POLAR BEAR ARC CHAPTER 2

                                    

                                          

It was the scent of a young male polar bear, very young, and posed little threat to an adult male polar bear.
If Otis hadn't been injured and was hungry when he encountered this polar bear, he would likely have killed him.
But now, Otis was injured and had plenty of food, so he had no interest in killing this young polar bear.
Back inside, Qiao Qixi was very worried that Otis would crawl through the gap in the wall and cause trouble.
Fortunately, Otis just stood there for a while and then left, seemingly disinterested.
The gap in the wall might have been a blind spot for the surveillance cameras, and the staff hadn't noticed it. This left Qiao Qixi with the risk of being attacked by his neighbor, making it hard for him to sleep.
To ensure a good night's sleep, Qiao Qixi felt it necessary to alert the staff to the gap.
So, after eating, he would wander around the gap, trying to draw the staff's attention.
However, doing so was like repeatedly dancing on the edge of death, as every time he appeared near the gap, Otis would be drawn over.
In other words, even Otis noticed, but the staff still didn't.
Were they that negligent?
Would the staff only notice the wall was down when Otis came over, chewed him to death with his sharp fangs?
Imagining his own death, Qiao Qixi's fur stood on end in fear.
He firmly believed that Otis wasn't coming over for now only because his injuries hadn't healed, making it difficult to climb the wall.
Once Otis recovered, he would definitely come over and finish him off.
As the saying goes, the first strike is the strongest. With a full belly, Qiao Qixi thought he should take action before Otis regained his strength, to alert the staff by wandering over.
This plan sounded like a suicide mission.
That morning, under the warm sun, Qiao Qixi once again peeked over the wall at Otis.
The big guy had half his body exposed outside, dozing in the sun, seemingly in a deep sleep.
Compared to the snow-white fur of Qiao Qixi, Otis's fur was not as white, with a hint of yellowish tint.
Qiao Qixi thought about it but didn't dare to act rashly.
Fine, let's wait and see.
Fortunately, after a few days, Otis still showed no interest in attacking Qiao Qixi. He didn't even chase Qiao Qixi away when he peeked over the wall.
That wasn't scientific, was it?
Over time, even someone as inexperienced as Qiao Qixi could see that Otis wasn't in good shape, not just physically.
Sure enough, Qiao Qixi overheard the staff saying that Otis seemed to be struggling with life at the rescue center and was a bit emotionally depressed.
Psychological issues in animals aren't unheard of. Even domestic cats and dogs sometimes fall into depressive moods.
If this continued, Otis might indeed be released back into the wild prematurely, which would be dangerous.
With a sea fish in his mouth, Qiao Qixi peeked at his neighbor, who had no energy or spirit. Even when he noticed Qiao Qixi, he just lay on the snow, lifting his eyelids slightly.
