Chapter 55

"Lingren?"

Mu Ling hugged Lingren and was the first to notice Lingren's unusual reaction.

Seeing Lingren looking at the two lions, Mu Ling's heart skipped a beat and his eyes widened: "What are you looking at?"

The white fox tilted its head slightly towards the lioness, and its dark nose tried to sniff the air.

Mu Ling was so nervous that her breathing slowed down.

It is said that the alien rat on the starship was in the same room with other checked animals before escaping from the cargo hold!

No way, could it have infected other animals?

Impossible, that Lieutenant Luo is a member of the Beast Guard. He knows so much about alien beasts. When something so serious happens, he will definitely check whether the other animals are safe first. If there is a problem, he will not let them go off the ship!

Besides, whether it is animals in the zoo or private pets, they must be vaccinated. Even if they are really bitten by alien beasts, they may not be infected!

Mu Ling stared closely at Lingren's every move, paying attention to all his reactions at any time.

"Director Mu? What's wrong?" Manager Chen took two steps and found that Mu Ling didn't follow him, so he turned around and asked in confusion.

Mu Ling came back to his senses and saw that although Lingren was alert, he didn't show any intention of rushing forward, so he followed Manager Chen.

When they reached the truck, the door of the truck was just closed, and Mu Ling could no longer see the two lions.

She looked at the white fox again and saw that the white fox was still staring at the door of the truck. Its beautiful inverted triangle head tilted in confusion, and its two snow-white ears trembled slightly, but that was all...

"Director Mu, get in the car." Manager Chen said again, opened the door, and let Mu Ling get in first.

This is a transport vehicle sent by the Four Bays Star Forestry Bureau. There is a truck-like compartment in the back and four seats in the front.

Except for the driver's seat, the remaining three seats are by default occupied by the three responsible persons from the God King Star. As

for the subordinates they brought with them, they took another small car, and the luggage was also placed in that small car.

Mu Ling and Fas separated again, and Mu Ling held the actor and sat in the innermost seat in the back row of the truck.

Manager Chen and Manager Harry saw this and rushed to grab the passenger seat!

In the end, Manager Chen was more skilled and grabbed the passenger seat. He quickly sat on it, put on his seat belt, and looked at Manager Harry with a smile.

Manager Harry: "..."

Manager Harry swallowed his saliva and sat on the back seat trembling.

As soon as he sat down, Manager Harry coughed lightly, moved his butt outward, and pressed his body against the car door, trying to keep a distance from the white fox in Mu Ling's... arms!

"Manager Harry." Mu Ling said with a smile: "Actors don't bite."

Manager Harry pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly: "I know, I know."

But his butt still didn't move here at all.

Mu Ling had to let Lingren's head lean on her right shoulder, so that there was a little distance between them and Manager Harry could not see Lingren at all.

Manager Harry felt embarrassed by Mu Ling and quickly changed the subject by chatting: "Is this white fox a new war beast received by Piccolo Zoo? I don't think I have seen it before."

Mu Ling said: "No, it has been here for almost a year, but it used to live in the mountains. It was injured recently, so we took it down."

At this point, Mu Ling explained: "Lingren still has some problems with memory and common sense. It recognizes me more now. I'm afraid that if I leave, it will get into trouble in the zoo, so I just took it on a business trip, and I am really sorry for causing you two inconvenience."

Manager Harry didn't dare to respond, and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, you have been controlling it well, how can it be inconvenient, and before on the starship, it was thanks to you, otherwise I don't know how many troubles would have happened."

Speaking of the things on the starship, Mu Ling glanced at Ling Ren again, and saw that although Ling Ren was resting his head on her shoulder obediently, his eyes were still open, looking at the carriage behind, and his nose was constantly sniffing.

Mu Ling asked, "Manager Harry, our Roumei and Xiaoduo, are they not scared?"

Manager Harry was a little worried when he mentioned this: "It seems that they are scared. I think they are a little depressed. When we moved the cage just now, they didn't make any noise or even stand up. If the Beast Guards hadn't checked them, I would have been a little afraid that they were bitten by the alien rats."

