Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 300 Little Tiger Cub

After hearing the news brought by Zhu Zhu, Zeng Tong abruptly turned to look at Captain Yao, her eyes wide with fury. Although her voice still carried a hint of immaturity, it was full of imposing force.
"Captain Yao, did your men go to the wildlife park yesterday?"

After the apocalypse, almost all the zookeepers and staff there were wiped out. The lion king, like the white tiger, was born in the zoo, so he didn't have much longing for the vast, free world outside. He then established himself as king of the area and continued to live in the wildlife park with the animals he left behind.

For them, this is their home.

Inspired by Pengcheng, Zeng Xi issued an order in Kyoto that no one was allowed to enter the wildlife park outside Kyoto without a valid reason, and that no one was allowed to provoke the lions or other wild animals inside.

Of course, under normal circumstances, no one would be so bored as to provoke a lion.

But unexpectedly, someone deliberately broke the rules and became this kind of eccentric.

Upon hearing Zeng Tong's almost accusatory question, Captain Yao glanced at her with displeasure, "What do you mean?"

How dare a greenhorn like her try to meddle in his business?
But Zeng Tong's next words shocked him.

“My dad has already sent someone to find the tiger cub you stole from the zoo, and it’s being brought here now.”

"you"

Captain Yao's face turned deathly pale instantly. He could no longer care about Jiang Qi and the doorway, and turned to leave in a hurry.

Watching his departing figure, Zeng Tong sneered, "Fool!"

Sometimes she really doesn't understand why there are always people who are stupid and unaware of their own ignorance, daring to challenge the rules and authority.

Turning her gaze back, Zeng Tong asked Zhu Zhu, "Did you bring the little tiger?"

It's unknown how many lions and tigers were originally in the wildlife park, but after the apocalypse, an investigation revealed only one Lion King and two tigers.

No need to guess, this tiger cub is the offspring of those two tigers.

"They should be here soon. I came ahead of time to let you know."

Although the basement where the tiger cubs were hidden was well-preserved, Zeng Xi had one of his men with an extremely sensitive nose, who had likely awakened an olfactory ability. However, to date, he was the only one with this superpowered ability.

Therefore, Zeng Xi did not publicize it, and not many people knew about it.

After Zhu Zhu relayed Zeng Tong's message, Zeng Xi did not question Jiang Qi at all and immediately dispatched the olfactory ability user and another auditory ability user, along with two strength-based users, to quietly investigate.

The tiger cub seemed to have been given medicine, as it only made weak whimpering sounds with its eyes closed. Even the hearing ability user could hardly hear it through the heavy iron door. It was the olfactory ability user who smelled the unusual odor of urine in the air and was able to find the basement and take out the tiger cub.

The moment they found the tiger cub, Zeng Xi sent a whole squad to escort it towards the west gate.

Of course, he came himself too.

Zeng Tong looked down at Jiang Qi, who was standing face to face with the animals, and admired the fifty-meter radius around him where not a single drop of rain fell.

Jiang Qi could control rain, a fact she had known for a long time and had tried to practice, but to no avail. Rain was like a different entity to her, distinct from her water system, and she simply couldn't control it.

Although she knew that Song Xiaoxiao couldn't either, she was still somewhat discouraged, but persevered and continued to practice.

Zeng Tong didn't jump off the city wall because she saw her father leading a group of people. The man surnamed Yao followed behind with a pale face. If you looked closely, you could see that one of his legs was a little unnatural.

"dad."

Zeng Tong stepped forward first, and his eyes immediately fell on the small blanket being held in the arms of an uncle behind his father.

She took two steps forward, lifted a corner of the blanket, and sure enough, saw a fluffy little tiger curled up in her uncle's arms with its eyes closed.

She couldn't resist reaching out and stroking the little tiger's head. Wow, it's so soft and smooth!
Zeng Tong's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at the little tiger cub with an unconscious longing.

"Cough cough."

Upon seeing his daughter's expression, Zeng Xi quickly covered his mouth and coughed twice. Then he pulled her close and whispered, "Wipe your drool. Where's Jiang Qi?"

Zeng Tong stroked her chin, turned her head and pointed to the door, complaining to her father, "Captain Yao just shot at the Lion King with a sniper rifle, but Jiang Qi stopped him. He's outside now, and the animals listen to him. None of them are running towards the gate anymore."

That's a bit of an exaggeration.

Before her father and the people he brought could react in surprise, she reached out to the uncle holding the tiger cub and said, "Give it to me, I'll give it to Jiang Qi so he can return the tiger cub to the Lion King."

