Chapter 112

Two o'clock in the morning, northwest corner of the second service area.

The "bang bang bang" sound was small and abrupt.

The mastiff drank too much water and got up in the middle of the night to urinate. It did not disturb the actor who slept in the same room with it, nor did it urinate in the indoor war animal toilet. It went outside and found a bush to urinate.

After lifting its hind legs to urinate, it was about to go back, but was attracted by the "swooshing" sound from the right.

The mastiff sniffed its way over there, its nose twitching, and then it jumped out of the tall bushes.

"Gaha!" As soon as the mastiff jumped out, it was roared at by a small beast with a black body and a white back.

The mastiff stepped back, lolling out its tongue, and looked at the little animal.

It sees humans as small animals, and humans see it as a small animal as well.

The black-clawed badger stared at the puppy in front of him arrogantly.

Yes, the pupil structure of the honey badger is different from that of other animals. The eyes of the honey badger are like a concave lens. All animals appear very small in their eyes.

Since no matter how big the animal is, it looks tiny to me, how could I be afraid of you?

Honey badgers will not be afraid, and the honey badger's evolved species, the black-clawed badger, is even less likely to be afraid.

Xiaozhong had never seen this little beast before, but as a naturally enthusiastic dog, he still wagged his tail at the Black Claw Badger.

The black-clawed badger looked at the puppy warily, and when he saw that it did not provoke him, he turned his head and continued digging the hole.

The bushes are not just grass and trees, there is also a circle of wooden fences inside the bushes. Since these bushes were transplanted, Mu Ling was afraid that animals would step on them and flatten them, so she buried wooden fences inside to fix them in place.

The wooden fence is not very high, only about one meter, but it is still a bit troublesome for the short black-clawed badger.

So, the badger, which was born with a pair of sharp claws, dug a hole directly below, trying to dig through the fence and get through.

"Woof!" At this time, the panting mastiff stood up directly, then lowered its head and began to dig the hole with a "thu thu thu" sound.

The vicious badger ignored the mastiff.

However, after proving that it also had a strong ability to dig holes, the mastiff took the initiative to go over and help the badger dig the hole.

Black Claw Badger: “?”

"Puff, puff, puff!" The cheerful puppy dug harder than a ferocious badger. Soon, the hole that was only half dug was dug through.

The black-clawed badger slid straight through. The mastiff stretched its head out to sniff and found that the hole was only big enough for its claws to pass through, but not its body.

Then it shook off the mud on its head, jumped up, and jumped into the bushes again.

"Woof!" After jumping in, the dog barked at the badger again, then walked forward wagging its tail, signaling the badger to follow it.

The black-clawed badger ran in another direction.

The mastiff quickly chased it, stood in front of the vicious badger, and barked again: "Woof!"

Not this side.

The black-clawed badger was a little annoyed and rushed over to scratch the mastiff!

The mastiff didn't expect it to attack him, so he quickly retreated to avoid it.

The road ahead was cleared, and the Black Claw Badger continued to run forward. After a while, it ran to the outside of a glass house.

Looking inside the glass house, there was Pin Yahu, who was sleeping and wrapped like a mummy.

The black-clawed badger suddenly jumped up and banged on the glass, grinning, trying to wake up Pin Yahu.

The mastiff followed quietly from behind, sitting on the ground and looking at the actions of the black-clawed badger in confusion.

At this time, other animals were also awakened by the two previous dog barking sounds.

The first to come out were the actors, who were naturally the most sensitive to the voices of loyalty.

Next is the high-armored deer.

Because the giraffe is too tall, it usually doesn't like to go indoors. Unless it rains, it sleeps outside. King Kong also slowly moved over.

After a while, five or six war beasts surrounded the uninvited guest, the Black Claw Badger.

The badger ignored them and started digging the soil again, trying to dig through the bottom of the glass and get into Pin Yahu's house.

“Slurp!!!”

At this time, Ta Yun, whose half wings were damaged, was also carried out by Lightning. When he saw the familiar little flat-headed man, Ta Yun was so angry that he wanted to go up and fight with the little flat-headed man!

