Chapter 87 Lion Dafei: Chaos at Jiangzhou Zoo
Labor reform was also a good thing for the two dogs.
Gu Yiliu conveyed the message of the two dogs to Tang Shishen and the others. The dogs obediently waited for instructions and cooperated exceptionally well with everyone who came to see them. They were intelligent enough to know that this was their only chance.
Then, not long after, the two dogs were taken away.
"They can't go to big events, but they should be able to handle smaller places. Smaller places are in dire need of police dogs, and these dogs are quite experienced."
A few days later, Gu Yiliu received a 2% positive review rating from the two dogs, and she knew that the two dogs had been found jobs.
Gu Yiliu checked the positive review rate, which had reached 46%. "Dian Dian, with 54% positive reviews left, I'm about to complete the task."
Dian Dian was in a good mood. "That's right, it will be soon. A 54% positive review rate is very easy for us."
However, joy turned to sorrow. After Dian Dian finished speaking, she and Gu Yiliu did not receive any requests for help for a month.
"What happened?" Gu Yiliu asked.
He shook his head, looking completely dejected. "It's just that no animals asked you for help; it's nothing serious."
"Is this not a big deal? She's just being stubborn." Gu Yiliu looked at the system's expression and thought that this might have hurt Dian Dian's confidence.
Gu Yiliu was just wondering what to do when Dong Ling's greeting suddenly popped up on the system panel.
Officer Gu, it's been a long time. I had a great time at the zoo lately, lots of kids came to visit, and it suddenly reminded me of Fengfeng and Dandan. I wonder how they're doing. Does Officer Gu know anything about them?
Gu Yiliu immediately looked at Dian Dian, and the system's eyes lit up. "Yiliu, finally some work!"
This is like a pillow appearing immediately when you're about to doze off.
Gu Yiliu nodded: "Let's go to Jiangzhou Zoo to see Fengfeng and Dandan."
When the individual arrived, the Jiangzhou Zoo was putting on an animal show, and they happened to see a lion jumping through a ring of fire.
The audience is cheering, and the lion is roaring loudly.
"Roar roar roar!"
Gu Yiliu looked at the lion with its neck locked and frowned. The lion was roaring in pain.
Even his brown sideburns couldn't hide the collar around his neck; everyone could see it, the iron lock tightly binding his neck.
Under everyone's watchful eyes, the enormous lion shook its head again, causing its keeper, who was holding it, to lose his balance.
"Roar roar roar!"
It hurts! Let go of me!
Dian Dian frowned as she looked at the lion on the stage. There were people all around, mostly children. "It's top-notch. It might break free of its restraints and rush into the crowd if it can't stand it."
"I'll go talk to someone," Gu Yiliu sighed, resignedly following Dian Dian's directions to find the person in charge.
As Gu Yiliu walked along, he encountered two peacocks swaggering along the road, and two monkeys following the tourists.
I don't know how Yan Shitong managed it; it seems like the zoo has been a mess all along.
Hopefully, the two baby elephants, Fengfeng and Dandan, won't be mistreated.
Gu Yiliu walked to an office and knocked on the door.
"Enter."
The woman sitting inside drinking tea looked up at Gu Yiliu and asked, "Hello, comrade, is there anything I can help you with?"
Gu Yiliu looked at the woman, who appeared to be in her sixties, and said, "If the lion on the stage doesn't want to perform, make it leave the stage and then untie the chain around its neck."
"You mean Dafei? That's just how he is. He gets a little moody after every performance, but he's fine after he gets off the stage."
Gu Yiliu frowned. "It said it didn't want to. Otherwise, if it gets angry and hurts someone, your zoo will be the one to pay compensation. There are only children in the zoo."
Hearing these discouraging words, the woman looked displeased. "Who are you? What business is it of our zoo?"
Gu Yiliu knew that his sudden remark would annoy people. "Where is Director Yan? I'm his friend."
"You know my son? What's your name?" The woman's expression softened. He was her son's friend, so she couldn't afford to be unfriendly.
"Gu Yiliu, could you please tell Director Yan that this lion is acting strangely and needs to be removed from the stage as soon as possible?"
Wang Lan responded with an "oh," but she didn't quite agree with Gu Yisu's words, saying, "I know this lion is under my control; he's always up to his old tricks."
But she was also feeling uneasy. Gu Yiliu kept emphasizing that something was wrong with the lion, so she was also feeling uneasy.
"Fine," Wang Lan said, picking up her keys and walking out of the office. "I'll have someone take it off the stage." Then she sent someone to fetch her son.
Just as I stepped onto the stage, an unexpected event occurred.
Suddenly, the lion, which had been being held by its keeper on the platform, leaped forward, shook its head violently, and broke free from the keeper's control.
A gasp rippled through the crowd, and as everyone watched the lion, their steps faltered.
The enormous lion, with its piercing eyes, surveyed its surroundings as if patrolling its territory, its feet pacing back and forth as it warily looked around.
"Oh dear!" Gu Yiliu and Wang Lan arrived near the stage just in time to see the lion Dafei break free from its keeper.
"Everyone, run!" Wang Lan's face was pale, and her hand holding the keys began to tremble. "What are we going to do?"
Gu Yiliu: "Don't panic, quickly evacuate the crowd," she snatched the key from her hand, "This key is for unlocking, right?"
