The tiger's eyes widened suddenly, and the old axe immediately perked up, almost wanting to roar. It wasn't upset at all; it was overjoyed! It praised with beaming eyes, "Baby, you can speak animal language now? My baby is simply amazing! The best in the world!"
Si Hu, who was being chased like a dog by Long Zhiyan, overheard a bit of the conversation and couldn't help but feel heartbroken. When it learned to talk, the first word it called was "uncle," but where was the uncle? Apart from giving a perfunctory nod and saying "not bad" lightly, he didn't even hug it once.
But after the heartache comes a deep sense of envy. Why is it that, despite both being tigers, Uncle has a little human companion who can communicate, laugh, and act cute and affectionate, while it can only be chased and flee in a sorry state by an ugly creature that can jump and fly?
The world has been so unfair to it!
Big Axe wasn't in a hurry to bring Cheng Shuang into the base. The base was full of surveillance equipment, making conversation inconvenient. Out of the corner of its eye, it saw Ling Hu leading his team after Si Hu, and only a familiar fox on the wooden house gave it a barely perceptible nod.
He lowered his voice to a whisper and said to Cheng Shuang, "Baby, I'm fine. The medicine has nothing to do with you! You don't know, understand? Baby, Daddy won't hurt you. If anyone asks you, you have to say you don't know!"
Cheng Shuang was taken aback. She frowned slightly and asked bluntly, "Axe Daddy, is there a traitor inside the base?"
Old Axe didn't want the complicated and cruel situation to affect its baby's mood, but it was old and its injuries hadn't healed for a long time, and Si Hu was not a force to be reckoned with. If there was no leader tiger, the South Canyon hidden under the Southern Alliance would fall apart sooner or later.
Although it's not obvious now, that's because it's still alive. Whether it's the dog tribe, the panda tribe, or the snake tribe and kangaroo tribe that are covering for them, they all owe Pinkball a debt of gratitude, which is why they've preserved a glimmer of hope for their tribes. Pinkball spread out in its name.
Big Axe wasn't after fame or fortune; he simply didn't want to expose Cheng Shuang's existence.
When animals fight for power and profit, they only become more and more cruel.
Its babies are different from human pets in every way, but they could never withstand fighting against the whole world.
As far as it knows, cold-blooded animals still possess the methods for creating genetic viruses, which is why they are in a favorable position in the current situation, even surpassing the largest number of omnivores.
The Pink Pill is definitely the breakthrough point for the gene virus. If the threat of the gene virus is lost, the landscape will change drastically again. At the very least, the omnivores cannot continue to tolerate being repeatedly driven back by the cold-blooded animals, and the beastmen will go crazy in order to regain their strength.
If any animals find out that the powder pills came from Cheng Shuang, she will be in immeasurable danger.
This is definitely not what Big Axe wanted.
Call it selfish or cruel, but since its birth, the world has not treated it kindly. All its joy and longing for life are revived because of its baby. So why should its baby suffer troubles and struggles that do not belong to it?
When Ling Hu led the team back, its eyes flickered, and its heart sank slightly. It noticed that the leader's temples seemed to have a few more white hairs, but he was full of energy, as if he had no regrets at all.
It is walking upright with a smile on its face, just so that it can hold the little person in its arms.
It is important to know that since the leader was seriously injured, it has maintained an animal walking posture for decades. This has led many animals that joined later to mistakenly believe that the leader dislikes imitating human behavior, so they also restrain themselves, give up releasing their forelimbs, and use the primitive form to move and work except for running.
This misunderstanding resulted in the orcs who wanted to join the Southern Alliance being placed on the outskirts, with none of them able to penetrate deep into the canyon base.
Big Axe built South Canyon, believing he had done everything he could. He felt he had lived up to the kindness of Tiger's father and the friendship of Fox, Snake, and Kangaroo.
The South Canyon is almost equivalent to the former South Community. Along the way, it has also taken in and protected many surviving tribes, which is a great honor.
Therefore, it delegated power and did not interfere with how the animals and beastmen who subsequently surrendered would be arranged. It only gave the Tiger Clan its first order before the quantum computer completely stopped operating: to bring back the front-end equipment of the quantum computer to ensure that the signal could be transmitted smoothly.
Of course, it was this command that made Big Axe realize that the animals in the South Canyon still regarded him as their leader and did not question his commands. That's why they were able to work together to build a small but complete signal band at the fastest speed.
It was naturally deeply moved, but that was all it felt, because it knew that they were thanking it for saving their lives. In other words, they should be thanking its baby, Cheng Shuang, not it.
The old axe was both proud and worried. It hoped its baby would come back to see it, but it was also afraid that if she came back, she wouldn't be able to find it and would put itself in a dangerous situation.
It really can't imagine what would happen if the baby got into trouble because of its carelessness...
This is why it was so eager to build a signal band to restore the operation of the optical computer, and why it sent an elite team instead of going there itself.
It desperately wanted to bring her back in person and see her safe and sound, but alas, it could only be a burden on her journey.
Cheng Shuang asked Old Axe in detail about what happened a hundred years ago, including how many animals the ten powder pills saved.
Old Axe naturally answered every question without hesitation or concealment.
When the gene virus spread and mutated, even Big Axe was not spared.
It swallowed a pill with a nostalgic attitude, intending to find a quiet place to await death. However, it recovered in an instant and roamed freely in the virus-filled air.
Later, it remembered Si Hu's father and thought that they had eaten a few of its leftovers. So it went to the community where the tigers lived. At the request of the elders who were dying from the virus, it used two powder pills, dissolved in water, and gave each person a cup to save a hundred teenage tigers.
Liehu ignored all the tigers who unanimously wanted him to die when he was young.
As for why there are still seven pills left, it's not because Liehu had the idea of rescuing other races—he wasn't that noble—but simply because he couldn't bear to part with them.
This is a gift left to it by its baby so that it can rely on itself.
But when too many familiar faces fell before it, the old axe's heart of stone finally trembled.
Its baby loves the fox's fluffy tail—save it.
Its baby loves the kangaroo's warm pouch—a lifesaver.
Its baby loves the panda's soft, fluffy belly—help!
Its baby loves all the movies and variety shows that dogs star in—Save.
Its baby's friends like Snake and its brother—Save.
Unintentionally, Big Axe became a legendary hero, bearing a burden he shouldn't have had to carry.
The reason was both ridiculous and absurd, but the ending was good.
Big Axe believes this is a blessing from its baby.
So, being able to reunite with his baby one last time before he succumbed to his injuries and died, Old Axe felt that he was content and had no regrets.
