Sicheng and his family were completely unaware of everything that was happening in the village, and they were now standing around the tiger, at a loss for what to do.

"The effects of this drug wore off too quickly; he woke up in such a short time." Based on the time Wu Yong had given him when he took the drug, plus the time he had woken up, it had only been less than two hours.

"Don't compare this king of beasts to your little white rabbits, they're not even in the same league." Seeing everyone move back slightly, Zhao Dongwei quickly followed suit and took a few steps back as well.

"Do you think it might break free of the ropes we've tied it with?"

"Probably not. Although it's awake, it doesn't seem to be struggling very much, and its wounds are still bleeding, so it must be having some impact, right?" The person who said this was clearly not very confident.

"Fengya, why don't you give it some more medicine to keep it unconscious? Otherwise, it's really creepy."

This was also Liu Fengya's first time facing a live tiger. He mustered up his courage and took a few steps forward. After checking it over, he said, "We probably don't need to add any more anesthesia. Let's see how it goes first. If it struggles a bit more, I'll give it some more."

"Fengya, we'd better be safe. We can't treat a tiger like a sick cat. If it suddenly becomes aggressive, we won't be able to handle it." Some people unconsciously gripped their machetes tighter, thinking that if the tiger broke free, they would need a weapon to defend themselves.

Although everyone was afraid of a live tiger, no one thought of ending its life. It wasn't that they were afraid, but that they couldn't get past their mental barrier.

Si Cheng and Yun Qi sat far away on the side, letting them argue and discuss it among themselves, without joining in.

The tiger struggled on the ground for a while, then gradually stopped moving. Wu Yong and Liu Fengya went over to check on it and found that the tiger was completely dead.

"Brother Yong, how are you? Are you still alive?" Although he was a little afraid of tigers, seeing it so motionless made his heart jump.

"It's dead." Thinking back, before the disaster, this was a protected animal. To see it, you had to pay an entrance fee. Now, it's been defeated here because of a conflict with humans.

Hearing that the tiger was completely dead, everyone breathed a sigh of relief with mixed feelings. If the tiger had been alive, they would have been afraid and wouldn't have known what to do with it.

Si Cheng had stayed in the camp because he was afraid the tiger might have some lingering strength and break free of its ropes to injure people again. Now that he no longer had that concern, he wanted to walk around and observe the terrain.

Si Cheng stood up from the ground and pulled Yun Qi, who was standing next to him, to his feet as well.

"Wu Yong, you all stay here and guard the area. I'm going to take a look around the surrounding terrain."

"Brother Cheng, let's go with you. That way, we can take care of each other." Hearing that Brother Cheng was leaving the camp again, Wu Yong and the others wanted to go with him so that they could look after each other if anything happened.

Si Cheng directly refused them, "No need. It's not very early yet, and we're just taking a walk around the neighborhood. We won't go far. Besides, this is tiger territory, and no other wild beasts dare to live here."

After saying this, he took Yunqi's hand and left.

"Is Brother Cheng thinking we're holding us back?" Some people guessed the truth as they watched Brother Cheng and his wife leave without even turning their heads.

"What are you thinking? Brother Cheng just thinks we third wheels are getting in the way."

"If you know, don't say it out loud." Wu Yong knew that Brother Cheng was disgusted by them being third wheels.

"Since the tiger is no longer alive, let's carry it to the middle of our camp, instead of leaving it here." We had previously placed the tiger outside the camp for fear it would break free.

"Let's go ahead and take a look. There should be a water source nearby." Since his strength increased, Si Cheng's senses have become more sensitive than others. When he was treating Yun Qi's wounds, he vaguely felt that the air was more humid.

Yunqi naturally agreed, and she followed Sicheng in the direction he had indicated.

"It should be just ahead." After passing the place where the medicine had been applied, Si Cheng felt that the humidity in the air was even heavier.

"Brother Cheng, do you see any green space ahead?" Yunqi thought there was something wrong with his eyes. How could there be such a large green space now?

"You're not mistaken, it's a huge green area." Si Cheng was also surprised. After all, since the sun stopped shining, all the plants had turned pale green or yellow, and he had never seen such a deep green color before.

"Be careful here." Si Cheng found two sturdy tree branches by the roadside, cleared away the branches around them with a machete, kept a stick for himself, and handed one of them to Yun Qi.

Yunqi took the wooden stick and also drew the machete from his waist. A place like this must be a haven for poisonous snakes.

"Could this be a swamp? We can't see any water, only green plants. Wait a minute, we need to watch our step, or we might sink in." The two of them had suffered from this before, and luckily they had a companion to save them.

"Be careful." The two of them simultaneously became more vigilant as they approached the green area.

Standing here and looking around, you can see a very obvious contrast: this area is about 40 to 50 acres of green space, while the surrounding area is full of withered weeds and broken trees.

Yunqi used the stick in her hand to probe the roots of the green plant, but strangely, she encountered hard ground. Undeterred, she poked at the roots a few more times.

"Isn't this supposed to be a swamp? Why is the ground so hard?" She crouched down and used her machete to pry aside the greenery, revealing damp earth.

Seeing this, Si Cheng also took the wooden stick in his hand and began to probe the surroundings.

"It's really strange, why is the soil here more moist than in other places?" Yun Qi really didn't understand. It was clearly the same land, but the place with green plants was like a dividing line, separating it from the dry land next to it.

The two men wanted to find out the cause. One of them followed the greenery they had dug up and dug towards the middle, trying to find a water source. However, after looking forward for more than ten meters, they still found the same wet land, but there were quite a few earthworms and insects underground.

Yunqi felt her back was getting tired after bending over and digging for so long, so she simply squatted down and picked up the green plants next to her to study them.

"Brother Cheng, have you ever seen this plant before? I feel like I've never seen it before. Although its leaves are quite thick, it doesn't look like those succulents." After saying that, he tore off a leaf, put it to his nose and smelled it. "This leaf does have a light fragrance, which smells quite pleasant."

"How can you still be so reckless?" Si Cheng saw her carelessly putting the leaf under her nose to smell it and quickly knocked the leaf out of her hand.
