Mu Ling, living on a rural planet, inherited a zoo left to her by a great-aunt she had never met.
In the interstellar era, alien bea...
Chapter 66
When the eight poachers were escorted away, the rebel stronghold had already been blown up.
"What did you say, they were all arrested?"
Puya's face was gloomy. Listening to the content coming from the communication, he gritted his teeth and immediately ordered: "Kill them all. No matter what method, not a single one of these eight people can be left alive for the garrison troops!"
With that, he hung up the call and turned back to his subordinates, instructing them, "Inform everyone to evacuate. We no longer need this base!"
As soon as the first sentence was said, the following immediately started moving.
Luo En was still in the solitary confinement room when suddenly the protective door opened and a group of hurried rebels came in, saluted him, and said, "Captain Luo En, there's something wrong outside! We must evacuate immediately!"
Loen stood up from the ground with no expression, said nothing, and followed the person who came.
Outside, everyone was moving things. Those instruments and experimental samples could not be lost. These data were the most precious materials in this experimental base.
The entire evacuation operation was completed in less than twenty minutes. More than fifty rebels were divided into thirty different vehicles and quickly dispersed into the streets of the city.
The grumpy man in the white coat and three other colleagues were assigned a car with Loen.
They had worked together on Siwan Star before. Except for the grumpy man in white coat who had a lot of opinions about Loen, everyone else was quite obedient to Loen.
The grumpy white coat started to get mad again. "I felt crazy during the meeting yesterday. We did a lot of pre-emptive investigations before going to Siwan Star. It took us a month to prepare before we dared to enter Changshan Zoo. How could those idiots just say they were going to Beek Zoo last night? Where did they get the courage? And now you know what happened? They acted impulsively and now everyone is running for their lives. It's really funny!"
The colleague nodded and said, "Puya was really too impulsive this time."
Another colleague glanced at Luo En and said, "Pu Ya is obviously eager to make a contribution. There are only two people in charge of our Shenwang Star base: Pu Ya and Captain Luo En. Captain Luo En just led an operation that failed. If Pu Ya succeeds, he will be promoted immediately."
The grumpy white coat yelled, "But now it's not working, it's screwed up!"
The colleague continued to study Luo En. "Yes, Pu Ya is usually a very cautious person. How could he make such a big mistake this time? Allowing those eight people to act overnight is not normal in itself, right? Did anyone provoke him?"
The grumpy man in the white coat sneered, "What's so exciting about that? They just looked down on the Beak Zoo. They said it themselves, there's not even a security guard at Beak Zoo. They were all armed, so if they couldn't steal, they'd just rob. They never thought they'd fail, and what happened? What happened?"
The colleague glared at the grumpy white coat and said, "Could you please stop talking?"
The grumpy man in the white coat was stunned and was about to retort, but the people next to him quickly held him down and asked him to calm down.
The colleague looked at Luo En again and said, "Puya will definitely be criticized this time. It's good that he stepped down. From now on, we will listen to Captain Luo En. Captain Luo En, what do you think, can we still stay on Shenwang Star?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the carriage suddenly became quiet.
Luo En was originally leaning in the corner with his eyes closed to rest. Upon hearing this, he raised his eyelids and looked at the few people: "How should I know?"
The colleague laughed: "Guess."
"I can't guess. I'll listen to the arrangements from above." After saying this, Loen closed his eyes again and didn't intend to speak again.
The car continued to move forward, and the people inside gradually quieted down.
Except for the silent Lorne and the naive and irritable man in the white coat, the three colleagues looked at each other and secretly exchanged glances with each other.
When something happens to Puya’s people, who benefits the most?
Naturally, it was Loen who had just made a mistake and was being punished. Compared with Puya's incident, Loen's incident was nothing. At least he had cleanly dealt with it.
If the God King Planet stronghold is lost to Puya's people, then they can also reasonably evacuate the God King Planet. Who wants to evacuate the God King Planet the most?
Of course it was Loen again. He was so scared by the white fox at the exchange meeting on Siwan Star that he ran away overnight. Who would have thought that now that he has returned to Shenwang Star, the white fox has followed him back. There is no guarantee that he will not try to run away for the second time.
