Chapter 68

The ward area was suddenly full today.

When Xiang Bie came down from the mountain, he saw Dr. Bray making the bed in the A4 cage.

Xiang Bie looked at Dr. Bray and asked, "Are you going to sleep here?"

Dr. Bray suddenly heard Xiang Bie's voice, turned around abruptly, made a "hush" gesture to him, and said in a low voice: "Keep your voice down!"

Xiang Bie frowned.

Dr. Bray pointed to the B4 cage across the street and said, "Don't scare the snowflakes."

Xiang Bie looked towards cage B4 and saw an old gray tiger sitting inside. It was using its body to tightly circle the two scarred cubs. Next to it were a food bowl and a water bowl. The food and water in them had signs of being used, which showed that Snowflake had already eaten and drunk water.

This is a good sign, at least it means that it is willing to accept feeding from humans.

Xiang Bie looked at Dr. Bray again: "You..."

Dr. Bray waved his hand, signaling Xiang Bie to go out if he was fine and stop talking.

"Brother Xiang." At this time, a soft female voice came from behind.

Xiang Bie turned around and saw Mu Ling.

Mu Ling took a quick look inside, then pulled Xiang Ge outside before saying, "Xuehua is so sad. Haven't you noticed how unusually quiet it is in here today? Even the speakers are turned down. Lieyan, who's usually so loud, is now hunkered down against the wall, silent. Yueguang, Lingren, Feifan, and Jixiang are also silent."

Xiang Bie hummed, "It's very quiet."

Mu Ling sighed. "Our animals are very sensible and are taking care of Snow Flower. Look, I turned down the volume on the speakers, and the moonlight isn't making any noise."

Xiang Bie asked again: "Can the two tiger cubs wake up?"

Mu Ling said, "Not necessarily. The main reason is that their condition is more than just a simple external injury. We're still unsure what experiments they were used for, so their physical condition could change at any time. Dr. Bray said he's contacted a few friends who will arrive tomorrow and will organize a consultation then."

Mu Ling said, taking another document from the table and showing it to Brother Xiang. "I just drew some blood from Xuehua and did a genetic test on the two cubs. It confirmed that they are indeed grandparents and grandchildren. These two cubs are Aurora's cubs. It's too late now. I plan to contact Director Wang early tomorrow morning and ask him to help ask if he can contact Aurora's owner."

Xiang Bie looked at the report in his hand and said after a moment: "No, I can contact you."

Mu Ling was stunned.

Xiang Bie said: "I'll make a call."

Having said that, he turned and went outside.

A minute later, Xiang Bie came back and shared his contact information with Mu Ling.

The next second, a clear female voice came from the other side: "Hello, is this Director Mu?"

Mu Ling immediately said: "Hello, hello, I am."

The female voice said, "I'm Aurora's owner, my name is Huo Mian. I just learned about Dabao and Xiaobao. I'd like to ask, are they doing well now?"

Mu Ling briefly explained the two cubs' situation, and then asked, "Are their names Dabao and Xiaobao?"

Huo Mian said, "No, Dabao is called 'Champion' and Xiaobao is called 'God of War'. They were given by their owners."

Mu Ling was a little surprised: "So Dabao and Xiaobao have owners? Does their owner know they are missing?"

Huo Mian over there suddenly fell silent.

Mu Ling was puzzled: "Ms. Huo?"

Huo Mian let out a breath and then said, "Actually, I received a notice three months ago. They said that Dabao and Xiaobao... had passed away."

Mu Ling was startled and immediately looked at Brother Xiang beside her.

Xiang Bie didn't say anything, but his expression was also cold.

Huo Mian continued, "They said that Dabao and Xiaobao had a hereditary heart disease and it suddenly attacked them, and they couldn't be saved. But I can be sure that Jiguang definitely doesn't have a heart disease. The doctor there said that it might not be inherited by Jiguang. It might be inherited from Jiguang's mother or father, or it might be inherited from Dabao and Xiaobao's father. They said they will investigate, but they haven't given me the results yet..."

"So I guess Dabao and Xiaobao's owners probably don't know they're missing. Those two children are probably still grieving over their passing..."

Mu Ling frowned and asked, "So Dabao and Xiaobao 'died' at the Battle Beast Academy?"

