Chapter 172

Around 12 o'clock in the evening, Lieutenant Colonel Sha, with more than 200 soldiers and driving more than a dozen trucks, rushed to Mu Ling's destination.

The rumbling of cars continued, and a large starship was following in the sky. The animals that had originally surrounded Mu Ling, upon hearing such a loud noise, immediately scattered like birds and beasts and hid in the woods.

Mu Ling frowned, stood up, and waved over there, signaling the other party to stop.

The group of vehicles stopped, and soon the passenger door of the first truck opened. Lieutenant Colonel Sha, wearing a neat military uniform and with a serious face, walked over.

He first looked at Mu Ling, confirmed that Mu Ling and Xiang Bie were not injured, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Let's go back."

Mu Ling didn't move, only asking, "What's the situation in the central city right now?"

Lieutenant Colonel Sha glanced at the camera.

Although he was not in the camera, he knew that the audience in the live broadcast would also listen to what he said.

Lieutenant Colonel Sha gritted his teeth and said, "As I said before, the entire central city has been surrounded by our forces. We have the scene under control, but a more in-depth investigation will require further personnel from higher-ups. Our mission this time is simply to provide rescue."

When he emphasized rescue, he meant - please don't create any more trouble!

Mu Ling pretended not to understand and asked, "When will the beast fighting search be carried out?"

Lieutenant Colonel Sha said with a stern face, "I've already sent out my men. We've divided them into over twenty teams, searching the globe. Director Mu, you've worked hard all day. Let's pack up these fighting beasts and take them back. You can have a good rest too..."

"I'm not going to rest anymore." Mu Ling interrupted him directly: "I'm going with you."

Lieutenant Colonel Sha: “…” Can’t you just be quiet for a while!

Taking a deep breath, Lieutenant Colonel Sha said in a deep voice, "How can we go together if you're live streaming? Not only will netizens watch the live stream, but criminals will watch it too. They'll know you're approaching and will be on guard in advance!"

Mu Ling said, "I'll turn on the background blur and only take a picture of myself, without showing any of the background."

Lieutenant Colonel Sha: “…”

Lieutenant Colonel Sha glanced at the camera again, and finally swallowed his resentment. He said, "If you don't mind being tired, then let's go. What about these fighting beasts? Should we take them with us?"

Mu Ling smiled and pointed to the sky: "Aren't you bringing a starship?"

Finally, Lieutenant Colonel Sha landed the starship with a dark face.

Most of the more than 200 animals were put into the starship. Some of them, such as clouded leopards and white wolves, which could lead the way, were not released. Some of the particularly clingy ones, such as brown bears and tigresses, were also not released.

After finally packing up, Mu Ling climbed onto the back of Brother Xiang's truck, squeezed in among the animals, and said to Lieutenant Colonel Sha outside, "Alright, you lead the way, we'll follow you."

Lieutenant Colonel Sha turned around and got into his car angrily. The car sped away in a cloud of dust.

The other cars followed behind, as did the starships in the sky, and Mu Ling and Xiang Bie walked at the end.

The car continued to move forward, and Mu Ling continued to broadcast live in the car, but when they passed the woods and drove into a main road, the live broadcast was suddenly interrupted.

It wasn't until another ten minutes passed that the live broadcast was reconnected.

[Got it, got it, it’s finally updated! ]

[I thought my wife had suddenly stopped streaming! ]

Mu Ling explained, "Sorry, sorry, the internet here is really bad, so there might be more disconnections. But don't worry, I won't stop until all the animals are rescued!"

[Okay, okay, just don't go offline. I won't sleep tonight and will help the principal with the rescue!]

-

The truck jolted, and after two huge shocks in succession, the car squeaked and suddenly stopped.

Mu Ling's body was shaking. After she stabilized, she turned around, lifted the curtain, and looked at the situation in front through the driver's seat window.

