Reborn amidst natural disaster, my childhood sweetheart and dad help me stock up and win effortlessl

Liangzi had already imagined the expressions on his wife's and children's faces when he brought mutton home this time.

"Captain, should we continue using the traps, or should we take this sheep down the mountain now and deal with it?"

Liang Zi snapped out of his reverie and asked Ye Jingmo for his thoughts, awaiting his next instructions.

Jiang Li was equally pleased with her catch; she even wanted to hum a little tune.

Ye Jingmo looked up at the sky and then at his watch.

Four hours have passed since they arrived.

It took three hours just to climb the mountain.

Jiang Li felt it was safer to go down the mountain now, since if they spent time on the mountain, it would be dark by the time they got down.

Then the animals in the mountains will come out and roam.

"Take the ram down the mountain."

It's hot today, and we still have some time before we can get down the mountain.

I'm worried the ram won't survive that long; if it dies, the meat will spoil easily.

Ye Jingmo shared the same idea as Jiang Li.

As soon as Ye Jingmo finished speaking, Liang Zi immediately stepped forward and helped the ram's carcass up.

“Tie the ram to my body and I will carry it down.”

They didn't have a vehicle large enough to carry the rams.

Liangzi immediately instructed Ye Jingmo to use the rope he had just used to lasso the ram to secure it to him.

To prevent the ram from wobbling and falling to the ground while walking.

Ye Jingmo led the way, while Jiang Li stood behind Liangzi, helping him hold onto some rams to ease his burden.

The three of them retraced their steps.

Halfway along the way, the chirping of insects in the mountains and forests could be heard intermittently.

Pudding, who was following Ye Jingmo, suddenly stopped and growled in front of him, its fur standing on end.

Ye Jingmo stopped in his tracks, immediately pulled out a dagger from his pocket, and stared sharply in the direction Pudding was looking.

Liangzi immediately realized something was wrong, pulled out his baton from his waist, and looked on defensively.

Jiang Li secretly took out a pistol from her spatial storage, tucked it into her belt, and covered it with her clothes.

A sound came from the messy bushes, it seemed to be the wind, or perhaps something else.

"Could some kind of animal be hiding there?"

Liangzi lowered his voice and guessed.

Given the current weather and conditions on the mountain, it's unlikely anyone would go up the mountain at this time.

What's most likely is that some animal is hiding there?

But we've already covered most of the distance.

The area below the mountain lacks water, and the plants have all withered. Most of the animals on the mountain now live near the springs.

How could an animal have run down there?

Liangzi's mind was filled with questions.

The next moment, his question was answered.

A large black bear, as tall as an adult man, darted out of the bushes.

It charged straight toward Ye Jingmo and the other two.

It opened its mouth, revealing sharp teeth.

As it charged head-on, Jiang Li noticed that one of the black bear's eyes appeared to be injured; it was a one-eyed bear.

They reacted quickly, pulling Jiang Li and Liang Zi back.

Fortunately, Pudding gave a warning when they were some distance away; otherwise, the black bear would have jumped out as soon as they got close to the bushes, and they would have had no way to hide.

Cold sweat broke out on Liangzi's forehead as he ran, cursing under his breath.

"Damn it, how did a black bear suddenly appear here?"

Normally, black bears do not hunt humans; humans are not on their menu.

Unless it discovers that humans are easier to catch than other animals.

That alone proves one thing: this black bear had previously hunted humans and tasted human flesh.

Thinking about it this way is terrifying.

As Jiang Li pondered this question, she felt a cold sweat pour down her body.

If that's the case, the black bear definitely won't let them go.

The black bear quickly caught up with the three.

It raised its paw to slap Jiang Li on the back.

Ye Jingmo turned his head and saw this scene. His eyes widened in fury, and he turned around, gripping his dagger, to stab at the bear's paw.

The bear's paw and the dagger collided, producing a piercing sound.

The bear's paw was pierced by a sharp dagger.

The black bear froze in pain, but its eyes burned with fierce rage.

Ye Jingmo rolled backward, using his arms to shield his head and absorb the force of the collision with the black bear.

The black bear pounced on Jiang Li again.

Just because a tiger doesn't show its power doesn't mean it's a sick cat.

Jiang Li, who had been targeted twice by the black bear, unceremoniously pulled out his pistol and shot it into the bear's other eye.

However, her marksmanship still lacked some accuracy.

The bullet struck the black bear in the brow, leaving a scar on its brow peak.

Liangzi was shocked when he heard the gunshot, but he quickly calmed down.

With Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li's abilities, acquiring a pistol was not a big deal.

In the post-apocalyptic world, gun control is not as strict as it used to be.

Besides, now is not the time to think about these things. If you're dead, why care where the gun came from?

Liangzi was extremely relieved that Jiang Li was holding a pistol.

Otherwise, weapons like sticks would not be able to inflict fatal damage on the black bear.

A look of apprehension crossed the black bear's eyes as it stared intently at the gun in Jiang Li's hand.

Black bears are not unintelligent; they know perfectly well that guns are lethal weapons and how much damage they can cause.

It gave rise to a desire to retreat.

Since it cannot kill these three humans today, it will not waste its energy.

Black Bear gazed intently at Jiang Li and the other two, as if trying to etch their faces into his memory.

Then he landed on all fours and retreated rapidly.

Seeing the black bear flee, Jiang Li fired several bullets from his pistol.

The bullet struck the black bear in the back, and it shuddered in pain, but its running speed did not decrease in the slightest.

The black bear had run far away and was now just a black dot, so Jiang Li could only put away his pistol.

Her face darkened; black bears are known for holding grudges.

This black bear probably hates them now; they'll have to be very careful going up the mountain from now on.

They didn't know where it would suddenly appear from to strike them.

"Let's hurry down the mountain."

Jiang Li said that the ram's wound was not big, but there was still a bloody smell coming from it.

Animals are very sensitive to these smells.

No one is sure if other animals will come running after smelling the scent.

Getting down the mountain as soon as possible is the safest course of action.

During the rest of the descent, all three remained highly vigilant.

Ye Jingmo and Jiang Li positioned themselves in front of and behind Liangzi, ensuring his safety.

He carried a ram on his back, so he couldn't react quickly enough if an animal attacked.

This formation is essential.

By the time they reached the foot of the mountain, all three of them were covered in sweat.

Despite the sweltering heat, a cool sensation arose from the soles of my feet.
