I have a wildlife zoo

Linhai City had never experienced a wild boar intrusion before, so the police were somewhat caught off guard.

After a moment of initial confusion, they remembered that it was probably a job for the zoo, but there was no established emergency communication mechanism between the two sides. In the end, it was Old Wang who made a call to Fang Ye.

Fang Ye then asked, "So, how heavy is the wild boar approximately?"

"Ah?" Old Wang was a bit puzzled, "What do you mean by that?"

Fang Ye explained, "We need to adjust the dose of the anesthetic based on its weight; if the dose is too high, it'll kill the boar, and if it's too low, it won't knock it out!"

"Ah, it's that complicated?" Old Wang suddenly felt a bit stunned, "Our people haven't arrived yet, should we take a photo for you when they do?"

Fang Ye said, "That's fine, we'll head out first, we can check its size and adjust the dosage on site, which isn't trouble."

Thinking about the time it took for his last trip to Qingshan Boulevard with Lan Li, "If we drive fast, we should be able to get there in about an hour!"

Old Wang said, "Tell me the model and license plate number of your zoo's vehicle. We can coordinate through the monitoring system to give you the green light all the way, to save some more time."

"Oh, alright! I'll send it to you when we get in the car."

After coordinating with Old Wang, Fang Ye made a call to Lin Ying, "Hello, Lin Ying, there's a wild boar in the city, and we're going to capture it. Get ready and meet at the veterinary clinic entrance!"

The veterinary team immediately got busy upon receiving the call. Colleagues prepared the blowpipe and anesthetic agents while Lin Ying quickly flipped through a book, checking the data on wild boars: "Mhmm, Zoletil, intramuscular injection 5.3mg/kg..."

She took a picture, grabbed the tools, and hurried downstairs.

Calls were made one after another!

Soon Lei Zhi arrived in a double-cab pickup truck to pick them up, which seated people in the front and could carry animals in the back. This vehicle was purchased specifically for the convenience of rescuing animals shortly after the veterinary hospital had been built.

Fang Ye really hadn't remembered the license plate number, but he took a look when the car arrived and then sent it to Old Wang.

After Lin Ying and Fang Ye got into the truck, Lei Zhi drove to pick up Meng Shi.

Getting into the truck, Meng Shi curiously asked, "Director, where are we heading? I didn't quite catch what you said on the phone. Are we going to catch a wild boar?"

"Yeah, somehow a wild boar has ended up in the city; it's locked in a KTV at Qingshan Boulevard," joked Fang Ye. "You'll be in charge of knocking it out later."

Meng Shi's fists, as big as clay pots, began to rub together in preparation, the muscles on his thick arms bulging as he said earnestly, "How big is the wild boar? If it's a small one, around a hundred pounds, I could knock it out, but if it's two or three hundred pounds, I think it'll take a few more punches."

Lin Ying couldn't help but tease, "Why would we need you to knock it out? What's the point of bringing anesthetic darts? Would I be a mere spectator?"

Meng Shi chuckled sheepishly, "I was just going along with the director for a laugh."

But his expression soon turned to one of confusion, "Right, director, if we're going to anesthetize it, why bring me along?"

"We need you to carry the wild boar!" Fang Ye said matter-of-factly.

Meng Shi looked at Fang Ye with a slight grudge, "Director..."

So I'm just the muscle, huh! Any two people could manage unless it's an unreasonably huge boar king.

Fang Ye laughed apologetically, "You were the first one who came to mind for this kind of thing."

Meng Shi, speechless, slumped back into his seat; after all, the director would call him for something as simple as buying a few pounds of vegetables, so he was already used to it.

In the staff group chat.

Zhang: "Just saw the director and his team leave in a hurry; what happened?"

Wang Bing: "Seems like they're going to catch a wild boar."

Yang: "They're having such an exciting time without me! I'm off today and really wanted to go watch!"

Fang Ye handed his phone to Meng Shi with a smile and indicated, "Look, some people don't even get the chance! Just treat it as a fun outing."

Lei Zhi was driving towards Qingshan Boulevard, speeding all the way!

...

A passerby saw the wild boar and reacted quickly; they were already holding their phone, so when they saw the boar charging forward relentlessly, they hurriedly shot a video and posted it to a group chat: "Holy shit, what's this?"

"Who's walking their dog without a leash? So annoying, what if it runs into someone at that speed."

"This doesn't look like a dog, though. Does it look more like a pig?"

"Has a wild boar run into the city?" someone guessed.

Although it had never happened in Linhai before, there had been such reports in the news!

Including Xiao Fang, the milk tea shop clerk, who took a few photos of the overturned tables and chairs and the cash register kicked onto the floor in a mess, and posted them to her Moments: "I was so scared, a wild boar charged into the shop today!"

"Shocked, is it real?"

"Sis, were you hurt?"

"Xiao Fang, are you alright? You should go to the hospital and check."

"Call the police, have you called the police?"

Seeing so much concern from friends and family, Xiao Fang quickly replied to everyone: "I'm fine, I'm fine, I dodged fast and have already called the police!"

A wild boar running into the city was indeed a novel event.

Xiao Fang's milk tea shop photos and the video taken by the passerby were quickly shared in various groups, along with a variety of up-to-the-minute updates.

The wild boar escaped from the milk tea shop! The wild boar almost knocked down a passerby! The wild boar ran into a KTV! The boss and the waitstaff ran out! The wild boar was locked up!

The passersby and the surrounding shopkeepers were eagerly watching the excitement in front of the KTV, holding up their phones, trying to peek inside to see if they could catch a glimpse of the wild boar.

If captured, posting it to Moments or Weibo to show off would likely attract quite a few likes.

Dee-woo~ Dee-woo~

After the police arrived and saw so many onlookers, they quickly started urging them: "Stop crowding around! It's just a pig, what's so extraordinary about it!"

A passerby muttered, "The pig isn't unusual, but I've never seen a live pig this big that can run."

"Right, and it's a wild boar at that!"

A police officer who had been communicating with his superior in the police car also got out and said to the people: "We've already notified the zoo. They'll come to take the wild boar away, so if you want to see it, go to the zoo later! Get moving, do what you need to do, you're blocking traffic here!"

A mix of persuasion and insistence finally got some of the onlookers to leave.

With the internet so developed these days, information spreads super quickly from one to ten and ten to a hundred.

Many of Linhai City's residents had learned about the wild boar that entered the city and were curiously discussing it. Where did the pig come from? Where was it going?

Someone said with certainty, "I don't know where the pig came from, but I know it's going to the zoo! The police just said so."

"It's been decided nice and clear!"

"The wild boar states, 'I just wanted to drink the first cup of milk tea of autumn!'"

As the incident fermented, the lively debate online grew increasingly heated, and the city administration started to feel uneasy.

So without waiting for Fang Ye and his party to arrive, the police sprang into action!
