Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl Chapter 123 – Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Humanity's Emergency Rescue

Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Humanity's Emergency Rescue

Inside the cave lay a leopard, as thin as a rail, and if its belly hadn't been slightly rising and falling, it would have looked nearly dead.

Brother Snow Leopard paced back and forth next to it, occasionally nudging its head and making a low sound.

Suo Wang psyched himself up and approached carefully, never daring to take his eyes off Brother Snow Leopard.

But there was a problem.

He was a policeman, not a veterinarian, and he had no idea what was wrong with the snow leopard or what medicine to give it.

Musterign his courage, Suo Wang roughly examined the snow leopard lying on the ground.

He didn't see any external injuries, but judging from its anus and nose, it was seriously ill.

Just as Suo Wang was at a loss, the uncle and his group arrived.

The sudden appearance of a group of people startled the snow leopard, which was about to get angry when Mr. Lepus shouted and stopped it.

The three large cats occupied both sides of the cave, watching with tense bodies as these humans fussed over them.

“Suo Wang, go collect some branches, not too dry, make sure they're a bit flexible. Zemu, go with him and find six longer pieces of wood; we need to make a litter to carry this leopard down,” instructed the uncle authoritatively, as if he were the anchor in a storm, his simple orders setting the young men busily to work.

Although the uncle was not a veterinarian, he had raised many farm animals at home and could recognize basic symptoms.

He observed the condition of the snow leopard, examined its excrement, and had a general idea of what was wrong.

The litter was quickly made, rough but sufficient for the snow leopard to lie on.

The snow leopard had fallen into a coma and didn't struggle, so they didn't tie it down, just blocked it loosely to prevent it from sliding off while being carried downhill.

Once the litter was ready, the group didn't delay any further and prepared to lift the snow leopard and head down the mountain.

The uncle gave the snow leopard sitting beside them a series of gestures as if explaining that they were taking its companion down the mountain for treatment.

Suo Wang looked confused, “Uncle, can it understand you?”

“How can it not understand? You're not it, how would you know what it doesn't understand? It was able to come down the mountain to seek help, so of course it knows we're trying to help it,” the uncle lectured the young men, adopting a stern expression. “Wild animals haven't attacked our people or livestock, and we must not hurt them either; that would be illegal, understand?”

The young men nodded unanimously and lifted the leopard without another word.

When they reached Mr. Lepus's territory, the veterinarians had also arrived.

They immediately found a spot to stop and check the snow leopard.

“It has a bad stomach, probably enteritis or even intestinal perforation. I can't feel any ascites right now, but we can't be sure of the specifics until we get it down the mountain for further examination,” said the veterinarian while swiftly administering two anti-inflammatory injections and one nutrient shot.

The mountain was not suitable for IV fluids, which would have been the best treatment under the circumstances.

Many hands make light work, and they quickly arrived at the high mountain meadow they had passed before.

Brother Snow Leopard did not continue down. It stood on a large rock, silently watching the humans take away its companion.

On another lower rock on the side, Mr. Lepus and his little wife also lay down to watch the humans leave.

“Hmm, kind of missing that two-legged beast. Let's wait for the weather to get a little colder, then we'll go down the mountain to check,” mused Mr. Lepus.

The little lynx gently rubbed against Mr. Lepus in an agreeable manner, as if to say she had no opinion against whatever he said.

Brother Snow Leopard glanced at them, suppressed its distaste, and turned to run back up the mountain.

Back at the rescue station, Chen Ying and Little Sen were still following the situation, and Chen Ying couldn't for the life of her understand why the cad, Brother Snow Leopard, would be willing to contact humans for the sake of a little snow leopard.

“Could it have found true love?”

Yin Li, who was buried in writing on the other side of the video, looked up at him after hearing this.

“Are you looking for a partner? All day thinking about whether love is true or fake. If you're feeling amorous, should I ask my mom to find you a girl?”

“Get lost, you should be the one looking first.”

“Right, about that Banded Palm Civet you mentioned last time, I talked to my sister, and she and my brother-in-law have already prepared a nest. They've put it in the old house at your uncle's place. The kitchen space is wide and airy, and it's convenient for it to come and go.”

“There are no objections from the village?”

“What objections? Everyone knows about protecting animals these days. The former hunter uncles are mostly either farming their own land now or have taken up forest patrolling. Rest assured, in our village, it's safer than outside.”

“Okay, when the little cubs leave the nest, I'll release the Banded Palm Civet there. Maybe one or two Large Spirit Cat Cubs will go too. We'll see how it goes.”

Just as he was about to hang up the call, Yin Li suddenly remembered something.

“Hey, give that street rat a heads up not to mess with the hive. It's only the first year we're piloting this, and if it starts off badly, it's tough to handle afterward.”

Speaking of this, Chen Ying also felt tense.

There was no helping it, the street rat had a nose like a dog's—it could find the honey no matter how well it was hidden.

Now they were keeping the honey locked in iron cabinets, but he could clearly see claw marks near the locks; no need to guess, it was definitely the street rat's doing.

Keeping bees in its territory, geez, it's troublesome.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ying browsed some literature for a while, still thinking about the Snow Leopard.

He didn't know what the situation was now; he was anxious.

A side room of the grassland police station had been converted into an emergency care room.

The Snow Leopard's condition wasn't good; it had been unconscious since coming down the mountain, with dilated pupils.

As they were creatures originally from high altitudes, no one knew what consequences it would have when suddenly entering a low-altitude area.

At a little past five in the morning, Chen Ying received a video call from Suo Wang.

“Dr. Chen, take a look at this Snow Leopard; it's in pretty bad shape.”

Through the camera, Chen Ying saw the Snow Leopard lying on its side on a makeshift bed, hooked up to an IV, but its heart rate was incredibly slow, and it showed no response to stimulations on its limbs and pupils.

The two Veterinarians from Gula Gully were there; they had performed a physical examination and quickly had someone return to the Veterinarian station to conduct a blood analysis.

The examination results were pessimistic.

“Preliminary diagnosis is enteritis, intestinal perforation, some effusion in the abdomen…”

A string of physical and blood test reports were read to Chen Ying, each indicator not promising.

Chen Ying inquired about the current stock of Animal Medicine at the station and proposed two temporary treatment plans.

“This Snow Leopard must undergo surgery. I recommend sending it to the nearest Panda Protection Center to use their equipment and operating room. If you need me to come over, I'm ready to leave right away.”

The call for help had to come from Guer Gully, directly finding the protection branch in the local town, and then reporting to the Forestry Bureau to transfer to the Rescue station.

Things moved quite quickly, in less than half an hour, Chen Ying received a notice to prepare immediately for departure, a car was coming up to the mountain Rescue station to pick him up and head directly to Guer Gully to assist in the treatment.

“The center has coordinated with the Protection Center, the operating room and supplies and medicine are ready, you can start the surgery as soon as you arrive. This time I hope you can take little Gao from Guer Gully with you, he's young, eager to learn, having more rescue skills will be beneficial.”

Director Bai, not wanting Chen Ying to overthink, spoke earnestly to him.

“Director Bai, I understand, rest assured, as long as they want to learn, I will definitely teach them. I won't talk further now; I'm already packed up over here and will head out of the mountains immediately.”

Time was life, there was no time to waste. He simply informed Leopard Sister, slung his bag over his shoulder, and ran down the road, rushing toward Gula Gully with the greatest possible speed.
