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

As the saying goes, of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best.

Jin Xiaoman didn't linger in the fight and turned to run.

Fearing that the ghouls would relentlessly attack the protective shield like the mutated beasts from that morning, she simply closed the doors and windows and stayed in the safe house for a while.

"I wonder what the situation is like outside."

Jin Xiaoman's finger slid across the store's sales interface, finally stopping on an item.

【Holographic Smart Camera: Can be moved by voice commands or controlled by a personal panel, can reach a height of 6000m in the air and a depth of 1000m underwater, provides 360° all-around silent monitoring, and is equipped with a holographic imaging module to transmit images in real time. It is the best choice for protecting your safe house.

Suggested retail price: 20000 game coins.

"Twenty thousand?"

"no."

Jin Xiaoman closed her personal panel.

She wanted to save up to go to that auction, and couldn't spend so many game coins at once.

"The ghouls outside might disperse at any time, so there's no need to monitor them in real time."

Jin Xiaoman gave herself a very reasonable reason.

Banishing the chaotic thoughts from her mind, Jin Xiaoman began to prepare dinner.

She took the ripple fish out of her backpack.

The fish is still alive and incredibly energetic.

As soon as Jin Xiaoman took it out, before she could even apply any pressure, it suddenly broke free from her palm.

As soon as it landed, it didn't jump around like a normal fish. Instead, it slapped its tail hard on the ground and sprang up suddenly.

"Pia!"

With a crisp sound, it leaped high into the air as if it were springy, tracing an arc as it headed straight for Jin Xiaoman's face.

Jin Xiaoman felt her limbs take control of her brain, and instantly took out a shovel from her backpack and slapped it at the silver-white figure.

"clang--"

A crisp metallic echo rang out in the safe house. The fish was slapped and hit the wall, then bounced back and hit the wall again. After several times, it fell to the floor, twitched, and then fell silent.

"What happened to the 'one-star danger level'?"

If she had actually hit me with that cigarette, my neck would probably have been uncomfortable for ten days to two weeks.

Jin Xiaoman slumped onto the beanbag chair and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Squeak—"

A familiar voice came from outside the safe house.

Jin Xiaoman opened her eyes instantly, her heart skipping a beat.

Oh no, the squirrel doesn't know there are ghouls near the safe house today.

It is highly likely that it will enter the ghoul's attack range without any warning.

At this moment, Jin Xiaoman could no longer care about anything else. She grabbed all the talismans and suddenly opened the door of the safe house.

Outside the door, a little squirrel, soaking wet, was politely knocking.

It tilted its head back, seemingly puzzled as to why the door to the safe house was closed today.

Outside the protective shield of the safe house, the dense swarms of ghouls had long since vanished.

Jin Xiaoman didn't know how to describe the feeling in her heart at this moment. She squatted down and hugged the squirrel into her arms.

"I couldn't find any items in the store that could help me contact you or communicate with you."

"I don't know why so many ghouls suddenly gathered today."

"I had no idea you'd be back so early today."

Jin Xiaoman is apologizing.

The squirrel couldn't understand.

It simply happily took out the treasure chests it had collected that day, one by one.

It had a great harvest today, and because the rain was light, it was able to come back to see Jin Xiaoman two hours early.

Jin Xiaoman couldn't continue apologizing.

Her arms were stuffed with treasure chests.

Some treasure chests were unstable and fell to the ground.

The squirrel climbed up the treasure chest, met Jin Xiaoman's gaze, and squeaked: "Squeak—"

Aren't you happy about my competence?

Jin Xiaoman miraculously realized what the squirrel was trying to say. She took a towel and wiped the rain off the squirrel, saying, "I'm only happy that you're not hurt."

In the forest, a leaf seemed finally unable to withstand the continuous patter of rain, bending over and letting the raindrops slide down.

A strange light flashed in the squirrel's eyes, but it quickly returned to normal.

Jin Xiaoman smiled and said, "Master Rat, we're in for a treat today."

She picked up the unconscious flounder from the ground and gave it to the shop to be cooked into fish soup. She also added fried eggs, white radish, tofu, and a small amount of chopped green onions to it.

