With three steaks devoured, the velociraptor Blue quickly showed signs of satisfaction.
It had been a long time since it had eaten since escaping from the Memphis Zoo.
Perhaps it was precisely for this reason that its attitude towards Yang Lin shifted slightly.
Besides allowing Yang Lin to pet it, it also began to share some of the things it had seen at the Memphis Zoo.
Ten minutes later, through Blue's fragmented narration, Yang Lin had a general understanding of how it came to be.
It was roughly that the Memphis Zoo had discovered a nest of prehistoric dinosaur eggs years ago.
Then, through a series of black technologies, these dinosaur eggs, which were originally impossible to hatch again, were successfully incubated.
During this process, the Memphis Zoo also transplanted genes from different zoos into these unhatched dinosaurs to create perfect creatures.
And Blue was the only one among all the experimental subjects that succeeded.
If the Memphis Zoo had been given more time to successfully present Blue to the world, they would have achieved a miracle in zoo history.
It was a pity that they no longer had that opportunity. From now on, Yang Lin unilaterally declared that Blue belonged to Xihong Zoo.
"Blue, stay here for now. After we get off the plane, I'll arrange food and a place to stay for you."
After speaking, Yang Lin also spent some time playing with it.
When the time was almost up, he walked out of the cargo hold.
His actions did not attract anyone's attention. To others, Yang Lin was merely trying to build an early connection with Lele and Yaya.
...
Ten hours later, the special plane officially landed at the Capital Airport.
Before Yang Lin even disembarked, he could feel the lively atmosphere outside.
And when he officially walked out of the cabin, he was startled by the scene before him.
The airport, which should have been strictly controlled, was crowded with people, at least several thousand.
There were men and women, old and young, some holding large posters, some holding giant plush toys.
Some were holding banners in small groups.
On these items, without exception, there were abundant panda elements.
Even many people were wearing clothes printed with panda patterns.
【Welcome Lele and Yaya home!】
【Finally waiting for you, glad we didn't give up!】
【Lele and Yaya, we will always love you!】
Looking at the confessions to Lele and Yaya on the banners and posters, both Yang Lin and the expert team were moved.
Before setting off, they hadn't realized how important their mission was.
But faced with this scene, they felt immensely honored.
However, just as everyone was showing expressions of emotion, a new banner was unfurled.
Looking at the text on this new banner, Yang Lin, who had been feeling a little emotional, was suddenly speechless.
【Director Yang is awesome!】
Before he could recover from this outrageous banner slogan, two young girls approached him, each holding a bouquet of flowers.
Seeing this, a hint of smugness appeared on Yang Lin's face.
"I didn't expect I'd have female fans, it's not easy."
"My damned charm."
Smiling, he reached out and accepted the two bouquets. Just as he was about to thank them, he realized the flowers in his hands were a bit odd.
"What kind of flowers are these? Why are they all bamboo and bamboo shoots?"
"For Lele? Wishing good health?"
In an instant, Yang Lin's expression changed dramatically.
This scene was perfectly captured by the cameras on site and broadcast live online to countless netizens eagerly awaiting Lele and Yaya.
"Huh, why doesn't Director Yang look very happy?"
"How could he be happy? He went to the States this time and didn't bring back any animals."
"That makes sense. Before, whenever Director Yang appeared, he always brought back something. Did he come back empty-handed this time?"
"What a shame, not being able to bring back any special products from the States. The Memphis Zoo is truly ignorant and uncooperative."
"Exactly, no foresight. They didn't have lions or tigers, it would have been fine to bring back a couple of giraffes for Director Yang."
"I guess the giraffes were too tall to board the plane, so they were transported separately."
"I reckon even if they wanted to give them, they wouldn't have any animals to give, would they? Are they going to send back the two security guards at the entrance for Director Yang?"
"See, that's what happens when you're uncooperative. If you don't give Director Yang any animals, all their animals will escape that night."
"I strongly suspect that the animals at the Memphis Zoo were all released by Director Yang secretly at night."
"Yes, that's right, I saw it. I was there at the time, and it was Director Yang who did it. By the way, I'm the pillar at the entrance."
"I saw it too. I'm the orangutan at the zoo, currently in a showdown with Fubole in the States. V me 50, and when I unify the States, I'll crown you a female ape, no, an empress."
...
Undoubtedly, in the eyes of netizens, Yang Lin's trip abroad this time was in vain, as if he had gone for nothing.
However, in reality, after dealing with the welcome ceremony for Lele and Yaya, Yang Lin found Blue, who was in stealth mode, at the edge of the airport.
With its extremely high intelligence, it did not show the fear of an ordinary wild beast. Its golden eyes were even filled with excitement.
"Blue likes it here."
Upon hearing the first sentence, a hint of relief appeared on Yang Lin's face.
"See? Who said the air in the States was sweet? Even velociraptors prefer our Great Dragon Country."
But as soon as he finished speaking, Blue added,
"There's a lot of meat here, sweet meat."
"Hmm?"
Following the direction of Blue's gaze, Yang Lin immediately saw a group of enthusiastic fans.
"Whoa, these aren't tasty."
"Anything with two legs isn't tasty, understand?"
Hearing Yang Lin's words, Blue nodded as if it understood.
"Alright, you come with me first. I'll get you something to eat."
As he spoke, Yang Lin winked at the stealthily concealed Blue.
The next second, under the gaze of thousands of fans at the airport, Yang Lin swaggered away from the airport with the velociraptor Blue.
Lele and Yaya also left with him.
According to the agreement with the Animal Association, Lele and Yaya would not stay at the Beijing Zoo this time but would return directly to Xihong Zoo with Yang Lin.
They would officially settle there and spend their twilight years.
Upon hearing this news, netizens were overwhelmingly supportive.
They were well aware that only at Xihong Zoo would Lele and Yaya receive the best care and treatment.
As a result, a large number of netizens immediately booked flights and train tickets to Ningnan.
Tickets for Xihong Zoo were all sold out, with popularity comparable to the Spring Festival.
