Qi Zai let out a low rumble from its throat, its sharp, golden eyes gazing toward the back mountain, revealing a longing for the vast sky.
'Understood, Master.'
"Go on." Yang Qi swept his arm upward.
"SCREEE—!"
A clear, soaring cry tore through the heavy air above the Zoo. In response, a massive gray-and-white figure took to the sky. Its wings stirred up a powerful current, kicking up a gust of wind as it sped toward the lush, green back mountain, quickly shrinking into a soaring black dot.
The technician stared intently at the tablet in his hands. On the screen, the dot representing Qi Zai moved steadily, and various basic data points fluctuated.
"Signal stable, flight path normal, altitude climbing... It's entered the back mountain region."
"Good. Keep monitoring, and notify me immediately of any abnormal fluctuations."
