Protagonist:

Lin Shi Ling Di

"They're back, they're back!"

Before the truck entering had even stopped, joyful shouts came from behind, from the team members who had waited so long; they had long heard from their respective captains that there was wild chicken meat to eat, and they were all hoping the big financier would return quickly.

Wei Ran jumped off the truck first, then she waved to signal the others to calm down, "Everything is on the truck; the quantities you all wanted can be met."

The implication being: no need to crowd or scramble, everyone gets a share.

"Wei Ran, quite the skill you have," a team member said sourly, after all not every squad had this kind of skill; most simply didn't have enough time to complete missions and could only return to Lin Shi Ling Di to rest and recuperate honestly.

"Hehe, just good luck."

Wei Ran scratched her head, then went to look for Cheng Nan; the supplies inside had to be prioritized for their own people first, then some had to go to Commander-in-Chief's side, and only the remainder was for selling to other squads.

However, this time they had caught several flocks of chickens, and the wild chickens inside had been killed seven-seven-eight-eight; considering the harsh environment and that preservation wasted space, Wei Ran decided to exchange them all for usable supplies, to ensure the team members' survival rate in the wild and minimize possible casualties as much as possible.

The entire Lin Shi Camp became lively directly because they returned.

Commander-in-Chief's side also knew the situation, tacitly not coming to disturb; Wei Ran was now said to be in the limelight, rolling up her sleeves to do business with others.

Cheap?

Not cheap at all!

Taking advantage of the situation to rob?

They're all team members; it wouldn't come to that point.

Holding everyone's bottom line of acceptability, Wei Ran just maneuvered left and right like that, relying on her silver tongue to successfully sell all the wild chicken corpses she brought back.

Shen Chengyi had already traded the four rabbit kits in her hand to the Official side, successfully getting back a box of Evolution Potions.

"Chengyi," Wei Ran called out affectionately to Shen Chengyi passing by; seeing her turn around, she hurriedly introduced the people beside her, "Wang Fei, Yi Zu Zhang; Cheng Yue, San Zu Zhang; Gao Xuefeng, Si Zu Zhang."

Shen Chengyi nodded with an "en," "Hello."

"Good, good, good."

"Sister Shen, hello."

Seeing Wei Ran's side had nothing going on, Shen Chengyi stepped away and directly missed the few people's flying eyebrow-and-eye battles.

Wei Ran:...

"I created opportunities for you and you can't even seize them; I see you just don't have the fate to get rich," and they still wanted to cooperate with her to hunt wild ducks of higher difficulty.

Wang Fei and the other two:...

"Sister Wei, help us out," it was really that Shen Chengyi's aura was too strong; the three of them found it hard to open their mouths.

"My helping is useless; hunting matters can only be put after missions; who knows how Commander-in-Chief will arrange things," if the next mission they encountered was high difficulty, they wouldn't have time to hunt wild ducks.

Don't look at how when they returned before Wei Ran's mouth was flowery, saying hatching ducklings from wild ducks was more valuable, but wild ducks were several times harder to catch than wild chickens, and wild ducks had a larger survival scale; one duck could bite a person into a bloody mess.

She waved her hand to tell the three of them it was fine and to hurry back; they'd rest for one night today, and they had to go on a mission early tomorrow morning; with the freshly obtained wild chicken meat, they had to taste some freshness anyway, not going back and waiting to risk not getting to eat.

Coaxing and persuading to send the people away, Wei Ran had just raised her hand to wipe away the sweat drops that had appeared when she saw Cheng Nan coming over.

Rolling her eyes at the sister who liked watching the excitement, Wei Ran said unhappily, "On purpose?"

When Wang Fei and the three were there, they slipped away faster than anyone; the moment Wang Fei and the three left, she immediately came back; selling out her sister just like that?

Cheng Nan:...

Cheng Nan scratched his head embarrassedly, "I, this isn't because I wanted you to communicate directly, to avoid information errors from passing messages around."

Besides, Wang Fei and those three were really able to drag things out; Cheng Nan was unwilling to listen to their long-winded talk.

Wei Ran hummed lightly, indicating what was called information error; those three of Wang Fei just wanted to hug Big Shot's thighs, treating others as Stupid Persons, right?

"Didn't agree, right?" Cheng Nan came over and gave Wei Ran a shoulder rub.

Wei Ran touched the protective suit she hadn't taken off yet, "Agreed to what? New missions haven't come down yet; what if there isn't enough time?"

One always had to distinguish priorities; back when management wasn't strict on normal days, hunting wild ducks could still be negotiated, but right now it was clearly necessary to relocate the Shelter, using the cold weather to clear dangers outside the Shelter; they still dared to abandon the mission to hunt wild ducks? When they returned, they'd have good fruit to eat.

