Zhao Xiaoxiu waved, "Goodbye, Sister Wenfei!"
After changing into their flying chicks, the father and daughter left Territory No. 15 and continued riding east for half a kilometer until they reached the westernmost barren hillside and pile of rocks in the planting area.
The gravel needed for paving recently has been transported from here. Work is suspended today, but the machines are still running.
Next to the quarry is a garbage dump where all kinds of trash are piled up haphazardly.
Zhao Gang parked the car, told his daughter to wait by the car, and took the toxic waste soil, which was in a loofah bag, to dispose of it.
This garbage dump is located at the foot of a rocky cliff, with the high cliff forming a natural barrier to the east.
However, due to the difference in elevation, Yashan is still a flat area, and one can enter from the outer edge of the planting area via a small path.
Zhao Xiaoxiu stood in front of the entrance to the quarry and looked up. She saw many people standing on the cliff, staring intently at Zhao Gang who was going to throw away his trash. They were also holding weapons, sticks, detectors, and other similar items, scanning the surroundings.
They had clearly arrived earlier than the father and daughter.
Steven glanced at Zhao Xiaoxiu, then strode to catch up with Zhao Gang. If Zhao Gang lingered in one spot for more than a second, Steven would immediately go over and take a look.
Mo Shigui came up behind Zhao Xiaoxiu and asked in a low voice, "Are you really here to throw away the trash?"
He kindly reminded her, "They outnumber us and have a biotech company backing them up. This has never happened before. You little girl don't understand the stakes involved, but your dad, an adult, certainly doesn't. Offending these lunatics won't do you any good."
He muttered to himself for a while, and Zhao Gang had already returned after dumping the wasteland.
Zhao Xiaoxiu looked up at Mo Shigui and gave him a polite but slightly embarrassed smile: "Uncle Mo, I don't understand what you just said. My dad and I just came here to throw away the trash."
"Moreover, the patrol car loudspeaker said that protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility within the territory, and any pollutants found must be taken to the landfill for disposal. Did my dad and I do something wrong?"
Faced with a pair of innocent and bewildered eyes, Mo Shigui was speechless for a moment. Honestly, why was he talking to a child like that? She wouldn't understand anyway.
"It's alright." Mo Shigui sighed softly. After all, she was still a child. No matter how mature she seemed, she was still a little girl who was not yet four years old.
It's normal not to understand such a complex principle. Mo Shigui comforted himself with this thought.
Zhao Gang gave him a cold look and reminded him to stay away from his cub.
Mo Shigui glanced at Steven and the others who were still frantically searching through the junkyard, and wanted to say a few words to Zhao Gang.
But before he could say anything, a small hand suddenly tugged at his pants.
"What's wrong?" Mo Shigui looked down at the little one in front of him.
Zhao Xiaoxiu pointed to his hairy arm and reminded him worriedly, "Uncle Mo, your arm is bleeding."
Mo Shigui froze for a moment, then raised his arm to look. Sure enough, there was blood flowing out. He must have been injured when he rolled around in the car.
Instantly, any good intentions she had in wanting to remind Zhao Gang vanished.
Mo Shigui glared at Zhao Gang with annoyance.
Zhao Gang: "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Mo Shigui: "..."
He took two deep breaths to avoid being driven mad by him.
"Get out! Get out!" he waved impatiently, stepped aside, and gestured for the father and daughter to leave quickly.
The bicycle slowly drove away, and the father and daughter completely ignored Steven and his group, strolling all the way home.
Along the way, they encountered Lord Hao Ran, number 11, who greeted the father and daughter warmly and seemed eager to ask:
"Brother Gangzi, can I trade some flowers with you? My house is empty, and I'd like to decorate it with some flowers. I don't need too many, just twenty or thirty stems will do."
Zhao Gang looked at Zhao Xiaoxiu, who knew he was another simple lord who wanted to try planting a flower wall. She saw through him but didn't say anything, and asked him what he would exchange for it.
"Yesterday, I went into the mountains with Qiu Bai and his wife from plot number two and got some low-grade mutated chili peppers. They've been tested and are edible. Can I trade a bunch of chili peppers for them?"
Zhao Xiaoxiu was pleasantly surprised; chili peppers! She had almost forgotten what spicy food tasted like.
He nodded expectantly: "Then, Brother Haoran, bring the chili peppers over tomorrow, and you can choose the flowers you like."
"No need for tomorrow, I can go home and get the chili peppers right now. Wait for me a bit and we'll go back together!" Hao Ran said excitedly, his eyes gleaming with gossip.
Now everyone in the planting area knows that the Green Field Alliance suddenly attacked because the person they were looking for had broken into Territory 13.
Hao Ran didn't want to miss this opportunity to see the excitement up close.
But then he looked at the father and daughter with a puzzled expression: "Brother Zhao, Xiaoxiu, where did you two come from?"
Aren't the Green Field Alliance members camped at the entrance to Territory 13? The father and daughter should be at home right now.
Zhao Gang and Zhao Xiaoxiu exchanged a glance and said in unison, "We went to throw away the trash; we just came back from the landfill."
"Oh..." Hao Ran was about to ask the father and daughter to wait for him when he turned around and saw Mo Shigui and Steven catching up again.
Steven rode a mountain bike, and Mo Shigui reluctantly sat on the back seat.
The moment Hao Ran's eyes met Steven's, a chill ran through him for no apparent reason.
He pointed to the person who had come, and then to Zhao Gang and his daughter, "Um... is it inconvenient to come to your house right now? I'll come again tomorrow."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned and left, trying to get away from this troublesome place.
After all, he was just an ordinary person and couldn't afford to offend those lunatics from the Green Field Alliance.
Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father shrugged in unison, watched Hao Ran disappear, and continued walking slowly home.
Steven's face was grim. He rode his bicycle parallel to the ground and forced out through gritted teeth, "Zhao Gang! You're playing me?"
Zhao Gang rarely gave him a look that seemed to ask, "Is there something you need?"
Steven nearly suffered internal injuries from holding back his anger at his attitude. He didn't dare to take action, and his mind-scratching was ineffective against Zhao Gang, so he didn't even consider it again.
Those gloomy green eyes, like venomous snakes, climbed onto Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was sitting in front of the car.
Zhao Gang's weaknesses are far too obvious.
Steven thought to himself: You arrogant tentacle-evolved human, you better not force me to do something that will cause you a lifetime of suffering!
Zhao Xiaoxiu frowned, disliking the gaze, and moved closer to her father.
The faint bloodstains in Zhao Gang's sleeves detected the intense malice directed at the cubs from behind. The flower buds at the tips of the petals opened angrily, and if not controlled by the main body, they would have rushed out immediately to tear the human named Steven to shreds.
The tentacles, which were usually either stepped on or slapped away by Zhao Xiaoxiu, were now filled with affection for the cub. In places unseen by outsiders, they reached out and wrapped their tentacles around her fingers, ankles, and ears.
Zhao Xiaoxiu was so itchy that she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Steven, who was following closely behind, almost crushed the motorcycle handlebars. That wretched kid!
