In a post-apocalyptic world, she was reborn and became the queen of the wilderness.

Chapter 176 Strange

"Sister Ruan Ruan, we're here!"

Just then, Wang Ruo's excited voice rang out outside Haishi Forest Park, accompanied by the roar of a car engine.

Nan Ruanruan temporarily put aside her thoughts and walked outside.

As soon as they left the park, Wang Ruo gave them a big hug.

Even though Wang Ruo was the person Nan Ruanruan knew best at the refugee camp, she still wasn't used to being so close to others.

Did you encounter any Type II mutants on your way here?

As Nan Ruanruan asked Wang Ruo, she subtly took two steps back.

Wang Ruo's attention was indeed drawn to Nan Ruanruan's question, "II variant?"

"No, we've been safe the whole way and haven't encountered any Type II mutants."

As she spoke, she turned around and looked at Xiao Shuo and Qin Han.

The group shook their heads, confirming that they had not seen any Type II mutants.

"Miss Nan, what happened?"

Xiao Shuo looked around. The entrance to the forest park was still in the mess from the battle the night before.

"When Tuanzi and the others returned from the refuge, they encountered a Type II mutant."

Nan Ruanruan looked at them and said, "A Raven II variant that can self-destruct."

"A crow that can self-destruct?"

Wang Ruo turned around and exchanged glances with Qin Han and the others, their eyes all flashing with surprise.

Along the way, they didn't see a single crow, let alone a sparrow.

The group shook their heads again and said in unison, "We didn't see it."

"Okay, I understand. You guys move these herbs to the less difficult areas first."

Nan Ruanruan nodded and directed the aliens to move the herbs onto the truck that Qin Han and his group had brought.

It seems that, as Tuanzi said, those self-destructing crows are only active in specific areas and have no intention of attacking for the time being.

"Sister Ruan Ruan, where did you find these herbs?"

Wang Ruo approached Nan Ruanruan, watching with great curiosity as the herbs were continuously loaded onto the cart.

Hearing this, the others also looked at her with curiosity.

Nan Ruanruan looked back into the depths of the forest park and raised her voice slightly to explain, "I didn't find them, I planted them."

Upon hearing this, the wood-type alien closest to Nan Ruanruan silently looked up at her.

It almost believed it.

"Cough cough~"

Nan Ruanruan felt a little embarrassed by its gaze and glanced away.

Even though the overall strength of the alien species is greater than that of humans, their self-awareness and intelligence are also increasing, and some alien species are even smarter than some humans.

However, in the eyes of many humans, they are still lower animals, and subconsciously they still believe that they can disregard their wishes and arbitrarily order them to do things.

Especially when the alien species, at the tiger's behest, are willing to temporarily obey her commands.

If she were to directly say that these herbs were cultivated by the alien species, the refuge would probably request that even more herbs be cultivated.

"You planted it?"

Wang Ruo exclaimed in surprise, "My God, Sister Ruan Ruan, you were so prescient!"

The others were also amazed and grateful.

With nine out of ten medicines in stock, these herbs were a godsend for them!

"Haha, just a coincidence."

Nan Ruanruan gave a dry laugh and quickly changed the subject.

"By the way, where did you get that egg you gave me last time?"

"We found it when we were moving to this side of the lake."

Wang Ruo lowered her eyes, trying hard to recall.

"It was being fought over by two different vine species, one of which was stronger and quickly devoured the other."

Just as it was about to enjoy its spoils, a wood-type sable passed by and set its sights on the energy stone of the vine-like alien species.

Their attack speed is so fast that we can hardly see their movements.

Then, somehow, the sable was suddenly killed by the vines.

The vines didn't fare much better; their roots were torn to shreds by the sable, and they struggled to climb to the egg before becoming still.

The so-called snipe and clam fight, and the fisherman wins.

They're all dead, so the egg is naturally ours, plus two wood-type energy stones!

At this point, Wang Ruo's lips curled up in a smug smile, but then she composed herself and asked Nan Ruanruan with a curious look, "Sister Ruanruan, has that egg hatched yet?"

"It just hatched not long ago."

"Really!" Wang Ruo's face lit up with a bright smile. "Where is it? Let me see it!"

“It’s right there!” Nan Ruanruan looked at the weeds at Huo Huo’s feet.

Wang Ruo followed her gaze and saw only wild grass swaying in the wind.

"No..." she said, looking puzzled. "Could it have hidden in the ground?"

Just as Wang Ruo was about to step forward for a closer look, Nan Ruanruan called out softly to the pile of weeds, "Egg, come out!"

"Egg? What a cute name~"

Wang Ruo stopped and stared expectantly at the trembling weeds.

The next second, Egg, covered in mud, crawled out of the weeds, its body entangled in vines like an earthworm.

Wang Ruo: "......"

"Sister Ruan Ruan, don't tell me it's an egg—"

At this moment, Wang Ruo was devastated.

The egg was so beautiful that she thought it was some kind of bird's egg, but it turned out to be—an earthworm.

But aren't earthworms oviparous? How could they be born from eggs?

“Don’t doubt your eyes,” Nan Ruanruan shrugged helplessly, “As you can see, it’s an egg.”

Egg kept crawling on the ground, slowly making its way to Nan Ruanruan's feet, trying to pull her up by her trouser leg.

"Hmm?" Nan Ruanruan lowered her head and hummed softly, her eyes dangerous.

The dirty vine suddenly froze, hanging in mid-air, too afraid to move.

"Go and clean yourself up." Nan Ruanruan gently touched it with her toe. "Also, don't imitate any strange walking postures."

'brush--'

Instantly, Egg's straight body went limp like a deflated balloon and collapsed to the ground, then slowly burrowed into the soil.

Before long, it crawled out again to Wang Ruo's astonishment.

"Eggs aren't earthworms, they're vines, tendrils?" She stood there, stunned, muttering to herself in disbelief.

This is even more unacceptable than finding an earthworm inside an egg!

"Hmm, I was wondering how a plant could grow out of an egg, but after hearing how you found it, I have some ideas now."

It's likely that the vine-like creature used a special method to transfer its seed into its egg before it died.

The seed absorbs the energy of the original life in the egg, and finally hatches, achieving rebirth.

This is also a unique survival strategy for plant species.

but--

Nan Ruanruan looked at the egg that had climbed up to her wrist and was curling up on its own, a look of doubt flashing in her eyes.

How exactly can we insert the seed without damaging the egg?

Fortunately, the original vine-like mutant will also possess the ability once the egg grows a bit bigger.

Let Egg demonstrate it then.

"Miss Nan, we're all set up!"

While he was pondering, Xiao Shuo walked over.

Qin Han and his group had already boarded the vehicle and were ready to depart.

"Well, just in case, I'll give you a ride."

Nan Ruanruan snapped out of her reverie, and thinking about the self-destructing crow that Tuanzi had mentioned, she still felt uneasy.

Especially now that it's late at night, pitch black, and almost nothing can be seen.

Crows are naturally black.

Without making a sound, it is difficult for humans with obstructed vision to detect it.
