Animals all over the world love me

Chapter 87 Crude Oil Spill Accident

When Zhuang Mu led his medical team to the Gulf of Mexico, what should have been the beautiful scenery of the blue sea and blue sky, but now it was a boundless and dark doomsday scene.

There was a thick layer of black oil film floating on the sea surface, and bursts of pungent stench rushed towards people's faces with the sea breeze.

Several people drove to a large rescue center temporarily built by the sea.

The Gulf of Mexico is close to Florida, so many animal medical institutions along the southeastern coast of the United States have already started rescue work here.

As soon as he got out of the car, Zhuang Mu accidentally choked on the smell of petroleum and coughed several times.

"Are you okay?" Xia Jingshen supported Zhuang Mu and patted him on the back.

"Assistant Xia, water." The team nurse at the side quickly took out a bottle of mineral water from his backpack and handed it to Xia Jingshen.

The other nurses, who moved a little slower, saw that someone had already stepped in first, so they resentfully stuffed the mineral water back into their backpacks.

Although, after getting along for such a long time, everyone already knew the relationship between Zhuang Mu and Xia Jingshen, both openly and secretly.

However, the nurses' love for Zhuang Mu still hasn't diminished in the slightest. On the contrary, they like Zhuang Mu even more as more and more shining points appear on Zhuang Mu.

When the medical team was formed this time, almost all the nurses in the hospital rushed to come.

If it wasn't for the fact that the hospital still needs sufficient manpower to keep it running, the nurses from the entire Douglas Animal Hospital would have followed Zhuang Mu.

Strictly speaking, the dozen or so nurses who came here this time were all lucky ones.

Because they are drawn by the nurses themselves through a lottery, and they can only join the medical team if they draw lucky numbers.

Of course, the doctors who came here this time are also very active.After all, Zhuang Mu leads the team, so it is a good opportunity to learn from Zhuang Mu's side.

Zhuang Mu took the mineral water Xia Jingshen handed over, drank a few sips to moisten his throat, and exhaled deeply.

"Human beings!" Zhuang Mu glanced at the boundless dark sea and shook his head helplessly.

Xia Jingshen patted him on the back lightly, looking at the black sea in front of him, he couldn't help but fell silent.

The doctors and nurses in the medical team are all in a heavy heart.

For the current scene in the Gulf of Mexico, it is difficult for people who have not witnessed it to imagine what an indescribably terrible scene it is.

Time and time again, the destructive power of human beings exceeds imagination.

"Let's go in!" Zhuang Mu said to the group members.

After hearing this, everyone turned their heads back and followed Zhuang Mu to the rescue center.

----

"Can I have a bottle of mineral water? I have a bad throat." A doctor from the medical team asked a nurse who came with him.

The nurse looked at the doctor speechlessly, hesitated for a moment, and reluctantly brought him the mineral water, while muttering in a low voice, "Don't you know how to bring water?"

At this moment, she still feels a little upset that she failed to pass water to Zhuang Mu. She didn't expect this guy to be so thick-skinned and come to her for mineral water.

The man seemed to have been tested for a long time, pretending not to hear what she said, took the mineral water without blushing, and said with a smile: "Thank you!"

The nurse gave him a blank look and didn't bother to talk to him.

At this time, a staff member of the rescue center came to them.

"Professor Zhuang!" The staff member walked over quickly, looked at Zhuang Mu excitedly and said repeatedly, "Hello, hello!"

Although Zhuang Mu has not yet obtained the official title of professor, many people have already called Zhuang Mu as professor in private.

After all, Zhuang Mu's attainments in the field of animal medicine have surpassed most medical professors.

Moreover, the thesis on the correction of Tetralogy of Fallot has received great attention from the global animal medical association, and Zhuang Mu's title of professor is estimated to be well deserved in a short time.

Zhuang Mu had repeatedly reminded others that he was not a professor, but no one changed his mind.After more times, he had no choice but to follow other people's wishes.

Zhuang Mu smiled and greeted the staff member: "Hello."

"Professor Zhuang, my name is Ryan, and I'm here to wait for you." Ryan said.

"Okay, thank you." Zhuang Mu replied.

"Professor Zhuang, please!" Ryan made a gesture of invitation.