Mu Ling nodded: "But since the Beast Guards have checked them, there must be no problem. It may be because they are not used to the climate. The climate of the Four Bays and the God King is different."

"Maybe." Manager Harry said, "When we get to Monty Zoo tomorrow morning, we'll have to ask the veterinarian there to help us."

It was 3:30 in the morning, and the driver took them to the hotel to catch up on sleep. The exchange meeting would not start until 1:00 p.m., and the morning time was for those who brought animals to move around freely. Those who wanted to go on blind dates could go on blind dates, and those who wanted to discuss cooperation could go on cooperation.

Roumei and Xiaoduo's first blind date was at Monty Zoo, and Manager Harry had already communicated with Monty Zoo.

The two cars arrived at the hotel quickly.

This hotel has been booked by the organizer, the Four Bays Forestry Bureau. In the next few days, the zoo managers from various planets and their animals will live here.

Yes, the animals also have separate rooms to live in, but they cannot leave the cages.

Mu Ling's situation is special. When she registered, she wrote that she brought a war beast, so she and the war beast can live in the same room.

The night shift receptionist was all smiles, and gently handed Mu Ling a room card, saying, "We already know your situation. Our manager saw the trending searches and specifically told us before leaving work that we'll arrange a suite for you so that you and Lingren can live more comfortably."

Manager Chen and Manager Harry, who were staying in a standard room, looked at Mu Ling with envy...

Mu Ling felt a little embarrassed, and kept saying thank you. After the others got their room cards, the group took the elevator up together.

Fass shared a room with a staff member from Fuai Zoo. He first delivered Mu Ling's luggage to Mu Ling's room before leaving. After

the door was closed and Mu Ling checked that the windows were closed, he untied Lingren's iron chain and let him move freely.

As soon as it was free, Lingren jumped onto the bed. It shook its fur and sat on the soft quilt. The white quilt and its white fur almost blended into one. Mu Ling smiled and sat over to it, rubbing its head.

The white fox then lay down, leaning on Mu Ling's thighs with a relaxed body, looking at Mu Ling with a pair of watery purple eyes.

"Oh, our Lingren is so good." Mu Ling lowered her head and kissed Lingren's little face, saying, "Sister will go take a shower first, don't run around, understand?"

Mu Ling got up and went over there to open the suitcase. Lingren immediately jumped down, arched under Mu Ling's arms, rubbed Mu Ling's body with her body, and then sat down in Mu Ling's suitcase.

Mu Ling: "..."

"Lingren, you blocked your sister from getting clothes."

Mu Ling pried open the fox's buttocks and finally pulled out her underwear pocket. She simply held Lingren in her arms, then took out the things she needed one by one, closed the suitcase, and then let it go and went to the bathroom.

As soon as the bathroom door was closed, the white fox became unhappy.

It lay on the ground beside the door, sniffing through the gap until it heard the sound of water inside, then it turned around in place, and then sat down against the door panel, making "humming" sounds from time to time.

Mu Ling finished her bath and just opened the door, she saw the white fox at her feet.

The fox stood up, with its ears folded, and its two front paws came up to scratch Mu Ling.

Mu Ling sighed, bent down to pick it up, rubbed its hair and said: "Why are you like a puppy? Did you learn it from 'Loyalty'?"

The white fox was familiar with the name "Loyalty", and it immediately barked: "Ga!"

as if in response.

Mu Ling went to blow dry her hair again, and when it was dry, she picked up the white fox sleeping beside her and got on the bed.

As soon as Lingren got into the bed, he rushed into Mu Ling's arms. Mu Ling hugged him, kissed the red hair on his forehead, and asked, "What were you doing looking at Roumei and Xiaoduo just now?"

The white fox naturally couldn't answer her. He just rested his head on Mu Ling's arm, with his pointed mouth tucked into Mu Ling's neck.

Seeing this, Mu Ling didn't say anything. He hugged the fox and closed his eyes.

