Su Yanke's body nimbly leaped onto the cylindrical pillar and stood there steadily without the slightest sway.
Just as the trainers were about to whip her to goad her on, Su Yanke, like a leopard, suddenly dashed out.
These trainers had been in this business for over a decade, but they had never seen a lion with such good balance and such a high degree of coordination.
The thought of whipping them faded away. If they could train these animals in the shortest possible time, wouldn't they gain the boss's favor and get a raise? That would be wonderful!
With this thought in mind, the malicious looks in the trainers' eyes when they looked at Su Yanke and the others turned into greed.
Yuan Hexiao felt relieved seeing their reaction. It seemed that these people had realized their value, and they shouldn't be beaten for no reason anymore.
However, Yuan Hexiao's prediction was a bit off. Although the trainers wouldn't whip them recklessly, the training became even stricter and more demanding.
The training tasks that should have taken three days were compressed into one and a half days.
But thanks to Yuan Hexiao's protection, Su Yanke and the others didn't get beaten.
During each training session, Yuan Hexiao would go first, figure out the rules, explain them to Su Yanke, and then let Su Yanke take over.
If Su Yanke made a mistake and someone nearby wanted to beat her, Yuan Hexiao would act crazily and try to bite the person who wanted to beat Su Yanke.
The trainers found that as long as they had the thought of punishing the lions, the smart tiger would go crazy. So they didn't dare to take action anymore because they were afraid of provoking the tiger and affecting the entire training process.
In the following days, they didn't get any new injuries, and their old wounds began to scab. Everything was moving in a positive direction.
Su Yanke and Yuan Hexiao performed extremely well, which made the trainers treasure them like precious jewels. They even got a new place to sleep.
It wasn't as luxurious as a five - star hotel, just a simple warehouse. But compared to the previous environment, it was like heaven.
The previous place was filled with all kinds of animals. All kinds of excrement were in the same room, and the mixed smell was unbearable.
Especially there were some rusty control knives randomly placed on the ground. As long as small dogs, monkeys, or sheep moved a little, there would be a clattering sound.
Su Yanke was already on edge about the environment. She would wake up at the slightest sound to see what was going on. She would be woken up more than ten times a night.
Fortunately, now she could sleep a bit longer.
Don't think that Su Yanke had only been training in these days and done nothing else.
She found out the location of the nursing department. She pretended to be sick and went in several times, stealing some pain - relieving and wound - healing medicine and secretly giving it to the elephant that had given her watermelon.
She didn't have the ability to get it out of this environment yet, but she could do a little bit. At least it could sleep a few good nights without being in pain all night.
Most importantly, she had long observed and understood the nearby situation. Their show was going to start the next Saturday. Before their performance, those people would hold a party three days before the show.
Su Yanke and Yuan Hexiao targeted this opportunity. They wanted to lead some animals to escape when those people were all together and the defense was the weakest.
The reason why Su Yanke took the risk to escape was that she accidentally witnessed a shocking scene.
One day, after their training, Su Yanke and the others entered a rest room in advance. There was a huge pool inside.
Su Yanke got closer and couldn't see the bottom or the top. It must have taken a huge amount of work to build it. But it was only used as a circus on the surface. Wasn't it suspicious?
And the colosseum from last time seemed to be here too. So it was very likely that this place was originally built as a zoo.
Later, for some unknown reason, it was turned into a large - scale illegal wildlife trafficking base.
Just then, a shadow fell over Su Yanke's head.
Su Yanke looked up and saw a dolphin that was extremely thin compared to other dolphins. Su Yanke could feel its lonely and desperate aura. It was just sinking without any movement.
What attracted Su Yanke's attention the most were the wounds stitched with threads, which were extremely prominent and uncomfortable.
Just as Su Yanke was wondering why it was like this and how the wounds came about, she heard a trainer shouting loudly.
"Where's Xiaojin? This dolphin is causing trouble again. Hurry up and take care of it. It acts like it's going to die if I don't watch it for a moment. So pretentious."
Next, Su Yanke heard some fragmented details and understood the general situation.
Actually, this dolphin was quite fateful to Su Yanke. If it weren't for it, she might not have been bought and be with Yuan Hexiao.
When Su Yanke was about to be locked in the car door, the sudden earthquake was actually the sound it made by ramming into the wall.
Because of this, the tiger that hadn't been locked in the cage was released, and then a series of things happened, and she was left behind.