The car led by Lieutenant Colonel Sha in front did not stop. This car was parked by Xiang Bie himself.

The two of them had experienced the same pattern more than a dozen times. Mu Ling naturally understood what it meant. She exchanged a glance with Brother Xiang, then immediately jumped out of the car. Sure enough, she saw the white wolf standing on the slope by the road, grinning, looking in one direction.

It has discovered!

Slowly, other animals came running over, and some even walked directly into the stone forest on the right.

Mu Ling went around to the passenger seat and took down the kettle and a stack of basins. As she walked towards the white wolf, she explained to the audience in the live broadcast room, "The white wolf has a special reaction. Let's see what it wants to do."

Mu Ling placed the basins on the ground one by one and poured water into them. The white wolf immediately started to drink it up with big gulps.

The other animals were tired from running and came over to drink water.

"Ding, ding." At this time, the car driving ahead also noticed that Mu Ling and the others had not caught up, and immediately turned back. A soldier leaned out of the driver's seat and asked, "Director Mu, what's wrong?"

Mu Ling shouted, "Something's going on. Tell Lieutenant Colonel Sha and the others to come back."

Five minutes later, the main force turned back. The first destination set by Lieutenant Colonel Sha was a deserted town fifteen kilometers away.

The small town was left behind by the former residents of the planet Nibra. It had been abandoned for decades due to wind and sun. However, there were many buildings there, so it was reasonable to suspect that it was a hiding place. But they were only halfway there when Mu Ling stopped halfway.

Looking at the reaction of the white wolf and other animals who were particularly fond of the stone forest, Lieutenant Colonel Sha frowned and asked, "Director Mu, are you sure there are fighting beasts in there?"

Mu Ling shook her head: "Actually, I'm not sure, but they seem very sure, so let's follow them and see if there are any clues."

Lieutenant Colonel Sha's face fell when he heard her uncertainty, but in the end he couldn't say anything. He could only shout fiercely to the soldiers, "Follow!"

Everyone walked in, and soon they saw a hillside deep in the woods. At the bottom of the hillside, there was actually a large container.

When the animals saw the container, they immediately swarmed over and circled around it, sniffing.

Mu Ling also walked over quickly and said to Lieutenant Colonel Sha, "Hurry up and pick the lock! Come and pick the lock!"

There was a container in the deep mountains and forests, which was indeed very suspicious. Lieutenant Colonel Sha waved his hand and had the lock pried open.

Soon, they saw what was inside. There was actually a box full of animals sleeping inside!

[Holy crap! I finally found it!]

[The animals are awesome! They found it, so they deserve credit!]

[But he's just lying there, isn't he dead?]

"It's okay, I just passed out. There's an anesthetic mist spraying inside. Let me see, there's a switch here, I turned it off."

Mu Ling explained while covering her mouth as she walked in and then strolled around inside.

This is an unattended container, so as expected, the animals here are all "defective products". Some are too thin, some are covered with scars, and several are disabled.

Mu Ling felt a little distressed and said to Lieutenant Colonel Sha, "Don't send them to the starship yet. Arrange an empty car for them. I will go to the car to accompany them. Once they wake up and I have comforted them, I will send them to the starship."

Lieutenant Colonel Sha had never seen Mu Ling comfort animals, and was a little curious. He wanted to know why these fighting beasts obeyed her orders as soon as they met, so he had no objections.

He cleared a car for her, had the soldiers move all the fighting beasts to the empty car, and then he got into the passenger seat.

The car set off again quickly, but before these new fighting beasts woke up, they had already arrived at the deserted town.

The town is not big, but it is indeed very dilapidated.

They walked into the town, and suddenly a soldier shouted, "Who are you?"

Mu Ling was startled and looked over there.

Dozens of soldiers suddenly rushed forward and soon caught seven fleeing hooligans.

If there is a criminal, there must be a scene. Lieutenant Colonel Sha immediately ordered a search of the entire town. After a while, they found another container.

