Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 129: Possible Second Attack

"Zhao Xiaoxiu, my surgery was successful. From now on, I will have ten toes like you!"

Youyou's voice sounded a little weak from the other end of the phone, but he was obviously very excited.

Without waiting for Zhao Xiaoxiu to ask, he told her the entire operation and the current situation in a halting manner.

Youyou: "The doctor said that if I rest for another month, I will be fully recovered. Then I will come to play with you."

"Okay." Zhao Xiaoxiu was also happy for his friend and told him, "Then you must listen to the doctor. When your foot recovers and spring comes, I will take you to the river to catch mutant fish."

"Oh, by the way, there is also Sister Monkey. Let Sister Monkey take us to catch fish. Sister Monkey is very good. When we catch fish, let my dad cook for us."

Youyou listened and hummed in agreement. He felt that his feet were not as painful after the anesthetic wore off. He just wanted to get better quickly and go find Zhao Xiaoxiu to catch fish together.

"Huh? You keep talking about Sister Monkey. Who is Sister Monkey?" Youyou listened for a long time and finally found a blind spot. He asked nervously, fearing that he was no longer Zhao Xiaoxiu's best friend.

It was not until he heard Zhao Xiaoxiu say that Monkey Sister was not a human but an evolved macaque that he breathed a sigh of relief.

But then he turned into a million questions and kept asking about Monkey Sister's situation.

Why do we call Sister Monkey Sister Monkey Sister?

What is the difference between evolved macaques and mutant macaques?
What does Monkey Sister eat? Doesn't it bite people? What does it look like.
It was originally just a simple call to report safety, but it lasted half an hour.

The signal was not very good during the call and the call was disconnected once. Youyou called back immediately.

There's no way. Mom is too busy and has no time to accompany him. He is alone in the hospital and it's so boring.

Fortunately, I can call Zhao Xiaoxiu. Youyou thought to himself before hanging up the phone.

"Is it Kosode?"

Suddenly, a female voice inquired from the phone.

Zhao Xiaoxiu heard Youyou shouting excitedly: Mom!
Soon, the phone was taken away by Yang Mei.

She asked with concern: "The Taoyuan base was attacked by a giant mutant python yesterday. The outer walls of the base were all knocked down, and the factory buildings outside were all turned into ruins. Your planting area was not affected, right?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu was stunned. Why was the situation at Taoyuan base different from what the patrol car broadcast said yesterday?
Soon, Zhao Xiaoxiu understood what was going on.

Yang Mei is a senior manager at a biological company, so the news she said must be true.

That is, the patrol station deliberately concealed the damage to Taoyuan Base.

She immediately thought of the Meng family, mother and two of them. When they separated, Uncle Meng seemed to be planning to return to the factory to work as a worker.

If all the factory buildings were turned into ruins, would people be okay?

"Xiao Xiu?"

Yang Mei waited for a while on the other end of the phone but didn't get any response, so she tentatively raised the volume and shouted.

Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly responded, "Auntie, I'm listening. There's nothing wrong in the planting area. My father and I are both fine. How about you?"

Yang Mei breathed a sigh of relief, pointed at her son who was trying to grab the phone, warned him to lie down quietly, and asked with some tentative concern:

"I'm glad you're okay. We haven't found anything here in Jiangcheng. The experts at the base believe that the giant mutant python is likely to launch a second attack on Taoyuan Base."

"Although the planting area is one hundred kilometers away from the Taoyuan base, the planting area is not safe if the mutant python turns around. You and dad should pay more attention. If you find any situation, take good care of yourselves." Zhao Xiaoxiu still didn't like Yang Mei's caring tone. She scratched her neck awkwardly and agreed.

"Auntie, you go ahead with your work. Dad and I will be fine. I'll hang up first." Zhao Xiaoxiu had nothing else to say. She said bye to Auntie and hung up the phone.

But she didn't know that on the other end of the phone, Youyou was hung up because he didn't say goodbye to her, and he snorted at his mother angrily.

Yang Mei glanced at her son and said, "Lie down. The doctor said you can't get out of bed or move around for half a month."

Youyou reluctantly lay down, mumbling, "It's all your fault, Mom, that you snatched my phone, and that's why Xiaoxiu hung up on me."

Yang Mei held her forehead with her hand. In order to spare some time to accompany him for a while, she turned down work and offended many people.

As a result, the boy didn't appreciate it at all and was sulking with her.

But when she turned around, she found that the little guy was secretly looking at her, with an awkward look as if he was afraid that she would leave soon, but did not want to actively stick to his mother.

Yang Mei shook her head helplessly, took off her shoes and sat on the edge of the bed, turned on her laptop, and while doing her work she accompanied her son who had just undergone surgery.

When Youyou saw his mother take off her shoes, get on the hospital bed, and sit next to him, he immediately became happy again.

Regardless of the little awkwardness just now, he took the initiative to move over and share with her the interesting things he had done recently.

Yang Mei responded from time to time, but her eyes stared at the computer screen but stayed in one spot for a long time.

She repeated the conversation she had just had with Zhao Xiaoxiu in her mind, trying to decipher more information from each word.

"Auntie, please go ahead and do your work. Dad and I will be fine. I'm going to hang up now."

My father and I are so sure that we will be fine. Is He preparing to attack the giant mutant python? Just like the S-level mutant mushroom in Jiangcheng last time?
Thinking of this, Yang Mei's heartbeat instantly quickened.

If S-level mutants can be easily dealt with, then is there any need to worry about the SHASI virus?
Yang Mei took a deep breath to suppress her pounding heartbeat, then turned her head to look at her son who was leaning against her and groaning in pain.

If the situation allowed, she would like to go to Area B right now and see with her own eyes how He dealt with the giant mutant python.

Of course, if she has the honor.

"Hmm!" Zhao Xiaoxiu's nose felt itchy. He reached out to rub it, but he sneezed first.

Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly took out a handkerchief from her pocket and wiped her nose clean, muttering, "Thinking, scolding, catching a cold, who is thinking about me?"

She took down the intercom hanging behind the gate and tuned it to the public channel.

From time to time, discussions could be heard from the lords of various districts about the attack on Taoyuan Base yesterday.

The information just obtained from Yang Mei was verified by the discussions of the lords.

Zhao Xiaoxiu gasped. The suspension factory had collapsed. Many workers who were in the factory at the time were unable to escape in time and many were crushed to death.

Many of the shanty shops next to the outer wall were also affected, and the Taoyuan Base is now busy with disaster relief work.

The recruitment notice has been sent out, and the lords in the planting area are discussing forming a team to earn points.

However, upon hearing that the giant mutant python might launch a second attack, the lords who still had some surplus food gave up the idea of ​​going down the mountain.

Although the risks in the mountains and forests near the planting area are also high, they are still much better than the S-level mutants.
