Chapter 26
Lieutenant Colonel Song was thinking about Pimi all night, and fell asleep in a daze until dawn. He woke up again after less than two hours of sleep. He looked at the time and it was only seven o'clock.
Since he couldn't fall asleep anyway, Lieutenant Colonel Song simply got up and thought about waiting at the door of the veterinary station. When Director Mu woke up, he would be able to see Pimi first.
As a result, when he arrived at the veterinary station, he found that the door of the veterinary station was open. Lieutenant Colonel Song was suspicious and knocked on the door: "Director Mu?"
There was no response from inside, so Lieutenant Colonel Song walked in lightly, but until he walked into the ward area and saw Pimi, he didn't see Director Mu, and even Qilin and Lightning were gone.
Lieutenant Colonel Song did not think too much. He was thinking of Pimi only. He squatted outside Pimi's cage and called softly: "Pimi..."
The skinny lion slightly opened his eyes, looked outside, and then closed his eyes weakly.
Lieutenant Colonel Song asked: "Pimi, are you feeling better?"
The black-haired lion did not respond.
Lieutenant Colonel Song: "Pimi, are you hungry?"
The black-haired lion did not respond.
Lieutenant Colonel Song: "Pimi, can I come in to see you?"
"Puff." The black-haired lion suddenly farted.
Lieutenant Colonel Song: "..."
Is Pimi refusing his visit? Or is it just a coincidence?
Lieutenant Colonel Song fell into deep thought.
At this time, there was a noise outside. Lieutenant Colonel Song thought that it was Director Mu who came back. He went out to see that it was Xiang Bie.
Xiang Bie paused when he saw Lieutenant Colonel Song.
Lieutenant Colonel Song hurriedly explained: "I came in because I saw the door was not closed..."
Xiang Bie frowned and looked inside: "Where is the director?"
Lieutenant Colonel Song shook his head: "I didn't see her when I came in, and the tearing tiger and the flaming leopard were not inside either."
Xiang Bie frowned even more tightly, he turned around and walked out.
Lieutenant Colonel Song was embarrassed to stay here alone, so he followed Xiang Bie out to take a look. As a result, they just took two steps and saw the golden tiger and the black leopard sitting in front of the glass window of the supermarket in the service area, staring blankly outside.
The two beasts stood there, like exhibits in a cabinet, too eye-catching. Xiang Bie followed them to the inside of the supermarket, and saw Mu Ling sitting on a chair in the prepared food area. Opposite her, there were several people in military uniforms standing or sitting.
Colonel Song was very familiar with the style of military uniforms, and immediately said, "Is this your garrison of the God King Star? Those standing ones are all wearing combat uniforms of the Beast Army..."
Xiang Bie pursed his lips and walked in directly.
At the same time, in the restaurant, Mu Ling was still struggling.
Just when Mu Ling was running away with Qilin and Shan Dian, the Major Chang behind her stopped her again and said that he had something to discuss with her, and he was very anxious. Mu Ling saw that he didn't look like he was going to arrest Shan Dian, so she invited him to the restaurant, poured him some water, and took out some snacks left over from yesterday, and listened to him. As
a result, the Major Chang asked her to help them catch a monster!
Director Mu, who had been quiet all his life: "..."
No, what does that mean? She is a civilian, what monster can she catch? It can't be that because she happened to hit a hyena yesterday, this Major Chang thought that she had amazing bones and talent, and was a good candidate for joining the army?
She was just lucky yesterday, her shooting skills are only at the level of shooting balloons in the amusement park!
Mu Ling was panicked, and was trying to figure out how to refuse without being too rude, when she saw Xiang Bie and Lieutenant Colonel Song walk in from outside the supermarket.
Mu Ling quickly stood up and greeted them loudly: "Brother Xiang! Lieutenant Colonel Song!"
When Mu Ling called out "Lieutenant Colonel Song", she deliberately called out very loudly, and after she finished calling out, she secretly looked at Major Chang. The meaning was very obvious: look, this is a lieutenant colonel, and he is also a lieutenant colonel of the Beast Army, you should go ask him for help!
When Major Chang heard the three words "Lieutenant Colonel Song", he was also stunned for a moment and stood up.
Lieutenant Colonel Song was a little surprised that Mu Ling was so enthusiastic about him. He was flattered and replied quickly, "Director Mu..."
Then he looked at Major Chang, recognized him as a major, and stretched out his hand to him, "Hello, Song Cheng from the Sky Hunter Star."
Major Chang leaned over quickly, "God King Star, Chang Jing."
