I twitched at the corner of my mouth and banished that unrealistic idea from my mind. A body double? This wasn't a movie.
Chapter 79: Awoooo~ (Monthly Ticket Bonus Chapter)
What was a movie?
Breakfast was simple enough: a few tiger-meat buns, a bowl of tiger-bone soup, and some soy-braised tiger meat.
Hmm... Was this uncle planning to raise me into the tiger's natural enemy?
After eating, I at least left five yuan behind. It wasn't much, but it could at least make up for some of what I'd used up over the past few days, right?
I left the restaurant without a sound and returned home. I glanced at the little one. This little thing got hungry so quickly. As soon as I
showed up, the cub started squeaking. There was nothing for it—
I had to heat some water and make up another bottle of milk.
A few days passed without anything special happening.
By October 13, my injuries had healed long ago, but I still hadn't gone to the Mercenary Guild these past few days. The reason was this little one.
The cub seemed to grow a little every day. In just over a week, it could already open its eyes and let out hoarse little roars in a babyish voice.
"Awoooo~"
The little one looked at me and called out clumsily. Then it lifted its tiny legs one after another, taking unsteady steps until it reached me.
"Awooo~"
"Hungry?"
"Awooo~"
"Okay, wait a bit."
I nodded, mixed the formula with the hot water I'd boiled, and soon the whole room smelled of goat's milk. The cub was drooling with eagerness. It sat obediently at my feet, waiting to be fed.
I had to say, creatures after the apocalypse were worlds apart from the ones before it.
