Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 256 The Worst Parents

The visitor didn't say anything, but just stood behind the door, staring at him angrily.

Pei Yankai sighed helplessly, picked up the vaccine report on the table, tried to ease the atmosphere again, and said with a smile:
"Yang Mei, you are a great contributor to humanity. Congratulations. I think you will be promoted and transferred to the headquarters soon."

"Youyou said he hates you." Yang Mei said coldly.

The smile on Pei Yankai's face disappeared instantly, and he explained anxiously: "He is just a child and doesn't understand the seriousness of the matter. Don't you understand it either?"

Yang Mei sneered, "Of course I understand, so I won't use my son to become an accomplice in killing a good friend."

"Yang Mei, don't speak so harshly." Pei Yankai questioned, "My son likes me so much, how could he hate me? Are you trying to sow discord?"

"We are divorced, but there is no need to treat each other as enemies, right? Do you really want your son to hate his biological father?"

Yang Mei shook her head, feeling that the man in front of her was so unfamiliar that she didn't even recognize him.

She didn't come here to listen to his nonsense. Yang Mei stepped forward and took the vaccine report. "I came here just to inform you that in five minutes, at 6 pm, the management and command of this research base will be in my hands."

"So, Director Pei, please leave my office in five minutes and take your mercenaries away from here."

"Heh~" Pei Yankai couldn't help but laugh at himself. He looked into his ex-wife's eyes. This woman looked at him with contempt as if he were a piece of shit. It was totally unreasonable!
Seeing that she was about to leave, Pei Yan rushed forward and blocked the door. "I came all the way from the island to celebrate Youyou's birthday. Is that wrong?"

"And you, Director Yang Meiyang!" Pei Yankai's expression turned cold. "The task assigned to you by the headquarters has been thoroughly investigated. Why are you hiding it?"

"Not only did you not report it, you also secretly built this research base and conducted observation and research privately. Do you care about the lives of the lords in Area B? Do you know how terrifying that guy's power is? You also brought my son here and let him be friends with that guy? Are you crazy!"

On this point, Yang Mei was indeed guilty and had nothing to say.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Pei Yankai's tone became much tougher, pointing at the successful vaccine development report in her hand, "Did you do more glorious things for Youyou than I did for your signature on this report?"

Yang Mei was really furious and shouted his name loudly: "Pei, Yan, Kai!"

"If you weren't Youyou's mother, do you think the higher-ups would let you off so easily for what you did in Area B?"

Yang Mei: "Oh, I should thank you too, Director Pei!"

Pei Yankai was speechless. He waved his hands, not wanting to settle this confusing account any more.

But there is one thing, he must get an accurate answer from Yang Mei.

"The search team didn't find any clues. Do you think the guy is dead?"

Yang Mei: "I don't know."

do not know?
This answer is really interesting.

Pei Yankai said: "After being transferred to the headquarters, you must undergo a comprehensive inspection."

Yang Mei shrugged and said casually.

"Since you will be transferred to the headquarters soon and your authority will be upgraded, there are some things I can tell you in advance."

Pei Yankai said: "You think too superficially. That guy appeared on this planet two centuries ago. For hundreds of years, our understanding of him is just the tip of the iceberg."

"And the tip of the iceberg we can understand is most likely the tip of the iceberg that He wants us to understand, do you understand?"

"Yang Mei." Pei Yankai looked around her with worried eyes, "I'm worried that you've been controlled by Him."

Yang Mei met his suspicious gaze openly, "So what if I'm controlled? I actually hope to be controlled, which will help me understand Him better." Pei Yankai couldn't believe it, "You are really crazy!"

Yang Mei did not respond to his words. After thinking for a moment, she said sincerely: "The successful development of the vaccine is the hero of mankind. This damn SHASI virus will finally become a thing of the past."

"Pei Yankai, He is more merciful than you and I thought. I think humans should establish friendly communication with Him instead of using incendiary bombs to solve the problem." Speaking of this, Yang Mei seemed like a different person, with an extremely pious expression.

Pei Yankai became even more determined and decided to give her a comprehensive check-up when he returned to the headquarters.

"Are you still having dinner?" he asked expectantly.

Yang Mei shook her head at him, "Youyou said he doesn't want to see you, I'll have dinner with him. Director Pei, pack up and take your people with you and get out. Bye."

Waving arrogantly at Pei Yankai, Yang Mei left with her own success report.

But on the way to the restaurant, the switch between the roles of director and mother made this confident woman feel uneasy and nervous.

Children are actually very smart, and parents always unconsciously discuss "that scary guy" in front of their children. Youyou has actually noticed that his playmate Zhao Xiaoxiu is different from ordinary people.

August in Area B was chaotic and tense. Dad was busy searching for missing persons in the mountains, Mom was busy with her vaccine research report, and Youyou stayed alone in the room watching the news, holding the satellite phone tightly in his hand.

He was looking forward to a call from Zhao Xiaoxiu, hoping to hear her tell him: I'm back, I'm fine, I'll come over with a gift soon, and let's eat birthday cake together!
But he still doesn't know what birthday gift Zhao Xiaoxiu prepared for him.

Because from that day on, he never received a call from her again.

Zhao Xiaoxiu must hate him to death. She must know that the incendiary bomb was fired by his father, and she must never want to care about him again.

Mom, Dad, and everyone around them said that the incendiary bomb was launched to eliminate the S-class mutants.

Youyou didn’t know whether others knew the truth, but he knew that the S-level mutant his father was talking about was his friend Zhao Xiaoxiu.

It was because of her that his mother established a new research base in the planting area. Youyou knew all these things, but he told no one.

He likes his friend Zhao Xiaoxiu, even though she is a monster, she is a good little monster friend.

There was a knock on the door.

Youyou turned his head and saw Yang Mei opening the door and walking in with a plate of food.

When the guards in the room saw her coming, they immediately stood up and saluted, then tactfully closed the door and left, leaving the space for the mother and son.

Youyou couldn't help but look behind his mother. When he didn't see his father, he got a little angry again. He snorted and turned his head away, burying his head in the sofa.

Seeing this, Yang Mei picked up one of the foods, mobilized all her emotions, and said lightly: "Youyou, try this, this is the evolved pumpkin grown by the lord of the planting area himself, it's sweet and delicious!"

The child turned his head and glanced away, showing no interest.

The air seemed to be filled with awkwardness. Yang Mei put down the pumpkin soup angrily and talked about her job transfer.

When Youyou heard that they were going to an island, he became interested.

But the next second, when he heard that his parents would work in the same place in the future, Youyou suddenly exploded, pounded the sofa and shouted, "I don't want to go!"

This roar didn't seem to be just to express dissatisfaction. He suddenly burst into tears and choked while crying:
"Zhao Xiaoxiu will definitely ignore me again, wuwuwu. I don't have any friends anymore."

Yang Mei's eyes were red. She and Pei Yankai were truly the worst parents.
