Chapter 24

After leaving the Beak Zoo, several military officers sat in the car, still feeling a bit nervous.

At this moment, one of the officers suddenly turned on his optical computer, and after browsing the Star Network for a long time, he slapped his thigh and said, "I said that the name of Piccolo Zoo sounded familiar, so this is it!"

The others were confused and asked, "What?"

The officer played the video, which was the part where Mu Ling cut Qilin's nails: "It's this video. You didn't know about the closed training last week. I have seen it several times, but I didn't notice that this zoo is actually the zoo of our God King Planet! This zoo is awesome. It can live in peace with war beasts that have retired due to injuries!"

The troops are very busy with daily duty and training, and the optical computers have been turned off for a long time. When there is any hot news, the big bosses in the army often delay eating melons or miss it completely.

Everyone stared at the video with their eyes wide open, and then exclaimed: "Isn't this the tiger just now! It's actually a Ripping Tiger!"

Not everyone can recognize the species of tigers. The Beast Guard is naturally familiar with the species of war beasts, but ordinary soldiers can't tell them apart.

After a video was finished, the officer flipped through the pages again: "Let's see what breed that black panther is. Hey, it seems they haven't released any video of that black panther. Let me search again."

The officer searched the entire Internet for "Bic Zoo" and "black panther" and actually found it. He said, "Got it, got it. Hey, it was released a few minutes ago, but it wasn't released by Bic Zoo."

Several other officers rushed over to take a look, and they found that the term "Bic Zoo Black Panther" was already in the top 50 hot searches!

Looking at the content about Black Panther, they are all travel sharing posts posted by some amateur accounts...

[Today I visited the Bic Zoo and saw the unicorn and lightning. I was really happy. Before leaving, Director Mu prepared small gifts for each of us. It was really thoughtful. Attached pictures [gift box.jpg][gift opened.jpg], attached video [Director Mu sitting in the middle of the pond, interacting intimately with a tiger and a leopard.avi]. ] [[

Cheers][Cheers] Ah, it feels so wonderful to see my wife in real life. I saw my wife at the Bic Zoo today! My wife is super beautiful, has a super good personality, and was smiling all the time. She also arranged a lot of activities for us. It was just that due to an accident later, the activities were not completed as expected. But I will go again with my family after the opening! Attached is the picture [Bic Zoo Gate.jpg], and the video [Director leads the black panther down from the mountain.avi]. 】

【Ding Ding, I successfully checked in at Bic Zoo. This time, the company team-building went to Bic Zoo. As expected, I saw the unicorn and the lightning. The lightning is really handsome! Attached is a high-definition picture of the lightning and a high-definition picture of the unicorn! 】

【Show some small souvenirs I bought at Bic Zoo today. Picture 1 is a small gift from Director Mu. The director is really thoughtful. The blessing on each postcard is handwritten, and the photos are different. The director really took a hundred different photos and made them into postcards for us! She really did it. I cried to death! This photo of me is a mane monkey. I was born in the year of the monkey. It's just too fate! In conclusion, Bic Zoo is really a very sincere zoo. I recommend it to friends who want to go there without thinking! 】

【Family members, who understands? The moment Lightning rushed over from a distance and confronted Kirin, my hair stood on end. Attached is the video of Lightning running towards the director and being stopped by Kirin. And when we gave Kirin a medicinal bath, it was hilarious. The director had already told us how to make a medicinal bath, but my colleagues were still figuring out the proportion and composition of the medicinal materials. Hahaha, occupational diseases are rampant! 】

Afterwards, many people posted similar posts one after another. The six officers understood that the Bic Zoo had already started to receive customers. Netizens also understood and were all confused...

——【What, what are you talking about? Bic Zoo opened for business without telling me? Huh? How come I didn’t know! No one informed me! 】

——【My red eye is about to break out! Lightning! Fire Leopard Lightning! Where is the lightning? How come I didn’t know that there was lightning in the Bic Zoo! 】 ——【

@Bic Zoo Official Account, is this some new cuckoldry? My wife dated a hundred people for a whole day without telling me! 】

Netizens directly surrounded the accounts that posted the star posts, and countless people tagged the Beak Zoo and asked the director to come out to explain!

