Chapter 70 - 68: Da Bai Reappears

Jiang Si held up the torch and carefully surveyed the area. Besides the dropped tracker, she also found Qin Shen’s survival pack.

’If he were still alive, there’s no way he would have left his survival pack behind in the middle of nowhere.’

’If he didn’t take it, he probably met with disaster.’

Jiang Si’s breath hitched. If someone as capable as Qin Shen could meet with disaster, then Jiang Linhai and the others were in even greater danger.

Jiang Si climbed back onto the bulldozer and drove in the direction indicated by the tracker.

Along the way, aside from the swarms of poisonous scorpions, she still found no trace of Qin Shen.

Jiang Si was frantic, wishing she could turn the bulldozer into an airplane.

After plowing ahead for twenty minutes, Jiang Si emerged from the cactus grove. She hastily pulled a dirt bike from her storage space and sped toward Jiang Chengwu and Zhang Qingfang’s location.

The buzzing of the motorcycle was incredibly loud in the silent night.

Watching the small red dots on the tracker get closer and closer, Jiang Si prayed that Jiang Chengwu and Zhang Qingfang were all right.

Suddenly, just as they were about to meet, a huge figure loomed in the darkness. It was a terrifying beast.

Jiang Si’s heart sank. Realizing the beast had likely harmed her grandparents, her eyes instantly turned red. Her hands trembled as she raised her gun.

’I was reborn and fought so hard just to protect my family. I can’t believe it still ended like this.’

’I have to skin this beast alive.’

The beast’s figure grew closer and larger in the beam of her high-beams. Just as Jiang Si’s bloodshot eyes made out the human figures on its back, her eyes suddenly welled up with tears of excitement.

’They’re not dead!’

’Grandpa and Grandma are alive!’

Zhang Qingfang’s voice was the first to call out, "Sisi, is that you?"

Jiang Si was wearing a helmet, and her high-beams were too bright for them to see clearly.

Choking back a sob, Jiang Si took off her helmet. "It’s me! It’s me!"

Zhang Qingfang breathed a heavy sigh of relief. Jiang Si, coming to her senses, switched her high-beams to low-beams.

As the light changed, she finally got a clear look at what was carrying Zhang Qingfang and Jiang Chengwu.

A giant white tiger with a cold, aloof expression. It was unmistakably the White Tiger that had left without a word!

Jiang Si rushed over excitedly and hugged Zhang Qingfang. "How did you end up riding the White Tiger?"

Patting her on the back, Zhang Qingfang said, still shaken, "We were caught on a tree full of thorns. No matter how much we struggled, we couldn’t get free. We were nearly scared to death when we saw the White Tiger. Luckily, it seemed to recognize us. Not only did it not bite us, but it also climbed the tree and rescued us. When the poisonous scorpions came out at night, it lifted us onto its back. Then, it probably heard you and brought us over to meet up." After speaking, she didn’t forget to stroke the White Tiger’s soft neck, saying excitedly, "It’s truly intelligent."

The only one having a hard time was Little Black, who was being carried on Jiang Chengwu’s back, trembling in fear.

Jiang Si looked at the White Tiger, meeting its deep eyes, and thanked it sincerely, "Thank you!"

The White Tiger snorted, then suddenly pounced, knocking her to the ground. It pinned her down as if it wanted to play.

Its sudden move nearly gave Zhang Qingfang and Jiang Chengwu a heart attack.

Thankfully, the White Tiger was just acting like it was seeing its long-lost master, wanting to cuddle with Jiang Si. Only then did they relax.

Jiang Si didn’t mind being pinned down, but she still had to find the others. She gave it a little push and, feeling its soft neck, couldn’t help but nuzzle it. She sighed, "You’re so big, but you’re still acting spoiled. Why did you run off before? I have important things to do right now. Can you let me up, please?"

Jiang Si was trying to reason with a giant white tiger, and to her surprise, it actually seemed to understand.

It stood up unhurriedly and lifted Jiang Si onto its back.

The White Tiger was twice the size of a normal tiger; there was more than enough room for three people.

Jiang Si was afraid the weight would be too tiring for it, so she had Jiang Chengwu take Zhang Qingfang on the motorcycle.

Jiang Si patted the White Tiger’s back and explained the direction where Jiang Linhai and the others were. Zhang Qingfang asked, "What about Qin Shen?"

Based on the distance and time of the parachute drops, Jiang Si should have been the first to find Qin Shen.

Jiang Si sighed. "I only found his tracker. He’s gone. But I didn’t see a body, either. Maybe he ran into some danger and is hiding for now. Or maybe there was an accident during the landing, and he got separated from his tracker and emergency pack."

Jiang Si could only guess, but her intuition told her that a capable and mysterious man like Qin Shen wouldn’t die so easily.

’He might have even gone to look for them.’

Without Qin Shen, they wouldn’t have been able to parachute so smoothly.

Besides, after spending so much time together, everyone had grown rather fond of him.

Zhang Qingfang and Jiang Chengwu were both worried about Qin Shen’s safety. "I hope he’s all right," they said worriedly.

Jiang Si nodded. "Once we find Mom and Dad, I’ll have the White Tiger search for Qin Shen’s location."

Tigers have a keen sense of smell. With the White Tiger’s help, they might be able to find him quickly.

Zhang Qingfang and Jiang Chengwu’s eyes lit up, their faces filled with pride at how amazing the White Tiger was.

Riding on the White Tiger’s back, Jiang Si’s speed was no less than Jiang Chengwu’s on the motorcycle.

Lu Zhifeng and Niu Niu’s tracker signals were gradually merging with her parents’.

Jiang Si said happily, "They’ve met up! We can go look for Qin Shen soon."

Qin Shen was their family’s savior and played an indispensable role in the group.

This apocalypse was even more terrifying than in her last life. Jiang Si realized that the slightest misstep on her part could put her family in immense danger. While more people could be a hassle, Qin Shen was no trouble at all.

Whatever his motives were, Jiang Si hoped Qin Shen would stay with their group.

To prevent him from meeting with disaster, they obviously had to find him as soon as possible.

Her happiness was short-lived. The White Tiger stopped abruptly.

Just as Jiang Si was wondering why, she followed the White Tiger’s gaze and saw that it had stopped on a hilltop, which had a perfect view of a human encampment below.

Jiang Si took out her infrared binoculars.

The encampment was built from simple wood and earth. It was quite large, with about a hundred people.

Men armed with spears and guns patrolled the perimeter.

Lu Zhifeng and the others’ trackers were showing a signal from inside.

’Knowing that I would definitely come looking for them, there’s no way Lu Zhifeng and the others would have gone to a place like this.’

That meant they had been captured and brought here.

Jiang Si looked carefully into the camp again and suddenly spotted Big Black. It was trussed up, and a man was sharpening a knife next to it.

’They’re going to eat Big Black!’

A jolt went through Jiang Si’s heart. She scanned the area for Jiang Linhai and the others. Two thatched huts with guards posted outside looked very suspicious.

Suddenly, a man in a bulletproof vest walked out of the most luxurious-looking wooden hut.

He abruptly looked in Jiang Si’s direction, as if he knew she was watching him.

His gaze was sharp and dangerous.
