Chapter 1404: Sightseeing in the Zoo (3)

Bai Qingqing jogged to the shop and bought five ice cream cones, four bottles of iced mineral water, and one bottle of mineral water at room temperature. She then distributed them to her spouses.
Parker started eating under the sun. Looks like he liked it very much.
Curtis had long tried it before. When he took it from her, he ripped open the packaging and started eating. As snakes were poikilotherms1, Curtis feared the heat on a summer day, but still, he enjoyed eating cold foods very much.
Winston and Muir looked for a while and realized that the ice cream melted very quickly. As it was in their nature not to waste, they also started eating it.
It wasn’t weird to see a man eating ice cream, and Muir looked arguably normal eating it too. But why did it seem kind of off seeing Winston eat ice cream?
Bai Qingqing glanced at him after eating every mouthful. Even she felt that something wasn’t quite right.
“How is it? Delicious?” Bai Qingqing asked.
Winston licked his lips and answered with a ring of white cream around his lips, “Delicious.”
D*mn, looks even more off now.
Although Bai Qingqing had the intention of introducing the various things of the modern age to her spouses, seeing each of them eating with relish, she suddenly felt as though she was struck by lightning.
So it turned out all beastmen liked sweet stuff?
Maybe she should buy a cake on their way back.
After finishing an ice cream cone, Bai Qingqing dug out potato chips and other snacks from Curtis’s backpack. Only after they finished eating their fills did they reach the front of the queue.
After buying the tickets, they finally got onto the tourist vehicle provided by the zoo.
“Dear guests, the tourist vehicle is about to set off. Everyone is kindly reminded to abide by the rules of the tour. Do not stick your fingers out of the barbed wire. Do not entice the animals with food. Do not shout or scream in case you agitate the animals…”
Amid the tour guide’s reminder of the regulations, the tourist vehicle set off.
Bai Qingqing kept away the snacks, pressed her face against the barbed wire, and looked outwards.
Curtis stuck his hand between her forehead and the barbed wire and pulled her head back.
Bai Qingqing stuck out her tongue at him. “I’m not scared with you guys around.”
Curtis smiled but said nothing. He held her in his arms, leaned against the chair, and watched the plants by the side.
He could feel animals hiding nearby, watching the humans with malicious gazes.
Ordinary humans wouldn’t be like this—they killed only for food. However, there was hatred in these gazes.
It shouldn’t be surprising, though. If it was him who was locked up here, he would definitely find a chance to seek revenge on the humans. Like the way Snow had pressed her face against the barbed wire just now—that would be an opportunity to strike.
The tourist vehicle moved for five minutes, but there wasn’t a single wild animal in sight. Starting to feel disappointed, Bai Qingqing asked, “Are the animals hiding? Why didn’t we see any?”
Seated in the row in front, Parker replied, “There are a few leopards over there. I’ll get them to come out for you to take a look.”
“Hey, don’t!” Before Bai Qingqing finished her words, he howled outwards.
Howl~
Hearing the leopard howl, Bai Qingqing wanted to cover her ears and deceive herself1.
Although Parker had lowered his voice and sounded a bit like a human mimicking the sounds of a leopard, how could it be so similar to a real leopard’s howl? She could almost understand the threat in his voice.
The tour guide in front immediately said sternly through the mike, “Please do not shout. This might agitate the animals and lead them to attack the barbed wire.”
Bai Qingqing gave the tour guide an apologetic look. “Don’t do this again.”
Parker nodded and said, “In any case, they’re out already.”
“What?” Bai Qingqing turned her head in delight. Indeed, she saw a leopard walking out from behind the plants.
Gasps could be heard in the tourist vehicle instantly. Everyone on this side edged closer to the window to look at the leopard, while the passengers on the other side stood up and stuck out their heads to look.