Immediately, under the leadership of Ryan, Zhuang Mu and his party walked into the rescue center.

"Professor Zhuang, I heard that you are coming here. You don't know how happy the people in our rescue center are." Ryan told the excitement in his heart while leading the way.

"Last time, I planned to go to Douglas Animal Hospital to see you undergo quadruple syndrome correction surgery. But our dean said that even if I went there at my level, I couldn't understand it. So I can only read it online. After I read it, it was exactly the same as what our dean said, and I couldn't understand it at all. Hahaha." Ryan said with a smile.

His tone and demeanor were very funny, Zhuang Mu couldn't help being amused by him, and the doctors and nurses behind him couldn't help laughing too.

It can be seen that Ryan is a very talkative person who doesn't mind being self-deprecating.Such a person can easily gain the favor of others.

"Hello, Professor Zhuang."

"Good morning, Professor Zhuang."

"Professor Zhuang, you are here!"

……

After the group entered the rescue center, every doctor and nurse they met along the way greeted Zhuang Mu enthusiastically and proactively.

In the past, basically only nurses would take the initiative to greet Zhuang Mu, which was largely because of Zhuang Mu's good looks.

It's different now. Veterinarians all over the world know that the research team led by Zhuang Mu has overcome the super medical problem - Tetralogy of Fallot in just over a month.

Therefore, in the eyes of doctors now, Zhuang Mu is a rare genius doctor in the field of veterinary medicine, and he is an absolute god-level figure.

Therefore, all the doctors are naturally admiring all of them.

When we arrived at the emergency hall of the rescue center, many doctors and nurses were bathing the seabirds.

The Gulf Coast is home to a large number of waterfowl and shorebirds, including large flocks of terns, boobies, pelicans, and several other seabirds.

However, there are basically no marine mammals in this area, and the only important Caribbean manatee, its number is also decreasing due to human activities and drastic changes in the ecological environment.

This time, a large number of crude oil leaks caused many seabirds to be covered with oil. If they are not treated in time, these seabirds will either be poisoned to death due to accidental ingestion of oil, or they will be dehydrated to death by the sun, or they will not be able to forage And starve to death.

"Professor Zhuang, you're here!" An animal doctor who looked to be in his 50s or 60s hurried forward to greet Zhuang Mu and his party.

"Professor Zhuang, I'm Phyllis Pope, the person in charge of the Temporary Animal Medical Rescue Center." The 60-year-old animal doctor said with a smile, "I didn't expect Professor Zhuang to lead the team here."

Although Phyllis Pope is much older than Zhuang Muda, in the medical field, strength is extremely important.Not to mention that Zhuang Mu's current medical skills are far inferior to him, even the professors he has worked with before are incomparable.

Therefore, Phyllis also honored Zhuang Mu as Professor Zhuang.

"Hello, Doctor Pope." Zhuang Mu greeted Phyllis Pope.

"How's the situation now?" Zhuang Mu looked at Pope with concern.

"Now the polluted sea area has reached more than 5000 square kilometers, and there are still oil spills that have not been found. I am afraid that the polluted area will continue to expand in the future." Pope said with a serious face.

"...We are new here and are not familiar with this place. Please arrange a job for us. We can start working now." Zhuang Mu nodded and said.

"Okay, at present, I mainly help the seabirds clean the oil on their bodies, and help some seabirds stomach lavage." Pope said while leading Zhuang Mu to a bathing station in the emergency room.

Similar bathing stations abound in the first aid hall, and there are at least hundreds of people working nervously in the hall at this time.

"Professor Zhuang, you can help clean the seabirds here." Pope pointed at the sink.

"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Zhuang Mu nodded.

Afterwards, marine search and rescue personnel continued to send various seabirds whose feathers were stained with oil.

Zhuang Mu led the members of his medical team to quickly start the cleaning work.

The main task of the rescue center is to clean the oil on seabirds, not only because there are not many marine mammals in the Gulf of Mexico, but also because seabirds are very fragile. Treatment often leads to death soon.

For the special injury of oil pollution, surgery can not play a big role, so what the medical staff can do is to use the fastest time to get more seabirds off the oil pollution.

