Chapter 195: You Look Really Attractive When You Smile

Su Ying increased the drug dosage of the tranquilizer darts again, but this time, her target wasn’t that earlier tiger, but another one.

The tranquilizer dart shot out, and that second tiger stiffened for a few moments before falling down like the previous one.

Su Ying didn’t stay idle. Instead, she shot the tranquilizer darts at the deer that were fleeing in panic.

Roar!

One tiger seemed to have discovered Su Ying’s whereabouts. It slowly padded towards the tree she was hiding in. After sniffing the tree, it raised its head and looked upwards.

Su Ying looked downward and her eyes met a pair of tiger eyes that were suffused with a chilly, dark light.

The tiger’s whiskers quivered, and it bared its teeth. The big tiger then climbed up toward Su Ying.

Its body was huge, but it was exceptionally agile when climbing trees.

Su Ying looked at the tiger and slowly raised the tranquilizer gun in her hand. However, just as she was about to shoot the tranquilizer dart, she saw the second tiger, who had just been hit by the tranquilizer dart, stand up.

Hah! This was really very interesting.

Su Ying put away the tranquilizer gun and took out the electric baton.

“Since the tranquilizer dart couldn’t deal with you guys, I’ll let you have a taste of numbness from electric shocks,” she thought.

That tiger was extremely wary. When it was only three steps away from Su Ying, it stopped and did not immediately move forward. Instead, it observed Su Ying’s movements and chose the best time to attack.

Su Ying didn’t have the patience to waste time with it. She turned on the electric baton in her hand to the maximum strength and swung it at the tiger.

Roar!

The tiger’s roar froze mid-way, and its body instantly stiffened on the spot. Then, it fell all the way to the base of the tree.

The commotion here attracted the attention of the other tigers. They stopped tearing at the deer on the ground and instead began creeping toward Su Ying.

Su Ying swung her electric baton, waiting for the tigers to come near her.

Those tigers sniffed the fallen tiger, but they were wary and did not climb up the tree.

The two sides were stuck in a stalemate like this.

If the enemies didn’t move, Su Ying wouldn’t move. She had all the time in the world.

After an unknown period of time, one tiger finally couldn’t take it anymore. It tried to climb up the tree tentatively, every step filled with caution.

Su Ying looked at it calmly. The tiger took nearly fifteen minutes to cover only a short distance.

When it reached the halfway mark, the tiger suddenly roared and pounced on Su Ying.

Su Ying’s eyes widened, and the electric baton in her hand was activated at its maximum strength as she stabbed it directly at the tiger’s jaw.

Roar!

The tiger’s limbs stiffened, and even its tongue stuck out when it was hit by the electric shock.

Thump! That tiger fell headfirst onto the ground.

Roar!

When they saw this, the tigers waiting below all dodged.

The alpha male tiger seemed to be enraged. Just as it was about to attack with the other tigers, a strange whistling sound suddenly rang out in the air.

When those tigers heard the whistle, their bodies tensed up. Then, they turned around and ran into the depths of the forest.

Su Ying frowned and quickly jumped down from the tree, intending to give chase. However, when she turned to look at the deer and the other two tigers on the ground, she decided to put them into her interspatial store first.

After she had collected all the prey, she realized that there were no traces of the tigers on the detector anymore. The detector’s sensors could not reach very far, but judging from the time that had lapsed when she last used it, those tigers had sped away at top speed.

There were actually people who tamed tigers in this mountain…

Su Ying suddenly thought of the wild beasts she had accidentally seen when she entered the mountain previously. At that time, she had thought that they were all wild, but now it seemed that there were still many unknown entities in the mountains.

However, she had a pretty good harvest today. As for that unknown person, she did not want to probe too deeply before she was provoked.

On the way down the mountain, Su Ying picked up some wood, which she would use to tie up her prey later.

After returning to the slope, she took out a deer from her interspatial store and placed it on the wooden planks that had been bundled together. Then, she used some vines to drag it to the bottom of the slope.

In the distance, she could see Xiao Jin and his men constructing the defensive wall on the external perimeter of the slope.

“Xiao Jin,” Su Ying called out.

Xiao Jin raised his head to look in her direction when he heard her. After giving a few instructions to the men beside him, he ran over to Su Ying. When he saw the deer behind her, he frowned slightly. “Did you go into the mountain again?” “Mm-hmm. I want to improve our food. Have you finished on your side?”

“Let me inform them. Then I’ll go back with you.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Xiao Jin said a few words to Jiang Yang before going home with Su Ying.

“You walked here?” Xiao Jin took the vine from Su Ying’s hand and helped her drag the deer.

Su Ying was stunned for a moment. She had forgotten to take the horse out.

“No. I rode my horse here, but my horse is tied to the door in front. Wait for me here. I’ll go get the horse.”

Su Ying ran off after she finished speaking, and she soon returned on horseback.

Xiao Jin tied the vine to the saddle and got the horse to drag the deer. He led the horse in front, and Su Ying walked beside him.

Xiao Jin tilted his head slightly and looked at Su Ying. The colorful rays of the sun shone on her body, causing her entire body to be enveloped in a layer of faint golden light. It made her look like warm sunshine in winter, illuminating the freezing cold earth here as well as his frosty face.

“Su Ying, how did you celebrate the New Year in the past?”

New Year?

Su Ying felt that this term was both familiar and unfamiliar. During the apocalypse, the people no longer cared about any festivals, but her battle comrades would always tell her about festivals she had never heard of on certain days unexpectedly.

She knew about the New Year because her battle comrades would always get some food from somewhere to eat with her on that day.

That was probably the day she looked forward to the most in a year.

“Eat something delicious.”

Xiao Jin chuckled softly.

Su Ying turned around, and her eyes became deeply mesmerized by his smiling face.

His tanned skin looked even more lively under the orange glow of the sunset. Coupled with his smile, it made him look alive, completely different from his usual expressionless face.

“Xiao Jin.”

“Hmm?”

“You look pretty attractive when you smile.” Su Ying spoke very sincerely. She wasn’t someone who cared about people’s appearances, but she still had her own aesthetic standards. Xiao Jin’s face was indeed pleasing to the eye, but she was just too lazy to appreciate it.

Xiao Jin’s smile froze. “Do you like it?”

Su Ying nodded. “Mm-hmm. It’s not like Qiao Yang. He looks like a fool when he smiles.”

Achoo!

Qiao Yang, who was far away in the Tiger Base, sneezed abruptly. “Bastard, who was it? Who was badmouthing me behind my back?”

Tiger Might slapped him on the head. “Idiot, why are you making such a fuss? Open your eyes wide and guard the place well. Otherwise, follow them to the back of the mountain to make charcoal.”

Qiao Yang rubbed his head in an aggrieved manner. “I don’t want to make charcoal. I’ll guard the gate, alright?”

Meanwhile, Xiao Jin’s smile remained frozen on his face.

Su Ying didn’t seem to feel that what she said was inappropriate at all. When she thought of the venison they were going to eat tonight, she was practically walking on clouds and even hummed a little tune leisurely..
