Chapter 47

"Moonlight, let's eat."

Monday at noon, in the veterinary station of Beek Zoo.

After Mu Ling finished feeding Pi Mi, she put Yue Guang's food bowl into its cage, then turned around and went out, intending to control the bear with voice.

At this moment, the white bear sitting in the corner holding the teddy bear suddenly moved.

The polar bear slowly crawled over, then stopped in front of the food bowl, lowered its head, and licked the can inside.

Huh?

Mu Ling stared at Moonlight's actions in amazement. She hadn't left yet, and hadn't even used voice to coax it, yet Moonlight was willing to come over and eat by itself?

Mu Ling stood outside the cage and didn't dare to move for a moment.

The white bear was a little uncomfortable with the food. While eating the can, it looked at Mu Ling frequently. Then it used its sharp claws to dig the food bowl into the can, walked around again, stuck its butt out, turned its back to Mu Ling, and continued eating.

Mu Ling wanted to laugh when she saw it like this, but she resisted the urge to disturb it.

The polar bear finished its meal quickly, then picked up the bowl and looked up at the ceiling.

The small speaker on the roof was still reading the story.

Mu Ling quickly turned on the computer and wanted to change the audio to praise Yue Guang. However, when Yue Guang did not get a response from the small speaker, she turned her head and looked at her with the basin in her mouth.

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling immediately lowered her voice and asked cautiously, "Moonlight, what's wrong?"

Yueguang spit out the basin, nudged it with his nose, pushed the basin towards Mu Ling, then lowered his head and began to pick the soles of his feet.

Mu Ling hesitated for a moment, but finally squatted down and praised: "Yue Guang is great, he finished such a big bowl of rice!"

When the white bear heard the familiar voice of praise, it turned around and ran inside, then picked up the teddy bear in the corner and came back, sitting near the cage door, holding the little bear and looking at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling was inspired: "Moonlight takes good care of Little Bear. Little Bear must like Moonlight very much too."

The white bear understood the word "like". Its semicircular ears moved immediately. Then it shyly buried its face in the teddy bear's arms, continued to steal glances at Mu Ling, and finally rolled on the ground.

Mu Ling's heart softened when she saw this. She hurriedly stepped forward, put her finger into the cage, and hooked it: "Moonlight, come to your sister."

The white bear held the teddy bear and looked at Mu Ling from a distance.

"Moonlight..." Mu Ling coaxed softly, her voice getting softer and softer: "Come."

The white bear must still be a little scared. It grabbed the teddy bear and crawled back to the corner. Such a big bear curled up into a small one, lying on the ground looking at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling smiled and said, "Not bad, at least I'm starting to get over my internet addiction. We'll be able to top up our accounts sooner or later, right?"

Having said this, Mu Ling propped herself up on her knees and stood up. Just as she was about to go out, she turned her gaze and suddenly saw Pi Mi in another cage.

Pimi had stood up at some point. It stood at the door, looking at Mu Ling and Yue Guang expressionlessly.

"Ah." Mu Ling was extremely surprised: "Pimi, you're standing up again!"

Mu Ling walked over, opened Pimi's cage, and went in to touch it. "What kind of serious matter is worthy of our young master's personal intervention? Did he wet his pants?"

Mu Ling touched Pi Mi's butt.

Huh, no pee?

Mu Ling was stunned for a moment, and then found that Pimi's four legs were not shaking at all.

Mu Ling touched its legs, and it only trembled slightly, but basically all four legs were strong.

"Wow, Pimi, you can actually stand so steadily without your sister's support!"

When Pimi was pooping, Mu Ling supported it, but every time it stood up, Pimi's legs were still not very flexible. But now, it can actually stand steadily!

At this time, Pi Mi lowered his head and licked Mu Ling's fingers, then turned and walked towards the litter box.

Mu Ling found that although it was still a little shaky when it walked, it was much better than before, even better than this morning!

After the lion entered the litter box, it turned around and sniffed its own butt.

"Do you want to poop?" Mu Ling went forward to help it take off its diaper, then held it and waited for it to poop.

