Chapter 394: You damn kid, call Mom!
One year old: Unnoticed, on this wasteland you have barely survived over a year, relying on a certain human female's provision, you are still fairly healthy.
On this wasteland traces of human activity remain; in a sense it is an unrecognized region. As an old star and a garbage star, it has mostly been forgotten, save for the old faction unwilling to disappear, struggling to survive.
On the wasteland, food is extremely scarce; fresh food is even more unattainable, let alone powdered milk.
Fortunately, where there is sunlight there is heat; life's strong adaptability is fully demonstrated here, using various material conversion methods, the people here can have enough carbohydrates to barely survive.
But you, in a place where even food cannot be had, can actually drink milk steadily—this itself is extremely unimaginable. Although your milk is technology and painstaking effort, it doesn't matter; in a sense it is still milk.
Now you only know eating dry rice, sleeping, eating dry rice plus sleeping, with no realization at all of how terrifying it is to have milk to drink.
Two years old: Your growth speed seems especially fast; technology and painstaking effort are useless to you, your physique seems unlike ordinary people—you haven't even used a single anti‑radiation drug, which shocked that human female greatly, and she began studying your physique.
Hehe, Xiao Jiejie, let me draw a bit of blood~
Just a bit!
You damn kid! Don't run!
Generally speaking, a child over two years old has just learned to walk, but at this moment Zhang Jie is like a oversized white cockroach, constantly darting through the messy interior, and the human female behind him cannot catch him no matter what.
This damn kid... how can he run so fast...
The human female finally gave up chasing Zhang Jie; her body, long corroded by various toxic substances, no longer had such vigor.
Sigh....
All right, all right, I won't draw your blood.
Zhang Jie in the distance instantly lowered his guard, pattering over to her, looking at her with great curiosity.
Want to go exploring with me?
Yeah! Yeah!
Hehe, I caught you!
Zhang Jie's expression instantly shifted from excitement to terror; he struggled wildly, but was firmly seized by the nape of fate, only able to face lifelessly as his blood was drawn.
Cunning human female!
Three years old: The human female still kept her promise, saying she'd take you out and she did; whether she's bold or discovered you're different, she actually brought you to this perilous wasteland.
You seem to have opened the door to a new world, as if stepping onto a continent made of gold; everything around you holds an irresistible deadly attraction.
'Life Talent: Scavenger' — Activated!
You seem like a cheat‑enabled treasure‑hunting mouse, freely soaring in this world made of scrap; although irradiated mutant beast disasters occasionally appear to attack you, after all she could boldly bring you out like this, and the human female also has some ability.
Boom!!!
Weedy Lake!
Awesome!
In the distance a huge mushroom cloud rose, and the giant beast entrenched on the wasteland was thus blasted by the human female into minced meat.
Wow! Wah!
Beside him came Zhang Jie's astonished 'aba' sound; seeing his shocked little appearance, the human female proudly tossed her hair.
How about it? Handsome or not?
Yeah!
Yeah....
The human female suddenly leaned forward to look at Zhang Jie, looking left and right, finally letting out a helpless sigh.
This little thing, when will it be able to speak?
At this age.... it should have started speaking long ago, right?
Ababa.
It seems under some influence, Zhang Jie's athletic talent is maxed out; although his whole body is nimble to the extreme, he still can't speak, which greatly troubles the human female.
Little thing, want to go check out the city?
Huh?
The city? That word is truly too novel for Zhang Jie.
But the premise is you must learn to speak!
Ah?
Zhang Jie shook his head; he can understand the human female's language, but he just won't speak.
Hey! You little plaything!
Zhang Jie's head took a punch, soft and feeble, which to him felt more like a pat.
However, Zhang Jie's punch almost made the human female throw up from a punch.
Cough cough....
You damn kid, how is your strength so great.
You wouldn't be some radiation monster, would you?
Four years old: As your age increased, you finally learned to speak, but it's obvious you're just unwilling; as a person who's been abstract since childhood, you only spoke your first words in life after the human female provoked you.
'You damn kid!' Are you just messing with me?
The human female let out an angry roar at you, feeling her intellect had been rubbed.
Call Mom!
Don't!
Call Mom!
Won't call!
The stubborn donkey aspect was portrayed by Zhang Jie to the fullest.
You damn kid!
The human female let out another exclamation towards Zhang Jie.
"Call Mom, and after you do, I'll take you to the city to open a Treasure Chest!"
"Mom! (super loud)"
"Eh!"
The human female showed a very pleased expression; although Zhang Jie didn't know why she was so happy over just that term of address, he cared more about the Treasure Chest in the city!
"Treasure Chest!"
"Good, good, good, I'll take you, I'll take you."
"Call Mom one more time so I can hear!"
The human female is a very young human; she looks under twenty-five, her behavior is also childish, but she is especially particular about the term 'Mom'.
Cough cough, it's probably not because she's playing some game, but she indeed enjoys Zhang Jie calling her that.
And the rumor that there is a Treasure Chest in the city has made Zhang Jie anticipate it for a whole year; this year, that human female has been stringing him along, not telling him what the Treasure Chest actually is, so Zhang Jie agreed so readily.
"Good! Tomorrow Mom will take you into the city!"
The human female said very happily, "In this Feitu world, what kind of existence is order?"
Zhang Jie was very much looking forward to it.
(Guess when Xiao Jiu will make her appearance?)
