Chapter 735: Saving Wild Animals
With the help of drones, the entire ranch is equivalent to being monitored, and any problems can be found in time, and the nearest cowboy can be notified to rush over to deal with it, so that the efficiency is quickly improved.
Wang Hao couldn't help but nod after watching Leonard and Hank's treatment, this drone really didn't buy a loss, and it can play a role if it patrols around occasionally, not to mention that it can drive the sheep to the designated area sooner or later.
After making the call, Leonard directed the drone to fly towards the rest of the ranch, skimming over Duck Lake, through the swamp, across the wheat fields, and in a large circle before slowly returning to the warehouse.
The endurance of the drone is not bad, and it can be in the air for 3.5 hours on a full charge.
"Does the weather forecast say how long it will rain now?" Wang Hao frowned and asked, just after inspecting this circle, he found that the swamps in some places have dried up, and the water level of Wild Duck Lake has dropped a lot, and the flow of water in the stream next to the cowshed has also decreased a lot, although less rain is the norm in winter, but this year is obviously different.
Leonard shrugged his shoulders: "The Ministry of Agriculture has issued a drought warning, at least there will be no rain for the next week." We have started storing water in advance, the water towers are already filled with water, and we are also using groundwater to feed the animals. β
Drought is a problem that Australia cannot escape, this continent is drier than Africa, and the lack of water is an important reason for restricting the development of agriculture and animal husbandry.
The Golden Ranch is lucky, with several streams and lakes in the pasture that can barely hold it up. But this does not seem to be the solution, and the stream will dry up one day, if it does not rain for a long time. There will also be a threat of fire.
Even if it is a druid, there is nothing to do in the face of drought, this is a factor in the weather, Wang Hao can not do anything, he can only pray that God will not torture Australia too much.
Coming out of the warehouse, Wang Hao looked at the time on his watch, and then prepared to drive to the kangaroo shelter to pick up Su Jing back for dinner. Although there is also a staff cafeteria on the side of the shelter, it is certainly not as good as the skills of a private chef.
"I'll go first, you can call me if you have something. You'd better take a nap at noon, you must have gone to a bar last night, and your eyes were bloodshot. Wang Hao sat in the driver's seat and waved at Leonard at the door of the warehouse, asking him to eat something and hurry to rest.
Leonard touched his stubble. He barely slept all night last night. After meeting a woman in a bar with a nice figure, the two spent the night in a small hotel in the small town of Thor, and now they come back to work.
Wang Hao is worried about Leonard's physical problems, he doesn't want to see the cowboys on the ranch have accidents, no matter where they are, it is not a good thing for employees to have problems.
Originally, there was no road here, but there were many traces of the car running over, and a road was crushed. There is also some alfalfa grass growing in the middle of this driveway.
In the kangaroo shelter, the veterinarians and nurses in white coats looked nervous one by one. There are a lot of small black animals that have been sent here for emergency rescue.
"Leah, where is Su Jing?" Wang Hao couldn't help but ask, originally those doctors and nurses would smile and say hello when they saw him, but now they are all very busy, and there is no one at the front desk outside.
In the aisle, many animals were screaming in pain, their hair was scorched, and even their wounds were burned into scars.
Leah was also busy at this time, she held disinfectant alcohol in her hand, seriously disinfected the paws of a wild koala, and only after disinfection did she turn her head and say: "Su Jing, she is busy contacting animal hospitals in other places, there are too many burn animals here!" β
After that, Leah began to pick up bandages and medical tape to bandage the kangaroo's paws, as a bodyguard, she had received similar first-aid training, so the bandaging was very fast.
"There shouldn't be any fires in our neighborhood, right? Did all of this come from Victoria? Wang Hao saw on the news that there was a fire in Victoria because of the dry weather, but it was at least a few hundred kilometers away from here, and he didn't know how these burned animals appeared.
Leah, who was busy, sighed: "It's not the fire, it's the forest next to Swanhill that caught fire, but it was discovered in time, there were no casualties, and the newspaper didn't broadcast much, after all, the fire in Victoria was more terrifying." β
Wang Hao looked at the painful appearance of these animals, and his heart was a little heavy, the fire not only burned down those big trees, but also destroyed the homes they relied on to survive.
