Chapter 57

The iron cage prevented the leopard from attacking the aliens inside.

The alien rabbits were screaming wildly inside, so the leopard had to stretch its claws in to dig, but its claws were too big, and the pads of flesh got stuck just halfway in. The leopard

was a little angry, and it sniffed hard inside and roared again: "Roar! Roar!!"

Mu Ling took the opportunity to say to the soldier who was pulling the rope: "Please pull the cage with you."

Although the soldier didn't understand why, he still dragged the cage to the side.

As soon as the cage moved, the leopard pressed it again, making the cage unable to move.

Mu Ling said, "Use force, drag the cage to lure Jixiang, and let Jixiang walk a few more steps."

The soldier did as he was told, pulling out the cage with force, dragging the exotic beast to a place five steps away from the leopard.

The leopard hurried to catch up.

But just as it caught up, the cage moved away again.

It had no choice but to continue chasing.

After repeating this for two or three times, the leopard's ferocious appearance made everyone present feel uncomfortable, especially Lieutenant General Mark. Lieutenant General Mark's face was already dark. He asked Mu Ling in a cold voice: "Why do you do this?"

Mu Ling's eyes were always fixed on the leopard. He said in a serious tone: "It is now relying on brute force and explosive power to stand up. If it succeeds in catching the alien beast, it will immediately relax. The short-term extreme joy and sorrow will cause great damage to its nerves, just like people are prone to sudden death after extreme joy and sorrow. So I'm extending its concentration, using the fact that it can't catch the alien beast to cultivate its positive mentality, letting it develop a mentality of 'I absolutely cannot die, if I die this guy will run away'...

and driven by this positive mentality, its will to survive will be strengthened, and when it can't care about negative depression, its damage value will not increase so quickly, thus achieving the effect of temporarily stabilizing its damage value. "

Mu Ling spoke very logically, but Lieutenant General Mark didn't know if what she said was true. He frowned and looked at the other white coats over there.

Doctor John thought for a moment, and nodded heavily: "In theory...it can be like this..."

But it's just a theory. If it's not handled properly, if Jixiang is too stimulated, it may die on the spot!

Doctor John only now understood what Mu Ling meant by "I have a way to try, but maybe it will die faster after trying it."

This is a risky move.

But at the critical moment of life and death, hope and risk coexist...

With Mu Ling's explanation, the others no longer had any objections. Even the soldier holding the cage suddenly felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he ran faster.

After all, the physical fitness could not keep up. After chasing the alien for five minutes, the leopard finally couldn't catch up.

Its two hind legs slowly stopped, and it sat on the ground tiredly. After a while, its upper body could not hold up anymore, so it lay down and began to breathe heavily.

Mu Ling hurriedly said, "Oxygen machine!"

In an instant, everyone started moving. Some went to the intensive care unit to push the oxygen machine out, some found a socket to plug the oxygen machine back in, and some reset the data of the oxygen machine.

Mu Ling picked up the oxygen mask on the ground, tugged at the protective suit on his body, walked over, and squatted next to the leopard.

The leopard was too tired, and it gradually had difficulty breathing, but its eyes were still staring at the iron cage a few steps away from it.

At this time, Dr. John shouted, "Okay!"

Mu Ling hurriedly pressed the back of the leopard's head with one hand and blocked its mouth with the oxygen mask with the other hand.

The leopard subconsciously wanted to struggle, but a steady stream of fresh oxygen suddenly came over, and it immediately absorbed the oxygen greedily!

Mu Ling felt that the leopard did not resist, so she let go of the hand that was holding the back of its head. She sat cross-legged on the ground so that the leopard's body could lean on her. She held the oxygen mask for it and gently stroked its hair, coaxing it in a low voice: "Good boy, it's okay, it can't run away. Let's take a break and then catch it."

It was really tiring to support the body. The leopard gradually leaned its weight on the human beside it. The leopard felt very comfortable when its head was stroked, and its eyes half-closed.

