Chapter 83 The gorgeous aurora is flowing in the sky

After Su Wudeng saw the bloodstain clearly, she felt as if her head was hit hard.

There was something wrong with the wound.

The edge of the wound was surprisingly smooth, as if it had been cut precisely by a sharp blade.

This level of smoothness was definitely not a wound that could be caused by any kind of pet. What was even more shocking was that the skin around the wound was an unnatural purple-blue color, as if it had been corroded by some toxin.

Blood continued to seep out, drawing winding dark red marks on the pure white fur.

This was definitely not a natural wound...

She thought of poachers.

Only humans can use such a sharp weapon, and it is very likely that it is not only for hunting, but also for torture.

Perhaps it was because her breathing was a little heavy, Su Wudeng's action instantly attracted the attention of the polar bear.

The originally confused and frightened eyes suddenly widened, and it turned back to stare at her vigilantly.

It tried to hold the emperor penguin and retreat, but the moment it moved, its body swayed, and its huge body was about to fall.

"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." Su Wudeng consciously comforted it softly, but saw that the polar bear's pupils shrank sharply and its breathing became more and more rapid.

In this case, it still tightly protected the emperor penguin beside it, completely shielding it behind itself.

At this moment, the polar bear seemed to finally give up. Its front legs went limp and it fell heavily to the ground.

The poison started to take effect.

It shouldn't have been so fast, but just now, in order to avoid being chased by Su Wudeng and the others, it had to run a long distance. The intense exercise and nervousness accelerated the spread of the poison .

Its white fur was soaked with cold sweat, perhaps because of the freezing cold water in the ice cave. Its body was shaking violently.

But it still stubbornly used its last bit of strength to protect the emperor penguin in front of it.

The emperor penguin made a weak cry, crying sadly.

"It's okay," Su Wudeng squatted down slowly, trying to speak as softly as possible, "I won't hurt you, trust me, okay?"

"Polar bear, you are very likely to have spread the poison now, let me take a look, okay?"

She said as she slowly approached.

The polar bear felt bad, but it no longer had the strength to move.

The poison was so strong that it felt its pupils begin to shrink.

All its mental strength was used to suppress the flow of toxins in its body, and it could only watch Su Wudeng approach.

Then it felt a cautious touch.

Su Wudeng approached carefully, and then pushed aside the blood-soaked fur. Her previous observation was correct. This was a wound that could only be caused by an absolutely sharp cutting knife.

She checked upwards along the wound, and at this moment, her pupils suddenly contracted -

a metal barb shining with a cold light was deeply embedded in the flesh, and the edge was a strange blue color.

This is the source of the toxin!

Moreover, this kind of barb is a special barb that is only equipped with high-level hunting equipment, and the surface is coated with a deadly anesthetic.

This is something she had seen in the computer records of the poachers she had collected before. It is extremely expensive, and only a very small number of poachers will use it.

"Another damn poacher!" She cursed inwardly.

The good news is that the polar bear is not poisoned, but the bad news is that this is an extremely strong anesthetic, the kind used by high-level poachers.

In other words, they are being targeted by more dangerous and brutal poachers, and this may just be the first step.

The polar bear's breathing is getting more and more stable, which is a sign that the anesthesia is about to pass.

But the emperor penguin it is protecting doesn't know, it just thinks its little friend is going to die.

It is obvious that it has wounds all over its body and can't even stand up, but it still uses all its strength to anxiously rub the polar bear's cheek, as if trying to keep it awake.

Su Wudeng felt as if her heart was being grabbed tightly. The emperor penguin was more seriously injured than the polar bear, but the polar bear did not give up on it.

If it had not been for taking the emperor penguin away, the polar bear could have escaped long ago.

But it did not.

The emperor penguin did not either.

Su Wudeng's eyes could not help but become moist. She felt that her previous thoughts were absurd. They were not prey-hunt relationships at all. They were partners in the escape and pursuit, partners who would not give up each other at the critical moment of life and death.

Such pure friendship was destroyed by human greed and cruelty.

The snowfield was really cold. The biting cold wind scratched her cheeks, and her knuckles turned white due to the force.

Her voice was very soft: "Don't be afraid, Emperor Penguin, the polar bear is not dead, it's just a little too tired and wants to rest."

The Emperor Penguin whimpered, and was about to say something, when suddenly a sharp wolf howl came from afar, breaking through the howling of the wind and snow.

It instantly tensed up, with fear in its eyes. It was those humans, they came!

Su Wudeng realized instantly that it was poachers!

Amber and the others all looked vigilantly above the frozen ground, the sound came from there.

Heiyao took a few steps forward instantly, his eyes revealing a ferocious murderous intent, and warned: "This kind of power... must be at least a leader-level wolf pack!"

