Survival for all, my island is the last pure land on earth.

The squirrel shuddered, its fur almost standing on end again.

Jin Xiaoman stuffed the raspberry into its arms: "It's not big, but it's got a lot on its mind. Don't worry, not to mention anything else, the mint field you found for me this afternoon is enough for me to support you for a lifetime."

"You reminded me of the ghouls yesterday, which saved my life. I have no way to repay you for this."

"And you give me so many treasure chests every day..."

Jin Xiaoman gestured and explained for a long time, her mouth was dry from talking, but the squirrel still looked dejected.

Never mind, we don't speak the same language.

Jin Xiaoman filled the small bowl in front of the squirrel with food and water, and decided to leave it alone.

It's normal for children to have their own ideas as they grow up.

…………

After washing up, Jin Xiaoman got into bed at 10:30 p.m.

The personal panel indicates that no lucky draw has been completed today.

Jin Xiaoman pressed the button for a ten-pull.

The wheel spins, revealing familiar items: "Thank you for your patronage," game coins, talismans, and more.

When she got to the seventh draw, Jin Xiaoman's eyes lit up.

It was a beautiful pet bowl, entirely black, with a picture of a cat with green eyes on it. It was divided into two parts: food on the left and water on the right.

Jin Xiaoman turned the tables, making a decision in just one second.

Back when she was on Earth, she was frequently traveling for work and had an unstable residence, so despite her love for pets, she never managed to get one.

Now, this squirrel is clearly no ordinary creature and probably can't be kept as a pet, but she can still play a little trick on it.

She crept out of bed, a mischievous grin on her face, and replaced the bowl in front of the squirrel with a food container.

Once you use my bowl, you become my "person".

Jin Xiaoman thought the squirrel was unaware of these subtle thoughts, but as soon as she turned around, she heard a commotion behind her.

The squirrel squeaked sharply twice and scratched at the pet bowl with its claws so fast that sparks almost flew.

Jin Xiaoman, sensing something was wrong, felt guilty and quickly took the food box away.

They didn't even dare to look back at the angry squirrel.

At three o'clock in the morning, Jin Xiaoman was suddenly awakened from her sleep.

She suddenly realized that the squirrel wasn't angry that she had kept it as a pet, but rather that it had encountered an enemy.

It hates a cat with black fur and green eyes.

Jin Xiaoman opened the window as if possessed, and once again met those green eyes.

This time, it seemed to be a little closer.

…………

On the third day of the rainy season, it was rare that it wasn't raining when I was able to go out in the morning; in fact, the sun even shone after a long time.

Even the wind blowing in from outside the window has shed its damp, sticky feel, bringing instead a refreshing and warm sensation.

Glistening raindrops still clung to the grass and trees not far away, and the air was so clean it seemed to have been gently washed. As far as the eye could see, everything was lush and green.

Inside the safe house, after completing the blessing ceremony, Jin Xiaoman opened the twelve treasure chests she had obtained yesterday.

[Treasure Chest Opening: Purification Heart*3, Landmine*3, Rocket Launcher*1, Lightning Strike Talisman*1, Hemostatic Bandage*3, Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles*1, Chicken Soup*1, Dining Table*1, Slippers*1, Chocolate Cream Ice Cream*5, Hazelnut Mille Crepe Cake*1, Hot Pot Base*1, Beef Rolls*30, Grapes*2, Fried Dough Sticks*2, Soy Milk*2, Hot Dry Noodles*2, Chocolate*2, Bread*15, Steamed Buns*12, 500ml Mineral Water*17.]

Jin Xiaoman turned to the squirrel for his opinion: "Grandpa Squirrel, shall we have soy milk and fried dough sticks for breakfast?"

The squirrel has been sleeping soundly for the past two days and is still drowsy, showing no signs of yesterday's low spirits.

Jin Xiaoman brought up her personal panel and took eighteen consecutive photos of it.

Loves wearing princess dresses: [Ta-da! A beautiful day begins with this princess's divination.]

[Manman, you're experiencing a brief period of stagnation these past few days, a minor setback. This will last for five days, without any serious consequences, and will resolve itself. Simply put, you might encounter a small problem during the rainy season.]

Jin Xiaoman remembered that she had indeed mentioned wanting to have her fortune told before, but she was so busy that she had completely forgotten about it.

She handed over a bunch of grapes and two chocolates: "Thank you."

Loves wearing princess dresses: 【Need me to help you avoid this?】

Money Abounds: [No need, since it's a minor problem, I'll handle it myself.]

When Jin Xiaoman came to this game, she had no intention of hiding in a greenhouse and growing slowly.

She wanted to seize every opportunity that would allow her to grow, even if it meant facing impending danger.

After breakfast, Jin Xiaoman packed her raincoat into her backpack and stepped into the forest.

As expected, not long after entering the forest, she saw patches of green grass.

However, she did not rush to collect them. Instead, she took out the tracking talisman and entered "Nanshanzi" into it.

The weather during the rainy season is unpredictable, and Nanshanzi prefers sunshine, so now is the best time to search for it in the next few days.

The tracking talisman took off and guided Jin Xiaoman in one direction for about half an hour, eventually stopping at a small hillside.

Jin Xiaoman spotted Nanshanzi from afar. It wasn't that Nanshanzi was particularly conspicuous, but rather that a five-meter-tall elk was resting nearby.

【Name: Silent Deer (Mutating...)】

Strength: 15

Agility: 9

Defense Value: 20

[Danger Level: Three Stars]

From a distance, apart from being excessively tall, the deer looked no different from the elk on Earth.

All the values ​​are normal, I don't know why the danger level is three stars.

Jin Xiaoman did not rush forward. Since the novice protection period, she had been frequently attacked by animals, which made her wary of all animals in the forest except for squirrels.

Moreover, she wasn't sure if the deer just happened to be there or if it was guarding Nanshanzi.

If they guard Nanshanzi, they will certainly be difficult to deal with.

After thinking for a moment, she found a few stones nearby and threw them in one direction.

Hearing the noise, the deer opened its eyes and looked over.

Jin Xiaoman's throat tightened.

The deer's eyes seemed to be veiled by a mist, unfocused, with completely white, diffused pupils and indistinct edges, revealing a turbid quality.

It looks exactly like a pathogen contaminated by a virus.

It exudes an indescribable sense of terror and strangeness.

Jin Xiaoman huddled behind the bushes, pondering a plan. After a moment, she made up her mind.

She timed it perfectly and threw another stone.

A strange thing happened at that moment.

As if sensing something, the deer locked its gaze on the stone the moment it opened its eyes.

In an instant, the stone froze in mid-air, motionless.
