Chapter 399 - 399: One Person’s Strength Is Limited
The black panther stopped when it was less than ten meters away from them. It didn’t show any intention to attack, and its eyes didn’t even have a hunting
It was precisely because they had sensed that it had no intention of attacking that the two of them did not make any dodging movements.
‘Gu Ying, I keep feeling that this black panther seems a little familiar.”
Although MO Ruyue had a photographic memory, she was still a little uncertain.
She had once let a black panther go, healed its wounds, and left some food for it. However, the black panther was not that big.
“I also find it familiar.”
Gu Ying was also very familiar with the black panther.
He had once been attacked by a black panther like this, but he had been merciful and spared its life, releasing it.
“Don’t tell me you just happened to spare a black panther?” MO Ruyue suddenly had an idea and asked hesitantly.
“What a coincidence, I did.”
Gu Ying’s answer made the two of them speechless, and they looked at the black panther again.
However, if this was the leopard that they had bypassed at the same time, its size was different.
Could it be that it had been exposed to radiation and had mutated?
Many of the meteorites that fell from the natural disaster had not been completely burned. When they fell to the ground, they brought along the alien fungi. It was hard to say that the rays from the meteorites would not affect animals.
“Do I need to wear protective clothing?”
Gu Ying saw the black panther shake its head and squat down on the ground. It even tilted its head to look at them, its eyes alert and full of curiosity.
He turned his head and met MO Ruyue’s eyes. He finally confirmed the black panther’s identity.
“Not for now. Let’s take out the geiger reader and test it first. Otherwise, if we change into the protective suit, it may trigger its aggression.
With the skills of MO Ruyue and Gu Ying, it was impossible for them to be injured by the black panther.
She just felt that such a tenacious life should not be obliterated for such ridiculous reasons, since it had survived such a natural disaster.
After he took out the reading device, the number on it stabilized, which proved that the radiation did not exceed the normal value.
After removing the possibility of radiation contamination, the two of them were even more relaxed.
Especially when MO Ruyue dragged out half a frozen sheep from the freezer in the space, defrosted it quickly, and threw it to the black panther.
It jumped up excitedly and grabbed the frozen sheep with its mouth. It then lay on the ground and began to eat. It seemed that it had been hungry for a long time.
After the natural disaster, not only did humans suffer heavy casualties, but even the plants and animals on the mountain suffered a destructive blow. Especially when there was a landslide the day before, it was even worse.
She didn’t know how long it had not eaten to be so hungry.
MO Ruyue returned to the bonfire and sat down. She also pulled Gu Ying to sit down. Even though the two of them had their backs to the black panther, they were no longer on guard.
“When we were spraying medicine today, we had already walked around the valley a few times. After the entrance to Mirror Valley disappeared, we couldn’t find any other way out.”
“If we want to leave tomorrow, other than the cave we came in from, we can only choose to climb up the cliff.”
When she was killing the alien bacteria, she had carefully observed the entire valley of treasures. Other than the two holes, it was like a closed ring with no other path.
“When this black panther came down just now, it seemed to have a very smooth way up. Let’s go and take a look at it tomorrow morning.”
Fortunately, the black panther came down from the cliff on the side of the valley and didn’t walk on the opposite cliff. Otherwise, even if he climbed out, he would still have to take a long detour to return to the original location of the Qin Village.
“What I want to know the most now is how this black panther survived the natural disaster, and what caused its body to expand so much.”
“If the giant wolf pack hadn’t been kept into my medium and had luckily avoided the natural disaster, would their bodies have also expanded?”
MO Ruyue turned back to look at the black panther, who was gobbling down the food, and questions emerged in her heart.
Whether there were any other surviving animals in the mountains had also undergone a mutation.
She wasn’t worried about their herbivorous actions, but more worried about the harm that wild beasts like tigers, leopards, and boars would bring to humans after they mutated.
“Bing ‘Er, you’re overthinking. There are some things that even you and I can’t do anything about. Even if you want to save them, how many can you save?
Gu Ying’s words were very realistic and cruel.
From the moment they predicted the occurrence of natural disasters, they had been making choices.
Save some people and abandon more.
Even in the process of their rescue after the catastrophe, this choice was constantly being carried out.
After all, a person’s strength was limited, and it was not easy to have a clear conscience.
“I understand what you mean, and I don’t have the desire to save the people of the world. I was just sighing.”
MO Ruyue shook her head.
She had indeed changed too much. If it was her past self, she would not have considered these things at all.
The change that her babies brought to her was also the motivation that allowed her to escape the darkness and be born into the sun.
“Alright, let’s rest early. We’ll go rock climbing tomorrow morning and find a suitable path to leave this place.”
MO Ruyue looked at the place where the entrance of the Mirror Valley used to be.
There was no need to come here anymore, so it was time to say goodbye.
The next morning, MO Ruyue and Gu Ying extinguished the bonfire and walked in the direction of the black panther.
When they moved, the black panther that had been lying behind them also got up and walked ahead of them. It looked back at them from time to time, as if it was leading the way.
“Bing ‘Er, this black panther seems to want us to follow it first.”
Gu Ying saw through the black panther’s intentions and so did MO Ruyue.
“Don’t doubt it, that’s what it’s planning.”
The black panther had indeed followed the path they had come from and brought them to the place where it had descended to the bottom of the valley.
“Look, the rocks here can help us climb up.”
MO Ruyue quickly saw a path up. For the black panther with its strong jumping ability, it was as easy as walking on flat ground, but for ordinary people, it was impossible to go up without the help of tools.
Of course, this wasn’t a problem for MO Ruyue. After confirming the route, she and Gu Ying immediately started to climb up.
Gu Ying still took the lead and fastened the safety belt. After ensuring that nothing would go wrong, MO Ruyue continued to walk up.
The black panther had already reached the top of the cliff and looked down at the two of them climbing up. When it was bored, it even climbed down and began to lick its claws to clean its face.
This cliff was more than fifty meters from the ground, but for MO Ruyue and Gu Ying, it would take them less than an hour to climb to the top.
MO Ruyue pulled out the safety buckle as she went up to minimize the traces of advanced technology left in this world.
It was also because of this that their climbing speed had slowed down.
MO Ruyue didn’t turn around until she reached the top of the rock wall. The scene in front of her made her speechless for a long time.
The terrain here should have been elevated, and they could see the direction they came from. The entire cliff there had sunk down, and the mountain peak in the distance had been cut in half..