Just like that, the Beak Zoo's hot search ranking became higher and higher!

The six officers were stunned.

After returning to the military headquarters, the six officers immediately reported the matter, and also talked about the bonus and the banner. After all, although they were the ones who boasted, they still had to ask their superiors to help communicate with the review team. Otherwise, the reward was not in compliance with the regulations and would not be issued.

The superior of several officers was named Chang. After listening to what his subordinates said, Major Chang frowned, turned on his own computer, and started watching the videos.

After watching several videos, Major Chang said thoughtfully, "I understand. You don't have to worry about what happens next. Go back."

The six officers thought that the issue of the bonus and the banner was resolved, but Major Chang turned around and took the video to the conference room. He said to the teams who were holding a combat integration meeting, "Come here and take a look at these videos." The team members in

the room were confused. After watching the content of the video, several of the Beast Guard team members were shocked. The captains were all confused. They pointed at the tigers and leopards in the video in astonishment and asked, "The retired Ripping Tigers and Swift Fire Leopards... why... do they still listen to people's orders? Why do they stand when the female keeper tells them to stand and sit when she tells them to sit? What was the reason for their retirement? Did they suffer from brain damage or mental disorder?"

Major Chang sat in the first seat and nodded, "Yes."

Several Beast Guard captains were even more puzzled. They stared at the video with their eyes wider than the other.

Major Chang said at this time: "Our Shenwang Planet is not a high-risk planet for alien beasts, and there are only three teams of Beast Guard troops assigned to us. Frankly speaking, it is enough at normal times, but once we carry out a larger operation, we will not have enough humans and beasts, and we will have to transfer support from other planets. The captains of the three teams should be aware of our current predicament."

The three Beast Guard captains bowed their heads one after another.

Who doesn't know this? The beast army on their planet is too small. With insufficient manpower, they have to call for support, but support is not always available at any time. For example, this time, it was said that there were alien beasts in the deep jungle of Beek, and the major asked them to lead a team to patrol the mountain tomorrow, but they only have three teams in total. How can they check such a big mountain? They just applied for support from the higher-ups, but they said that support would not arrive until three days later, so they have to figure out a way in these three days.

The key is that three days is not a short time. They are afraid that more animals will be infected in the deep mountains. If a monster tide breaks out on the God King Planet, who will be responsible?

That's why they held a meeting here for half a day but couldn't come to a conclusion. No matter how they allocate the tasks for tomorrow's inspection, the efficiency will be very low, and safety cannot be guaranteed.

Seeing everyone's gloomy faces, Major Chang said, "So, for tomorrow's patrol, I want to contact the Piccolo Zoo to see if they can help us. They have two S-class warbeasts, and you should know the value of this."

The sense of smell, hearing, and insight of S-class warbeasts are five times that of A-class warbeasts and ten times that of B-class warbeasts. S-class warbeasts can smell the scent of alien beasts one hundred kilometers away, while A-class warbeasts can only smell within thirty kilometers, and B-class warbeasts can only smell within ten kilometers. The comparison is very obvious. S-class warbeasts are the most advanced exclusive navigators for alien beasts. Bring two of them and the work efficiency will increase dozens of times!

Although this is the truth, but...

"Major, these two S-rank warbeasts are retired warbeasts..."

Major Chang frowned, "What's wrong with retiring? Look at the video, they are so energetic, and this Swift Fire Leopard just killed a primary mutant hyena today. It's very powerful."

The subordinates were speechless, "Major, you are not from the Beast Guard, you may not know that the brain nerve damage of retired warbeasts due to mental disorder is irreversible. They can no longer cooperate with humans like normal warbeasts. They will suddenly riot and hurt humans, will be very resistant to contact with humans, and will have great malice towards humans..." The subordinates

spoke in a lower and lower voice, At the end, he fell silent. He looked at the video window suspended in the air in confusion...

riot damage... resistance to contact... extreme malice... It seemed that they didn't see anything. They only saw a tiger and a leopard circling around the female keeper, and rubbing their big heads against the palms of the female keeper's hands. Even when they sat down, they wanted to sit next to the female keeper and rest their heads on the female keeper's knees...

