Chapter 38

After a busy morning, everyone had to go into the mountains to vaccinate the animals in the afternoon.

Brother Xiang was not here today, and Wei Li had to train new people at the foot of the mountain, so only Mu Ling, Lin Xuan, and Li Yan were left on the mountain today.

Mu Ling led Team Lightning, and Lin Xuan and Li Yan led Team One.

Because the herbivores in the outer area were basically vaccinated yesterday, today they mainly went to the inner area, but Lin Xuan and Li Yan did not have much experience in going into the inner area, so before they set off, Mu Ling repeatedly told them to wear protective clothing and helmets throughout the trip, and to get in the car as soon as they found something wrong!

Lin Xuan and Li Yan couldn't help laughing when they saw the director talking about them like a child. Li Yan said, "Director, we are retired soldiers."

Mu Ling was stunned.

Lin Xuan also smiled: "We have been to this kind of deep mountain countless times. We should be very proficient in how to protect ourselves."

Mu Ling: "..."

Okay, okay, they are all masters, but she is the novice!

After one o'clock in the afternoon, Mu Ling started to go up the mountain with lightning. Because they were familiar with the road, they reached the inner circle in less than two hours.

The inner circle in the east is no longer a mountain, but a river area.

The Bick Jungle is not a jungle as a whole. A quarter of the area is a complex river or stream, and the source of these waterways is the largest river in the jungle - the Bick River.

The vegetation of the entire Bick Jungle is essentially nourished by the Bick River.

After arriving at the river area in the east, Mu Ling first put out the camera and took some photos. After making sure there were no animals nearby, she got out of the car and connected the four prepared leaking tubes to the front, back, left and right sides of the mountain bike. She then inserted the other end of the leaking tube into a large bucket on the back seat.

Then she closed the car window and changed the car from land mode to suspension mode.

The mountain bikes in Bick Zoo are all amphibious vehicles, which means they can drive normally on the ground, fly in the air, and even dive into the water. This is mainly to facilitate the staff to use them for daily feeding and patrol work.

After the suspension mode was activated, the mountain bike began to rise slowly. When it rose to a distance of more than one meter from the ground, the four muddy tires were slowly folded up and retracted into the chassis of the car.

In this way, the car turned into a small airship in the shape of a car.

Mu Ling held the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator. The small airship flew up and slowly drove towards the river.

The suspension mode of the amphibious vehicle is not easy to use in the jungle, because there are too many trees in the forest. If you are not careful, the car will easily hit the tree. Sometimes it will not only fail to accelerate, but will slow down the driving process.

But near the river, the suspension mode is very useful, because there is open space above the river, and the car will not be disturbed by trees when flying above the river.

Mu Ling now changes the car to suspension mode, not to cross the river, but because she wants to spread vaccines in the river.

The animals living in the Bick Zoo include not only land animals, flying animals, but also aquatic animals, and fish may also mutate into alien fish.

So when they vaccinate land and flying animals, they must not forget to mix the oral vaccine into the fish food and sprinkle it on the fish in the river.

Now Mu Ling drove the car above the river area. As long as he pressed the spray button, the four leaking pipes connected to the large barrel in the back seat would spray the fish food in the barrel into the river.

Mu Ling's first task today was to spray the six rivers in the east with vaccine fish food.

When Mu Ling was driving the suspended car, Lightning's face in the passenger seat had already stuck to the glass window. It was curling up its paws nervously and awkwardly, looking outside.

Mu Ling thought it was funny and touched the black panther's back fur.

The leopard turned its head and looked at Mu Ling.

"Are you scared?" Lightning is a land beast after all. Although it can climb trees, climbing to the sky and climbing trees are not the same concept. Mu Ling could already imagine how uneasy it is now.

The black panther licked its mouth, stretched its neck over, and rubbed its forehead against Mu Ling's arm.

Mu Ling hugged it with one hand and said, "If you are afraid, just stay close to me, I will protect you."

The black panther really came closer to Mu Ling, and it put its forehead against Mu Ling's thigh affectionately.

At the same time, while Mu Ling was calmly spreading the vaccine and fish food, on the other side of the jungle, Xiang Bie also rushed to the next habitat of the falcon.

The towering tree with lush branches and leaves towered into the sky. The man stood under the tree and looked up. The dense tree crowns were caged together, and he could vaguely see a bird's nest made of branches on the tree fork.

