Chapter 103: Panda On Strike Ii (1/2)
Five days later, Adelaide Zoo.
Four employees placed the special container on the ground before opening up the door.
Chalk crawled out of the box and surveyed his surroundings confoundedly.
His originally vast and natural park had become a 60 square feet room.
On the other side of the full gla.s.s panel were crowds of people, but Chalk paid no attention to them.
His attention had been lured by a bunch of stacked bamboos in front of him. Starving, he pounced on them and started munching.
The tourists all over the world started snapping photos with their phones.
Looking at all those people of different skin color, Chalk muttered in fear, ”F*ck, wait. Do they really think I'm Fatty? So I am now really in Ustaria something? But I didn't learn anything that Fatty did! What do I do? Will there be a problem...”
Someone from the many people taking photographs of him forgot to turn off the flash on their device.
Chalk jumped in shock. He looked up and made eye contact with the crowd.
Seeing Chalk's weird expression, the other humans pointed toward the forgetful man.
The adult panda's words echoed in Chalk's mind: act like a panda.
Chalk lowered his head and continued eating his shoots as if nothing had happened.
The tourists, too, went back to snapping photos.
When Chalk was full from his meal, he gathered the remaining bamboos and laid on top of it to take a nap.
Some time later, he opened his eyes. The tourists were gone and there was only a man in blue sweeping the floor.
”He's a staff and he will close up soon. You really can sleep, can't you? Just like the previous panda,” a strange voice said.
Chalk looked toward the source of the voice and spotted a palm-sized frog on the ground.
”Who are you?” Chalk asked, puzzled.
”I'm your messenger. Name's 63. That's my serial number. I'm a rain frog, in charge of sending messages throughout the zoo. We'll be partners from now on,” 63 told him.
”Wait. Why 63?” Chalk questioned.
”You have much to learn. What did they teach you over there? There are 120 animal rooms in Adelaide Zoo, and your unit is 63. The one beside yours, 62, is for the j.a.panese leopard cats. Remember this to help with the communication,” 63 advised.
”What do I do now then?”
”Wow. You really have a lot to learn. We meet our king, of course. He'll come over when this staff leaves.”
”So we just wait?”
The staff put his broom away and brought a pail out before shutting the door behind him.
”Alright, any minute now.” 63 smiled.
The metal door within the room shook a little noisily.
Shortly after, a crisp sound was heard and the door slowly opened up.
An anteater had used its tongue as a key to unlock the door and the kangaroo that raised it let it down after.
A koala crawled in, followed by three kangaroos, while the anteater stood guard.
