Chapter 22

"Ah? No more tours? Everyone go down the mountain? Now?"

On the main mountain road, the tourists became noisy when they heard Xiang Bie say that the tour was to be cancelled. Professor Zhou, as the person in charge, came out to communicate: "Excuse me, where is Director Mu? We want to talk to her." "

She's busy." Xiang Bie said briefly, and when he saw Wei Li coming over, he pulled Wei Li aside to talk.

When Wei Li heard Xiang Bie say that a strange beast had entered the jungle again and was encountered by the director, his face changed immediately. When he heard Xiang Bie say that he was going to hurry over, he hurriedly said, "Okay, Brother Xiang, you hurry up and leave this to me. I will arrange it."

After Xiang Bie left with the medical kit, Wei Li also comforted the tourists. The tourists all asked what happened. Wei Li couldn't tell the truth, otherwise it would scare people to death. He could only vaguely say, "The mountain road ahead has slipped and the car can no longer go in."

The tourists didn't know whether this was true or not. In short, they were all very unhappy and complained as they got on the car.

-Xiang

Bie didn't see Mu Ling until 20 minutes later.

At this time, Mu Ling was sitting on the grass beside the stream, holding a tranquilizer gun in her hand and holding a wounded brown deer in her arms. The deer's head rested on her knees, and she gently stroked the deer's head, as if to comfort it.

Not far from her, two hyenas, whose lives were unknown, were lying on the ground, covered in blood and motionless.

Xiang Bie walked forward with a frown on his face. Mu Ling heard the footsteps and turned around. Seeing it was Xiang Bie, she breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly, "Brother Xiang, give me the medical kit!"

Xiang Bie took two quick steps over, put the medical kit next to her, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the situation now?"

As he asked this, his eyes were looking at the jungle on the other side of the stream. In the forest, a black cheetah was revealing a pair of green eyes, staring at them coldly. At the same time, at the bottom of the stream, an iron-skinned crocodile with half its eye open was also secretly peeking.

Mu Ling opened the medical kit, took out the syringe and injected medicine into it, saying: "Two hyenas, one dead and one fainted. The dead one was bitten to death by Lightning, and the fainted one was shot by me. Now Lightning and the guards are unwilling to leave, probably because one hyena is not dead yet. But I am guarding here, and they dare not come over, so they are in a stalemate."

After Mu Ling finished speaking, the medicine in the syringe was also filled. She pushed away the air and then pushed the needle into the brown deer's blood vessel.

The brown deer felt pain and wanted to struggle. Mu Ling hurriedly held it down, rubbed its fur, and coaxed it softly: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt, our little deer is the bravest."

The injection was quickly completed. After taking out the syringe, Mu Ling waited for a while, and only started to clean the wound for the brown deer after the medicine took effect.

Xiang Bie watched Mu Ling's quick and skillful movements throughout the whole process, and couldn't tell what her mood was at the moment. If you say she was going crazy, she still had the patience to coax the brown deer. If you say she accepted the reality, her expression was chilling. Even in the intervals of disinfecting the brown deer, she would occasionally glance at the two hyenas with a look of killing, obviously she had not swallowed this malice at all.

Xiang Bie went to check the two hyenas again, and then said: "Just take the dead one away to burn, and I will report the living one to the military and ask if they want it. If they want it, let them take it back and use it as an experimental sample."

Mu Ling continued to clean the wound of the brown deer without saying a word.

Xiang Bie turned his head to look at her, hesitated, and said: "If the military recovers it, they will give you a little bonus, about five hundred interstellar coins."

Mu Ling paused, the very unhappy man raised his head and glanced at Xiang Bie.

Xiang Bie racked his brains: "If we have a meeting, the bonus may be 600. Let's see if we can get another banner to hang at the ticket office."

Mu Ling's expression was still cold. He snorted twice: "Any more money?"

Xiang Bie nodded: "Yes, it's alive."

Then he praised: "You did a good job. You didn't let the lightning bite it to death."

Mu Ling's back suddenly straightened a little. It was hard to tell whether he was in a better mood or not. He just asked: "But if the news that there are alien beasts in our zoo gets out, won't it have a great impact on our future business? Tourists are afraid to come, and we still have to hang a banner at the ticket office. Isn't this confessing to ourselves?"

