In less than a second, a venomous snake over a meter long was dispatched by the newly hatched Peng cub. Yang Lin was utterly stunned.
Recalling the cub's phantom-like speed, he suddenly remembered Peng cub's legendary innate talent, Peng Cheng Wan Li.
"Good heavens, with this flying speed, once it matures, flying ten thousand li a day will be nothing, let alone twenty thousand."
"Is this the legendary Flying Thunder God?"
As Yang Lin marveled at the little one's terrifying flying prowess, it had already begun to feed independently.
Despite Peng cub's palm-sized stature, it handled the venomous snake carcass, several times its size, with ease.
In just a few bites, it had consumed most of the snake meat.
Yang Lin felt a prickle on his scalp.
Fortunately, not long after, the little one was completely full.
"Perhaps we can cooperate with the fire department in the future. If they get calls about snakes, we can send you."
As if understanding Yang Lin's words, the cub immediately nodded repeatedly.
The next second, it flew back to Yang Lin's shoulder.
"Let's go play, let's go play!"
Having eaten its fill, the cub was naturally eager to play and urged Yang Lin to take it out.
"Let's go, I'll show you the outside world."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man and the Peng walked out of the warm room.
The moment they stepped out, the flock of birds that had been circling above the warm room immediately scattered.
The tourists gathered nearby then noticed Yang Lin emerging from the warm room.
Just as they were about to greet him, the Peng cub on his shoulder caught everyone's attention.
"Huh? Director Yang got a new bird?"
"What kind of bird is that? It looks quite strange."
"An eagle, maybe? But why does it have a fluffy yellow crest on its head?"
"Probably a punk rock bird."
...
Listening to the murmurs of the crowd, Yang Lin's gaze remained vigilant, lest the little one on his shoulder suddenly flash golden and fly away.
Fortunately, the cub's attention was entirely captivated by the colorful world outside.
Not long after leaving the warm room, it flapped its wings and took to the sky.
Without any apparent adaptation period or novice phase, it disappeared from Yang Lin's sight in no time.
Shortly after, shouts of surprise erupted from the visitors in the animal kindergarten area of the park.
Hearing this sound, Yang Lin immediately felt that something was amiss.
When he arrived at the scene, his premonition proved to be true.
In the Sunshine Forest Kindergarten, the Peng cub, which had just vanished into the sky, had somehow appeared here.
Less than a meter away from it, a large, snow-white snake was eyeing it warily.
This was the Jiao cub, enrolled in the kindergarten.
But that wasn't all. Not far from the Jiao cub, the little Golden Retriever was also looking at the uninvited guest with a vigilant gaze.
Yet, these three cubs, whose combined age was less than half a year, were enough to deter any other animal from approaching.
Despite their young age, one was a top-tier land beast, another a top-tier reptile, and the third a top-tier bird of prey.
They were the undeniable second generation of Xihong Zoo.
Once the older animals retired, they would become the three new rulers of Xihong Zoo.
Of course, if the Kun cub, still swimming freely in the sea, were included, Xihong Zoo would eventually be ruled by four monarchs.
At this moment, not only the animals sensed this, but the tourists also noticed that these three younglings in the kindergarten were somehow different.
But just as everyone was worried that these three cubs might fight at any moment, a figure leaped over the kindergarten fence and entered.
The next second, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, one cub was stuffed into a pocket, another was held by its seven-inch mark, and the third was grasped by the scruff of its neck.
In an instant, the future three rulers were subdued by Director Yang, followed by a lecture lasting several minutes.
"Sigh, boring, so boring."
"Let's disperse."
"The terrifying upright ape has intervened in the animal's battle again."
"So, when it comes to combat power, it's still the terrifying upright ape."
"Do you know why they fear Director Yang? Because Director Yang raises them."
"Hopefully, Director Yang will still be so brave when they grow up."
"Hahaha, according to their growth cycle, by this time next year, Director Yang probably won't be able to do anything about them."
"Weak in the early game, invincible in the late game."
...
As they spoke, the crowd dispersed.
After the tourists left, Yang Lin also emerged from the Sunshine Forest Kindergarten.
However, even after his reprimand, the conflict between the three cubs did not seem to have eased much.
Yang Lin, however, was too lazy to intervene. After all, given the cubs' sizes, they wouldn't cause any significant problems.
Meanwhile, the sky gradually darkened.
As night fully descended, the once bustling Xihong Zoo finally quieted down.
Tourists returned home, and employees went off duty.
As soon as these employees arrived home, packages were delivered to their doorsteps.
At first, they were puzzled. It wasn't until they recalled what Yang Lin had said during the day that they remembered where these packages came from.
"Director Yang is so thoughtful. He's even bought our outfits for the annual meeting."
"I just don't know what he bought. Formal wear? Or suits?"
"I'm really looking forward to it."
In a rental apartment in Ningnan City, Jiang Tao, a zookeeper at Xihong Zoo's panda enclosure, looked at the large cardboard box in front of him with anticipation.
As he spoke, he eagerly used scissors to open the box.
However, when he saw what was inside, he was completely taken aback.
He had expected a refined suit, but what lay before him looked nothing like a suit.
Because the object placed on top looked exactly like a giant wild boar's head.
The rest consisted of wild boar trotters and its body.
When assembled, it was clearly a meticulously crafted animal costume.
"No, why is it this? Are we supposed to wear this to the annual meeting?"
After much thought, he suddenly remembered the slips of paper he had drawn earlier. He immediately reached into his pocket.
Opening the slip, the words "wild boar" were clearly visible.
"Damn it, so this is what they meant by wild boar."
"Does this mean I have to wear this thing to work tomorrow?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Tao immediately opened the work group chat.
The pictures posted by other employees in the group chat made him lose all composure.
