Chapter 121

The iron bear is an evolved species of the giant panda. Although it looks exactly like the giant panda, its body size and the sharpness of its teeth and claws are incomparable to the giant panda.

The bite force of an adult iron bear is enough to chew iron into slag, so they are called iron bears.

When Mu Ling heard that an S-rank Iron Bear was dying, she couldn't help but ask, "Is it nerve damage?"

The driver shook his head. "Actually, Nini's damage isn't that high. I heard from the doctors at the veterinary station that her damage isn't even high enough to warrant retirement. Normally, a 40% damage rating would require retirement, but Nini's is only 30%, and it hasn't risen. But for some reason, her health is so poor. She's been critically ill several times, and each time she was saved from the brink of death, only to have another accident happen again. Sigh..."

The driver sighed, but Mu Ling was surprised: "The damage value is so low, but it's so serious... Have you checked the detector?"

driver:"……"

The driver was speechless. "Of course we've verified it again and again, and changed the equipment several times, but the results remain the same, the symptoms are unknown, and the condition is getting worse..."

As they talked, they arrived at the golden monkey house in a short while.

The driver asked them if they wanted to go and take a look. Mu Ling thought, since we are here, we might as well take a look.

She and Xiang Bie got off the car and went to the venue to mingle with other tourists, checked in, took photos, and were about to buy a bag of snacks for feeding and sprinkle some in when they heard the sound of the ambulance behind them again.

Mu Ling turned her head and saw that the two ambulances that had just passed by on the avenue were hurriedly coming back, and then disappeared around the corner like the wind.

Mu Ling couldn't help but mutter: "I hope Nini is okay..."

-

In fact, Nini has something big going on now.

In the car, two veterinarians were giving Nini first aid. They gave her several strong injections, but the vital signs showed that Tiexiong's heartbeat was still slowly weakening.

At this moment, the intercom in the car rang, and the voice of Director He, who was in charge of war beast matters in the park, came from the other end: "The operating room is ready here. How is Nini?"

The young veterinarian stroked the black and white bear's sparse hair and said solemnly, "The situation is not good. The vital signs are declining too quickly. It feels the same as before. Even if we forcibly save it this time, it will relapse later..."

The veterinarian was very realistic. This was not the first time Nini's condition had occurred. If it were an ordinary animal, and after so many rescue attempts it still could not be cured and could not resume normal life, then as veterinarians they would have to consider euthanasia.

But the war beast cannot be euthanized, so it can only continue to suffer torture again and again, prolonging this pain that will never end.

Director He didn't speak for a moment.

He is specifically responsible for the docking of war beasts, and he has seen countless poor war beasts.

"No matter what, we have to save them. Cheer up." Director He said seriously.

The older veterinarian patted the younger veterinarian on the shoulder and said to Director He on the other end, "We will do our best."

Ten minutes later, the speeding ambulance returned to the veterinary station.

The two-story veterinary station occupies a very large area on the east side of the park.

The ambulance drove to the door of the veterinary station. Accompanied by the cries of other injured animals in the station, the medical staff who had been waiting there immediately opened the door, carried out the unconscious and emaciated black and white bear, and hurriedly pushed it into the operating room.

Director He also helped push until the door of the operating room was closed. Then Director He stood outside and paced back and forth anxiously.

After a while, Director He's phone rang. He clicked it and saw it was the director, so he went outside to answer it: "Director..."

Director Tang on the other end of the line had obviously also received the news. He immediately asked about Nini's current condition. Director He smiled bitterly and said, "It's still the same as before, but it seems to be more serious this time. It got several injections on the way, and its drug resistance has increased."

Director Tang asked: "I heard that Nini seemed to stand up before she fell into a coma. Did she go to eat or drink water?"

Director He shook his head. "Neither. The food and water were on the other side. It just moved a few steps towards the stone wall. It must have been unconscious and wandering around."

Director Tang was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll come over now."

Director Tang did not come alone. He was accompanied by Producer Luo from Gulanxing TV Station and the TV station's cameraman.

Producer Luo has recently been seeking expert advice for a variety show about animal rescue. A few days ago, one of his director friends became familiar with the person in charge of the Maple Leaf Zoo because he rented a sea of flowers from the Zoo to shoot a commercial. With the help of this friend, Producer Luo got in touch with Director Tang of the Maple Leaf Zoo.

He came today to interview Director Tang, but they had just finished the interview for a while when they heard that something had happened to the war beast.