"Return it to the Lion King?"

Zeng Xi frowned. "Those two big tigers didn't come?"

"No, I didn't see it at all."

As soon as Zeng Tong finished speaking, Zeng Xi turned to look at Captain Yao, who was following behind their team, his gaze sharp as a knife.

"Tell me, what did you do to those two adult tigers before you stole the tiger cubs?"

That's right. If they hadn't taken down the big tiger, how could they have stolen the tiger cubs?

"Yao Daqiang, while I'm still willing to talk to you nicely, you'd better tell me everything honestly."

Under Zeng Xi's stern and intimidating gaze, Yao Daqiang forced himself to speak, trembling, "I...I didn't kill him, I just...I only anesthetized him."

"Anesthesia?"

"A relatively large amount is used."

"How big?"

"It took about five people's worth of food to feed one tiger."

Actually, it wasn't just that, but Yao Daqiang dared not say it at all, since too much anesthesia could kill people, no, kill tigers.

But he gave this order before deciding to steal the tiger cubs, otherwise, if the quantity was too small, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to take down the two big tigers in one go.

It turned out that using a larger quantity was the right thing to do. When the shot was fired, the tigress only took two steps before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

Originally, the male tiger wasn't in the den. After knocking down the female tiger, they could have taken the cubs and left. However, because they were worried that the cubs' cries might cause another accident, they mixed sleeping pills with water. One of them grabbed the struggling cubs, while the other pinched their mouths and fed them the pills.

Also worried that a small dose of medicine would cause problems, so the tiger cub was given four crushed sleeping pills. This is why the tiger cub is still dazed and hasn't woken up yet. Although I gave it water as soon as I brought it home to try to dilute it, the dose was still too large, and it hasn't woken up yet.

It was because feeding the tiger cubs medicine that they were delayed, which caused them to run into the male tiger returning from his outing when they left.

When the Lion King discovered the tiger family was in trouble, he found a human arm and a piece of clothing that had been torn in half inside the cave.

The tiger cub has disappeared, and the two adult tigers are unconscious.

When the Lion King arrived with the animals, Captain Yao had already spotted a gray wolf with an arm in its mouth through his binoculars.

He immediately sensed something was wrong; the lion king had brought his pack of wolves and many other animals, probably to seek revenge and to find the tiger.

But people are often like this; they inevitably harbor a sense of luck and the possibility of something going wrong until the very last moment.

For example, what if I could use the army to kill the Lion King and all the other animals?

It just so happened that a heavy rainstorm struck, so he treated them as animals going berserk in the rain and had no choice but to kill them, so no one could say anything against him. After all, he was the one guarding the city, and since the animals came to attack, he could kill them with a clear conscience.

When Yao Daqiang was contemplating killing the Lion King, he was still regretting that the two tigers hadn't come together. He thought he should have used less tranquilizer so that they could have been wiped out completely.

Then the tiger cub who adopted the orphan had a legitimate reason.

He had planned everything perfectly, but Jiang Qi ruined and blocked it, wasting his great opportunity.

At this moment, Yao Daqiang was filled with resentment and deliberately ignored the Lion King's golden armor. Could his bullet penetrate it?
"Tie him up and keep him aside."

Zeng Xi glanced coldly at Yao Daqiang, then turned to his daughter and said, "Go and call Jiang Qi."

Currently, only Jiang Qi and his squad are outside, maintaining a balance with the animals. He and his men are all ruthless and are not suitable to go there.

Zeng Tong tiptoed toward the main gate. A soldier opened the side door for her and immediately closed it after she went out.

Not long after, Zeng Tong led Jiang Qi in.

Uncle Zeng.

"How did it go? How did the talks with the Lion King go?"

Jiang Qi was speechless. It was true that he had a soft spot for animals and could sense their emotions to some extent, but he didn't understand animal language.

So, what does it mean to say that the talks with the Lion King went well?
When he jumped down, he shielded them from a barrage of bullets and also protected them from the heavily polluted rain from the sky. The animals didn't feel threatened by him, so they naturally maintained a harmonious relationship with him.

He didn't try to communicate with the lion, but the lion seemed to look at him with unusually peaceful eyes because he had shielded it from the bullet.

He stood face to face with the animals, and although it seemed like a long time had passed, it was actually only a few minutes, not long at all.

If the Lion King came here with a specific purpose, then even if he is helping them, he will not stop his attack on the West Gate.

