This private zoo either had inexperienced keepers or they didn't know much about honey badgers. The iron gate that held Wang Ping and another honey badger didn't even have a proper lock, it was just a bolt. This kind of protection couldn't even keep a cat in.
Even Wang Ping, with his limited knowledge of wild animals, knew that the honey badger was one of the few wild animals that could make their own tools.
You know, the flat-headed brother is not a primate. When Wang Ping first learned that this creature could make tools by itself, he was simply amazed.
The other one seemed to have no intention of leaving for the time being, and it ate in a ferocious manner.
Yes, there are no lions here that will attack you, and there are no natural enemies, not to mention that there are people serving you with good food and drink. I just don't know how the other party was caught and how long he has been here. Otherwise, with the ability of wild honey badgers, a mere unlocked iron gate really can't keep them in.
Wang Ping moved his body carefully and walked towards the iron gate, trying to stay away from the honey badger to avoid misunderstanding. You know, when the honey badger is eating, it doesn't recognize any relatives. Even if your own son comes close to you, you will beat him like a stepmother.
The iron gate was locked from the outside with bolts, and the door frames on both sides were set into the concrete wall.
Wang Ping stood upright inside the door, prying at the gap in the iron bars, and slowly pulled out the bolt with one claw.
And then, nothing happened.
It turned out that the keeper had not left, but was taking a nap in the shade outside the door. When he heard the door open, he turned around and met Wang Ping's eyes.
Black people all have big eyes, with distinct black and white eyeballs, which are particularly obvious in the shadows behind the wall. The other party was obviously a little stunned, just like Wang Ping. Although I couldn't see his expression clearly, I could clearly feel that he was stunned.
The atmosphere was tense.
Wang Ping was thinking whether to quickly remove the bolt and rush out, or to return to where he was. Obviously, it would be difficult to rush out of the zoo if he was discovered. But if he gave up, the other party might lock the door, and the difficulty of getting out would increase greatly.
When he was in the team, Wang Ping was not a hesitant person. But now he was in a dilemma.
The most important thing is probably that Wang Ping doesn't want to hurt anyone.
Wang Ping was hesitating, but the other party did not. After just a few seconds of hesitation, the breeder quickly reacted, picked up a trap beside him, and quickly thrust it towards Wang Ping.
The trap hit the iron gate with a bang, and Wang Ping was awakened from his thoughts. Before he could react, the second hit came and hit Wang Ping's outstretched front paw.
“Ahhh~!”
Wang Ping cried out in pain subconsciously. The keeper, the honey badger that was still chewing snake meat, and Wang Ping himself were all startled by the cry.
Is this the cry of a flat-headed brother
Wang Ping expressed doubt.
The call of a honey badger is somewhat similar to that of a venomous snake, always making a hissing sound, and occasionally making a sharp cry, but it is definitely not the weird roar that Wang Ping just made.
The roar sounded exactly like a husky whose tail had just been stepped on.
Now, not only has he turned into an animal, but even his calls are not authentic, too weird! If Wang Ping wasn't afraid of blinding himself with his claws, he really wanted to cover his face.
It's so embarrassing, no, it's so shameful!
“￥%#￥#%…” The black breeder mumbled something and no one knew what he was saying.
However, this language sounded familiar to Wang Ping. It was very similar to the language spoken in the small town called Mtowamu where he and his teammates settled before entering the grassland. It was probably some kind of East African dialect.
Wang Ping felt relieved after discovering this. At least he was still in Africa and maybe he could find traces of his teammates.
However, the "jailbreak" plan has to be changed temporarily.
The breeder drove Wang Ping away from the door, then locked the door and looked outside the wall from time to time.
Wang Ping was like a bullied young wife, squatting silently in the corner. The viper had been eaten by the honey badger, not even a bone was left. The badger ignored Wang Ping, slowly found a cool place, and began to take a nap.
As the sun slowly set in the northwest and the sky began to darken, Wang Ping's ears moved slightly and he heard footsteps.
Although the honey badger's head looks bald and its ears are not visible, Wang Ping has a feeling that it is magical. The soul is obviously human, but it seems to be born to adapt to such a body.
