Chapter 157
Not wanting to continue this topic, Mu Ling quickly stammered and skipped over it, asking another question: "So, why did you give the Piccolo Zoo to me? And you asked me to run it for three years, so that I can have a relationship with the Bai family again, isn't that a bad thing..."
At this point, Bai Huanqiu suddenly fell silent.
Mu Ling looked at her seriously.
Bai Huanqiu hesitated for a moment, then said: "In this regard, it is indeed my fault..."
Mu Ling was stunned.
"Laboratory X was shut down after Sheng Tianhai became president. Sheng Tianhai may not know what Laboratory X was used for, but he thought it was very expensive. He spent so much federal money and invested so much time for almost 20 years, but the laboratory did not produce any medical products with returns. He felt that this laboratory was unnecessary. What the Federal Biological Institute could do, the Federal Research Center could do..."
After Sheng Tianhai shut down Laboratory X, Ying Qianhe's human experiments could no longer be carried out, but he was unwilling to give up, so he placed the laboratory in the rebel army. After taking over the rebel army five years ago, he made adjustments to the internal affairs. Therefore, the rebel army now has so many laboratories, and they have experimental bases on countless planets. Including the God King Planet.
These laboratories distributed on various stars have two tasks. One is to breed alien beasts. In order to breed alien beasts, they do not hesitate to steal war beasts for experiments.
Second, collect data on various alien beasts and war beasts. These data will be provided to the X laboratory as reference data for human experiments.
There are also two purposes for breeding alien beasts.
One is for the presidential election seven years later. Imagine that during Sheng Tianhai's term, the rebels could not capture the planets for a long time, and the repeated alien tides harmed many planets. But once Ying Qianhe came to power, the rebels were gone. Then who is the savior of the Federation? It goes without saying.
Second, during the monster tide, they killed, looted, and obtained a lot of ill-gotten gains. The experiment required a huge amount of funds to support it. If Ying Qianhe wanted to continue the human body experiment, he would need a lot of money. If Sheng Tianhai didn't give him money, he would naturally have to rob money from other places.
There is a saying in the market that the rebels created the monster tide in order to negotiate with the federal army, just like the previous rebel leader occupied the water and Jupiter five years ago and publicly demanded 33 planets.
But in reality, Ying Qianhe understood the federal government and Sheng Tianhai. They would not compromise with the rebels, nor would they really give them a chance to negotiate. However, this excuse could be used. So they pretended to create a monster tide for the sake of decentralization. In this way, they could hide the secrets of making money, building momentum, and human experiments deeper.
Hearing this, Mu Ling understood the purpose of the rebels, but what did this have to do with her aunt giving her the Beak Zoo and requiring her to run it for three years?
As if seeing Mu Ling's doubts, Bai Huanqiu said, "Your major is pharmaceutical research. After graduation, you went to your mentor's laboratory to conduct research. I know that the purpose of your medical studies is to treat yourself, but you probably don't know how many young children like you with medical talents have been recruited by the rebels in the past five years."
Mu Ling was stunned.
Bai Huanqiu said, "The rebels have so many experimental bases, so they naturally need a large number of experimental talents. Some of these people voluntarily joined the rebels, and some are pure scientific freaks who don't like to do normal research and like to study some prohibited things. There are even more, their family members and friends who are held hostage by the rebels, and they have to compromise. After entering the rebels, they are waiting for brainwashing, control, and beatings. In short, there are many methods."
Mu Ling's face became ugly.
Bai Huanqiu sighed: "You were raised by Bai Huanting. Even if he didn't really teach you, the books he gave you and some occasional casual guidance have allowed you to go quite smoothly on the path of medicine. The first time you followed your mentor to do an experiment, you achieved great success. This is what I am most worried about. As long as you make a name for yourself in this industry, you will definitely be noticed by the rebels. With your ability, you will make that name sooner or later."
Mu Ling pursed her lips, her expression heavy: "I'm indeed quite good."
Bai Huanqiu: "..."
You shouldn't compliment her.
Bai Huanqiu continued, "So, there is the Piccolo Zoo."
After saving Xiang Yuanren, Bai Huanqiu planned to escape, but how to place Mu Ling was a problem. Finally, she decided to open a wild animal park. As she expected, a purely wild animal park still has an extremely harsh mountain environment. It is inconvenient for vehicles to travel, tourists to visit, and employees to maintain. Because there are too many trees, even satellite monitoring cannot be set up. Because the area is too large, the animals hide and don't make a sound. It is impossible for tourists to come to such a ghost place.
But Bai Huanqiu wanted this state. Only by hiding Mu Ling in such a remote mountain forest, she felt relieved.
She was afraid that Mu Ling would not be willing to come, so she made a three-year agreement, requiring her to run the zoo for three years, and after three years, what she wanted to do would almost have results.
Before the handover, she also specially streamlined the animals in the zoo to only a few dozen. With a small number of animals, it would not be difficult for Mu Ling to raise them, but with the animals as a tie, she could not leave. She also agreed with Lawyer Xu that if Mu Ling really couldn't make ends meet and asked him for help, he would give her a certain amount of money every month, as long as the animals and employees could be guaranteed to survive.
She planned everything well.
But she never expected...
Mu Ling had only been gone for a few days, and she had already made the Bick Zoo a hot search.
Once it was on the hot search, it would never end.
In less than half a year, she almost made the Bick Zoo the most popular zoo in the federation!
Originally, he wanted her to keep a low profile, but now, she is too high-profile, and even specifically goes against the rebels.
Not only did she ruin the rebels' plans several times, but she also quietly destroyed the rebels' base on the God King Star.
Seeing that she was courting death, Bai Huanqiu was afraid, so he sent the harvest over, hoping to guide Mu Ling to understand her life experience and make her more careful.
In fact, even if they didn't come to her today, she would slowly reveal more information to them. Of course, she herself would not show up. The fewer people who know that she is still alive, the better.
Bai Huanqiu said a lot in a row, and after listening to the words of the aunt, Mu Ling understood the good intentions of the old man.
She was very moved and asked, "So you didn't know beforehand that my physique is actually attractive to war beasts?"
Bai Huanqiu shook his head, "There are no war beasts on Planet 877. You have never been particularly attractive to animals since you were a child. Your grandfather and I have never thought about it in this direction."
Yes, Mu Ling had never had the chance to see animals since she was a child. She only played with stray cats in the school when she was in college. Her neighbors also had dogs, but they were all acquaintances living on the same street. It was normal for these dogs to wag their tails at Mu Ling.
So this was where Bai Huanqiu made a mistake.
She underestimated Mu Ling's ability.
Mu Ling lowered her head, and now there was only one question left.
What were the scales on her body?
Why did she have the ability to absorb alien cells?
Why was she particularly liked by war beasts?
What had she experienced before she was harvested?
Time passed by minute by minute.
Seeing that Mu Ling and Xiang Bie were speechless, Bai Huanqiu waved his hand and said, "Okay, go away after asking, don't disturb my peace."
Mu Ling looked at the aunt with worry in her eyes: "So you faked your death, what exactly do you want to do? You protected me and took in Brother Xiang, you let us hide safely in the Pic Zoo, what about you? What are you going to do?"
Bai Huanqiu frowned: "Children should not interfere in adult matters."
Mu Ling said nothing, just thought for a while, and then looked deeply at the aunt.
Bai Huanqiu: "..."
No way, that look in her eyes... Could it be that she has guessed it!
Yes, Mu Ling guessed it.
The aunt should be planning to join forces with the president. The next presidential election will be in half a year. Ying Qianhe is the common enemy of her and the president. It is best to find the president to join forces.
But she has not approached the president yet, because no matter how good the president's reputation is, no matter whether the aunt is Xiang Ge's savior, it does not affect the fact that the president is already a politician. The minds of politicians are changeable and difficult to figure out.
The aunt did not dare to guarantee that she would tell the president about the matter in advance. She was unwilling to gamble or take risks, so she planned to cooperate with the president at the last minute, so as to minimize the occurrence of variables and best protect herself, the Bai family and Mu Ling's safety.
Mu Ling suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to the aunt.
Xiang Bie stood up and bowed to the old man in the same posture.
Bai Huanqiu looked at the two children quietly, with the corners of his mouth raised, and when the two stood up, he forced his mouth corners down and continued to greet them: "Okay, let's go."
Mu Ling and Xiang Bie finally left. It was not until the door behind them closed that Mu Ling looked at the young man beside her and asked: "Brother Xiang, you won't tell others about my aunt's affairs, right?"
Xiang Bie understood what she meant, and he said seriously: "No."
In fact, the fact that the aunt let Brother Xiang come in together shows that she also trusts Brother Xiang, but Mu Ling is still worried: "No one will?"
Xiang Bie shook his head: "No."
Ms. Bai already has her own plan. He believes that his uncle also has his plan. Regardless of whether Ying Qianhe is the one who hurt him, the unchanging thing is that Ying Qianhe is his uncle's political enemy. With the election coming soon, his uncle will definitely take action against Ying Qianhe.
And during the Nurha Star alien tide, his uncle stayed in Nurha Star the whole time. He didn't believe that he didn't find out anything.
So he didn't need to pass on any message in the middle. They already had their own things to do.
Mu Ling said nothing.
Xiang Bie looked at her profile, was silent for a while, and then said: "My life belongs to you, I will never lie to you."
Mu Ling: "..."
Although she knew that he didn't mean that, it still sounded strange.
Mu Ling scratched her ears, hummed, lowered her head, and walked quickly to the elevator.
Xiang Bie looked at her back and walked over.
The elevator door opened and closed, and the two stood in the narrow and closed space, looking at the changing numbers above.
It was very quiet in the elevator.
When the elevator reached the second floor and was about to go down to the first floor.
Xiang Bie suddenly spoke again: "So, what?"
Mu Ling was stunned: "What do you mean by what?"
Xiang Bie tightened his hands on his side a little, his throat rolled, and he was a little nervous: "Do you want my life?"
Mu Ling: "..."
The temperature in the elevator seemed to rise a little suddenly.
"Wow." The elevator door opened.
But Mu Ling did not go out. She did not move, and Xiang Bie was also nervous and did not dare to move.
Time passed bit by bit, and after a while, Mu Ling suddenly turned her head and looked at the man beside her, especially staring into his eyes, and then she said: "Okay."
Xiang Bie was stunned, and his heart suddenly beat very fast.
Is she agreeing?
Mu Ling saw that he was stunned, chuckled, walked out of the elevator, and then shouted inside: "Let's go, Mimi."
