"After the catastrophe not long ago, mutated plants and animals have no natural enemies to restrict them. They have been growing wildly, competing with humans for living space, and even attacking humans indiscriminately. It's understandable that animals are mutated, but how can mutated plants take the initiative to protect humans if they have no supernatural powers to control them? This is something we have never encountered before..." Ma Qian analyzed to himself.
"This guy is really weird. I've never seen such a strange wolf pack. Not only does it follow people, but it also protects them..." Li Jun said in a hoarse voice.
“…” Everyone in the group fell silent.
"Well, everyone, stay with Chen Ruoruo from now on, pay attention to controlling your own superpowers, and at the same time, be sure to protect her..." Han Xiao said with a frown.
"Captain Han, what did you do to Chen Ruoruo?" Mu Jiao looked at Han Xiao and asked seriously.
"I...what can I do...Aren't you all watching?" Han Xiao heard Mou Jiao's question, looked up and found that everyone was staring at him. He was speechless for a moment and his expression was a little embarrassed.
Although he knew that Mou Jiao was just asking a routine question and had no other intentions, he still felt a little embarrassed when he thought of the scene where he unconsciously held Chen Ruoruo's hand.
"As soon as I pulled Chen Ruoruo's hand, the vine immediately wrapped around it, and then my whole arm was twisted like a pretzel, and then it became like this... Really... What can I do in public?" Looking at the group of people who were still looking at him in silence, Han Xiao spread his hands helplessly, trying to explain.
"Uh-huh..."
"Okay, we get it..."
"Captain Han, we believe in you...really..."
Perhaps in order to ease the tense atmosphere, everyone tacitly agreed to be perfunctory with Han Xiao, looking at him with a playful look in their eyes.
"Really... I..." Han Xiao looked at the expressions of the group of people. Now he really had no way to defend himself. In the end, he stopped talking and had a gloomy face.
"Okay, okay, everyone go and get busy..." Zhou Zhiguo said to the group of people.
In the next three days, Han Xiao recovered from his injury, and his team members continued to study the pot of water they brought back from Chen Ruoruo. Chen Ruoruo still stayed in her little world, living a comfortable life of going to bed late and getting up late.
Trucks continued to drive into the base. On the afternoon of the third day, Qi Jiang and others returned to the base when it was getting dark.
Afterwards, when everyone arrived, Zhou Zhiguo brought a group of people to Chen Ruoruo's residence again.
"Ruoruo..."
"Ms. Chen..."
Looking at Chen Ruoruo sitting at the door of the small bungalow, and Erlangzi and the Wolf King and a few others gathered around him. There was a pot on the campfire at the door, and it seemed to be cooking something, gurgling and emitting hot steam. The air was faintly filled with the aroma of milk.
The group of people standing at the gate of the fence looked at Chen Ruoruo not far away with some surprise. They were afraid that Chen Ruoruo had already rested, so they hurried over as soon as Qi Jiang and the others came back.
"Come in..." Chen Ruoruo said to the group of people standing at the gate of the fence. She knew they would definitely come tonight, so she had been waiting at the door of the small bungalow.
After hearing Chen Ruoruo's words, the group opened the gate and walked in. Xia Xiaoying and Li Xue rushed ahead of Zhou Zhiguo and Han Xiao and their group, and quickly ran to Chen Ruoruo.
A few people gathered around the campfire curiously, watching the bubbling liquid in the iron pot. The rich aroma filled their faces, and they couldn't help swallowing.
“It smells so good…”
"I smell a milky fragrance..."
"It's obviously sweet..."
“No…”
"No, milk isn't this color..."
Several others chimed in, whispering to each other. Suddenly, the once quiet courtyard became bustling with activity. Zhou Zhiguo, Han Xiao, and the others who had come up from behind also noticed the scent in the air, but they managed to control themselves and remained calm, lest their overreactions spark Chen Ruoruo's displeasure.
"Ruoruo, what did you do?"
"Yes, yes, Ruoruo, tell us quickly..."
Xia Xiaoying, Li Xue and others stood by the campfire, looking at Chen Ruoruo with anticipation, waiting for the latter to give them an answer.
"Get your own cup..." Chen Ruoruo looked at the few people, curled the corners of her mouth, looked at the cup on the table, raised her chin and said.
"Okay..." When Li Xue and the others saw Chen Ruoruo, they didn't bother to be polite with her anymore and responded excitedly.
Then, a group of people walked up to Chen Ruoruo, picked up the cups on the table, and then went to the iron pot and worked together to scoop the brown liquid inside into the cups with spoons, and then the other people distributed it to everyone present very familiarly.
Han Xiao and his team members looked at Chen Ruoruo who was sitting calmly at the table, and then stared at Xia Xiaoying and her group in amazement. They were not polite at all and went to work with cups in hand, while Chen Ruoruo seemed to have known they would come and had prepared these in advance.
Unlike Xia Xiaoying and the others who were at ease, Han Xiao and his group had been on edge since they stepped in here, trembling with fear, afraid that they would accidentally displease Chen Ruoruo again. They even began to envy the relaxed relationship between Xia Xiaoying and the others and Chen Ruoruo.
Tao Wei and the others who followed Zhou Zhiguo looked at the things in their hands, looking at Zhou Zhiguo with some confusion. They were very conflicted and didn't know whether to drink it or not. They just smelled the fragrance that drifted to their noses and couldn't help swallowing.
While Zhou Zhiguo and Han Xiao were still hesitating whether to drink from their cups, Xia Xiaoying and Li Xue had already quickly distributed portions to everyone. They also poured themselves a cup and couldn't wait to taste it.
"Ah... It's so hot... So hot..."
"Be careful..."
"It seems to be milk tea..."
"Yeah, yes..."
“A delicious taste that brings back memories...”
"Oh my god, how long has it been since I last had milk tea..."
“It’s delicious, delicious…”
Xia Xiaoying, Li Xue and others were drinking and discussing in low voices, exclaiming from time to time, with smiles of surprise and happiness on their faces. From time to time, they turned their heads to look at Chen Ruoruo who was standing beside them, with unstoppable joy on their faces.
After hearing the conversation between Xia Xiaoying and the others, Zhou Zhiguo, Han Xiao and the others nearby couldn't help but take a sip of the brown liquid in the cup in their hands out of curiosity. Then they all looked at Chen Ruoruo at the same time. When Chen Ruoruo saw their gazes, she just raised the cup in front of her and gestured with a faint smile on her face.