As a result, Mu Ling had just fallen asleep for a while when the white fox in his arms suddenly stood up.

Mu Ling was startled and opened her eyes, and saw that the white fox had jumped off the bed and rushed to the door.

It put its nose against the gap of the door, trying to sniff outside, and then began to scratch the door with its claws!

"Lingren?" Mu Ling called.

The white fox seemed not to have heard anything and continued to dig at the door!

Mu Ling was awakened from her sleepiness. She immediately put on her coat and got up. She first put the iron chain on Ling Ren and then opened the door.

As soon as she walked out of the room, the white fox immediately ran towards the elevator entrance. As soon as she ran over, Mu Ling saw a tool cart parked there that had not been there before.

It was the kind of tool cart that the housekeeping staff used for cleaning. It was probably pushed up by one of the housekeeping staff just now.

The white fox sniffed around the tool cart frantically, then turned around and ran downstairs again.

Mu Ling had to keep up in her slippers and followed the white fox all the way down three floors. Then Ling Ren ran into the corridor and finally stopped outside a room.

Mu Ling took a look at the room number, 1209, which was not the room of Manager Harry or Roumei Xiaoduo.

So it has nothing to do with Roumei and Xiaoduo?

"Lingren, what's wrong with you? Is there a monster in there?"

The white fox was digging at the door, and while digging, it called out to the inside: "Ga!"

"Ga-ga-"

The unpleasant duck voice attacked in the middle of the night.

The huge fox call startled the tenants in the surrounding rooms and they were all woken up.

After a while, people kept opening the door to see what was going on.

When they saw Mu Ling and the white fox in the corridor, everyone had a surprised expression on their faces. Anyone who had seen the hot search last night would recognize them.

Someone asked directly: "Are you Director Mu of the Piccolo Zoo?"

Mu Ling was very embarrassed and said quickly: "Yes, yes, sorry to disturb you. Do you know whose animals live in this room?"

Everyone looked at each other. At this time, a young man said: "This is not the room for animals. This is the room of Director Qiao of the 'Qizhou Zoo' on Bayagao Star."

Bayagao Star is a small planet located in the eastern star field. Because it is too small, there is only one zoo on the entire planet, and it is a very small zoo.

"But Director Qiao has already left." The young man said, "We arrived in the afternoon, and our manager had dinner with Director Qiao in the evening. But halfway through the meal, Director Qiao received a call and suddenly said that something happened at home and he would not attend the exchange meeting, so he left."

Mu Ling frowned slightly. The white fox was still scratching the door, and at the same time, it screamed more excitedly: "Gah! Gah!!!"

Seeing that the door was about to be broken by it, some tenants began to feel uneasy: "Director Mu, what's going on with you guys? There can't be..."

In an instant, everyone tensed up!

Mu Ling just stared at Lingren deeply, the guest room car upstairs, the room here, the exchange meeting members who checked out temporarily...

something flashed through her mind.

Mu Ling asked the young man again: "What time did Director Qiao leave?"

The young man scratched his head, unable to remember the exact time: "It was dinner time..."

"Nine o'clock." On the other side, a female staff member suddenly said: "I was picking someone up in the lobby on the first floor, so I paid attention to the time. I saw Director Qiao leave with her luggage at nine o'clock."

Nine o'clock...

was the time when the actor killed the alien rat and there was an uproar on the Internet.

Mu Ling pursed her lips and said to the people around her, "Can someone please contact the front desk staff for me? I want to open the door of this room."

After a while, the front desk staff came up with the room card. The front desk staff was so scared that his face turned pale. He looked at Mu Ling, then at the white fox, and quickly opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, the fox rushed in. It sniffed here for a long time, but in the end it seemed to find nothing. It barked again, and the sound was more sad than fierce...

Why would the fox bark like this...

Mu Ling's face sank and asked the front desk staff, "Has anyone cleaned this room after checking out?"

The staff nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, someone will come to clean up the room as soon as you check out."

Mu Ling asked: "Is the tool cart for cleaning this room the one parked at the elevator entrance on the 15th floor?"