The sound of the wolves running was getting closer and closer, mixed with metal collisions and heavy breathing.

Those were the footsteps of the poachers.

The emperor penguin didn't believe Su Wudeng, they humans are really in the same group!

It let out a desperate cry, and the blue light on its body flashed intermittently.

The polar bear's consciousness began to blur, but it still used up its last bit of strength and gently pushed the emperor penguin, let's go, don't worry about it.

But how could the emperor penguin leave? It buried its head deep in the polar bear's neck.

If it is destined to be captured...

then it would rather self-destruct!

The emperor penguin condenses blue light all over its body, and it wants to take away all humans with the final explosion!

The wolf howls again, this time closer.

These fierce creatures have tracked countless prey and never missed.

The poachers were already looming, and the sounds came from above.

The emperor penguin gently combed the polar bear's blood-soaked hair, his movements were extremely gentle. The polar bear closed his eyes weakly and accepted the care of his partner meekly. It understood the emperor penguin's choice.

"Together..." it said.

The air was getting colder, a precursor to a blizzard.

Yingying couldn't bear to watch it anymore. It rubbed against Su Wudeng uncomfortably and wrapped its big tail around its sister to keep her warm.

There is a way to escape these poachers, but the emperor penguin doesn't trust his sister, doesn't trust humans, and won't let his sister get close.

They won't leave.

The cold wind whistled, and a sharp metal collision sound suddenly rang out.

"Down there!" The poacher leader laughed, "It turns out that these two little creatures are hiding under the ice."

"Break it for me!"

The ice layer was extremely thick, and ordinary pets could not break it at all, but there were humans outside, and they had tools. Someone was carrying a huge ice drill, which was military-grade equipment. The cold drill head was half a person's height.

"Boom!"

With a terrifying roar, the ice drill started, and the ice layer began to crack, and ice and snow splashed everywhere.

The solid ice layer was easily torn apart like a piece of paper, revealing the deep ice cave below.

The poachers laughed recklessly: "Where can you run this time!"

"Sooner or later, we will skin you alive and sell your bones. Then we will definitely make a fortune!"

They came down with the wolf pack.

The moment the emperor penguin saw these humans, the blue light on its body became brighter.

Now, let's die together!

But before it could release, a figure blocked it.

It was Su Wudeng.

She sighed and her voice was as cold as ice in the polar regions: "You all deserve to die."

She took out the high-energy particle gun she was carrying, and the gun body glowed with a faint blue light in the frozen state, and aimed it at the poacher leader.

But the poacher leader didn't care at all. He opened the protective shield before coming down. This was the highest level of protective shield, which was specially customized for their operation by the laboratory.

A mere blue broken gun couldn't hurt him at all.

So when he saw Su Wudeng's presence, his eyes lit up and he grinned: "Oh, what a surprise! There are still people here!"

"Are you feeling righteous? Or do you want to steal from us?"

"But no matter which one, it's just suicide."

"But don't say that, these beasts behind you are so well-fed..."

He swept his greedy eyes over Yingying and the others, then snapped his fingers and signaled to the people behind him: "Catch them all!"

After Su Wudeng took aim, he raised his hand and fired a shot. The light of the high-energy particle gun condensed instantly, and a blue beam whizzed out, and the leader's right ear was accurately cut off in half.

Blood flowed down his cheek, and the sly smile on his face froze instantly.

Su Wudeng felt sorry for herself. She had never practiced before. Her aim was not good. Even with the help of an assisted aiming gun, she was still a little off.

However, she said, "The next shot will not be as simple as the ear."

The leader covered his ears and roared angrily, "What are you waiting for? Come on! Tear her apart!"

But the poachers behind him dared not to. This gun could even open the protective cover. Anyone who was hit would die!

But if people didn't go up, there were still pets.

Under the angry scolding of the poacher leader, more than a dozen wolves rushed up with howls.

Su Wudeng took a step back. Amber, Heiyao, Aihua and Yingying rushed up immediately.

A long wolf howl sounded, and the figures of Amber and Obsidian flashed by like lightning, and the two directly surrounded the side and rear of the wolf pack.

Then, with their cooperation, several wolves in the wolf pack were directly knocked out, and the wolf pack's formation was instantly disrupted.

Following closely was Yingying, who rushed directly into the wolf pack, swung his tail violently and swept across, and wailing rang out wherever he passed.

And Aihua also arrived at the battlefield and stood on the stake to fight directly!

This was a one-sided crushing battle. The poacher leader's face turned livid in an instant. Their pets were no match at all!

"No... Impossible!"

As soon as the voice fell, Obsidian had torn another hound to pieces, and the blood dyed its black fur red.

It looked at the poacher with a cold gaze, revealing its threatening fangs, and its target was already locked.