Subordinates: "..."

Major Chang saw that they were all silent, smacked his lips, and said, "Let me ask first, I have to try."

As he said that, Major Chang started to ask someone for the phone number of the current director of the Beak Zoo.

After several twists and turns, he finally got the number and called it, but the line was busy.

-Yes

, Mu Ling is communicating with someone else now.

The person who is looking for her is none other than her direct supervisor, Director Wang of the Forestry Bureau.

"Rescue animals?" Mu Ling was a little confused and didn't quite understand: "Do you want our zoo to accept animals abandoned by other zoos?"

On the other end of the communication, Director Wang's voice was very deep: "It's not abandonment. Alas, they have no choice..."

Director Wang sighed: "Actually, it's a zoo on Kuimu Star called Happy Canyon. They accepted an S-class retired black-headed lion a month ago. When it entered the zoo, the mental state of the lion was not very good. Unexpectedly, in less than half a month, it really showed very serious self-harm behavior. The diagnosis determined that it was depression, which was actually caused by mental trauma. Happy Canyon has arranged the largest venue for the black-headed lion. But it’s useless. Now the black-headed lion is dying. It was rescued once this afternoon. Its previous owner and the people in Happy Canyon have seen the video you posted online. They all think that only a purely wild environment can make the retired S-class war beast let down its guard. So I want to ask if you, Piccolo Zoo, are willing to accept it. If you are willing, they will send the lion here now, using a special military ship, and it will arrive within two hours... "

Mu Ling frowned when she heard this. To be honest, with the current financial situation of their zoo, they have no ability to accept new animals... She just lost a lot of money today!!!

But it was rescued once at noon, and it was self-mutilating. If the pure wild environment can really make the lion better, Mu Ling doesn't want such a heroic beast to end its life so tragically.

After hesitating for a moment, Mu Ling finally nodded: "Then send it over, but we can't guarantee anything. We can only see if the lion can adapt to our environment here."

Director Wang was relieved immediately: "Okay, as long as you are willing to accept it, I will notify them now!"

After hanging up the call, Mu Ling saw Brother Xiang and Brother Wei looking over, so he told them the matter.

After listening, the two fell silent.

"If it has already committed suicide, then it should be severe depression..."

Wei Li said, thinking of two years ago, when the Piccolo Zoo had just opened and advertised itself as a pure wild animal park. At that time, there was also an S-level desert foal with severe depression that could not survive in other zoos and was transferred here. The idea was to give it a try, but because the condition was too serious, the wild environment could not alleviate such severe neurological trauma. In the end, the desert foal only persisted for three days and died...

Wei Li sighed. : "Director, let's prepare for the worst."

Mu Ling was stunned for a moment, a little surprised: "Ah? For depression, can't it be relieved through psychological and behavioral counseling?"

The veterinary book she read said so...

Wei Li shook his head, wanting to say that war beasts are different, but Brother Xiang suddenly interrupted him: "Send him to the mountain as soon as he comes?"

Mu Ling looked at Xiang Bie and shook her head: "He is said to be very weak and has just been rescued. I feel he needs to stay in the ward area for a few days. I'll go and clean up a cage."

Mu Ling said, and walked outside.

After Mu Ling left, Wei Li asked, "Brother Xiang, why didn't you let me explain it clearly to the director?"

Xiang Bie lowered his head to pack up the things in his hands, and said lightly, "The common sense you said may not work for the director."

Wei Li was puzzled: "What?"

Xiang Bie was silent for a moment, and said, "Qilin and Lightning don't have neurological trauma?"

Wei Li wanted to say that this was different, Qilin and Lightning were not so serious, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly remembered that the way Qilin, Lightning and the director got along was indeed very strange. After hesitating for a while, Wei Li closed his mouth silently...

