You Plan to Kill me with Meng?

POLAR BEAR ARC CHAPTER 4

After meals is when the animals are most relaxed and comfortable, so it's not surprising that the staff chose this time to act.

Otis was hit with a tranquilizer dart while resting with his eyes closed, but the drug hadn't yet taken effect. He lay on the ground, looking at Qiao Qixi with reddened eyes.

Perhaps he wanted to do something, but his body gradually lost strength, and he could only manage to keep his eyes half-open.

Qiao Qixi nudged Otis's face with his muzzle, making low sounds reminiscent of his cub days. He had no other intention but to express his farewell feelings.

Otis, who had always been indifferent to Qiao Qixi, seemed to realize something at this moment. Maybe, in any case, he uncharacteristically tried to raise his neck to touch Qiao Qixi.

But he couldn't succeed.

When the staff came in to take Otis away, they found Alexander curled up next to him, making it hard for them to bear.

Perhaps the companionship during this time had forged a deep friendship between these two polar bears.

Separating them seemed rather cruel.

However, the rescue center had its considerations. They wouldn't place the two polar bears too far apart, so if they wanted to find each other, it wouldn't be too difficult.

Qiao Qixi followed the cage carrying Otis all the way to the door, saying goodbye in his heart.

But he knew that the entire Arctic was vast, and the chances of meeting again were very slim.

Releasing polar bears is a massive undertaking.

The rescue center wanted to track the life of the rescued polar bear after its release, so the staff implanted a GPS tracker in the bear beforehand and then airlifted it to a sufficiently distant place, a process that could take two or three hours.

Otis was conscious during the transport, as the effects of the anesthesia were short-lived, to prevent any risk to his life.

The unfamiliar environment surely made him uneasy, possibly even causing him to become agitated.

So the cage had to be sturdy enough to withstand the struggles of an 800-kilogram polar bear.

Fortunately, Otis was calm on the way, not adding to the workload of the staff.

The rescue center chose a small, ice-covered island in the Arctic Ocean as the release area for Otis. Although the island had a name, the surrounding archipelago had too many to remember.

In short, there weren't many polar bears in the area, so if they didn't wander too far, they wouldn't likely encounter each other.

For closer releases, a sturdy net is used to secure the tranquilized polar bear, then a helicopter lifts it directly.

But this time, the release was far enough that Otis remained in the cabin until they reached the release site over 800 kilometers away.

The helicopter landed on a flat coast, and the staff began their work, giving Otis another shot.

"This big guy is really heavy; without the helicopter, we couldn't move him."

The cage with wheels was pushed to the ground, opened from the top, and the people tied the sturdy net to the helicopter, then lifted the polar bear out of the cage and onto the ground.

"Hurry and open the net; it might wake up soon!"

The staff ran around on the shore, busy.

Before Otis regained his aggression, they had to leave.