As a result, its center of gravity was unstable and it couldn't fly, and it fell off Lightning's back with a "bang".

Lightning went over and licked Tayun's fur. Tayun stood up with great effort and rushed towards the Black Claw Badger on his own two feet.

After all, eagles are also very vengeful animals!

How could the black-clawed badger be spoiled? The flat-headed brother made a sharp "gaha" sound from his mouth, stopped digging the hole, and beat the chicken away first!

As it was about to pass by, the Qilin that came out with the lightning suddenly shouted: "Roar!"

The tiger's roar with a hint of anger attracted the attention of the badger, and the badger immediately turned its gun around and attacked the Qilin first!

Qilin was experienced in combat, and when the badger rushed over, he immediately pressed his claws on its back...

The noisy noise outside also woke up Xuehua and Meihua.

Meihua sniffed the air, then stood up and walked to the glass window.

After looking outside for a while, Meihua suddenly walked around to the door and called out: "Awoo—"

The sudden barking of the Wind-Chasing Wolf attracted the attention of other animals.

The black-clawed badger also saw Meihua at this time. It was stunned at first, then it broke free from Qilin's claws and ran a few steps towards Meihua.

It stopped after running a few steps because it had already smelled that it was indeed a beautiful flower.

The badger turned around and suddenly stopped fighting, walking towards the bushes from which he came.

None of the other animals tried to stop it, but Meihua suddenly picked up a roast chicken snack from the food bowl, rushed out quickly, stood in front of the black-clawed badger, spit out the roast chicken, and pushed it to it.

Faced with the feeding from the mother wolf, the badger refused to take it. He had a stern face, like a cold-blooded criminal.

Meihua left after putting the roast chicken out and returned to the glass house. She walked around the wolf cubs twice, sat down, and licked them.

The black-clawed badger walked around the roast chicken and came to the entrance of the cave. It looked back at the animals inside, then went into the cave and left the service area.

After the little flat-head left, the excitement died down and the animals began to walk back in groups of three or two and go back to sleep.

The next day, at 7:30 in the morning.

Mu Ling took off the earplugs recommended by Dr. Bree and after a simple wash, the first thing she did was to leave the veterinary station and go next door to see Pin Yahu.

Pinyahu Doubao had woken up by this time, but perhaps because it was wrapped in too many bandages, it felt very uncomfortable and had bitten off two of the bandages.

Seeing this, Mu Ling became anxious and hurriedly put on protective clothing while going forward to open the door and go in.

As a result, at this time...

“Bang!”

"Ouch!"

With a scream from the girl, she suddenly fell to the ground and fell flat on her face!

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling was a little confused. She got up in a daze and turned to look at her feet. Then she found: "Why is there a hole here!"

On the other side, Xiang Bie had just come down from the second floor when he saw Xiaobao passing by with a half-eaten roast chicken in his mouth. He frowned and was about to look again when he heard Mu Ling's voice coming from a distance.

He walked over quickly and saw Mu Ling had fallen down. He pulled her up and said with a serious face: "What happened?"

Mu Ling felt very aggrieved, she complained directly: "I don't know who dug the pit, I didn't see it!"

Xiang Bie looked at the pit and noticed that Mu Ling's hands were both scratched. He said, "Deal with it first."

Mu Ling had no choice but to go back to the veterinary station to clean the wound.

After cleaning, I turned around and saw Brother Xiang had already opened the medicine box and was removing the alcohol cotton. He said, "Come here."

Mu Ling paused for a moment, but still walked over slowly.

Xiang Bie took one of her hands and applied medicine to her.

Wei Li came down a little later than Brother Xiang. As a result, as soon as he came down and before he got close to the veterinary station, he saw Brother Xiang and the director holding hands in the veterinary station!

Wei Li: “!!!!”

Rub your eyes and look again!

Oh, I read it wrong, they are bandaging!

Wei Li hurried over and asked in confusion: "What happened?"

Mu Ling mentioned the pit next door. Wei Li went out to take a look and saw it was real. He asked, "Who dug it? Let me check the surveillance."

