Chapter 32
Because they still remembered the specific location where they encountered the moonlight yesterday, when they went there today, they did not take the wrong path and went straight to their destination.
Two hours later, Xiangbie parked the car in front of the fallen tree yesterday.
As soon as the car stopped, Mu Ling jumped out of the car.
Lightning and Qingjiao saw this and got out of the car.
Mu Ling squatted in front of the big tree and took a look. Sure enough, she quickly found a lot of white hair that had been rubbed off on the bark of the big tree. It seemed that Brother Xiang's guess that the moonlight was scratching with tree trunks was indeed true. That's right, there's still skin flakes on it.
Mu Ling twirled the hair again and observed it carefully, and then she was shocked to find that there was a little blood stain at the root of the white hair.
Looking at the bark again, it was a little hard to see because it was dark brown. Mu Ling turned on the light function of the computer and carefully examined the bark. Finally, she found red bloodstains on the bark
. Xiang Bie came over and squatted beside Mu Ling, also looking at the white hair on the tree trunk.
Mu Ling pointed out the bloodstains to him.
Xiang Bie frowned slightly: "Yes, the skin is broken."
"I just don't know how much it is broken, I hope it’s not too serious…”
Mu Ling said, and returned to the ferry, opened the medical box, took out a specimen bag from it, and then carefully placed the white hair in it.
If we can't catch Yueguang today, Mu Ling can at least test the blood on Yueguang's fur after we go down the mountain to roughly determine how advanced Yueguang's skin disease is. Of course, it would be best if we could catch Yueguang today. Skin diseases are very serious diseases!
After packing the samples, Mu Ling came back with the medical kit, pointed to the side and said, "It ran to that direction yesterday. Let's go and take a look.
" The road ahead is difficult to drive on, and the noise from the cars is too loud. If the moonlight hears the noise from the cars, it will definitely run away.
However, Moonlight's sense of smell is also very sensitive. Bears are recognized by the universe as having the most sensitive sense of smell among all animals, which is 6-8 times stronger than that of wolves. Mu Ling can only hope for lightning and a clear scent. , which could slightly cover up her and Brother Xiang's scent, so that the moonlight would not run away so fast.
It was not easy to shuttle through the jungle. Mu Ling originally thought that in just one day, the moonlight should not go too far, but she did not expect that They had been walking for almost two hours and hadn't seen a single bear hair! The weather was too hot, so Mu
Ling had to open her protective suit to cool herself down.
, medicine boxes, and other large and small packages of things had already been in Xiang Bie's hands.
But even so, Mu Ling was still exhausted. There was no other way. These roads were too difficult to walk on. There was not a single flat surface. The ground was full of rocks and tree trunks. If she wasn't careful, she would
trip and fall. Seeing her like this, Xiang Bie pursed his lips and said, "Why don't you take a rest while I go to the front to take a look."
Mu Ling waved her hands, indicating that she could still hold on: "If you go alone, without lightning and clearing cover, the moonlight will run away. "
Mu Ling said, and then looked at the leopard and the wolf who followed her as if they were on a spring outing.
The forest environment was too friendly to them. Mu Ling walked like a preschooler, stumbling every three steps. At that time, they both jumped so fast that they almost flew up.
Mu Ling's eyes suddenly turned at this time. She touched her chin and muttered: "Brother Xiang, you said that for S-level warbeasts, besides finding alien beasts, is it also powerful to find other animals?"
Xiang Bie: "..."
Xiang Bie frowned: "What do you want to do?"
Mu Ling suddenly smiled. She took the medical kit, took out the white hair of Moonlight, and held it in front of the noses of the gray wolf and the black panther to let them smell it.
Xiang Bie was silent. He didn't want to He hit her, but still said: "Rescue beasts search, war beasts have not learned to track other smells, they can only judge the difference..."
Before Xiang Bie finished speaking, after smelling the white hair, Qing Ji suddenly He turned around and walked to the right front.
Lightning fell half a step behind Qingjiao, but also ran in the same direction quickly.
Mu Ling: "..."
Xiang Bie: "..."
"Fuck! It really works, Brother Xiang!" Mu Ling was so excited: "I just tried it casually, and it actually works! This is an S-level monster! "
Xiang Bie: "..."
Xiang Bie stopped talking indifferently. He thought of the previous incident of Qilin and Lightning competing for favor. One pretended to be rebellious and the other pretended to be injured. This kind of thing was not taught in the military academy. They They really learned very quickly...
