After entering the house, Jiang Nian'an took out the sack again, opened it, and found that it was full of first-level crystal cores, enough for the four of them to advance to the second level.
Before she could speak, Xiao Zi used its tail to curl up more than a dozen crystal cores and forcefully stuffed them into Jiang Nian'an's hand.
It brought back so many energy stones for its owner; the owner must love it the most!
Jiang Nian'an looked at the crystal core, then at Xiao Zi, who was excitedly wagging her vine tail. She was moved, amused, and annoyed all at once.
She poked its little head with her finger. "Did you go to the mission point at the Ning City base?"
Upon hearing this, Little Purple's swaying vine tail instantly stopped, and she shook her little head like a rattle drum.
Seeing it shake its head, Jiang Nian'an's eyes flashed with doubt, "Didn't you take these crystal cores from the mission point?"
Xiao Zi nodded quickly.
Jiang Nian'an frowned.
She suspected that Xiao Zi didn't know what the mission point looked like, so she changed her question.
"Did you take these crystal cores from a large, square house?"
Little Purple shook its head again; it had never been to any big, square house.
Jiang Nian'an was taken aback. "Then where did these crystal cores come from?"
Although the apocalypse is a world of competition and strife, she had no intention of acting like a bandit and stealing anything good that others had.
'Chirp chirp'
Little Purple let out two soft cries, trying to explain.
Jiang Nian'an couldn't help but rub her forehead.
She forgot that she couldn't understand the language of plants.
Xiao Zi shook her head, anxiously spinning around in place.
The language barrier makes it difficult to speak.
Seeing this, Shen Nanxing said to Jiang Nian'an, "An'an, since it wasn't taken from the mission point, let's wait until dawn to talk about it."
"Then, have Xiao Zi take Yun Fan and Yun Hua to the place where the crystal cores came from, and we'll know where they came from."
Jiang Nian'an had no better solution, so she nodded and put the sack back into her spatial storage.
Shen Nanxing listened to the sounds downstairs and, finding it quiet, pushed open the door and went out.
Hearing the commotion, Yunfan and Yunhua were in the living room. When they saw him come out, they went to greet him.
"Brother Chen, what was that noise just now?"
Shen Nanxing shook his head at the two of them, "It's alright, go back to sleep first, we'll talk about it when it's light."
Hearing him say that, Yunfan and Yunhua stopped asking questions, nodded, and turned back to continue resting.
Jiang Nian'an yawned and lay back down on the bed. Xiao Zi slowly crawled to her side.
Jiang Nian'an patted its little head. "Little Purple, next time you go out, you must tell me, okay?"
Xiao Zi nodded gently in Jiang Nian'an's palm, being incredibly obedient.
He had completely lost the bandit-like air he had when he dragged back the sack of marijuana.
After Jiang Nian'an fell into a deep sleep, Xiao Zi secretly climbed onto the window and peered down.
Good, those guys didn't chase after us.
Hmph, if it weren't for the need to get those energy stones back to their owner as soon as possible, and the fact that those guys smelled of that little ball, it would have eaten them all!
Xiao Zi shook her body, raised her head high, returned to Jiang Nian'an's side, curled up, and fell asleep.
As dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room through the window, Jiang Nian'an suddenly opened her eyes and got out of bed.
Just now, Little Azure Dragon told her that it smelled the same scent as Black Maruko on Little Purple.
She grabbed the still somewhat dazed Little Purple and asked it with a serious expression, "When you went out yesterday, did you come into contact with this again?"
Jiang Nian'an took out the small black pill.
Little Purple nodded; it had made contact with it yesterday, right?
"So you didn't eat, did you?"
Although Xiao Zi had already promised her, Jiang Nian'an's heart still skipped a beat at this moment.
Xiao Zi quickly shook her head.
Jiang Nian'an breathed a sigh of relief, then got out of bed and quickly walked out of the bedroom.
The living room was quiet; Shen Nanxing and the other two were still asleep.
Jiang Nian'an went into the bathroom, quickly washed up and used the toilet. After leaving a note on the table, she left with Xiao Zi.
After much thought, she decided to go to the place where Xiao Zi found the crystal core herself.
After going downstairs, Xiao Zi crawled into the fanny pack that Jiang Nian'an was carrying, leaving only her little head outside to guide her.
Under Xiao Zi's guidance, Jiang Nian'an walked out of the base, found a secluded spot, took out a car from her spatial storage, and drove north.
Half an hour later, following Xiao Zi's instructions, Jiang Nian'an stopped near an abandoned factory with its gates tightly closed.
Jiang Nian'an asked Xiao Zi in a low voice, "Was that bag of crystal cores found in there?"
Little Purple nodded, "Chirp~"
'swish swish'
Just as Jiang Nian'an was about to use the surrounding weeds as cover to sneak towards the abandoned factory, a noise suddenly came from the bushes on her right.
A bright red carnivorous flower darted out of the grass, its mouth full of tiny teeth snapping open as it lunged at Jiang Nian'an.
Before Jiang Nian'an could make a move, a black shadow leaped up and bit the man-eating flower, causing it to wither and decay rapidly.
'Hiss'
Xiao Yin and Da Wang quickly came to Jiang Nian'an's side.
"Little Silver, Your Majesty!"
Jiang Nian'an was pleasantly surprised. She squatted down in front of them and reached out to pat the two little guys on the head. "How did you get here?"
We were foraging for food nearby when we sensed our owner's presence.
The king raised his head and hissed twice at Jiang Nian'an.
Xiao Yin climbed onto Jiang Nian'an's shoulder and looked up at the abandoned factory.
