Chapter 65

The rebels apparently didn't know that there was someone on duty at the veterinary station at night.

While one person was prying the door open in front, the rest of the people were on guard.

The entire park was so quiet. In ordinary zoos, there would be animals calling at night, but the Beak Zoo was completely different from other zoos they had stolen from. It was as if no one lived here.

"Boss, aren't we going too smoothly?" someone asked anxiously.

The burly man leading the group shrugged. "For a zoo that's only recently become an internet-famous site, with few animals and a small staff, it's like a makeshift operation. Isn't it normal for it to be going smoothly? I think if we get the chance later, we might even be able to steal a couple more."

The subordinate thought of the animal dormitories he had just seen and was a little tempted: "If we can bring back a few more S-class war beasts, the higher-ups will definitely be very happy. Then the boss's promotion will be..."

The strong man also smiled, then turned back to ask the lock picker, "Are you ready?"

"Almost... uh..."

The lock picker paused mid-sentence.

The guards looked at him hurriedly.

The lock picker slowly reached up to his head...

A moment later, under the illumination of the flashlight, a lump of green and white sticky substance appeared in the palm of his hand.

The person next to him leaned over to take a look, then immediately covered his nose and moved away: "Bird shit!"

The lock picker felt extremely unlucky. He rubbed the bird droppings on his hands on his clothes and looked up at the sky.

"Okay, hurry up!" The strong man didn't care about anything and urged loudly.

“Pah.”

As a result, at this moment, something fell on the strong man's head.

The sturdy man reached out and touched his head with a distorted face, and sure enough, there was another pile of bird shit.

"Fuck it!" The strong man was angry and aimed his gun at the sky.

But the sky was pitch black, and there was no sign of any birds.

"Boss, calm down, calm down." The subordinate quickly comforted his superior, and then pinched his sleeves and wiped the boss's head diligently.

The burly man pushed him away and glared at the sky fiercely again.

The other rebels also looked up at the sky, and at this moment, there was a "click" sound and the lock opened.

"Boss!" the lock picker said excitedly.

The sturdy man turned around immediately, and the others also raised their guns and pointed them at the door panel vigilantly.

The leading rebel carefully opened the door, and just halfway through, suddenly...

"Ah!" A short scream suddenly came from behind.

Everyone turned around, but before they could see what was happening, a golden figure was already rushing towards them!

The golden tiger pounced on one of the rebels, pressing its thick claws hard on his shoulder. Murderous intent was evident in its brown-green eyes, and its sharp teeth were covered with sticky liquid. The teeth were only half an inch away from the rebel's neck!

The rebels didn't react at all, and following the golden tiger appeared a black cheetah and a gray wolf!

Immediately afterwards, a roaring lion with a ferocious face and a giant elephant at least three meters tall suddenly appeared.

The appearance of the giant elephant even blocked out the remaining light of the night lights in the square.

The rebels only felt that the shadow of the giant elephant was like a mountain, which swallowed them all in a moment!

From the appearance of the golden tiger to the arrival of the giant elephant, the entire process took less than a second.

The rebels finally reacted at this moment. The strong man loaded his gun and was about to shoot at the Black Panther closest to him.

But at this moment, the door behind him was suddenly opened. The strong man only felt a gust of wind blowing in his ears. As he fired his silenced rifle, his entire head was kicked to the side by a hard calf.

A bloody tooth flew out of his mouth, and the black panther's skin was scratched with blood.

The black panther suddenly became angry. It stomped hard on the person under its feet, then pounced on the strong man, knocked him down, and with a roar, bit the strong man's shoulder.

The strong man was in so much pain that just as he was about to scream, his mouth was suddenly blocked.

The sturdy man was sweating profusely as he looked at the ghostly and cold man above his head. The man covered his mouth and made a "hush" gesture to him with his other hand holding the tranquilizer gun.

The burly man suddenly began to sweat even more, and the next second, the man knocked him unconscious with a knife.

