Lin Ruo drove a long way, all the way to the outskirts of the city. After confirming that no one was following her, she put the things in the car into her spatial storage. Although it was just a can of diesel and some parts, it still took up space.

After finishing these things, it was already past 1 p.m. She hadn't had lunch yet, so she randomly found a Shaanxi noodle shop on the street, ordered a few bowls of noodles, and found them to be quite delicious. She then decisively ordered dozens more servings to take away.

In the afternoon, Lin Ruo drove to the largest breeding farm in City A following the navigation route. As soon as she entered the gate of the breeding farm, she saw a large number of animals: pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, and even rabbits. When Lin Ruo saw these animals, it was as if she saw meat walking around, and her eyes lit up.

"Woof woof woof!"

As soon as Lin Ruo entered the door, a black and brown German Shepherd barked wildly at her. The dog wasn't on a leash at all, but it only barked at the door and didn't seem to lunge forward to attack. It was quite clever.

Perhaps it was the unconscious aura emanating from Lin Ruo that made it feel threatened, but for the sake of the farm it was protecting, it did not back down at all and stood there confronting Lin Ruo.

Someone inside heard the dog barking and came out. A middle-aged woman wearing a headscarf appeared in front of Lin Ruo and asked with a smile, "Little girl, what would you like to order?"

The dog stopped barking when it saw its owner, turned around and quietly lay down by its kennel, its eyes fixed on Lin Ruo. With Lin Ruo's sharp eyesight, she could naturally see that the dog's muscles were tense, as if it was afraid that she would hurt its owner.

Lin Ruo's heart itched to see it. She had seen too many intelligent animals in the apocalypse, but she had hardly seen any before. This dog was almost a spirit. If its intelligence were to mutate again, how far would it go?

Then a thought struck her: having such a little guy to keep her company wouldn't be bad.

The apocalypse is a long and uncertain journey, perhaps lasting for decades. She must be lonely living in it. If she could get a dog, it could mutate and extend its lifespan, keeping her company for life.

She would never trust a person again in her life, but she was willing to give a dog a try.

Despite her inner turmoil, Lin Ruo's expression remained unchanged. She nodded to the middle-aged woman and replied with a smile, "I want to buy animals, and I also want to buy some meat."

"Buy animals? Live ones?" The middle-aged woman was both amused and exasperated. "Young lady, this is a breeding farm. If you want to buy them as pets, you don't need to buy them from us."

It's no wonder the middle-aged woman misunderstood; Lin Ruo was just too young. Although she had lost much of her student-like air, it was still obvious that no one would think such a young girl would buy so many live animals.

“I’m not buying them to raise as pets,” Lin Ruo said, her eyes crinkling with laughter. “I want 500 pigs, 200 boars, 200 sows, and 100 piglets; 500 sheep, 500 cows, 1,000 chickens, 1,000 ducks, 1,000 geese, and 1,000 rabbits, all in the same proportions as the pigs.”

After Lin Ruo finished speaking, the middle-aged woman stood there for a long time without saying a word.

Lin Ruo blinked. Her life space wasn't very large, and these things would definitely grow and have babies after she bought them, so she didn't dare to buy too many. Did this older sister think she bought too few?

She asked tentatively, "Can you sell it?"

"!!!" The middle-aged woman finally realized what was happening, her eyes widening. "You want so many! We can sell them! We definitely can! Quick! Let's talk inside."

Lin Ruo's smile became more genuine; her pregnancy was over.

She followed the woman into the house, glancing at the dog before leaving. The dog was still watching her warily, which amused her. Was she some kind of monster?

After entering the house, the woman poured her a glass of water. "Young lady, what do you need so many animals for?"

Lin Ruo didn't drink the water. Having experienced betrayal in her past life, she wouldn't eat anything given by people she didn't trust. She just smiled and said, "I opened a food processing plant. These animals are just for initial demand; I'll definitely need to order more later. I wonder if this price is acceptable..."

"Sure! Don't worry, girl, I'll definitely give you the wholesale price. Come on, let me calculate it for you."

The middle-aged woman took out a pen and paper and a calculator and started pressing keys. She calculated that a pig would cost about 2,500 yuan, a sheep 2,000 yuan, a cow 7,500 yuan, chickens, ducks and geese 25 yuan each, and rabbits 35 yuan each. In the end, she calculated that it would cost about 5.1 million yuan.

"Big sister, besides these, I also want 100 pigs, 100 sheep, 20 cows, 500 chickens, and 500 rabbits. Please kill them for me, and coagulate their blood into blocks."

"In addition, please provide me with five tons of each type of feed."

"Okay, no problem!" The middle-aged woman was very happy. She hadn't had such a big order in a long time. She quickly added the new items that Lin Ruo had requested and gave Lin Ruo a price quote.

Lin Ruo saw that the price wasn't expensive, so she simply paid the deposit.

"Big sister, please take good care of everything I need and make sure it doesn't get sick. Could you deliver it to this location the day after tomorrow afternoon? Can you deliver it in the afternoon?" Lin Ru handed the factory address to the middle-aged woman. She wanted to stagger the delivery times to avoid arousing suspicion.

"No problem, no problem." The middle-aged woman smiled broadly. This was a big order, and there couldn't be any mistakes.

"Okay, we'll keep in touch by phone then," Lin Ruo said with a smile as she put away the signed contract.

As Lin Ruo drove back, it was already getting dark. She passed several gas stations and filled up with several more tanks of gasoline without hesitation. The gas cans in her storage space were full again. Fortunately, the gas cans for delivery would arrive tomorrow.
