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 88
With the arrival of snowflakes, the originally tense atmosphere among the animals has eased a little.
All the animals inside wanted to come out, and King Kong and Dingtian outside showed their friendliness to Snowflake.
The war beasts have a strong sense of smell. Although the park is large, after staying in the Bick Jungle for a long time, the animals more or less know what kind of animals live near them.
Most war beasts, due to their mental damage, will avoid other war beasts by smell, but there are also some war beasts who don't know any better and will deliberately wander into the living areas of other war beasts.
For example, the high-armored deer.
The young and extremely greedy Greater Deer really love to pick different leaves to eat.
The leaves of different trees have different tastes. When the high-armored deer gets tired of eating the leaves in its own area, it will go to the areas of other war beasts. Because of its arrival, some war beasts will be forced to move to other areas, while some war beasts will not move. It doesn't matter, and they are indifferent to the high-armored deer's behavior of invading their territory.
The sub-endangered rhinoceros is a war animal that reacted to the invasion of the Greater Elk. A few days ago, the Greater Elk suddenly walked towards its area. It had no choice but to migrate eastward. As a result, the Greater Elk chased it wherever it walked. Finally, when it felt that the Greater Elk was no longer chasing it, it looked back and saw that the Greater Elk had fallen into the swamp. It had to find someone to rescue it.
The only war beast that did not react to the invasion of the High-Armored Deer was Snowflake.
The valley where Snowflake lives is very lush, and there is a kind of tree that only grows in that valley. For a while, the armored deer particularly liked to eat that kind of tree, so it would stand close to the face of the ear-horned gray tiger and eat it.
Seeing that the kind-hearted grandma Gray Tiger did not drive it away or leave, the armored deer became more and more demanding, deliberately stretching its neck to tease the grandma.
But no matter how it teased her, Grandma Ear-Horned Tiger was not angry.
Grandma Ear-Horned Tiger is different from other ferocious carnivorous beasts. She is old, her physical strength has declined, and her eyesight and sense of smell are not good. Therefore, when faced with provocations from other animals, she will not resist, but will just go with the flow.
After eating white rice at Grandma Ear-Horned Tiger's house for an entire autumn, Gaojialu remembered the smell of Grandma Ear-Horned Tiger when he left.
At this time, he licked Grandma Snowflake's white ears again. Before Gaojialu could taste the flavor, Snowflake seemed to have recognized Xiaodingtian. The white tiger raised its head, shook the saliva on its ears, opened its mouth and shouted: "Roar."
The sika deer twisted its long neck, sniffed here and there, and then used its nose to nudge Snowflake's back?
"Come on, Xuehua, demonstrate to King Kong and Dingtian. Come in." Mu Ling waved at Xuehua, indicating that Xuehua should go into the animal dormitory.
When Xuehua saw that it was Mu Ling calling her, she naturally walked towards her.
After Snowflake entered the animal dormitory, the Qilin inside came over first. It made gurgling sounds with its mouth and rubbed its head against Grandma Snowflake's head with its head.
Lightning Clearance and Extraordinary also came over, but Magic, Invincible and Auspicious did not recognize Grandma Snowflake. They just stood stiffly on the periphery, cautiously stretching their necks to smell over here.
"See? That's it. King Kong, Dingtian, come here." Mu Ling called the sub-dangerous rhinoceros and the high-armored deer.
The high-armored deer was heartless. Seeing that Grandma Ear-horned Tiger really went in, he tentatively followed in.
As soon as it entered, it saw a big tree in the corner.
Without any hesitation, the sika deer walked straight to the big tree and started eating.
When Magic saw it, he immediately let out a long "Ang" sound, curled his long nose, walked over, wrapped his nose around the long-necked deer's neck, and pulled it to the side.
This tree cannot be eaten. Someone will say something every time you eat from it.
The deer's neck was pulled to one side, and it thought the red mammoth was attacking it. It was startled and reflexively swung its neck towards the red mammoth!
With a "bang", the head of the sika deer was hit and it felt dizzy, but the honest red mammoth did not react at all, and its skin was not even scratched.
Gaojialu: "..."
Mu Ling shouted at this time: "Magic, it's okay, let it eat, as long as it is willing to come in."
When Mofa heard Mu Ling calling its name, it walked over, wrapped its nose around Mu Ling's arm, and held hands with her.
Mu Ling touched the magic and shouted outside: "King Kong, look, Dingtian has come in, you come in too."
But King Kong still didn't go in. He just stood outside, staring at Mu Ling with his small black eyes.
Mu Ling was so anxious that she was about to get angry. It was already 8:29. Usually they would open the door a few minutes in advance, but today they didn't even dare to open the door!
"Ancestor, what exactly do you want to do..."
Mu Ling suddenly thought of something. She pulled her hand out of Magic's nose, walked quickly to the door, and looked up at the sky.
After looking around, she quickly saw Ta Yun standing on the roof of the glass house with his chest puffed out and a look of arrogance on his face, while on the other side of the eaves, two rhinoceros birds were also squatting there.
Mu Ling suddenly had an idea and quickly opened the roof of the glass house.
As the roof opened, Tayun looked back quickly, then spread its wings and flew back home.
The two rhinoceros birds were frightened by the noise of the ceiling opening. They circled in the sky. After circling for a while, they saw the stag eating leaves. They flew to the big tree and made "dudu" sounds at the stag.
Hearing the call of his companion bird inside, King Kong limped in slowly.
Mu Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief. She hurriedly said to the others, "Okay, okay, you can open the door now."
As she said this, she quickly closed the door and the roof.
-
Suddenly, there was a sub-endangered rhinoceros and a high-armored deer in the house. The other war beasts were very curious and frequently came over there.
Especially the little wolf, who is very outgoing. He held the flat little yellow duck in his mouth and insisted on getting in front of the super tall deer, and then put the little yellow duck at the feet of the deer.
The sika deer was chewing leaves in its mouth. When it saw the wolf cub, it lowered its head to sniff the little yellow duck. It rolled up its long and thick tongue and swallowed the little yellow duck into its mouth on the spot. Then it chewed it for a while, and when it smelled a plastic smell, it spit it out and went to taste the wolf cub's ears.
It was the first time that the little wolf had its fur licked by such a long tongue. It was so scared that its ears stood up and it shrank its neck in fear.
After licking the little wolf a few times, the deer straightened its neck and continued to eat leaves. After taking two bites, it suddenly felt something was wrong, so it turned its head and saw the red elephant that had stood behind it again without knowing when.
Magic feels wronged because it cannot eat these leaves, but the giraffe can.
The red elephant stretched out its trunk, wrapped around the tail of the armored deer, and gently pulled it.
The deer wiggled its tail. It saw that the red elephant did not attack it this time, and it was actually a little afraid of this big guy. So the deer sensibly stood aside, leaving a place for the red elephant, and let its sister eat first.
The armored deer and the red-armored elephant became acquainted with each other after a fight.
And the other side.
The sub-endangered rhinoceros was carrying two rhinoceros birds and squatting cautiously in an open space.
The sub-endangered rhinoceros is observing, observing the ecology in this large space.
At this time, a black-headed lion approached it.
The two rhinoceros birds screamed instantly, and the sub-endangered rhinoceros also stared at the black-headed lion sharply, motionless.
The black-headed lion sniffed in the direction of the sub-endangered rhinoceros, looked closely at the sub-endangered rhinoceros's right hind leg, and then slowly walked past the sub-endangered rhinoceros.
The black-headed lion left, and the sub-dangerous rhinoceros was about to relax his vigilance, but saw the black-headed lion coming back again.
Then, the tarantula left, and the tarantula came. The tarantula walked from the left side of the sub-endangered rhinoceros to its right side, and then from its right side to its left side...
The sub-endangered rhinoceros had no idea what the black-headed lion was doing, but saw that after walking for a long time, the black-headed lion came over again, sniffed its right hind leg carefully, and then continued to walk in front of it.
"It's teaching you how to walk." When Mu Ling came in with the faucet, she saw Pimi and King Kong. She walked forward with a smile, touched Pimi's big lion head, and then said gently to King Kong:
"Your feet are broken, aren't they? Pimi saw that you couldn't walk, so it wanted to teach you how to walk. It took it a long time to rehabilitate itself before it could walk. It couldn't even stand up for a while."
King Kong didn't know what Mu Ling was talking about. He just looked at Mu Ling and then at the black-headed lion.
Although the smells in this big house are complex, most of them are familiar to King Kong. He has smelled them in the mountains, so he is not particularly afraid. However, it is the first time he has smelled the smell of the tarantula, so he is very alert.
Mu Ling patted King Kong's big head again, then turned around, gave Pi Mi a mua kiss, stood up, and went to Gao Jialu with the faucet.
Mu Ling had already taken a shower and changed her clothes, but Dingtian fell into the swamp yesterday and there was still a lot of mud on his body. Mu Ling planned to rinse it off.
When Mu Ling was flushing Dingtian, Mo Fa came over to play with the water. Mu Ling rolled her eyes and then smiled. She pointed the faucet at Mo Fa's nose, letting it suck up the water fiercely. Then she pointed at the mud on the high-armored deer and said, "Come on, Mo Fa, spray here!"
"Puff!" Mo Fa sprayed all the water onto Mu Ling!
Mu Ling: “…”
Seeing this, the other animals around quickly moved away from Mu Ling to avoid being splashed with water.
Mu Ling: “…………”
-
After two days of inspection, the fleet manager finally settled with Mu Ling. The two parties signed a contract, stipulating that the fleet would move in two days later.
Two days later, a large number of team members completely replaced the original keepers, and the keepers were divided into five teams as Mu Ling had said before. Except for the fifth team which belonged to the nursery team, each keeper was assigned an animal area in the other four teams.
The specific distribution and who was responsible for what were decided by Mu Ling, the four team leaders, and Brother Wei and Brother Xiang in a meeting. After the distribution, no one had any objections.
After solving the staffing problem, the next issue is the issue of opening to the number of tourists.
But on this issue, Mu Ling had a new idea.
"A second service area?" Mu Ling expressed her idea at the cadre meeting. Wei Li, who was sitting opposite her, looked surprised and asked, "We're going to build it now?"
Mu Ling said cheerfully, "It will be built sooner or later. Now that we've found a good spot, I think we can put it on the agenda. Our war beasts are all wild animals after all. They can live in animal quarters for a short period of time, but they'll definitely feel cramped for a long time. So I plan to slowly let them return to the forest."
Dr. Bray, also a member of the cadre meeting, immediately spoke up, "But most of the visitors to the zoo now come for the war beasts. If you let them return to the forest and tourists can't see them anymore, will they still come?"
Dr. Bray certainly wants the beasts to return to the forest, but the zoo still needs to operate. He heard that the previous Beak Zoo closed down because tourists couldn't see the animals...
Mu Ling smiled when she heard this: "My second service area is specifically used for visiting war beasts."
Mu Ling said as she turned on her computer and pulled up a map of the park. She pointed to an area and said, "This is the swamp forest where the roof collapsed earlier. Our keepers have been transplanting trees from other places to surround this swamp forest these past few days, and the place I asked them to dig the trees is right here..."
Mu Ling slowly slid her finger downwards, and her fingertip finally settled on another location on the map. She looked at Xiang Bie: "Brother Xiang, does this place look familiar?"
Xiang Bie looked at the place circled in red by Mu Ling, was silent for a moment, and raised his eyebrows: "Where did you find Dingtian that night?"
"Yes!" Mu Ling nodded heavily, then enlarged a small area and showed everyone the actual photos of that area.
"I've observed this area. It's about fifty acres in radius, all flat grassland. Although there are some slopes, it's basically flat. Then there's a rambling forest on the right, and beyond the forest, there's another thirty or forty acres of flat land sloping downhill. I'm having everyone dig up trees here. Once we've dug up some more, and only one-third of the trees are left, then the two empty grasslands can actually be connected. The total area of the entire area is close to one hundred acres!"
Mu Ling continued, "Look, this hundred acres of land has trees, hills, and a stream at the foot of the hills. The entire environment is open and natural. Isn't this a natural second service area?"
Dr. Bray frowned. "It would certainly be nice for the war beasts to live here, but how are the tourists supposed to visit?"
Mu Ling said, "My construction idea is this: let's assume this hundred acres is a square. I plan to build a cross-shaped glass corridor directly in the middle of the square. Of course, it won't be a perfect cross, but will have different heights and a skybridge. This way, animals can roam freely under the skybridge."
"But overall, it's a cross-shaped corridor. The middle section of the corridor could be enlarged to become a second supermarket and restaurant. Visitors would enter from the corridor entrance on the lower left corner, walk along while viewing the war beasts on both sides, and when they reach the middle, they could shop, eat, and use the restroom. Finally, they would exit from the lower right corner, take the shuttle bus, and continue down the mountain the other way."
Mu Ling drew out her ideas and layout for everyone to see. Looking at it this way, it was indeed worth visiting, and the living area of the war beasts was indeed larger and could run around.
Mu Ling said, "At that time, tourists will come to the park in the morning, go up the mountain to visit the animals along the way, visit the war beasts in the second service area at noon, go down the mountain in the afternoon, continue to visit the animals along the way, and then spend the last hour visiting the war beasts in the war beast nursery in the first service area. I think they should still come. Even if there are no war beasts, our local animals are also very popular. I see people often urging the arrival of smaller pigs, brown deer, golden rabbits, and so on online."
Professor Sun nodded and smiled, "All the animals in our park are cute."
Mu Ling also smiled and said, "My main purpose is to allow the war beasts to live more freely. When the hundred acres of land are taken care of, we will build a parking lot. When our staff travel between the two service areas, they won't have to take the mountain road. They can just hover and fly in just ten minutes."
"What if it rains?" Wei Li asked, "Director, are you willing to let your babies get wet in the rain? When they lived in the mountains, they also found caves to live in, but there are no caves here."
Mu Ling said, "Let's build a canopy, the kind with automatic sensing. It will automatically open when it senses rain and stay closed at other times."
Seeing that she had thought it through, Xiang Bie said, "I think it's okay."
Dr. Bray said, "In that case, I agree. However, this glass house, along with the supermarket, restaurant, and restrooms, might be difficult to build. The sewage system must be well-maintained, otherwise it will pollute the mountain environment."
Professor Sun then said, "The husband of one of my students works in sewage treatment. They have a new technology that can automatically separate sewage. The effective components are directly processed into fertilizer powder, which can be sold, and the ineffective components are directly incinerated to produce thermal fuel for power generation."
"Right!" Wei Li said, "It's difficult to generate electricity in the mountains. We can only rely on wind, fire, water, and solar power. Relying on nature is always unreliable. We must have more fuel for power generation!"
Xiang Bie said: "There is a stream nearby, and there must be a river ahead. When the time comes, we can open up a special area for hydroelectric power generation, which will be enough to supply the second service area."
Mu Ling watched as everyone started discussing this. With a smile on her face, she asked, "So everyone agrees, right?"
Professor Sun looked at Mu Ling with a smile: "Xiao Mu, you are the headmaster."
Dr. Bray also said, "The director has the final say."
Wei Li agreed with both hands: "I think it's a good idea too. It's about building a glass corridor, but we definitely can't use the glass material used in animal dormitories. That kind of glass is originally used for capsule rooms and is not durable. Since we want to build it properly, let's use real bulletproof glass. The cost may be six or seven times higher, but it should be built fairly quickly, just over a month. It doesn't look complicated to me."
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling looked at Brother Wei dimly: "How many times?"
"Seven or eight times." Wei Li said innocently, "Oh, if the director wants a better one, that's fine. I'll look for some information on that later!"
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling lowered her head and began to count the money. After a long while, she asked cautiously, "Can I...pay in installments?"
Wei Li: “…”
Wei Li thought that although the zoo director was very rich, rich enough to buy such a large jungle zoo, he was a stingy person. He could only helplessly say: "It should be possible. Nowadays, you can buy a computer in 24 installments."
Mu Ling gritted her teeth and said, "Let's build it! Even if it costs seven or eight times as much, I'll build it! I'm risking it!"
-
The employees learned about the construction of the second service area during dinner that night. When they heard that the director was going to spend a lot of money, they immediately thought that the director was a rich woman and expressed their anticipation.
After finishing her meal, Mu Ling immediately went into the animal dormitory with her laptop. After filming, she posted four videos that day.
She will update ten chapters a day from now on, and she will definitely get the money from the platform's playback volume!
The news that there were two new animals in the animal dormitory of the Beek Zoo today has long been spread on the Internet. Tourists who visited this afternoon have already taken photos of the bones of the armored deer and the sub-endangered rhinoceros.
However, the photos taken by netizens through the glass are always different from the photos taken by the principal from his first-person perspective.
Apart from anything else, the principal's first-person perspective is interactive.
Lin Ya is a loyal fan of Piccolo Zoo. After dinner today, her husband was washing dishes, so she sat on the sofa and watched videos. While watching, she saw her wife’s update!
Lin Ya immediately sat up straight and clicked on the video.
In the video, a gray-white rhino appears in the middle of the screen.
Lin Ya is an intern veterinarian, so she naturally recognized that this was a sub-endangered rhinoceros. She saw that the sub-endangered rhinoceros in the picture was lying in the same place, but in front of it, the black-headed lion was walking back and forth in front of it. After walking for a while, seeing that the sub-endangered rhinoceros could not get up at all, the black-headed lion became angry and roared at the sub-endangered rhinoceros.
The sub-raptor looked a little depressed. It glanced at the black-headed lion with its small eyes, and finally managed to stand up with difficulty.
The black-headed lion walked forward at this time. The sub-dangerous rhinoceros looked at it and took a step forward sadly.
The black-headed lion walked forward again, but the sub-dangerous rhinoceros did not move forward this time.
The black-headed lion thought that his demonstration was wrong, so in order to restore it 100%, he lifted his right hind leg and pretended that his right hind leg was also lame, then he limped forward on three legs and looked at the sub-endangered rhinoceros after he finished walking.
