Chapter 47

"Moonlight, it's time to eat."

It was noon on Monday at the veterinary station of the Piccolo Zoo.

After Mu Ling fed Pimi, she put Moonlight's food bowl into its cage, then turned around and went out, intending to control the bear with her voice.

But at this moment, the white bear, who was sitting in the corner with a teddy bear doll in his arms, suddenly moved.

The white bear slowly crawled over, then stopped in front of the food bowl, lowered its head, and licked the can inside.

Huh?

Mu Ling stared at Moonlight's actions in amazement. She hadn't left yet, and she hadn't used her voice to coax it, but Moonlight was willing to come over to eat by itself?

Mu Ling stood outside the cage and didn't dare to move for a moment.

The white bear was a little uncomfortable. While eating the canned food, it kept looking at Mu Ling. Then it used its sharp claws to dig and put the food bowl inside. Then it circled around, stuck its butt out, turned its back to Mu Ling, and continued eating.

Mu Ling wanted to laugh when she saw it like this, but she resisted the urge to disturb it.

The white bear finished the meal quickly, then picked up the food bowl and looked up at the ceiling.

The small speaker on the roof was still reading a story.

Mu Ling quickly turned on the computer and wanted to change the audio to praise Moonlight. However, after Moonlight did not get a response from the small speaker, he turned his head and looked at her with the bowl in his mouth.

Mu Ling: "..."

Mu Ling immediately lowered her voice and asked carefully: "Moonlight, what's wrong?"

Moonlight spit out the bowl, nudged it with her nose, pushed the bowl towards Mu Ling, then lowered her head and began to pick at the soles of her feet.

Mu Ling hesitated for a moment, but finally squatted down and praised: "Moonlight is great, you finished such a big bowl of rice!"

The white bear heard the familiar praise, turned around and ran inside, then picked up the teddy bear in the corner and came over again, sitting near the door of the cage, holding the little bear and looking at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling suddenly thought: "Moonlight takes good care of Little Bear. Little Bear must like Moonlight too."

White Bear understood the word "like". Its semicircular ears moved immediately. Then it shyly buried its face in the arms of the teddy bear. It continued to peek at Mu Ling and finally rolled on the ground.

Mu Ling's heart softened. She hurriedly stepped forward, put her finger into the cage and hooked: "Moonlight, come to sister."

White Bear held the teddy bear and looked at Mu Ling from a distance.

"Moonlight..." Mu Ling coaxed softly, her voice getting softer and softer: "Come."

White Bear must still be a little scared. It held the teddy bear in its mouth and crawled back to the corner. Such a big bear curled up into a small one, lying on the ground looking at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling smiled: "Not bad, at least I've started to quit my internet addiction. We can recharge sooner or later, right?"

As she said this, Mu Ling lifted her knees and stood up. Just as she was about to go out, she turned her sight and suddenly saw Pimi in another cage.

Pimi had stood up at some point. It stood at the door, looking at Mu Ling and Moonlight expressionlessly.

"Ah." Mu Ling was extremely surprised: "Pimi, you're standing up again!"

Mu Ling walked over, opened Pimi's cage, went in and touched it: "What's so big that it's worth our young master standing there in person? Did he pee in his pants?"

Mu Ling touched Pimi's butt.

Eh, no pee?

Mu Ling was stunned for a moment, and then found that Pimi's four legs were not shaking at all.

Mu Ling touched its legs, and it only trembled slightly, but basically all four legs were strong.

"Wow, Pimi, you can stand so steadily without your sister's support!"

Mu Ling supported Pimi when he pooped, but every time he stood up, Pimi's legs were still not very flexible, but now, he can stand steadily!

Pimi lowered his head and licked Mu Ling's fingers, then turned around and walked towards the litter box.

Mu Ling found that although it was still a little shaky when it walked, it was much better than before, even better than this morning!

After the lion entered the litter box, he turned around and smelled his butt.

"Do you want to poop?" Mu Ling went forward to help it take off its urine, then supported it and waited for it to poop.

But Pimi seemed to want to prove himself. It avoided Mu Ling's hand, walked to the other side, and then pretended to poop.