The brief silence was merely to see what he intended to do.

They could sense that he meant no harm, but that was all. Jiang Qi knew he wasn't capable of avoiding the war.

Of course, he discerned this from the Lion King's wise and calm eyes.

But now it's different.

Jiang Qi took the little tiger cub and held it in his arms. After asking why, he learned that it was because he had taken too many sleeping pills, which caused his current confusion. He couldn't help but frown.

He freed two fingers, rubbed them gently, and a thin stream of water flew out from his fingertips and slowly entered the tiger cub's mouth.

The little tiger initially just stuck out its tongue and licked the water, then gently smacked its lips before opening its mouth and starting to drink large gulps of water.

After it finished drinking, its eyes actually opened.

Its amber eyes were moist and bewildered. It looked at Jiang Qi blankly, then hummed and closed its eyes again, snuggling into Jiang Qi's arms.

Jiang Qi stroked its little head, then wrapped it in a blanket, greeted Uncle Zeng, and turned to walk out the door.

Outside, the Lion King, who was staring at Lin Zhe and the others, couldn't help but growl when he saw Jiang Qi suddenly leave without a word and enter the door that it saw as an obstacle.

What exactly happened to that kid?

The above sentence is Lin Zhe's interpretation of him.

With Jiang Qi absent, he felt a little intimidated by the enormous lion.

He put one hand behind his back and quietly made a gesture, signaling Song Xiaoxiao and the others to step back. Then he also took two steps back, and his palms were inadvertently facing each other, making a gesture as if he could summon an electric net at any time.

It's no wonder he's taking it so seriously; after all, these creatures only recognize his brothers—and by definition, his brothers' brothers are brothers too. The problem is, he's willing to be brothers with lions and wolves, but are they willing to be?

No matter what, your life is the most important thing.

Fortunately, Jiang Qi returned shortly after leaving, carrying something that was unknown.

When he got closer, Lin Zhe tugged at his sleeve and asked him with his eyes, "What?"
Jiang Qi lifted a corner of the blanket, revealing a fluffy and adorable tiger head.

Tiger?
Is it a tiger?
Not a lion?

After confirming that what Lin Zhe saw was a tiger and not a lion cub, his eyes widened in surprise.

Given the lion king's elaborate commotion, coupled with Jiang Qi's speculation, he thought it had lost its cub.

It turned out to be a tiger cub!
what?

Did the lion and tiger interbreed?

Or for some other reason, why did the lion fly into a rage for the sake of the tiger cubs?

Jiang Qi was completely unaware that his good brother was having wild thoughts behind him.

He carried the tiger cub and slowly walked towards the Lion King. As he moved, the rainless space isolated by his supernatural power also moved forward.

Before long, Xu You and Yueyue, who were standing at the back, were suddenly splashed with water from head to toe.

The two didn't move forward together because Xu You was in charge of the outer perimeter, and she needed to prevent the people inside from shooting at them.

Meanwhile, Yueyue, who excels in close combat, is responsible for Xu You's safety.

The two girls wiped the water off their faces and couldn't help but whisper, "When will Jiang Qi be able to hold up the whole sky?"

"Yeah, it's useless to only be able to do fifty meters!"

Zeng Tong, who had just arrived to see how Jiang Qi would return the tiger cubs:
His superpowers are like this, and you two call them useless?
He's still holding up the sky, why don't you let him go to heaven?

She suppressed the urge to roll her eyes and, wearing a gray, transparent raincoat, walked forward unhurriedly.

At the very front, Jiang Qi kept moving forward, while the animals kept retreating until they reached the side of the lion king and the wolf pack. Only then did they turn around and rush to the back of the lion king.

Jiang Qi looked at the Lion King, and the Lion King looked at him. Then, the Lion King's gaze slowly moved down to the small floral blanket he was holding.

After drinking Jiang Qi's water, the little tiger woke up briefly for a minute before closing its eyes and falling asleep again.

It was still too young; it's a good thing that four sleeping pills didn't kill it.

Following the Lion King's gaze, Jiang Qi lifted the blanket in his arms, revealing the little tiger's soft and adorable head.

However, perhaps seeing that the tiger cubs had their eyes closed, the lion king's expression suddenly became very serious.

Jiang Qi lifted the entire blanket, letting it see the little tiger's belly bobbing up and down.

Sure enough, the lion king's expression softened, and he turned to look at the gray wolf beside him.

Then the gray wolf trotted over to Jiang Qi and gestured for him to hand over the tiger cubs to it.

good night!
