She rested in the space for one night, and was woken up by a knocking sound before dawn the next day.

"Knock knock knock—"

"Little cousin! Little cousin, are you awake?"

It was Su Wenhao's voice, full of energy.

Outside the door, He Li was scolding her son in a low voice: "Why are you knocking on the door so early? Your cousin must be sleeping after a long day yesterday! Go away, don't disturb her rest."

"Mom, I just wanted to take my little cousin out to play as soon as possible!" Su Wenhao's voice was filled with grievance.

Just then, the door clicked open.

Jiang Zhiyu was wearing a simple white tracksuit, with her hair loosely tied back, looking refreshing and energetic.

"Little cousin, you're awake!" Su Wenhao's eyes lit up, and he immediately came over. "Come on, come on, big brother will take you out to play today! Where do you want to go? The zoo? The amusement park? Or the shopping mall?"

Jiang Zhiyu thought for a moment and said, "The zoo, anywhere else is fine with me."

"Alright!" Su Wenhao clapped his hands excitedly, grabbed her hand, and headed downstairs. "Let's go to the zoo first! Let me tell you, the San Francisco Zoo is huge, with lots of rare animals you've never seen before!"

He Li shook her head helplessly from behind, but didn't say anything more.

Inside the restaurant, Zhang Ma had already prepared breakfast.

Crab roe buns, egg and lean pork congee, fried dough sticks, milk, soy milk, and several side dishes filled the table, emitting a wonderful aroma.

"Yu Yu's awake!" Shen Peiyu smiled and waved when she saw her. "Come and have breakfast, see if there's anything you like."

"Thank you, Grandma."

Jiang Zhiyu walked over, ladled out a bowl of lean meat porridge, and took two crab roe buns.

"Why are you only eating so little?" Shen Peiyu frowned, then put two more crab roe buns on her plate. "You're a child, you're still growing, eat more. These crab roe buns are Zhang Ma's special recipe, they're especially fresh and delicious, you should try them."

Helpless, Jiang Zhiyu could only eat two more.

Su Wenhao, wolfing down his food beside her, urged between bites, "Little cousin, hurry up and eat! We'll leave as soon as we're done! If we're late, the tigers and lions will be asleep!"

"What's the rush?" Shen Peiyu glared at him. "Tell your cousin to eat slowly, so she doesn't choke."

After finally finishing their meal, Su Wenhao immediately pulled Jiang Zhiyu outside.

In the yard, there was a cool black motorcycle with sleek lines, which looked very valuable.

"How's it? Cool, right?" Su Wenhao patted the motorcycle seat and said proudly, "I saved up my allowance for half a year to buy this! Get on, let's go for a ride!"

Jiang Zhiyu's eyes lit up when she looked at the motorcycle.

She often rode a motorcycle in the apocalypse, and the sense of freedom that came with that speed was truly captivating.

"Be careful!" Su Lixing came out of the house and frowned when he saw this scene. He was about to speak up to stop them when He Li pulled him back.

"Didn't you see how bright Yu Yu's eyes lit up when she saw the car?" He Li said softly. "Let them be. Kids all like playing with these things. Wen Hao is 22 years old; he knows his limits and won't hurt Yu Yu."

Seeing the light in Jiang Zhiyu's eyes, Su Lixing swallowed the words he was about to say and could only glare helplessly at Su Wenhao: "You brat, slow down! If you dare to hurt your cousin even a little bit, see how I deal with you!"

"Okay, Dad!" Su Wenhao responded excitedly, handing Jiang Zhiyu a helmet. "Little cousin, put it on and sit tight!"

Jiang Zhiyu put on the helmet, sat behind him, and gently placed her hand on his waist.

Let's go!

Su Wenhao twisted the throttle, and the motorcycle shot off with a "whoosh," speeding towards the zoo.

Su Lixing stood at the door, watching the motorcycle disappear into the distance, shook his head helplessly, and felt a little envious.

Sigh, it's all that brat Su Wenhao's fault. He actually managed to steal his precious niece away before he could.

He had originally planned to drive Yu Yu out for a stroll today.

---

The motorcycle sped along, sparks flying, and soon arrived at the zoo.

The weather was nice today, and the zoo was quite crowded, mostly with parents who brought their children.

Su Wenhao parked the car, bought two tickets, and led Jiang Zhiyu inside.

"Come on, little cousin, let your big brother show you around!" Su Wenhao led her forward familiarly. "Let's go to the panda enclosure first. Let me tell you, the pandas here are so cute! They can do somersaults and roll around!"

The two went to the panda enclosure first.

Inside the glass wall, two chubby giant pandas were happily munching on bamboo. Suddenly, one of them slipped and fell flat on its back, making the surrounding tourists burst into laughter.

Jiang Zhiyu looked at the clumsy giant panda and couldn't help but smile.

These furry, round creatures are indeed very therapeutic.

After seeing the pandas, the two went to the monkey mountain.

There are many monkeys on Monkey Mountain. They are jumping around, some swinging on swings, some picking lice off each other, and some bold ones even reach out to snatch snacks from tourists' hands.

Su Wenhao bought a bag of peanuts and threw it to the monkeys. The monkeys immediately scrambled for it, creating a lively scene.

Next up is the giraffe enclosure.

Several giraffes strolled leisurely, their long necks stretched high, elegantly eating leaves from the trees. Children offered them leaves, and the giraffes lowered their heads, obediently eating the leaves from the children's hands, their long eyelashes fluttering – they were especially adorable.

