Deep affection knows no origin; remember the polar bear's love for you.

Chapter 115 There is no law prohibiting bear hunting.

The sights and sounds of the morning had a profound impact on the little bear. As they left, they kept turning back to look at the human town that was gradually disappearing from sight.

I passed through that place I had never seen before, without even having a chance to take a closer look.

Even knowing that danger lurks within, the cubs' innate curiosity cannot be extinguished.

Subconsciously, they were still full of curiosity about that place and eager to go and see it.

This time, Guo Mi did not lead the way, but walked side by side with the little bear.

"Salmon, what was the first thing that came to mind when you saw that human?"

The salmon paused slightly, then said in a hoarse voice:

"Eat him."

She walked forward with her head down, but her tense little ears betrayed her inner nervousness.

Guo Mi's attitude towards humans is unpredictable.

She was said to be wary of humans, yet she still led them to save that dying human.

However, it seems that she doesn't have goodwill towards humans. Rather than teaching them not to harm humans, she seems to be reminding them not to be wary of humans.

The salmon wasn't sure what Guo Mi was thinking until she heard Guo Mi say:

"Humans might think the same way."

At first, the little bear didn't react, but after a second or two, it suddenly stopped.

Guo Mi also stopped and looked down at her.

Fishbone overheard their conversation, stared blankly up at Guo Mi, only to meet her dark gaze, and instinctively took a half step back.

After a while, the salmon's somewhat hoarse voice rang out from the side:
"I understand, Guo Mi. I will stay away from humans from now on."

Having witnessed the "creations of thought" of humankind, she no longer looked down on them and finally understood the meaning of Guo Mi's words that "humans may be more dangerous than their own kind."

If her first thought upon seeing humans is to eat them, what would humans think upon seeing her?

Fishbone was still looking into Guo Mi's eyes when he heard the salmon call him. He quickly lowered his head, his eyes flickered, and he obediently said:
"I can do that too."

Guo Mi was not relieved to receive this answer, as she knew they were still young.

Sometimes, the advice that elders give to younger generations only has a superficial effect. They need to actually encounter setbacks before they realize that some things are impossible.

All she can do now is to make them aware of the crisis as much as possible.

Noticing that the two little ones were both affected to varying degrees, Guo Mi licked their little ears.

Feeling comforted, the little bear nestled close to her, just like when it was a cub, and nuzzled its head against her thick fur.

Guo Mi waited until the somber atmosphere had completely dissipated before continuing her journey.

"Let's go."

The salmon caught up with her in time, while the fishbone sat still for two seconds before falling behind and catching up.

Hearing his footsteps, the salmon asked softly:
"what happened?"

She grew up with Fishbone and knew him best; she could clearly sense that something was off about him just now.

The fishbone trotted up after them, its expression already back to normal. It raised its little paws, hopped forward twice, and overtook the salmon to run ahead.

"I'm fine, salmon."

But when he met Guo Mi's eyes just now, he was momentarily stunned to see what looked like that human's eyes. Although the pupils were different colors and contained completely different emotions, he felt they were very similar, so he was stunned for a moment.

Looking closely at Guo Mi's eyes now, it's clear that the feeling from before is gone.

It's probably just a temporary illusion.

Fishbone shook its head vigorously, shaking off some unrealistic thoughts, and deliberately raised its paws as if hopping to Guo Mi's side.

As expected, Guo Mi was instantly captivated, and then sat contentedly on the spot, tilting her little head up to enjoy Guo Mi's rubbing against her.

He had long noticed that whenever he and the salmon walked in that manner, Guo Mi would immediately stare at them intently.

If you intentionally or unintentionally twitch your ears up and down a couple of times at this moment, Guo Mi's eyes will light up. Then she will pat them with her paws and rub against them!

After several attempts, Fishbone had completely mastered the skill and it always worked perfectly.

Guo Mi was unaware that the little bear had figured out exactly what made her cute, and every time she saw him, she found him adorable and couldn't help but want to stick to him as much as possible.

Considering her own pride and her "cool" bear persona, Guo Mi can pretend to be aloof, raise her paw to rub the little bear, and then lower her head to rub against the little bear's swaying ears a couple of times.

Guo Mi had to admit that she was secretly pleased to be able to rub the polar bear cubs up close!
But she had to try her best to control her emotions and not appear agitated.

The salmon witnessed everything from behind them, its expression complicated. It stood there watching the fishbone enjoy being rubbed against, but in the end, it couldn't resist and, imitating the fishbone, ran towards Guo Mi with its small ears swaying up and down with light steps!
Then, looking a little awkward, Guo Mi pulled him into her arms with a paw, and rubbed his little head against hers twice!

The little guy tried his best to keep a calm expression, but a hint of a contented smile still flashed in his eyes.

Both bear cubs were completely captivated by Guo Mi's fluffy rubbing against them.

……

Since we've ended up near a human town anyway, going back and taking a long detour is impractical.

Guo Mi and the bear cub did their best to hide their tracks, avoiding all areas where humans were active and also avoiding places where other polar bears had left their scent.

Although it was still a long detour, the journey was still much shorter than the original route.

Finally, after three days, they completely passed through the radiation range of the human town.

During this period, Guo Mi heard gunshots more than once and also saw one or two polar bears in the distance.

Indeed, as Bada said, the people and polar bears here have coexisted for a long time.

But Guo Mi was not optimistic about all of this.

If humans are to coexist with bears for an extended period of time, and not through fences, it's probably because humans have the ability to protect themselves.

The prerequisite for meeting these conditions is:
That is, local laws do not protect bears, nor do they restrict bear hunting.

This area is the real high-risk zone for bears.

Humans can fire guns without any scruples.

Although most people only fired their guns in self-defense, Guo Mi decided never to set foot on this land again.

She didn't want to take any chances.

While traveling, I sometimes wondered if the little boy in that photo had waited for his father to come home.

Now that the man has regained consciousness, he will surely try to save himself. Guo Mi sincerely hopes that the child will not lose his father, and she also sincerely hopes that this is the last time she and Xiao Xiong will see that man.

Because if they meet again next time, things might not go so smoothly and safely.

And now she has new worries.

As you pass through the radiation zone of the human town, it's as if you've crossed a dividing line, and the temperature rise becomes particularly noticeable.