-

Two hours later, in the sky above the service area of ​​​​Bick Zoo, a small starship with red lights on was suspended in the air.

Below, Xiang Bie and Wei Li walked out of the garage. Xiang Bie took off his gloves, walked to the open space, and waved to the sky.

Soon, the starship landed smoothly, and several people came out of it. The first one was a middle-aged man in military uniform with a haggard face. He took the initiative to shake hands with Xiang Bie and said in a hoarse voice: "Hello, Song Cheng."

Xiang Bie glanced at the other's shoulder badge and said: "Lieutenant Colonel Song, hello."

Lieutenant Colonel Song's face was very gloomy. He looked back and saw that behind him, several staff members wearing Happy Canyon Zoo uniforms were pushing out a huge iron cage. In the cage, there was an extremely huge black-haired lion.

Xiang Bie frowned when he saw the lion's condition.

Wei Li, who came over a step later, blurted out: "Why is it so thin?"

Lieutenant Colonel Song pursed his lips, looking grim, and said nothing.

The staff of Happy Canyon explained in a low voice: "Pimi lost fifty kilograms in one month. Its self-mutilation was mainly due to starvation..."

An adult black-headed lion weighs about three hundred kilograms. It lost fifty kilograms in one month. What a terrifying number.

Wei Li noticed that when the staff of Happy Canyon said this, Lieutenant Colonel Song's eyes were already red.

Xiang Bie said to Wei Li: "Go call the director."

Wei Li turned around and was about to go to the veterinary station, when he saw the director heard the noise and came out wearing protective clothing.

Mu Ling walked quickly to the starship. She first shook hands with Lieutenant Colonel Song, and then looked at the skinny lion in the cage who was drowsy and still receiving an IV.

An employee of Happy Canyon explained, "This is nutrient solution, it's for replenishing Pimi's energy."

Mu Ling nodded to show that she understood. After all, she had just been rescued, so replenishing energy was a must. She said, "Then send it to the veterinary station in our park first. There's a ward inside, and it's all cleaned up."

With the help of the people from Happy Canyon, they quickly got the lion to the door of the veterinary station. However, the gate was too small and the cage was too big, so the cage could not fit through the gate. If they wanted Pimi to get into the veterinary station, they had to open the cage, lift it out, and then lift it in.

But Pimi is not in a coma now. Although it is weak, it is still very defensive and aggressive. If they lift it like this, it will definitely resist. When they put it into the cage before, it was in a coma. Now they have no way to get it out.

Lieutenant Colonel Song and the Happy Canyon staff suddenly looked unhappy. They did not want to give Pimi another injection of anesthesia. With its current physical condition, it is very likely that it will never wake up after anesthesia...

Seeing that everyone else was silent, Mu Ling didn't know what was wrong with them. She just thought that they saw that Pimi looked too pitiful and couldn't bear to touch it again, so she said: "It's okay, you guys take a rest, Brother Xiang, Brother Wei, you guys help lift it."

Xiang Bie didn't say anything.

Wei Li was embarrassed. He whispered, "Director, the lion is still awake..."

The implication was, how can it be lifted? It can't be lifted at all.

Mu Ling was stunned for a moment. She looked at the lion in the cage with a sad face and a dazed look. She said "oh" twice and nodded quickly, "You mean, you can let it walk out by itself, right? Okay, Pimi, can you walk by yourself?"

Mu Ling said, squatting down and asked the lion through the cage.

Everyone: "..."

Lieutenant Colonel Song, as Pimi's former master, had to explain: "Director Mu, Pimi no longer listens to orders. If it was before, you would say go, and it would listen, but now, it can't do that anymore..."

Mu Ling frowned when she heard that. She looked at the big lion in the cage and asked tentatively: "Pimi, can you go? Go? Go?"

Lieutenant Colonel Song saw that Director Mu was so persistent, and then Sighed...

But at this moment, the lion in the cage suddenly turned its head to look at the woman squatting opposite it. After two seconds, the lion licked its mouth tiredly, and then it used its thin limbs to barely support its bulky body...