Huo Mian said, "No, it was at the Beast Taming Academy on Furka Star. Three months ago, Dabao and Xiaobao were nine months old at the time. They had already graduated from the War Beast Academy's nursery class and followed their owner into the academy to officially begin training. The veterinarian at the Beast Taming Academy determined they were dead. Since I'm not Dabao and Xiaobao's owner, they only informed me. I had no idea the situation would turn out this way... I'll report this immediately. I'll apply for a leave of absence from my superiors tomorrow. I'll bring Aurora to God King Planet as soon as possible."

Mu Ling knew it wasn't easy for her either, so she said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work. I will also report the matter truthfully to the military stationed on Divine King Star. And until there's an official answer to this case, I won't let anyone take Dabao and Xiaobao away."

Huo Mian said solemnly, "Thank you."

Mu Ling smiled and said, "As I should."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Ling sat on the sofa and pressed her forehead.

Xiang Bie sat down next to her and kept her company.

Mu Ling raised her head again and gritted her teeth, "It must be the rebels! I absolutely don't believe they are poachers, it must be the rebels. Only they have the guts to do such a thing. They've gone beyond stealing retired war beasts from the zoo and even reached out to the Beast Taming Academy! So, will they be targeting active war beasts next?"

Xiang Bie comforted: "Calm down."

"I can't calm down!" Mu Ling was furious. After she finished her anger, she felt that she had no reason to vent her anger on Brother Xiang, so she could only say, "Forget it, I'll tell Major Chang first. Even if he doesn't tell me anything, I have to tell him everything. After all, he's from the military..."

Mu Ling said this and went outside helplessly to make a call.

More than ten minutes later, Mu Ling came in again. As soon as she came in, she saw Brother Xiang making the bed. Mu Ling thought for a moment, walked over, took the quilt and helped him make the bed.

Xiang Bie was stunned and looked at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling said, "Your hand is still injured, and you just drove for such a long time. Don't move, sit down quickly."

Xiang Bie looked at his wrist, then at the surgical gown Mu Ling hadn't bothered to change into, and said, "I'm not in such a state that I can't even make the bed. You go and rest."

Mu Ling grabbed the quilt again: "Let me do it."

Xiang Bie took it away: "It's really okay."

Mu Ling insisted: "I am a doctor."

Xiang Bie said: "I just twisted my hand slightly."

Mu Ling said: "I..."

"Keep your voices down!" At this moment, Dr. Bray inside could no longer bear it. He finally came out with a fierce look on his face and shouted at Mu Ling and Xiang Bie in a low voice: "You are disturbing my niece!"

Category: “?”

Mu Ling: “…”

"Everyone, go, go, go. I'm on duty tonight. If you want to make a noise, go outside and make it!"

Doctor Bree said this and drove away the puppet emperor and the regent. This is a veterinary station and he has the final say!

Mu Ling and Xiang Bie watched as the door of the veterinary station closed in front of them. They were stunned for a moment and then looked at each other.

After a while, Xiang Bie asked, "His niece?"

Mu Ling said: "Oh, it's snowflakes."

Category: "..."

Category: “?”

Then on the way back to the dormitory building, Mu Ling explained the new relationships between people in the park to Brother Xiang.

After listening to this, Xiang Bie fell silent, and then commented quietly: "You guys are quite extravagant..."

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling asked again, "Brother Xiang, if the park is a big family, who would you like to be in the family?"

Xiang Bie walked straight ahead and said casually, "I don't want to think about anything."

"That won't do. You're so important to our park, you have to be one! Let me think about it, you should be my peer. If I'm their mother, then you should be..."

Xiang Bie suddenly slowed down his pace and waited quietly for Mu Ling's answer.

"Little Mom?"

Category: "..."

Category: “???”

Xiang Bie turned to look at Mu Ling: "What?"

Mu Ling choked and scratched her head. "It doesn't sound good for a boy to call me mom, does it? But aren't all of us in the animal husbandry industry male mothers?"

Item: “…………”

Xiang Bie no longer wanted to say anything. He took a step forward and didn't even wait for Mu Ling.

Mu Ling hurriedly chased after him, but when she caught up with him, Brother Xiang had already entered the dormitory and closed the door.

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling touched her nose outside and muttered, "Why don't I let you be the aunt? Why are you still angry..."

