Since walruses are extremely aggressive towards humans, they can definitely be found by standing a short distance away.
As for Ning Wei, she climbed onto the pipes above, allowing her to open and close the door at any time.
If the number of walruses inside was large, Ning Wei would have to control the door.
Only releasing a few at a time would increase their chances of killing them.
Li Ye, on the other hand, stood by the door. As soon as Ning Wei opened it, he could see the situation inside at a glance, which would be beneficial for everyone's subsequent plans.
Li Ye looked up at Ning Wei, silently asking if she was ready.
Ning Wei nodded, placed her hand on the highest part of the door, ready to close it at any moment.
Li Ye gently opened the door and peeked inside through the gap.
There was no discrepancy with what Bai Yang had said. He estimated there were about twenty large walruses inside, plus a dozen smaller ones.
Because he opened the door very quietly, possibly using a special skill, the walruses inside didn't notice at all.
He gently closed the door and explained the situation.
Everyone gathered together, planning to release three or four at a time, and they should be able to finish within a morning.
Li Ziang was particularly excited, holding a tusk in his hand, looking eager to try.
"Don't underestimate them just because they are clumsy. Be careful, so don't let your guard down," Mei Nan said as he walked over to remind Li Ziang.
Li Ziang nodded.
Everyone was ready. Ning Wei and Li Ye cooperated, and soon released three large walruses.
As soon as the walruses smelled humans, they charged forward.
Fortunately, there were enough people, and with Li Ye holding the line, they were quickly dealt with.
They pulled out the tusks, and gained six more weapons.
Using walrus tusks against walruses was quite something. It made one wonder if the walruses died with their eyes wide open in disbelief.
Using this method, they indeed dealt with the walruses that had made Bai Yang and his companions tremble in fear. Not even the seemingly cute little walruses were spared.
This was Li Ziang's personal doing. When he saw the door, he noticed many human limbs at the bottom of the pool, and even the little walruses were feeding on them.
Perhaps this scene stimulated Li Ziang. While everyone had originally planned to spare the smaller ones, Li Ziang was very resolute and didn't need anyone's help.
After dealing with the walruses, the most dangerous creatures in the marine park were finally cleared out.
The most dangerous place marked on the map was here, as it had caused the deaths of several people before, and contained a large group of man-eating walruses.
If Zhang Haiyang had no backup plan, his guard team would be completely finished.
With their major concern resolved, everyone returned to the cafeteria and ate a bit more than usual.
They hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. While eating, they began asking about the next plan.
Ning Wei thought for a moment: "I have a big idea, I don't know if you want to try it."
"Tell us," Bai Xue said, looking at her.
"Although we don't know where Zhang Haiyang is hiding, we saw the place where he disappeared. If we can find a way to destroy it, maybe we can find him."
"You mean go back to the place where we were locked up before?" Bai Yang's voice was sharp.
Bai Xue glared at her, and she deflated again.
"Because this place is special, you all decide for yourselves," Ning Wei clarified first.
If they were locked up again, they might truly die inside.
They had done so many things to provoke Zhang Haiyang. Perhaps he was just waiting for them to fall into his trap and kill them all.
"Your idea is very risky," Mei Nan was the first to state his opinion.
"Isn't this all about excitement?" Song Zhi supported Ning Wei.
Opinions varied. Finally, Ning Wei made the decision: "Li Ye and I will go together. You all do other things, how about that?"
"Then you two..." Teacher Mei was worried about their safety.
"We'll be fine," Li Ye said, speaking for the first time in a while.
Ning Wei and Li Ye's plan for the afternoon was decided. As for the others, they would not participate.
Before leaving, Bai Xue took two more eggs from her bowl and stuffed them into Ning Wei's hand, whispering: "Be sure to be careful!"
Ning Wei knew that Bai Xue was doing this for her sister, Bai Yang.
"Don't worry, I'm not taking it to heart," Ning Wei said softly.
As soon as they stepped out of the cafeteria, Yuan Yuan chased after them.
She looked at Ning Wei as if she had something to say but couldn't. Ning Wei waited patiently.
"I know this is perhaps inappropriate, but I'm still concerned about Zhang Shuang's body. Could you..."
Ning Wei immediately replied: "I can help you check. You go and attend to your business, don't worry."
Hearing this, Yuan Yuan relaxed and watched Ning Wei and Li Ye leave.
Song Zhi poked his head out: "Don't you think those two are a perfect match?"
It seemed Song Zhi was determined to figure out the relationship between Ning Wei and Li Ye, unaware that even the two involved didn't know.
"Ambiguity is the most beautiful," Yuan Yuan said, leaving that sentence behind before returning to the cafeteria.
With no one else accompanying them, Ning Wei and Li Ye moved quickly.
They arrived at the main entrance. The large iron gate was gone, replaced by what it was like when they first entered.
"Does he plan to lock us up again?" Ning Wei reached out and touched the door, trying to find where the large iron gate had descended, so she could sabotage it beforehand.
Li Ye took a key from his pocket. He had opened the door when they left, so he had kept the key. He hadn't expected it to be useful now.
Ning Wei also couldn't find the large iron gate. She wondered what Zhang Haiyang was thinking, as he was quite adept at setting up these mechanisms.
Looking at the artificial mermaids he had made, Zhang Shuang's tail was so ugly that Ning Wei wanted to die. Yet, Zhang Haiyang, lacking aesthetic sense, thought they were beautiful.
Even setting aside the tails, given his experimental approach, the so-called perfect mermaids wouldn't live long. It was a complete waste of life!
"Let's go," Li Ye urged Ning Wei, seeing her lingering.
They walked in one after another. Ning Wei remembered Yuan Yuan's words, but there was nothing on the floor. Zhang Shuang's body had vanished.
"He must have taken it away!" Ning Wei immediately realized.
"Since he's so obsessed with mermaids, he would definitely take Zhang Shuang's body back to continue his research," Li Ye agreed.
Ning Wei sighed, wondering what Yuan Yuan's reaction would be when she heard the news.
The body had been taken by Zhang Haiyang, and who knew what he would do to it. It was indeed hard to accept.
"The person is dead. The body is just a shackled burden. No matter how it's treated, I don't think Zhang Shuang would care," Li Ye saw through Ning Wei's thoughts.
"You're right. You're the one who's clear-headed," Ning Wei suddenly envied Li Ye. He understood very little about human relationships.
