The soldiers carried the birds and deer down the mountain to the shore. Qiao Xuejun also carried a fox, which was covered with long fur, but was still shivering from the cold after leaving the cave.
Zhao Yun came to pick them up and introduced his engineering masterpiece: "These slightly larger animals are placed on the raft. I cut some sticks to make a simple frame, and put them inside. I put Professor An's clothes on the outside to keep them warm."
Professor An’s clothes refer to those brought out from his cave. The cotton coats, quilts, sheets, etc. used as shelters for the animals were also looted by Professor An from the zoo’s staff dormitories.
Because the dormitory is on a hill like the zoo, it was not flooded.
Zhao Yun said to Zhao Xian: "Brother, I have re-planned a route back. You see, this route is basically all water. It's a little roundabout, but we don't have to bother these animals."
He took out a small notebook that he had brought with him and drew a route on it, marking the location of the mountains on the map.
Animals will be in a lot of trouble if they go up mountains or down seas, and they will be more likely to die due to stress.
It might be better to stay on the sea all the time. Although it is not as fast as a straight line, it is very stable.
Zhao Xian looked at it and nodded: "Execute."
Qiao Xuejun looked at the map and pursed her lips. If she stayed in the sea, she would not be able to get ashore. But compared to the plants that she might not be able to find, Professor An's real animals were more important.
She did not object.
Zhao Xian stopped and looked at Qiao Xuejun.
Professor An followed the soldiers and personally instructed them on how to settle the animals.
Qiao Xuejun also wanted to go over with the fox in her arms.
Zhao Xian called her: "Teacher Qiao."
Qiao Xuejun looked back at him: "What's wrong?"
Zhao Xian walked up to her and said, "You can't get ashore."
Qiao Xuejun: “…I know.”
Zhao Xian looked into her eyes and said, "It was my negligence. I shouldn't have brought you out this time. I'm sorry."
Qiao Xuejun was slightly dumb, then shook her head: "It doesn't matter, this trip is not in vain. And this has nothing to do with you. After all, when Professor An asked you for help, he didn't tell you that the situation was so complicated. If it were me, I wouldn't have expected that the mission would change from saving one person to saving 23 small animals."
She smiled and said, "It's not your fault, don't apologize."
Zhao Xian shook his head: "It's my responsibility."
Qiao Xuejun: "Really. Just remember to bring me along next time."
"Next time?" Zhao Xian raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked her, "Aren't you tired?"
"I'm a professional, I don't get tired!" Qiao Xuejun denied stubbornly, then added in a low voice: "Besides, I'm very happy."
