Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 32 Wild Boy
The father and daughter walked from morning to noon.

Finally, on the outskirts of a small town at the intersection of the highway, we saw a military supply station with a base logo.

The father and daughter walked forward with great interest, thinking they could see other humans.

Unexpectedly, the door of the supply station was closed and the remaining soldiers had already left with the main force.

There were many cars parked near the supply station, all of which had run out of gas and could not continue driving.

Zhao Xiaoxiu clung to the heavy metal door, feeling indescribably lost.

Zhao Gang said: "The fuel tanks in the supply station are empty."

To be more precise, without the support of Base Hope, the supplies in the supply stations along the way would have been absorbed by the migrating army.

Zhao Gang controlled the Bloodtouch to drill into the narrow gap under the metal door, searched the supply station, took out a map, and held it in front of Zhao Xiaoxiu.

"Xiaoxiu, look, we have a map." Zhao Gang looked at his cub expectantly, waiting for a praise.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was delighted and immediately swept away the broken leaves on the specially treated flat ground outside the supply station, spread the map on the ground and began to look at it carefully.

Zhao Gang squatted in front of her curiously and asked, "Xiaoxiu can read maps?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu: "Probably, maybe. I can understand it."

Fortunately, she was by her father's side, otherwise the fact that Zhao Xiaoxiu did not drink all the Mengpo soup would have been exposed.

This map clearly marks the locations of the five major bases in Area C, as well as the supply stations along the way between the five bases.

The map was drawn in February of last year and should be a brand new supply site map drawn after the five major bases formed an alliance.

On the map, Area C is like a heart, with four major bases in the east, west, south and north, guarding the Taoyuan base in the middle.

Among them, the Southern Arknights Base is built on an independent island, and the only way in and out is by air.

The Arknights base is marked on the map with a special red star. It is the core of the alliance of the five major bases, the hope of all mankind, and the headquarters of the biotechnology company.

Zhao Xiaoxiu glanced at the red star, then looked at Zhao Gang who was expecting her praise.

A voice in her heart told her that her living father might come from this island.

But Zhao Xiaoxiu finally just pointed to the location of Taoyuan Base and said happily: "After passing three more supply stations, we will be able to enter the range of Taoyuan Base."

"Dad is so awesome. Thanks to the map you found, now we know how to get to the Taoyuan base." Zhao Xiaoxiu added.

Zhao Gang got what he wanted and laughed out loud.

The supply station was built with specially formulated materials, and the ground around the entire station is smooth and hard, making it impossible for mutant plants to take root here.

Zhao Gang cleared a piece of land, and the father and daughter rested here for a whole afternoon. After regaining their strength, they continued their journey.

With a map in hand, you feel confident.

Following the instructions on the map, you should be able to reach the next supply stop in the evening.

Zhao Gang did not carry Zhao Xiaoxiu on his back the whole way, intending to train her physical fitness.

If Zhao Xiaoxiu felt tired, the father and daughter would stop by the roadside to rest for a while before continuing on their way.

Zhao Gang was not in any hurry to go to Taoyuan Base.

Rather than walking in a base full of people, he prefers walking alone in the wild mountains with his cubs.

There was no third person in the mountain except him and the cub.

He can be free to be himself without any hiding or restraint.

The pups can also have more fun.

Play?
Zhao Xiaoxiu's legs felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead. He read the verb "play" in his father's eyes and almost lost control of his limbs and sat down on the ground.

Of course, under the strict monitoring of the tentacles, such a rotten move failed. A blood-red flesh tentacle was wrapped around her waist, and Zhao Xiaoxiu grabbed the tentacle with both hands, dragging it along in a horizontal position.

Soon, two long tracks were left on the road covered with fallen leaves.

Relying on the lazy tentacles method, Zhao Xiaoxiu successfully completed today's physical training.

Zhao Gang completely turned a blind eye to the matter. After all, his cub was only three years old, and it was already quite good that he could walk such a long distance.

Before it got completely dark, the father and daughter climbed over the wall into the supply station and successfully settled down.

After walking too hard during the day and eating the last bunch of tomatoes that had already gone a little stale and a bottle of nutrient solution, Zhao Xiaoxiu lay on her backpack and quickly fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Xiaoxiu was awakened by the sound of a passing car engine.

Soon, lights shone into the supply station, and a large group of people stopped in front of the supply station.

Perhaps they didn't expect the supply station to be deserted, and curses of disappointment rose and fell.

The high and thick wall blocked those people's attempts to enter the supply station.

They set up tents and stoves in the open space outside the supply station, obviously intending to spend the night there.

"Survivors of the shantytowns?" Zhao Xiaoxiu murmured to herself.

Zhao Gang didn't answer her, but patted her back gently, "Go to sleep, go to sleep."

Zhao Xiaoxiu nodded. She understood what he meant. These people outside were not enough to pose a threat to them.

So I closed my eyes and continued to sleep.

At daybreak, the survivors of the shantytowns who were camping outside the supply station watched two figures, one large and one small, slide down the 20-meter-high wall swiftly. They were so shocked that they forgot to react.

It wasn't until the father and daughter put away the rope and walked away with their backpacks that they came to their senses.

"Hey!"

Someone took a sip.

Neither the father nor the daughter looked back and strode forward.

At noon, the group of people riding various types of motorcycles and a few dilapidated old scooters caught up with the father and daughter.

There were more than a hundred of them, men and women, all young and middle-aged people between 20 and 40.

There was booming disco music playing in the car, and the people were dressed very punk and had wild hairstyles.

Three motorcycles loaded with metal meteor hammers stopped in front of the father and daughter, blocking their way.

Zhao Xiaoxiu's heart tightened. Was he going to rob them?
She guessed correctly.

Four or five "wild boys" excitedly jumped out of the car holding all kinds of homemade pipes and tools, and walked around the father and daughter, looking at them and baring their dirty yellow teeth with a fishy mouth, which was disgusting.

"This fair and tender little girl, is she your daughter, buddy?"

A green-haired man squatted in front of Zhao Xiaoxiu and raised his eyebrows at Zhao Gang provocatively.

Without waiting for Zhao Gang's response, he reached out his hand, wanting to pinch that little face and feel what it felt like.

Seeing the dirty hand with black mud between the nails about to touch her, Zhao Xiaoxiu frowned in disgust, raised the small wooden stick her father had found for her as a cane, and hit the hand with a "bang".

Maybe he didn't expect that such a big baby could be so fierce.

The green-haired man didn't react immediately and was hit hard on the arm with the stick, which immediately became red and swollen.

A burning stinging sensation came from his arm, and the green-haired man quickly retracted his hand, stepping back in shock.

He looked down at Zhao Xiaoxiu, who had a calm expression in front of him, in disbelief.

How can a little baby be so strong!