Producer Luo thought this was a rare opportunity and they also wanted to witness the rescue of the war beast with their own eyes. Director Tang hesitated for a moment, then agreed, so the two of them followed along.

Director He didn't know Producer Luo, but since the other party came with the director, he didn't ask much and just quickly explained Nini's current situation to the director.

"The operation has been going on for over half an hour, and we still don't know what exactly is going on inside."

Director Tang looked unhappy. After he walked in, he asked the nurse for Nini's rescue record.

After all, having worked with animals for half his life, Director Tang has some understanding of animal medicine.

After reading the records, Director Tang sighed heavily and said something similar to the young veterinarian: "If he doesn't recover, even if he's saved this time, there will be another one soon."

He only said this and stopped talking, and Director He also fell silent.

The veterinary station was very noisy. After filming these staff members, the cameraman moved the camera elsewhere to film other animals.

Just then, another little elk was brought in from outside the veterinary station.

The little elk originally came in a small transport truck, but when it saw the gate of the veterinary station, it immediately jumped off the truck, turned around and ran away.

The keeper and Deputy Director Liu quickly got out of the car to grab it. After forcibly dragging it into the veterinary station, they coaxed it, "It's okay, it's your fault for eating something that made you have diarrhea. We'll give it an injection, just one shot."

The caregiver from the veterinary station also came out to help, and soon the little elk was brought to the operating table, and its keeper also went over to explain the situation.

Deputy Director Liu was just passing by to help out. Seeing this, he was about to leave, but when he turned around, he saw the director and Director He there. He stepped forward and greeted them, "Director."

Director Tang nodded to Deputy Director Liu, and then looked at the light above the operating room in a not very good mood.

Deputy Director Liu also looked towards the operating room door and asked Director He next to him, "What's going on?"

Director He came over and whispered to him, "Nini is not feeling well again."

Upon hearing that it was the war beast Nini, Deputy Director Liu's expression became serious.

Director He then asked, "Why are you here? Aren't you in charge of arranging blind dates for Kuang Wang today? Is Kuang Wang okay?"

Arrogant is also a war beast and is under Director He's jurisdiction. When Director He saw Deputy Director Liu at the veterinary station, his first reaction was, "What's wrong with Arrogant?"

Deputy Director Liu waved his hand: "It's okay to be arrogant, the blind date went well and it's almost done..."

Director He was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "It's done? So quickly?"

Deputy Director Liu wasn't in the mood to dwell on Butcher's courtship tactics. He glanced at the operating room again and said, "Come to think of it, the one who came to have a blind date with Kuangwang today is from the Beak Zoo."

For a moment, the world was silent.

Director Tang turned and looked at Deputy Director Liu.

Director He looked at Deputy Director Liu in shock.

This arrogant blind date was arranged by a friend of Deputy Director Liu. Director He did not know the details, and Deputy Director Liu was responsible for the entire matter.

But Deputy Director Liu really never said that the person who came to have a blind date with Kuang Wang was actually from the Beak Zoo???

Director He immediately asked anxiously, "Beak Zoo? Is it really Beak Zoo? Who are the staff members who came? Are they the keepers of their war beast nursery?"

Director He is in charge of the war beasts, so he is naturally very knowledgeable about matters related to war beasts. He has watched a lot of videos of the Piccolo Zoo. Once he got to know something about the Piccolo Zoo, he naturally knew that the best group of war beast keepers in their park were the keepers of their war beast nursery.

Director He was full of expectations. Given Nini's current situation, they had invited staff from the Veterinary Association and the War Beast Center several times. They had proposed many plans, but none of them had been successful in implementation.

If the experts from Beek Zoo could come and take a look, maybe they could come up with some new ideas!

Director He looked at Deputy Director Liu with burning eyes.

But facing Director He's eager anticipation, Deputy Director Liu shook his head mercilessly: "No."

Director He was immediately disappointed.

Director Tang also lowered his eyes sadly.

Deputy Director Liu added: "It is their Director Mu who is here."

Director He: “…”

Director Tang: “…”

Director Tang was silent for a moment, then said to Deputy Director Liu in a serious tone, "You've been demoted for panting while talking!"

Deputy Director Liu: “?”

-

At the same time, on the other side of the park, outside the giant panda pavilion.

Mu Ling excitedly said to Brother Xiang, "It's almost there, it's almost here, it's finally my turn!"

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Giant Panda Pavilion was packed with people.