"I also know some first aid, what can I do?" Wang Hao took the initiative to say that the matter of eating can be slowed down, and the injuries of these animals can't wait.
Leah took out the first-aid kit in the cabinet and handed it to Wang Hao, she urged: "There are still many animals waiting to clean their wounds outside, you can help them clean them, and then apply medicine and bandage them." However, injured critters are more aggressive, so you can find a helper. β
Wang Hao took over the first-aid kit, which was fully equipped with disinfectant water, cotton swabs and medical gauze, and even some ointments for treating trauma and burns.
"No, no, I can do it alone, and if I need to find someone to help." Wang Hao walked outside with the box, he was a druid, and he obviously didn't need any helpers to treat these animals, and there were not enough people in the kangaroo shelter.
In the hallway, a firefighter covered in ashes sat on a bench, his face blackened by smoke, only his teeth and eyes were a little shiny. The original bright orange firefighting suit has also become dirty, but such a tough guy gently holds a koala.
This is the most respectable person, after extinguishing the fire, he sent the koala here for emergency treatment, Wang Hao was full of respect for him, although he couldn't see how big his appearance was, but he still said: "Hey, I'll take care of this little guy's wound, you can rest next to him for a while." β
"Excuse me, its mom and dad died in the fire. The hair on his body was also burned, and when he was found, his paws were bleeding and burned. β
Wang Hao nodded, and he put on rubber gloves. Then seriously sterilize this koala, the claws it uses to climb trees are bloody and blurry, and some of the flesh on them is even mushy.
Although it was very painful, this little koala did not struggle too much, and after Wang Hao passed through the previous unity of heaven and man, his friendliness towards the animals has reached a new level.
"Good boy, well done!"
Use tweezers and a cotton swab to remove the contents from the small koala paws. The ointment is applied immediately, and then tied with a bandage.
The little koala had minor injuries and had been given painkillers beforehand. So it's easier to treat.
At the end, Wang Hao touched its head and quietly turned his magic power into a healing technique and cast it on the little koala's body, so that it could speed up its recovery.
The firefighter looked at the little koala, who didn't cry or make a fuss. opened his mouth and said to Wang Hao: "Sir." Thank you, but there are still a lot of animals out there that need help. β
"That's what we should do, I promise I'll try to cure them all, and now maybe you should feed this poor little creature some water, it looks a little dehydrated."
Wang Hao didn't talk for too long, he entered the emergency room and found that there were more animals lying on the hospital bed.
A large number of animals were burned, and the smoke from the burning caused a considerable number of animals to become ill.
A large number of kangaroos were engulfed in flames as they tried to escape. Or choke on the side of the road in smoke, only a few lucky kangaroos escaped. These kangaroos were burned on a small scale, or burned by hot branches, and when the surviving kangaroos returned to their habitat in habit, their paws were burned on the ground.
The hares and wombats, which are accustomed to burrowing, have escaped, but their homes have been destroyed, there is no food, and what awaits them is death or migration.
Hundreds of kangaroos, koalas, lizards, snakes and birds have been burned, frightened and dehydrated.
This is a common catastrophe for humans and animals, and animal emergency centers in big cities such as Melbourne are simply overwhelmed, so Swanhill can only save itself.
The Kangaroo Sanctuary in the Golden Ranch is well-known in the vicinity, so it is incumbent upon us to accept this difficult task at this time, and we can save as many lives as we can.
In the shelter, medical personnel provided antibiotics, painkillers and drinking water to relieve the injuries of the injured animals, and for some animals whose lungs inhaled large amounts of smoke, they were ventilated to try to save their lives.
However, for some seriously injured animals, they have to be euthanized to reduce suffering.
The staff carried a box of gray-headed flying fox carcasses past Wang Hao, and some of the injured gray-headed flying foxes were overly frightened and badly burned, and there was little hope of surviving.
