Chapter 30

When they went up the mountain, they took a mountain bike.

Mu Ling drove the car, and Qing Mi sat in the passenger seat.

Qing Mi stuck his wolf head out of the window the whole time, judging the direction by the smell of the wind, just like Lightning judging the position of the alien beast when sitting in the car. Only

when they reached the place where they needed to change the route, Qing Mi would retract his head and use his wet nose to nudge Mu Ling's arm, indicating that Mu Ling had gone the wrong way.

And when Mu Ling went the right way, Qing Mi would lick Mu Ling's ears as a reward.

Mu Ling, whose ears were all wet: "..."

You don't have to lick them every time!

They went up the mountain like this, and in less than two hours, they entered the inner circle.

After the car drove for a while, Qing Mi suddenly came over, pressed Mu Ling's arm with its claws, and then came over to lick Mu Ling, this time licking her face and neck, anyway, it licked Mu Ling so hard that she couldn't drive.

Mu Ling knew that they had arrived at their destination, so she quickly stopped the car and wiped her face with her sleeve.

Sure enough, as soon as the car stopped, Qing Mi immediately used its claws to dig at the car door.

Mu Ling helped it open the door again, and the giant wolf jumped down with a leap. After a few steps, it stopped again and looked back at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling had been to the inner area, but had never been to this area. She looked at the lush jungle outside, swallowed her saliva, put the tranquilizer gun on her waist, put on a protective suit, and then got out of the car.

When Qingji saw Mu Ling get off the car, he continued to walk forward. He walked very nimbly, and could easily jump over any stone or branch. Mu Ling had to struggle and stumble after him for a long time before catching up with him.

After walking for about ten minutes, Mu Ling suddenly heard a faint groaning sound.

Then, Qingji moved very quickly, jumping onto a large stone in a few steps, and then went behind the stone and stopped.

Mu Ling walked over quickly and saw that there was actually a cave behind the stone. A large stone half covered the cave, blocking the entrance. Looking inside from the gap in the cave, he could see a little wolf with a black bandage tied around its body standing in the cave, calling anxiously to the outside.

Mu Ling thought that this was the reason why Qing Mi came down the mountain to find her. The little wolf accidentally fell into a cave, and Qing Mi asked her to rescue the little wolf. She was still wondering, how did the little wolf fall into such a small gap?

Then Qing Mi used his sharp and strong claws to dig and pulled the stone blocking the cave entrance away on the spot, revealing a wide and complete cave.

Mu Ling: "..."

It turned out that the stone was put there by Qing Mi to prevent the little wolf from running around.

The cave entrance was finally opened, and the little wolf immediately jumped up. Qing Mi also felt sorry for the child, so he directly grabbed the little wolf's head, pulled it up by the roots, and dragged it up.

Mu Ling: "..."

The little wolf finally stood on the ground. It shook its head, stood up shakily, looked at its mother, and then looked at Mu Ling.

Qing Mi lowered his head to lick the little wolf's fur, but the little wolf stared at Mu Ling and observed her. While observing, it also sniffed. After smelling a familiar smell, it jumped up and staggered to Mu Ling's side.

The little wolf pounced, stood up with its two front paws, and grabbed Mu Ling's trouser legs.

Mu Ling looked at the wolf cub's hair that had blown up and was covered in mud and dust. She picked it up helplessly, tapped its forehead and said, "No one would believe you if you said you were not your mother's biological child. You look like a beggar from your family."

"Oh, oh, oh..." the wolf cub cried softly, opened its mouth and bit Mu Ling's finger, and licked her hard.

Mu Ling let it lick her. She simply sat on a big rock and let the wolf cub lie on her knees. Then she looked at the bandage on the wolf cub.

After removing the dirty and wet bandage, Mu Ling found that the wolf cub's wound had rotted, and some flesh was even stuck to the bandage. When the bandage was torn off, the wolf cub felt pain and made a "whine" sound in its throat.

Qingji came over, sniffed the wolf cub's wound, and then licked it.

Mu Ling quickly blocked its mouth and said, "Be good, don't lick it."

