She was a Ren Family Female General riding a Mutated Unicorn White Horse.
Dressed in Ice Blue Camouflage Light Armor emblazoned with the character "Ren" on her chest, this woman in her early twenties exuded a striking and imposing presence.
Like Ren Xiao, this female general also carried a camouflage Bioelectric Crossbow on her back.
At her waist hung a Long-Handled Curved Blade, well-worn from battle.
Her over-the-knee blue velvet long boots lightly pressed against the stirrups while tightly gripping the horse's belly.
Sitting atop the horse, she held her back straight, as if maintaining a regal posture.
In such a hot and humid Rainforest, wearing this entire outfit, the hardships she endured were likely known only to her.
However, for safety's sake, she dared not remove her armor.
If one got close enough, they could catch the scent of sweat emanating from her, distinct from the typical fragrance of an Intermediate Warrior.
Standing nearly 1.7 meters tall, she was considerably taller than most women in this post-apocalyptic world.
In fact, she was even slightly taller than the twenty or so male cavalrymen of the Ren Family Army accompanying her.
With sharp eyes and a slender oval face that resembled ice and jade, this female general was a rare beauty in the apocalypse.
Yet, unlike Ren Xiao's cute appearance, there was an essential difference; her thin brows and phoenix-like eyes, along with her sharply defined features, conveyed an ever-present aura of restrained killing intent.
It was as if she could suddenly strike someone down without warning at any moment.
Ren Xiao heard the sound of galloping horses and turned to see the female general approaching her and Chen Zao. Excitedly, she waved and called out, "Sister Four! You’re back from the hunt? Did you catch that mutated Deep Sea Beast?"
It turned out that this female general was Ren Changdong's fourth daughter, known as the "Frosty Female General"—Ren Bing.
Previously, it was reported that a remarkably swift and electric mutated Deep Sea Beast had been spotted in a swamp about ten kilometers southwest of Luohan Slope. Ren Bing immediately led her cavalry Hunting Team there, hoping to obtain the valuable mutated Energy Core from the beast.
However, seeing their dejected return, it was clear they had not succeeded in hunting the Deep Sea Beast.
With a cold expression, Ren Bing brought her horse to a stop in front of Ren Xiao and Chen Zao.
Pulling on the reins, she frowned as she scrutinized the tall figure of Chen Zao.
Ren Bing assumed Chen Zao was a mid-level hunter; otherwise, how could he have such an impressive stature?
Not in the mood to answer Ren Xiao's question about whether she had caught the Deep Sea Beast, Ren Bing first asked Ren Xiao, "Who is this?"
"This is the Chen Zao I mentioned before, the one who sells Fragrant Flour! No, it's Chef Chen!"
Ren Xiao introduced Chen Zao to everyone with great interest.
"Oh, so this is your big guy who doesn’t want to join the army," Ren Bing said dismissively, clearly uninterested in engaging with someone she deemed unworthy.
The male cavalrymen accompanying him initially held some respect for Chen Zao.
However, upon realizing he was the clumsy giant with no real skills, many of them displayed mocking expressions.
Chen Zao felt three dark lines appear on his face as he looked helplessly at Ren Xiao.
This big-breasted girl actually called him a clumsy giant from behind?
Damn it, no one had ever called him that before!
It seemed that this Cute Girl had picked the wrong target.
In the future, he would have to deal with her even more harshly!
Let her call him a clumsy giant!
Chen Zao made a silent vow, but outwardly he showed no signs of confrontation to avoid being beaten up.
In this apocalyptic world, navigating was like traversing a dark forest; when it was time to play dumb, he was determined not to clash with others head-on.
Ren Xiao felt embarrassed by Ren Bing's comments and quickly explained, "Sister Four, don't be ridiculous! Chef Chen is a top-notch chef; his cooking is delicious and on par with those renowned chefs from Tangling!"
Ren Bing's expression became even more disdainful as she shot a sideways glance at Chen Zao, delivering her lofty judgment: "What good is being able to cook well? It doesn't help in battle. With such a big frame, you should be honing your genetic abilities instead of wasting time on those fancy cooking techniques. It's such a waste of your physique."
"Cough cough."
Chen Zao coughed helplessly twice, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant as his inner anger began to simmer.
Suddenly, a short, oddly-shaped man who looked like a black monkey jumped down from the horse team.
Holding a serrated machete, this ugly figure approached Chen Zao with a grin.
He was nearly a head shorter than Chen Zao, and he stretched his neck to sniff at Chen Zao's chest, startling him.
What the hell is this?
No, it’s more like something inappropriate.
Why is he sniffing me?
Chen Zao did not step back; instead, he straightened his back and narrowed his tiger-like eyes to glare at the man, wanting to see what this Blackie was up to.
Ren Xiao angrily pushed the male cavalryman away, standing protectively in front of Chen Zao, scolding him: “What are you doing, Lu Lin? Don’t be rude to Chef Chen!”
“Hey, Seventh Sister, your friend really is just a low-level warrior; he doesn’t even have any body scent. I’m curious how he ended up so big with such low genetic enhancement. His muscle lines look quite strong; could he be just a decorative pillow?”
The male cavalryman named Lu Lin rudely sized up Chen Zao, his tone dripping with sarcastic jealousy over Chen Zao’s impressive physique.
Regarding the issue of height, Ren Xiao had previously questioned Chen Zao about it on the road.
Chen Zao had casually misled Ren Xiao, saying that he used to be very thin and no different from an ordinary refugee.
Later on, because of his picky eating habits and constant research into gourmet food—only eating what was delicious—he ended up with such an impressive physique.
While others used Beast Oil to enhance their physical mutations, he relied on gourmet food to achieve his transformation.
Ren Xiaozhen truly took Chen Zao's nonsense as fact.
At this moment, he proudly answered everyone on behalf of Chen Zao, "Chef Chen is so tall because he eats very nutritious food, all top-quality delicacies. If you had tasted the meals made by Chef Chen, you would understand why he is so robust and tall!"
"Hahaha, to think that just eating can make someone this tall is ridiculous! What kind of food is that? Let me have some too; maybe it will help me grow taller," Lu Lin provocatively asked Chen Zao.
Chen Zao shot a glare at Lu Lin and ignored him.
The other cavalry members let out strange laughs; with their understanding of gourmet food, they certainly couldn't comprehend such oddities in this world.
Ren Bing found this to be utter nonsense.
She had seen many children from prominent families, all of whom enjoyed gourmet food, yet none of them grew taller.
The most typical example was their family's well-known glutton, Ren Tang, who was always lazy and only ate gourmet food.
But even after all this time, Ren Tang had not grown taller; instead, he had turned into a useless ball of fat, bringing shame to the Ren Family.
Now Ren Xiao had become a foodie under Ren Tang's influence, showing an immense enthusiasm for gourmet food, which greatly troubled the Ren Family.
Seeing Ren Xiao's fervent admiration for the chef made Ren Bing angry. She coldly warned her, "Qii, you are too naive. Don't let others' sweet words deceive you; otherwise, you might end up helping them count the money after they sell you off."
