Chapter 31 part 2

The sky outside the dormitory building was already bright, and the weather was beautiful, with a clear blue sky and a gentle breeze. However, this was slightly unfavorable for Wang Tianba. As a nocturnal bird of prey, she rarely ventured out in such sunlight. Even when hunting during the day, it was usually in the early morning or late afternoon, and the dense foliage of the forest provided ample shade, minimizing the impact of the daylight on her hunting.

But now, there was no cover whatsoever, and this environment was very uncomfortable for her.

“Goo hoo!”

Wang Tianba hopped onto Kong Bi’s instep, her wings tightly hugging Kong Bi’s leg. Her nictitating membranes covered half of her eyes, finally providing some relief from the harsh sunlight.

Kong Bi reached out and picked it up to prevent it from hindering her walking, and walked all the way to the cafeteria.

The canteen aunt in charge of cooking hadn’t come yet, after all, it was too early, but she was able to make lunch in time. Fortunately, most of the people had experience in going out in the wild, not without any cooking experience. Even if Quan Xiangsong didn’t have time to cook, they had stewed a pot of vegetable porridge, paired with the salted eggs that Kong Bi had bought from the old farmer before. Although breakfast couldn’t be said to be rich, it wasn’t cold.

Seeing Kong Bi come in, the canteen was quiet.

It’s not that they didn’t want to say hello, but they were afraid that too many people would scare Wang Tianba. It’s just that everyone was experienced and had the same idea, which resulted in such a strange scene.

They couldn’t help but look at Wang Tianba in Kong Bi’s arms. Although they had already learned the whole story from Quan Xiangsong, they couldn’t help but widen their eyes when they saw Wang Tianba so docile.

You know, after Kong Bi left yesterday, it wasn’t that no one else tried to approach Wang Tianba. However, perhaps because of Li Xiangdong, Wang Tianba was very agitated when they approached. Even when they were still outside the door, she would start hooting warnings. So, one by one, the people who had gathered had to go back. Although they were indeed very curious about what had happened to Wang Tianba, they didn’t ignore the feelings of the bird involved.

Forcing her to be approached would only make her more hostile, which would be detrimental to their subsequent research.

“Director Kong, come sit here.”

Someone specially placed a bowl of porridge on an empty table.

Kong Bi said helplessly, “Teacher Li, I can just sit with you all.”

“That won’t do. What if we scare her?” Li Li’en immediately retorted.

Too many strange smells approaching are enough to make a brave bird of prey feel uneasy. Kong Bi heard this and had to let them go. She put Wang Tianba on the stool and sat aside. She picked up the bowl and drank half a bowl of porridge in one breath.

Everyone seemed to have finished their discussion. Only Quan Xiangsong and Li Lien came over and sat on the side away from Kong Bi.

Wang Tianba glanced at the two moving humanoid creatures, and quickly turned her eyes away without interest, squinting her eyes to look at the strange food Kong Bi was eating.

Why did the boss eat such strange things? Could it become stronger by eating these?

Can it be exchanged for mice?

Seeing that Wang Tianba did not reject their approach, Quan Xiangsong could not help but breathe a sigh of relief. It seemed that their rejection yesterday was indeed Li Xiangdong’s problem. It was completely an unprovoked disaster. Wang Tianba was still very friendly.

Although the treatment was very different from Kong Bi.

But they didn’t mind. Everyone had experienced this kind of differential treatment a few times. Human compatibility is sometimes quite magical. Some people, despite never doing anything wrong, are disliked by dogs and cats. Other people have never fed or petted a cat, yet cats and dogs insist on ‘bumping into’ them. What can you do?

Quan Xiangdong smiled and said, “It seems Tianba is still very affectionate. If I had known, I would have approached her directly before, and I could have observed her prey up close.”

By observing the wounds on the prey, they could analyze some useful information. Although they had already witnessed Wang Tianba’s astonishing hunting method yesterday, the environment in the wild is different from that of the rescue area, which could lead to different hunting techniques.

Kong Bi heard this and said, “You can still see them now. Isn’t the biggest rabbit still there? and Chuchu’s mouse hasn’t been eaten yet.” She paused, deep in thought, “But if we just leave like this without dealing with the carcasses, won’t they be dragged away by other animals?”

This zoo is so close to the wild, it’s perfectly normal for animals that don’t belong in the zoo to wander in. They might even be grateful for this gift from nature right now.

Quan Xiangsong couldn’t help but pat his own head, “My brain, I’ll go back and take care of it.”

Because entering the dormitory requires passing through the peacock garden, although others can move around in the peacock garden, they can’t get close to the dormitories behind it. The green peacocks act as the most loyal guards.

