Chapter 125
Two days later, on December 11, the Beek Zoo experienced its first major winter drop in temperature this year.
When Mu Ling went out that morning, she felt the strong cold air. Although the climate in the Beek Jungle is very good most of the time due to its topography, it can be said that it is spring all year round, but the Beek Jungle also has winter. The winter here is very short, only one month. Although it is only one month, there will still be heavy snowfall and severe cold.
Mu Ling looked at the cold wind outside and had to go back to the room to put on another pair of autumn pants before she came out with her neck shrunk.
After the temperature drops, it will soon start to snow. Although a month is not difficult to endure, Mu Ling is still a little worried about the animals on the mountain. If the snow falls too much, the animals, especially the newly born mothers and the newly born cubs, will definitely have a hard time.
Mu Ling thought that she would have to ask the patrol officers to patrol faster, and then went downstairs and went straight to the war beast nursery.
Today, Nini and Kuangwang will be sent to the second service area to be caged together.
When Mu Ling arrived, she saw Brother Xiang and several staff members waiting there, and there were two cages, one large and one small, next to them.
Mu Ling said, "Pretend to be arrogant first."
As she said that, she went to open the door of Kuangwang's room.
In the constant temperature glass room, Kuangwang was still sleeping. Mu Ling called out, "Kuangwang?"
The alert flat-headed girl immediately opened her eyes, poked her head out from behind the bushes, and sniffed over here.
After smelling Mu Ling, she slowly walked out and climbed onto a low stone.
Mu Ling went over and touched it, and fed it some frozen food.
Kuangwang ate it obediently.
Mu Ling looked at Kuangwang so obediently, and once again felt that it must be pregnant.
After the black-clawed badger becomes pregnant, it will be affected by the estrogen during pregnancy, and its personality will change. The black-clawed badger in the wild will become more ferocious, because they need to rely on hunting to obtain more food to provide nutrition for the baby in their belly.
But the black-clawed badgers raised by humans will become more docile, because they don't need to hunt, humans will give them food, so they can rely on being docile to get more food.
When Mu Ling had a video call with the keeper of Kuangwang yesterday, the keeper of Kuangwang also said that it was basically 100% certain that Kuangwang was pregnant, otherwise he wouldn't be so careless, this is the survival wisdom of the female animal.
After eating some frozen food, Kuangwang felt a little sleepy again, and he planned to go back to the bushes to sleep, but Mu Ling had already picked him up, turned around, and stuffed him into a cage.
Arrogant was lying in the cage, a little confused. He was about to get angry, but when he found a roast chicken, he immediately went to eat the roast chicken and stopped being angry.
After pretending to be arrogant, Mu Ling pretended to be Nini.
Nini was also sleeping at this time.
The skinny black and white bear was sleeping on a tree branch. When Mu Ling called it, Nini opened her eyes and turned her head to look over.
Mu Ling pulled its hind legs to let it come down.
The dirty black and white bear refused to come down and just lay there looking at Mu Ling.
Mu Ling bent down, picked up a bamboo shoot on the ground, and began to peel the shell, intending to eat it herself.
Nini became anxious when she saw this, and finally came down to take the bamboo shoot from Mu Ling's hand.
Mu Ling refused to give it and walked outside with the bamboo shoot.
Nini could only chase it, and then, Mu Ling walked into a big cage.
Nini looked at the cage with some hesitation, but seeing that Mu Ling was also inside, she finally walked in.
As soon as it went in, Xiang Bie closed the cage, and Mu Ling finally gave the bamboo shoots to Nini.
Nini immediately started to eat skillfully.
So Mu Ling walked around it, walked to the mouth of the cage, opened the cage and walked out.
The two animals were loaded, and then they were transported.
When they arrived at the second service area, Mu Ling felt that something was wrong with the weather.
The altitudes of the foot of the mountain and the middle of the mountain are different. Obviously, the second service area is much colder than the first service area.
I looked at the weather forecast, which said that the temperature today would be between 11 and 20 degrees, which was actually not bad.
Frowning and turning off the computer, Mu Ling told everyone to do their work. Soon, they sent Nini and Kuangwang to the delivery port on the first floor of the second service area. Mu
Ling let Nini out first.
The unfamiliar environment and the unfamiliar smell made Nini a little nervous. She finished the last two bites of bamboo shoots, walked to the door of the cage, and sniffed outside.
After sniffing for a while, she was sure that there was also a strong smell of Mu Ling in this area, so she finally walked out with confidence. After adapting for a while, she found a big tree and began to climb up the tree. Standing high up, Iron Bear can observe the surroundings more smoothly.
Mu Ling saw that the branches of the tree were relatively low, and was not worried that Nini would be injured. She turned around and released Kuangwang again.
After leaving the cage, Kuangwang sniffed around, and then suddenly, he ran straight to the canteen not far away, where there were some animal food that the war beasts had not finished eating last night, as well as some dried meat snacks and so on.
These leftover foods were actually left for the young beasts, such as the little wolf, Dabao and Xiaobao. Because they are still young and growing, the adult beasts will subconsciously eat less and leave some for the young beasts, so that the young beasts can have something to eat when they are hungry in the long dark night.
Now Kuangwang directly showed off these children's meals.
No problem, the one in his stomach also wants to eat children's meals.
Seeing Nini and Kuangwang quickly playing on the big lawn, Mu Ling looked to the other side. Because the weather was getting colder, the animals who usually liked to sleep outside also went to sleep in the glass house.
Even magic went inside.
It's not that the animals are afraid of the cold. They have thick skin and flesh. Many animals are very resistant to freezing, but resistant to freezing is one thing. Only a fool would not go to a warm place. Do you have to endure the bitterness?
Seeing that the animals didn't come out, Mu Ling thought about introducing them later. She went to the food storage room to prepare breakfast. After
breakfast was ready, she gave it to Doubao first.
After this period of recuperation, Pin Yahu's injuries from falling down the mountain have improved a lot, but it is not fully healed after all, and for fear of secondary damage, it is temporarily isolated in a glass house.
Dou Bao is not as repulsive to Mu Ling as he was at the beginning.
It ate obediently and changed its dressings obediently, except that sometimes when Mu Ling pulled it, it would turn around and bare its teeth at Mu Ling.
But after Mu Ling ruthlessly pinched its mouth to stop it from bareing its teeth,
it shuddered and drooped its ears.
When Mu Ling was taking care of Doubao, she did not notice that after observing the surroundings and eating the children's meal, Nini and Kuangwang had other actions.
In a glass room, Qilin suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the opposite side. Opposite him was a huge glass window. At this time, outside the sealed glass window, a black and white bear with dark circles under its eyes was lying on the glass, blinking its big eyes and looking at it.
Qilin remained calm.
The black and white bear rested its forehead against the glass.
Qilin continued to remain calm.
The black and white bear changed from being on all fours to standing on two, then put his hands on his hips, looking very provocative towards Qilin.
Qilin was not calm this time, he tilted his head as if he was puzzled.
The black and white bear couldn't keep his hands on his hips for too long, he lay down again, then sniffed around the window, and finally walked to the door on the other side and lingered there.
Qilin was the only one sleeping in this room tonight.
Qilin looked at the bear at the door for a long time, then lay down on the cushion, intending to continue sleeping.
The black and white bear walked in at this time.
Qilin also had a strong aura of Mu Ling on his body, which made Iron Bear not so scared.
Mu Ling's smell can make Iron Bear feel a strong sense of security. In fact, among so many animals, Nini is the one most affected by Mu Ling. When Nini met Mu Ling, Mu Ling was sick. She was so sick that her arms began to itch. At that time, her smell was very strong, and this strong smell was also the reason why Nini leaned towards Mu Ling.
After watching Iron Bear come in and circle around the room, it circled around and approached his butt.
Qilin stood up immediately, turned his head and glared at Iron Bear sternly.
Iron Bear was startled and took two steps back. He bravely continued to sniff Qilin, and then he walked to the other side to drink the water in the room.
After drinking Qilin's water, Iron Bear turned around and saw that Tear Tiger had already walked out of the room. Iron Bear
hesitated for a moment, then quietly followed Tear Tiger out of the room. Tear
Tiger went into another room, where a white bear was sleeping.
Qilin stepped forward and licked the white bear's fur.
Moonlight woke up drowsily, licked his lips, looked up at Qilin, and then subconsciously rubbed his forehead against Qilin. Qilin
lay down next to Moonlight, turned his head, and glanced at the other bear at the door.
Moonlight also smelled a strange smell at this time. Its little eyes looked at the bear at the door that looked different from it, and it was stunned for a moment, then stood up. The
white bear shook his fur to wake himself up a little, then stretched his neck and walked to the door.
Moonlight sniffed Nini carefully, and Nini also sniffed Moonlight carefully. After the two bears sniffed each other for a while, Moonlight turned around and returned to the soft mat in the house.
Seeing this, Nini also followed carefully.
As usual, she first observed the room and sniffed the room, and then Nini came behind Moonlight's butt. Why did she choose the butt? Because you can't leave your back to other animals, but you can go to other animals' backs. In this way, if other animals are hostile to you, you can sneak attack it first.
Moonlight obviously didn't want to leave its back to Iron Bear, whom it just met. It turned around and faced Iron Bear, then sat down and faced Iron Bear.
Iron Bear also sat down and faced it. The two bears sat for a while, got tired, and simply lay down.
Qilin handed the raw bear to the cooked bear, then stood up and left.
Qilin wanted to go back to his room, but he smelled another strange smell.
So he walked in another direction.
After a while, Qilin stood at the door of Meihua's room, silently looking at the black-clawed badger inside who was eating Meihua's confinement meal.
Because Meihua was afraid that she would not produce enough milk, Meihua would also enjoy a separate meal at night, but Meihua usually could not finish the meal, so in the morning, there was usually half of the rice in the rice bowl.
Seeing that the confinement meal was almost eaten up, Meihua became a little anxious, licked her lips, and let out a low growl.
Qingji, who was accompanying Meihua, stood up at this time, bared his teeth, and tried to drive away the black-clawed badger.
As a result, when it got closer and smelled the estrogen on the black-clawed badger, Qing Mi paused again and did not drive the black-clawed badger away.
Qilin was not used to foreign badgers, and it went over and grabbed the black-clawed badger's neck hair in one bite.
Kuangwang was about to resist, and its sharp nails and teeth were ready to bite through the mouth of the tearing tiger!
But Qilin was very experienced in fighting and it was impossible for it to bite. Qilin shook it and used inertia to prevent Kuangwang from touching its face, and then put it outside the room.
Kuangwang was put steadily on the ground, and it felt that the tearing tiger had no ill intentions, so it did not attack the opponent anymore, but just lowered its head and began to gnaw its nails, or more like picking its teeth with nails.
Qilin walked to the other side, and halfway through, he turned back to look at the black-clawed badger.
The black-clawed badger seemed to understand what it meant, and followed the tearing tiger carefully.
After a while, Qilin came to Grandma Xuehua's room and licked Grandma Xuehua's ear.
Xuehua woke up. With one eye blind, it only looked at Qilin with one eye.
Qilin growled at the door.
Xuehua looked over, then stood up, walked forward and sniffed the little guy at the door.
Kuangwang was a little nervous, but Xuehua had already grabbed its hair on the back of its neck, carried it to its den, and lowered its head to lick it.
Grandma Xuehua's gentleness towards pregnant women made Kuangwang feel comfortable, and it lay in the den and didn't move for a while.
After handing the new pregnant badger to Grandma Xuehua, the head of the women's department, Qilin left Xuehua's room again.
After sniffing the air at the door and making sure there was no more strange smell around, it could finally go back to its room to catch up.
Xiang Bie took someone to put the cage back in the car and asked someone to take the cage back to the first service area. Then he went back to the lawn to prepare breakfast for the war beasts.
As soon as he came in, he saw Mu Ling coming out of Doubao's ward.
Xiang Bie walked towards Mu Ling naturally. Halfway through, he thought of something and looked around.
There was no animal on the endless grass.
Xiang Bie suddenly asked, "Where are Nini and Kuangwang?"
Mu Ling was about to enter the food storage room. Hearing this, she said casually, "Aren't they just..."
She got stuck halfway through her words. Mu Ling looked at the endless grass slope and became suspicious, "Yes, where are Nini and Kuangwang?"
Two minutes later.
Mu Ling and Xiang Bie found Kuangwang in Xuehua's room, who was being taken care of by Xuehua like a child.
Three minutes later.
Mu Ling and Xiang Bie found Nini in Moonlight's room, facing Moonlight like a bear biscuit.
Mu Ling's face was full of doubts, and she scratched her head: "Didn't I introduce them to each other yet?"
Xiang Bie pondered and said, "It's OK as long as Qilin has no objection."
Mu Ling immediately went to see Qilin, and saw that Qilin was sleeping soundly in the room, looking like he knew nothing at all.
Mu Ling breathed a sigh of relief and laughed again: "Hey, it's not bad to kill first and report later, but our smart princess can also make mistakes sometimes."
Nini and Kuangwang also succeeded in merging the cages, and Mu Ling was very satisfied, but Mu Ling always felt that he seemed to have forgotten something.
It was not until twelve o'clock in the afternoon that Dr. Bree at the foot of the mountain sent Mu Ling a photo.
Mu Ling clicked it and saw that over at the War Beast Nursery, the butcher was holding a dead chicken in his mouth, squatting at the door of Kuangwang's glass room, waiting for someone to open the door for it.
Mu Ling: "..."
Doctor Bree sent another voice message: "You kidnapped his wife, didn't you tell him?"
Mu Ling: "..."
Mu Ling was a little embarrassed, but it was easy to catch Kuangwang, but it was not easy to catch the butcher. Mu Ling said: "We can only let him find it by himself. You open the door for him. He won't see Kuangwang and will go back to the mountain by himself."
Mu Ling originally thought that with the butcher's intelligence, he should be able to find the second service area quickly.
The result was unexpected.
The temperature dropped slightly the day before, and Mu Ling managed to get through it by wearing a pair of autumn pants. As a result, the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees the next day, and it rained heavily, washing away all the smells.
This rain was really heavy, and it started thundering in the middle of the night. In the morning, although there was no thunder, the rain did not stop.
It was not suitable to walk in the mountains on such a rainy day, so Mu Ling urgently posted an announcement on StarNet, saying that the weather was too bad today and the park would temporarily stop accepting visitors. Tourists who had purchased tickets were asked to go to the official website to change their tickets.
Tourists did not want to waste the tickets they had finally snatched in such weather. After all, if it rained, the animals would not come out, which was really not worth it.
Complaining in their mouths, everyone changed their tickets.
As a result, on the third day, the rain did not stop, and it even started to sleet and snow, and the temperature dropped again.
Mu Ling did not dare to take the risk and had to continue to suspend the park.
In this way, it was suspended for three days. On the fourth day, the rain finally stopped, the sun came out, and the temperature changed from minus three or four degrees to two or three degrees above zero.
The park reopened, and on the first day of opening, there were almost 4,000 visitors, all of which were accumulated from the previous three days.
This severe drop in temperature not only affected the Bic Zoo, but also the entire God King Planet.
The last time this kind of cold weather occurred was twelve years ago, so the government is also calling on the public to pay attention to safety and remember to add or remove clothes.
At the same time, the epidemic prevention center also called on all zoos to pay attention to the care of animals. In cold weather, the most likely thing to occur is a group infectious disease, which is easy for people and animals to get. If an animal gets sick and dies, if the corpse is not handled properly, it will cause greater trouble.
The Bic Zoo is a key reminder target of the epidemic prevention center because they are a wild zoo, and wild animals are more uncontrollable than caged animals.
Mu Ling quickly agreed, saying that they would take good care of them.
After hanging up the call, Mu Ling arranged two more teams to patrol the mountain every day.
But on the first day, bad news came that many feeding points had not had their food touched.
On the second day, more feeding points were found, and the food had not been touched.
The herbivores in the outer area were all normal because they had been taken care of by the staff, but those A-level and B-level war beasts, or the carnivores living in the inner area, seemed to have disappeared overnight. There were no animals in the habitat at all.
Mu Ling was extremely anxious. Xiang Bie had experience and said that most of the animals should have gone deeper into the mountains. The vegetation in the deeper mountains was denser and it would be warmer. In previous years, during the coldest days, animals would also go to the deep mountains. But what Xiang Bie did not say was that it had never been as cold as this year before. It was so cold today that he always had a premonition that something was going to happen.
Mu Ling asked the staff to add new feeding points in the deep mountains and to understand the movements of the animals.
Mu Ling was so anxious here that he couldn't sleep at night.
But at night.
Gus poked his head out of the cold cave.
The cheetah in front of them had stopped.
Gus was leading the wolf pack and other large animals to migrate to the deep mountains.
In fact, he didn't want to go, but he had to take care of the wolf pack. It's
just that they have been walking for a long time, but Gus doesn't feel it's warmer here.
It's the first time for Gus to encounter such cold weather, and he has no experience. He followed other powerful animals to change their habitats.
But he seemed to have felt that this was not a good idea.
Gus stared outside and sniffed for a long time, then howled at the sky.
The wolf's cry echoed in the empty valley, and no other wolves responded to it.
But Gus knew that there were other wolves on the mountain. They were the foreign wolves that Mu Ling brought back from Nurha Star not long ago.
Those timid foreign wolves followed them nearby, not daring to make a sound because they were afraid of them.
"Awooo--" Gus howled again.
This time, there was finally a very weak wolf howl in response, coming from behind it on the right. Gus roughly knew the other party's position, so he turned around and looked at the wolves in the cave.
Geya and Gena were licking the wolf cubs they had just seen.
Several wolf cubs huddled together to keep warm. Because they were carrying the cubs, the wolf pack moved very slowly. The cubs could not walk yet, so they moved forward entirely by relying on other wolves to carry them.
Gus did not want to go to the mountains anymore, so he took advantage of the fact that it did not rain at night and led the wolf pack to another road.
Perhaps it noticed that the scent of the wolf pack behind was getting farther away, so a cheetah walking one or two kilometers ahead of the wolf pack became a little confused.
The cheetah itself did not understand, as it migrated with its mother and sister. It actually felt that this little bit of cold was nothing. It was this cold last year, but they were not sad because they could eat food near their habitat.
But something seemed wrong this year. Animals are always more sensitive to climate change than humans. This migration was led by large war beasts. They must have discovered a great danger, so they went deep into the mountains.
The cheetah thought that all animals would follow, but the wolf pack broke away on their own. Out of curiosity, the cheetah decided to follow the wolf pack. It was very fast, and even if it chased the migrating team tomorrow, it would definitely catch up. At
three o'clock in the morning that night.
Qilin was awakened by the movement outside.
It walked out of the room, and in the cold wind, it saw a group of uninvited guests jumping in from the outside of a bush.
After sniffing, most of the smells were familiar, and Qilin walked over slowly.
At the same time, Qingmi also walked out of another room.
Gus, who had brought his wolf pack to the service area to seek shelter, saw Qingji and wagged his tail wildly at Qingji from a distance!
Qingji didn't even look at Gus. He just approached Geya and Gena to sniff their cubs.
The cub staggered and lay on the ground. At this time, another wolf from another place came over, spit out the wolf cub in its mouth, and then slid to the other side with its tail between its legs.
Yes, Gus called the wolves from other places to make them do hard labor.
The wolves from other places had been beaten by Geya and Gena for taking the cubs. The other male wolves from the Wind Chasing Group also roared at them along the way, scaring them to death.
Lynx Liuguang also woke up from the house at this time.
When a few wolves from other places smelled Liuguang's scent, they immediately rushed to Liuguang's side as if they had seen a relative.
They used to be in the same zoo, and the Qing'an Zoo in Nurha Star is very small, so the wolves and Liuguang can be considered old neighbors!
Since we are here, let's stay.
Qingjia led the wolves inside, and Liuguang also led the wolves from other places to another room.
And the cheetah following them in the distance...
The cheetah was very shocked.
The wolves actually shamelessly moved into the habitat of other animals!
But the other animals didn't seem to drive them away?
And it looked very warm here, and there was the aroma of food.
The cheetah hesitated a little, it wandered around the bushes for a while, and finally urinated, leaving the smell, and then turned and ran into the mountains.
It wants to tell its mother and sister this news! Maybe they don't have to go to the mountains!
On the way to the mountains, the young male cheetah also encountered a black-clawed badger that was also heading to the mountains.
Instead of approaching the badger full of negative energy, the cheetah circled around and walked in front of the black-clawed badger.
At the same time.
In the second service area, the oldest and most knowledgeable sub-endangered rhinoceros stood on the grass slope, looking at the vast shadows of trees outside the bushes.
There was a bad smell in the air, and it felt that danger was approaching.
This is a premonition of crisis that only older war beasts would have, because it has encountered similar situations before.
At the same time.
Next to a big tree closest to the mountains.
An equally old A-class jade ostrich, 32 years old, stopped here.
The life span of an ostrich is 40-60 years. This jade ostrich is not old, but it has experienced a lot.
This place is surrounded by mountains and can avoid danger. It brought the animals to this canyon, where they can spend this dangerous winter.
It has a premonition that the crisis is coming.