Moreover, even if the mission was simple and there was enough time, Wei Ran didn't want to share benefits with others; with this kind of opportunity, she definitely had to eat alone.

Words spoken to this point needed no further explanation; both understood what was going on.

Smiling at each other, Wei Ran then left with Cheng Nan; ai yo wei, earlier she only thought about Wang Fei and the three going back to eat wild chicken meat, how could she forget when it was her own turn? That was mutated meat rich in energy and nutrition; she had to eat her fill to replenish what was consumed today.

The entire Lin Shi Camp was filled with a rich chicken meat aroma, an indescribable taste, very addictive, making people want to eat more after eating.

As one of the greatest Meritorious Officials of today, Shen Chengyi received a full basin of wild chicken meat, with oily chicken soup floating on top, and a few green leafy vegetables garnishing it, even more able to arouse people's appetites.

Shen Chengyi took out her bowl and chopsticks, a mouthful of chicken soup and a mouthful of chicken meat; needless to say, the energy of mutated animal meat was indeed rich and gentle; the original sour and swollen feeling on her body disappeared quite a bit, the most obvious being ability recovery; some with weaker abilities were more suited to eating mutated animal meat to supplement, more cost-effective than Evolution Potions.

Thinking of the two rabbit kits and several eggs in her space, Shen Chengyi subconsciously moved her fingers; en, for the next missions, if there was an opportunity, she still had to smuggle some mutated animal meat back into her space, especially Shen Yao's mental ability, which needed these mutated animal meats even more to improve and stabilize.

The chicken meat aroma drifted in Lin Shi Camp for a whole night without dissipating; however, because the dangers around had already been cleared in advance, the safety of Lin Shi Camp could still be guaranteed.

Shen Chengyi lay in her sleeping bag and slept soundly for a night; when she opened her eyes again, the sky was already bright.

Wei Ran and Cheng Nan went to Commander-in-Chief's place to receive today's mission; Shen Chengyi took care of her body, and after washing up and getting dressed, she went to drink chicken soup porridge; the warm chicken soup mixed with white rice entered her belly, making the whole person extremely comfortable.

"Today's mission is a group of mutated wild dogs in the southeast corner; the main purpose is to drive them away," Wei Ran brought the mission back, her expression visibly relaxed.

"Just drive them away?" Shen Chengyi was already dressed, her protective suit buttoned tight, not leaving a single gap.

"If possible, we can also persuade them to surrender," but this possibility was very low, because mutated wild dogs were originally stray dogs in the city; they were originally aggressive, and after further evolution and mutation, they were among those at the top.

Dogs had high intelligence, especially after evolution, their intelligence was even higher.

Compared to ordinary mutated plants and animals, mutated cats and mutated dogs could communicate simply; encountering those with exceptionally high intelligence, they could even communicate and negotiate.

The group of mutated wild dogs they were responsible for this time included a Border Collie, originally very intelligent, and now could be called a Military Advisor.

Previously, the Official side had not failed to consider talking with the other party; ideally, they could bring the mutant dog pack within the Shelter's scope, so that Team Members going on Missions would not only have helpers, but also improve the completion rate and survival rate of wilderness Missions.

"The pity lies in the failure to reach an agreement; both sides have their own insistence.

Currently, the Official intention is to persuade the mutant dog pack to leave that position: first, to reduce threats around the Shelter; second, to avoid unnecessary Conflict."

Because the Official's ultimate goal is peaceful migration, everything currently being done is to increase migration time and reduce population loss.

Their Conflict with the mutant dog pack is limited, so today's Mission seems rather difficult but is actually very simple; Wei Ran cheerfully began poring over the map searching for creatures they could hunt nearby. Pity the wild ducks don't grow in the Dong Nan Jiao Luo; the most numerous are still wild chicken flocks.

"Better than nothing; having is better than not having," Wei Ran muttered, then called the other Team Members to hurry with Preparation; they must depart As Soon As Possible. The mutant dog pack is quite far from the Temporary Territory; a round trip will take several hours.

Shen Chengyi packed her Package; before leaving, she did not forget the delivery from the Back Kitchen — a bag stuffed full of chicken jerky.

Mm

These were all jerky roasted from yesterday's mutant wild chicken meat; they can fill the stomach and provide energy — Supplies the Back Kitchen produced working Overtime.

Stowing it in her Backpack, Shen Chengyi walked briskly to the Che Xiang, climbed in and sat steady; Wei Ran followed close behind, but Wei Ran was busier than Shen Chengyi — she still had to reply to various messages coming through the communication device. Among them, Wang Fei and Gao Xuefeng were assigned to the South, very close to them, and were relying on the communication device to seek Cooperation.