Mu Ling: “…”

Mu Ling just watched it poop…

one second, two seconds, ten seconds passed…

The lion didn't poop. It stood up again, dug in the sand, walked out of the litter box, and then looked up at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling: “…”

It pretended to poop?

But Mu Ling seemed to understand suddenly. She smiled and asked, “You want to tell your sister that you can poop by yourself and don’t need to wear diapers, right?”

The lion sat down, and the tail behind it shook gently twice.

Mu Ling immediately squatted down and rubbed its big head: "Oh, it turns out that our Pimi is so powerful, well, then we won't wear diapers, and we Pimi will solve physiological problems by ourselves in the future!"

Pimi still had Mu Ling touching it, and then it suddenly turned its head and looked to its left.

Mu Ling looked in the direction of its sight, and saw that in the A4 ward on the left, the huge white bear had stuck to the railing at some point, and it was still holding the teddy bear in its arms. Its pointed nose stretched out from the gap in the railing, and it was looking at Mu Ling and Pimi from afar.

"Roar--" Pimi suddenly growled at the white bear.

Mu Ling was startled, and saw that the white bear seemed to be frightened, and its nose shrank back from the gap. It lowered its head and pinched the teddy bear with its black nails.

"Pimi, what's wrong?" Mu Ling hugged the lion's head, not quite understanding: "Why are you suddenly angry with Yueguang?"

Pimi stopped looking at Yueguang, turned his head back and rubbed it in Mu Ling's arms.

Mu Ling touched Pimi for a few minutes and saw that Pimi seemed to have calmed down. Then she looked at Yueguang over there. Yueguang was still playing with the teddy bear. It seemed that nothing happened.

Mu Ling let go of the lion and said gently: "Then sister has to go and get busy. Pimi and Yueguang should have a good rest."

Mu Ling got up and left the cage, but when she turned around to close the door, she saw the lion staring at her intently...

Something was wrong, there seemed to be something wrong with Pimi today.

Mu Ling frowned, walked outside, turned on the surveillance in the ward area, and wanted to see what the two animals would do after she left.

Mu Ling watched for five minutes. There was nothing wrong with the lion and the white bear, and they had not communicated. Mu Ling went to look through the previous surveillance.

This time, she really found it.

Just this morning, after Mu Ling finished cleaning up Pimi, she went to get Moonlight. As usual, she coaxed Moonlight to eat, and then waited until Moonlight fell asleep, then she went in to change the medicine for Moonlight. After changing the medicine, she kissed Moonlight as usual, and then took advantage of it while Moonlight was not awake.

Mu Ling didn't feel anything when she did all this in the morning, but now that she was looking at it from a God's perspective, she realized that Pimi was actually looking at her at that time, or rather, Pimi's eyes had never left her since she entered Moonlight's cage.

Mu Ling continued to push the surveillance back to last night.

It was the same last night, yesterday at noon, and yesterday morning...

For several days in a row, because it was more troublesome to take care of Moonlight, Pimi seemed to feel neglected when there were only two animals in the ward.

Mu Ling turned the surveillance to the day before the zoo opened, which was the day when Qilin and the others moved to the animal dormitory. When Qilin and the others were still there, Pimi didn't seem to have any discomfort, but when Qilin and the others left, Pimi wanted to follow them, but after failing, it began to become a little sensitive.

If Mu Ling talked to Yue Guang for a while, Pi Mi would look at them. If Mu Ling kissed Yue Guang a few more times, Pi Mi would look at them. If Mu Ling applied medicinal flowers to Yue Guang for too long, Pi Mi would also look at them.

Mu Ling even found that when she didn't know, Pi Mi would secretly do rehabilitation in the cage.

It would walk slowly along the edge of the cage and practice pooping slowly.

No wonder Mu Ling felt that Pi Mi had become more and more stable in the past few days. It turned out that it was not only because of the temperature adjustment of the food, but Pi Mi himself was also working hard!

It seemed to think that only if it did a good job, she would like it a little more...

So when she was in its cage just now, Pi Mi suddenly yelled at Yue Guang angrily. Did it think that Yue Guang was going to take her away again?