The situation inside the container was the same as before, and the fighting beasts inside were all knocked unconscious.

The barrage felt strange at this time.

[Why are all these fighting beasts packed in containers? ]

[Weren't the fighting beasts that Director Mu saw locked in cages? And they were all locked up together. How come these are all loose?]

Mu Ling glanced at the comments and didn't dare to say anything. What she said before was all lies and couldn't stand up to scrutiny.

"Ahem." Mu Ling could only change the subject: "Um, Lieutenant Colonel Sha, put this box of fighting beasts together with the previous one. I'll take care of them together."

Lieutenant Colonel Sha ordered people to move it.

While everyone was moving the animals, Lieutenant Colonel Sha went to the other side and personally interrogated the thugs, asking them if they knew of other hiding places for the animals.

Soon, Lieutenant Colonel Sha found a hiding place. Everyone prepared to set off, and Mu Ling also got on the car. However, as she sat among a group of unconscious fighting beasts, Mu Ling always felt that something was wrong. It seemed that she had overlooked something...

"Boom." The truck started.

Mu Ling suddenly said, "Stop the car! Stop the car now!"

The driver in front immediately stopped the car. Lieutenant Colonel Sha in the passenger seat turned his head impatiently and asked Mu Ling through the glass window, "What happened again?"

Mu Ling jumped out of the car, stared at her surroundings, and said, "Something's wrong."

Lieutenant Colonel Sha also got out of the car, puzzled: "What's wrong?"

The audience in the live broadcast room also didn’t understand: [What’s wrong? ]

Mu Ling didn't know what to say.

Although every boss has his own habits, she and Brother Xiang spent the whole day searching for animal hiding spots and found more than a dozen containers, but they never saw any container guarded by more than seven people.

The largest one was a group of first-level fighting beasts, which were only guarded by six people.

However, the fighting beast here is obviously not in good condition. It is at most a level 2 fighting beast, but there are seven people guarding it.

It's so weird.

Mu Ling stroked his chin and said thoughtfully, "I suspect there may be animals here."

Lieutenant Colonel Sha was speechless. "I've already searched the area and found nothing suspicious. And your animals, the leopards, the wolves, and so on, haven't shown any special reactions. Are you overthinking it?"

Mu Ling frowned and said after a while, "Check it again."

Lieutenant Colonel Sha: “…”

In the end, Lieutenant Colonel Sha gritted his teeth and endured it for the sake of the live broadcast, and asked someone to search again.

Mu Ling also went with the search this time, but after going around in circles, there were still no new discoveries.

Xiang Bie glanced at the camera, leaned close to Mu Ling's ear, and whispered, "Shall I go and interrogate those thugs?"

Mu Ling immediately shook her head. With Lieutenant Colonel Sha around, Brother Xiang had better keep a low profile as much as possible.

“Hiss.”

At this time, the spotted python suddenly swam to Mu Ling's feet.

Mu Ling looked at the python, touched it, and said perfunctorily: "Little Hua, be good."

Lieutenant Colonel Sha originally wanted to say, "It's been checked, it's gone, can we leave now?" But when he saw the python and Mu Ling touching it with her bare hands, he swallowed hard and swallowed back the words.

It's not impossible to delay a little longer...

"Hiss." The python's huge body wrapped around Mu Ling's body and then swam forward.

Mu Ling felt a pulling sensation. She frowned and looked at the python. Then she suddenly understood something and immediately cooperated and followed the python.

The python walked into an abandoned bank, then swam all the way inside, and finally, it stopped in the empty vault.

There was nothing in the money room. Mu Ling stood in the middle of the room, feeling a little confused.

Lieutenant Colonel Sha stood at the door with his arms folded across his chest, just watching her mess around.

"Hiss." The python swam around on the floor, and then slapped the ground with its sharp tail.

Mu Ling frowned, squatted down, touched the floor, knocked on it, then turned around and said, "Basement, there is another basement inside this vault, quickly find the switch!"

