Live Cat Appraisal: Starting with a Beast That's Got a Long Prison Record

Chapter 127 I must save it!

As the camera zooms in, a clearer image is transmitted to the screen.

The snow leopard's unnaturally bulging belly came into everyone's view.

At first, no one realized what it was, until Chen Nian subconsciously exclaimed, which made everyone realize that the snow leopard was pregnant!

"My God! She's pregnant?!"

"Is she going to have snow leopard cubs? That's wonderful!"

"Fly closer, broadcaster!"

Some viewers who didn't understand the situation felt very lucky, not only because they saw a wild snow leopard (the largest in China), but also because it was a pregnant female snow leopard!
If only we could see a snow leopard cub born.

Wouldn't that be something you could brag about for a lifetime?!
One by one, they sent out comments, wanting Chen Nian to move the camera closer.

However, the live stream room not only contained ordinary people, but also many zoologists who came specifically to see it.

This includes Professor Tang Rongtang, who has dedicated half his life to studying snow leopards.

Professor Tang, a PhD from the Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, has long been engaged in research on ecology and conservation biology, with a focus on the protection of endangered species.

They are particularly attentive to snow leopards.

He thought these 'mountain ghosts' were simply the most fascinating felines in the world!

Professor Tang has even personally delivered several captive snow leopards that were about to give birth!

It's fair to say that there are very few people in China who truly understand the state of a pregnant snow leopard, and Professor Tang is one of them.

He is currently sitting in the research institute watching Chen Nian's live stream.

His sparse eyebrows were tightly furrowed!

He carefully observed the snow leopard's condition in the footage.

She is indeed pregnant!

But it is not a pregnancy in the ordinary sense.

Judging from the snow leopard's reaction to the drone, it was clearly exhausted and in a state of collapse from giving birth to its cubs!
That is, the so-called
Difficult labor!

Professor Tang couldn't help but stand up.

Just as I was about to type the news to Chen Nian, I heard Chen Nian's extremely heavy voice in the live stream:
"I regret to inform you that you probably won't be able to see the snow leopard cub for the time being."

"Because this snow leopard must have had a difficult birth!"

His tone was very confident.

It was clearly a decision made after careful consideration.

Professor Tang immediately stopped typing, looked at the young face in the live broadcast room in surprise, and raised his eyebrows with a hint of astonishment.

This young man is quite good!
The judgment was made so quickly!

It's important to know that figuring this out is not something an ordinary person can do.

This requires a deep understanding of the snow leopard's physiological habits, pregnancy status, and stress response, as well as its current weakened posture, unusually rapid breathing rate, and almost indifferent low responsiveness to threats.
Only by piecing together all these fragmented details can the truth be revealed!
It would be impossible for someone who doesn't have an extremely deep understanding of snow leopards to do this.

Not to mention directly asserting that it would be a difficult birth.

"Old Li didn't lie to me this time. This young man is indeed a talent!"

After the praise.

Tang Rong's brows furrowed even more.

He understood better than anyone what the snow leopard's condition on the screen meant.

The prolonged labor has exhausted its strength and may even have caused internal damage or infection.

In a desperate situation where no one intervenes, there is only one outcome.
"Hey!"

Tang Rong sighed heavily with regret.

Little did I know that our first meeting would be our last!
He turned his head away, unable to bear watching any longer.

Chen Nian's voice continued to echo in the live stream room:

"Does anyone know what the survival rate is for wild snow leopards experiencing dystocia without human intervention?"

He looked at the snow leopard on the screen and slowly uttered that cold number.

"0."

"Even if a miracle occurs and it manages to deliver the cub, the ensuing massive bleeding, infection, or any complication stemming from the cub's own frailty could easily claim the lives of both mother and child in a short period of time!"

These words, more chilling than the fiercest winds of the plateau, completely froze the air in the live broadcast room.

The cheers and anticipation that had previously flooded social media have vanished without a trace.

Instead, there was a deathly silence, with countless fingers hovering in front of the screen as if frozen by invisible frost.

I thought it was a miraculous encounter.

I never imagined that fate would play such a cruel trick on me!
Until one comment appeared, it ignited the emotions in the live stream:

"Save it! Teacher Chen! Please save it! If it were you, you could definitely do it! Please!"

Instantly, countless similar pleas surged forth like a tidal wave:

"Save the snow leopard mother! Save the snow leopard cub!"

"Teacher Chen! Please help me!"

Although Xia Qiyue was also very sad, after seeing these comments, she suddenly raised her head and shouted, "Do you want Teacher Chen to die?!"

"Look closely! That's a snow leopard! A large carnivorous beast!"

"It's a mother beast on the verge of giving birth, in extreme pain, and fraught with unpredictability! Her current weakness is merely an illusion! Any unfamiliar approach, perceived as a threat, could trigger her most frenzied and deadly final attack!"

She practically screamed, "That can kill people!"

"In this situation, the only responsible thing to do is to wait for a professional rescue team that brings specialized sedation equipment, protective gear, and first-aid supplies!"

"Any individual who approaches rashly is taking a risk!"

Xia Qiyue's voice echoed in the cold wind on the hillside, carrying an undeniable rationality.

Inside the live stream, Professor Tang typed a heavy message in the chat:
Tang Rong (Snow Leopard Research Institute): "This girl is absolutely right."

