I Raise Beastmen in a Wasteland World

The world is a wasteland (a rebuilt world after an apocalyptic event caused by insurmountable forces like machinery, plague, and disaster). Many settings are original, with the background world bei...

Chapter 8 The Well

On the day of the yellow sandstorm, trapped in the territory and unable to leave, the howling outside made those inside the territory tremble with fear, but fortunately, this time the yellow sandstorm only looked fierce and was not actually that scary.

The people inside have experienced many sandstorms and are quite experienced.

The three slave leaders, Ox-Head, Horse-Face, and Deer Antlers, were very impressive.

"Hey kid, can you move something this heavy? Let the chief slave help you!"

The bull was very pleased with itself, and strode over and carried the things away in one go.

"You, a mere cat-orc, are no match for the strength of us minotaurs! If you can't move it, remember to call me anytime! Don't break anything! If you do, you won't get any dinner tonight!"

The minotaur said viciously!

The child showed no fear whatsoever despite being scolded.

"I can do it! I'll be five years older and still have great strength!"

"At least I'll be stronger than a pure-blooded human by then!" The eight-year-old child was unwilling to admit that he was weak. In the wasteland, weakness meant being bullied!

Qin Yiyi happened to walk over and heard the minotaur agree with the child's words.

"Exactly! Pure-blooded humans are such trash. They eat so much but do so little, and they're always getting fevers and colds and they can die in no time... Ugh!"

The minotaur turned his head and saw Qin Yiyi holding a black breadstick.

He felt wronged.

Why did you hit me again!

Did he say something wrong again?

Qin Yiyi wanted to teach the mute minotaur a lesson, but Sid quickly interrupted.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry. Getting angry is bad for your health!"

Sigh~

Qin Yiyi was furious. She had only been in the wasteland for a few days, and she was already being looked down upon in every way!

hateful!

This small village is very small, about the size of a middle school, only a few thousand square meters.

The place is sparsely populated with about a hundred people, making it seem quite spacious.

"Clean up the small hotel first!"

The small two-story hotel had only had one floor cleaned up before. Now, with more people working together, they managed to clean up the hotel to the point that it was barely habitable. The first floor has a shared bathroom, and the second floor has private rooms, but there aren't many of them.

There were some new bedding in the small hotel's storage room, so she gave two sets to Flamingo, and then put away the rest of the bedding.

"My lord, we have discovered a well!"

Qin Yiyi's eyes widened. Water was very rare in the wasteland world. The water in her territory was brought back from a distant lake, and in the past few days of yellow sand, it was barely enough for daily use.

The water pipes, which should have been working properly, were not producing any water at all; instead, they had a rusty smell.

"Where is it! Take me to see it!"

Qin Yiyi went closer and saw that it was indeed a dry well, but there was moss around it. She touched the edge and found it to be dry, but the inside seemed to be a little damp.

"Let me take a look!" The flamingo's older brother came over. He had eaten food that boosted his health and was feeling much better.

The flamingo said, "My brother is a whale beastman. You can contact him if you need anything related to water!"

Sure enough, the flamingo's brother transformed into a beast, black and white stripes appearing on his forehead. Then, he leaped into the sea like a whale about to fall into the ocean.

"Oh dear, there's no water inside!"

Don't jump in and die!

Just as Qin Yiyi was about to offer a reminder, she noticed that the black and white whale had vanished, replaced by gurgling splashes of water.

"There's water in the territory!"

I don't know who shouted it.

Soon the water overflowed to the wellhead.

A black and white whale emerged from the well and transformed into human form.

Qin Yiyi suddenly realized that the boy had completely transformed into his beast form!

She, a pure-blooded human, was extremely envious!

After the black and white whale transformed into human form, its clothes weren't even wet. It said to Qin Yiyi, "This well should lead directly to the lake!"

"oh?"

Wouldn't that mean there's a hidden paradise below, with a continuous water supply?

That's a good thing!

People have always developed near water. Now that they have water, they are not afraid of water shortages during future sandstorms. Besides, it is not safe for the elderly, weak, sick and young in their territory to go out and transport water.

Before the water arrives, the people will perish!

"Excellent! The lord is very pleased today. You have all worked very hard, and the lord has decided to reward you!"

"Everyone in the territory was originally entitled to one ounce of low-pollution rice tonight, but today everyone can receive two ounces! The person who promptly reported the discovery of the wellhead will receive three ounces of rice!"

Everyone fell silent. Qin Yiyi was furious. Why wasn't anyone cheering for her wise decision as the lord?

Do you have any further questions?

An eleven-year-old child swallowed hard.

"We...we really can get this much rice?" Two ounces of rice! Before, his father went to get work in a chaotic place. He was promised two ounces of rice a day, but he only received one or two ounces. One or two ounces for the whole family of four! And his father thought that was pretty good! Usually, the foreman would deduct half of the wages for workers!

Foremen who only withhold half of the grain are truly conscientious foremen!

But they were just slaves! Can slaves eat only one or two grains of rice a day? They thought it was just one meal for the whole family, but it turns out it was one meal for each person!

And they're going to raise the price to two ounces per meter!

Qin Yiyi snorted coldly, clearly dissatisfied.

Are you questioning the lord's decision?

The elderly grandmother next to them quickly pulled her grandson away.

"The children are just kids and don't know any better. They're so surprised that the lord is so kind!" These aren't slaves at all; they're practically the same as the people in the numbered base!

The others nodded in agreement.

"We will certainly do our job well, my lord!"

"That's right, I'll get up at six o'clock tomorrow to work for the lord!"

"Then I'll go at five o'clock tomorrow!"

Qin Yiyi frowned: "Let's not create internal competition, okay? We need a healthy work system!"

She felt that ten hours was inhumane, and these people had to roll up their own sleeves! The key issue is that if any problems arise outside of working hours, wouldn't they have to come to her for help? Wouldn't that be her doing overtime in disguise?

Are you trying to drag her into this mess?

Don't mess around! What a disgusting bunch of slaves!

She turned and ordered Sid to use the machine to grind another thirty catties of rice, which meant that almost half of the hundred catties of rice had been used up! There were still two days left in the yellow sandstorm, which was barely enough.

She looked at the black and white whale.

"You deserve the most credit for this well today. Don't worry, the lord will remember it!"

Qin Yiyi patted the black and white whale on the shoulder.

The black and white whale is humble.

"We are already lucky that the lord has taken us in with a meal. It is our duty to serve the lord!"

Although I don't know why the culinary master became the lord of a wretched place.

However, both the black and white whales and the flamingos maintained the utmost goodwill.

They're determined to hand over this lord!
