Lu Jingnian remained silent for a moment. The main issue was that Lin Yun wanted medicine, and the base might not agree to such a trade.

Lin Yun didn’t really want to bargain with Lu Jingnian over this. She had already searched the towns and cities nearby, and almost all the medicine in the pharmacies had been taken away, let alone the hospitals.

The disaster had been going on for several months now, so almost everything useful had already been scavenged.

This made Lin Yun, the ultimate scavenger, feel extremely frustrated. She always felt like she was missing something.

Lin Yun made another decision: In the next world, she would definitely make sure to collect everything properly.

"Well... I’ll have to go back and ask." Lu Jingnian sighed before asking, "Tell me honestly, is there more than one peach tree?"

Lin Yun raised an eyebrow. "Guess."

"I’ll do my best. I’ll come to town and find you at this time tomorrow."

Lu Jingnian didn’t make any promises.

Lin Yun nodded. It didn’t matter if the base disagreed. If they did, she could simply leave it for the next world.

"I’m leaving now. You guys can get back to work."

She waved her hand and prepared to leave. She had come down the mountain specifically to discuss this matter.

"That..."

Seeing that they seemed to have finished talking, Li Ping moved closer and cautiously called out, "Xiao Lin..."

"How many?"

Li Ping chuckled. "Two of the same."

"Okay. You can come with Captain Lu tomorrow."

This time, Lin Yun really left.

She hadn’t run into Chen Anna or Yao An’an for a while. She didn’t know where they had gone, but they were probably out looking for food.

After all, food was extremely important now.

When Lin Yun returned to the mountain, she was surprised to find the tabby cat there, lying beside Tuantuan as if it were deep in thought.

"Big Cat is here too."

The tabby cat answered and then stared at Lin Yun again.

Noticing its gaze, Lin Yun walked over and stroked its head.

"What are you looking at?"

"Nothing."

The tabby cat sounded a little guilty. It couldn’t let Lin Yun know what it was thinking about.

"I’m going home first. I’ll come back to find you tomorrow."

After saying that, the tabby cat got up and ran down the mountain.

Lin Yun watched it leave, puzzled.

What’s wrong with this big cat today? Why is it acting so strangely?

Could it have grown up and started missing a female cat?

Hmm... She really didn’t understand.

Just as Lin Yun turned around to leave, Tuantuan suddenly caught her clothes with its claws.

Rip!

A hole was torn in her clothes.

Tuantuan froze.

Lin Yun: "..."

"If you don’t want me to leave, just say so. Why did you tear my clothes?"

Lin Yun was speechless.

She should probably be grateful that she had looted so many clothes from the clothing stores and e-commerce buildings.

Tuantuan was startled. It hadn’t meant to do that. It had momentarily forgotten how much strength it had and lost control.

"Alright. Tell me what you want to say."

Lin Yun sat down in front of it again.

"Stay with me?"

Tuantuan’s voice was firm.

"It’s fine if I don’t come back here. I don’t have any family here anymore. If you don’t take me with you, I’ll really become an orphan."

"Alright. I’ll include you with Ivy and the others in a moment."

Lin Yun agreed.

Since Tuantuan had made up its mind, there was no reason to refuse. Taking one more companion with her was no different from taking two.

"Really?"

Tuantuan immediately became excited, wagging its tail happily.

After the pothos and ivy had gotten to know each other, the two plants often huddled together and chatted endlessly. Lin Yun had no idea what they talked about, but apparently, they had plenty to say.

Once the three companions were together, Lin Yun added them to the Contract Directory in the order she had become acquainted with them.

Including mutated animals was a little more complicated. The animal itself had to place one of its paws on the Contract Directory before the binding could be completed.

"I’m finally a full-time employee!"

Ivy happily waved its vines, making its rivalry with Ghost Vine even more intense.

"Call me Boss! From now on, I’m your boss!"

"Why should you be the boss? I want to be the boss too!"

Ivy loved arguing with Ghost Vine, even though Ghost Vine often ended up pulling off its leaves.

However, Ivy became stronger with every fight.

Lin Yun sighed and rubbed her forehead.

These two were always fighting. Fortunately, they knew their limits. Otherwise, the shelter would probably have been torn apart by now.

The pothos was much more docile. Whenever the other two started arguing, it simply watched from the side.

If it accidentally got dragged into the argument, it would immediately pretend to be dead and refuse to take sides.

Its greatest characteristic was that it never helped either side, making it extremely worry-free.

"Tuantuan, can you shrink? You’re too big. My shelter can’t fit you."

Lin Yun looked at Tuantuan’s enormous body again.

She couldn’t exactly keep it inside the Contract Directory forever.

"It should be possible, right? I’ll try."

Tuantuan knew that its size was indeed inconvenient, but it hadn’t thought about it before. Now, it could only try.

"How do I shrink?"

Lin Yun stroked its large paw.

"Take your time. If you really can’t do it, you can stay in the Contract Directory for now."

"Hey, let me see the directory!"

Ghost Vine suddenly rushed over and asked Lin Yun for the Contract Directory.

Without suspecting anything, Lin Yun handed it over.

"Everything is recorded inside. Don’t lose it."

Before Lin Yun returned to the shelter to rest, Tuantuan finally learned how to shrink.

It even managed to transform into a tiny tiger cub.

The shrunken Tuantuan was incredibly cute. Its chubby little face looked completely different from its usual majestic appearance.

Since it was now her tiger, Lin Yun immediately picked it up and started petting it.

She had petted cats before, but she had never petted a tiger.

Tuantuan was a little embarrassed. It hadn’t expected Lin Yun to like it so much.

If it had known this would happen, it would have learned to shrink much earlier.

When they entered the shelter, Tuantuan froze.

So this was where Lin Yun had been disappearing to every day?

There really was a house here!

But it had never been able to see it.

Lin Yun was going to take a shower, so she left Ghost Vine and the others to explain everything to Tuantuan.

When she came out of the bathroom, Tuantuan was already completely stunned.

It felt as though everything it knew about the world had been shattered and rebuilt.

Although it already knew that Lin Yun was different from ordinary humans, it had never imagined that this was what she meant.

"Alright, come take a shower. Ghost Vine is here too."

Lin Yun pulled Tuantuan into the bathroom.

The older Tuantuan couldn’t be washed properly, but the smaller one needed a bath. It had been outside all this time, so there was no way she could let it sleep without cleaning it.

Tuantuan didn’t dare refuse and obediently let Lin Yun wash it from head to toe.

Ghost Vine was surprisingly self-disciplined. It had already learned how to bathe itself, so once it entered the bathroom, it immediately started washing on its own.

Lin Yun was happy to have one less thing to do.

Ghost Vine was also easy to clean. She could simply rub it between her hands, and it would be clean.

"Alright. Now you’re a clean baby."

Lin Yun dried Tuantuan’s fur with a towel before using the hairdryer to finish drying it.

"From now on, whenever you come back from playing outside, you can wash yourself. You can also help each other."