Anyway, this incident is really a bit strange.
After all, this Luo En was a traitor. If he could betray the federal army, who could guarantee that he wouldn't betray the rebels? People like him shouldn't be reused in the first place.

Because Lightning was injured, Mu Ling has been taking good care of Lightning these two days. As long as there are no guests, she takes Lightning with her wherever she goes, and even eats with Lightning.
Wei Li looked at the headmaster who was feeding Lightning chicken breast outside the restaurant, and approached Brother Xiang and asked, "Brother Xiang, aren't you injured?"
The other people at the table immediately pricked up their ears and looked towards them.
They already knew that poachers had entered the park the night before. Fortunately, Brother Xiang was very capable and had taken down all the people with his war beasts. They still wanted to know some details, but the surveillance cameras had been taken away, so they had nowhere to ask.
"That's right, Brother Xiang, they are all poachers, and they all carry guns. Are you really not injured?"
Xiang Bie picked up a piece of food with chopsticks, took a bite, and said lightly: "It wasn't mainly me who did it. It was Qilin and the others. I just hid behind them and fired a few shots. Luckily I didn't get hurt."
Everyone was immediately amazed. "Our zoo's war beasts aren't just retired beasts; they're every bit as formidable as those in active service! We really need to learn from the director. She's an expert at raising war beasts!"
"I'm learning now, too. I have to shovel ten pounds of poop in the animal dormitories every day."
"We're eating, what are you talking about?"
"Not only can I shovel shit, I can now smell someone's shit with my eyes closed."
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"And then there's the fodder. Magic only eats the fattest grass, not even the slightly wilted kind. Every day there's a pile of broken grass left over. The director even made me write a report analyzing which grass is best on the market, which has the highest nutritional value, and which grass is best in Magic's service area, including Magic's old recipes. He said he'd analyzed it thoroughly and asked me to write a 10,000-word thesis. I'll graduate once I finish it, and I've only just written the word 'thesis' on my thesis."
"You're just being picky. How difficult can it be? Besides, didn't the director say you'll graduate once you finish writing? My situation is really troublesome. I'm imitating Little Wolf every day now. I don't even know if I'm Jixiang's keeper or Little Wolf's keeper. The director even bought me a Little Wolf cosplay costume and told me to start wearing it tomorrow to get used to it. I'm not sure if I can graduate after I'm used to it..."
"You're complaining about how hard it is just to get dressed? Do you know how hard it is to rehabilitate Pimi? Don't you all always say I wear headphones to listen to music while eating and sleeping? Just look at what I listen to: 'One Hundred and Eight Ways to Stretch Animals,' 'Anatomy of Sports Injuries,' and 'Precision Massage.' I don't even know if I can graduate after passing the animal massage exam..."
The table was suddenly filled with a gloomy atmosphere. Some of the keepers who had previously studied with Mu Ling, and some of the keepers who had recently been assigned to the nursery project, all seemed to have lost their life in their eyes.
Now, those who are writing papers don’t want to eat anymore. Those who are studying animals go back to writing papers, those who are studying animals go back to watching videos of wolf cubs, and those who are listening to professional books continue to listen to professional books.
After everyone at the table had left, Wei Li drank his soup while looking at Brother Xiang, who had suddenly started twisting his wrist, and asked, "Brother Xiang, what's wrong?"
Xiang Bie shook his head, put down his chopsticks and walked out.
Wei Li stared at Brother Xiang's back and saw that after Brother Xiang came out of the restaurant, he stopped in front of the director and said something to the director. While talking, he turned his wrist again.
Brother Xiang, is your hand uncomfortable? Wei Li drank the soup in two gulps and hurried out, wanting to ask Brother Xiang what was wrong. As a result, he heard the headmaster ask first: "Brother Xiang, what's wrong with your hand?"
Xiang Bie looked at the girl in front of him who was tearing chicken breast for Lightning and feeding it mouthful by mouthful. He glanced at the scar on Lightning that was almost invisible without careful inspection and said calmly, "It's nothing. It might have been twisted by the poachers that night."
