The apocalypse arrived, but there were no zombies. Only unpredictable extreme weather and daily squabbles forced humans to survive on instinct alone to avoid being eliminated.
Yun Qi struggle...
After Yunqi found the vaccine and gave himself an injection, the two began to clean up the things and trash they had taken out of the ground.
She put on the tattered clothes she had left aside earlier, because she hadn't brought a bag with her. The Yunnan Baiyao was already in Si Cheng's bag, but adding clothes on top of that would have looked ridiculous.
Besides, these clothes can be patched up and worn again; the quality of the fabric is what it is, and it's hard to throw them away. Many people in the village wear patched clothes these days, and even with patches, they don't stand out much.
"Let's go, let's hurry back. We don't know how the team is doing now." After checking their surroundings and finding nothing missing, the two walked back to the camp together.
"They should have tied up that tiger by now, right? I wonder if the drug's effects on the tiger will last a long or short time?" Yun Qi thought to himself, remembering that he had used a diluted drug on the tiger earlier. He hoped it wouldn't wake up so quickly.
“It won’t be that fast. The village has done experiments before. Rabbits only need a little bit of the medicine to stay asleep for a whole day. You not only poured it into Lun’s wound, but also poured some into its nose. Even if it wants to wake up, it won’t be that quick.” Although he said that, Si Cheng still couldn’t help but pull Yun Qi’s hand and quicken his pace.
Looking at the hypocritical man in front of him, Yun Qi secretly laughed behind his back. Si Cheng is really starting to resemble a village chief more and more.
When they left, Wu Yong went to the camp and called his teammates over. Seeing that everyone was afraid to approach and stood there watching from a distance, Wu Yong felt that he had been very brave before.
"Don't just stand there like an idiot! Quickly find all the ropes. This tiger isn't dead yet; it's just been drugged. If we don't tie it up soon, we won't be enough to deliver the food when it wakes up."
Many people couldn't help but take a step back when they heard that the tiger was still alive, but Liu Fengya mustered up the courage to step forward and check.
"Where are my brother and the others?" When Liu Yong came back to inform everyone, Liu Fengya thought that Si Cheng and the others were guarding the tiger here, but when he saw that there was only one tiger lying on the ground, he did not find any trace of the two people.
"My sister-in-law was scratched a few times on her back by a tiger. Now Brother Cheng is taking her to get her wounds treated," Wu Yong quickly explained when he saw all the villagers looking at him.
"How serious is the injury? Why didn't you take him back so I could treat him?" Upon hearing that Yun Qi was injured, Liu Fengya immediately stood up and asked, forgetting all about examining the tiger on the ground.
"It shouldn't be too serious, right? There doesn't look like she's bleeding much." Wu Yong wasn't entirely sure either, since he hadn't really been looking closely at Yun Qi's wound; he had only seen her get scratched a few times when the tiger pounced on her because she hadn't dodged in time.
"Which direction did they go? I'll go check." Liu Fengya quickly picked up the medicine box next to him, wanting to go find Brother Cheng and the others.
“I only know they went in that direction, but I don’t know exactly where they went. But I think you shouldn’t wander off for now, or we’ll have to come looking for you again,” Wu Yong told him, pointing in the direction Si Cheng and the others had gone.
"Let me go with you to look for him." Yun Liping had been worried ever since she heard that Yun Qi was injured, and she wanted to go with him to see if she could help in any way.
"I'm telling you two, stop making things worse. Since Brother Cheng said they're going to treat their wounds, they must have their own methods." Wu Yong was determined to stop them this time and prevent them from causing any more trouble. He knew that if he had stopped Yun Qi earlier, Brother Cheng might have been able to defeat the tiger much faster.
"Let's tie the tiger up quickly. I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I feel like its hind leg moved a little just now," Zhao Dongwei reminded everyone, pointing to the tiger's hind leg.
Although the others didn't see it, they didn't dare to gamble on the possibility. Several of them quickly mustered their courage, grabbed the rope, and hurriedly tied the tiger up tightly.
Some of the more observant ones were afraid that the tiger would wake up and use its fangs to hurt them, even wrapping its mouth around several times.
"Fengya, how long does this anesthetic last?" Wu Yong asked Liu Fengya, holding a half-used bottle of medicine.
"We really can't guarantee that, because we used wild rabbits for experiments before. Just one drop of wild rabbit can keep you asleep for a whole day. But now we're testing on tigers that weigh several hundred kilograms, so we really can't be sure."
Liu Fengya's main purpose in going up the mountain was to test the medicine's effects, but he never expected that the first test subject would be the King of Beasts. Now he didn't know whether to say they were unlucky or the King of Beasts was unlucky to have run into them.
"Are we planning to take this live tiger back to the village?" someone mustered up the courage to ask Wu Yong and the others.
"We'll have to wait for Cheng and the others to come back before we can decide. But what would we do with this live tiger? Even if we wanted to keep it, we wouldn't dare."
“Even if you wanted to keep it, you definitely couldn’t. This tiger is too badly injured. Even with the old conditions, a veterinarian might not have been able to save it.” Liu Fengya stepped forward and felt the tiger’s heartbeat. He found that its heartbeat was a little slow, and the wound near its eyes was still bleeding.
Now that the tiger has been tied up, everyone has started to have some free time to gossip. They began to surround Wu Yong and keep asking him about the exciting scenes from that time.
"Brother Yong, tell us about what happened back then."
"Yeah, I never imagined that our Brother Cheng is so powerful now, he can even take down a tiger."
"Tell us quickly! By the way, Sister Yunqi is injured. What about Brother Cheng? Is he alright?"
Seeing everyone talking at once, Wu Yong didn't know where to begin.
Just as everyone was gathered around Wu Yong, Liu Liping, who had been looking in the direction Wu Yong had been pointing, suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Xiao Qi and the others are back." After saying this, he ran towards Yun Qi and the others.
Yunqi saw Yu Liping running towards her from afar and quickly raised her hand to wave.
"Xiao Qi, how badly are you hurt? Where are you hurt? Have you taken care of your wounds?" As soon as Yun Liping saw Yun Qi, she bombarded him with questions.
Seeing that someone cared about him so much, Yunqi was also very touched. "I'm fine now. The wounds have been treated. I was just scratched by the tiger a few times and the skin was broken. It's not serious."
Si Cheng glanced at her but didn't say anything more. Since Yun Qi had said that, she must have her own plans. Besides, the wounds had indeed been treated.
"Do you need any other medicine? I brought some hemostatic drugs with me this time. If you need them, I can get them for you." Yun Liping asked, still a little worried.
