Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 138 Shock
"Brother Gangzi!"

As the father and daughter walked out of the hotel, they ran into Meng Er who was running over breathlessly.

Granny Meng and Meng Da walked a little slower behind them and waved to signal them not to stop and to quickly retreat to the city center.

The high wall was just behind the low-rent area. Looking up, all the searchlights on the high tower were turned on, illuminating the scorched earth outside the high wall and tracking the figure of the giant mutant python.

The rustling sound of the drill coming through the high wall. Just by listening to the noise, Zhao Xiaoxiu's mind automatically imagined a scene of a giant python swimming quickly on the scorched earth and attacking the city.

"Boom!" With a sound, the guards launched an attack on the huge mutant python that was flying towards them.

Separated by a wall, the explosion sounded as if it was right next to their ears at such a close distance. The residents who were evacuating on the street were shocked, paused for a moment, and continued to evacuate to the outer city center.

Zhao Xiaoxiu and his daughter followed behind the mother and son of the Meng family, jogging forward through the crowd.

There were a lot of people and cars, but with guards standing up to maintain order, the evacuation was relatively smooth.

Zhao Xiaoxiu heard someone say, "Today our group followed the authorities to set up many traps three kilometers outside the city. This time we have made preparations in advance. This giant mutant python will definitely not rush into the high wall!"

This statement attracted another voice, who echoed, "Don't panic. Can't our human brains defeat those mutants? Even an S-class giant mutant python can't eat a few nuclear bombs."

The voice behind was suddenly interrupted.

A roar that seemed to come from the ancient wilderness came from behind the people. It seemed to come from underground, causing the earth to tremble. It also seemed to come from the void of deep space, with 360-degree surround sound effects.

Everyone in the city heard this hair-raising roar at the same time, as if God had suddenly pressed the pause button. Everyone stopped in their tracks and turned their heads to look at the high wall like a slow-motion movie.

A huge snake head rose from the high wall, and countless searchlights shone over it, allowing people to see its original appearance.

The dark red scales as big as floor tiles reflected a cold light under the lamplight. The emerald green triangular eyes were ten times larger than those of searchlights. Due to the direct exposure to the light, the eyeballs were covered with a layer of translucent white eye film.

It angrily opened its mouth, revealing fangs as sharp as swords, and swept its forked tongue towards the tower. From a human perspective, it looked like a giant crane chain was swinging towards it.

Compared with its huge snake head, the fully armed soldiers on the wall looked as small as ants.

The huge snake head was reflected in Zhao Xiaoxiu's inky pupils. Her mouth was slightly open, shocked by its size.

It turns out that the name giant mutant python is a realistic description.

Just by looking at a snake's head, one can imagine how huge and terrifying its body is as it coils under the high wall.

Zhao Xiaoxiu thought again of the deep ditch that he and his father encountered when they came here yesterday. If that deep ditch was the trace left by the giant mutant python, then its body width and diameter must be at least more than 50 meters.

What does fifty meters mean?
In its eyes, the high wall is probably like a chicken pen, and the humans inside the pen are like the chicks being raised inside.

It is hard to imagine how happy and carefree the giant mutant python would be to roam freely in its "chicken farm" if there was no high wall.

"What are you all standing there for! Hurry up, the people on the wall are ready to open fire!" the guard who was maintaining order shouted angrily.

The people who were shocked by the huge snake head exposed on the wall finally reacted and rushed towards the safe area at a faster speed.

Zhao Xiaoxiu and others were carried by the crowd and successfully arrived at a safe area.

As soon as they entered, they heard the sound of intensive artillery fire from the high walls, and the flames shooting into the sky illuminated the entire city as bright as day.

The continuous sound of gunfire was deafening, and the helpless and unwilling roar of the giant mutant python echoed outside the wall. The mother and son of the Meng family covered their ears tightly, otherwise their brains would be hurt by the huge noise.

Zhao Xiaoxiu also quickly covered her ears, but her powerful hearing still allowed her to clearly transmit the sounds from outside the wall.

She frowned in pain, feeling for the first time that having good hearing was not good enough.

He looked up at his father Zhao Gang above his head. He didn't cover his ears and didn't have any facial expression. He just stared quietly at the huge mutant python on the high wall that was blocked by intensive artillery fire and traps and was extremely angry.

This time, facing the well-prepared human guards, the giant python got nothing good.

It tried several times to break through the dense artillery fire and attack the wall, but failed.

In the end, he could only retreat to the top of a distant mountain with scars of burns all over his body, and stared at this human city with unwillingness in his cold green eyes.

The huge body of the giant mutant python lay on the top of the mountain. The dark red scales on its body seemed to add a dark red edging line to the mountain. The thousands-meter-long snake body was fully exposed to humans.

In the outer city's central security zone, the guards announced that the crisis was temporarily resolved.

But when people looked at the long dark red line on the distant mountains, they couldn't help feeling a chill in their hearts.

There is an old saying: You're not afraid of thieves stealing, you're afraid of thieves thinking

This is how the residents of the city feel at the moment, as if they are being treated as food reserves by the giant mutant python.

The guards drove the crowd away and told them to go back to their homes.

"Brother Gangzi, let's go to my house." Meng Da said.

Zhao Gang nodded. Even if he went back to the hotel, he couldn't sleep now because the cub in his arms was so excited.

A few people got up and left the safe zone, and followed the main force back to the low-rent area.

Unexpectedly, the houses in the low-rent area were actually cracked by the earthquake, and the house where the unlucky Meng family mother and son lived was among them.

We hope that some of the guards who remained in the city from the base will rush over and organize everyone to build a temporary camp first and wait for the houses to be repaired before moving in.

Fortunately, the Meng brothers took all their important belongings with them when they came out, including their tent.

By the time the tent was set up, it was already past four in the morning, the darkest time before dawn.

After all, Grandma Meng was an elderly person, so she just lay down on the moisture-proof mat and fell asleep.

The two brothers Meng Da and Meng Er were sitting by the fire in front of the tent, yawning from sleepiness.

Zhao Gang and Zhao Xiaoxiu sat opposite the two brothers. The father and daughter looked at each other secretly. Zhao Xiaoxiu read her father's thoughts and widened her eyes in disbelief.

She stretched out her little hand and pointed cryptically at the "red line" outside the city, and made a "yeah" gesture. There were only two hours left until dawn. Was that enough?
Zhao Gang nodded slightly and licked the corner of his lips unconsciously. Two hours was enough for him to have this breakfast.

Zhao Xiaoxiu: Let’s go.
