Chapter 113

"I don't think so..."

Xiang Bie's expression was a bit hard to describe. He looked at Mu Ling's eager face and tried to dispel her unrealistic idea: "Pregnancy will affect hormones, how can you influence it?"

Mu Ling held her head high and said, "As everyone knows, I'm studying pharmaceutical research!"

Category: "..."

Mu Ling saw Brother Xiang open his mouth, looking as if he wanted to refute but didn't know how. She chuckled and said, "I was just kidding."

Xiang Bie was stunned.

Mu Ling said: "How could I take medicine carelessly?"

Even if it was a medicine she made herself, what if it conflicted with the medicine she was already taking? Mu Ling couldn't take such a big risk.

Mu Ling said, "Furthermore, we can't be sure whether the Butcher is truly being kind to Meihua and the others out of a desire to protect the vulnerable. Didn't you also say that he's too rational? For a war beast with damaged nerves, this kind of rationality is unreasonable."

Xiang Bie hesitated for a moment and said nothing more.

Mu Ling said: "Let me think about it again."

She always felt that she had overlooked something, but she couldn't put her finger on it.

-

The matter of the Black Claw Badger was put aside for the time being. However, with the business performance of the second service area during this period, Mu Ling officially confirmed that the number of places for another thousand tourists could be increased.

So, Mu Ling chose a sunny afternoon and started a live broadcast.

The sudden start of the live broadcast caught the fans off guard.

[??? A sudden attack? No live broadcast announcement?]

[Ahhh, I was able to watch it first even without a preview. My wife and I are really in sync!]

You finally started live streaming! All you do are those two or three minute videos all day long, just to feed the beggars. I want live streaming, I want to watch super long live streaming!

[Ahhh, wife, wife, wife, you came to see me, you finally remembered me, woooooo! ]

[Look whose live stream I caught! I knew there would be a surprise if I skipped my nap!]

[Hahaha, surprise show! What's on today? Hey, where is this? I don't see any animals!]

Although the show has just started, after the first minute, there are more and more comments following it.

After Mu Ling adjusted the camera, she looked at the comments and saw this one. She replied, "I'm in the hovercraft here. I'm about to follow two keepers to feed the aquatic animals. We have many land animals in our park, but we also have aquatic animals. I think you rarely see our aquatic animals. Today, I'll show you an immersive way to feed them."

[Is there no war beast today? I want to see war beast! ]

I want to see the war beasts! I heard there's a gorilla in the park, but the gorilla room is closed. Can I see the gorilla?

[Wow, please enjoy the pure moonlight. My white moonlight will always be white moonlight!]

Mu Ling smiled and said, "Let's show you how we feed the aquatic animals first, and then we'll go back to the service area and pat the war beasts."

[Great! I love watching Duobo!]

[It seems that today's live broadcast will be quite long, great! ]

Mu Ling then turned the camera to the bottom. She was now sitting in the middle of the feeding truck. The breeder in front of her was driving, and the breeder behind her would be responsible for feeding the animals soon. She was paddling in the middle and took some pictures of the scenery outside the car for everyone.

"Look, this is a tributary in the south of our jungle. We call it the IU34d tributary. Isn't it beautiful when viewed from the sky?"

In the camera, the river below stretches for a long time, with dense trees on both sides of the river, and at the end of the river is a gurgling and splashing waterfall.

The waterfall is not particularly magnificent, but the white water flowing down the river, combined with the rugged rocks and grassy vegetation below the river, creates a natural and magnificent landscape.

[Wow, it's really beautiful! It's a wild beauty that has never been artificially excavated!]

[Didn’t I choose the water route when I went to Beek Zoo last time? Why didn’t I see this waterfall?]

[This is obviously the inner area, so you should only visit the outer area.]

I feel like this waterfall is just a small attraction. When the inner area is opened, can we make it a photo spot?

When Mu Ling saw this comment, she smiled and said, "Hahaha, I don't know yet. We can only wait and see while we build. However, we will also adopt everyone's opinions appropriately. However, there is more than one waterfall in our mountain. We have many waterfalls. I will show you more when I have time."

[You said so! You'll take me to see more!]

[You sign a document and swear that you will show us!]

[Everyone, please stop forcing her. I believe her. Woohoo! My wife won't lie to me!]