Animals like to have their hair touched, because when they were young, their mothers licked their hair like this, so stroking their hair will make them feel like they are still being taken care of by their mothers.

The same example is the hair on the back of the neck. Many animals will behave themselves if their hair on the back of the neck is pulled, because when they were young, their mothers would hold their hair on the back of the neck. So when this place is pulled, they will think that it is their mother who is holding it.

Of course, this situation does not apply to the mother and child.

Mu Ling asked Manager Ge again: "Manager Ge, do you have a tranquilizer gun here? A pistol will do."

Manager Ge hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, I'll ask someone to get it."

The subordinate who followed Manager Ge immediately ran out.

The subordinate came back ten minutes later and brought back a tranquilizer pistol.

Mu Ling nodded, and she looked at the leopard in her arms again. After breathing oxygen for ten minutes, the leopard felt that it was fine again. It staggered to its feet and wanted to rush at the alien beast again.

Mu Ling said at this time: "Please kick the cage over."

The soldier holding the cage immediately kicked the cage over.

Seeing this, the leopard pounced fiercely, and this time it finally pounced into the cage!

But the same situation happened again. It couldn't bite the alien beast inside through the cage.

Lieutenant General Mark frowned, thinking, why not let the alien beast out and let this critically ill war beast bite it to death!

But at this time...

"Bang!" A sudden gunshot rang out.

The whole place was silent for a moment.

When everyone looked again, they saw that it was Mu Ling who fired the gun. She stuck the muzzle

of the gun into the cage and anesthetized the alien rabbit with one shot! The ferocious alien rabbit stopped howling, and the leopard clinging to the cage also froze for a moment.

Other people in the veterinary station did not dare to speak for a while.

Everyone was silent.

Until Mu Ling returned the gun to Manager Ge's subordinate and said "thank you", then she touched Jixiang's head and praised: "Jixiang is awesome. If Jixiang hadn't held the alien beast down, sister wouldn't have been able to hit it."

The stunned war beast seemed to have only now realized what had happened.

This kind of thing would also happen during normal duty. The warbeast discovered the alien beast, but before it could attack the alien beast, the owner shot it from behind, thus avoiding a fight between the animals, and mainly avoiding the possibility of the warbeast being bitten by the alien beast.

The leopard seemed to realize something... It finally stopped pressing the cage stubbornly, put down its thick paws, lowered its head and sniffed the alien rabbit in the cage.

After making sure that the alien rabbit would not move, it turned its head again and looked at Mu Ling in confusion.

Mu Ling rubbed the leopard's head again and continued to praise: "Jixiang is amazing, Jixiang is awesome, I'll give Jixiang a snack when I get back, chicken legs, okay!"

The leopard tilted its head in confusion, and its round ears trembled.

In addition to understanding instructions, the war beasts can also understand the words that their owners often use to praise them, such as "awesome" and "awesome". Of course, the owner's tone is also very important. A gentle tone can make animals feel kind.

The leopard seemed to finally understand that it was being praised because it caught the alien beast... It immediately took a step closer to Mu Ling, breathing out hot air.

Mu Ling asked again: "Is there any water? Nutrient water is best."

"Yes, yes, yes!" The scene was instantly in chaos, and everyone helped to find water.

When the water bowl was placed in front of the leopard, the leopard immediately gulped down most of the water. After finishing the water, it licked its nose again, and then sat down. It sat next to Mu Ling.

Mu Ling continued to stroke the leopard's head and said nice things for free. When she felt that the leopard's emotional value had been fully stretched, she said to Dr. John: "You see..."

Dr. John's expression was a little complicated. Jixiang's appearance was no different from before on the hospital bed, but its inside had undergone a huge change in just half an hour.

From the look in his eyes, it can be seen that he was dead before, but now he is alive. As long as he is willing to keep this vitality, with medication and diet, his condition will be improved in less than a month!

