Zombie Apocalypse: Don't be afraid, I'm not a good person.

"What use is it to you?"

Shenhe guessed that this pet space was very important to her, otherwise Jiang Manluo wouldn't be in such a hurry.

But he didn't know the truth. Seeing her getting dressed to leave, he picked up the two remaining cards on his stomach, glanced at them, and then got up and slowly dressed as well.

As Jiang Manlu bent down to put on her denim shorts, she excitedly told Shenhe her guess.

"Shenhe! You know, I can't leave this place! The reason is because of the Queen Ant. After the apocalypse, we inexplicably formed a bond. Since then, I can't leave within ten meters of her body. As long as I leave her body, I will quickly weaken and age, and may even die directly!"

"Later, it found me a lot of mutated fruits. After eating them, my body not only became healthier, but I would also occasionally feel hot all over and feel inexplicably comfortable. Afterwards, my abilities would increase significantly, and I realized that was an upgrade."

With each level you advance, your range of movement increases slightly. Now that you're at level five, you can only roam within a five-kilometer radius at most.

She pulled her coat over her shoulders, her fingertips trembling.

"I also thought about moving the queen ant to a different place, but she is too big and her birthing chamber is too delicate to withstand any disturbance. If she dies, I will die with her."

When it first mutated, I was on tenterhooks every day, afraid that other insects would sneak in and eat it. Fortunately, it persevered and slowly took over this underground area!

In the blink of an eye, she was dressed and ready, her eyes red, and ran to Shenhe, grabbing his arm tightly with both hands.

"If this pet space can really hold the Queen Ant and carry her with me, I won't be trapped in this dark underground anymore! I can go anywhere with you, I can go to Beichuan to see my parents! I'll never have to worry about monsters attacking the Queen Ant again! Shenhe, do you understand? I'm free!"

As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and kissed him several times on the face, leaving his face covered in saliva.

Shenhe helplessly reached out and pressed her shoulder, pushing her away slightly. "Alright, alright, don't get agitated. Let's go to the queen ant and see if we can collect it."

"Yes! Yes! I'm so happy!" Jiang Manluo giggled, her eyes crinkling into crescents. "I love you to death!"

Her joyful mood infected Shenhe.

Jiang Manluo grabbed Shenhe's hand, and the two of them walked out of the building entrance and jogged towards the Queen Ant.

Jiang Manluo couldn't hold it in any longer!

The queen ant was a size larger than the last one, and also at the fifth rank, but her overall stats were only in the forties, making her quite fragile.

"What do I do! How do I use it! Ouch!"

Jiang Manluo held the card, turning it over and over to examine it. Just as she was pondering it, the card suddenly transformed into specks of golden light, and a condensed golden stream of light shot into her brow!

She froze, rooted to the spot, her eyes glazed over, as if she had lost her senses.

Shenhe glanced at her and understood immediately. She was sensing the internal environment of the pet space. He guessed she looked just as blank when he checked the Soul Nourishing Hall.

Two minutes later, Jiang Manluo suddenly snapped out of her daze, her eyes shining brightly, and she excitedly shared with him, gesturing wildly.

"So beautiful! There are mountains, water, and big trees inside, and the air is so fresh! The queen ant would definitely be blissful inside!"

Shenhe raised an eyebrow. "Can you get in by yourself?"

"Huh? No way, this is the pet space."

Shenhe was a little disappointed; he had thought it could serve as a mobile shelter.

He gestured with his chin toward the queen ant, "Try to capture it."

Jiang Manluo suppressed her smile and slowly walked to the queen ant. The enormous queen ant slowly lowered her head and looked at her with gentle eyes, as if she were closer to her than to the eggs she had laid.

She gently stroked the queen ant's antennae, her voice soft, "Queen ant, I'm going to send you somewhere where there are no natural enemies, no danger. You and your colony can live peacefully there. Don't resist, okay?"

The queen ant's antennae twitched gently, touching her palm as if in agreement.

A rainbow of light emanated from Jiang Manluo's palm, gradually enveloping the ant queen's enormous body.

The moment the rosy light faded, the queen ant vanished into thin air.

She stood there stunned for several seconds, then turned around with disbelief on her face. "It's amazing! After the queen ant went in, many mushrooms and fruits that ants love to eat grew in the forest inside. We don't have to worry about them going hungry. You're incredible! How did you do that?"

Shenhe shrugged but didn't answer, instead asking, "What about those worker ants and soldier ants outside?"

"Easy! They all listen to the Queen Ant, and the pet space can be collected together. Let's go collect them on the ground!" She said, about to run towards the passage, but Shenhe grabbed her arm.

Before she could even wonder, the surrounding space rippled like water, and when she regained her footing, the warm sunlight was already falling on her face.

Jiang Manluo didn't have time to marvel at his unpredictable abilities; she first squinted her eyes and tilted her head back to bask in the sun.

The long-awaited warmth shone on my skin, making every pore feel open and relaxed, leaving me feeling completely refreshed.

"When I reached level five, I sneaked out once at night and almost got snatched by a three-meter-long owl. I was so scared that I never dared to come out again, mainly because I was afraid of being taken out of the queen ant's range, which would have been my death. But now I'm not afraid anymore! The queen ant is on me!"

As she looked around at the streets, high-rises, and abandoned vehicles she hadn't seen in a long time, she mumbled to Shenhe about what had happened to her these past few days.

It was as if she wanted to tell him everything from the past, not wanting him to only remember her crazy appearance of wanting a child.

After chatting for a while, she touched her brow with her finger, and circles of transparent ripples spread outwards.

A moment later, large patches of green dots rapidly converged on Shenhe's system map.

A faint tremor came from the ground.

Good heavens, just after accepting Jiang Manluo, her hundreds of thousands of ants have become allies.

This was the first time Shenhe had ever seen so many green units, densely covering the entire map; the scene was truly breathtaking.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Violent sounds emanated from several open areas around the two people, as several enormous soldier ants crawled out of the ground, causing the ground to tremble with each step they took.

In the cave behind them, all sorts of ants kept crawling out, and in no time, their vision was almost completely filled with ants!

Shenhe also discovered many ants he had never seen before: red fire ants, blue ice ants, purple electric ants, yellow soil ants, green wood ants! And golden ants with shells as hard as steel!

It's all literal. Some of them spew out sparks, some spew out ice crystals, some spew out electric arcs, and so on. But these special ants are all of the first rank, and there aren't many of them.

She's an army all by herself! If there were a ranking of top experts in the future, I doubt anyone would dare to mess with Jiang Manluo!

Shenhe turned to look at Jiang Manluo with admiration. She glanced at him smugly, her lips curving into a wide smile.

With a thought, Jiang Manlu activated her access to the pet space. She stretched out her hand and pointed at the sky!

"Buzz—!"

In the heart of the ant ocean, a giant disc composed of seven-colored rays of light suddenly appeared in the sky!

A powerful suction force emanated from within!

Countless ants were lifted into the air and swept up into it!

Looking at the magnificent scene in the sky, Shenhe smiled. These ants would one day be his army!
