Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

As everyone watched the family of three on the screen, imagining the bright future ahead, they couldn't help but laugh, "Hehehe..."

On the other side, Tiger Mom saw that the drone was hovering in the air and had not moved for a long time. She did not feel any danger, so she continued to move forward with the two little ones!

However, they also deliberately went into densely wooded areas in an attempt to shake off the drones in the air!

Unfortunately, Xu Damao had finally found them, so how could he let them escape so easily? He kept the drone following them from a distance!

The tiger mom managed to shake off the drone only after she led her two cubs into a cave!

The drone hovered over the woods where Tiger Mom and her friends disappeared until it ran out of battery before leaving!

Xu Damao looked at the last footage transmitted back by the drone, his face grave. "Captain Yi, they didn't escape, did they?"

Yi Zhonghai thought for a moment, then shook his head. "Probably not!"

"The drone just scanned this area with a thermal imager, but it didn't find them!"

"I reckon there's probably a tree hollow or cave here, and the mother tiger is resting inside with her two cubs!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Damao's eyes lit up. "You mean, their hideout is in this area?"

"I think so!" Yi Zhonghai nodded.

"Great!" Xu Damao clapped his hands. "If that's the case, then they shouldn't be able to leave anytime soon!"

"A tiger typically needs three to four hours of rest during a single session!"

"Let's take advantage of this time to catch up, find a good spot, and observe them up close!"

The more Yi Zhonghai listened, the brighter his smile became. "Researcher Xu, you're right. We should take this opportunity to catch up!"

He looked at the others and shouted, "Pack your things, let's go!"

Everyone remained silent and quickly packed up their things!

Before long, the group set off again!

Four hours later!

The tiger mom poked her head out of the den, looked up at the sky, and breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see any drones!

She thought the thing had left, so she called the two little ones to follow her on her continued patrol!

Meanwhile, on a nearby hilltop, Xu Damao and Yi Zhonghai, along with their men, lay prone in the snow, using binoculars to observe Tiger Mom and her group's every move!

"They're so beautiful!" Xu Damao exclaimed sincerely as he looked at the two lively and energetic little ones.

"It's really beautiful!" Yi Zhonghai nodded in agreement. "It's practically a carbon copy of a guaranteed job!"

"These two little guys will definitely be big shots when they grow up!"

Suddenly, Yi Zhonghai changed the subject, "Sigh, I just hope they don't follow the example of those with guaranteed employment and build their territories on the very edge of human-inhabited areas!"

"Otherwise, our workload will increase again!"

"Hahaha..." Xu Damao immediately covered his mouth and laughed!

He also knew that when Wang Yuyu patrolled the areas with human activity, he always liked to wander into the villages!

Each time, it would startle the villagers and keep the police and forest rangers extremely busy cleaning up after Wang Yuyu!

"Captain Yi, don't worry, it won't be too late!"

Xu Damao patted Yi Zhonghai on the shoulder, looking smug!

Yi Zhonghai glanced at him and said irritably, "If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all. You'll just get beaten up if you do!"

Xu Damao's face stiffened, and he opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word!

"Hehehehe..." The other team members immediately covered their mouths and laughed out loud!

"Alright, stop laughing, hurry up and observe!" Yi Zhonghai glanced at the others, and they all turned their heads away, not daring to meet his gaze!

Xu Damao, now with a way out, quickly raised his binoculars and looked at the three tigers walking in the snow forest!

Yi Zhonghai also raised his binoculars to observe!

A moment later, Xu Damao said seriously, "Captain Yi, judging by this pace, these two little guys will probably be bigger than their mother tiger by summer!"

"Well, this tigress weighs less than 200 kilograms, just average. It's really asking too much of her to raise two half-hulled animals!" Yi Zhonghai nodded with a smile!

"Half-trailer? What does that mean?" Xu Damao asked, puzzled, having never heard of these internet slang terms.

The young researcher next to him excitedly interjected, "Captain, I know!"

"The 'semi-trailer' here refers to those animals raised like pigs by their owners. Compared to their frail mothers, aren't they just like a semi-trailer truck?"

"You've probably seen those piglets online, all round and chubby. Their mothers standing in front of them would seem like a perfect match!"

A scene immediately flashed through Xu Damao's mind, and he felt a chill run down his spine; it was truly terrifying!

He shook his head vigorously. "I understand, you don't need to say anything more!"

Yi Zhonghai smiled, looked at the tiger mom and her two cubs, and said, "In the future, this family of three will be just like the pig—their size and status will be mismatched!"

"Hahaha..." Xu Damao immediately laughed!

"Captain Yi, if what you're saying is true, it seems we have no choice but to take action!"

"Those three tigers have a huge appetite; this area probably can't support the mother and her three children!"

"It might work if we were deeper in the mountains, but not here!"

"If my wife and kids aren't getting enough to eat, my secure job is definitely going to go crazy!"

One of the team members, puzzled, asked, "Researcher Xu, this doesn't make sense. Shouldn't it be the tigress going crazy? How can it be a secure job?"

"Are you sure you didn't say something wrong?"

Xu Damao looked at Yi Zhonghai; the person who had just spoken was one of Yi Zhonghai's subordinates!

With a stern face, Yi Zhonghai looked up and slapped the other person on the back, making the other person wince in pain!

"How could Researcher Xu be wrong? You're just too stupid; you can't even understand such a simple principle!"

"Tell me, is there any land around here available for this family of three to expand?"

The man thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No, this area has already been divided up!"

"The outermost edge is the territory of the 'iron rice bowl' (a nickname for a tiger), and around that territory are two female tigers, one male tiger, and the brown bear we encountered when we arrived!"

"Both tigresses are tigresses with secure jobs, and their territories have been taken over by other predators!"

"That's right!" Yi Zhonghai nodded, very satisfied with his subordinate's good memory!

This is the foundation upon which these forest rangers rely to venture into the mountains and forests!

If you don't even know the territory of these wild beasts in the mountains, you'll die without even knowing how!

"This family of three is struggling to get enough to eat. Do you think the father, who has a secure job, will step in?"

"If he were to make a move, whose territory would he seize?"

Xu Damao chimed in, "He'll definitely step in if he has a secure job; he helped him take over his mistress's territory!"

"Without him, his concubine certainly wouldn't have been able to defend her territory from the wolves!"

"Now that his wife and kids aren't getting enough to eat, he has to find a way!"

"There are only three targets around his current territory that he can target!"

"Either we take over that male tiger's territory, or we fight that brown bear!"

"Finally, left with no other choice, I had to take action against myself!"