Jixiang is not suffering from external injuries, nor is it organ failure. It is not a physical problem that causes its serious illness, but a psychological problem.

And now, its psychology is in a stage of temporary improvement.

Dr. John looked again at the young director who was looking up at him at this time, and after a moment of silence, he said: "Can you please send it back to the ward? It seems more willing to approach you now."

Mu Ling stood up and called out: "Jixiang, let's go in."

The leopard was lying on the ground at first, and it didn't move until it saw Mu Ling take a step. Then it slowly stood up and followed her.

It walked very slowly and was a little shaky, so Mu Ling gently supported it and took it back to the intensive care unit. Then Mu Ling was about to leave, but as soon as she went out, the leopard followed her out.

Nurse Wang, who was about to reconnect the leopard to the wires for testing, said: "?"

Nurse Wang watched the leopard leave again. Just as she was about to speak, Director Mu came in again, and then the leopard came in.

"Jixiang, you just sit here." Mu Ling said, and left again.

The leopard didn't sit down at all, and followed him out.

After going back and forth like this three or four times, Mu Ling looked at Nurse Wang in the room, then looked at the others outside the room, and fell silent.

Manager Ge wiped his face and said awkwardly: "Jixiang seems to like Director Mu very much. Director Mu, if the animals in your park usually act like this with people, how do you stop them?"

Mu Ling: "..."

Mu Ling pointed bitterly at the white fox that was sleeping soundly in the backpack on the corner seat, and said: "If I could stop it, I wouldn't carry a fox on my business trip."

Manager Ge: "..."

Others: "..."

Mu Ling was particularly embarrassed: "And usually, if they are particularly attached to me, I might sleep with them at night. We have a bed in the animal dormitory and veterinary station..."

Everyone: "..."

It seemed that they suddenly understood why Director Mu had such a good relationship with the war beasts...

Direct assimilation, right?

They were still trying to figure out how to get Jixiang to sit down and receive treatment. Outside the veterinary station, Lieutenant General Mark had already asked his subordinates to take the alien back.

Lieutenant General Mark was actually in a very complicated mood at the moment. He looked at the situation in the intensive care unit from a distance, thought about it, and turned to ask Director Zhou: "Do you think that the method that Director Mu just used is applicable to other war beasts?"

Countless war beasts are on the line between life and death every day. Every zoo, every nursing center, and even every owner who adopts their own war beasts are worried about the retired war beasts' increasingly poor health and increasingly strange temperaments.

If the method of using aliens to stimulate the war beasts' desire to survive really works, does it mean that most retired war beasts can be saved?

Director Zhou couldn't say for sure. He said, "But the Federation has tried it before. They let retired war beasts maintain the same amount of training as when they were in service, and didn't treat them differently. They even took them to perform simple tasks, but their condition didn't improve significantly."

Lieutenant General Mark thought for a while and said, "Maybe it will be useful in life-and-death situations? By the way, wasn't that leopard unconscious just now? I saw that its eyes couldn't focus. Maybe it was confused and easy to be deceived. It's not easy to be deceived when it's rational."

Director Zhou shook his head and said, "Let's report it first. Let the people at the War Beast Center study the details. If you have to ask, let the people at the War Beast Center ask Director Mu. We are not professionals. Don't guess blindly."

The Forestry Bureau is in charge of ordinary animals, and Lieutenant General Mark is not from the Beast Guard. They are both half-baked.

Lieutenant General Mark had no choice but to nod, and then he looked inside again, planning to wait for Mu Ling to finish dealing with Jixiang before looking for her to verify the matter of the rebels.

-

At 12:30 noon, a large group of people finally managed to get Jixiang back on the bed.

At this time, Dr. Julie, who was not on duty today, finally arrived.

Dr. Julie came because she heard that Jixiang was dying, but when she came back, Jixiang was fine again?

Dr. Julie didn't know what happened, so the young nurse whispered everything in her ear.

