“Fei Ge, what brings you here?” Nan Muran looked a bit surprised as she saw Guo Fei, who had come along with the military convoy.

Guo Fei glanced at Si Ye, who was standing next to Nan Muran, his brow furrowing slightly, but he didn’t say anything.

After scanning Nan Muran carefully and confirming that she wasn’t injured, he finally relaxed, having been on edge all this time: “They said that you encountered a level-six mutated beast this time.”

“Yeah, but it’s all taken care of,” Nan Muran smiled and responded.

Before coming here, Guo Fei had heard that the mutated snake had escaped, so he wasn’t aware that they had actually killed it.

He was only focused on getting Nan Muran out of this dangerous place: “Since it’s all dealt with, let’s go home.”

Nan Muran shook her head with a smile: “There are three fruit trees that we still need to head northwest for. Going back now would be a waste of time.”

Guo Fei had already checked the locations of the remaining four trees, so he understood Nan Muran’s point. He sighed lightly: “Let’s find a place to talk.”

“Follow me.” Nan Muran knew that Guo Fei had something important to discuss.

She led him to the house that the veteran had arranged earlier. After confirming the area was safe, they sat down.

“Is it true that the tree’s situation was provided by the Ouyang family? But the information wasn’t just given to the military?” After hearing Guo Fei’s words, Nan Muran frowned.

The Ouyang family also had access to underground laboratories and could have taken all the fruit for themselves. But instead, they chose to share the location of the tree with the military.

“I guess they have other plans,” Guo Fei didn’t want Nan Muran to get too involved in this power struggle too soon.

Nan Muran sneered. What plans? Clearly, they were baiting someone.

As for whether they were fishing for her or the military from the beginning, she didn’t know, but at this point, both were hooked.

She was really curious to see what kind of manipulations they had done with this tree.

“What does Chen Jianguo mean by abandoning this tree completely?”

Guo Fei nodded: “His idea is to fully understand the Ouyang family’s plans before taking any action with the tree. But he also said that since you are fully in charge of this matter, the final decision is yours.”

Nan Muran nodded. She understood Chen Jianguo’s way of thinking.

In the apocalypse, the key to survival was knowing when to control one’s desires and avoid unnecessary risks.

A clever person like Chen Jianguo would never recklessly take a risk without fully understanding the situation.

“Ranan, do you still want to go?” Guo Fei looked at the silent Nan Muran, his tone certain.

“The Ouyang family is behind the underground laboratory, and there’s also the crazy madman.”

“Before I go to their den, I want to test their strength first. It will only be beneficial, not harmful.”

Guo Fei knew that Nan Muran was obsessed with the underground laboratory, so even though he was worried, he chose to respect her decision: “I knew I couldn’t stop you.”

“Don’t worry, I value my life,” Nan Muran laughed.

“What’s going on between you and Si Ye?” Guo Fei suddenly recalled the way Si Ye had his hand on Nan Muran’s shoulder when he entered earlier. He felt irritated.

Nan Muran couldn’t help but laugh at his expression: “Are we dating?”

“Dating?” Guo Fei couldn’t hold back anymore. He wanted to ask who had agreed to this relationship.

But when he remembered that the girl was already an adult, he had to hold back his anger.

“We’ve been through a lot together, and it’s too complicated to explain in just a few sentences.”

“Fei Ge, all you need to know is that he’s the one I fought to find.”

Hearing this, Guo Fei’s simmering anger was immediately extinguished. It was clear that his precious little girl had made the first move.

Nan Muran saw that he had accepted it, so she didn’t say more.

She then casually took out five Luán fruit from her space.

“What’s this?” Guo Fei knew the value of this fruit, as he was close to Chen Jianguo.

Seeing Nan Muran take out five of them so casually, he couldn’t remain calm.

It seemed that the entire military had only been given fifteen fruits, and Chen Jianguo was hiding them away like treasures, almost worshiping them. And here Nan Muran was, casually taking out five.

“The Luán tree fruit can help ordinary people awaken special abilities.”

“Two of these are for you and Jia Jia. The other three, you decide who gets them.” Nan Muran continued.

Guo Fei understood that Nan Muran’s intention was to use these fruits to win people’s favor.

In this apocalyptic world, strength ruled, and this fruit was certainly valuable: “Don’t worry, I’ll handle it.”

“Don’t hold back. I have plenty more,” Nan Muran said as she opened the map showing the location of the Ouyang family’s tree.

“Is there a safe base near Lan City?” Nan Muran felt an ominous premonition as she looked at the tree’s location.

If there was a safe base in Lan City, they might be heading straight into a tiger’s den.

“There is, but it’s not a military base.”

“Chen Jianguo said the forces behind the Lan City safe base are complicated. Right now, all the bases around the country are operating independently, trying to break away from the central base.”

“If you’re heading there, you should hide your identities.”

This was the part Guo Fei was most worried about. The Ouyang family had given them the location of the tree near Lan City, and they couldn’t avoid the city’s safe base. But it was clear that those people were not trustworthy.

If they ended up in conflict with the entire Lan City safe base, Nan Muran and her team would be in trouble.

After discussing everything, they left the house.

This time, there were more villagers to transport, so it would take five vehicles. Considering this, Chen Jianguo had sent extra people along.

“Nan Jie.” Chen Dong and Qiangzi came over as they saw them exit.

But when facing Nan Muran, the two of them felt inexplicably guilty, and their attitude naturally became somewhat awkward and evasive.

Nan Muran, however, was as usual with them: “Is it just you two?”

“The whole Wolf Head team is here,” Chen Dong suddenly paused when he said this.

Si Ye smiled and looked at him, his tone rebellious: “Wolf Head? Let me see if they’re worthy.”

Hearing this, Chen Dong and Qiangzi both relaxed. This Si Ye was just like the old Si Ye, the leader of Wolf Head.

The stories of Si Ye and the Eagle’s heroic feats were still passed down in Wolf Head, so seeing them, everyone was excited.

The Wolf Head team was still six people. Chen Dong was the leader, and Wang Qiang was the vice-captain.

The other four were all selected from the military, and each one was a special forces expert with special abilities.

They could awaken their abilities without any outside assistance, and one even had dual abilities.

These people were incredibly talented and truly deserved the name Wolf Head. Seeing the team’s familiar strength, Si Ye and the Eagle were more than just pleased.
