Chapter 76 The Lamb is Still Alive

The team had a clear division of labor. Lin Suiye's car led the way and drove in the direction indicated by Bai Yak.

After driving forward for more than a hundred kilometers, the faint smell of rotting corpses came into the air, and the whole air became sticky.

Eagles and vultures in the sky flew low over the weathered rocks less than three hundred meters away from the car body.

Si Ran could see bloody meat in the birds' mouths.

It belongs to the Tibetan antelope.

Si Ran picked up the intercom and said, "The Tibetan antelope has been found. The car is heading towards the three o'clock direction."

Along with the electric sound of the intercom, Lin Suiye said: "Got it."

The terrain of the Altun Mountains is complex. If it weren't for Queenie, no one would dare to take the risk to go there.

The weathered rock in front of us is about tens of meters high and looks strange, somewhat like the earthen buildings of the Fujian style.

There are many jerboa nests on the weathered rocks.

When the car roared, the little guys first pricked up their heads, then chirped a few times. After a while, all the jerboas returned to their nests and dared not come out to join in the fun.

But a few of them were brave enough to speak up secretly: "Wow! Are humans coming here to kill Tibetan antelopes again? The Tibetan antelopes are so pitiful. If humans continue to kill them like this, will the Tibetan antelopes in our mountains become extinct?"

"But there are very few of them, and there is no scent of Tibetan antelope in the car."

As they were talking, the jerboas saw a girl in a red windbreaker getting out of the car and looking at them.

The two little jerboas' hair stood on end, chirped, and ran back to their nest nimbly.

The two little guys poked their furry heads out and said in trembling voices, "These people aren't coming for the Tibetan antelopes, are they coming for us? No way!!!"

The two little jerboas were desperate.

They really could not imagine that one day eating a melon could bring themselves a catastrophe.

At this time, Si Ran came over.

The two jerboas were so frightened that they stood still, staring at Si Ran blankly, their watery and lively eyes filled with fear.

but--

They really couldn't help it and wanted to take a closer look at the human in front of them.

"It's over! How can humans be so powerful? I, the rat, can't even move!"

"Me too. Has human technology become so advanced now? My heart starts pounding when I see beautiful people."

Si Ran: "..."

She used to think that animals had extremely high IQs, but looking at the two silly little jerboas, she felt that she should be more serious and take back what she had said before.

"I'm not here to hurt you."

Si Ran squatted on the ground, but did not reach out to touch the two little jerboas.

The two little jerboas pulled their protruding ears back, clasped their slender little hands in front of their chests, and stared at Si Ran blankly.

After a while, the little guy jumped up and screamed in fear: "Ahhh! What the hell! The beautiful human is actually talking to us!"

After saying that, the two little guys hugged each other, closed their eyes and dared not look directly at each other.

Si Ran: "...I'm not a ghost, I can understand what you are saying."

"Really?" Jerboa opened one eye, looked Si Ran up and down, and finally said, "So you're a good human, right? Are you here to look for Tibetan antelopes?"

Si Ran nodded.

The jerboa pointed in a direction and said, "Where there are the most vultures is where the Tibetan antelopes are. But you came too late, and all the Tibetan antelopes are dead. However, a few Tibetan antelope mothers gave birth to a few lambs before they died, so they should be alive now."

Upon hearing this, Si Ran immediately stood up.

She and the others came to the weathered rock and saw that the ground was covered with hundreds of Tibetan antelopes.

The smell of decay around was getting worse and worse, and the blood on the ground dyed the yellow soil into ochre red!

Seeing this scene, even Song Zhi's face turned pale. He closed his eyes, unable to look directly at the pile of wreckage in front of him.

Only Si Ran, after a moment of hesitation, walked firmly towards the center of the wreckage.

Then, among the many Tibetan antelope carcasses, three lambs were found huddled together, their bodies covered with flies.

The lambs have not had any milk since their mother gave birth to them, and it is very difficult for them to survive until now.

But now the lamb is also in very bad condition.

Flies swarmed around them, and the vultures around them stared at the lamb, as if they would come over and eat it the next second if the lamb died.

Si Ran took off his jacket, wrapped the only surviving lamb in it, and then returned to the center of the wildlife protection team.

"Qiu Chi, mix the goat milk powder with warm water and give it to the lamb."

As soon as Si Ran came over, the wildlife protection team surrounded her tightly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the little guy in Si Ran's arms.

A small ball that looks like it will die in the next second.

Qiu Chi doesn't talk much, but he is very capable of taking action.

He returned to the car without saying a word, took out the goat milk he had brought with him from the trunk, mixed it with warm water and gave it to the lambs.

Si Ran checked the condition of the lambs. Apart from being exhausted due to lack of milk since birth, there was nothing wrong with them. After drinking goat's milk, the lambs regained some strength.

One of the lambs blinked its big watery eyes, with black eyeliner covering its entire eyes, looking very pitiful.

The little guy stared at Si Ran blankly and shouted, "Mom, are you my mom?"

The little lamb was very excited and started crying after he finished speaking.

The shadow of death has been with it all the time these days, and it doesn't even know what it has done wrong!

The Tibetan antelope mother died in pain from the moment the lamb was born, so much so that the lamb could not tell who its mother was.

It looked at the human in front of it. Although it did not look like her, there was a white light on Si Ran's body. As soon as it got close, it felt warm all over and felt extremely safe.

This kind of human being must be your mother, right?

The little lamb bleated a few times, as if it would keep bleating unless Si Ran agreed.

Si Ran had a headache.

She really didn't expect that there would be a small animal that regarded her as its mother.

Zhang Ming, who was standing next to him, pushed up his glasses and asked curiously, "Does the little guy think of you as his mother?"

Si Ran looked at Zhang Mingyi in surprise.

Zhang Mingyi is not outstanding in the team, but there are no useless people in the wildlife protection team.

Zhang Mingyi is the oldest among the group. He usually speaks in a gentle voice and has a slim figure, but he is quite capable. Sometimes when everyone encounters problems that cannot be solved, Zhang Mingyi can solve them one by one.

Zhang Mingyi clearly couldn't understand what the kid was saying, but he could tell what was going on from his behavior.

"Yes, it seems to think of me as its mother."

Zhang Mingyi was not surprised and explained, "The lamb was only two days old. Its mother died shortly after it was born, so there is no 'animal inheritance' at all. You just saved it, so the little guy naturally regards you as his mother."

Si Ran looked helpless: "Let's take these lambs back to the protection station for inspection first. The situation here..."

After Si Ran finished speaking, he looked at the piles of Tibetan antelope carcasses in the shadows, and felt a lump in his throat.

This may be the first time poaching has occurred on such a large scale in decades, since a serious crackdown on poaching gangs began in 1993.

She absolutely cannot tolerate this!
