Peter Pan got angry, but the consequences weren't serious at all.
Completely unaware that he had almost been forgotten, Peter Pan assumed that his little master was too busy and had left him in the unfamiliar pond for so many days. When he saw Zhao Xiaoxiu running enthusiastically toward him, he spat a jet of water at her with a "pfft".
Unfortunately, Zhao Xiaoxiu nimbly dodged, her clothes remaining dry and untouched.
Peter Pan angrily questioned his master about where he had been all these days. At the same time, he didn't let Monkey Sister off the hook either. With a flick of his fish tail, he splashed a bucket of cold water on Monkey Sister, giving her a thorough chill.
Monkey Sister was furious and picked up a rock to smash the fat fish to death. Just as the two were about to fight again, Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly mediated.
The little girl calmly took out a handful of fructose candies from her backpack, one for the fish, one for the monkey, one for herself, and one for her father. The atmosphere instantly became incredibly harmonious.
Peter Pan was happily shaking his fish head when he suddenly froze, his small fish eyes widening to their maximum size—the baby's father is back?
With a completely new look, Zhao Gang smiled at the silly fish.
The little flying hero, who was originally floating in mid-air, "plop" fell into the pool of water, feeling flattered.
Zhao Gang poked the shoulder of the cub in front of him, pointed to the silly fish in the water and said, "They did a great job this time. Xiao Xiu's kindness to them was worthwhile."
Zhao Xiaoxiu chuckled and immediately raised her chin, saying, "Of course! Peter Pan is the best. Without him, I don't know how long it would have taken me to find my dad."
As he spoke, he noticed the large female monkey beside him secretly watching him, and quickly continued:
"Sister Monkey is so nice too. She's been taking care of me the whole way. Dad, you should praise Sister Monkey too."
Zhao Gang nodded to Sister Monkey in perfect cooperation, and the monkey's eyes visibly lit up, almost blinding the Green Fairy.
Tender green branches peeked out from the gap in the crossbody bag, concealing all their thorns, and wrapped around Zhao Xiaoxiu's wrist, their desire for praise not too obvious.
Unfortunately, it couldn't eat sugar, so Zhao Xiaoxiu asked Little Flying Hero to bring some water. She carefully watered the Green Fairy, praising it as she did so.
"The Green Fairy is great too. Thanks to the Green Fairy for defeating the bad guys, we were able to find our dad safely."
After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed the tender leaf on his wrist.
Unexpectedly, the green branches turned red instantly, and even the veins in the leaves were pink. It was so cute that Zhao Xiaoxiu couldn't help but kiss it again.
Monkey Sister was extremely jealous. Seeing this, she came forward, hugged Zhao Xiaoxiu tightly with her two ape arms, pouted her big mouth, and kissed Zhao Xiaoxiu's face with saliva.
"Sister Monkey!" Zhao Xiaoxiu punched her in annoyance, but Sister Monkey was unfazed and proudly pounded her chest at Green Fairy and Little Flying Hero to show her special status in the cubs' hearts.
"It's getting late, Xiaoxiu, it's time to get going," Zhao Gang reminded her.
Zhao Xiaoxiu nodded, quickly put the Green Fairy back into her bag, and instructed Sister Monkey to put the shower head on Little Flying Man. After filling the water tank with water, she checked the shower head again to make sure everything was correct before setting off again.
With the addition of Zhao Gang, an adult, and several hundred kilograms of supplies on the hoverboard, Little Flying Man's flight speed was much slower than before.
However, with the almost omniscient Zhao Gang guiding them, the group successfully found a place with a water source before the water tank ran out.
The previous tent had been washed away by the sea, so Zhao Xiaoxiu specially exchanged it for a large tent this time, which could comfortably accommodate herself, her father, and Sister Monkey.
After finding a campsite, Green Fairy was in charge of clearing away any potential dangers in the surrounding area, while Monkey Sister was in charge of fetching water and collecting firewood.
After setting up the tent, Zhao Gang went into the forest alone. Before long, he returned with two lively mutant rabbits. He quickly tidied them up by the water and then roasted them on the pile of firewood that Zhao Xiaoxiu had prepared.
There is no moon tonight, and the sky is filled with countless stars, mysterious and beautiful.
Zhao Xiaoxiu and Sister Monkey sat side by side by the fire, resting their chins on their hands and gazing longingly at the rabbit sizzling and dripping with oil. They took a deep breath, the rich aroma of meat making their mouths water.
Zhao Gang found it both funny and heartbreaking. He sped up the roasting process, first tearing off two rabbit legs and handing them to the two greedy cats behind him.
"Mmm!" Zhao Xiaoxiu exclaimed after taking just one bite of the rabbit leg meat, "It's so delicious! Dad's roasted rabbit is the best rabbit in the world!"
The monkey sister couldn't speak human language, but she nodded in agreement. Compared to the meat Zhao Gang roasted, the mutated animal meat she and her cubs had roasted before was only edible, definitely not delicious.
A baby and a monkey were eating meat heartily, finishing one piece and then another. The baby's face was covered in oil, but its round eyes shone with a light brighter than the stars.
Zhao Gang rested his chin on his hand as he watched, while the other hand kept feeding the animals. The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, and his heart was filled with something called "happiness".
After eating and drinking their fill and getting a good night's sleep, the father and daughter continued their westward journey the next day, taking their fish and monkeys with them.
Last night before going to bed, Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father had already discussed their next steps.
She wanted to find a secluded valley near a water source, but not too far from human cities, preferably with a main road nearby, to settle down in as her new territory.
Zhao Gang listened to the cub without any objection and directly took on the task of finding new territory, acting as its guide.
The father and daughter flew westward for two days and two nights, finally stopping on the afternoon of the third day in a valley filled with towering trees.
Located near the main transportation route between Hope Base and Ark Tomorrow Base, this place is sheltered by two steep mountains, behind which lies a flat valley that has never been visited by humans.
But because there were no humans, the mutated trees and plants grew to enormous sizes.
There are banana and lotus leaves with leaves that can spread out to a diameter of twenty or thirty meters, as well as countless mutated charred trees that look withered but whose trunks actually require at least twenty people to hug.
Amidst these giant plants and trees, a small river flows through, and downstream, in a low-lying area east of the valley, it converges to form a natural lake.
As soon as Peter Pan saw the lake, he jumped in without hesitation, as if he were going crazy.
The lake water was crystal clear, and countless mutated fish swam in it. Little Flying Man, a big fish eating a small fish, disrupted the lake's peaceful ecosystem and stirred up the water into a murky mess.
Zhao Xiaoxiu shouted, and Little Flying Man finally calmed down, hovering on the lake surface and fawningly waving his big fish tail, hoping that Zhao Xiaoxiu would stay here.
These mutated giant plants in the valley are not very aggressive, but because they gather together in large numbers and act as a united front, there are almost no traces of mutated animals left in the valley.
Without the disturbance of ferocious mutated animals, and with a natural water source in the valley, a large area of fertile land can be reclaimed for planting after the giant charred wood is cleared away.
Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father exchanged a glance, and both nodded in unison, "That's it!"
