Chapter 1169 The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (51)

The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Part 51)

Liang Anlin and Song Ning exchanged a conflicted glance regarding the exploration of this research institute.

There's no other reason than that we don't have enough time.

They realized it was too late; if it had been earlier, they wouldn't be in such a dilemma.

Liang Anlin, unable to conceal his frustration, discussed the matter with Song Ning.

"What do you think?"

Song Ning was also conflicted, since just by looking at the outside, she could already guess that the inside must be very well preserved.

However, they certainly don't have enough time, and it's unknown how long the exploration will take, and they might even encounter some danger.

After thinking it over, Song Ning turned to look at the big cat.

"Brother Leopard, what do you think?"

Liang Anlin wasn't surprised by his appearance and turned to discuss it with the others in the group.

With Liang Anlin out of sight, Song Ning inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

For some reason, Song Ning always felt something was off about the way Liang Anlin looked at him and the big cat.

He couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange, but he just had a gut feeling about it.

The black panther was already used to the humans hugging it affectionately again.

The humans he raised were initially a bit timid, but now they seem to have gradually become much better under his care.

For example, her complexion has improved a bit, she's become more cheerful, and she likes to cuddle and ask for hugs.

The fluffy tail was still wrapped around the human's wrist. After listening to the human's coquettish words, the black panther's gaze fell on the building in front of it.

"Do humans want to go inside to look for something?" The black panther's gaze sharpened as it stared at the building in front of it for a long while.

"Roar."

A rare low growl came from the big cat's throat, startling Song Ning, who was still rubbing against the cat. She instinctively stood up to be on guard.

Even Liang Anlin and his men instantly went into battle mode. Liang Anlin lowered his voice and slowly led Jin Mo toward Song Ning, asking, "What's going on?"

Just as Song Ning was about to say that she wasn't quite sure either, she felt her wrist being tugged.

He instinctively followed the force and walked forward, only to find that the big cat was leading him away from the research institute's premises.

Liang Anlin saw it clearly too, and he blurted it out.

"Does Leopard mean we should leave?"

Following the big cat's momentum, Song Ning took several more steps forward and then confirmed it.

"It seems so. Brother Leopard means we shouldn't go in and explore."

As soon as he finished speaking, the big cat let out a deep purr, which meant it acknowledged him.

Song Ning and Liang Anlin looked at each other, and then Song Ning advised, "Why don't we listen to Brother Leopard? Besides, we don't have much time."

Liang Anlin weighed the options for a moment and nodded.

"Alright, let's retreat then. But I'd like to sell this information to the base in exchange for supplies when we leave. What do you think?"

Song Ning agreed, "That's better. There are more people at the base than we are, so they can make more preparations before coming down to explore."

In comparison, they lack both manpower and time, so it would be better for them to trade this information out.

Both sides reached an agreement and decided not to go any further, since it was almost time. They decided to turn back and make a deal with the base about the information first.

After all, what if someone else happens to discover this place as well?

They had markers and maps along the way when they came out, so it went very smoothly.

As we approached the exit, we encountered more and more people, most of whom had plenty of hands, indicating they had made a good haul.

Song Ning and his group, on the contrary, were left with relatively empty hands due to Liang Anlin's arrangements, and many people cast surprised and sympathetic glances at them.

Some acquaintances even came over to chat with Liang Anlin, their words seemingly offering comfort and sympathy, but in reality full of boasting and ridicule.

Song Ning was worried that Liang Anlin might act irrationally, but the old fox Liang Anlin didn't reveal his gains at all. Instead, he went along with the conversation and played the victim, almost saying, "I'm so miserable, I'm so miserable, why don't you give me something?"

Then that scared the person away.

"Leaving already? That's pointless."

Liang Anlin pushed up his glasses, turned around, and looked at him with a calculating gaze.

"Let's go, we're in a hurry, we can't waste too much time with them."

They quickened their pace, and unsurprisingly, the first batch emerged.

Sister Man was probably sitting outside when it was her turn to rest, and she was a little surprised to see them come out first. "Why are you here so early? I thought I wouldn't see you until tonight at the earliest."

Liang Anlin pushed up his glasses and took Jin Mo over. Song Ning didn't follow this time. He turned around and asked the big cat, "We're out now and it's safe. Are you hungry? Why don't you go hunt for a snack?"

Although Liang Anlin provided food for the big cat while they were underground, according to Song Ning's understanding of the big cat, the food was far from enough.

Fortunately, big cats have different bodies than humans, and the fat from their meal before setting off, along with the other food, was enough to sustain the big cats' energy expenditure.

But to say that they could have enough to eat is definitely impossible.

He was met with a purring sound from the big cat's throat and a warm, light touch on his body.

This action not only concealed the sharp nails but also demonstrated the perfect amount of force, all because the big cat valued Song Ning, a fact that Song Ning was well aware of.

That's why Song Ning is paying more and more attention to the big cat.

Human hearts are made of flesh and blood, and his heart is not made of stone.

"Are you really not going? There's no danger for me if I'm with them, so you don't need to worry about me."

Song Ning tried again to persuade Da Mao to go eat first, and that she could come back to find him later.

This time, the big cat glanced at him with its vertical pupils. Before Song Ning could figure out what it meant, the adult black panther stretched out its front paws and pounced on him. Song Ning was caught off guard and was directly pinned to the snow.

The big cat coiled itself around him, its meaning quite clear.

I said I'm not going, and that means I'm not going.

"Okay, I understand. Let me up now."

Song Ning tried to struggle, but even though the big cat was only pressing down on him lightly, it was not a weight he could shake.

Out of the corner of their eye, they noticed a man and a leopard playing in the snow, and Liang Anlin and Sister Man, who were discussing a deal, fell silent.

Sister Man: "Could it be that they were like this even underground?"

Liang Anlin's eye twitched slightly as he tried his best to protect his partner's reputation.

"That's not the case. It's probably just that they've been underground for too long, so they can't help but want to feel the fresh air outside after coming out."

Sister Man looked at him as if she had seen a ghost. "Do you think I would believe what you're saying?"

Liang Anlin looked completely innocent. "If you don't believe me, what else can I do but make up another excuse to lie to you?"