The wolf cub's wound obviously needed to be treated again. The lack of frequent dressing changes and the poor environment caused the wound to deteriorate. If the wolf cub had taken the medicine given by Brother Xiang and Brother Wei every day, the wound would at least not have become inflamed and festered like this. But looking at the direction they are now, Mu Ling knows that the wolf cub has not eaten the food given by Brother Xiang and others for many days.

Animals on the mountain are fed at fixed points. For example, when feeding rabbits, it is impossible to feed so many rabbits one by one. The keepers will put two to three days' worth of food in a place where the rabbits often appear, and the rabbits can come and eat when they want.

However, the animals in the outer area are easy to feed, while the animals in the inner area are difficult to feed.

The animals in the outer area are mostly herbivores, and the areas they live in are often fixed, and the feeding sites are also fixed. However, the animals in the inner area, such as wolves, wild boars, and some retired war beasts, like to change their habitats frequently, so when feeding them, they are generally fed at fixed locations, with live animals added.

There is a fixed feeding point every few dozen kilometers, where animal food is placed, and anyone passing by can have a bite. In places outside the fixed feeding points, some purchased live chickens and ducks are placed for beasts that do not like to eat animal food, or for war beasts that are mentally ill and have forgotten where the feeding point is to hunt and eat by themselves.

Qing Mi used to roam in the east of the inner circle, so after the little wolf returned to the mountain, Brother Xiang and his men mixed anti-inflammatory drugs and painkillers in the animal food at more than a dozen distribution points in the east.

As a result, no one knew that Qing Mi had quietly migrated to the west with the little wolf. Looking at the little wolf's injuries, I'm afraid that since it came to the mountain, it has not taken any medicine. If it is not taken care of, its meat will rot to the point where the bones can be seen.

Qing Mi probably smelled the rotten meat on the little wolf, so he came down the mountain to find her.

Mu Ling rubbed Qing Mi's head and explained, "I have to take the little wolf down the mountain for treatment. All the rotten meat on it has to be shaved off. It has to be well taken care of in the ward. It can't follow you up the mountains and down the sea anymore."

Qing Mi didn't understand what Mu Ling said. She stepped back and forth with her two front paws anxiously, then stretched out and licked Mu Ling's head again.

Mu Ling hugged its neck: "I know, I will cure it. Let's go back."

Mu Ling walked back with the little wolf in her arms, and Qing Mi hurriedly followed.

After getting in the car, Mu Ling laid the backrest of the passenger seat flat, so that the passenger seat was expanded and Qing Mi and the little wolf could sit together.

On the way down the mountain, the little wolf was restless. From time to time, it wanted to crawl towards Mu Ling, but every time it crawled over, its mother would hold its head and drag it back, then hold it in her arms and lick its fur.

Qing Mi was obviously really worried about the wolf cub's injury. He wanted to lick the wolf cub's wound several times, but was always discovered by the sharp-eyed Mu Ling. Mu Ling pinched his mouth and sternly stopped him: "You can't lick like this, the wound will get bigger the more you lick it!"

Qing Mi's mouth was pinched, and he could only look at Mu Ling innocently, with a pair of dark and gloomy beast eyes, bloody and confused.

Mu Ling chuckled, let go of his mouth, rubbed his hair, and said softly: "Be obedient."

Qing Mi finally obeyed and only licked the wolf cub's forehead.

After a while, the little wolf began to feel sleepy. It curled up in its mother's arms and slowly closed its eyes. Seeing this, Qingji pressed the little wolf into her arms again, then she also lay down, facing Mu Ling's direction, and closed her eyes.

When Mu Ling turned around, she felt her heart melt. Qingji would sleep next to her. What did this mean? It meant that she had begun to trust her!

Mu Ling suddenly felt extremely proud. She reached out and gently touched Qingji's hair. The sensitive black snow wolf immediately opened its eyes, but after seeing that it was Mu Ling, it licked its mouth, had no reaction, and closed its eyes again.

The car continued to go down the mountain. Ten minutes later, when Mu Ling was about to leave the mountain area and drive the car back to the main road, there was a sudden "click" sound from a bush in the distance. Mu Ling looked over there curiously, and saw that a very sturdy tree was swaying and leaning, and it was falling towards her! !

! !

What's going on!

Mu Ling was scared to death. Seeing that the tree was about to hit her mountain bike, Mu Ling hurriedly stepped on the brakes!

