Chapter 92

"That's good, that's good!"

Mu Ling suddenly breathed a sigh of relief!

If Brother Xiang is really a legal expert, she really doesn't know what to do.

Xiang Bie looked at her, who looked like she had survived a disaster, with a cold expression, and continued to stare at her.

Mu Ling, having let go of the heavy burden in her heart, was feeling cheerful. But as she turned her head, the corners of her mouth that had been raised immediately fell. She asked cautiously, "Is there anything else?"

Xiang Bie's face darkened: "Nothing else you want to ask?"

Mu Ling: “…”

Item: “………………”

Okay, not really!

Xiang Bie turned around and continued to feed grass to Magic, not wanting to talk anymore.

Mu Ling looked at his back, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "Brother Xiang, you've already told me the answers to some questions. Didn't you say before that your name means parting with the past and never looking back?"

Xiang Bie was stunned and turned around.

Mu Ling smiled and said, "So, I really have no doubts anymore. Everything is clear now."

You must have been through something very difficult, which is why you gave up the honor of being a marshal, changed your identity and became another person, living the simplest and most frugal life. You no longer want to talk about your past, and you no longer want to look back. So why should I dig deep and expose your scars?

Perhaps Mu Ling's tone was too serious, Xiang Bie looked at her like this for a long time.

Then, he said "hmm" softly.

Seeing that he was no longer obsessed, Mu Ling said, "Let's just live well in the present. I won't treat you differently because of your past identity. Let's get along like before, okay?"

Xiang Bie looked at her, his eyes slowly softening: "Okay."

Mu Ling said, "Then remember to sweep the floor after you finish feeding the grass, change the water in the sink, and clean the sink as well."

Category: "..."

Until the glass door closed again, Xiang Bie looked at Mu Ling's back as she left, and his brows suddenly furrowed deeply.

Why did he think that she, who repeatedly emphasized that the past was not important and the present was important, was afraid that he would rely on the halo of his former marshal and not work, and specifically reminded him that he was nothing now and as long as he did not break the law, he had to work until he was old?

After feeding the last handful of grass to the already impatient red elephant, Xiang Bie resigned himself to picking up the broom and began to sweep the broken grass on the ground.

After a while, Wei Li sneaked in and asked in a low voice, "Brother Xiang, did the director just interrogate you?"

Xiang Bie said coldly: "No."

Wei Li frowned. "Then why did you two talk for so long? Brother Xiang, don't hide it from me. The headmaster must have forced you to do it."

Category: "..."

Xiang Bie didn't want to talk to him as he had to clean the sink soon.

Wei Li was extremely anxious. "It's over, it's over! Are we now unable to stay at the Beak Zoo? Will the director kick us out? Has she hinted at such an intention?"

"No." Xiang Bie saw that Wei Li was indeed too anxious, so he had to explain: "She said that everything is normal."

Wei Li's eyes lit up. "Really? Is everything normal? Did she not find out, or did she find out, but is kind-hearted and doesn't discriminate against you being a marshal and me being a lieutenant colonel?"

Category: "..."

discriminate……

Wei Li sighed again, "Actually, I became a lieutenant colonel because I was young and ignorant. Now it's like I have a cyber criminal record. Now I have to behave myself wherever I go..."

As he spoke, Wei Li looked at Xiang Bie again: "But if we talk about being miserable, you're the one who's suffered the most. You hold a higher position than me, so you have to be nicer to the headmaster in the future. You must never make her angry. You must obey her in everything. Otherwise, if she gets upset, she'll report us and we'll have no choice but to flee!"

Wei Li felt uncomfortable when he thought about having to live a precarious life and hiding from place to place again. He shook his head, put his hands behind his back, and slowly left the glass house.

Category: "..."

Xiang Bie almost laughed out of anger.

-

At first, Wei Li was really worried that he would be driven away.

It was not until the next day that the director allowed him to place orders and count goods as usual, did not abolish his position as general manager, and did not withhold chicken legs from him when he ate lunch boxes after work. Only then did Wei Li finally believe that the director really did not intend to make things difficult for them.

