Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 48: Lords of Area B
Zhao Gang, a sturdy man with connections, jumped into the car, stepped over a pile of tattered luggage with his long legs, and came to his cub.

He put down what he was holding, picked up the cub and sat down.

With a glance, a fierce look was revealed, and no one dared to touch the position between the father and daughter anymore.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the truck was full.

The guard in charge of driving was a soldier from Hope Base. He told everyone to sit tight and started the truck.

The car drove out of the hardened road of Taoyuan Base and turned onto the newly opened loess road.

Zhao Xiaoxiu and Zhao Gang had walked this road once before with the hunting team. Only two days had passed and the road had been widened and repaired again.

If there is no hardening treatment, the mutant plants will need to be repaired at least once a day at the growth rate.

There were two soldiers on the passenger seat of the truck, one sitting inside and the other standing on the steps outside the door with one hand holding the door, mainly responsible for guarding.

Someone looked at the bumpy yellow mud road and asked worriedly: "Is this road only for going out and not for returning?"

The soldier waved away the new blades of grass that had grown on the road and replied, "Once the clearing area is cleared and all the lords have moved in, the base will harden the road surface."

"Winter is coming soon, and the plants will enter a period of stagnant growth. As long as you don't leave the safe area of ​​the territory, you will generally be fine." The guard saw the distrust and suspicion of the crowd and added.

Everyone on the truck breathed a sigh of relief.

Someone asked again: "After we get to the territory, how do we report any situation to the patrol team?"

The guard said: "If you have a phone, you can call or use an intercom. The patrol team patrols 24 hours a day. There will always be someone there. If you hear any situation, just shout and the patrol team will be there immediately."

That being said, a territory is as large as two to three hundred acres. Can the patrol team really hear someone just shouting?

Thinking of all the unknowns that were about to be faced, the lords, who had just been happy to receive the subsidized grain, gradually became depressed.

On the other hand, Zhao Gang and his daughter were reading a story to their daughter in the car to pass the time, looking as leisurely as if they were going on a picnic in the wild.

The father and daughter were talking and laughing, asking and answering questions, and their good attitudes made people have to deepen their speculation that they were relatives and were protected by someone above them.

"Hey!" The person next to them raised his hand and smiled at the father and daughter, saying hello.

The father and daughter looked up and saw a cheerful boy who looked to be in his early twenties. His immature eyes showed an optimistic and silly look.

Seeing the father and daughter looking at him, he hurriedly introduced himself, "My name is Haoran, the lord of Territory No. 11 in Area B, what about you?"

Zhao Gang stared at him for two seconds, which made the young man feel creepy. He thought he was going to lose his temper, so he suddenly said:

"Zhao Gang, my daughter Zhao Xiaoxiu, No. 13, Area B, what can I do for you?"

"You are also from District B!" Hao Ran clapped his hands excitedly, "We are from the same district, so please take care of each other in the future?"

Everyone in the car was attracted by his loud voice.

A sturdy man with yellow teeth rolled his eyes and sneered, reminding:

"We're all headed to Area B. Boy, don't just ask them to look after each other. I can look after you, too."

As he spoke, he reached out to Hao Ran and quickly pinched his arm that was exposed outside his short-sleeved T-shirt. "Look at your thin flesh. I can tell you've never suffered, have you?"

Haoran felt that this person made him uncomfortable, but the other person's attitude was quite good, and he didn't want to give him the cold shoulder, so he nodded awkwardly.

Seeing that everyone else was looking over, Hao Ran suddenly had an idea and suggested:

"Since we are all from the same district, how about we all give each other a call if we have any problems in the future and help each other if we can? How about that?"

There were seventeen other people in the car, six women and eleven men.

Most people agreed. After all, it wouldn't hurt to agree to it and leave a good impression on everyone.

There was only one young girl with a ponytail, holding a shotgun, sitting alone in the rear corner of the car, with a mocking curl of her lips, and no one agreed. Everyone else didn't care, and after the atmosphere was broken, they began to have a lively conversation.

The burly man with yellow teeth just introduced himself as Zhang Lijun, 35 years old, and had just been discharged from the army before the disaster struck.

From the moment everyone introduced themselves to each other in the car, he showed an attitude of a righteous big brother, in control of the overall situation.

Now that everyone else had introduced themselves, Zhang Lijun turned his attention to Zhao Gang and his daughter, and smilingly asked them to talk about what they did.

After a few rounds of introductions, everyone on the bus revealed a little about their abilities.

Some people can repair cars and use large equipment.

Some people understand Chinese medicine. Although plants have mutated now, techniques such as bandaging and bone setting are sufficient for daily use.

Some people even claimed that they were evolved humans, but their specific abilities were not revealed.

Zhang Lijun is a common power-type evolutionary person. However, he has a military background and his strength is indeed outstanding.

There was a man and a woman in the car who were his friends, and the three of them came together as a team.

Of course, Zhang Lijun and the other two did not tell anyone this.

The reason why Zhao Xiaoxiu knew this was because Zhao Gang told her in a low voice.

His sensory organs are different from those of humans. They are very developed and can detect even what the insects in the field are doing. Moreover, the private flirting between Zhang Lijun and the other two could not escape Zhao Gang's eyes.

Under the inquiring gazes of Zhang Lijun and others, Zhao Gang raised his right hand, and the tip of his little finger turned into a bloody streak.

"Brother Zhao, what is your evolutionary direction?"

Hao Ran looked in amazement at the tentacles in Zhao Gang's hands that stretched and shortened like little snakes, and felt that he still had too little experience.

I have never seen such an evolved person before.

Zhao Gang played dumb: "I don't know what direction it is. It's like this after I took the evolution potion."

Zhang Lijun secretly exchanged glances with his two companions and marked Zhao Gang in the queue of people who were not easy to mess with.

Led by Zhang Lijun, everyone looked at the girl with ponytail who had been silent all the way at the rear of the car.

"Little girl, everyone has been introduced, and you are the only one left."

The female Chinese medicine practitioner sitting next to the girl with the ponytail also said with concern: "Everyone on this bus is your elder sister and elder brother. If you have any difficulties, please tell us and we will definitely help you."

As he spoke, he raised his head and glanced around the car exaggeratedly, and asked in surprise: "You are so young, why didn't you come out with your family?"

The ponytail girl glanced at her coldly. The female Chinese medicine practitioner twitched her lips awkwardly and complained in a low voice: "My kindness is being taken for granted."

"Dongfang Ling, 12 years old, Territory No. ."

The girl with the ponytail spoke briefly, then turned away and remained silent.

Zhang Lijun: "Okay, okay, now everyone understands. We'll all be neighbors from now on. You brothers and sisters, please take care of the children!"

Everyone nodded and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Zhang Lijun sat down, quietly squeezed Hao Ran's arm, and whispered in his ear:
"You are the second youngest among us. If you have any problems, come to me. I will definitely not let anything happen to you with me here."

Hao Ran forced a smile, moved his arm away, turned to Zhao Xiaoxiu, and pretended to tease the child to hide the strange feeling in his heart.

"How old are you, Xiaoxiu? Do you like small animals? Do you want some candy? If you call me brother, I will give you candy~"

Zhao Xiaoxiu: “.”