Lieutenant Colonel Sha was stunned. He squinted his eyes and stared at the floor for a while. Then he said to the person behind him with a half-believing and half-doubting look: "Why are you still standing there? Go find it."

Late at night on the Capital Star, Wan Yang slumped drowsily on the bar counter.

The bartender sighed as he saw that he was drunk again, then skillfully made a call and said, "Mr. Xu, your friend is drunk again. Yes, at the Jade Bar."

Twenty minutes later, Xu Xing hurried to the Jade Bar. He walked to the bar with a gloomy face, forced a smile at the bartender, and then asked, "How much?"

The bartender said a number, Xu Xing paid the money, then grabbed his friend's arm and tried to carry him away.

The man, who had fallen asleep, opened his eyes drowsily. Seeing that it was Xu Xing, he pushed him away and cursed, "Get out!"

Xu Xing's face instantly darkened. He gritted his teeth and said, "Wan Yang, don't let me get drunk. I've told you hundreds of times to stop drinking, but you're going to drink yourself to death!"

Wan Yang sneered, picked up the half-finished glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.

Xu Xing snatched the wine glass away, and he grabbed Wan Yang's arm again, trying to pull him away.

Wan Yang struggled again, and the two of them started fighting. The bartender couldn't stand it anymore and warned them: "Hey, hey, hey, don't fight in front of me, I'm calling security!"

Wan Yang waved Xu Xing away and said to the bartender, "Another drink."

"Don't give it to him." Xu Xing said.

Wan Yang narrowed his eyes and looked fiercely at Xu Xing beside him.

Facing Wan Yang's accusing eyes, Xu Xing's throat rolled and he said with difficulty: "I have apologized to you many times, Wan Yang, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"Sorry's useless!" Wan Yang slammed the table and roared, "You said that woman liked cats. You asked me to borrow Caesar, and I lent it to you because we're brothers. Then, you took Caesar on a date and didn't take care of it. You let it run out into the street and got hit by a car and died. You killed it!"

Wan Yang said, extending a finger and jabbing it fiercely in Xu Xing's chest. "And your Taozi? You locked her up in the dorm for a date. She's a monkey, she can open the window. She fell to her death from the upstairs, and it's all your fault! Xu Xing, you still have the nerve to come to me! You're a fucking beast!"

"Pa!" A huge slap sound suddenly rang out.

The bartender who was eating melon was startled. He looked suddenly at the boy named Xu Xing and hissed.

This brother is so cruel that he slaps himself in the face!

Wan Yang looked at the slap mark on Xu Xing's face and was stunned for a moment: "You..."

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

"Pa!" Xu Xing said nothing, with red eyes, and slapped himself in the face silently.

He did not stop until his face was severely congested and swollen like a steamed bun, and blood even flowed from the corners of his mouth.

Wan Yang frowned and said, "That's enough."

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

"That's enough."

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

"I've said enough!" Wan Yang suddenly roared and stopped Xu Xing's hand to stop him from hitting.

Xu Xing clenched his fists tightly. He was an eighteen-year-old boy, just beginning to fall in love, his first love, but he paid a very painful price for it.

Doesn't he feel pain? He feels pain too, he hates himself too, he regrets too...

But, but...

A sudden silence fell between the two.

The bartender stood by and was stunned, his movements of wiping the glasses froze.

Another customer at the bar was also stunned, and this one even exclaimed out loud: "Fuck, the hatred of killing a pet is irreconcilable. This side is beautiful, and that side is beautiful too. I don't know which way to look for a moment."

The bartender looked at the other customer and saw that he was looking at the PC. In fact, for some reason, many customers were staying in the booths tonight looking at the PC, and there were very few people dancing.

The bartender asked curiously, "Brother, where is that side? What's good looking there?"

