The whole nation is trying to survive on the cable car; I'm choosing one of three options at ea

It knew it had gone too far this time.

Stealing eggs, causing trouble, implicating its elders, and fighting to the death with the top predator in this area—if it weren't for the golden giant bear risking its life to block it, it would have been torn to pieces by that giant bird by now.

The brown bear lowered its head, carefully placed the two eggs on the ground, and pushed them towards the golden bear with its paw. This was the only compensation it could offer... handing over the eggs so its elders could handle them.

The golden bear looked down at the two eggs, then glanced at the brown bear.

There was no relief or reassurance in its eyes, only a deep, indescribable weariness.

It stretched out its forepaw, which had no broken claw, picked up an egg from the ground, weighed it in its hand, then picked up another egg and weighed it in the same way. Egg

The shell was intact, the weight was right, and the smell was right. It handed the egg back to the brown bear, then gently patted the bear's head with its broken paw. The movement was so light, almost imperceptible, but the brown bear's body stiffened abruptly, then slowly, very slowly, lowered its head. Something gleamed faintly in its eye sockets, but it didn't let it spill out.

The brown bear took the egg, lowered its head, and rubbed the shell with its nose.

The eggshell was smooth and warm, with a faint sweet fragrance, exactly like the egg it had stolen and drunk from before. It gently bit the eggshell with its teeth, preparing to bite open a small hole as before, and suck out the egg liquid to replenish its exhausted energy.

The eggshell is broken.

It wasn't bitten into pieces; it crumbled with the slightest touch.

The eggshell was as thin as paper, and the liquid inside... was not golden, viscous, and sweet-smelling egg white... but a transparent, water-like liquid that flowed out from the cracks in the eggshell and trickled down its chin.

A pungent chemical smell, like a mixture of alcohol and plastic, hit it, making it sneeze twice.

The brown bear was stunned.

It broke open the eggshell, and there was nothing inside... No, not nothing at all. There was a crumpled piece of paper, soaked and mushy in the liquid. On the paper were some symbols it couldn't understand, the edges of which slowly blurred in the liquid, turning into a meaningless blot of ink.

It looked at the other egg, which was no longer in the golden bear's hand. The golden bear also cracked open that egg with its paw; it shattered at the slightest touch, revealing a transparent liquid and a piece of mushy paper.

The brown bear stood still, clutching the two empty shells.

Its eyes were wide open, reflecting the two soaked pieces of paper, the slowly spreading ink stains, and its own reflection in the two puddles of clear liquid.

Its mouth was slightly open, revealing a row of teeth that had turned yellow from being soaked in egg liquid, and there was still some residual, spoiled liquid with a sour smell hanging from the corner of its mouth.

It let out a low growl, squeezed from the deepest part of its throat.

The sound pierced through the entire forest, startling flocks of birds perched in the treetops in the distance, and echoed in the open sky for a very long time.

The golden bear looked down at the wet piece of paper in its paws, and in its deep amber eyes, weariness turned into something colder and heavier.

It slowly turned around, looking in the direction the large bird had disappeared. Its nostrils twitched slightly, trying to discern any scent from the two pools of clear liquid... nothing. The scroll perfectly simulated the smell of an egg, but it couldn't simulate the essence of an egg. It

They ran across most of the zoo, fighting desperately with the big bird, breaking a leg and getting injured all over, only to end up with two puddles of foul-smelling transparent liquid and two pieces of soaked paper.

The golden bear threw the piece of paper on the ground, rubbed its broken paw on the dirt, then raised its head and let out a deafening roar that seemed to tear the sky apart.

The sound was louder than any of the roars during the previous battle with the giant bird. It was so loud that the surrounding trees trembled, the pebbles on the ground jumped, and the flocks of birds that had just landed back in the treetops were startled and scattered again.

The brown bear raised its head, the foul-smelling liquid still clinging to the corner of its mouth, a muffled gurgling sound coming from its throat as if something was blocking it. Its eyes no longer held the relief of surviving a close call, but a purer, more primal, frenzied light, as if something had ignited it from within.

In the distance, the two pieces of paper, scattered by the wind, tumbled a few times in mid-air before falling into the grass and disappearing from sight.

.......

After Lin Yuwei left.

Su Mu walked to the inner room, drew the curtains to make sure there were no gaps letting in any light, and then took the cracked egg and its yolk out of his backpack.

The egg liquid is still inside the eggshell.

The sweet fragrance still seeped out from the cracks, filling the entire room with a faint scent, like a mixture of honey and flowers.

Su Mu took a sniff and felt every cell in his body leap with excitement. The instinctive craving for high-energy substances almost overwhelmed his reason. The image of the bear on the rooftop frantically sucking on the egg flashed through his mind. He took a deep breath and suppressed the impulse.

He used the cap of a mineral water bottle to scoop out a small amount of egg liquid. The viscous, golden liquid shimmered in the dim light, like melted honey or solidified sunlight.

There's no fishy smell, no nauseating stickiness like raw egg liquid, only a pure, rich sweet aroma, as if all the nectar from an entire garden has been concentrated into this small sip of liquid.

Su Mu's throat moved; his body was screaming for him to choke on his own, but his reason told him he couldn't.

That bear was a level 10 purple-grade creature, and it almost exploded and died after drinking half an egg. His current level is level 8, and his physique is not even a fraction of that bear's.

He licked a little with the tip of his tongue.

In that instant, Su Mu felt as if his tongue had been ignited by something.

A warm current spread from the tip of his tongue to his entire mouth, from his mouth to his throat, from his throat to his esophagus, and finally exploded in his stomach.

It wasn't pain, but a feeling of comfort that radiated from within, a comfort that made every cell in his body ecstatic. His body was trembling, not from fear, but because the comfort was so intense, so intense that his muscles began to spasm involuntarily.

The energy of the egg liquid flowed like a warm river from his stomach to his limbs and bones, through every blood vessel, and into every muscle, every bone, and every cell.
