On the tenth year of the natural disaster, I went to farm with me

Chapter 688: Eat Raw
In the narrow hall, the lights were dim and the atmosphere was suffocating.

Tan Junjie spoke first, "Let's not talk about the past. You should go to bed early. I'll go on patrol."

Tan's mother grabbed the protective suit her son had picked up and asked in a trembling voice, "Ajie, just because of a few words from the child, you have become estranged from your own brother?"

In the inner room with the door closed, Tan Qi was lying on the bed, biting the corner of the quilt tightly.

Unexpectedly, his mother still thought that he and Tan Junchao were "estranged" and it was Tan Qi's fault. Tan Junjie raised his wrist to check the time, put down his protective suit, and decided to talk about the matter once and for all.

"I heard that someone in another base had the ability to evolve after receiving blood from a relative of an Evolver."

Mother Tan raised her head and said, "That's exactly what I meant! With just a little blood, we can have one more evolver at home. What a great thing!"

A little blood? Tan Junjie's heart sank. "Junchao is 31 years old this year, and is still in the evolutionary stage. Do you want me to draw milliliters of blood and transfuse it to him to help stimulate his evolutionary ability?"

Tan's mother immediately shook her head. "You work so hard here, how can you bear to have so much blood drawn at once?"

His mother's words made Tan Junjie feel even colder. "Did you know about this before they did it?"

Tan's mother immediately shook her head, "Achao and I don't know..."

"You don't know, but Tan Junchao does. The couple wants not only Qiqi's blood, but also her flesh. Because it is rumored that eating meat is more effective than drinking blood, so they plan to 'accidentally' cut off a piece of Qiqi's flesh to test the effect."

Tan Junjie stared at his mother, who showed little shock, and knew that she had guessed it. "You must have heard about how to eat the flesh of blood relatives to achieve the best effect."

Eat it raw!

Although this incident happened four months ago, Tan Junjie still couldn't control his emotions and was filled with murderous intent when he mentioned it.

“No, this is impossible, how is this possible…” The bloody truth was revealed to her son in front of her, but Tan’s mother still didn’t want to, or didn’t dare to, believe it.

Tan Junjie's voice was spitting fire, "Did you use a kitchen knife to draw blood for blood transfusion? If Qiqi hadn't dodged it, Tan Junchao and his son would have eaten Qiqi's flesh. If she really stimulated her evolutionary ability, do you think they would stop? No! In order to obtain higher-level abilities, they would have eaten Qiqi alive!"

Thinking of the dozens of missing evolved children cases reported in the safe zone, Tan Junjie's breathing became heavy.

Mother Tan covered her face and burst into tears, "Impossible, this is impossible...Jun Chao won't eat it. In the past three years, no matter what delicious food or drink there was at home, Ah Chao himself was reluctant to touch a chopstick, and he also didn't let Xiao He eat more, and always gave Qi Qi first..."

Tan Junjie stated the facts with red eyes, "I was the one who sent all the food back to Qiqi. I don't need anyone to give in."

In the inner room, Tan Qi, who was biting the quilt, cried even harder.

Mother Tan put down her withered hands that were covering her face and looked at her eldest son with tears in her eyes.

Before she opened her mouth, Tan Junjie knew what she was going to say, "Not only Qiqi's, I've also given you my share. I've already told you and Tan Junchao that you can manage your food, but no one can touch Qiqi's food." Mother Tan seemed to have lost the last bit of energy in her body as the evolutionary bacteria eroded her. She slowly lowered her head and murmured, "This time, they are wrong..."

"Seven years before the natural disaster, if Jun Chao and his wife hadn't given me a bite of food out of kinship, I would have starved to death..."

Seeing that her eldest son didn't speak, Tan's mother thought he had heard it, and continued, "You and Qiqi are lucky. You are both evolvers, so you don't know the hardships of ordinary people. Ordinary people these days live worse than dogs..."

Tan Junjie raised his hand to check his watch, picked up the protective suit again, and made his attitude clear, "If you are willing to stay here, you can live with Qiqi, and move to the territory after the house is built. If you want to return to the safe zone, I will give you 100 points of pension money every month and half of the rent for the house."

Mother Tan looked dazed. "A'Chao has been listening to you since he was young, and has been following you like a little follower. Natural disasters, they are all caused by natural disasters..."

Tan Junjie said in a cold voice, "It was because he is my biological brother that I brought the three of them here when I went to pick you up. I rented the house they live in the safe zone, and I found their job through favors. Now they have no worries about food and drink in the safe zone, isn't that enough?"

Seeing that her eldest son was determined, Tan's mother stopped talking about her youngest son. "Even if the couple is really like what you said, what's Xiao He's fault? He is only six years old... He is your nephew. Let him come and live with me and Qiqi and eat more fresh and natural food. In case he can stimulate the ability to evolve, he and Qiqi can help each other after we are gone. It's hard to survive with only one person left in the disaster year."

"After the country promulgated the territory policy, I mentioned the territory matter to you and Tan Junchao. He missed the opportunity. Qiqi is the lord of Territory No. 15. Anyone from Tan Junchao's family who enters Territory No. 15 without her permission will be punished according to the Lord Law." Tan Junjie opened the door and walked out, then closed the door gently and left quickly.

There was no chance for trial and error during the years of natural disasters. For the sake of his daughter's safety, Tan Junjie would never allow the family of three to get close to his daughter again.

Mother Tan stood in the small hall in a daze for more than ten minutes, then suddenly turned around and opened her granddaughter's door.

Before she reached the bed, Tan Qi jumped up, knelt on one knee on the bed, held the dagger in both hands, and took a defensive posture.

Tan Qi's little house had no windows, and the dim light from the small hall shone in, illuminating the dagger in her hand, as well as her red and swollen eyes and the defensiveness of her body.

Frightened, Tan's mother frowned, "What are you doing?"

In the past, Tan Qi was afraid when she saw her grandmother frowning and glaring, but after she knew that her father would not abandon her, she was no longer afraid.

Daddy was out on patrol, so she had to protect herself and she must not put away the dagger. Because Tan Qi remembered clearly that when she told her grandmother that Second Aunt wanted to chop her, the look in her grandmother's eyes was more terrifying than the knife in Second Aunt's hand, so Tan Qi ran out of the house and ran to the territory to find her father.

Her granddaughter looked scary. Mother Tan didn't dare to move forward. She turned on the light and softened her voice, "Qiqi, tell me honestly, did grandma treat you badly during the three years in the safe zone? Did you eat the good things at home first?"

Tan Qi said, "My father gave it to me."

As soon as Mrs. Tan heard this, she knew that she had heard their conversation. It was useless to say anything now, and she had to take it slow.

Two days later, when Zhu Li came to give Xia Qing a bamboo shoot points card, she told her about the Tan family. "The old lady was coaxed by her youngest son and followed the transport truck back to An'an this morning. This old lady is really brave. She even dared to go back and live with the couple who wanted to eat her own niece's flesh."

Xia Qing had heard Tan Qi talking about this yesterday when she came to practice swimming. Tan Junchao's reason for persuading his mother to go back was very clear: he needed Tan Junjie to pay half of the rent, and he also wanted Tan Junjie to give his mother 100 points every month as retirement money.

Xia Qing was not interested in what the old lady thought. She wanted to know where Zhu Li got the information from.
