The door made of iron plates was difficult to withstand. Several strong men outside smashed it dozens of times with iron pipes, leaving a dent in the door.
The man kicked open the twisted iron door and walked directly into the cave, cursing: "Damn you old man, you didn't open the door, and my hands hurt from banging on it! I think you're looking for death, day after day..."
After he said this, he suddenly fell silent and looked into the depths of the cave in amazement. There were dozens of large cages placed against the wall... peacocks, some eagle-like birds, some small animals like sika deer and red pandas.
He also saw a fox... yes, he had seen it when he brought his children to visit the zoo!
There are dozens of them in total.
Not only this man, but also several of his companions who followed him in were all frozen in place, shocked by the scene before them.
They came up the mountain just to see the bird raised by Professor An. They had seen it in the zoo before. The bird listened to the old man and did whatever he told it to do, as if it understood human language.
That bird was flying around in the sky. The trees on these mountains had long been stripped of their bark. How did such a big bird survive? Someone must be raising it! If there is one, there must be another!
Is that a bird? That's meat! They haven't had meat in a long time.
But in their expectation, even if Professor An raised birds, there would probably be only two or three.
Who knew there would be an unexpected surprise! There were so many, it must be enough to eat for a long time.
Professor An stood in front of the cages and shouted, "An Lao Er, I raised all these animals on this mountain. They have never eaten a single bite of your food. It has nothing to do with you!"
An Lao Er also saw that on the other side of the cave next to the cage, there were several bundles of branches piled up. The branches were all dead leaves, but there were also some evergreen pine needles. Not many, probably all of them had been consumed.
Next to the branches, there were some soft shells of mutant clams… An Laoer looked at the clam shells, then looked at Professor An: “You caught clams to feed these things. I almost forgot that your birds are meat eaters. So when these sea monsters didn’t come ashore, what did you feed these birds with? Human flesh?”
Professor An said, "Don't talk nonsense! Don't come over here!"
He picked up a hatchet and pointed it at the person in front of him, saying, "If you come any closer, I won't be polite!"
The second An laughed disdainfully: "You are just an old man!"
The woman behind him said, "Uncle San, why are you doing this? Are these beasts more important than us? My son is also your nephew! Don't you feel sorry for him? He hasn't eaten meat for a year!"
Professor An knew that he could not defeat these people, so he turned around and used the knife in his hand to chop the chains on the cages, intending to let the animals escape on their own.
When An Lao Er saw Professor An's actions, his face changed. He hurried forward and kicked Professor An to the ground fiercely: "Old man, do you still want to let these beasts run away?"
Professor An's internal organs were almost dislocated by the kick. He covered his chest and was unable to speak.
An Lao Er didn't want to let him go just like that. He picked up the knife on the ground and said, "Old man, you're just causing trouble!"
He raised the knife towards Professor An.
Seeing him like this, the others were a little panicked and hurriedly stopped him: "Second brother, what are you doing!"
An Lao Er looked back at them, still holding the knife: "What's the matter, do you think I want to kill someone? I just cut off one of his hands, so that he won't have the energy to trouble us all the time! There are so many beasts that we can't eat them all in one or two days, don't we have to feed them first and eat them slowly? Don't they have to come to our house to steal? I won't kill anyone!"
After hearing this, the people fell silent. As long as they didn't kill anyone, there was no need to kill anyone. Besides, "It's time to teach this old man a lesson and stop him from stealing our things."
These animals listened to the old professor very much, because they had seen it before. If he came to steal, it would be really difficult to prevent him.
An Laoer raised the knife and was about to chop Professor An's arm.
Professor An's pupils suddenly shrank, and his throat seemed to be blocked. He was silent for a moment and couldn't utter a word.
"Bang!"
A gunshot was heard and the bullet shot towards An Laoer's shoulder.
"ah!"
Hearing An Laoer's pig-slaughtering howl, the hatchet in his hand fell to the ground. He knelt on the ground, covering his bleeding shoulder and howling.
Professor An was startled and immediately turned his head to look at the entrance of the cave, where the bullet came from.
Against the light, he saw the outline of a tall figure, especially because he was wearing a military helmet, and was obviously taller than an ordinary person.
A man in military uniform stood there holding a black pistol.
He raised his eyes, glanced over, and pointed his gun at those people: "Get down and hold your head."
The faces of the previously arrogant people turned pale, and they immediately followed the soldier's orders tremblingly, holding their heads with their hands and squatting on the ground.
The old professor finally came to his senses and said, "You, you are..."
Suddenly, Professor An saw a head poking out from the cave entrance and looking inside.
It was a girl. She seemed to find that there was no threat in the cave. She ran towards him openly, squatted down, and held his arm: "Professor An? Where are you injured?"
Professor An looked at the man in military uniform and the woman in protective clothing, and guessed, "You, who are you...?"
Qiao Xuejun helped the old professor sit up, looked at Zhao Xian who was walking over, and introduced him: "This is Zhao Xian, the Lord of the First Base, and I am his..."
Party A?
Qiao Xuejun paused for a moment, then continued, "I am Qiao Xuejun, the one in charge of farming under him. Old expert, can you still move?"
They heard the banging sounds like someone banging on a door coming from this side, and rushed over here, luckily they caught up.
When Zhao Xian came in, he pressed her against the entrance of the cave and prevented her from entering. He came in first.
However, Zhao Xian had the situation under control within ten seconds. The previous scene was quite thrilling, the man was about to chop down with a knife, and they ran all the way over, luckily they caught up.
Qiao Xuejun glanced around the cave.
I was also shocked. There were so many animals. No wonder Professor An asked for help in the zoo. But, how could they raise so many animals during this period?
Qiao Xuejun is simply unimaginable.
She thought again of the trees on this mountain. All the bark and branches had been stripped off. Were they used to feed these animals?
Professor An: "It's you, it really is! I thought... you wouldn't come..."
Zhao Xian took out the walkie-talkie and said, "Attention all units. Go north of Nanshan Mountain, 15 minutes up the water. The stop is at 2 o'clock. We have found the target. Come over."
"Instructions received" were responded on the intercom.
Zhao Xian lowered his eyes to look at the old expert: "Professor An, the medical soldiers will be here soon, please wait."