Wei Li clicked on the surveillance video, and when he saw it, he was stunned. What happened in the service area last night... was so exciting.

Wei Li threw the surveillance video into the air and shared it with Brother Xiang and the head of the garden. After watching it, Mu Ling was also surprised: "The black-clawed badger actually came last night, but it didn't come for Tayun, but for Doubao? And how did Meihua know it?"

The surveillance camera saw Mu Ling confused. After her hand was bandaged, she went out to see Pin Yahu again.

But in just a short while, Pin Yahu had bitten another bandage loose.

Mu Ling: “…”

Xiang Bie said at this time: "I'll go get a bite-proof collar."

Xiang Bie quickly went to the warehouse to get a bite-proof collar. Mu Ling also put on protective clothing at this time, and the two of them went in together to put the collar on Doubao.

But Pin Yahu can let them wear it obediently.

When Pin Yahu saw someone coming in, he immediately tried to stand up alertly, but many bones in his body were broken and he had too much plaster in his body, which made his limbs very stiff. He couldn't even stand up, let alone move.

Pin Yahu couldn't move, so he could only bar his teeth and roar!

But you can't move, what's the use of just shouting?

Mu Ling winked at Brother Xiang, and the two of them stood on the left and right, taking advantage of Pin Yahu's weakness to kill him. Taking advantage of the fact that Pin Yahu couldn't turn around, they quickly put a ring on him from behind!

Pin Yahu didn't like the circle very much. He shook his head hard, trying to get rid of it.

It wanted to use its two front paws to scrape off the circle, but its two front paws were harder than sticks and not flexible at all, so they slipped as soon as it scraped.

After struggling for a long time and getting nothing, Pin Yahu, feeling abused, could only vent his anger on the two humans, baring his teeth at them frequently, his brown eyes filled with rage.

Mu Ling and Xiang Bie saw that it was too stressed, so they had to leave the room and look at it through the one-way glass.

Wei Li came over and muttered, "Looking at its temper, it really seems to get along well with the flat-headed brother. No wonder the flat-headed brother is worried about it and made a special trip to see it."

Xiang Bie frowned: "They are not necessarily friends."

At least from that video alone, it is impossible to tell whether the butcher came to seek revenge or to look for his relatives.

Mu Ling pondered for a moment and said, "The butcher and Doubao know each other, and the butcher and Meihua know each other. So, maybe Meihua and Doubao know each other too? Let's go ask Meihua."

Wei Li looked confused: "Ah? Why do you ask?"

Mu Ling didn't answer and went straight to Meihua's room.

Meihua was feeding the wolf cub milk at this time. After Mu Ling came in, she sat over and gently stroked the giant wolf's head.

Meihua obediently let Mu Ling stroke it. During this time, it had become very familiar with Mu Ling.

Mu Ling waited until Meihua finished feeding the child, then she touched the child again, and then ran away with the wolf cub in her arms!

Meihua: "..."

Meihua: "???"

Meihua was shocked. She never expected that Mu Ling, who had retired from the underworld, would return to the world again!

It then quickly chased after Mu Ling, wanting to bring the wolf cub back.

Mu Ling protected the wolf cub and ran very quickly all the way to the outside of Pin Yahu's room.

She opened the door and stood there.

Pin Yahu was furious that this human dared to come back, and roared at her again: "Roar! Roar!"

At this time, Meihua also chased after him. When Meihua heard the tiger roar, she immediately became very nervous. When she came over and saw Doubao, the black fur of the chasing wind mother wolf immediately seemed to explode. Then, she immediately lowered her upper body and roared at Doubao from a distance: "Ah!"

Doubao was originally roaring at Mu Ling, but now he is roaring directly at Meihua!

In the end, Meihua was a little afraid of Doubao.

It tucked its tail between its legs and hid beside Mu Ling, then raised its head to lick its own wolf cub.

Mu Ling let it lick her, so Meihua took the wolf cub in her mouth and ran away. While running, she still tucked her tail between her legs, which showed that she was really afraid of Doubao.