"Director, we're almost there."

At this time, the breeder in front said.

Mu Ling said to the audience, "It's time to start feeding."

As Mu Ling finished speaking, the car began to slowly descend. When it finally landed above the river, it changed from hovering mode to diving mode.

In diving mode, the car slowly sinks to the bottom of the water.

Only when they reached the bottom of the water did the audience discover that the riverbed was so clear.

Mu Ling said at the right moment, "The river water in the Beak Jungle has very little sand, so the water quality is quite clear. When you look at it from the outside, because the river is flowing and flowing quite turbulently, it is not very obvious, but once you enter the river, it is more obvious. Look, the riverbed is beautiful, isn't it?"

[Wow, it's really beautiful! Look, there are also silver algae! ]

The water plants are also very beautiful.

[I see a school of fish in the upper left corner. What kind of fish is this? They're swimming over there!]

[Such a beautiful riverbed environment is not open to the public. Director, you don't want to make money, right?]

Mu Ling looked at the comments and said helplessly, "Why wouldn't I make money? But we actually have relatively few aquatic animals. There are less than ten in the entire park. The fish you see now aren't native to our park. They're wild fish that have always lived in this river. The mountains can block them, but you can't block the river. Even if we install a grid on the riverbed, some small fish and fish eggs will still get in. Over time, there will be quite a few wild fish here."

[Ah, are they all wild fish? Do they need to be fed?]

"Although they are wild fish, we still need to feed them regularly. This feeding is not to fill them up, but to add some anti-disease drugs to the fish food to increase their resistance and reduce fish diseases. We also need to distribute exotic animal vaccines throughout the river every six months. This is actually a kind of water conservation. Only by ensuring the health of these fish can we ensure the water quality of our river. After all, the animals in the mountains all drink water from the same mother river."

The audience understood.

Indeed, water security is more important than anything else.

At this time, the audience also saw how the fish were fed.

After entering the water, a pipe extended from the back of the car. The breeder in the back seat controlled the direction of the pipe. He pressed a button, and the whole box of fish food that had been loaded in the back compartment of the car started to spray out of the pipe in small streams with a "boom".

Mu Ling specially adjusted the camera to show the audience a close-up of the fish food spraying.

The audience found it a little funny.

[It seems like exhaust fumes are being sprayed.]

[Look, look, there are fish coming to eat the food! ]

【Wow, this looks so healing.】

"So am I the only one still calculating the cost? With such a large river area, feeding like this every day, how much does it cost?"

[It's definitely not feeding every day. This is called feeding, but it's actually feeding medicine. Can you take medicine every day? The most you can do is once a week, or once every two weeks.]

[Feeding once every two weeks seems too expensive, mainly because the river is so vast. I think it would cost several tons of fish food and medicine to feed them once.]

There's no other way. Maintenance is the most expensive thing. The mountains and the water need to be maintained. If we don't do it well, the animals won't be comfortable, and that would be animal abuse.

【I love you, I like you, and I’m sending you a small gift. 】

Mu Ling was still watching the keeper spraying fish food in the background when she casually glanced at the livestream room and noticed everyone had suddenly started sending gifts. She'd been sending gifts since the show started, but not very often. But now, wow, the endless stream of gift effects was practically blinding her.

Mu Ling quickly thanked them: "Thank you for your support, but minors please don't send gifts. If you want to show your support, you can send the free little stars... Ah, do you all like looking at the scenery at the bottom of the river so much? I said we would go back after spreading this load of grain, so let's spread another load!"

As Mu Ling spoke, she opened a gift permission system, limiting the amount of gifts each person could give, to prevent everyone from giving too many gifts. Then she asked the two keepers which tributary to go to after the car had finished spreading the gifts.

The keeper mentioned the name of a tributary. Mu Ling thought that there seemed to be a Class B tortoise living in that river, so she told the news to netizens.

Netizens were still dissatisfied with her opening the permissions, but when they heard that they could see B-level war beasts that they had never seen before, they immediately became happy again.

From one side of the river to the other side, they soon ran out of fish food in their car. The driver changed the car from diving mode to suspension mode, and then the car returned to the sky and drove all the way down the mountain to return to the first service area to replenish fish food.