"What?" Mu Ling immediately looked up. She put down the chicken breast, walked over quickly, took Xiang Ge's hand, turned it, and asked, "Does it hurt?"
Xiang Bie frowned: "A little."
Mu Ling's face was serious. "Those might be rebels. How did they twist you? Besides a little pain, did you feel anything else? Did your bones remain broken?"
Mu Ling said, and touched the skin on Xiang Ge's wrist again: "It's not swollen."
Xiang Bie paused, quickly pulled his hand back, held his wrist, and said, "It's okay, I just twisted it. It's better now than it was two days ago."
"Why didn't you tell me two days ago? You said you were fine." Mu Ling glared at Brother Xiang and sighed, "We need to take an X-ray. Let's go to the veterinary station."
Xiang Bie explained: "It was just a twist."
"That needs to be checked carefully." Mu Ling said, pushing Brother Xiang and rushing him to the veterinary station.
At this time, Wei Li also came out. He grabbed Brother Xiang's hand and asked anxiously, "Brother Xiang, why didn't you tell me that your hand was injured? Let me see it!"
Xiang Bie frowned, pulled back his hand, and asked, "Aren't you eating?"
Wei Li said, "I've finished eating."
"Did you finish eating so soon?"
Wei Li was stunned and looked back at the restaurant: "Ah, many people have finished eating."
Xiang Bie: “…Oh.”
Wei Li: “……?”
Seeing that they were still chatting here, Mu Ling simply pushed them both to the veterinary station.
Ten minutes later, after confirming that the bones were not injured, Mu Ling stood beside Wei Li and instructed, "Yes, that's it. Rub it with medicinal wine like this, and the sprain will heal faster."
Wei Li's face was full of smiles. While rubbing Brother Xiang's hands, he asked, "Brother Xiang, how do you feel?"
Category: "..."
Xiang Bie said expressionlessly: "I feel like I'm fine now."
As he was about to pull his hand back, Mu Ling quickly stopped him: "It's not healed yet. A sprain needs to be rubbed for at least three days. Brother Wei, from now on, you should rub Brother Xiang for half an hour every day at this time."
Wei Li immediately agreed: "No problem, I will definitely heal Brother Xiang's hand! Brother Xiang, what do you want to eat tomorrow? This is considered a work-related injury, so you can eat a sick meal."
Mu Ling immediately said, "You can eat the hospital meal. Brother Xiang, just tell Irene what you want to eat. Let her buy it for you and have Chef Denton cook it for you. Just tell her that I approved it!"
Wei Li was instantly excited and went over to Xiang Bie and said, "That's great, Brother Xiang, you too will get the lightning treatment!"
"..." Xiang Bie looked at Wei Li solemnly, then said to Mu Ling, "Thank you, Director."
Seeing that Brother Xiang was fine, Mu Ling let them rub it slowly, and she took Lightning back to the animal dormitory.
As soon as Mu Ling arrived at the animal dormitory, she saw several employees still busy, some were sweeping the floor, some were changing toys, and the war beasts would consciously make way when they saw strangers coming in to clean. Now most keepers do not wear protective clothing and can enter and exit the animal dormitory at will.
So it is really useful to show familiar faces, including that Pimi can now accept the approach of the massage breeder and Dr. Bray.
At present, the emotions of the animals in the animal dormitory have basically stabilized, except for a few in the veterinary station, which are still a little uncertain.
Mu Ling planned to try to get Lingren and Yueguang to go to the animal dormitory tomorrow.
Lingren and Yueguang are now able to accept feeding from ordinary keepers, and being able to accept feeding from ordinary keepers is the first step in overcoming psychological barriers.
The moonlight no longer frequently goes to the corner to face the wall, nor does it bump into the wall. The actors no longer remain alert and want to run away at any time.
As a whole, they are now able to relax greatly in the cage environment, and this state of relaxation is almost the same as the state when the Qilins were first caged together.
In addition, Mu Ling watched the surveillance footage of that night and found that Moonlight and Lingren were actually cooperating with Magic and the others. This shows that they can accept each other and just need to communicate.
Calculating the next work content in her mind, when Mu Ling returned to the veterinary station, she saw that Brother Wei was gone and Brother Xiang was washing his hands.