After knocking the strong man unconscious, Xiang Bie seemed to have eyes on his back. He suddenly turned sideways and dodged a bullet from behind. Then he stood up and shot the man behind him in the center of his eyebrows.

The large dose of tranquilizer gun used to deal with wild beasts will make the person faint when it sees blood, and he fell backwards instantly.

Xiang Bie turned around again, dodged a sneak attack, and kicked a rebel against the wall.

At the same time, the white fox that followed Xiang Bie out of the veterinary station, with its purple eyes flashing, bit a rebel's thigh fiercely.

The rebel was about to shout when Xiang Bie shot him again.

The purple electric baboon jumped onto the shoulder of a rebel, and its sharp nails almost scratched through the man's scalp.

The leopard bit a rebel's gun hand.

The white bear used its large claws to scratch a rebel's back, leaving a bloody four-claw mark.

The giant elephant kicked the rebel who was caught and thrown forward back to the white bear.

At this time, a rebel in the distance wanted to shoot at the giant elephant, but a fiery eagle suddenly swooped down from the sky and bit the rebel's eyes directly. The rebel's gun misfired and missed, and he was hit by the giant elephant's nose and flew away!

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Immediately afterwards, Xiang Bie shot them one by one, and in less than twenty seconds, all the rebels who were still able to resist were knocked out!

The entire war did not last too long. After a minute and a half, the entire park had returned to silence.

Meanwhile, inside the ward, the red-bellied monkey had already opened the door and escaped from its cage.

After just standing in front of the ward area and observing for a while, the red-bellied monkey hesitated after smelling the blood, and then ran back, got into Mu Ling's cage, squatted above Mu Ling's head, and gently hugged Mu Ling's head.

When there are S-level and A-level war beasts as vanguards, B-level war beasts will consciously take on defensive tasks. This is also one of the training programs that B-level war beasts will receive.

Five minutes later.

Xiang Bie walked into the ward area while wiping other people's blood off his clothes with a tissue.

At this time, all the cage doors in the ward area were open. Xiang Bie quietly looked at the slender sleeping figure that was not disturbed, and then glanced at the red-bellied monkey that was always protecting the girl and grinning at him.

Pursing his lips, Xiang Bie retreated again.

At this time, outside the veterinary station, the place was in a mess.

All eight rebels fell, and a large group of war beasts surrounded them.

Qilin then walked to Lightning's side and gently licked the wound on Lightning's shoulder. Qingjiao also came over and licked Lightning's hair.

Pimi is a boy. Although he usually doesn't get too close to the sisters, when he smelled the blood of Lightning, he still came over and sniffed in that direction.

Ta Yun stopped beside Lightning, puffed out his chest, and took two steps in front of Lightning.

Magic stretched out his long nose and used it to curl up the lightning's tail.

They all care about Lightning in their own way...

Lingren was not familiar with Lightning and the others, and was just squatting at the door with Polar Bear and Leopard.

It was quite extraordinary, this clever purple electric baboon was standing next to a rebel soldier, its claws rummaging through his clothes and digging out some smelly tubes.

Xiang Bie walked over, picked up the syringes, smelled them, and then looked around the scene, turned on the light brain, and made a call.

The call was quickly connected, and Wei Li's dazed voice came from the other end: "Brother Xiang?"

Xiang Bie said briefly: "Come down and clean up the mess."

The two words "aftermath" scared away Wei Li's sleepiness!

When Wei Li rushed down, he saw that the outside of the veterinary station was in chaos, and all the animals in the house were gathered there!

Wei Li didn't dare to provoke these uncles. He just looked at the only human and asked cautiously, "Brother Xiang, what is this?"

Xiang Bie threw the injection to Wei Li.

Wei Li took it and smelled it, frowning: "This is not an ordinary anesthetic, there is a different smell in it. Are these poachers?"

Xiang Bie threw another rebel pistol to Wei Li.

Wei Li only grasped it briefly before narrowing his eyes. "The weight isn't right. This new QS□□ shouldn't be this light..."

