Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 117 Little Sister

When Mo Shi returned, Zhao Xiaoxiu's family had already cleared the road from their doorstep to the entrance of the territory.

The snow piled up on both sides of the road, forming a guardrail. Zhao Xiaoxiu used her height to compare and found that the two snow wall guardrails were as high as her waist.

If the heavy snow continues, the guardrails will completely block her view in less than two days.

Looking back at the awning and photovoltaic panels on the roof, the snow on them was already ten centimeters thick.

It is not convenient to release all the tentacles to work during the day, so Zhao Gang plans to wait until night to sweep the snow off the roof.

Mo Shigui was driving a patrol car with a snow shovel installed in front of the car. He shoveled snow while driving to ensure that the basic roads in the territory were unobstructed.

The loudspeaker on the roof broadcasts heavy snow warnings in a loop, reminding the lords to be careful.

When Mo Shigui first met Zhao Xiaoxiu and his daughter, he asked, "How are the potatoes and rapeseed planted in the fields?"

Zhao Gang first carried his daughter into the car, covered her neck and collar, and then responded: "Very good."

The mutants have strong survival ability, so just pay attention to the virus mutation situation.

This little bit of snow won't do them much harm.

Knowing that the crops were in good condition, Mo Shigui felt relieved. He reminded the father and daughter to sit down and started the patrol car.

Sister Monkey threw Zhao Xiaoxiu's kettle into the car window and went home to watch the door.

Zhao Xiaoxiu waved at it, and looked forward to following her father and Mo Shigui to leave the territory to meet the new lords.

The patrol car drove slowly and took half an hour to reach the entrance of the territory.

When we arrived at the entrance, two snowplows converging from several other directions also arrived.

Mo Shigui was in the lead, with the other two snowplows following behind. As a result, the snow outside was even thicker, and they were so slow all the way that they couldn't move very fast.

But shoveling snow is also one of the patrol's tasks, and the roads must be kept open so as not to cut off contact with the outside world.

Each of the three major planting areas was responsible for one week. There was little snow in the previous week, so the task in Area A was easily completed.

Now it was Area B's turn to clear the roads. The snow was falling heavily and the soldiers had to complete their tasks honestly while complaining about their bad luck.

"It looks like if we don't go out to meet him, the new lord won't be able to get in at all."

Since Zhao Gang and his daughter didn't talk, Mo Shigui was the only one in the car talking to himself.

"I don't know what the situation is in Taoyuan Base right now. I was in a hurry to return to the planting area yesterday, so I didn't have the chance to go into the city to take a look."

"By the way, our base leaders decided to make Jiangcheng our new base. Before the snow started, some people had already moved to Jiangcheng with the official troops."

"In the future, except for the planting area and the bio-manufacturing factory that will remain here, everyone else will probably move there one after another."

"When the road is opened, our B area will be able to lead to Taoyuan Base and Jiangcheng."

"The facilities in Jiangcheng are quite complete. The provincial hospital has been reopened and the old buildings are easy to renovate. They can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people."

"As long as there are no more Advents, we humans will have truly survived."

Speaking of "arrival", Mo Shigui suddenly nudged Zhao Gang, who was sitting on the co-pilot seat, with his elbow. "How did that giant creature from the sea suddenly appear over the city? Is it because we wanted the original site of the base to be too close to the sea?"

If that's the case, now that the base has been moved to Jiangcheng in the inland hinterland, it should be avoidable, right?

Zhao Gang: "It didn't appear suddenly, it just happened so fast that it looked like it appeared suddenly. It was an angry revenge."

Mo Shigui raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Revenge?"

Zhao Gang nodded, "To be precise, it's a punishment."

His tone was so confident that Mo Shigui got goosebumps for no reason. He wanted to ask: How do you know?

I also remembered Yang Mei’s strange attitude towards the father and daughter.

His intuition told him that the unexpected terror might, probably, perhaps, be related to the 'lost object' that the base had been looking for.

Could it be that it was because the people in the base stole things they shouldn't have stolen that they suffered a punishment?
Yang Mei's attitude towards the father and daughter has always been strange, so Mo Shigui naturally thought that Zhao Gang had actually learned the details of the "lost property" from Yang Mei.

Thinking of this, Mo Shigui automatically shut up.

He wanted to know the secret, but he knew better that the more he knew, the faster he would die.

So, let's end the topic here.

Mo Shigui suddenly fell silent. Zhao Gang looked at him strangely. Why didn't he continue asking?
Mo Shigui: “.”Brother, even if you dare to say it, I dare not listen!

"Someone!"

Zhao Xiaoxiu, who had been paying attention to the situation ahead, suddenly reminded excitedly.

The two men sitting in the front row immediately looked up and saw a group of people carrying large and small bags, struggling to move forward on the snow-covered road.

A young couple walked in front, leading the way. An old man with sparse gray hair was supported by a woman in her thirties, following the footprints left by their predecessors.

The last person walking was a man in his early thirties, his hands were full of luggage and he was carrying a child on his back.

This configuration is completely consistent with the situation of the two new lords.

Mo Shigui stopped the car, picked up the microphone and called the names of the two lords.

The person on the other side immediately raised his hand and waved excitedly in response.

"Looks like it's them. Get out of the car." Mo Shigui said to Zhao Gang and his daughter.

The snowplowing task had to continue. The soldiers in the last vehicle switched to the first vehicle and continued to clear the road with the second snowplow, leaving the last vehicle to Mo Shigui and others.

Seeing the vehicle coming to pick them up, the two new families immediately became excited and quickened their pace to get closer to Zhao Xiaoxiu and the others.

When the other person came up, Mo Shigui confirmed the other person's identity again, and after confirming that it was correct, he introduced him with a smile:

"This is the Lord of Territory No. 13, Zhao Gang, and his daughter, Zhao Xiaoxiu. It's snowing heavily and your territory is not suitable for wintering, so I took the initiative to arrange for you to stay temporarily at Zhao Gang's house. Is that okay?"

This is just a polite question. How dare the two new families have any objections?

Naturally, they all agreed, showed their goodwill to the "landlord" Zhao Gang, and took the initiative to introduce their names.

Territory No. 2 is inhabited by a couple. The husband is called Wang Xiang and the wife is called Qiu Bai, both are years old.

Territory No. 16 is a family of four. The hostess is Jiang Ning, the host is Liu Chuan, they have a five-year-old daughter Liu Miaomiao, and Jiang Ning's father Jiang Miao.

You can feel the two completely different styles from their self-introductions.

The couple in site No. 2 are confident and generous, and they have a strong aura.

Among the family of four on No. 16, only the hostess Jiang Ning was enthusiastic and positive. Liu Chuan and Grandpa Jiang didn't talk much and didn't take the initiative to be polite.

As for their daughter Liu Miaomiao, she seemed to be in poor health, or maybe it was because the weather was too cold, she looked listless.

Only when he saw Zhao Xiaoxiu did he prick up his head, and his wet eyes suddenly lit up from under the thin blanket, and he let out a curious sound: "Huh?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu never expected to see a little girl who looked similar to herself. She couldn't hide her surprise at all. She excitedly tugged at Zhao Gang's pants with her little hands. It was a little girl!

Zhao Gang nodded affirmatively, indicating that she was not mistaken.
