Looking at the ravaged mountains and forests, houses, and emaciated people, Ruan Mianmian felt a pang of sorrow: "This land and the people living on it are suffering too much."

In later generations, this area will be full of beautiful scenery, but now, everything is still undeveloped and has been attacked by war, so everything looks somewhat desolate.

As they approached the bustling town, Zhang Ying instructed Ruan Mianmian to blacken her face and make her features look uglier.

Ruan Mianmian did as instructed, and mentally called out to the chubby system: "Baby, I'm so beautiful, what if a landlord or a small warlord snatches me away?"

The chubby system's soft voice was full of helplessness at the host's narcissism: "You can use mechanical dogs, drones, and any mobile phone in the mall. Within a two-kilometer radius of you, there is internet access to use these products to protect yourself."

Ruan Mianmian cried out, "This isn't enough! Drones and robotic dogs are civilian-use, they can't launch attacks, what's the use? Baby, do you want anything to happen to me?"

The chubby system was silent for a moment, then its soft, childlike voice said helplessly, "I've already replaced your drones and mechanical dogs with two unmodified versions. Also, you have bulletproof vests, pepper spray, and a mini pistol—it's in your backpack!"

"Baby, you're so good to me, I love you to death!" Ruan Mianmian was overjoyed, but also a little worried. "If the enemy captures these weapons of mine, won't they reveal our secrets?"

The chubby system's sweet voice blushed slightly at the straightforward praise, but it still obediently answered the question: "No, they can't see it."

Ruan Mianmian was delighted and showered the chubby system with compliments.

After that, he would tinker with the drone, the robotic dog, and the pistol every night until he was familiar with how to use them.

On this day, Ruan Mianmian and Zhang Ying arrived in Tanzhou.

As soon as they entered Tanzhou, the two saw a surging crowd rushing towards one place, with excited expressions on their faces.

Zhang Ying quickly grabbed an elderly woman and asked, "Auntie, is something the matter?"

The old woman hurriedly said, "A big tiger has been killed and is being paraded through the streets. That beast often comes down to eat pigs and chickens, and even people. It's good that it was killed!" After saying that, she shook off Zhang Ying and ran off excitedly.

Ruan Mianmian couldn't understand the language here, so she looked at Zhang Ying.

Zhang Ying hurriedly told Ruan Mianmian what she had heard from the old woman.

Oh, it was a tiger!

Ruan Mianmian nodded, but the next moment, her eyes lit up.

Zhang Ying asked curiously, "What?"

“It’s okay, let’s go take a look too.” After saying that, Ruan Mianmian grabbed Zhang Ying’s hand and excitedly ran with the crowd.

The tiger that appeared here was a South China tiger!

In her time, the South China tiger had already become extinct in the wild!

She absolutely had to go and see it; if possible, she wanted to bring a few South China tigers back to the modern world!

After running a short distance, the crowd stopped and gradually dispersed to stand on both sides of the street.

Ruan Mianmian and Zhang Ying also went to stand on the side of the street.

Just then, someone shouted from ahead, "It's here! It's here! What a fat worm! I wonder how many people it's eaten!"

Ruan Mianmian's spirits lifted, and she quickly followed the gazes of the crowd.

Just then, a truck slowly drove up.

On the truck, a dead tiger lay quietly, its colorful fur possessing a majestic beauty.

Ruan Mianmian looked at the tiger and saw that although it had lost its life force, the aura of a top predator still remained!

This is the tiger, the king of beasts!

The South China tiger, which became extinct in later generations!

The truck that had been displaying the tiger quickly left, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

Ruan Mianmian and Zhang Ying went to find a place to stay. After booking a room in a stilted house inn, the two decided to go out for a stroll.

Ruan Mianmian had never been to the Xiangjiang River before, so she grabbed Zhang Ying and excitedly headed straight for the riverbank.

As soon as they approached the riverbank, they heard a woman's screams and a child's cries.

The two exchanged a glance, their faces grim, and ran toward the source of the sound.

After running a short distance, they saw a group of people staring blankly at the water's edge on the dock ahead.

Ruan Mianmian and Zhang Ying pushed aside the crowd and squeezed forward with all their might, finally reaching the very front.

On the deck of a boat by the water, several men with Asian features were hurriedly pulling a beautiful woman aboard.

The woman was tightly holding a little girl of about four or five years old in one arm, while her other hand gripped a tow rope on the shore, repeatedly pleading, "Please, please let me go, please—"

The little girl in her arms flailed her arms and legs at the man trying to take her mother, crying out in a shrill voice, "Don't take my mother away, don't—"

Several men with Asian features were clearly angered by the little girl's kicks and punches, and one of them raised his hand and slapped the little girl.

Beside them, an impatient man pointed a gun at the beautiful woman: "Paying back debts is a matter of course. If you don't come with us, then die!"

Seeing this, Ruan Mianmian trembled with rage. Without thinking, she shouted sharply, "Stop—"

After she called out, she realized it was a duet.

It turned out that Zhang Ying had also stopped drinking.

Realizing something, the two immediately exchanged glances: "Don't go, I'll do it."

However, no one backed down; they all moved forward together.

They had only taken two steps when they were pulled back by someone behind them. A hoarse and anxious voice came from behind: "Children, don't go. Four people went up before and were all killed. You are girls. If you go, you won't be able to save Sister Jin Sheng, and you'll lose your lives too."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Mianmian glanced around and saw four figures lying in pools of blood below the boat.

Having never seen a dead person before, she was startled when she suddenly saw one and instinctively took a step back. But after only one step, she immediately started walking forward again, her steps much more hurried than before.

She couldn't just stand by and watch a mother and daughter be taken away like that.

After taking only a few steps, Ruan Mianmian was grabbed by Zhang Ying and pushed backward.

Zhang Ying turned to her anxiously and said, "Don't go, I'll go." Mianmian is so beautiful, if she shows her face, she'll definitely be arrested.

The men who were trying to grab the women saw Ruan Mianmian and Zhang Ying shoving each other. Although they couldn't see their faces clearly, they could tell from their slender figures that they were obviously beautiful. So they whistled, "You're both young and beautiful girls. What do you want to say to us? Why don't you come aboard and we can have a drink and talk it out? Huh? Hahahaha..."

Ruan Mianmian felt a surge of hatred in her heart upon hearing this, but she also came to her senses.

If things just continue like this, she and Zhang Ying will definitely suffer losses, so they must be fully prepared.

She then released the robotic dog and the drone, and quickly set up the tablet.

While Ruan Mianmian was doing all this, Zhang Ying had already rushed to Jin Sheng's wife and daughter. She said sternly to the men on the deck, "This is the land of our Dongguo Kingdom. How dare you Chrysanthemum Kingdom people bully our people like this? Do you want to start a war?"

They're from the Chrysanthemum Kingdom!

Ruan Mianmian felt a deep resentment.