The poacher instantly felt the shadow of death, and he retreated trembling.

No, no, no, how could this happen?

These are the most powerful commander-level wolves. They roam the snowfields, unstoppable, and have never failed!

But why can these four pets crush them?

There is also a gap between the commanders.

In just a few minutes, the wolf pack that the poacher was so proud of fell to the ground.

"Now," Su Wudeng raised the particle gun and aimed at the poacher leader's forehead, "I'll send you to hell!"

The leader's face turned pale and he collapsed on the ground: "Let me go, please! I won't dare to do it again!"

"All for you..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Wudeng's fingers had already pulled the trigger, a blue light flashed, and the poacher's body fell heavily in a pool of blood.

Seeing this, the other poachers turned around and fled in fear, but were blocked by Hei Yao and Ying Ying who had been ambushed on both sides.

There was only one way to go.

...

The bloody smell gradually dissipated in the wind and snow.

The emperor penguin stared at everything in front of him, as if he had not yet recovered from the shock.

In just a few minutes, those relentless hunters, those demons that had forced them to flee in the polar regions for days, fell in the snow.

No one would ever hurt them with those terrible weapons again, and the howling of wolves would never echo in their ears again.

Just like that... it's over?

It looked at Su Wudeng cautiously.

For the first time, it was confused. Why? Why would humans help them?

The sister approached, but this time it did not dodge.

Warm hands gently stroked its head. The sister's voice was soft, but gentle: "It's okay."

"Does it hurt?"

"Can I take a look?"

The emperor penguin nodded subconsciously, and the sister's fingers gently uncovered its feathers.

But it was too cold, and the blood had frozen, mixed with the feathers, and it was very hard.

It suddenly realized that it was so dirty now, would it be disliked?

But the sister covered its feathers, and the warmth of her palm came over, and her movements were as gentle as treating a fragile treasure.

It reminded it of its mother.

Suddenly, its eyes were sore, and it unconsciously moved closer and fell into a warm embrace.

A gentle voice came, "Are you willing to believe your sister?"

"Sister will take you and the polar bear away from here to get treatment, okay?"

Okay?

It saw Obsidian and Amber silently guarding by the side, and Yingying followed behind her sister, and Aihua's huge body resisted the howling wind and snow.

He looked down and saw the unconscious polar bear. He

didn't ask, "Xiongxiong, do you think good luck will come to us?"

I think so.

The emperor penguin rubbed Su Wudeng's hand, just like he had rubbed the polar bear countless times before.

"Okay."

The emperor penguin tilted his head and looked at her, "I believe in you, sister."

The wind and snow became stronger, night fell, and the gorgeous aurora was moving in the sky.

The emperor penguin thought, it's so beautiful.

...

Su Wudeng immediately took the seriously injured emperor penguin and the polar bear away from the snowfield.

Inside the wooden house, the fire in the fireplace was flickering warmly. The

relaxed emperor penguin finally couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.

Su Wudeng caught it quickly, only to find that there were coagulated blood clots everywhere under its feathers.

She hurriedly said: "Quick! Exchange all medical equipment for me!"

After deducting a large amount of hope value, the system immediately provided a series of medical equipment.

Su Wudeng immediately placed the emperor penguin on the redeemed medical bed. The medical equipment started automatically, and beams of light scanned the emperor penguin's body.

After placing the emperor penguin, she placed the polar bear on another medical bed and performed the same operation.

The blue light of the holographic scanner enveloped the two pets, and lines of data jumped rapidly.

"Testing..."

"Excessive blood loss and a large amount of anesthetic toxins were detected..."

"Treatment is being carried out..."

The blue light shield enveloped the huge body of the polar bear.

The mechanical arm of the medical robot accurately cut the fur soaked in blood, revealing the shocking wound.

The anesthesia hook deeply embedded in the muscle glowed faintly under the scanner.

"This damn thing," Su Wudeng gritted her teeth, it hurt just looking at it.

"Even the barb is specially made!"

Her eyes turned cold as she watched the mechanical arm carefully clamp the metal barb and peel it off from the flesh bit by bit.

With every movement, the polar bear would tremble unconsciously.

Su Wudeng's heart was clenched.

Finally, the blood-stained barb was completely removed, and the torn muscle tissue was still attached to the fierce spikes.

"Injecting antidote..."

The lavender medicine was slowly injected into the polar bear's blood vessels, dispelling the erosion of the anesthetic toxin.

Followed by a series of prompts and operations.

Su Wudeng didn't breathe a sigh of relief until the wounds finally began to be sutured and the polar bear's treatment was completed.

But she soon became worried again, because the emperor penguin's injuries were more serious. Hun Shen was

in worse condition than she thought. Its mental strength was almost exhausted, and its body temperature was abnormally low.