"Oh." Mu Ling covered her mouth, tears were about to fall!

She quickly got up, walked back to the ward area, opened the cage and hugged Pimi!

Pimi thought Mu Ling had left, closed his eyes and prepared to take a nap, but the sudden hug confused him. The lion's rough and long face had a big mouth.

"mua!" Mu Ling kissed Pimi's head, and then kissed its nose, ears, and big face. Mu Ling kissed Pimi many times. Finally, she hugged it again and said softly: "Our Pimi is great, Pimi is the cutest lion in the world. Our Pimi is fine now. Sister will take you to the animal dormitory, okay? You can meet other good friends in the animal dormitory."

Mu Ling did what she said and immediately opened the cage to let the lion out.

Pimi was still sitting on the ground in a daze. When he saw the cage was opened, he didn't realize that it was being let out...

until Mu Ling called out several times at the door, the lion stood up tentatively and took two steps forward in a mist.

He took two steps and stopped, looking up at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling encouraged him from outside the cage: "Pimi, come on, don't be afraid, come."

Pimi understood the command "come" and walked out immediately.

Mu Ling was very happy and led him out with a smile.

At this time, there were basically no tourists in the service area, and even the staff were eating in the restaurant.

"Fuck!" Xiao Zhao, who had just finished his meal and was about to go back to the ticket office, suddenly saw the director taking Pimi out. He was so scared that he quickly hid in the restaurant.

This is the black-headed lion!

Several other employees in the restaurant also saw it, and they all stood by the glass door to watch, muttering: "Hey, Pimi's body seems to have improved a lot!"

"But he still walks a little slowly, and he's still so thin."

"There's no way. He went on a hunger strike before, which completely ruined his body. It will take at least a few months to fully recover. I saw the other day that the director had to feed Pimi one bite at a time during meals."

This was Pimi's first time out of the veterinary station in half a month. He lowered his head to smell the smells everywhere, and was very careful with every step he took.

Until, he suddenly smelled a familiar smell.

Mu Ling opened the door of the animal dormitory and said happily, "Ting ting ting, we're here."

With the appearance of Mu Ling, several animals in the animal dormitory raised their heads and looked over.

The first to stand up was Qilin, who stretched his waist and licked his mouth as he walked over.

After reaching the door, the golden tiger stretched its neck and sniffed the lion at the door.

The lion did not move, but just quietly let the tiger sniff, but out of instinct, it still took an offensive posture and bared its fangs, so that it could ensure that if the tiger suddenly attacked it, it could also fight back.

After sniffing for a while, Qilin went to the side, rubbed Mu Ling's fingers with its forehead, and then turned around and walked back inside.

Seeing this, Mu Ling hurriedly said to Pimi, "Quick, Pimi, follow Qilin, it has accepted you!"

The tiger walked all the way back to its soft cushion, lay down again, put his hands in his pockets and looked outside.

At this time, Pimi finally plucked up the courage, took a step, and walked into this space full of the smell of other animals.

Facing the invasion of the lion, the other animals in the animal dormitory basically had no reaction. The black panther that occupied the eagle's nest was curled up in the nest and yawned.

The eagle found a new nest and began to perch on the head of the giant elephant, only slightly opening its golden eyes.

The little wolf knew nothing and was still sleeping with his belly spread out. Qing Mi glanced at Pimi and lowered his head to lick his son's fur.

The only one who had some reaction was the giant elephant.

Because it had never seen Pimi before, Magic curled its long nose and started to walk towards the door.

The oversized Magic obviously scared the malnourished lion. Pimi quickly got around the big guy, and because it ran a little too fast, its legs lost strength and it fell.

It quickly got up and walked to the corner.

The elephant continued to walk towards the lion, and Pimi continued to circle around the elephant. In the end, the lion could no longer move and roared at the elephant angrily: "Roar!!!"

This is the lion's expression of anger.

The elephant finally realized that it was not welcome, so it had to give up. It stopped where it was, curled its nose awkwardly, and finally went to the small swimming pool, sucked some water, and pretended that it came to drink water.