Accompanied by a "squeak" friction sound...

"Bang!" The big tree hit the open space in front of the mountain bike, and the distance between the trunk and the front of the mountain bike was less than half a meter!

In other words, if Mu Ling hadn't stepped on the brakes in time, she and Qingjiao Wolf would have been crushed by the tree!

Someone was trying to kill her!

Mu Ling was shocked and scared. She turned her gaze in confusion and helplessness in the direction where the tree had fallen. Then she saw a white object flashing by in the dense shadows of the trees.

It was him!

Who was that!

The murderer!

Mu Ling didn't dare to get out of the car to chase him. She had just escaped death, and her legs were still weak!

With shaking hands, she quickly turned on her optical computer. There was no signal in the mountains, so the optical computer could not connect to the Internet, but it could take videos!

Mu Ling let go of the camera and let the camera chase the running white figure!

Who is it? She was attacked in her own zoo, how could this happen!

The enemy must have been waiting here for a long time, knowing that she would come down the mountain from here, and then cut down the tree trunks in advance, intending to smash her to death when she passed by!

Mu Ling was sweating as she thought about it. She had never encountered such a situation before, and she believed that she had never offended anyone. Who hated her so much and wanted to kill her!

Could it be related to her helping the military?

Major Chang also said that it was strange that there were suddenly medium-polluted alien beasts in the back mountain. It was heard that there were some anti-government groups on some remote planets that specialized in raising alien beasts and using them to undermine the federal regime.

She would not encounter such a gang of psychopaths!

Then she helped the military, and these people hated her and wanted to get rid of her!

The more Mu Ling thought about it, the more scared she became. At this time, the camera had already caught up with the fleeing white figure.

The figure was running now, but he was not running while standing. He was running with his waist bent and on all fours

... running on all fours...

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling: “………………”

Mu Ling looked quietly at the camera, at the big white bear covered with white fur...

The bear was at least two meters long, plump, and strong. It was pushed behind a tree, and probably heard the sound of a car, so it fled to the other side.

But as it was running, it suddenly turned around and looked at the "little flying insect" following it. It opened its mouth and waved its sharp bear paws at the flying insect!

The little flying insect... that is, the camera sensed the collision and dodged automatically.

The white bear was very unhappy that it didn't take a picture of the little flying insect. It bared its teeth and roared directly at the flying insect: "Ha!!!"

The camera stopped moving because it had reached the limited range.

Seeing that the camera was no longer approaching it, the white bear stared at the camera for a while, then tickled its nose with its paw, turned around, stuck out its butt, and ran away again.

Mu Ling: "..."

How can you describe her current mood?

In an instant, she felt that the series of conspiracy theories she had just had were simply a joke...

Who is she? Who has the time to assassinate her? She is just a naughty bear baby!

Mu Ling turned her head and looked at Qing Jie beside her.

Qing Mi and Xiao Lang were both awake by this time. Xiao Lang was walking around on the seat, and was curiously lying on the window, looking outside.

Qing Mi stretched his neck and moved closer to Mu Ling.

Mu Ling took back the camera, watched the video again, and then she pointed at the video and asked Qing Mi: "Do you know it? Why do I think it looks familiar?"

Qing Mi looked at the screen in front of him, tilted his head, and looked at Mu Ling again, then he came over and licked Mu Ling's hair.

Mu Ling let him lick it, she thought about it, and simply flipped through the memo in the computer. After searching around, she saw the white bear's photo and information in the list of retired war beasts.

"S-class retired war beast, Silver Snow Bear, Moonlight!"

Mu Ling looked at Qingjiao in shock: "It was Moonlight who almost killed me just now!"

Qingjiao licked Mu Ling's hair and then licked Mu Ling's ears. Mu Ling's face was wet again. She could only hold it down and said, "Okay, okay, don't rush me. Let's drive now."

Mu Ling glanced at the direction where the white bear had just left, restarted the engine, backed up the car, backed up a distance, and then went around the fallen tree in front and drove forward from the other side.

Two hours later, Mu Ling returned to the foot of the mountain smoothly.

Lin Xuan was putting goods on the shelves of the supermarket when she heard the sound coming from the supermarket. She saw Mu Ling park her mountain bike outside the veterinary station, then she got off the bike and bent over to take something out of it.