It stood up, standing a little shaky...

And its sad and lifeless eyes were looking at Mu Ling, as if it heard the word "go" from Mu Ling.

Lieutenant Colonel Song: "?"

Lieutenant Colonel Song was stunned.

Mu Ling felt very distressed. She wrapped her fingers with the sleeves of her protective suit, reached into the cage, and rubbed the lion's head.

The lion quietly let Mu Ling touch it, its eyelids slightly closed, and suddenly, its knees went weak, and the whole lion fell back to the ground with a clang.

Mu Ling was startled and frowned: "No, it doesn't have enough physical strength. It won't work to just give it nutrient solution. It still needs to eat, or at least drink some water."

Mu Ling walked quickly into the veterinary station, filled a basin with water, and opened two cans and put them in the food bowl.

Lieutenant Colonel Song said outside: "Director Mu, don't waste your energy, it won't eat."

If it wanted to eat, it would have eaten long ago. It wouldn't eat anything he fed it, not to mention that this Director Mu was just a stranger...

Mu Ling had already brought the water and food bowls over. She put the two bowls diagonally into the cage, and then she continued to squat beside the cage, saying in a gentle voice: "Pi Mi, drink some water and eat something, okay? Just one bite will be fine, okay?"

The tired lion looked at the food bowl and rice bowl with a cloudy look, motionless.

Lieutenant Colonel Song lowered his head, his eyes full of sadness.

Mu Ling did not give up. She reached in and touched the lion's head again, then she dipped some meat sauce with her sleeve and fed the meat sauce directly to the lion's mouth.

The lion smelled the meat sauce and turned his head away.

Mu Ling approached again: "Take a bite, just a small bite, okay?"

The lion dodged in several directions, but could not avoid the meat sauce stuck under its skin. It seemed that it had no choice but to roll up its tongue and lick the meat sauce off Mu Ling's sleeve.

Mu Ling quickly took another sip and said: "Take another bite."

The lion stared at the meat sauce that appeared again. It seemed a little confused and couldn't tell whether it had eaten it just now. It stuck out its tongue again and licked it again.

Mu Ling took another sip.

Mu Ling was like an ant moving house. While the lion was still confused and fuzzy, she fed it two cans of food in small sips. Her sleeves were already very dirty, but she didn't wipe them. She brought the basin of water over and put it to the lion's mouth: "Take a sip of this, too."

Each time she said it was just one sip, but in the end it was just endless sips.

The lion seemed to be numb. It licked the water absentmindedly, just like licking meat sauce, and then licked the water again...

After drinking half a basin, the meat sauce and water under its eyelids were finally gone. The lion breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered something. It slowly stood up again, trembling its limbs, and looked at the door of the iron cage.

Mu Ling smiled and praised: "Our Pimi is awesome. He still remembers to walk by himself, right? Pimi is really smart! Then sister will open the door."

Mu Ling opened the iron gate for it, and then she led the way slowly in front. The lion staggered out of the cage and followed Mu Ling with three steps.

After Mu Ling led the lion into the ward area.

Lieutenant Colonel Song and the Happy Canyon employees behind: "..."

"???????"

What happened just now?

Wait, why did they send Pimi here?

Because Pimi mutilated himself, went on a hunger strike...

Mainly because of the hunger strike, it was the hunger strike that caused the self-mutilation...

Yes, they sent Pimi here because he refused to eat.

Refused... to eat...

refused...

Several people lowered their heads silently, looking quietly at the empty food bowl and the half-drunk water bowl in the cage in front of them.

Several people: "???????"

Huh?

Is this the correct way to feed a lion?

Is this how they feed animals in the Piccolo Zoo?

But as soon as their keepers approached the lions, the lions would attack them...

The lions would not let them touch them, nor would they let them feed them...

Lieutenant Colonel Song was confused...

The CPUs of the Happy Canyon employees were burnt out...

It seemed that they could not learn the trade secrets of their competitors...