Wei Li said as he quickly disassembled the pistol. In less than eight seconds, he completely disassembled it. Then he looked at several key parts and frowned. "A modified QS. This kind of modification method, is it the rebels?"

"It's very likely." Xiang Bie said, and then looked at the dormitory building behind him and said, "Hurry up and deal with it. Be quiet and don't alarm anyone."

Wei Li nodded and asked, "What will you say if we call the police tomorrow? Will you blame it all on the War Beast?"

Xiang Bie said: "Tell the truth, I heard the noise and fired a few shots, but the bullet marks can't be replaced."

Wei Li looked at the ballistic traces at the scene and frowned again: "We need to deal with it. The trained rebels are like possessed by a demon. They fired seven or eight shots and missed a single one, while you hit the target with every shot. This is too suspicious. We need to miss a few shots to make it look good. Give me the gun."

Xiang Bie gave his gun to Wei Li. Wei Li has always been more professional than him in handling the aftermath.

Wei Li fired several more shots at the rebels who had already fainted, some at the shoulders, some at the calves, and some at the ears. After lowering Brother Xiang's hit rate by at least half, Wei Li returned the gun to Brother Xiang. Then he grabbed the legs of two rebels and dragged them away.

It was not until Wei Li left that Xiang Bie turned back to look at the war beasts that were still at the scene.

He focused his attention on Lightning who was hit by a bullet.

Because he had a little skin scraped off, Lightning was now being treated like a treasure by the other war beasts.

Xiang Bie walked over, squatted down and looked at the wound.

Because Xiang Bie was an acquaintance, the war beasts did not react. Xiang Bie then returned to the veterinary station, searched among the ointments, found one that could stop bleeding and reduce inflammation, then came back and gently applied it to Lightning.

Lightning was not used to Xiang Bie being so close to it, so it stood up and tried to dodge.

Xiang Bie didn't force it. He just made sure the wounds were all covered with the solution, then took two steps back and pointed towards the animal dormitories, saying, "Alright, let's all go back."

The war beasts all looked at him.

Xiang Bie said again: "Let's all go back."

The war beasts were still looking at him.

Category: "..."

Three minutes later.

Xiang Bie looked at the overcrowded A2 cage in the ward area and Mu Ling trapped in the gap between the animals, and fell into silence.

-

When Mu Ling woke up in the morning, she felt like she was woken up by suffocation.

How can I describe it? It feels like there is a mountain pressing on my chest, making it difficult to breathe.

Finally, Mu Ling opened her eyes in a daze, and she first looked at her chest.

A very large tiger head.

The yellow and black patterns give it a mighty and domineering appearance, and warm, moist air emanates from its nostrils.

Mu Ling took a while to react before she remembered that she didn't seem to sleep in the animal dormitory last night. Didn't she sleep in the veterinary station?

Was this a dream? Otherwise, why would she see the Qilin lying on her chest?

Mu Ling wanted to reach out and touch it, but her hand couldn't move.

She slowly turned her head to look at her right hand, and then she saw a big black butt pressing on her right hand.

Mu Ling blinked again and again, and then she looked to the left. Sure enough, her left hand was also pressed down by a big, slightly bald white butt.

Looking at the bald spot, it must be Moonlight's butt.

Mu Ling began to feel something was wrong, and then she looked around herself.

Ten seconds later.

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling: “…………”

Mu Ling: “???????”

At this moment, a pair of golden wings flashed in the sky. The owner of the golden wings circled and then landed steadily on the Qilin's head, adding another twenty kilograms of weight to Mu Ling's chest.

Mu Ling: “…”

Qilin finally felt that the cloud was too heavy, so he straightened his neck and shook his head.

Ta Yun was thrown into the air again, then turned around and landed back on Mu Ling's chest, looking at Mu Ling with his head tilted.

Mu Ling was really dumbfounded at this time. She pulled her hand out from under Lightning's butt, then sat up with the help of the quilt.

When she came, the other animals seemed to be startled as well. In the entire cage, a large number of animals suddenly appeared, stretching and yawning.

Mu Ling looked at them, scratched her head, scratched her head again, and then looked around the ward area.