Lin Xuan looked carefully and saw it was a little wolf.

It was the little wolf that appeared in the video.

At the same time, another figure came out of the car. He was covered in gray hair, majestic and agile. It was Qing Jiao.

"Hey, the director is back." Wei Li also came out of the supermarket at this time. Seeing the director holding the little wolf, he was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong with the little wolf?"

He wanted to go over, but Lin Xuan suddenly stopped him and asked: "Brother Wei, in addition to Qilin, Lightning, Pimi, and Qingjiao, is the director familiar with any other animals on the mountain?"

Wei Li didn't know what Lin Xuan was asking. After thinking for a while, he said: "Quite a lot, golden rabbits, startled monkeys, long-tailed foxes, Bactrian deer, red-black foxes, firebirds... When we go to feed these animals, they don't come out. They only come out to eat after we leave. But when the director goes to feed them, they will come out and interact with the director."

Lin Xuan's eyes deepened: "Where are the S-level battle beasts?"

"Huh?"

"Can the director get close to other S-class war beasts? Have you tried it?"

"..." Wei Li stared at Lin Xuan blankly. He suddenly looked at Lin Xuan sensitively and asked, "Why are you asking this?"

Lin Xuan paused and said nothing.

"Brother Wei!" At this moment, Mu Ling in the distance just called Wei Li.

Wei Li hurriedly responded with "I'm coming", then looked at Lin Xuan again and left.

Just as Wei Li left, Zhao Fang suddenly came from behind, walked to Lin Xuan's side, and lifted a box of goods at the door.

Lin Xuan met Zhao Fang's gaze, pursed her lips, turned around and went back to continue loading goods.

Zhao Fang didn't say anything to Lin Xuan. He moved the goods to Li Yan's place. Li Yan still had that smiling face, but he said softly: "Xiao Lin still can't let it go..."

Zhao Fang's expression was still serious: "Who can let it go? I saw Hei Yu die with my own eyes."

"Hei Yu" was Zhao Fang's former S-class war beast. It stopped breathing under Zhao Fang's witness.

Zhao Fang is usually such a cold person, but he cried for a week that time and he almost couldn't calm down...

Li Yan raised his hand and patted Zhao Fang's shoulder, then turned back to look at Lin Xuan who was loading goods behind the shelf.

Li Yan actually understands Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan was born in a military family. Her parents, brothers and sisters are all soldiers, but she is the only one who chose the Beast Warriors. Her family told her that the Beast Warriors are cruel because War Beasts are more fragile than soldiers, and soldiers who lose War Beasts will lose half their lives.

But Lin Xuan doesn't care, she just wants to be a Beast Warrior, and the final result is what she has now...

Not only did she lose half her life, she also lost three fingers...

Lin Xuan's family conditions are very good, she actually doesn't need to go out to work, but she still came to the Bic Zoo to apply for a job. Li Yan can guess her thoughts. She was attracted by Director Mu's video. She wants to know if there is really any way to heal the nerve-damaged War Beasts.

Although even if there is a way, her war beast cannot be resurrected, but she is still stubborn and wants to know the answer, because this knot in her heart has tied her to death.

Li Yan sighed softly, shook his head, and continued to work.

While the three new employees continued to be busy, in the veterinary station, Mu Ling was treating the wolf cub's wound again, and at the same time told Wei Li about what happened on the mountain.

Wei Li was surprised after hearing: "You said Moonlight? You saw Moonlight? You went in so deep?"

In Wei Li's impression, Moonlight lives in a very remote and steep mountain, and usually does not come out. Wei Li has been in the Piccolo Zoo for two years and has only seen it twice in total.

One was when it had just entered the park, and the other was when it had just entered the mountain and was still looking for a habitat. However, after it found a habitat, it never appeared again.

Mu Ling didn't think she was walking very deep: "There are mountain paths where I walked, it should be fine, it was Moonlight that ran out by itself."

Wei Li frowned: "Why did it run out? It doesn't like humans very much. The sense of smell of the silver snow bear is two thousand times that of humans. Once it smells the smell of humans, it will run away a few kilometers away. It doesn't even eat the food we feed it. Brother Xiang said that Moonlight catches fish in the stream below the mountain, or eats wild fruits, weeds and so on. In short, it will not approach places that people have touched or roads that people have walked."

