The evil female is weak and the males of the whole continent are out of control and fall.

Chapter 778 Gathering
She mustered her courage, looked at Bai Wanwan and her group, and pointed to a two-story building deep in the settlement that was half-collapsed and barely repaired with plastic sheeting and wooden planks.

Her husband nodded quickly, his face full of flattery and gratitude: "Yes, yes, it's dark outside, and it's even less safe."

Upon hearing this, Xin Feng turned around, nodded slightly to the couple, and said in a gentler tone than usual, "Thank you. My wife does indeed need a place to rest."

Although the couple didn't understand what the "wife's" identity was, they were clearly relieved to see Xin Feng accept it. They became even more cautious and even showed a hint of humble respect: "Then... then please follow us. This way."

Bai Wanwan looked at her three partners beside her, who were adamant about not letting her venture out in the dark.

She knew that persuading them to let her go out to search would not only take time, but would also likely cause arguments and delay their important business.

She suppressed the anxiety surging in her heart and made a compromise.

“Alright,” she finally nodded, looking at Chief Rong and Ember Shadow with eyes full of admonition, “Then you must be careful, pay attention to safety, and come back as soon as possible. If… if you can’t find them, or encounter a situation you can’t handle, retreat here immediately, and we’ll think of another way.”

"Rest assured," the chieftain solemnly promised.

Ember Shadow squeezed her hand tightly: "Wait for us to come back."

Just as they turned to leave,
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A heavy knocking sounded suddenly, sounding particularly abrupt and startling in the deathly silent settlement!
The nerves that had just relaxed tensed up again in an instant!
The survivors in the settlement huddled together like startled rabbits, staring in terror at the door that had just kept the zombies at bay, holding their breath.

Could it be... that they're here again? Or are they zombies that we didn't manage to clear out earlier?
Xin Feng and Jin Ying immediately shielded Bai Wanwan in a more central position, while Qiu Rong quickly faced the gate, his eyes wary.

However, the expected zombie roars did not come.

The knocking on the door was rhythmic, even urgent.

Immediately afterwards, several agile figures, like large birds in the dark night, silently scaled the simple barrier above the wall and landed steadily on the open ground within the settlement!

In the firelight, the familiar figure and aura made Bai Wanwan's heart skip a beat!
"Wanwan! You're really here!"

Yan Lie, with his signature clear voice filled with undisguised elation, was the first to shout it out.

His eyes shone brightly in the darkness, instantly locking onto Bai Wanwan, who was being protected in the middle. The anxiety and worry that had been on his face for days vanished, replaced by pure, joyful delight as if he had found a treasure.

He didn't even care about the many strangers around him, and strode over in a few big steps.

Hua Han followed closely behind, her gaze falling on Bai Wanwan. Her tense lips finally relaxed, and a hint of relief flashed deep in her eyes.

The anxiety and worry in Jiaoyin's eyes melted away like spring snow, turning into a sense of peace and gentle light.

The three males, apart from some dust and signs of battle on their clothes, looked completely unharmed and full of energy.

"Yan Lie! Hua Han! Jiao Yin!" Bai Wanwan's voice was filled with unbelievable joy and a sense of relief as she quickly went to greet them. "I'm so glad you're all alright!"

My heart, which had been hanging in suspense, can finally be put down a little.

Although this post-apocalyptic wasteland is unfamiliar and cruel, as long as they are all there, this warmth is enough to temporarily dispel the surrounding chill and unknown fear.

Jiaoyin said gently, "We are all fine. We felt a turbulent current while we were traveling, and when we landed we found that you were missing, so we split up to search for you nearby. We heard the commotion and fighting sounds here, and followed the sounds to find you all."

Hua Han, a clean freak, was filled with disgust for this world, which was evident on her face. "Wanwan, there are disgusting things everywhere here. We need to find a safe and comfortable place to stay before we go inquire about the energy stones." Yan Lie grinned, revealing his pearly white teeth. "Hey, those things look scary, and they move as slowly as toddlers learning to walk. There are just a lot of them, and they smell awful. Hua Han, Jiao Yin, and I have been searching for them and have taken a lot of them with us. Wanwan, you weren't scared, were you?"

As he spoke, he habitually tried to move closer to Bai Wanwan, but was glanced at by the chieftain whose expression was still somewhat solemn. The chieftain restrained his movements slightly, but the eagerness in his eyes did not diminish.

"No, I'm not afraid with you all here." This was her honest opinion; she truly felt safe with them around.

The survivors in the settlement, seeing that the three newly appeared men were equally imposing and clearly in cahoots with the previous ones, felt even greater awe, and completely extinguished any last trace of resentment or petty thoughts.

Some people were even relieved that they hadn't taken any more extreme actions.

The couple who had invited Bai Wanwan to their home to rest were at a loss when they saw this scene. They dared not urge her or be disrespectful, so they stood there anxiously.

Bai Wanwan didn't keep the people who had extended the invitation waiting long before following them home.

She was quite tired after working so hard that night.

Upon arriving at their home, we found that this family was fortunate; they were likely native inhabitants of the area, as they were all still alive and well.

An elderly woman with gray hair wiped away tears, filled with gratitude: "Thank you, thank you so much for saving my daughter. Otherwise, our family would have really fallen apart..."

"No need to thank me, it was just something I did along the way," Bai Wanwan said gently.

The old man nodded repeatedly and reluctantly gave up the best room for them to stay in.

The middle-aged man with a sallow complexion rubbed his hands together, looking very reserved: "I'm sorry, there are too many people in the settlement, and our family only has these three rooms. Tonight... you'll have to make do with squeezing in."

"It's nothing, thank you very much." Bai Wanwan noticed their awkwardness and nodded with a smile.

In this world, it is a rare treat to have a relatively safe corner to rest in, a place that can shelter you from the wind and rain.

The room was really small. The white, curved males were all tall and imposing. When they all squeezed in, the space felt cramped, and it was even difficult to turn around.

Seeing that they were satisfied, the family left without disturbing them.

Bai Wanwan quickly took out a thick animal hide from the system space.

Before she could speak, the males had already started working, swiftly spreading out the animal hides and quickly covering the cold, hard ground.

"Wanwan, come here." Chief Rong patted the animal hide that had been laid out and beckoned to her.

When Bai Wanwan lay down, she felt a soft touch beneath her, which was noticeably thicker and more comfortable than the surrounding area.

She knew in her heart that the males had deliberately placed two extra layers under her so that she wouldn't hurt herself on the ground.

She was positioned between the chieftain and the shadow, while the other males lay down along the edge in turn.

Bai Wanwan stretched out her two hands and grasped the large hands of the two males beside her...