That’s right, this is the ward area, but why are Qilin, Lightning, Stepping on the Clouds, Qingjian and Pimi here?

Lingren also slipped from her arms and went to sleep not far from her head. Jixiang was still in Ward A1, but why was Lieyan sleeping with Feifan? Didn't they sleep separately last night? And why were all the doors open?

"Awake?" At this moment, Brother Xiang's voice appeared outside the door.

Mu Ling looked at Brother Xiang and pointed at the animals in the room: "I...it...we...they..."

Xiang Bie simply said: "Let's watch the surveillance."

For the next ten minutes, Mu Ling sat in the cage and watched the surveillance footage of the entire park, the entire animal dormitory, and the entire veterinary station last night.

She saw a group of people with bad intentions climbing over the wall, saw Qilin wake up Lightning, Lightning and Tayun teamed up to unlock the door, saw Feifan call Jixiang, Moonlight and Lingren, and also saw Xiang Ge and the war beasts fighting with the group of people at the door.

But the fighting part was always a bit laggy for some reason, and some of Brother Xiang's movements seemed inconsistent.

Xiang Bie saw Mu Ling repeatedly looking at the incoherent parts and said, "The camera at the door must be a bit old."

Mu Ling rubbed Lightning's hair with one hand and scrolled the screen with the other. She said without reacting, "Oh, I'll change it later."

Xiang Bie paid attention to her expression, and seeing that Mu Ling didn't seem to be suspicious, he pursed his lips.

His fighting movements must be processed, including the few seconds when he and Wei Li shot each other again, otherwise the surveillance video cannot be produced.

After Mu Ling finished reading everything, she let out a light breath, then turned around and hugged Lightning tightly, kissed its forehead, and asked, "Lightning, does it still hurt?"

The black panther fell softly into Mu Ling's arms, making a comfortable gurgling sound in his throat, squinting his eyes and acting coquettishly to Mu Ling.

Mu Ling looked at its wound again. It had been medicated and the wound didn't look big, so it wasn't serious. But Mu Ling still felt distressed: "Our Lightning is so pitiful, being hit by such a fast bullet. What if Lightning had been in trouble? Fortunately, our Lightning was only scratched. Our Lightning is simply a super lucky little leopard. Our Lightning must be blessed by God, right!"

Xiang·God·Don't: "..."

It was he who kicked the rebel and prevented Lightning from being shot.

But he cut off that scene...

Category: "..."

Mu Ling went to see other animals and looked at each one over and over again. Although Xiang Bie said that the others were not injured, Mu Ling still insisted on seeing them herself.

After looking around the house, she went outside to see some magic!

As a result, as soon as Mu Ling went out, a heavy rain suddenly fell from the sky!

Mu Ling was instantly drenched by the heavy rain. She stood numbly in front of the gate, looking stiffly ahead.

Wei Li, who was holding a water pipe and about to continue pouring water into Mo Fa's nose, froze. He looked at the headmaster, who looked like a drowned rat, and was dumbfounded: "Headmaster?"

Mu Ling wiped her face, shook off the water on her hands, and asked hoarsely, "What... are you doing?"

Wei Li pointed at the ground in embarrassment and said, "I wanted to wash away the blood here, but the magic saw that I was holding a water pipe and insisted on playing with it. If I didn't fill it with water, it would step on my pipe. I was forced to do this..."

Mu Ling: “…”

The animals behind also came out at this time.

Qilin rubbed against Mu Ling's hand, licked the water on her fingers, and then licked her hand.

Mu Ling rubbed Qilin's forehead, then looked at the giant elephant in front of her, grinning happily as it walked towards her. She sighed and said, "You still have the energy to play in the water. It seems you're really okay. Okay, I'm glad you're okay..."

At this moment, a dry towel was suddenly handed to him.

Mu Ling turned around and saw Brother Xiang.

"Thank you," she said, taking the towel and wiping her face and hair. Then she asked, "Where are those people?"

Wei Li said: "Locked in the garage."

