Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 150 Kosode Observation Diary
"Be careful." Zhao Gang reminded gently, and led the children to the wooden box table outside and poured a cup of hot water for the guests.

"Thank you." Yang Mei politely took the hot water, took a sip and put it down, looking at Zhao Xiaoxiu with concern, "Are you okay?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu shook her head, hugged one of her father's legs, hid behind him, and followed him around.

Yang Mei motioned for Zhao Gang to sit down as well while she looked around the yard first.

Compared with the last time I went to Area B, the changes this time are undoubtedly huge. New fences and walls have been added, a canopy has been built, and photovoltaic power generation equipment has been installed.

The open space in front of the house was also renovated, and a small pavilion of four square meters was built at the door with a canopy, and tables, chairs, benches and a power strip were placed in the pavilion.

It is not difficult to see from the traces of activities left in the pavilion that people often gather here.

"The territory is becoming more and more lively." Yang Mei sighed.

No one spoke.

The father and daughter looked silent.

Yang Mei didn't mind. She stood up and walked out of the pavilion to the mutant dwarf pine. She squatted down and looked at the red emerald flowers blooming on the ground in winter.

“This bunch of Emerald Flowers seems to be a little different from other mutated Emerald Flowers.” Yang Mei whispered to herself.

She stood up again, walked to the pavilion, and asked politely, "Can I buy one to observe? You know, I have a bit of an occupational disease, and I am always full of interest in exploring these special mutant plants."

"If you don't need points, I can exchange them for other supplies. Anything will do."

In fact, Yang Mei also wanted to say: If you don’t mind, I would like to take back some samples of every plant and tree here, including the soil on the ground that was trampled by Zhao Xiaoxiu.

But considering that this might be a bit offensive, I held back and said nothing.

"The flowers were planted by Xiaoxiu." Zhao Gang signaled his daughter to make her own decision.

Zhao Xiaoxiu decided to sell it to Yang Mei without thinking. Just let her research it. She was also curious about what Yang Mei could research.

"Auntie, can you tell me the results of your research?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked.

Yang Mei nodded happily: "Of course."

Fearing that Zhao Xiaoxiu might regret it, Yang Mei immediately asked someone to dig up a plant of the Jade Pearl Flower and asked Zhao Xiaoxiu, "What do you want?"

"I want an electric saw and an electric welder." Zhao Xiaoxiu thought about it and realized that these were the only things the family needed for the time being, and it would be convenient for his father to do handicrafts.

Originally, she and her father had planned to go to the deserted city to look for it themselves after the spring, but now that someone was sending it to them, it would be even better.

"Sure." Yang Mei said, "I'll have them send you a set of power tools in a while."

A set of power tools, including not only electric saws and electric welders, but also electric punches and electric nailers.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was flattered by Yang Mei's generosity, but it was only for a moment, because she knew that Yang Mei's generosity was not simple.

But what does it matter? The actual benefits are real.

"Thank you, Auntie." Zhao Xiaoxiu smiled at her.

Yang Mei was truly flattered when she saw this smile, and her heart was filled with passion.

She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down, looked at Zhao Gang, who had a stern face, and said:

"Building a research base requires manpower. The base doesn't have enough people assigned to me, and I don't have much contact with the lords here. If you don't mind the hassle, you can bring someone you know over there. You can use medical supplies to settle their wages."

Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoxiu was secretly surprised, and became even more certain in her heart that Yang Mei must have some deep misunderstanding of her - perhaps she suspected that she was what she was looking for!

Otherwise, she wouldn't have done something that was obviously intended to show goodwill to her father.

Even before the disaster, being a foreman was a good job, let alone during the disaster when supplies were scarce.

Besides, Yang Mei generously used medical supplies to settle the salary, which was even more attractive than being an official mercenary. Zhao Xiaoxiu felt that she had been exposed, and she was inexplicably relieved, hoping that this misunderstanding could last a little longer.

The little girl couldn't help but poke her father's arm and said, "Hurry up and agree to her!"
Zhao Gang pinched the cub's anxious face, then nodded slowly: "Okay, I'll bring people over when the time comes. Are ten enough?"

Yang Mei smiled generously: "Whatever you want."

Anyway, there are only so many people in Area B, so there is no need to worry about exceeding the budget.

Zhao Gang whispered in the cub's ear: "She is really rich. If we rob her, we should be able to get a lot of supplies."

Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly covered her father's mouth. This kind of thing cannot be said!
Yang Mei obviously didn't hear these whispers. Seeing the guard pack up the green pearl flowers, she stood up and said, "I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

"Xiaoxiu, Auntie will come to see you next time when she is free." Yang Mei waved her hand.

Zhao Xiaoxiu asked with concern: "Auntie, will Youyou come with us then?"

Yang Mei raised her eyebrows. He was indeed affected by his body and wanted a playmate just like a child.

You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child. Yang Mei nodded and said, "Yes, I'll have someone pick him up when the base is built. Then you can play together."

"That's great!" Zhao Xiaoxiu was really happy this time.

Yang Mei was even happier. Not only did she communicate with Him smoothly today, she also took away a mutant Emerald Pearl Flower that was clearly different from the others.

Yang Mei came in an armored vehicle. As soon as she got in the car, she urged her assistant to bring her computer. With trembling hands, she opened the computer and created a new folder named "Xiaoxiu Observation Diary".

She wrote on it:

[January 23, 14th year of the disaster, cloudy day]

[The way we met today was unexpected. He slid down the snow slide to me. His personality and preferences seemed similar to those of human children. Perhaps he was influenced by his somatization.]

[I accidentally found a unique mutant Emerald Flower in his home. The pollen on the stamens is finer than that of other flowers. Although it is only a slight difference, the mutant plants living around him should be able to provide me with some verification.]

【Finally, He smiled at me. This should be a gesture of goodwill. I hope that we can have a pleasant time together. Youyou, don’t blame your mother for putting you in danger.】

【But he also likes to play with Him, so it’s a two-way trip for us. 】

After finishing the first diary entry, Yang Mei’s excited heart and trembling hands finally calmed down.

The moment I closed the computer, the armored vehicle suddenly shook violently.

Yang Mei frowned immediately, "What's going on?"

The new driver reported nervously: "A Class B mutant rat attacked our armored vehicle."

"Stop the car." Yang Mei ordered.

There was a hint of surprise in the driver's eyes, but he immediately followed his superior's order and stopped the car.

I'm an experienced driver and I brake very smoothly.

The assistant opened the car door, Yang Mei pulled out the laser gun from his waist, jumped out of the car, raised his hand and shot at the B-level mutant rat that attacked again.

A palm-sized orange mutant rat flew over like lightning. Before it could spit out the highly corrosive venom in its mouth, a tiny spot of light shot over and burned through its head.

It didn't even have time to scream "Squeak!" Its body stiffened instantly and it fell from the air onto the muddy snow.

Yang Mei signaled to his assistant to pack it up, put the gun away and get into the car. The whole process took less than ten seconds.

The driver's heart tightened when he saw the woman's stern expression in the rearview mirror.

Is this the strength of a biotechnology company?
The assistants and guards were used to it. They quickly put the mutant rat corpses into professional cages, got into the car neatly and closed the door.
