The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 55: Injured Discovered!
The falcons, owls, and other birds of prey spread their wings and flew uniformly towards Dongqing Village.
Above, the vast desert sky displayed a starry river, like a silk ribbon studded with shattered diamonds.
Beneath the Cangqiong, hundreds of birds of prey swooped like fighter jets across the sky, starlight scattered on their plump wings.
As the camera panned down, behind Xu Ying, the Animal Army stood ready on the ground, moonlight casting a flowing mercury layer over their silhouettes.
Their eyes, excellent for nighttime vision, glowed in the night, like flickering ghostly flames, oppressive in their presence.
This scene stunned the live stream viewers, even the photographers who had seen many natural wonders were speechless.
[The feeling of oppression is overwhelming, tremble, rats!]
[So intense, like a group of comic book protagonists!]
[Little Station Chief Xu is so strong, summoning so many animals at once without any fear.]
...
Soon, an owl flew back from the direction of Dongqing Village, landing on Xu Ying’s left arm.
Xu Ying’s left arm was equipped with a specially-made wrist guard to easily accommodate the owl’s landing and prevent injury from its sharp claws.
This owl knew many birds and served as a messenger between Xu Ying and them.
[Little Station Chief, our eagle eyes have spotted the primary rodent infestation zone, it’s in the granary to the southwest of Dongqing Village, the maternity ward of the rat legion.]
"Alright, we’re ready to set out and penetrate deep into the enemy’s heart!"
The owl squirmed a bit bashfully: [Chief, about my wife’s prenatal check-up...]
Owls practice lifelong monogamy, jointly building nests, hunting, incubating, and feeding their chicks, being lifelong comrades and valuing their partners greatly.
Xu Ying patted its furry head to reassure it: "No worries, it’s arranged! As soon as we return, she’ll have a full health check-up!"
The owl flapped its wings excitedly: [Great, great! This way, Chief, I’ll lead the way for you!]
Xu Ying donned her protective mask, wore her protective suit, and carried a medical kit to the outskirts of Dongqing Village.
To prevent the spread of the rodent infestation, Dongqing Village has now been locked down.
Fully equipped as well, Chen Su opened the barricades for her.
Due to the vast number of "borrowed" animals, the organization specially dispatched a police station to maintain order and prevent any accidents.
"Little Station Chief Xu, awaiting your good news."
As Xu Ying passed by, Chen Su whispered softly for only the two to hear: "If tonight’s operations go well, you’ll have a double celebration."
Double celebration?
Could it be that the fifty thousand bounty for catching the spy is about to come through?
Chen Su winked at her and entered the locked area of Dongqing Village first.
Energized as she was, Xu Ying felt even more spirited, grateful for the national reward policies!
She promised to double her efforts!
Under the Owl Messenger’s guidance, Xu Ying led the rodent-catching team straight into action, heading directly to the southwestern granary.
Once orderly, Dongqing Village had become riddled with holes under the rodent plague.
The tracks on the village paths were now overlain with rat claw marks, and every inch of land was filled with dense paw prints.
Beneath the abandoned millstones, clusters of grayish-brown shadows squirmed, as rat swarms jostled for territory.
Their eyes glowed red in the night, like countless miniature warning lights.
Seeing hundreds of animals appearing in the village, the rats’ fur stood on end in horror!
[Oh my! So many predators! Quick, spread the word, inform the others to escape!]
Before the rats could flee, the tiger marten family sprang forward eagerly.
[Don’t run, let me rack up some battle achievements!]
[Son, get in there quickly, don’t lose out from the starting line!]
The tiger marten’s hind legs pushed off the ground with force, and its whole body shot out like an arrow released from a bowstring.
The rat could only let out a short squeal before the tiger marten bit down accurately on its hindneck.
The tiger marten’s canines pierced through the rat’s spine, leaving the prey limp in an instant.
The online viewers, who were initially amused by the tiger marten’s rough and cute appearance, were left dumbfounded by this scene.
[Just watched the documentary, the tiger marten’s teeth are incredibly lethal and can crush a rat’s head outright!]
[Wow, no wonder it’s achieved a record of three hundred rats in one night!]
[Would the tiger marten like to feast on spicy rat heads and brain paskha?]
The tiger marten family’s rapid actions prompted the other small animals to step up their game; wherever they passed, rats met their doom.
As they neared the heart of the rat base at the granary, Xu Ying signaled the animals to divide into four groups, encircling the granary.
The granary door hung askew on the hinges, and the interior echoed with squeaking at different pitches.
Peeking through the gaps, stacks of grain husks seemed to flow strangely—
because thousands of rats scurried beneath them.
Occasionally, particularly large individuals peeked out from the grain heaps.
Their oily pelts shone glisteningly, and their incisors resembled sharp chisels.
The sight of these plump rats made the animals behind Xu Ying, who’d come prepared for a feast by skipping meals, have eyes glisten with anticipation.
King Cobra Old Wang led the Snake Clan’s charge stealthily.
Usually not very active in rat hunting, as King Cobras primarily consume other snakes with young snakes opting for rats since they’re smaller and find catching rodents more convenient.
However, one statement from Xu Ying motivated it.
With so many rats here, what if a female King Cobra brought her young for a buffet?
Thus, King Cobra Old Wang eagerly followed, impatient to display its prowess, slipped into the granary, swallowing one rat per bite.
The Snake Clan slipped around soundlessly, and by the time the rats noticed, the granary was already crawling with snakes!
Some of the young mice even foamed at the mouth, dying from fright.
The rats fled in a panic, but the sand cats and foxes waited at the prominent rat holes with great patience, catching each one without fail.
The fortunate rats that escaped, thinking themselves safe as they left the granary, were taken down by high-speed falcons diving from above, delivering a fatal blow.
Falcons are the fastest animals among birds, accustomed to flying high and then diving down to strike prey, with a visual resolution eight times that of humans, sniping rats from the air as if utilizing an eight-time magnification scope.
Diving at speeds of up to 380 kilometers per hour makes it impossible to clearly see how they struck the ground prey even with video in slow-motion.
Specializing in breaching rat tunnels directly, the tiger martens dug through rat holes near the granary, besieging nests one by one; urinating in the nests of well-hidden rats to flush them out.
The animal ensemble both competed and collaborated in their efforts, providing extremely high entertainment value and opening a new door for live stream audiences.
[I never thought I’d stay up all night watching other animals catch rats; it’s truly exhilarating!]
[Every small animal has its own method of killing rats, isn’t this more thrilling than current action films?]
[Thinking of their efforts now in helping humans eradicate the rodent problem, it’s so moving. I’m generally indifferent to animals, but now I understand their importance.]
The rat-catching operation proceeded furiously, with Commander Xu Ying closely receiving updates from the aerial courier, ready to support at any moment.
[Chief, there are injured on the scene!]
