The simple video quickly resonated with countless viewers, especially after the news of the bear bile extraction incident.
Even though the news had emphasized that the animals were sent to Xihong Zoo for treatment, many netizens remained concerned.
It wasn't until Yang Lin posted this video that their worries subsided.
"Excellent, this is the follow-up I wanted to see. All the animals have been rescued."
"Not a single one missing. As expected, Director Yang and Xihong Zoo are the most reliable. Sending them to Xihong Zoo was indeed the best choice."
"Looking at them, they seem to be out of danger."
"Perhaps it won't be long before they recover completely."
"I heard that Director Yang started treating them immediately after bringing them back overnight, working alone for the entire night."
"According to the news reports, they were so badly injured, yet they were saved. This is truly Director Yang's doing."
"I want to send Director Yang a banner with the words 'Great kindness and virtue, saving my bear's life.' Are there any good folks in Ningnan who can help me? I'll pay, and you handle the delivery."
"By the way, where is the Gou Xiong Ling that Director Yang mentioned later? Is it the Gou Xiong Ling restaurant in Animal City?"
"Are you crazy? Sending dozens of bears to the Gou Xiong Ling restaurant? That would mean more bears than customers."
"It's probably a brand new area that's about to open. Director Yang is releasing a new Easter egg for everyone."
As the whole country expressed their concern, time flew by, and it was already the next day.
After a night's rest, Yang Lin, who had felt like he had lost half his life, was instantly revitalized.
"Another energetic day."
As usual, after breakfast, he began his rounds of inspection in the park, coincidentally helping animals that hadn't yet started families.
However, when he reached the artificial lake, the scene before him was unexpected.
"What's going on? Are they having a morning meeting?"
Following his gaze, he saw a group of free-range animals gathered on the grass by the artificial lake.
Swans, squirrels, silver foxes, tortoises, civets, and even the young flood dragon and the Paw Patrol were all there.
It looked exactly like a large assembly.
Furthermore, a large crowd of tourists had gathered around the periphery of these animals, watching the spectacle.
With a mix of curiosity and confusion, Yang Lin slowly approached.
To get a clearer view, he also climbed up a large willow tree nearby.
From his vantage point, he could see the situation clearly.
"Wow! I knew they were all gathered here for a reason. So it's because of this."
"Truly a social butterfly of the animal kingdom."
"But speaking of which, you are all intelligent animals, why are you waiting there for poop?"
At this moment, he felt speechless.
He knew that for this scene to occur, some animal must have already experienced the benefits.
And the only one who could have spread the word would be Gou Dan.
It was likely that other animals in the park already knew they could find delicious snacks by the artificial lake, and some hadn't come only because they couldn't get out.
With this thought, he no longer hesitated and rushed in.
"Gou Dan, get over here!"
As soon as he spoke, Gou Dan, who had a look of anticipation, put on an innocent expression.
Under Yang Lin's confused gaze, it slowly moved its front paw.
"Boss, don't look at me. I only hid one. If you want to eat it, you can have this one."
"Gou Sheng has already gone to find food for this new arrival. Let it eat more so it can produce more later. If it dares not to eat, we'll force-feed it."
As soon as Gou Dan finished speaking, Yang Lin gave it a slap.
"Who said I was going to fight you for food?"
"Hurry up and make them all leave. Don't keep them gathered here."
Seeing Yang Lin's firm stance, Gou Dan proceeded to disperse the other animals present one by one.
When it left itself, it suddenly opened its mouth and swallowed the small snack on the ground before disappearing into the park.
When the tourists saw this, they burst into laughter.
"Hilarious! They waited in line for so long only to be dispersed by the park management."
"Even the Paw Patrol, so smart, are addicted to the capybara's snacks. They must be incredibly delicious."
"I'm also very curious, so I want to ask, where can I buy a capybara? No offense, I just find them really cute."
"I suggest Director Yang feed the capybara bitter melon for a couple of days. Then the other animals won't be interested in its snacks."
"That's a sensible suggestion."
"Feeding bitter melon is not as good as feeding chili peppers."
"You're ruthless, but what if the animals become addicted to spicy food?"
Listening to the tourists' chatter, Yang Lin felt their points were quite valid.
"I'll go get a couple of bitter melons later and see if it eats them. Rodents don't seem to be sensitive to bitterness, do they?"
Just as Yang Lin was contemplating how to improve the snack recipe, his phone rang.
Upon seeing the name on the caller ID, he had a general idea of what the call was about.
When the call was answered, the news from the other end confirmed his suspicion.
The exterior wall project for the artificial forest had been completed.
Upon hearing this news, Yang Lin couldn't help but admire their construction speed.
After hanging up, he rushed to the site immediately.
When he arrived outside the zoo, a perfectly neat, green wall came into view.
Just as Qian Tu had described, the walls were entirely composed of thorny bushes and vines, reaching over three meters in height.
By next spring, they would likely grow even taller.
Besides the height, the appearance of this natural wall was somewhat daunting.
As far as the eye could see, it was all thorns.
Looking at it, a satisfied expression appeared on Yang Lin's face.
"Let's see who dares to climb over the wall to sneak in this time."
With that, he returned to the zoo.
Since the exterior walls were all done, the next step was naturally to move the recently rescued animals inside.
This task naturally fell to Yang Lin himself.
Half an hour later, a peculiar scene unfolded within the Xihong Zoo.
The main road, which should have been crowded with tourists, had been cleared in advance.
As Yang Lin appeared, black bears bandaged up, along with other animals, were transported in open-top vehicles towards the southeast corner of the park.
When they reached the end of the road, a vast forest appeared before them.