And this dolphin was also bleeding profusely from the ramming. It was a life - risking way of ramming.
It was obvious that it was ramming with the intention of seeking death, but it was saved in time by the nursing department and survived.
But only its body was alive, and its soul had already died.
This dolphin was originally fished up and sold to a continent far away from the ocean, far away from its home and relatives. It was playing happily with its mother and brothers when it was fished up, but in an instant, its family was broken up.
Here, it missed its relatives every day. But the trainers here didn't care about its feelings. They trained it every day. If it didn't obey, it would be beaten. Going hungry was a common thing.
After staying in such an environment for a year, it suffered from severe depression. Finally, it broke out this time, but even the right to die was not given to it here.
When you can't even decide your own life and death, can you understand this kind of pain and despair?
Sure enough, in these days, everything was as Su Yanke and the others had expected. Preparations for the party were in full swing.
The time had come to a critical moment. On the evening of the party, Su Yanke and Yuan Hexiao used the keys they had stolen to unlock the door.
There was almost no one walking outside at this time. Su Yanke and Yuan Hexiao split up. Yuan Hexiao went to unlock the large animals, and Su Yanke was in charge of the small animals.
They took action while those people were drinking happily. Once a large number of animals ran out together, it would take those people a long time to chase them. As long as a few animals could escape, it would be helpful.
Everything was going smoothly. After going through countless intersections, the animals led by Su Yanke finally reached the main gate. But a new problem arose.
None of the keys Su Yanke had could unlock the main gate. There were barbed iron spikes on both sides of the gate and a terrifying electric grid.
Just when Su Yanke was at a loss, the large animals led by Yuan Hexiao also arrived at the main gate.
Su Yanke briefly told Yuan Hexiao about the difficulties they had encountered.
"We don't have the key, and there's an electric grid on the gate and the wall, and there are barbs on it. It would be great if we had electric - insulated armor. Wait, electric - insulated!"
Su Yanke suddenly thought of something. She turned around and ran to a place. After a while, she came back with several large rubber rings.
Su Yanke thought that rubber could insulate electricity, and there were several large rubber rings in the training ground, which could just be used to solve this problem.
Yuan Hexiao chose a place on the wall that seemed easy to ram, put the large rubber ring beside the gate, and then rammed it first. After finding that there was no problem, she let the stronger animals take over.
This way, the efficiency was higher. Now they were racing against time, so they did things in the most efficient way.
Sure enough, the bear and the elephant took turns ramming, and soon there were faint cracks on the wall.
But just then, an unexpected coincidence happened. One of the people who was drinking too much went out to pee. Unfortunately, he just saw Su Yanke going back to get the large rubber ring.
He followed Su Yanke and saw a very astonishing scene. These animals were actually escaping in a group?
After making this discovery, he immediately went back to inform the others. Soon, at the same time when Su Yanke and the others rammed a crack in the wall, those people arrived.
What followed was a battle between freedom and desire.
Human desire for money and animal desire for freedom.
If it were a bare - handed fight, freedom would surely win. But obviously, humans weren't that stupid.
Soon, a large number of animals led by Su Yanke were electrocuted and fainted. Su Yanke was determined to let these animals return to their own homes, so she actively attracted the firepower of the battle.
Yuan Hexiao obviously wouldn't let Su Yanke be in danger alone and also joined the battle. Sure enough, with their participation, the situation improved.
Su Yanke had the foresight to destroy the remote control that controlled her and Yuan Hexiao when she released the small animals, just in case something like this happened.
However, Su Yanke underestimated human desire. In the face of the desire for money, what wouldn't those people do?
They threw the knives and electric batons aside and took out their self - defense weapons... guns.
As soon as Su Yanke saw the guns, she knew it was over. She never expected that these people would have guns.
Weren't guns supposed to be confiscated by the state?
Just as the guns were taken out, the wall behind them couldn't bear the weight and collapsed.
The bear that had been ramming the wall and the elephant covered in wounds collapsed to the ground. They were too tired. Their daily food was very shabby. As long as they didn't starve to death, it was okay. Their bodies were already weak, and such a strenuous physical task had exhausted them.
Seeing that they could get out, Su Yanke wanted to buy time for them. Anyway, she didn't plan to live. She would use her life to buy them time to escape.
Run! Run! Run freely towards freedom!
Su Yanke rushed towards a man holding a gun. A gunshot rang out. Su Yanke was stunned and saw a scene that almost made her collapse.