He then took out three pounds of pork belly with alternating layers of fat and lean meat and asked the shop to process it into braised pork.

Finally, she cooked herself, cutting off the snail's tail and making a stir-fried spicy snail dish.

It comes with five bottles of wheat juice and six bowls of rice.

After receiving the food, the small group chat was silent for a moment, then filled with the sound of Big Horn Bull whimpering: "[This smells so good, boss! I've never cried like this to anyone in my life except my mom.]"

Loves wearing princess dresses: [Mama's boy!]

Loves wearing princess dresses: [Manman, unlike some of those "failed medical exam guys" who only know how to cry, I brought you something good.]

The player who loves wearing princess dresses has transferred 12 Mystic Stones to the player who is full of money.

Bighorn Bull puffed out his chest and charged forward, withdrawing a message.

Player with plenty of money gifted 720 game coins to Player who loves wearing princess dresses.

The player who loves wearing princess dresses generously gifted 720 game coins to another player.

"My punch weighs 300 tons": [You two stop spinning around, trying to show off your wealth in front of me, huh?]

Money Flowing: [Thanks.]

Loves wearing princess dresses: [We're the ones who should be saying thank you. We've always received your care. I won't say more, but your food is making my mouth water.]

It wasn't just Jin Xiaoman who was drooling over her princess dress; the squirrel next to her was also incredibly tempted.

Jin Xiaoman piled its little bowl full: "Eat up!"

Then, I couldn't wait to take a sip of the fish soup made by the talented fish.

"Why is there no movement? Are they going to eat meat?"

Jin Xiaoman picked out another piece of Sulan fish from the soup.

[Ding! Congratulations, player "Full of Money" has gained +5 minutes of underwater breathing time.]

"So this is your talent?"

Jin Xiaoman immediately sent the news she had just discovered to the small group chat, only to find that everyone was already having a great time chatting about it.

Loves wearing princess dresses: 【I want to enthrone Manman as Her Majesty the Queen. Anyone who objects will be dragged out and executed.】

"My punch weighs 300 tons": [I second that.]

The great ox, chest puffed out, charged forward: "I second that."

Number 2775: [Your subject seconds this proposal.]

Money Galore: [My beloved subjects, rise!]

…………

After dinner, Jin Xiaoman watered the plants in the yard to check when they were ready to mature.

After finishing everything, practice the basic spear techniques of the long-tasseled spear.

She has now memorized all the moves and will be able to use them proficiently in another three to five days.

Inside the safe house, the squirrel kept urging Jin Xiaoman to hurry up and open the treasure chest.

After finishing the last move, Jin Xiaoman wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"They're here."

There are a total of twenty-two treasure chests, including yesterday and today.

It takes up a really big area.

The squirrel sat atop the highest pile of treasure chests, like a king displaying his achievement.

[Treasure Chest Opening: Blind Box Potion*1, Purification Heart*5, Rocket Launcher*2, Incendiary Cluster Bomb*2, Hemostatic Bandage*5, Fireball Skill Card*2, Invisibility Talisman*1, Lightning Strike Talisman*1, Casserole Lamb Rice Noodles*1, Steamed Buns*2, Egg Drop Soup*2, Golden French Fries*5, Takoyaki*10, Pork Floss Cakes*2, Red Date and Tremella Soup*1, Japanese Tonkotsu Ramen*1, Bread*15, Crab Stew Seasoning Packet*1, Beef Rolls*30, Grapes*2, Fried Dough Sticks*2, Soy Milk*2, Hot Dry Noodles*2, Chocolate*2, Steamed Buns*15, 500ml Mineral Water*15.]

[Incendiary Cluster Bomb: Upon launch, it explodes, scattering multiple fire sources and creating a large-scale scorching area. It is a single-use consumable and does not consume any player sanity.]

Jin Xiaoman took two steps forward, hugged the squirrel, and gave it a kiss.

The squirrel felt uncomfortable and turned its face away. What kind of behavior is this? Don't let it happen again.
