Chapter 56 The First Transaction



"Splash!"

Large raindrops fell, soaking the father and daughter from head to toe in less than three seconds.

A mutated grass sprout emerged from the burned earth by the roadside, but it quickly withdrew as soon as it came into contact with the rain.

Even such fragile young grass knows to fear rainwater carrying the SHASI virus.

Zhao Xiaoxiu was initially worried and scared, but she soon discovered that she was perfectly fine after getting caught in the rain, and was even a little excited.

The wind and rain, carrying yellow mud, splashed onto my legs and face, which made me unhappy.

Rainwater was no different from ordinary water to Zhao Gang. He lifted his clothes and covered the cub completely to block the splashing mud and water.

However, getting soaked in the rain was unpleasant, and Zhao Gang just wanted to get the cub home as quickly as possible. He stomped his feet, and the two bicycle wheels spun so fast they seemed to fly.

With a "whoosh!"

The bicycle sped past Territory 12, splashing mud five meters high, and with a "smack," the mud splashed onto the wall of the roadside bungalow.

The window on the wall had no glass, and Dongfang Ling, who was standing by the window, was caught off guard and was drenched in mud and water.

Her first thought was that she had been attacked by mutated plants and animals. She quickly raised the shotgun standing at her feet and pointed it in the direction of the sound.

It turned out that a bicycle had driven by.

etc.

The person with the bulging belly in the car, isn't that the lord of the No. 13 territory across the street?

Riding through a SHASI virus downpour without any protective gear, yet showing absolutely no signs of going berserk?

The father and daughter, speeding through the rain, felt a shocked gaze on their backs.

But the rain was too heavy, and there was no time to explain.

When thunder roared in the sky, the father and daughter rushed into their home.

The bicycle was covered in mud, and the father and daughter's backpacks, sacks, and clothes were also covered in mud. Their hair was wet, and they looked very disheveled.

But the father and daughter had a good attitude. They looked at each other and chuckled, put their things down, and started a fire to boil water for a bath and to wash clothes.

An hour later, the rain subsided, and the father and daughter, having changed and washed themselves, squatted in front of the stove, discussing how to cook the ingredients in front of a basin of mutated sparrow corpses.

Zhao Xiaoxiu: "Dad, I want to eat roasted sparrows."

“Then we need salt and cumin,” Zhao Gang said confidently, “but we don’t have any.”

Zhao Xiaoxiu stood up abruptly; she decided to call the patrol station.

The call was connected very quickly.

"Hey, is this the patrol station? I'm the daughter of the lord of Territory 13... I have some fresh autumn pears here, would you like some?"

"Okay, Daddy said he wants some seasonings like oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar... Okay, I'll have Daddy meet you at the door. Goodbye, Uncle!"

As soon as the phone call ended, Zhao Xiaoxiu immediately gave her dad, who was standing patiently and smiling by the kitchen door, an OK sign.

Ten minutes later, the sound of a car engine starting could be heard outside the door.

Zhao Gang led Mo Shigui and his companions directly to their doorstep.

"Station Chief Mo, please come in." Zhao Gang took off his raincoat, which he had been wearing as a makeshift raincoat, and invited the two of them inside.

Mo Shigui and his companion shook the water droplets off their rain hats and came in wearing raincoats and rain boots.

The room was lit by solar-powered lights and contained a square table and a fabric sofa; the furnishings were very simple.

The golden autumn pears, which Zhao Xiaoxiu had already peeled, were neatly arranged on a porcelain plate on the table, with the cut surfaces slightly oxidized.

However, it has to be cut because the B-grade mutant part is not edible for ordinary people and will not pass the green light detection of the testing instrument.

"Why did you cut them all into small pieces?" Mo Shigui's companion looked at the plate of pears on the table with some disappointment.

But he had to admit that the sweet aroma of the pear had successfully whetted his appetite.

I imagine the other patrol members at the station would feel the same way.

Zhao Gang smiled apologetically at Mo Shigui, and then lied with a straight face:

"The cut-off parts aren't of very good quality. As you know, station manager, this kind of fruit gets eaten by mutated birds or other mutated species as soon as it ripens. Ours is already of very good quality."

Zhao Xiaoxiu also tried her best to promote her family's pears, generously picking one and handing it to Mo Shigui's companion, "Big brother, please try it, it's especially sweet."

It's hard for any normal person to dislike a cute child who smiles at you in a friendly way.

"Station Master?" His companion looked at Mo Shigui expectantly.

Seeing him nod, she immediately took out the advanced testing instrument she was carrying and inserted it into the golden autumn pear to test it.

The indicator light turned green, and the small screen on the detector displayed the element content of the fruit pulp.

The virus content was only 0.09%.

As long as the concentration is less than 0.1%, even people who have never taken immunotherapeutic drugs can consume it freely.

If one is an evolved human, then one can accept food with a virus content of less than 1%.

The viral load in the golden autumn pear is so low that it can be ignored.

This result far exceeded Mo Shigui and his companions' expectations.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaoxiu was unaware that her casual slash had cut off more than just the yellow light spot.

It's more like purification.

Some things appear as completely different concepts from the perspective of a normal person and from the perspective of a father and daughter.

The yellow light spot that Zhao Xiaoxiu could easily cut off would require a high-precision machine for an ordinary human to do.

Fresh fruit is a rare commodity even in the base's military units.

Zhao Xiaoxiu generously gave one away, and Mo Shigui and his companion shamelessly accepted them separately.

However, they didn't take advantage of the children. The remaining 19 golden autumn pears on the plate on the table were given 1140 Hope Base points at 60 points each.
