Chapter 230 Catching the Thief

The mother and her two children from the Meng family went back home, and Xiwa was also taken away by Meng Er.

After the outsiders left, Zhao Xiaoxiu said to her father, "Those people have reached the end of their rope. If we don't handle it well, there will be a conflict."

Zhao Gang stroked the cub's braids and said something philosophical: "Even if the sky falls, there are still tall people to hold it up. Let's go wash the vegetables with daddy."

Zhao Xiaoxiu was stunned for a moment and then he rolled his eyes and understood.

He jumped and skipped to follow his father's footsteps, and called out to Monkey Sister, who always wanted to jump up and slap Peter Pan, to go wash the vegetables.

The mutant cabbages planted in the yard were nourished by the rain and have all matured.

Because it was Grandma Meng who helped take care of the fruits, Zhao Gang gave one third to the Meng family, and had Sister Monkey pick the remaining two thirds.

The mutant cabbage shakes its leaves like a moving top. If you want to make it behave, you have to break off its leaves immediately and throw them into boiling water.

Zhao Gang found two large boxes, put the blanched fresh leaves into the boxes, covered them with plastic wrap, and put them in the refrigerator.

He blanched the rest and stuffed them into jars to make sauerkraut.

If you have something to do, you won't have any random thoughts. Zhao Xiaoxiu actively helped her father. Together, the father and daughter filled the three vegetable jars, sealed them, and moved them to an empty corner of the storage room.

Zhao Xiaoxiu asked in surprise: "Is it ready now? I only added salt, nothing else."

Zhao Gang nodded: "Wait for them to ferment on their own, and they will become sour in about three days."

Zhao Xiaoxiu said that she had learned something new. It turns out that pickling sauerkraut is so simple.

As night fell, Mo Shigui and others who had gone out to provide support returned.

The loud speaker in the car was turned on, announcing: [The authorities have just issued the latest instructions. For the wandering survivors outside the planting area, each area will adopt a no-man's land policy. As long as the other party does not endanger the planting area, they will not be driven away, included, or use force! ]

[When the rainy season is over, the authorities will take gentle measures to expel the wandering survivors. We hope that the lords of each district will try to stay at home during this period and do not leave the protection range of the territory isolation zone.]

Zhao Xiaoxiu soaked her feet in the hot water, climbed onto the bed, and got into the soft thin quilt. She looked at the beautiful nebula pattern on the ceiling and thought to herself: This is what it means when the sky falls, there are still people tall enough to hold it up.

The authorities also know that a cornered dog will jump over the wall, so after stopping the armed conflict in Area A, they immediately issued a mild response policy.

The wandering survivors also knew the military strength of the Hope Base. They came to the planting area only because it was the largest safe zone in the wild. As long as they could safely avoid the rainy season, they would leave on their own.

Now that they have received a mild official solution, the wandering survivors have voluntarily moved one hundred meters away from the boundary of the planting area and set up camp in the open ground.

There is a five-kilometer isolation zone and patrol stations where soldiers take turns to clear out the invading mutants, and the wandering survivors finally get a moment of respite.

But after only one day of peace, food disappeared from the lord's house for no apparent reason.

The defense line of the planting area is very long, and whether it is building high walls or laying electric fences, it will cost a huge amount of money.

What's more, supplies are scarce now, and factory production cannot keep up with the needs of residents. Even if there are enough points, high walls and power grids cannot be built.

All Mo Shigui and his men could do was to conduct cross-patrols and keep a close eye on the camp of wandering survivors a hundred meters away to prevent anyone from breaking into the planting area.

But human energy is limited, and no matter how hard they try, they cannot stop those survivors who are desperately jumping down from the pile of rocks.

All the nutrient solution stored in Bai Cailing's home was stolen.

Early in the morning, before the rain stopped and the night had faded completely, Bai Cailing gathered Hao Ran, Wen Fei, Zhang Lijun and others who were near the pile of rocks in the east, rushed to the patrol station, and questioned them angrily. It was unknown what Mo Shigui said to them, but soon, a group of people drove to the entrance of Zhao Xiaoxiu's territory.

The bell hanging on the roadside was shaken by Bai Cailing, making a "ding-ding-ding" sound, completely drowning out the sound of the heavy rain.

Granny Meng came out in a raincoat and asked angrily, "What are you doing? You're making so much noise so early in the morning!"

Bai Cailing's momentum suddenly waned, and she whimpered in the rain, "Those wandering survivors sneaked into the base to steal things, and all my nutrient solution was stolen!"

When Granny Meng heard this, her expression eased a little. She looked at the lords in front of her and asked tentatively, "Why don't you go to the patrol team to report the case?"

Speaking of this, Bai Cailing became angry, "Stationmaster Mo said that they had no evidence and it was not easy to arrest people to avoid escalating the conflict. I knew from the beginning that this patrol station was unreliable. We lords have to unite ourselves to protect our own interests!"

"Let's discuss something with Brother Zhao." Zhang Lijun said anxiously.

In the past, he was eager to take the lead, but after the Steven incident, he took the initiative to give the title of Big Brother to Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang himself didn't say anything, and now all the lords in the planting area tacitly acknowledged that he was the boss.

All of Bai Cailing’s nutrient solution was stolen. This seemed to be her own business, but it actually concerned the safety of the entire planting area.

If they leave Bai Cailing's family affairs alone, the wandering survivors outside will think that these lords are easy to bully and will only become more unscrupulous.

Grandma Meng brought them into the territory. The lords saw that it was peaceful and harmonious, not at all disturbed by the mutated plants and animals, and the crops were growing better and better. They felt jealous and envious.

Why can't they have a green wall?

Only when they saw the low-lying area turned into a swamp did the lords feel a little relieved.

Zhao Gang met them in the hall, while Zhao Xiaoxiu and Monkey Sister hid in the stairwell to eavesdrop on the adults' conversation.

Bai Cailing still wanted to get the nutrient solution back. Although she didn't need these points now, she couldn't swallow this humiliation.

Zhang Lijun, Hao Ran and others were prepared for danger, fearing that if they did not show up this time, they would be the next to suffer.

Is there danger in the cubs' happy growth base?
Zhao Gang would never allow that.

He looked at Zhang Lijun and ordered him confidently: "Contact the other lords and ask them to gather at the entrance with weapons and catch the thief."

Zhang Lijun and his companions looked at each other in delight. They were afraid that Zhang Lijun could not make the call alone, so they took out their communicators to notify other lords.

With Zhao Gang taking the lead, all the lords responded immediately after receiving the message.

Half an hour later, all the lords of Area B appeared at the entrance of the plantation.

In the crude camp a hundred meters away, the wandering survivors saw these lords approaching aggressively and immediately picked up the weapons at hand.

Zhao Xiaoxiu asked Xiwa to help drive the car and also came to the entrance.

She and Sister Monkey sat in the passenger seat, while Peter Pan lay on the roof, nervously watching Zhao Gang lead the lords into the Wanderer camp.

Zhao Gang never wastes time when doing things. He stared at the thief at a glance, stretched out his hand and pointed, and Sheng Qingyang and Dongfang Ling stood up silently from behind the thief in an instant.

The elusive figure caught the thief off guard. Before he could run away, his hands were tied behind his back and pinned to the thick wet wooden stakes used to pitch the tent in the camp. He struggled violently like a trapped beast.