Wang Lan nodded, her face pale. "Comrade Gu, this..."
"Listen to me, disperse the crowd and prevent a stampede." Gu Yiliu looked at the lion on the stage. It was still standing, motionless, but he didn't let the keeper get any closer.
She understood that it didn't want to be tied up anymore. Perhaps it didn't want to hurt people; after spending a lot of time with humans, even the most ferocious animal develops some human-like qualities.
"Yes, I'm going to find someone. We have to kill it, otherwise it will eat people." Wang Lan was somewhat incoherent.
Gu Yiliu frowned. "We can't fight."
After Gu Yiliu finished speaking and saw that Wang Lan was alright, she quickly ran against the crowd towards the stage. Any slower, and someone would shoot Shi Zidafei, making the situation even more uncontrollable.
As it got closer and closer to Lion Dafei, it began to notice her.
It stared at her and roared, "Roar! Roar! Roar!"
Don't come any closer! Stop right there!
"Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!" Don't come any closer!
At this moment, Gu Yiliu had already stepped directly onto the stage. Lion Dafei roared and raised its head, annoyed that this woman was not afraid of it and insisted on running over.
It approached her, opened its mouth wide, and roared at her. Its teeth were so sharp they could tear her apart in one bite! She was sure to be terrified.
"Watch out!"
Amidst the gasps of the crowd, Gu Yiliu's hand patted the lion's furry head.
"roar……?"
Lion Dafei's expression froze for a moment, and he opened his mouth but couldn't utter a sound.
What's wrong with this woman? She's not afraid of it, and she's even patting its head.
It stared at the woman so close to it, opened its mouth, and showed its teeth.
Its fangs haven't worn down yet; they're still very sharp, capable of killing instantly. Are you afraid? Would you be afraid? You probably would be.
But gradually, the confidence and arrogance in its eyes dissipated as Gu Yilu remained indifferent, and its confidence was even shaken.
It wasn't sure if she was afraid of it.
Gu Yiliu gently patted its head again, "Don't move around, you might scare people."
Dafei rolled his eyes and let out a soft roar from his throat, "Roar roar roar roar? Who are you? Aren't you afraid of me?"
Gu Yiliu turned his head to look at its neck and showed it the key in his hand. "Why should I be afraid of you? You're so cute."
Lion Dafei's lion face showed a rare blank expression. "Roar?" Really?
“Really, cute is cute, I don’t need to lie to you,” Gu Yiliu replied casually. At the same time, the collar around Dafei’s neck fell off. Dafei felt that its breathing became much easier. It lowered its eyes, gradually realized something, and looked at Gu Yiliu with a complicated expression.
"Roar roar roar roar." You are different from them. You can understand what I'm saying. It's one thing for the zookeepers not to understand me, but they also often force me to do things I don't like.
"Comrade Gu, get out of the way! We're about to open fire!"
Gu Yiliu frowned when he suddenly heard Wang Lan's voice.
Lion Dafei lowered its eyes, concealing the sadness and grief within. It had long anticipated this moment; if it resisted, it would be killed. Just like its predecessor, it refused to perform, was beaten, and ultimately starved to death.
"Wait a minute," Gu Yiliu stroked its fur, which was rough to the touch and didn't feel good, like malnourished withered grass. If he touched it again, he could feel the bones on Dafei's body.
The zookeeper probably doesn't take good care of it, and it probably doesn't eat very well.
"Don't worry, I won't let them kill you."
Dafei looked up and finally his gaze fell on the crowd below the stage. Some were curious about it, but most were afraid of it.
It looked at Gu Yiliu again, and hope rose in its heart.
Perhaps, this time it really doesn't need to fear being killed.
"Comrade Gu, get out of the way! If you bring this beast back, it won't be able to escape once it realizes what's happening!" Wang Lan said anxiously.
Even Dafei's keeper spoke up, "Dafei has a bad temper, Comrade Gu, you'd better get away from him quickly."
Dafei looked at a familiar face in the crowd—it was its keeper. But it didn't like him at all.
"It didn't hurt anyone, so why kill it?" Gu Yiliu retorted to Wang Lan and the zookeeper. "Besides, if you're so afraid it will hurt people, why are you still standing here? You're zoo staff, and there are so many tourists around. Why are you all still here? Aren't you afraid? Shouldn't you be telling the tourists to leave immediately?"
this……
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. In truth, everyone knew that because the lion hadn't harmed or chased anyone, the initial tension and fear gradually dissipated, and the desire to watch the spectacle took over. Before long, surprisingly few people had run away, and those who remained still crowded around the stage.
“You guys have absolutely no sense of safety,” Gu Yiliu said. “Everyone, quickly spread out to a safe area and don’t get too close. If you don’t want Lion Dafei to get into trouble, then listen to me.”
"Listen to her, listen to her, spread out..."
"I think Lion Flying is quite intelligent; you see, it always stands behind people..."
"It's still viewable even when it's scattered..."
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
Dafei looked up at the sky and saw two birds flying around. These were parrots from the zoo, and they were also performing stars. They would bring him gossip about the zoo and also get together with him to complain about the zoo staff.
"Chirp chirp chirp!"
Dafei, Dafei, you've met a good person!
"Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!" Yes, I met a good person. Bubble, come down and meet her too, she's really nice!
"Chirp chirp chirp?" Can she help me cure my child's illness?
