Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 149 Denial is Admission
Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Zhao Xiaoxiu picked up the satellite phone.

It’s been almost a month now. Youyou should have recovered by now, right?
It's a good opportunity to call her and show some concern, so that she won't be accused of not contacting him on her own initiative.

It was about 7:30 in the evening. The person on the other end must be busy. Zhao Xiaoxiu waited five or six seconds before the call was answered.

Yang Mei did not allow her son to play with a mobile phone and only gave him a learning tablet. Before, it was Youyou who took the initiative to contact Zhao Xiaoxiu.

This was the first time that Zhao Xiaoxiu took the initiative to call him, and she dialed Yang Mei's phone number that she had saved previously.

But the voice that came back was that of a female guard.

Before the female guard could even open her mouth, the phone was snatched away by Youyou.

"Give it to me, give it to me. Is it mom calling?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu heard this voice coming from the receiver, and she couldn't help laughing, "Hey! Yang Hengjie, are you discharged from the hospital?"

Youyou, who thought it was her mother, heard another familiar child's voice and was surprised and delighted: "Kosode?!"

Zhao Xiaoxiu: "It's me. Are you okay?"

Youyou: "Wow, you said you would call me often, but you're just calling now. I'm getting mad and don't want to talk to you anymore!"

"Oh, I'm hanging up then."

"No no! I won't care about you."

Zhao Xiaoxiu snorted complacently and asked directly about building a research base in the planting area, which surprised Youyou.

"How do you know? Who told you? My mother has already arrived at the planting area. Um!" The rest of the words were blocked by someone and could not be said.

The female guard hung up the phone.

Zhao Xiaoxiu sighed and told the adults in front of him the news with helplessness in his eyes.

Granny Meng sighed: "It turns out that Director Yang has already arrived at the planting area. It seems that building a research base is a foregone conclusion."

"It would be even better if the biological company's redemption hall could be brought here as well. Maybe we can even buy evolution potions at a discount." Meng Er said expectantly.

Meng Da was more meticulous and thought more comprehensively. He felt that Yang Mei's coming in person meant that she was sure that what they were looking for must be in the three planting areas of ABC.

I don’t know whether that thing is harmful to humans. It would be terrible if it affects the lords’ farming.

I hope the biological company can find that thing as soon as possible.

Perhaps they could see that Zhao Xiaoxiu and his daughter didn't seem to have much interest in this topic, so the mother and son of the Meng family sat for a while and then went home.

Sister Monkey also returned to the greenhouse, busy adding some fertilizer to the evolved tomatoes so that more fruits would ripen tomorrow so that it could successfully eat tomato and egg soup in the evening.

The door was closed, and only Zhao Xiaoxiu and his daughter were left in the room.

Zhao Xiaoxiu said: "Dad, she came to see you."

Zhao Gang said in a normal tone, "I ate the giant mutant python before and they found my whereabouts. It's normal for them to come here."

"But Aunt Yang came a long time ago but didn't make any announcement. Did she discover something and didn't want to alert the enemy?" Zhao Xiaoxiu didn't like the feeling of being stared at.

She took her father's big hand and held it with her little hand. She was afraid that her father would have a conflict with the biological company and didn't want him to get hurt.

Although he seemed so powerful, her knowledge and understanding of him was probably less than one ten-thousandth of it.

Whether it's a human or a monster, there will always be weaknesses.

Zhao Gang held his daughter's hand, and her palms were sweating from nervousness.

He put his daughter's palm on his trouser leg and wiped it roughly, and said firmly: "She can't threaten me." It's so difficult. Before going to bed, the little girl thought worriedly in her heart.

Zhao Gang, sensing the cub's emotions, suddenly said, "Then I'll eat her."

Zhao Xiaoxiu's sleepiness was instantly scared away, and she said quickly: "I don't feel uncomfortable at all, I'm fine, really!"

Zhao Gang: "Oh, okay."

The tone sounded quite regretful.

What else can Zhao Xiaoxiu do? Sleep!

Maybe the female guard told Yang Mei about Youyou leaking the information. The next day, Zhao Xiaoxiu had a rare chance to sleep in and slid down the snow slide. The first thing he saw was not Sister Monkey, not Dad, and not Dad's tentacles.

Instead, it was Yang Mei, who was wearing a military green coat and smiling.

"Good morning." Yang Mei took the initiative to wave and greet.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was caught off guard and slid forward two meters, almost sitting on his butt in the melted mud.

Zhao Xiaoxiu had already been threatened by the tentacles yesterday for being dirty and disgusted. If it happened again so early in the morning, it would be hard for her to guarantee that she would not be beaten.

Fortunately, two speed-evolved guards caught her in time and carried her steadily to Yang Mei.

Zhao Xiaoxiu raised her hand: "Hi, Aunt Yang."

"Are you surprised why I am here?" Yang Mei squatted down, her eyes level with Zhao Xiaoxiu's, and spoke in a soft and gentle voice, which was completely different from her usual seriousness.

If Youyou were here, he would definitely cry loudly out of grievance when seeing his mother being so gentle to other children.

Zhao Xiaoxiu nodded honestly and asked curiously, "Auntie, why did you come here suddenly? Aren't you with Youyou?"

Yang Mei smiled: "Didn't Youyou tell you last night that I had come to the planting area? Have you forgotten it?"

Without waiting for Zhao Xiaoxiu to reveal an awkward smile, Yang Mei continued, "I have been here for a while. I have been staying at the patrol station in Area A and preparing to build a new research base."

"After this period of investigation, we decided to build the research base on the flat land at the southern entrance of Area B. If you have any problems in the future, you can come to see Auntie at any time."

Zhao Xiaoxiu was not a fool. She quickly realized that Yang Mei was reporting the situation to her.

Perhaps the word "report" is a bit inappropriate, but this is how Zhao Xiaoxiu felt.

Yang Mei almost said directly: I know something is wrong with you. I plan to build a research base nearby to observe and study you. Don't resist, and I won't hurt you. Let's try to remain friendly, okay?
Zhao Xiaoxiu turned her head and took a deep breath. She wondered if she had over-interpreted it.

But when he looked back, Yang Mei looked at him with joy, restraint, respect, and even a hint of piety.

"Aunt Yang, did you misunderstand something?" Zhao Xiaoxiu reminded weakly.

Yang Mei: "How could that be?"

I was so excited: He began to deny! To deny is to admit!
She had already found out from Mo Shigui that the father and daughter were not in the planting area during the period before and after the giant mutant python disappeared.

There are not so many coincidences in the world. If there are, that is the truth.

Seeing that Yang Mei's eyes were looking more and more strange, Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly ran into the house: "Dad!"

Zhao Gang came out with a kettle of hot water and a cup, and was bumped into by his own cub.

Yang Mei was shocked when she saw it.

Fortunately, Zhao Gang held the tray steadily, and the hot water did not spill onto Zhao Xiaoxiu.
