Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 264 Such a Big Dad

"It's cold, so cold. Dad, I'm so cold."

On the gray beach, the wet little girl curled up into a ball with her eyes closed. She seemed to be in a nightmare, mumbling something and shivering.

A black tentacle with a hint of blood-red emerged from the sand and approached the girl little by little. Just as it was about to raise the tentacle to touch the shivering little creature, a brown monkey shadow suddenly rose from the reef and found the cub lying on the beach. It rushed over shouting, "Roar!"

The sneaky tentacle retracted with a "whoosh" and hid carefully under the sand. The gray sand and the black skin of the tentacle merged into one. Sister Monkey was unaware of it and stepped right over it with her big foot.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Sister Monkey anxiously picked up the wet little girl and shook her by her thin shoulders.

Zhao Xiaoxiu's head was already dizzy, and this made her even more dizzy.

But thanks to Sister Monkey's help, I finally woke up from the nightmare.

"Sister Monkey, stop shaking. I'm going to vomit." A weak voice came out of Zhao Xiaoxiu's mouth, and she immediately felt a burning sensation in her throat.

I drank too much sea water and my throat became hoarse from the saltiness.

When the monkey sister saw her wake up, she howled with joy and hugged her in her arms, with her face pressed against hers. Her wet fur covered with sand and dirt rubbed all over Zhao Xiaoxiu's face.

The little face, which had been washed pale by the sea water, instantly became rosy and shiny.

Zhao Xiaoxiu coughed twice, reached down his throat, and pulled out two disgusting black and purple mutated seaweeds.

Sister Monkey immediately threw her away in disgust and stepped back five meters.

Zhao Xiaoxiu: “.”

After relaxing for a while, Zhao Xiaoxiu looked up at the environment around him. It was another gray sandy beach.

Judging from the direction and height of the setting sun, it should be around five in the evening. She and Sister Monkey returned to the fishing village near the Arknights base.

The memories before she fell into a coma came back to her and Zhao Xiaoxiu remembered that she saw a huge black tentacle and a fierce whirlpool on the sea.

Then he seemed to faint?
No, she didn't feel dizzy that quickly. Her eyes went dark and then she felt something slippery and soft wrapping around her.

It's like daddy's tentacles!
"Dad!" Zhao Xiaoxiu suddenly shouted on the beach.

Sister Monkey was caught off guard and jumped up in fright. She looked around but did not see Zhao Gang. Her eyes instantly became sympathetic.

Poor little cub, he's missing his dad so much that he's hallucinating.

"father!"

Zhao Xiaoxiu shouted again. She was very sure that it was definitely not an illusion. She really saw her father.

Although He doesn't look like Zhao Gang, He is definitely his father.

Zhao Xiaoxiu ran on the beach, looking around with eyes wide open, "Dad, where are you? Are you hiding? I saw you just now!"

The tentacle that was curled up in the sand and had just been stepped on by Sister Monkey suddenly froze and dared not move.

In other parts of the beach, tentacles uncontrollably penetrated the sand and gathered towards the cub.

But before they could get close, they were pushed back by another black and red tentacle.

It'll scare the cubs!

"Dad, why are you hiding from Xiaoxiu? Didn't you ask Xiaoxiu to come find you? Xiaoxiu misses dad so much, dad, can you please come out?"

Oh no, oh no, the cub’s voice is crying, is she going to cry?

The tentacles looked at each other under the sand, but none of them was her father Zhao Gang. What should she do?

The black and red tentacle that was hidden the deepest was found by the other tentacles. They pulled it hard, asking it to quickly become a father to its cubs!

As soon as the black and red tentacles shook their bodies, all the other tentacles dared not move. They all abandoned their own self-consciousness and connected with the black and red tentacles to form the same consciousness.

For fear of scaring the tiny cubs, the black and red tentacle drove away the other tentacles, made full mental preparations, mustered up the courage, and poked out a little bit of its tentacle tip from the sand.

Just a little tip was exposed, like a mountain. Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was looking for her father's trace on the beach, suddenly turned around as if sensing something, and her head hit a soft mountain.

The little guy cried out "Ouch!", covered his head and looked up, and was immediately stunned by what he saw.

A thirty-meter-high, bamboo-shoot-like mountain stood quietly in front of her.

Because the opponent was so huge, she looked like an ant, just a tiny dot.

Zhao Xiaoxiu slowly put down the little hands that were covering her head and reached out to the mountain in front of her. What she touched was the familiar touch and temperature that she missed so much.

The big thing that looks like it can destroy the world is actually soft and warm.

"Dad!" Zhao Xiaoxiu shouted in surprise, crying and laughing, with two lines of tears flowing from the corners of her red eyes. The little guy quickly sniffed, raised the back of his hand to wipe his tears and said embarrassedly:
"Dad, how did you get so big?"

She opened her arms and tried to hug him, but she couldn't.

Sister Monkey, who was chasing after Zhao Xiaoxiu, was stunned. This was not the Gangzi she knew!
The cub wouldn’t have recognized the wrong father, right?
The other party seemed to be able to hear its thoughts, and another black and red tentacle emerged from the sand and knocked it down.

The sturdy monkey sister had no ability to resist such a huge monster and rolled on the ground several times before stopping.

It got up in horror, looked at the ferocious tentacles behind it, then looked at the hill-like body of tentacles in front of it. It just wanted to roll its eyes and faint.

This is too scary!

[Kosode, are you scared? ]

Zhao Xiaoxiu heard a very careful question in his mind. That tone was not Zhao Gang's voice at all, but his own voice.

Zhao Xiaoxiu shook her head, "I'm not afraid, because he's my dad."

It's so tiring just to talk with my neck tilted up like this.

Unexpectedly, just as Zhao Xiaoxiu was thinking this, the tentacles in front of him immediately changed to lying horizontally. Although it was still huge for a four-year-old human cub, the vision was much more comfortable.

Zhao Xiaoxiu wanted to get closer to her father, but also wanted to stand farther away so that she could see her father more clearly.

Just as she was struggling, the tip of the tentacle came over and with a light push, threw her onto the tentacle.

Zhao Xiaoxiu felt like she was riding on a giant dragon and suddenly flew up. The mountains and the sea were at her feet. Looking up, she could see a busy town in the distance.

The little girl screamed with excitement, but soon began to worry: how could she hide such a big father?
Before she could think of a solution, her stomach suddenly growled in protest.

【Are you hungry? 】

Zhao Xiaoxiu nodded, "I want to eat the food my dad cooks."

After saying this, Zhao Xiaoxiu laughed first, and it was a bitter laugh, because she knew that the tentacle under her could not pick up a spatula or a kitchen knife.

But dad always finds a way to satisfy his cubs' demands. Even if they can't provide exquisite side dishes, he will always have plenty of fresh seafood sashimi.

At night, by the burning fire.

Zhao Xiaoxiu leaned on her father's huge tentacles, holding a mutant sea fish that was twice as big as her in her arms. She cut a piece of it with a small knife and stuffed it into her mouth. The fish meat was delicious and sweet, and her short legs kept shaking with satisfaction.

At her feet, there were piles of various other plump and mutated sea fish, crabs, and shrimps, so many that she couldn't finish eating even a hundred of them.

"dad?"

【Um】

"dad."

【exist】

"It's great to see dad, hehe~"

"Dad, let's be together forever and never separate again, okay?"

[.Okay, Dad will find a solution. ]

After getting the promise it wanted, the cub leaned on the soft black and red tentacles and fell asleep peacefully.
