Chapter 35

[It's on! It's on! Can we see Little War Beast today?]

Lin Na was still adjusting the live camera, and the comments were already impatiently brushing up -

[I'm squatting in the front row, hoping to see the majestic Zhuifeng. I haven't seen it for several days.]

[Zhuifeng is either sleeping or using Dr. Jiang as a foot warmer. Is there any need to guess?]

When the camera finally focused, a fluffy phantom kitten was napping on Lina's lap, its round belly rising and falling slightly, and its ears twitching from time to time. The comments became even more excited:

[It's Didi! Didi, long time no see!]

[Please move aside, I'll take a sip first!]

Just as the audience was frantically taking screenshots of the kitten, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the screen, and a figure passed by like the wind: "Doctor Jiang! The chicks have hatched!"

The barrage paused.

What did she say? What hatched?

"Right now, the goshawks and the wild pheasant are the only ones in the gathering area who lay eggs, right? So, did those two goshawks actually lay eggs and successfully hatch them?"

[What's the recent birth rate at the War Beast Breeding Facility?]

A few seconds later, Jiang Zihan quickly flashed across the screen of the live broadcast room holding a nutrition box, followed closely by two figures, one black and one white.

[Wait, the white one is Zhuifeng, who is the black one? Why is there another one? Oh my god!]

[Why does it look familiar...?]

Jiang Zihan lay on the treetop, with her fingertips condensing the bright white mental power, detecting the data of the goshawk chicks from a distance, so as to prevent her scent from affecting the mood of the eagle parents.

The little guy had just hatched less than 24 hours ago, with a few gray and white hairs still clinging to his body, and his beak was so tender that it was almost transparent.

She prepared a lot of nutritious meals for the new parents to help them build up their physical strength to take care of the babies. On the other hand, she carefully picked up a small piece of meat with tweezers, and the chicks immediately raised their necks and swallowed it with a chirping sound.

She glanced at the treetops above her head and was a little worried about the temperature there, but she couldn't keep them in a greenhouse. If she was still worried, she could only increase the number of patrols.

"Don't worry." Lu Chenyuan stood under the tree. "They are much stronger than we imagined. Don't underestimate the war beasts."

Da Cangtuan looked down at her in his nest, a look of trust reflected in his golden brown eyes.

…

The news spread like wildfire from several live broadcast rooms simultaneously.

The newly born goshawk chicks injected new vitality into the gathering place. Those retired war beasts had already attracted the attention of the federal top leaders, and the birth of the chicks made them even more excited.

In a secret meeting room outside, seven senior generals watched the live broadcast simultaneously online. The phrase "The chicks have hatched" played on a loop. An officer on the left suddenly slapped the armrest and said, "Notify Liang Luan immediately! The military needs genetic samples from these chicks!"

Someone spoke from below: "Colonel, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Why not let them test the waters first? It would be best if we could get all the goshawks out and see if we can stimulate reproduction again..."

In the next few days, Liang Luan's terminal communication requests increased several times, and the communication logos of the military, research institute and even the parliament flashed in turn.

When he hung up the phone at the War Beast Breeding Institute for the fifth time, he almost crawled under the table.

As the former master of the two Cang birds, he maneuvers between various forces every day, working tirelessly to preserve the freedom of the chicks.

Turns out those people not only want the small ones, they want the big ones too!

Liang Luan's eyes were red: "A bunch of lunatics..."

Half an hour later, he angrily pushed open the door of the clinic, sat down on the stool, looked at his old friend who was helping Jiang Zihan, and suddenly said, "Why don't I retire too."

Lu Chenyuan paused, put down the tweezers and looked over, only to find Liang Luan's face serious. He raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you serious?"

"Really, being a sandwich is so boring."

Lu Chenyuan and Jiang Zihan looked at each other, and the latter suddenly took out a document from the cabinet and handed it over.

Liang Luan: "What is this?"

Jiang Zihan: "The letter of guarantee when signing for the war beast."

Liang Luan was stunned. He almost forgot the existence of this document.

Jiang Zihan: "It says that when a war beast is sent to the Land of Exile, the previous owner will voluntarily give up custody of the war beast. If the clinic needs cooperation, then ownership will be transferred to me."

The reason why she allowed Liang Luan to come and go freely was purely because she gave him some leniency because he truly loved the war beasts.

Liang Luan immediately flipped through the document, his eyes widening as he saw the stamp from Gaota at the end. He pointed at Lu Chenyuan with a trembling finger, "You...you actually...you plotted against me!"

