Chapter 270 I Really Want to Improve
Ten minutes later, the second cub was still not born, no matter how Si Ran tried to reverse the fetal position.
Betha was already malnourished. Short meals and nutritional injections could not immediately improve her condition. The first cub she gave birth to almost took half of her life.
Si Ran looked at Beisha, who was completely exhausted, and suddenly said, "Besha, do you want to make a bet?"
Si Ran looked serious and said, "I guess the fetal position of your cub is not good. If it continues like this, not only you will be in danger, but also the remaining baby in your belly. The only way to save the cub now is to have surgery to remove the baby from your belly, but if that happens, your situation..."
"I'm fine!" Betha gasped, almost without thinking, "I'm out of strength. I'm going to die anyway, so I might as well give it a try."
Lions never bow to fate.
So when its companions were slaughtered, it put up a very brutal resistance. It did not accept the status quo, but tried hard to survive.
Now she also wants to fight for herself and her children, and she doesn't want to have any regrets.
"Then let's do the surgery."
Qiu Chi, who was standing by, heard Si Ran say this and quickly found the surgical tools from the car.
They only brought simple equipment, anesthesia, scalpels and various anti-inflammatory drugs.
Just like before in the Qinling Mountains, they once again had to perform surgery in the wild. The only difference was that this time the difficulty was like crossing the Qinling Mountains alone.
It's as difficult as climbing to the sky.
However, when they heard that Si Ran was going to undergo surgery, no one present raised any objections. Instead, they all began to prepare.
A simple operating tent was set up, and Ruan Qingyue and Song Zhi did the disinfection work.
Lin Suiye, Zhang Mingyi and Ji Zhishi moved Beisha to the operating room.
Qiu Chi put the first desert lion cub, whose eyes had not yet opened, into the car and fed it immediately.
Si Ran estimated Betha's weight and then took out a certain dose of anesthetic.
The surface temperature has now reached nearly 60 degrees Celsius, and Si Ran can only use a small fan and water to cool down.
There seemed to be layers of heat waves in the air. Si Ran held a sharp scalpel in his hand, which was shining coldly in the sunlight.
The mercenaries outside were stunned by the scene before them.
Because there was no operating table, Si Ran could only kneel on the ground with beads of sweat on his forehead. Qiu Chi took a handkerchief and quickly wiped the sweat off Si Ran, and handed him the scalpel in time when Si Ran asked for it.
Si Ran moved quickly. After cutting open Besha's abdomen, Si Ran quickly took out the difficult-to-deliver desert lion cubs. In addition to the newborn desert lion, there were three more in Besha's belly. These three cubs had suffered cardiac arrest due to suffocation for too long. Si Ran hurriedly asked Lin Suiye and others to come over for first aid.
Si Ran carefully cleaned Betha's wound. The conditions were too simple at the moment, and Si Ran had to ensure that there were no mistakes in every step, otherwise if Betha suffered heavy bleeding, everything would be over.
Lin Suiye is also racing against time.
The three newborn cubs were still covered in all kinds of filth. Lin Suiye cleaned the foreign objects in the cubs' mouths and throats, and then performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation and artificial respiration.
Ten minutes later, after Si Ran finished cleaning Betha's wound, he suddenly heard the cries of cubs one after another.
call!
Si Ran breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the unconscious Beisha. Regardless of whether she could hear or not, she leaned close to Beisha's ear and said, "Besha, your four cubs are fine, so you have to be strong, okay?"
Si Ran quickly sutured the wound, cleaned the dirt from Betha's abdomen, and waited quietly for the helicopter arranged by Pei Yu to arrive.
Pei Yu lived up to expectations. Less than ten minutes after the operation, three helicopters landed in the sky.
The mercenaries and police worked together to lift Bessa onto the helicopter, and Pei Yu also got off another helicopter at this time.
When he saw that Si Ran's clothes were all covered in blood, his face changed instantly: "Ran Ran, are you okay?"
Pei Yu said this, wishing he could just carry Si Ran onto the plane and send her to the hospital for a thorough checkup. However, seeing that Si Ran was fine except for her pale face, Pei Yu carefully checked her from head to toe. He was relieved to find that Si Ran was fine except for some scratches and bruises on her body.
But Pei Yu still blamed himself: "Ranran, it's all my fault for being late."
