In the dark woods, the little tiger slowly lowered its head and took a step back. The branches of the mutated plants around it waved incessantly in the air, creating a sad atmosphere.
Seeing that the little tiger was sad again, Lin Ruo finally softened. She took two steps forward, picked up the earth-elemental crystal core, walked up to the little tiger, opened her palm, and said, "Is this for me?"
When the little tiger saw her pick up the things, its tail began to wag and it nodded. It had no family left, and it wanted to make her one of its own. This was a gift for her.
Lin Ruo looked at the little tiger and asked seriously, "So you want me to be your master?"
The little tiger's eyes lit up, and it nodded firmly. From the moment it saw her when it was being chased that day, it felt a sense of closeness to her that it had only ever felt with its own family.
Lin Ruo took a few more steps forward, raised her hand and placed it on the little tiger's big head. The little tiger nudged Lin Ruo's hand with its head. "Where are your family? Aren't you going to take revenge? I hate trouble and don't want to take revenge for you."
The little tiger exuded a sense of sadness, then let out a soft "Awoo~" towards Lin Ruo.
Ah Liu stretched out her willow branch to act as a translator for the little tiger. After gesturing to Lin Ruo, Lin Ruo blinked gently. This little tiger didn't even know how its parents died. No wonder those people wanted to capture it and sell it.
She gently touched her chin and carefully examined the tiger cub's eyes. The sadness in its eyes was almost overflowing, but there was no hatred. If a tiger cub a few months old could have such acting skills, that would be truly amazing.
Thinking of how brave its parents were, and how tigers are the king of beasts, perhaps they will be useful in the future.
“Okay, you can stay,” Lin Ruo patted the little tiger’s head, “but you have to be obedient.”
"Awoo!" The little tiger understood. It nodded solemnly and seriously. It had finally found a home again, and they were all its family. Its eyes were filled with unwavering determination. It would never let anyone destroy its home.
Lin Ruo nodded in satisfaction and put the earth-type crystal core into her spatial storage. Although she couldn't quite trust Alu yet, she could only leave it to time.
"From now on, you'll be called A-Lu. Let A-Fu and A-Shou take you around the fortress and help you get familiar with it."
"Aww!"
Alu roared happily to the sky. Although his voice was a little childish, it already had the aura of the king of beasts.
But turning to A-Liu behind her, Lin Ruo said, "A-Liu, A-Lu actually went to those ability users today, waiting to pick up the scraps. What do you think we should do?"
A-Liu's willow branch snapped straight up immediately and then stretched out towards A-Lu. It had clearly told them not to go, and even A-Shou had stayed at home obediently. A-Lu was really asking for trouble!
Before Alu could react, Aliu lifted him by his hind legs and carried him back to the outside of the fortress, where she gave him a loving lesson.
Old Bai kept his branch protecting Alu, afraid that the little tiger cub would fall. Afu and Ashou called out to Lin Ruo and then quickly ran back to watch the commotion.
Lin Ruo walked slowly through the mutated forest, listening to A Lu's screams coming from the direction of the fortress, as well as A Fu and A Shou's excited shouts. She looked up at the night sky, and the corners of her mouth slowly turned up. The future apocalypse was like a fog, and she had gained another companion to walk with her.
...
In the dark underground ore dungeon, three superhumans stood bound hand and foot on stone pillars made of ore. The walls around the dungeon were covered with torture instruments and splattered with blood.
Han Fangli and Chen Minghang looked around with a hint of panic in their eyes. Looking at the gruesome instruments of torture and thinking that they would all be used on them, their psychological defenses were slowly crumbling.
Tong Weiwei was tied to the rightmost stone pillar. She had her head down, and her long hair fell down on both sides to cover her face. Her eyes were filled with hatred.
She hated these people for ruining her good life. She had finally managed to get close to Qi Chengtian, who, although arrogant and stubborn, had a powerful background.
Originally, she only needed to hold on until the Qi family came to City B. At that time, as Qi Chengtian's heir, her good days would begin.
No more running around hunting for superhumans every day, no more hiding because they are cannibals, maybe they can even go back to how they were before the apocalypse, living a life of luxury every day. But all of this vanished the moment Qi Chengtian died!
And now she was a prisoner of these people. She knew what they wanted to ask, and a sinister glint flashed in her eyes.
The B City base is notoriously ruthless towards cannibals. Their fate was sealed the moment they were captured. The only way to survive was to hold onto the secret and refuse to let go. Since these people couldn't get what they wanted, they naturally wouldn't kill her so quickly.
With her special abilities, as long as she isn't killed immediately, she still has a chance to survive!
She turned to look at Han Fangli and Chen Minghang, the two who were the obstacles to her survival. Wisps of poisonous smoke began to appear around her, but Han Fangli and Chen Minghang were completely unaware that death was approaching them step by step.
Just then, several people in white coats walked in. The person in the middle was carrying a medical tray with three vials of medicine on it.
Chen Yu and the wind-type ability user followed the group of people in white coats into the dungeon. The moment he entered the dungeon, he noticed the poisonous smoke around Tong Weiwei.
His gaze darkened as he looked at Tong Weiwei, and he gave a signal to the superhuman beside him. The superhuman moved swiftly, a flash of cyan light appeared in his hand, and a gentle breeze swept by, scattering the poisonous smoke in all directions.
At the same time, Chen Yu raised his hand and struck Tong Weiwei with a bolt of lightning. Tong Weiwei was shocked and her whole body went numb. Her long hair stood on end, and a burnt smell gradually emanated from her body. She trembled uncontrollably.
At this moment, Han Fangli and Chen Minghang realized that Tong Weiwei had just used her supernatural abilities. What was she trying to do? She wanted to kill them!
"What are you doing! You actually want to kill us? You're insane!" Han Fangli yelled at Tong Weiwei, his large, fleshy belly protruding. "You deserve it!"
When the lightning dissipated, Tong Weiwei was completely exhausted, but the look in her eyes as she looked at Chen Yu was terrifying.
Chen Yu sneered. Did she really think he couldn't kill her?
