Chapter 245 The Moving Killer Whale Mother and Son

Chapter 245: Chapter 245: The Moving Killer Whale Mother and Son

Liang He didn’t intend to keep them in suspense on purpose; she just couldn’t accept this speculation for a moment. She was also afraid that if she said it out loud, the Tiger Whale Mother waiting by the Sea Ship might hear it and feel heartbroken.

"The Little Tiger Whale’s toxins were very likely passed down from the mother’s body," Lan Zhuo stated.

Compared to Liang He’s hesitation, Lan Zhuo, who was a straight shooter in this regard, clearly had no such scruples. His blunt words inevitably plunged everyone present into silence. They finally understood why Liang He had such an expression and hesitated to speak.

"So, the Tiger Whale Mother should have been the one poisoned, but when it was pregnant and giving birth, the toxins were transferred into the Little Tiger Whale’s body?" Lick found this result a bit hard to accept.

A female Killer Whale would only give birth about five times in its lifetime. Although this seemed like a lot compared to humans, for them, every single cub was incredibly precious.

"Yes... judging from all aspects of the analysis, this should be the cause of the poisoning." Although Liang He really didn’t want to admit it, once all other factors were eliminated, whatever remained, no matter how unacceptable, must be the truth.

Seeing that everyone was in low spirits, President Lucas comforted the young people instead. "Hasn’t the Little Tiger Whale met us now? Especially Liang He—she will definitely figure out a way to save it. There is still hope after all."

Just as President Lucas said, since Liang He had encountered this situation, she wouldn’t give up easily. Moreover, she had promised the Tiger Whale Mother that she would do her best to cure the Little Tiger Whale.

"Right! No matter what, we should cheer up and help cure the Little Tiger Whale!" Lick was successfully pumped up and became excited again.

"Exactly. However, I have a question," Leila, who didn’t know much about this field, raised her hand to ask.

Everyone turned their gaze toward her, curious about what she wanted to know.

"If the toxins in the Little Tiger Whale’s body accumulated during the Tiger Whale Mother’s pregnancy, is the Tiger Whale Mother now cleared of the toxins?"

Leila’s question really hit the nail on the head.

Liang He exchanged a glance with Lan Zhuo on the video call. The Veterinarian’s analysis results here still needed a little time, so perhaps she could go check on the Tiger Whale Mother first.

"I’ll go down and check on the Tiger Whale Mother. If it isn’t poisoned, then it must have transferred all the toxins from its body into the fetus," Liang He said.

"Okay," Lan Zhuo replied.

Ever since he learned that Liang He was the one who created the Silver Moon Wolf evolution pill, and having experienced the animal poisoning incident together, Lan Zhuo trusted Liang He’s abilities immensely. He had also inadvertently learned a few things about Liang He from Chou the Pharmacist, such as the fact that her talent in medicine was no less than Chou the Pharmacist’s.

It was just that Liang He’s ambitions lay elsewhere. Coupled with personal reasons, she chose to leave the Blue Star and become an ordinary Breeder on the Sky Shining Star. Liang He herself probably hadn’t expected that the ordinary and peaceful life she had envisioned would become increasingly colorful.

"The Little Tiger Whale is still undergoing examination. I need to give you a physical checkup too, okay?" Liang He asked gently.

She didn’t tell the Tiger Whale Mother the truth about the poisoning. They only needed to wait for the Little Tiger Whale to recover; why let troublesome matters disturb their happy lives?

"EEE-AH!"

Perhaps thinking that its cooperation was needed to treat the Little Tiger Whale, the Tiger Whale Mother agreed to Liang He without hesitation. As a mother, if the Little Tiger Whale needed it, it would probably give up its own life just as readily. Otherwise, before meeting Liang He, it wouldn’t have carried the Little Tiger Whale on its back day and night, terrified that it might accidentally sink to the bottom of the sea and never wake up again.

"Thank you for your trust. Don’t worry, I will definitely cure the Little Tiger Whale."

Although the toxin analysis wasn’t out yet, after reading the examination report, Liang He was already ninety-nine percent sure. The remaining one percent came from her absolute confidence in the special pills she had developed.

After all, this was the "gift" left to her by that person.

"EEE-AH! EEE-AH!"

The Tiger Whale Mother was thanking Liang He. It could feel Liang He’s emotions and the kindness she exuded. With its cooperation, Liang He smoothly completed its preliminary examination, and the results were exactly as she had predicted.

"There are no toxins in the mother’s body," Liang He announced.

The Little Tiger Whale had borne everything alone for its mother. Liang He’s heart felt a bit heavy, and the expressions on the others’ faces weren’t much better. They marveled at the deep bond between the Killer Whale mother and child, yet they also sighed at the cruel tricks of fate. It was a complex mix of emotions that was hard to put into words.

"The analysis results are out!"

Breaking the silence was the toxin report analyzed by the Veterinarian. When Lan Zhuo saw the report, his brows suddenly furrowed. His indifferent expression vanished, replaced by a grave look.

"Liang He, don’t you find this report a bit familiar?" Lan Zhuo asked.

Following his reminder, Liang He and the others carefully reviewed the analysis report. President Lucas and the rest might not have felt anything, but Liang He and Huo An immediately spotted the problem.

"This report is somewhat similar to the analysis report from the Sky Shining Star poisoning incident," Huo An said.

As the district chief, Huo An logically shouldn’t have had the time to look at these things. But out of various considerations, he had carefully read all the submitted reports at the time, which naturally included the toxin analysis.

"Although the components deviate slightly, it’s essentially the same concoction," Liang He pointed out. Compared to a layman like Huo An, Liang He was obviously more of an expert.

Moreover, this report looked more like the one initially analyzed by Xu Yi, Lan Zhuo, and the others, rather than the later one from the Animal Research Institute. Even the toxin report analyzed by the Animal Research Institute lacked that one crucial trace toxin.

"If I’m not mistaken, there’s another trap hidden in here, waiting for us to step into."

Huo An had never expected that before they even began investigating the Mysterious Sea Area, they would somehow get involved with the Rebel Army’s poisonings again. He had thought that matter was already wrapped up.

"Wait! Are you suspecting that the poison in the Tiger Whale Mother’s body is related to the Rebel Army?"

As someone always on the frontlines of gossip and a diehard fan of Liang He, Lick was actually the first to catch the meaning behind their words. Following his question, the rest of the group, realizing it belatedly, widened their eyes in disbelief.

"No way, really? How did it get linked to the Rebel Army again?"

"So the poison in the Little Tiger Whale this time—is it the same as what the animals on the Sky Shining Star had?"

"It can’t be, right? Is it really that coincidental? Could you guys be overthinking it?"

The wave of doubts did not affect the judgment of Liang He and the others. Whether it was true or false, the future would naturally reveal the answer.

"If that’s the case, then Liang He, you can treat the Little Tiger Whale yourself. It shouldn’t be a big problem," Lan Zhuo said.

Lan Zhuo was someone who knew Liang He’s secret. Back then, when she fed medicine to the poisoned Iron-eating Beast, causing its condition to differ from the other animals, it was Lan Zhuo who helped cover it up. Although Huo An and Xu Yi would have done the same, from Lan Zhuo’s perspective, this was already quite rare.

"Okay, I understand. Thank you," Liang He replied.

Receiving a definitive answer, Liang He felt much more relieved and confident. Hearing Lan Zhuo’s words, the others couldn’t help but cast curious glances at her.

"So, the animals on the Sky Shining Star being cured of the poison back then... was that also your doing, Liang He?"
