"Mr. Ye, watch out!"
Zion turned around and saw a tiger charging towards them. The tiger's eyes were bright red.
It had been rumored that this forest was contaminated and the original institute was destroyed. Did that mean that these animals were infected and mutated?
What should they do now that there was a tiger with variant genes? How were they supposed to defeat it?
Zion wanted to pull Nathaniel, but Nathaniel suddenly turned around and shot a dagger out from his sleeve while aiming straight for the tiger's eyes.
"Take your mommy away first!"
After saying that, Nathaniel jumped up and directly confronted the tiger.
Mango's heart was beating fast when she saw this.
Although she knew that this was an ancient forest, and she expected wild animals would appear, she still couldn't believe that this was happening as she witnessed this with her own eyes.
"Zion, you go first."
Mango caught him and threw him out.
"No, mommy."
Although Zion was unwilling, he was still a child. After being thrown to the side by Mango, he thought that he would land safely. However, he had been caught by a net instead
"Mommy!"
Zion struggled but he noticed that this net was connected to electricity. Hence, he immediately passed out from the electric shock.
On the other hand, Mango would never have thought that she would throw his son away in such a situation.
Behind her, her husband was fighting with a fierce tiger. Meanwhile, her son was hit by the electric net, so she was on the verge of a breakdown.
She had never encountered such a situation before. Seeing that Zion was about to pass out, Mango took another look at Nathaniel. Nathaniel was covered in blood while he continued to fight with the tiger, but the smell of blood made the tiger even more excited.
At this time, Nathaniel was still conscious enough as he said, "Save Zion first. I can hold on for a while."
Mango no longer hesitated as she ran in Zion's direction.
At this moment, a pair of mercenaries walked out with guns and aimed directly at Mango.
"Don't move! Or we'll kill him!"
The other party pointed the gun at both Mango and Zion, causing Mango's brows to furrow.
Nathaniel said that there were other forces looking for Desmond. It seemed that he was right after noticing their appearance.
"You must be the subordinate of Sophia's father, right?"
She did not know who Sophia's father was, so she could only ask this.
"Follow us!"
Many of them had come, but they had already suffered a great loss in this Dark Forest. Now that Nathaniel had helped them restrain the tiger, it was the best time for them to flee away. Moreover, Zion was held hostage by them, and they knew that Mango would agree.
Seeing that his son was about to faint, Mango whispered, "Put my son down and I'll go with you guys."
"Stop playing tricks, or we'll shoot Nathaniel." "You guys won't be able to survive even if he's
dead."
Mango wasn't stupid as they were obviously using Nathaniel to hold back the tiger. Otherwise, everyone would be in trouble. If it was just her and the child, Nathaniel's sacrifice would be worth it, however...
A hint of coldness flashed across Mango's eyes at this thought.
She suddenly made a move without a slight hesitation and rushed straight in Zion's direction. She even threw the dagger in her sleeve onto the net where Zion was trapped.
At the same time, Mango shouted angrily, "Nathan, draw the tiger over. Even if the three of us die here today, we will let these people die with us!"
Upon hearing this, Nathaniel decided not to fight with the tiger. He immediately turned around and ran towards Mango.
The mercenaries would never have thought that Mango would use such a suicidal method to resist them. Hence, they were so scared that they quickly turned around and ran.
On the other hand, the tiger was extremely excited to see so many prey present. It roared towards these people, which made everyone tremble with fear.
One of the mercenary sprained his ankle while running, and the next moment, his neck was bitten off by the tiger. Soon, bright red blood splashed all over the ground.
Nathaniel took advantage of this opportunity to grab hold of Mango and pull her into his embrace. Then, he rolled on the ground and came to Zion's rescue.
There was an electric net here!
It meant that there was electricity around.
At this thought, Nathaniel released Mango quickly. Mango had also thought of this point, so she quickly searched for the source of electricity. Just then, Nathaniel took out his pistol and fired against the net.
The moment the net landed on the ground, the switch was found. Then, the two quickly carried Zion out.
Mango's heart ached when he saw Zion's pale face.
She threw the electric net at the mercenaries and turned on the switch.
"Ah!"
Painful screams resounded as several mercenaries were hit and electrocuted. It was no long until they became the tiger's prey.
Meanwhile, Mango and Nathaniel took advantage of this opportunity and ran away with Zion in their arms.
The forest was already foggy, and they couldn't recognize the road or tell which direction they were heading. Then, Nathaniel took out his mobile phone glanced at it, but there was no signal at all.
Along the way, they discovered that the spiders here were all large. Their eyes were red and especially intimidating.
Although Mango was suffering from stomach cramps again, she didn't dare to stop her pace.
Nathaniel protected them and whispered, "We may have entered the center of the Dark Forest."
This was also what Mango was most worried about.
Then, she looked at Zion, who had fainted in her arms, and frowned.
"Can't we find the way out?"
