Chapter 290: Chapter 290: Urgent Mission (Requesting Monthly Pass)
Black Golden Cat?!
That’s a color pattern only found over by the Grand Canyon, how did it end up here?
Could it really be coming for him? Was he that famous?
The Black Gold Cat quickly leaped down from the tree and approached Chen Ying, “Two-legged beast, give a chance?”
“What chance? What do you want to do?”
“I don’t want to do anything, just want a chance to introduce us, you know? She’s so beautiful, and I’m so handso; our kids would definitely be beautiful and handso too.”
Where did this mongrel co from? Drag it out and bury it!
The Black Gold Cat wasn’t actually entirely black.
Like the Black Panther, you could see patterns on its body, only the color was too deep to be seen clearly in poor light.
There’s also a type with a black base and golden spots, which the locals call the Mahua Cat, seemingly the offspring of the Golden Cat and the Black Golden Cat.
Chen Ying thought for a mont, then took the Black Gold Cat to find the Golden Cat Lady.
He didn’t truly intend to introduce the Black Gold Cat to her as a mate. Honestly, despite the Black Gold Cat’s strong capabilities, its temperant was too sleazy, not even a match for the Golden Cat Lady’s foot hair.
The female felines, who were at the tea party exchanging parenting tips, turned their heads upon seeing Chen Ying return with a peculiar-looking guy in tow.
“I, uh, it wants to get familiar with the environnt. I have so work to do, so you guys chat with it.”
Faced with the Golden Cat Lady, he could not bring himself to say the words “blind date” and simply used work as an excuse to flee.
Leopard Sister knew him too well, she scoffed softly and gave a side-eye to Chen Ying’s hasty retreat.
Anyway, this black guy wasn’t here for her, so she just watched the drama, ate lon seeds, and stayed alert.
Lady Tiger had already lain down next to the children, snacking on lon seeds without letting her guard down.
anwhile, Jinya, who was chatting with the Golden Cat Lady, glanced at the Black Gold Cat, then at Little Jin.
“How much sun did this guy soak up to turn so dark? Do you want to co with to the mountain to live for a while, see if you can lighten up a bit?”
Her gaze held a touch of sympathy, causing the Black Gold Cat to roll its eyes and swallow the curse that had reached its throat.
Although Chen Ying had run off, he stopped after a distance and pricked up his ears to listen for a few minutes, only relaxing when he was sure he heard no roars from the group.
Those fellows were each rather fierce in battle; if a fight broke out, the Black Gold Cat would definitely end up being the one thrashed.
He wasn’t too worried about the safety of the kids; with Lady Tiger, Leopard Sister plus Jinya and Little Jin around, even a rowdy fight between the two Golden Cats wouldn’t impact the babies.
But still, he felt a little bad for the Golden Cat Lady.
After escaping the large-scale feline team building event, he returned to the monitoring station to find Ying Bo helping move items.
They had just received today’s supply shipnt, which they’d have to rely on for the next half month.
“Mr. Chen, we’re having pan-fried egg noodles for dinner, do you want to add so leafy greens?”
The leafy greens that ca with the supply shipnt were the durable kind, like Chinese cabbage and round cabbage; the ss hall chef simply planted a row behind the house using the foam boxes the supplies ca in.
Scallions, ginger, garlic sprouts were essential, hot peppers and tomatoes were also planted, plus six boxes dedicated to bok choy and Shanghai green.
“Today, we can just pick so more. The next harvest will have to wait at least three days. Later on, as the weather gets colder, it will take even longer. I’m considering asking soone to bring so PVC pipes so we can build a vertical vegetable rack ourselves, to be placed next to the kitchen warehouse without taking up space.”
The vertical plant rack had another advantage: ease of mobility.
Place it indoors when it gets cold, outside when it’s nice, and if there was no space inside, just build a fra out of bamboo and drape waterproof cloth over it to make a greenhouse.
Put a water heater inside and you’re set.
Chen Ying listened to the chef for a while and had a thought: the vertical plant rack might co in handy for the Unfrozen River Protection Station and the River Source Protection Station.
They had greenhouses there too, but they were small, and due to the large number of people and heavy workload, maintaining them was an issue.
It was manageable in the sumr with family mbers helping, but co winter, the problem beca more apparent.
During the al, Chen Ying made a video call to Yin Li to discuss the situation there, mainly to find out how the Little Lynx was doing.
Hearing that Little Lynx was doing quite well, Chen Ying felt slightly relieved.
Discussing the greenhouse and vegetable growing, Yin Li chuckled and, carrying his phone, ran to the side; after a few minutes, a brand-new mobile panel house appeared in his view.
“What’s that?”
“The families of those three rescued college students donated it. It wasn’t entirely their own money; it seems they made a targeted donation through so foundation. For details, you’d have to ask Duanmu.”
Having not been online for a while, his phone nearly froze when he finally logged into the small group.
He scrolled from start to finish, Duanmu didn’t explain the origins of the greenhouse very clearly, but it was pretty much confird to be a donation organized by the parents of the two college students.
As for why Yin Li ntioned three students, another girl’s parents sought out the families of the two affected students to plead, and after so negotiation, the parents made a donation to the foundation, obtaining the students’ letters of forgiveness.
As for Blue haired, she’s now pedaling a sewing machine by day and crying behind bars at night.
Although it was the parents who arranged the donation, all four unmanned conservation stations received one, evenly distributed.