Xiang Bie was silent for a moment, then looked around and saw several vines. He grabbed a vine and stepped onto the tree trunk with one foot. After a few steps, he had already stepped onto the lowest branch of the tree.

Then, he continued to use the vines to climb up. When he was more than 30 meters above the ground, he could already see the inside of the bird's nest.

There were a few old broken hairs and some fallen leaves left inside the bird's nest. Xiang Bie observed that this eagle's nest should not have been inhabited for a long time.

It seems that the falcon has abandoned this habitat.

Pursing his lips, the man grabbed the vine, stepped on the tree trunk, and quickly descended all the way to the bottom.

After landing on the ground, he patted the dust on his hands, picked up the rifle on the ground, and walked in the direction of the parking lot.

-The

vaccine and fish food were sprayed from 4:30, and by 5:30, Mu Ling had already sprayed the main river and four small tributaries in the east with fish food.

Looking back at this time, I saw that the fish food bucket was almost empty.

"It will be over soon." Mu Ling said, and glanced at Lightning on the co-pilot's seat.

Lightning was almost asleep, and when he heard Mu Ling talking, he opened his eyes and looked at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling pinched its ears: "We just need to spray the last tributary, and then we will go look for the war beasts."

According to Brother Xiang, the inner area on the east side is more humid, and there are two B-level war beasts who like to live here.

Because there are war beasts here, other ordinary animals will not come here, so if we can find the two B-level war beasts today and vaccinate them, then the work in the East Region will be completed, and Mu Ling can go to other areas tomorrow.

"I feel that we are quite efficient and have been going smoothly." Mu Ling said, and then looked at the black panther: "It must be because our Lightning is lucky. Thank you Lightning for the blessing that brought my sister."

When Lightning heard his name, he straightened his neck and looked at Mu Ling in confusion.

"Silly." Mu Ling tapped the black panther's black nose, then turned the steering wheel, intending to go to another tributary.

At this moment, something suddenly flew over the sky.

Mu Ling didn't care at first, but the next second, she reacted abruptly and looked at the thing that flew away. She saw that the thing was swaying and flying high and low in the sky.

"Fuck! What kind of bird is that!" Because the distance was too far, Mu Ling couldn't see clearly. She quickly took out a telescope from the car tool box and observed the big bird carefully!

White head, dark gray body, a pair of gray-gold wings, and black claws!

Mu Ling had read the information of all the war beasts in the zoo, and she recognized the identity of this bird almost immediately!

The falcon "Stepping on the Clouds"!

"It can actually fly!" Mu Ling stared at the bird closely, and thought of Brother Xiang again!

She quickly lowered her head and looked in the jungle on both sides of the river, wanting to see if Brother Xiang was nearby, but the shadows of the trees were too dense and her angle was too high, so she could not see anything except large tracts of green treetops.

Mu Ling took out the walkie-talkie again and said, "Brother Xiang, Brother Xiang, can you hear me? I saw Tayun. It is in the inner area of ​​Dongshan Domain, on the No. 081 branch of the Bick River! Something seems to be wrong with it. It is flying unsteadily. It..."

Before Mu Ling finished speaking, the majestic eagle that was about to fall suddenly fell straight down. Its two golden wings seemed to have suddenly malfunctioned. It was about to fall into the river!

"Fuck!" Mu Ling exclaimed!

Then the next second, when the eagle was about to fall into the river, the eagle suddenly flapped its wings again, stepped on the water waves, and flew up again.

"Huh!" Mu Ling heaved a sigh of relief. She patted her chest: "Fortunately..."

The last word of "good" hasn't even fallen yet...

"Throw it through." The big eagle, which had been standing upright for three seconds, still fell into the water and sank directly to the bottom of the water...

Mu Ling: "..."

Mu Ling: "!!!!"

The weight of a falcon is generally 15-20 kilograms and the body length is 130-160cm. With this size and weight, it will definitely not float if it falls into the water!

Mu Ling saw that the falcon in the water was still struggling to float, so she stepped on the accelerator and drove the car straight to the river!

At the same time, Xiang Bie on the other side also returned to the car.

The bottom shell of the intercom was shattered and broken, and it was piled up on the passenger seat in pieces.

Xiang Bie turned the steering wheel and drove the car towards the nearest water.

