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

Soon, the little fire fox ran out and shook its head at Nan Ruanruan.

This means there is no danger.

The entrance was a bit low, so Nan Ruanruan had to crouch down to squeeze in.

The cave was pitch black.

She took out an emergency light and hung it on the stone wall next to her, and the view immediately became bright.

Nan Ruanruan looked around the cave.

The place isn't big, about ten square meters. You walk in for a little over three meters and you'll reach the end.

There were two straw mats on the ground at the very back, and in front of the mats was a fire that had long since gone out.

It was probably left behind by staff members responsible for patrolling Wushan.

Nan Ruanruan used vines to make a simple windproof curtain at the doorway, then walked to the grass mat, sat down, took out some biomass pellet fuel and charcoal, and quickly started a fire.

Then he placed an iron pot on top, took out three large bowls of mutton soup and poured them into the pot, and then added two jin of mutton.

The rich and fragrant aroma of mutton soup filled the cave.

The little fox climbed onto Nan Ruanruan's knees, stood upright, and stared intently at the soup in the iron pot with its round eyes.

"Want to eat?"

Nan Ruanruan rubbed its soft little ears and asked with a smile.

The little Firefox nodded eagerly.

"Okay, but it's a bit spicy. Try a little first, and if you can handle it, I'll get you a bigger bowl."

She added a lot of pepper to the soup because she was worried the little one wouldn't be able to handle the spiciness.

As Nan Ruanruan spoke, she took out a small spoon, scooped up a little soup, blew on it, and fed it to the little fire fox's mouth.

The little fox stuck out its tongue, licked the soup into its mouth, smacked its lips, and then its eyes lit up.

"Woo!"

Get a bigger bowl! Get a bigger bowl!

Nan Ruanruan chuckled and, as it wished, gave it a larger bowl.

Lots of soup, little meat.

Then he took out the half-eaten pig leg and said, "Eat this too."

If the little guy is an adult hybrid, she can feed it human food every day.

But it was still a little cub, and every day it ate food that didn't require much effort to chew, so its teeth, which were still developing, were going to be ruined.

The little fox slurped up the mutton soup while nodding and whimpering.

It also loves to eat pork leg.

Nan Ruanruan ignored it and started eating directly from the pot.

After eating, she washed the pot, put it back on the fire, and filled it with lake water to keep it burning.

Then he walked to the cave entrance and scattered the fur he had plucked from the black bear outside the cave.

The scent of black bears can help them avoid a lot of trouble.

Next, lake water was drawn out from the space, and an ice door, a full meter thick, was made that fit the cave entrance 98% perfectly.

The remaining 2% gap will be used as an air vent.

If there is an alien attack at night, this ice door can not only block the attack, but also serve as an alarm to alert her.

Nan Ruanruan turned around and walked back into the cave, took out a cold-proof tent, and set it up neatly.

Lay out a thick mattress, and then place a pillow and a thick quilt on top.

After all this was done, it was completely dark outside.

The once quiet Mist Mountain suddenly became lively, with the sounds of adult, ferocious alien species hunting their prey echoing from time to time.

The little fox paced anxiously around the cave entrance a few times.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Nan Ruanruan was already used to this perilous environment, and she stood by the fire waiting for the water to heat up.

Upon hearing this, the little fox glanced outside and then ran to snuggle into Nan Ruanruan's arms.

The man and the fox watched quietly as the flames danced and steam rose slowly from the pot.

After the water was heated, Nan Ruanruan washed away the dirt and changed into clean thermal clothes before crawling into the tent to rest.

The little fox lay beside the dying fire, yawned, and then fell into a deep sleep.

———??———

As the sun rises, sunlight filters through the dense branches of the pine and cypress forest north of Misty Mountain, leaving dappled patches of light on the ground.

A terrestrial sika deer frantically fled among them.

Nan Ruanruan kept her eyes fixed on the sika deer ahead, occasionally flicking out a few leaves to force it to change its course.

The snow was too soft, and the mutated plants below kept swarming and attacking from time to time, which greatly reduced her already slow speed, which was not as fast as the deer.

"Little guy, go to the stone slab diagonally below and wait for my instructions."

Nan Ruanruan flung out a few more flying leaves, forcing the sika deer to flee diagonally downwards.

Just as the sika deer was about to step onto the stone slab in its panic, Nan Ruanruan shouted, "Little guy, burn it!"

Upon receiving the order, the little fire fox spewed out a burst of flames, heading straight for the sika deer's face.

'Yo—'

The sika deer jerked its body backward, barely avoiding the flames.

Taking advantage of this opening, Nan Ruanruan quickly rushed behind the sika deer, then swung out two vines, which wrapped around its front and hind legs respectively, and pulled hard.

The sika deer stumbled and fell to the ground.

Nan Ruanruan lunged forward, slammed her knee into its back, and plunged a knife into its neck, swiftly ending its life.

After digging out the energy stone, she sat down on the sika deer and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

She was sweating profusely from the heat of the chase.

The little fox jumped into her arms, panting with its tongue lolling out.

After resting for a while, Nan Ruanruan got up with the little fire fox in her arms, threw the deer carcass into the snack shop, and continued to look for a new target.

"Woo!"

The little fox spotted a gray rabbit lying in a snow pit not far away, its brow gleaming with an earthy yellow light.

Another earth-type variant.

"You go!"

Nan Ruanruan gently placed the little fire fox on the ground.

Upon landing, the little fox eagerly pounced on the gray rabbit.

'grumble'

Hearing the noise, the gray rabbit suddenly looked up.

Upon seeing the little fox, its ruby-like eyes widened suddenly, and it quickly turned around, kicked off the snow pit, and leaped forward.

Nan Ruanruan stood still, observing the little fire fox's actions as it chased the rabbit.

Logically, a fox cub's hunting skills should be taught by its parents.

But it has no parents, only her.

She should take on the responsibility of teaching it.

What she wanted was a strong fox companion who could stand on his own.

Instead of a little pet that just snuggles in her arms and rolls around in her arms every day.

Soon, the gray rabbit was bitten to death by the little fire fox.

"Woo!"

The little guy dragged the gray rabbit, which was even bigger than itself, back to Nan Ruanruan's side, tilted its head back, and grinned, begging for praise.

"Not bad!"

Nan Ruanruan was generous with her praise, squatting down to pat its little head and pointing out its shortcomings.

"However, next time, don't reveal your whereabouts so quickly. Use the things around you to cover your body, sneak up and attack before attacking, so as not to let the prey escape in advance."

As she spoke, Nan Ruanruan pointed to the trees and bushes near the snow pit, things that could conceal the little guy's figure.

The little fox squatted on the ground, raised its paw and scratched its ear, seriously considering Nan Ruanruan's words.

Nan Ruanruan didn't disturb it. She picked up the rabbit next to her, dug out the energy stone, and threw the corpse into the snack room.

Then he looked up, searching for a new target.