Seeing these adorable animals die in front of them makes every medical worker heartbroken.
There are two operating tables in the emergency room, and Su Jing is following Katie to perform the operation, she hands various tools to Katie, and Katie takes a needle and thread and begins to sew up the wound.
Normally, it is impossible for people to enter and exit the emergency room casually, but now there are so many seriously injured animals that there is no extra mood to pay attention to them.
Wang Hao looked at the poor little kangaroo in front of him, its parents were dead, but it didn't smoke too much because it was hidden in its mother's belly bag.
But even so, its form is not optimistic, its ears are almost burnt, there is not a single beard left, and its nose is burned, and at this time it is lying on the side with weak breath.
Wang Hao sighed, he injected a trace of magic into the wallaby's body, and then began to seriously clean the wound, this kangaroo who laughed for two or three months will always survive in the kangaroo shelter in the future.
With the help of his own magic power, this little kangaroo will live safely, Su Jing on the side couldn't help but smile after seeing Wang Hao's movements, and then continued to concentrate on being an assistant.
Wang Hao himself doesn't know much medicine, he can only treat and disinfect some lightly injured animals, and at the same time use magic to relieve their pain and speed up wound healing.
For those seriously injured animals, Wang Hao was powerless, so he could only pretend to come forward to visit, and occasionally when he touched those animals, he would inject magic and use magic to hang their lives.
He didn't dare to use his magic unscrupulously in front of so many people, it would definitely be seen, and now he could only use magic to maintain the vitality of the animals.
At this time, Wang Hao squatted down to look at a turtle that was placed in a basin of water, he turned his head and asked the volunteer who was sitting not far away, "Man, why was this turtle sent here?" Where did it hurt."
The volunteer from the New South Wales Society for Animals Advocates knocked his head on the wall, sighed and said: "This animal was almost burned all over, it curled up in a turtle shell in the fire, and when the firefighters put out the fire, they thought they had found a moving stone, and it turned out to be a turtle covered with ashes." β
The vitality of this turtle is really amazing, it was burned like that, and it still left a breath, and now it is lying in a basin filled with a layer of water to cool down, waiting for follow-up treatment.
Wang Hao didn't know how to save it, because there were almost no wounds on the surface of its body, but it was burned into internal injuries, so he put his finger in the basin and stirred it gently, and a wave of magic slowly spread from the water to the turtle's body.
If you don't die, there will be a blessing, this turtle's spirit was suddenly shocked, and then quickly bit Wang Hao's finger!
Startled by this sudden attack, Wang Hao was quite surprised, why was he attacked by a turtle? Is it hard that the breath of the moral rue does not work?
The volunteer glanced at Wang Hao and immediately shouted, "Put your hand in the water, it will let go in the water." β
But the water in this basin in front of me is only a very shallow layer, and it can't drown your fingers at all!
Ten fingers connected to the heart, Wang Hao felt the pain abnormal, his face was more distorted, and he quietly used his magic power to his fingers to relieve his pain, he knocked on the turtle's shell: "What the hell is going on with you?" I'm here to help you, let go. β
Good people are not rewarded, Wang Hao didn't dare to struggle too hard so as not to bite off his fingers, he looked at the turtle in front of him, and then flicked its head hard.
After being attacked by the magic force, the turtle quickly let go of its mouth, then retracted its head into the shell, and did not dare to come out without moving.
βAre-you-OKοΌβ The volunteer asked with concern, he didn't expect this to happen.
Wang Hao put his finger in front of his eyes and looked at it, but fortunately there was no broken skin, which was stronger than anything else.
The initiator is still cowering in the turtle shell and refuses to come out, since Wang Hao became a druid, he has never worried about being attacked by animals, but today it is an exception.
He grabbed the turtle's shell with his hand, wanting to feel what the turtle was thinking, and actually attacked the savior.
The volunteer thought that Wang Hao wanted to take revenge on the turtle, and hurriedly said: "Sir, what you are doing is very dangerous, you can't maliciously attack these wild animals, maybe it's just too scared in a strange place." (To be continued.) )
