I have a wildlife zoo

Chapter 246: Everyone in the country knows it!



"Ahhhh!"

The wild boar panicked and let out a loud squeal as it burst out from the bushes.

Its small brain was filled with great confusion; what on earth was attacking it, and why did it feel like its strength was fading bit by bit?

If it could speak, it would surely say, "Young man, you're not fighting fair, ambushing me with an anesthetic dart, is that right!"

Fang Ye shouted like the leader of a band of bandits, "Brothers, chase, drive it into a corner, don't let it escape onto the road! Be careful not to get hit!"

"Oh!"

Seeing such a large group of people chasing after it, the wild boar ran frantically, the syringe stuck in its butt bobbing with each running stride.

But its speed was clearly slower than before!

The faster it ran, the slower it became, feeling increasingly drowsy, its eyelids so heavy that it longed to close them, encountering people blocking its path but unable to summon the heart to resist, it simply changed directions to flee.

Gradually its steps faltered, its body began to sway, and it was cornered into a section of the neighborhood.

Lying on the ground, it had no energy left to even grunt, just straining to keep its eyes wide open to deter the people surrounding it with its gaze.

With each breath, its body trembled and shook with tiny, high-frequency vibrations, wobbling but continuously fighting against the overwhelming drowsiness.

Staring at the bipedal beasts surrounding it from a few meters away, it showed a look of despair and unwillingness.

It tried hard to lift its head but gradually lowered it again, though its eyes remained wide open.

Drowsy, drowsy, drowsy, an intense sleepiness surged from every cell in its body!

The people patiently waited outside, and in the meantime, Su Ning took the opportunity to call his superior, "Hmm, the wild boar has been anesthetized, it hasn't completely lost consciousness, we're watching over it here! Okay, okay!"

Relieved by the call, the leader knew that the citizens were both curious and worried about the wild boar's intrusion into the city; now, they could finally announce that the issue was resolved and there was no need to worry anymore.

Fang Ye also called Old Wang, "Hey, Officer Wang, we've caught the wild boar."

Old Wang laughed on the other side, "You've been a great help! Indeed, you professionals are suited for this kind of situation."

"No trouble at all, just a part of our job."

Lin Ying glanced at the timer on her phone and said, "It's been 6 minutes now."

After Su Ning hung up the phone and saw this scene, she could not help but admire the wild boar's willpower, "Such strong determination, still not down yet?"

Fang Ye nodded, "Wild animals won't easily show their weakness. Even if they are in a poor state, they will keep up appearances, so it will stay like this until it goes down."

A few minutes later, Lei Zhi had already driven the vehicle over!

The wild boar looked the same as before, lying low with its head down, but the frequency of its body's tremors had decreased significantly.

Lin Ying couldn't help but move closer and gently tapped the wild boar with the long blowpipe. The boar could only weakly resist by raising its head, giving her a stubborn glance before letting it droop again.

Finally, after another minute had passed, it completely lay down on the ground, and Lin Ying's prodding with the blowpipe elicited no response.

Fang Ye called out, "Alright, let's quickly lift it onto the truck, and get it back to lock it in the enclosure!"

Lin Ying said, "I'll sit in the back of the truck to monitor the boar's condition, in case the anesthetic wears off and it jumps out on the road."

Fang Ye replied, "Okay, I'll go and talk to Old Wang again."

Su Ning chimed in quickly, "Then I'll also ask my leaders for permission to clear the way and escort you back."

...

They returned to the zoo without any issues, and by the time they arrived, although the wild boar was still asleep, its eyelids had begun to twitch.

Originally, the wild boar would have been kept in quarantine, but now, behind the veterinary hospital, a large number of new enclosures had been built, specifically designed for the treatment of rescued animals, and it was placed in one of these enclosures.

After the wild boar was captured, the situation had calmed down gradually.

However, the tea shop owner posted a video clip of about ten seconds, showing the wild boar's appearance on the internet. When netizens saw the wild boar running into the tea shop, powerfully knocking over a bunch of tables and chairs, and the shop employee's prompt reaction to flip and dodge the wild boar, they started a lively discussion!

"Hahaha! The pig's charge was so hilarious!"

"Even a wild boar wants to drink the first cup of milk tea of the autumn!"

"Is this the real 'pig milk tea'?"

"Pfft, I'm dying at the 'real pig milk tea' joke!"

"Man, I've lived in the countryside for over a decade and I've never seen anything like this!"

"What the heck, that wild boar can jump so high!!? It just leaped over the counter."

"Thank goodness the shop girl moved out of the way in time, otherwise it really would've been dangerous."

"If it were me there, I'd probably have been stunned on the spot."

"For real, it ran like a little tank, if it hit you, wouldn't you just break a bone right away?"

"It's just a small wild boar, not that dangerous, you're making a big fuss over nothing, wild boars can grow up to 500 kilos."

"That's still considered small? Congratulations on ranking first in keyboard boasting; go ahead and let it hit you to try it out."

"I'm curious if getting hit by a wild boar counts as a work-related injury? Can you claim workers' compensation for that?"

"Hahaha, I'm in class right now, and your comment just made me laugh till I peed a little."

"Don't know if you guys have ever tried wild boar meat, but it's really something special, super delicious if cooked right, very lean. And the thing is, it's not like you can get it whenever you want, it's precious and scarce."

"Reported, NMD, there are still people promoting the consumption of wild game these days."

"Are you sick? What's wrong with eating wild boar meat? It's delicious, don't agree then come at me, why don't you?"

"Just wondering, are wild boars protected animals?"

It just so happened that the "first cup of milk tea of the autumn" trend hadn't cooled down yet, and this wild boar incident, coupled with the milk tea, instantly went viral!

It wasn't just people from Linhai discussing it; the topic "#AWildBoarDashesIntoATeaShop" rapidly climbed to the top of Weibo's hot search list.

Now the whole country knew about its deed!

People were discussing all sorts of topics: the combat ability of wild boars, concerns about wild boars encroaching into cities, whether wild boars are protected animals, where the wild boar went, if it was caught, what should be done with it once captured, and whether it was edible or not...

A netizen dug out an official announcement from Linhai: "Look, the milk tea wild boar was caught by the police in collaboration with the staff from Linhai Zoo! It's been sent to the zoo."

"@Linhai City Wildlife Park @Linhai's Wu Yanzu (Fang Ye's Weibo username) Dear Zoo Director, how's the wild boar doing now?"

Netizens who knew Fang Ye started tagging him. He seldom used Weibo these days, only logging in when he had zoo photos to share. But with today's excitement, Fang Ye made time to read through the online discussions.

He replied: "The wild boar is now with us at the zoo. There's just a small scrape on its leg, nothing serious. It's quite late today, but I'll go live tomorrow to talk about it, and those interested can join our live broadcast to see the boar."