Xiang Bie: "First, the banner proves that we have the ability to handle alien beasts independently. Second, the existence of alien beasts is because Because the protective net is not yet complete, after it is completed, the protective net company will issue a safety certificate. After the certificate level meets the standard, it is equivalent to official endorsement, proving that there will be no more monsters here in the future, so there is no need to worry about no business in the future. "

Mu Ling is most afraid of no business in the future. After hearing what Xiang Bie said, her mood finally improved a little. She said, "Then I will go and negotiate for the 600 yuan bonus and try to see if I can get it..."

Xiang Bie said, "Of course I can, you are very eloquent."

Mu Ling was praised twice in a row, and finally couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth. She lowered her head and continued to clean the brown deer. The action seemed to be no different from before, but Xiang Bie was sharp-eared and heard that she had started humming.

This is finally okay...

Xiang Bie also breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiang Bie dragged the two hyenas a little closer, tied them together with vines, and then opened the bottom compartment of the medical box, took out two effervescent tablets from it, broke them into pieces and threw them into the stream to disinfect the water source contaminated by the hyena's blood.

As for whether this disinfection is too simple, whether other places in the park have been infected by hyenas, this is not a big deal. The virus will naturally dissipate with the air without a living parasite, and judging from the current infection level of these two hyenas, they are only primary infected bodies and are not yet contagious.

When Xiang Bie did these actions, the "guards" at the bottom of the stream and the "lightning" deep in the forest kept staring at him closely, without a moment of relaxation.

After a while, Mu Ling bandaged the brown deer's wound. She helped the brown deer stand up. The deer was a little unsteady and kept yo-yoing with its mouth open, as if it was in great pain.

"It will hurt a little when you walk. It will be better if you walk slowly. There is analgesic in the medicine." Mu Ling rubbed its ears and said, "You and your sister go down the mountain. Your injury will heal faster in the ward."

"Yo--" the brown deer cried again, sounding particularly aggrieved. It seemed to have recognized Mu Ling and directly pushed its head into Mu Ling's arms.

Mu Ling had no choice but to hold its head again, and then looked at Xiang Bie and asked: "Brother Xiang, do we really not need to worry about Lightning and the Guards?"

"Don't worry if they are not injured."

Mu Ling remembered that they were not injured, so he said: "Okay."

Soon, Xiang Bie carried the two hyenas, Mu Ling grabbed the brown deer's neck hair with one hand, and held the medical kit with the other hand, and the two people and the deer walked towards the monkey forest

. In the stream, the crocodile finally poked out its dark head, and in the forest, the black panther leaped across the stream, followed the two people and the deer, and actually walked into the monkey forest.

-At

the same time, on the other side, Wei Li led five cars and just returned to the service area at the foot of the mountain. He saw a familiar security guard not far away, talking to their temporary employees.

Seeing their car coming in, the security guard hurried forward and shouted anxiously: "Xiao Wei, why don't you answer the intercom!"

Wei Li was stunned for a moment, he stopped the car, jumped out of the car, took out the intercom from his pocket, and said: "My intercom didn't ring... Oops, I tuned to another channel and forgot to change it back. Master Li, what's wrong?"

The master Li glanced at the tourists behind him with a hesitant expression.

Wei Li understood and walked to the side with Master Li. Master Li then said in a low voice: "Animals from the deep forest have entered the park. We discovered it at noon. Judging from the footprints and feces, they must have come in last night. I don't know how many there are, but it must be at least one."

Wei Li's face sank and he said nothing.

Master Li was surprised to see his expression: "You already know?"

Wei Li nodded and lowered his voice: "It's an alien beast, our people are already dealing with it."

Master Li's face changed drastically: "It's really an alien beast? Then, Xiao Wei, this is not a simple matter. A mutant python broke into your place a few days ago, and now an alien beast has come in again. Is the mutation rate of animals in this deep forest so high? Will this cause any trouble?"

Wei Li said: "I will discuss this with Brother Xiang and the director. Master Li, please tell the other masters and let them pay attention to safety. If it really doesn't work, stay in the car and suspend work. We will notify you when we have feedback."

There is no signal in the mountains, and the only way to communicate up and down the mountain is to use walkie-talkies.

Master Li looked very unhappy, but he could only nod and took the intercom to contact his colleagues.