Mu Ling looked at Meihua's back, then turned to look at Pin Yahu who was still angry in the room.

After a while, Mu Ling suddenly turned and looked at Brother Xiang.

Brother Xiang looked at her, nodded, and went to the side to make a call.

Wei Li looked at this one, then at that one, and was stunned: "What's wrong? What's wrong? Did you guys talk just now? Why didn't I hear anything?"

Mu Ling said: "No words, but we all thought of one thing."

Wei Li asked, "What's the matter?"

"It seems the culprit who caused Meihua's difficult labor hasn't been found yet."

Xiang Bie quickly finished his call. He put down his laptop and walked back, saying to Mu Ling, "Nina said she didn't see clearly who scared Meihua, but Doubao did appear nearby during that time."

Then Xiang Bie added: "When I checked before, I also found traces of Doubao over there, but..."

Mu Ling continued: "But you didn't think it would be bean buns, right?"

Xiang Bie frowned and said nothing.

No one suspected Doubao, the main reason being that Doubao often wandered between the inner and outer areas.

Doubao is the only war beast that has not entered the service area but is often photographed by tourists.

Doubao is not very averse to the flow of people, and unlike other war beasts who like to occupy a habitat alone and endure the pain caused by nerve damage alone, Doubao also doesn't like to endure the pain without any effort.

Doubao doesn't like hunting or being alone. He likes to eat ready-made food. In order to eat ready-made food, he will appear at the first feeding point at the junction of the inner and outer circles every three days, because he wants to eat the first batch of the freshest food.

After eating, it would stroll around nearby. Because it strolled around frequently, the keepers and tourists would often see it, but no one had ever associated it with beautiful flowers.

Everyone subconsciously thought that no matter how aloof Doubao was, he was, after all, an injured and retired war beast, and he would not enthusiastically approach other animals.

But judging from Meihua's reaction just now, Meihua and Doubao obviously know each other, and Meihua is very afraid of it.

Mu Ling felt that she was very close to the truth. She asked Xiang Bie, "Brother Xiang, do you know where Doubao lives?"

Although Doubao likes to stroll around there, that area is not its real habitat, it is just a canteen.

Xiang Bie said: "I know."

Mu Ling said, "Then please go to its habitat and see if you can find anything else."

Xiang Bie said "hmm" and turned away.

After Xiang Bie left, Mu Ling and Brother Wei fed the war beasts and gave them medicine. She also had to patch up Doubao's bandages.

Patching bandages is a troublesome thing, and Doubao almost scolded Mu Ling's back until it was swollen.

Mu Ling didn't dare to force it, fearing that it would get too excited and break other wounds.

After thinking for a while, Mu Ling finally gave one third of Meihua's premium confinement meals to the dog, hoping to coax it.

The big rice bowl was filled with confinement meals, animal food, canned food, and a large portion of broth.

Mu Ling pushed the rice bowl over with a stick and planned to get up and leave. She felt that Doubao would definitely not eat if she was here.

She still hasn't taken the stick back...

"Awoo awoo awoo!" The big tiger, whose fur was darker in color, not golden but a little orange, had already started chewing his breakfast in big mouthfuls.

Mu Ling: “…”

Doubao chewed two big mouthfuls of meat, licked some broth, and gobbled it up in no time, as if he had never eaten in eight lifetimes. In less than two minutes, only half of the bowl was left.

Mu Ling: “?”

Mu Ling was stunned: "Oh my god, you have a really good appetite. Among all these war beasts, you are the one who cares least about eating."

Other war beasts need to be coaxed and persuaded to eat, and when they encounter an anorexic one, Mu Ling really can't sleep all night long, and she dreams about how to get the child to eat a few more bites.

As a result, I showed off two servings of bean buns!

"You love eating so much, you must not have any psychological burden, right? Your damage value must be very low, right?" Mu Ling took advantage of Doubao's good mood, and as soon as it finished eating, she immediately bandaged it and measured its damage value.

Mu Ling has already bought the most advanced instrument for testing damage values. It comes with a handheld device, so the war beast no longer needs to sit on a mat and can be tested by sticking to the wires.

