Chapter 87: The Group Photo of the Century

The wooden door opened*, and everyone rushed in excitedly, and instantly heard a burst of wows.

When the door opened, they were shocked to see a room full of cute pups!

The most visually striking thing was the snow-white Arctic fox in the middle. It was looking at the door vigilantly, its fluffy tail trembling slightly, and its clear eyes were full of spirit, but also a little timid. Seeing so many people rushing in, it subconsciously shrank back.

"Ahhh!" The students suppressed their excitement. It turned out to be an Arctic fox! It

was really beautiful!

That big tail and white fur were even more beautiful than the Arctic fox in the previous photo!

In addition to the Arctic fox, there was also a snowy owl on the wooden shelf above it.

The snowy owl tilted its head slightly, looking at the strangers in front of it. Its feathers were as white as snow, and the patterns were as beautiful as frost flowers in the polar regions.

The most attractive thing was its golden eyes, which were as beautiful as gemstones.

Just standing there with an elegant posture, people couldn't help but want to get closer.

"Oh my God! My blood tank is empty, the snowy owl is too beautiful!"

Jiang Man couldn't help but exclaimed in a low voice, holding Xue Qi's arm tightly, her eyes lit up.

But Xue Qi's eyes fell on the little polar bear farther away. It was clumsily holding a plush toy, and its round body was squeezed between two cabinets. It seemed to want to hide itself, but failed because its size was too conspicuous.

But it's even cuter, okay!

"Woo woo woo!" Xue Qi excitedly pulled Jiang Man's sleeve, "Look! It's a little bear!"

Zhou Liyang stared at the seals, their black and white fur was shiny and their big round eyes were blinking. Seeing so many strangers, he shyly buried his head in the water, leaving only half of his head to look secretly.

I can't stand it!

It's just like a dream! A room full of cute little ones!

However, at this moment, Tan Lun suddenly frowned when he found something wrong: "Wait..."

"The front leg of the Arctic fox... is this a bandage? Is it injured?"

"And the wings of the snowy owl, the other side is mechanical?"

"And this little polar bear, why is there so much hair loss on its body?"

The first sight of these cubs was so shocking that they only noticed that these cubs were cute and beautiful.

But once they looked closely, they found something wrong. These cubs actually had more or less injuries on their bodies!

Bandages... machinery... peeling off... The severity of the injuries varied, but they were all the same.

"These cubs..." Tan Lun's voice was trembling, and his eyes became complicated. "Shopkeeper Su, have they been hurt by humans?"

These students were not stupid. The injuries were so obvious that they could see it at once.

Everyone's eyes fell on Su Wudeng for confirmation.

Su Wudeng sighed: "You guessed right, they are victims of a special experiment."

"They are more or less injured, which is why I need your help to take care of them."

She paused and continued: "It is a fact that they have been injured, and they may not be able to fully recover in the future."

"If you think... there are psychological barriers, I completely understand."

She could probably guess that these students took the initiative to take care of the puppies because they wanted to make a contract with the puppies.

But everyone wants to raise healthy and beautiful puppies, not these injured puppies.

If they want to regret, she can understand.

She looked at the cubs tenderly, "It takes a lot of patience to take care of these injured little guys. I don't want them to be hurt again because of discrimination..."

"So, please understand, I hope those who choose to stay are sincere. If not, you can leave."

After she finished speaking, the cubs seemed to realize the change in the atmosphere and shrank back one by one.

The Arctic fox wanted to hide farther, but stumbled because of a leg injury and almost fell, groaning in pain.

The little polar bear hugged the plush toy tighter, huddled in the corner, and didn't dare to look up at the disgusting eyes in its memory.

Even the seals in the pool didn't dare to show their heads, and hid carefully in the water.

Many cubs subconsciously avoided the gazes of the crowd and hid timidly in the back.

Seeing this, the students were heartbroken. The cubs were right, but the people who hurt them were wrong!

"Su Wudeng, I want to stay!" Xue Qi was the first to have tears in her eyes. "In my eyes, they are the cutest cubs."