Mu Ling said this and had no choice but to return to her dormitory.

-

Monday on Fulka was a rainy day.

At nine o'clock in the morning, He Ting had just arrived in the classroom and was wiping the water stains on his shoulders when someone suddenly sat down next to him. The other person came over and asked, "He Ting, how is Jiang Yiwei from your dormitory doing recently?"

He Ting frowned and didn't want to pay attention to this classmate.

Others gathered around and said, "We don't mean anything else. We just wanted to ask if he's coming back for the midterm exam."

"Bang!" He Ting slammed his schoolbag on the table and said unhappily, "Why do you always care so much about him? Does his exam affect yours? Even if he doesn't take the exam, you won't be able to get first place in the grade!"

"Hey, why are you talking like that? We were just asking casually, why are you so excited?"

"I think Jiang Yiwei is too embarrassed to come back. He even misjudged his own war beast's vital signs during training, causing it to suffer a sudden heart attack and die during training. The school should have expelled students like this!"

"What did you say?" He Ting stood up instantly and grabbed the student who was talking nonsense by the collar: "There is no record of Guanjun having a heart disease in his health form, and Jiang Yiwei's training that day was not excessive. He did nothing wrong!"

The classmate shook off He Ting's hand: "But that S-rank ear-horned tiger died in his hands!"

With just one sentence, He Ting suddenly lost all his strength... Yes, the champion is dead...

The students around looked at each other, then pulled each other and left quickly.

But they were not far away, so He Ting could still hear what they said next.

"Jiang Yiwei definitely won't be able to come back this time. He doesn't even have a war beast, so how can he take the exam?"

"Can someone like him apply for another war beast?"

"It seems possible, but he has to repeat a grade. Repeaters are not eligible to apply for S-class war beasts. He can only apply for A-class war beasts at best, and he has to have excellent grades in all aspects."

"Then he's not a competitor in this exam, so forget about him."

"Hey, what about Xu Xinling from Class 2? Didn't her war beast die too?"

"Xu Xinling is transferring schools. Apparently, her family doesn't want her to be a Beast Tamer anymore. They said they saw her crying so hard and felt she was too fragile to be a frontline soldier. They want her to transfer to the logistics department."

"That's a shame. Xu Xinling's grades are so good..."

The voices on the other end of the conversation grew quieter and quieter. He Ting leaned dejectedly on his chair, still thinking about the haggard face of his good friend Jiang Yiwei.

Ever since the champion's sudden death three months ago, he felt as if his soul had been drained out.

No one wants this to happen, but we can't just live our lives to the bitter end.

He Ting was thinking about how he should convince Jiang Yiwei to take the exam next week. Without a war beast, he could just skip the two subjects that required it, but he had to take the other subjects. Otherwise, he really wanted to repeat the grade...

He has already asked the teacher. Jiang Yiwei's situation means that the war beast has a hidden disease, so it is not his fault. As long as his grades are good enough and he does not have to repeat a grade, he can apply for an A-level war beast. But the prerequisite is that his grades must be good!

He Ting felt that he was almost bald, but at this moment, a girl in front of him suddenly slammed the table and stood up abruptly.

The noise was so loud that everyone in the class looked over.

The girl turned around again, looked at He Ting and asked, "He Ting, Jiang Yiwei's war beast is called Champion, right?"

He Ting was stunned and nodded subconsciously: "Yes, that's right."

The girl then asked the others, "The war beast of Xu Xinling in Class 2 is called the God of War, right?"

Other students who knew Xu Xinling also nodded: "Yeah, what's wrong?"

The girl turned her laptop screen around and said, "Beak Zoo released a video titled 'Champion and God of War.' I saw the content. It's about two S-rank white tigers..."

-

In the pitch-black dormitory, the curtains were drawn tightly.

Jiang Yiwei hadn't shaved for several days. The young boy in adolescence slept on a bed that looked like a pigsty, looking as sloppy as a beggar.

The quilt completely covered his head. He was in a daze and didn't know how long he had slept. He only knew that he didn't want to get up, not at all.

"Bang!" The door suddenly opened.

Jiang Yiwei knew that He Ting had returned, and he closed his eyes again, not wanting to face anyone.

"Yiwei, Yiwei!" He Ting rushed to the bed and pushed the person on the bed hard.

Jiang Yiwei didn't move and buried his face in the pillow.

"Jiang Yiwei! Hurry up and get up! Watch this video of Piccolo Zoo! Hurry up and watch it!"

Bic Zoo, a very familiar name. Recently, in order to cheer him up, He Ting kept talking about Bic Zoo in his ears every day and asked him to watch videos, but he didn't want to watch them. He didn't want to watch anything and didn't want to do anything.

"Look, is this a champion? Why do I feel like it looks a lot like your champion? Come and see if this is a champion!"

champion?

Jiang Yiwei was stunned. He opened his eyes and turned to look at He Ting: "What?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he realized how hoarse his voice was.

He Ting's face was full of excitement: "Look, look!"

The video floating in the air was played, and then Jiang Yiwei heard a gentle female voice in the video: "Good morning, everyone. Today I will show you our ward area... As you can see, the ward area is full."

The camera shows a small room with eight huge iron cages in two rows on the left and right.

At this time, all eight cages were open, and the woman greeted the leopard in the first cage: "Hi, Jixiang, are you awake?"

"Jixiang has been in the park for several days. His keeper will be here soon. Hey, here he comes."

As he was speaking, a somewhat shy male breeder appeared in the camera. He covered his face with his hands, not wanting the camera to capture him. Then, with his back to the camera, he stood at the door and called out, "Jixiang, let's go out for dinner. Your dining companion, Little Wolf, is already waiting for you."

Perhaps the two words "little wolf" attracted the leopard's attention. The leopard stood up and rubbed the hand of the person taking the video when passing by the door, and then followed the keeper out.

"Jixiang still eats with the little wolf now. Jixiang's exclusive breeder will take care of his three meals and medicine."

The camera continues to move inside: "This is the familiar Lingren, and Yueguang. Oh, Yueguang hasn't woken up yet, so let's be quiet."

"This is Feifan. Feifan is already eating. He's so good. Lieyan is still sleeping. Shh..."

After a while, the camera arrived in front of the last cage.

And in this cage, there are three tigers sleeping.

It can be seen that the older and dirtier one is a gray tiger, and the other two, although wrapped in many layers of bandages, can still be vaguely seen to be two white tigers.

The woman lowered her voice and said, "These are the two war beasts we rescued yesterday. The one on the left is the older brother, Champion, and the one on the right is the younger sister, War God. You can also call them by their nicknames, Dabao and Xiaobao. This is Dabao and Xiaobao's grandmother, Snowflake. Snowflake is also a retired S-rank war beast from our zoo."

The female voice said as she walked in. She then squatted beside the tired gray tiger, reached out and stroked its loose skin, then rubbed its fur. She said, "Snowflake just came down from the mountains last night. It used to live in the mountains, so it's a bit dirty. It knew Dabao and Xiaobao were here, so it came to see them. Our Grandma Snowflake must miss her children too, right?"

The girl then took out a piece of dried meat from her pocket, broke it into small pieces and fed it to Xuehua's mouth.

Xuehua opened her mouth and ate it, then licked the girl's fingers and rubbed the girl with her mouth.

"Snowflake has been with Dabao and Xiaobao all night, and she's very tired. But she didn't dare leave because Dabao and Xiaobao haven't woken up yet. I hope the two poor little guys will wake up soon and don't make grandma worry so much."

Just as he was saying this, someone seemed to come in from outside.

The camera turned again to the doctor in a white coat who came in with two IV bottles.

The doctor had a bad expression and looked at the camera coldly.

The female voice whispered, "Dr. Bree is Dabao and Xiaobao's attending physician. He thinks my video recording will disturb Xuehua and the two cubs. Okay, okay, I'll be leaving now."

The girl stood up and walked outside the cage, then she turned the camera inside.

After the doctor came in, he changed the infusion bottles for the two tiger cubs. During this period, Snowflake did not attack him and was even a little affectionate to him.

The doctor also squatted down, touched Xuehua's head, and fed the pill to Xuehua's mouth with heartache.

The female voice explained, "Snowflake was given anti-aging medicine. She needs to start taking care of herself from now on, otherwise her body functions will gradually deteriorate. Last night, Dr. Bree and I performed surgery on Dabao and Xiaobao, so we're all covered in their scent, so Snowflake is very friendly to us."

