Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 168 Evolution Centipede Harry
The sun was shining brightly at noon. The climate at the end of February was neither too cold nor too hot. The warm feeling on my body was very comfortable.

The evolved sweet potatoes have sprouted, but Dad is not at home, so Zhao Xiaoxiu decides to call the Meng brothers to plant all the sweet potato sprouts today.

Experts say that after the evolved sweet potatoes sprout, they should be divided into small pieces and planted. Seedlings should be cultivated first, and when they grow to a certain size, they need to be transplanted a second time.

Now the two sweet potatoes have sprouted a total of more than 60 sprouts. Zhao Xiaoxiu asked Meng Er to cut them all into small pieces, take them to the land that had been cleared outside the house, and plant the sweet potato seedlings individually.

It takes an adult less than an hour to plant dozens of sweet potatoes.

Zhao Xiaoxiu and Sister Hou fetched water from the well and watered all the young sprouts. Then they just had to wait patiently for about 45 days for the seedlings to grow before planting them.

Including the various mutant crops planted in the vegetable beds in the yard, only the mutant peppers, cucumbers and radishes were left unplanted from the seed gift packages distributed by the base.

Granny Meng, the mutant chili, is leaving, and confidently states that she will be in charge.

Before, she was worried that it would be dangerous to stay with mutated plants, but now after experiencing it firsthand and understanding the characteristics of these mutated crops, and knowing that they will not go berserk at any time and place, Grandma Meng's mentality has changed a lot.

Yesterday, the mother and her two children did not get anything when they went to the isolation zone. After all, there was a patrol team there, and it was basically impossible to find anything inside the isolation zone.

If you really want to hunt, you have to go to the farther and deeper mountains and forests.

The Meng brothers are aware of their own strength, and it is too dangerous for them to go too deep now.

Therefore, the mother and her two sons have no plans to go into the mountains again recently. At least until Zhao Gang finishes his work with the road construction team, they will stay at home, repair the house, or take care of the crops in front of their home and learn how to farm.

Now that everything that can be planted has been planted, Granny Meng looked at the large tracts of vacant land left in the territory and discussed with Zhao Xiaoxiu:
"Since the three of us have nothing to do anyway, why don't we reclaim some land first and find some low-level mutant fruit trees or wild flowers and weeds near the isolation zone to plant back?"

"I heard a news report on the official channel this morning saying that someone has evolved the ability to tame mutant animals. Jiangcheng has domesticated mutant cows and sheep for sale. Can we set up a livestock farm and try to raise two mutant dairy cows and a few mutant flying chickens?"

After all, humans are omnivorous animals. They not only need staple foods and vegetables, but also meat.

Relying solely on hunting to obtain meat is both unstable and dangerous.

The conditions were not there in the past, but now that we have such a large farm in front of us, we must make full use of it.

Zhao Xiaoxiu hadn't thought about it so much yet, but what Grandma Meng said about finding fruit trees, wild flowers and weeds to plant outside coincided with her original idea of ​​building a back garden.

However, it is not easy to find edible and delicious fruit trees or useful flowers and plants.

"Grandma, what do you want to do?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked curiously.

Granny Meng spread her hands and smiled, "It's a simple way. We can build a safety barrier between the planting area and the residential area. If there is an emergency, we will have enough time to respond."

As for the livestock farm, Grandma Meng was unsure either way. She decided to start with a small number of animals and build defensive fences to ensure human safety first.

Zhao Xiaoxiu also felt that this was a bit dangerous, but when she thought about the fact that her blood could inhibit the virus, she nodded excitedly and said, "Then let's give it a try."

Granny Meng: "Buy two cows and five flying chickens first!"

Zhao Xiaoxiu agreed and added, "Then when Dad comes back, we'll go to the mountains together and transplant all the edible fruit trees here."

When the Meng brothers heard this, they smiled at each other. With Brother Gangzi here, a few small hills are no problem! The mother and her two children were probably used to Zhao Xiaoxiu's uniqueness and didn't treat her as a child who knew nothing. The three of them held a notebook and discussed with her the division of the vacant land in the territory.

We were chatting animatedly and had agreed to meet at noon, but Youyou arrived two hours late.

Two guards rode a three-meter-long evolved centipede and carried Youyou to the entrance of Territory No. 13.

When Zhao Xiaoxiu and a few others heard the noise, they walked out of the courtyard and looked up, and saw a multi-legged centipede as big as a normal python, with a customized seat and steering rope connected to its back, wandering on the road.

With one hundred legs exerting force at the same time, the speed can reach sixty yards, and it runs steadily on the bumpy loess road.

Meng Er exclaimed in a low voice: "Put a seat on the back of the centipede and add a traction control rope, doesn't this become a motorcycle?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu's eyes lit up, and the devices on the evolved centipede gave her inspiration.
It seems that she can also build a device for Peter Pan that can automatically water the plants, so that Peter Pan's floating range will no longer be limited!

"Kosode!"

Youyou stood up from his chair and waved happily at Zhao Xiaoxiu, saying loudly: "You have Monkey Sister, and I also have Harry!"

Harry is the evolved centipede under him, and was specially transported here from Jiangcheng headquarters today by a fighter transport plane.

This centipede was the first evolved creature discovered and successfully domesticated and utilized by the Hope Base branch of the biological company.

It has been reported in the news before, but at that time the centipede was only the size of a chopstick.

Two years passed in a blink of an eye, and it had grown so big that it could be used as a means of transportation, which was beyond people's expectations.

Zhao Xiaoxiu and the mother and son of the Meng family looked at each other, not understanding how this originally kept secret experimental creature was suddenly shown to the public.

"Mom's new research base has been busy until now because she is waiting for Harry and the others to come. Otherwise, I wouldn't be late." Youyou explained carefully.

He glanced at Zhao Xiaoxiu again, "You won't be angry that I'm late, right?"

The guards and centipedes all stopped at the entrance, only Youyou ran into the territory and came to Zhao Xiaoxiu's house.

Zhao Xiaoxiu once said that she didn’t want Youyou’s guards to get close to her. Youyou always remembered this and never let the guards follow him in when he went to Zhao Xiaoxiu’s house.

The evolved centipede was indeed eye-catching, and the patrolling soldiers and road repair team lords passing by would stop to take a look.

Everyone enviously thought that if only all the survivors could tame and evolve animals and plants to serve as helpers, then they would no longer have to be afraid of the forest.

But how can you meet powerful evolved animals and plants whenever you want?
It's just a fantasy in my mind.

Since there were guests at home, Grandma Meng and her two sons had to put their discussion on land planning on hold.

The adults went about their business, leaving Zhao Xiaoxiu and Youyou, who was marveling at the flower wall, in the yard.

He had brought Harry here specifically to show off to Zhao Xiaoxiu, but he didn't expect to be overshadowed by the flower wall in front of him.

The little guy sighed like an adult, "Oh~" and had to admit that Uncle Zhao and Zhao Xiaoxiu seemed, seemed, and might be much better than his mother.
