Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 249 Conscience
"what are you doing?"

The girl's puzzled voice sounded behind him, which scared Xiwa. The box in his hand also trembled and fell down with a "bang", almost hitting the back of his foot.

Xiwa smiled awkwardly, picked up the suitcase containing the evolution potion and put it back next to the flower pot as if nothing had happened, "Hey, little aunt, you're done washing."

He didn't notice that the green branches in the flowerpot had already revealed poisonous thorns. If he took a step out of the tent, he would be poisoned to death.

Zhao Xiaoxiu walked into the tent with wet hair draped behind her back, looking like a completely harmless four-year-old child.

But when her eyes swept over him, Xiwa's bones went numb, and his knees couldn't help but bend and he knelt down.

An inexplicable fear lingered around him, a fear that came from the depths of his soul - a deep fear of the unspeakable horror.

Although Zhao Gang is no longer with us, the deterrent he left behind is still effective.

In front of Zhao Xiaoxiu, Xiwa couldn't even resist.

He explained in a panic, "I, I, I didn't mean to steal the chemical reagents. I just wanted to take a look. Yes! I just wanted to check if there was anything wrong with the reagents. After all, they have been out for so long. Without a refrigerated environment, they are likely to go bad."

Zhao Xiaoxiu glanced at him, this guy who was full of lies.

"You want to steal all the evolution potions, leave us all alone and go away." Zhao Xiaoxiu spoke directly out his thoughts.

Xiwa was shocked and quickly waved his hands and said, "No, he is definitely not that kind of person."

Zhao Xiaoxiu looked at him calmly. Xiwa was kneeling and she was standing, so their eyes were aligned.

"That's what you think." Zhao Xiaoxiu would never believe his lies.

She sat down in the tent, moved the flower pot to her side, and placed the suitcase containing 40 evolution potions on her knees. She opened the buckle and counted the nutrient solution inside.

Xiwa couldn't guess what the little girl was going to do, so he moved towards the entrance of the tent and asked tentatively:

"Little aunt, what are your plans next? You can't go back to District B, and the boss is like that again. You are the only child left. I'm afraid your life will be difficult from now on."

Zhao Xiaoxiu didn't respond. Xiwa smiled awkwardly and continued, "How about you come with me to find a wanderer alliance and we join them?"

"With Sister Monkey, the fish, and my support, you can definitely become the boss. With this batch of evolution potions, it's not impossible for us to carve out a piece of land and become local tyrants!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, looking at the swaying branches in the flowerpot, "We can continue to build a green wall, then it will be just like staying in Territory No. 13."

"I don't plan to do that." Zhao Xiaoxiu suddenly interrupted Xiwa who was becoming more and more excited.

Xiwa let out a disappointed wail, "What are you going to do? You're not still thinking of going back to Area B to look for the Meng brothers, are you? Let me make it clear to you, they can't go back to Area B right now. They're being targeted by the biological company, and they can't even protect themselves."

"If you want to go back, go back by yourself. I won't go back."

As he said that, he didn't seem to want to pretend anymore, and said directly: "I followed these two into the mountains to find you without caring about my life. Even if I didn't get any credit, I worked hard. Give me two evolution potions, and we can part ways in peace."

Sister Monkey roared angrily and spit on Little Boy, causing him to shrink in fear, but he still wanted to fight for the evolution potion.

He didn't believe that Zhao Xiaoxiu, a four-year-old girl, could be so cruel as to kill someone, so he was "fearless".

Of course, he didn't dare to rob by force. Not to mention the monkey behind him who was eyeing her hungrily, just look at the little girl squatting in front of him. If he dared to have the idea of ​​bullying her, he would definitely lose his mind and die like Steven did in the past.

Zhao Xiaoxiu fastened the combination button of the box, tilted her head, and the water drops on the roots of her hair dripped down. No tentacles came to help her dry her hair. The little girl thought seriously for a while, and under the expectant gaze of the little baby, she said: "I will give you three evolution potions, but you have to do something for me first."

Xiwa immediately asked excitedly: "What's the matter?"

"Help me sell all these evolution potions, and give me a new points card. I can save all the points I get on this card."

Before she finished her words, Xiwa's face changed.

But Zhao Xiaoxiu didn't give him a chance to refuse and continued, "You can leave after you finish this. I will give you three evolution potions as promised."

Xiwa originally wanted to say that he couldn't do it, because what Zhao Xiaoxiu said could only be done on the black market.

The black market has close ties with Evan from the Green Alliance, which is tantamount to sending him to his death.

"I will give all 37 evolution potions to you. I won't blame you if you take them away." Zhao Xiaoxiu looked at him sincerely and obediently.

It was as if she regarded him as the only person she could rely on and trust.

Xiwa felt that the child's trusting eyes were scorching, so she quickly looked away and didn't meet her gaze.

"Meng Qiu said that a fence-sitter like me might betray you at any time. Have you forgotten that?"

He actually dared to hand him 37 evolution potions and let him take them away alone. Only a fool would not run away with such a good opportunity.

Zhao Xiaoxiu suddenly sniffed, lowered her head, and whispered, "Brother Xiwa, Dad is dead. Only you can help me now."

Xiwa felt the hairs on his face stand up, as if something called conscience was trying to control him.

"Without points, I can't buy food and supplies. I can only stay in the mountains with Sister Monkey and the others as a little savage, living a life of having no food to eat. I don't know when I will starve to death."

Xiwa: "No, it's not that bad."

Zhao Xiaoxiu raised the back of her hand and rubbed her eyelids. "It's okay, Brother Xiwa. Forget it. I know you have always been a cowardly person and can't do these things. I shouldn't force you like this. Forget it."

"What does it count? It doesn't count!" Xiwa stood up suddenly and put his head against the tent, luckily the tent didn't fly away.

He said angrily: "Don't look down on me, bring the things here! It's just a small matter, what can't be done?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu looked up, her eyes full of doubt, "Can it be done?"

Xiwa patted his chest and signaled her to bring the box quickly.

Zhao Xiaoxiu pretended to be distrustful and hesitated for a long time before handing the box to him.

Xiwa took it and left. He rushed out for a while, then suddenly turned around and reminded her: "Wait here, little girl. I will be back in three days!"

"Brother Xiwa, wait a moment!" Zhao Xiaoxiu chased after him with a touched look on her face, stuffed the flower pot containing the green fairy into his messenger bag, and reminded him:

"When you need help, the Green Fairy will help you. You must come back safely. I will always be waiting for you here."

A trace of regret flashed through Xiwa's mind, but the atmosphere had come to this point, and he would never allow himself to retreat. He nodded heavily and went down the mountain.
