The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (Chapter 31)

"Brother Leopard, are you alright?"

Song Ning was dressed in a set of work clothes scavenged from a labor protection store, looking very much like a working-class person. In reality, he was wrapped up very tightly inside and out, with not a single gap showing his face. If you looked closely, you could even smell the clam oil.

Even upon closer inspection, one could see some rabbit fur on his neck. This was a rabbit skin he had just tanned. Although it wasn't large, it could be used to tuck into the middle of his neck and collar, and rounded up, it could be considered a scarf.

The big cat nimbly and gracefully walked in from outside, then flicked its tail to indicate that it was ready.

Song Ning took a deep breath, grabbed the trolley with her thickly gloved hand, and said with a determined look, "Let's go then."

Let him go and see if the monthly trading fair can bring him any gains.

It was still very cold today, but Song Ning still carried a lunchbox containing coal with her before going out. Her chest area remained warm, and she would occasionally tuck her hands into her clothes to warm them up when they got cold, so it was not too bad.

He kept walking in the direction Han Shuang and the others had indicated, chatting with the big cat beside him every now and then.

"Brother Leopard, do you think we'll gain anything from going there today?"

"I didn't have high hopes. I only brought two pieces of leather and 100 pounds of coal. Actually, I didn't want to bring the coal, but I couldn't go empty-handed, could I? What if there was something good?"

"The main reason is that I want to go and see how everyone else is doing. I want to see for myself so I can have some idea of ​​what's going on."

He kept muttering to himself as he walked, not knowing how long it had been, until finally he saw other people on the road.

This made Song Ning realize immediately that they had left the big cat's territory. This realization made him turn his head to pay attention to the big cat. He saw that the latter's forelimbs were rhythmically stepping on the snow, making only a very slight sound. Its vertical pupils were no longer lazy as usual, but sharp and vigilant as it surveyed its surroundings.

This state of vigilance made Song Ning realize that, outside of the big cat's territory, not only he felt insecure, but the big cat did too.

He paused for a moment, wanting to say something but then realizing it was pointless.

He silently touched the hidden knife and began to be cautious and vigilant.

However, this state did not last long, because as they walked, they saw a familiar figure ahead.

It was Han Shuang. Besides her, there was a group of seven or eight people next to her, all holding weapons and on guard. Two of them were pulling a small cart that was about the same size as hers, covered with tarpaulin so that they couldn't see clearly. The cart was piled high on top.

Song Ning immediately realized that this must be the same person Han Shuang had told him about, who could hire people from the base to escort him.

Considering that Han Shuang had borrowed his cart earlier, it's not hard to guess that Han Shuang must have been lucky enough to find some supplies that hadn't been looted. After borrowing his cart to transport everything away, he couldn't wait to hire the base's escort team to come and trade it out today.

"Brother Song, you're here too."

Not only did he see Han Shuang, but Han Shuang had also noticed them long ago.

After all, in a snow-covered, icy landscape, it's really hard to ignore a black panther, unless one is physically blind.

Following the sound, Song Ning carefully examined Han Shuang and noticed that the outermost layer of clothing on her body looked quite similar to tarpaulin. It looked like a piece of clothing made from a large piece of tarpaulin, which looked a bit strange.

The lace-up boots on her feet also looked to be made of the same material, but judging from Han Shuang's expression, she didn't seem to mind at all; on the contrary, she seemed to find them quite comfortable.

He quickened his pace, getting closer to Han Shuang and the others but maintaining a certain distance.

"Hello, Ms. Han, it's nice to see you again."

As they approached, the expressions of the vigilant escort team clearly changed.

Several people even instinctively pointed their weapons at the big cat, clearly wary of its presence.

Han Shuang laughed and said, "Brother Song, you are such a discerning person. Just call me by my name, Han Shuang. Calling me Miss Han sounds too formal."

She waved her hand and explained to the escort team beside her, "This is Brother Song. He kindly lent me his trolley before, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to transport these supplies back. He's a very kind and helpful person."

She didn't mention that the stroller was rented, and Song Ning wouldn't expose her at this point.

Han Shuang spoke up again, "And the guy next to Brother Song, we all call him Leopard. Leopard's territory is in the direction Brother Song came from. You can try to go there less often in the future, that's his territory."

Her words helped to ease the tension for both sides. The base already knew about Black Panther's existence, and the escort team naturally knew as well.

However, with Han Shuang's introduction, firstly, the existence of the black panther was confirmed, and secondly, it was proven that since the black panther could get along peacefully with Song Ning, it proved that the black panther was intelligent and not just a ferocious beast.

Thirdly, it also served as a reminder to the people at the base that if they accidentally trespassed on Black Panther's territory and a conflict broke out, that would be something no one wanted to see.

On the escort team's side, the leader, a sassy woman with a scar who looked to be around forty years old, lowered her weapon and laughed heartily.

"So this is Leopard, he is indeed very imposing. Since he is with Brother Song, let's go together. We've just run into each other."

"I'm the captain of the escort team. I'm probably older than all of you. Just call me Sister Man. That's what everyone calls me."

Song Ning didn't immediately refuse Sister Man's invitation. He just asked curiously, "Hello Sister Man, but I heard from Han Shuang that your escort team charges a fee. If I join the team, wouldn't I be taking advantage of Han Shuang?"

Han Shuang felt a little better after hearing him say that. Sister Man's invitation was also reasonable, since the base would have patrol teams to protect people going to trade.

But the fact that Song Ning said that proved that Song Ning didn't really intend to take advantage of the fact that she had spent money to invite Sister Man and the others, which made Han Shuang's goodwill towards Song Ning increase even more.

Sister Man understood, and she chuckled, her left eyebrow protruding as if it were about to take flight, her voice rising in a high-pitched voice.

“That’s someone else. As for you, we can’t really say who’s benefiting. You’re with Leopard, after all.”

Without firearms, who among these people could defeat a black panther? Especially a black panther that looks like an adult with smooth fur—that's the real weapon of mass destruction!
