Tang Ran and his group kept walking on their way, getting further and further away from City C, but Tang Ran felt increasingly uneasy.
The wise man is dead? How could this be possible? Tang Ran couldn't believe it at all.
Furthermore, the new emperor was killed just after he ascended the throne. Tang Ran could not imagine how crazy those infected people would be. This kind of thing was unheard of even six years after the end of the previous world.
Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Ran took Tang's mother aside and said, "Mom, get some food that is easy to carry and store, and give some to everyone."
Then he looked around at everyone: "Follow closely. If you accidentally get separated, go to Tianfu Base to gather. Remember that fate is the most important thing."
"Sister, let's take a rest before leaving." Hearing Tang Jing's words, Tang Ran felt anxious, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw the tired and haggard face of Tang's mother, Liu Qingshui who was holding Liu Lili, and Xu Fang who was following behind. Looks disheveled.
"Let's take a rest." Tang Ran was so exhausted that he didn't think about everyone's physical condition, and felt a little guilty.
After clearing a clearing with Tang Jing, he asked Liu Qingshui to take out some dry firewood and light a fire.
"Rest for an hour, and then we go to Qingshui Town in front and rest again." Tang Ran pointed at the map and said to everyone.
At this moment, a slight electric current came, and purple thunder and lightning instantly surrounded everyone present.
"Who, come out!" Liu Qingshui shouted, staring in the direction he came from.
Tang Ran felt the familiar aura, looked strange, and called out uncertainly into the darkness: "Qi Shaoyan?"
The firelight lengthened the shadow of the visitor, Qi Shaoyan walked out of the darkness, and the surrounding thunder and lightning instantly dissipated.
Tang Ran looked at Qi Shaoyan's eyes, touched his nose, and said dryly: "I haven't seen you since I woke up in the morning. The situation was urgent."
Hell, she actually saw a look of resentment in Qi Shaoyan's eyes. How was that possible?
Qi Shaoyan didn't reply, didn't even look at Tang Ran, he just said hello to everyone lightly, chose a place to sit down, closed his eyes and said nothing.
Tang Jing and Zhou Xiaoya both felt a chill behind their backs, moved their buttocks in the direction of Tang Ran, and pretended to close their eyes.
An hour passed in a blink of an eye, and Tang Ran and his party embarked on their journey westward again.
Not long after walking, fine snow covered Tang Ran's head. Zhou Xiaoya looked at the gloomy sky with some fear: "Sister Tang Ran, there won't be a snowstorm."
"It won't happen if the snow is so light." Tang's father said consolingly and reached out to pat the fine snow off Zhou Xiaoya's head.
But after a while, the snow became heavier and heavier, like cotton wool dropped from the sky. The cold air was sucked into his lungs, making it difficult for Tang Ran to breathe.
Feeling the whistling coolness around him, Tang Ran couldn't help but clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and glanced at Zhou Xiaoya who was hiding behind Tang's father, "Dig the snow hole and make it firmer."
Ignoring Tang Ran's gaze of wanting to eat people, Zhou Xiaoya made a face, used her powers and began to exert force. Who can blame her? She just said it casually.
The roar of the wind and snow echoed across the sky, as if it was about to swallow everything up.
Tang's father thought about the rescue team and survivors, and said in a worried tone: "I don't know what happened to those people. With such a heavy snowstorm, nothing will happen."
Tang Jing rolled his eyes when he heard this: "My dad, we are all trapped here, and you still worry about others."
Feeling everyone's speechlessness, Tang's father coughed twice in embarrassment and sat down next to Tang's mother for comfort.
It snowed for a whole day and two nights. Seeing the wind and snow getting lighter, the group of people emerged from the snow cave one by one.
Just when Tang Ran was about to ask everyone to continue on their way, Liu Lili suddenly tugged at the corner of Tang Ran's clothes.
"What's wrong, Lili?" Looking at this little baby who had been too silent since that incident, Tang Ran couldn't help but look down curiously.
When Liu Lili saw Tang Ran looking at him, she immediately lowered her head, raised her finger slightly and pointed back.
Everyone looked back in the direction of their fingers, and a large snowdrift came into view, with some dark red blood oozing around it.
"There seems to be someone." Xu Fang said uncertainly, reaching out to pick up her daughter. There was some joy in the corners of her eyes. Her daughter finally responded to the outside world.
"It can't be those survivors." Tang's father looked anxious and walked over there.
Tang Ran stared at it for a while, then called for Tang Jing to follow.
When they stood in front of the snowdrift and saw what it was, everyone couldn't help but take a breath and look shocked.
"Dig it out." Tang Ran had a guess in his mind and looked solemn.
The snow layer gradually thinned, and the huge body appeared completely in front of everyone. It was the tiger from before.
"Why are you here?" Tang Jing clicked his tongue, his eyes filled with disbelief.
Tang Ran looked at the dark green scratches on the tiger's body, and something flashed through her mind, too fast for her to catch.
Holding his breath and approaching, Tang Ran found that the tiger still had a faint breath.
The big copper bell-like eyes suddenly opened, and Tang Ran was so frightened that he quickly stepped back and shouted to the people behind him: "Get ready to fight."
The tiger struggled a few times but failed to stand up. He whimpered in his throat and looked up at Tang Ran with a pair of big eyes that seemed to be pleading.
But Tang Ran obviously didn't understand what Tiger meant, and he still stared at him warily, ready to take action at any time.
"Ouch." A faint voice came, and the tiger lowered his head and lay on the snow, slowly closing his eyes.
"Is he dead?" Xu Fang's voice was trembling. She had never seen such a tiger as big as a small mountain.
"I don't know." Liu Qingshui lowered his voice and stood slightly in front of his wife and daughter.
At this moment, Liu Lili suddenly struggled to get out of Xu Fang's arms, ran straight to the tiger, and even reached out to touch the tiger's head.
Everyone was immediately frightened and wanted to step forward to hold her.
"She wants Sister Tang Ran to save him." Liu Lili's childish voice came, lowering her head and gently leaning on the tiger's head and rubbing it twice.
"Don't talk nonsense." Liu Qingshui said subconsciously, looking sideways at Tang Ran's expression.
"Can you understand?" Tang Ran looked surprised, and the people around him looked at Liu Lili in disbelief.
Liu Lili hesitated for a moment, as if reacting, then nodded and looked at Tang Ran expectantly.
Tang Ran looked at the eyes full of fine light and couldn't bear to refute. He tensed up and leaned close to the tiger and whispered to the tiger: "If you want me to save you, just blink twice."
To everyone's surprise, the tiger actually blinked and whimpered again in his throat.
Tang Ran pulled Liu Lili away, and they looked at each other like this. Finally, Tang Ran made up his mind: "I can save you, but I can also kill you. You'd better not play tricks."
Tiger blinked again, lying on the spot motionless and letting Tang Ran play with him.
A faint green light emerged, and Tang Ran only dared to give a rough treatment, pretending to be helpless and waving his hands, "I'm not strong enough, so this is all I can do for the time being."
Upon hearing this, Tiger's eyes flashed with human thought, and he spit out a fist-sized light blue crystal from his mouth, and even raised the crystal in front of Tang Ran with his head.
When Tang Ran saw this, he opened his mouth in shock. He couldn't recover for a long time and looked at the tiger in disbelief.