And Quan Xiangsong can come and go freely because he has become a long-term resident of the zoo. However, despite this, he will still be followed by a green peacock to monitor him. It can be said that he is quite conscientious.

Although the green peacock will not only stop them, but also stop other animals, there is no guarantee that there will be any fish that slip through the net, so Quan Xiangsong is naturally worried. He drank the porridge in the bowl in one breath, and immediately found a big-sack and carried it out.

Kong Bi took a look, lowered her head and took another sip of porridge, then looked at the middle-aged professor who was already in his prime among the crowd and asked, “Teacher Li, have you seen the surveillance? Do you know how Wang Tianba got out?”

Li Lien nodded, “I have seen it. This little guy is really smart. She opened the door with her claws. It was probably learned when we closed the door.”

As he said this, he took out his mobile phone and flipped through the videos he had downloaded long ago. These professors were so enthusiastic about studying abnormal creatures that they installed cameras everywhere as if they were free, and clearly captured Wang Tianba’s behavior.

In the still of the night, Wang Tianba stretched her wings and then flew directly to the door. One claw gripped the iron door bars, while the other extended to the side latch. With a gentle hook and pull, after a few tries, the iron door swung open.

Old-fashioned iron doors are indeed relatively easy to open, but that depends on who’s doing it. Generally, simply closing the door would have trapped any bird inside. After all, birds aren’t cats or dogs. Although some birds are exceptionally intelligent, they wouldn’t learn how to open a door after just a glance or two. So, no one originally thought there was anything wrong with that way of closing the door.

But no one expected that Wang Tianba happened to be a genius owl in the bird world who had a photographic memory and could learn it in one go.

Kong Bi was also surprised after watching the video, because she didn’t feel anything special about Huajiao. It was just that it could communicate with her fluently compared to ordinary animals. But if you think about it carefully, being able to communicate fluently already shows that its IQ is not bad, and it is enough for them to imitate human behavior to achieve their own goals.

At least opening a door like that was not difficult for them.

Of course, if it were a lock that needed a key to turn, even if they knew how to open it, they could only stare blankly.

While watching the video, Kong Bi served herself another half bowl of porridge, all while dealing with Li Li’en’s various questions.

Li Li’en’s questions weren’t tricky. Perhaps because he didn’t think Kong Bi could answer too many highly specialized questions, the questions he asked were all within Kong Bi’s capabilities. Kong Bi didn’t know what information he could gather from her answers. Anyway, she answered whatever she could, and for what she couldn’t, she simply played dumb. After all, she was just an ordinary person, so it was normal not to understand or know much, right?

She just needed to guard the most crucial secret. The materialistic world wouldn’t lead them to any strange associations because of it.

Despite this, Kong Bi still ate very quickly. She still understood the principle that the more she talked, the more mistakes she made.

As soon as she put the bowl down, Kong Bi felt a sudden weight on her leg.

“Woof meow~”

Chu Chu raised her head and called out to Kong Bi, then stood up, with her two front paws on the table, and her little nose approached the porcelain bowl to smell it.

Soon, it stopped sniffing, stretched out its claws to fiddle with the porcelain bowl, and looked up at Kong Bi and meowed.

“Why do you want to eat everything?” Kong Bi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “There’s not even meat in the porridge.”

Speaking of this, Kong Bi suddenly remembered Chu Chu’s behavior of chewing cabbage before, and found that it was really not picky about food. Maybe it would really eat a bowl of porridge in front of it, and she couldn’t help but be speechless.

Although cats are carnivores, they don’t eat anything else. At least the cats raised in Kongjia Village used to eat noodles and rice. After all, everyone’s family was poor at that time, and there were not even a few mice. If they didn’t eat, they would starve to death. But if there was a choice, most cats would definitely disdain vegetables and grains.

Kong Bi was not sure whether Chu Chu really wanted to eat or was just curious, and didn’t want to eat after a taste, so she couldn’t help but hesitate. But the old professors on the side saw Chu Chu begging for food, and they didn’t know that it had already eaten breakfast. They brought a plastic bag of vegetable porridge soon.

“Tsk, tsk, meow-meow, come here and eat.”

Chuchu, with its above-average feline looks, was just as popular in the human world. Its begging instantly garnered attention, and Chuchu jumped off Kong Bi and rushed over. It wasn’t picky at all, didn’t just take a bite and leave, but actually sat down and started eating.

Coal Boss sat at the door, looking on with a helpless expression.

Someone noticed Coal Boss squatting at the door and warmly invited it, “Hey, you black fat cat over there, come join us for a meal.”

The address changed from “Meow-meow” to “black fat cat” in an instant, which shows that the elderly professors are also judging by looks~
