The Sweet Rival (Mango Shen and Nathaniel Ye)
Chapter 1485

"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?"

"Perhaps we have to wait for the fog to dissipate. The compass isn't very useful right now."

Nathaniel was also a little annoyed at their current situation.

He never thought that the forest would be so dangerous, and he never expected those mercenaries to appear here.

Why were they trying to kidnap Zion and Mango just now?

Who was Sophia's father?

Nathaniel really couldn't figure it out.

Soon, more wild beasts were coming after them.

Now, they were like pieces of meat as they attracted the carnivores' attention.

Mango held Nathaniel's hand tightly and suddenly said with a smile, "If our family were to die here today, would you blame me?"

"What a silly girl! Why would I do that?"

Nathaniel was no longer worried.

He would be worried if one of their family members died here. However, he felt at ease now that his wife and children were all by his side.

"I'm the one who insisted on coming here, and I even brought Zion here. I'm sorry for what I've done."

"Zion won't blame you. In fact, the thing he wants to do most is to protect his mother and his sister."

Nathaniel said this as he knew what Zion was thinking.

Soon, Zion finally woke up. After hearing Nathaniel's words, he couldn't help but say, "Mommy, we'll definitely leave this place safely. God won't be so cruel to us."

"When did you learn to be superstitious? A man must muster up his courage and ability to protect his loved ones. It's a little whimsical to rely on God."

Seeing that Nathaniel was giving Zion a lesson, Mango couldn't help but smile, "Nathaniel, that's enough. Zion is good enough."

"Well, I didn't say that what he did was wrong. My son is amazing, okay?"

Hah! He was even praising himself now!

Finally, they felt calm and relaxed as Zion rested by Mango's side. However, many animals were roaming around, which caused Mango to be anxious.

Nathaniel protected them from behind and said seriously, "Later, we'll divide the work and cooperate with each other. Zion will take care of the back. As for the rest, leave it to me."

"All right."

They quickly agreed, and their expressions became serious.

after all, this was going to be a fierce battle.

Meanwhile, Mango felt a little sick, and her stomach was feeling uncomfortable. However, she couldn't take care of the child in her belly. She only hoped that Nathaniel and Zion would be safe and sound. The three of them struggled as hard as they could.

In fact, Zion was all prepared, and he took out a small bottle from his pocket and threw it towards the animals. Then, he shouted at Mango and Nathaniel, "Mr. Ye, Mummy, hold your breath and close your eyes."

Although they didn't know what he was doing, both of them quickly did what Zion had told them to.

Then, their surroundings quickly become blurry.

Zion held them hurriedly and ran away, "Run!"

Nathaniel and Mango had no time to ask what was going on. After running for a while, they found that the animals were not following them from behind. Thus, they stopped and rested, while breathing heavily. "My dear wife, are you alright? Are you having a stomachache?"

Nathaniel immediately checked up on Mango's condition.

Although Mango felt a little pain in her stomach, she could still endure it. Moreover, she did not feel any discomfort, so she quickly shook her head.

After that, Nathaniel took off his jacket and threw it onto the ground. Then, Mango sat down and gasped for air.

On the other hand, Zion couldn't even catch his breath.

It was the first time that he had encounter such danger.

Nathaniel was no better than him. Hee was still injured, and his clothes were soaked with blood, so he was in a terrible condition now.

"What did you scatter just now?"

Nathaniel asked while gasping.

Zion looked around and said in a low voice, "Wisdom gave me some soporiferous powder before I left. I added a little bit of chilli powder in it. Although those animals are mutated and the powder doesn't necessarily work, the chilli powder should work just as well. Based on the direction where the wind blew, that chilli powder is more than enough for them to pass out."

Mango and Nathaniel were stunned when they heard those words, and Mango immediately gave a thumbs up.

"My son is really amazing. You're indeed a genius! Why didn't we think of this?"

Nathaniel chuckled after hearing what she said.

In fact, a child's ability to think and improvise could really surpass their expectations.

"However, this isn't a long term solution. We need to leave this place as soon as possible. I wonder how Priscilla and the others are coping right now. Alas! They will be extremely worried if anything happens to

us."

Nathaniel said while covering his wound in pain.

Meanwhile, Mango looked at his wound and her heart ached.

"I can't find a way out now, so let me treat your wound first."

Mango was about to stand up when Nathaniel stopped her.

"I'm fine and I won't die. In fact, you should take a rest."

"Let me do it."

Zion took out a small bottle of iodophor from his pocket. Upon seeing this, Nathaniel was greatly impressed.

"You actually brought these things with you?"

"Wisdom asked me to bring them along."

Zion spoke proudly. Just then, he noticed that there was a voice from a distance heading in their direction.