Just place the handheld device directly on the war beast's butt and it will be done with one click.

I have to say, there is a reason why it is expensive.

After the test, it takes an hour for the results to come out.

During this hour, other people also arrived. Nurse Xiaoyan came to work, and other employees also started to replenish stocks on the second floor.

An hour later, Mu Ling looked at Doubao's test report and was stunned: "77%, not low."

The damage value is obviously not low, but it seems that Doubao is indeed a bit heartless and loves to eat more than Jiuzhen Pig.

Mu Ling was a little dazed. "Even though I'm seriously ill, I can't miss a meal. Otherwise, how can I beat the disease if I don't eat enough?"

-

Xiang Bie came back two hours later.

At this time, Mu Ling was leading people to fill the hole dug by the butcher last night. After filling the hole, they pulled out a shrub, cut the wooden fence at that place, and directly opened it into a movable door.

This way, next time the butcher comes, he won’t have to dig a pit to get in, he can just come in through the door.

Mu Ling said she was afraid of the dark society, but she couldn't do anything like turning animals away.

Seeing Brother Xiang coming back, Mu Ling asked everyone to rest after finishing their work, and then followed Brother Xiang to the other side to ask about the situation: "How is it, did you find anything?"

Xiang Bie took out the two bags and threw them on the ground.

Mu Ling looked at the two bags and was stunned: "What is this?"

Xiang Bie pointed to the bag on the left and said, "We found it in Doubao's cave. In order to protect the three female wolves, we put some extra food near the wolf pack's habitat two months ago. After the births, we also put some nourishing milk-producing food. But Doubao stole a lot of it."

Mu Ling: “…”

Xiang Bie pointed to another bag and said, "I went to check today and found that the cave where Doubao lived is very close to the valley we found last night. There is a valley on the left and a cave on the right. This was found above the valley. It is a dead chicken with very few mosquitoes and insects around it. It is not rotten and must have died no more than half a day ago. Look at the wound on the chicken's neck."

Mu Ling carefully looked at the wound on the chicken's neck, and then was stunned: "Was it bitten to death by a butcher?"

Black-clawed badgers like to eat poisonous snakes. They eat them like eating spicy strips. A large beast can kill a chicken, but a black-clawed badger will bite the chicken's neck in half as if it were a spicy strip. The wound left by the bite is very recognizable.

Xiang Bie said: "When we took Doubao away last night, the butcher should have been nearby."

Mu Ling looked at the dead chicken and speculated: "Not only is it nearby, it might have gone there to deliver food to them."

Looking at the two bags and combining it with last night's video, Mu Ling roughly knew what was going on.

Doubao loves to eat. When he discovered that there were a lot of delicious food near the wolf pack’s habitat, he began to steal people’s nutritional supplements.

As he kept stealing, he was naturally discovered by the wolves.

But it is a tiger, a war beast. The wolf pack is composed of ordinary wolves, without a leader, so they naturally dare not provoke it and are oppressed and exploited by it.

Judging from how afraid Meihua was of Doubao, Doubao probably didn't just steal the food, but instead robbed someone else's pregnancy-preserving meal.

On the day when Meihua gave birth prematurely, it was most likely Doubao that she saw. If it weren't for the fear she had developed over a long period of time, Meihua wouldn't have been so scared that she slid down the hillside when she saw the animal in the bushes.

When Doubao saw Meihua rolling down the hillside, he was probably scared and ran away.

Because it ran so fast, Nina didn't notice it.

But later, Doubao was still unwilling to give up and came back to continue stealing food. This behavior of stealing food even continued after Geyagena gave birth.

Look at the milk-producing meal in that bag. Isn’t this the stolen baby-raising meal from Geyagna?

Mu Ling almost died of anger when she thought of this.

"It's quite clever. It's been committing crimes for so long, and no one has noticed it!"

Xiang Bie said: "It is a war beast after all."

Mu Ling was even more furious: "What little counter-reconnaissance skills I learned were all used for cheating!"

