Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 157 Moving
That night, the moon was dark and the wind was strong.

In the backyard of Zhao Xiaoxiu's house, ten meters to the left of the greenhouse.

The Meng brothers shone flashlights stealthily, and Zhao Gang transformed his tentacles into hard drill bits at the pre-circled area, and began to drill a hole downwards.

After twenty tense minutes, a hole with a diameter of about 40 centimeters appeared in front of the three people, surrounded by piles of dug-out soil and rubble.

At first, the gravel and soil were dry, then slowly began to become moist, and in the end, it was a wet mass of muddy water.

Zhao Gang used his tentacles to dig a hole eighteen meters deep. The three of them squatted at the entrance of the hole and looked inside with strong flashlights. A little water light slowly gathered and refracted a silver mirror light.

"Is this a success?" Meng Er looked at his brother Meng Da nervously.

Meng Da scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "I think so."

Finally, the two brothers looked at Zhao Gang, who had an expressionless face, waiting for his reply.

Zhao Gang recalled the human memories in his mind and finally came to a positive conclusion: "This is the well!"

The two Meng brothers looked at each other with joy, and curiously looked at this rough deep well for a while, and then cast admiring eyes at Zhao Gang.

Meng Er murmured enviously, "I don't know when I can save up enough points for a bottle of evolution potion."

If possible, he hopes that he can evolve a tentacle that can be used as a drill bit - with the well-digging technology in hand, he will never have to worry about food and drink!

The three of them struck while the iron was hot and brought bricks to build a half-meter-high fence at the well mouth. Then they went back to their homes and waited for tomorrow to see how high the water level in the well could rise.

When Zhao Xiaoxiu woke up, she found a well suddenly appeared behind her house. She was a little shocked at the speed of her father's actions.

"So fast!" Zhao Xiaoxiu lay down at the edge of the well and looked down. With her good eyesight, she could clearly see her face reflected in the water.

After a night of sedimentation, the well water became clear. The water surface was about four meters above the ground. It was clean and much cleaner than the river water where various microorganisms were free.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was surprised and said, "Dad, I think Uncle Meng and the others can drink it without filtering it."

Zhao Gang did not comment. He and the cub could drink anything, and he did not care about others.

Zhao Xiaoxiu shrugged. There was no experimental data to prove that it was drinkable. Even if she told Uncle Meng and the others directly, they would definitely not dare to drink it directly.

"Forget it."

Zhao Xiaoxiu happily surrounded her father and watched him set up the water pump.

The Meng brothers had no idea about this kind of professional circuit layout, so they just worked hard to move bricks and pave the floor in the front yard, trying to finish paving the remaining space today.

I originally wanted to pave the road leading to the territory entrance, but I found that there were not enough bricks, so I could only pave half of it.

After Zhao Gang discovered this, he demolished another house and finally paved the entire road with bricks.

Not only that, at Zhao Xiaoxiu's strong request, two vegetable plots were built on both sides of the courtyard entrance.

It is prepared to be used to grow the evolved peppers distributed at the base, as well as mutated onions, ginger, cucumbers, and cabbages.

The number of seeds is too small, so they can only be planted in the yard in the first year.

Grandma Meng was extremely wary of these mutated plants, so Zhao Xiaoxiu relayed to her the expert class that her father had previously attended.

Tell her that experts already have countermeasures for dealing with mutants during the mutation period, and as long as you follow the method, they will not go crazy and eat people.

Grandma Meng was skeptical, but she still picked up the hoe to help cultivate the vegetable field and tried to take the first step.

When she was young, she was an expert in growing vegetables in the community. The vegetables she grew were not only more productive than others, but also of better quality. The two families worked together for three days, and the family had water, paved the road, and planted the vegetable seeds.

The patrol station urged the lords to plant seasonal crops. Before February is a good time to plant evolved sweet potatoes.

After finishing these chores at home, Zhao Gang took out two evolved sweet potato seeds and cultivated them into seedlings according to the methods taught by experts.

Zhao Xiaoxiu took the Meng brothers, picked up their hoes and went to a nearby open space, where they cleared a new sweet potato field and waited for the sweet potato seedlings to emerge before planting them.

Both the evolved sweet potatoes and the evolved potatoes are evolving towards the direction of "bigger", from having multiple seeds to having only one seed. A seedling only produces one seed at most, which can grow into the size of a basketball when mature.

The base provides two species, one of which can produce more than 30 sprouts, and the required soil area is only about 60 square meters.

The sweet potato field is next to the potato field, and not far from the two fields is an acre of mutant rapeseed.

After the winter snow melted, the mutant rapeseed seedlings entered a crazy growth period and have now grown to 90 centimeters in height.

The evolved potatoes are also lush green, with leaves as big as Zhao Xiaoxiu's palm. They lie low in the morning and evening, and immediately stand up when the sun comes out.

Experts say that growing evolved crops and mutant crops together can slightly suppress the mutation of mutant crops.

Thinking of the mutation, Zhao Xiaoxiu remembered that the mutation period of the mutant rapeseed flowers was when they bloomed, which was between March and April.

"Sister Monkey!" Zhao Xiaoxiu shouted, and asked Sister Monkey to hold her and ran to the greenhouse.

"Let's move all the sunflowers to the rapeseed field." Zhao Xiaoxiu ordered.

Sister Monkey didn't understand, but she respected the situation, so she moved fifteen pots of evolved sunflowers that had grown green flower disks and were one meter and three meters tall onto the hoverboard.

Zhao Xiaoxiu used the hoverboard to transport all the sunflowers to the rapeseed field, and asked the Meng brothers to help spread them around the rapeseed field.

The sunflowers were in pots, and Zhao Xiaoxiu didn't plant them in the ground because she thought it would be easier to transport them.

While I was busy, I heard Liu Miaomiao calling from the small building behind me: "Sister Xiaoxiu!"

Zhao Xiaoxiu looked back in surprise. During this period, she looked for Sister Miaomiao, but she was never at home. Every day, she followed the adults in the family to their own Territory No. 16 and came back very late.

"We're leaving!" Liu Miaomiao said loudly.

Zhao Xiaoxiu had expected that there would be a day when they would be separated, but she didn't expect it would be today.

He quickly left Sister Monkey to watch the Meng brothers place the sunflowers, and ran over with the hoverboard.

"Sister Miaomiao, are you moving today?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked.

Liu Miaomiao nodded, held her hand reluctantly, and said, "Mom and Dad have already repaired the new house. We have to go back to our own territory to farm, otherwise we will miss the season."

At this point, Liu Miaomiao couldn't help but ask curiously, "Xiaoxiu, do you know what the season is?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu nodded: "I know, this season is the best time to plant crops."

Liu Miaomiao looked at her in surprise: "You know so much. I didn't know that. I just heard mom and dad say that all the time."

As the two were talking, they had already walked into Zhao Xiaoxiu's yard.

The adults are all here. Mr. and Mrs. Qiu Bai and Wang Xiang are also preparing to move out today and are greeting the landlord, Zhao Gang.

The Jiang Ning couple and Grandpa Jiang were also here. When they saw their daughter and Zhao Xiaoxiu come back, they looked at the two little sisters tenderly.
