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

Chapter 790 Thanks
A few days later, Bai Wanwan arrived as promised, followed by her beastmen and several supply boxes covered tightly with waterproof tarpaulins.

Outside the abandoned school, a patrol team quickly spotted them.

Zhao Qiang, who was leading the way, kept an eye on the road. As soon as he saw Bai Wanwan, he immediately put on a smile that was even more eager and even a little obsequious than last time, and jogged over to greet her.

"You've arrived? You must be tired from your journey!" Zhao Qiang rubbed his hands together, his attitude excessively respectful.

Bai Wanwan stopped in her tracks, her gaze falling on his face with a probing look: "You knew I was coming?"

"Yes, yes," Zhao Qiang nodded repeatedly, smiling obsequiously. "Our leader specifically instructed us that since you will be coming again, we must be very polite and invite you in as soon as we see you."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at the boxes in the males' hands.

Although their leader didn't say anything else, those large, box-like objects were quite obvious.

A flicker of curiosity and greed crossed his eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

Bai Wanwan didn't show much emotion on her face, she just nodded and confirmed again: "This time, it's still only me going in alone?"

Zhao Qiang looked troubled. "This... I'm really sorry, but the leader specifically instructed that you can only go in alone."

Yan Lie, standing nearby, let out a disgruntled snort.

The other males, remembering Wanwan's previous analysis and agreement, forcibly suppressed their urge to lash out immediately. However, their gazes were like tangible blades, scraping against Zhao Qiang and the others.

Bai Wanwan pointed to the supplies in the hands of the beastmen, "These things need to be carried inside, right? Can they help carry them inside?"

Zhao Qiang quickly waved his hand: "No, we can handle these rough jobs. We'll make sure you move it in perfectly!"

He beckoned to his men, and immediately someone came up to take over; the action was swift.

The superhumans walked over and took the supplies from the males, but the males didn't give them a friendly look and threw the supplies back into their hands.

Before leaving, Bai Wanwan softened her voice, "Don't worry, this time it will be just like last time, we'll be out soon. If all goes well, we'll be able to go home right away."

Chief Rong's thin lips pressed into a straight line, his jawline taut, and he finally spoke in a low voice: "Ten minutes, only ten minutes."

This is his final bottom line.

“Okay,” Bai Wanwan solemnly promised, “I’ll stay for ten minutes. Once the time is up, I’ll come out no matter how the conversation goes.”

The heavy school gates slowly opened in front of her.

Zhao Qiang stepped aside and respectfully led the way, saying, "Please."

After walking through the still dim and quiet corridor, Bai Wanwan was once again led to the door of that office.

This time, before Zhao Qiang could even announce her arrival, it seemed that they already knew about her.

The door opened from the inside, and the man was looking at her with a smile: "I didn't expect we'd meet again so soon."

Bai Wanwan smiled at him and said, "Since you have shown your sincerity, I must also show my sincerity."

As she spoke, she turned to the side and pointed to the supplies in Zhao Qiang's and the others' hands.

Roger's gaze swept over the supply boxes that Zhao Qiang and the others were carrying into the house. A genuine look of surprise flashed across his brown eyes, but he quickly concealed it.

He looked at Bai Wanwan, his tone carrying just the right amount of surprise and admiration: "You've managed to gather so many supplies in such a short time?"

He walked to a box, lifted the waterproof cloth, and casually picked up a well-sealed bag of compressed dry food. He also looked at another box of canned goods and even a box of clearly labeled medicine.

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you." Roger suppressed the surprise in his eyes and pretended to be delighted.

He had been in this post-apocalyptic world for quite some time and knew all too well the extent of the scarcity of resources here, especially medicines, which were incredibly valuable. Hunting was scarce, the land was polluted, and searching through the ruins was like finding a needle in a haystack.

Recalling the past, he became more and more certain that his beloved female harbored a secret unknown to others.

He doesn't actually need these supplies, but if he were to offer them energy stones again so easily and unconditionally, given Wanwan's intelligence and vigilance, she would inevitably become suspicious and might even avoid them altogether.

This is something he absolutely does not want to see.

Suppressing the surging urge to pile all the energy stones in front of her to make her stay a little longer, Roger forced himself to bring his attention back to the "deal".

He put down what he was holding, walked back to the table, took out a wooden box from the drawer, and opened it.

There were three energy stones placed side by side inside, about the same size as the one from last time.

“Here’s what you wanted,” he said, pushing the box forward and looking at Bai Wanwan’s face, trying to see joy in her eyes.

Bai Wanwan stepped forward and carefully examined the energy stone. After confirming that it was correct, she felt a great weight lifted from her heart.

With four energy stones in hand, hope has greatly increased.

"Thank you for keeping your promise. Please also take stock of the supplies outside and see if you are satisfied. If you feel it's not enough, I can find you some more supplies."

The other party was very generous, and out of gratitude, she could give him some more.

“These supplies are enough,” Roger waved his hand, appearing very generous. “As for these energy stones, these are all I can find right now. If you need more, I can continue to help you find more.”

He actually wanted to ask her to stay, promising to find her more energy stones.

But he knew it was impossible; the males outside wouldn't let him get close to Wanwan, and if they barged in, they would discover his identity.

In that case, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven for him to see Wanwan again.

Bai Wanwan was carefully putting the wooden box into her backpack when she heard this and paused almost imperceptibly.

"You can still find it?" She looked up at Roger.

"If you need it, I can send someone to look for it, but it will take some time."

"I don't need it for now. I'll come back to you if I do."

She had previously heard Li Xiang say that they only obtained one energy stone, which would allow Fu Jinshen to travel to the Beast World to find her.

Those four pieces... should be enough, right?
If it's not enough, we can always come back to him.

She looked at the other person and smiled, "Thanks, then I'll take my leave now."

There's a bunch of jealous men outside who need to be appeased.

Bai Wanwan stood up, and the other person followed suit.

His face still wore that calm and reliable collaborator expression, but for some reason, she felt that his gaze was a little too focused at the moment, and there seemed to be some emotion being suppressed deep in those seemingly calm brown eyes.

There was even... a barely perceptible tension and... reluctance?
The idea struck her as absurd.

Reluctance? They were just strangers who had only made two transactions.

But this subtly amplified the uneasy feeling she had been harboring.

"I'm glad I could help you." Roger's voice was low. He took a small step forward, as if he wanted to get closer, but then stopped himself.
