Chapter 364

Lin Xiao followed his gaze, glanced at the mountains and forests not far away, then looked away and looked at the elephant in front of the window again.

Because the elephant was facing away from them, they couldn't see exactly how badly it was injured.

Because of these serious injuries, they can't even go back to the forest, which is probably much more serious than they imagined.

"I'm sorry, but your body is no longer able to return to life in the jungle, so we have to move you to another location."

Lin Xiao knew that the other person was conflicted, reluctant, and even afraid of the future.

However, as a staff member, she could only continue to fulfill her duties and try her best to explain their situation clearly to dispel Duoduo's resentment.

"Don't worry, there are many animals in our zoo that look like you. You will make many good friends in the zoo."

Lin Xiao was even worried that the other party wouldn't believe her, so she took out her phone and showed him photos of the zoo.

"Look, all the animals in our zoo were rescued by us from poachers."

"Although living space is limited, your future will be very safe, at least you will no longer have to worry about food."

Lin Xiao slowly walked forward with her phone in hand. When she reached Duo Duo's side, she suddenly stopped.

Lin Xiao's eyes widened slightly, and her expression became somewhat out of control.

This was the first time Feng Cheng had seen such obvious surprise on Lin Xiao's face.

It's no wonder Lin Xiao was surprised.

Duoduo has just too many scars on her face.

Because those people were just ordinary farmers who had heard that ivory was now selling for much more money than fossil ivory.

So they boldly began to plan their poaching.

Before they began their operation, they even tested whether a group of people entering the protected area would be discovered.

They went back and forth several times, but no one came to their door, which emboldened them.

However, what they don't know is.

It was just a few ordinary people who came to the forest; even if the staff of the reserve discovered them, they wouldn't say much.

After all, their protected area is already large, and there aren't even any particularly obvious fences around it, so it's impossible for them to refuse entry to everyone.

Not to mention this forest, which is directly connected to the neighboring country, how could it possibly be defended?
Those men thought they hadn't been discovered at all, so they boldly hunted the elephant, intending to extract its tusks and sell them.

Although they found many methods, they successfully subdued the elephant.

Later, when they were pulling out the tusks, because they didn't have any skills and didn't even have a good understanding of the elephant's anatomy, they just slashed around with their knives.

They just wanted to dig out the ivory and that was it.

They never considered the fate of the ivory tusk afterward.

So when the staff arrived, Duoduo's face was almost completely slashed.

If they hadn't arrived in time, Dudu might not have been able to be saved.

Therefore, even from the side, Lin Xiao could see the bloody and hideous scars covering half of Duo Duo's face.

His entire face was so distorted by the mottled scars that it looked unrecognizable.

Seeing Lin Xiao frozen in place, Duo Duo chuckled and hissed slightly. She turned to look at the woman beside her, her face full of mockery.

It's as if it's saying, "Look, aren't you afraid of me too?"
“My face is so badly injured, do you really think the people at your zoo can accept me looking like this?”

Duo Duo sneered and then looked away.

"I, that's not what I meant!"

Lin Xiao's grip on the phone tightened slowly, and the stiff smile on her face disappeared.

She took two steps forward, her raised right hand trembling slightly. After hesitating for a while, she finally placed it firmly on Duo Duo's face. The rough skin of the elephant scratched against her palm, and Lin Xiao frowned, her fingers unconsciously tracing the mottled marks.

"Feel sorry."

"Don't worry, you'll definitely make even more friends once you get back to the zoo."

"Trust me, okay? If one day you really can't stand it here and want to leave, I'll personally bring you back, okay?"

The moment Lin Xiao gently touched his face, the elephant's entire body visibly stiffened.

Upon hearing Lin Xiao's words, a look of surprise visibly appeared on Xiang's face.

To be honest, it wasn't that no one had come to check on his condition before.

However, those people were very happy before they entered, but their expressions immediately darkened when they saw the scars on his face.

Then came some extremely fake expressions, and then he hurriedly left.

Later, fewer and fewer people came.

Not only that, but even his keepers sometimes couldn't help but sigh when they saw the scars on his face while taking care of him.

Although Duoduo didn't know what they were saying, he was very sensitive to the fact that they seemed to dislike him.

Therefore, the elephant Duoduo became increasingly withdrawn.

In many cases, they don't want to see any outsiders except their own keepers.

That's why, when they arrived, Duoduo blocked the doorway and didn't want them to come in at all.

If it weren't for the fact that there was someone she could communicate with, Duoduo wouldn't have opened the door at all.

At this moment, Duoduo was completely stunned and stood there.

He has always adhered to the principle of elephant herd survival: birth, aging, sickness, and death; only healthy, mature elephants are useful.

Later, after arriving at the rescue center, this news was indeed verified.

But at this moment, someone gently stroked the unsightly scars on her face and told her very seriously that they would take good care of her in the future.

Duoduo didn't want to believe that statement at all.

But deep down, he couldn't help but wonder, what if it were true?
Especially during this period, its keeper was extremely worried about its survival.

perhaps……

Duoduo glanced at Lin Xiao standing in front of her, then turned to look at the zookeeper standing at the door.

The person in charge of receiving Lin Xiao this time is the same person who specifically takes care of Duo Duo.

Seeing the elephant looking at him with reluctance, the person in charge smiled and waved to it.

He looked incredibly happy.

Duo Duo withdrew her gaze and looked back at the woman in front of her.

With her nose twitching in front of her, Duoduo remained silent for a while before closing her eyes as if resigned to her fate.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

After saying that, he turned and looked reluctantly at the person in charge standing at the door.

"That might make him a little happier."

Lin Xiao watched the two people staring at each other, hesitant to speak.

In the end, he simply gave a very solemn reply.

"Will do!"
