Wasteland Farming, Manual for Raising Human Cubs

Chapter 54 Sparrow, where to escape!
The mountains and forests have been dyed with the colors of autumn.

The sweetness of ripe wild fruits also drifts into my nose with the wind.

Zhao Xiaoxiu took a deep breath of the fragrance in the air and swallowed secretly.

If she had never eaten anything other than nutrient solution, the aroma would not have been so tempting to her.

But unfortunately, she started eating meat.

If the evolved potatoes and sweet potatoes at home had not been used for seeds, they would have been cooked and eaten by her long ago.

Smelling the fragrance, Zhao Xiaoxiu's legs moved forward uncontrollably.

The isolation zone had been swept once, the grass was not very tall, the trees were sparse, and the light in the forest was very good.

Zhao Xiaoxiu trotted along the scent and found a mutant golden autumn pear tree with a straight trunk and sparse crown.

The straight trunk is nearly twenty meters high. Ripe golden fruits hang on the sparse branches at the top, and a group of low-level mutant sparrows are pecking at them.

Noticing the arrival of two humans under the tree, the group of mutant sparrows all looked over, their light red eyes flashing with a fierce look of protection.

This is the border between the isolation zone and the deep forest. Because it is prone to danger, the first round of cleaning patrols missed this sweet golden autumn pear.

Of course, the more likely possibility is that this Golden Autumn Pear has a high degree of mutation and the fruit is inedible.

However, there was a voice in Zhao Xiaoxiu's heart tempting her, saying that this was edible and she could eat it.

But, she can't climb trees!
The mutant sparrow on the tree saw the two humans just standing there motionless, so it continued to peck at them.

The sharp bird's beak easily breaks the skin of the golden autumn pear, revealing the sweet golden flesh inside, which is filled with fragrance.

Zhao Xiaoxiu felt very uncomfortable and could only stand under the tree and stare at it.

At this moment, she even hoped that she could evolve a long tentacle so that she could pick the pear directly.

Old father Zhao Gang not only did not feel sorry for the pitiful and frustrated little boy, but he also thought that this was a good opportunity to make the cub stronger.

So, he picked up stones on the ground and threw them at the flock of sparrows on the top of the tree canopy!
A single stone can cause a thousand ripples. The group of mutant sparrows was successfully enraged and immediately changed their target, swooping down towards the two humans under the tree.

"Dad?!" Zhao Xiaoxiu looked back at Zhao Gang in horror. Was it so sudden?
Zhao Gang was neither anxious nor panicked. He took a few steps back and reminded:

"Use your eyes to carefully observe the differences between them. As long as you kill these mutant sparrows, Dad will pick pears for you to eat."

After saying that, he emphasized again: "Golden Autumn Pears are very sweet."

"That's for sure!" Zhao Xiaoxiu snorted unhappily. Just smelling it, you can already feel its sweetness, okay?

But the flock of mutant sparrows had already flown overhead, leaving her no time to complain about her real father.

Zhao Xiaoxiu ran with her head in her hands, ran around the tree, and dived into the grass, but was pecked on the butt by a bird. She ran out crying.

Looking up, Zhao Xiaoxiu almost cried when she saw the man standing under the pear tree picking pears and eating them with great excitement.

Fortunately, the self-healing ability took effect in time, and the pain on the buttocks disappeared in a few seconds. Zhao Xiaoxiu felt a little comforted.

Seeing the flock of sparrows coming again, the little man clenched his fists and made up his mind. He rolled on the spot, threw away his backpack and hatchet, picked up a handful of gravel with both hands and threw it into the air.

She smashed the place randomly and hit several times. With her strong force, an unfortunate mutant sparrow was hit in the eye and rushed towards Zhao Xiaoxiu angrily.

Zhao Xiaoxiu would not miss this great opportunity that came right to her doorstep.

Without dodging or evading, she just stared at the sparrow. The flapping of its wings began to slow down in front of her eyes, and she could even see the graceful arc of the flapping.

The little hand suddenly grabbed in front of her eyes, and she heard a scream, and the angry sparrow was pinched in her palm!

Without much effort, Zhao Xiaoxiu lightly pinched the sparrow's neck, which was not as thick as her finger, and it broke. Most birds have no emotional response. They don't react when their own kind die, let alone fear. They continue to attack Zhao Xiaoxiu.

Those sharp claws and mouth really hurt when they scratch your body.

Zhao Xiaoxiu started running again.

After running for a while, she realized that hiding was no use. The group of sparrows chased her relentlessly, especially the ones that had pecked her. They were extremely excited after tasting her flesh and blood.

We have to find a way to get rid of them!
Zhao Xiaoxiu recalled the "glance" that she had just suddenly seen.

She rushed out, leaving some distance behind, then turned back and focused all her attention on the mutant sparrow closest to her, taking a closer look.

Here it comes, the trajectory of the flapping wings is seen again, and the mutant sparrow seems to have become very slow.

But in less than a moment, Zhao Xiaoxiu cried out in pain.

The sparrow pecked her head!

If she hadn't reacted quickly, he would have pecked into her crown!
Fortunately, it was just a minor scrape.

Zhao Xiaoxiu turned around and continued to run. She found that she was running faster than the sparrows. With the help of other obstacles in the forest, she was able to distance herself from the group of mutant sparrows.

A tree hole appeared in front of him. Zhao Xiaoxiu slipped in without thinking and grabbed a handful of gravel.

Two sparrows were chasing her so fast that one of them got its beak stuck in the tree trunk and couldn't be pulled out.

With new hatred and old grudges added to them, Zhao Xiaoxiu picked up a big stone and sent them to the west with two bangs.

Seeing this, the later flock of sparrows rushed forward even more ferociously.

As a result, Zhao Xiaoxiu crawled into the tree hole and threw the gravel in his hand out like bullets. The mutant sparrows in the front had their eyelids drooped and fell to the ground dead.

If you look closely, you can see bloody holes on their chests or heads caused by stones, and the impact is very accurate, killing them with one blow.

There were only about twenty sparrows in the flock, and half of them died in an instant.

Zhao Xiaoxiu felt that I had the advantage, so I squatted in a tree hole and used them to practice my aim.

Her eyes became as sharp as an eagle's. She could not only see the flight paths of sparrows, but also some green spots of light.

But now she didn't know what the green light meant.

A sparrow flew into the hole, and she grabbed it with amazing speed and smashed it to death against the wall of the tree hole.

After a while, a layer of sparrow corpses was piled in front of the tree hole.

There were still two or three left. After failing to attack the target for a long time, they simply gave up, flapped their wings, turned around and prepared to leave.

Zhao Xiaoxiu refused to give in, and immediately climbed out of the tree hole, shouting, "Hey! Sparrow, where are you escaping to!"

Grab three stones with both hands, swing your arms, and fire at high speed!
"Puff, puff, puff!" Three sounds, all hit.

Three sparrows fell down with screams. Zhao Xiaoxiu rushed forward with a big stone in his hand, and hit them a few times. He did not forget to finish them off, which showed how much he hated being pecked.

The little girl hummed and threw away the big stone stained with feathers and blood. She clapped her hands, straightened her shirt which was almost like a beggar's outfit, and pulled up her pants.

Hmm? Your butt is a little cold?
With a mess of hair on his head, he turned around to look at his butt and saw a big hole in his pants.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was shocked: "!!!"