After the two shook hands, Lieutenant Colonel Song asked, "Major Chang, what are you doing?" Major
Chang was a little embarrassed. For a moment, he didn't know whether he should tell this senior military officer from another planet about his purpose of the day. After all, it was a bit strange that he was so desperate and asked the zoo for support...
Xiang Bie suddenly spoke at this time. He asked Mu Ling, "What are Qilin and Lightning looking at?"
The tiger and the leopard had been sitting by the glass window for a long time, motionless. When someone came in, they didn't even turn their heads to look.
Mu Ling got angry when she heard this, she snorted: "I made them both stand in punishment! You know, Lightning just opened the door and ran out again, and it also brought Qilin out, and almost hurt the officer comrade!"
Xiang Bie: "..."
Xiang Bie glanced at Major Chang, and then looked back at Mu Ling. He actually wanted to say, who told you to always get used to them, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't say it. Lieutenant Colonel
Song was very surprised. He was not surprised that Lightning could actually open the door. After all, war beasts have been trained since childhood. Not to mention opening the door, some war beasts can even count. He was surprised that Director Mu could actually make a retired S-level war beast stand in punishment?
This Director Mu can not only maintain a good interactive relationship with retired war beasts, but also make them obey her orders?
Where on earth did she come from!
Major Chang looked at the time and became a little anxious. Their plan was to arrive at the entrance of the West Mountain of the Beek Jungle before nine o'clock at the latest, and it was already half past seven... Gritting his teeth, Major Chang finally ignored his face and whispered to Lieutenant Colonel Song: "Lieutenant Colonel Song, please excuse me for a moment..." Lieutenant Colonel Song was
a little surprised. What did he have to say to this Major Chang? But he still went to the side with the other party.
After a while, after listening to Major Chang's intention, Lieutenant Colonel Song was very surprised: "Are you here to borrow retired war beasts from the zoo? Isn't it against the rules for you to do this?"
Major Chang smiled bitterly: "But without S-class war beasts to determine the location, we can only rely on manpower to explore, and it is easy to get stuck in the mountains and unable to get out..."
Lieutenant Colonel Song was puzzled: "You don't have a single S-class war beast in your entire garrison?"
Skyhunting Star is a business planet with a larger area and more developed industry than God King Star. There are five S-class war beasts stationed in the army. Lieutenant Colonel Song has never encountered a shortage of S-class war beasts when performing official duties.
Major Chang was a little embarrassed and did not answer. Lieutenant
Colonel Song realized that his words were hurtful, so he hesitated and said: "I can talk to Director Mu for you, but Director Mu and I only met yesterday. She may not listen to me. You have to be mentally prepared."
Major Chang looked up at Lieutenant Colonel Song.
Lieutenant Colonel Song: "What's wrong?"
Major Chang shook his head: "No, I just thought that you would tell me a lot of things like retired war beasts are dangerous, like other people do, and then persuade me to give up this idea and not to have unrealistic thoughts..."
Lieutenant Colonel Song smiled: "If it were someone else, I would indeed persuade you like this, but this Director Mu... I don't know if it's right to say this, anyway, she is a bit supernatural... I feel that the war beasts in her hands are really good..."
Major Chang: "...Supernatural?" Lieutenant
Colonel Song pointed to the glass window: "Do you think she can only control the tearing tiger and the fire leopard? Oh, let me tell you, my Pimi, the S-level black-headed lion Pimi, has been fasting for a month. Last night, she took less than three minutes, and guess what, he was willing to eat!"
Major Chang: "!!!"
"It's like seeing a ghost!" Lieutenant Colonel Song said, "I also find it incredible. Not only me, but also the other zoo staff who came with me are confused. I heard them whispering last night that they all want to switch to the Bic Zoo, not for anything else, just to broaden their horizons!"
Major Chang: "..."
When Major Chang was talking to Lieutenant Colonel Song, Mu Ling was particularly excited. She thought that Major Chang was finally willing to give up her unreliable and join the arms of professionals. As a result, when they came back, the two of them actually joined forces!
Mu Ling stupidly listened to Lieutenant Colonel Song helping Major Chang to persuade her. After listening for a long time, she heard the key point: "Borrow the war beast?"
Not borrow her? Borrow the war beast?
Major Chang said in embarrassment: "Director Mu, we really want to borrow Qilin and Lightning. It was you who reported the news of the alien beasts deep in the Piccolo Jungle. You should be very aware of the seriousness of this. So we really need S-class warbeasts now. Of course, to borrow them, we must require Director Mu to come along. I wonder if you are free today..."