There are six roosting spots for the falcon. Once it smells human scent, it will definitely not roost again in the places he has been to. So now, it may go to the last roosting spot, but that roosting spot is quite far away, in the East Region. If he wants to get there as soon as possible, he can only take the water route.

Xiang Bie quickly drove the car to the nearby river, then switched to the suspension mode, and headed east along the waterway.

-

"It's over, it has sunk!" Mu Ling parked the car near the place where the falcon fell into the water. At this time, there was no trace of the falcon on the water. Mu Ling quickly switched the car to diving mode. After the car was floating on the water, she first checked whether the windows were closed tightly, and then dived the car into the bottom of the river.

The river bottom was full of mud and sand, and the water was not clear. Mu Ling turned on the searchlight and searched for a while before she found the eagle that was about to fall to the bottom of the river.

Mu Ling hurriedly drove the car under the eagle. Because it was not a professional submarine, the car had no salvaging tools, so Mu Ling could only use the car body to catch the eagle and then lift it up.

Mu Ling quickly caught the eagle, and then she carefully drove the car out of the water.

After the car stopped steadily on the river, Mu Ling parked the car on the shore. As soon as she got out of the car, the black panther followed.

Mu Ling stood on the mottled and steep rocks on the river bank, stretched out her hand, and tried hard to reach, and finally caught the giant eagle on the roof of the car.

Who knew that at this moment, the giant eagle suddenly woke up, and its wings flapped twice slowly.

Mu Ling was startled. Her hand had already grabbed the giant eagle's wings. She had to decide whether to let go to avoid it or to catch it in one go. She decisively chose the latter.

While the giant eagle didn't react, Mu Ling directly pulled it ashore and put it on the side of the road.

Then she swiftly grabbed a helmet and protective clothing from the car and quickly put them on herself.

Only after the protection was put on, Mu Ling felt that the eagle did not attack her. She looked back and saw that after flapping its wings twice, the eagle had fainted again.

Mu Ling was startled and hurried forward to check on the eagle's condition.

Eyes closed, body stiff, wings drooping, this is the condition of a bird drowning and dying.

Mu Ling quickly turned the eagle's body over. She held its trunk, let its head down and belly up, and then gently pressed the crop on its chest.

The bird's crop is equivalent to the human stomach. It is part of the bird's digestive system and is located at the upper end of the esophagus, near the neck. Mu Ling pressed the crop to help the eagle drain water.

Water did flow out of the bird's beak, but the eagle remained motionless and its wings did not respond.

Mu Ling wasn't sure if it was in shock, but even if the bird was in shock, there were still twenty to thirty minutes to save it. Since it didn't wake up after draining the water, she could only give it artificial respiration.

Mu Ling first checked if there was any foreign object in the bird's mouth. After making sure there was no foreign object, she held its pointed beak tightly and gave it artificial respiration rhythmically.

The frequency of breathing cannot be too high, and the crop must be pressed while breathing. This action is similar to cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

After a few minutes of artificial respiration and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, Mu Ling saw that the eagle still didn't wake up, and hot sweat broke out on her head.

Mu Ling took off her protective suit, which was waterproof and did not absorb water. Mu Ling also took off her own coat. She quickly wiped the water off the eagle with the coat, and then carried it to a place where the sun was shining so that it would not get hypothermic so quickly. The sun

in summer usually sets at seven or eight o'clock. Although the sun is not so hot at this time, it is better to have the sun than no sun.

While wiping the eagle, Mu Ling continued to perform artificial respiration and cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

You must be patient when rescuing birds, because they all have a chance of being saved within half an hour, so never give up treatment just because they don't respond at first.

Mu Ling persisted for twenty-five minutes, and finally, the two golden wings of the eagle suddenly flapped!

"Ah!" Mu Ling was startled. The two wings were really too big, at least three or four meters wide, and could slap her away with one slap!

But the eagle didn't slap Mu Ling, because it had just woken up and its current physical strength was not enough for it to deal with the enemy.

But Lightning didn't know that. Lightning saw the big bird flap its wings, and Mu Ling sat down on the ground backwards. Its emerald green eyes were immediately filled with ferocity. It pounced on it fiercely, pressing the big eagle's body with its two claws, and let out a crazy leopard roar from its throat, and then opened its mouth to bite off the big bird's neck!

Mu Ling: "!!!!"