"Oh, by the way, I'm telling you that you might not believe this, but Xuehua treats Dr. Bray as her eldest grandson, but Dr. Bray treats Xuehua as her niece, so they're now living in separate ways. I call you grandma, and you call me uncle..."

When the female voice said this, Dr. Bray inside became unhappy again and turned around and waved at her frantically.

The female voice could only say, "They chased us away. Okay, okay, let's go. There will be other doctors coming to see Dabao and Xiaobao this afternoon. Don't worry, they will be professor-level experts in war beasts. We will do our best to cure Dabao and Xiaobao. I also hope that if Dabao and Xiaobao's owners see this video, they will feel at ease. Although I don't know who their owners are... Okay, that's it for today's video. See you in the next one."

The video ends here.

Jiang Yiwei looked at the black screen and was stunned.

He Ting hurriedly asked: "Is this the champion?"

Jiang Yiwei was completely confused: "Yes... he really looks like the champion... but, but..."

Jiang Yiwei wiped his face, suddenly pushed He Ting away and jumped off the bed, then went straight to his locker. When he opened the locker, he saw a large urn and a photo of Baihu inside.

But, isn't his champion already dead?

If that's the championship, then what's in here?

At the same time, on the other side of Fulka Star, Xu Xinling watched the video in front of her over and over again. After a while, she jumped out of bed and took out her suitcase.

Five minutes later, Mrs. Xu, who was downstairs, looked at her daughter coming down with a suitcase and was horrified: "Xinxin, Xinxin, where are you going?"

Xu Xinling's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and said, "God King Planet!"

After saying that, he broke free from his mother's hand and walked straight outside.

-

Three o'clock in the afternoon, in the central hall of the God King Starship.

Mu Ling was standing anxiously outside the entrance, looking around frantically.

Xiao Zhao was accompanying her and couldn't help asking, "Director, did Dr. Bray say his friend was on this starship? I saw everyone in front coming out."

Mu Ling was also puzzled: "Yeah, everyone else is out, why haven't I seen Dr. Bray's friends, Professor Xiao, Professor Chen, Professor Wang? I've seen all the photos, I didn't miss any, did you see them?"

Xiao Zhao shook his head: "I didn't see it either. I should have asked Dr. Bray to pick him up."

Mu Ling said, "That won't work. He has to look after Dabao and Xiaobao. What if there's an emergency over there? Wait a little longer. You should take a closer look."

The two continued to stand on tiptoe and look around.

Just then, a flight attendant came over and asked, "Excuse me, is this Director Mu from the Beak Zoo?"

Mu Ling was stunned and said quickly: "Yes, I am."

The flight attendant said, "The person you are picking up will go through a special passage. Please follow us."

Mu Ling didn't understand what was going on, but she still followed the flight attendant with Xiao Zhao.

Five minutes later, Mu Ling and Xiao Zhao stood in front of thirty old professors, looking weak, helpless, and pitiful...

A manager at the Starfleet Center handed over a document and said to Mu Ling with a smile, "It's like this. We've received a last-minute notice that seven directors of combat veterinary hospitals and twenty-three top-level federal experts and professors will be boarding our flight. For their safety, we've immediately activated the highest level of protection. Therefore, please sign this letter of responsibility before we can take them away."

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling looked at the document in front of her, then looked at the thirty people in front of her, her small eyes full of confusion.

Dean Wu, the leader of the group of thirty, was genuinely a little embarrassed. He came over and shook hands with Mu Ling, then said with a smile, "Director Mu, the thing is, we thought about it and felt that three people might not be enough. We asked around and found out everyone was free, so we all came together... Um, please sign this, or they won't let us go."

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling finally signed the document numbly, then she cautiously asked Xiao Zhao, "How much is the value of thirty special professors?"

Xiao Zhao whispered back, "There are only fifty-nine people with the title of Special Professor in the Federation. So if anything were to happen to these thirty people, the federal veterinary community would be devastated."

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling was about to cry: "I didn't expect Dr. Bray to be so influential, but we only drove one car here!"

Xiao Zhao said, "Let's take nine taxis. I'll take the first one, and you, the director, will take the last. We'll trap them and make it impossible for them to escape!"

Mu Ling: “…”

Well, this is the only way now...