The front desk staff didn't know, so he quickly used the intercom to call the housekeeping staff on night shift over.

After a while, a housekeeping lady came over. She knew nothing. She said in a daze, "I put the car on the 15th floor. I just put it there. Our job on the night shift is to put the tool carts on each floor in the designated location before dawn so that the morning shift can start working. I don't know which floor the car was on before. They all look the same..."

Mu Ling nodded, and then asked the other guests who were watching quietly at the door, "Excuse me, did Director Qiao bring the animals with him?"

Everyone shook their heads, "No, he came alone, without even any staff."

Mu Ling asked, "Aren't there three staff quotas?"

The young man said, "The small zoo may not have enough people, so not too many people can come."

"Mu, Director Mu..." The front desk clerk at the hotel was almost going crazy. He looked at Mu Ling tremblingly, hoping that Mu Ling would give him a quick answer: "Are there really any exotic beasts here?"

Mu Ling looked at the actors who had gradually calmed down and shook his head: "Probably not."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"But..."

Mu Ling took a deep breath, and everyone's heart rose to their throat again.

"Rebels may have been here."

-

At six in the morning, Director Zhou of the Siwanxing Forestry Bureau received a call from below. He was a little sleepy at first, but when he heard what the other party said, he sat up from the bed and his face changed drastically: "Rebels?"

At seven in the morning, Mu Ling, who couldn't sleep anyway, fed some animal food to Lingren, and then took Lingren, who was not in the mood, to the restaurant for breakfast.

Because the hotel has been booked by the Forestry Bureau, no one said anything about bringing animals to the restaurant. After all, the guests here are all from the zoo, and no one would mind that animals are dirty.

There were not many people in the breakfast room at this time. Anyway, Mu Ling didn't see Manager Chen and Manager Harry. The two didn't go to bed until four o'clock last night, so it was probably still early.

Mu Ling found a corner to sit down. Not long after eating, she saw a group of people coming up the elevator. The one in the lead was over fifty years old with gray hair. They walked to Mu Ling under the guidance of the front desk staff and said, "Hello, Director Mu. I am the director of the Siwanxing Forestry Bureau. My surname is Zhou."

Mu Ling quickly stood up and shook hands with the other party: "Hello, Director Zhou, hello."

Director Zhou glanced at the backpack in Mu Ling's arms. Through the bag opening, he could vaguely see the sleepy white fox inside.

Director Zhou sat down opposite Mu Ling, and the others who came with him sat at another table.

Mu Ling glanced at the others, then at Director Zhou, and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to come so early."

Director Zhou waved his hand and said tiredly, "Such a big thing has happened, it's already too late... You said that Director Qiao of Qizhou Zoo is a rebel, is it true?"

Mu Ling said, "I can't be 100% sure, but the probability is very high. Last night, when we first arrived at the hotel, the actor didn't react at all, but in the middle of the night, after the housekeeping staff put a tool cart on our floor, it suddenly reacted. If there were exotic beasts in the hotel, its reaction would not be so slow, so it was not the exotic beasts that attracted it, but the smell of the tool cart."

"Then it smelled the tool truck and followed the smell of the tool truck to the room on the 12th floor where Director Qiao used to be. After entering the room, it let out a painful and sad cry. Director Zhou, you may not know that before retiring, Lingren served on Xuan Gu Star. Its owner was seriously injured and unconscious because of the rebels. It retired because of the rebels. It has smelled the smell of the rebels!"

Zhou The director frowned: "But isn't it too hasty to suspect that Director Qiao is a rebel just because of this?"

Mu Ling continued: "Director Qiao suddenly withdrew from the exchange meeting when the actors captured the alien on the starship last night. We just captured the alien here, and he immediately said he had something to do and withdrew. Isn't this too coincidental?"

Director Zhou said nothing, but from his expression, he seemed to think that this evidence was not sufficient.

Mu Ling added: "Our Piccolo Zoo is a temporary participant in this exchange meeting. I believe you only found out about it the day before yesterday, right?"

