Transmigrating into a post-apocalyptic world with mutated creatures, Zhao Xiaoxiu thought she was already unlucky enough.
She never expected that after waking up, her unreliable father would ...
Without the cover of the mutated plants, the mutated animals hidden inside sprang out and attacked the humans in a frenzy.
But under overwhelming numbers and firepower, the mutated animals that escaped all became prey.
During this period, apart from a B-grade mutated lizard causing a little panic among everyone, everything went incredibly smoothly.
In less than two hours, the 300-acre area in front of us was successfully cleaned up.
To prevent these rapidly growing mutant plants from making a comeback, the group sprayed special pesticides on the cleared wasteland.
When everyone finished what they were doing, they went to find a shady spot to rest.
The people at Taoyuan Base did not rest.
Led by their team leader, they used instruments to measure the land, divide it into zones, and erect boundary markers.
The sign reads, "Plot No. 13".
Because of Zhao Gang's demonstrated strength, all members of Qinghe Hunting are now showing the utmost goodwill towards Zhao Xiaoxiu, this "burden".
Every now and then, someone would come and feed her a few edible wild fruits or some kind of slightly mutated grass root with a sweet taste.
Zhao Xiaoxiu put the grass root in her mouth and sucked on it. She found it sweet, so she picked out the thickest one and put it to Zhao Gang's mouth.
Sweetness is the only flavor that Zhao Xiaoxiu has found that her father can accept.
Zhao Gang frowned slightly, not understanding why humans liked to eat grass.
But seeing the cub's expectant, blinking eyes, he couldn't bear to disappoint her, so he reluctantly put the grass root in his mouth.
"Chew, chew, chew." Zhao Xiaoxiu personally puffed out her cheeks to demonstrate, pointing her little finger at Zhao Gang, signaling him to move as well.
Zhao Gang sighed helplessly, chewed for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up.
The father and daughter exchanged a glance and discovered something new.
Grandma Yin walked over carrying her rocket launcher, placed it in front of Zhao Xiaoxiu, and raised an eyebrow at her, "Little girl, want to play with a rocket launcher?"
Zhao Xiaoxiu's eyes widened. "This is playable?"
Grandma Yin smiled, half-squatted down, picked up the more than one-meter-long rocket launcher, demonstrated it first, and then put it down, urging Zhao Xiaoxiu to come and play with it.
Zhao Xiaoxiu glanced at her living father first, but didn't react.
She immediately stood up, spat out the tasteless grass roots in her mouth, controlled her excitement, and went to Grandma Yin. Under Grandma Yin's encouraging gaze, she reached out and touched the rocket launcher in front of her, gradually relaxing her grip.
"This is the switch." Granny Yin grabbed Zhao Xiaoxiu's small hand and placed it on the switch, then showed her how to aim and fire.
Unlike before the disaster, people now usually remove the safety catches on weapons for convenience.
The rocket launcher in Granny Silver's hand was even more ferocious and direct. She would place the cannon, aim, and press the switch to fire it directly.
Whether it was intentional on Grandma Yin's part or unintentional on Zhao Xiaoxiu's part, with a "poof" sound, a cannon shot out.
The powerful recoil caused Zhao Xiaoxiu and Granny Yin to fall to the ground with a thud.
Caught off guard and resting, the group suddenly heard a loud "BOOM!" Their expressions changed instantly, they jumped up on the spot, raised their weapons, and looked in horror toward the source of the sound.
Then I saw a hill not far away explode.
The thick smoke, composed of gunpowder, gravel, and loess, took more than ten seconds to dissipate.
"What are you doing!" Someone noticed Granny Yin sitting down next to the rocket launcher and asked her loudly and irritably.
Grandma Yin laughed heartily and scoffed confidently, "Taking a girl to set off firecrackers? Are you blind?!"
Only then did everyone notice that there was a little girl in Granny Yin's arms, who looked to be about three years old.
