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

When I woke up again, the sun was already high in the sky.

The warm spring breeze, carrying the scent of grass and trees, sweeps across the earth, bringing life to everything.

"Well--"

Nan Ruanruan crawled out of the tent and stretched.

Huo Huo and Xiao Bu Dian had already woken up and were playing with several red pandas not far away.

Xiao Bai has returned as well.

When Huo Huo saw that she was awake, she immediately dropped the little panda and ran towards her.

Little Dot and Little White also ran over.

Nan Ruan first leaned forward and carefully examined the little one.

Its fur is smooth and it looks energetic; it seems to have fully recovered.

She patted Xiaobai's head again, her eyes softening, "You've worked hard~"

Her previous purpose in having Xiaobai deliver the note was to warn Zhang Yiwen and the others to be wary of Lei Shi.

Lei Shi acted faster, and the note ultimately failed to serve its purpose.

"Woo~"

Huo Huo jumped onto Xiao Budian's head, turned its head and raised its chin towards the outside of the forest park.

Nan Ruanruan looked in the direction it was pointing.

A lush green expanse stretched before my eyes, where only birds could be seen flying freely.

"Is someone there?" Nan Ruanruan guessed. "Looking for me?"

"Woo!" Huo Huo nodded.

"Let's go over and have a look."

Nan Ruanruan sat on Xiaobudian's lap, and Xiaobudian leisurely led her and Huohuo down the mountain.

Little White followed beside him.

On the way, Nan Ruanruan took out a bag of instant noodles and started munching on them.

A raccoon, its belly exposed and comfortably sunbathing, heard the sound and curiously looked up at her.

"Want some?"

Nan Ruanruan waved the instant noodles in her hand at it.

Raccoon: ? ? ?

“No, why are you so eager to fight each other…” Nan Ruanruan withdrew her hand again.

Raccoon: ? ? ?

"Here, have some of these!" Nan Ruanruan tossed over some high-quality hazelnuts.

'Coo coo~'

A squirrel half a meter tall fell from the sky, landing directly on a hazelnut.

The raccoon slowly got up, and just as the squirrel was about to land, it suddenly flicked its tail.

'Whoosh—'

The squirrel did more than a dozen somersaults in mid-air before falling flat on its back onto the thick layer of fallen leaves.

It wasn't annoyed. It quickly got up and ran back to the raccoon, making "coo coo" noises all the while.

Good neighbor, good neighbor, please share some with me!

The raccoon ignored the warning, stuffed the hazelnuts into its den little by little, and then continued to lie leisurely at the entrance of the burrow, basking in the sun.

The squirrel scratched its ears and cheeks, looking extremely anxious.

The clever alien species had already run ahead to the road that Nan Ruanruan and her companions were bound to take.

I imitated the raccoon by exposing my belly, even though the place I was lying on was covered with lush green leaves above, and no sunlight could penetrate it.

At the same time, he couldn't help but steal glances at Nan Ruanruan.

Once she realized that she didn't intend to stop to give him food, he immediately got up and ran to lie down a little further ahead.

Nan Ruanruan couldn't help but laugh at what she saw, and in the end, she gave all the food to everyone.

Meat, nuts, fruit... all sorts of things.

The aliens, having received their food, left satisfied, clutching their provisions.

Are they begging for food?

Of course not.

With such a large forest to guard it, how could it lack food?

They were merely using this opportunity to befriend the humans favored by their leader, to get acquainted with them, and perhaps get her to put in a good word for them.

Having the boss's favor makes life easier!

Hehe, even these mutants understand human relationships and social niceties~

Upon arriving at the entrance of Haishi Forest Park, Nan Ruanruan saw that the person waiting outside was Zhou Zhou.

When Zhou Zhou saw her, his eyes lit up, and he strode over.

'Hiss~'

The python guarding the entrance greeted Nan Ruanruan before disappearing into the dense forest behind, giving the two space to talk.

"Miss Nan, the commander sent me to deliver energy stones to you."

Zhou Zhou pointed to the small truck parked not far away.

"Energy Stone?"

Nan Ruanruan asked in surprise, "Didn't we agree to wait until we defeated the alien species before dividing the spoils?"

Zhou Zhou smiled slightly and explained, "The commander said that leading mutants like Lei Shi and the Golden Tiger still need your and your mutant partners' help."

In this matter, he only trusts you.

Only if you are strong enough can you restrain them and buy us time to defeat the other alien species.

So we'll move the energy stones from the shelter for you to use first.

"I see." Nan Ruanruan understood and cupped her hands in greeting to Zhou Zhou. "Then I will not refuse the commander's trust and goodwill."

She walked to the back of the truck, where Zhou Zhou had already opened the door.

Inside, there were more than a dozen large boxes neatly arranged, with various colors of light faintly shining through the gaps.

"Big python, call some of your friends to help me move the boxes!" Nan Ruanruan turned and shouted into the dense forest.

"Hiss~" The python, which had been resting with its eyes closed at the edge of the dense forest, immediately responded to her.

Before long, a group of monkeys ran out of the forest and darted to the back of the truck.

In groups of three to five, some jumped onto the vehicle to move boxes, while others stood by the door to receive boxes.

Zhou Zhou was stunned by their orderly demeanor.

She couldn't help but speak up, "Even after being in this apocalyptic world for so long, I'm still shocked by the increasingly human-like behavior of animals. I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing..."

"Being humane is always better than being completely beastly."

Nan Ruanruan looked at the monkeys and said softly, "Human nature has both good and evil."

The positive side makes other species more friendly towards humans, giving humans a chance to breathe and grow, and even causing them to turn against us and help us.

If they were all evil, we couldn't just stand here and watch them work so easily.

“That’s true.” Zhou Zhou nodded in agreement.

In no time, all the boxes on the truck were unloaded.

'Waaaaa~'

The Monkey King approached Nan Ruanruan, pointed to the box on the ground, and awaited Nan Ruanruan's next instructions.

"Let's move into the woods first."

Nan Ruanruan said to the Monkey King, then turned to look at Xiaobai, "Xiaobai, you go with him."

Although these variants are suppressed by the Golden Spotted Tiger, they probably wouldn't dare to harm her things.

But what if...?

The allure of energy stones is irresistible to many.

Xiao Bai nodded and followed.

The monkey king directed the monkey troop to carry the boxes into the dense forest.

At this moment, the golden-spotted tiger emerged from the dense forest, followed by more than thirty level-two mutants.

One-third of the alien species are skilled at burrowing and can fight underground.

'Roar—roar roar roar—'

The golden-striped tiger walked up to Nan Ruanruan and made a deep sound.

The big tiger said these were the mutants it had selected to guard the supply warehouse at the refugee camp. If the supply warehouse was no longer needed, they could also guard the defensive routes.

【Um. 】

Nan Ruanruan replied to Tuanzi and nodded to the golden-type spotted tiger, "I understand."

Seeing this, the golden-type spotted tiger lowered its head and rubbed against Huo Huo's head before turning and leaving.

It has many things to arrange and cannot stay here any longer.