----

The rescue work was going on in an orderly manner. About an hour later, several people suddenly rushed into the first aid hall and hurried towards Phyllis Pope.

"Doctor Pope, Doctor Pope, something happened, something happened!" A young man with freckles on his face said anxiously.

"Jimmy, what's the matter? What happened?" Phyllis Pope looked at the person and asked suspiciously.

"A large number of manta rays are coming towards the Gulf of Mexico!" the young man named Jimmy said anxiously.

"A large number of manta rays are coming towards the Gulf of Mexico? Why? This is not the habitat of manta rays!" Phyllis Pope was taken aback.

"We don't know why there are manta rays here, but now the Gulf of Mexico is full of oil, if these manta rays break in, the consequences will be disastrous!" Jimmy said eagerly.

"Yeah, we have to find a way to drive these manta rays away." Another guy named Joseph John said.

"Where's the Coast Guard? Have they been notified? They should have something to do," Phyllis Pope asked.

"They knew about it just now, and they sent people there, but their main force has to deal with the crude oil at sea first, and they simply can't spare too many manpower to deal with the manta rays," Jimmy said.

"...Then we have to help quickly." Phyllis Pope pondered for a while, trying to find a way to disperse the manta rays, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a useful method.

Because manta rays are not as easy to drive away as other weaker fish.

The manta ray is huge in size, especially the adult manta ray can reach 7 meters in length.The most important thing is that manta rays are extremely powerful. Although they are not aggressive at ordinary times, they are powerful enough to destroy small boats when they are disturbed.

Moreover, once the manta ray gets angry, its powerful "dual wings" can break human bones at any time and kill people.

"Doctor Pope!" Jimmy couldn't help jumping anxiously when he saw that Pope was rushing to scatter the manta rays while his feet were motionless.

"Don't worry! Am I thinking of a way? It's not like you don't know about the manta ray. It's still a manta ray. If you don't think of a way, it's useless to go!" Pope glanced at Jimmy helplessly.

Then, he rolled his eyes, planning to brainstorm and ask everyone to come up with a solution.

As a result, when his eyes glanced over Zhuang Mu inadvertently, he immediately remembered the crow incident that happened in San Marino, and his eyes lit up immediately.

He immediately ran to Zhuang Mu, and Jimmy and the others followed him with puzzled expressions.

When they saw Zhuang Mu, Jimmy and the others immediately greeted Zhuang Mu.

Zhuang Mu was cleaning the oil off the feathers of a pelican. Seeing someone greet him, he also turned his head and nodded in return.

"Professor Zhuang, something urgent happened and I urgently need your help!" Pope looked at Zhuang Mu seriously.

At this time, Jimmy and the others also thought of the strange thing that happened to Zhuang Mu before, and instantly understood Pope's intention.

Tetralogy correction surgery may have amazed animal doctors all over the world, but the crow incident is the miracle that is truly engraved in everyone's memory.

"What urgent matter happened?" Zhuang Mu was startled.

"That's right, there is a large group of manta rays swimming towards the Gulf of Mexico. If they accidentally enter the polluted area, the consequences will be disastrous." Pope said very seriously.

"Manta rays? Isn't this the main habitat of manta rays?" Zhuang Mu was taken aback.

"Yeah! I don't know how these manta rays came to the Gulf of Mexico?" Pope replied.

"Let's go and have a look right away!" Zhuang Mu said hastily.

Then, he immediately ordered the nurse on the side to take over his work.

Immediately afterwards, they followed Pope and the others out of the rescue center quickly, and Xia Jingshen followed closely behind.

"The sea is full of oil, it's too slow to go by boat! Let's take a seaplane." Jimmy said.

Everyone nodded after listening.

Immediately, a group of people immediately got on the seaplane and went straight to the place where the manta ray appeared.

----

In just a moment, the seaplane carried Zhuang Mu and the others over the sea where manta rays were infested.

On the surface of the sea, countless manta rays have gathered at the junction of the black crude oil and the blue water.

On the surface of the sea not far away, there are still countless manta rays continuously rushing in.

"This is..." Pope looked at the manta ray on the sea and was slightly taken aback.

"They should have followed the warm current from the northern equator," Zhuang Mu said.

"That's never happened before!" said Jimmy.

"Global warming!" Pope sighed helplessly.

