Chapter 199: A Class 1 Protected Waste Yangtze Alligator
Probably not wanting to hear Jiang Yuan’s answer, Crocodile Fengfeng’s four short claws paddled rapidly, heading towards the nearby pool.
Jiang Yuan met several curious gazes, pressed her lips together, and said slowly, “Fengfeng told me that those crocodiles have wanted to escape for a long time.”
“Why is that?” Director Qu frowned in confusion. “They eat well, drink well, and sleep well in the zoo, why would they escape?”
Jiang Yuan explained, “It’s because of Fengfeng. Fengfeng said she is the most beautiful crocodile princess and demanded that all male crocodiles in the crocodile house be her boyfriend. The male crocodiles disagreed with her statement and also disagreed to be her boyfriend, so that’s why the crocodiles escaped this time.”
Wei Fangfei looked shocked and murmured, “My language and cognition are being tested.”
“Indeed,” Assistant Xu agreed, nodding. “Such an obscure sentence.”
The crocodile zookeeper nearby murmured, “Now that you mention it, that’s true. The five crocodiles that stayed are all females.”
Jiang Yuan: “Fengfeng also said that those male crocodiles are going to search for a truly beautiful crocodile princess.”
Wei Fangfei: “…”
Director Qu: “…”
Assistant Xu: “…”
It was truly unbelievable.
Jiang Yuan said softly, “Let’s go find those escaped crocodiles first.”
“Okay,” Director Qu nodded forcefully. “I’ll contact the police now.”
“Later,” Jiang Yuan said lightly, an idea already forming in her mind. “I’ll try my method first.”
Director Qu frowned, seemingly not agreeing. “It’s better to cooperate with the police…”
“Old Qu,” Wei Fangfei interrupted her, “Listen to Jiang Yuan first.”
Director Qu opened her mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
Jiang Yuan got to know a few small birds near the zoo and, as compensation, asked them to call their friends to help find the escaped crocodiles.
At first, there were only a few small birds, but as chirping sounds echoed, in the blink of an eye, the number of small birds increased to dozens, as if by magic, and soon hundreds of small birds gathered.
In an instant, a massive flock of birds swirled in the sky, blocking out the sun, a magnificent sight.
Director Qu witnessed Jiang Yuan’s ability with her own eyes, and her eyes showed deep shock.
Jiang Yuan asked the small birds to remember the crocodiles’ appearances and instructed them to inform her immediately if they saw any trace of a crocodile.
For some reason, Director Qu’s restless and anxious heart suddenly settled a little.
She had a premonition that the crocodiles would be found soon.
“Director Qu, look at this!” a young man wearing black-rimmed glasses ran over with his mobile phone. “A crocodile escaped into a nearby convenience store. The shop owner is hiding in a small storage room. People outside discovered it and closed the convenience store door. They are live-streaming now and said they’ve already called the police.”
Jiang Yuan also glimpsed the scene in the live stream and said solemnly, “Tell me the detailed address of the convenience store.”
Assistant Liu looked at her, not understanding.
Director Qu urged, “Xiao Liu, quickly give the address to Consultant Jiang!”
“Consultant Jiang!” Assistant Liu finally reacted and quickly gave the address.
Jiang Yuan entered the convenience store’s address into the navigation on her phone and looked up at Wei Fangfei, “Sister Fangfei, may I borrow your car?”
“Let’s go together,” Wei Fangfei said, putting her arm around her and striding towards the parking lot.
Assistant Xu quickly followed behind the two, and Director Qu, seeing this, also hurried to catch up. “Xiao Liu, keep up.”
The business van had just enough seats, so Assistant Xu and Assistant Liu sat in the last row.
The convenience store was six kilometers from the wildlife park. Jiang Yuan borrowed Assistant Liu’s phone to check the live stream.
The Yangtze alligator rampaged inside the convenience store, knocking down products from the shelves. Many products crashed onto the alligator, causing it to mistake itself for being attacked. Its emotions completely went out of control as it twisted its body madly, emitting low growls of “gegege” with its mouth open.
The shop owner sent out bullet comments in despair on the live stream:
【 Someone save me! 】
【 Wuwuwu, am I going to be eaten? 】
【 Why aren’t the police and firefighters here yet? I’m really going crazy… 】
Other viewers sent out “hahaha” bullet comments.
【 Hahahaha, don’t be scared, this is a Yangtze alligator, it doesn’t eat people~ 】
【 Yangtze alligators are Grade 1 protected waste, very cute! 】
【 Boss, don’t panic. Yangtze alligators are very gentle and cute. If you dare to walk out, it definitely can’t beat you. Its combat power is comparable to a goose 】
【 Hahahaha, the Yangtze alligator is probably more scared than the boss right now~~~ 】
Jiang Yuan’s gaze swept across the bullet comments, her slender eyebrows furrowing tightly.
Why would someone provide such information about crocodiles?
Compared to other crocodiles, the Yangtze alligator is relatively small and indeed does not eat people, but that does not mean it cannot injure people.
She recalled a case where someone fell into a pool and was bitten by a Yangtze alligator, losing four limbs and bleeding to death from excessive blood loss. There was still a certain degree of danger.
Jiang Yuan contemplated for a few seconds, returned the phone to Assistant Liu, and posted a new work on her own Douyin.
She used a picture of a Yangtze alligator with a caption: 【 Linjin Wildlife Park still has twelve Yangtze alligators that have not been found. Please maintain a safe distance if you see a Yangtze alligator and contact the local police. After all, Yangtze alligators are wild crocodiles, do not approach them with any lucky mentality! 】
After she posted on Douyin, the car also stopped.
A crowd of people had gathered outside the convenience store, and a man in a checkered shirt was teasing the Yangtze alligator through the glass door.
“I heard your squeal sounds like a pig, let me hear it!”
The Yangtze alligator was very angry, glaring at the other party with gritted teeth.
“C’mon, why aren’t you squealing?” the shirt man urged with a smirk.
The Yangtze alligator aggressively rammed the glass door.
Seeing this, the shirt man slapped his thighs and bent over laughing, “You’re so stupid! How could you guys survive from the dinosaur era to now?”
“Is it very funny?” a clear and cold voice said indifferently.
“Of course it’s funny!” the shirt man replied.
Jiang Yuan said coldly, “Ignorant.”
“Who are you calling that?” the shirt man was instantly displeased and looked up, “Oh, you’re a beauty.”
Jiang Yuan gave him a displeased glance, “Don’t block the way, move aside.”
“Why should I move aside just because you say so?” the shirt man was unwilling. “I occupied this spot first.”
Jiang Yuan: “…”
She was truly speechless.
Assistant Liu stepped forward to explain, “Sir, this is the animal consultant hired by Linjin Zoo to help find the Yangtze alligators. Please cooperate with our work.”
“Animal consultant?” the shirt man sized up Jiang Yuan, a mocking expression on his face. “Who are you trying to fool, her? Don’t be so shameless trying to gain popularity.”
Assistant Liu frowned and was about to say something when Assistant Xu walked over, directly showed his identification, and said with a decisive tone, “Police business, who are you calling shameless? Apologize!”
The shirt man glanced at Assistant Xu’s identification, did not apologize, but simply moved to the side.
