Chapter 1141 The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (22)

The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Twenty-Two)

Song Ning didn't give himself much leisure time. He ate half of the roasted rabbit with water, then boiled some water and quickly washed his underwear again, placing it next to the brazier to roast slowly.

He found a mask, gloves, and a hat, and after carefully checking that his clothes were not drafty, he slowly lifted the curtain and went out, holding the torch.

The firelight instantly dispelled the darkness outside, and the blazing flames stood firm against the howling wind. However, it seems we still need to consider other lighting methods, at least something windproof.

The wind and snow outside were even heavier than before. The orange firelight shone brightly in the white world, and his shadow was cast long on the snow.

"so cold."

Although Song Ning had made preparations in his room, he realized that he had underestimated how cold it was outside when he actually came out.

At this temperature, he doesn't need to worry about Li Dabiao's group coming to his door, because it's too cold. At this temperature, those cars probably won't even start, let alone come out looking for him.

"That's good news."

In less than a day, the whole place was covered in a blanket of white. Snowflakes drifted from the sky to every part of the earth, seemingly light but actually carrying a devastating weight.

Song Ning didn't dare stare at the snow for too long. He even blackened his lower eyelids with charcoal, just in case he was worried about the possibility of snow blindness.

Logically, he shouldn't have come out at this time, but Song Ning still had something on his mind and wanted to go and see.

He hadn't walked far with the torch when a figure followed him.

The dark, agile figure stood out prominently in the snow. Song Ning brought the torch closer to warm himself with the big cat, while expressing his doubts.

"Brother Leopard, won't your hunting be affected by the snow?"

Today, the rabbit seemed to return to the big cat not long after it disappeared. Could it be because the big cat is actually very powerful?

So powerful that they can ignore the disadvantages brought by their fur color?

The big cat didn't say anything, it just followed him straight beside him.

Song Ning didn't have the mind to ask any more questions, because even though he was wearing a mask, he could still feel the cold wind coming from his face when he opened his mouth. He brought the torch closer and touched the big cat with his other hand to try to warm himself up.

They didn't go too far because what Song Ning wanted to see was whether the lake had frozen over.

However, not long after they came out, Song Ning was somewhat shocked to find that there were still two animals drinking water in the lake ahead.

It's a bit hard to see exactly what it is, but judging from its size, it's only about two sizes smaller than a big cat.

"The lake hasn't frozen over?"

This was a pleasant surprise. Song Ning hadn't expected the lake to be so cold yet; he thought even the surface of the lake should have a thin layer of ice.

He went over and observed it carefully for a while, and then confirmed with Big Cat several times before he was certain that the lake would not freeze. As for why, even if Big Cat explained it, he wouldn't understand.

Besides, with zombies in the apocalypse, who would care about these things?

All he needed to know was that he could still draw water normally once the lake didn't freeze over. He didn't want to dwell on why it hadn't frozen over; contentment brings happiness.

Having confirmed that the lake wouldn't freeze, Song Ning, holding a torch, walked back with the big cat.

He started by slowly crawling, but after only a couple of steps he couldn't take it anymore and started running wildly, with the black panther almost disappearing into the night as he followed closely behind.

As if chased by a ghost, Song Ning ran wildly forward for a long distance until she could see the firelight in the small house. She tiptoed and ran again, rushing in, lifting the curtain and crawling inside.

The big cat followed him in silently. Song Ning quickly lowered the curtain, and without even putting down the torch, he went to the brazier and poked at the embers with a fire poker. The heat immediately hit him and drove away the biting cold.

"It's so cold, it's way too cold."

Only when he felt his hands and feet were no longer chilled and his cheeks behind the mask were slightly stinging from the heat did he shiver and tremble.

Damn it, he felt that the second half of the journey was several times colder than when he first went out. He didn't know exactly how much the temperature had dropped, but he felt that if he had come back any later, he would have frozen to death.

He stomped his feet on the spot and then started rubbing his hands together to generate heat. It took a while for his limbs to recover. Song Ning was a little glad that he had returned in time, but also a little scared.

Luckily, he ran back without thinking, otherwise who knows what would have happened if he were still outside.

He took off his coat and other clothes, added new charcoal to the brazier, and then quickly crawled into bed.

As soon as he crawled in, he couldn't help but shiver again. The blanket and the sleeping bag inside were so cold they were practically killing him. Song Ning looked at the big cat next to him for help and called out to it earnestly.

"Brother Leopard, why don't you come in and rest with us? It's so cold at night, there shouldn't be any creatures out and about. How about we make a fire together and then go to sleep?"

The big cat watched him slowly walk over, then swished its tail and lay down beside him as before.

Without thinking, Song Ning snuggled up to the big cat, pressed his back against its soft fur, and lay on his side like a baby, hiding in its embrace. He then covered the big cat securely with the freshly washed blanket and covered it with several layers of clothes on top.

The bed wasn't actually that cold. The mattress was of very good quality and looked like some expensive brand from before the apocalypse.

The blanket was also very good. Although Song Ning couldn't understand why the blanket was so light yet had excellent warmth retention, as if it were some kind of black technology, the blanket, combined with the body heat from the big cat, made him feel warm immediately, and his limbs gradually warmed up as well.

"I really don't know what I would do without you."

Song Ning nestled in the big cat's arms, her fingers unable to resist reaching back, and soon she pulled the cat's paws, which it readily accepted, into her arms for warmth.

The adult black panther lowered its head slightly and sniffed at the back of Song Ning's neck, then stretched out its tail and patted the blanket as if to comfort her.

"Hehe, anyway, I feel pretty lucky. I'm so fortunate to have met Brother Leopard."

In any case, Song Ning hadn't experienced days like this in a long time, where he could keep warm, have food, and didn't even have to worry about water or being attacked by zombies at night.

He laughed and soon fell into a deep sleep in this warmth, the black panther's paw still tucked in his arms, his vertical pupils looking at Song Ning's nape with a hint of doubt.

For some reason, he always felt a tightness in his chest when humans said those words.
