The invasions were relentless, driving the tribe to the brink of collapse.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZAHSEw4LMS
Survival of the fittest——cruel, but enduring.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3LQayUsNp
And yet, from the ruins, they rose again, rebuilding the will to live.

In a small cave, the few remaining pigs were packed tightly together.
After relentless attacks, casualties had steadily mounted.
The exhausted herd had no room to breathe, let alone recover.
The air reeked of blood and damp earth, and even their breathing felt heavy.
In one corner, a large pig was pressing down hard on another pig’s hind leg with his front hoof—
But upon closer look, there was… nothing left there at all.

“...Honey...”175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO79Z7ZSrhV
He spoke softly, his voice barely audible.
“If I die… please eat me.”
The foreleg pressing against his wound trembled—175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9pTIs7yVAD
perhaps from the strain,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlKauqcpBM
or perhaps the weight of those words.
“What are you saying… You’ll be okay. You have to make it through!”
The wounded pig let out a faint smile, gasped a few breaths,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBjIhiKStNS
and reached out with his other thick hoof.
Slowly, he touched his wife’s snout—175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCPXLtcFaJG
leaving behind a warm, red streak.
“You know this kind of wound… won’t heal.”
“Rather than be eaten by them,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUheMDPmfC
I’d rather you live.”
Then, lifting his head, he shouted toward the center of the cave:
“If we must die,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKrF6Zp3vK
then let us nourish our own,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVo8OmG4ZM
not feed our enemies!”
Silence fell.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiEFfGSLtw6
Every breath in the cave stilled.
A few seconds later, another pig spoke up:175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUcgBo3o9jj
“Me too!”
Then a third:175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOizhQelDE0
“And me!”

After days of starvation, they finally had something to eat.175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjPsmTfyVr
It should have been a joyful moment.
But for some reason, tears began to fall,175Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaPqO1a6ea
soaking their fur, turning even the taste bitter.

A slightly smaller pig gripped a stick between its front hooves, trying to lift it.
Clack——
The stick fell.
He didn’t make a sound, just bent down to pick it up again.
This time, he squeezed harder— even lifted one hoof slightly.
Thud——
It dropped again.
He stared at the stick for a few seconds, his nose twitching.
I can’t rely on the warriors alone…
He picked the stick up once more, moving even more slowly this time. His front hooves trembled from the tension.
As long as I have a weapon…
Maybe… I can protect myself too.
