Chapter 519: Rescuing the Little Lion
Li was quite pleased when he saw Kaka run into the passageway!
But just after a few seconds, it ran back out again.
Feeling a bit frustrated, he asked over the walkie-talkie, "What’s going on? Why did it run back out?"
Xin replied helplessly, "It’s tough for me to handle alone! I need an assistant to do this, I’ll call Meng Shi and the others right now!"
Li said, "Okay, I just called the director! The director said he will come over in a moment."
Didi was still "ah-ow! ah-ow!" incessantly, its calls becoming hoarse!
Mom, I’m hung up on a tree!
Dad, come save me! help me!
The visitors outside were both anxious and heartbroken: "The little lion’s cries are so pitiful! It’s shouting itself hoarse."
"Being trapped like that, it must be very painful."
"Quick, someone save it! Don’t let it get strangled."
"The big lions aren’t going back, the animal keepers can’t rescue it!"
"It’s very dangerous! In the wild, it would be gone by now."
Some visitors weren’t worried at all though!
Hearing Li say that the director was called over, they believed rescuing a little lion would be a piece of cake for the director.
"Despite it being pitiful, it’s kind of funny!"
"Hahaha! No worries, the rescue team will arrive soon."
"I’m really curious about how it got stuck up there!"
"It must have been playing and got mischievous; this reminds me of those mischievous kids you see on the news, with their heads stuck in railings, pot lids, spittoons, washing machines — really, they can get stuck anywhere."
As the visitors discussed, a loudspeaker on the Lion Bridge announced, "Dear visitors, due to an unexpected situation, a little lion in our park has become trapped. Our zoo staff are working hard to rescue it! Please come down from the Lion Bridge and do not make loud noises, so as to minimize their stress."
The intelligent monitoring center had also noticed the situation at the lion exhibit and communicated with Li over the phone.
The visitors on the Sky Bridge heeded the announcement and cooperatively made their way down.
The other fluffy little lions, hearing Didi’s cries, all ran over!
Bubu poked its head out, somewhat puzzled as to why its little friend was wailing so miserably; why stay inside and not come out?
Baba ran behind Didi and gave its butt a couple of pushes with its paws!
It was trying to help its friend break free.
But this push seemed to hurt Didi.
It then turned its head and glared, "ah-ow" howling fiercely.
Meimei was startled! Her body instinctively shrank back.
The few little lions, unsure of how to handle Didi’s predicament, saw Baba leave. Following suit, the other little lions scampered after Baba’s tail, and even Zhazha looked back at Didi.
Baba ran up to the corridor for visitors!
Xin was waiting for the big lions to come in, but unexpectedly, several little lions ran over.
It didn’t really matter whether these little ones came in or not.
"Ah-ow!"
Baba called out to Xin and then stood up, clinging to the railing.
The little lions looked at Xin with bright, shining eyes!
Xin, preoccupied with the current situation, waved them away. Baba called out "ah-ow" again, and seeing no response from Xin, ran out with its friends.
After a while, Qiuqiu also came by, peeking around at the entrance to the visiting corridor.
Xin said excitedly, "Qiuqiu! Hurry in, there’s meat for you!"
Qiuqiu sniffed but seemed uninterested and ran off again.
Xin suddenly realized, could Qiuqiu have come over seeking help from the animal keeper?
Did the little lions run over just now to ask for his help, wanting to show him their sibling’s plight?
Moved by their camaraderie but also feeling helpless, he couldn’t dare to go in directly without the big lions returning!
The male lion usually just sleeps when he’s idle!
But now, he’s walking nonstop inside the exhibition area, and even when he lies down, he doesn’t sleep.
With eyes wide open, he patrols the activity field.
Qiuqiu and Yueyue also come over from time to time to check on the little lion.
It’s not that they don’t want to help the little lion; they’re actually quite anxious, but they don’t know what to do.
After a while, Kaka came to the doorway again.
This time, Xin changed her strategy. While luring with meat, she tried to communicate in a soft voice, "Kaka, if you want to save the little lion, you have to go back! If you return to the back pen, we’ll help rescue your child, okay?"
Kaka looked at Xin, uncertain if he understood anything!
He let out a low growl and then slowly started to walk inside.
Xin suppressed the excitement in her heart. Seeing Kaka follow the passage back into the cage, she quickly pulled the door shut!
She said into the walkie-talkie, "One has come in!"
Li: "Okay, received!"
...
More and more visitors were gathering outside the lion exhibit!
They clustered in front of the glass curtain wall to watch the excitement, drawing even more onlookers.
At that moment, Fang Ye also arrived at the lion exhibit and entered the activity field from the back pen.
Seeing the figure in the familiar zoo director’s outfit, the visitors immediately became excited!
"He’s here, he’s here! The zoo director has come!"
"Now that the director is here, the little lion will be safe!"
"Director, quickly use your Archdruid’s invincible cat-petting skill!"
Before they could finish being happy, they saw a lion sprinting from the distant grassland.
It was extremely fast and aggressive.
It opened its huge mouth and bit at Fang Ye!
Witnessing this, some visitors unconsciously shouted "Holy shit," some took a sharp breath, and some of the more timid ones even covered their eyes, screaming, too afraid to watch!
"Ahh, the lion is biting someone!"
"It’s over, the lion must have been triggered by the little lion’s cries; it doesn’t recognize the director anymore!"
"Quick, quick...call the police! Call an ambulance!"
"Wait, it looks like the director is alright!"
The lion that came rushing over was Yueyue!
Upon seeing Fang Ye, she was extremely excited because she knew that the zoo director could definitely help the little lion.
Although she appeared fierce, she just bit onto Fang Ye’s pants, trying to drag him over.
Fang Ye bent down, patted Yueyue on the head, and comforted her softly, "It’s okay, it’s okay, let go, I’m going over now!"
The little lions also came running over, with the mischievous Baba even jumping up to hug Fang Ye’s leg, only to be picked up by the scruff of his neck by Fang Ye and set back down.
Dropped to the ground, he happily ran back and forth!
Qiqi, in the grass, looked up at Fang Ye and roared loudly!
Qiuqiu also trotted over afterward, leading the way in front.
The visitors watched as Fang Ye was surrounded by a group of adult and baby lions, walking toward the tree where the little lion was stuck, their mouths agape, feeling like they were watching a Disney cartoon!
"Holy crap, the director is really something!"
"Only the director could earn such trust from the lions!" Enjoy new tales from Freewebnovel
"I thought the lion was about to bite the director just a moment ago...scared me to death..."
"Haha, how could the Archdruid be attacked by lions."
"Buddy, weren’t you just about to call for an ambulance?"
What do you think?