Wei Li finally breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately became visibly cheerful.

-

The opening of the War Beast Nursery has caused a stir on the Star Network, but after all, there are only two animals, so the popularity is still limited.

However, what puzzled netizens was that they had clearly asked the breeder, and both the Snow Bear Killing and the Nine-Needle Pig Devouring were adult war beasts, so why was this place called a war beast nursery?

It sounds like a place where young animals are raised.

Mu Ling happened to see this comment and responded online: [Because every war beast is a baby.]

Immediately after her reply, netizens posted comments.

[Hahahaha, so that's how it is. That's right, of course the war beasts are all babies. The place where the babies live is a nursery. There's nothing wrong with that!]

[Are you free to reply but not post a video? Please update! 】

[The director has been very productive recently, so I won't push for more updates. Just wondering when the damage values for the other beasts will be posted?]

I'd like to know when the remaining animals will be opened in the War Beast Nursery, which has ten glass houses. I'm buying a ticket for the day after tomorrow. Will I be able to see any new animals?

Mu Ling frowned when she saw this reply, and asked Wei Li while eating, "Brother Wei, will the A-level desert colt from the Jiama Zoo on Jiama Star arrive today?"

Because Mu Ling was afraid that if all ten war beasts from the nursery came at once, they would not be able to take care of them, so they decided to send one every one to two weeks. Now the Nine-Needle Pig has been here for more than a week, and the conditions of both the Snow Bear and the Nine-Needle Pig are getting better every day, so they arranged for the next war beast to come. However, the Desert Colt, which should have been delivered two days ago, has not been seen yet.

The people at the Jiama Zoo said that the humans and the foals had already boarded the starship, but the starship must have encountered a meteorite wave and was delayed.

But even if it's late, it can't be this late.

Wei Li was now being held captive by the director, and he no longer complained that he, the general manager, acted like a handyman. As soon as the director gave the order, he immediately stopped eating and quickly took out his laptop to contact the people at the Jiama Zoo.

Mu Ling looked at him in a state of confusion: "Eat first, there's no need to rush for a few minutes."

Wei Li hurriedly said, "Your humble servant, Wei Li, swears to serve Your Majesty with unwavering loyalty and dedication! I will sacrifice my life for His Majesty, even if it means death! It's just a simple breakfast, so I don't need to eat it!"

Mu Ling: “…”

Wei Li called through his laptop, but no one answered. He frowned, took a bite of his meat bun, and muttered, "What's going on?"

Mu Ling asked, "Was the one who was beaten the Desert Horse's breeder?"

"Yes." Wei Li said, "Last night, the Jiama Zoo gave me the keeper's contact number, but no one answered when I called. I thought he fell asleep in the middle of the night and didn't notice."

Mu Ling frowned: "Let's fight later, just keep an eye on it."

Wei Li said, "Okay."

Wei Li was busy with things at the service area the whole morning, and communicated with the people in the team in the middle. When he was free again, he called again, but the call had gone from no one answering to the phone being turned off.

Can the optical computer be shut down?

You're not a soldier, why would you turn off your computer for no reason?

Wei Li was feeling suspicious when he saw a piece of news suddenly pop up above his computer screen.

Wei Li took a quick look and his expression changed. The news headline read: U33 starship has been missing for over 39 hours. The Federal Bureau said it has opened a case for investigation.

U33 starship, isn’t this the starship that goes from Jama Star to Shenwang Star?

Wei Li looked unhappy. He walked towards the animal dormitory while making a call.

When Mu Ling heard the news, she was changing King Kong's dressing with Dr. Bree. Upon hearing the news, she looked up at Brother Wei and asked, "Missing?"

Wei Li said, "Yes, the news has been released, and it's the number one trending search on Starnet. Some people in the comment section said they encountered rebels, and some said they encountered interstellar pirates. But the official news said that U33 disappeared near a meteorite wave, so it's possible that it was hit by a meteorite wave. It's not ruled out that the starship crashed and everyone on board was wiped out..."

Mu Ling's face turned ugly. She asked, "Has the Jiama Zoo found out?"