Mu Ling smiled and asked, "Are you done?"
Xiang Bie lathered his wrists and lowered his head, saying, "Yeah."
Mu Ling added, "But you still need to rest more after you're injured. Brother Xiang, don't drive the shuttle bus for the next few days. Let Brother Wang take over. You can help me keep an eye on the situation at the nursery construction site down there. Oh, and I plan to send Yue Guang and Ling Ren to the animal dormitories tomorrow night."
Xiang Bie wiped the water stains on his hands with a dry towel and said in a light tone: "Yeah."
Mu Ling saw that Brother Xiang seemed to be in low spirits and was about to ask again when suddenly, her computer rang.
Mu Ling glanced at the caller ID and immediately picked up the phone: "Hello, Major Chang, is there any news about those poachers?"
When Xiang Bie heard the three words "Major Chang", he immediately raised his head and looked over.
Mu Ling had a smile on her face, but after two seconds, the smile faded immediately. Then, her face became serious and she asked in a deep voice, "When will we arrive? Okay, come anytime."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Ling said to Brother Xiang, "Major Chang said they busted an illegal underground laboratory and found two dying white tigers inside. He asked me if I could temporarily send them to our place for treatment. I said yes, and he said he'd be there soon..."
Xiang Bie frowned.
Mu Ling's face wasn't looking good either. She said, "Go notify the others. I'll go find Dr. Bray."
The two men acted separately, and half an hour later, a military truck drove over.
Mu Ling quickly asked someone to open the gate and drove the car directly to the door of the veterinary station.
Dr. Bray had already prepared the surgical instruments, and a large group of people immediately helped to unload the white tiger from the car. However, the moment the car door opened, Xiang Bie suddenly smelled the scent of the white tiger. He was stunned for a moment, grabbed Mu Ling, and pulled her aside to talk.
At the same time, in the ward area, Feifan was eating a banana in his cage. Suddenly, he put down the banana and ran to the cage door in a few steps.
The baboon shrugged its huge horse face, sniffing something with its nose, and then it skillfully opened the cage door and walked out with its butt sticking out.
Seeing this, Lieyan from next door jumped forward curiously and called out "Oh oh" to Feifan.
Feifan ignored the flames and continued to sniff outside. Then the next second, it rushed out.
"ah!"
The staff outside were shocked when they saw the purple electric baboon running out.
Feifan jumped directly onto the operating table, grinning and roaring at the people below.
"Fei Fan!" Mu Ling came in from outside upon hearing this and quickly extended her hand to the baboon: "Fei Fan, come here."
Feifan was so anxious that he jumped up and down. He continued to squeak and scream, then he jumped forward, unexpectedly jumping from the operating table to the iron cart opposite. On the iron cart, a white tiger was lying there, its eyes rolling back. Feifan went to sniff the white tiger...
"Fei Fan! No!" Mu Ling took advantage of the baboon's unpreparedness and picked it up.
The purple electric baboon wanted to attack Mu Ling immediately, but as soon as its hand touched Mu Ling's hair, it softened again. The baboon's long arms instead hugged Mu Ling's neck. It lowered its head and rested its big face on Mu Ling's forehead with a wronged look.
Mu Ling touched the back of the purple electric baboon's head, carried it inside, and then put it down, whispering, "I know what you want to say. There's a bad smell on the two white tigers, right? Brother Xiang also smelled it. He just told me that they smell like the potion from the night before last. That potion contained not only anesthetics, but also other smells, exactly that smell. So these two are not animals from an illegal laboratory, they are animals captured by poachers..."
Mu Ling sneered again, "Or rather, they are animals in the hands of the rebels, but Major Chang obviously doesn't intend to tell me the truth..."
Mu Ling stroked the baboon's head again: "Fei Fan, be good. I know what's going on and I'll take care of it. But if you're out there you'll interfere with our efforts to save the two tigers. Can you stay in the cage?"
Seeing that Feifan was just looking at her with his little eyes, Mu Ling carried Feifan into the cage, then kissed his forehead, stood up and walked out.
As a result, just as Mu Ling stepped out, the purple electric baboon suddenly rushed forward and ran away directly from Mu Ling.
"extraordinary!"
"ah!"
Screams were heard outside again. Mu Ling chased out and saw that Feifan did not interfere with the treatment this time. He ran directly out of the veterinary station.
Feifan's keeper, who was originally helping to move the animals, rushed to chase Feifan. Mu Ling also wanted to go after him, but Xiang Bie held her back and said, "I'll go. You watch over here."
Mu Ling held Xiang Bie's hand tightly: "Brother Xiang, Feifan must be angry. I just yelled at it. Don't let it get away."
Xiang Bie pinched Mu Ling's fingers: "Don't worry."
Having said that, he turned around and chased after him.
Major Chang was watching from the side. He glanced at Xiang Bie's departing figure, then looked at Mu Ling and said, "Mu..."
"Treat him first."
Mu Ling said, and called out, "Xiao Zhao, take my surgical gown. Doctor Bree is operating on the operating table, and I'll be on the cart. We can save both of them at the same time!"
Xiao Zhao immediately got the equipment for the director and then drove everyone else out.
While the veterinary station was still busy, Feifan's breeder was almost getting anxious because Feifan ran into the mountains and he couldn't catch up with him at all!
"Ding ding." At this time, the sound of a car was heard from behind. The breeder looked back and saw that it was Brother Xiang driving over.
"Brother Xiang!"
Xiang Bie stopped the car and said briefly, "Get in."
The breeder hurried into the car.
The car was speeding up the mountain, and at the same time, over at the animal dormitory, Qilin sniffed the air and also smelled something wrong.
The golden tiger lying on the highest point of the cat climbing frame jumped down from above in an instant. It jumped to the ventilation vent in a few steps, sniffed there carefully, and then tilted its head as if confused.
Instead, Tayun, who was standing in the eagle's nest, suddenly spread his wings. He circled in the air, then approached the vent and sniffed. Finally, he rushed to the door and pecked at the button, but the door would not open even if he just pecked at the button.
Lightning and Qingjiao were licking their fur, but they stood up in confusion when they saw this.
Qilin growled at them: "Roar!"
This seemed to be a signal. Lightning rushed to the door, and although he didn't know what happened, he still rushed to the door and cooperated with Tayun to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Tayun flew out immediately and Qilin also rushed out.
It was still early, and there were still employees outside. Someone witnessed Tayun Qilin's escape and immediately shouted, "Oh, Tayun, Qilin ran away!"
After saying that, he added, "Ah, Lightning and Qingjiao also ran away!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry, Magic and Pimi haven't reacted yet, close the door quickly!"
Someone immediately rushed over and closed the door. Inside the animal dormitory, Magic and Pimi really didn't know what was going on. They were still staring at the door stupidly.
"Quickly notify the director, quickly notify the director, Tayun, Qilin, Lightning, and Qingjian are all running up the mountain!"
"No, the director is in surgery. Find Brother Xiang and Brother Wei!"
"Brother Xiang has gone into the mountains to chase Feifan, looking for Brother Wei!"
When Wei Li heard the news and rushed over, he saw that the animal dormitory was almost empty. His face turned dark and he quickly sent an intercom message to Brother Xiang.
Someone answered the phone quickly, and Wei Li told Xiang Bie what had happened. Xiang Bie's face darkened slightly. "Did they all run into the mountains? Are you sure everyone except Mo Fa and Pi Mi went into the mountains? They're in the veterinary station. The director is performing surgery, so it's not convenient. Use the surveillance camera to check the ward area and see how Yue Guang and Ling Ren are reacting."
Although Wei Li didn't know what the connection was, he immediately used the surveillance camera to check the ward area.
But after watching it, he was stunned and said in surprise, "Moonlight and the actor are a bit strange. The actor keeps looking outside and even prying at the cage, while Moonlight is spinning in circles and scratching at the door, as if he really wants to go out but won't open it."
"Are Jixiang and Lieyan okay?" Xiang Bie asked again.
Wei Li said, "They're fine. Although they heard noises outside and looked outside, they weren't as anxious as Lingren and Yueguang. Brother Xiang, what's going on?"
