Within the stray cat community, the appearance of the Northeast Golden Tabby instantly dispelled the previous joyful atmosphere.
"This is also a stray cat?"
This thought involuntarily crossed everyone's mind.
Although they had already accepted the fact that animals were kept freely within Animal City, they clearly hadn't expected that even fierce beasts like tigers were at large.
After the shock, everyone immediately descended into chaos.
"We're going to die, we're going to die! How could we run into a tiger? Where are the security guards, where are they?"
"Should we run? I feel like it's looking at us the wrong way."
"Just like how I look at our pet cat."
"Isn't that Shuai Shuai? I'm going to say hello to him, I even fed him a free-range chicken last time."
"Shuai your grandpa! That's the Northeast tiger transported from the Diannan Zoo, you've mistaken the tiger."
"It's okay, it's just an ordinary tiger, not at Hua Dajie's level. With so many of us, what are we afraid of?"
"It's an ordinary tiger, and we're ordinary people."
...
Just as everyone was trembling in fear of the Northeast Golden Tabby's aura, the tiger itself meandered its way to a self-service feeding machine.
The next second, to the astonishment of the tourists, it stuck its head under the feeding machine and pressed the button next to it. Instantly, a large amount of cat food dropped into its mouth.
After pressing the button several times, it seemed to have eaten its fill. It then stood up and proceeded to press another button.
"Cat food for sale, 10 yuan per portion. Please pay before taking your food. Offer your love to stray cats."
Listening to the electronic voice from the feeding machine, before everyone could comprehend what was happening, the Northeast Golden Tabby nudged a metal bucket from the side.
And in the metal bucket, there seemed to be some change for transactions.
Seeing this scene, the tourists immediately understood why a Northeast tiger had appeared here.
"Holy cow, so it turns out this Northeast tiger's job is to sell cat food."
"Who would dare take it without paying? What happened to trust?"
"Is this considered abuse of power? It's just stuffing itself."
"Hilarious. Putting it in charge of this vending machine is like asking Sun Wukong to guard the Peach Garden."
"Director Yang probably never imagined that he would be backstabbed by a tiger. The amount sold today is probably less than what this tiger ate."
...
Once they understood the situation, everyone immediately let go of their guard and occasionally bought portions of cat food from the vending machine, feeding the stray cats on the spot. Even the Northeast Golden Tabby guarding the machine benefited.
After everyone had fed all the stray cats present, they headed towards the next area.
Soon, a road sign appeared before them.
【Carnivore Zone】
Seeing this sign, the relaxed mood of the crowd immediately turned tense again.
"Carnivores? Won't it all be lions and tigers?"
"Why don't we visit other areas first? Let's skip this one, I'm afraid we'll become meat."
"It shouldn't be like that. And look at the map, there's a restaurant and a guesthouse in the carnivore zone."
"Huh? There are restaurants and places to stay here?"
"Look, it's marked on the map here."
As they spoke, their gazes were drawn to the park map nearby.
On the map, a restaurant called "Gou Xiong Ling Food City" and a guesthouse named "Yang Cun Village Guesthouse" instantly captured everyone's attention.
"There really are restaurants and places to stay! Are they also run by animals?"
At this moment, the slight fear in their hearts was instantly dispelled by curiosity.
Driven by strong curiosity, the tourists mustered their courage and walked into the carnivore zone.
As soon as they entered, a resident information board appeared before them.
Registration photos of different animals were neatly pasted on it. Below each photo were details like the animal's name, age, and room number, which the tourists found fascinating.
However, before they could search for the corresponding animals based on their room numbers, a large black bear wearing an apron walked over with a stack of flyers.
Upon reaching the crowd, it immediately pressed a button on its body.
"Hello, I am Xiong Da, a waiter at Gou Xiong Ling Food City. Lunch today will be provided free of charge. Please follow me."
As soon as it finished speaking, it skillfully handed out flyers to everyone.
Witnessing its magical operation, everyone then discovered that the sign for Gou Xiong Ling Food City was clearly displayed in front of a house nearby.
And inside the house, several large bears, also wearing aprons, were busy working.
"Wow, it's really all bears."
"Is that bear grilling sausages?"
"Good heavens, they're pouring salt like crazy."
"Why is the chef eating himself? After washing a basket of fruit, is there anything left?"
"They're not treating us like outsiders at all, directly putting meal packs into lunch boxes."
"Good heavens! The bear paw is placed directly on top of the rice. Don't stop me, I didn't expect to eat bear paw over rice today."
"Clean and hygienic, original ecological cuisine."
"I hope a food blogger comes to review it when it officially opens."
"Why even review it? If you dare say it's not good, the head chef will slap you right in the face."
Although a look of disdain appeared on everyone's faces at this moment, they still held a hint of anticipation as they were led to the restaurant.
Not long after they were seated, portions of food prepared by the bears were served.
Although the presentation of these dishes was somewhat unappetizing, considering they were made by bears, everyone tried them with gritted teeth.
Fortunately, these were pre-prepared meal packs, so they couldn't be too bad no matter what.
Moreover, for most tourists, the purpose of eating here was not to taste gourmet food.
Compared to the taste of the food itself, this magical dining experience was the most important thing.
The only regret was that they couldn't take photos to post online, otherwise, this dining experience would have been even better.
By the time everyone finished their meal, half the day had already passed.
To save time, the tourists immediately formed groups to visit the animals in the carnivore zone.
It was only then that the tourists discovered a strange thing: the animals' dwellings seemed to be composed of two parts.
One part was where the animals lived, and the other part was enclosed.
Just as everyone was puzzled, a house with a sign for Yang Cun Village Guesthouse appeared before them.
ps: It seems I've caught it. My brain feels like it's been stuffed with cement.