The guest said, "This is a live broadcast. This is Director Mu of the Piccolo Zoo. We're broadcasting the rescue of the Nibra Star Beasts. You didn't know, but we just found six of them in the basement. Wow, the python pointed the way. 6, right?"

The bartender didn't expect there would be such fun tonight, and hurriedly said, "Let me see it too."

The guest said, "Look for yourself."

The bartender looked around and whispered, "I'm at work. My boss is going to dock my bonus if he sees me playing on my laptop. Let me see, and I'll give you a drink."

The guest thought about it and decided to project his laptop screen into the air. He made it very small so as not to disturb others and only people nearby could see it.

At this moment, in the live broadcast room, Director Mu was holding an unconscious brown monkey with a slightly bald forehead and said, "This looks like a red monkey, right? Its features are quite obvious."

Little red monkey?

Xu Xing, whose face had swollen from size S to XXXXL, suddenly turned his head. He looked at the small screen over there, and then saw the incredibly familiar little monkey in the camera again...

Xu Xing: “?”

Wan Yang also saw the little monkey. He was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his eyes, and rubbed his eyes again, thinking that he had seen it wrong...

Why does this look so much like Xu Xing’s peaches?

"Wow, this cat is so cute!" Mu Ling picked up another pure white cat with two tails, only a little brown hair on its butt. She rubbed the cat's forehead with her nose lovingly, and her voice softened: "Mimi is so good, Mimi is so good."

Wan Yang suddenly stiffened.

He stared straight at the two-tailed cat, and then his whole body slowly floated towards the screen in front of him like a wandering soul.

Was I seeing things? Surely I wasn't seeing things? Isn't this... isn't this... his Caesar...?

But just as he leaned over, in the camera, a large, bony hand suddenly took the white cat away, and then the man's cold voice rang out: "Its name is not Mimi."

Mu Ling: “…”

Wan Yang: “…”

Mu Ling touched her nose awkwardly and said to the audience in the live broadcast room, "Haha, our colleague also likes cats. He held it for a while and said it should be a two-tailed cat. I see the tip of the tail is forked..."

Two-tailed cat...

Yes, that's the two-tailed cat...

He was right!

Wan Yang's face was almost sticking into the screen.

The guest was shocked and thought he was a bit crazy or drunk, so he quickly turned off the projection screen and changed his seat to the other side.

After watching the guests leave, Wan Yang turned around and looked at Xu Xing, who was also looking at him.

A second later, they both turned on their computers and entered the live broadcast room.

Replay, replay like crazy!

Five minutes later, Wan Yang spoke with difficulty, "Xu Xing... do you think it's possible that there are two identical cats in the world, even with the yellow hair on their butts in the same position... with two tails?"

Xu Xing shook his head silently: "Probably... not... right..."

He then asked, "Do you think there are two red monkeys in the world that are exactly the same, even down to the wrinkles on their faces and the bald spots on their foreheads?"

Wan Yang swallowed his saliva and said, "Probably... not... right..."

The two looked at each other again.

After a while, Wan Yang said blankly: "We were not deceived before, were we?"

Xu Xing was silent for a moment, then carefully held up his pig-like face, tears of sorrow welling up in his eyes: "I won't... beat myself up in vain, right?"

Wan Yang looked at him and smacked his lips: "It's not in vain. You really deserve it."

Xu Xing: “…”

-

At the same time, similar situations were happening all over the galaxy.

The introverted girl who had transferred from the Beast Taming Military Academy to an ordinary university looked at Yan Lu in the live broadcast room in shock.

A young veterinarian who was expelled from the War Beast Academy and had his veterinary license revoked by the War Beast Center due to improper diagnosis and the death of a coral wolf cub and a tussock fox cub burst into tears in the live broadcast room.

The young boy who had joined the army and became an ordinary recruit looked at Chongshan Bao in the live broadcast room, clenched his palms into fists, and with a "bang", he punched the wall beside the bed. The wall was slightly dented, and his hands were covered with blood, but he didn't care.