You need to queue up to enter the giant panda pavilion. Mu Ling and the others have been waiting in line for twenty minutes, and it’s finally their turn!

Just when Mu Ling was eager to try and had even turned on her camera, her laptop suddenly rang. She glanced at the caller ID, picked up the phone, and said crisply, "Hello, Deputy Director Liu?"

Fifteen minutes later.

Mu Ling and Xiang Bie were led by the driver to the veterinary station of Maple Leaf Zoo.

A group of people were already waiting for them at the entrance of the veterinary station. As soon as Mu Ling got out of the car, someone came up to shake her hand. "Hello, Director Mu. I'm the director of the War Beast Connection Department at Maple Leaf Zoo. My name is He. I'm sorry to have taken up your time."

Mu Ling quickly replied, "Hello, Director He, no delay, no delay, the war beast is the most important."

Deputy Director Liu then pulled Director He aside and introduced Mu Ling: "Director Mu, this is our Director Tang."

Mu Ling saw an old man with a smiling face, kind and gentle. Mu Ling hurriedly shook hands with Director Tang again: "Hello, Director Tang."

Director Tang smiled and said, "Director Mu, I've heard a lot about you. Let's go in and talk."

A group of people walked inside. During the walk, Xiang Bie noticed that someone was filming nearby. He frowned but said nothing in the end.

After they got inside, someone took out Nini's medical records, and Director He told Mu Ling about Nini's condition. Then they took out the expert diagnosis plan provided by the War Beast Center and the Veterinary Association for Mu Ling's reference.

Mu Ling looked at the pile of documents, flipped through them one by one, frowned and said, "I heard from the staff of the park before that Nini's damage value is not high, but her physical condition is getting worse and worse. This is the first time I have seen such a situation."

Director He said worriedly, "That's right. Nini was brought here a year ago. She was in very bad condition when she first arrived. But at the time, there were also war wolves and war lions living near the venue where she lived. We thought the retired war beasts were living too close to each other and were repelling each other, so we moved Nini here. But it didn't help. Her health has not been good since then."

Mu Ling looked at the medical records and said, "From what I've seen, it's mainly because the recovery hasn't caught up."

Director He said, "Nini is too exclusive. We used to mix medicine in her food, but after she discovered it once, she refused to eat, not even water. How could her body withstand this? We could only anesthetize her regularly and give her nutrient solution. But every time she woke up, she would get depressed when she smelled a strange smell around her. When she was depressed, she would hurt herself, such as climbing up a tree and falling down, or getting soaked in water and not being able to get out. In short, she made herself sick."

Deputy Director Liu also said, "In Nini's case, if there was a correct damage value, we would have a better idea of what to do. But the damage value is so low that we don't know what to do."

Mu Ling pondered, "The damage value is low, but the condition is not serious. Another possibility is that it's not nerve damage, but the animal's own depression, which is greater than the depressive reaction caused by nerve damage."

Director He nodded: "An expert from the Veterinary Association has also said so, and has given us a treatment plan. Take a look."

Mu Ling looked at the latest treatment plan and nodded: "It's well written and very comprehensive. Is it still useless?"

Director He shook his head.

Mu Ling frowned and looked at the plan again. This treatment plan not only includes the traditional treatment system of the Veterinary Association, but also incorporates many of Mu Ling's psychological treatment concepts. Targeted supplements were made based on Nini's situation. Logically, it should not fail.

Just as Mu Ling fell into deep thought, the lights in the operating room suddenly went out, and then the door opened.

Everyone outside the door looked over immediately, and producer Luo asked the cameraman to take a quick picture.

The huge Iron Bear was lying on a large trolley. When he was pushed out, there were many tubes inserted into his body. There was also a vital sign monitor next to him, which was recording Iron Bear's various physiological frequencies.

Tiexiong is still in a coma. Its whole body is very thin. Mu Ling never thought that a giant panda would be so thin. It seems to have no meat. Apart from bones, there is only a layer of rotten skin on the outside.

The leather was mottled, messy, and dirty, as if it would rot at any time.

Monokuma was pushed into a large ward.

Workers came in and out and began to sort out the pipes.

The doctors who performed the operation on Nini also saw Director Tang and Mu Ling. They were not surprised that Director Tang came, but...wasn't this Director Mu from the Beek Zoo? In the less than one hour of the operation, who was so powerful that he could invite this war beast expert from the God King Planet to their Ancient Blue Planet?

