Super Zoo

Chapter 454 Target: Baghdad

Mrs. Tong was nearly scared out of her wits!

The zoo director had only just returned to normal a few days ago, so why was he thinking about zoos in the Middle East again? Hadn't he said with absolute certainty just half a month ago that there was a war going on there, and it was absolutely impossible to go?

"Director, you..." Mrs. Tong originally wanted to ask directly, 'Are you encountering any troubles? Please don't get any bad ideas,' but as the words reached her lips, she couldn't bring herself to say them outright, so instead, she asked, "Have you been arguing with Nangong lately?"

"Nope, we're getting along great!"

Indeed they were, just yesterday afternoon he had excitedly made a date with Nangong at the city's grand hotel.

Before setting out, Suming first visited the reptile house in the zoo, which housed two giant tortoises, a male and a female.

Once last year at noon, as he passed by, he saw the male tortoise lying on top of the female, emitting very loud cries, just like slaughtering a pig. That day, the cries echoed through the reptile house for an entire afternoon, only stopping when the night fell completely dark, lasting for more than six hours in total...

Suming replaced his Spiritual Energy Storage Sphere with the tortoise's 'super stamina.'

The strength of an Asian elephant plus super stamina, combined with Suming's own profound mastery and understanding of various difficult technical actions, worked together like Zhao Zilong - the White Horse and Silver Spear, who in his day could charge through an army of a hundred thousand at Changban Slope without needing to catch his breath, like a powerful bulldozer flattening the enemy's position...@@@@

The specifics of the battle need not be described, suffice it to say that today Nangong took leave from work to rest at home.

Economically comfortable, intimately close, harmonious private life, his relationship with Nangong couldn't be better.

Taking the newspaper from Mrs. Tong and glancing at it, the news about the Syria Zoo was sparse and didn't seem noteworthy, so Suming simply went online to look it up.

"I've spent my life feeding bears and tigers in the zoo, savoring a tranquil life free from worldly strife..."

"Then what's the use of having spiritual power? You live almost like Uncle Wang, who moves bricks at the door..." the grandson would pout and say.

Ptooey! Suming refused to be that kind of person!

By then, he would say, "Your grandpa fought tigers in the mountains and captured dragons in the seas, strolled carefree through war-torn battlefields, did backflips and somersaults in gloomy and terrifying tombs; in human society, I was a hero respected by tens of thousands, in the animal kingdom, I was the king of all creatures! My enemies who opposed me all weep with regret in their graves, fighting fierce beasts, fighting formidable foes, fighting terrorists; people gave me the joyous nickname 'Little Overlord,' and I've lived a life with no regrets! If only the heavens could grant me another five hundred years, I would take you to conquer outer space, catching a couple of Martian girls from 'Buy-or-Die-Star' for you as child brides..."

So he decided to go to the Middle East.

After the passion subsided, it was time for reason to take the stage.

If he was going, he still needed to choose a relatively safer spot, after all, his goal wasn't to go to war.

He went online, pulled up a map and, in conjunction with current news, conducted his research.

He ruled out other countries in the Middle East for the time being; in peacetime, the cost of purchasing animals from those rich proprietors was too great, and he didn't have that much money. His options were narrowed down to Iraq and Syria.

Large tracts of land in both Iraq and Syria are currently occupied by IS, which established some sort of Islamic Country, purely a terrorist state, and definitely a no-go zone.

The situation in Syria was more complex, with territories divided amongst rebels, Kurds, the military, IS, and the Al-Qaeda Terrorist Organization, where the government army actually controlled less than one third of the country;

Iraq was somewhat better, after several years of the United States'... guidance, the government, whether in playing politics or engaging in military affairs, had greatly improved compared to Lord Saddam's era, with the government army controlling most of the country, including the capital, Baghdad, except for some IS regions and a handful of Kurds in the north.

"Set the target, Baghdad!"
