Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 130 As Big as a Mountain
Zhao Xiaoxiu turned off the intercom, took out her cell phone and checked the weather forecast for tomorrow.

It will be sunny with temperatures ranging from -1 to -3 degrees.

She put away her phone and rushed to the tool room to find Zhao Gang. "Dad, let's go to the city to see Granny Meng and the others tomorrow!"

Zhao Gang, who was busy, turned around and looked over, and met a pair of eyes that were full of worry and a little bit of request.

He sighed in his heart and repeated, "Don't worry, Xiaoxiu. They are all alive."

"I know." Zhao Xiaoxiu glared at her father angrily and said, "The person is definitely alive, but the situation is definitely not good!"

Don't try to fool her!
Zhao Xiaoxiu took out a bead necklace, which she brought back from Yungu Temple with the two Meng brothers.

"When we were in trouble in the past, Grandma Meng and Uncle Meng would help us. Now that they are in trouble, we should also help them." Zhao Xiaoxiu said seriously, holding the necklace.

She secretly asked Sister Miaomiao, and learned that the housing conditions provided by Taoyuan Base to the survivors of Hope Base were very poor.

A six-month interest-free rental loan sounds like a good deal, but with installment payments, the price of low-rent housing is not low either.

The new immigrants are often bullied by the indigenous people. In addition, there are all kinds of gangs of all sizes mixed together in the low-rent area, so the survivors of the Hope Base who have just arrived have to live cautiously.

If someone offends someone, countless people will die quietly in the sewers at night.

The guards wanted to seek help from the base, but they were unable to take care of everything themselves.

It was originally agreed that the survivors of the two bases would be governed separately, but when the orders from the top were passed down to the lower levels, no one carried them out.

Less than half a month after the self-government, the low-rent areas were mixed together.

Only the nobles in the inner city areas still maintained autonomy for each district.

After Jiangcheng was recovered, the top management of the Hope Base suggested that everyone move there, but after three months of operation, most of the survivors were reluctant to give up and chose to stay.

After all, every migration has to start from scratch. Basically, those who have elderly and children at home choose to continue staying in the Taoyuan base.

In addition, there are factories outside the city, and the workers have stable wages, so they will not move easily.

Even if they want to move, they have to wait until Jiangcheng is completely stable before considering it.

Zhao Xiaoxiu’s idea was very simple. If Grandma Meng and the others were doing well, they would have called her a long time ago.

But they haven't called each other once since they broke up, which means that the Meng family is not in good condition.

It was nothing before, but now that he knew that the Taoyuan base was attacked, Zhao Xiaoxiu felt that he would not be able to sleep well unless he saw with his own eyes that they were fine.

"Dad~" Zhao Xiaoxiu took the initiative to run to Zhao Gang's side, took one of his hands and swung it, "We're just going to take a look, and then we'll be back, okay?"

What can Zhao Gang do?
When had he ever refused a request from one of his own cubs?

"Okay." Zhao Gang nodded. Small request, satisfied!

Zhao Xiaoxiu jumped up happily, hugged her father with her hands and feet, hung on him like a monkey, rubbed her head against his arms, and announced loudly: "Dad! You are the best dad in the world!"

Zhao Gang laughed. Which father wouldn’t enjoy his daughter’s praise?

Therefore, the father, who was flattered by his daughter's praise, let her search the kitchen at home and packed up the thirty bottles of relief nutrient solution she had not finished drinking, the remaining half bowl of mutant frog meat, a thick quilt, and three pairs of combat leather boots.

Oh, he also took a bottle of yogurt and said that Grandma Meng had bad teeth and this was suitable for her.

Sister Monkey watched silently, feeling distressed. She felt distressed that the yogurt she had secretly hidden was found by the cub and ruthlessly confiscated.

After packing everything, Zhao Xiaoxiu was worried before going to bed, so she got up and checked again to see if there was anything she had missed. Thinking that the Meng family only had one gun, she packed up her silenced rifle, zipped up her backpack, and then climbed onto the bed, getting into the quilt that had been warmed by the tentacles and fell asleep.

Zhao Gang had no intention of stopping his cub's 'moving' behavior.

Thinking of the story of humans helping others in times of need, he silently added ten pounds of charcoal.

Because this time when I go down the mountain, I can buy more charcoal from the charcoal farmers. If the person is still alive.

But it doesn’t matter whether the charcoal seller is alive or dead. What matters is that the charcoal is still there.

Zhao Gang himself also found it strange. Thinking that he would meet the two Meng brothers tomorrow whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he was actually a little looking forward to it.

He carefully recalled the time he spent with the two brothers. It felt pretty good to have two "obedient and tight-lipped" younger brothers following him.

The father and daughter slept soundly all night, expecting to go into the city to see old friends.

When the alarm clock rang at six o'clock, Zhao Xiaoxiu immediately got up, dressed, and went downstairs to complete her daily basic training.

At 6:30, she finished the exercise and immediately contacted her master via the intercom to tell him that she was going out with her father today, so that she wouldn't make a wasted trip.

Yesterday, Sheng Qingyang went into the mountains and didn't return until midnight, with some small gains.

After hearing the message from his apprentice, he just happened to take a nap to replenish his lost energy, so he just replied, "Got it."

Once you throw away the walkie-talkie, you can go back to sleep without any worries.

After everything was arranged, Zhao Xiaoxiu simply drank a bottle of heated nutrient solution. Zhao Gang told Sister Monkey to look after the house, and then the father and daughter set off with a large backpack of supplies and a rolled-up quilt.

The patrol stations in the three major planting areas take turns to clear the roads, so there is no problem with traffic on the road.

Zhao Gang covered the leaky truck on all sides with rainproof cloth, filled it with gas, and drove to Taoyuan Base with his daughter.

The truck was skidding all the way. Zhao Gang drove aggressively and Zhao Xiaoxiu was riding in the car in a thrilling way.

The little hands tightly grasped the door handle and the seat under the buttocks, so as not to fly out of the front window that could not be covered with rainproof cloth.

Before ten o'clock in the morning, the truck took the father and daughter to the outskirts of Taoyuan Base.

If they had not seen it with their own eyes, both the father and the daughter would not have believed that the place covered with broken bricks and scorched earth was once a thriving farming village with thousands of miles of fertile land and interconnected roads.

A wide and deep gully was left on the scorched earth, as if a giant holding a long whip had whipped the earth hard, leaving behind a mark.

Zhao Gang stopped the truck. In front of the car was a section of the long and deep ravine, nearly 100 meters wide and nearly 20 meters deep, which cut off the road from the village to the urban area.

The father and daughter had to park the car on the side of the road, get out and go around into the city.

Zhao Gang put the backpack on his back, stacked the rolled up bedding on top of the backpack and tied it up with a rope.

Zhao Xiaoxiu wanted to walk by herself, but when Zhao Gang saw the bumpy and damaged ground, he decisively held her in his arms and strode forward.

Zhao Xiaoxiu looked back at the deep ditch across the scorched earth and was secretly shocked.

"Dad, how big is this giant mutant python?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked in shock.

Zhao Gang objectively said: "When it is coiled up, it should be as big as a mountain."

Zhao Xiaoxiu was shocked.

This is a big python. Even if all the survivors in the base were added together, they probably wouldn't be enough to fill its teeth, right?!