"Warning! Severe inflammation of the wing joint..."

"Internal bleeding..."

"Spinal implant infection..."

"Multiple surgical wounds have been torn again..."

A series of shrill alarms sounded, and the data on the holographic screen flashed a dangerous red.

Su Wudeng looked grim. How could this happen?

"The spinal implant is being processed as a priority..."

The robotic arm precisely peeled off the feathers on the emperor penguin's back, and a sickly blue metal chip suddenly appeared on the spine.

The tissues around the chip were already severely rotten. Su Wudeng clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms. No wonder it was in so much pain that he could hardly move.

"The implant is being removed..."

"Tissue necrosis has been detected..."

"Performing local debridement..."

One reminder after another sounded, and Su Wudeng's eyes were a little red.

After an unknown amount of time, the alarm finally subsided.

Su Wudeng then realized that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

The emperor penguin was lying unconscious on the bed. Most of its feathers had to be cut off due to the surgery, revealing the wounds.

Su Wudeng couldn't bear it and turned her head away, stepping forward and gently stroking the emperor penguin's head, "You are really the strongest cub~"

"In the future, cub will never be injured so badly again, sister will protect you."

"Okay?"

The emperor penguin was in a deep coma, Su Wudeng gently leaned over and kissed it.

"After that, there is still a long recovery period to go through."

"But it doesn't matter, sister will always be with you."

After observing the cubs for a while, Su Wudeng quietly closed the door and let them have a good rest.

The detailed physical examination report done before was also transmitted to her optical computer.

She nestled in the sofa, covered with a blanket, and began to study it carefully.

The report showed not only scars from the escape, but more of the trauma left by man-made experiments.

She was not mistaken, it was an experiment.

In the report, under the polar bear's fur, there were countless surgical scars crisscrossing vertically and horizontally, some of which were new and fierce red, and some had turned into dark marks.

Just looking at the photos makes people feel distressed.

The next picture was of the polar bear's neck. There was a number engraved on the skin: EX-0329.

If she guessed correctly, this should be the number of an experiment.

The same was true for the emperor penguin. On the inside of its wings, neat surgical sutures were clearly visible, as if it had been repeatedly cut and sutured.

And there were signs of healing after multiple fractures on its bones.

"Is it a biological experiment? Or for what?"

Scrolling down the examination report, there was more conclusive evidence.

Many unknown drugs were detected in the polar bear's body, and there were wounds in the muscle tissue that had been repeatedly sampled.

"What kind of experiment is this that requires this repetition..."

The emperor penguin had undergone surgery to reshape its wing joints, and there were traces of minimally invasive surgery on its internal organs. A monitoring device had been implanted in its spine.

Su Wudeng suddenly thought of something, "It should be the metal chip that was just removed during the surgery."

"So that's it..." Her eyes froze, "Those poachers were able to locate their positions so accurately in the blizzard and determine that they were under the ice cave. It turned out that it was not the wolves that were able to locate them so accurately, but these chips that were constantly sending signals!"

So...

Su Wudeng frowned. Those poachers were just executors, a sharp knife in someone else's hand.

And the real culprit behind this was someone else.

Maybe in a secret laboratory on the ice field, there are people who are conducting cruel experiments on the lives of pets!

She looked at the wooden table in front of her, on which were the things she had searched from the poachers.

Her sight fell on a metal token, engraved with a familiar cloud symbol.

She had seen exactly the same one before, when she rescued Lingnailu.

"They are so far apart... but behind them is the same poacher organization..."

"And their footprints span across various maps, forests, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, ice fields..."

She built a map in her mind, and red dots lit up one after another, forming a huge network.

This is not an ordinary poaching organization, Su Wudeng realized, this is a complete underground experiment chain.

They capture various pets all over the world and conduct some kind of systematic experiment.

"But why?" she murmured to herself, "Why conduct the same experiment on these completely different species?"

She stood up suddenly: "Unless they are looking for some common characteristics."

"Snow Crystal Cat... Frost Blade Snow Leopard... Lingnai Deer... Raptors... Polar Bears... Emperor Penguins..."

Su Wudeng was silent.

The answer is simple, it is the power of pets.

A power that is far stronger than that of humans and is not satisfied with driving.

It is very likely that this polar region is one of their important laboratories.

Wait...

Su Wudeng suddenly realized that if all her speculations were correct, did it mean that there are more pets imprisoned in these places and suffering inhuman torture?

She felt her throat dry and her heart pounding.

Just like what the polar bears and emperor penguins experienced.

"I can't leave."

She wanted to stay here and investigate. If there were other laboratories on the ice field, she would destroy them all and rescue those pets.

But now she could only wait for the emperor penguins and polar bears to wake up.
