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

"Mr. Yuan, the army commander requests your presence."

Just as the golden-spotted tiger left, Zhou Zhou's voice rang out from the doorway.

Yuan Hong paused, wondering what Zhang Yiwen meant by asking him to come over at this moment.

Should we try to persuade him to stay? Or is there news about the lost supplies? Or should we try to convince him to let the Yuan family's superhumans join the military?

Various guesses flashed through Yuan Hong's mind, but he finally decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.

He composed himself, walked to the door, opened it, and gave Zhou Zhou a polite smile.

"I know, I'll be there right away."

It is said that one should not hit a smiling face, but Zhou Zhou had a really bad impression of the Yuan family.

Arrogant, selfish, liar, hypocritical and shameless—these are the labels she gave to the Yuan family.

Zhou Zhou nodded expressionlessly, but did not leave immediately. He stood aside and waited quietly.

Upon seeing this, Yuan Hong couldn't help but let a half-smile appear on his face.

He locked the door and, as he walked downstairs, said, seemingly casually but with a hint of sarcasm, "Is Deputy Captain Zhou afraid I'll run away?"

"Mr. Yuan is overthinking it."

Zhou Zhou looked at Yuan Hong and gave him a forced smile.

"The Yuan family is making quite a stir, but the army commander doesn't seem inclined to stop them..."

The implication was that she didn't care whether Yuan Hong ran away or not.

"I'm following Mr. Yuan only to ensure that the mission the commander gave me is completed 100%."

Yuan Hong's expression froze, feeling both embarrassed and angry, his lips pressed into a straight line.

Before the Yuan family's supplies were lost, Zhou Zhou would never dare to speak to him in such an attitude!

It's truly a case of a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs...

Yuan Hong felt a tightness in his chest and didn't want to talk to Zhou Zhou anymore, so he strode out.

———??———

When Nan Ruanruan rushed back to the vicinity of Yuan Hong's location, she saw him following Zhou Zhou out of the Yuan family's gate.

She remembered Zhou Zhou; he was a member of the military.

Nan Ruanruan watched them enter the shelter in Zone 1, a look of doubt flashing in her eyes.

Is the military still not giving up on the Yuan family, or do they have other plans?

She hid in the alley opposite the gate of the Yuan family's house, stroking her chin in thought.

Xiao Huohuo can't hold out for too long, and she can't be sure when Yuan Hong will return...

Should we continue waiting for Yuan Hong, or go back to Huo Huo's side to pursue and deal with the other group?

[Master, why don't I take Da Zang and Mi Mi to find Huo Huo and deal with the other group? You can stay here and continue to keep watch on that person.]

Just as Nan Ruanruan was unable to make up her mind, Tuanzi suddenly spoke up.

【Um? 】

Nan Ruanruan snapped out of her daze, her consciousness sinking into the space.

Da Zang and Mi Mi were squatting next to Tuanzi, whispering to each other.

As she entered, they all looked up at her.

"We can leave the big tiger to Huo Huo, but there's one level two superhuman and seven level one superhumans in that group, and it's just the three of you..."

Hesitation flashed in Nan Ruanruan's eyes.

She had asked Tuanzi before, and it said that once it solidified into a physical form, it could freely enter and exit the space.

In terms of strength, it's slightly weaker than Huo Huo, and it can only absorb the energy of a level 2 II alien species.

Of course, she was skeptical of the "almost" part that Tuanzi mentioned.

Moreover, even if it can handle another level two, Da Zang and Mi Mi would still have a tough time against the rest of the group.

Tuanzi's suggestion was indeed good; it would allow her to completely crush the Yuan family today, leaving her with no worries.

But she couldn't gamble with their lives.

"Don't worry, Master. Although my strength is a little weaker than Huo Huo's, I have other abilities that will ensure the safety of Da Zang and the others while dealing with the enemy."

Tuanzi patted her little chest and promised.

"Are you sure you're not exaggerating to help me?"

Seeing Tuanzi's confident promise, Nan Ruanruan wavered somewhat, but still did not agree immediately.

"Master, Tuanzi would never joke about the lives of her companions!"

Tuanzi climbed onto Dazang's head, grabbed Dazang's ear, and looked very serious.

"Then go ahead!"

Upon hearing this, Nan Ruanruan no longer hesitated and released them from her spatial storage.

【Master, we're off now. Be careful!】

After telling Nan Ruanruan, Tuanzi, Dazang, and Mimi chose a secluded spot to leave.

After watching them leave, Nan Ruanruan did not stay and wait.

She walked quickly out of the alley, through the gate of the Yuan family's house, and headed straight for Yuan Hong's residence.

The floor where the Yuan family lived was quiet, unlike the other floors where people came and went.

This made things convenient for Nan Ruan Ruan.

She used her metal-based superpower to open the door and silently slipped into the bedroom.

———??———

"Commander Zhang, I'll say it again, the supplies weren't hidden by our Yuan family!"

Yuan Hong didn't expect that Zhang Yiwen's reason for calling him over was the same old story.

He has explained the whereabouts of the supplies countless times.

But Zhang Yiwen didn't believe him.

It's no wonder Zhang Yiwen didn't believe Yuan Hong.

After various investigations, it was found that only the Yuan family's claim of being a thief crying "stop thief!" could explain why the supplies disappeared so mysteriously.

“Since I inspected the supply warehouse half a month ago, only people from your Yuan family have entered and exited the supply warehouse.”

Zhang Yiwen slammed his hand on the table, his eyes blazing with anger.

"We are just taking the daily necessities; we are not carrying out large-scale transportation."

You have also searched the inside of the supply warehouse, but you did not find any hidden doors or underground passages.

In other words, our Yuan family has never transferred supplies underground.

If we didn't go through the door or transport it underground, Commander Zhang, how are we, the Yuan family, supposed to cry wolf and move our supplies?

We can't exactly burn incense and pray to Buddha, begging our ancestors to crawl out from underground and move the supplies!

Yuan Hong uttered each word through gritted teeth, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, making a cracking sound.

"The disappearance of these supplies was so bizarre, what you're saying does have some merit..."

Zhang Yiwen looked at Yuan Hong and nodded somewhat casually.

Yuan Hong: "..."

He felt a buzzing in his head, and his whole body went numb with anger. He couldn't speak for a long time.

Ultimately, Zhang Yiwen wanted to pin the blame for the lost supplies on the Yuan family.

"I don't want to make things difficult for you, but all the investigation results point to your Yuan family."

Therefore, until the supplies are recovered, you and Yuan Qianyi should stay in District One to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings between us.

Seeing that Yuan Hong looked like he was about to die, Zhang Yi composed himself and became serious.

"I do not--"

"Zhou Zhou, send Mr. Yuan back, and then send someone to invite Young Master Yuan back."

Before Yuan Hong could finish speaking, Zhang Yiwen called Zhou Zhou in.

Zhou Zhou walked in from outside, quickly walked up to Yuan Hong, whose eyes were blazing with anger, and knocked him unconscious with a single chop without saying a word.

Then he hoisted him onto his shoulder and walked out the door.

"Yu Tu, pass on the instructions: apart from Yuan Hong and Yuan Qianyi, no other members of the Yuan family are allowed to stay at the refugee camp any longer."

I refuse to believe that if we push them to the limit, they'll still hold onto the supplies.

"Understood!" Yue Tu's voice rang out from outside the door.