With Qingji and Shandian leading the way, Mu Ling and Xiang Bie were at least not searching blindly. Unfortunately, even with a direction, they still didn't see the moonlight.
It was almost 1pm . Xiang Bie frowned and suggested, "Let's go back first and eat something."
They put food in the ferry and replenished their energy so that they could continue searching in the afternoon.
Mu Ling said, "No need."
She took the medical box and took out two bottles of mineral water from the bottom layer, and then took out two packs of biscuits, and gave Xiang Bie a bottle of water and a pack of biscuits
. "..."
Mu Ling shouted to the front again: "Lightning, clear up."
The black panther and gray wolf not far away immediately turned around and ran back.
Mu Ling poured the mineral water into his palm and passed it to them. They drank some water, and then she magically pulled out a bag of animal food and two canned food from the medicine box. She mixed the canned food into the animal food, kneaded it in the bag, tore open the bag, and spread it out. Let them eat.
"I'm sorry for asking you to go back. I'll give you a big meal tonight."
While Black Panther and Gray Wolf were eating, Mu Ling took a bite of a biscuit and looked up at the forest ahead
. In front of the big tree, he drank a sip of water, glanced at the medical box, and suddenly asked: "What else did you bring?"
"Ah?" Mu Ling was stunned, looked at Brother Xiang, and then turned her medical box over to show him .
There were two bottles of mineral water and a pack of animal food in it.
Xiang Bie: "..."
He said why the medicine box was particularly heavy today.
After a simple lunch, Mu Ling and Xiang Bie put the packing bag back in their pockets. They continued to move forward.
As a result, until four o'clock in the afternoon, they still had nothing to show for it.
Xiang Bie looked at the sky and said, "Let's go back."
They were already far away from the shuttle bus. It would take at least two or three hours to walk back, and five hours to drive down the mountain. It was already dark.
Mu Ling knew they had to leave. She looked at the woods ahead and suddenly became anxious: "Brother Xiang, you think we won't be able to find it tomorrow?"
Xiang Bie was silent for a moment and told the truth: "Maybe."
Mu Ling: "..."
Mu Ling was a little desperate. She looked up at the sky and sighed heavily: "It would be great if our park had surveillance!"
There are basically three types of surveillance on the market: holographic surveillance, satellite surveillance, and ordinary surveillance. Let
's talk about holographic surveillance first. This thing has a wide coverage area and clear and realistic images. Although it requires long-term maintenance, it can basically solve major problems once it is built. However, it has a fatal flaw - it is expensive.
These days, anything with the word "holographic" is priced sky-high. Mu Ling secretly checked on the Internet. To build a 3 million square kilometer holographic surveillance coverage, the starting price is 100 million! Even when the zoo was first built two years ago, her rich aunts were reluctant to build it. Now Mu Ling, who has a total net worth of only more than 400,000, dare not even think about it!
Let's talk about satellite monitoring. Satellite monitoring is cheap. If they want to monitor the Beak Jungle alone, they only need to buy three private satellites. A private satellite costs about two million yuan each. Rich women and grandmas could definitely afford it back then, but why didn't she buy it?
Because it's useless!
Beak Jungle is a mountain forest environment with lush trees. Satellite monitoring scans from the sky. It can scan but it can't see through. So those places covered by the tree canopy, the satellite monitoring room can't take pictures at all. Isn't it the same as having no monitoring? What is there to monitor?
Therefore, satellite monitoring is not suitable for Bic Zoo.
The last option is ordinary monitoring. Ordinary monitoring is not expensive and can monitor the environment inside the jungle. It is the most perfect. So why don’t we do it? Because it destroys the environment. Ordinary monitoring requires the installation of signal towers. Imagine that in a perfectly natural jungle, a signal tower is installed every 5,000 meters. The total area is more than 3 million square kilometers. How many tens of thousands of signal towers are needed... Is this still a primeval jungle? Where is the "wildness" here?
In short, none of these three types of surveillance can be installed in the Bick Zoo, so her aunt chose to recruit more employees and use human wave tactics, with one person in charge of one area, to monitor the zoo with the naked eye.
But Mu Ling doesn't have these people now!
Mu Ling is really thinking about surveillance now and her heart is about to break.
Xiang Bie comforted her: "If the business is good, maybe we can get holographic surveillance in the future."
Mu Ling: "..."
Mu Ling looked at Xiang Bie dimly: "Brother Xiang, are you drunk from drinking mineral water? Why are you talking nonsense?"
Xiang Bie: "..."
The starting price is one hundred million!
She can't make one hundred million by running a zoo until she is eighty years old! What a joke!