Faced with such a scene, the little girl neither cried nor panicked, but remained calm.
How should I describe it?
Compared to Gin-lao's outward madness, she has a kind of calm madness.
Everyone stared into those calm, round dog eyes and fell silent for a moment.
The leader of the Taoyuan base called out to Granny Yin, telling her to tone it down.
Grandma Yin replied dismissively, "It's nothing, it's nothing. A bunch of adults are making a fuss over nothing, they're not as calm as this girl."
Zhao Gang sat to the side and laughed, thinking that his little one was really amazing, having learned to launch rockets so quickly.
At the same time, she felt that Granny Yin's rocket launcher was too big, so she turned to the Meng brothers beside her and asked, "Do you have a children's version of this rocket launcher?"
The two brothers stared at him in horror upon hearing this.
"Gangzi, you can't let the child play like this," Grandma Meng said anxiously.
Zhao Gang responded with an "oh," and wasn't disappointed that he didn't get the answer he wanted.
Turning back, I continued watching Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was studying how to use rocket launchers to create craters with Granny Yin. The craters were full of colorful bubbles, so beautiful.
"Grandma Yin, why did they divide the land up?"
Zhao Xiaoxiu knelt on the ground, her upper body lying on the rocket launcher, using the support frame for support, and moved the cannon head to aim at the wasteland.
The rocket launcher had a telescope on it. She closed her left eye and used her right eye to peer through the lens at the people busy at Taoyuan Base.
Grandma Yin thought the little girl wanted to blow someone up, so she silently turned the cannon towards the abandoned house next to her.
He answered uncertainly, "It's probably for the convenience of dividing the land."
"Who will it be given to?" Zhao Xiaoxiu turned her head and asked curiously.
Grandma Yin turned her head back and tapped the camera to signal her to concentrate on learning, saying, "Don't worry about things at such a young age."
I'm not prepared to talk much with a three-year-old.
Zhao Xiaoxiu: "......"
At 3:30 p.m., the people at Taoyuan Base finished the final zoning work, and the main force left the cleanup area and returned to the base at full speed.
However, the load was even heavier than when we arrived, so we couldn't pick up the speed and didn't get back to the base until after 8 p.m.
After submitting the task, it was already 9 p.m.
The task points are first collected by the leaders of each hunting party, and then distributed to their respective team members.
When Granny Yin returned with the points card, Chen Que and the others had already set up the stove.
We've cleaned up all the low-mutation animals we hunted today and put them on the barbecue grill, just waiting for the leader to come back so we can celebrate together.
Mrs. Shen also took out a case of beer, opened it, and shared it with everyone to liven things up.
Everyone knew that their hunting team would receive a generous reward of points today.
All of this was due to the addition of Zhao Gang, a temporary team member.
As soon as Granny Yin arrived, everyone fell silent and turned their attention to her.
She smiled slightly at everyone, picked up a whole bottle of beer, came to Zhao Gang and his daughter, poured two large glasses, and handed one to Zhao Gang.
He picked up his glass and downed half of it in one gulp, then raised his glass to indicate that he could drink as much as he wanted.
Having quenched her thirst, Granny Yin announced, "Our Qinghe Hunting Group has earned six thousand points for today's mission!"
"Head, how much?" Shen Que wondered if she had misheard, unable to believe it, but the corners of her mouth had already involuntarily turned up.
Grandma Yin pulled out her points card and, with an unusually patient expression, repeated, "Six thousand!"
There was a three-second silence around the campfire.
This was immediately followed by excited cheers.
The Meng brothers shoved Zhao Gang's arm hard, their eyes gleaming with ecstasy.
As soon as Granny Yin raised her hand, everyone quickly restrained themselves and quieted down.
She looked at Zhao Gang and his daughter, who remained calm and composed, and said, "The reason we were able to get so many points this time is thanks to Zhao Gang. So I've decided to give him 50% of the points, and the remaining 50% will be divided equally among the 36 people in our group. Any objections?"
