In a post-apocalyptic world, she was reborn and became the queen of the wilderness.

'Ring ring ring'

Zhao Wei's cell phone suddenly rang.

The ordinary ringtone seemed to carry a death knell, making Zhao Wei inexplicably panic.

He hurriedly pulled out his phone, not even bothering to see who was calling, and hung up immediately.

But the next second, the phone rang again.

Before he could hang up again, Nan Ruanruan swung a thin vine and snatched the phone away.

Zhao Wei and the other two's pupils trembled, their eyes fixed on the vines that had not yet dissipated, their eyes filled with unconcealed panic.

How could vines suddenly grow on a person's hand?

She's a monster! She must be a monster!

The three of them swallowed hard at the same time, glancing at Nan Ruanruan who was looking down at her phone and seemed oblivious to them, and moved their feet while holding their breath.

"wanna die?"

Nan Ruanruan glanced at them, and the three of them immediately dared not move.

The words "Big Brother" were displayed on the flickering screen.

big brother?

Nan Ruanruan answered the call slowly and deliberately, and a rough and irritable voice came from the other end.

"Zhao Wei, you've got guts, daring to hang up on me! Take that stupid woman back to the Zhou family right now, I need to use her to threaten the old man..."

Nan Ruanruan gripped her phone tightly, a murderous glint in her eyes.

'It is your blessing to die for our young lady.'

The voice from my past life gradually overlapped with the voice on the phone.

This Zhou Qiang is the same Zhou Qiang from before.

Heaven was kind to her, sending her enemies to her side one after another.

Nan Ruanruan threw her still-connected phone into the fire, then turned to look at Zhao Wei and the other two with a blank expression.

The moment Zhao Wei saw Nan Ruanruan throw her phone away, he knew something was wrong.

He immediately pushed another bodyguard, Wang Zhi, towards Nan Ruanruan.

He then pulled Zhou Ran aside and rushed towards the door, preparing to break through the flames.

Nan Ruanruan finished off the unsuspecting Wang Zhi with a single slash, then spun around, sending the vine carrying the knife flying out of her hand.

Now that they have gotten what they wanted, there is no need for these two to continue living.

She won't leave herself any future troubles.

'Puff--'

Zhou Ran, who was almost at the door, stopped abruptly. The boning knife pierced through her chest, spraying blood, before spinning in the air and disappearing into Zhao Wei's body.

'puff--'

Zhao Wei clutched his pierced neck in disbelief and collapsed to the ground.

Nan Ruanruan put away the knife, turned around and got into the car, then looked down and tapped the navigation a few times.

A moment later, the car drove out of the 4S store and sped towards the Zhou family's house, following the route planned by the navigation.

Halfway there, Nan Ruanruan looked around at the surroundings.

Most shops were closed, with only a few large supermarkets open for business under the protection of the military, displaying signs indicating purchase limits and no price increases.

A long queue had already formed in front of the supermarket.

Even with the protection of soldiers, the survivors remained terrified, their faces pale and trembling incessantly.

Because the trees on both sides of the road were covered with a dense swarm of black crows.

Perhaps intimidated by the guns and torches in the soldiers' hands, they merely tilted their heads, staring intently at the survivors with their scarlet eyes, without attacking.

However, whenever a survivor leaves after purchasing supplies, a few crows fly away from the tree.

Nan Ruanruan glanced at it once and then looked away, driving around the back of the convoy. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw a dozen or so crows following her.

She didn't take it seriously and continued on her way to the Zhou family as quickly as possible.

More than half an hour later, Nan Ruanruan turned the car into an empty alley.

After disguising herself, she put the car into her spatial storage, walked to the entrance of the alley, and looked up at the distance.

The Zhou family's house is just a hundred meters away.

As for the crows that followed her, they had long since collapsed from exhaustion along the way due to the long journey.

The area in front of the Zhou family's gate was bustling with activity. More than a dozen skilled bodyguards stood guard on both sides of the main gate, watching truck after truck drive into the Zhou family's gate with their hands behind their backs.

These are all supplies that the Zhou family bought at a high price.

Nan Ruanruan narrowed her eyes as she watched the trucks and people coming and going, then turned and went back into the alley.

If she forced her way in, she could get in, but ultimately she wasn't the type to kill innocent people indiscriminately.

Injustice has its head, and debt has its owner.

Nan Ruanruan quickly crossed the alley, circled the surrounding buildings, and then silently crept to the end of the truck convoy.

She carefully pried open the cargo box door, then collected the supplies inside, jumped onto the truck, closed the door, and moved half of the supplies out to block the door again.

In case someone checks after entering the Zhou family's residence.

The car remained stationary for about ten minutes before starting to move.

Nan Ruanruan used her metal-based superpower to melt a small hole in the cargo box, using the hole to observe the situation outside.

Ten minutes later, the car drove into the Zhou family's house.

The Zhou family home was very large, resembling an ancient three-courtyard house. The car drove all the way to the innermost part of the house.

There were people stationed along the way.

Nan Ruan Ruan couldn't find a suitable opportunity to get off the bus.

Until the car passed through the last hanging flower gate, the car in front of it either broke down or something...

In short, the bodyguards on both sides of the door went to check the situation.

Nan Ruanruan seized the opportunity, packed up the supplies in the car, and got out.

Then he took out a bag of biomass pellet fuel, threw it onto the corridor, and then tossed a ball of fire into it.

The flames shot up and spread to the wooden handrail beside them.

"Oh no, there's a fire!"

Immediately, someone noticed the fire in the corridor and shouted in panic.

In an instant, everyone nearby ran towards the corridor.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Nan Ruanruan left and followed the truck all the way forward, successfully sneaking into the basement where the Zhou family stored supplies.

The basement was large, filled with boxes of supplies and neatly stacked rice and flour.

She called out to Little Fire Fox from within the spatial dimension, and looking at the seemingly empty basement, said, "Little guy, go find out where someone is..."

The little fox nodded and immediately ran forward.

Nan Ruanruan temporarily hid behind a bag of rice and flour, keeping a watchful eye on her surroundings.

Firefox was very efficient; it returned in less than five minutes.

"Is anyone down here?" Nan Ruanruan asked quietly.

The little fox nodded, signaling Nan Ruanruan to follow it.

After walking around various supply boxes for more than ten meters, Nan Ruanruan heard voices talking.

She walked forward silently, pressed herself against the supply box, and looked toward the source of the sound.

There were four people in total: one middle-aged person and two young people.

They all look a bit like Zhou Ran; they must be from the same family.

Without Zhou Qiang, whom she "longed for".

Could it be that she's mistaken, and Zhou Qiang isn't down there?

"Dad, Zhao Wei's phone is constantly busy. Could something have happened to him?"

One of the young men said anxiously.

He didn't care whether Zhao Wei lived or died, but he was worried about his sister.

"Don't panic, Zhao Wei is quite skilled. Maybe his phone is out of battery," another young man reassured him.

The middle-aged man frowned, his expression grave.

'Pat-pat-pat'

Just as Nan Ruanruan was craning her neck to eavesdrop, she suddenly heard footsteps behind her.

She quickly moved to the other side of the boxes, using the stacked boxes to perfectly conceal her figure.

The owner of the footsteps passed by the box.

With just one glance, Nan Ruanruan drew her knife; it was Zhou Qiang.

"Zhou Ran is in my hands."

Zhou Qiang strode up to the father and his two sons, his eyes gloomy. "If you want her to come back safely, give me half of the supplies here."