But Pimi seemed to want to prove himself. It avoided Mu Ling's hand, walked to the other side, and then made a pooping gesture.

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling just looked at it like this...

One second, two seconds, ten seconds passed...

The lion didn't pull anything. It stood up again, dug in the sand, walked out of the litter box, and then looked up at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling: “…”

Did it make a fake poop?

But Mu Ling seemed to understand suddenly. She smiled and asked, "You want to tell your sister that you can poop on your own now and don't need to wear diapers anymore, right?"

The lion sat down and shook its tail gently twice.

Mu Ling immediately squatted down and rubbed its big head: "Oh, it turns out that our Pimi is already so powerful. Well, then we won't wear diapers anymore, and from now on, our Pimi will solve all physiological problems on his own!"

Pimi was still touching it with Mu Ling, and then it suddenly turned its head and looked to its left.

Mu Ling followed its line of sight and saw that in Ward A4 on the left, the huge white bear had already stuck to the railing at some point, still holding the teddy bear in its arms. Its pointed nose stuck out from the gap in the railing, and it was looking at Mu Ling and Pi Mi from afar.

"Roar——" Pimi suddenly growled at the white bear.

Mu Ling was startled and saw that the white bear seemed to be frightened. Its nose retracted from the gap. It lowered its head and scratched the teddy bear with its black nails.

"Pimi, what's going on?" Mu Ling hugged the lion's head, not quite understanding: "Why are you suddenly so fierce to Yue Guang?"

Pi Mi stopped looking at the moonlight, turned his head back and rubbed against Mu Ling's arms.

Mu Ling touched Pimi for a few minutes and saw that Pimi seemed to have calmed down. Then she looked at Moonlight over there. Moonlight was still playing with the teddy bear. It seemed that everything was fine.

Mu Ling let go of the lion and said gently, "Sister will be busy now. Pimi and Yueguang should have a good rest."

Mu Ling stood up and left the cage, but when she turned back to close the door, she saw the lion staring at her intently...

Something is wrong. It seems like something is wrong with Pimi today.

Mu Ling frowned, walked outside, turned on the surveillance camera in the ward area, and wanted to see what the two animals would do after she left.

Mu Ling watched for five minutes. There was nothing wrong with the lion and the polar bear, and they did not communicate. Mu Ling went back to look at the previous surveillance footage.

This time, she actually turned it over.

Just this morning, after Mu Ling finished cleaning up Pi Mi, she went to take care of Yue Guang. As usual, she coaxed Yue Guang to eat first, and then after Yue Guang fell asleep, she went in to change the medicine for Yue Guang. After changing the medicine, she kissed Yue Guang as usual, and then took advantage of Yue Guang while she was still asleep.

Mu Ling didn't feel anything when she did these things in the morning, but now looking at it from a God's perspective, she realized that Pi Mi was actually looking at her at that time, or in other words, from the moment she entered the moonlight cage, Pi Mi's eyes had never left her.

Mu Ling continued to push the surveillance footage back to last night.

It was the same last night, the same at noon yesterday, and the same yesterday morning...

For several days, because it was more tiring to take care of Moonlight, Pimi seemed to feel neglected when there were only two animals in the ward.

Mu Ling watched the surveillance footage all the way back to the day before the zoo opened, which was the day Qilin and the others moved to the animal dormitory. When Qilin and the others were still there, Pimi didn't seem to have any discomfort, but after Qilin and the others left, Pimi wanted to follow them, but after failing, it started to become a little sensitive.

If Mu Ling talked to Yue Guang for a while, Pi Mi would look at them. If Mu Ling kissed Yue Guang a few more times, Pi Mi would look at them. If Mu Ling spent too long applying medicinal flowers to Yue Guang, Pi Mi would also look at them.

Mu Ling even discovered that when she didn't know, Pi Mi was secretly doing rehabilitation in the cage.

It will walk slowly along the edge of the cage and practice pooping slowly.

No wonder Mu Ling felt that Pimi had become more and more stable in the past few days. It turned out that it was not only because of the temperature adjustment of the food, but also because Pimi himself was working hard!

It seemed to think that if it did well enough, she would like it more...

