Chapter 121: Chapter 121: We’re Here to Say Goodbye

Xu Ying hurriedly went to open the door, and outside stood Ling Yu and Coach Zhuang, holding large bags of milk, nuts, vegetables, and meat, coming to deliver gifts.

Ling Yu was wearing a loose white hoodie and gray sports pants, looking sunny and handsome.

Seeing Xu Ying, he greeted her with a bright smile, “Little Xu Station Chief, we’re here to say goodbye.”

Coach Zhuang’s tone was sad and reluctant, “Ling Yu still has to return to the Capital, to train on the track at the national team’s training base for a week, and at the end of the month, he will fly to Luocheng.”

He brought in the food and drinks he had bought for Xu Ying into the rescue station, “This time, after returning to the national team training base, I’ll submit the plan, and I suppose there will be many more times I’ll have to trouble you in the future.”

“No need to be polite with me!”

Xu Ying replied heartily, “I also hope to see more athletes discovering their potential in the desert and dazzling the world!”

Coach Zhuang looked at Xu Ying with a gratifying gaze, as if looking at his granddaughter.

Ling Yu dug out a laminated photo from his sports bag, “Little Xu Station Chief, here is the group photo we took earlier. When Coach and I went to the county to shop, we found a digital shop to print it out.”

He handed the photo to Xu Ying, “A little keepsake for you.”

The day after Coach Zhuang arrived here, he pulled the animal trainers and the fluffy ones from Xu Ying’s rescue station together for a big group photo after Ling Yu’s training ended.

In the group photo, Xu Ying is holding fox cubs, the cheetah trainers are surrounding Ling Yu, and just as they were about to press the shutter, the vulture suddenly opened its big mouth, startling Ling Yu into widening his eyes.

Coach Zhuang was almost pushed out of the frame by the group of animals.

With so many elements in the shot, Xu Ying couldn’t help but burst into a laugh.

Coach Zhuang’s presence here was indeed quite weak, after all, there are so many masters here.

Xu Ying carefully put away this precious and interesting group photo, and patted Ling Yu on the shoulder, “Wish you success in the competition! Achieve great results!”

Ling Yu sighed lightly upon learning that the fox cubs were still at the main station, “It’s a pity the five fox trainers aren’t here.”

“The fox trainers are shining bright in their positions right now. If you miss them, come visit anytime!”

Xu Ying thought that after the animal trainer training base was established in the future, Ling Yu would probably come often.

Ling Yu chuckled and asked, “Would you like to come to the site to watch my competition?”

“This time, I’m afraid it’s not possible,” Xu Ying shook her head with regret, “But I believe there will be many opportunities in the future!”

Ling Yu showed regret in his eyes but still expressed understanding, “Alright then, this time I’ll embark on the journey with our group photo.”

After being treated for a period, Coach Cheetah’s oral ulcers have completely healed, and he now has fresh breath.

Seeing his disciple about to leave, the cheetah led the cheetah group to surround Ling Yu, pouncing him down, and smothering him with their tongues and paws.

Ling Yu’s smooth black hair instantly turned into a bird’s nest.

The cheetahs, being super big cats, were very clingy and reluctant to let Ling Yu go.

[Why do you have to leave so soon!]

[Discipline, will you come back to see us?]

“I will!” Xu Ying smiled as she consoled these big cats, “Now your disciple is going to participate in a world competition, reclaiming everything that belongs to him.”

“You’ll be able to see him on TV!”

Xu Ying painted such a vivid picture, “Afterwards, many champions will compete to become disciples of your Cheetah Family, and your disciple will dominate this planet!”

The cheetahs reluctantly let Ling Yu go, their amber eyes showing a clear and expectant gaze.

After bidding farewell, watching the white campervan slowly drive away from the rescue station, Xu Ying was filled with emotions.

She placed the food brought by Ling Yu and Coach Zhuang into the refrigerator.

After getting to know the fellow villagers who delivered goods from Dongqing Village, it became much easier for Xu Ying to shop online.

The items bought online, along with sponsored products, were sent to the county post station, stored up, and the sponsors shared the shipping cost with Xu Ying, allowing the villagers to pack and deliver them over.

This way, it was more convenient for her, and the villagers earned the shipping fees — a win-win!

The double-door refrigerator in the rescue station was delivered yesterday by the villagers and installed with Coach Zhuang’s help. It was a new product sponsored by Meg, a highly popular household brand. By putting a promotional speech in her work vlog, Xu Ying not only received the product but also earned 100,000 yuan in advertising fees. Truly delightful.

The process of filling up the fridge gave a sense of indescribable accomplishment, and Xu Ying wished in her heart for more sponsorships for washing machines and massage chairs. Freebies are just too enjoyable.

Together with the fridge delivery, there were saplings of Sosso Trees, caragana, and flowering rods.

Although tree planting for desert prevention isn’t a must for animal rescuers, if desired, they may apply for saplings and related tools from the organization.

The organization will provide planting subsidies based on the survival rate.

The rescue missions for animal rescuers are generally released by the headquarters, as it has drones on irregular patrols in each district.

If nothing happens in the area, the rescuer can clock out after completing routine inspections.

Without an emergency mission, apart from the risk of dying in dangerous situations, a workday is quite leisurely, and with the help of Little Desert Rat inspecting the pipelines, it’s even more so for Xu Ying.

She wondered if being overworked for so long had engrained work habits into her DNA because she had applied for saplings and tools from the organization despite the ease of the work.

In the future, a farm and animal park are to be built near the rescue station, and heavy winds and sand also affect the construction progress.

Xu Ying planned to start planting trees around the rescue station to create a windbreak and sand fixation forest. Although she was alone now, she figured she should practice first, gain experience, and pass on the knowledge when she could afford a tree-planting team to improve efficiency.

Realizing her social account had many people urging her for updates, Xu Ying decided to start a live stream to show tree planting in the desert, also giving her audience some related knowledge about windbreak and sand control.

Now, she had three phones, an old-fashioned flip phone from Uncle Qin, a livestream-dedicated phone recommended by Ning Zexi, and a personal phone.

After setting up the phone for livestreaming, Xu Ying began her broadcast.

With over two million followers, many viewers joined as soon as she started streaming.

[Wow, the Station Chief started planting trees so early!]

[I also want to go to the desert control zone to plant trees; can I get an internship certificate?]

[The desert is still too dangerous; make sure you have survival skills in extreme environments first!]

“Planting trees in the desert isn’t as simple as digging a hole and burying it. You have to first set up a one-square-meter grass grid for windbreak and sand fixation, then dig a 40-60 centimeter deep pit.”

Xu Ying explained to the viewers how to make grass grids, “The grass used for grids is wheatgrass and straw, and the length must not be less than 60 cm, buried 15 cm below the sand.”

As Xu Ying was busy setting up grass grids, her phone in her pocket vibrated urgently.

She paused her task and saw that the caller ID was Ning Zexi.

As soon as the call was connected, Xu Ying heard wailing cries for help from the other side, “Boss Xu, hurry, save my dog life!”

“A rescuer from Zone 025 called me, saying they saw a group possibly the photography team you mentioned, driving three off-road vehicles heading towards my Zone 026.”

“Please come save me; I’m scared to handle them alone!”

On the other end of the line, Ning Zexi sounded on the brink of tears. He was just a trainee rescuer, how did he even end up in such a situation?

Those people treated animals so cruelly, their attitude towards humans surely can’t be much better!
