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

Lei Shi didn't suspect anything.

It believed that under its thunderous and brutal rule, no alien species would dare to betray it.

At that very moment, the Black Wolf King and the White Bear King, who were resting in the Haishi Forest Park, sneezed simultaneously.

The wolf and the bear exchanged a glance, then touched their noses and went back to sleep.

II. The aliens were searching enthusiastically, while Nan Ruanruan was eating heartily in the space.

Snacks, cooked food, desserts, and raw marinated food were scattered all over the floor.

Huo Huo and the others skillfully picked out their favorites and ate heartily.

The little cubs surrounded Nan Ruanruan, drooling and staring at her longingly.

Although they hadn't been in the space for long, they already knew who the owner of the space was.

Nan Ruanruan chuckled and gave them some raw meat and fruit, as well as milk and goat milk that had been provided to the cubs ever since they entered the space.

The little ones weren't picky at all, and started eating with their heads down.

Nan Ruanruan continued to look outside.

One after another, the II mutants returned, all dejected and unwilling to look the golden tiger in the eye.

Seeing their appearance, the golden tiger knew that they had not found the humans the Rat King had mentioned.

It squinted, stepped onto the ruins, and sniffed them.

It definitely has a human scent, and it's only found in this place.

Could it be that the human is still here, but they just can't see him?

Unaware that it had inadvertently guessed the truth, the golden tiger decided to stay on the ruins and wait for its fate, relying solely on its intuition.

The other II variants were assigned to guard the surrounding buildings.

Nan Ruanruan paused, staring at the golden tiger that was only two meters away from her.

"You said-"

Huo Huo and the others looked up at Nan Ruanruan at the same time, waiting for her to continue.

"Forget it, I'll try it myself first and then discuss it with you."

Nan Ruanruan stood up, brushed off the crumbs of pastry that had fallen on her, and then her expression suddenly turned serious.

She raised her hand, and a meter-long golden sword appeared in her grasp.

A yellowish-brown light flashed above.

The power of a level two earth-type ability combined with the sharpness of a level two metal-type ability—

I wonder if it can break through the defenses of the Level 3 II alien species.

Let her give it a try!

Amidst the bewildered looks of Huo Huo and the others, Nan Ruanruan seized the moment when the golden tiger lowered its head to lick its paws and appeared in space.

Take advantage of their unpreparedness and kill them.

The golden longsword drew a dazzling crescent arc in mid-air, slashing straight at the golden tiger.

The golden tiger's ears twitched, and it leaped forward the instant the golden broadsword was less than a centimeter away from its body.

Nan Ruanruan did not give up after missing her first attack. She stomped her right foot heavily on the ground and chased after him.

'Roar--'

The golden tiger ran forward less than three meters before suddenly braking, turning around, and snapping its jaws at Nan Ruanruan.

Sharp teeth gleamed coldly in the moonlight, carrying a nauseating, bloody, and putrid stench.

Nan Ruanruan met the attack head-on without flinching, slashing at the exposed fangs of the golden tiger with her sword.

With a 'ding', only a small notch appeared on the fang.

The golden tiger then thrust forward with a sudden burst of energy.

Nan Ruanruan felt a powerful force coming from the golden longsword, and her body involuntarily retreated.

The knife in his hand made two sharp cracking sounds as spiderweb-like cracks spread rapidly across the entire blade.

If it weren't for the supernatural power of the sword, the golden longsword would probably have already turned into dust and scattered in the wind.

Nan Ruan Ruan took more than ten steps back before stopping.

Before she could regain her footing, the golden tiger pounced again, its huge claws reaching for her.

She swiftly dodged to the side, avoiding the golden tiger's claws, and swung her repaired golden longsword in a backhand strike at the tiger.

The golden tiger let out a low growl, as if in pain.

Nan Ruanruan's eyes lit up. Could the combination of two level-two superpowers break through the defense of a level-three II alien species?

Upon closer inspection, the golden tiger had only lost a few hairs and was completely unharmed.

Nan Ruanruan: "......"

I thought her attack had worked, at least scratching the golden tiger, but... that's it?

Even though she had already guessed that the golden tiger's fur would have high defense, this result still shocked Nan Ruanruan.

Alright, alright, this won't cost you your life.

"Roar—" That last strike completely enraged the golden tiger.

With a long howl, the II variants, which had been restless, finally dared to move and rushed towards Nan Ruanruan.

"Bullying the weak with numbers, shameless!"

Nan Ruanruan snorted coldly and threw out more than a dozen grenades in one go before the II aliens could overwhelm her.

