Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 131 Underground Clinic
The father and daughter walked for half an hour before they reached the high wall.

The situation here seems to be worse than that in the planting village.

The base guards are racing against time to clear the collapsed buildings and walls, and dozens of machines are working simultaneously to repair the walls.

The factory area in the distance was in ruins. Rescuers were digging out survivors. One by one, the survivors, covered in dust and shivering with cold, were taken into the city by ambulances.

The entire base was in a tense and busy atmosphere, with people everywhere, vehicles coming in and out, and the constant wailing of the wounded.

The staff were busy counting the casualties, the soldiers were busy cleaning up the mutated White Walkers after their deaths, and the checkpoints in and out of the city were very strict, for fear that some of the White Walkers would slip through the net and enter the city to bring new disasters to the people.

The people who survived the disaster were feeling grateful, but at the same time they were worried that the giant python would attack again. The entire outer city area was in a panic, and there was no smiling face to be seen anymore.

All shops in the outer city that were not affected by the giant python were open. The merchants had numb expressions on their faces, as they had to go on with their lives.

After going through layers of inspections, Zhao Xiaoxiu and his daughter were delayed until almost noon before they could enter the city.

A death list was posted at the door, and everyone who went to see it would sigh, hoping that the base troops would counterattack as soon as possible and kill the giant mutant python in advance, so that everyone would not have to worry anymore.

There was a long queue in the mission hall next to the supply station. They were all members of the hunting team who had signed up to exterminate the giant mutant python for the high reward.

Crossing the crowded main street, Zhao Xiaoxiu and his daughter arrived at the low-rent area located east of the high wall under the inquiring gazes of passers-by.

As soon as he stepped in here, Zhao Gang frowned, and his malicious gaze always fell on his own cub.

He opened his coat and covered the child in his arms, but those eyes did not disappear. Instead, they turned to the backpack and quilt behind him.

The most lacking things in winter are food and warmth. A warm quilt is a necessity for winter.

The shoveled snow was piled high on both sides of the road. Mud and melted snow water mixed together. The road was trampled into a muddy soup by the pedestrians coming and going. Not a single pair of shoes was clean.

Many people tucked various plastic films and foam scraps to keep warm under their thin coats. The soft, white quilt gleaming on Zhao Gang's backpack made their eyes red.

Zhao Xiaoxiu, hiding under her father's coat, could feel the greed that was almost materializing into plundering hooks.

Thinking of Grandma Meng and her family of three living in such a place, her heart skipped a beat and she wanted to see them even more urgently.

The outer city of Taoyuan Base is like the former shantytown of Hope Base. Strength is the rule, and only the strong can have everything.

Two teams of guards walked by, pretending to stop and rebuke the robbery that was happening.

As soon as they left, the snatchers immediately chased after their "prey" like locusts.

A group of people followed Zhao Xiaoxiu and his daughter for about ten minutes, and immediately rushed up to them when they walked into the alley.

The use of guns is strictly prohibited in the urban area, and violators will be shot dead.

But as long as the gunfire goes undetected, the ban does not exist.

The muzzle of a cold and hard gun was pressed against Zhao Gang's temple. Three other people, with their heads wrapped in scarves leaving only their eyes exposed, blocked the father and daughter, playing with daggers, sharp knives, steel pipes and other weapons in their hands. They rushed up and robbed them without saying a word.

I didn't even think about why the father and daughter didn't take the main road and suddenly turned into this alley.

"Dad, don't kill people in the city." Zhao Xiaoxiu warned in a low voice.

Zhao Gang nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

The moment he raised his eyes, several blood threads as thin as threads flew out and instantly wrapped around the hands of the three people holding weapons, tightening them!
The next moment, the painful wails of human beings spread in the quiet alley along with the red mist in the snow.

Passersby passing by the alley were startled and subconsciously turned their heads to look inside the alley. Four people fell to the ground in a mess, rolling and screaming, covering their bloody sleeves.

Beside him, there were severed limbs mixed in the dirty water, as if they had been cut off from the main body before they could react, and the muscles at the fingertips were trembling slightly. The passerby's heart skipped a beat and he gasped.

Looking hastily into the depths, I saw a lone black figure gradually walking away and disappearing at the end.

"Dad, are you sure Granny Meng and the others live here?"

At the entrance to the basement on the first floor of a low-rent building, a girl's uncertain voice was heard.

"Well, this is it."

The man responded and reached out to push away the straw mat in front of him that was used to block the wind. A narrow and crowded corridor appeared with many people lying or standing inside.

It is even colder here than on the ground, and there is no warmth at all.

Even those who were lying or standing in the corridor exuded a cold, deathly aura.

At first glance, Zhao Xiaoxiu felt that this was not a place for a living person to stay.

But since her father was so sure, she could only suppress her bad feeling and follow him step by step.

The corridor was very long, and the smell became worse the further you went in, a smell of blood and decay.

There was also a smell of stewed rotten vegetable leaves wafting continuously from the depths of the corridor.

The wiring here is seriously aging, and the old light bulbs flicker, emitting a dim yellow light.

Zhao Xiaoxiu looked down at the people lying there. They were all seriously injured and were barely breathing, looking like they were about to die.

Those who were still standing looked better than those who were lying down, and some of them were even taking care of those lying beside them while injured.

The graffiti-covered walls are covered with various medical clinic advertisements, claiming that miracle drugs can cure all diseases and even overcome the SHASI virus.

Even Zhao Xiaoxiu, a three-year-old child, knew that this was definitely a scam and absolutely false propaganda.

But for the desperate, this is the last straw.

Human beings' fear of the SHASI virus reaches its peak when they are close to death.

Zhao Xiaoxiu realized that this was a private clinic.

Zhao Gang, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.

"Found it," he said.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was stunned. He looked left and right and up and down. Just as he was about to say that he didn't see anyone from the Meng family, his eyes suddenly fixed on a piece of rag curtain that was used to cover the left side against the wall.

Behind the loosely-covered curtain, an old man with gray hair, rapid breathing, and blue lips was lying on a moisture-proof cushion.

Next to her, sitting against the wall was a drowsy young man with a bearded face, messy hair, bloody gauze on his leg.

"Mom! Brother!" A man ran over excitedly, holding a bowl of something in his hands, shouting as he ran: "I queued up and bought the miracle medicine! I bought the miracle medicine!"

The man ran straight past Zhao Xiaoxiu and his daughter, pushed aside the curtain and rushed in, but suddenly stopped, as if he had discovered something, and hurriedly turned around to look back.

"Brother Gangzi? Xiaoxiu!"

Meng Er looked at the two people, one big and one small, standing in front of him in disbelief. When he saw them nod in response, tears almost rolled down his eyes.
