In the Qinling Mountains late at night, the forest, which should have been shrouded in darkness, was incredibly lively.
All the animals, as if summoned by something, were collectively moving rapidly in one direction.
Among these animals were carnivores and herbivores, large and small.
Many were even natural enemies.
Yet, at this moment, these animals seemed to have abandoned all their hatred, their goal unprecedentedly unified.
After running for an unknown amount of time, a clearing in the mountains appeared before them.
As time slowly passed, more and more animals gathered in the clearing.
An hour later, the number of animals had reached an astonishing level, with many rare animals rarely seen on ordinary days.
It was at this moment that a figure suddenly leaped down from the largest tree in the center of the clearing.
"There are so many of them. It seems the reputation of the Qinling Mountains as a biological treasure trove is well deserved."
As he spoke, Yang Lin's gaze swept over the diverse array of animals surrounding him.
To his surprise, among the many animals, he even spotted three pandas.
However, his target this time was clearly not these pandas.
His gaze shifted, his attention locking onto the group of carnivores, especially one magnificent striped tiger.
Looking at the Qinling tiger, which was a size smaller than a Siberian tiger, Yang Lin's eyes were filled with excitement.
He had initially gone with a trial-and-error approach, never expecting to actually find a Qinling tiger in this mountain forest.
"Since there's the first, there will be a second. Let's look around and see if we can find a mate."
Having made up his mind, Yang Lin redistributed the animals in the area.
He ensured a balance of carnivores and herbivores in each zone.
He also created opportunities for animals of different sexes that would never have met otherwise, playing the role of a matchmaker.
Although it seemed to disrupt the natural order, in his opinion, it was merely readjusting the ecosystem that had already been disrupted by humans.
With the blessing of the "Son of the Forest," it was no exaggeration to say that Yang Lin was the spokesperson for the natural will of this region.
After the initial adjustments in the current area were complete, he headed to the next zone.
He worked until the early hours of the morning before returning to his hotel.
After sleeping for only two or three hours, his hotel room door was knocked on by staff from the Forestry Bureau.
As soon as the door opened, the Forestry Bureau staff member said excitedly:
"Director Yang, have you heard? Last night, villagers in many places heard strange calls coming from the Qinling Mountains."
"They said it sounded like wild men."
"The forest rangers we arranged also said they saw wild men jumping around in the mountains last night."
As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Lin, who had been looking sleepy, immediately perked up.
"Wild men? Impossible, it's 2023, how can there still be wild men?"
"They must have mistaken. Perhaps it was an ape or a monkey."
He never imagined that his few roars in the mountains in the middle of the night would be heard by someone.
Just as he thought he would get away with it easily, the Forestry Bureau staff member mysteriously opened his phone.
"Director Yang, I have something good here. Do you want to see it?"
"What?"
"No need, it's so early in the morning."
As soon as he finished speaking, a video on the phone was already playing.
Yang Lin looked closely and realized that the video seemed to be from a surveillance camera, with a number in the upper right corner.
Qinling—d304 Ecological Station.
Of course, this was not the point. The main point was that in this surveillance video, a human-shaped dark figure was seen speeding past from high in the air.
And not long after, a group of various animals, as if driven mad, rushed in one direction.
With just one glance, Yang Lin knew what was going on.
"This was captured by the ecological monitoring probes we placed in the Qinling Mountains last night."
"Not only did it capture that wild man, but it also captured the animals having a big meeting."
"You are an expert, can you explain to me what is going on?"
The grassroots staff member from the Forestry Bureau looked at Yang Lin expectantly.
After about ten seconds, Yang Lin pretended to speak with a serious expression:
"Has this video been leaked?"
Although he didn't understand why Yang Lin suddenly asked this, the other person still shook his head.
"Not yet."
"Alright, do not spread it around. I'll secretly tell you, there really are wild men in the Qinling Mountains. I don't usually tell people about this."
"As for these animals, based on my analysis, they must have gone to a group fight."
"Really?" The Forestry Bureau staff member, who was only in his early twenties, still showed a hint of doubt regarding Yang Lin's statement.
"I'm an expert, I wouldn't lie to you."
"That's true."
After speaking, the young man from the Forestry Bureau seemed to recall something and quickly added:
"Oh right, Director Yang, your zoo's three wild boars have arrived. Do you want to go and see them?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise appeared on Yang Lin's face.
"Where were they transported to?"
"Ye Zhu Ba Village, the place where you gathered yesterday."
"Alright, wait for me. We'll leave immediately."
...
After their conversation, Yang Lin quickly arrived at the temporary camp from the previous day by car.
Before his arrival, a large number of media reporters and relevant personnel were already waiting there.
Some iron fences for confining wild boars had even been set up at the scene.
When everyone saw Yang Lin arrive, they immediately crowded around him.
However, Yang Lin ignored them at this moment and walked directly towards a large truck carrying pigs.
As soon as he approached the large truck, pig squeals came from inside.
Clearly, the three wild boars inside had already sensed Yang Lin's presence.
Seeing that Yang Lin was about to open the rear door of the cargo compartment, the crowd that had been surrounding him quickly retreated to an open space nearby.
Although everyone knew that the animals from Xihong Zoo were not like ordinary animals and would not attack humans.
But what was inside the compartment were three large wild boars. Judging from some videos and pictures circulating online, all the animals from Xihong Zoo were larger than ordinary animals.
Wild boars were no exception.
Amidst fear and anticipation, Yang Lin opened the compartment door.
The next second, three behemoths rushed out of the truck.
With three thuds, three black-skinned wild boars, larger than domestic pigs and resembling small tanks, appeared before everyone's eyes.
Of course, if it were just their large size, what made everyone's scalp tingle even more was the cold glint emanating from their tusks.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the tusks of these wild boars were made of alloy.
Such a robust physique combined with top-tier equipment bestowed by humans, which sow would not be mesmerized?
Unconsciously, everyone could imagine the scene of these three officially enlisted wild boars from Xihong Zoo roaming the wilderness.
