Chapter 27: Small Working Group
Xu Ying nodded, not knowing how to describe the feeling she was hearing. It was like her brain had its own translator: "I can communicate with cats without any obstacles!"

"Their meows fall into my ears, and I can naturally understand what they mean."

“Not just cats, but also bears.”

At this point, Xu Ying looked around: "Oh, where's Brother Gobi Bear who made such a great contribution?"

She looked everywhere for the Gobi bear and finally found that it had hidden away from the crowd.

Xu Ying said to Chen Su, "Sorry, I have to leave for a while."

"I don't know why, but Brother Bear has become introverted lately."

Chen Su saw the introverted-looking big bear in the distance and nodded with a smile. It turned out that these animals were so interesting, with even more distinct personalities than humans.

Xu Ying handed the little sand cat to the care of the black serval and came to the Gobi bear.

"Brother Xiong, thank you for today!"

Xu Ying patted its shoulder and said, "By the way, how is Mrs. Xiong doing now? I remember she's due in less than a month."

The Gobi Bear's dark eyes widened in surprise, and he scratched his head shyly and said, "I'm still single."
[Did you recognize the wrong bear? This is the first time we meet.]
Xu Ying was stunned when he heard this. He looked at the Gobi bear carefully and found that there was no wound on its arm.

She was so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and crawl into the ground, but suddenly she became polite and courteous: "I'm sorry, brother, I was too anxious at the time, and you were so cooperative with me, so I didn't notice anything unusual."

"Sorry to trouble you, if there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."

Seeing Xu Ying's awkward look, Gobi Bear also felt awkward for a moment: "How about you just treat me the same way as before?"
The way it scratches its head looks silly, yet also very sincere.

[This would make me feel like I'm being treated as a friend. I don't have any friends, and I feel very lonely in this desert area.]
Xu Ying actually felt that she saw loneliness and sadness in the eyes of the Gobi bear. This Gobi bear was much more sluggish and listless than the bears she had seen before, giving Xu Ying the feeling that its mental state was not very healthy.

She knew that solitary animals could suffer from depression due to lack of social interaction, monotonous environments, or stress.

However, the current animal survey samples are mainly composed of cats and dogs, and it now seems that solitary animals in the desert are no exception.

Depression can reduce an animal's appetite and activity frequency, which can have a negative impact on its physical health and accelerate its death.

[This is such a fun catching people activity, can you take me to play it again in the future?]
Seeing that Xu Ying didn't say anything, the Gobi Bear's voice gradually became smaller and finally he lowered his head, returning to his previous introverted and uneasy look.

Xu Ying didn't say anything because he was stunned by Gobi Bear's words. To Gobi Bear, such a thrilling confrontation with these bad guys was very fun.

"Of course, we can be partners!"

Xu Ying hugged Gobi Bear's arm: "I feel super safe with you around!"

When the Gobi bear heard Xu Ying's affirmative answer, it raised its head in an instant and showed its big white teeth happily.

At this time, Chen Su shouted to Xu Ying from a distance: "Stationmaster Xu, we can call it a day!"

"The fifth person has been found."

With the exact location, Commander Qin's colleagues dispatched a reconnaissance drone and immediately locked onto the fifth spy.

"Do you want a ride out of no man's land?"

Xu Ying said to Gobi Bear, "Follow me later. We are going back."

Then he trotted over to Chen Su and said, "I came here on a motorcycle, but I really wanted to take a ride."

Xu Ying pointed at the black serval and the little sand cat and asked, "Can these two of my accomplices give you a ride?"

"Oh, right." Xu Ying dragged the eldest gerbil out of the sand pit, "and this one too!"

Chen Su and his colleagues stared at the two cats and one mouse in front of them, their eyes wide open. Their police car had been ridden by all kinds of people, but this was the first time they had encountered such a rare guest!
Chen Su opened the back door and made an inviting gesture: "Then, three great heroes, please get in the car?"

Xu Ying put the little sand cat on the back seat of the car, and the black serval jumped into the car nimbly.

The remaining gerbil boss was trembling in fear: [Shushu, are you sure you want to go with these two cats?]
Chen Su saw the gerbil standing still on the ground like a sculpture and couldn't help but laugh. He stretched out his hand towards it and said, "Why don't you stay in my pocket?"

The gerbil turned its small eyes and looked at Chen Su. How come this guy has the same temperament as the black serval? That kind of righteous aura is what mice like it who like to play tricks are most afraid of.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, it still followed Chen Su.

The little animals followed and got on the ride, while Xu Ying went to start his motorcycle.

She was about to start the motorcycle when she heard a sad voice at her feet: [Partner, partner, I'm looking for a partner.]
Xu Ying looked down and saw a king cobra crawling darkly at his feet.

She slapped her forehead and almost forgot about their single "king".

"Okay, okay, I'll go back and send you a marriage announcement."

Upon hearing this, the King Cobra stood up its upper body and skillfully coiled around the bar of Xu Ying's motorcycle with enchanting movements.

A man and a snake headed towards the 032 rescue station.

An hour and a half later, Xu Ying arrived at the 032 rescue station and found that the two cats were already waiting for her to open the door.

The black serval nodded at her: [The gerbil ran into your house as soon as it got out of the car.]
"Awaited!"

Xu Ying parked the motorcycle, took out the key and opened the door.

I happened to see the gerbil boss picking up biscuit crumbs on the ground and eating them.

The little sand cat suddenly lowered its head and moved closer to the gerbil boss.

The big gerbil was caught off guard and was frightened by the hot air exhaled from the little sand cat's nose. He froze in place and thought that the little sand cat would bite his neck off in the next second.

As a result, the little sand cat just kissed its head and nudged it.

[Thank you, little gerbil!]
The eldest gerbil was kissed by the cat and was stunned, standing there in a daze.

It was about to cover its face in embarrassment, but the next second it heard the little sand cat say: "I won't eat you today, I'll eat you next time."
The gerbil leader immediately ran away with his brothers, and Xu Ying didn't even have time to say hello to him.

"Forget it, I'll just go to Boss Gerbil's house to look for it next time."

Xu Ying shook her head and turned around to see five little fennec foxes poking their heads out from behind the airline box, like gophers poking their heads out: [Sister, you're back~~~]
Xu Ying was happy again. She called the names of the five little foxes one by one and introduced their new friend, the little sand cat, to them.

Xu Ying discussed with the black serval and decided that the little sand cat should stay in the rescue station to recuperate first, and then "learn skills" from the black serval after its wounds healed.

At this time, Xu Ying's phone vibrated and Ning Zexi sent a message.

"Stationmaster Xu, I have successfully applied to be a temporary aid worker."

"After handing over the work to the person in charge, I was added to the work group chat. Why aren't you in the group?"

Small work group?

Xu Ying had a bad feeling when she heard those four words. She had seen dramas where five people in a dorm had six small groups.

The next second, she received a message from Ning Zexi.

"Damn it! They're bullying you in the group chat and saying they're going to report you."
