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

Three days later, the setting sun on the horizon was as red as blood.

So, what the big lion said was true?

Nan Ruanruan sat on a broken wooden stake outside the villa, gazing at a wisp of smoke in the distance, and asked Tuanzi beside her.

【Um. 】

The little dumpling was holding a mango bigger than its face, nodding as it ate.

I'll take Little Fire to the shelter in Zone 3 tomorrow. You stay here with Mimi and the others to keep watch.

After saying that, Nan Ruanruan jumped down from the tree stump and called out to the trembling weeds not far away, "Little one, time to come home for dinner~"

"Ow!"

The little creature gave a mumbled reply, and the next second it leaped out of the weeds, a red and blue striped spider leg longer than its body still in its mouth.

Three lion cubs followed behind it, each carrying a red and blue striped spider leg in its mouth.

The unusual color indicates that the spider's legs are venomous.

But Nan Ruanruan only glanced at it before looking away.

The mutants possessed far greater resistance to toxic substances than humans, and their perception of the danger of poison was also far superior. Yet, the lionesses guarding the vicinity showed no reaction...

That means the toxicity contained in the spider's legs has no effect on the little guys.

Then let's eat!

Nan Ruanruan, carrying Tuanzi, led the four little ones into the courtyard.

When Mimi, who was squatting in the yard, saw the spider leg in the little one's mouth, she immediately went over, snatched it, and smelled it.

"Ouch!"

The little one was suddenly deprived of its food and frantically climbed onto the kiwi.

Mimi raised its paw and smacked the little one on the head, then launched into a stern lecture, wailing and howling.

Nan Ruanruan couldn't understand it, but she could guess that she was teaching the little one not to eat things indiscriminately.

"Ow~"

The little one turned around, facing his backside towards Mimi, and let out a soft, aggrieved cry.

Although it is often scolded by its older brothers and even beaten quite a few times, this is the first time it has been scolded by its older brother, Mimi.

"Waaah!" Mimi patted the little one again.

Its eyes even held a hint of ferocity, and wisps of black mist swirled around it, making it look very intimidating to the little leopard.

When it comes to serious matters, it never softens its stance just because something is small.

The little one shuddered from the blow and stole a glance at Mimi.

It's okay if you don't look at it, but you'll be shocked when you look at it.

It wiggled its little bottom and turned around, nodding emphatically, "Aww~"

Only then was Mimi satisfied. She returned the spider legs to the little one and went back to her original spot to sit and pick at the non-existent lice on her body.

The little one picked up the spider leg and was about to join the lion cubs to enjoy the treat when it discovered that the cubs had already run back to their mother with the spider leg in their mouths.

He was looking at Mimi with a timid expression.

I have never seen such a fierce and terrifying monkey since they were born!

The little ones didn't know they were afraid of the kiwis; they thought the kiwis wanted to eat with their mother.

Ouch~

It has a mother too!

The little one, with a spider leg in its mouth, ran happily toward Nan Ruanruan.

Nan Ruanruan was busy by the iron pot, taking out food one by one from the space.

A huge pot of steaming congee with preserved egg and lean pork, nearly twenty pounds of lean pork buns, two large platters with almost a hundred boiled eggs, and twenty pounds of golden, tempting fried chicken...

Qi Wei was still lying on the sofa in the villa recovering from his injuries, while Hei Dou stared intently at him.

Except for going to the toilet, Qi Wei had no chance to leave the sofa at all.

Even when he goes to the toilet, Black Bean's figure completely blocks his view.

Nan Ruanruan was not worried that he would discover the secret of the space.

"Mimi, take these in to him."

Nan Ruanruan handed a large bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork to Mimi, and then put ten boiled eggs in a bag.

Mimi crawled to Nan Ruanruan's side, took the porridge and eggs from her hands, and carried them into the villa.

"Firefire, Big Tiger, Big Hidden, come back for dinner~"

Nan Ruanruan took out a megaphone and shouted into the dense forest opposite the villa.

Opposite the villa was a vast and artistically designed garden.

However, due to the lack of maintenance during the apocalypse, and the uninvited settlement of many exotic plant species, it has now become an extremely dense forest.

In addition, the lion family settled here, attracting many weaker species to live here.

It's fair to say that if it weren't for these villas still standing here, no one would believe that humans once lived here, just from the outside.

"Woo~" Little Fire responded quickly from the forest.

Nan Ruanruan waited for about fifteen minutes before Xiao Huohuo, Dazang, and the Golden-type Spotted Tiger returned.

Nan Ruanruan clearly sensed that Dazang's strength had improved again, and he was just a little short of level two.

If all goes well, they should be able to advance to level two in the next couple of days.

Nan Ruanruan divided the food among herself.

Even after the alien creatures that followed her had eaten their fill outside, they would still come back to replenish their bodies with human food.

Especially Daizo, which prefers human food to the flesh of other species.

After dividing the porridge, there was still one-third left in the pot.

"Eat it!"

Nan Ruanruan called out to them, then used the pot as a bowl and began to eat heartily.

A bite of steamed bun, a bite of egg, then a big bite of fried chicken, and a big gulp of porridge...

After dinner, Nan Ruanruan left the pots, pans, and spoons for Mimi and the others to wash, while she herself slowly walked out of the yard and strolled along the stone path outside to digest her food.

The weather in Shanghai is showing signs of warming up.

This can be seen from the increasingly active plant species and the insect species that have begun to emerge.

'Buzz~'

A black mosquito, as long as Nan Ruanruan's index finger and as thick as her little finger, flapped its wings and bit her arm.

Nan Ruanruan didn't even look at it, and directly flicked out a golden needle to end its life.

The black mosquito fell straight to the ground.

Nan Ruanruan stepped on it, and with a splat, the black mosquito turned into a clump of dirty blood.

A fire-elemental energy stone the size of a grain of rice rolled down with the surrounding pebbles.

An ant, about the size of a black mosquito, happened to be passing by. It immediately crawled over, picked up the energy stone, and ran away.

Nan Ruanruan found it interesting and was just about to mischievously catch it and tease it when some strange noises suddenly came from the forest.

'swish-swish-'

The surrounding herbivorous species also moved away and ran into the mountains and forests.

'Whoosh-whoosh-'

The commotion grew louder and louder, accompanied by heavy breathing, and it was coming from her direction. Nan Ruanruan suddenly gripped the fire whip in her hand tightly.

'Chirp chirp—'

The birds in the mountains and forests were startled and flapped their wings to fly away from their original habitat.

'Roar--'

"Woo!!"

The lion family and Little Fire immediately sensed something was wrong and rushed out of the villa.

The moment Xiao Huohuo and the others arrived beside Nan Ruanruan, a giant lizard, exuding a strong stench and covered in rotting flesh, burst out from the thorn bushes directly opposite them.

'Roar! ! ! ’

The three-meter-long rotting lizard let out a huge roar at Nan Ruanruan and the others.

A stench of corpses assaulted my senses and hit me right in the face.

"vomit!!"

Even Nan Ruanruan, who was used to all sorts of unpleasant smells from the apocalypse, couldn't stand the smell and vomited.
