“We need about 50 of each species, both male and female.” Ruan Mianmian sighed, “In our area, the Chinese paddlefish has been declared extinct, while the baiji dolphin is functionally extinct.”

"They're all extinct? How could this be?" Zhang Ying was somewhat surprised, but not particularly moved.

In an era when people struggled to survive, all she cared about was the survival of people and the nation; she had little interest in the extinction of an animal.

Ruan Mianmian said, "It's nothing more than a few reasons, such as overfishing and environmental pollution. After we became more affluent, we also have more energy to pay attention to the various animals and species that survive in our country. We were all quite saddened to learn that the Chinese paddlefish and the baiji dolphin had become extinct."

"I see." Zhang Ying nodded. "I'll have someone take care of it as soon as possible."

Ruan Mianmian nodded, thanked Zhang Ying, and did not tell her about the South China tiger.

She had considered bringing some South China tigers back to the modern world, but capturing tigers alive was too difficult; one wrong move could kill someone, so she decided not to ask anyone for help in capturing them.

She'll think of another way later; if she really can't come up with a solution, then she'll just give up.

That evening, after all the guests had left, Ruan Mianmian asked the chubby baby, "If I put away the mall and enter the jungle, can I bring the South China tigers within my perception range into the mall's animal enclosure?"

“Okay,” the chubby baby replied, unable to resist taking credit, “It’s all thanks to the network, mechanical dog, and drone I gave you before! Without them, you wouldn’t have been able to sense the tiger at all.”

Ruan Mianmian said with a smile, "That's why I said you're the best baby!"

The chubby baby was overjoyed.

Ruan Mianmian was afraid of dying, so she carefully checked the detection range of the infrared thermal imager on the drone and confirmed that it could detect human activity on the ground at an altitude of 10km, so she felt relieved.

She can be detected at a distance of 10km. Even in poor environmental conditions and with a large number of factors affecting her safety, if the distance is reduced to 1km, she is still safe!

With this in mind, Ruan Mianmian revised her plan.

She originally planned to close the mall and leave this world on November 16th, but now it seems she has to leave earlier. She needs to go into the southern mountains to find the South China tiger.

She will leave after collecting the Chinese paddlefish and the baiji dolphin.

The next day, Ruan Mianmian told Zhang Ying about the plan, and at the end asked her, "Do you still need grain seeds?"

Zhang Ying laughed and said, "No need, we've taken enough." The ordinary people who came to shop here also bought grain seeds from the mall. In the future, this ancient land will be planted with high-yield grain seeds, and that's enough.

Ruan Mianmian nodded: "That's good. These next few days, think carefully about what else you need and buy it as soon as possible." By the end, her face was filled with the sorrow of parting.

Zhang Ying was also reluctant to part with Ruan Mianmian, but she hoped that Ruan Mianmian could return to her wonderful world as soon as possible, so she just hugged Ruan Mianmian and didn't say anything.

That day, Ruan Mianmian spread the news that the mall would be closing early, urging those who could make it to come and shop quickly, and those who lived far away not to come. She even asked the newspaper to help spread the message.

Many people were extremely reluctant to part with it upon hearing the news, and at the same time went on another shopping spree.

Two days before Ruan Mianmian decided to leave, there were enough Chinese paddlefish and baiji dolphins.

At the aquarium, Ruan Mianmian watched these treasures swimming happily in the water and couldn't help but smile.

But the next moment, my nose started to sting.

She can bring animals to the modern world, but she can't take the people here with her; she can only leave them to experience war and chaos.

This is the darkest moment for this great nation, a period of painful transition for this great nation.

Besides selling grain at a low price to give them a full meal, there was nothing else she could do.

On the day before she left, Ruan Mianmian treated Zhang Ying, Liu Fen, Comrade Liu, and others to hot pot at noon.

At the table, she raised her wine glass: "I'm leaving tomorrow, and I don't know what to say as a blessing. It seems like any words would be superfluous."

This is a somber time, and all blessings seem insignificant.

Should we wish them a bright future?

But what followed was the long eight-year War of Resistance against Japan. Who could say that their future was bright?

Wishing you good health?

How many people survived eight years of war?

Even if they survived, prices would rise during wartime, many fields would be abandoned, and everyone would go hungry. How could they expect to be healthy?

These thoughts flashed through Ruan Mianmian's mind, making her feel incredibly sad.

She arrived in an era of national catastrophe, but she was powerless to change anything.

Zhang Ying hugged Ruan Mianmian tightly and patted her shoulder forcefully: "Don't be sad for us, and don't worry about us. Go back and wait, we will create a better future!"

"Okay!" Ruan Mianmian choked up.

After finishing their meal, Ruan Mianmian got up and saw Zhang Ying and her group out of the mall.

It was already winter, and the cold wind howled, chilling one to the bone.

Ruan Mianmian offered her blessing: "I hope everyone is doing well!"

"It will be alright. Once we defeat those Chrysanthemum Country people, we will create a prosperous era!" Zhang Ying, Liu Fen, Comrade Liu, and others were all full of confidence.

Looking at the young faces before her, Ruan Mianmian nodded earnestly: "Okay!"

When she read history books, she saw the brave deeds of our country's patriots and saw many soldiers charging into battle under the hail of bullets with their own flesh and blood. She always felt that they were exceptionally brave and strong iron-blooded warriors. But now, standing face to face with them, she realized that some of those soldiers were young college students like her, and some even looked very green.

Judging from their appearance, they are all ordinary people, without any superhuman abilities or invulnerability.

What truly commands respect from later generations and makes heroes heroes is the soldiers' unwavering will and their ideals of sacrificing their lives for the cause.

After seeing Zhang Ying and her group off, Ruan Mianmian remained in a low mood.

In the afternoon, Mr. Lin, whom Ruan Mianmian had arranged to meet, arrived.

Ruan Mianmian was in a bad mood and not in the mood to entertain him, but what she was about to say was very important, so she cheered herself up and invited him to the reception room.

Mr. Lin asked anxiously, "Fairy Ruan, you said you know about the future of the Eastern School and me. Now, can you tell me?"

Ruan Mianmian looked at the person in front of her and slowly said, "I need to tell you something first. I am not a fairy. I am a human being just like you."

"You're human too?" Mr. Lin asked in astonishment, then looked around. "But how do you have such a magnificent building? How do you have so many strange and wonderful things?"

Ruan Mianmian said, "Because I come from the future. To be precise, I come from 90 years in the future."

"What?" Mr. Lin was stunned.

Ruan Mianmian didn't speak, but quietly waited for Mr. Lin to come to his senses.

Mr. Lin quickly regained his senses and looked anxiously at Ruan Mianmian: "What about my future? Also, did our faction win?"

Ruan Mianmian did not answer his question, but said, "This year is the 35th year. Two years from now, on July 7th, the Chrysanthemum Kingdom will lead a large army to attack our entire country, attempting to invade and occupy our nation."
