Chapter 322 She's Here The roe deer's little head swayed back and forth like an out-of-control rattle, and its eyes gradually changed from initial certainty to a vortex of confusion.
Finally, the roe deer was completely confused by its own actions, so it simply gave up thinking and grinned at Xia Zhining with an incredibly憨厚 (honest and simple) smile:
[Hehe... I... I don't remember.]
Xia Zhining met its clear yet silly eyes and couldn't help but chuckle. She gently rubbed its forehead and said, "It's okay, you've already helped a lot, you little dazed one."
Unlike takins and camels, which have their own "biological navigation", roe deer often lack a sense of direction.
Its operational logic is based on "going with the flow" and "looking at the present moment".
When my nose smells something interesting, or when my eyes see something new, my legs will follow.
As for remembering where you came from? That's impossible.
Therefore, its activity trajectory is basically equivalent to "random walk", and it is not on the same track as those migratory bird masters who can cross half the earth without getting lost.
Although they usually roam in the woods and bushes near their homes, they rely entirely on familiarity with the terrain to find their way around.
"Oh, I bumped into that tree!" "Hey, I ate that grass before!" instead of having a precise map in their minds.
The worst part is that its emergency response plan is so poor that it makes you want to facepalm when it encounters danger.
Instead of sprinting in one direction, they either start "spinning around in the magic of love" or frantically run back to the place where the accident happened.
The result is often that the predator doesn't shake them off, but the predator gets disoriented and lost.
It's a miracle that this stubborn roe deer has survived to this day.
Silly roe deer are lucky; at least they've encountered a security guard who's always willing to rescue them.
Xia Zhining rubbed the roe deer's fluffy head.
The roe deer suddenly raised its head, its eyes lighting up: "Oh! Although I've forgotten where it ran off to, I remember clearly that the red fox was carrying a shiny tube in its mouth! It looked so beautiful in the moonlight!"
It will always remember the melon it didn't understand!
The roe deer pondered deeply, then its mind raced with a peculiar twist: [I'm so curious, is that tube filled with a smart drug?]
[If I eat this, will I become like a red fox, able to put on shoes and find my way around?]
"A shiny tube..."
Xia Zhining repeated it, her heart leaping in her throat—
Isn't this the storage tube for the stolen core biological reagent?
She immediately turned to Ji Shuyun and translated this crucial animal information at lightning speed: "Brother! How come a red fox has shoes?"
"Unless someone dressed it up, what it took was most likely the reagent!"
A bold and chilling conjecture surfaced in her mind: "Could it be that Professor Lin didn't do it himself, but instead used small animals to commit the theft?"
Ji Shuyun's expression hardened, and he quickly picked up on his sister's line of thought: "Professor Lin was able to develop a drug to repel animals, so he may also have mastered reverse biotechnology!"
"Using a certain inducer to drive an animal to act according to his instructions."
This hypothesis, like a bolt of lightning, instantly illuminated all the mysteries!
Xia Zhining felt a chill run down her spine.
No wonder the reagent theft was so meticulously planned, with almost no trace of human intervention found at the scene.
If there is a "director behind the scenes" who can precisely control animals, then the "actor" who carries out the theft is itself a red fox that appears and disappears without a trace, or even other animals.