So when she was in its cage just now, Pimi suddenly yelled at Yueguang angrily. Did it think Yueguang was going to take her away again?

"Oh." Mu Ling covered her mouth, tears about to fall!

She quickly stood up, walked quickly back to the ward area, opened the cage and hugged Pimi!

Pi Mi thought Mu Ling had left, and was about to take a nap with his eyes closed, but the sudden hug confused him. The lion's mouth was wide open on his rough, long face.

"Mua!" Mu Ling kissed Pimi's head, then its nose, ears, and face. She kissed Pimi many times, and finally she hugged it and said softly, "Our Pimi is awesome. Pimi is the cutest lion in the world. Our Pimi is fine now. Sister will take you to the animal dormitories, okay? You can meet other good friends there."

Mu Ling did what she said and immediately opened the cage and let the lion out.

Pimi was still sitting on the ground in a daze. When he saw the cage open, he didn't realize that it was being let out...

It was not until Mu Ling called out several times at the door that the lion tentatively stood up and took two steps forward in a daze.

He took two steps and then stopped, looking up at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling encouraged it from outside the cage: "Come on, Pimi, don't be afraid, come on."

Pimi understood the command "come" and walked out immediately.

Mu Ling was very happy and led it out with a smile.

At this time, there are basically no tourists in the service area, and even the staff are eating in the restaurant.

"Oh shit!" Xiao Zhao, who had just finished his meal and was about to go back to the ticket office, suddenly saw the director taking Pimi out. He was so scared that he quickly hid back in the restaurant.

This is a black-headed lion!

Several other employees in the restaurant also saw it and gathered around the glass door, muttering, "Hey, Pimi seems to be feeling a lot better!"

"But it's still a little slow, and looking at it, it's still very thin."

"There's nothing I can do. My previous hunger strike completely destroyed my health. It will take at least several months to fully recover. I even saw the other day that the headmaster had to feed Pimi mouthful by mouthful during meals."

This was the first time that Pimi had left the veterinary station in half a month. He lowered his head and sniffed the scents everywhere, taking every step very cautiously.

Until, it suddenly smelled a familiar scent.

Mu Ling opened the door of the animal dormitory and said happily, "Ding ding ding ding, we're here."

With the appearance of Mu Ling, several animals in the animal dormitory raised their heads and looked over.

The first one to stand up was Qilin. Qilin stretched, then licked his lips and walked over.

After reaching the door, the golden tiger stretched its neck and sniffed the lion at the door.

The lion did not move, but just let the tiger smell it quietly. However, out of instinct, it still took an offensive posture and bared its fangs, so that if the tiger suddenly attacked it, it could also fight back.

After sniffing for a while, Qilin walked around to the side, rubbed Mu Ling's fingers with his forehead, then turned around and walked back inside.

Seeing this, Mu Ling quickly said to Pi Mi, "Quick, Pi Mi, follow Qilin! It has accepted you!"

The tiger walked back to his cushion, lay down again, put his hands in his pockets and looked outside.

At this time, Pimi finally plucked up the courage, took a step forward, and walked into this space filled with the smell of other animals.

Faced with the lion's invasion, the other animals in the animal dormitory had basically no reaction. The black panther that occupied the eagle's nest was curled up in the nest and yawning.

The falcon found a new nest and began to perch on top of the giant elephant, opening its golden eyes only slightly.

The little wolf knew nothing and was still sleeping with his belly spread out. Qingjiao glanced at Pimi and lowered his head to lick his son's fur.

The only one that showed some reaction was the giant elephant.

Because he had never seen Pimi before, Magic curled up his long nose and started walking towards the door.

The magic was too huge, and it obviously scared the malnourished lion. Pimi quickly avoided the big guy. Because he ran a little too fast, his legs lost strength and he fell.

It quickly got up and walked to the corner.

The elephant continued to walk towards the lion, and Pimi continued to circle around with the elephant. In the end, the lion could no longer walk and roared angrily at the elephant: "Roar!!!"

This is a sign of an angry lion.

The giant elephant finally realized that it was not welcome and had to give up. It stopped where it was, curled its trunk awkwardly, and finally went around to the small swimming pool, sucked some water, and pretended that it was there to drink water.