Then came the elephant enclosure, rhinoceros enclosure, hippopotamus enclosure, zebra enclosure...

Su Wenhao was indeed very familiar with the place. He led Jiang Zhiyu through each venue, explaining things to her vividly.

Jiang Zhiyu followed him, watching all sorts of animals, and gradually relaxed.

The animals she encountered in the apocalypse were either zombies or fighting for survival. She hadn't seen an animal living quietly and carefree like this in a long time.

This feeling is novel and comfortable.

Before they knew it, the two had wandered into the predator enclosure.

"Come on, little cousin, let's go see the tigers!" Su Wenhao said excitedly. "Let me tell you, the tigers here are incredibly majestic. Last time I came, I happened to catch them eating meat, and they were so ferocious!"

Jiang Zhiyu's heart stirred.

Perfect timing! She also wanted to see if there were any suitable companions for Hu Batian.

The two walked to the viewing platform in the tiger enclosure and looked inside through the thick glass.

The tiger enclosure is quite large, with artificial hills, trees, and ponds.

At this moment, four tigers were lying on the grass sunbathing.

Two of them are Sumatran tigers, which are relatively smaller and have darker fur with denser stripes; the other two are Siberian tigers, also known as Amur tigers, which are large and have lighter fur, making them look particularly majestic.

Jiang Zhiyu's eyes lit up instantly.

Hey, isn't this like someone bringing you a pillow when you're sleepy?

Two males and two females are just right; they'll be perfect to take back and keep Hu Batian company.

She silently memorized the location, but her face remained expressionless. She watched the tiger with Su Wenhao for a while, and then went to see the lion, leopard, bear and other ferocious beasts.

By the time we finished touring the entire zoo, it was almost afternoon.

"How was it, little cousin? Did you have fun?" Su Wenhao asked as he led her outside.

"Yes, it was a lot of fun," Jiang Zhiyu nodded sincerely, "Thank you, cousin."

"Don't be so polite with me!" Su Wenhao waved his hand, smiling brightly. "If you want to go out anytime, just call me! I'll take you to all the fun places in San Francisco!"

The two left the zoo, found a fast food restaurant nearby, ate some hamburgers and fries, and then rode their motorcycle home at breakneck speed.

As soon as she arrived home, Shen Peiyu greeted her with a beaming smile: "Yuyu's back! Did you have fun going out with your cousin today?"

"Yes, I'm very happy," Jiang Zhiyu nodded, a faint smile on her lips, her eyes bright, looking more charming and girlish than usual.

Seeing her like this, Shen Peiyu laughed even more happily, took her hand and asked her all sorts of questions, such as what animals she had seen, whether she was tired, and whether she had eaten enough.

Su Wenhao stood there for a while, and seeing that his grandmother only had eyes for his little cousin, he couldn't help but say jealously, "Grandma, didn't you see I'm back too?"

"Oh, my little grandson is back too," Shen Peiyu said with a smile, glancing at him. "He did well today, taking care of his little sister."

The moment the words "little grandson" left his lips, Su Wenhao jumped three feet high, looking utterly devastated: "Grandma! How many times have I told you! Don't call me 'little grandson' in front of my cousin! I'm 22 already! I'm not a child anymore!"

Jiang Zhiyu watched him from the side and couldn't stop laughing.

After dinner, Jiang Zhiyu greeted everyone and said she was tired and would go upstairs to rest.

Her family didn't think much of it, just assumed she was tired from visiting the zoo all day and told her to get some rest.

Jiang Zhiyu returned to her room, locked the door, and after confirming that no one would disturb her, she teleported directly to the zoo she had visited during the day.

It was late at night, and the zoo was quiet; there wasn't a soul in sight.

Following her memory of the location, Jiang Zhiyu instantly teleported to the tiger area.

The four tigers were sleeping on the ground. Hearing the noise, they raised their heads warily and growled in her direction.

Jiang Zhiyu smiled and, without saying a word, used her mental power to instantly calm the four tigers down. Then, with a wave of her hand, she put all four tigers into her spatial storage.

After collecting the tiger, she took another stroll around the zoo.

Anyway, the mountains in this space are so big now, it doesn't matter if we raise more wild animals, which can form a complete food chain.

She picked and chose, collecting several males and several females of each kind of animal—lions, leopards, wolves, deer, antelopes, zebras, giraffes—and putting them into her space.

She didn't want the ones that were too small or too aggressive.

Since the ecosystem in the space has just recovered, it's better to release some milder animals that can easily form a stable food chain first.

Jiang Zhiyu stopped when she had collected enough.

"Seventeen," Jiang Zhiyu instructed in her mind, "Release all these animals into the mountains, scattering them a bit far apart, so they can adapt to the environment first. Once they've rested, they'll automatically form a food chain. Keep an eye on them, and make sure they don't fight and destroy the newly restored ecosystem."

"Don't worry, host!" Seventeen immediately replied, "I'll make sure everything is arranged perfectly for you!"

Jiang Zhiyu nodded, and with a thought, she teleported back to the Su family's room.

She walked to the window, lifted a corner of the curtain, looked at the night outside, and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.

Tiger Overlord's companion has been found.

Next, we should go and see those electronic products and that semiconductor lab.

Isn't the US trying to impose a technology embargo?

She wanted to see what they would have left to impose an embargo on after she had taken all the most advanced technology and equipment.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhiyu's smile deepened.