Wei Li looked back at the tourists behind him. They were still talking, and they were obviously disappointed because the tour was temporarily stopped.

Wei Li had no choice but to contact Brother Xiang with the intercom. No one answered Brother Xiang's intercom, so Wei Li contacted the director.

After hearing what Wei Li said, Mu Ling's expression was also very bad. She said helplessly: "It's right to let the master and his men stop working first. As for the tourists, we can only trouble Qilin to be forced to open for a while to see if we can make them calm down a little. As for the ticket fees this time, we will refund them all. It is our responsibility that they did not have a good viewing experience."

Wei Li: "..."

Wei Li was holding the intercom, and he was a little dazed...

What? Director Iron Rooster actually wants to refund all the tickets? She, she... is she crazy?

Mu Ling was indeed going crazy. She lowered her head and looked at the two hyenas in Xiang Bie's hand, her teeth grinding.

Xiang Bie: "..."

Xiang Bie changed his hand to hold the hyena and said to Mu Ling: "Calm down. We have cut them up here and there is nothing to put them in. And one of them needs to be exchanged for money."

Mu Ling snorted heavily and turned her head away!

The two of them quickly returned to where the ferry was parked. Xiang Bie put the two hyenas down and was about to go back to pick up the brown deer. The door was small and the brown deer refused to get on the bus, so he had to force it in.

As a result, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Mu Ling casually getting on the bus from the back door, and behind her, the brown deer actually lowered its head and obediently followed her into the bus.

Xiang Bie: "..."

Mu Ling found a place to sit down, and the brown deer also walked to her side consciously, bent its four legs on the aisle, and sat down next to her. After sitting down, the brown deer also naturally rested its head on Mu Ling's knees, just like before by the stream. Mu Ling didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this, and she even touched the brown deer's head.

Xiang Bie watched quietly the whole time. After a while, he got in the car and started the engine.

When the car was driving down the mountain, Xiang Bie asked casually: "You have been going up the mountain these few days. Have you become familiar with the animals outside?"

Mu Ling thought Xiang Bie was talking about the golden rabbit before, and responded: "Yes, I brought food to them, and they became familiar with it after feeding it twice. They will chase me when they see me."

"The same in the monkey forest?"

Mu Ling smiled: "It's easier for monkeys. There is nothing that a banana can't solve. If that doesn't work, just add another banana!"

Xiang Bie said at this time: "The first time Wei Li went to the monkey forest to feed the monkeys, he was thrown feces."

Mu Ling: "..."

Mu Ling thought she didn't hear clearly, she was confused and said: "Throw what?"

Xiang Bie looked at her through the rearview mirror: "The monkeys express their dissatisfaction by throwing feces at each other."

Mu Ling was shocked: "Brother Wei...what are you doing? Are you so unpopular with monkeys?"

Xiang Bie said: "The first time Wei Li fed a golden rabbit, he was also bitten."

Rabbits bite when they are anxious, and this is not empty talk.

Mu Ling was confused: "Why is Brother Wei so unlucky?"

Xiang Bie didn't say anything. He was almost the same. When they first came into contact with wild animals, they were all bullied by some animals to a certain extent. Only Mu Ling...

Mu Ling thought that the animals would be familiar with her after feeding them twice. This idea could be said to be very fantastic. Animals are not so easy to get close to. Except for those that have been tamed, such as dogs, cats and the like, most other wild animals still retain strong racial characteristics and will be very repulsive to foreigners.

But this kind of repulsion seemed to be ineffective for Mu Ling.

She... was really not right.

On the way back, Xiang Bie didn't say anything. When they arrived at the service area, they could see from a distance that the tourists were still there.

Seeing them coming back, many tourists came to greet them. Mu Ling was a little embarrassed. She got off the bus and apologized to everyone first: "I'm really sorry, something happened on our mountain. Today's tour has to be suspended. We will refund all the ticket fees. Professor Zhou, I will transfer the money to your account in a while..."

Professor Zhou was stunned at first, and then waved his hand quickly: "No need to refund, we still had a lot of fun today. Although the ending was not ideal, we..."

Professor Zhou hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly glimpsed something in the shuttle bus.

He looked closely and found that it was a brown deer!

The brown deer was a little scared when it saw that there were people outside, so it shrank in the car and dared not move.

"Hey, is that a deer?"