After drinking the water, the elephant turned around and went back to the tree, and continued to sleep against the tree.

Seeing the elephant leave, Pimi also put away his blown fur. He licked his mouth and finally sat down in the corner, keeping a distance from other animals.

As a new outsider, if you don't want to start a war right away and compete for the position of leader, then the wisest choice is to marginalize yourself first, and then wait for an opportunity to act.

Lions are social animals. They are very good at grabbing territory, but at the same time, as war beasts, war lions are very good at integrating into the group.

After being separated for a few days, they may still be a little unfamiliar for a while. Mu Ling saw that the animals at least didn't fight, so she was relieved. The rest depends on them getting along on their own.

After instructing Xiao Zhao to help her keep an eye on the surveillance of the animal dormitory at the ticket office, Mu Ling returned to the ward area.

The main reason is that the brown deer have recovered from their injuries and returned to the mountains. Now there is only one bear, Moonlight, left in the ward area. Mu Ling is afraid that it will not get used to it. After all, Pimi only became sensitive after the other animals left.

As a result, when Mu Ling returned to the ward area, she saw White Bear lying in the A4 cage and had fallen asleep sweetly.

For the socially anxious Bear, the current ward area is heaven!

Mu Ling: "..."

Okay, okay, one becomes lonely because of having no neighbors, and the other becomes happy because of having no neighbors. You both have a bright future!

Mu Ling did not disturb White Bear and walked outside quietly. Then she opened the webpage and started looking at the recruitment website.

Didn't Mu Ling say before that if the number of tourists remained stable within three days, she would recruit more people? Today is the fourth day of opening, and the enthusiasm of tourists has not decreased. Xiao Zhao checks Star Network every day and tells Mu Ling the feedback from netizens. Mu Ling has heard many calls for increasing the number of visitors.

In this case, let's increase it!

Mu Ling was excitedly preparing to issue a new recruitment announcement for keepers, but as soon as she entered the backstage, she saw a resume.

Currently, all other recruitment information of the Bic Zoo has been withdrawn, and only the announcement for recruiting a veterinarian is still posted.

When the veterinarian was first recruited, seven or eight people came to submit their resumes every day, but as Mu Ling rejected them one by one, no one has come to apply in the past two days.

Unexpectedly, there is one again today.

Mu Ling clicked on the resume. She didn't care much at first, but as she looked at it, her eyes widened. In the end, Mu Ling could not wait to dial the other party's number.

The communication rang twice before someone answered. It was a young man's voice: "Hello?"

Mu Ling said with a smile: "Excuse me, is this Mr. Ellen Bray? This is the God King Star Beak Zoo. We saw the resume you submitted."

-Eight

o'clock in the evening, in the office of the director of the National War Beast Hospital of the Federation Capital Star.

Director Wu looked at the time, put the last document into the drawer, took off his glasses, and prepared to go home after work.

At this time, the communication in his office suddenly rang.

Dean Wu picked up the phone and asked casually, "Who is this?"

The person on the other end of the line didn't know what he said. Dean Wu frowned and said, "Dean Chen, please speak slowly. Are you saying that Dr. Ellen Bray is going to resign? Do you hope that our Veterinary Association will arrange another senior veterinarian to the North Red Star War Zone as soon as possible?"

The person on the other end said something else. Dean Wu's ears hurt. He rubbed his temples and said, "Okay, okay, Dean Chen, don't worry. I remember that Dr. Bray is an excellent doctor who is hardworking and not afraid of difficulties. Why did he suddenly ask to resign? Is there something wrong at home?"

"Zoo?" Dean Wu was suddenly confused. The white-haired old man had to put his glasses back on, as if his vision had cleared up and his mind had also cleared up: "You said Dr. Bray is going to work as a veterinarian in a zoo? Dean Chen, did he tell you this in person?"

The person on the other end continued to speak, and Dean Wu could only say in the end: "Then I'll ask him first. Dean Chen, don't worry, if Dr. Bray insists on leaving, the Veterinary Association will arrange for a veterinarian to replace him in the war zone as soon as possible, and will not leave your hospital position vacant."

