I'm on the Ark, and I start out as Gretchen.

"That's true. Little Gretchen has been with us for so long, she must have been hungry the whole time. So give her more."

"I know, I know, you don't need to nag. This little guy was a big hero this time."

The yetis in charge of cooking greeted Gretchen with smiles, not only welcoming her warmly but also seemingly wishing the little girl would eat more.

"Gresh isn't very hungry right now, but I'd like to bring some over to Alyona. Thank you for your help." Looking at the enthusiastic Yetis, Gresh gently shook her head and then said earnestly.

"Oh, okay? Then I'll go deliver it for you. Just sit here and eat, my cooking is really good." After hearing Gretchen's words, Ivan laughed heartily and started serving the food.

"No need to trouble Brother Ivan, I've already spoken with Alyona." Gretchen declined Ivan's offer with a serious look in her eyes.

"Alright then, remember to come back for dinner after you're done. Be careful, it's hot." Looking at the earnest little girl, Ivan reluctantly gave in and handed her the prepared dinner.

"Ah."

With a gentle nod, Gretchen carefully accepted the dinner, then turned and left.

But once she was out of the Yetis' sight, she stopped and whispered, "Mr. Wolf, could you please deliver this to me?"

After the giant wolf appeared out of thin air as usual, Gretchen carefully handed over the food she was holding.

"..."

On

After receiving the food, the golden-red wolf faithfully went to carry out his little princess's mission.

P.S.: I'm working on a word count challenge with other authors today. I think I'll finish Chapter 2 relatively quickly. Keep pushing me and give me some votes!

Chapter 36 Möbius

"..."

After watching her wolf husband leave, Gretchen also left.

However, she didn't intend to return to the warehouse; instead, she planned to find a secluded place to try and change her identity.

After taking a short stroll, Gretchen finally used a blind spot to plunge back into the dark forest.

However, she stopped after walking for a short while... because it was just a small experiment, and there was no need to go too far. Wasting too much time would make it difficult to explain when she returned.

Gretsch glanced back through the gaps in the trees at the brightly lit mine, then with a thought, a pale green light enveloped her.

When the light faded again, Gretchen's figure had undergone a tremendous change.

Then, in the next instant, she covered her head and took a moment to catch her breath. This time, she learned her lesson and did not try to probe into Möbius's equally vast memory.

A moment later, when she opened her eyes and saw what was in front of her, the first thought that came to her mind was...it's so high.

That's right, Gretchen chose to transform into a giant snake this time. However, having recently gotten used to the perspective of a little girl, she was a little unaccustomed to this sudden change.

She also discovered that, compared to Gretsch, Mebius actually had night vision, allowing him to see things very clearly in the dark forest.

"Hehe, this feeling is wonderful~"

However, Gretchen didn't try this state for long. After moving her body around a bit, she transformed back into a little girl.

Then, Mebius was conjured up in another way.

"..."

Seeing Mebius, who had suddenly appeared beside her in a white lab coat, Gretchen raised her head and looked at her intently.

After careful observation, the little girl discovered that although the snake in front of her seemed to be a different individual from herself, with completely different thoughts and ways of thinking, they could still achieve a wonderful connection.

"Grandma Mebius, um... good evening."

Then, as if remembering something, Gretchen whispered something to Mebius.

That one sentence froze the smile on Mebius's delicate face.

After taking a deep breath and catching her breath for a while, Snake gritted her teeth and said in the gentlest voice she could muster, "Phew... Gretchen, you should call me 'older sister'~ Don't learn bad habits from Alicia."

"Understood, Grandma Mebius."

Upon hearing this, Gretchen gently nodded her little head and then answered.

"...? You little rascal."

When he heard the term "grandmother" again, Mebius almost lost his composure and couldn't help but reach out and pinch Gretsch's smooth and soft little face.

"Well……"

"Alright, Gretchen, you should go back now. If you stay any longer, those people will become suspicious."

"Go get something to eat and take care of yourself."

After giving his instructions, Möbius released Gretchen's face and gently rubbed her head.

"OK, all right."

After Gretchen finished speaking, Mebius transformed into a beam of green light and disappeared into her body.

"..."

Gleish paused for a moment, slightly taken aback, as she stared at the suddenly quiet, dark forest.

To be honest, the feeling of interacting with myself just now was quite magical to the little girl.

Then, Gretchen gently shook her head and turned back the way she came.