Mu Ling asked again: "Have you called the police?"

Wei Li looked at Xiang Bie, who said, "Wait for your decision."

"Report it!" Mu Ling's face was icy. "Not only should we report it to the police, but also to the garrison troops. This matter is related to war beasts, and the garrison troops have the right to be involved. I also suspect those people are more than just poachers. They are very likely connected to the rebel forces."

Wei Li was stunned. He and Brother Xiang could certainly use the modified firearms to suspect that there was an 80% chance that these people were rebels, but how did the director know?

Wei Li immediately looked at Brother Xiang again.

Xiang Bie also asked in a deep voice: "Rebel army?"

Mu Ling nodded. "The theft of the war beasts on Siwan Star is closely related to the rebels. It's hard to guarantee whether this group of people has the same problem. In any case, we must conduct a thorough investigation."

Xiang Bie then said to Wei Li, "Report it now, hurry up and don't delay the opening of the park."

The park opens at 8:30, and it's 7 o'clock now, which leaves an hour and a half. The stationed troops are quite far away, but they should still be able to make it.

-

An hour later, Chang Jing appeared at the entrance of Bick Zoo again.

It had been more than a month since the last time he came to the Piccolo Zoo to borrow a war beast. Major Chang Jing pursed his lips and said to his captain, "Go knock on the door."

Just as the men were about to knock on the door, they saw someone running out. It was a middle-aged man in a breeder's uniform. When he saw them, he opened the door with a smile and said, "The police are already inside. Please come in."

Major Chang led his men inside, and when they reached the square, he saw several men in police uniforms and that slender and thin familiar figure.

"Cough." Major Chang suddenly coughed lightly, then pulled the hem of his clothes to make his military jacket straighter, then straightened his back and walked over.

Mu Ling heard the noise behind her and turned to see Major Chang. She smiled and walked forward, extending her hand to Major Chang: "Major Chang, long time no see."

Chang Jing immediately shook hands with Mu Ling. At the same time, he glanced at Mu Ling's wrist inconspicuously. There was no bracelet on her wrist.

Chang Jing couldn't help but look at Mu Ling's other hand. The wrist of that hand was hidden in the sleeve, so he couldn't see it clearly.

"I heard you caught the poachers?"

Officer Xiao Liu from the police department said, "We've already checked on the people, but Director Mu said she's worried they're connected to the rebels. She said she accidentally killed a strange beast on a starship before, and the source of that beast hasn't been found yet. She doesn't know if it's connected to the rebels. She's worried that revealing her identity will provoke retaliation from the rebels, leading to this animal theft. So, we hope the police and military can handle this case together, handling the theft while tracing the rebels. We have no problem with this on our side of the police force. It all depends on what you, Major Chang, say. Do you want to take the people away first and then transfer them to us later, or do we take them away first and then transfer them to you after we're done investigating?"

Chang Jing said, "Let's take a look at the people first."

Mu Ling led them back to the garage.

Inside the garage, none of the eight people were awake. They were covered in blood, lying on the ground in all directions, their bodies tied up like dumplings.

Chang Jing took a few glances, then squatted down to observe carefully, staring at the burly man and said, "This person looks familiar."

Mu Ling immediately leaned over and asked, "Look familiar?"

Chang Jing looked at Mu Ling who suddenly approached him, froze for a moment, stepped back a little, and said, "It's just a little bit. I seem to have seen them somewhere. Let's take these people back to our garrison first."

The police had no problem: "Okay, then you can take it away first."

Chang Jing then asked Mu Ling, "Their injuries aren't fatal, are they?"

Wow, there are bear paw prints and iron hoof prints, and there is also an eye that is swollen and has a big bump, I don’t know if it was pecked.

Mu Ling said, "I've checked. It's not fatal. War beasts are very measured. Aside from dealing with exotic beasts and normal predation, they don't easily cause fatal harm to other animals or humans. This is the only serious case. Looking at the surveillance footage, he shot our war beast and injured it. The war beast resisted and bit his shoulder, exposing the bone."