"Me too!" Jiang Man stepped forward. "Don't worry, owner Su. I will definitely take good care of the cubs and never let them get hurt again!"

She felt so uncomfortable when she saw the Arctic fox cubs were in pain and could only hug themselves and groan.

They are both Arctic foxes, but the foxes of the Beidi family are the most pampered and have everything they want. However, the poor fox cubs in front of them can only curl up in the corner. They should live happily!

"I want to!"

"Me too! I want to stay and take care of them!"

More and more people stood up.

Zhou Liyang clenched his fists: "Not only that, I will also find those who hurt the cubs and make them pay!"

"That's right! Look at the poor little ones in this room..."

"They are so scared that I don't know how much suffering they have suffered..."

Jiang Man slowly walked to the side of the Arctic fox, bent down, and carefully stretched out her hand: "Don't be afraid, little guy, I will take good care of you in the future, okay?"

The Arctic fox sniffed her fingers timidly, looked at Su Wudeng again, and saw the encouragement in her sister's eyes. It slowly stretched out its head and gently rubbed Jiang Man's fingers.

It can't let its sister down, it has to set a good example for the cubs!

Seeing this scene, the soft-hearted ones couldn't help but sob softly: "Wuwuwu, the fox cubs are so well-behaved."

"How could those people have the heart to hurt these cubs!"

"I've decided. I will protect these cubs and make them happy in the future!"

"Me too!"

Su Wudeng looked at these enthusiastic students and did not expect that they all chose to stay in the end.

"Since everyone is willing to stay," she said softly, "how about this - everyone is responsible for a little guy, taking care of it, and watching it get better slowly, okay?"

"Okay!"

"Don't worry, Su Wudeng!"

Su Wudeng turned her head to look at the cubs and called softly: "The cubs are all out, let's see who they like to play with, okay?"

"Of course," she also turned to the students and said, "You can also take the initiative to invite the cubs you want to take care of."

The cubs listened to Su Wudeng's words very much. As soon as she finished speaking, the little guys who were hiding everywhere seemed to feel the kindness of this group of strange humans and began to look over here quietly.

Since the sister said it was okay, doesn't it mean that these humans don't dislike them?

The first to react was the Arctic fox. It thought Jiang Man was leaving, so it quickly hooked its claws on her, its eyes full of anticipation. She was the one who came towards it first, so she must like it, right?

Jiang Man was so happy that she almost didn't react. She originally wanted to bring some snacks to improve her relationship with the Arctic fox, but she never expected that the Arctic fox would choose her directly!

The classmates looked at her with envy. This guy is so lucky!

Jiang Man immediately squatted down and carefully touched the Arctic fox's fur: "Little guy, you chose me, didn't you?"

"I'm so happy! I like you very much too!"

"I'll take care of you in the future, okay?"

The Arctic fox said shyly.

Jiang Man smiled so hard that her eyes were crooked. How could there be such a cute little fox!

On the other side, a chubby little seal twisted its body and slowly rubbed towards Zhou Liyang.

Its big round eyes blinked and its little head gently touched Zhou Liyang's hand.

"Oh, little seal!" Zhou Liyang squatted down, his voice trembling with excitement, "Do you want me to touch it?"

"You chose me?!"

Su Wudeng smiled and nodded beside him: "You can give it a name, it likes to act coquettishly and likes dried fish the most, but you can't feed it too much dried fish now, you have to slowly adjust it..."

"I know, I know!" Zhou Liyang gently touched the little seal's round head, and an idea flashed, "Then you can call it Yuanyuan, okay?"

At the same time, Xue Qi also took the initiative to walk in front of the little polar bear and asked softly: "Xiongxiong, are you willing to let me take care of you?"

The little polar bear subconsciously shrank back, but couldn't help looking at her curiously.

It seemed that he was moved, but still a little scared.

"It likes this doll the most," Su Wudeng came over and explained, "but the injuries on its body make it always unable to sleep well at night, so it feels safe to hold something in its arms."

Xue Qi's eyes were slightly red, and she took out a soft blanket from her backpack: "I brought this, you can use it as a quilt. Look, isn't it very soft?"

The little polar bear looked at the blanket with some expectation in his eyes. He stretched out his nose to smell the blanket, and then his eyes lit up. What a warm breath!

He actually took the initiative to move a step towards Xue Qi.

In the end, the little polar bear decided to accept Xue Qi. Xue Qi named it Tuan Tuan, which means peace and reunion in the future.

Tan Lun stood by the shelf, his eyes lingering on the wings of the snowy owl for a long time.

The junction between the mechanical wings and the pure white feathers was a little red. Presumably, every movement would bring unspeakable pain, right?

He subconsciously touched the tool bag he carried with him.

Three years of mechanical major, two years of biomedical minor, maybe... maybe he can really help this stubborn little guy.

"Are you willing..." Tan Lun squatted down, looked up at the cold Snowy Owl, and his voice was unprecedentedly gentle, "Let me help you adjust your wings? I know it may make you very uncomfortable now, but I want to try, maybe it can allow you to fly again."

"At least, it can allow you to no longer endure the pain and torture brought by mechanical wings."

Tan Lun was not the first one to choose Snowy Owl. Snowy Owl rejected many people. It does not need sympathy or mercy.

But only after hearing this, it turned its head and looked at Tan Lun.

Its golden eyes looked straight into Tan Lun's eyes, as if judging whether what this human said was true or false.

If a bird loses its wings and leaves the sky, it will lose the meaning of its existence.

Really... can it fly again?

There was some expectation in the eyes of the snowy owl, and it nodded slowly.

Soon, all the cubs found their caregivers. Although they are still a little reserved with each other, at least they all recognized each other.

The students liked them very much and felt that their cubs were very good, very good little cubs.

Su Wudeng looked at this scene and felt very relieved. She clapped her hands gently and said, "Now that everyone has made their choice, let me talk about the specific care matters."

"First of all, there are things to do every day. Since the cubs are still sick, we may need to take their temperature on time, record their physical condition, etc...."

"Also, there is wound treatment..."

The students recorded various matters seriously just like in class, and from time to time they looked at the little guys they were in charge of, their eyes full of responsibility.

After a long while, Su Wudeng finally finished speaking: "Okay, that's about it. You can always ask me more later."

"Do you have any other questions?"

Jiang Man raised her hand: "Su Wudeng, do we need to keep the process of taking care of the cubs confidential?"

She said embarrassedly: "I was thinking... Can we record the process of taking care of them? Post it on Starnet?"

The Arctic fox in Jiang Man's arms quietly pricked up its ears.

Su Wudeng pondered for a moment: "You want..."

"Yes!" Jiang Man nodded, "I want more people to see it."

"Although you said that those who hurt them have been punished, I still want others to see that even if the perpetrators have been punished, the injuries of the cubs are still there."

"I want them to see the cubs' hard work in healing. They are flesh and blood, they feel pain and fear, and their lives are as precious as ours."

"This may awaken the conscience of more people, and perhaps some injuries can be avoided."

"Yes," Tan Lun added, "recording their recovery process will also allow more people to understand them. If there are pets with similar experiences, perhaps someone will come to us for help."

Su Wudeng pondered for a moment. This is indeed the truth. Only by allowing more people to see, understand, and pay attention can we avoid the possible recurrence of tragedies.

"Okay," Su Wudeng agreed, "but you have to pay attention to the kids' thoughts~"

The students cheered: "Hehehe! Don't worry, Shopkeeper Su!"

They couldn't bear to let the kids feel sad!

...

Jiang Man was the first to post the video.

She had this idea the moment she saw the Arctic fox, and for this reason she specially asked Shopkeeper Su for a lot of information about the Arctic fox, but the more she learned, the more distressed she felt, and the stronger this idea became.

After everything was ready, she gently rubbed the Arctic fox's ears: "Are you ready, cub?"

The Arctic fox looked at her and called softly and affectionately: "Woo woo!"