"Brother Yu arrived very punctually. If he hadn't been available to assist us at any time, I really don't know how I would have handled today's situation."
Si Ran was speaking the truth.
Betha had just had surgery. If she drove back to the rescue station, it would take at least twenty hours. With such alternating hot and cold weather, Betha's wound was very likely to become infected.
They had limited medicines and could not provide Betha with better medical conditions. Pei Yu came so timely that Si Ran didn't know how to thank him from the bottom of her heart.
At this moment, Si Ran was already thinking about what gift she should give Pei Yu to express her gratitude after returning home.
Pei Yu didn't know that Si Ran had already started picking out gifts for him. If he knew, he would probably grow a dog's tail and use it as a propeller.
Pei Yu looked at the large scratch on Si Ran's arm and said, "Xiao Ran, you two should get on the plane together and take the criminal back to the police station."
After a pause, Pei Yu's gaze fell on Gary and Hong Si, and he narrowed his eyes.
"Those who dare to hunt and kill desert lions so openly should be brought back for a thorough trial."
Si Ran nodded: "I believe the local police will handle it."
——
The mercenaries drove back to the city, and Si Ran and others took a helicopter back to the rescue station first.
Eighty percent of Namibians are black, and the director of the rescue station is a woman. When she heard that Si Ran was able to perform a successful caesarean section in such a critical situation, her admiration was beyond words.
"Ran, I've seen you on the international news. You're really outstanding."
"Thank you so much for saving so many animals. I promise you with my life that I will protect the desert lions you and your friends brought back. I will arrange their territory as quickly as possible. I will never allow the incident in Death Valley to happen again."
The female station manager held an emergency meeting after learning that desert lions were killed in large numbers, so what she said was not empty talk, but a promise to Si Ran that she would do everything she could.
Si Ran nodded.
Now Gary and Hong Si have been sent to the police station for further investigation. The Xishan Desert Lion Group will not be able to return to the safe zone with the police vehicle until at least the day after tomorrow.
Si Ran asked, "How are Besa and the four cubs doing now?"
"Betha's surgery was very successful. The four cubs are suffering from brain hypoxia, and judging by their size, they are likely premature. I have arranged for them to be placed in an incubator for observation."
The female station manager described the situation of Betha and her cubs in great detail. After a pause, she continued, "Ran, all the lions that come to the rescue center have names. We've named three of the cubs, but we want to leave the naming rights to one to you."
Si Ran didn't refuse and said, "There's another desert lion cub named Xixi in the lion group in Xishan, so let's name the other one Wangwang."
"The sudden appearance of four new lives in the desert lion group is new hope for the group."
The end of life is not death, but rebirth.
With new life, the desert lion population will gradually prosper in the future, and the local ecosystem will get better and better.
Life is like this, seemingly unrelated, but closely related.
Si Ran and the wildlife protection team stayed in the hotel, waiting for the lion group from Xishan to arrive while waiting for the results from the police.
Pei Yu has been delayed in work these days. He and Si Ran live in the same hotel. He goes out early and comes back late every day, but he still takes time out every day to have a meal with Si Ran and others.
Finally, on the evening of the third day, the police led the lions back to the city.
After Si Ran and Xi Shan communicated with its tribe, they first arranged for the lions to be taken to a rescue station for physical assessment.
All desert lions have varying degrees of illness and malnutrition problems, so Si Ran asked the lions to recuperate in the rescue station first.
With the help of Si Ran, the operation of the local rescue station went very smoothly. At least none of the problems they had imagined occurred.
Afterwards, the female station manager was surprised and asked, "Ran, what did you say to the lions? We used to have to use anesthesia when examining these large wild animals, but after you came, these desert lions became as well-behaved as kittens. When we did B-ultrasounds on them, they even lay down and exposed their bellies."
However, Si Ran just smiled and said nothing.
The female stationmaster remembered that the police officer she was in contact with had said that there was a school in China that specialized in taming wild beasts.
I didn't believe it at first, but seeing that Si Ran was so mysterious, he looked exactly like the masters in the TV dramas imported from China, so I was convinced that Si Ran was a member of the Beast Taming Sect.
The female stationmaster even asked, "Ran, do I need a letter of recommendation from a professor to join your sect?"
Si Ran: "..."
Female webmaster: "I really want to improve!"
