Chapter 49

If you walk along the river and above the water source, you can use the suspension mode to hurry up.

Therefore, after driving for more than 20 minutes and arriving at a tributary downstream of the outer periphery, Mu Ling immediately changed the car to the suspension mode.

However, although she flew, the suspension height of the suspension car can only be up to 30 meters above the ground, so Mu Ling's vision is still not wide, and she has to rely on Step Cloud to help her explore the way.

The car drove forward all the way, and when it arrived at the 091 tributary, it was already an hour later.

"Step Cloud, go there." Mu Ling stuck her head out of the window and pointed in a direction.

The eagle in the sky immediately swooped down, entered the jungle, and disappeared very quickly.

Brother Zhao said that the white fox was heading upstream to the 091 branch, so Mu Ling asked Ta Yun to fly around the 091 branch for ten kilometers, but they saw nothing.

It was 12:30 noon.

In the patrol car parked in the forest, the giant eagle was standing on the passenger seat eating and drinking water, and Mu Ling watched the video that Ta Yun had just shot at eight times the speed... After a while, she sighed and raised her hand to rub her eyebrows.

The giant eagle was also full and drunk at this time. It flapped its wings and flew into Mu Ling's arms, and its small head leaned forward to rub Mu Ling's cheek.

Mu Ling hugged its body, stroked it gently, and muttered: "Lingren seems to have run away, at least not near the 091 branch."

After rubbing Mu Ling for a while, the giant eagle sat down again, turned its head and began to peck its wings, combing its feathers beautifully.

Mu Ling looked at the forest outside the car with a heavy heart, and slowly reviewed: "First of all, we need to analyze why Lingren ran to the outer circle. According to the records, the area where Lingren often lives is in the swamp forest west of the inner circle, but now, she has run to the main river of the outer circle. This kind of sudden migration is usually accompanied by the occurrence of special events, so, what is it?"

"Could it be related to its injury? Brother Zhao said that its wound looked like an old one, which means it has been injured for a while. Could it be that it had a fight with other animals and was driven out of the swamp forest and had to go to the periphery? But Lingren is also an S-class warbeast after all. Who can beat it? The only ones who can beat it are other S-class warbeasts, but there are only a few S-class warbeasts in the park, and they all live in their own corners and never pick on each other..."

"Then what else is possible? There are only three reasons that can make animals change their habitats. One, encountering a natural enemy, two, lack of water, and three, lack of food. The natural enemy of foxes is wolves, and the natural enemy of S-level foxes is S-level wolves. Qingjiao? Qingjiao has lived at the foot of the mountain for half a month. It can't be blamed for this..."

"Water and food sources are even more impossible. There are streams and water sources everywhere on the mountain. There are food distribution points every few kilometers, and there is no shortage of food..."

"Could it be that the actors, like Qilin, discovered the alien beasts that sneaked into the park and followed the alien beasts to the outskirts? Impossible. If there were alien beasts in the park, Tayun would have reacted just now. How could he be so calm combing his fur?"

"Then all possibilities have been ruled out, why else could it be?"

Mu Ling really couldn't figure it out, and after hesitating for a moment, she decided to go to a nearby food distribution point to see if there were any signs that the food had been eaten .

When Mu Ling was driving, the giant eagle was about to fly out again, so Mu Ling hung the optical computer back on its neck and let it continue filming.

Twenty minutes later, Mu Ling arrived at the first food distribution point. The food here had signs of being moved, but not by foxes, because there was not a single white fox hair to be seen around, and only some weasel footprints could be seen.

There are weasels raised in the park, about seven or eight of them, and they live nearby.

Maybe because this is the weasel's territory, the actors didn't come here to eat?

Thinking of this, Mu Ling returned to the car, restarted the car, and went to the next food point.

The food at the next food point is intact, and there are no signs of animals nearby. It has been three days since it was put

there, and no animals have come to eat at all. When the food is changed tomorrow, these foods must be replaced with new ones, otherwise the animals will get sick if they eat the damp animal food. At the next food point, there are traces of large animals stepping on it. The animal food has been almost eaten up, but looking at the footprints, there are no white fox footprints, and there is no white fox hair around.

In this way, Mu Ling searched from noon to afternoon, and searched along the 091 river for more than four hours, but found no clues.

Looking at the time, it was almost five o'clock. Mu Ling sighed and decided to go to the black forest in front for another walk. If he still couldn't find it, he would have to call for support.