"Haven't you noticed? Those with abnormal behavior are all war beasts in our park."
Our park?
Wei Li immediately realized, "Magic, Invincible, and Auspicious are all foreign. Qilin, Lightning, Clearing, Stepping on the Clouds, Lingren, and Moonlight are all originally in our Piccolo Zoo."
Xiang Bie said in a deep voice: "There are also Feifan and Lieyan. They have also stayed in Piccolo. Lieyan is B-level and not that sensitive, but Feifan is S-level and is very sensitive... I know where to find them."
As he said that, Xiang Bie suddenly turned the steering wheel.
The extraordinary breeder in the passenger seat was startled and quickly pulled the armrest tight.
Wei Li on the other side asked, "Where are you going?"
Xiang Bie didn't answer, but just pursed his lips and suddenly tightened his fingers on the steering wheel.
-
At the same time, inside the veterinary station.
Doctor Bray's expression suddenly turned ugly: "S-level cub, this white tiger is an S-level ear-horned tiger cub that is less than one year old!"
Mu Ling paused while stitching up the white tiger on the cart. She immediately looked at Dr. Bray and asked, "You said these two are S-level cubs?"
Dr. Bray glanced at the tightly closed door of the veterinary station. There were only the two doctors and a nurse named Xiao Zhao in the room. Everyone else had been stopped outside. Dr. Bray said, "I've delivered countless war beasts. I'm absolutely sure I'll make no mistake. This white tiger is definitely an S-rank horned tiger. The features behind its ears are very distinct. A horned tiger has these small fleshy horns behind its ears. The larger the horn, the higher its talent. What did Major Chang say? An illegal laboratory? What kind of laboratory dares to use S-rank cubs for experiments! And where did they get these S-rank cubs? All the S-rank cubs in the entire Federation should have been raised at the War Beast Academy!"
Mu Ling clenched the scalpel in her hand and flipped behind her white tiger's ears. Sure enough, she saw the pointed fleshy horns. She slurred her words and said, "Go ahead. Save it first."
Mu Ling lowered her head and continued the operation, but her mind was still thinking about what Dr. Bree had just said.
S-level ear-horned tiger.
Ear-horned tiger, their Piccolo Zoo also has a sixteen-year-old S-level ear-horned tiger. That ear-horned tiger was the first S-level war beast sent to Piccolo Zoo when it opened two years ago. It was a war beast that had been to three zoos. Mu Ling had read its information and it showed that it was gray all over and one eye was blind, but it had a nice name, Snowflake.
-
Twenty minutes later, they were in the deepest part of the Beak Jungle, at the bottom of a valley where even patrollers rarely set foot.
The old gray tiger, who had lived in seclusion here for more than two years, stood up from the rock with one eye closed, looking up at the sky.
It no longer had much of a sense of smell, and its eyesight was also deteriorating. It stared at the blurry night sky for a long time before it could see clearly that it was a black shadow of a bird.
It thought that another bird wanted to provoke it, but its fighting power was not enough to support it in fighting with the animals in the sky.
The tired gray tiger lowered its head, lay back on the rock, and closed its eyes again.
At this time, the ferry eagle in the sky landed.
The falcon did not provoke the gray tiger. It just gently landed next to Grandma Snowflake's head and rubbed her hair with its pointed eagle.
The gray tiger opened his eyes and sniffed to the side, but could only smell a very faint scent of a war beast.
Tayun spread his wings again, jumped in front of the gray tiger, and signaled it to follow him.
At the same time.
The purple electric baboon was swinging on a branch and still rushing towards this side.
The tearing tiger, the fire leopard, and the black snow wolf are still running in the jungle.
The patrol car was also heading into the mountains.
They hold the same goal and are heading in the same direction...
At this time, on the other side, at the foot of the mountain, in the veterinary station.
Mu Ling looked at the biomarker and saw that the young tiger's heartbeat had recovered. She finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Dr. Bray again: "How are you doing?"
Dr. Bray also looked like he had just survived a disaster. He nodded with sweat on his forehead: "He's saved. Prepare the ward immediately."
