I have a wildlife zoo-Chapter 689 - 688: The Drill Ends

Ice Cake, soothed by Jiaojiao's gentle comfort, felt less frightened.

But a more complex emotion welled up inside.

"Mama has been comforting and protecting me since I was little, and now that I'm a big tiger, I must protect Mama when danger comes!"

He took a step forward and bravely continued to watch what unfolded.

Jiaojiao glanced at Ice Cake and felt it seemed a little different!

From the van, Lin Ying burst into laughter upon seeing Nie staggering away and then collapsing, "Hehe, quite the acting skills!"

After firing the tranquilizer dart and to prevent any retaliation from the lion, the window was promptly closed.

She reported through the walkie-talkie, "The lion has been tranquillized smoothly! Monitoring the situation, over!"

After waiting patiently for a few minutes, she drove the van next to the "lion," the window slowly rolled down partway, and a long stick was extended to gently poke it.

Checking for any signs of consciousness, making sure it was truly unconscious to prevent any counter-attack!

After a few pokes, the "lion" only covered its rear with a paw when jabbed there, otherwise it remained motionless.

"The lion has lost consciousness! Over!"

Zoo Director Fang replied, "Good, thank you for your hard work!"

Once it was confirmed that the animal was tranquillized, the van door opened, and several veterinarians got out.

Meng Shi and others ran over, clumsily helping to lift the "lion" onto the stretcher and into the van.

Next was to bring it back to the lion exhibit's back facility for emergency treatment.

The tourists watched with great interest!

"Haha, that lion went down too easily, right? It should have at least run for another two hundred meters, it gave up after just a few steps."

"I think the performance was pretty good already, isn't it better than those young idols? Especially that soulful roar, it hurt just to listen."

"Too funny, this trip was totally worth it!"

"Look at the tiger behind, its expression is so funny!"

"Ice Cake looks totally stunned."

"Jiaojiao seems a bit disappointed, like there's no more show to watch."

"Jiaojiao's thinking, 'These foolish humans, I'm speechless with you all!' "

"Actually, it's quite necessary to have such a drill, did you see the news a few days ago about the tourist who got out of their car to provoke the tigers?"

"I know, weren't they criminally detained? The quality was really poor."

"I feel like the zoo doing this drill, aside from familiarizing with the procedures, has an even greater effect of warning the animals, right? They won't dare to escape now."

"Escape is impossible, never in this lifetime could it be possible to escape, it's like living in the forest while living in the zoo, it's even better than the forest! Food is delivered every day, and there's a group of people performing for our entertainment, woohoo~ I love it here!"

As the "lion" was taken away, the announcement sounded: "Dear visitors, the drill has concluded, please continue to enjoy your visit to the zoo."

Ice Cake lingered for a while before slowly making his way back to the hillside and lying down on the fallen leaves, unable to bring himself to sleep.

The day's events had left a significant impact on his psyche!

After capturing the scene of the lion being hit by a tranquilizer dart and taken away, Mi Jin was also laughing uncontrollably, feeling a bit reluctant to end the excitement.

She waved at the cameraman, "Let's go, let's go, we're off to do interviews."

She began interviewing the nearby tourists who had been watching the commotion.

She had seen a little kid get scared into crying! He was the first one she chose to interview.

She squatted down, gently asked, "Hello little friend? I'd like to interview you; what are your thoughts after watching the zoo's drill just now?"

The child still had tear streaks at the corners of his eyes, but his mood had already settled down.

After a moment of thought, he said, "I saw the lion pounce on someone, people were screaming, and I was very scared inside!"

"Are you still scared now?"

"Not scared anymore, the zoo is awesome with their tranquilizer darts, and all the uncles are very brave. If a lion really does escape in the future, they can catch it too."

They then interviewed a college couple showing off their love: "How do you feel?"

The girl laughed and said, "Seeing this kind of drill, knowing the zoo can handle situations like this, we feel more at ease when coming to play here, right?"

The boy said, "No worries, my dear, I will protect you!"

The single dogs rolled their eyes!

A middle-aged man wearing a black shirt said with a beaming smile, "I hope there are more drills like this in the future. I'd like to bring my daughter here to watch and enhance her awareness of safety.

After all, there are many dangers in life, and you never know when something might happen. The more prepared we are, the safer we'll be."

"Alright, thank you for your answer!"

After finishing the interviews with visitors, he called Fang Ye, and then headed for the lion exhibit.

Fang Ye and Nie were among the zoo employees inside the lion exhibit.

Nie now had taken off his headgear and was grimacing in pain, saying "Ouch, ouch," while rubbing his butt.

"Sister Lin, could you maybe aim for the ground beside me next time? I feel like my butt must be red and swollen right now."

Lin Ying covered her mouth and laughed, "Don't blame me, Director Fang said we had to take it seriously."

Fang Ye encouraged them, "You performed well today, I'll reward you with a red envelope! Everybody, give a round of applause!"

Applause! Applause!

All the zoo employees clapped their hands.

Nie was overjoyed, then took a deep breath, "Hiss, thank you, Director!"

Lei Zhi thought to himself, I also performed with great effort today! Maybe I could get a red envelope too!

But he only thought about it and didn't dare to say anything.

Fang Ye said, "Right, Xin, get him a can of the external injury spray! Use it when you get back."

The ferocious beast exhibit always kept the externally applied spray produced by the system handy for minor scratches, collisions, bruises, and other not too severe injuries. A quick spray would aid a swift recovery, and the effects were excellent.

And then Mi Jin came over for interviews!

"Director Fang, could you provide some details about the drill?"

Fang Ye smiled and said, "Our zoo has an Intelligent Monitoring System. If it detects any abnormal activity of ferocious animals escaping, the control room staff will broadcast an alert throughout the zoo immediately.

Then the staff guide visitors to evacuate promptly, while setting up protective nets to limit the animals' movements.

Frightened animals typically run around, so the staff can report the target's real-time location through walkie-talkies for a flexible response."

He talked about some safety knowledge regarding ferocious animals and the emergency drill plans.

Mi Jin continued with an interview with Nie: "How was the decision made for the person to dress up as the lion? What was it like portraying the lion?"

Nie said, "I'm quite lively by nature, and I thought this task seemed interesting, so I volunteered to be the lion.

Director Fang's requirement for me was to make it look realistic!

It felt alright. It's good that we're now into autumn, and the weather isn't so hot. It's still a bit hot inside the mascot suit, and I sweated quite a bit. It's also not easy to breathe.

There was no need to crawl on all fours while playing the lion, which was a relief. The dart didn't have a needle, but it still hurt quite a bit when it hit my butt! Hiss~"