"Look at its butt, it looks injured?"

"Did something happen? Did Director Mu just go to save the deer?"

Mu Ling was a little embarrassed and said apologetically: "I did leave because of the deer. Anyway, all the responsibility lies with us. I am sorry to give you a bad experience, but I promise that this kind of thing will never happen again after we officially open!"

The tourists hurriedly said that it was okay, saving animals was the most important thing. They were all engaged in war animal research, so naturally they had stronger feelings for animals than ordinary people.

They were quite unhappy before, but now that they heard that Director Mu was trying to save the deer, they all understood. Someone asked, "Director Mu, was the deer bitten by other animals?"

Mu Ling stiffened for a moment, but finally nodded, "Yes."

"Was it a ferocious beast?"

Hyenas are indeed ferocious beasts. Mu Ling nodded again, "Yes!"

"Is it okay now?"

Mu Ling said, "Bandage it first and take it back to the hospital. It will be healed in about a week. The injury is not very serious."

"Oh, Director Mu, you go ahead and do your work. We'll talk later."

Mu Ling hurriedly apologized to everyone, then took the brown deer and led it out of the car.

Mu Ling led the brown deer towards the veterinary station. However, after taking two steps, she suddenly paused. Her expression changed drastically as she looked towards the forest in front of her. She blurted out, "Why are you here?"

Mu Ling's words came out of nowhere. Xiang Bie paused and looked at her.

The tourists behind her also looked over.

Under the watchful eyes of more than a hundred people, a pair of cold green animal eyes were seen in the forest that Mu Ling was staring at, hiding in the darkness and flickering slightly.

"What is that?"

"A beast?"

"What beast? I can't tell clearly..."

Mu Ling was sweating profusely when she heard the discussions behind her. Others could not recognize him just by looking at his eyes, but she could recognize him very clearly. She and this guy stared at each other across the stream for more than half an hour!

Mu Ling was speechless. Did Shan Dian follow them down? Why? Just for the hyena that was still alive?

No, did he have to bite the hyena to death?

She had lost all the money for tickets, car rentals, and small gifts. She just wanted to earn a bonus of 600 yuan! This is not okay?

Mu Ling was really a little bit overwhelmed. She said desperately: "Ancestor, don't bite the dog, just bite me to death!"

In the forest, a black cheetah hidden behind a big rock quietly watched the crowd below. It saw the human standing in the front and the brown deer nestled beside the human.

It lowered its body further and further, and its green eyes were half hidden behind the mountain.

Wei Li also came out of the office building at this time. He had just called the military department. They heard that they had live alien beasts here and said they would come immediately.

Wei Li saw this formation as soon as he came out. He was a little confused and walked over to ask Xiang Bie: "Brother Xiang?"

Xiang Bie said: "Take the hyenas into the garage and avoid people."

Wei Li nodded, he looked at the two hyenas stuffed under the seat, got on the driver's seat, and drove the car directly into the garage.

Xiang Bie walked up to Mu Ling and soothed her, "You take the brown deer in, I'll deal with the lightning."

Mu Ling said dejectedly, "Let me go, it didn't bite me just now, and it won't bite me now."

Xiang Bie frowned and subconsciously wanted to say it was too dangerous, but when he thought of the way Mu Ling got along with animals, he fell silent...

Mu Ling didn't think so much. She led the brown deer into the ward first, and after locking the brown deer in a cage far away from the Qilin, she grabbed the protective clothing on the hanger, picked up two cans of Qilin snacks, and walked out.

Mu Ling put on her clothes while walking up the mountain. The tourists behind her saw her and said, "Hey, Director Mu has passed by."

"Did you see what the animal was? It's too far away, and the test glasses can't detect it."

Amid the discussion, Mu Ling's figure gradually disappeared into the forest. Xiang Bie watched her back gradually disappear, and his brows became more and more furrowed.

At the same time, the distance between Mu Ling and Lightning became shorter and shorter, until Mu Ling stopped on the hillside ten meters away from Lightning.

Mu Ling stood in front of the stone, and the black cheetah stood behind the stone. It was in a posture that could attack at any time, with its upper body crouched low, and its sharp claws flashing black light.

Even its nails are black...

"Brother, there's no need, there's really no need. We will deal with the hyena. Don't bother yourself. You came down the mountain so suddenly, and we still have so many people here. If I scare you and you bite me again, I will really go bankrupt, you know?"

