Super Zoo

Young people like Nangong Huang have a sense of justice in their bones. Although he is not a lover of animals, he can see that the animals he saw at the Yangchuan Zoo were all healthy, lively and cute. At first glance, he saw the scene in front of him. , suddenly became furious, pulled out the Colt pistol on his waist, and shouted at the zoo owner: "Old guy, you are too cruel, why do you torture them!"

The zoo owner was so frightened that he quickly hid behind him and looked at Adnan with a puzzled expression.

Adnan communicated with the other party in Arabic, while Lyudmila pressed Nangong Huang's gun and said expressionlessly: "This place has not been open for half a year. He did not eat these animals, which is already very noble. "

The zoo owner's words were translated, and he said dejectedly: "This lion was the last animal I bought. At that time, it still weighed 210 kilograms. Now it may only have less than 100 kilograms left..."

He raised his head and looked at Su Ming: "Rich sir, these animals are my only remaining property. If you are willing, buy them all. At least I can give my children a bite to eat."

He pointed to a igloo not far away. Behind the windows of the hut, several children's faces were revealed, looking here in horror with wide eyes.

"Of course, my boss is here to buy animals, but there are many zoos in Baghdad. These animals of yours are almost dead. If you buy them back, you may lose money." Adnan has completely integrated into the role, and he called Su Ming , became 'my boss', and helped Su Ming negotiate for the price conscientiously.

When Lyudmila heard Adnan's words, she frowned in disgust and turned to look at Su Ming. Her lips moved but she didn't speak. After all, she was just a bodyguard.

"You have to know, if my boss doesn't buy it, maybe within a week, these animals will starve to death, or be snatched by soldiers for food..." Adnan continued to lower the boss's price. The boss had a grimace and struggled to talk to him. Adnan was explaining something.

Lyudmila snorted and said to herself: "The Yankees, the British, the Chinese, the Russians, everyone in the world wants to carve up Iraq's oil, but no one cares about the life and death of these ordinary people. .This is damn politics, the dirtiest thing in the world!”

Su Ming knew that her words were actually meant for him. He smiled, shook his head and said, "Miss Lyudmila, are you a little too sensitive? These words should not come from a person whose bounden duty is to kill. The mouth of a mercenary."

"I am a mercenary, but I am a human being first." Lyudmila said coldly: "And I must correct you. The mercenary's duty is not to kill, but to protect."

Su Ming did not continue, but first used part of his mental power to cover the injured lion, and then waved to Adnan: "Adnan, for the sake of God, Allah, and the beautiful Miss Lyudmila. For the sake of face, don’t embarrass this poor boss anymore, just follow the price he said.”

Lyudmila laughed at this not-so-funny joke, and finally stopped making a face.

"But boss..." Adnan wanted to say something more. If he didn't have to bargain, wouldn't his role be greatly reduced? This is not okay, it will affect whether the boss's 'thank you' will be generous in the future.

"That's it, no need to say anymore, Nangong Huang, first give the other party a sum of money and ask him to ensure that these animals can get food and medicine in the next few days. Adnan, you do the follow-up work, and then we Let’s go to the next zoo.” After Su Ming finished speaking, he turned around and walked out.

The zoo owner’s price was already much lower than Su Ming expected. All seven animals together only cost ten thousand US dollars! It’s almost half sale and half giveaway.

If you go to a normal animal trade market, you can't even buy a healthy male lion with this amount of money.

The subsequent packing and transportation work is Adnan’s job.

Lyudmila followed from behind, nodded to Su Ming, and showed a rare friendly expression, but Su Ming stared at her face, suddenly shook his head and smiled, without saying anything, strode onto the armed off-road vehicle.

"What does he mean when he smiles like that!" Liudmila was ignored by Su Ming again. She was a little annoyed and asked Zhao Yun who was walking aside.

Zhao Yun shrugged and said, "I told you, you can't hit me."

"Ah? Why should I hit you? Is he laughing at me?" Lyudmila was not stupid. From Su Ming's strange smile and Zhao Yun's words, she immediately guessed something.

"Tell the truth, Miss Lyudmila, you..." Zhao Yun thought about the words and finally said: "You are really an innocent girl."

After saying that, he strode onto the off-road vehicle.

"Innocent?" This was the first time Lyudmila heard someone use this word to describe herself. In their culture, innocence is a perfect compliment, but why do these two men smile so weirdly?

"It doesn't matter how old you are, you are still naive! You are so naive!" Nangong Huang walked past her with a look of disdain.

…

In the next half of the afternoon, Su Ming and his team visited three private zoos in and around Baghdad. The conditions of these three zoos were similar to the first one. Most of the animals lacked food and water, and the zoo operations were unsustainable.

There are many private zoos in the Middle East, not because Arabs have the awareness of protecting animals. On the contrary, in the doctrines of most Arab religions, animals are low-level creatures. However, there are many wealthy people in the Middle East who like to raise wild animals for fun. Therefore, in peacetime, animal trade in the Middle East is very common, which indirectly gave rise to a large number of private zoos.

Eighty-five animals of various kinds were ordered, including giraffes, ostriches, a group of platypuses, and a nest of cute mongooses. This creature, which looks very similar to pangolins, likes to eat snakes the most, especially venomous snakes.

A little koala, hanging on Su Ming with its hands and feet, was a gift. It was originally a private pet of a zoo owner. After selling the animal, the owner and his family were ready to take the money and leave Iraq, so they simply gave this little guy to Su Ming.

"Boss, our next stop is the Baghdad National Zoo." Adnan introduced.

The Baghdad National Zoo is Su Ming's biggest goal on this trip. Compared with those small private zoos, the number and variety of animals in the Baghdad Zoo are completely different. Hippos, elephants, rhinos, crocodiles, pythons and other rare animals can be bought.

As soon as the armed off-road vehicle entered the Baghdad Zoo, it saw 20 to 30 soldiers in government uniforms in the park, pointing guns at several zoo staff and shouting something.

"Damn it, they are going to take the rhinoceros from the zoo!" Lyudmila said with a gloomy face.