Frankly speaking, Mu Ling was not free. Pimi had just arrived yesterday, but because of the short time last night and Pimi's condition was very poor, Mu Ling only gave it a simple external examination. Today she originally wanted to use instruments to give it a full body examination. After all, she had to see the details of the internal dirt with her own eyes so that she could give it targeted rehabilitation later.
Secondly, the mental appraisal device will arrive today. Mu Ling is going to do mental appraisals on Qilin and Lightning today. Not only are netizens curious about their mental conditions, but Mu Ling is curious too. Mu Ling actually doesn't think that Qilin and Lightning's mental states are unstable, but others say so, so she has become insecure. She will feel relieved after a checkup.
Finally, because there was a disturbance by alien beasts in the mountains yesterday, the masters of the protective net stopped working again. Mu Ling planned to go up the mountain herself today and bring Shan Dian with her to work with the masters. With Shan Dian there, the masters would not have to worry about being attacked by alien beasts, and they could continue with their work. Brother Xiang would continue to patrol the mountains from the morning to prevent any more alien beasts in the park, while Brother Wei would stay at the foot of the mountain to take care of Pi Mi and Brown Deer.
Mu Ling was really busy today, with so many things to do...
"Of course, my help is definitely not in vain." Major Chang added: "I know that Director Mu may not be interested in this subsidy, but it is the only sincerity we can show. We will provide a subsidy of 10,000 interstellar coins per hour for each war beast, and distribute it to your garden. I hope Director Mu can really consider it..."
Mu Ling: "..." Xiang
Bie: "..." Xiang Bie
glanced at his director lightly. He thought that according to the director's lack of money, she should be very tempted, but strangely, she didn't show much enthusiasm?
One war beast is 10,000 per hour, two is 20,000, it's seven o'clock now, and if you start borrowing from now on, just borrow until noon, five hours, it will be 100,000 interstellar coins.
She's not tempted?
How could Mu Ling not be tempted, but she was still very hesitant. After a while, Mu Ling said, "In fact, the safety of the deep Beek Jungle is closely related to our Beek Zoo. Strictly speaking, that half of the mountain is also under the name of our Beek Zoo. It's just that it hasn't been developed yet, so it's now under the jurisdiction of the government. But for emotional and logical reasons, our Beek Zoo really can't sit idly by..."
Mu Ling sighed, "But Major Chang, there are two points I want to make. I have to say that, first of all, the animals in the park are definitely the most important to me. I am the director of the park, and I have the obligation to ensure their safety first. So for me now, the most urgent thing is to quickly repair the protective net in the middle of the mountain. Qilin and Lightning and I can help you, but we can't help indefinitely. We also have our own things to do... Secondly, the only S-level beasts I can lend out now are Qilin and Lightning, but Qilin is injured and Lightning is relatively Sensitive, just like just now at the door, you just touched me and the lightning attacked you. In my eyes, they are all very fragile children, so I don’t want them to be in too much danger, after all, they have retired... "
Major Chang said quickly: "Of course not, you and them just need to sit in the car and help us point the direction! They don’t need to do the charge! As for the time of assistance, as long as the efficiency is high, the mountain clearing operation will be over soon!"
Mu Ling was relieved to hear him say this, She smiled and nodded: "That's no problem, shall we go now?"
Major Chang said: "It's better to go now!"
Mu Ling looked at the time: "Can you wait for me for another fifteen minutes? I'll feed them breakfast and change the medicine."
There was no need to wait a little longer, Major Chang said: "Okay."
Mu Ling did not stop and ran to the door, shouting: "Qilin! Lightning! Go!"
The two beasts who were still facing the wall and thinking about their mistakes the previous second kicked their hind legs and rushed towards Mu Ling in unison!
When Mu Ling and the two beasts could no longer run away, Major Chang said to Lieutenant Colonel Song and Xiang Bie: "Director Mu's logic is very clear."
Lieutenant Colonel Song nodded: "Yes."
Xiang Bie turned his head to look in the direction where Mu Ling left, and after a moment of silence, he followed and helped her.
Ten minutes later, Mu Ling came out with Qilin and Shandian.
They got on the special car prepared by the military. Considering the unstable mental state of the two beasts, they were equipped with a medical kit in the car, which contained emergency medicines such as sedatives.
After the car started moving, the other three beast captains who were sitting in the car with Major Chang became uneasy: "Why not turn on the surveillance."
There was surveillance in Mu Ling's car. After all, retired war beasts were too dangerous, and no one could guarantee that they would behave well along the way. In case of a sudden stress reaction, in case Mu Ling was injured, they would know about it and rush over to save her.
Major Chang hesitated for a moment, but still turned on the surveillance.
