"Fight first? What's the situation between this tiger and the wolf pack?" The eagle felt that he didn't quite understand the situation.
"Among the people guarded by the level 4 mutant tiger behind the Taoist temple, in addition to some young and middle-aged men, there are also many old people, women, and children." Nan Muran said lightly.
After she said this, Si Ye, Lao Ying and Jia Wu understood instantly.
According to what the man said, there should be no old people, women or children on the tiger's side.
So it was obvious that the tiger used some tricks to snatch away the people from the mechanical and electrical factory who were driven back to its own den by the wolves.
The wolves, who had lost their food for the winter, naturally came to the door with the purpose of snatching food from the tiger. I couldn't help but feel that humans, who were at the top of the food chain before the end of the world, had also become food for these beasts in the end of the world.
Because of this news, Lao Ying felt even more uneasy. His sister-in-law and nephew were already gone, and nothing could happen to his parents and eldest brother.
"I want to keep an eye on their situation at all times." Old Eagle subconsciously looked at Nan Muran.
"Let's find a position where we can observe the situation inside." Nan Muran said directly.
If the tiger and the wolf pack really want to go to war, the five of them going over directly will only make the situation more complicated. It would be better for them to wait and see what happens before making a decision.
"Over there, that's a good spot." Jiawu looked around and pointed to a small bulging platform on the cliff not far ahead.
The platform was located about ten meters high on the cliff. There was a big tree next to it, which just covered their figures. Because the Taoist temple was not very high, the platform was just enough to see the whole temple clearly.
"Let's go, let's go there." Si Ye took a look at the location.
With the help of Xiao Liu and Xiao Bai, the five people climbed up to the small platform along the cliff of the mountain.
The small platform was not very big, less than five square meters in size, and next to it was a dangerous steep slope, just enough for the five of them to lie down side by side.
In order to avoid falling accidentally, Nan Muran directly released the tree man and signaled it to surround the entire small platform.
The tree man simply extended his body, and countless dry vines stretched out from the mountain, building a fifty-centimeter fence on the steep and dangerous positions on both sides.
"Well done." Nan Muran praised without hesitation.
The tree man was in a very good mood because of the praise.
Tree Man: Ranran, there are many mutated trees in this mountain behind us. The crooked tree next to us has also mutated.
Crooked Tree: You are...
Just as he was about to turn back, he stopped abruptly because he felt the tree man's strong power. This was a being he could not defeat, so he could only give in.
Nan Muran also noticed this and turned to tell Si Ye.
"Maybe it's not just plants, but animals as well." Si Ye looked at the tigers and wolves at the foot of the mountain with a telescope.
The swarm of rats they encountered when they first entered Lingshan also seemed to appear from the direction of the back mountain. It seems that this back mountain has many secrets.
Lao Ying and Jia Wu quickly set up a protective net, and then took out a telescope to look at the crowd behind the Taoist temple. There were about thirty people, and everyone huddled together spontaneously because they felt fear.
Eagle recognized several of them at a glance, including his father's good friends and his eldest brother's childhood playmates.
The telescope scanned everyone, and in the corner at the back of the crowd, he saw his parents and eldest brother. His eldest brother and father were fine, but Fu's mother was obviously pale, leaning weakly on his father's shoulder, and seemed to be in pain.
"Did you see it?" Jiawu looked at the eagle, his tone revealing a rare bit of worry. He was really too familiar with this feeling.
"I see, they are all here." Old Eagle breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just that my mother seems to be feeling a little uncomfortable."
"Point out your family to me, I'll let Xiao Liu go first." After hearing this, Nan Muran turned around and signaled to Lao Ying.
Old Eagle was visibly stunned when he heard her words: "Let Xiao Liu go."
"Have you forgotten how I saved you that time in the University Town Commercial Street?" Nan Muran said with a smile.
That time, Nan Muran left Xiaobai to Si Ye, so that they were protected in the critical moment. So letting Xiaoliu go was like putting on a strong protective shield for Laoying's family.
"Sister Nan, thank you." Old Eagle was so excited.
Si Ye reached out and patted his shoulder: "First find something that your parents and eldest brother can recognize as a keepsake, so as not to scare them and make them easily discovered."
The fourth-level mutant beasts have become intelligent, and can even be said to be very smart. If they discover anything abnormal, it will be very troublesome.
Eagle thought about it and took the key off his neck. The red rope tied to the key was made by his mother herself, so they would definitely be able to recognize it.
Xiao Liu jumped out from Nan Muran's wrist, shrank his body, and then took the house key from Old Eagle's neck and headed to the back of the Taoist temple.
In the house behind the Taoist temple, all the living people looked at the tiger dozing not far away, feeling only fear and numbness.
The tiger in front of them and the wolf pack in the back mountain have eaten three adults and one child since they caught them. Even now, there are still a few fresh skeletons in front of the tiger.
Originally they didn't understand why the tiger trapped them here, but now they understood that the tiger was using them as food for the winter.
This means that they will not be killed instantly, but will be eaten one after another. Thinking of the last human being eaten alive by a tiger, everyone felt like they were falling into an ice cave, and their whole bodies were numb.
"Dad, we can't just wait to die on the road. We have to find a chance to escape." Fu Chao lowered his voice and spoke to his father beside him.
"Yeah, Uncle Fu, we can't just sit here and wait for the tiger to eat us." A man about the same age as Old Eagle said in a low voice.
They were all at the back of the crowd, leaning against the corner of the back wall, speaking in low voices so as not to disturb the dozing tiger on the other side.
Old Eagle's father sighed and reached out to hold his weak wife beside him: "Your mother and I can no longer run. Going together will only drag you two down. When you have a chance, you can go by yourselves."
"Dad, what are you talking about?" Fu Chao's eyes were red.
"Uncle Fu, don't say discouraging words. If anything happens to you, that Eagle will come back and kill me." The young man saw that they were in a gloomy mood and said in a deliberately joking manner.
“Yeah, our second oldest.
I don’t know how the second child is doing now, whether he is alive or dead. If..., our family will be broken up.” The mother of the old eagle couldn’t help crying.
Eagle looked through the telescope at his parents and brother who had obviously aged and lost a lot of weight, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Suddenly, Laoying's father patted his son beside him with his right hand stiffly, and was so excited that he couldn't speak. Finally, he pointed to a red rope key that was sneaking towards him from the corner not far behind his eldest son Fu Chao.
