they afraid of being frozen to death by the cruel winter snow if they come here in such a hurry?

"I'm poor." Mo Shigui said in a tone that was not surprised. "I can't afford the rent in the shantytown outside the city. At least I get subsidies for coming to the farming base. It shouldn't be a problem to survive for a month."
