Beauty and the Beasts - Chapter 1424
Chapter 1424: News of the Leopard’s Escape (2)
The video was first posted on Weibo by a passer-by. Netizens all criticized the zoo for its negligent management of the animals. The incident of a leopard killing people had just happened, and now emerged a new incident of animals escaping.
Some netizens speculated that the main lead of last week’s ‘a leopard sprinting in the streets’ incident had also escaped from this same zoo.
It was only because the matter blew up that a representative from the zoo came out to explain things. The zoo insisted that they had only lost two leopards, that the third leopard wasn’t theirs. But no one believed them.
“Don’t lie to me, I’m not well-educated. I’m scared.”
“The zoo’s explanation sounds right out of a fantasy. Could it be that a leopard alliance has appeared? 23333[1]…”
“Hahaha, the truth has been revealed upstairs. Bravo, Brother Leopard.”
The above were comments by the netizens.
Bai Qingqing nearly didn’t believe it, either. She quietly lit a candle in her heart for the zoo, thinking, How unlucky of them.
Tang Li heaved a sigh of relief and said, “It’s also good that it ran away. Otherwise, that leopard would have been euthanized. In any case, there hasn’t been any news of leopards hurting people outside… But then again, the animals in our city have been a bit weird lately. We’d better not go out during the holidays.”
Bai Qingqing patted her shoulder reassuringly and said, “Don’t worry, nothing will happen. By the time we break for holidays, the leopards would long have been caught.”
“Mm, mm.” Tang Li nodded in agreement. “I hope it won’t be euthanized. Although one shouldn’t criticize a deceased person, that person who fed the leopard with meat totally had it coming. And he even implicated the leopard.”
Bai Qingqing counted the rice grains in her bowl and said, “That’s true. But I feel that there are too many retards in this world. There have been so many incidents of wild animals hurting people in recent years. Since the zoo isn’t able to stop retards from acting like retards, why don’t they just install metal nets and let the tourists view the animals through it?”
Tang Li glanced at her and said, “Then what if someone tries to squirm his way into the wildlife zone?”
Bai Qingqing: “…”
After a pause, she pretended to surrender. “Then pretend I didn’t say anything. This world is no longer able to stop them.”
…
The main lead whom everyone was fervently discussing, Parker, was walking on the road with his stomach growling at the moment.
There was a bank card in his pocket, but not once had he thought of using it.
When Qingqing was around, he could naturally eat the food with everyone. Now that she wasn’t around, it would be unbecoming for him to buy food with Muir’s money.
Unknowingly, he walked to his spouse’s home. Feeling curious, Parker crawled up to the window of Bai Qingqing’s room.
The window was closed. After a slight hesitation, Parker smashed the window and crawled in, feeling baffled: Why do humans feel so reassured using something that can be so easily smashed as a wall? Look, he got in so easily.
Woof, woof, woof! A sharp dog howl sounded outside the room.
Parker froze before his eyes lit up. He had heard that Qingqing had a younger brother.
Having lived in the beastmen world all his life, having suddenly arrived in an alternate world, Parker’s logic had yet to conform to this world. When he heard the dog barking outside, his first instinct was that this dog was Bai Qingqing’s younger brother.
He instantly opened the door and squatted down with a smile. “You’re Qingqing’s younger brother?”
Though Furry put on a ferocious front, it was actually very timid. The moment it saw the door open, it wanted to flee. But it wasn’t able to escape from Parker’s demonic claws.
It tensed up its tail right away and let out a few whimpers.
Parker stroked Furry’s head and praised, “Little fellow, your fur is not bad.”
You’re stating the obvious. I’m a golden retriever.
Sensing Parker’s kind intentions, Furry instantly warmed up to him and wagged its tail.
