Super Zoo

Chapter 80 People and People

The tent was said to be pitched by the water's edge, but in reality it was still fifty to sixty meters away from the water. So when they heard Liang Shi's cries, everyone was startled, casting curious looks toward the entrance. Professor Chu even slammed his chopsticks down hard on the table, exclaiming angrily, "What finless porpoise? Can finless porpoises just crawl up to the shore on their own? This kid is getting more and more muddled!"

With a rustle, the tent flap was swept aside, and a soaking wet Suming walked in from outside, followed by a shocked Liang Shi.

All eyes were focused on what Suming was cradling in his arms!

In Suming's arms, he held a finless porpoise on each side. The two youngsters, probably frightened by the sight of so many people, burrowed hard into Suming's chest, revealing only four small black eyes that looked around with curiosity, yet also a hint of wariness, at everyone inside the tent!

Mr. Song was stunned, his chopsticks falling silently to the ground while the bowl of soup in his other hand tipped over, spilling hot soup all over him!

With his face flushed with excitement, Liang Shi pointed to the finless porpoises in Suming's arms, stammering as he yelled, "Tea.. Teacher... finless porpoises, finless porpoises, look, two baby finless porpoises!"

It was only then that everyone seemed to awaken from a dream. Professor Chu glared fiercely at Liang Shi, "I'm not blind, quit your yelling!"

Seeing Suming, Mr. Song let out a long sigh of relief, the weight finally lifting from his heart, before turning his interest to the baby finless porpoises.

"How come there are two youngsters? What about the one in the video?" Mr. Song asked.

"I found them in an abandoned lake nearby, a family of three. The big one is injured; I couldn't move it, so I brought the two youngsters back first. We need to prepare the boat quickly and go save the big one," Suming spoke as he gasped for breath.

He had carried the two hefty 'babies' out of the water, up to the tent, and he too was exhausted.

"A family of three! Goodness, if you don't open shop for three years, when you do, it's a boom! How many years has it been since we've encountered wild finless porpoises? And now, not only have we found them, but an entire family at once! Su, you've made a great contribution! Wahahaha!"

Professor Chu suddenly burst out laughing like a madman, throwing his head back while his wild hair danced around.

The others were also smiling from ear to ear.

From a biological perspective, discovering three wild finless porpoises at once is of significant importance for research and conservation.

Seeing that Suming didn't speak immediately, Professor Chu thought that Suming was reluctant. After all, the river dolphins were not personal property, but "national" assets, and it seemed somewhat unreasonable to ask Suming to sacrifice his personal interests to take care of the river dolphins.

"Su, don't worry too much. Since we found the river dolphins, the authorities will definitely allocate funds. Rest assured, I won't let you suffer any personal loss!" Professor Chu said earnestly.

In fact, what Suming was thinking about wasn't the issue of funds at all. No matter how big the appetites of the two small river dolphins were, how many fish could they eat? Compared to the entire Shuijun Lake, it was a drop in the bucket; at the worst, he'd earn a few thousand less.

Even if Mr. Song and the others hadn't mentioned it, Suming was planning to take the initiative and offer to temporarily house the river dolphins in Shuijun Lake. He was thinking about more distant matters.

Now that Professor Chu had also taken the initiative to promise "subsidies", Suming naturally had no hesitation, immediately nodding his head: "Of course there's no problem, protecting animals is everyone's responsibility!"

"Good, young man, you're conscientious!" Professor Chu patted Suming's shoulder heavily.

These old fellows had been toughened by going to the countryside, their hands were frighteningly strong, and Professor Chu, fuck, was like someone who had practiced the Vajra Palm technique, sending Suming staggering with one slap, his teeth clenched in pain.

"Meep meep..." The small river dolphin started calling out in dissatisfaction at Chu, even opening its mouth as if trying to scare Chu. But the round little fellow was too cute, and when it got angry, it didn't look fierce at all, but rather it made everyone laugh heartily.

After making their decision, the investigation team rushed back to the zoo overnight. Su allocated a roughly four to five mu area of water at the northeastern corner of Shuijun Lake for the family of three river dolphins to live temporarily. The mother dolphin couldn't move around freely for the time being and was placed in shallow water. Find more chapters on m_v l|e

Professor Chu was initially worried and scooped up some water to sniff under his nose, then his eyes brightened and he exclaimed, "Song, when did the water quality of Shuijun Lake become so good?"

"It's all thanks to these young people!"

Mr. Song stretched his hand to pat Suming's shoulder, but seeing the situation "turning sour", Suming twisted his waist and dodged.

Mr. Song's hand stopped mid-air, and he let out a hearty laugh, pointing at Suming and saying, "Chu, in my opinion, we old bones should almost let go now and let the young ones take on the responsibilities!"

Professor Chu looked at his direct student Liang Shi.

Liang Shi was squatting by the water, staring at the large river dolphin with a silly grin on his face.

Professor Chu then looked at Suming, sighing in frustration and saying helplessly, "Ah, you can't compare people with one another!"
