105: mutated torrent

That terrifying Siberian Tiger, the Tiger King, he actually didn't die?

How could it still be alive?

The Ismail Institute clearly used missiles.

The thought that Lin Tianwei might still be alive immediately scared Professor Areino out of his wits.

At this moment, he had no trace of his former disdain for Lin Tianwei.

His eyes were filled only with deep apprehension.

Carefully comparing the videos, looking at the almost identical patterns,

and other very reasonable evidence,

Professor Areino finally came to a terrifying conclusion.

Lin Tianwei was not dead.

Not only was he not dead, but he was living well, having transformed into a seemingly soft and harmless, but actually still incredibly terrifying, tiger cub.

Adding to that the equally undead Black and White,

the four terrifying missiles launched earlier, and the utter devastation in the Primeval Forest,

this was practically the funniest joke, mocking the Ismail Institute's stupidity.

Even Professor Areino, thick-skinned as he was, couldn't help but blush.

However, he quickly transitioned from despondency to excitement.

Let bygones be bygones!

If they could capture the cub that the Tiger King had regressed into,

and re-domesticate or research it,

this would be an incredibly joyous event for the entire Ismail Institute.

Professor Areino immediately said, "Since there's a discovery, go chase it quickly."

"Mike, I'm not criticizing you, but for such an important matter, why do you still need me to give the final approval?"

"Capture the Tiger King, and I'll count it as a great achievement for you!"

In contrast to Professor Areino's excitement, Mike's face held only bitterness, saying, "Professor, the Tiger King already ran away!"

"After killing Areino, he chose to escape at the first opportunity."

"Not only that, he also abducted a Giant Panda suspected of being an Awakened."

"We've suffered a huge loss!"

"The reason I'm looking for you this time is to ask you to leverage the Ismail Institute's influence."

"To quickly capture the escaped Tiger King and Giant Panda."

Ran away?

Actually ran away?

Professor Areino's eyes widened; he felt like a cooked duck had flown away.

He immediately put aside his complaints and quickly contacted his superiors, requesting that the Ismail Institute's high-level forces be dispatched to pursue the Tiger King.

Especially that newly recruited Awakened unit.

Sending them to deal with the degenerated Lin Tianwei would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?

Of course, the first thing to solve was how to find the escaped Lin Tianwei by following the clues.

This was a simple matter for the Awakened unit, who possessed various abilities.

"Oh, and Areino's body shouldn't be wasted either."

"Study her thoroughly; if we can master her ability,"

"it will be very beneficial for us."

"Under this tide of mutation, even we humans must find ways to survive."

Night.

Lin Tianwei was unaware that he had been exposed.

Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Missiles couldn't stop him; other methods would be even less likely.

A nuclear bomb for mutual destruction?

Whether Lin Tianwei would die was unknown, but the people on this land would definitely die terribly.

After a comfortable sleep, Lin Tianwei's plump body became much leaner.

His size also became much larger.

He was using the energy stored in his body for development.

This world had changed; constantly suppressing his strength would only put him in a passive position.

Conservatively estimated,

a normal Siberian Tiger would take three to five years to reach its physical peak.

For Lin Tianwei, less than half a year was already enough.

This could be seen from the rapidly growing teeth in his mouth.

Normally, tiger cubs only grow teeth after nearly a month of drinking milk.

This also meant that milk alone could no longer satisfy their needs.

They needed to start eating meat!

Thump-thump-thump.

A dull knocking sound came from outside the door.

It instantly woke up Black and White, who was sleeping.

It looked around warily until it sensed the invisible Lin Tianwei, only then did Black and White completely relax.

In its consciousness, as long as Lin Tianwei was still there, even if the sky fell, it would be fine.

Facing Ouro's knock, Lin Tianwei said in a deep voice, "Come in."

With the sound of gears turning, Ouro appeared at the storeroom door.

He said with a fawning expression, "Mr. Panda, the room you requested is ready."

"It's waiting for your inspection now."

"If there's anything you're not satisfied with, please tell me immediately, and I'll improve it right away."

After speaking, he walked forward on his own, as if leading the way for Black and White.

Although he had been staying in the storeroom, with Bloodwing's assistance, Lin Tianwei was well aware of the situation throughout the farm.

He naturally knew that Ouro hadn't been slacking off.

Or secretly betraying him.

Riding on Black and White, one tiger and one bear, they followed Ouro to their new residence.

Although it wasn't late at night yet, there wasn't a single farm worker to be seen on the road.

Clearly, Ouro had meticulously cleared the area.

Not only that, but he also used the excuse of a celebration to erect a huge temporary dome along the road.

Helping Lin Tianwei block any prying eyes from the sky.

Before long, the tiger and bear followed Ouro to an abandoned warehouse.

Although it was an abandoned warehouse, it was clear that it had recently been meticulously cleaned.

Upon entering, they found it to be very luxurious inside.

Not only was the space large enough, clean, and tidy, but it was also filled with food.

Corn? Eggs? white cut chicken? Vegetables?

There was even a large amount of beef.

Judging by its freshness, it was definitely freshly slaughtered deliciousness.

It was a world of difference from the junk food provided by the Zoo back then.

There were even simple shower and drainage facilities.

There was more than one light as well.

Enough for the tiger and bear to live very well here.

Looking at the stopped Black and White, Ouro asked somewhat nervously, "Mr. Panda, what do you think of this place?"

Although he didn't know what Black and White wanted to eat, Ouro felt that it was always right to prepare more.

Therefore, the amount of food he prepared was incredibly exaggerated.

Piled up in layers, it made Lin Tianwei even drool a little.

"It seems you put some effort into this matter."

"Since that's the case, I'll also give you a promise."

"As long as you sincerely work for me, I will also protect your safety to a certain extent."

Protect my safety?

And only to a certain extent?

You demon, I'd be thanking heaven if you didn't kill me.

Who cares about your protection?

Trust you?

I'd rather trust the shotgun in my hand.

Although he was unconvinced in his heart, Ouro at least knew that Black and White was quite satisfied with his arrangements.

Which meant he had temporarily appeased this terrifying Giant Panda.

He immediately said respectfully, "Esteemed Mr. Panda, to prevent you from being discovered by the workers here, please allow me to lock the door."

"If you need to go out, please contact me first, and I will try my best to arrange it for you."