The park closed at 6:30, and after all the guests had left, Brother Wei and Brother Xiang were asked to come up and help.

Driving the car to the steep entrance of the black forest, Mu Ling put on protective clothing and walked inside.

Just after taking two steps, suddenly, the leaves on the tree shook. Mu Ling looked up and saw two small black sables with black fur all over their bodies sneaking out from the shadows of the trees and then quickly running to another tree.

Mu Ling saw that they were old acquaintances, and smiled and called out, "Pa Pa, Juan Juan."

The two black sables that were about to run away paused, turned their heads, stretched their necks and sniffed towards Mu Ling.

After sniffing for a while, the young couple came back with a chuckle. They ran to the tree in front of Mu Ling, jumping up and down, and making a "chuckle" sound.

This is the sound they make to express their happiness.

Mu Ling smiled, walked to the tree, raised her hand and touched them.

The two sables did not leave, but just lowered their heads and let Mu Ling touch them.

Mu Ling took out another bag of chicken jerky from the big pocket of his work clothes, tore off two slices, fed them, and bribed them: "Let me ask you something. Have you ever seen a white fox? There's blood on its front legs, and it's limping."

The two sables held the chicken jerky in their mouths and quickly finished it. Then one of them was brave enough to jump onto Mu Ling's arm and then crawl into her pocket.

Mu Ling laughed, picked up the sable, put it back on the tree, and then took two pieces of dried chicken to give them: "Here, here, here, all for you, take some back for Jiji and Xiangxiang to eat. You have all been vaccinated, right? No one was missed, right?"

Mu Ling said, and she bent the buttocks of the two sables and saw the white marks on their buttocks. Those who have been vaccinated will have marks on their buttocks to distinguish them.

"Yeah, very good, then you guys play slowly, I'll go in and look for it." Mu Ling chatted with the familiar sables at the entrance of the village, and then continued to look for the white fox.

Not long after she walked in, the two sables followed her, one of them still had half a piece of dried chicken in its mouth, and I don't know if it was taken back for the two children to eat.

Just like that, accompanied by the two sables, Mu Ling walked deeper and deeper into the woods.

Until not long after...

"Hiss, hiss..."

The two sables suddenly screamed in alarm!

Mu Ling paused, stopped and looked at them.

When the sables make a hissing sound, it usually means that there is something strange nearby that makes them afraid and terrified.

Mu Ling immediately looked up at the sky.

The giant eagle in the sky was still soaring. Since Mu Ling entered the woods, Ta Yun had been following her head. If the sables wanted to react, they would have reacted long ago, and would not react now.

So it wasn't Ta Yun who scared them, that is... there must be something else nearby that scares them...

Mu Ling immediately observed the direction of the two sables' calls carefully, and she found that they were calling towards the mountain wall in front of her on the right.

What happened to that mountain wall?

Mu Ling pulled up his protective suit and fastened his hood, then he carefully touched the tranquilizer gun and slowly approached the mountain wall.

"Hiss, hiss..." The two sables screamed louder, as if they wanted to stop Mu Ling from going over.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement on the mountain wall, and a white figure suddenly emerged from the rocky col on the side of the mountain wall.

The white figure moved very quickly, and it swooped directly towards Mu Ling's face. It was like a hunter who had been hiding in the dark for a long time, waiting for the right time to show its sharp fangs and fierce claws, and kill the prey with one blow without any hesitation!

Mu Ling is now that prey!

The attack of the white fox was so unexpected that Mu Ling instinctively hugged her face and turned her back.

Something heavy suddenly pressed down on her body. Mu Ling realized that the white fox had jumped onto her back and bit her neck fiercely.

The protective suit protected Mu Ling very well, and her skin was not injured. However, the fear of being attacked by the beast at such close range still made her sweat all over and her scalp tingled.

And at this moment.

The ferocious cry of an eagle suddenly came from above, and then Mu Ling felt that Stepping Cloud had landed on her head. Then, something happened behind her. The weight of the white fox on her back disappeared, and footsteps came from the back, getting farther and farther away.

Mu Ling turned her head carefully, and the first thing she saw was blood all over the ground.

She looked forward and saw a hunched figure who was struggling to move, with blood all over his tail and front paws, and was staggering away.

Mu Ling's face was very gloomy. She immediately pulled out the tranquilizer pistol and aimed it forward.

At this moment, perhaps it was the animal's instinctive perception of danger, the sensitive white fox suddenly turned its head.

