While Zhao Xiaoxiu and her father calmed down, the macaques were not idle either.
It skillfully stripped all the belongings off the three people and placed them on the hoverboard like treasures.
Three guns, eighty-five bullets, two daggers, three multi-tools, three walkie-talkies, and even the baseball cap that the young man had dropped was taken.
It picked it up with great interest and put it on its head to try it on; it was a little too small.
It was too big, so it was piled on Zhao Xiaoxiu's head again. Her eyes were conflicted, but in the end she couldn't bear to throw it away, so she put it back on the hoverboard.
"Squeak!" the macaque cried.
Zhao Xiaoxiu looked over at the sound and saw it open the backpacks on the three people and dump them on the ground, from which rolled out a lot of bright orange persimmons.
A quick glance revealed about forty fruits, all of which were evolution fruits.
No wonder those three were in such a good mood when they came down from the mountains, even though they hadn't gotten anything.
Just one evolution fruit can be exchanged for a lot of points.
Biotech companies have been acquiring newly discovered evolutionary species at high prices for breeding purposes.
Meanwhile, the cultivation experience of evolved fruits, vegetables, and crops at the Taoyuan Base is nearing maturity, and citizens who submit newly evolved species will be rewarded with contribution points.
The persimmons, which were already ripe, had thick, chewy, and resilient skin due to evolution. When the macaques ruthlessly knocked them to the ground, they didn't break at all.
The macaque picked up the two sniffing devices with delight. The sweet aroma was irresistible. It couldn't resist breaking one in half and bringing it to its mouth to slurp.
"Squeak!" It jumped up excitedly, "Delicious!"
He also encouraged Zhao Xiaoxiu and Zhao Gang to eat together.
Zhao Gang has a sweet tooth, and smelling the sweet aroma of fruit wafting in the air, he curiously picked one up and tried it.
The persimmon flesh, now completely soft and tender, melts in your mouth and slides down your throat, leaving behind a rich, fruity aroma.
Zhao Gang's eyes lit up, and he quickly handed one to his cub, "Eat!"
Zhao Xiaoxiu swallowed hard, remembering their value, and reluctantly ate one. The more she ate, the tastier it became, and she wanted another one after finishing it.
However, before they could even make their third move, the sound of a car approaching came from afar.
Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly picked up an empty backpack and urged Zhao Gang and the macaque to pack all the persimmons into it.
After packing everything and zipping up the backpack, Zhao Xiaoxiu felt relieved only after Zhao Gang carried it on his own.
"What happened?!"
The patrol car quickly arrived and stopped in front of the father and daughter. Two soldiers got out of the car, their faces grim as they looked at the three already cold corpses on the ground. They subconsciously glanced at the macaque standing behind Zhao Xiaoxiu.
Zhao Xiaoxiu explained, "These three people came out of the mountains and forests of Territory No. 1. They almost killed me and Sister Monkey, and also stole our things. It was only because Dad arrived in time that everything was alright."
Zhao Gang: "Xiaoxiu is right, we were acting in self-defense."
The patrolling soldiers frowned. This kind of thing happened often, and as long as the lord they were protecting was safe, there was basically no need to ask any further questions.
One of them crouched down to check on the three men, and when he saw the three identical badges on their bodies, his expression gradually became serious.
"They're all from the hunting party, and only hunting parties can apply for this kind of uniform badge, which also has the Peach Blossom Base Guild's logo on it... This is even more troublesome!"
The inspecting soldier stood up and impatiently warned Zhao Gang, "It's best not to kill members of the hunting party easily within our territory."
Zhao Gang's eyes were full of condemnation: "They've already killed them, why didn't you warn everyone earlier?"
The two patrolling soldiers were speechless, unable to utter a word after Zhao Gang's words.
The two took a deep breath and said, "Then you can handle it yourself. If anyone comes looking for trouble for you later, it's not our place to interfere."
"Shouldn't the patrol station be protecting the lord?" Zhao Gang asked, puzzled.
His eyes were too pure, devoid of any other personal emotions; they were simply asking a question.
But that look provoked the two patrolling soldiers, who suppressed their anger and said, "This is a personal grudge!"
If they get involved, it will become a matter between the two bases. Does he even understand the stakes involved?
Zhao Gang: "Okay, I understand."
The two soldiers were stunned. What did he realize?
"Dad?" Zhao Xiaoxiu looked over with concern.
Zhao Gang shook his head slightly to indicate that he was alright. He picked up his daughter with one hand and used the other hand to transform into tentacles to lift up the three corpses on the ground. He then strode forward.
The macaque quickly pulled on the hoverboard to catch up with the father and daughter. Finding the two patrolling soldiers next to the car annoying, it spat at them.
It would have been better if they hadn't shown up at all!
The patrolling soldiers were dumbfounded. Had a monkey spat on them?
"Where is he taking those three corpses?" a patrolling soldier asked in a puzzled voice.
The other person shook his head, gesturing for his companion to get in the car and follow along to find out what was going on.
The human body undergoes a mutation two hours after death. Although they do not intend to get involved, if they allow three White Walkers to appear in the plantation, they will be out of a job when the stationmaster returns.
As a result, the two followed the car all the way to the gate of Territory No. 13, but they didn't see Zhao Gang making any attempt to dispose of the three corpses.
He placed the three corpses neatly on the side of the road, then took his daughter and the monkey home.
The two soldiers looked at each other, puzzled. "What's going on?"
Zhao Xiaoxiu was also quietly asking her father what he was doing.
Zhao Gang put his daughter down, took off his backpack, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "It's their job to deal with the White Walkers in the plantation. Once the corpses turn into White Walkers, it's none of our business."
After saying that, he took the hoverboard that the macaque was leading, removed the two sections of mutated loach from it, and then selected two of the largest blackback fish. He took them into the kitchen, pulled out a kitchen knife, and began to clean them up efficiently.
Zhao Xiaoxiu and the macaque looked at each other, and when they turned to the tall figure busy in the kitchen, their eyes were filled with admiration.
Zhao Gang felt the two burning gazes behind him, but without turning around, a faint smile played on his lips as he offered a reminder:
"If we don't put those little fish back into the pond, they'll die."
"Huh? Ah!"
Zhao Xiaoxiu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered the small fish on the floating plate. She quickly looked over and found that most of the water that was full had leaked out from the gaps between the broad leaves, leaving only a shallow layer.
Twenty-one mutated blackback fish huddled together, their mouths agape, looking as if they were about to suffocate.
"Sister Monkey!" Zhao Xiaoxiu quickly called to Sister Monkey to help her take the little fish to the pond.
By the way, let's introduce Monkey Sister, Peter Pan's new friend, so they can get to know each other.
As soon as the little fish entered the water, they came back to life and instinctively showed their ferocity, even trying to eat the fish fry that had been put in the day before.
However, before the operation could even begin, Peter Pan gave him a severe lesson, making him behave himself.