As the car drove back, Mu Ling continued to show the audience the scenery below. On the way, they also passed an animal attraction on the water tour line. Looking down from above, they also saw the shuttle bus parked on the river beach. Outside the bus, tourists were taking pictures everywhere.

Mu Ling was telling the live broadcast room which animal spot this was, but at this moment, there was a sudden noise below. Mu Ling looked closely and saw that a tourist had accidentally fallen into the river!

The tourists on the shore were all shouting, and the keepers, tour guides and other staff were also very anxious.

Mu Ling was also shocked when she saw it, and immediately said to the driver: "Hurry up and get down to save him!"

The driver hurriedly lowered the car, but by the time they reached the surface, the tourist had already been completely submerged in the river.

Ahhhh, he won't drown, will he?

【Oh my god, how could this happen so suddenly! 】

[No, there's no guardrail by the river. How could someone fall into the river?]

[Yes, look, isn't there a platform made of rocks? It's quite high, and a normal person shouldn't be able to fall off. What's going on?!]

[Stop talking about this, hurry up and save people, I'm so scared! ]

Not to mention the netizens who were scared, Mu Ling was also sweating with fear. The hovercraft was a step too late and failed to rescue the tourist who fell into the water. Mu Ling immediately asked the driver to switch the car back to diving mode and go down to the bottom of the river to rescue people!

The car soon sank into the riverbed.

The river bottom was clear and everything was visible, but the three of them looked at the bottom for a long time and could not see the person who had sunk before.

[Huh? Where's everyone?]

[Was it because the river was too fast and it washed away? ]

[It's not that urgent. It's not a flood, just a normal flow of water!]

[But the riverbed is so small, there's no one there? ]

Mu Ling was completely stunned, but the zookeeper in the back seat suddenly noticed something and pointed in a direction, saying, "Director, look over there!"

Mu Ling and the audience looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a patch of water plants over there. The water plants over there were obviously a little turbid, as if someone had just passed by.

Mu Ling frowned, a little suspicious, but still said: "Let's go and take a look."

The driver turned the car around and headed towards the bushes.

At the same time, the barrage began to become suspicious.

【Why are you going there? 】

"Huh? Why couldn't it have gone there? It must have drifted over there when it fell into the water."

[How to float? That's upstream, and floating is also floating downstream. ]

[Fuck, that does sound a bit weird!]

The driver drove the car towards the water plants upstream, but did not see anyone there. However, there was actually a tributary in front of the water plants.

Now it is very clear where the person went. Obviously, he could only have gone to that tributary. However, it is really strange because that tributary also flows upstream. How could someone go upstream instead of downstream after falling into the water?

Mu Ling said: "Chase!"

The two keepers naturally felt something was wrong and immediately chased over there with stern faces.

At the same time, on the riverbank.

Because of the sudden accident, some staff members were contacting their superiors to explain the situation, while other staff members were comforting the tourists, leading them inside, and not allowing anyone to approach the stone platform.

Over forty tourists were now discussing the matter. Among them, five people, two men and three women, exchanged glances. Then, they retreated outside the crowd and whispered, "What's going on with that car?"

"How come a hovercraft just happened to go down? Are we still going according to plan?"

"Press! Like we agreed before, make a scene. The bigger the better. As the higher-ups said, our goal this time is to stop this zoo from operating. It must be closed!"

"clear."

After a few people dispersed, they quickly blended back into the crowd and began to lead the conversation.

"I heard that someone fell into the water here before. How come there hasn't been any protection for so long?"

"That stone platform is really rough. How could it possibly stop people from coming? I suddenly feel that this environment is not worth the 299 yuan ticket. I feel like I've been cheated."

"Actually, I chose the water route because I can take the suspended lane here, which is faster. To be honest, I just wanted to see the war beasts, but I was forced to see these ordinary animals. It's okay to see them, but the environment is so bad. Now someone got hurt. If they can't even guarantee basic personal safety, this kind of zoo should be reported."

Premeditated remarks spread among the crowd. Some tourists did not like to cause trouble and just listened without saying anything, while some tourists were very straightforward and refuted immediately.

"Someone fell into the water before. When? How come I didn't know about it? Is there any news? Let me see."

