The group of people outside the cave looked into the bottomless, dark cavern, where it was so dark they couldn't see their own hands in front of their faces.
In recent years, human-caused environmental destruction has nearly driven the wild Siberian tigers of Changbai Mountain to extinction.
How could this not break Professor Zhu's heart?
Professor Zhu from the animal protection base finally arrived after a long journey with several of his capable assistants.
Exhausted, Professor Zhu sat down on the stone archway by the door, panting heavily.
The assistants discussed how to get into the cave.
I heard some noises outside.
Lin Feng said to the group, "The animal protection association should have arrived. I'll go outside and take a look."
Upon reaching the outside of the cave, they indeed saw an old man dressed in military green.
Several young people followed behind.
Lin Feng stepped forward and greeted them: "You must be the head of the animal protection association. Bai Lu made the call for me just now. My name is Lin Feng."
The assistant beside him introduced, "This is Professor Zhu from our base. We heard you discovered the Siberian tiger, is that right?"
The assistant, who clearly didn't have much hands-on experience, asked Lin Feng with an excited expression.
Professor Zhu is the director of the Siberian Tiger Research Base and is particularly skilled at treating Siberian tigers. He can be considered a leading figure in this field!
"Unfortunately, the mother tiger had already gone through a difficult labor before we found her, and it took her a long time to recover. Without human intervention, she probably wouldn't have survived, not to mention she had three cubs in her belly!"
"What?" Professor Zhu looked guilty. They had rushed to the town as quickly as possible, but by the time they arrived here, a long time had passed. In addition, they had climbed the mountain and made their way to the cave entrance, and they hadn't even had time to hear the news.
"If we had been any faster, we might have had a chance to save four lives! What a pity!"
Professor Zhu has treated countless animals, and almost any animal he treats can be saved.
This time, he watched helplessly as his race against time proved futile, and his heart sank.
Looking at Professor Zhu, Lin Feng could tell that he was truly heartbroken.
"Please don't worry. Although the mother tiger's condition was indeed critical, the crisis has now passed. The situation was too urgent at the time, and we couldn't wait for you to arrive. Please forgive me for taking the liberty of performing surgery on the mother tiger!"
"The three tiger cubs are currently nursing peacefully in their mother's arms, and they are really adorable!"
Professor Zhu couldn't believe his ears: "What?"
He looked around at his surroundings. Surgery? Here?
The cave was surrounded by overgrown weeds, and the light inside was so dim. Even if you had all the tools, how could you perform surgery without electricity or instruments?
Professor Zhu was struck dumb, as if by lightning, and was too shocked to speak.
My first instinct was to check on the mother tiger!
"Let's go, let's go check the situation first!" Professor Zhu's steps were somewhat hurried as he urged his assistants to go into the cave to check the situation.
Lin Feng led the group into the cave.
I witnessed a mother tiger nursing her cubs.
Although the tigress was very weak, no one dared to get too close.
Professor Zhu watched the tigress's condition from afar and couldn't help but praise her.
He said to his assistants behind him, "Look at this technique, it seems the tigress has recovered quite well!"
The tigress doesn't look like she just had surgery at all.
It's recovered so well that several assistants standing next to it were afraid it would paw at them.
It really could happen.
A number of people arrived at the cave, but the tigress was only a little agitated and showed no intention of attacking.
[Did you see that? This is Professor Zhu! I went to their base before but couldn't get a job there. How embarrassing, hahaha!]
[It seems even Feng Ge's skills are recognized by this professor; his skills must be quite excellent!]
Wow, that's awesome!
After observing for half a day, I explained everything to my assistants. These assistants have very few opportunities for practical experience; they rarely have the chance to see a Siberian tiger that has just undergone surgery and to study it so closely.
They listened intently, one by one.
All that's missing is taking out the camera to take pictures and record it.
Professor Zhu: "By the way, Xiao Lin, where did you learn your skills?"
He had just carefully examined the mother tiger and her cubs.
He was already greatly surprised just by seeing the tools on the ground.
Are these the only tools available for surgery?
The environment here is arguably the worst it could be.
Let's put the technology aside for now.
Surgery here carries a risk of bacterial infection, and with such rudimentary tools, he himself wouldn't dare to perform the procedure here.
Even in professional research institutions, performing surgery on a Siberian tiger requires the approval of leadership.
The point about who is responsible is very important.
The young people before us not only bear this enormous responsibility, but also face public exposure in the media. Failure could ruin their lives...
That kind of courage alone is probably something no one else could do.
The technical difficulties encountered during the surgery were also analyzed.
Seeing an even smaller tiger cub only added to their confusion.
Logically speaking, tiger cubs with such a large size difference should not be able to survive.
What exactly did he do?
Professor Zhu looked at the handsome young man in front of him with surprise; he possessed a maturity beyond his years.
Looking at the assistants he had personally trained, he had a lot of questions about even just having them perform surgery on animals under the lights.
Lin Feng wasn't exaggerating: "I've performed surgery on people before, but this is my first time on an animal!"
