[Director's Rule 1: Accept any employee, no matter what color they wear. Although the zoo only provides blue work clothes, if someone shows up wearing the same style of black/red work clothes, please treat them as an employee. ]

Just as the boy was reading the document, he heard strange laughter again in his ears.

[Second, it is normal to hear children crying or laughing outside the office door when no one is around. Ignore them, pretend you didn’t hear them, and avoid showing any signs of anxiety or irritation.]

juvenile:"……"

As the boy read, he soon learned more information.

At this moment, the lights in the principal's office suddenly went out - after noticing this, the principal immediately looked at the boy next to him.

[Rule 1 of the Director's Guidelines: The office must keep the lights on between 15:6 and 00: in the morning, even if no one is there.]

[The power supply equipment here is stronger than any other park. Power outages are not normal. If they occur, immediately tear off the spare map on the right side of the desk at the dotted line, then hold it in your hand and walk out.]

Since there were several dotted line maps prepared in the principal's office, the principal naturally gave the boy one as well.

Just as the boy took it, he noticed.

My hands are not structured to pick up things.

This is very abnormal for humans.

However, the boy still took the dotted line.

This is very abnormal for animals.

"Help me deal with the power outage problem." said the headmaster.

[Tell this to the first employee you meet. No matter what color clothes he wears or what he is about to do, ask him to help you fix the power outage. He will not refuse you.]

juvenile:"……"

The boy nodded without any hesitation to the director's request.

Because of the power outage in the director's office, the two could only use candles as a substitute for lighting.

The faint firelight seemed to ignite people's inner hope, allowing them to move forward safely even in the dark night.

It was at this moment that the boy noticed the shadow reflected on the wall next to him.

The director's slightly thin figure reflected on the wall looked unexpectedly tall and reliable.

Behind him, there was a creature with horns.

It seems... a goat?

However, it is impossible for goats to walk on two legs.

"Sure enough, it's a human."

At this time, the boy heard the murmur coming from the headmaster's mouth.

juvenile:"……"

Yuuka: "According to the information in the Dean's Rules, power outages are not normal... So if the teacher leaves with the principal now, will it be--"

Noah: "Don't worry, Yuuka, the teacher will be fine."

Noah: "Remember what was written on the note in the security booth?"

"Unity, courage, and unwavering loyalty are the greatest virtues of mankind."

As Noah spoke, Yuka thought of the security guard who sacrificed himself to save others.

I thought of the red-clad employees who bravely faced the darkness in order to protect.

I thought of the director who was alone and shouldering the burden of attracting "it".

I remembered those blue-clad employees who worked silently in the zoo and guided the tourists...

--------------

The song in this chapter is "Eudemon" sung by singer Kayser Meow. It is a very ethereal and emotional song. Everyone is welcome to listen to it.

By the way, I came across this song because of a handwritten version of Zoo on Bilibili. The BV number is "BV1N24y1Z77N". If you are interested, you can check it out. I personally feel it is really touching!

Chapter 199: Unity, courage, and unwavering loyalty!

It's amazing!

It's such a weird and dangerous place.

However, as soon as I thought of those people, the uneasiness in my heart disappeared completely.

Yuka thought so and folded her hands in front of her chest.

She looked at the two people working hard on the screen and began to pray for their safety.

must……

Live well.

"How's it going? Is it done?"

"..."

After hearing the director's question, Xiyu paused but did not stop the work in his hands.

"The damage to the electrical box is quite serious. It will probably take more time."

"That's it..."

After the director muttered something, he took out the intercom and said to the employees on the other side: "Carly, Daniel, make sure to keep the lights on your side. Don't let them go out."

【understood. 】

A cold voice came from the intercom, and its clean and neat feeling reminded Xiyu of the red-clothed employee who worked in the aquarium.

----

Himari: "Are they employees of the aquarium?"

Liyin: "It seems that the aquarium is a backup plan to attract 'it'..."

Hinata: "But this situation can't last too long."

Kayoko: "Because the aquarium is also a place that provides tourists with safe shelter at night."

Nagisa: "Trust the teacher... If it's the teacher, it will definitely work..."

----

Just when the girls were feeling a little nervous about the current situation, after Xiyu's efforts, the repair of the electrical box in the principal's office also made good progress.

But at this critical moment, the strange laughter of children was heard again nearby.

Along with the laughter, there were also bursts of noisy sounds.

It sounds like the sound made by some animals acting in groups.

After Xiyu noticed all this, he decisively took out the dagger hidden in his clothes.

"Mr. Director, please come and repair the electrical box."

“There’s nothing particularly cumbersome left now.”

"I'll buy you some time."

Just as Xiyu was about to set out to fight those things, the headmaster stopped him.

"I'll go."

"In contrast, you should quickly finish repairing the electrical box."

Xiyu: “?!”

"But……"

[Director's Guidelines Article 15: Always remember that human life is more important than animal life. Sacrifice any animal if necessary. Don't be soft-hearted, you don't know if they are animals or not.]

Perhaps seeing what the boy was thinking at the moment, the head teacher pursed his cracked lips and gave him a faint smile.

"Yes, human life and safety are more important than animals."

"That's why I will protect you."

Xiyu: “——!”

After saying these words, the headmaster turned around and plunged into the darkness behind him without hesitation.

Just after the director's figure completely disappeared into the darkness, the ground shook immediately afterwards, making Xiyu suddenly remember something.

At that time, when the security guard left, there seemed to be such a shock.

It seems that only some large animal could cause all this...

"..."

"Director's Guidelines Article 15: Always remember that human life is more important than animal life. Sacrifice any animal when necessary. Don't be soft-hearted, you don't know if they are animals or not."

After Xiyu repeated this sentence, she continued to repair the electrical box.

As he had said before, there wasn't much time left to repair the electrical box.

About a minute later, the lights representing hope were lit up again in the director's office.

The moment the lights came on, the noisy sounds disappeared completely.

Only the childlike voice still echoed in my ears.

But the difference is that this time, the sound Xiyu heard was not laughter, but crying.

"..."

There is no one outside who needs protection, so there is no need for me to go out anymore.

Ignore the sounds of crying and laughing in your ears.

Xiyu packed up the maintenance tools and walked towards the principal's office.

Qing: “Is it over…?”
