Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 147 Hide and Seek

Everyone shook their heads, saying they had never heard of it.

Bai Cailing asked, "Where did you hear this news? How come I didn't know that the biological company was going to build a research base here?"

"Besides, what is there for us to study? How to grow vegetables?"

She curled her lips and said, "I hope the evolved rice seeds can be popularized to us soon. I am going crazy for rice now!"

"Don't interrupt!" Wen Fei rolled her eyes at her, motioning everyone to focus their attention on her, and lowered her voice mysteriously:
"Do you still remember the city-wide inspection by the biological company before the 'Advent'?"

Everyone nodded. This incident happened along with the sale of fake evolution potions on the underground black market, and it caused quite a stir at the time. Of course, it left a deep impression on everyone.

Wen Fei continued, "A friend of mine quietly told me that the sale of fake evolutionary potions on the black market is just a cover-up. In fact, the biological company has lost an important item, which seems to be a biochemical experiment or something like that."

Bai Cailing became impatient and asked, "What does this have to do with the biological company coming to the planting area to build a research laboratory?"

"Can you please listen to what I have to say before you interrupt?" Wen Fei glared at her unhappily, and motioned to Dongfang Ling to keep her friend's mouth shut.

Dongfang Ling crossed her arms and shrugged, looking as if she was not familiar with Bai Cailing.

Wen Fei snorted secretly, thinking to herself, everyone knows that you two lived together, why are you pretending to be strangers?

However, she just complained in her heart and didn't dare say it out loud, otherwise Dongfang Ling would definitely beat her up.

The girl was young and hot-tempered, and she didn't hold back when she attacked. She couldn't afford to provoke him, but she could afford to hide away.

Wen Fei pointed at Bai Cailing and warned her not to interrupt, then continued: "The biological company wants to build a research base here. This is just a cover, just like the sudden inspection that happened at that time. In fact..."

Wen Fei deliberately kept the secret until Bai Cailing couldn't help asking, then she lowered her voice and whispered:

"I heard from someone that the things the biological company was looking for were in our planting area. They said they were going to build a research institute here, but they were actually looking for something."

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Dongfang Ling asked curiously, "What on earth is that thing? Is it so important?"

Wen Fei shook his head to indicate that he didn't know either, and said casually: "It might be a live experiment, who knows."

"Living experiment?" Speaking of this, Bai Cailing was no longer sleepy. Regardless of Wen Fei's rejection of her, she squeezed Zhang Lijun aside and sat next to Wen Fei. She took her arm and asked excitedly:

"What kind of living experiment? A super-powerful cyborg? The kind that can defeat S-class mutants?"

"You're out of your mind!"

Wen Fei angrily pushed her away, pulled his arm away, and dodged to the side. "You must have watched too many movies and TV shows and your brain is damaged. Biological companies can't finish their research on mutants. If they want to make living organisms, they must use mutants."

"Even if they're using humans for experiments, they're just researching how to decipher the SHASI virus. What's the point of creating a super-powerful cyborg? Aren't there enough evolutionary potions?"

After saying that, he didn't forget to glare at Bai Cailing with disdain. He felt really sad for himself that he actually knew such a naive and stupid woman!

If it were in the past, if Bai Cailing was scolded like this by Wen Fei, she would definitely not be outdone and would have fought back.

But she actually stood up and clapped her hands, "Yes! Could it be that the antidote to the virus has been developed?"

As soon as she said this, everyone present became uncontrollably excited for a moment.

But it was only for a moment, and the mood cooled down. After all, in the past fourteen years, there have been too many expectations and too many disappointments, and everyone has become a little numb.

"Forget it, forget it, no more chatting, I'm going home, bye everyone." Wen Fei motioned Zhang Lijun and Lord No. 14 to go together, the three of them stood up and unplugged the charging devices, all of them left with a bit of lack of interest. Passing by the mutant dwarf pine, Zhang Lijun suddenly bent down and took a look inside, and instructed: "Today, we will use the nutrient solution to settle the bill, and put six nutrient solutions on the stool."

I had stockpiled too much nutrient solution before, and recently I heard that Taoyuan Base was preparing to sell flavored nutrient solution to the public. It was a good time to check the inventory and buy some new nutrient solution to try.

Zhao Xiaoxiu, the cat in the dwarf pine: "Got it. Goodbye, uncles and aunts."

Wen Fei lowered her head and wanted to take a look at the little guy's posture, but unexpectedly the mutant pine tree suddenly shook its branches and pressed down, blocking her view completely.

"Huh!" Wen Fei took a step back in surprise, "How come this mutant pine tree suddenly moved?"

Zhang Lijun and Lord No. 14 looked at each other in surprise. This mutant pine tree was obviously controlled by someone.

The two of them thought of Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was playing hide-and-seek with Liu Miaomiao inside. The father and daughter of the Zhao family were really weird.

The three of them wanted to study for a while how Zhao Xiaoxiu controlled the mutant pine tree, when they saw Liu Miaomiao running over breathlessly and circling the pine tree. Zhao Xiaoxiu's red rain boots were clearly exposed, but she couldn't see them.

She even looked up and asked the three adults, "Uncle Zhang and Aunt Wen, have you seen Xiaoxiu?"

The three of them pointed towards the mutant pine tree in unison. Liu Miaomiao looked at them with distrust. She had just looked for it, but there was no Xiaoxiu sister at all!

Respecting the fate of others is a compulsory course for survivors of the apocalypse. Zhang Lijun and the other two did not say anything more. They suppressed their shock and left the courtyard.

"Xiao Xiu!" Liu Miaomiao put her hands to her mouth and shouted around like a headless fly: "I found you, please come out quickly!"

The mutated Emerald Flower under his feet shook its petals slightly, and star-like golden powder fell. The whole bunch of flowers drooped down as if the magic had failed.

When Liu Miaomiao turned around, she saw a pair of red plastic rain boots exposed in the gap between the mutant pine branches.

"Hahaha, I found you!" Liu Miaomiao reached out and grabbed Zhao Xiaoxiu's clothes, pulling her out from under the mutant dwarf pine, and was very happy.

Zhao Xiaoxiu chuckled. She was happy as long as her friends were happy, and she didn't care at all that she was "easily" found.

Dongfang Ling, who was watching this scene, raised her eyebrows. She actually saw doting on the face of a little girl who was less than four years old?

Liu Miaomiao: "Now you come to find me when I'm hiding."

Zhao Xiaoxiu responded crisply: "Okay!"

"I'll close my eyes. Sister Miaomiao, you have to hide well."

"One, two, three" Zhao Xiaoxiu began to count down. She did not deliberately speed up the counting interval like Liu Miaomiao did at the beginning. She was very patient and counted to twenty numbers one by one.

"I'm hidden!" said Liu Miaomiao.

Bai Cailing glanced speechlessly under the table behind her. It was a square wooden box made by Zhao Gang himself for storage. They temporarily used it as a table. Two children could hide inside.

Zhao Xiaoxiu: "I'm here to find you, Sister Miaomiao, please don't make any noise."

Dongfang Ling looked at Zhao Xiaoxiu, who came to the square box table in a pretentious manner, turned around twice, and then walked away regretfully.

She bet that this girl definitely knew where her little friend was hiding.

Maybe he didn't want the game to end so soon. Dongfang Ling silently made up for Zhao Xiaoxiu in his heart.