After hanging up the call, Dean Wu did not leave work, but sat down and continued to call Dr. Bray.

Someone soon picked up the phone.

Dean Wu was about to ask, but Dr. Bray took the initiative to answer: "I am going to the Beak Zoo. I have already submitted my resume and negotiated the salary with Director Mu via video. She hopes that I will take up the post within a week. President Wu, please send a new doctor as soon as possible. I will complete the handover with the new doctor before leaving."

The War Zone Hospital of North Red Star was built with government funds. The veterinarians inside were arranged by the Veterinary Association. Dean Wu is the director of the Capital Star National War Veterinary Hospital and the president of the Federation Veterinary Association. He is responsible for all these matters.

Listening to Dr. Bray's decisive words, Dean Wu suddenly fell silent.

Doctor Bray could guess what Dean Wu was thinking right now, so he said directly: "I know you don't understand. You may be as arrogant as me and don't even know what the Piccolo Zoo is, but I can tell you that the answer to treating the sequelae of the H9TY virus is most likely in the Piccolo Zoo! Because the War Beasts are extremely talented, they will not mutate after being bitten by alien beasts, but the H9TY virus carried by the alien beasts will still cause irreversible damage to their nerves. Although the Federation has developed many drugs to repair the nerves of War Beasts, treatment is always difficult due to the War Beasts' non-cooperation. But now, I think I have seen new hope, and that hope is..."

"Okay?" Dean Wu suddenly spoke up, interrupting Dr. Bray's eloquent speech.

Dr. Bray's next words were suddenly stuck in his throat. He choked for a moment before speaking: "Ah?"

Dean Wu said in a heavy tone: "I said okay. Dean Chen just mentioned that you were going to be a veterinarian in a zoo, but didn't mention that it was the Bic Zoo. If you are going to the Bic Zoo, okay, I agree. Send me your resignation letter and I'll stamp it for you."

Dr. Bray: "..."

Dr. Bray paused and suddenly asked: "Aren't you here to persuade me?"

Dean Wu: "Not now."

"Why?"

"Because we just had a meeting yesterday, how can we sneak into the Piccolo Zoo and observe those war beasts closely. Our original plan was to pretend to be tourists, but because we didn't get a single ticket for several days, this plan failed..."

Dr. Bray: "..."

Dean Wu: "Now, my friend Dr. Ellen Bray, if you can become an employee of the Piccolo Zoo, you will definitely invite us to visit your workplace in the future, right?"

Dr. Bray: "?"

Dr. Bray said: "If you also want to study the war beasts in the Piccolo Zoo, you can use your position to contact the local Forestry Bureau. If the Forestry Bureau is involved..."

Dean Wu interrupted Dr. Bray: "Do you think we haven't reported it to the higher-ups? But Kirin's master Colonel Val, Lightning's master Lieutenant Herman, Qingjiao's master Colonel Yunli, and Invincible's master Lieutenant Song Cheng heard the news from somewhere and reported us directly with their real names. They said they didn't want their war beasts to become experiments of the Veterinary Association. We explained to them that we would not harm any war beasts, but they still disagreed because they still had misunderstandings about the Veterinary Association because of Lucky's death. "

When "Lucky" was mentioned, Dr. Bree understood that there was once an S-level war bird named Lucky, a gray-winged crane, whose nerve damage was treated very well, but its condition suddenly worsened in the later stage. It took less than three days from the onset of illness to death. Because of this incident, the Veterinary Association was accused of using war beasts for experiments.

This incident caused a huge uproar, and some people still have misunderstandings about the Veterinary Association.

Dr. Bray fell silent.

Dean Wu said, "Send me your resignation letter and I'll sign it for you..."

Then, Dean Wu asked, "But why did the Beek Zoo suddenly hire you? Dr. Bray, with all due respect, you are just an ordinary senior veterinarian. We have many professor-level veterinarians in the Veterinary Association who are more experienced and authoritative than you. Can you help ask if the Beek Zoo is still short of veterinarians?"

Dr. Bray: "..."

Just based on what you said, I will never hire you.