Director Zhou nodded: "Yes, it was your Director Wang who told me personally and asked me to add your names."

Mu Ling said: "So almost no one knew that our Piccolo Zoo would come to the Four Bays in advance, and no one would have thought that we would bring war beasts, and the one we brought happened to be an artist. But yesterday, the artist caught the alien beast on the starship and exposed the itinerary, and then Director Qiao left immediately. His smell also made the artist have a special reaction. So imagine, if he hadn't left, would the artist have discovered him?"

Mu Ling raised her eyebrows here: "And now I suspect that the ship yesterday There may be rebels on the starship."

Director Zhou immediately looked up at Mu Ling: "What do you mean?"

Mu Ling said: "Last night after getting off the ship, Lingren suddenly stared at the two lions in Fuai Zoo repeatedly. I was shocked at the time and thought that the two lions had also changed, but Lingren just stared at them or sniffed them, and didn't do anything too radical. I was not sure what it meant at the time. Later, it suddenly ran to Director Qiao's room in the middle of the night. Then I realized that it reacted to the two lions, maybe not because it smelled the scent of alien beasts on them, but because it smelled the scent of rebels on them? But this rebel was probably not a rebel it was familiar with, so it was not too sure and didn't act rashly..."

"And this Director Qiao, I fully suspect that it is the rebel that the actors are very familiar with! Otherwise, he would not have run away as soon as he knew that the actors were coming, and the actors would not be so excited about his smell. Director Zhou, you want me to give you very specific evidence, but I really don't have it, because animals can't talk. All I can do is to guess what it means through my understanding of the actors. You can choose not to believe me, but it's no small matter to be involved with the rebels. If there really are rebels who have sneaked into the exchange meeting, and even in the starships from the God King Star to the Four Bays Star, there are traces of rebels and alien beasts, then this matter is very likely aimed at your Four Bays Star. I think you should report it immediately and ask the military to launch an investigation. "

Director Zhou looked at Mu Ling deeply, and after a while, he nodded, stood up and stretched out his hand to Mu Ling: "Thank you, Director Mu."

Mu Ling hurriedly shook hands with Director Zhou.

Director Zhou said again: "I will report it immediately, but I may need to trouble you later."

Mu Ling was the one who proposed the theory of rebels, so the troops stationed in the Four Bays Star will definitely find her to verify it again.

Mu Ling nodded: "Of course."

After Director Zhou and others left, Mu Ling continued to eat until almost ten o'clock in the morning, when Manager Harry knocked on Mu Ling's door and asked Mu Ling if she wanted to go to Monty Zoo to watch Rou Mei and Xiao Duo's blind date.

Mu Ling thought that her own animals would have a blind date with other zoos sooner or later, so she just went to learn the process and agreed immediately.

Manager Chen did not go, as he had to chat with acquaintances from other zoos in the morning.

Mu Ling brought Fas along, thinking that he could help Manager Harry push the cages, but in reality, they were not needed. In addition to Manager Harry, there were six other people at Fuai Zoo this time. Except for three places, the others were paid by the zoo. Fuai didn't care about the money. The main thing was to ensure the safety of Roumei and Xiaoduo.

The driver from Monty Zoo came to pick them up. He drove the same big truck as last night, but when loading the truck, Mu Ling took a special look and found that Roumei and Xiaoduo still looked listless and had no energy.

Mu Ling looked at Lingren again, but saw that Lingren was still looking at the two lions. Although his eyes were sharp, he still didn't rush up.

Monty Zoo is a special zoo with a long history in Siwan Star, covering an area of ​​about 2,000 acres.

One-third of this zoo is caged animals, one-third is wild animals, and the remaining one-third is amusement facilities.

Mu Ling sat in the car, and the envy on her face never disappeared since she saw the gate of Monty Zoo.

Manager Harry looked at her and wanted to laugh: "Our Fuai is about the same size as Monty. When you return to Shenwang Star, you are welcome to visit our Fuai."

Mu Ling hurriedly said: "Of course!"