"I just called to ask, and they just found out about it too. It's all a mess now."

Mu Ling exhaled. At this moment, there was nothing they could do. They could only say, "Keep watching."

Perhaps because the fact of the starship's disappearance was too big, under the constant pressure from netizens and family members, the government issued the latest announcement in less than 12 hours, stating that the starship was not hit by a meteorite wave and crashed, because all planets near the meteorite wave had been checked and no starship wreckage was found.

As soon as this news came out, netizens and family members all breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the starship did not break into pieces, at least the people were still alive. So where did the starship go?

By the next morning, the popularity of this matter had increased from a few hot searches yesterday to the top 20 of the entire hot search list, which was full of related terms.

On the third and fourth days, the heat continued to increase.

On the fifth day, seeing that the people were almost cursing the government for not finding the person, a new announcement finally appeared. The announcement stated that the U33 starship had been found and its location was Nurha. The starship had suffered extensive damage due to the emergency landing and the military was making every effort to rescue it.

After that, the announcements were mostly good news.

Five hundred people have been rescued so far.

One thousand people have been rescued.

All passengers and crew members, a total of 3,091 people, have been rescued, 386 of whom were slightly injured, 103 were seriously injured, and no one died.

The President has arrived in Nurhasing to personally express his condolences and concern for the injured people.

At this point, things finally had a good outcome. Everyone thanked God that no one died. This is a blessing in disguise!

Just when everyone thought this matter was finally over.

"Nurha Star" once again topped the trending search list.

The entry is - Emergency! A large number of exotic beasts have been discovered on Nurha Planet, and all entrances and exits to the planet are now blocked!

Mu Ling looked at this trending search, then looked at the comment section that was instantly exploding with activity. She was silent for a moment, then turned and looked at Brother Xiang who was sitting next to her.

Xiang Bie was also looking at the computer, and seemed to have noticed Mu Ling's gaze. He said calmly, "A trap."

Mu Ling said nothing.

Xiang Bie looked at her: "The U33 starship is a bait, and the target is the president. It's too obvious."

Yes, it is indeed too obvious. The suspicious disappearance happened at a time when people's patience was about to run out. So even if it was to appease the people, the president would have to go to Nurha Star in person to express his condolences. And this is the purpose behind it.

Mu Ling looked at Brother Xiang next to her. She had looked up information about "Marshal Xiang" and naturally found out about his relationship with the President's wife... He was the President's wife's nephew, which meant that the President was his uncle...

"You..." Mu Ling tried to say something.

Xiang Bie turned off the light brain, stood up and said, "I'm going to patrol the mountain."

After saying that, he walked out.

Mu Ling looked at Brother Xiang's back, then looked at the computer, her expression becoming colder and colder.

She didn't understand national affairs or the power struggles among the powerful. She only knew that the current Nurha Star was just like the Xuan Gu Star a year ago, with a wave of strange beasts artificially created.

Many people will die...

-

The blood-red desert horse raised its high hooves.

The black mane swayed violently in the night wind.

"Hiss!" The angry snort represents a warning and a threat.

"Tramp, tramp!" The desert colt kicked a mutant dog away. When the mutant dog turned around to bite it, it kicked it again and kicked the mutant dog to the side of the road in the distance. Then it ran over and stomped on the mutant dog until it turned it into meat paste.

A mutant dog died, but in the dark night, there were more mutant beasts lurking in the shadows.

Suddenly, a moderately infected cat with six legs fell from the sky. With a shrill cry, it jumped onto the back of the desert colt and was about to bite through its flesh!

The desert horse sensed the enemy on its back and began to swing its body frantically, trying to throw the enemy away.

But the mutant cat's claws had already dug into its flesh. The desert colt let out a high-pitched neigh, and the next second...

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out from behind.

Bright red blood flowed from the mutant cat's body, and it instantly fell to the side and landed on the ground with a plop.

The desert colt quickly turned around and kicked the mutant cat, but at this moment, its neck was suddenly caught!

The reins were restraining it, and it struggled hard, but was only pulled tighter.

"Whose war beast is this? Where's the owner?"

Senior Colonel Yin Lingyun clutched his long sniper rifle, angrily pointing it at the strange war beast that shouldn't be in this search area, his face stern and grim: "Who is its owner!"

At this time, the soldier next to him stepped forward and said, "Colonel, this isn't a war beast from our army. It seems to be the retired war beast from the U33 starship?"

Yin Lingyun was stunned: "Why is a retired war beast here?"

Another soldier said, "Its keeper was injured. It was originally kept in the safe zone, but I don't know how it escaped..."

Yin Lingyun frowned: "Take it back quickly!"

The two soldiers holding the ropes immediately pulled the desert horse back, but the desert horse began to go crazy. It kicked the humans around it accurately and neighed continuously!

"Ahhhh!" At this moment, a man's scream rang out from the residential building next door.

Because strange beasts suddenly invaded Nurha Star, the government urgently called on all citizens not to go out and close the doors and windows, but it seems that strange beasts still ran in!

Yin Lingyun immediately rushed into the building with two beastmasters. There were seven people and two beasts in their group, and they were responsible for searching the six nearby streets.

Five people and two beasts ran upstairs, while the other two soldiers still held the desert horse and stood guard downstairs.

After a while, the sound of an ambulance was heard in the distance, and five people and two beasts from upstairs came down. One of the soldiers was carrying a wounded middle-aged man on his back. When the ambulance stopped, he hurriedly put the man on the ambulance.

After the ambulance left, Yin Lingyun looked at the desert horse with a headache again and said to the two soldiers holding the rope, "No matter what method you use, bring it back quickly."

Two soldiers tried hard to pull the struggling desert horse.

Yin Lingyun's subordinates looked at the war dogs and leopards in their team and couldn't help complaining, "Colonel, is it really true that we can't apply for war birds? But we're used to using war birds!"

The owners of the war dogs and war leopards nodded hurriedly. When they followed the colonel before, the war birds would lead the way and the others would follow behind.

It was obvious that when they were clearing out the planet 917, the colonel was in charge there personally and they all had war birds to use. However, they were fighting well on the front line of 917 when they were suddenly transferred to Nurha planet. As soon as they arrived, due to the urgency of the matter, the war beasts were not distributed evenly, and their team had serious shortcomings.

The war dog's master said, "Without the war birds as scouts and vanguards, the war dogs and war leopards are very likely to be injured in surprise attacks. Colonel, please apply again."

Yin Lingyun said with a cold expression, "Nurha Star is too large. If we want to control the spread of the alien beast tide from the beginning, we need a large number of war beasts to disperse and search. War beasts are in short supply now. Many teams even have only one war beast. Don't be picky."

Several people also understood this truth, but who wouldn't feel sorry for their war beasts? Their war dogs and war leopards are all B-level, and their killing power is not strong. If they are besieged by mutant beasts, they will be easily injured. Just look at the mutant cat just now, it was moderately infected. Their war dogs and war leopards were bitten by the moderately infected beasts. Once the toxin penetrates, they might suffer nerve damage!

"Then can I apply for an S-class or A-class one?"

Yin Lingyun continued searching forward, touching his military computer. After a moment, he said, "S-level and A-level? I've seen 193 teams without a single war beast. You might all be transferred soon."

Several people were dumbfounded. What? They wanted to transfer one more person just like that?

One of the subordinates said, "If I had known earlier, I should have kept that desert horse!"

Yin Lingyun's face darkened: "That's a retired war beast!"

The subordinate remembered that the colonel's own warbird, Stepping Cloud, had also been retired, so he immediately shut up and continued the search.

At the same time, at the Nurha Star Combat Headquarters.

The military commander of Nurha Planet was already swamped. He looked at the map and saw that the area they had searched was less than one percent of the entire planet. His face turned pale. He asked, "What did Director Chai from the Security Department say? When will the president be evacuated? It's been a whole day!"

The major general next to him said helplessly, "That Chief Chai said this is clearly a trap set for the president. If they evacuate rashly, they might fall into the trap. So until they can be 100% sure there is no risk in evacuating, they can only remain still."

The admiral was very nervous. If something happened to the president in his jurisdiction, he would be held responsible!

The general gritted his teeth and said, "Send two more teams to protect the president!"

The major general gestured to his subordinates, and after they left, he asked again, "Everyone down there is urging us to get the Beast Tamers here. When will they be deployed? The search team is desperately short of war beasts!"

"Don't you know there's a shortage? Where can I get them? I even called in Yin Lingyun's entire regiment from the 917 front. He's quite experienced in this kind of battle, but his regiment doesn't have many war beasts. The garrisons on other planets don't dare to move either. There are quite a few support troops that can be mobilized, but there really aren't many beast tamers among them!"

The Major General whispered, "A year ago, Xuan Gu Star suffered such heavy losses because we failed to control the spread of the alien beasts in the first place. We must not repeat the same mistake this time. We must have enough war beasts!"

"Enough? How can we provide enough? It would take tens of thousands of war beasts to be enough!"

The major general suddenly thought of something and said, "We have a few zoos here. I'll have my subordinates contact them. They have some retired war beasts..."

"Are you crazy?" The general's face suddenly turned ugly. "The retired war beasts are already dying of illness. You dare to have ideas about them? You can expect to be court-martialed!"

The major general was stunned for a moment, then lost his temper: "That's right, these zoos are not Beak Zoo..."

"Beek Zoo..." the Admiral murmured, looking at the Major General: "Beek Zoo, can you transfer it?"

The Major General hesitated again. "That's impossible. After all, they are retired war beasts... and there aren't many of them, only about a dozen S-rank ones..."

Only a dozen S-level ones?

Before the incident, there was only one S-class war beast in their entire Nurha planet!

The Admiral muttered, "An S-class war beast can smell the scent of an alien beast within a hundred kilometers. A dozen of them would be over a thousand kilometers."

He pointed at the map and said, "One team brings one S-class war beast. Ten S-class war beasts can catch up with the workload of a hundred teams now!"

The Major General said, "Then, ask?"

The admiral pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked to the command center next door.

-

At three o'clock in the middle of the night, Mu Ling was sleeping in a daze when she suddenly heard the computer buzzing.

She frowned, opened it and saw that it was Director Wang.

Mu Ling answered vaguely: "Hello?"

Director Wang spoke quickly, "Director Mu, I remember your park's war beasts were once loaned to the army stationed on Divine King Star?"

Mu Ling propped herself up and sat up, not knowing why Director Wang suddenly asked this. She said, "I borrowed it. What's wrong?"

"Nothing happened to the war beast at that time, right?"

Mu Ling replied: "No."

"Then do you think, given their current physical condition, they can be seconded again?"

Mu Ling was stunned and asked directly: "Who is it seconded to?"

Director Wang was silent for a moment, then said, "Nurha Star."

Mu Ling's breathing stagnated.

Director Wang hurriedly said, "You can refuse. I said, everything is based on the war beast's body and your judgment."

Mu Ling didn't understand: "Why are you asking me to borrow it? Doesn't the military district have war beasts?"

"We don't have enough war beasts," Director Wang said. "Even if we're borrowing them, we have to ensure that other planets have capable beast control troops. So we can't borrow all the war beasts. There aren't many on a planet like this. The ones at headquarters and the support troops have already been borrowed. Nurha Planet is a fairly large planet, so if we want to clear the entire planet as quickly as possible, we'll need a lot of war beasts. Lots and lots of them."

Mu Ling fell silent for a moment. After a moment, she pursed her lips and said, "I can borrow it, but I must ensure that my war beast is not in danger."

"I absolutely guarantee that your war beasts will only conduct reconnaissance, and humans will do the fighting! Your war beasts will not be allowed to engage in direct combat with alien beasts."

Mu Ling smiled bitterly. Major Chang said the same thing last time, but at that time Qilin, Lightning, and Qingjiao still joined forces to kill two mutant tigers and fought.

However, can she really remain indifferent when she sees the news about Nurha Star every day?

Exhaling, Mu Ling said, "Okay, but I still need to ask their owners. If their owners don't want to..."

"Don't worry about this, the military will communicate."

Mu Ling thought that the owner of the war beast was also a soldier, so she could only say, "Okay."

An hour later, the military's starship stopped at the service area square of the Beak Zoo. Major Chang personally led a team to pick up the people, and his soldiers were moving the cages out of the warship.

Seeing this, Mu Ling said, "No need for a cage."

As she spoke, she stood at the door of the glass house and began to count the troops.

"Qilin, come out!"

The confused Tearing Tiger suddenly heard the military command "go", which it had not heard for a long time. It looked up at Mu Ling in confusion, then yawned, walked over and sat next to Mu Ling.

Mu Ling touched its head and said, "Lightning, come out!"

The black leopard swung its tail and came over. It sat on the other side of Mu Ling and looked up at her.

Mu Ling touched it again and continued, "Clear it, get out!"

Qingjiao seemed to realize something. She lowered her head and licked the wolf cub's fur. Then she grabbed the sleeping wolf cub's head, dragged the wolf cub to Gus's side, and then walked towards Mu Ling.

"Moonlight, come out!"

Moonlight climbed up holding the teddy bear in his mouth.

"No toys allowed, we're going to war! Put them down!"

"Plop!" The little bear fell to the ground. Moonlight understood the command "put it down". It nudged the little bear doll with its pointed nose, then walked towards Mu Ling with grievance. After walking over, it put its head on Mu Ling again.

Mu Ling hugged it and said, "Pimi, come out!"

Pimi stood up swiftly. Now he is the physical education teacher, and he walks very agilely.

"Magic, out!"

"Ang!" The magic long nose was raised, and he walked over with heavy steps.

"Tread on the clouds and get out!"

With a long cry, the heroic ferry eagle came galloping and landed skillfully on Mu Ling's arm.

"Extraordinary, come out!"

The purple electric baboon made a cry and ran towards Mu Ling.

"Flame, out!"

Lieyan squeaked and came over to climb onto Mu Ling.

This is the end of the military roll call.

Mu Ling turned around and said to Major Chang, "There's still one Ling at the veterinary station. Our breeder has gone to fetch it. The others can't be taken."

Leopard auspiciousness is not considered stable and cannot be brought.

Not to mention loyalty, it's just getting better.

Xuehua is old, and her physical strength, sense of smell and eyesight have declined, so she is not suitable.

King Kong's leg is still injured.

Dingtian is originally a defensive logistics beast. They are going to search this time, so Dingtian is not suitable.

As for Snow Bear Killer and Nine Needle Pig Devourer, they had only been here for over two weeks and were just getting better. Besides, they belonged to someone else's zoo, and she had no right to take the war beasts from someone else's zoo on an adventure.

Major Chang looked at Mu Ling and the group of animals surrounding her. He looked at her deeply, nodded, and made a "please" gesture to her.

Mu Ling led the war beasts directly to the starship, watching the war beasts board the starship one by one. Finally, she saw Brother Xiang bringing Ling Ren here.

Mu Ling waved to Ling Ren, and Ling Ren ran over. Mu Ling picked him up, and then she held Ling Ren in her arms and walked onto the starship.

Mu Ling stood at the entrance of the starship. She looked at Brother Xiang standing outside and was silent for a moment before saying, "Take good care of the house. A lot of animals have left. I'll post a message explaining the situation. Tomorrow morning, when the tourists arrive, you should also make it clear to them before they enter that we are missing a large number of war beasts. If tourists want to refund their tickets, they can do so. If they want to change their tickets, they can do so."

Xiang Bie said nothing and continued to stand outside looking at her.

Mu Ling looked at Brother Xiang for a while, then turned around and walked inside.

But the next second, she suddenly heard some movement behind her. When she turned around, she saw Brother Xiang already standing in the starship.

Mu Ling was stunned.

The starship door behind him slowly closed.

Xiang Bie said: "Wei Li will take good care of it."

Mu Ling looked at him straight.

Xiang Bie pursed his lips and said, "I'm worried about you."
