Outside the Memphis Zoo's panda enclosure.
After a silence that lasted several minutes, Yang Lin was the first to recover.
The first thing he did upon regaining his senses was to check on the panda in front of him through the system.
[Female Giant Panda (Extremely Weak, Critically Ill) 22 Years Old, Indifferent]
Looking at the information provided by the system, Yang Lin finally understood who the panda standing before them was.
As the two pandas on loan to the Memphis Zoo, Le Le was male, and Ya Ya was female.
Le Le was 25 years old this year, and Ya Ya was 22.
Even if the system hadn't provided health assessments like "extremely weak" and "critically ill," he could tell with his own eyes.
In fact, any normal person could see how poor Ya Ya's health was at the moment.
"Right, Ya Ya is here, so where is Le Le?"
After obtaining the information he wanted, Yang Lin suddenly thought of this question.
However, when he relayed this question to the Memphis Zoo staff, their attitude made him furious.
Not only did they claim to not know where Le Le was, but they also seemed completely unaware of Le Le's current condition. What was worse, they didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with Ya Ya.
After a dispute, Yang Lin immediately requested to enter the panda enclosure to take a look.
Perhaps seeing Yang Lin's resolute attitude, the zoo staff, after a brief consultation, directly opened the panda enclosure doors.
Seeing the doors open, Yang Lin rushed into the panda enclosure.
With a mere glance, he spotted a figure lying in a dark corner within the enclosure.
The moment he saw the figure, he sensed something was wrong.
By the time he reached the figure, taking two steps at a time, the scene before him made his brows furrow deeply.
In this corner devoid of sunlight, panda feces that had not been cleaned for a long time were scattered everywhere. Some of them had completely dried out.
Besides the feces, there were also puddles of water with a pungent odor and food scraps.
And at this moment, an adult panda, no better off than Ya Ya, lay amidst this filth, eyes closed, its life hanging by a thread.
Without time to think, Yang Lin immediately used the system to check its information.
[Male Giant Panda (Critically Ill, Dying) 25 Years Old, Indifferent]
Undoubtedly, this was Le Le, whom he hadn't seen before. And his condition was even worse than Ya Ya's. Ya Ya was merely critically ill and not in immediate danger, but Le Le was on the verge of death.
If Yang Lin had arrived a few minutes later, he might have only seen a corpse.
Thinking this, Yang Lin dared not delay any longer and immediately cast a Level 2 Heal.
As he began treating Le Le, the expert team and the live broadcast team also followed in.
Upon seeing the environment and Le Le's current condition, everyone was both anxious and angry. The audience in the live stream was even more so.
On one side was Ya Ya, emaciated and depleted. On the other was Le Le, whose fate was uncertain and whose condition was tragic. They didn't know what they could do, so they could only cast their hopeful gazes towards Yang Lin through the live camera.
"Director Yang, you must save Le Le."
"Le Le, please hold on! Director Yang is here to take you home."
"Yes, the nightmare is about to end. You can return to the place where you were born."
"Director Yang, it's all up to you this time!"
"Come on, Director Yang. If you can save Le Le this time, I'll buy all your merchandise from now on."
"Le Le, hold on! We've prepared your favorite bamboo and bamboo shoots for you in Long Guo!"
The bullet screen was instantly filled with pleas for Le Le's safety.
Meanwhile, Yang Lin, under the intense scrutiny of everyone, was also filled with trepidation.
Theoretically speaking, Le Le's dying state could not be reversed by a Level 2 Heal alone. This was because Le Le's organs were aging internally, and the problem was at the cellular level. A Level 2 Heal could at most treat external wounds or minor internal injuries; it couldn't solve the problem at its root. Unless he immediately awakened Le Le's talent. With the special power of talent awakening, Le Le could live a second life. However, doing so would expose his secret. With the ability to bring animals back from the brink of death, it was uncertain whether he could even return to Long Guo.
After much thought, Yang Lin suddenly thought of a compromise.
"Since Le Le's organ failure is caused by cell aging, can we find a way to make those aged cells continue to proliferate, or to evolve Le Le's organ functions?"
After the "Evolutionary Light" ability was optimized by the system, he had only used it on that Chinese锦绣 dragon lobster. At that time, he had optimized the lobster's claw muscles, strengthening them several times over their original capacity. This time, however, he was going to optimize organs, which were far more complex than muscles.
As Yang Lin's expression became focused, an Evolutionary Light, imperceptible to the human eye, entered Le Le's body. In the next second, this mysterious beam of evolutionary power, under Yang Lin's directed will, began to optimize Le Le's organs, which had prematurely aged due to illness and suffering. In an instant, Le Le's previously dilapidated and scarred organs began to radiate new strength. Even the heart, which was about to stop beating, suddenly became powerful. With the heart working, blood was then circulated throughout the body.
Seeing that his optimization was effective, Yang Lin quickly took out a bottle of glucose, pre-mixed and without any labels, from a briefcase he was carrying. He then pretended to pour this bottle of glucose into Le Le's mouth. As soon as this bottle of glucose was completely poured into Le Le's mouth, Le Le, who had been on the verge of death, suddenly opened his eyes and began to move his limbs.
Seeing this, everyone who had been extremely anxious breathed a sigh of relief and was amazed.
"Fortunately, we brought Director Yang this time, otherwise, no one could have saved Le Le."
"I've heard for a long time that Director Yang has rich experience in treating animals. Today, I realize that those rumors were an understatement."
"It's truly miraculous. What kind of potion is this Director Yang using? Le Le woke up immediately after one bottle."
"It must be Xihong Zoo's secret formula."
"Saving someone even in such a condition is like a miracle drug. If it were promoted on the market, it would probably earn more money than Director Yang's zoo business."
"You're underestimating Director Yang with that statement. Director Yang is famously not fond of money. Would he use something like this to make money?"
At this moment, Yang Lin, having saved Le Le, had indeed become a national hero.
