Chapter 232 The Convenience Store Opens Unexpectedly



The lords resolved the theft themselves.

But people didn't relax because of this; on the contrary, they became even more vigilant than before.

The patrol team went out early and returned late, and the sounds of gunfire and fighting could be heard every day outside the isolation zone.

The berserk mutated animals came down from the mountain, and the authorities urgently requisitioned hunting teams. The military and civilians cooperated to start a series of fierce battles.

Humanity's strength has truly increased, and good news is broadcast daily through public channels, reaching the ears of every resident.

Zhao Xiaoxiu had been listening to the radio a lot lately, and hearing about the ferocity of the hunting party and the lightning-fast advance of the human army made her blood boil.

Every morning before her morning exercise, the little girl turns on the public channel of her walkie-talkie and listens to the latest battle reports while wielding her twin swords with great skill.

After my morning exercise, I was all sweaty. I went upstairs, turned on the water heater, and took a nice, hot shower. When I came downstairs, Dad had already prepared a delicious and hearty breakfast in the kitchen.

This time of day is when Zhao Xiaoxiu is most relaxed.

Sitting at the dining table, I could hear the rain dripping from the eaves and the crackling of firewood burning in the stove, while I ate mashed potatoes or vegetable salad made by my father.

Every now and then you can watch monkeys battling floating fish and have a good laugh, it's a leisurely and carefree time.

If it weren't for the virus in the rain causing global biodiversity to go into chaos, things would be much better.

"Beep beep—!"

The piercing sound of a truck horn suddenly rang out, startling Zhao Xiaoxiu, who was enjoying her breakfast.

Zhao Gang, who was sitting with his face in his hands, intently watching the cub eat, froze instantly with a smile, frowned in displeasure, and turned to look at the door.

The rain was drizzling, but much lighter than before.

Monkey Sister is an evolved species, not afraid of the virus in the rain, so she opened the door and ran out to climb and play with Peter Pan on the roof and eaves.

While playing, they suddenly saw two military trucks parked at the entrance of the territory, and a familiar figure. Sister Monkey immediately roared twice to remind the cubs that the guy from the patrol station was coming!

"Xiaoxiu, come out here for a moment, Uncle needs to talk to you!" Mo Shigui shouted through a megaphone at the entrance.

"You called me?" Zhao Xiaoxiu pointed to herself, looking surprised.

Zhao Gang nodded. "Yes, he was calling you."

He picked up the bowl and placed it in front of Zhao Xiaoxiu, indicating that she was not in a hurry and should finish her breakfast first.

Zhao Xiaoxiu felt bad about keeping them waiting, so she finished her food in one big bite and immediately ran to the door.

I didn't forget to put on the raincoat, rain hat, and rain boots hanging under the eaves at the entrance, and jogged all the way to the entrance.

Zhao Gang followed, still worried. Monkey Sister and Little Flying Man also squatted on the roof and looked towards the entrance.

Two large trucks, one driver per truck, Mo Shigui was one of them.

The truck bed was covered with a tarpaulin, the whole tarpaulin bulging, and it was unclear what was inside.

"Uncle Mo, what do you need me for?" Zhao Xiaoxiu asked, sniffing the smell of fresh flesh and blood.

Mo Shigui laughed heartily, slapping the carriage with his large hand, making a loud thud. "I've brought you some work. How about we split the profits the same as before?"

Zhao Xiaoxiu instantly understood, yet still somewhat disbelieving. Her round eyes widened as she stared at the two fully packed carriages, asking in surprise, "Are they all filled with mutated animals?"

“Yes!” Mo Shigui readily agreed, “I’ve collected all the mutated ones below grade B.”

collect?

Zhao Xiaoxiu received another important keyword.

Mo Shigui had nothing to hide and explained, "We're fighting berserk mutants every day, and after our team finishes fighting, we follow behind other teams to pick up the corpses. Look, we brought back this big truck!"