"Rough? Man, a wildlife park is meant to restore the wild environment to the greatest extent possible, and this stone platform is very high, how could it not block people? Plus, with a one-day all-inclusive wildlife park tour, you can also visit the war beasts, so how is 299 expensive? Some wildlife parks have cheap tickets, only a few dozen yuan, but after entering, you have to pay a separate fee for entering each area. In the end, it costs a total of three or four hundred yuan. There is no animal that has a separate fee in the Beak Zoo."

"That's right. And why do you have to buy tickets at full price? You can get coupons. The coupons are 239 per ticket, and you can get another 30 off if you use a student card."

"The same goes for the senior citizen card. The senior citizen card can save another fifty. There are many money-saving guides on the Star Internet. Can't we use the search to our advantage?"

Seeing that the wind was turning towards the Piccolo Zoo, the troublemaker said hurriedly: "But this behavior of binding ordinary animals to visit is still disgusting. I just want to see the war beasts, okay."

Others: “?”

This made even the silent people speak up: "Is there a possibility that you only want to see the war beasts? That's your business. If you really don't want to visit, you can book a car yourself. Then you can see whatever you want. The free shuttle bus will of course stop at every attraction. Just because you don't want to see it doesn't mean others don't want to see it."

The troublemakers were refuted one by one, and in the end, the remaining tourists actually formed a group. The more they criticized, the more united they became.

Seeing that this wasn't working, the five people who had caused the trouble brought the topic back to the person who fell into the water: "But this time someone died. If the zoo hadn't failed to protect its visitors, how could this have happened?"

Speaking of the person who fell into the water, the expressions of the tourists became serious again. They had seen a car sinking to rescue people before, but it has been so long, why hasn’t it come out yet? Could something really have happened?

-

Meanwhile, underwater.

Mu Ling chased along the upstream of the tributary for a while and saw a hazy figure in front of him, rushing upstream.

Yes, gallop, gallop in the river!

Netizens also saw this scene and were shocked.

What's going on? Is that the person who fell into the water? Why is he swimming?

[No, isn't he drowning? But he's wearing an oxygen mask, and the part sticking out of his backpack must be an oxygen tank, right? And what are those under his feet? Electric flippers. Is this drowning or snorkeling?]

[This isn't the person who was drowning, it's someone else! ]

[It's him! The livestream has a replay function. If you go back and watch, the clothes and backpack are exactly the same! It's the same person!]

[Then he wasn't drowning, what was he going to do?]

Mu Ling also wanted to know what this man wanted to do. She said to the driver with a cold face: "Chase him and bring him ashore."

The driver immediately stepped on the accelerator, but compared to the man's electric fins that were like a speedboat, their diving car was much slower. Their diving car was a modified special feeding car, and its purpose was to go to the bottom of the river to feed the fish. If the diving car drove too fast at the bottom of the river, it would scare the creatures at the bottom of the river, so the speed was controlled from the beginning.

The young man swimming in front obviously didn't realize that he was being chased.

The head-mounted oxygen device blocked his hearing and part of his vision. He swam very fast with his fins, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed forward more than ten meters.

I really want to laugh now. Someone pretended to drown in public and then snorkeled at the bottom of the river. Is this an attempt to blackmail the zoo, or is there some other motive?

[No matter what his purpose is, I recorded the screen anyway! ]

[Luckily, we were livestreaming and happened to catch it. Director, don't worry, we're all your witnesses! There's something fishy about this guy! He's not a genuine tourist!]

Mu Ling didn't have time to read the comments from netizens because she suddenly discovered something else.

I saw a vague black figure suddenly looming over the head of the man swimming in front.

Mu Ling's expression changed when she saw that figure.

The netizens in the live broadcast room were also shocked.

[Crocodile, is it a crocodile?! That idiot swam into the crocodile habitat!]

[I'm numb, I'm numb. Even though he's asking for it, if he really dies here, what will happen to Piccolo Zoo?!]

[Ahhh! The crocodile is getting closer and closer! That idiot hasn't noticed yet!]

"Go over there quickly, drive over there quickly!" Mu Ling's heart almost jumped into her throat. She grabbed the back of the seat in front of her tightly and urged the driver anxiously.

The driver also wanted to hurry up, but he really couldn't catch up.