These grenades streaked through the air like scattering flowers, flying towards the II aliens.

The other half headed straight for the golden tiger.

Then, she gave the golden tiger a wicked smile, "Let me show you what a grenade tastes like!"

Then, she quickly flashed back into space and disappeared from the sight of the II aliens.

The moment the golden tiger caught a whiff of gunpowder, a bad premonition flashed through its mind, and it ran away into the distance without looking back.

It moved extremely fast, swiftly moving away from the grenade's blast radius like a gust of wind.

Other Type II variants have also witnessed the power of grenades.

They fled in terror.

Those who ran fast escaped unharmed, while those who ran slowly were engulfed by the powerful shockwave and intense flames from the grenade explosion.

The golden tiger, already far away, coldly watched the II aliens struggle and die in the explosion, its heart unmoved.

What we have no shortage of now are human and alien corpses.

It can create a group of subordinates who only obey its orders whenever it wants.

This is a unique ability of its, far more useful than the superpowers of humans and other species.

The golden tiger licked its lips, its raised chin revealing its pride and smugness.

The golden tiger was annoyed just thinking about Nan Ruanruan.

Despicable humans, despicable human weapons!

Most importantly, where did those despicable humans go?

The golden tiger waited until the firelight had almost died down before turning back, its eyes constantly scanning its surroundings.

The surrounding buildings had been almost completely destroyed by the repeated disturbances, and the ruins were piled up like mountains.

Lei Shi, leading several lions, walked over from the other side of the ruins and bumped right into the golden tiger, who was about to climb up the pile of rubble to investigate the situation.

'Roar-roar-'

Lei Shi asked the golden tiger in a low voice what had happened here.

The golden tiger didn't hide anything and told Lei Hu everything that had just happened.

Upon hearing this, Lei Shi's mind flashed with the image of Nan Ruanruan.

Could the human girl in the golden tiger's mouth be the same person as the human girl it saw?

If it's the same person...

Lei Shi looked back in the direction of the refuge, a thought vaguely rising in his mind.

If they want to achieve their ultimate goal, they'll probably have to deal with that human girl first.

'Roar-roar-'

The golden tiger took two steps forward, leaned close to Lei Shi, and whispered a few words in its ear.

The voice was low, and even with Tuanzi stretching out its little paws and pulling its ears as far as it could, it still couldn't hear what the golden tiger and Leishi were saying.

I can't hear you~

Tuanzi scratched her head, looking quite troubled.

"fine..."

Nan Ruanruan was still rubbing her wrist, which was still sore from the shock of the golden tiger, but her gaze fell through the space to the lion standing next to Lei Shi.

The lion was secretly eavesdropping on the conversation between Lei Shi and the golden tiger, and was making a mental note of it.

These are all bargaining chips it will use to get human girls to help rescue the lionesses and cubs in the future.

Nan Ruanruan is also preparing to win over the male lion who has been actively conveying information to her.

By sheer coincidence, the man and the lion reached a consensus without the other's knowledge.

Lei Shi and the golden tiger talked in private for a full half hour before stopping. Lei Shi then led the lions back to the front of the alien group.

'Roar--'

A lion's roar that sent chills down the spines of the survivors echoed across the entire battlefield, reverberating in front of the refuge.

The survivors, awakened by the commotion, rushed out of their dwellings in a panic, some even reaching the city walls.

"what happened?"

"Are the aliens going to attack again?"

"No, let's just let things remain in this stalemate!"

Now that we can go out from the rear to find supplies, there is no need to fight to the death with the aliens at the front.

The survivors silently prayed that the aliens would not attack.

"Look! All the aliens are moving!"

A cry of alarm came from the city wall, and the survivors felt a jolt of fear, but then became puzzled.

They saw the entire alien swarm explode like fireworks, rushing off in different directions.

Some ran to the sides of the battlefield, while others rushed towards the refuge.

"Ready to fight!"

Upon seeing the alien species rushing towards the refuge, Zhang Yiwen and the other two simultaneously gave orders.

The three refuge sites were activated simultaneously, with vanguard teams and weapons in place immediately, ready to launch an attack at any time.

"No, wait a little longer!"

Zhang Yiwen suddenly raised his hand to signal the survivors to calm down, a look of doubt flashing in his eyes.

The aliens only rushed forward a short distance before stopping.

The pile of corpses in front of the refuge had been burned by the survivors, but the pile of corpses near the alien group had not.

Those corpses were dragged back by the aliens to be their food.

There were humans and other species.

At this moment, the aliens all stopped in front of the pile of corpses.