Manta rays generally live in tropical regions, and there are also subtropical regions, but the number is relatively small.

This side of the Gulf of Mexico is primarily home to manta rays, which are much smaller than manta rays.

"Professor Zhuang, what should we do next?" Pope asked.

At this time, there were two Coast Guard ships not far from the manta ray activity area on the sea.However, the guards on board just looked at the group of manta rays from a distance, and didn't intend to go forward to drive them away.

Or, to be more precise, they didn't dare to go forward at all.

After receiving a call from maritime search and rescue personnel, they rushed here quickly.

However, after rushing over, they found that there were too many manta rays here.If there are a few or a dozen of them, it is barely possible to find a way to drive them away.

However, a casual visual inspection shows that there are more than a hundred manta rays at the scene, and there are also a steady stream of manta rays coming here.

In this case, don't talk about rushing forward, even if you get closer, you are afraid of accidents!

At this time, the oil film on the sea surface is constantly expanding. Even if the manta rays do not continue to move forward, the oil film layer will invade the clean sea area. It is not certain that the manta rays will be trapped by the oil film in the next second.

Although the manta ray is huge in size, the larger the size, the larger the area covered by oil pollution.Even if it can escape in the end, the oil film on its body will adhere to the manta ray for a long time, and it may be poisoned to death in no time.

However, the most terrible thing now is not this situation, but the manta ray in front is blocked here and cannot move forward, but the manta ray behind does not know what happened, and still rushes forward.

This situation is the same as traffic jams in human society. If this continues, it is tantamount to forcing the manta rays ahead to the oil-polluted area.

Regardless of the vastness of the ocean, it seems that you can move in all directions, and there is no traffic jam at all.

In fact, it is not the case, because there are various ocean currents in the ocean. In addition to being affected by ocean currents, marine animals are also affected by their own behavior habits or other species when they move. Therefore, the range of activities of marine life is not what we imagined. That's completely free.

Moreover, in the current situation, even if the outer manta rays can escape, the manta rays in the central area cannot escape anyway.

Based on the number of manta rays that can be seen so far, it is afraid that there are no less than a few thousand.The inertia force caused by so many manta rays moving forward will be extremely huge, and it is entirely possible that the manta rays in front will be engulfed by this force and break into the oil-contaminated area.

Zhuang Mu looked at the countless manta rays jumping up and down on the sea, and fell into deep thought with a solemn expression.

He had never tried to communicate with sea animals using the gift of empathy before, and he didn't know how effective it would be.

More importantly, if it is a terrestrial animal or a bird, at least you can try to communicate with your eyes first.

But these manta rays are so huge, and the two eyes are so far apart, and they are constantly leaping and diving, without stopping for a moment.

In addition, he is now on the plane again, and the two sides are so far away.In this case, the two parties don't even have the chance to meet their eyes, let alone display their talents of empathy.

The plane kept circling in mid-air around the sea area where the manta rays were located. Zhuang Mu thought for a while in the cabin, and suddenly thought of a note. He turned his head and said to Xia Jingshen, "I figured out a way to lure these manta rays away."

After hearing this, Xia Jingshen, Jimmy, and Pope all looked at Zhuang Mu with puzzled faces.

Zhuang Mu smiled and shouted to the pilot: "Please fly lower and try to get as close to the sea as possible!"

After hearing this, the pilot immediately controlled the plane to lower the altitude. Since the manta ray jumps at a height of 1.5 meters, sometimes it is more than that high.So for safety reasons, the plane can only stay at a height of three or four meters.

Zhuang Mu guessed that the height from the sea was about the same, so he turned his head and said to Xia Jingshen beside him, "Don't come down!"

After speaking, I got into a good posture and wanted to jump down.

"What do you want?!" Xia Jingshen immediately grabbed his arm.

"Don't worry! I can swim!" Zhuang Mu patted Xia Jingshen's hand.

"Remember not to come down!" Zhuang Mu pulled Xia Jingshen's hand away and jumped into the sea.

Jimmy and Pope in the cabin were frightened by Zhuang Mu's sudden crazy behavior, and they all stood on the cabin door and looked at the sea in stunned amazement.

After speaking, he jumped out of the plane suddenly.