"Ding ding, ding ding--" Although the car couldn't catch up, the driver immediately honked the horn, trying to use the muffled horn sound to remind the young man to swim back quickly.

The young man in front heard the horn and was stunned for a moment. His body stopped in place. He looked back and saw that there was a car chasing him from behind. He froze.

The man didn't know how long he had been chased, but because of this sudden change, he was a little overwhelmed. Just when he didn't know what to do, the crocodile had already approached his back from above.

"Beep beep! Beep beep!" The driver honked the horn frantically to remind him that there was a crocodile behind him!

But the young man obviously did not understand the meaning. He just thought that the other party was urging him to go ashore.

The young man became even stiffer, and then the next second, in full view of everyone, he suddenly made a move.

He kicked off his electric fins, took off his oxygen helmet, removed the oxygen tank on his back, and after throwing away all the evidence, he began to struggle frantically, pretending to be about to drown.

[Fuck, this is a scam right in front of me!]

[If I'm caught, I'll just throw the equipment away. Even if I'm accused of ill intentions, I can feign innocence and say, "I know nothing. Your park says these things are mine. Do you have any evidence?" Are you really not deliberately framing me to shirk responsibility? Damn it! Isn't this just putting the blame on someone else?]

He never dreamed we were live streaming! We saw it all!

【Ahhhhh crocodile crocodile crocodile! 】

As the young man confidently threw away all his equipment, the next second, the crocodile suddenly opened its bloody mouth.

At this time, the man finally realized something. He turned his head and looked behind him. Then he was so scared that he started moving his hands and feet and tried to run away.

But without the electric flippers, there was no way he could match the crocodile's speed.

It was too late. The crocodile closed its mouth and swallowed his head completely into its mouth!

Mu Ling: “!!!”

audience:【! ! ! ! ! ! 】

Bright red blood mixed with river water spread around the man. Then, the crocodile started to swim towards the shore, holding the prey it had just caught.

"Go up, go up quickly!" Mu Ling urged again.

The driver drove the car upwards until it was out of the water, and after switching back to suspension mode, the car finally sped up.

Meanwhile, the crocodile holding the human had already come ashore, and judging by its posture, it seemed to be planning to have a feast on the shore. Mu Ling and his companions' car stopped not far from the crocodile. After landing, Mu Ling immediately got out, grabbing the tranquilizer gun, and the two keepers behind her quickly followed.

Three tranquilizer guns were loaded at the same time.

At this time——

"Hah-tui!"

The giant crocodile spat out the human in its mouth.

The young man's entire face and head were now covered with the crocodile's smelly saliva.

The crocodile lay on the shore, looking at the human it had rescued. It slapped the water with its thick crocodile tail, then sank its body a little deeper into the puddle and swallowed a few mouthfuls of water, as if it was disgusted with the human blood in its mouth and wanted to rinse its mouth.

At this moment, the huge crocodile heard the footsteps.

Noticing three humans approaching from a distance, the crocodile narrowed its brown vertical pupils, and then it remained motionless with only half of its back skin exposed above the water.

As soon as the two keepers came over, they grabbed the young man's hind legs, pulled him away from the crocodile, and then checked his smelly body.

After the inspection, the two keepers breathed a sigh of relief: "Director, the person is still alive, but his face must have been scratched by the crocodile's teeth while struggling, so he suffered some minor skin injuries."

Mu Ling glanced at the man and saw that he might have choked on the water and was lying on the ground coughing desperately.

She nodded and looked back at the huge crocodile.

He frowned, as if he was unsure. After a while, Mu Ling asked the crocodile, "Guard?"

The four-year-old B-class iron crocodile "Guard" was motionless.

The back of the Iron Crocodile Lai Lai Baba's body is very similar to the stone next to it. The Iron Crocodile firmly believes that as long as it does not move, humans will not be able to find it.

Mu Ling stared at the Iron Crocodile's position accurately and asked softly, "You found someone in the river, so you came here to rescue them, right? Thank you, you really helped me a lot!"

Mu Ling said this, then turned back and said to the two keepers, "Take him back to me! Call the police!"

As the four humans left, the hovercraft gradually moved away.

The Iron Crocodile was very proud to stay where he was.

It only knows how to install stones, it is professional!

Wagging its tail happily, the big crocodile returned to the water and went swimming again.