The young men and women, whose lives are filled with regrets because of these six war beasts, are each in their own world, shocked, delighted, and in disbelief.

Only the other side.

Principal Jin of the Dual Star Wars Beast Academy was half asleep when he suddenly received a call.

The voice of their school's nursing director came from the other end of the communication: "Principal, have you watched the live broadcast?"

Principal Jin yawned, confused: "What live broadcast?"

"It's the live broadcast of the rescue on Nibra."

Principal Jin was drowsy: "Oh, that, I watched Principal Tian's live broadcast during the day..."

"It wasn't during the day, it was at night. Principal Mu did a live broadcast at night. The teachers in our teaching group confirmed it again and again, and it seems that 'Fu Fu' has been found! Fu Fu is with her!"

Principal Jin dozed off and ran away. He immediately sat up straight and asked, "Where do you think Fu Fu is?"

Fu Fu is a tearing tiger in their War Beast Academy. Because he is too stupid and too timid, Fu Fu has to repeat grades again and again. It is judged that although he has S-level talent, he is not even as good as B-level. In the end, he could not graduate because he himself could not graduate. Although Fu Fu has a master, he is of no help to his master. He even caused his master's grades to go from first in the grade to last in the grade.

The children failed all their practical classes, and finally the principal of the Beast Taming Academy couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped in personally and returned Fu Fu to them, asking them to give Fu Fu's former owner a chance to live.

Principal Jin felt embarrassed to let his own child continue to harm other children, so he agreed to return the beast. Just like that, Fu Fu returned to the academy and became the only S-class war beast to be returned in the school.

Maybe he was unhappy about being returned, so not long after that, Fu Fu ran away from home and disappeared.

The head nurse on the other end said excitedly, "We saw it in Director Mu's live broadcast room. It really is the same Ripping Tiger. It's definitely Fu Fu!"

Principal Jin turned on the speaker and quickly opened the live broadcast room.

At this time, the live broadcast room did not broadcast the tearing tiger, and Principal Jin did not see Fu Fu. He asked, "Are you really sure?"

The head nurse said, "I'm absolutely sure. Watch the replay at 10:30. Principal Mu said Fufu and Qilin look alike. Aren't they? They're half-siblings. It was Qilin's fame that got Fufu's previous owner hooked on her, saying she looked like a sister. But Fufu is such a wimp, she needs someone to carry her even when she's in the car. Her previous owner was in real trouble because of her. Not only did she lose her scholarship, she almost had to repeat a grade!"

Principal Jin frowned: "But why did Fu Fu go to Nibra?"

"They're running a beast fighting business over there, so he must have been captured! But as a fellow war beast, I heard the others are all kept solitary, but our Fu Fu, for some reason, is locked up in the same cage with a bunch of old, weak, and sick beasts. Maybe his weakness has been exposed over there."

Principal Jin: “…”

Principal Jin was silent for a moment, then spoke up for his child: "Our Fu Fu is not that bad. Don't talk about it like that. It will have to find a new owner in the future!"

The head nurse was speechless: "Still looking for one, but it doesn't have the ability. The teacher taught it, but it didn't listen. It would be better to send it directly to its sister and let her sister teach it."

Principal Jin: “…”

Principal Jin was stunned for a moment, then his eyes suddenly widened.

"sure!"

Nursing Director: “?”

Principal Jin was very excited: "If Fu Fu still wants to make a living as a war beast, he must learn how to be a qualified war beast. Sending him to the Piccolo Zoo for further training is a great idea. Qilin is his biological sister, how can he not like him? He will definitely fall in love with him the moment he sees him!"

Nursing Director: "...Principal, are you serious?"

"Really?" Principal Jin said, "Fu Fu and Qi Lin look so much alike. Principal Mu seems to like Fu Fu very much. I can't imagine how happy Qi Lin will be if she takes Fu Fu back!"
