Upon seeing Lin Qian, Yongqi immediately ran over.
"Aww!" Brother, there's no grass left! Not in the snow! It's all gone!
The little tiger roared with joy after completing its mission for the first time. It didn't think about what the absence of plants represented; it was only excited about accomplishing something "important."
Courage's intelligence is now like that of a child. It is the first time it has been given a task to do and has completed it on its own. This novel and rewarding experience naturally excites it.
After Yongqi's enthusiastic explanation, the three big cats finally understood and showed their regret.
Although the herd was afraid of the tigers, they still tried their best to turn over the snow near the rocks. Large areas of the canyon had already been disturbed by the herd, and now only some plants could be found under the rocks.
The open space in this canyon is not large to begin with, and most of the area is occupied by piles of stones of varying sizes, so there is naturally not much land for plants to grow.
The herd had been wandering aimlessly during their migration, often going hungry. Now, in the canyon, where they didn't have to rush and had food, they naturally ate voraciously to replenish the fat they had lost along the way.
This caused consumption to skyrocket, and it was only a matter of time before the company went bankrupt.
Lin Qian looked at the turned-up snow, ran back and shouted urgently, urging everyone to start again.
The tiger parents were initially hesitant to rest for a while longer, since the herd still had dozens of large prey. With plenty of food and water, the big cats, driven by their wild instincts, wouldn't waste their energy.
Seeing their hesitation, Lin Qian anxiously tried to explain.
Lin Qian was so anxious not only because the herbivores had no food source. These animals could survive for seven or eight days without food, and a family of tigers could eat a lot in seven or eight days if they ate their fill. The rest could be frozen in the snow and last for another half a month without any problem.
But in the past two days, he carefully recalled his experiences over the past six months, from the first spiritual energy tide to now, and Lin Qian thought of many things.
The impact of the spiritual energy revival is enormous, with benefits such as the emergence of supernatural abilities. However, the downsides cannot be ignored. Biological mutations don't seem to be a big deal yet, since the family is quite powerful, and as long as they don't scatter, no mutated animal can harm them.
But climate change is different!
Natural disasters are their biggest threat right now! Just like the sudden drop in temperature and the increasingly frequent blizzards.
If you're not careful, the whole family of tigers could die in this snowstorm!
Experiencing the spiritual revival firsthand was completely different from what he had seen in movies and novels. He had a feeling that this increasingly cold winter was just the beginning...
In the end, Tiger Dad and the others decided to follow Lin Qian's advice and start over. The tigers had gradually come to realize Lin Qian's intelligence and uniqueness, so the big cats trusted Lin Qian's words more.
Well, the main problem is that this kid has too many ideas, and they feel they can't control him.
Under the watchful eyes of the tiger family, the herd once again formed a long line. The herd now numbered no more than forty, and even knowing that they would eventually be devoured by tigers, the animals still had no intention of escaping.
In this world of ice and snow, traveling alone will only hasten your demise.
Because of the dramatic change in spiritual energy, the mountains and rivers and landforms changed drastically, and all kinds of animals also became different, turning the world upside down.
After more than a month, humans have gradually adapted to the changed world and quickly stopped the migration.
However, the scientific research they had done before became useless during this period, because all the information and data they had obtained before the great changes had become irrelevant afterward. In the face of reality, data and theory were nothing but waste paper.
The world is now teeming with mutated beasts, and humans themselves are also mutating. There are also massive natural disasters, and humanity is barely able to take care of itself.
People in cities can still rely on the resources available before the disaster to sustain their lives, but people in remote areas cannot. They have no choice but to risk traveling and go to the nearest city in groups. Even if they are not seeking rescue, at least they can find supplies in the city.
This led to humanity continuing to work towards a common goal despite communication disruptions. The minority gathered into the majority, and humanity eventually rebuilt civilization on the ruins of cities.
However, the journey is fraught with difficulties and dangers, and it remains to be seen how many will ultimately reach their intended destination.
In major earthquakes, more than half of the human population perishes. After a few are rescued, the remaining population must struggle to survive in the face of severe snowstorms. In the end, no one knows how many people will be left, or how many will be able to adapt to the changes in the world and continue to live.
After walking for three days, Lin Qian stared blankly at the snow pit before him. In the white snow lay the remains of several humans who had frozen to death.
Lin Qian had thought about encountering humans, but he hadn't expected it to happen so soon, nor had he ever imagined it would be like this.
Courage curiously leaned over and sniffed, even reaching out its paw to paw at the snowdrift.
"Aww!" Lin Qian immediately pushed aside his courage and drove his younger brother away. He didn't want to see anything terrible happen.
Even if he's no longer human, he absolutely cannot accept such a scene. At least for now, they have food, so it's not that bad...
Courage was a little angry. It didn't understand why its brother was suddenly so fierce. It hadn't done anything wrong!
Just as the tiger cub was about to go over to the snowdrift to investigate, the mother tiger growled and stopped him.
"Roar." Kid, this creature is dangerous.
The tiger mother wasn't brave; although she was born and raised in the wild, she knew what humans were.
As a third-generation wild Siberian tiger, the mother tiger had experienced being tranquilized by a human tranquilizer gun more than once when she was young. The feeling of suddenly fainting and then inexplicably falling asleep was truly awful.