Mu Ling shook her head, and looked at the depths of the jungle reluctantly, then called out "Lightning, Qingjiao", and turned to walk back.
Mu Ling and Xiang Bie walked together, and Lightning and Qingjiao walked in front of them.
Mu Ling looked at the leopard and the wolf with envy, and muttered: "They run so fast, if only I could turn into Lightning or Qingjiao, then I would definitely be able to find Moonlight..."
Mu Ling suddenly stopped and widened his eyes when he said this.
Xiang Bie paused, and when he saw that she stopped, he also stopped and turned to look at her: "What, are you planning to transform?"
"Brother Xiang!" Mu Ling exclaimed: "I think I thought of a way!"
Xiang Bie raised his eyebrows, but Mu Ling quickly squatted down and shouted to the front: "Lightning, Qingjie, come here!"
The black cheetah and the gray wolf came back again with a thump. Lightning ran too fast and didn't brake. I don't know if it was intentional or accidental, but he fell directly into Mu Ling's arms, and then he rubbed Mu Ling's chin with his big round head.
Mu Ling lowered her head and kissed it hard, then hugged it and rubbed it warmly, and said: "Lightning, can you do your sister a favor? I really need you now!"
The black panther was still immersed in the close contact with Mu Ling. It closed its eyes, made gurgling sounds from its mouth, and continued to push Mu Ling's chin.
Mu Ling let it push, then she took off her optical computer bracelet and put the bracelet on the black panther's left front leg.
Lightning felt something strange, lowered his head, sniffed the foreign object on his front paw, smelled a familiar smell, and licked it again.
Mu Ling was not afraid of it licking, because the optical computer was waterproof and drop-proof.
Mu Ling pointed out the shooting function in the optical computer, then let the camera be external, and selected "Follow", so that the camera would always follow Lightning.
Mu Ling adjusted the angle, then she held up Shan Dian's head, kissed Shan Dian's head hard again, and then took out the white fur of the silver snow bear and let Shan Dian smell it.
"Shan Dian, go find Moonlight, and come back when you find it, understand?"
Mu Ling said, and then looked at Xiang Bie: "Is it okay for me to give such an order, Brother Xiang, please use the intercom to ask Lieutenant Colonel Song if it's okay!"
Because Pi Mi has not completely escaped from the dangerous period, Lieutenant Colonel Song has not left yet. He is still accompanying the protection network masters to work every day.
Xiang Bie now understands what Mu Ling means. He looks at Mu Ling deeply and walks aside to contact Lieutenant Colonel Song.
After a while, he came back and said, "The word 'return' is an order."
Mu Ling hurriedly said to Lightning several times: "Lightning, come back when you find Moonlight... just 'return'! Do you understand? 'Return'!"
As she said that, Mu Ling let it smell its white fur again.
The black panther snorted several times, and it seemed to understand. The next second, it suddenly jumped out of Mu Ling's arms like an arrow from a bow, and ran towards the distant woods!
The speed of an ordinary leopard is 100 kilometers per hour, and the speed of a fire leopard is 150 kilometers per hour. Mu Ling looked at the back of the black panther and believed that even if Moonlight smelled their scent, it would not be able to outrun Lightning. As long as Lightning took a picture of Moonlight, Mu Ling would know Moonlight's location and Moonlight's current condition!
The waiting process was very painful. Mu Ling was afraid that the lightning would not be able to find the moonlight, and also afraid that the lightning would not be able to find the way back.
Half an hour later, the black snow wolf that was lying beside Mu Ling suddenly raised its head, and then stood up, and slowly walked two steps towards a certain direction in the jungle.
Mu Ling and Xiang Bie looked in the direction Qing Mi was looking at at the same time...
After a while, accompanied by the sound of rustling in the grass, a black, agile figure appeared in their sight.
"Lightning!" Mu Ling stood up instantly, and immediately stood up and opened her arms!
The black panther rushed over like lightning, and it jumped suddenly and jumped directly into Mu Ling's arms!
But it was too big and too heavy. How could Mu Ling's thin arms and legs hold it? She fell back and almost fell.
Fortunately, Xiang Bie was quick and quickly supported her back.
Mu Ling did not fall backwards. She sat on the ground, hugged the big leopard in her arms, and touched it randomly: "Lightning, you are great! You really know to come back! Have you seen the moonlight? You didn't fight, did you? Let your sister see if you are injured!"
The black panther's long tail swung flexibly behind it. It opened its mouth, exhaled, and licked Mu Ling's face with its tongue, then moved around and drilled on Mu Ling's body.