Jiang Man smiled and lowered her head to kiss the fox cub, then turned on the optical computer recording function:

"Hello everyone, I'm Jiang Man, a student at Yushou University. Today, I want to share with you a special little angel-Yuebai."

The camera shook slightly and aimed at the docile profile of the Arctic fox.

"Don't you see that its eyes are beautiful? The blue one looks like beautiful fluorescence?"

"Actually..."

"It's project number A-7, the subject of the fluorescent gene fusion experiment."

"Those people want to use it to develop some kind of night vision drug..."

Jiang Man's voice choked: "There is still fluorescent substance left in its eyes, and it emits a faint blue light every night."

"These lights look beautiful, but they are scars that cannot be erased."

Yuebai seemed to feel her emotions and gently touched her hand with his claws.

"Besides that, you see, there are wounds on its front legs caused by the experimenters' abuse, which caused permanent damage to it, and it limps when it walks."

"But fortunately, the pet owner Su saved it, and saved many pets like Yuebai."

"I first met it because of Su's recruitment. At that time, there were too many injured cubs, and Su needed someone to help her take care of them."

"I happened to be nearby, so I met it."

"In fact, there is a big story here, but it has nothing to do with today's topic. If there is a chance in the future, I will tell you about it."

"Now let's get back to the topic, the first time I saw it."

"It hid in the corner, timid, but it was so beautiful, and my heart was struck at once."

"I thought, I must take care of it."

"So I took the initiative, I walked up to it and extended an invitation to it, I never thought Yuebai would actually respond to me."

"It actually took the initiative to stretch out its cute little paws to me... It was furry and gently hooked me."

"It wasn't my clothes that were hooked, it was my heart!"

"Can you imagine that scene? I still remember it clearly."

In the picture, Jiang Man couldn't help but gently pinched Yuebai's little paws.

Yuebai looked innocent, which made him even cuter.

Jiang Man continued to narrate slowly: "I'm really happy, I think I will take good care of it."

"So, come on, Yuebai, eat~"

The picture switched to Yuebai eating carefully.

"It loves to eat dried meat, but it can't eat too much now. Those experiments have damaged its digestive system."

"It always eats in small bites because it will feel uncomfortable if it eats too fast..."

Yuebai was eating rice attentively. Jiang Man gently touched its head: "Great, Yuebai ate a lot of rice today~"

"Actually, Yuebai has gotten much better now."

"Today is the seventh day since we met. Maybe when it gets better, or when the owner Su leaves, we will have to say goodbye."

"So, I want to record every moment of Yuebai's recovery."

"Maybe its eyes will always glow blue at night, maybe its legs will always be a little lame, but..."

"Yuebai will always be the most beautiful and brave little angel in my heart."

"It will no longer be experiment number A-7, it is Yuebai."

The video ends with a picture of Yuebai taking a nap on Jiang Man's legs.

The sun shines through the window onto its body, casting a warm halo.

As the countdown for the recording ends, Yuebai seems to have gotten a little too hot in his sleep. He hums and turns over, his soft fur gleaming in the sun. Within

just one hour of the video being released, it was forwarded tens of thousands of times.

It quickly became a hot topic, with countless people coming to watch it, and the comment section was flooded with comments.

"Ahhh! Yuebai is so beautiful!"

"Damn it! Why not me, wuwuwu, I want a cute Arctic fox cub too!"

"What! Didn't you go for an internship? Why did you suddenly change your mind and secretly go to take care of the Arctic fox?"

"Su Wudeng, I hate you! Why didn't you let me take care of such a cute cub!"

"Wuwuwu, that blue eye, is that a sequelae of the experiment? What kind of experiment can be so cruel!"

"It makes me so sad to see it eat so carefully! What on earth did the cub go through?"

"So where is this??? Such poor little guys, I also want to help!"

"No, you are all students, how can you take care of it? Give me the address and I will go to help you take care of it immediately!"

"...The abacus beads upstairs are hitting my face. It's obvious that the Arctic fox cub is being taken care of very well."

"That's right, look at it lying down and resting so peacefully, and even stretching, which shows that it trusts this person very much!"

"Wait! Did you notice that she was talking about the owner Su!"

"Fuck, is it the Su Wudeng from Neptune? He just saved a planet and now he is saving so many cubs?"

Seeing that the popularity was getting higher and higher, Jiang Man sent another message: "Thank you all for your attention. I will continue to record Yuebai's recovery process, and I hope everyone can pay attention to more cubs."

"Here are the cubs' accounts: @小海印圆圆, @小北饵熊团团, @白雪鸮归云..."

Each of these students created an account specifically for the cubs, and each of them posted their first recorded video.

This really excited the netizens.

"Oh my god! Why are there so many fans suddenly? They smell so good!"

"Great, Owner Su! I was wondering why you haven't posted any materials for your pampered kids recently. Turns out you went to the Ares Galaxy! And you did so many things secretly!"

"It's so funny. The people upstairs are so resentful when they heard this. Wait... I see the coordinates are from the Scott Galaxy?!"

"Woo woo woo! Owner Su! I just arrived at Neptune. Why did you run away again? And you didn't even post on the official blog! I actually heard about you on someone else's account!"

"Hahaha, I can't help but laugh out loud. It's so funny. The fans can't catch up with the owner even if they chase him everywhere (dog head.jpg)"

"We strongly request that Owner Su open a branch in the Ares Galaxy!"

"..."

Su Wudeng naturally also saw these comments. She thought with some guilt that it seemed to be true.

Recently, I have been busy taking care of these injured little ones in Snow Town, and I have no time to post any photos of the Chongaijia babies.

Moreover, the employees in the store are all on vacation, and no one even posts daily videos.

For fans, it is really like disappearing.

"How about..." She looked at the white snow outside the window, and suddenly an idea came to her.

She could follow General Chu's example and post a photo of her vacation, and then take some photos of the babies!

So soon, the latest material appeared on Chongaijia's official blog -

[Chongaijia: It's the Nth day of vacation, the sun is shining, and the snow scenery is beautiful~ The babies are having a great time! I hope everyone can spend every day happily with their little cuties at home [sun.jpg][photo of the cubs.jpg]]

The accompanying picture is a scene of the cubs playing in the snow:

Amber and Obsidian are chasing each other in the snow, their postures are strong, and their handsomeness and happiness cannot be concealed.

Aihua is holding a snowball and making a big snowman with Yingying. Yingying's tail is wagging gently, and she looks happy.

The polar bear and the emperor penguin are skiing together. The two cubs support each other, and their clumsy figures unexpectedly coordinate, sliding down the snow slope together, and they seem to be having a lot of fun.

The comment section was instantly boiling with excitement:

"Wow! It's the group photo of the century! Finally, we see our Aihua and so many cubs gathered together!"

"Amber is still as lively as ever, Obsidian is still as handsome as ever, Aihua is still as adorable as ever, Yingying is still as elegant as ever! Old fans are in tears!"

"Wait! Are that polar bear and emperor penguin new members? They look like they have a great relationship!"

"Owner Su is worthy of being the store owner. He has new pets wherever he goes!"

"Huh... wait... zoom in and look at the window over there in the cabin! Is there a figure over there?"

"Ahhh! Really! It's a little blurry, but it's definitely a figure!"

"So! Shopkeeper Su is not on vacation alone?! [Shocked.jpg]"

Su Wudeng: "...?"

Are all the netizens this year so sharp-eyed? !

Is it possible to tell from such a small shadow that it is a humanoid?

She helplessly held her forehead, and Brother Chu, she said she wanted to take a photo of the cubs, so why did she accidentally get caught in the photo.

To delete or not to delete?

If I delete it, I feel a bit guilty...

Su Wudeng thought for a while, forget it, let's just leave it like that. It didn't show its face anyway, and no one would recognize it.

At this moment, a comment was directly posted -

"Go check out Snow Owl Guiyun's account!"