Xiang Bie said: "Thieves are not to be feared, but thieves with culture are to be feared."

Mu Ling: “…”

Xiang Bie added: "But it got its comeuppance."

Mu Ling looked at the bag of dead chickens again: "Yes, it got its comeuppance. It met the butcher."

Doubao ate the food of the wolf pack every day. After a long time, the wolf pack tolerated it, but there was a man who hated evil and could not tolerate it.

Xiang Bie said: "There are still many footprints on the muddy ground. Doubao must have been chased by the butcher and fell into the valley by accident."

Then what happens next is easy to guess.

Doubao fell down the valley. Tayun was flying on the mountain for fun. While flying, he smelled the scent of blood. He looked over there and saw that the B-level Yahu was injured. He came back to find help and found Lightning. Then he took Lightning into the ditch.

Lightning also fell into the valley, but was not injured. After all, S-level is more agile. But the Butcher was probably also at the foot of the mountain at that time. The Butcher was also afraid that Doubao would die, so he was probably accompanying Doubao. However, Stepping Cloud thought that the Butcher wanted to hurt Doubao, so he attacked the Butcher. The Butcher slapped him, and Stepping Cloud's wings could no longer fly.

After that, the butcher didn't want to fight with them, so he ran away. However, at night, the butcher still caught the chickens and fed them.

But by then, Mu Ling and the others had already taken the animals away from the valley.

So the butcher followed him all the way.

After arriving at the park, the butcher went straight to the bean buns.

Now that I think about it, it was hitting the glass and digging the hole because it probably saw Doubao was wrapped like a mummy and thought it was dead, so it wanted to go in and take a look.

Later, Meihua came out to give the butcher a chicken, and the butcher left.

Because the butcher knew that there were too many animals here, if he wanted to see Doubao, he had to knock down all the animals, but he didn't want to beat Meihua, so he left.

Judging from Meihua's action of giving a chicken to the butcher, she had received favors from the butcher before.

I guess Doubao was caught stealing by the butcher before, and the butcher helped the wolves drive Doubao away.

Thinking of this, Mu Ling sighed again: "Although it looks a bit reckless, our butcher is quite good at dealing with badger."

Xiang Bie frowned at this time: "It's too rational."

The behavior of protecting pregnant and lactating female wolves is not the habit of the Black Claw Badger itself. "Protecting weak animals" is taught in the War Beast Academy.

However, the war beasts whose nerve damage was too severe had long forgotten these acquired knowledge. Even if they still remembered, their thinking would definitely not be as clear as the butcher's.

Mu Ling understood what Brother Xiang meant. She was silent for a moment, then said, "Come to think of it, aren't Black Claw Badgers immune to all poisons? The venom of venomous snakes and scorpions can't hurt them. So, wouldn't the damage done to them by the alien virus be limited as well?"

The war beast's talent can resist the toxins of alien beasts. In other words, even if the war beast is bitten by an alien beast, it will not be infected. This is the same as humans. Even if humans are bitten, they will not be infected. It's just that the nerves of the war beast are not as strong as those of humans. If the war beast is injured too badly, the alien beast virus enters the brain and destroys the nerve layer. Even if the toxin is metabolized quickly, the damage to the nerve layer is irreversible.

That's why the war beast suffered nerve damage and was forced to retire.

What Mu Ling meant now was that she believed that the Black Claw Badger was injured very shallowly in the nerve layer from the beginning, so even if it was retired due to the same nerve damage, its condition was not serious, so these operations were carried out.

Xiang Bie pondered for a moment and shook his head: "I've never heard of this before."

There are more than one retired Black Claw Badger, the Butcher. If the degree of damage to the Black Claw Badger is different from that of other war beasts, the Veterinary Association would not be unaware of it.

Mu Ling hesitated for a moment and said, "We need to think of a way to trick the butcher over and measure its damage value."

Xiang Bie looked at her: "How to lie?"

"Won't it protect pregnant women?" Mu Ling touched her belly at this time: "If you say I'm pretending to be a pregnant woman, will it believe it?"

Category: “?”
