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...
Yun Qi quickly showed the medicine that had just been released to Yun Liping, saying, "We just used these medicines, so we don't need them for now."
Seeing that she had medicine, Yun Liping stopped insisting. At that moment, the villagers all came over and started talking at once, expressing their concern.
Liu Fengya, the only doctor in the team, stepped forward to express his concern and wanted to check Yun Qi's back wound to see if the medicine had been applied properly.
Si Cheng immediately grabbed him and pulled him aside, saying, "I've already applied the medicine; there's nothing seriously wrong."
Seeing Liu Fengya being lifted away by Brother Cheng, some people couldn't help but turn their heads and secretly laugh.
It was only then that Liu Fengya realized that his brother-in-law was quite jealous, but as a doctor, he didn't see the difference between men and women, and he really hadn't noticed that.
"Has the tiger been tied up?" Si Cheng had only given a few instructions before leaving because he was worried about Yun Qi's back wound. He was afraid that these people were too careless and that if the tiger wasn't tied up, or if the medicine wore off, it might still hurt people again.
“Tie it up, it can’t hurt anyone.” Wu Yong quickly replied, after all, Brother Cheng had told him this before leaving.
"What about the tiger? Should we just take it back like that?" Some people were still determined to get an answer to this question.
"Are you stupid? Aren't you going to take it back and put it here to feed the ants? That would be a waste of resources."
“People outside are even eating grass roots, and we’re still wasting food like this, it’s shameful.”
Sicheng and Yunqi walked over to the tiger lying on the ground and examined it carefully. They hadn't paid much attention to it before because they were so focused on escaping and fighting.
Judging from its enormous size, it must have lived a comfortable life in the mountains and forests. But thinking about it, it makes sense. The water sources in this area are relatively abundant, and many animals from other places migrate here. As it is at the top of the food chain, of course there is plenty of food.
"This is a Siberian tiger, and it should be an adult male. It looks to weigh over 300 kilograms." Seeing Cheng Ge and the others observing the tiger, Wu Yong hurriedly joined in the explanation. In the past, when he had free time, he would read some books and watch some animal world programs, so he had some knowledge of it.
"Could it be that it escaped from our city's zoo? My dad took me to the zoo before, but back then there were three tigers, not just one," Chen Rongtian dropped a bombshell.
"Is it really that bad? Are you sure you're not mistaken? How could there be so many tigers in a zoo?" Sun Shaofeng asked, looking at his nephew from his third aunt's family.
"I definitely can't remember wrong, because I usually like to watch these animals. Back then, my dad even drove me to the nature reserve to see those wild animals." Although Chen Rongtian is not young, he goes to the zoo more often than he goes to the library each year because of his unique hobby.
"Should we go back first? What if there are other tigers here? That would be terrible." Everyone was still shaken by their desperate escape earlier.
"Let's not move around today. Let's go back to the campsite and rest for a day. Besides, this area is this tiger's territory, so there shouldn't be any predators around here right now." Si Cheng made the decision after seeing everyone's state and looking at the tiger on the ground.
"What should we do with this tiger? Should we put it here, or should we move the campsite here?" Wu Yong looked at the enormous tiger and realized that it would be difficult for his small arms and legs to move it. The main concern was that no one would dare to touch it.
"Let's take it back to the camp. The two places aren't far apart, and there's a natural barrier there, making it more suitable for everyone to camp." Si Cheng preferred the previous camp, at least there everyone could rest more peacefully.
Seeing that Si Cheng had already made a decision, Wu Yong began to call out to all the men around him.
"Come on, brothers! The moment to witness history has arrived. Let's carry this tiger back to camp. Although we failed to kill the tiger, we still carried a live tiger. We can brag about this for a hundred years when we get back."
"Then I'll have to touch the tiger's butt first. Everyone says you can't touch a tiger's butt, but I'll break that myth now." Zhao Dongwei was quite close to the tiger's butt, so he quickly stepped forward and felt it.
"See, it's not that hard, is it?" He proudly boasted after touching it.
"Hey Dongwei, if you're so capable, why don't you touch a live tiger? Aren't you cheating?"
“Isn’t this tiger still alive? If you don’t believe me, have Brother Fengya check it.” Zhao Dongwei didn’t think so; it was still a living tiger.
"Then tell me what it feels like to touch a tiger's butt? Does it feel good?" Hou Yunyang was already thinking about how to draw a comic about touching a tiger's butt, and he believed that everyone would definitely like it.
"I didn't feel anything, except that its fur was a bit prickly, unlike the soft and fluffy fur coats my mother bought."
"You think fur is just something you peel off an animal? It goes through a lot of processing and steps. Alright, if you're free, hurry up and carry it back. Let's get some rest today." Seeing that everyone was still chatting idly, Wu Yong started to urge them to help.
Si Cheng and Yun Qi watched as they formed a circle around the tiger and carried the campsite away, while the other female villagers carried their luggage behind them.
Si Cheng saw Liu Fengya carrying his medicine box and preparing to follow everyone back, so he grabbed him.
"Here you go." Si Cheng simply tossed the medicine packet he had given him back to him.
"Brother, why didn't you use this? Nothing is more important than life. If you had sprinkled the powder back then, Yunqi might not have been injured." Liu Fengya knew what was inside the medicine packet just by looking at it. He had been wondering what he had forgotten, and it turned out he had forgotten about this medicine packet.
"Next time, I'll have you sprinkle it. You're scattering the powder without any protection yourself. Do you think the tiger will take effect faster after being poisoned, or will my medicine take effect faster?" Si Cheng slapped his head in annoyance.
Liu Fengya really hadn't thought of this. "Then what should we do? Does this mean that from now on, we can only test the medicine at close range when we sprinkle the powder?"
"If you have a gas mask, you can use it to spread pesticides. Otherwise, it's best not to use it in the wild, lest you end up feeding the enemy."
Yunqi Space also had some gas masks, but she wouldn't give them to Liu Fengya so easily. Fortunately, Brother Cheng had thought of this beforehand; if he had simply scattered the medicine as he suggested, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Anyway, she holds grudges very much, so when we get back, she'll definitely tell her cousin all about him.
