Ning Ke and Lan Lan were busy and having a lot of fun taking care of the little meat that Dabao and the others looked down upon.

Dabao sometimes sees them sorting for a long time just for a little bit of meat, but what they sort out is not enough for them to have a whole meal.

This made it very anxious. Seeing that Ning Ke would not listen to advice, it could only take the few cubs that were already able to hunt and stockpile mutant beast meat all over the mountains.

This unexpectedly helped limit the spread of mutant animals, but other territories were not so lucky.

The patrol teams in the base were harassed by mutant beasts every now and then, and they were so busy that they had no time to rest.

Despite their efforts to defend and resist, casualties inevitably began to increase.

Ning Ke frowned as she looked at the increasing number of help messages in the taskbar.

He put down the bracelet and stared blankly.

Good and bad fortune are interdependent. God really won't let us live a peaceful life.

The vast forests have been returned to the mutant beasts, and humans have basically withdrawn.

Concentrating in plains makes it easier to keep an eye on each other and grow food.

Large-scale planting means investing a lot of manpower and material resources, and hunting training has declined relatively.

If mutant beasts are given a chance to breathe and multiply, humans themselves will be the ultimate victims.

There was no choice but for people to put down their hoes and start fighting back, leaving the heavy work to ordinary people who were evolving slowly.

Some scattered private territories had to move closer to the large base in order to get the fastest safe rescue.

……

At this critical moment, something strange happened.

"Captain Xu, what is this leopard trying to do?"

Xu Yinghao covered his chest with his hands, his face pale. He had just been hit by a wild boar and his ribs were probably broken. He felt a stinging pain with every breath.

Their team had been working non-stop for three days and three nights, but now he really felt desperate.

A healthy and strong mutant leopard appeared in the trench where they were taking shelter.

The eleven men in the trench were so frightened that they dared not breathe, and all of them stood there frozen with pale faces.

[Roar~] The leopard's amber pupils looked at Captain Xu Yinghao.

This human has the scent of a mutant beast. It seems I've found the right person.

The mutant leopard looked at Xu Yinghao again, turned around a few times and disappeared.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, not understanding what the other party was doing.

"Captain, let's go..."

Xu Yinghao nodded. He was almost exhausted, and his teammates rushed forward to support him.

After quickly packing up their things, everyone was about to turn around and leave when the hairs on their bodies stood up again.

"team leader…"

Seeing the team members looking at the direction behind him with expressions that seemed like they were about to cry, Xu Yinghao sighed slightly and slowly turned around to look over.

The mutant leopard that had just left returned again, holding a tiny cub in its mouth.

He gently put his cub down and pushed it towards the human.

For some reason, Xu Yinghao could feel the warmth flowing in those golden and cold eyes.

Suddenly he thought of Ning Ke, and quietly picked up the bracelet to make a video call.

Seeing the mutant leopard opposite suddenly become alert.

Xu Yinghao said softly as if possessed by a ghost, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you or the little one."

The person on the other end actually understood and nodded imperceptibly.

It's really weird. My hands are shaking with fear.

Slowly raising the bracelet and looking at the familiar face in the video, Xu Yinghao almost cried.

"Sister, I have a favor to ask of you. Look at what that is."

The camera was reversed to give a close-up of the mutant leopard.

Ning Ke was so scared that she stood up, but didn't dare to say a word for fear of irritating the other party.

"Sister, can you ask it what it wants to do? It just pushed the cub to us."

Only then did Ning Ke see a small creature wriggling on the ground in front of the mutant leopard.

She cleared her throat, making her voice sound calm and gentle. "Hello, my name is Ning Ke. I can understand animal language. How can I help you?"

The leopard looked at the person in the picture in surprise, and after not feeling any threat, it slowly spoke.

【Roar~ Cub. 】

Ning Ke waited for it patiently, but it said "baby" and then stopped talking.

"Baby? What's wrong with you?"

The leopard's eyes suddenly lit up, "Look at you, cub! I'm going to kill you."

After saying that, she pushed the cub forward again. The little guy must not have been weaned yet. His limbs were obviously lacking in strength and he was staggering and unable to stand steadily.

"You mean to let them help take care of the cubs, and you help them clean up the mutant beasts?" Ning Ke guessed carefully.

[Roar~ Yes, there are many beasts, I will come.] The leopard puffed out his chest, looking domineering.

Ning Ke looked at the mutated leopard opposite with complicated eyes. Are all the advanced mutant beasts in the wild so smart now?

"Girl, what did it say again?" Xu Yinghao asked anxiously.

"Brother Xu, it means no harm. This is its cub. It wants you to help look after it while it goes to kill mutant beasts. There are many mutant beasts in this area. You must protect the cub well. It must be inconvenient for it to hunt with the cub."

When everyone heard this, they exclaimed in their hearts, "Oh my God, is this a spirit?"

"Then how long will the care last?" Xu Yinghao continued to ask.

It was obvious that the leopard opposite could really understand human language. It looked at Ning Ke and roared twice.

"If you want to enter the base, you must ensure that you will not hurt or eat anyone." Ning Ke looked at it with a serious expression.

Then they heard it roar several times, but Ning Ke stared at it intently, "Are you the only high-level mutant beast in this area?"

The leopard shook his head, "This is my territory, there's nothing else there."

Once he started talking, the words came out more and more fluently.

"We should discuss the request you mentioned, okay?"

[Yes! Sure.] I didn't expect it to be so easy to talk to.

Ning Ke nodded and looked at Xu Yinghao and others who were waiting anxiously.

"It wants you to help it look after its cubs until they can hunt on their own, but they can't leave this territory.

During this period, it provides the cub with food and wages."

"Sister, this territory belongs to someone else. It doesn't belong to the base."

Ning Ke thought for a moment and said, "Then let's bring the lord in to talk. It would be a great thing to have more powerful bodyguards in the territory."

Xu Yinghao immediately pulled the lord of this territory into the chat room and briefly explained what had happened.

Ning Ke pointed at the lord in the video and introduced him to the leopard mother. Since it didn't see the real person, it didn't have any other reaction.

[Can't it be him?] In the end, he raised his paw and pointed at Xu Yinghao and muttered.

"He can't. He has other tasks."

After hearing this, Golden Leopard looked at Xu Yinghao and could only nod in agreement.

"It would be better for Lord Gold to come here in person so it can get familiar with the scent."

Ning Ke made suggestions to the lord in the video, and the other party nodded quickly.

What a coincidence, this lord's surname is Jin.

"Oh, okay, thank you Miss Ning, I'll be right there."

He hung up the video call excitedly, and after getting ready, he led the team into the forest.