After drinking the water, the giant elephant turned around and went back to the big tree and continued to sleep against it.

Seeing the giant elephant leave, Pimi also put away its blown fur. It licked its mouth and finally sat down in the corner, keeping a distance from other animals.

As a newly joined outsider, if you don’t want to start a war and compete for the position of leader right away, then the wisest choice is to marginalize yourself first and then wait for an opportunity to act.

Lions are social animals and are very good at fighting for territory, but as war beasts, war lions are also very good at integrating into the group.

After all, they had been separated for a few days, so they might feel a little unfamiliar with each other for a while. Mu Ling was relieved to see that the animals at least didn't fight. As for the rest, they had to get along on their own.

After instructing Xiao Zhao to keep an eye on the surveillance cameras in the animal dormitory while she was at the ticket office, Mu Ling returned to the ward area.

The main reason is that the brown deer have recovered from their injuries and returned to the mountains. Now there is only one bear left in the ward area, Moonlight. Mu Ling is afraid that it will not be used to it. After all, Pimi only started to become sensitive after the other animals left.

As a result, when Mu Ling returned to the ward area, she saw Bai Xiong lying in A4's cage, already fast asleep.

For the socially anxious Xiong Xiong, the current ward area is heaven!

Mu Ling: “…”

Well, well, well, one becomes lonely because of having no neighbors, and the other becomes complete because of having no neighbors. You both really have a bright future!

Mu Ling didn't disturb Bai Xiong and walked outside quietly. Then she opened the webpage and started looking at the recruitment website.

Didn't Mu Ling say before that if the number of tourists remained stable within three days, she would hire more people? Today is the fourth day of opening, and the enthusiasm of tourists has not diminished. Xiao Zhao checks Star Network every day and tells Mu Ling the feedback from netizens. Mu Ling has heard many calls for an increase in the number of visitors.

In that case, let’s increase it!

Mu Ling was excitedly preparing to post a new announcement to recruit breeders, but when she clicked into the backend, she saw a resume first.

At present, all other recruitment information of Beek Zoo has been removed, and only one announcement for recruiting veterinarians remains.

When we first started recruiting veterinarians, seven or eight people submitted their resumes every day. However, as Mu Ling rejected them one by one, no one has applied in the past two days.

I didn't expect it to happen again today.

Mu Ling casually clicked on the resume. She didn't care much at first, but as she looked at it, her eyes became wider and wider. In the end, Mu Ling could hardly wait to dial the other party's number.

The communication line rang twice before someone answered. A young man's voice said, "Hello?"

Mu Ling said with a smile, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Ellen Bray? I'm from the Beak Zoo on the Divine King Planet. We saw the resume you submitted."

-

At eight o'clock in the evening, in the director's office of the Federal Capital Star National War Veterinary Hospital.

Dean Wu looked at the time, put the last document into the drawer, took off his glasses, and prepared to go home after get off work.

At this moment, the communication line in his office suddenly rang.

Dean Wu picked up the call and casually asked, "Who is this?"

Dean Wu frowned, wondering what the person on the other end of the line had said. "Dean Chen, please speak slowly. Are you saying that Dr. Allen Bray is resigning? Do you hope that our Veterinary Association will quickly assign a senior veterinarian to the North Red Star War Zone?"

Dean Wu's ears ached at what the other person said. He rubbed his temples and said, "Okay, okay, Dean Chen, don't worry. I remember Dr. Bray as a hardworking, excellent doctor who wasn't afraid of any difficulties. Why would he suddenly resign? Is there something going on at home?"

"A zoo?" Dean Wu was suddenly stunned. The white-haired old man had to put his glasses back on, as if his vision had cleared and his mind had also cleared. "You said Dr. Bray was going to work as a veterinarian in a zoo? Dean Chen, did he tell you that himself?"

The people over there continued to speak, and Dean Wu could only say, "Then I'll ask him first. Dean Chen, don't worry, if Dr. Bray insists on leaving, the Veterinary Medical Association will quickly arrange for a replacement veterinarian to go to the war zone. We won't leave any vacancies at your hospital."

