I raise furry animals and fly them to my motherland.

Chapter 30 Killer Vulture

"Yes, the situation on this joint mission is somewhat serious."

Deputy Director Kuang Ming nodded, his face solemn. "Three days ago, we received a notice from the Xizhou Provincial Police that someone had been caught privately raising a vulture, a first-class protected species in the country."

"According to the suspect, he had previously released six vultures in the desertification management area."

Xu Ying raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Good fellow, he dares to raise a vulture?"

The vulture, also known as the mountain eagle, is a large bird of prey with a wingspan of two or three meters. It has a strong ability to adapt to the environment and is cold-resistant and drought-resistant.

Their mouths are long and pointed, with a curved hook at the front, which makes it easier for them to eat and pull pieces of meat.

This mouth is more brutal than a scalpel and can pull out internal organs.

Xu Ying asked in confusion, "Why does he raise it and then throw it away, and then raise it again after throwing it away? Is there some obsession?"

"For some reason, these vultures have become extremely irritable and aggressive under his training."

Kuang Ming frowned as he spoke. "Unlike wild vultures, which feed on carrion, the vultures the suspects have domesticated will attack live animals."

Ordinary people who have not systematically learned relevant knowledge can easily run into problems when taming this kind of bird of prey, which can lead to injuries to themselves at best and harm to others at worst.

"He was bitten by vultures several times and felt he was useless. He was afraid and didn't want him anymore."

Kuang Ming showed Xu Ying photos of the suspect's domesticated vultures: "He thought the desertification management area was sparsely populated, so he secretly drove a car with these vultures and dropped them off in the desertification management area."

Xu Ying noticed that the vultures in the photo all had a red ribbon tied around their ankles.

"These introduced vultures are extremely destructive and have seriously affected the ecological balance in the desertification control area."

Kuang Ming showed Xu Ying the notice from his superiors: "We have received orders from our superiors to find these foreign vultures and transfer them to the Raptor Conservation Center."

Xu Ying’s fists hardened.

This suspect is really a talent!

I guess they knew that the animals they raised were very dangerous, so they didn't dare to contact the Raptor Conservation Center after causing trouble, and secretly brought the trouble to nature.

"These three rescuers are part of this joint operation and are responsible for this search area with you."

Kuang Ming pointed at the people on the three motorcycles and introduced them to Xu Ying: "They are from the 012, 013, and 014 rescue stations respectively."

"I hope you can get along harmoniously this time and no more problems will arise."

His last words were directed at Xu Ying.

Liu Wenxuan, the director of the 012 rescue station, said he was going to report the person involved in Xu Ying's case.

When she heard Kuang Ming's words, she raised her eyebrows proudly.

Ning Zexi's temper flared up again, and he glared, "Director Kuang, what do you mean? You should say this to these three people."

"Our Station Master Xu is both dedicated and kind, making him particularly vulnerable to bullying."

"Some people always look at us with tinted glasses. They see that our Xiao Xu is a newcomer who has only been working for three months, so their words are biased."

Kuang Ming choked when he heard Ning Zexi's words. This brat actually dared to imply him. But thinking of this boy's background, he didn't bother with Ning Zexi anymore.

He frowned and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense here and focus on completing the task as soon as possible."

After saying this, Kuang Ming sat back in the passenger seat of Ning Zexi's SUV.

"So you're going to use your SUV for the mission?"

Xu Ying glanced at Ning Zexi's car: "Isn't this your private car?"

Driving an off-road vehicle in a desert area not only results in high fuel consumption, but also severe tire wear.

Ning Zexi nodded: "Director Kuang said that this mission is important and he needs to be in charge of supervision." Xu Ying frowned: "Did Director Kuang say that you will be reimbursed?"

"Not yet. There's nothing I can do. The most important thing is to complete the mission. Having a car would be more convenient."

Ning Zexi patted Xu Ying's shoulder and said, "Let's unload the car and set off."

"I bought everything you wanted!"

Xu Ying felt excited about opening the package, "Let's go, let's go!"

The two men took down bags of various sizes from the trunk of the SUV and carried them to the rescue station.

Ning Zexi brought out the plastic fruit baskets and small flower pots used for growing vegetables, and also took out bags of seeds.

"This is a carrot seed."

“These are lettuce seeds.”

"Why did you choose these two kinds of seeds?"

Carrots are cold-resistant and can withstand short periods of low temperatures of -2 to -3 degrees Celsius. They can also withstand high temperatures of around 25 degrees Celsius during the seedling stage.

The advantages of growing vegetables in desert areas are sufficient sunshine, strong photosynthesis, rapid expansion of fleshy roots and high yields.

The growth cycle of lettuce is short. After sowing, you can harvest a head of lettuce about one month later.

Xu Ying particularly likes to eat lettuce, and there are many ways to eat it, such as eating it raw, blanching it, mixing it with salads, and stir-frying it. The leaves are tender green, and it is convenient and delicious!
While unloading the goods, she told Ning Zexi her analysis.

Ning Zexi saw that Xu Ying's analysis was so reasonable and began to look forward to it: "Master Xu, when you have a big harvest, can I come and have a meal with you?"

"Of course, you helped me a lot."

As the two were putting their things away, Liu Wenxuan from Station 012 followed them into the rescue station with two rescuers, a man and a woman.

One of the tall, thin men heard the conversation and couldn't help but sneer: "You still want to grow vegetables at the shelter?"

"As expected of a recent college graduate, you think it's too easy."

Another girl in a baseball cap also thought it was ridiculous: "The temperature in the desert fluctuates greatly. It can freeze you to death or burn you to death. How can you survive by growing vegetables? Besides, it's all sand here. Where can you dig soil?"

"If we could grow vegetables, wouldn't it be great if everyone could grow them at the aid station and eat fresh vegetables every day? Why would we need to go get supplies every two weeks?"

Liu Wenxuan and the other two expressed pessimism.

Xu Ying asked the three people, "Have you ever grown anything before? What vegetables did you grow? How many days did you grow them? What was the final result?"

Even if there is no nutrient soil, Xu Ying believes that if various factors are controlled well, crops can be grown if desired.

After all, the Chinese scientific research team members at the Antarctic research station grew their own vegetables because they were craving fresh vegetables, and they even grew vegetables in Antarctica.

She also has the advantages of light and temperature in the desert.

The three were stunned by Xu Ying's question, as they had never tried it before.

First, they think it is troublesome, and second, they think the environment is harsh. If they use their brains to think about it, they will know that they cannot grow anything, so they will not do this thankless task.

Liu Wenxuan came back to his senses and said disdainfully, "Don't we get fresh vegetables every two weeks when we go to collect supplies?"

"We only eat for two or three days at a time. If we continue to eat, it will be time for the next supply."

She couldn't help but taunt Xu Ying: "Urban college students are spoiled and can't handle hardship. They want fresh vegetables for every meal. Their demands are quite high."

Ning Zexi made a face at her and said, "When our little Xu is grown, don't be jealous and come here to eat for free!"

"You're overthinking it. Who cares?"

Liu Wenxuan snorted. She held her phone and looked around the rescue station. "Where's the fennec fox?"