"The female snow leopard is far more dangerous than usual at this moment. Her judgment is based on facts from animal behavior. Approaching rashly could have unimaginable consequences!" "Please, anchor, maintain your distance and wait for professional assistance."

These warnings from professionals were like buckets of ice water, waking up the audience who had been blinded by emotions.

Yes!

Chen Nian is a human being, not a god.

No matter how much he adores cats, he can't possibly save a snow leopard in labor with his bare hands!
"I'm sorry, Teacher Chen, I was wrong."

"sorry!"

The viewers in the live chat immediately apologized.

However, Chen Nian seemed to have shut out all the sounds from the outside world.

His gaze, like the most precise probe, pierced through the screen, locking onto the snow leopard's every labored breath and every slight twitch of its limbs.

A strong sense of resentment, awe for life, and trust in his own special 'intuition' collided fiercely within him, ultimately driving him to make an almost insane decision!

"July".

Chen Nian's tone was calmer than ever before: "Help me get my backpack."

Xia Qiyue subconsciously handed him the heavy hiking backpack.

"What are you going to do?"

Chen Nian did not answer, but calmly unzipped the deepest compartment of the backpack.

When he pulled out a bulging, hard square box with a prominent red cross symbol, Xia Qiyue's pupils suddenly contracted, and she instantly understood his intention!

"A multi-functional veterinary first aid surgical kit for the field?!"

Xia Qiyue grabbed Chen Nian's arm tightly, yelling, "What are you doing! Are you crazy?!"

Chen Nian returned Xia Qiyue's gaze with a very calm look.

“I have to do this.”

“I can’t watch it die in front of me, and I’m confident.”

"What confidence do you have?!" Xia Qiyue's eyes reddened. "This is a snow leopard! A large carnivorous beast! Not the Asian golden cat from last time! I won't allow you to take the risk!"

Although viewers in the live stream couldn't see the screen, they could hear the two arguing.

Judging from Chen Nian's words, he's actually going to rescue the snow leopard?!
The scene exploded instantly!

"No! Teacher Chen, please don't be impulsive! I was wrong! I was just saying it offhand, please don't go!"

"Yeah! Why don't we just wait for reinforcements?"

"It's too late. Teacher Chen and the others are dozens of kilometers away from the nearest rescue station. By the time they arrive, the snow leopard will be long gone!"

Even the official Cat Alliance account took the initiative to intervene and persuade:
"Teacher Chen, please don't take any risks. We have already dispatched the nearest rescue team. Respecting the harsh laws of nature is sometimes part of protection! Please stay calm!"

Even the members of their Cat Alliance were somewhat at a loss at this point.

Because the distance is too far!

Given the snow leopard's condition, it's impossible for it to survive until they pass by.

Jingle Bell--

Xia Qiyue's phone rang, and Wujiu Xiaoliang's anxious, almost hysterical voice came through:
"Chen Nian! Chen Nian, did you hear me?! Bring Qiyue back immediately! This is an order! Don't do anything foolish!!"

Chen Nian simply shook her head slightly, her voice low and clear:
"Brother Liang, trust me this once, I can't watch it die!"

"Chen Nian! Chen Nian? Hello?!"

Chen Nian had already hung up the phone.

Then, he forcefully placed the drone's remote control into Xia Qiyue's icy hand.

Xia Qiyue grabbed him and shook her head:

"Don't go!"

Chen Nian was being pulled and couldn't move, so he could only helplessly turn around and look at the girl. He raised the hand that wasn't being held and gently covered the back of her hand that was tightly gripping his arm.

His eyes were unusually clear.

There was no fanaticism, no impulsiveness, only a near-cruel calmness and an indescribable, deep-seated confidence!
"July..." His voice was gentle, "You should know me. When have I ever done anything without being sure?"

"I chose to save it not because of impulse, not because of requests from the comments, and certainly not because I wanted to be a hero."

He paused, his gaze seemingly piercing through the girl before him, landing on the dying snow leopard.

"It's because my intuition tells me it won't attack me. At least, not until it senses my intentions. And I have this."

Chen Nian waved the first aid kit in her hand: "I know what to do, and I'm confident I can help it. I can't, I can't just watch its life slip away in front of me without doing anything, especially when I have the ability and the possibility to change it."

As she spoke, Chen Nian's memories seemed to drift back to that summer afternoon.

My best friend is lying on the operating table.

He could only watch helplessly as it gradually drifted away from him through the cold glass window.

He was powerless to do anything about it that time.

But this time, Chen Nian wanted to give it a try!
It wasn't just his confidence in his rescue skills that gave him peace of mind; Xiaomi's accurate information also gave him confidence.

Xia Qiyue looked into his eyes.

There was not a trace of hesitation in it, only a nameless sorrow and a certainty that she could not comprehend.

This man, who understands cats to the core, really wanted to give it a try!
Xia Qiyue's hand gradually loosened.

He clenched his fist tightly again!
“Take me with you!”

Chen Nian was stunned for a moment.

This girl, who knew how dangerous this rescue was, was fulfilling her promise to protect Chen Nian no matter what.

Even if it means facing a snow leopard head-on!

Chen Nian nodded gently at her.

"Okay, let's go together."
