It was obvious that it had discovered something unusual, or that there was danger ahead.
The group followed without hesitation.
"Little one, where are you taking me?"
The forest that Little Milk Bean walked through was one he rarely came to. He usually patrolled outside, so he didn't really know the specifics of the situation.
"Awoo~" The little tiger cub suddenly turned around and called out to him, as if urging him to hurry up.
[A timed challenge has appeared ahead: The desperate King of the Forest is begging for your help. Please proceed immediately!]
Lin Feng heard the voice from the system in his mind.
Slightly startled, she stopped following the little tiger slowly.
Instead, he grabbed it and rushed forward.
"The King of the Forest? Could it be that Tiger Mom is in danger?"
"Little Milk Bean, let's go over there and see what's going on!"
Tiger didn't understand Lin Feng's meaning, but it still proudly let out a smug snort.
"Awoo~"
(This tiger knew I was the best!)
"Little Bean, don't be too happy if you see your mom get hurt later!"
Lin Feng, carrying the carefree little Bean, with Niu Niu and Pang Hu in the basket behind him, along with the photographer and Bai Lu, hurriedly ran in the direction indicated by the system.
...
Meanwhile, at the Siberian Tiger Animal Base, Professor Zhu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
In Professor Zhu's office.
"How could it be missing? It was fine yesterday, but when we counted it at 7 a.m. this morning, one was missing?" Professor Zhu grabbed his hair tightly, his face full of anxiety and self-blame.
"Did someone forget to close the cage yesterday?" a young researcher asked quietly.
"Impossible! We check it several times every night!" Professor Zhu waved his hand irritably. "Besides, this Siberian tiger is different from the others. It grew up in the wild and its wild nature is hard to find. Ordinary cages simply can't contain it!"
"Could it be that he wants to run away on his own?" another researcher guessed.
"This..." Professor Zhu paused for a moment, then thought about it carefully and realized it was indeed possible.
This Siberian tiger was only recently transferred to this base and hasn't been adapting well to life here. It's always sullen and seems heartbroken. Who knows, it might actually try to run away and find a mother tiger?
Based on previous observations, its behavior does indeed seem very similar, and even the assistant observer said that it is very likely a male tiger with a wife.
If that's the case, then it might be worried about the safety of its wife and children, and has no choice but to search for them desperately.
But it's strange, isn't it? Male tigers usually don't live with female tigers, right?
"Sigh, it's all my fault for bringing it back in the first place." Professor Zhu sighed regretfully as he sat in his office chair. "If it had been living well in the wild, I would have locked it up. Now look what's happened. What are we going to do if something happens to it outside?"
"Don't worry too much, he might come back on his own in a few days!" the young researcher quickly reassured him.
"I hope so..." Professor Zhu had no confidence at all.
This Siberian tiger is solitary and extremely aggressive; if it were to encounter any danger outside, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Professor Zhu tried to comfort himself, but he just couldn't.
"No, I have to go find it right away!" Professor Zhu suddenly stood up, grabbed his coat, and headed outside.
"Professor, where are you going to look? This is all over the mountains..."
"Never mind, I want to see the tiger alive or dead!" Professor Zhu said firmly as he walked out without looking back.
“No, the professor is getting old. How can we let him go up the mountain to search? Hurry up and follow the professor. We can’t let something happen to him too,” said a young assistant who had been taking care of Professor Zhu for many years.
The three researchers immediately followed Professor Zhu out to search.
...
At this moment, Lin Feng followed the little tiger cub to a desolate grassland.
"What kind of place is this?" Lin Feng looked at the barren land in front of him, which was black and looked like a desert, and couldn't help but swear.
The viewers in the live stream were also stunned by what they saw.
Everywhere was desolate, with withered and blackened tree branches.
The charred branches, like skeletons, twisted into all sorts of horrifying shapes on this barren land.
It resembles the image of countless people screaming in the abyss.
It seems that Heaven cannot hear the pleas for help from these creatures.
Even though it's midday, it still sends chills down your spine.
Netizens immediately felt that the atmosphere around them was terrifying.
[Holy crap, where is the streamer? It feels like I've stumbled into a mass grave!]
Is this a horror movie shoot? Waaah, no! I'm a little scared being alone!
[This is outrageous! How can it be such a desolate place? Isn't the scenery where the streamer works supposed to be beautiful?]
Lin Feng suddenly remembered what had happened a few years ago and understood, then explained to everyone.
"Don't be afraid, everyone. It's the middle of the day. Even if something happens, there's nothing to be afraid of. There are so many of us here!"
"This used to be a dense forest, but..." Lin Feng paused, his tone heavy, "but a few years ago, a severe forest fire destroyed the entire forest, and now it looks like this!"
“These charred, withered branches have remained in this state for a long time, and strangely enough, no new plants have grown out of them!”
Lin Feng touched a charred tree branch in front of him, but could not sense any vitality at all.