The car finally drove into the back door of Monty Zoo. There were too many tourists at the front door, and the truck certainly couldn't go through the front door.

Not long after entering from the back door, the car twisted and turned and arrived near the lion park. After the car stopped, the operation manager of Monty Zoo came to greet Manager Harry in person outside.

"Oh, Manager Harry, long time no see."

Manager Harry politely shook hands with the other party: "Manager Ge, long time no see."

At this time, Mu Ling came down from behind. When Manager Ge saw Mu Ling, he was immediately surprised: "Isn't this, isn't this... Director Mu of Piccolo Zoo?"

Manager Harry was instantly dissatisfied, and Manager Ge hurried forward to shake hands with Mu Ling.

Mu Ling's face was full of smiles: "Hello, hello."

Manager Ge said admiringly: "We have all seen the hot searches last night. Oh, this is Lingren, so beautiful, so beautiful, and so powerful! Are you bringing Lingren for a blind date too? Don't worry, we also have red-hearted foxes in our fox garden. Although their level and talent are not as high as yours, and they are not war beasts, they are of very good appearance and are particularly brave little princes. You Lingren will definitely like them!"

Mu Ling: "..."

Lingren still only has dogs in his heart, not foxes. Mu Ling quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Manager Ge, for your kindness. But Lingren is also a little prince."

Manager Ge: "..."

Manager Ge readily agreed: "Hahaha, no problem, no problem, we have many female vixens of other species, since they are all here, we must meet them, let the child develop on his own, what if he likes him, as a parent you can't always punish him!"

Manager Ge looked like a very social person, he was like, the food is already in front of my mouth, I will also keep Lingren's S-level gene today, and he fooled Mu Ling, wishing he could kidnap Lingren to the female vixen group right now and let them have eight babies in one litter!

Manager Harry rushed to Mu Ling's rescue: "The actor's damage value is 83%."

Manager Ge: "..."

Manager Ge's whole body froze. He subtly looked at the distance between himself and Mu Ling, cautiously took two steps back, and smiled awkwardly: "Amazing, really amazing, you can catch the monster with 83% damage value... It's amazing..."

Manager Harry patted Manager Ge on the shoulder: "Okay, let's go to see our Roumei and Xiaoduo first."

Manager Harry forced Manager Ge to go see the lion.

Mu Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief. She bent down and kissed the white fox's forehead, whispering: "It's mainly because our actors are so good-looking. Who wouldn't be confused after seeing them? Manager Ge is also confused."

The white fox didn't know what Mu Ling was talking about. It just tilted its head back and nudged Mu Ling's nose affectionately with the tip of its nose.

Mu Ling smiled and kissed it again.

At this time, Manager Ge's subordinate received a call and suddenly came over and said: "Manager Ge, Nurse Wang at the veterinary station said that we should contact the owner of 'Jixiang' as soon as possible. Jixiang may..."

Manager Ge's expression changed and looked at the subordinate: "Isn't Jixiang out of danger?"

The subordinate shook his head: "Nurse Wang said that the damage value increased again this morning. It is estimated that it will be in the next two days..."

Manager Harry heard Yan asked, "Manager Ge, what's wrong?"

Manager Ge shook his head, called the person in charge of the Lion Park, and said, "Harry, I have something to hurry up for. I'll let our Manager Li be in charge of Roumei and Xiaoduo's blind date. What do you think..."

Manager Harry waved his hands quickly, "You go about your business. We are not outsiders anymore. Don't delay you."

Manager Ge thanked him repeatedly, nodded to Mu Ling, and quickly left with his subordinates.

After they walked away, Manager Harry asked Manager Li, "Who is Jixiang?"

Manager Li smiled bitterly and said, "A leopard, a retired A-level war beast. It has been with us for a year and a half. Recently, its condition has been a bit bad..."

Manager Li looked at the two female lions in the cage and frowned, "Manager Harry, did this lion vomit?"

Manager Harry looked immediately and saw that there was indeed white vomit in the cage, and one of the female lions also had white vomit residue around its mouth.

His face changed drastically, "Xiaoduo!"