"This was signed by the former Minister of the Tower. It has nothing to do with you." Lu Chenyuan raised his lips and said, "You're welcome."

He went in and out of the tower so frequently at that time just to finalize this matter when the internal situation was in chaos. Originally, he didn't know why Jiang Zihan was so anxious, but now it seems that she had thought one step ahead.

Jiang Zihan put away the scalpel. "This is also part of the protection chain. When the war beasts arrive at the clinic, I will do my best to ensure their safety. But this does not mean that they can be sent back to be cannon fodder after they are healthy. Until the rights of the war beasts are fully protected, none of you can force them."

Liang Luan almost couldn't breathe. In order to avoid falling here, he quickly drove away.

After returning to the tower, he handed in the letter of guarantee, letting those people worry about it themselves, and then locked himself in the room.

At this moment, the terminal lit up again. He weakly clicked it open, and Feng Xiangming's face appeared on the video: "Since you have a letter of guarantee, why didn't you take it out earlier?"

Liang Luan got angry when she mentioned this, and complained aggrievedly: "This letter of guarantee was given to me by Lu Chenyuan!"

Out of trust in his old comrade, he thought it was just an ordinary adoption agreement and knew nothing about the regulations, so he let him in to sign.

Once this mark is placed on them, Da Cang and Xiao Cang no longer belong to him.

Feng Xiangming: "Isn't this a good thing? At least we don't have to send the war beast to the military at this critical moment."

The military is in deep trouble right now. Some people have gone completely mad, focusing solely on exploiting the fertility of the war beasts, completely disregarding the threat of mutations. If this continues, a second strike at the war beast breeding facility will soon be imminent.

Liang Luan knew this was a good thing for the War Beasts, but he was furious at his good comrade! Old friend! He had so calmly sided with the Exiled Land!

This will undoubtedly block your own retreat!

He sighed softly. Perhaps, he had already made his final choice when he chose to leave the tower.

At this time, Lu Chenyuan was training Black Panther with a whistle in his mouth.

The black panther Shunying lay on the ground, wagging its tail, and seemed to be ignoring his commands.

"This is Doctor Jiang's whistle," he said, staring at the uncooperative Shunying. "All war beasts can understand the whistle, except you. Are you sure you don't want to learn it?"

Shunying's ears moved, and then he reluctantly sat up and cooperated.

A few days later, Lu Chenyuan finally taught the whistle how to use it. When he handed Shunying and the whistle back to Jiang Zihan, he took the initiative to report, "I'm going to Area B. I won't be back today."

Jiang Zihan was stunned: "Did you find anything unusual?"

Lu Chenyuan shook his head: "I just remembered that I left something there."

Jiang Zihan frowned. Ever since the wildfire, everyone in the gathering place had reduced the number of times they went out. It might not be a good time to travel far away now.

While Lu Chenyuan was sorting out his equipment, she quietly stuffed the three hemostatic gels modified by Zhao Ming into his backpack.

On the evening of the third day, Lu Chenyuan finally appeared at the door of the gathering place. When he approached, he found that he was holding a ball of snow-white fur in his arms, and his front paws were scratching at his bloody collar.

Jiang Zihan couldn't help but look at him repeatedly, reaching out to check: "Are you still injured?"

Lu Chenyuan dodged sideways: "Rabbit's blood." He picked up the fur ball. "A healing war beast, very rare."

The Moonlight Rabbit trembled slightly in her hands. Jiang Zihan subconsciously combed the tangled hair with her fingertips, and her mental power began to soothe it.

Lu Chenyuan stared at her calmly. Because they were very close, he finally sensed the subtle fluctuation, and his eyes flashed.

"Come with me." Jiang Zihan walked into the room without looking back, and the "click" sound of his gloves was particularly crisp.

Lu Chenyuan followed and said, "The number of evil beasts in the wild has obviously increased."

"Sit down." Jiang Zihan reached out to grab his collar. He instinctively grabbed her wrist, but was glared at. "You don't even listen to the doctor?"

Lu Chenyuan withdrew his hand and softened his voice: "You're so fierce, Doctor Jiang."

Jiang Zihan didn't respond and pulled open his collar, revealing a hideous scratch mark. Further down, there were obvious traces of hemostatic gel. It was obvious that he had suffered a lot of injuries this time.

As she cleaned, she asked, "What do you think happened to the evil beast?"

Lu Chenyuan's face grew serious. "I found footprints of evil beasts nearby. Now that there's no dense forest blocking them, they could attack the gathering place at any time if they cross the mountain."

Jiang Zihan's eyes darkened.
