Early in the morning, Lan Ke just walked out of the bedroom and saw many people working out in the living room downstairs. Some were throwing knives, some were lying on the ground doing push-ups and planks, and they were very busy.
Downstairs, Bai Hu heard the door open, turned around and was stunned, staring at the Maine Coon cat beside Lan Ke: "Sister Lan, where did this cat come from?"
The Maine Coon cat had changed a lot since last night. Although it was still a kitten, its body had grown two times bigger and was the same size as an adult cat. Although it was only one night, the hair on its back that had been shaved had grown back and the wound was completely invisible.
Lan Ke checked its wound and found that the wound from last night had completely healed and the stitches could be removed directly.
This kind of healing speed is simply not something that humans can achieve.
However, this Maine Coon cat did not become an alien cat, but luckily became an evolved cat. In the apocalypse, evolved animals and evolved plants are collectively referred to as alien beasts and alien plants. Although they are only one word different from alien species, their habits and appearance are very different.
The biggest difference is that exotic animals and plants can be tamed and become humans' fighting partners, but alien species can only be killed. Their brutal natures are destined to make them humans' mortal enemies!
Previously, Lan Ke lied about Babao's origin and said it was an evolved bird. But now, the Maine Coon cat following her is a real evolved cat.
It has already recognized Lan Ke as its master and will follow Lan Ke anytime and anywhere, risking life and death for her.
Babao was very dissatisfied with this, but unfortunately he could only hold it in. The Maine Coon failed to degenerate into a different species, but instead successfully evolved, so he and Douya never had the chance to make a move again.
"It came here last night and was injured. I treated it, and it evolved in the middle of the night." Lan Ke briefly explained the origin of the Maine Coon cat, and then said, "Its name is Zhaocai, and it will be my pet from now on."
"Oh, what an auspicious name!" Qian Sheng said with a smile, and looked curiously at Zhaocai who was following Lan Ke closely. "Sister Lan, will this animal also awaken and evolve like humans?"
"Why not?" Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Lan Ke felt it necessary to take this opportunity to give these people a shot of prevention, lest they ignore those animals and plants and take it too lightly.
She raised her wrist to show the bean sprouts on it, and pointed to the eight treasures standing on the stair railing as a sculpture: "Eight treasures are flying birds, bean sprouts are plants, and Zhaocai is a walking animal. These three alone represent the three major species. Don't you understand?"
Although he didn't elaborate, everyone present understood what Lan Ke meant. If the eight treasures could evolve, then other animals and plants could also evolve!
If they don't take it seriously, they will suffer a great loss sooner or later!
But how many plants and animals are there in the world? If all of them can evolve, can humans survive
Gradually, everyone's expression became solemn and they felt that the future was bleak.
Lan Ke shook her head. These people really needed to be trained. They were too weak!
She reminded again: "Evolved animals and plants will become smarter, and they are not as ferocious as the alien species. If they can be subdued, it will definitely be a great help to humans! What you should worry about now is not these evolved animals and plants, but those man-eating monsters!"
This made everyone think deeply, but Bai Hu suddenly asked: "Sister Lan, what are the alien species you are talking about? Are they those man-eating monsters?"
Lan Ke then realized that she had accidentally said the name "alien". Seeing that everyone was looking at her, Lan Ke said calmly: "Yes, this is the name I privately gave to those man-eating monsters. Do you have any objections?"
Of course they didn’t!
Everyone shook their heads, and then they felt that the name "exotic" was quite appropriate! Although they were used to calling those things monsters, since Lan Ke said they were aliens, they just changed their words!
This little disturbance passed quickly without causing much ripples.
After breakfast, Lan Ke continued to lead the team out. Bai Ling and the other four remained behind, while the rest followed Lan Ke. When they opened the door, the eight temporary team members who had joined last night were already waiting outside.
Seeing Babao and Zhaocai, the eight people were obviously stunned. However, Lan Ke just glanced at them and had no intention of explaining.
Since the eight people did not come to surrender sincerely, she naturally would not treat them as her own people.
The heavy rain outside had stopped and the sky began to clear up. It looked like a rare good day. However, looking at the sunlight in the sky, Lan Ke frowned.
She prefers rainy days to sunny days because fewer people go out on rainy days, but when the weather clears up, more people are willing to go out to collect supplies.
Sure enough, before they even left the house, many people came out one after another and asked to follow them.
Lan Ke did not refuse, but said: "The rules are the same as before. You drive yourself and your life and death are at your own risk."
The truck and bus started quickly, followed by several private cars. Everyone knew that hiding at home was useless, so they had to muster up the courage to go out.
Sitting on the bus, Lan Ke opened the map and started to check. She didn't plan to go to the mall or supermarket this time, her goal was a comprehensive market nearby.
This market sells a wide variety of items, including food, clothing, shoes, bags, and household kitchenware, making it ideal for collecting supplies.
However, it is a sunny day today, so there must be many people eyeing this place.
Lan Ke closed the map, calculated the time needed on the road, and secretly wondered what to do if he encountered other teams.
At this moment, Babao suddenly sent her a voice message: "Host, [Tribal Warrior] sent you a private message!"
"[Tribal Warrior]?" Lan Ke almost forgot who this person was. It took her a while to remember, "Is he the one who sells white cloud mushrooms?"
It’s not Lan Ke’s fault that she has a bad memory. The [Tribal Warrior] hasn’t patronized her business for a long time. Lan Ke has so many things to do every day, it would be strange if she could remember him.
If the white cloud mushroom wasn't so delicious that she couldn't forget it after having tasted it once, she wouldn't have been able to remember who this person was.
Babao nodded: "Yes, it's him!"
Lan Ke immediately became interested. She had always wanted to buy some more white cloud mushrooms, or even purchase them on a long-term basis. However, the last time she sent a private message to [Tribal Warrior] asking for a purchase, [Tribal Warrior] never replied, so she let the matter go.
Now that the [Tribal Warrior] has taken the initiative to find her, she can't let this opportunity go to waste!
Lan Ke looked around calmly, then turned sideways and pretended to look at the scenery outside the window. Although others could not see the system panel, Lan Ke was worried that others would see her little action and become suspicious.
Quietly opening the system panel, Lan Ke clicked on the private message sent by [Tribal Warrior], and then was stunned.
