Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 20 Imp
The two brothers of the Meng family never imagined that they would be sent to a little ghost as food.

Before, they had only heard that some people would be reluctant to part with their deceased relatives, and even if they knew that the other party had become a monster with no humanity, vicious and cruel, who only fed on flesh and blood, they would still conceal the truth and hide secretly.

The cunning thing about these monsters is that they can see through human attachments.

They then begin to imitate the people that humans love, tricking humans into becoming their food, or asking humans to find living people as food for them.

If this demand is not met, it will go crazy and take revenge on the humans who hid it.

The Meng brothers were just thankful that the hidden ghost was only the size of a six or seven-year-old child.

Perhaps because the little devil felt that the two motionless humans posed no threat, he did not bite their throats at the beginning.

Instead, they started eating from their hands and feet.

Because of this, the two brothers were able to struggle to wake up from the tremendous pain.

The drug given by Shanyuan is enough to make an elephant unconscious.

The two Meng brothers, with weak bodies and blurred consciousness, could only rely on their instinct for survival to deal with the little ghost.

The two brothers didn't dare to think that they could survive, but they just held on to the revengeful mentality of taking someone down with them even if they died, so they risked everything to kill this little devil before they died!
But the two brothers never expected that they could actually hear Zhao Xiaoxiu's call.

Those childish voices sounded like heavenly sounds in the dark haunted house.

There was a loud noise of "Boom!"

A blood-red tentacle as big as a bowl forcefully penetrated through the specially made metal door.

There was light in the dark haunted house, shining directly onto the little ghost whose ankles were chained.

Its hair was disheveled, and it was wearing a suspender dress that had been repeatedly soaked in blood, and its original color could no longer be seen.

The deformed and twisted hands and feet were completely supported on the ground, like a wild beast.

The sudden burst of light stung its bloodshot eyes.

It subconsciously closed its eyes, opened its mouth as wide as possible, and let out a shrill scream of anger and grievance from its throat.

The two Meng brothers who were closest to it felt a splitting headache and their eardrums were tightening and aching. They wished they could bang their heads against the wall to relieve the pain.

Zhao Gang's warm and large palm quickly pressed Zhao Xiaoxiu's head into his arms, blocking out the shrill scream.

The next second, the tentacles that could penetrate the metal door ruthlessly and decisively pierced into the kid's brain.

The screams stopped abruptly.

The only sound was the clanging of the chains caused by the little ghost's struggle.

Shanyuan, who fell outside the Buddhist temple, felt a huge pain in his heart and silently called out "baby". His eyes suddenly widened, his body suddenly went limp, and he died.

Zhao Xiaoxiu stepped out of her father's arms, glanced at her father lying on the ground, frowned, and couldn't tell what she felt in her heart.

This was not the first time she had seen someone die tragically in front of her up close.

But it was the first time after she left the base that she saw how cruel the world controlled by the SHASI virus was to humans.

Compared with the outside world, the unfinished buildings in the base are indeed a place that survivors yearn for.

Zhao Xiaoxiu ordered his father to dismantle the door and move the two Meng brothers, who seemed a little unconscious, to the duty room.

Zhao Gang poured a bucket of cold water on them, and the two brothers were immediately startled and jumped up from the ground.

Blood mixed with sweat rolled down, and the injuries on the two men were clearly exposed.

Seeing the bloody holes on Meng Lao's calves that were gnawed to the bone, and the pieces of flesh that had been torn off Meng Lao's arms, Zhao Xiaoxiu couldn't help but gasp.

She quickly asked Zhao Gang to take out the fungi that the three of them had brought from their bags, and together the father and daughter applied the hyphae to the brothers' wounds.

The mycelium has a significant hemostatic effect and quickly sticks to the flesh and blood to form a thin film, temporarily isolating the wound from contact with other bacteria in the air.

However, the mycelium they brought was not enough, and they could only barely cover the most serious wounds of the two people. For the remaining wounds, Zhao Xiaoxiu asked Zhao Gang to cut off the clothes on the two people and bandaged them hastily.

The furnishings in the duty room were clearly visible, with no place to hide anything.

Zhao Xiaoxiu jumped up and down in the room, trying to find something to treat the wound.

Nothing came of it.

"He's dead. He needs to be burned."

Seeing that the Meng brothers looked better than before and had regained consciousness, Zhao Gang immediately took the two of them out to deal with the bodies of Shanyuan and the little ghost.

The two brothers had just escaped death, and before they could recover, they were caught and forced to work.

Meng Lao Er leaned against the wall and complained: "Brother Gangzi, do you still have any humanity?"

He said this, but it didn't stop him from finding the lighter and lamp oil from the kitchen.

My hand was disabled, so I could only call Zhao Gang in to take the things out.

When Zhao Gang took the things, he said to Meng Lao Er in a serious tone, "No."

He is not a human being, how can he have humanity?

Meng Lao Er, who had not followed Zhao Gang's train of thought, was confused by the word "no" and leaned forward: "Huh?"

"What are you saying? Come here quickly and help me move these firewood over!" Boss Meng roared angrily.

He injured his leg and had difficulty moving.

Meng Laoer hurried out. One of the two brothers had an injured hand and the other had an injured foot, so there was not much work they could do.

Zhao Gang waved his hand and asked them to stay aside. He took Chai and Shanyuan's bodies, as well as the little ghost with its head blown off and its limbs still struggling, to the open space in the backyard and burned them.

The raging flames shot up into the sky, and the entire temple was illuminated red by the flames.

I don't know when the rain stopped, and the only sound on the quiet mountain was the crackling of burning firewood.

The raging fire burned off Shanyuan's monk's robe, revealing his extremely emaciated body, which was covered with scars and had only a little flesh covering the skeleton.

Meng Lao Er frowned, incredulous: "A monk actually cut his own flesh to feed that little ghost?"

Elder Meng thought about what happened today and guessed, "This little ghost must be his daughter."

"He is not a monk here." Zhao Xiaoxiu dragged out a mountaineering bag that was bigger than her from the Buddhist temple. She rummaged in the bag with her little hands and took out a wallet.

Boss Meng reached out to take it, opened the wallet and saw that inside were the ID cards of a man and a woman, as well as a photo of three of them.

In the photo, the man is holding the woman's shoulders, and the woman is holding a chubby and cute little girl with two pigtails in her arms.

The family of three looks very happy.

The man in the photo looks extremely similar to Shanyuan.

It's just that one looks a little fatter and has a rounder face.

One cheek is thin and looks very old.

"He was probably traveling, but his wife and child had accidents one after another, so he stayed in the temple." Boss Meng said.

Zhao Xiaoxiu agreed and poured out everything in his backpack.

Inside were some old-looking but good-quality men's and women's clothes, toys and snacks for the children, and two dead solar flashlights.

Meng Laoer's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhao Xiaoxiu.

The two of them chuckled, no longer sleepy, and began to conduct a carpet search of the temple.