Because of the hot weather, he was afraid of making the food too hot, so he hurriedly sent it to Territory No. 13.

Once all the edible parts were processed, he resold them back to other teams, making a hefty profit from them.

Zhao Xiaoxiu's convenience store opened unexpectedly.

I originally planned to wait until the rainy season ended before starting the business of selling mutated animal meat, but unexpectedly Mo Shigui delivered two large calories of mutated animals, so it's a good time to try it out.

However, since it's a matter of familiarity, things will be done according to the old rules, so Zhao Xiaoxiu's acquisition plan will have to be put on hold for now.

The two split the profits according to the ratio they had when they first collaborated: 20/80, with Zhao Xiaoxiu taking 20% ​​and Mo Shigui taking 80%.

She was in charge of handling the meat, while Mo Shigui was in charge of collecting, transporting, and selling it.

The two trucks full of mutated animals were too heavy for Zhao Xiaoxiu, a four-year-old child, to move.

Zhao Gang called the Meng brothers and the lazy little boy to help unload the goods.

Even Monkey Sister and Peter Pan, who were squatting on the roof watching the fun, were not spared. Unexpectedly, they developed another practical application of Peter Pan's levitation ability - short-distance transmission.

The truck drivers all got out and moved to a safe distance. Then, Peter Pan activated the levitation magnetic field to control the gravity of the cargo inside the truck, causing the cargo to levitate.

Then, all the floating goods were moved to the edge of the pond near Zhao Xiaoxiu's house, which had turned into a swamp. The levitation magnetic field was removed, the goods landed, and the transfer was successful!

However, the load was a bit beyond Peter Pan's capabilities, and some parts were missed along the way.

But it's okay, people can pick them up and use a suspension platform to transport them over.

Besides, with two strongmen like Meng Da and Mo Shigui around, the transfer was both easy and smooth.

As he left, Mo Shigui couldn't help but look at the floating fish above his head again and again, his eyes filled with envy.

However, if he were to keep a mutant by his side, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night; it's better to just look at it.

Zhao Xiaoxiu's ability to distinguish meat comes from Zhao Gang's tentacles, so Zhao Gang can also distinguish the edible parts.

So everyone divided the work: Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father were responsible for identifying and marking, while Meng Da was responsible for carrying and moving the objects.

Meng Er, with his ruthless iron hands, was in charge of cutting the products, while Meng Apo, with her sharp eyesight, was in charge of supervising and screening out the substandard ones.

Little Monkey Sister was in charge of cleaning and packaging, while Little Flying Hero was in charge of transporting the goods. Territory No. 13 was a scene of bustling activity in the drizzle.

After processing on the assembly line for a whole day, Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father finally managed to sort out all the edible mutant animals from the two truckloads.

In addition to the edible version, it is further divided into two categories: delicious and regular.

The two trucks carried a total of eight tons of mutated animals, but less than two tons of edible meat were processed, amounting to only 3,600 jin (approximately 1800 catties).

The discarded meat was thrown into the pond, and the piranhas, who were reluctant to leave, ate it with great relish. Their bellies quickly swelled up, and they floated on the surface of the water belly up, like pufferfish bursting open in shock.

Towards the end of the meal, they wagged their tails whenever they saw Zhao Xiaoxiu and her group; anyone who didn't know better would have mistaken them for domesticated dogs.

It's a pity their meat isn't tasty, otherwise Zhao Xiaoxiu would definitely have caught them and made fish soup for them tonight.

Completely unaware that they had escaped death because they were too unpalatable, the piranhas were still gathered at the edge of the swamp, happily opening their mouths and waiting to be fed.

Peter Pan and Monkey Sister also took advantage of a break from work to sneak in a big meal, and they only ate the best food.

Of course, Zhao Xiaoxiu didn't forget her own Green Fairy either, feeding it well, and the flowers on the green wall bloomed even more beautifully.