Mu Ling was suddenly stunned...

The danger came too quickly just now, and she didn't see the white fox's appearance carefully. Now looking at it again, the white fox is exactly the same as the photo in the information. Its fur is snow-white and clean, but there is a red hair like a flower in the middle of its eyebrows. Under the red hair, it has a pair of slanted and charming purple animal eyes, which are noble and mysterious, and full of charm.

It is really beautiful. Mu Ling was a little stunned as she looked at it. It is said that its owner named it "Lingren" because from the first sight he saw it, he felt that it looked very much like the famous actor who was once active on the stage, singing and dancing, and melodiously chanting in the ancient Blue Star civilization.

Mu Ling now feels that the owner's idea is absolutely right. Lingren is a famous actor. As long as it stands there, even if it is damaged, even if it is a wolf, even if it is in the mud and swamp, it still glows all over.

It doesn't look like a warrior, it is more like an artist.

Mu Ling's fingers holding the tranquilizer gun trembled slightly. She really couldn't bring herself to kill such a beautiful white fox.

But looking at the injuries on its body, Mu Ling knew that she couldn't let it go. It had lost so much blood, and it would die if it was not treated!

With a determined look in his eyes, Mu Ling was about to shoot, but the white fox had already turned around completely. It seemed to recognize the gun, and its expression suddenly became ferocious. It bared its teeth, and on its innocent face, its sharp teeth shone with a cold light.

It suddenly roared at Mu Ling: "Ga!!!!!"

Mu Ling: "...

" Mu Ling: "?"

"Ga——"

the white fox continued to call, and the call was broken and hoarse, like a dying duck.

I am uneducated, so don't lie to me, foxes don't call like this...

The white fox saw that Mu Ling didn't shoot, so it turned around and continued to run...

"Bang." Mu Ling fired, and the white fox in front of him slowly softened. Under the catalysis of the drug, it finally didn't move.

Mu Ling sighed and was about to walk over when she suddenly felt something was wrong.

She glanced up and said hesitantly, "Thank you, Mr. Ta, for saving my life. I'm fine now. My benefactor, would you please stop picking my scalp?"

Mu Ling moved a bit, and Ta Yun felt unstable under its feet, so it flapped its wings and flew into the sky again.

Mu Ling rubbed her head and walked quickly towards the white fox.

When she got closer, Mu Ling realized that there were more injuries on the actor's body than she saw.

The wound on the tail was a new one, and she didn't know how it was injured. It looked like it was pinched. There were some stone chips on the wound. Could it be pinched by a crack in the stone?

The left front paw was pecked by Ta Yun, and it bled, but there wasn't much blood. It was obvious that Ta Yun had restrained himself.

Mu Ling touched the bones of the white fox again.

The bone of its right front paw was soft. The bone must have been broken and never reconnected, so it usually dragged its front paw to walk, so its paw was also very dirty.

There was a lot of new and old blood on its body.

Mu Ling sighed, looking at the fragile and dying appearance of the white fox, picked it up, and walked out of the black forest with it.

The two sables, who had been scared away by the gunfight here, ran over again. They stood on the tree trunks nearby and watched Mu Ling leave.

After Mu Ling returned to the car, he first opened the medical kit and simply treated the two new wounds of the white fox. Then he carefully placed it on the back seat, got on the driver's seat, and drove back.

Tayun was still flying in the sky. Mu Ling called it several times. It came down obediently to drink water and eat some bird food, but after eating and drinking, it wanted to fly again. Mu Ling saw that it could still fly, so she let it go.

When we returned to the service area, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.

As soon as Mu Ling drove the car into the service area, she heard Xiao Zhao's loud voice to announce the news: "The director is back! The director is back!"

Instantly, countless heads popped out from the veterinary station, the supermarket, the garage, and the dormitory building.

Mu Ling parked the car in the square, and before the car stopped, many people gathered around the car, led by Zhao Fang and Wei Li.

"Director, why did you come back just now!" Wei Li was anxious: "You didn't even answer the walkie-talkie!"

"Ah?" Mu Ling hurriedly picked up her walkie-talkie and looked at it, embarrassed: "Oh, it's out of battery."

Wei Li said: "Brother Xiang went up the mountain to find you. I told him to come back."

As Wei Li said this, he walked out of the crowd with the walkie-talkie and said to the other side: "Brother Xiang, Brother Xiang, the director is back, you should come back quickly."

Mu Ling was a little embarrassed, tiptoed and looked at Wei Li's back, and explained in a low voice: "There is a battery in the car, I forgot to check the walkie-talkie..."

At this time, Zhao Fang asked her: "Director, have you found the actor?"

Mu Ling nodded, she opened the door of the back seat, and suddenly everyone saw the motionless white fox covered in blood.

The people in the three inner and outer circles suddenly fell silent.

Mu Ling carried the white fox out and said, "Everyone, please make way. I'll take it to the veterinary station first."

Everyone quickly made way.

After Mu Ling put the white fox on the operating table, she went out again, called Tayun down, sent it back to the animal dormitory, and then she returned to the veterinary station.

The director came back, and the others dispersed. Although they still wanted to see the white fox, they didn't dare to disturb the director's treatment... While Mu Ling was treating the wound of the white fox, the door of the veterinary station suddenly opened and Xiang Bie walked in.

When Mu Ling saw Brother Xiang, she felt extremely embarrassed and said quickly: "Brother Xiang, I'm sorry, I..."

"It's okay." Xiang Bie said lightly: "My opponent has been bad before, I'm glad he's okay."

Mu Ling thought of the last time she couldn't contact Brother Xiang for two days, she sighed: "I will buy a solar charger in the future! Upgrade for all of us!"

Xiang Bie didn't say anything, he just went to the sink to wash his hands, and after drying his hands, he took the initiative to come to Mu Ling, hand her tools, and be her assistant.

Mu Ling also sewed up the bleeding wound of the white fox while telling her what happened after meeting the white fox today.

When Xiang Bie heard that Mu Ling was attacked, his brows immediately wrinkled, and he turned around and looked at her seriously.

Mu Ling smiled and said, "Oh, I'm fine. I was so smart. I immediately wrapped myself in protective clothing!"

"No helmet." Xiang Bie said solemnly.

Mu Ling said, "I was a little careless. There will definitely not be a next time!"

Xiang Bie didn't say anything in the end. He looked at the white fox's injuries again and said, "The pad is broken."

Yes, in addition to the left front paw being pecked by the cloud, the right front paw bone was broken, and the tail was suspected to be caught by a stone crack, the remaining injuries of the white fox were the most serious on its four feet.

The pads on the soles of the feet were all broken. Touching the scars on them, they were more worn out than walking 800 kilometers a day.

"What on earth has it been through? All four legs are almost broken by it." Mu Ling still can't figure out why the white fox suddenly came from the inner circle to the outer circle and injured itself.

The wound was quickly sutured, and Mu Ling began to set the bones of the white fox.

While setting the bones, the white fox, which had obviously fainted, suddenly twitched and made a faint whimpering sound from its mouth: "Ga..."

The sound was very small, and after crying out, it fainted again.

Mu Ling was startled and quickly let go of it and walked eighteen steps away from it!

Xiang Bie didn't move. He just stood there and watched. Two minutes later, when he was sure that the white fox was no longer moving, Xiang Bie said, "It's not awake yet."

Mu Ling breathed a sigh of relief and walked back carefully: "Although it hasn't woken up, it feels like it's about to wake up. Does its file say this?"

Xiang Bie looked up the file and then said, "The medical record says that it has a sensitive constitution and metabolizes ordinary anesthetics too quickly. It needs higher quality anesthetics to be effectively anesthetized."

Mu Ling's heart suddenly softened: "She is beautiful, has a noble profession, has rare purple eyes, and a sensitive constitution. What kind of fairy is this? Character setting."

Xiang Bie: "It's a male."

Mu Ling: "..."

Mu Ling lifted the white fox's hind legs, took a look, and was silent: "Oh, a fairy man..."

Mu Ling said again: "So this is the legendary boy with a feminine appearance? What a mysterious feeling, by the way, it's also called an actor, many of the famous actors on the ancient blue star are men, right!"

Xiang Bie looked at Mu Ling who looked like she was already fascinated by the fox spirit, and was silent for a while, and asked: "Do you know why it is called an actor?"

Mu Ling connected the bones and was tying the auxiliary device, saying: "Of course I know, because it is as beautiful as a famous actor!"

"No."

"Huh?" Mu Ling looked at Xiang Bie: "Isn't it?"

Xiang Bie pursed his lips: "Because it has the ugliest duck voice in the War Beast Kindergarten since it was a child. Its owner hopes that it can transform into a famous actor with a clear and ethereal voice when it grows up, so he named it Actor."

