Chapter 255 Desert Lions Sold

There is a perpetual lamp in the zoo's mourning hall, and people come to check on it every once in a while.

Only after dealing with these abused animals did Si Ran have some free time.

Su Wanwan and Wen Li added their contact information that day. Wen Li didn't talk much, but she was a charlatan, and all the things she forwarded on her Moments were current affairs.

Su Wanwan's circle of friends is colorful. Every day she either posts food, toys, or photos of her and her husband Gu Fangchi.

That day, Pei Yu asked Si Ran to have dinner with him. After mentioning the matter of salvation, Si Ran mentioned the couple Gu Fangchi and Su Wanwan.

Pei Yu's face instantly turned bitter: "Su Wanwan has been a bad kid since she was young!"

So, Pei Yu told the whole story about Su Wanwan who came back to the Su family at the age of three and a half and how she behaved mischievously.

Finally, he complained: "To be honest, I also admire Lao Gu. His wife is acting up and out of control every day, but he still thinks she is cute."

Si Ran thought about Su Wanwan's personality and said, "Sister Wanwan has a good personality."

"Anyway, I got beaten up a lot when I was little." Pei Yu couldn't put it into words, but he admitted, "But Su Wanwan is really nice to her friends. Every time she hits me, she's gentler than others."

Si Ran: "..."

So who is the evil child between Pei Yu and Su Wanwan?

However, since then, I don’t know if Pei Yu intended to let the two of them spend more time together, but he would organize dinners from time to time, and Si Ran, Su Wanwan and Wen Li became familiar with each other.

By the end of June, Pipi's injuries had completely healed. A few days ago, the staff who were guarding the elephant migration in Province Y discovered that Xi told Si Ran that the Monwa family had started migrating and would return to the place where they had met before in a few days.

So, no matter how much Pipi threw a tantrum, Si Ran would coax it and pack it up and send it back.

Pipi is the first wild animal in the Wonderful Zoo to be truly released back into the wild.

Si Ran was also very reluctant to leave, so much so that before leaving, Si Ran hung big bananas on Pipi and the Mengwa family.

Si Ran also did not forget the ball he promised Pippi and prepared it for it.

Pippi has grown a lot and the lanugo on his body has faded.

The moment he saw the mother elephant, Pippi opened his eyes wide instantly and ran towards the mother elephant.

"Mother!"

Although I didn't want to leave the zoo in my heart and in my mouth, what child doesn't miss his mother?

The mother elephant looked at Pippi, who had completely recovered, affectionately with her head and neighed.

Then, it slowly walked to Si Ran and gently stroked Si Ran's hair with its nose.

"Si Ran, thank you for saving Pi Pi."

"You're welcome." Si Ran raised his head: "If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can ask the staff here for help. They will help you."

"We will."

The Monwa family had to continue to travel hundreds of kilometers to find a new habitat. After Pipi returned to the elephant herd, they left.

When leaving, Pipi still had the banana hanging on his back. He kept looking back, holding the small ball Ranran had given him with his nose raised, and shouted, "Ranran, you must remember me!"

Si Ran waved at Pipi.

How could she forget such an important memory?

After returning to City A from Province Y, Si Ran felt empty.

When Pippi left, her heart felt like something was missing.

But she also knew that it was a good thing for animals to return to the wild. She was reluctant to let go because she had developed feelings for Pippi. Once Pippi left, she might never see it again in her life.

Si Ran rested for a few days and adjusted his mood.

Until that day, a police officer from the A City Police Department called her and said that there was news about Si Nian.

When Si Ran heard this, he was stunned for a moment and asked, "Did you catch him?"

"That's not the case, but Si Nian is now wanted by Country T as well."

The police explained: "Si Nian collaborated with criminals in Country T to kill an internet-famous elephant. Internet users and locals in Country T were very angry, so the police in Country T began to investigate."

Si Ran took a deep breath, realizing that things were not that simple.

"Could the person who collaborated with Si Nian in slaughtering elephants also be a member of the shady website?"

"You're right. We've applied to work on this case together. There are seven people involved in this elephant slaughter case, four men and three women. Si Nian and another man escaped, but the rest have all been apprehended. According to these people themselves, Si Nian is their "superior." Only by slaughtering a wild animal can they "level up" in the gray website and explore more "interesting" things."

"Crazy!" Si Ran gritted his teeth after hearing this.

"Who says it's not?" The police officer said, "We haven't caught Si Nian yet. This time I called to tell you about some progress, but I also have something else to tell you."

The police officer's tone became serious. "After an in-depth investigation, the police from Country T found an animal skin and an animal collar in the home of one of the suspects."

"According to the suspect himself, this was a transaction he made with someone on a gray website. This lion originally lived in Namibia and is an extremely rare desert lion."

"We used the suspect's account to discover that all desert lions were being sold on this gray website. The desert lion with the highest bounty was a female named Bessa."

Si Ran's expression became increasingly serious.

Finally, he said, "I understand."

Then he hung up the phone.

Si Ran immediately convened a meeting and told everyone what the police had just said.

After hearing this, everyone said that they must go to Namibia to ensure that Betha is in a safe area.

There are only a little over a hundred desert lions in the world, making them a critically endangered species.

Even if one is missing, it will be a huge blow to a race.

Not to mention that Bertha is a fertile female desert lion.

After obtaining Namibian visas, they flew to Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, with all their equipment a week later.

When everyone got off the plane, it was six o'clock in the morning local time. There was a six-hour time difference between here and China.

As soon as they got off the ground, the cold wind blew in their faces, making those who were originally wearing short sleeves immediately put on thick sweaters.

Due to its geographical environment, the temperature difference between morning and evening in Namibia is very large.

When they first went down to the field, the temperature was only three degrees Celsius. By the time they drove to the Namibian Desert Reserve in the southwest, the temperature was approaching thirty degrees Celsius!

So this time everyone brought a lot of luggage.

Everyone rented a hotel on the outskirts of the desert reserve and then immediately entered the reserve.

The Namibian desert is one of the oldest deserts in the world. The endless sand dunes are red like clotted blood, but the sky is very clear blue.

On the edge of the desert, the light blue sea water embraces the desert with waves.

Namibia has a 1,600-kilometer coastline and is close to the Atlantic Ocean. The entire desert extends up and down to the border between Angola and South Africa.

There are almost no people in the desert. Except for a few three or four meter high cactus trees occasionally on the periphery at the beginning, there are almost no living things after you officially enter the desert.

It is not easy to find a lion in such a large area.

The only lucky thing is that Si Ran can talk to these animals.

Lin Suiye drove the car under a dead tree, and the antelopes looked into the car curiously.

But when the antelope saw Si Ran looking at it with a smile, it even forgot how to run.

Si Ran waved at it.

"Little antelope, come here."