Mu Ling was so scared that she quickly stretched out her hand to cover the leopard's mouth: "Not that bad, not that bad, Lightning, calm down!"

Cats love to eat fish and birds, and Lightning doesn't like the eagle. In its eyes, no matter how big the bird is, it is food.

The eagle had just escaped death, and it was unexpected that it was hit by the black panther first, but it reacted quickly and immediately spread its strong wings, which hit the black panther's face. Then it turned its body and aimed its sharp eagle beak directly at the black panther's eyes.

Attacking the enemy's vulnerable face is the falcon's usual hunting strategy, especially the eyes. Once pecked, the enemy will fall into passivity, which is its chance to turn defeat into victory.

"Hey!" Seeing this, Mu Ling quickly stretched her head over. She used her hard helmet to directly knock open the falcon's beak, and then ran away dragging the black panther. The

falcon's beak was knocked open, and it was stunned for a moment. Before it could react, it realized that the weight on its body had disappeared, and it quickly spread its wings and flew into the air.

Mu Ling looked at the falcon flying into the sky, first picked up the protective clothing on the ground and put it on, then buckled the mask of the helmet, and then dared to look up at it.

The big eagle stood on a tree trunk, probably because it was exhausted, it did not fly away immediately. It first looked at the man and the leopard below, and then pecked its wings with its beak. Obviously, there was water on its wings, which made it very uncomfortable.

Mu Ling frowned and called out, "Tayun."

The falcon continued to peck at its wings, as if it didn't hear her.

No response to the name? Forgot your own name?

Mu Ling judged the falcon's current situation, and then she quietly moved to the car and took the tranquilizer gun in the car.

Mu Ling had already seen Tayun, so she certainly wouldn't let it go. Not to mention anything else, if the situation just now where it fell halfway through the flight happened again, who would be able to save it?

But Mu Ling couldn't use the tranquilizer gun now, mainly because it was too high and she was afraid she would miss the target!

What if she missed the target and startled Tayun, wouldn't it just fly away?

Mu Ling calmed herself down first, and then she tried to coax Tayun down a little.

At least until she is within a distance where she can hit it with 100% certainty.

Mu Ling licked her lips and continued, "Tayun! Do you remember that your name is Tayun? Come, come down, do you understand this command? You understand, you are a war beast, think about it carefully..."

After pecking at the feathers on the left, the eagle began to peck at the feathers on the right, and also lowered its head to peck at its own neck feathers.

Mu Ling put her hands on her waist: "Sister is not a bad person. Didn't sister save you just now? You can go back with sister, please. At least you have to blow dry the hair on your body, otherwise you will die of hypothermia. And you don't know how much water you drank. You have to get a check-up when you go back, in case you have aspiration pneumonia. Tayun, did you hear me?"

"Tayun! Tayun!" Mu Ling said every word, and said all the nice things, but the eagle did not respond at all.

Mu Ling was a little dry-mouthed after talking. She turned around and saw Lightning staring at the big bird on the tree with its murderous and indifferent beast eyes!

Mu Ling: "..."

Could it be that he was scared by Lightning, so he didn't dare to come down?

"Lightning, come." Mu Ling called.

Lightning still had evil in his eyes, but after glancing at Mu Ling, he walked to Mu Ling silently.

Mu Ling rubbed his fur and praised, "Sister knows you are kind, but we really can't bite this bird. Be good, sister will give you canned food when she goes back."

Lightning let Mu Ling stroke him, and gradually, probably because his fur was smoothed, his muscles were not so tense, and his attacking posture slowed down.

The black leopard licked his beard and sat down on the ground calmly, but still raised his head and looked at the bird on the tree.

Seeing that Lightning was not aggressive anymore, Mu Ling continued to shout to the sky: "Tayun, come down and let your sister wipe your fur. Let's at least wipe our fur dry, right?"

The eagle on the tree finally finished pecking its feathers. It flapped its wings as if it was about to fly away.

This won't do!

Mu Ling quickly raised her pistol, not caring whether she could hit it or not. She raised her arm high and aimed the muzzle in the direction of the eagle!

But at this moment, the eagle in the sky suddenly looked down, then spread its wings and flew straight towards Mu Ling.

"Fuck!" Mu Ling was startled. Was he going to attack her? She hadn't loaded her gun yet!

Mu Ling quickly loaded her pistol, but her movements were nowhere near as fast as the falcon. The giant eagle crept down and was right in front of her in an instant.