Mu Ling laughed non-stop. After making sure that Lightning was not injured, she quickly took out the mineral water and fed it to Lightning mouthful by mouthful.
Lightning drank half a bottle of water in one breath before licking his mouth and stopping.
It paralyzed on the ground, sticking out its tongue to dissipate heat, and lazily leaning its body on Mu Ling's knees.
Mu Ling stroked its fur, then took off the optical computer bracelet from its front paw, clicked to end filming, and then clicked to play the video.
Soon, a half-hour long video began on the holographic screen suspended in the air.
The video showed lightning flashing through the forest. The speed of lightning was really fast. Mu Ling felt that it was faster than a car!
Mu Ling pressed the fast forward button in the middle, until about 12 minutes, when the speed of lightning suddenly slowed down.
In the camera, there was a dense forest in front, and the ground was full of fallen trees and broken trunks.
The black panther stepped on a tree trunk, buried its head and sniffed for a while, then continued to walk inside. After it walked slowly for about a minute, a giant snow-white creature appeared in the camera!
Mu Ling's eyes widened instantly, and Xiang Bie's eyes darkened.
The two of them stared closely at the giant white bear lying on the ground, as if it was sleeping.
Lightning seemed to find the smell of the white bear familiar, so he jumped over in two steps, stood seven or eight steps away from the white bear, and wandered tentatively.
The white bear did not move, as if it was really asleep, so the black panther walked a little closer, and as it got closer, the picture captured in the camera became clearer.
A pointed mouth, a black nose, and two short, small semicircular ears hidden in the dirty hair. Judging from its appearance, this silver snow bear is undoubtedly beautiful, but when an alien creature is so close to it, how can its vigilance tolerate it sleeping so soundly? The more
Mu Ling looked at it, the tighter his brows wrinkled. Lightning seemed to find it very strange. It moved closer and smelled the white bear's fur, then from the white bear's front paws, to its head, and then to its neck.
The white bear did not move at all. The black panther thought about it and tried to pick up the white bear's fur, but the white bear weighed nearly a ton. How could it possibly drag it?
The black panther could not drag it, and even bit off a large tuft of the white bear's fur.
But what was unexpected was that the blood that had fallen into the hair actually left some faint black marks, and then the fur began to bleed.
But even after the blood had seeped in, the polar bear hadn't even opened its eyes!
The black panther lingered in the same place for a few more steps, and finally, it jumped onto a tree trunk and ran back.
"It's over!" Mu Ling suddenly spoke at this time, and her face changed drastically as she looked at Xiang Bie: "Is Yue Guang dead?"
Xiang Bie's face was equally ugly, he stood up, picked up the things on the ground: "Let's go!"
Mu Ling hurriedly got up, and followed with Lightning and Qingjiao!
The place where Lightning could run back and forth in half an hour was not very far from them. Although it was also because Lightning ran fast, if a person walked faster, they could get there in forty minutes.
When they were almost at their destination, Xiang Bie turned back and reminded Mu Ling: "Put on your protective suit."
Mu Ling looked down at her open protective suit, quickly pulled it up, and then held her helmet tightly, ready to put it on at any time.
After five o'clock in the evening, they arrived at Moonlight's habitat.
In the distance, Moonlight was still lying there, in the same posture and position as in the video. Obviously, it had not woken up at all in the nearly one hour since Lightning left.
But even so, Mu Ling still put on her helmet, fully armed herself, and then went up to check on the white bear.
As soon as she approached, Mu Ling frowned. It smelled so bad.
She squatted down and first touched the front of the white bear's chest, on the left side of the chest, where its heart was located.
After pressing hard for a while, Mu Ling breathed a sigh of relief and turned back to Xiang Bie and said, "It still has a heartbeat."
Xiang Bie's face was still tense, but his eyes were a little softer.
Mu Ling touched the white bear's hard fur again, focusing on the hair follicles inside.
The hair follicles were black and a little sticky. Mu Ling took a little and sniffed. It was the smell of pus.
Mu Ling looked at the tuft of hair that Lightning had bitten off. The blood there had stopped flowing, but the remaining hair nearby was soaked red. A closer look also showed that the white bear's skin was already very fragile, as if its hair could be pulled out with a slight pull, and the hair follicles in that area would also be damaged.
Mu Ling actually wanted to look at the white bear's back, because it was the back that it was itching and focused on.
Mu Ling told Xiang Bie what she was thinking. Xiang Bie said nothing and went to the side to lift the white bear. Mu Ling hurried to help.
