Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 143 Fence Wall
The second snow arrived.

The heavy snow fell all night and stopped only at dawn.

It was a gloomy day today, but all the survivors received great news.

[Today is January 6, the fourteenth year of the disaster. Heavy snow turns to light snow. The temperature is low. Please keep warm.]

[Today, we announce a good news. The danger of the giant mutant python crisis at Taoyuan Base has now been officially declared cleared, and the base is operating normally. 】

When they received such news as soon as they woke up, the mother and son of the Meng family looked at each other in disbelief.

"Is it true?" Meng Da was the first to question the authenticity of the news.

Meng Er had already run out of the house and rushed to the next door.

After a night of snow, the ground was covered with a thick layer of new snow. Sister Monkey, who was marking her footprints on the new snow, was surprised to find that there were suddenly several more footprints on the originally white and flat snow in front of her. She looked up and let out an angry roar.

Meng Er was caught off guard. He thought there was a mutant attacking him. He was so scared that he almost fell flat on his face.

"Second Uncle Meng?" Zhao Xiaoxiu heard the noise, put away his two swords, tilted his head and looked to the side with concern.

Meng Er quickly waved his hands to show that he was fine, and under the "deadly" gaze of Monkey Sister, he quickly rushed to the door of Zhao Gang's house.

"Brother Gangzi, did you receive the news this morning?" Meng Er rushed into the tool room with a walkie-talkie and asked excitedly.

Zhao Gang was packing up his tools. He was now absorbed in planing wood and ignored Meng Er's arrival. He replied indifferently, "Got it."

When Xiaoxiu woke up in the morning and turned on her satellite phone, she had already received a text message notification from the base.

"Do you believe it?" Meng Er walked up to the workbench and asked closely.

Zhao Gang ruthlessly stretched out his hand and slapped the unshaven face in front of him, "Letter."

Meng Er covered his face and rubbed it twice. His thick skin didn't feel much pain. Soon he smiled and said to himself: "Brother Gangzi, if you believe me, then it must be true. I didn't expect Taoyuan Base to act so quickly. It hasn't been long since they solved such a powerful giant mutant python. It seems that Taoyuan Base is still very powerful."

Zhao Gang asked sincerely: "Can you talk less?"

Meng Er choked, "Huh?"

Zhao Gang made a hushing gesture, and Meng Er reacted, scratched his head, silently suppressed his unfinished words, and turned to look at Zhao Gang's tool room.

He looked at the tools on the wall with envy, and then touched the wood blocks that Zhao Gang had cut and planed. Finally, he couldn't help but ask:

"Brother Gangzi, we have wood, why don't you build a wall?"

"Look at our house, it's bare. From the outside you can see everything. There's no privacy at all."

Meng Er went to the window and saw white snow, not a single bird on the road.

Although not many people would peek, from a normal human perspective, there are still some fences, fencing, walls and so on, making it look more like a complete home.

Moreover, the wall also represents a clear territory. With the boundary, you can plan it and build a small vegetable garden, put out a set of tables, chairs and benches, and place some tools and so on.

Zhao Gang had no intention of paying attention to Meng Er, but when he heard him say that, he suddenly remembered that where humans live, there are always walls or fences.

"Call your brother." Zhao Gang suddenly put down the planer in his hand and said to Meng Er.

Meng Er was stunned for a moment. Zhao Gang urged him again, and he quickly responded and ran out to call Meng Da over.

Zhao Gang gave each of the two men an axe, and he himself took the saw, waved and said, "Follow me." Adhering to the idea of ​​not wasting the two free laborers, he led the two men out of the house and headed towards the poplar forest.

Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was doing morning exercises, looked at the three men who were so vigorous and high-spirited and secretly sighed: "They are really energetic, going to cut wood in the heavy snow."

There is indeed strength in numbers. In half a morning, the three of them carried back a pile of poplar wood.

Zhao Gang then stayed at home to process the wood, and the two Meng brothers continued to travel back and forth between the poplar forest and the house, continuously providing Zhao Gang with raw materials.

The three of them had just discussed in the poplar forest that they would fence off the two houses from front to back, left to right, and then open a door in each house to facilitate entry and exit from the two families.

In this way, they can go their own way at ordinary times and not interfere with each other, but if something happens, they can form a team to deal with it together in the first time.

But in this case, the area to be enclosed will be larger.

According to Zhao Xiaoxiu's observation, if the three wanted to build a strong and solid wall, they would have to cut down half of the poplar forest.

If you just want to build a simple fence wall two or three meters high, the workload is not small.

Anyway, the three of them have something to do this winter and won’t be bored at all.

However, Zhao Xiaoxiu herself was also looking forward to the day when the wall would be completed. After completing her morning exercises, she decisively led Sister Monkey to join the logging team. She felt that her beautiful back garden would soon be completed.

The snow only stopped for half a day and started falling again in the afternoon.

The snow was so heavy that they could no longer go into the mountains. A patrol car came and took away the mutant animals that the Jiang and Qiu families had captured. The two families exchanged some nutrient solution, and the food crisis was temporarily resolved.

The landlord wanted to cut down trees to build a wall, and Liu Chuan and Wang Xiang took the initiative to come over to help.

Zhao Gang also turned a blind eye and allowed them to take some thinner branches back.

With the addition of these two people, plus the support of the Meng brothers and Sister Monkey, as well as Zhao Xiaoxiu and Liu Miaomiao who cheered and encouraged each other while playing in the snow.

A week later, a three-meter-high wooden fence wall successfully appeared in Territory No. 13.

The fence is made entirely of cut poplar wood. The main supporting pillars are complete half poplar wood, and the rest are made of ten-centimeter-thick poplar boards.

There are some gaps in the middle of the fence, which were left intentionally according to Zhao Xiaoxiu's request. She plans to find some less aggressive climbing plants and plant them under the wall when spring comes.

Of course, Zhao Xiaoxiu did not tell the Meng brothers about this idea directly, otherwise Meng Er would have to weld all the gaps shut even at the risk of being beaten up by Sister Monkey!
Mutated plants at home?
That's simply fatal!

Even if the plants you plant are non-aggressive, as soon as they appear, they will attract mutated animals that feed on them, and then everyone will be doomed.

Zhao Xiaoxiu had anticipated this, so she didn't say anything.

Because the bold ideas in her mind were just speculations, and she had no real experience of coexisting with mutated plants, she couldn't guarantee it 100%.

But Zhao Xiaoxiu still believed in her intuition.

Just like Peter Pan, isn’t he also very obedient?
At dusk, while the adults were not paying attention, Zhao Xiaoxiu quietly poured water mixed with three drops of her own blood onto the roots of the mutant pine and the green pearl flower.

She wanted to verify whether the method used on Peter Pan could be effective on plants.

The old father who was observing secretly saw all the cubs' actions and was very pleased.

The cub finally discovered his powerful control ability!

However, blood control is the most basic method, and the ability needs to be strengthened. The old father feels that there is still a long way to go.