So, in front of the small screen in the car, the four men all crowded over and stared closely at the one person and two beasts on the screen.
The special car was very empty, and Qilin and Lightning felt uncomfortable as soon as they got in the car. Mu Ling sat in the seat and watched them sniffing around and scratching the door with their claws.
Mu Ling hurriedly stopped him: "Come, come here."
Lightning was a black leopard. As soon as Mu Ling called it, it came over, jumped onto the seat next to Mu Ling, and put its face very close to Mu Ling.
Mu Ling reached out to touch its head, and the black leopard immediately put its ears behind its head obediently, then softened its body and lay on Mu Ling's knees.
Mu Ling rubbed its ears and called again: "Qilin."
Qilin was deadlocked at the door for a few seconds, and finally walked back slowly, stood in front of Mu Ling, and let out a low "wuwu" growl from his mouth.
Mu Ling lowered his head and kissed its forehead, and asked: "Are you uncomfortable?"
Qilin licked his mouth, raised his head and looked around the carriage.
Mu Ling hugged its neck and coaxed it: "There should be the smell of other war beasts here. This is a war beast vehicle. Major Chang and his men specially brought it out for us. But it should have been cleaned. I can smell the smell of detergent. Can you still smell it?"
Qilin took another half step forward, and then it pushed its head into Mu Ling's chin, and pushed its nose into Mu Ling's neck. It smelled Mu Ling's scent and stopped roaring.
Mu Ling simply hugged it like this, and then tilted her head to kiss its face and patted its butt: "Sit down."
The tiger sat down obediently, and its wet nose was always pressed against Mu Ling's skin, refusing to move.
Mu Ling just let it go. She patiently soothed the two beasts, whispering to them from time to time. When Shandian closed his eyes and seemed to be about to fall asleep, and Qilin's muscles were not as tense as before, Mu Ling knew that they finally relaxed.
At this time, Major Chang and his four companions in another car: "..."
Damn it, I was just observing, why do you think it's a bit sweet!
The captain of the first team said sourly: "My Xile never lets me hug him."
The captain of the second team echoed: "It's good that my Tiankong doesn't have to fan me with his tail."
The captain of the third team sighed: "Since my Xiongwei got a wife, he doesn't even listen to my instructions now, and just follows his wife around..."
The three of them were getting more and more upset. Looking at the tiger and leopard on the screen who were reluctant to leave Mu Ling for a minute, the three of them silently said to Major Chang: "Turn it off, it's boring."
Major Chang: "..."
-
Military vehicles are amphibious vehicles, the kind that can switch between land, sea and air at any time. After leaving the city, the car entered the suspension mode and the speed increased.
Finally, before half past eight, they had arrived at Xishankou on the other side of the Beek Jungle.
There were already many soldiers guarding the perimeter of Xishankou.
When Mu Ling got off the car, she saw war beasts being pulled down from other beast-hunting vehicles.
The war beasts were of different species, and they were led by well-trained soldiers, wearing majestic armor. Mu Ling even saw a camel in the herd of war beasts. Camels have humps, and there were two helmets on the humps of the camel...
Using helmets to protect the humps is safe, but it's a little funny. What can we do?
Mu Ling started to laugh as she watched, and then she couldn't help but sigh: "They are all so handsome."
At this moment, her cheek was suddenly touched by something wet. Mu Ling turned around and saw that it was Shan Dian standing on the car, lowering his head and nudging her with his nose.
Mu Ling smiled awkwardly, quickly turned back and hugged Shan Dian's face and kissed him: "Not handsome, not handsome, they are not as handsome as us Shan Dian and Qilin, you are just a circle bigger than them, you are of course the most handsome!"
Mu Ling was not lying, there were tigers and leopards in that group of war beasts, but they were not as majestic as Qilin and Shan Dian, tigers were not as fierce as Qilin, and leopards were not as sharp as Shan Dian. Mu Ling was very careful, and she felt that her Qilin and Shan Dian were the most handsome guys on this mountain.
Qilin jumped down from the car, and Lightning also jumped down. The two beasts were on the left and right, sandwiching Mu Ling in the middle.
Mu Ling thought they were going to get close to her again, but when she looked carefully, she found that their eyes were looking into the forest, one looking to the left and the other looking to the right. Their sharp pupils gradually deepened, and the nails hidden in their hairy claws gradually appeared...
Major Chang and the three beast captains came over. Major Chang was about to talk to Mu Ling, but the three beast captains quickly held him down and told him not to move.
Major Chang looked over and found that Qilin and Shandian had strange looks in their eyes. He asked, "Are there exotic beasts on both sides?"