But after turning the white bear over, Mu Ling and Xiang Bie fell silent at the same time.
Blood.
The fur on Yue Guang's back was all black and red blood.
When the fur was pulled aside, the hair follicles were already dead on a large scale. The black skin was full of muddy pus, which also emitted a foul smell of decay.
Mu Ling's face darkened. "It's a degenerative fungal infection. It has already deteriorated to the second level. If you don't take care of it, the fur will fall off naturally in a large area in less than a week. The skin will necrotize and the skin will rot from the fat layer to the bones. It will rot and itch at the same time. It's a huge torture."
Mu Ling said, and flipped the white bear's eyelids again, saying: "It is a sudden shock, and its breathing stopped for at least one to two seconds. It must be too itchy, and it is itchy and uncomfortable. This itching has deepened its neurasthenia, causing its heart to be unable to adapt to the sudden stimulation of the nerves, so it fell down."
Xiang Bie pursed his lips and looked at Mu Ling: "What are you going to do?"
Mu Ling said bluntly: "Take it back, lock it up, and treat it for half a month. Release it after it is cured!"
Xiang Bie pondered for a moment, and then said, "Wait for me here, I'll go drive the car."
Mu Ling nodded and said, "Then I'll give Moonlight two injections, one special effect, and one anesthesia, so that it won't wake up in the middle of the journey, and then I'll clear the roadblocks here, so that your car can drive in in a while."
Xiang Bie looked at Mu Ling again and said "hmm".
After Xiang Bie left, Mu Ling started to get busy, first giving injections, then moving stones and branches. Some of the stones were too hard, and she could easily scratch her hands with her bare hands, so she used protective clothing to carry them by hand. Even beasts couldn't bite the protective clothing, so it was so good to use it for work!
In this way, Mu Ling worked for three hours, and was sweaty all over, before she finally heard the sound of the shuttle bus.
It was already dark at this time, and the weak light from the computer could only barely illuminate a little bit of the road ahead. Until the lights of the shuttle bus came on, Mu Ling raised her hand belatedly, covered her eyes, and squinted to look forward.
In the bright light, a tall man got out of the car and walked over. He stood in front of Mu Ling, looking at her wolfish appearance, his brows tightly wrinkled.
Mu Ling had adapted to the light at this time. She put down her hand, wiped the sweat from her head, pointed behind her and asked: "Brother Xiang, can you see if we can get through?"
Xiang Bie glanced inside, was silent for a long time, and then said "um" softly.
Mu Ling breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then let's go quickly, I'm so hungry, I tell you, I couldn't help it just now, when I saw Shan Dian and Qing Mi eating the animal food, my mouth was watering..."
Xiang Bie: "..."
Xiang Bie pursed his lips, stretched out his hand to hold her arm, and said, "Get in the car first."
Mu Ling paralyzed as soon as she got in the car. She had been bending over to move things just now, and her waist hurt.
She sat motionless in the chair, and Shan Dian rubbed against her side, pressed his chin on Mu Ling's knees, and looked at her with a pair of emerald green eyes.
Mu Ling rubbed its head and stroked it gently.
Qing Mi was lying on the aisle in the car. It was obvious that after a day of wandering outside, Qing Jie was a little overwhelmed.
The car soon drove to where Moonlight was lying, and Mu Ling had to get out of the car again and followed Brother Xiang to carry the overweight polar bear up.
Xiang Bie carried the polar bear in the front, and Mu Ling pushed the polar bear's butt from the back. After finally getting the polar bear up, Mu Ling squatted down to check if the polar bear had scratched anything.
You know, this is now a real Prince Pea, and his skin will break if it is touched lightly!
After making sure that there was no damage to the wound, Mu Ling breathed a sigh of relief and continued to sit back in the chair to rest.
The car drove all the way back down the mountain, and it was almost 11 o'clock when it arrived at the service area.
Wei Li and Zhao Fang had been waiting for them. Seeing them come back, Wei Li hurried over and said, "You..." He
had just said half of the words when he was glared coldly by Xiang Bie in the driver's seat.
Wei Li was stunned, and then he looked inside the car. The first thing he saw was the white bear lying at the back. Then he saw Qingjiu sitting in the corridor, Dandian leaning on the director's knees, and the director who had fallen asleep with his head leaning on the window glass bed.
Wei Li looked at the director's exhausted and wolfish appearance, and was just surprised when he heard Brother Xiang lower his voice and say, "Don't disturb her, she's very tired."