The next second, a weight as heavy as a thousand pounds suddenly pressed down on Mu Ling's arm.

The huge golden wings slowly folded, and the giant eagle, which weighed nearly twenty pounds, clasped the girl's arm tightly with its two claws. Then, it stood on the girl's arm so lightly, twisting its head and looking around alertly.

Mu Ling: "..."

Mu Ling: "???"

Twenty pounds is actually not that heavy. There is a saying that goes, before getting married, you can't even open a bottle cap, but after giving birth, you can walk briskly with a twenty-pound baby in one hand.

So Mu Ling held the eagle with both hands, and could barely bear the weight of the giant eagle, but...

what was going on?

Why did it fall on her?

Mu Ling was a little confused.

She thought about it, and suddenly thought of something.

Mu Ling decided to give it a try!

Mu Ling shook her arms and made a gesture of letting it fly.

In an instant, the giant eagle spread its wings, flew out immediately, and then circled in the air.

Mu Ling shouted again: "Tread on the clouds!"

At the same time, he raised his arm high.

Immediately afterwards, the giant eagle swooped down again, and just like before, it landed accurately on Mu Ling's thin arm and steadily retracted its wings.

Mu Ling: "..."

Really good!

Mu Ling was stunned. So, Tayun really could understand the command, but because it didn't see the arm, it didn't know where to land, so it kept standing on the tree trunk.

Mu Ling was numb. Why did she just shout at the tree for a long time like a fool!

Mu Ling didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but think about it. Since it can be a war bird, it must have been trained long ago. Training an eagle, blowing a whistle, raising your hand to signal landing, these are all basics, but Mu Ling didn't expect that she was not Tayun's master, but she could actually summon Tayun.

As expected, the wisdom of the eagle should not be underestimated. The eagle is one of the animals recognized to have the highest IQ in the animal world, not to mention that this is an S-class war eagle.

Now that Tayun has come down, Mu Ling did not delay and quickly hugged its body and walked into the car.

The giant eagle flapped its wings, as if it did not like being hugged.

But Mu Ling did not care. She was not afraid of Tayun pecking her even though she was wearing a helmet. She stuffed Tayun into the car directly and called out loudly: "Lightning!"

Lightning rushed to the driver's seat and Mu Ling immediately closed the door.

After the car door was closed and it was confirmed that the giant eagle could not fly out, Mu Ling breathed a sigh of relief and pushed the giant eagle to the back seat.

The giant eagle obviously didn't like this cramped environment. It wanted to spread its wings, but with such a narrow car compartment and a fish food bucket blocking the back seat, it couldn't fully spread its wings.

Mu Ling didn't care about it. She climbed to the driver's seat and let Lightning sit in the co-pilot's seat. Then, without taking off her helmet and protective clothing, she started the engine and directly changed the car to suspension mode.

Mu Ling didn't forget her work. There was only a little fish food left. She simply drove the car and went through the last tributary, dumped all the fish food, and then she found a place to land. When she returned to the land, she didn't look for the two B-level beasts anymore. She took the giant eagle down the mountain first.

After all, it spit water and wet its feathers. If she doesn't go back for a thorough check-up, it will definitely get sick. Also, she has to consult Director Wang about whether to give it a soft-wing injection or not. Director Wang has the final say in this regard.

While Mu Ling was driving her mountain bike down the mountain without stopping, Xiang Bie was also rushing over from above another river area.

An hour later, Xiang Bie's suspension car landed beside the river bank of the East Region.

Xiang Bie opened the car door and drove along the grass. Finally, he stopped under a valley. He looked up and looked at the edge of the cliff above the valley.

There was still no sign of the giant eagle.

"Huh?" Xiang Bie frowned and his expression darkened.

He had searched all six habitats, so how could he not find it?

So where did it go?

"Brother Xiang, Brother Xiang, Tayun is in my hands now. I'm going to take it down the mountain first." In the mountain bike, Mu Ling glanced through the rearview mirror at the giant eagle that was turning around in the back seat because of discomfort, and said to the other end of the intercom: "Reply to me if you hear me, reply to me if you hear me. Are you okay, Brother Xiang? Please reply if you hear me!"

Mu Ling left a message to Xiang Bie for who knows how many times. After leaving the message, she put the intercom on the platform, then stepped on the accelerator and sped down the mountain...
