Chapter 52 Wildlife Slaughterhouse
Chapter 52 Wildlife Slaughterhouse
Inside the factory, there are many iron cages of all sizes.
With his excellent night vision, Cang Nian could see that there were all sorts of wild animals in the iron cage.
Besides the tiger dad and tiger mom that Cangnian saw at first glance, there were also brown bears, lynxes, sika deer, and roe deer...
In the snowy mountains of Northeast China, most of the nationally protected animals can be seen here!
But that's not the scariest thing.
The most terrifying thing is that many of the cages were empty, and the area around the cages had a cement floor with a dark reddish-brown color that looked like rust.
On the open ground to the side, various animal pelts were stretched taut in bamboo frames and hung on racks.
There were also several tiger heads on the table, which appeared to have been treated in some way and looked like exquisite handicrafts.
In addition, you can find high-priced animal products from areas that operate outside the law, such as deer antlers, bear paws, and tiger teeth, all here.
Cang Nian even saw a pinkish-white powder in an iron bucket, and a half-eaten bone with the meat removed next to it.
He suspected it was powder made from tiger bones.
Seeing this, Cangnian understood why poachers insisted on using tranquilizer guns.
Firstly, live ammunition is strictly controlled in China and is difficult to obtain.
However, just like that, tranquilizer guns can not only obtain live animals, but also complete, high-quality pelts.
Although it is not unusual for animals to fight each other, even killing one's own kind.
Just yesterday, the tiger father killed a male tiger and even skinned it to use as a mattress.
But seeing these wild animals being slaughtered by poachers and made into various things still evokes a sense of desolation in me, like the sorrow of a rabbit mourning the death of a fox.
"We must rescue Tiger Dad and the others as soon as possible, or they will suffer the same fate!"
Seeing this, Cang Nian felt a chill run down his spine, and then a strong sense of urgency arose in his heart.
This is the base where poachers process their poached prey. The wild animals they poach are transported here, where they are slaughtered, processed, and made into finished products—all of this is done here.
Who knows, at daybreak tomorrow, someone will come and slaughter the tiger parents, turning them into things on the ground, on the table, or on the shelf.
Thinking of this, Cangnian quickly ran to the cage where Tiger Dad and Tiger Mom were keeping him.
Perhaps thinking the tiger cub was still nursing, the poachers locked the cub with its mother.
But looking at the thick, hard steel bars and the fine wire mesh, a sense of powerlessness welled up in Cang Nian's heart.
This is a cage that can keep the tiger dad in check; he has no chance of violently destroying it.
Next, Cangnian searched the entire factory but couldn't find a single key.
Clearly, the poachers did not leave the keys to the cages holding the wild animals here.
This made Cang Nian extremely anxious.
How to do?
If I can't rescue Tiger Dad and the others in one night, they'll probably be slaughtered tomorrow!
Ouch~!
Just then, an excited howl came from the side.
Turning around, I saw that Tiger Dad, who had been injected with countless anesthetic needles, had woken up and was excitedly calling out to me when he saw me.
However, when it got up, it realized it was locked in a cage, so it raised its paws and slapped them hard.
However, even though Tiger Dad's power is immense, he is still just a mortal.
Those poachers, risking their lives, certainly wouldn't cut corners on the quality of their cages.
Therefore, even after the tiger father's paws went numb, he couldn't bend the steel bars of the cage even a fraction.
However, the noise from the tiger dad woke up the tiger mom and tiger brother who were standing nearby.
Tiger Brother ran towards Cang Nian, but the wire mesh between the steel bars prevented it from passing through.
Ouch~!
Tiger Mom, after waking up for a moment and realizing that she was no longer in the jungle, felt a sense of crisis and looked at Cangnian, who was still outside the cage, urging him to leave.
Although they didn't understand the current situation, if even the tiger dad couldn't escape, then what they encountered must be very dangerous.
Since Cang Nian wasn't imprisoned, he should definitely run away as soon as possible and get away from this dangerous place!
Tiger Mom's ideas are always so simple.
Seeing that Tiger Mom was in danger herself, her first priority was to get her away from danger, which moved Cang Nian deeply.
This made him even more eager to rescue Tiger Mom and the others.
"But although this place is not remote, there is no one around, so no matter how much you shout, no one will notice."
It is estimated that during the day, the hunters would turn on noisy machines, pretending to be producing or processing things, to cover up the sounds of the imprisoned animals.
Furthermore, the fact that their own kind are killed, skinned, and dismembered in front of them, and that their cries cannot be heard, is why they are so numb.
"I definitely can't rescue Tiger Mom and the others by myself right now; I need to seek outside help..."
Cang Nian began to analyze the current situation.
"Have it!"
After a moment of thought, Cangnian had an idea.
"Ow~!"
Then, he looked at his tiger father, tiger mother, and tiger brother, and howled.
After understanding Cangnian's meaning, the three tigers nodded in unison.
Roar~!
Tiger Dad patted the cage and growled.
Do not worry!
Dad will definitely do it!
……
After leaving the factory, Cangnian memorized the location and then ran wildly towards the most bustling urban area nearby!
Although it was already night, adults had worked all day and children had been in school all day, so they would occasionally treat themselves to a nice evening after a long day of work.
Therefore, nighttime is not a time of silence for the city, but rather a time of even more vibrant revelry.
Upon arriving in the bustling, brightly lit area, Cangnian no longer concealed his whereabouts as before, but instead openly wandered around the streets.
The summer heat is intense, even at night, so the young women on the street are dressed quite lightly, with their white thighs and colorful, hot short skirts making it a bit overwhelming for the young man.
The only awkward thing is that his angle is a bit awkward; if he looks up, he can easily see under the girl's skirt...
"Hey~? Whose kitten is this? It looks so cute and chubby!"
"Uh... isn't that a tiger cub? I've seen it at the zoo, I can't be mistaken!"
Does Cannes have a zoo? I've never heard of it.
"Could it be wild? We're almost in the city center! How did it sneak in without being noticed?"
"Who cares how it got in, little tiger! So cute! Let me pet it, okay? Wow! It really let me pet it!"
Cang Nian's blatant appearance in the bustling city center was quickly noticed by pedestrians, and many people started talking about it.
One particularly bold young woman even crouched down and tentatively reached out her hand.
Cangnian wanted this effect, so he pretended to be curious and sniffed the young lady's palm, then obediently let her pat his head.
"Speaking of which... shouldn't wild tiger cubs be returned to the wild? Who's in charge of this kind of thing? The forestry bureau?"
"Who knows what the Forestry Bureau's phone number is? If there's trouble, we'll definitely call the police!"
At this moment, passersby chatting idly.
Upon hearing this, Cangnian's lips curled up slightly.
That's it!