"#%￥#..." It was the black guy again. But this time he lowered his voice and waved at Wang Ping continuously.
"?" What the hell? Are you letting me go
Wang Ping didn't dare to believe that the other party was so kind. Facts also proved that Wang Ping thought too much. Seeing that Wang Ping didn't respond, the black guy stopped moving and just handed something through the gap in the iron gate, then turned and left.
The fresh fragrance coming into his nose made Wang Ping couldn't help but sniff twice.
When I looked closer, I saw that it was a small piece of honey.
Good stuff!
Wang Ping quickly scooped up the honey. After being hungry for a whole day, there was finally something Wang Ping wanted to eat. He had to fill his stomach first.
Just at this moment, Wang Ping heard a voice behind him.
A black shadow hit Wang Ping's face as he turned away at lightning speed.
"!"
Wang Ping was hit so hard that he rolled twice on the ground, and the honey fell out. His head was buzzing, and he was stunned. No, the whole badger was stunned.
What's going on
After shaking his head twice, Wang Ping climbed up with his front paws, and then he saw that the honey badger, which had originally fallen asleep, was grabbing its honey and looking at Wang Ping hungrily.
Wang Ping: “…”
No matter how much you think, you would never have thought that honey is a forbidden food for honey badgers. If a honey badger sees a beehive in the wild, it is like a human seeing a box of US dollars. It cannot move. This is why the scientific name of the flat-headed brother is honey badger.
Wang Ping didn't want to fight.
But if you don't fight, you'll forget about getting the honey back.
"Little guy, I'm a third-degree black belt in Taekwondo, and I also know military boxing and Sanda. Are you looking for trouble?"
Wang Ping let out a "Woo-ah" and startled the other party, then he pounced on him and slapped the honey in his hand with his claws.
Then...Wang Ping was severely beaten by the other party.
For a whole hour, Wang Ping was thinking in a corner, why he couldn't beat the other party? Later, Wang Ping figured it out, because he was fighting for food, while the other party was fighting for faith.
That’s right, honey is the honey badger’s belief.
When the other party bit Wang Ping's neck, Wang Ping was stunned. Then in the process of tearing, Wang Ping had countless opportunities to bite the other party, but he couldn't do it. He could only use his claws to slap the other party's body.
After all, we are human beings. It is too shameless to use verbal attacks during a fight!
Naturally, Wang Ping lost the battle.
Fortunately, I lost to my own kind, not to another animal. It's not shameful! No, I didn't lose to the badger. Wang Ping secretly comforted himself.
Wang Ping didn't know what time it was at night, but judging from the position of the moon, it should be the second half of the night. His stomach growled with hunger, and Wang Ping couldn't sleep, so he lay on the concrete floor in a daze.
There was a rustling sound coming from the other side, followed by the sound of stones rolling.
Wang Ping tilted his head and looked in the moonlight, only to see the other honey badger pushing a stone on the ground towards the corner.
"What is this?" Wang Ping had a question mark on his forehead.
As a human being, Wang Ping obviously couldn't keep up with the thinking of his "roommate" most of the time.
The stone rolled to the corner of the wall, and the honey badger climbed up and reached the cement wall with its front paws. It was still a few dozen centimeters away. The honey badger climbed down and ran to other stones scattered around.
"Are you trying to escape?" Wang Ping finally reacted. This buddy who was locked up with him was also a talented person!
The honey badger was halfway through its run when it suddenly seemed to remember something and ran straight towards Wang Ping.
“Bang!”
Wang Ping was slapped again by the other party.
"Hiss..."
Wang Ping, who was beaten for no apparent reason, finally realized what was happening when he saw the other party pointing at the stone and screaming. He was being asked to help carry the stone.
"Alas, the badger is under the eaves and has to bow his head!"
Wang Ping stood up helplessly and ran towards a rock.
Wang Ping had a strange feeling. The buddy who shared the same "cell" with him had been acting very calm since the day. He ate when he was supposed to, and slept when he was supposed to. When he woke up, he started to prepare a way to escape. How could this be an innocent little animal locked up? This guy was clearly an old driver who was used to this kind of situation, right
