The soldiers arrived quickly. After a brief handover, Banxia took Nanxing back to the parking area for lunch.

Li Kongyuan was squatting on the ground eating compressed biscuits with mineral water when he saw the two of them coming over. He quickly took out two packs from the car and handed them to Nanxing: "Are you hungry? Want some?"

Nan Xing, in his love-struck state, remained silent. Banxia refused on his behalf: "Thank you, but no need to trouble yourself. We brought instant noodles."

The compensation does not include food and lodging, so there's no need to owe favors for such a small amount of money.

Li Kongyuan gave up when he heard the words "instant noodles." Although compressed biscuits were filling, they didn't taste very good.

There was a simple kitchen in the car. Banxia set up a pot to boil water and cooked a deluxe version of instant noodles with vegetables, eggs, ham sausage and beef.

Instant noodles may not taste very good, but they smell incredibly delicious.

Jinzi, who had been dozing on the ground, suddenly raised its head and barked twice at the bowl in Nanxing's hand: "I want to eat."

Nanxing calmly looked away, offering a silent refusal.

His wife doesn't allow the dog to eat junk food, and he listens to her.

Jinzi hesitated for two seconds, but her foodie nature prevailed. She took a few steps forward and rested her big head on Nanxing's lap, whining and drooling all the while.

Nanxing didn't want to pay attention to it, but suddenly felt something was wrong with her thigh. She looked down and saw that her pants were soaked!

When Jinzi saw him looking over, she grinned ingratiatingly, drooling even more!

Nanxing stared at Jinzi, who had a fawning look on her face, for a few seconds, then looked up at Banxia and complained, "Wife, Jinzi drooled on my pants!"

Banxia felt like she was taking care of a child: "I'll discipline Jinzi later!"

The two people and their dog were joking and playing around in the car, which made things difficult for the people nearby.

There's no other reason than that the instant noodles have an incredibly strong flavor!

The soldiers frantically told themselves: compressed biscuits are nutritious, compressed biscuits keep you full, compressed biscuits smell delicious...

Ugh, I really want to eat instant noodles!

In a garbage dump a few hundred meters away.

The woman, barely clothed, awoke from her coma. Her cheekbones were prominent, her cheeks were sunken, and her dark yellow skin clung tightly to her bones, making her look like a dried corpse at first glance.

The woman's nose twitched involuntarily, and her eyes suddenly flashed with a strong will to survive—the smell of food!

She gently patted the small, breathing doll on its back, her voice hoarse: "Food...baby...hang in..."

As she spoke, she dragged her two broken legs toward the source of the scent.

The ground temperature of nearly 70 degrees Celsius burned a series of blood blisters on her arms, chest, stomach, and thighs. She grimaced in pain, but there was not a trace of hesitation in her eyes.

Closer, closer, even closer...

The short distance of a few hundred meters exhausted her last bit of life force. Desperate, she screamed at the truck two or three hundred meters away, "Save...save...Baby..."

However, her "loudness" was just a delusion before her death; in reality, her voice was barely audible, and the soldiers who were taking a nap two or three hundred meters away did not notice her and her baby.

"Thump—"

Jinzi's ears twitched, and it suddenly jumped up from the ground, but accidentally bumped into the top of the carriage. Ignoring its injury, it barked loudly at the carriage door.

Banxia woke up with a start, not even having time to put on her shoes, and quickly opened the door: "Jinzi, what happened?"

Jinzi jumped off the RV without looking back, leaving only her golden silhouette.

Banxia's expression turned serious, and she was about to chase after him when Nanxing quickly stopped her: "Wife, put on your shoes."

Banxia casually slipped on her shoes: "I'm going to find gold. Honey, don't wander off. Wait for me here."

She strode after Jinzi, only to find him running back with a grayish-white package in his mouth.

Banxia went up to him, somewhat puzzled: "You picked up... something again."

She took the package, and it turned out to be a child!

The child was about one or two years old, and was completely covered from head to toe in a gray-white adult sun protection suit.

Jinzi gave her a pleading look, then turned and ran away again.

Banxia hurriedly carried the child back to the RV, and before Nanxing could speak, she interrupted him, saying, "Husband, close the car door and don't let anyone get in."

Nanxing knew now was not the time to ask questions, so she swallowed her doubts, obediently closed the car door, and carefully pulled the privacy curtain closed.

Banxia used her special abilities to examine the child's body and found that he was severely malnourished, hungry, dehydrated, and suffering from heatstroke.

With multiple debuffs stacked up, the child's body was on the verge of collapse, and he was nearing death.

She hesitated for two seconds, then pulled the Devouring Tree over to help: "Tian Tian, ​​please help me."

The person and the tree activated their supernatural abilities simultaneously. Five minutes later, the child's almost non-existent heartbeat gradually regained strength, and he was out of danger.

Banxia wiped the sweat from her brow: "Thank you, Tiantian."

The Devouring Tree shook its branches and asked curiously, "You're welcome. Where did you pick up this child?"

Nanxing looked over when she heard this.

"I found the gold. I'll hand it over to Li Kongyuan when he wakes up." Banxia said somewhat apologetically as she took out milk powder and a new baby bottle from her spatial storage and handed them to Nanxing. "Honey, would you like to make the baby a bottle of milk powder? He can drink it when he wakes up. I'm going out to find the gold."

Nanxing took the things and went into the kitchen to boil water.

Banxia followed the path and found the gold.

Jinzi stood dumbfounded in the middle of the road. When she saw her coming, he barked and moved aside.

Banxia then realized that there was a woman behind it.

The woman was half-lying on the ground, her eyes wide with defiance, her body in a crawling position, her skin sizzling and steaming with white smoke as it touched the ground, revealing her white bones.

Banxia sighed softly, squatting down beside the woman with a complicated expression: "Rest in peace, your child has been saved."

The woman had clearly been dead for a while, but upon hearing this, her eyes slowly closed, and even the corners of her mouth slightly turned up.