The captain of a team said in a deep voice, "It should be. It seems that there are indeed many exotic beasts in the mountains, and the range is very large. We can't delay and we have to go into the mountains as soon as possible."
Major Chang nodded and said, "Go and drive their car here."
Soon, Mu Ling, Qilin, and Shandian got on a professional military mountain bike. Because the mountain road was difficult to travel, the car was very bumpy. As Mu Ling was bumping, she remembered the fear she felt when she was dominated by the mountain bike on her first day at Bick Zoo...
But compared with the rugged and steep West Mountain, the mountain road in their zoo is simply a broad road!
"Roar!" When the car reached a fork in the road, the black panther suddenly roared to the right.
Mu Ling touched Shan Dian's head and said to the driver, "Right."
The driver went to the right, and the other cars behind their car also went to the right... After a while, the A-class war beasts in the cars behind also began to get agitated.
Mu Ling looked back and saw that a car behind had stopped. An A-class war beast and several other B-class war beasts got off the car at the same time. As soon as they got off the car, they ran in a certain direction, and several soldiers behind hurriedly chased them.
This mountain road is so difficult to walk on, but the war beasts walked as if they were walking on flat ground. Not only that, the soldiers behind them also chased them effortlessly. Obviously, as a beast army, they usually do a lot of mountain training.
Mu Ling looked back at Qilin and Lightning. They seemed to be very accustomed to being the pioneers. They did not run away with the A-level and B-level beasts. They seemed to know that they did not need to do this job themselves. They were as steady as a mountain. Their cold beast eyes were always paying attention to any disturbance in the forest. At the same time, their ears and noses were floating gently. This was to identify the position of other beasts in the air...
Mu Ling made Qilin and Lightning very nervous. They did not dare to touch them for a while.
Ah, women who concentrate on their work are really the most beautiful!
Qilin and Lightning are so handsome!
The car continued to move forward, from nine o'clock to half past ten, one after another, many A-level and B-level war beasts in the back left, and then many came back.
Every time they came back, Mu Ling could see the soldiers following behind them, holding a bag in their hands. The bag should be filled with exotic beasts that were still alive and could be taken back as samples.
These exotic beasts were first transported back to the foot of the mountain by another group of people, and then the assault team continued to go deeper into the forest.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, the Qilin's tiger roar was suddenly deafening!
It had never used such a loud noise before, but this time, it was terrifyingly loud!
Mu Ling quickly covered her ears, and before she could react, lightning suddenly jumped out of the window and jumped directly out of the car!
"Lightning!" Mu Ling shouted hurriedly, but Qilin on the other side also dug open the car door and jumped out of the car, going in the same direction as Lightning!
"Qilin!"
Mu Ling was anxious. Major Chang, who was behind, saw this and hurried over, got into Mu Ling's car, and said to the driver: "Catch up!"
At the same time, in the inner area of Bick Zoo.
Qingjia took the little wolf to the mountain stream to drink water as usual.
Not far behind them, Gus, who had followed them all the way, was sticking out his tongue, lying on the stone, looking at them from a distance.
The little wolf still had the previous bandage tied on his body, because the medicine had not been changed, the bandage was already dirty.
But looking at the little wolf's actions, it was no longer particularly unsteady when walking, and it was obvious that the wound had healed a lot.
"Bang." The little wolf fell headfirst, and suddenly its head was buried in the stream.
The gray wolf with red beast eyes immediately grabbed its head and dragged it up.
After the little wolf got on the shore, it stood on all fours and shook its fur quickly.
Qing Mi lowered his head to lick the water off its head.
While licking, Qing Mi suddenly raised his head, and looked in a certain direction in the distance with his deep eyes.
The little wolf felt less uncomfortable and wanted to drink water again, but his mother suddenly grabbed his head again and dragged him back!
Qing Mi dragged the little wolf all the way into the woods.
Gus, who was far away, stood up immediately. He watched the gray wolf approach, tentatively shook his tail, and stretched his neck in the direction of Qing Mi.
Qingmi stopped in front of Gus with the wolf cub in its mouth. Gus was very excited and was about to step forward, but the next second, a wolf cub was suddenly thrown in front of his paw.
Gus looked down at the wolf cub, then at Qingmi, and then licked the wolf cub's fur gently.
The wolf cub finally stood up with difficulty. It staggered to find its mother, but Qingmi pushed it back with its nose, then turned around and ran away. The
gray snow wolf ran for several meters, looked back at the wolf cub, and then ran away again.
Its speed was as swift as the wind. In less than a moment, only grass leaves were shaking in the dense bushes. Its figure had disappeared without a trace, and it was nowhere to be found...