After hanging up the phone, Dean Wu did not leave work. He sat down and continued to call Dr. Bray.

Someone picked up the phone quickly.

Dean Wu was about to ask when Dr. Bray took the initiative to answer, "I'm going to Beek Zoo. I've already submitted my resume and negotiated my salary with Director Mu via video. She hopes I'll start within a week. President Wu, please send a new doctor as soon as possible. I'll complete the handover with the new doctor before I leave."

The war zone hospital in Beihongxing was built with government funds, and the veterinarians there were arranged by the Veterinary Association. Dean Wu is the director of the Capital Star National War Veterinary Hospital and also the president of the Federal Veterinary Association. He is responsible for all these matters.

Listening to Dr. Bray's resolute words, Dean Wu suddenly fell silent.

Dr. Bray could guess what Dean Wu was thinking, so he said directly, "I know you don't understand. You might be as arrogant as me, not even knowing what the Beak Zoo is. But I can tell you that the answer to treating the sequelae of the H9TY virus is most likely in the Beak Zoo! Because the war beasts are extremely talented, they won't mutate after being bitten by alien beasts. However, the H9TY virus carried by the alien beasts will still cause irreversible damage to their nerves. Although the Federation has developed many drugs to repair the war beasts' nerves, due to the war beasts' lack of cooperation, treatment is always difficult. But now, I think I see new hope, and that hope is..."

"Okay?" Dean Wu suddenly spoke, interrupting Dr. Bray's deafening speech.

The rest of Dr. Bray's words were suddenly stuck in his throat. He choked for a moment before uttering, "Ah?"

Dean Wu said in a serious tone, "I agree. Dean Chen just mentioned that you were going to be a veterinarian at a zoo, but he didn't mention Beak Zoo. If it's Beak Zoo, then okay, I agree. Send me your resignation letter and I'll stamp it for you."

Dr. Bray: “…”

Dr. Bray paused and suddenly asked, "Aren't you here to advise me?"

Dean Wu: "Not anymore."

"Why?"

"Because we just had a meeting yesterday about how to sneak into the Piccolo Zoo and observe those war beasts up close. Our original plan was to pretend to be tourists, but since we couldn't get a single ticket for several days in a row, that plan failed..."

Dr. Bray: “…”

Dean Wu: "Well, my friend, Dr. Allen Bray, if you can become an employee of Beak Zoo, you will definitely invite us to visit your workplace in the future, right?"

Dr. Bray: “?”

Doctor Bray said, "If you also want to study the war beasts in the Beak Zoo, you can use your position to contact the local Forestry Bureau. If the Forestry Bureau can act as a middleman..."

Dean Wu interrupted Dr. Bray. "Do you think we haven't reported this to the higher-ups? But Kirin's owner, Colonel Val, Lightning's owner, Lieutenant Herman, Clearance's owner, Colonel Yunli, and Invincible's owner, Lieutenant Colonel Song Cheng, heard the news from somewhere and reported us directly by their real names. They said they didn't want their war beasts to become experimental subjects for the Veterinary Association. We explained to them that we wouldn't harm any war beasts, but they still disagreed. They still have misunderstandings about the Veterinary Association because of Lucky's death."

When it comes to "Lucky", Dr. Bray understood. There was once an S-class warbird, a gray-feathered crane, named Lucky. Its nerve damage was originally cured very well, but its condition suddenly worsened in the later period. It took less than three days from the onset of illness to death. Because of this incident, the Veterinary Medical Association was accused of using war animals for experiments.

This incident caused a huge uproar, and as a result, some people still have misunderstandings about the Veterinary Medical Association.

Dr. Bray fell silent.

Dean Wu added, "Send me your resignation letter and I'll sign it for you..."

Dean Wu then asked, "But why did Beek Zoo suddenly hire you? Dr. Bray, with all due respect, you're just an ordinary senior veterinarian. Our Veterinary Association has many professor-level veterinarians who are more experienced and authoritative than you. Could you please help ask if Beek Zoo is still short of veterinarians?"

Dr. Bray: “…”

Just because of what you said, I will definitely not invite you here.