As Möbius said, if one stays here for too long, others will find that one has disappeared, and then it will be difficult to explain.

However, Gretchen thinks that if the Yetis find themselves missing, their first reaction will probably be that they have entered a mine.

After all, just before, when Yelena and the others entered the mine to rescue people, she wanted to follow but was directly refused.

The reason everyone refused to let Gretchen go in was that she was not infected and would be easily infected if she entered the mine.

If witnessing the little girl's strength allows everyone to relax during the battle...

Therefore, no one would agree to or back down the idea of ​​going down into the mine.

Moreover, no one can be sure that the infected in the mine will be emotionally stable. If one or two lunatics were to use the raw gems to hurt Gretsch... that's something no one dares to even think about.

Knowing the suffering of the infected, all the infected who cared about Gretchen, including Yelena, would never allow her to take such a risk.

……

However, Gretchen remained skeptical about whether she would be infected.

Of course, she didn't try it lightly. Although she knew Honkai energy was omnipotent, if she couldn't prevent a real infection, things would get really bad.

Later, Gretchen planned to have her grandmother, Mebius, thoroughly research the question of whether fusion warriors could contract Oripathy.

Lost in thought, Gretchen retraced her steps and returned to the mine.

At this very moment, her little

She was extremely hungry, but she wasn't in a hurry to eat.

After all, hunger doesn't really affect fusion warriors.

Gretchen then planned to return to the warehouse to be with Alyona, and only after confirming that Alyona's wounds had been treated and that she had eaten would she address her own dinner needs.

----------------------

"Why are you bringing the food? Where's little Greta? Did she just eat outside?" Lois asked in confusion as she watched the large wolf bring over dinner.

Her words also drew the attention of Alyona, whose arm was being bandaged.

"..."

However, it was clear that Mr. Wolf of the Gretchen family had no intention of answering Lois.

He gently placed the dinner he was holding on the box beside him, then turned around and silently stood guard beside the two of them, waiting for his little princess to arrive.

"She's so aloof. It seems like little Gretchen was kept out for dinner by Ivan and the others."

Lois didn't seem to care about Mr. Wolf's aloof behavior; she simply shook her head helplessly and continued to bandage Alyona's wounds.

P.S.: This hurts so much! I thought writing with everyone would make it faster, but it turns out I'm just slacking off, and I'm writing this late again. I have to get up at 6 am tomorrow, this is terrifying.

By the way, it's going to be available next week. Do you guys think it's necessary to offer a bounty? And like I said, remember to urge them to hurry up.

Chapter 37 Hairy Ears

Gretchen continued walking through the mine according to her previous idea, but after passing through several buildings, she discovered that there were more people in the mine at some point, and they were all unfamiliar faces.

However, after observing the expressions and clothing of these people for a while, she understood what was going on.

These people, who were arranged to rest and eat in various places in the mine, were likely infected miners rescued from the mine by the Yeti team. Judging from their numbers, they probably didn't represent all the miners in the mine.

"..."

As Gretchen observed the infected, many of them also noticed this little guy who seemed completely out of place in the environment.

Of course, most of them only glanced at it a few times, because compared to the cute little girl, these hungry infected were more interested in the food they were holding in their hands.

However, a few people, after glancing at Gretchen's exposed, smooth skin, had a dark glint in their eyes.

Some of the winners have even quietly moved to another spot and slipped away to report to the Yeti team.

Gretchen was completely unconcerned about the stares and subtle gestures of these people, because there was no need for her to care.

Are they concerned that these people will see that they are not infected and report to the Yetis?

Putting aside the fact that they were originally one group, even if Grey were an outsider, she wouldn't be afraid of the Yeti team at all if a fight broke out.

After glancing around a few more times, the little girl stopped and headed towards the warehouse where Lois and the others were. She figured it was better to spend time with Alyona than waste time here.

……

"I am back."

Standing at the warehouse door, Gretchen first called out softly into the warehouse with a blank expression before taking small steps inside.

After she finished speaking, the first person to greet the little girl was none other than her own beloved Mr. Wolf.

Gretchen was not surprised to see the giant red wolf that came to greet her.

However, she quickly seemed to remember something and said seriously, "Um... Mr. Wolf, there is one more thing I would like to ask you."

"..."

After hearing Gretchen's words, Mr. Wolf nodded without hesitation and agreed.

Looking at Mr. Wolf, who nodded without hesitation, a smile flickered in Gretchen's large violet eyes, and she said softly:
