Chapter 35

Mu Ling watched outside for a long time, until she saw Yue Guang finish the whole pot of fish...

It’s just that I’ve clearly finished my meal, but why is the sister in heaven still urging me to eat more?

Moonlight listened to the command "Moonlight, eat," and had to continue licking the bowl. When it had licked the bowl clean and there was nothing left to lick, it had to hold the edge of the bowl with its mouth, tilt its head back, and show the bowl to its sister.

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling reacted quickly and replaced the voice message urging her to eat with baby reading materials!

Only then did Moonlight spit out the food bowl and go back to the corner alone.

-

Half an hour later, when Xiang Bie came to call Mu Ling for dinner, as soon as he came in, he heard Mu Ling practicing speaking.

The voice is soft and the tone is sweet...

"Moonlight, don't move, don't attack anyone."

"Moonlight, don't tickle me. It will break my skin."

"Moonlight, we're going to give you an injection. Close your eyes, and you won't be scared if you close your eyes."

Category: "..."

"Knock, knock." Xiang Bie knocked on the door gently.

Mu Ling was so frightened that she immediately turned around. Seeing that it was Brother Xiang, she immediately explained with a red face: "Um, I...it...moonlight..."

Xiang Bie said: "It's time to eat."

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling had no choice but to follow Brother Xiang awkwardly and go to the restaurant first.

There were only two of them having dinner tonight. Zhao Fang had gone to protect the guard net masters and would not be back until after 10 o'clock in the evening. Wei Li took Lin Xuan and Li Yan up the mountain to feed the animals in the afternoon. After they finished their round, it would take at least midnight for them to come down the mountain.

So now, there are only Xiang Bie and Mu Ling at the table.

"Ahem." Mu Ling picked up a dish for herself, secretly glancing at Brother Xiang, and muttered, "Well, I found that Yue Guang seemed to prefer exaggerated sounds, so I practiced. I thought that if I could coax her well, I wouldn't have to spray sedatives every time I applied medicine..."

Xiang Bie glanced at her and didn't react: "Yeah."

Mu Ling picked up a little bit of rice and asked, "Will it be weird? Just... if I talk like that..."

"No." Xiang Bie didn't even raise his head, lowering his head to drink the soup: "It's about the same as usual."

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling looked at Brother Xiang, and two words flashed through her mind - straight man.

You're squeezing me so hard and it's almost the same as usual. Are you the legendary guy who thinks a girl with heavy makeup is wearing no makeup at all?

But Brother Xiang’s insensitivity is quite good, at least Mu Ling won’t be embarrassed anymore!

Mu Ling happily buried her head in her food.

Xiang Bie looked at her again at this time, then withdrew his gaze and continued eating.

After dinner, when Mu Ling went to the veterinary station again, she found that the animals in the ward were more excited than each other because they had slept too much during the day.

Especially the little wolf, it just rode on its mother's head and caused trouble.

Mu Ling had no choice but to let them all out and take them out for a walk, letting them run more and burn off some energy.

So when Xiang Bie finished washing the dishes and came out of the restaurant, he saw Mu Ling playing ball with Little Wolf in the open space of the service area. Qing Jian was sitting next to them watching, while Qilin and Lightning went towards the entrance of the mountain road, probably to relieve themselves in the woods.

Xiang Bie stopped there silently, thought for a while, then took out his laptop and took a photo.

He sent the photo to a communication group, then logged out and went to the supermarket to put some goods that arrived this afternoon on the shelves.

At the same time, the communication group to which Xiang Bie sent a photo became lively.

Lieutenant Colonel Song: [Are you spreading rumors? Not invincible...]

Lieutenant Colonel Song: [@Xiangbie, did Pimi eat and take his medicine properly today? Can I take a picture of Pimi?]

Colonel Val: [I only see Qilin's back. Can I see the front?]

Colonel Val: [@Item, @Item, @Item. ]

Lieutenant Herman: [@Xiangbie, Lightning doesn't seem to be here either? I saw the video of Lightning taking a shower the other day and was so surprised. I couldn't believe Lightning had such a gentle and calm side. Thank you, Director Mu, for taking care of Lightning. Can I see a picture of Lightning?]

Lieutenant Hermann: [@Xiangbie, sorry, I didn't see it clearly just now. It turns out that black thing next to the Qilin is lightning. I thought it was the Qilin's shadow.]

Colonel Val: [@Lieutenant Herman, your lightning is too dark. ]

Lieutenant Hermann: [Yes, and it's getting dark, so it's even harder to see. @Xiangbie, could you take a photo of the lightning indoors? Just make out the eyes and nose. Anytime is fine. Thank you very much.]

Colonel Yunli: [? What kind of group is this?]

Colonel Yunli: [Why am I here? ]

Colonel Yunli: [Looking at the information, I was pulled in five days ago. I was on the front lines at the time, and my computer was closed. I have never joined this group.]

Colonel Val: [The group leader noted you as Colonel Yunli. Is this the Colonel Yunli from the Horda Xingyun Army?]

Colonel Yunli: [It's me. Are you Colonel James Val? ]

Colonel Val: [Yes, if you look at the picture above, you will understand why you were added to this group.]

A few seconds passed.

Colonel Yunli: [That's... a liquidation?]

Colonel Yunli: [I saw the clearing? ]

Lieutenant Herman: [@Colonel Yunli, did you just unlock your optical computer today? Haven't you looked at the Star Network recently?]

Colonel Yunli: [Yes, I'm in the hospital getting my bullet removed. I just got my laptop an hour ago and was trying to contact my colleagues when this group message popped up.]

Lieutenant Colonel Song: [@Colonel Yunli, if you have internet access, you can go to StarNet and search for keywords like "Beek Zoo," "clearance," and "little wolf." You'll find out. This group was created by Beek Zoo's keeper, @Xiangbie. Because our war beasts are all experiencing some health issues, @Xiangbie added us to the group. He occasionally posts photos of our war beasts and mainly asks about their past habits. A group makes communication easier.]

Colonel Yunli: [Okay, I'll go check it out now.]

Half an hour later, Colonel Yunli appeared again.

Colonel Yunli: [……]

Colonel Yunli: [...Cleared, it actually gave birth? It... even took a bath?]

After Xiang Bie put all the goods that arrived today on the shelves, he opened his light brain and took another look.

There were many messages tagging him, and he took a quick look and found that most of them wanted to take a few more photos.

Xiang Bie looked outside the supermarket. At this time, Qilin and Lightning had returned from the mountains. Lightning was playing with Qingjian, while Qilin was very interested in the little yellow duck of the little wolf. It held down the little yellow duck with its big paws, and no matter how hard the little wolf tried, he couldn't pull it out.

The little wolf was very afraid of the Qilin. It couldn't pull out the little yellow duck, and didn't dare to cry. It ran back aggrievedly and snuggled into Mu Ling's arms.

Xiang Bie watched Mu Ling laugh heartily as she lifted the little wolf up and then kissed its head...

He turned on the camera and captured the scene.

Then he paused, turned the camera to other places, and after taking a few pictures, he went to the veterinary station again.

Colonel Yunli in the group was still doubting her life. Lieutenant Colonel Song, Colonel Val, and Lieutenant Hermann were all experienced people, and they kindly helped the female colonel solve her problems.

And just at this moment.

“Ding Dong.”

A prompt sounded and a text popped up on the system - Lieutenant General Milo entered the group.

Lieutenant Colonel Song: [I guessed that this person would be invited soon.]

Lieutenant Colonel Herman: [@Lieutenant Colonel Song, do you know this Lieutenant General?]

Lieutenant Colonel Song: [I don't know him, but I was at the Beek Zoo this morning and I looked up Moonlight's previous owner. His name was Jon Milo, a lieutenant general.]

At this moment, Lieutenant General Milo, who found himself forcibly pulled into an unfamiliar group and was about to quit, saw the word "moonlight" and raised a question.

Lieutenant General Milo: [Moonlight?]

Lieutenant Colonel Song: [@Lieutenant General Mylo, the retired S-class war beast Silver Snow Bear, Moonlight, was it your previous war beast?]

Lieutenant General Milo: [Yes.]

Lieutenant Colonel Song: [That's right.]

Lieutenant Colonel Song wanted to continue explaining to him.

At this time, seven or eight photos were sent in again.

The members stopped talking and quickly clicked on the photos.

Colonel Val saw Qilin, who was wearing bandages and bullying the little wolf.

Lieutenant Colonel Song saw Pimi, who was wearing a pink and blue diaper and licking his paws.

Colonel Yunli saw Qingqing fighting with Lightning.

Lieutenant Hermann saw Lightning with its belly spread out and its fur licked by the clearing.

Lieutenant General Milo's pupils dilated when he saw the big white bear that he hadn't seen for nearly half a year!

In a clean cage covered with sterile cloth, a polar bear was sitting in the corner, picking at the soles of his feet and looking up at the sky.

Because it tilted its head back, its facial features were clearly captured in the photo, including its small black eyes and pointed mouth. Its expression was not ferocious, and its movements were not excited. It was obvious that it could not accept being kept in a cage, but now it was sitting in the cage, looking so relaxed!

Although it was not particularly relaxing, after all, it was hidden in the corner, but just this was something that Lieutenant General Milo could not imagine.

Is this moonlight? It looks exactly the same, but how can it be moonlight?

He clearly remembered that once Moonlight was kept in a cage, it would inevitably self-mutilate!

Ever since Moonlight went to the Beak Zoo, Lieutenant General Milo has hardly heard from it. Every time he contacts the zoo staff, the answer he gets is just these few words - Sorry, we can't find Moonlight.

—I'm sorry, it's too defensive.

—We tried our best, but it will elude humans.

Lieutenant General Milo always comforted himself that no news was also good news. Moonlight was too stubborn. It was not easy for it to be alive now. He should not ask for more.

But today, he actually saw the moonlight again...

I saw a moonlight that was completely different from the one half a year ago!

At this time, the group leader also spoke.

Category: [@Lieutenant General Mylo, has Moonlight ever been particularly sensitive to sound before?]

Lieutenant General Milo stared at the photo over and over again, but was reluctant to download it. Then he saw the group leader's question and hurriedly answered.

Lieutenant General Milo: [Sound? Moonlight isn't sensitive to sound. Its sense of smell is far superior. Before it was injured, it usually relied on its sense of smell to determine the direction of the alien beasts.]

Category: [Has it ever been in contact with women? Has it ever expressed a fondness for a woman's voice?]

Lieutenant General Milo: [? Probably not. There are more men in the army.]

Category: [Where was the teacher at the War Beast Academy who took care of it when it was a child? Was she a woman?]

Lieutenant General Milo: [As far as I know, its teacher is also a man. After all, even a cub of a large war beast is too heavy for an ordinary female teacher to control.]

Item: [OK.]

After that, Xiang Bie did not appear again, as if he had finished asking questions.

The other warbeast owners collected photos of their pets and looked back to see that Xiang Bie had already left. They were not surprised. However, Colonel Yunli felt very sorry for not having spoken to the group leader. After watching the video on Star Network, she knew that the change in the cleanup was caused by the arrival of a new director at the Beak Zoo. She really wanted to have a good chat with the new director...

She only had the laptop for a short time today. After she was discharged from the hospital, she would have to rush to the front line. By then, she didn't know when she would be able to speak to Director Mu again...

At the same time, after asking Admiral Milo about his status, he put down his laptop, sat on the sofa in the veterinary station, and tilted his head to look in the direction of the ward area.

In the small space, he could hear the sound of the speakers inside even when he was sitting outside.

It was Mu Ling's voice.

Moonlight was not sensitive to sound before, so his guess was correct. The change in Moonlight was also because of Mu Ling.

Xiang Bie lowered his head and looked at the photo he had just taken in the album.

The young girl was wearing dirt-resistant work clothes and sitting directly on the ground in the open air. She had a smile on her face and was holding a cute little wolf in her arms. She was looking up and kissing the little wolf's forehead affectionately.

Xiang Bie looked at it for a long time, his eyes did not move away, as if he was deep in thought...

Until then, a sound came from outside. It was Mu Ling who came back with the beasts.

Xiang Bie turned off the computer and looked towards the door.

"Okay, we've been going crazy for an hour, it's almost time to go back to our cages."

As soon as Mu Ling came in, she saw Brother Xiang sitting on the sofa. She greeted him and then led a group of furry animals into the room like a kindergarten teacher.

In Ward A4, White Bear, who was originally very relaxed and listening to a story, suddenly heard footsteps and became alert.

Mu Ling glanced at Moonlight. She first returned Qilin and the others to their cages, performed mental assessments on them, and changed their medication. Then, she squatted outside White Bear's cage, looked at the speaker on the ceiling, and tentatively called out, "Moonlight~"

It was a very standard clip sound, and she even got goosebumps.

As expected, the moonlight looked at her.

Mu Ling continued: "Yueguang, can I change your medicine? Will you bite me?"

The white bear sat in the corner motionless, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Mu Ling thought about it, then she opened the computer program and turned off the small speaker.

The small speaker suddenly disappeared, and the polar bear immediately became a little restless. It frequently looked at the ceiling and started scratching its fur.

Mu Ling spoke again: "Moonlight, let me tell you a story, okay? Once upon a time, there was a little pig. It really didn't like taking a bath, so it always smelled..."

Mu Ling slowly told a story that had never been played on the speaker. Perhaps because her voice gradually overlapped with the voice on the speaker, Bai Xiong looked at Mu Ling more often.

Mu Ling tentatively reached out again: "Moonlight, come~"

The white bear turned its head and pointed it towards the corner of the wall, facing Mu Ling with its butt and the large injured part of its back.

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling said so many nice things that her throat was almost dry, but the white bear over there remained indifferent.

Twenty minutes later, Mu Ling gave up, turned on the small speaker again, and went outside.

Seeing Xiang Bie still there, she spread her hands and made a gesture of parting ways, saying, "I've never seen such a stubborn bear! Moonlight doesn't accept offline friends, it only accepts online voice chats. As soon as it saw me in human form, rejection was written all over its body! But what can I do? I was born as a human. I'm sorry. I will work hard in my next life and I will definitely be reincarnated as a speaker."

Category: "..."

Xiang Bie saw that Mu Ling was numb and comforted her, "It takes a process."

Mu Ling sighed: "Forget it, it's an improvement. At least I tricked it into taking the medicine tonight. I'll change the skin medicine tomorrow. Go to sleep."

Mu Ling said this and looked at the sofa where Xiang Bie was sitting...

Xiang Bie paused and frowned: "Are you still sleeping here tonight?"

Mu Ling was helpless: "Yeah, what if something unexpected happens on a moonlit night."

Xiang Bie said: "I will guard, you go to sleep."

Mu Ling was stunned for a moment, but then she thanked Brother Xiang with a smile without any hesitation and returned to the dormitory upstairs.

-

The next day was Monday, and at seven o'clock in the morning, people from the capsule room company arrived.

When Mu Ling went downstairs, she saw Lin Xuan, and took Lin Xuan with her to meet the people from the capsule room company.

The capsule room company arrived with three trucks and more than a dozen workers. Mu Ling shook hands with their leader, expressed his hard work, and led the people to the construction site.

Mu Ling had already agreed on the specific details when placing the order yesterday, and the drawings had also been discussed. Construction will begin today.

Afterwards, Mu Ling took Sister Lin to get drinks for the masters, and then she asked Sister Lin to supervise here. She would be busy with the second round of recruitment starting at nine o'clock.

Mu Ling's recruitment was posted on the recruitment website a few days ago. Considering that Piccolo Zoo is very popular now, and Qilin, Lightning, and Qingjiao have many fans, Mu Ling used hidden recruitment to prevent fans from applying for fun and wasting each other's time.

What this means is that her recruitment information is blocked for people who are not in this profession or whose past work experience is not related to the zoo. Only after verification by the recruitment website's backend that the other party is indeed an insider can they see the real recruitment information.

But even so, Mu Ling still received hundreds of resumes in just a few days.

Mu Ling did a rough screening and finally selected thirty people to participate in today's interview.

At 8:10, the first applicant arrived.

Mu Ling saw someone standing at the zoo entrance from a distance. Thinking it wouldn't matter if she showed up a little earlier or later, she went out to ask the person to come in and apply for a job first. But when she went out, she was stunned: "Hey, it's you."

Fas, the former zookeeper at Happy Canyon Zoo, bowed to Mu Ling and said, "Director Mu, nice to meet you again."

This person is one of the four Happy Canyon employees who brought Pimi here last time.

Mu Ling smiled and said, "Why are you applying for a job here? Are you unhappy working in Happy Canyon? Oh, that's not right. I didn't see it written on your resume that you worked in Happy Canyon."

Fass explained: "Yes, because I have worked in two zoos in total. I worked in Happy Canyon for a year and in another wildlife park for three years. Considering that Beek Zoo is also a wildlife park, I focused on the work experience in the wildlife park."

Mu Ling suddenly realized: "Oh, so that's it. I asked you to come for an interview because I saw you worked at a zoo. Let's go in and talk."

There are many wildlife parks throughout the Federation Star System, but most of them are in plain environments, with very few mountain jungles.

The Bick Zoo is unique, and the Siwanxing Wildlife Park where Fas worked before is a plain zoo. It covers a large area of more than one million square kilometers, with endless grasslands and many animal species. It is a very typical zoo where tourists can drive into the park and tour around at will.

It's also the kind that Mu Ling envies the most...

The plains are so nice, the mountains are too exhausting, going up and down the mountain is a problem, there are too many trees and it is not easy for cars to pass, and it is also very steep. In short, it is too sad to talk too much...

When they arrived at the restaurant, Mu Ling asked Fas to sit down, then looked at the information in her hand and asked the first question with a smile: "Why did you come to apply for our Beak Zoo?"

After that, it’s the normal recruitment process.

Throughout the morning, before midnight, Mu Ling successfully interviewed thirty applicants. After sending them off, during lunch, others asked, "Director, how is the person?"

Mu Ling shook her head. "The ticket sellers, supermarket cashiers, stockists, and restaurant waiters all signed contracts on the spot and are confirmed to start training tomorrow. However, we've only managed to recruit three of the six breeders, and none of the two rangers. The restaurant chef isn't suitable either and can't cook the local cuisine of Divine King Star. So, I contacted another thirty applicants and asked them to come in for interviews tomorrow to see if we can fill the positions."

Wei Li said: "The breeders and rangers must not be careless. They must be professional and have a certain level of combat capability. Otherwise, they will easily get injured when entering the mountains."

"Speaking of injuries," Mu Ling said, "We should actually hire a veterinarian, but it's hard to find a capable senior veterinarian, and I don't like young interns, so we'll have to wait and see."

While they were discussing this, the chefs at other tables had already finished their meal and continued to work on the capsule rooms in the afternoon.

Mu Ling finished her soup in two gulps, put down her chopsticks, and continued, "There are also vaccines. Today is the 13th, and the official opening is in four days. During these four days, we must vaccinate all the animals in the zoo. Starting today, we will form groups of two this afternoon. Everyone will go out. Brother Wei, you take Sister Lin, Brother Xiang will take Uncle Li, and Brother Zhao has to protect the protective net. The masters can't go, so I will take Lightning. Everyone knows how to vaccinate, right?"

Wei Li nodded. "Brother Xiang and I will definitely have no problem. After we teach Xiaolin and Uncle Li, they might go and fight on their own. As long as they don't encounter war beasts, other animals are easy to fight. For those that are difficult to fight, we can use a vaccine gun. We all have good marksmanship..."

When Wei Li said this, he suddenly paused and looked at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling smacked her lips: "My shooting skills are bad, right?"

Wei Li chuckled and said, "Of course the director doesn't need that. He has such a good relationship with the animals."

Mu Ling stood up and said, "Alright, then let's all get ready. I'll go get Lightning and apply the skin medicine to Moonlight."

Mu Ling walked into the veterinary station, mixed the tranquilizer into the canned fish, then carried the food bowl to the door of the polar bear's cage.

In the ward, Moonlight was listening to a story. When it saw humans appear, it immediately became alarmed, turned around, and skillfully faced Mu Ling with its butt.

Mu Ling was not angry. She stuffed the food bowl in at an angle, then went outside, turned on the surveillance camera, and changed the voice.

"Moonlight, Moonlight, it's time to eat..."

The familiar voice urging for food sounded, and the polar bear turned its head and looked at the food bowl behind it. After making sure that the humans had left, it stuck its butt out, crawled to the door little by little, lowered its head and slowly licked the food as it ate.

After finishing its meal, it picked up the basin again and showed it to its sister in heaven.

Seeing this, Mu Ling replaced the voice urging for food with baby reading materials.

Because he had taken the sedative, the polar bear fell asleep very quietly in a short while.

Mu Ling waited for a while, and when she was sure that the white bear was asleep, she went in with the medicine box and applied medicine on the white bear's back.

But after applying the medicine on the back, I couldn’t apply it to the chest because it was pressed down.

Mu Ling was hesitating whether to call Brother Wei and the others for help. Suddenly, her eyes rolled, and she put her mouth close to Bai Xiong's ear and said in a soft voice, "Moonlight, turn over, please, towards your sister."

The moonlight seemed to understand the word "turn".

The sleeping polar bear shook its chubby legs, moved its head forward, and then rolled its fat body over, lying on its belly.

Mu Ling: “…”

It really works!

It turns out that as long as you can't see the real person, all fantasies are beautiful!

Mu Ling deliberately asked again: "Yue Guang, do you like your sister?"

The white bear scratched its belly with its black claws, tilted its neck back, and let out a thin, "Gurgle..." from its bloody mouth.

This is the sound animals make when they are comfortable.

"Pfft." Mu Ling laughed out loud. She ruffled the white bear's fur and said, "Then just assume that you like me. Okay, then you'll be the first to get the vaccine."

As he said this, he ruthlessly poked the vaccine needle into the polar bear's skin.
