Super Zoo-Chapter 805 - 784 Purpose Unknown

Suming glanced at his cellphone which had no signal and thought to himself that his luck wasn't too bad; at least he had said everything that needed to be said.

Based on the results Shen Yan obtained through comparing surveillance video footage and the fact that he had previously bribed two college students to steal monkey fur, two things could be ascertained at least.

First, Professor Aisenburg was definitely more than a simple animal lover. He'd visited the zoo more than twenty times in half a year, clearly with a purpose in mind, and if not mistaken, what he wanted was the part of the animals that carried genes. With this assumption, it's easy to explain why the finless porpoise immediately fled after he touched it in the footage - if not mistaken, the ring he wore likely contained a needle-like device for extracting genes.

Second, the animals he chose were all protected species in Huaxia, many of which are unique to Huaxia. Genetic samples of these animals are very difficult to obtain abroad and are considered rare even in Huaxia. The Yangchuan City Zoo had, over the past year, through financial investments and Suming's own efforts, gathered a large number of rare and protected animals. This is why Professor Aisenburg chose to target Yangchuan City Zoo.

After establishing contact with Yangchuan Medical University, Suming had casually brought up Professor Aisenburg in conversation with the college and hadn't heard of his need for samples for genetic research.

If it were legitimate research requiring genetic samples, he could have used his status as a visiting professor to obtain them through the university.

"Big brother, look, are we about to arrive?"

Chengcheng's voice came through, interrupting Suming's thoughts.

The sound of flowing water was soothing, as the carriage had arrived at the edge of the forest, with a rapidly flowing creek ahead, whose source and end could not be seen from afar, dividing the forest from the mountains on the opposite side.

Following the route pointed out by Avitu, if one walked upstream along the creek, Eibek Castle would come into view.

"Don't worry, let the wolf pack rest for half an hour before we continue on the road," Suming said, patting Chengcheng's watermelon-seed-shaped head.

Putting aside Professor Aisenburg's questions for the moment, according to the information at hand, it wasn't certain that he meant harm to Yangchuan City Zoo; it just so happened that the zoo had the animal genes he needed. Taking some fur wouldn't hurt the animals, and there were too many such secretive deals and research going on around the world. Suming felt there was no need to be overly anxious about everything. All he needed to do was enhance security once back in the country.

This trip to Romania was not only about personally visiting Eibek Castle to 'declare sovereignty' but also to handle a happy life event for Suming, so it might be best to set aside these worrisome matters for the time being.

The eight wolves' combined strength was no less than that of four horses, but wolves do not have the same endurance as horses. After driving for more than an hour, they too were somewhat weary. The carriage stopped by the creek, the wolves' reins were loosened, and the Grey Wolves lined up, lowering their heads to lap water from the stream. One of the female wolves was even lucky enough to catch a big-bellied white fish swept to the shore by the current, feasting heartily.

Everyone got out of the carriage. Since entering the mountains, they had been traveling for nearly three hours. Although the road could not be said to be rugged, it was not a royal road either, and the comfort of the carriage was incomparable with a car. It was a good opportunity to stretch while the wolves rested.

"It's so cool!" Chengcheng removed her sports shoes and sat on a large rock by the riverbank. Just as she dipped her feet into the stream, she quickly withdrew them.

"Oh, pretty little girl, be careful not to catch a chill. The streams in the mountains are very cold, do not equate stream water with the tap water in the city. Even locals like us, if we drink a few gulps, will get a stomachache," Avitu kindly explained.

The coldness of mountain spring water is difficult to explain. According to the thermometer, the temperature of mountain spring water is only slightly lower than that of tap water and far from freezing. But those who often go to the mountains know well that it's better to eat ice rather than drink spring water.

According to some traditional Huaxia beliefs, because spring water comes from underground and flows over the stony ground, it carries the earth's yin energy. The scenes frequently seen in TV dramas, where characters casually scoop up and drink spring water, are generally misleading; it can upset one's stomach the very same day.

However, not drinking spring water during summer doesn't pose a big problem in winter. Nature's creations always have their mysteries.

The scenery here is indeed exquisite; rushing streams collide with rocks large and small, breaking into a spray of droplets before gathering again and flowing on. The nearby ridges across the stream, with their wrinkles formed by countless years of weathering, seemed rugged and precipitous.

Looking into the distance, one can see a faint glint of crystals atop a faraway mountain, obviously a glacier covered in white snow, which contrasts with the hot springs often found in the mountains, creating a beauty of divergence.

During the rest, a few wolves and the young Labrador named Ashis kept to themselves at what each considered a safe distance, seemingly with mutual disdain. True to the breed that the British Royal Family has loved for hundreds of years, the not yet fully-grown Ashis showed no fear in the face of eight large Grey Wolves, ready to spring into action. freёweɓnovel.com

Several girls took out their cameras and snapped away relentlessly. Chengcheng transformed into a little model, striking poses. Under Avitu's anxious gaze, this brazen little girl, Xiao Ya, even dared to wrap an arm around each wolf's neck for a photo, their three heads close together. Both Grey Wolves looked helplessly resigned, while Chengcheng's smile was radiant.

Just as they were about to set off again, both the Grey Wolves and Ashis suddenly started barking furiously at the opposite bank of the river.

A brown bear appeared on the other bank, twisting its massive body!

There are many species of bears in the Carpathian Mountains, with brown bears alone estimated to be over six thousand. Despite the bear's sudden appearance, it was not too surprising; instead, there was a sense of fulfilled anticipation as if expecting to finally see a bear.

The river was rapid, and wide enough that on either side, each party just watched the other, neither side having any intention of attacking.

After squatting by the river for a good while, the brown bear finally caught a big fish, contentedly twisted its massive body, and walked away with the fish in its mouth.

After this little interlude, they set off again, the carriage climbing up the rocky path along the river. Halfway up, they heard the faint roar of an airplane in the sky above. It's said that tourists often fly their own helicopters into the mountains in search of wild hot springs and undeveloped ski spots for an adventurous experience.

The wolf-drawn vehicle slowly climbed higher, and with the increasing altitude, the river beside them gradually turned into a canyon. The drop increased, and the sound of the water grew louder.

As evening approached, a natural stone bridge, tens of meters long, extended between two mountains across the canyon.

On the other side stood a black castle, imposing and solemn.

Finally, they reached their destination—Eibek Castle.
