Super Zoo

Suming had a sweet mouth for a reason; he told Nangong Yan about his plan with a smile. After listening, Nangong Yan became so angry she almost burst into laughter.

"You're simply not human!"

"I'm clever, aren't I?" Suming said with a naughty lift of his eyebrows.

"Well, it is quite clever. Watch me!" Nangong Yan laughed heartily, took a quick glance at her eyebrows in a small mirror, then with a snap, she closed the mirror and stuffed it into her bag. Striding confidently in her high heels, she swayed her way toward the grove. Suming looked around like a thief, then turned and ran to an inconspicuous corner to wait.

...

"Oh, hello, hello, how can I help you?" Peng Lin, the president of the Medical College Student Union, looked at the girl in front of him, and his eyes lit up. Her figure and demeanor were clearly a cut above the average college girl.

"It's like this..." Nangong Yan said in a coquettish voice, "I graduated this year, and I came back to find my advisor in the lab building to get some documents, but when I got to the door, I remembered I needed a campus card to get in…" While she spoke, Nangong Yan batted her eyelashes in a helpless manner. "Could you help me out, classmate…"

"No problem!" Before Nangong Yan could finish speaking, Peng Lin patted his chest with a thud and stamped out his cigarette butt. "Come on, I'll take you inside!"

"You're such a nice person, brother!" Nangong Yan said, her smile bright and beautiful as she followed Peng Lin toward the lab building.

Peng Lin was also in high spirits, asking her along the way what department she was from, mentioning he was the Student Union president, and suggesting that since they've met by fate, she should give him her phone number so he could take her out for meals and movies in the future…

As they reached the main entrance, Peng Lin had just taken out his card and swiped open the door when suddenly, from a corner nearby, a man rushed out like lightning.

"Thank you brother, this is my boyfriend. We came together today. Goodbye!" Nangong Yan gave Peng Lin a gentle smile and then, arm in arm with Suming, the two of them walked grandly into the lab building, leaving President Peng Lin stunned at the entrance.

Watching their retreating figures, it took a while for Peng Lin to squeeze out a sentence, grumpily saying, "Damn, the good vegetables always get hogged by the pigs!"

...

"Hey, why are you becoming worse and worse now? I didn't see this bad side of you before," Nangong Yan said, giggling so much that her whole body shook as they walked upstairs.

"How can you say that? I see you're enjoying this quite a bit too, right?" Suming imitated Nangong Yan, extending a finger like a delicate orchid, and tapped it on Nangong Yan's head, asking in a coquettish voice, "Isn't that right, brother?"

"Get lost, that's disgusting!"

The lab building wasn't crowded. They occasionally passed a few students and teachers who didn't pay much attention to Suming and her. The students probably thought Suming and her were young teachers, while the teachers thought they were students. In any case, they proceeded smoothly.

Suming had also graduated from a biology program and was quite familiar with the lab building. In most labs, they worked with chemical experiments, not as much with live subjects as one might imagine, because live subjects are expensive and not that many are available for student use. There were also a few labs with human specimens, usually in more remote laboratories, but even those were dry and not scary in broad daylight.

Er Gouzi had already scouted out that the dogs had been temporarily left on the rooftop. Suming and Nangong Yan climbed the stairs to the top level.

This level had no laboratories, just a door leading to the rooftop, and was quite deserted, with hardly anyone around.

They had just arrived at the top and weren't even through the door yet when a teacher-like figure turned the corner and gave them a somewhat strange look, readying to ask them something.

Suming thought quickly, pretended not to see the teacher at all, and without hesitation grabbed Nangong Yan, pinned her against the wall, and gave her a fierce kiss.

Nangong Yan was stunned, eyes wide open.

The teacher looked at them a few times with a curious expression but shook his head and walked past them, apparently mistaking them for two students sneaking around to be intimate with each other.

"Damn, that scared me," Suming let go of Nangong Yan and sighed with relief only after the teacher had gone.

It took a while for Nangong Yan to gather her wits, and then she looked at Suming with anger flaring in her eyes, "You... took advantage of me!"

"Sister, it's just acting, okay?" Suming asked, defiantly.

"Bullshit! Does acting require sticking your tongue out?" Nangong Yan wiped off the saliva left on her mouth, asking fiercely.

"I was aiming for authenticity! Doesn't a bit part need dedication? Doesn't it need acting skill?" Suming continued to defend himself and then, before Nangong Yan could blow up, quickly turned and headed towards the small door leading to the rooftop, "Stop nagging, if it's a big deal, I'll let you kiss me back later!"

Nangong Yan retorted bravely, "You said it, kid. If you dare go back on your word later, you're dead meat!"

"Ah... wow, the weather is really nice!" Suming laughed awkwardly, clumsily moving past the issue, and pushed the door open to step out onto the rooftop.

The weather was indeed good, the moon brightly speckled with stars, a big full moon hanging high in the sky, without a hint of smog in sight. These days, with the provincial meetings happening, the weather was exceptionally nice; every day was clear, the smog vanished, pollution gone. It was baffling how the weather turned so pleasant whenever there were significant meetings. It showed that our party, our country, was in harmony with the heavens, a child of destiny...

"Cut the crap! Lucky for me this camera works at night too; otherwise, it really wouldn't capture anything clearly!" Nangong Yan took out her camera, tested it, and found it to be quite satisfactory—the advanced device could film clearly even in the dark.

Following Er Gouzi's lead, Suming and the others found a group of dogs caged behind the large water tank on the roof!

Unexpectedly, in addition to these newly arrived dogs, there were another seven or eight dogs tied next to the pipes behind the water tank!

"What is going on here!" Seeing these dogs, Nangong Yan's eyes widened in shock, and Suming also felt a tingling sensation on his scalp!

The seven or eight dogs before them were almost all injured, hastily wrapped with dirty gauze through which blood seeped, some with stomachs torn open, others with disturbing wounds, and one even had both its front legs gone, oozing foul-smelling pus from the wounds...

The worst part was, these dogs were all alive! Lying on the ground, they emitted faint whimpers, their eyes devoid of any helpless expression, only emptiness...

Suming checked them with his spiritual power and found these dogs to be nearly devoid of consciousness, essentially either dazed or just a breath away from death!

"Damn, how could this happen!" Even Suming got a bit angry. In their past experiments, they at least made it quick for the animals, putting them down after the experiment. It was outrageous to leave these injured animals behind after experimentation, letting them wait for death amid extreme pain!

This was far beyond the bottom line of scientific research!