Mu Ling was also a little confused. She said suspiciously: "Anyway, I saw it outside. It was pushing a tree. Let me show you the video!"

Mu Ling directly placed the evidence of Moonlight's attempted murder of the director in front of Wei Li, and then pointed at him. Pointing and complaining: "Look at that tree, it's such a big tree, I almost couldn't come back!"

Wei Li saw that it was indeed moonlight in the camera and was a little confused: "It shouldn't be like that, but I know why it was filming with a camera. It probably thought the camera was a bee and it doesn't like bees."

Mu Ling's mouth twitched: "Bears don't dislike bees for no reason, unless It must have stolen someone else's honey."

Wei Li: "..."

Wei Li stared at the tree trunk in the camera again, and then exclaimed: "This tree is really big, Director, are you okay?"

Mu Ling shook her head: "Fortunately it didn't hit me, but I was scared."

As Mu Ling was talking, she saw Qing Mi coming out of the ward area. Mu Ling had just given it some water and canned food, and Qing Mi should be full now.

Mu Ling continued to lower her head to clean the wolf cub's wound, because the wolf cub was always moving around, so she cleaned it more slowly...

"Wait!" Suddenly at this moment, Mu Ling suddenly thought of something. She turned her head and stared at Qing Mi who was slowly walking to her side, then lowered her head and smelled Qing Mi.

Qing Mi looked at Mu Ling in confusion.

Wei Li also looked at the director in confusion.

Mu Ling sniffed and asked for help: "Brother Wei, come and smell it, does Qingji have a smell? I sleep with Qilin and Shandian every day, and I can no longer smell the smell of animals."

Wei Li said in embarrassment: "But I dare not get close to Qingji."

He was at least two meters away from Qingji.

Mu Ling asked: "Then can you smell it like this?"

Wei Li sniffed hard and said vaguely: "Well, there is indeed a smell. Qingji is too dirty, it smells weird..."

Mu Ling suddenly understood: "Didn't you say that the silver snow bear's sense of smell is two thousand times that of humans? I was with Qingji at the time, and I guess Qingji's smell covered my smell, so Yueguang didn't escape, but why did it break the tree? I looked at the crown of the tree, and there was no honey on the tree. I ruled out the possibility that it wanted to climb the tree to steal honey and ended up breaking the tree!"

As they were talking, Xiang Bie just came in.

Wei Li remembered that Brother Xiang was more familiar with Yueguang, so he quickly told him about the director's encounter with Yueguang and showed him the video.

After watching it, Xiang Bie frowned, and then said with a sullen face: "It seems that his condition has worsened."

Wei Li and Mu Ling were both stunned.

Xiang Bie froze the video at a certain shot, which happened to capture the back of the silver snow bear. Xiang Bie zoomed in and pointed at the dirty spot on the silver snow bear's back and said, "These black scraps should be tree bark. It was probably scratching the trunk, but it used too much force and broke the trunk."

Xiang Bie looked at Mu Ling and said, "Yue Guang came six months ago. When he came, he was mentally ill and had a skin disease. I We wanted to cure its skin disease before sending it up the mountain, but it rebelled as soon as it was caged, breaking the cage and almost hurting people. Finally, after two days of treatment, it refused to cooperate, so we had to let it go. Its skin disease was cured at that time, but now it seems that it has relapsed and is more serious. "

It can break the tree trunk, which shows how hard it has been itching. It is estimated that its flesh has been rotten..."

"Huhuhu..." At this moment, there was a fierce itching sound beside them.

Mu Ling, Xiang Bie, and Wei Li all looked at Qingjiao, who was sitting next to Mu Ling and scratching his neck hair with his hind legs.

Qingmi was tickling so much that the area around him was covered with hair. Mu Ling was close to him, so her pants were also covered with hair.

When Qingmi was tickling, she noticed that Mu Ling was looking at her. She put down her hind legs, stood up, and looked up at Mu Ling, as if asking what was going on.

"Brother Xiang, Brother Wei..." Mu Ling said in a gloomy voice, "Help me boil some water. After 20 minutes, I will give Qingmi a bath first!"