They kept rummaging through things, as if they were looking for something.

"Let Bai Xiao and the others come closer and take a look," Zhang Yiwen said to a young man with a buzz cut next to him.

The young man with the buzz cut immediately raised his hand, which was tied with a flashlight, and made several hand gestures towards the fighter jets that had been hovering above the alien swarm.

Bai Xiao noticed the flashlight beam behind him, and after carefully discerning its meaning, he descended a little.

While observing the situation below, he adjusted the fighter jet to a state where it could be engaged in combat at any time.

The pile of corpses had been completely ransacked, scattered haphazardly on the ground, emitting a foul stench of decay.

The mutants dragged the larger mutant and human corpses toward the golden tiger.

What are they trying to do?

Bai Xiao frowned, just about to follow in his fighter jet, when a white-headed bulbul with a wingspan of three meters attacked from below, unleashing a series of wind blades from its mouth.

Bai Xiao's expression changed, and he hurriedly controlled the fighter jet to dodge while firing at the white-haired old man.

With a flap of its wings, the white-headed bulbul quickly rose above the fighter jet, nimbly dodging the attack.

At the same time, another attack was launched on the White Owl from above.

Bai Xiao's expression changed, and he hurriedly controlled the fighter jet to retreat. Seeing this, the other fighter jet quickly turned around and charged upwards to provide support.

Two fighter jets, one above and one below, fired their cannons simultaneously, creating a dense line of fire.

Forced to temporarily retreat, the white-headed bulbul flapped its wings and continued to fly upwards, letting out a sharp cry as it looked down.

A 'chirp—' came quickly from below.

Bird species that are friendly with the white-headed bulbul flapped their wings and flew into the air to form an encirclement, subtly surrounding the two fighter jets.

Bai Xiao's gaze darkened as he looked at the six bird-like aliens surrounding them.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for them to take care of both the beginning and the end.

Whether the nose or tail of a fighter jet is damaged, the final outcome is always a crash.

Since the outcome is already decided, we might as well drag both of them down with us.

White Owl had made up his mind, and his gaze toward the white-headed bulbuls grew increasingly fierce.

"Provide support immediately!"

Seeing that the fighter jets responsible for gathering intelligence were in trouble, Zhang Yiwen immediately waved to the Flying Eagle Commando team that was poised to launch from behind.

More than twenty fighter jets that had been waiting for their chance to fight took off simultaneously and advanced to provide support at top speed.

'Roar--'

Seeing the fighter jets that had come to provide support, Lei Shi suddenly ordered the White-headed Bulbul and the others to retreat.

The white-headed bulbul and its flock of birds of different species were puzzled.

Human fighter jets are indeed very powerful and their airframes are very sturdy, but they are not indestructible and are not as agile as humans.

If we just keep maneuvering, humanity will inevitably be the one to lose in the end.

However, no matter how confused they are, they still have to obey the orders.

The white-headed bulbuls and other bird species retreated and fled, not daring to question or disobey Lei Shi's orders.

White Owl watched the bird-like aliens fly towards the distant buildings, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes as well.

Why did they back out? This is not in line with the usual behavior of the aliens.

Bai Xiao became increasingly convinced that there was a secret in the area ahead shrouded in night, where he couldn't see clearly.

Just as he was about to risk chasing after them to investigate, the supporting fighter jets arrived beside him.

Let's retreat!

Captain Shi Feng made a hand gesture to Bai Xiao and Zhou Xun in another fighter jet.

Obeying orders and following commands is a soldier's duty.

Even though Bai Xiao really wanted to go and find out more, he nodded to Shi Feng along with Zhou Xun before giving the order.

All fighter jets returned to their evacuation points.

After landing, Bai Xiao and Zhou Xun immediately went up to the city wall and told Zhang Yiwen, Zhao Mingzheng and Li Heng everything they had seen.

"A new group of mutants has arrived at Qingfeng Garden, and it seems that humanoid II mutants are mixed in among them."

"Like?"

Zhang Yiwen frowned; he didn't like answers that carried uncertainty.

"It's too far away; we really can't see what's going on at Qingfeng Garden."

Bai Xiao sighed and answered truthfully.

"However, it seems there are survivors over there."

Zhou Xun continued, "Those loud bangs just now were from grenade explosions."

"Hand grenade..."

Li Heng, standing to the side, was taken aback. "Our people haven't moved yet..."

Only military personnel have access to highly lethal weapons like hand grenades.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Mingzheng's expression changed drastically. "Could it be that girl Ruan Ruan?"
