The father and daughter went out for an afternoon, and when they returned home, the sky was already filled with a purplish-pink sunset.
No one may enter the territory without the lord's permission; otherwise, the lord has the right to kill the person on the spot.
This rule is very intimidating to the survivors of Hope Base, let alone to individual survivors like Steven who don't even belong to Hope Base.
Moreover, these rules were originally designed to protect the vulnerable.
There is a hidden rule in the cataclysmic world—the strong can ignore all rules.
If it weren't for the fear that Zhao Gang would kill Steven, Mo Shigui would have quit long ago.
Steven refused to leave, so Mo Shigui could only stand by and watch over him. He was afraid that if he left, things would take an unpredictable turn.
"Didn't find what you were looking for in the pile of rocks?" Mo Shigui asked listlessly.
Steven ignored him completely, his eyes fixed on Zhao Gang and his daughter, who were making a chicken coop for the chicks outside the flower wall.
Zhao Gang always grants his daughter's requests. When Zhao Xiaoxiu said she wanted to build a house for Feiji that could shelter him from the wind and rain, the old father immediately brought out the poplar wood he had previously stockpiled, completed the design on the spot, and started construction immediately.
While Dad was building a house for the chickens, Zhao Xiaoxiu led two trembling chickens to familiarize themselves with the territory.
Strangely enough, the two pinkish flying chickens seemed to understand her. When she told them to leave, they left; when she told them to fly, they spread their still-developing, immature wings and fluttered above her head.
Zhao Xiaoxiu assigned the rapeseed field, the evolved potato field, and the evolved sweet potato field to the two little flying chickens, and carefully instructed them:
"This will be your workplace from now on. You must protect these crops and prevent them from being harmed by the mutated insects, understand?"
Two chubby flying chickens flapped their little wings to indicate that they understood.
"Good girl." Zhao Xiaoxiu reached out her little hand and affectionately patted their heads. "Go play, and remember to come back before sunset."
The two pheasants were still a little reluctant to part with her. Their sharp beaks, which could pierce stones, gently pecked her palm before they fluttered up and frolicked in their new territory.
Zhao Xiaoxiu stood up, put her hands on her hips, and stood there looking at the sky. The rosy clouds in the sky draped the crops in the fields in a purple-gold robe. The sky was so high and the land was so vast, all connected by the rosy clouds into a whole. A person standing in it was just a tiny speck of dust.
A gentle breeze caressed her face, ruffling her fine hair. Zhao Xiaoxiu raised her hand to wipe her face, brushing away the flying hair, then spread her arms, straightened her chest, and fully enjoyed this moment of comfort and tranquility.
If the intense malice outside her territory had been less pronounced, she could have enjoyed it for a little longer.
Zhao Gang and Zhao Xiaoxiu looked up together toward the entrance to the territory. The sound of a motorcycle engine starting rang out, and Steven drove off at high speed toward the direction where the sun was setting.
Mo Shigui stood at the entrance, helplessly spreading his hands, and asked loudly, "What exactly are they looking for?!"
The father and daughter shrugged, "We don't know."
I really don't know. Because I didn't even ask the green-haired man what kind of goods those were.
Mo Shigui shook his head, made a gesture indicating that he should call him if anything happened, and left in the patrol car.
He had a premonition that tonight would not be peaceful.
However, Territory 13 seems to be quite peaceful here.
Watching Mo Shigui leave until he was completely out of sight, Zhao Xiaoxiu and Zhao Gang, who had been acting all day, slumped their shoulders and let out a long sigh of relief.
Zhao Gang placed the coop he made for the pheasant under the flower wall at the entrance of the courtyard and led his daughter home.
As soon as the Green Fairy closed the courtyard gate, Meng Er, who had been holding his breath in the hall all day, immediately poked his head out and whispered, "Are you leaving?"
Zhao Xiaoxiu nodded excitedly and quickly ran into the house. Her eyes darted around the living room, where the green-haired man was still naked and tied up with his hands behind his back.
But now he has a bench and is huddled in the corner.
Granny Meng squatted next to Green Hair, holding a cup of water with a metal straw inserted. Every now and then, she would bring the straw to Green Hair's mouth so he could drink a sip of water, just enough to keep him hanging.
Meng Da and Sister Hou were missing from the room.
Zhao Gang closed the door, rolled up his sleeves, and went into the kitchen to prepare something delicious for his little one to soothe her fragile little heart that had been threatened that day.
He said, "They'll be back in five minutes."
Upon hearing this, Meng Er immediately said, "Then I'll go out and meet them."
Zhao Xiaoxiu nervously glanced outside the door; the sky had completely darkened in just two minutes.
The darkness had no effect on Zhao Xiaoxiu's eyesight, and she soon exclaimed with delight, "They're back!"
The people in the room became agitated, especially the green-haired man, who jumped up from his stool, only to be slapped back down by Granny Meng: "Sit still!"
She found it an eyesore that the guy wasn't even wearing clothes and just stood up, let alone with children in the house.
The green-haired man sat down sullenly, staring wide-eyed at the door.
It turned out that the person came in through the back door on the kitchen side.
Monkey Sister hopped in and saw Zhao Xiaoxiu, squeaking happily as she greeted her.
It seems things are going smoothly.
Meng Da and Meng Er followed behind, the two brothers carrying a large box covered in mud as they walked in.
The box looked quite heavy, and it made a dull thud when it was placed on the ground.
"Just this?" Granny Meng looked on with suspicion. What exactly was inside?
Zhao Gang reminded the two brothers, "Take them out and wash them first." He placed a bowl of steamed bird eggs on the coffee table in the hall and gestured for Zhao Xiaoxiu to come and eat.
The green-haired man's stomach rumbled loudly, and he kept swallowing.
Zhao Xiaoxiu was completely unaffected. She ate the whole bowl of steamed egg custard in a few big bites, then grabbed a bottle of nutritional supplement and eagerly went to the adults' side, curiously looking at the big box.
The Meng brothers washed all the mud off the box, revealing its original metallic silver-white color.
"There's a combination lock! If the password is entered incorrectly ten times, it will trigger a self-destruct program," the Meng brothers said nervously.
Granny Meng immediately looked at the green-haired man, but before she could ask, he shook his head frantically: "I don't know the password! Really!"
"It's alright." Zhao Gang calmly wiped the water off his hands, gestured for everyone to step back, and squatted down in front of the half-meter-high metal box.
He thought quietly for a minute, then without hesitation started dialing the keypad.
With a crisp "click," the metal lid popped open, releasing a burst of cold white air, which made everyone tense for a moment.
As the white smoke dissipated, five small suitcases were revealed inside the box.
The green-haired man exclaimed excitedly, "This is it! This is what Steven is looking for!"
"You don't know what it is?" Granny Meng asked in surprise.
The green-haired man gave a pitiful smile; he was just someone responsible for transporting boxes and had no right to know.
Judging from the appearance, the contents of the suitcase are probably biochemical drugs.
The three members of the Meng family, mother and sons, exchanged glances and suddenly had a bold idea.
The contents of this box could not be...
Zhao Gang picked up a suitcase, placed it on the ground, and opened the clasp, revealing twenty neatly arranged evolution potions shining brightly in front of everyone.
"My God! It's really an evolution potion!" Meng Er couldn't help but exclaim.