Chen Ying posted a few photos and videos in the group, and before he could speak, Xiao Song’s call ca through.
“Brother Ying, I’ve sent the latest dical report for Little Lynx to your email. The situation is a bit better than we thought. If we can maintain this level, surgery might not be necessary.”
Not needing surgery was the best outco.
Every creature’s heart and brain are the most crucial organs; unless absolutely necessary, it’s best to avoid surgery.
Xiao Song had sent several other cases, most of which were related to orthopedics.
Without a choice, in the wilderness, grasslands, and mountain areas, animals either get bitten to death or hurt their bones while fleeing and wait to die.
Those lucky enough to be rescued were a very small part.
“When will you co over, Brother Ying? The last ti I went out with the patrol officer, we found a den of tiger marmots; they were incredibly efficient at rooting out rat nests.”
Xiao Song wanted to find Chen Ying’s help to move the den of tiger marmots.
“The rodent problem at the Protection Station here is too severe. My lab almost got wrecked last ti.”
The house cats can’t win against the rats, which is very frustrating.
“What about those desert cats?”
“Ah, because so people made frivolous comnts, the larger two were sent away, saying that they would be released into the wild once trained to hunt. The current ones are still small, feeding on milk every day; how can they catch any mice?”
Chen Ying laughed and promised her that after setting everything up on his end, he would hurry over.
He had just hung up the phone when he saw Dao ihua sitting opposite him, watching him.
“When did you get here?”
Chen Ying asked in surprise and glanced around; everyone seed not at all surprised by her arrival.
“I just arrived, delivering a batch of experintal supplies. I also ca to take you back. Professor Bai ntioned it to you before, didn’t he? Soone wants to ask you to make a house call.”
He had ntioned it, but Chen Ying didn’t take it seriously.
His skills might rank among the first batch of young doctors in China, but overseas, he had no reputation at all. Why would they invite him?
“It’s from ‘Panthera,’ a wild felid conservation organization that exchanges technical information with our dostic M alliance. They’ve sent a request for assistance.”
Dao ihua’s expression was a bit grave as she took out a tablet and handed it to Chen Ying.
“Professor Careyes is currently undertaking a conservation research project on West African lions. A little issue has co up with the lion pride she is observing, and she needs your assistance.”
(It feels like a vagrant)
Chen Ying stared blankly at Dao ihua.
Neither his academic nor his professional life had ever involved lions.
There were no big cats like lions in China, so how could he offer any assistance?
“I’ll explain the details on the way. We need to leave now.”
Dao ihua stood up, picked up her backpack, and urged him with her eyes to pack his bags quickly.
“Hold on, you’ve got to give so ti. I need to settle things with Jinya and the others, and I haven’t been back to the ergency station for a long ti. My clothes…”
“Sorry, we really don’t have much ti. It would take at least two days to go back and forth to the ergency station at the fastest speed. There are two experts traveling with us, and the flight ti has already been set; we can’t change it. The leadership said that unless you hadn’t left the mountains, you’d have to participate in the mission no matter what.”
Chen Ying frowned as he was about to speak when Dao ihua’s phone rang. After she answered, her expression imdiately tightened.
“Sorry, Mr. Chen, we initially coordinated an international flight here. But we just happened to et a big boss who’s going to West Africa for business talks. After departnt coordination, he agreed to take our experts over there. Because his business negotiation is very critical and ti-sensitive, we must reach the provincial capital’s airport within four hours.”
“It’s really too late for you to go back and say goodbye to the animals. The helicopter to pick you up will arrive shortly. Why don’t you say farewell to Leopard Sister and the others first, and after I take you to the airport, I will return to the ergency station. Don’t worry about the work here.”
Is this not so kind of international joke?
From Dao ihua’s grave and urging expression, Chen Ying seed to grasp sothing.
“No problem, I’ll be right back.”
He said and then sprinted into the forest.
There was a strange atmosphere in the forest, but Chen Ying had no ti to inquire.
He rushed over to Leopard Sister, casually encircling Jinya’s neck.
“Leopard Sister, Jinya, I need to leave imdiately due to so urgent matters, and I don’t know when I’ll be back. Please help keep an eye on the ergency station.”
He looked back at the Golden Cat Lady squatting nearby, “Previously, Great Bai and Jiaojiao temporarily occupied a territory, but there’s still a male bear over there. Golden Cat knows the place; sorry for troubling you to check on it occasionally.”
Chen Ying then squatted in front of the Golden Cat.
“I’m sorry, I have to break my promise. Animals from another place are waiting for my help, and the situation is dire. I must leave imdiately.”
Golden Cat looked at him earnestly and owed softly.
“Go on, I can manage on my own.”
“ too, I can keep it company,” Jinya joined in. “I can let it sleep in my den.”
Chen Ying rubbed Jinya’s head.
It wasn’t that he was biased; who wouldn’t love such a warm and cozy big cat like Jinya?
Without the luxury of ti to say more, Chen Ying sprinted back.
Golden Cat gave Black Golden Cat a cold glance, then strutted into the forest.
“Since the two-legged beast has left, I shall stay here temporarily and wait for him.”
It had no overlap with Lady Tiger’s nu, so they could coexist peacefully.
As for Black Gold, if it dared to steal its food, it would have to brace for sharp claws!
anwhile, Chen Ying had just finished packing his personal items when he heard the sound of a helicopter landing.