Mu Ling: "..."

Xiang Bie: "The wish has not come true. It still has a duck voice now."

Mu Ling: "..."

Mu Ling choked. She stroked the beautiful hair of the white fox again without giving up, and said stubbornly: "Nonsense, nonsense, I just think its voice is very nice! Very unique! Even if it is a duck voice, it is the most charming duck voice!"

Xiang Bie: "..."

Mu Ling quickly treated the wound of the white fox, and then wiped the blood off its body, and quickly carried it into the ward before it woke up.

As Mu Ling appeared in the ward area, the white bear in Ward A4 suddenly stood up.

The white bear quickly climbed to the door of the cage, opened its mouth to hold the empty food bowl, and looked towards Mu Ling.

After Mu Ling put the white fox down, she looked up and saw Yueguang holding the food bowl in the distance. She was stunned for a moment. Xiang Bie

glanced at it and explained, "Xiao Zhao fed it at lunch, and it said that after eating, it held the food bowl in its mouth and looked at the door. It did the same when I fed it at dinner, looking at the stereo for a while and then at the door. It must be looking for you."

Mu Ling was almost heartbroken. She hurried to the front of the white bear's cage, squatted down and said softly: "Moonlight, I'm sorry, sister had something to do today and didn't come to feed you. But our Moonlight is so good that she ate all the food. Our Moonlight is simply the most powerful little bear in the world!"

The white bear spit the bowl on the ground. It looked at Mu Ling again after being praised, then lowered its head, picked up the teddy bear on the ground, and returned to the corner.

Mu Ling smiled and waved at the door: "Moonlight, come here, sister, can I touch it?"

The white bear didn't go over, but rubbed its head against the wall, looking shy.

"Moonlight, come... come..."

Mu Ling called for a long time in every possible way, but the white bear seemed to still be cautious and never approached Mu Ling again.

Mu Ling's legs were numb from squatting, so she had to stand up and said gently: "Then sister will come to feed you tomorrow morning." Xiang Bie

was still the one keeping watch at the veterinary station tonight. Mu Ling felt embarrassed and said that she would come tonight, but Xiang Bie said no and asked her to go back and rest. Mu Ling was indeed tired after a day of work, so she said that it was okay for someone else to come, but Xiang Bie still said no.

Seeing that Brother Xiang insisted, Mu Ling had no choice but to silently remember to increase his salary and then returned to the dormitory. It

was twelve o'clock in the evening.

When Mu Ling was snoring, Yueguang heard something in the ward area of ​​the veterinary station and woke up.

The polar bear opened his dark eyes and looked confusedly at another cage far away from him. He saw a limping fox in that cage, walking back and forth anxiously.

Because they were all white fur, the polar bear got up from the ground, holding the teddy bear in his mouth, and moved to the edge of the cage to stare at the white fox.

The gentle storytelling voice in the sky made the polar bear feel relaxed. He looked at the fox, and as he looked, the white fox also looked at him.

"Ga!!!" A fierce scream suddenly rang out.

The polar bear was stunned and blinked.

The fox stared at the polar bear vigilantly, lowered its front body, and made a posture of attack and confrontation. It opened its mouth again and roared: "Ga————" The

long cry was harsh and tone-deaf.

Xiang Bie heard the sound and came in quickly. As soon as he reached the door, the white fox found him.

The white fox suddenly felt attacked from both sides. Its two ears were pressed against the back of its head. Its beautiful purple pupils were trembling slightly. Its wounds were still bleeding. It looked weak, but its voice was still sharp. What came out of its throat was not the "ah ah" or "whimper" sound of a normal fox, but: "Ga-Ga--"

It was shouting to drive away the enemy. This unfamiliar environment made it extremely nervous!

Xiang Bie frowned and was hesitating whether to call Mu Ling. Suddenly, the white bear in ward A4 also moved.

Xiang Bie looked over and saw the white bear spinning in the cage. As it spun, it tilted its head from time to time and rubbed its ears on the ground. After rubbing for a while, it scratched its ears with its claws and continued to spin.

"Gah! Gah!" The white fox didn't know what the white bear was spinning about. It was very frightened and pretended to roar at the bear!

But the louder the white fox shouted, the more anxious the white bear became. Finally, the white bear could only retreat to the corner, facing the wall with its head against the wall, and holding its ears tightly with its two claws...

The voice-controlled bear had never suffered such grievances. It had never heard such an unpleasant sound!