Wei Ran naturally did not want to Answer; who would be Willing to share hard-won Benefits? But they were old teammates after all; although not as close as with Cheng Nan, having Cooperated Many times, she still had to give a little face.

She sent the message *didi-dada*; Wei Ran turned her head to glance at Shen Chengyi resting with eyes closed.

Truthfully, because everyone wore Protective Suits as cover, seeing facial Expressions was still extremely difficult.

Wei Ran had not interacted much with Shen Chengyi, but Shen Chengyi left a deep Impression on her — especially yesterday's one-sided slaughter of the chicken flock; Shen Chengyi seemed like a descending deity, cutting through them smoothly all the way.

Shen Chengyi: ……

Speaking of which, Wei Ran is a bit Strange Phenomenon; she says nothing, just tilts her head propping her chin and laughs at her from time to time — hmm, any person would be puzzled what she wants to do.

Shen Chengyi originally wanted to ignore her, but Wei Ran's gaze was too fervent.

She raised a hand and knocked on the Long Blade scabbard in her arms, "What's wrong?"

Wei Ran shook her head, then waved her phone, indicating they would definitely have a bumper harvest today.

Bumper harvest?

Shen Chengyi hesitated, did not interrupt Wei Ran's beautiful fantasy; after all, setting a flag in advance generally leads to no good result.

…………

This time the Truck swayed longer than yesterday; outside the Truck was white snow everywhere, dazzling to the eyes if watched long.

Shen Chengyi just watched a while, rested a while, until Wei Ran stood up from beside her, pointed at a small hilltop not far away and said they had arrived.

"This place was originally an Industrial Park; later the people inside moved out, and a pack of migrant mutant dogs occupied the position until today."

Wei Ran planted both hands on her waist; as her words fell, she also jumped out of the Truck.

Team Members had long been prepared; everything that should be carried was on their backs, even the Firearms that saw heavy action yesterday had been supplemented with plenty of Bullets.

The two Squads acted separately; considering the mutant dog pack might Disagree with the option of peaceful withdrawal, they also had to be ready to attack at any moment.

Negotiation was naturally Wei Ran's responsibility; Shen Chengyi stood at the Original Place awaiting the result. Cheng Nan braced the Sniper Rifle in her arms to give Wei Ran a sense of Security. Actually, that mutant Border Collie not only has extremely high IQ, but also remarkable jumping ability and keenness; their attacks basically cannot take effect on the Border Collie.

Shen Chengyi saw a pack of dogs run out from the back of the Small Hillside.

They came in various colors; the most eye-catching was the black-and-white Border Collie. The mutant dog pack's volume was several times larger than before; the most exaggerated was a black dog, as tall as one Building story, its whole body covered in exaggerated muscles, four limbs thicker than an adult's thighs.

It could be seen the Border Collie was the Leader among them; after Wei Ran finished speaking, she saw all the dogs make way for the Border Collie walking in the middle, and leave a circle for the one person and one dog to communicate.

Dogs can communicate? Speak dog language? Or speak human language?

Shen Chengyi did not know how the two sides communicated, but watching the closed circle disperse again, Wei Ran happily bounced back hopping — hmm, that should mean communication went very smoothly, the other party agreed to leave?

"Correct. This Border Collie is really smart; it understood the Meaning we wanted to express and agreed to leave here before the weather turns Warm."

Actually, as long as they leave before the Shelter migrates there is completely no problem; moreover Wei Ran also said after Winter there would be Danger here. The mutant dog pack can fight, but is also Unwilling to keep fighting.

If they can avoid these Troubles in advance, believe the mutant dog pack knows how to choose.

Shen Chengyi raised her head to glance at the dog pack not far away; the many dogs had already turned and returned to the back of the Small Hillside; their furry bodies were very deceptive.

"Where to next?" Shen Chengyi continued asking.

Wei Ran glanced at the Weather, thinking of course it was to continue hunting mutant wild chickens nearby, "I heard that"

Before the words were finished, the communication device in her hand began emitting *didi-didi* alarm sounds.

Wei Ran: ……?!!!

Before she could even check the communication device, Cheng Nan beside her urgently waved the other Team Members to hurry onto the Truck, herself dragging Wei Ran and Shen Chengyi running back.

"Something happened in the South, need emergency support." The South was Wang Fei and Gao Xuefeng's responsibility; what needed handling was merely an immobile ginkgo tree — normally there should be no problem, but the ginkgo tree's surroundings also had other aggressive Plants.

The information Cheng Nan received here was not much either; right now everyone is rushing to the South — after all, arriving one Minute earlier means being able to help gather more people out. As for what exactly happened in the South, we'll wait until they reach the Scene to say.