Mu Ling had been taken to the ward by Director Tang at this time. Mu Ling reached out and touched the black and white bear that had not yet woken up, then turned its eyelids, observed its features, and then whispered something to Director Tang.

Upon hearing this, Director Tang asked the doctors who were still in shock, "When will Nini wake up?"

A young doctor quickly replied: "Big, probably within half an hour."

Mu Ling then asked, "I'd like to ask if it would be stressed after waking up after being rescued before?"

The young veterinarian blushed and said quickly, "Yes, yes."

"So how did you deal with it?"

"Well, we'll leave before it wakes up and try not to leave any human smell in the room. We'll also spray some deodorizer."

Mu Ling paused.

It is impossible for deodorizers to completely eliminate the human smell in the room. Moreover, for war beasts with a keen sense of smell, this attempt to cover up the smell may only deepen their anxiety and fear, and make them think that this is a deliberate trap.

Mu Ling thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have any docile red pandas here? Or quiet golden monkeys? Or antelopes with strong smells."

Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what she meant.

Mu Ling explained, "Everyone should know that wild giant pandas have many companion animals, such as red pandas and golden monkeys. Although Iron Bear is not completely a giant panda, and captive giant pandas do not completely rely on this way of survival, for wild giant pandas, living in an ecological environment with other herbivores is still a coexistence model they prefer..."

At this point, Mu Ling added, "Rather than letting Nini face this unfamiliar and wary environment alone, it's better to find her some companions. Finding another giant panda will make her feel too big and threaten her. After all, giant pandas fight for territory. Finding a small companion animal like this will greatly reduce her sense of danger. Besides, Nini lived with other animals when she was at the War Beast Academy. She should feel more at ease with other animals around."

Deputy Director Liu pondered for a moment and felt that what Mu Ling said made sense, so he looked at Director Tang.

Director Tang was a man who trusted his subordinates. He nodded and said, "Go and prepare."

Mu Ling hurriedly said, "It must be docile and not aggressive. Nini has no deterrent power now, and she can't beat anyone."

Ten minutes later, the Red Panda Pavilion, Golden Monkey Pavilion, and Antelope Pavilion all rushed to send in their best-tempered little animals.

The red panda was very timid, its little body always curled up in the arms of its keeper mother. The golden monkey was a little curious, and although its arms were still around the keeper father's neck, its little head kept looking over here. The antelope was a baby antelope, and its mood was very stable, eating berries as it walked.

After putting them in the ward, everyone else went out. They went to another room and watched the situation here through the surveillance.

When the ward became completely quiet, the three little animals were very panicked about the current situation. Although they were docile, they did not know each other. The golden monkey had no nanny anymore, so it cried and scratched the door.

The red panda had already climbed onto the curtains, hugged the curtain railing, and looked down in horror.

The antelope was still eating berries, and after finishing, it defecated on the spot.

After a while, seeing the golden monkey about to scratch Nini's tube out of fear, the staff watching the surveillance became anxious: "What, what, what..."

Mu Ling also hissed. She had indeed forgotten the uncertainty of these little animals.

The main reason is that if it were at their house, she would let the war beasts do this kind of work directly, and as everyone knows, their war beasts are very obedient and well-behaved, and they would not be so timid.

Mu Ling said awkwardly: "How about sending someone else in?"

The staff looked at each other, and finally everyone's eyes were focused on Mu Ling.

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling pointed at her nose and said, "Me?"

But she is an outsider!

Director Tang said, "Excuse me, Director Mu."

Deputy Director Liu said, "Thank you for your hard work, Director Mu."

Director He said, "Director Mu, please."

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling felt that she shouldn't interfere, because after all, this was someone else's Maple Leaf Zoo, not her own Piccolo Zoo, and the war beasts belonged to them.

But for the people at Maple Leaf Zoo, she is the expert doctor they have finally invited. Now that the expert is here, they naturally hope that the expert can do the treatment personally. When the experts from the Veterinary Association and the War Beast Center come, they will also do the treatment personally.

In the end, Mu Ling still wore protective clothing, sprayed herself with the useless deodorant, and entered the ward.

When the little animals in the ward saw a stranger coming in, they immediately became alert and retreated to the corner.

A caregiver who came in with Mu Ling quickly cleaned up the antelope's feces and then hurried away.

Until the door of the ward was closed again, Mu Ling looked at the three little animals in front of her awkwardly, raised her hand, and tried to greet them: "Hi."

The three little animals were even more afraid to approach her!

