Super Zoo

Chapter 102 : 102 Freedom

Wolf King still lacked the ability to express his thoughts as precisely as humans, but he possessed the intelligence of a child of several years old, was capable of simple reasoning, and had improved intellectually with the help of Suming and Friends of the Animals after some time of interaction.

During this time, he had been howling to Suming, conveying a simple message: freedom.

Freedom is something ingrained in the bones of all wild animals, who would rather endure hunger and cold, battle with nature and humans, and fight other ferocious beasts than to be kept in cages as pets for people's amusement.

The Wolf King and his mate were old and had lived in the zoo for many years. Even if they went to the wild, they most likely wouldn't adapt and wouldn't survive.

But it was different for the wolf cub; it was still young and fully capable of adapting to life in the wild, returning to the vast nature instead of spending its lifetime in this iron cage, being gawked at by people.

No parents in the world would ever wish for their children to be destined from birth to live their entire lives devoid of freedom, trapped in a cage.

Wolf King's gaze was icy as he looked at Suming.

"Old buddy, if you're asking me for a favor, can you give me a more friendly look? Can you stop being so cool and pretending to be Ximen Chuixue all the time?" Suming squatted side by side with the Wolf King on the steps of the Wolf Pen, glanced at the Wolf King, and said with irritation.

Wolves naturally have that chilling gaze and are not good at expressing emotions, even when they look at their cubs, they still wear that same expression.

The fact that the Wolf King 'condescended' to squat next to Suming like a large dog was already showing him a lot of face. Occasionally tourists passing by the Wolf Pen were amazed by this scene and would take out their phones to snap photos.

"Wolves aren't in a good mood today; no pictures! Those who are just hanging around, go row boats and ride fish instead!"

Suming waved his hand to shoo away the tourists like flies, used his spiritual power to communicate with the Wolf King, and tried to calm its mood first. The Wolf King was already in his twilight years and wasn't very healthy; the last thing he needed was to become sick from worry.

In theory, training animals to return to the wild is also one of the responsibilities of a zoo, and as long as there is a suitable method to return the wolf cub to the wild, Mr. Song, the zoo director, wouldn't oppose it.

"That is a wolf! Don't be fooled by its size now; it won't be long before it can harm people!" Mr. Song said.

Mr. Song said, "Suming, if I have you with them, you should be reassured, right?" Suming said this while casually picking up a water bottle, and with a smile, he filled Mr. Song's cup with water.

Mr. Song hesitated for a long while, finally agreeing reluctantly, "Su, don't cause any trouble. If something doesn't seem right, lock the wolf pups back up immediately!"

"Don't worry, it's just a small wolf! With you overseeing the zoo, even a dragon would have to lie down obediently, let alone any jackals or leopards."

"Quit the fooling around. You're always up to something. Shuijun Lake has just started flourishing, and now, here comes the issue with the wolf pups, keeping this old man on tenterhooks."

"Heh heh, with you at the helm, our zoo's ship won't capsize!"

After getting Mr. Song's approval, Suming felt like he had a powerful talisman in hand, and he went back to the Wolf Pen to pick up the young wolves.

The Wolf Pen was Mr. Peng's territory. After giving him a heads up, Suming took the wolf pups out directly.

The Wolf King and his mate did not behave like most parents whose children were leaving on a long journey, fussing over them for miles. The old couple glanced at their offspring icily through the bars of the cage, then turned away simultaneously and went back to their den as if the pups taken away were the children of someone else.

"Aroo..." The young wolf lay on the concrete steps outside the Wolf Pen, and let out a somewhat pitiful howl toward its parents in the dark distance.

Seeing that its parents were unmoved, the young wolf tilted its head looking at Suming, its little mind unable to understand why mom and dad didn't want it anymore.

Growth inevitably comes with growing pains. Suming snapped his fingers at the little guy, turned, and slowly walked away, casually saying, "Come on, a wolf must learn to grow up on its own..."

Having been walked away from by Suming, and ignored by the Wolf King and his mate, the young wolf stood on the steps, looking around bewilderedly, first this way, then that way.

A gust of wind blew, and the young wolf instinctively shrank its neck, with its small ears suddenly standing up. It looked back at the Wolf Pen with some reluctance as if it had made up its mind, then turned its head, and with its four little legs, it ran towards Suming, picking up speed as it went.