Sub-dangerous rhinoceros: “…”
"Puchi." In the voice-over, Lin Ya heard her wife's laughter.
Lin Ya's mouth corners were almost curled up to the sky, and she also covered her mouth and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Lin Ya's husband came out of the kitchen and asked casually.
Lin Ya quickly shared the video with him. "It's the video from the Piccolo Zoo. I've seen this sub-endangered rhino in other people's videos. I heard it's called King Kong. He's so cute. Of course, Pimi is super cute too!"
Lin Ya’s husband Wen Yu was stunned. He walked over in two steps, looked at the sub-endangered rhinoceros, and fell silent.
Lin Ya noticed that her husband's expression was not right and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wen Yu smiled bitterly: "So this is what it looks like."
Lin Ya was puzzled: "What happened?"
Wen Yu didn't say anything, but just made a call to his father.
Lin Ya was a little surprised when she saw the name on the call. Wen Yu's parents had been divorced for many years. Wen Yu lived with his mother, and his relationship with his father had always been bad. What happened?
It took a long time for the call to be connected, and then Lin Ya heard her father-in-law's voice: "Hello."
Then her husband's voice came: "Did you know that your King Kong's leg is injured?"
The other side was stunned for a moment, and then immediately asked: "Xiao Lin told you?"
Lin Ya stood there with a puzzled look on her face. What did this have to do with her?
Wen Yu raised his chin and said, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you should pay more attention to your war beast and stop being so out of tune. Hey, you didn't care about me and my mom before, and now you don't care about your war beast. What kind of person are you..."
"Bang!" The call was immediately disconnected.
Wen Yu: “…”
Lin Ya: “…”
Seeing this, Lin Ya was about to comfort her husband when suddenly, her laptop started ringing. She looked at the caller ID...
After carefully answering the call, Lin Ya said to the other end, "Dad?"
On the other end, Wenyu's father's voice was incredibly kind. "Xiaolin, I heard from that brat Wenyu that you've seen King Kong? Dad always thought you were a promising kid. You've only been a veterinary intern for two years, and you're already in contact with war beasts? Our Wenyu is so lucky to marry you... Xiaolin, what happened to King Kong? Why is it injured? Was it abused? How did you know? Is the King Kong you're talking about a thirty-year-old sub-endangered rhinoceros? Were you just born with the same name?"
Lin Ya: “…”
Hearing Wen Yu's voice: "..."
Lin Ya said with tears in her eyes, "Dad, I'm sorry. I'm useless. I can't even get in touch with war beasts. As for King Kong, I learned about it from watching videos. You can watch the videos on Starnet. It's about the Beak Zoo. Just search it."
Wen Yu's father didn't know how to use the Star Network very well, so Lin Ya taught him for a long time before the other party hung up the phone.
On the other side, Wen Yu's father, Admiral Wen Shu, hung up the phone and began to clumsily type "Bik...K..." word by word.
"Ding ding ding." A group chat box suddenly popped up above.
Thinking it was a work group, Admiral Wen Shu didn't take it seriously and continued to tap "Move..."
"Ding ding ding." The group message rang again.
"Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding." The group message was ringing like crazy!
Admiral Wen Shu thought something had happened and was shocked. He quickly clicked in to see that it was an unfamiliar group.
In the group, a group of strangers are chatting.
Lieutenant Colonel Song: [Three! Three!]
Lieutenant General Milo: [Four! Four videos!]
Commander Duan: [Why did Director Mu post so many videos today? This doesn't seem like her.]
Colonel Val: [Diarrhea update! I'm suddenly panicking. Will she ship out all her stock at once and stop shipping in the future?]
Lieutenant Herman: [@Lieutenant Colonel Song, congratulations, you made a lot of appearances today.]
Lieutenant Colonel Song: [Hehehehe, congratulations to @Commander Duan, both the third and fourth videos have magic!]
Commander Duan: [Congratulations, everyone.]
Commander Duan has sent out a [Lucky Red Packet of 100 Interstellar Coins], come and grab it.
Colonel Val grabbed 9 interstellar coins.
Lieutenant Colonel Herman grabbed 8 interstellar coins.
Lieutenant General Milo grabbed 0.02 interstellar coins.
Lieutenant Colonel Song grabbed 10 interstellar coins.
Lieutenant Colonel Song: [Looks like I'm the lucky one, hahahaha.]
Wen Shangjiang will grab 69 interstellar coins.
Others: “…”
Admiral Wen Shu: “…”
Admiral Wen Shu sent a voice message: "Um... who are you? Who am I? Where is this? Thank you for the red envelope. May good people live a peaceful life."
