Inside the No. 15 Middle School, it had been over half an hour since two Bengal tigers had entered the campus.
As time ticked by, panic continued to spread. If this continued, it wouldn't be long before the students broke down first.
Even if they weren't physically injured, the psychological trauma would be irreparable. From then on, they would tremble with fear at the sight of not just a tiger, but even a cat.
Meanwhile, the parents of the students at No. 15 Middle School were also on the brink of collapse.
Influenced by their distress, the online public opinion was overwhelmingly negative.
"What's going on? It's been so long, and they still can't deal with two tigers?"
"It's been over half an hour. Those are all children inside, they must feel so helpless now."
"Didn't they form some action group? If nothing else works, just go in with guns and shoot the tigers. No matter how precious tigers are, can they be more important than children?"
"Exactly, is there any creature that can withstand firearms now?"
"If it really doesn't work, give me a gun, and I'll go in and deal with the two tigers right now."
"We hope that the action group can give us an explanation. Why not take immediate action? Every second that passes could potentially bring danger."
...
Seeing the public opinion heading in a bad direction, the command center immediately connected with Ningnan City TV station and initiated a live broadcast.
The live broadcast showed half the command center and half the surveillance footage from inside the No. 15 Middle School.
The commander on-site also stood in front of the live camera immediately.
"Citizens, netizens, we have seen all the suggestions you have put forward."
"But I have to tell you, it's not that we don't want to take immediate action."
"We have fully considered the situation inside the campus. The two Bengal tigers are extremely alert and intelligent."
"If we provoke them, they might charge into the classrooms. This is a scenario none of us want to see."
"Moreover, Captain Lin from the Criminal Police Brigade and Director Yang from West Rainbow Zoo have come up with a new rescue plan. We believe it won't be long before the two Bengal tigers are subdued."
As his words were broadcasted live, the agitated netizens finally calmed down a bit.
But some netizens still expressed their confusion.
"If they can't be subdued with force, what other methods are there?"
"Does Director Yang have some kind of method? It's not possible for him to go in and negotiate with the two tigers, is it?"
"Although I admit that Director Yang has trained the animals in West Rainbow Zoo very well, these two Bengal tigers don't know him. How could they possibly respect him?"
"So, apart from these, are there any other better methods?"
"Let's wait and see. I have a feeling that Director Yang will give us a big surprise."
As everyone waited, another ten minutes passed.
As the school campus within the surveillance feed remained eerily quiet, a wave of anxiety and restlessness washed over everyone once again until the roar of a vehicle echoed from the road outside the school.
Under the surveillance camera, a large truck covered with a tarpaulin slowly drove into the campus.
Seeing this truck, both the audience in the live broadcast room and the leaders in the command room were filled with confusion.
"Where did this truck come from? Get it out of here quickly."
"Move it now, or else we might anger the two Bengal tigers inside."
"Where are the on-site commanders? Who let this truck in?"
Hearing the roar in the command room, a policeman on the scene finally said weakly:
"The one who drove the truck just now was Captain Lin Feng, so we let it in."
Hearing this officer's response, everyone in the command room was taken aback.
They simply couldn't understand why Lin Feng would suddenly drive a truck into the school.
Just as everyone was filled with doubt, the tarpaulin covering the truck was forcefully pulled down by a pair of large hands.
As the tarpaulin fell, a gigantic figure gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.
Time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Following their gaze, they saw a massive figure, full of majestic stripes, standing in the truck's cargo area.
The creature had a shoulder height of over two meters, a body length of nearly five meters, limbs like pillars, and a face the size of a grinding wheel. It was clearly a giant tiger, even larger than the two Bengal tigers.
As this giant tiger appeared, the atmosphere on the scene instantly froze.
Everyone had guessed countless possibilities before the tarpaulin was lifted, but this was not one of them.
Just as everyone was at a loss for words, the terrifying giant tiger on the truck suddenly opened its mouth to the sky.
The next second, a roar that sounded like thunder echoed throughout Ningnan City.
Even citizens who were more than ten kilometers away could clearly hear this roar.
Those who heard it up close even felt a ringing in their ears.
It took more than a minute for everyone to finally come back to their senses.
"Isn't this the Tiger Queen, Big Sister Hua, from West Rainbow Zoo? How did she get here?"
"My God, is this the power of Big Sister Hua? I almost peed my pants."
"Compared to Big Sister Hua, those two Bengal tigers are like kittens."
"Can they even be compared? Big Sister Hua is a genuine Siberian tiger, also known as a Northeast tiger, which is much larger than a Bengal tiger, let alone one raised in the West Rainbow Zoo."
"Indeed, the Bengal tiger is like a younger brother in front of the Northeast tiger, and in front of Big Sister Hua, it's like a grandchild."
"This is going to be a good show, two foreign tigers against one of our country's Northeast tigers."
"Only Director Yang could think of this solution, using Big Sister Hua to deal with those two Bengal tigers."
"Come out and get beaten!"
At this moment, everyone's hearts were filled with anticipation, but some were also worried. If Big Sister Hua also lost control, wouldn't it be a disaster?
Just as everyone's thoughts varied, the back door of the truck was opened by Yang Lin.
The next second, Big Sister Hua, with her massive body weighing over a ton, jumped straight to the ground.
Despite being separated by a screen, everyone seemed to have the illusion of an earth-shaking tremor.
Meanwhile, two figures slowly emerged from the shadows of the teaching building.
Their vibrant fur, robust physique, and the "king" character on their heads identified them as the two Bengal tigers that previously broke into the campus.
With the appearance of the two Bengal tigers, everyone seems to have already anticipated an inevitable fierce battle.
However, what happened next was completely beyond their expectations.
uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