Mu Ling was practically begging Black Panther. She took out a can from her pocket, opened it with a tear, and poured all the meat sauce on the stone: "Eat it, and then go back. I beg you."

Black Panther looked at the meat sauce, then at the human in front of him, still without any relaxation.

Mu Ling opened another can: "This is a can of vegetables, with bitter melon added in it, which can clear away heat and reduce internal heat. I see that you are quite angry, so eat some to calm down."

After pouring the canned vegetables on the stone, Mu Ling took the two empty cans and stepped back more than ten steps before stopping.

The black panther showed half of its eyes and stared at her all the time. Mu Ling didn't know what it was going to do, so she could only accompany it in this stalemate.

After a while, the black panther suddenly moved. It approached the meat sauce, sniffed it with its nose twitching, and then licked a little tentatively.

Mu Ling saw that it had finally eaten it, and she was relieved: "Eat it, it's delicious, Qilin is the best, Qilin said it was good after eating it."

The black panther's scarlet tongue quickly ate all the meat sauce. It licked its mouth, and when it opened its mouth wide, its cold teeth were clearly visible.

Mu Ling smiled now, and waved her hand: "Okay, we're done, let's go back, hurry back."

Then she turned and walked down the mountain. After

walking a few steps, she looked back and saw that the black panther had walked out of the big rock that served as a shelter. It stood in front of the rock and looked at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling waved her hand again: "Let's go, go back, don't worry, we will deal with the hyena, and I will buy you a box of canned food with the bonus." Then

she walked down the mountain again.

After walking a few more steps, Mu Ling looked back again and saw that the black panther had walked forward a little and stopped about seven or eight meters away from her.

Mu Ling was stunned: "Why are you following me? Are you not full? No, brother, we have food at the distribution points on the mountain. You can go around and there is food everywhere."

After Mu Ling finished speaking, she saw that the black panther did not move, so she continued to walk down the mountain. After she walked more than ten meters, she looked back and saw that the black panther was right behind her, only two or three steps away from her!

"You scared me!" Mu Ling patted her chest, took a half step back, and stared at the black panther with wide eyes.

The black panther was also looking up at her.

After the man and the beast stared at each other for a while, Mu Ling thought for a while and asked: "Do you want to eat canned food? Okay, you come down with me, but you can't bite people randomly, are you obedient?"

The black panther did not move, and there was a dangerous light in its green eyes.

Mu Ling pointed to her right: "Come over here."

The black panther was silent.

Mu Ling waved: "Come, sit here."

The black panther seemed to understand the wave, and after hesitating for a moment, it slowly walked over and sat on the right side of Mu Ling.

Mu Ling's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed to her left: "Come here and try?"

The black panther paused for a moment, then stood up and walked around to the left to sit down.

"I'll go!" Mu Ling was completely surprised: "You understand the command?"

Mu Ling couldn't help but curled her fingers and tentatively touched the black panther's ears again. The black panther's ears trembled because of the itchiness, but it didn't avoid it.

Mu Ling touched the black panther's ear and was simply amazed: "Wow, I didn't expect you to be so docile. You look so dark, but I thought you were very social."

Mu Ling said, squatting down again and stretching out her hand to the black panther: "Try again, can you shake hands?"

The black panther put his white and slender fingers in front of his eyes. He looked at Mu Ling, then at Mu Ling's hand, and seemed to be struggling.

After several seconds, the black panther seemed to compromise, so he stretched his head over and pressed his chin on Mu Ling's palm.

Mu Ling: "..."

Mu Ling: "!!!"

What would you do when a cat puts its chin on your hand?

Mu Ling moved her fingers slightly almost instinctively, and the black cheetah, whose chin was pinched, felt relieved at once. It sat down softly on the ground, and then pressed its whole body against Mu Ling. When Mu

Ling came to her senses again, she was already sitting on the ground, and the black panther was lying on her knees, squinting at her. Mu Ling

was surprised to find that the way she was holding the black panther was exactly the same as the way she was holding the brown deer by the stream before!

"So you..." Mu Ling looked at the black panther, and she understood everything at once: "So you are not here to find a hyena, you are here to find a masseur. You kid, you saw that I am a level 10 cat stroking expert, right!"