Major Chang frowned: "How about the war beast?"

The safety of war beasts is obviously more important than the life and death of poachers!

Mu Ling shook her head: "It's okay, just a little skin breakage, it's a blessing in disguise."

Major Chang also breathed a sigh of relief: "It's still too dangerous." He looked at Mu Ling again: "What about you, are you okay?"

Mu Ling smiled and said, "I'm fine. I didn't even know about this. They were lying here when I woke up. I'll take the surveillance camera with you later. It records everything that happened last night."

"good."

Major Chang said this and extended his hand again to shake hands with Mu Ling.

This time he specifically extended his right hand so that Mu Ling could only shake hands with him with her right hand.

Sure enough, Mu Ling stretched out her right hand, and Major Chang saw that she was not wearing a bracelet on her right hand.

It was hard to describe what he felt in his heart. After putting down his hand, Major Chang's expression was somewhat lost. He said to the people behind him: "Take the person away."

More than a dozen soldiers rushed forward and carried away the eight poachers.

When they walked out of the garage again, Xiang Bie just arrived in a shuttle bus.

Xiang Bie saw Mu Ling and Chang Jing walking together, fell silent for a moment, walked around to the rear of the car and began to check the tires.

Mu Ling and others happened to be standing at the rear of the car. Chang Jing looked at Mu Ling deeply and said, "Then I'll leave first."

Mu Ling smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. I made you run so early."

"As I should. I will inform you as soon as the interrogation results are out."

Mu Ling nodded.

At this time, several police officers and military soldiers had already walked away, but only Major Chang was still standing here.

Mu Ling thought Major Chang had something else to say, so she looked at him patiently.

Chang Jing did have something to say. He was silent for a moment and then said, "Well, I received the ticket you sent to the military."

Mu Ling remembered the bracelet Major Chang had given her before, so she gave him a lot of tickets in return. She said, "I don't know what you like, but I thought the zoo would be a place to relax and unwind. You could come and visit with your friends and family when you have time. But I haven't seen you come, so I thought you didn't like it."

"I, I like it, but, but I have to train... I can't leave the unit at all. I haven't had a holiday for a month. I..." Major Chang suddenly began to stutter!

Mu Ling quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, I don't mean anything else. I know you're busy!"

Major Chang's ears suddenly turned red, and he said a little embarrassedly: "Please don't misunderstand me. I really treat you as a friend, and I also value the gift you gave me..."

Mu Ling also smiled: "Yeah, I know, me too. Anyway, the ticket is always valid, you can come whenever you are free."

At this moment, someone called him from behind: "Major Chang."

Chang Jing glanced back, then turned back and said to Mu Ling: "Well, I'm leaving..."

Mu Ling's face was full of gentleness: "Take care."

Chang Jing took one last look at Mu Ling before reluctantly turning around and leaving.

After Major Chang walked away, Mu Ling saw that there was still some time, so she wanted to go to the animal dormitory to take another look. However, as soon as she turned around, she saw Brother Xiang still repairing the tire.

Mu Ling squatted down, looked at the tire and asked, "Is the damage serious?"

Xiang Bie was stunned for a moment, glanced at her, stood up, and patted the dust off his hands: "No."

Mu Ling rummaged through her pocket for a long time, then pulled out a tissue and handed it to him, saying, "The military's decision shouldn't be too long. I just don't know if we can get the real answer this time."

Xiang Bie raised an eyebrow: "Hmm?"

Mu Ling shrugged: "Anyway, I didn't hear the real answer when I was on Siwan Star."

Xiang Bie glanced at the gate again and said calmly, "This Major Chang wouldn't lie to you, would he? Aren't you two friends?"

Mu Ling suddenly smiled. "They were just being polite. If I took it seriously, I'd be completely inconsiderate...Okay, I'll go first. But Brother Xiang, if there's really something wrong with this tire, don't drive. Get another car! Safety first!"

Mu Ling said this and walked away. Xiang Bie looked at her back, then looked at the intact tire, said nothing, and returned to the car.