Five minutes later.

"Okay, okay, there really is no more."

Mu Ling caught the golden monkey that had climbed onto her shoulder and let it sit on her lap with the red panda. Then she reluctantly took out two small fruits from her pocket and gave them one each.

The red panda and the golden monkey got to eat the fruit as they wished. The baby antelope also came over and used its newly grown horns to push Mu Ling's arm.

Mu Ling turned around and fed it a leaf. The baby antelope ate it quickly and asked Mu Ling for more after it was done.

Mu Ling was surrounded by three little animals all of a sudden, but she was very comfortable with it. After all, in her park, there were more than three animals that she needed to take care of at the same time.

In another room, everyone watching the surveillance video seemed dazed. Someone mumbled, "It's like watching a video..."

Take those videos of the Piccolo Zoo. In the videos, doesn’t Director Mu often surround himself with animals like this?

I just didn't expect that after changing to another zoo, she could be so successful so quickly.

The three little animals were comforted, and after a while, the giant panda Nini slowly opened her eyes.

The smell in the air is very complicated, but among the complicated smells, there seems to be a smell that is particularly different.

The withered and powerless black and white bear looked weakly ahead. It tried to turn over, but its limbs had no strength at all. It just climbed up a little, but finally could only lie back down weakly.

Black and white bear felt very uncomfortable and suffered a lot.

At this moment, its hair was suddenly touched.

The black and white bear suddenly became alert and wanted to retreat.

A soft human voice sounded beside its dark ears: "Nini, are you awake?"

"Wow, our Nini has just woken up and is already stretching out her claws. That's amazing."

"Nini, do you want some water? Can we drink some water?"

The black and white bear couldn't understand the complex and fast language at all. It was a little angry, baring its teeth and roaring: "Ga ga... Ga ga..."

When Iron Bear feels threatened and alarmed, it will make a sharp, goose-like quacking sound to scare away potential enemies!

“Ga ga… ga wu…”

A bottle was suddenly stuffed into the roaring mouth.

A liquid mixed with milk and medicine was forced into his mouth. Tiexiong wanted to push the bottle open with his tongue, but accidentally tasted the fragrant milk inside. He couldn't help but smacked it, and accidentally drank the milk.

After taking a sip, he moved his mouth and took a second sip.

After almost finishing half the bottle, Tiexiong finally realized that he didn't want to drink this.

It pushed the bottle away again, and when the bottle was finally pushed away, it just breathed a sigh of relief, and then, another piece of bamboo shoot appeared in its mouth.

Fresh bamboo shoots are thin slices cut from the tenderest tips and cores of bamboo shoots.

It melts in your mouth and has a refreshing aroma.

Because it is so thin, it melts into your throat without any chewing.

The black bear's huge dark circles and black bean-like eyes looked at the human in front of it in shock.

It didn't seem to expect that this human would be so cunning!

At this moment, a lamb's head suddenly popped up from behind the human's shoulder.

Monokuma was a little confused.

Hey, it’s not a human, is it a sheep?

Then, a little golden monkey climbed onto the other person's back.

Is it a monkey?

Finally, a brown little panda head, with its tongue sticking out as if it was laughing, emerged from the human's arms.

Ah, is that a red panda?

Tiexiong felt a little confused.

Just when it was still trying to figure out what kind of animal was in front of it, several slices of bamboo shoots were stuffed into its mouth.

Then the bottle got clogged again.

A pleasant smell filled his nose, and all he could see were weak, non-aggressive cubs.

The black and white bear felt as if it had relaxed. It smacked its lips again and the milk went into its throat again.

By the time he finished a bottle of milk, he had also finished eating the last piece of bamboo shoots.

The black and white bear felt very tired and closed his eyes drowsily again.

Seeing that Nini had fallen asleep again, Mu Ling picked up the golden monkey that had climbed onto her head, then touched the dry hair of the black and white bear, turned to the camera in the corner, and made an "OK" gesture.

He indicated that it was done and that he had taken the medicine and the meal.

The surveillance camera: "..."

"????"

The room was silent.

Xiang Bie looked at this scene as if it was a matter of course and didn't think there was anything special about it.

But others: "..."

The other people’s CPUs were about to burn out. They couldn’t figure out why it was eaten up like this?

Why did Nini just eat it obediently?

Why didn’t Nini resist this time?

Is Nini killing its familiar? Why does it become obedient when a stranger comes?

What an exaggeration, Iron Bear!