Dr. Julie was very surprised after hearing this, and she looked at the small pavilion outside the veterinary station. At this time, an officer in military uniform and a young girl with a backpack were talking in the pavilion.

"Julie, you're here." Doctor John came out at this time. He took off his gloves and said apologetically, "Thank you for making a special trip."

Doctor Julie hurriedly said, "It's okay. Is Jixiang in there? I'll go in and take a look."

Doctor Julie went into the intensive care unit, while Doctor John went to the equipment room and took out the rejection reports of Roumei and Xiaoduo.

But after reading the reports, Doctor John was stunned for a moment, and then he quickly walked into another small ward.

In that small ward, everyone from Fuai Zoo stayed inside. When seeing Doctor John come in, Manager Harry hurriedly looked outside to see if the exotic beast had left. But

Doctor John didn't care about that. He went straight to the two lions and carefully observed their conditions.

"Doctor John?" Manager Harry was frightened by Doctor John's expression, and his face turned pale: "Are Roumei and Xiaoduo okay?"

Doctor John frowned and said seriously: "What they ate was not ordinary food. The rejection report shows that there is some foreign substance that is reacting with the virus antibodies in their bodies."

"Viral antibodies?" Manager Harry didn't quite understand. Doctor

John explained: "To put it simply, after the vaccine is injected, the animal's body will produce virus antibodies. Antibodies mean that if a virus enters the body, the antibodies will kill the virus and protect the animal. But now, there is a foreign substance that is challenging their virus antibodies. Antibodies cannot kill this substance. This substance is destroying the animal's immune system!"

"What should we do?" Manager Harry was anxious: "What is this substance?"

Doctor John shook his head: "The test results did not find a matching substance, and it needs to be analyzed in detail. Anyway, this is either a wild material that has not been discovered yet, or a chemically synthesized substance specially used to overcome the virus vaccine."

Manager Harry was a little confused, but Doctor John said: "No, this matter must be reported to the Veterinary Association immediately." As he said this,

he was about to go out, but when he turned around, he saw Lieutenant General Mark, Director Zhou, and Director Mu standing at the door of the ward.

Lieutenant General Mark and Director Zhou looked very unhappy. Lieutenant General Mark asked Doctor John: "Please say it again what you just said."

Doctor John pursed his lips, repeated his findings, and showed them the report.

Lieutenant General Mark and Director Zhou also couldn't understand it, but Mu Ling took it and after reading it for a while, she said to Lieutenant General Mark seriously: "You have also seen it, it is indeed not a coincidence. As I said just now, I have reasonable suspicion that there are rebels participating in the exchange meeting. I also have reasonable suspicion that there are rebels on the starship. Now this report can already explain the seriousness of the problem. The rebels are developing a way to conquer the virus vaccine. If they succeed, I can't imagine how many normal animals will become monsters without the protection of vaccines."

Mu Ling exhaled: "By then, they won't have to raise monsters themselves, there will be monsters everywhere." Lieutenant

General Mark said to Doctor John with a dark face: "Please come out with me."

Several people went outside, but Mu Ling didn't go out. She walked in front of the two lions, pursed her lips, and observed them.

The other people in the ward were already scared. What did they just hear? Manager Harry looked at Mu Ling: "Director Mu, you just said, rebels?"

Mu Ling didn't answer.

Fass didn't understand: "But why? Why do the rebels want to break the virus vaccine? If the virus vaccine fails, the animals will turn into monsters, the world will be in chaos, and they will be attacked too."

Manager Harry shook his head: "Their goal is not to turn all animals into monsters, they want to master this weapon and use it to negotiate with the government. If the government disagrees, they will just find a planet and create a chaos. There will be chaos, and the government will have no choice but to compromise."

Manager Harry said, looking at his two lions with heartache: "Why did it happen to us? Who did we offend? Meat girl Xiaoduo is so pitiful!"

The two lions in the cage lay listlessly. Mu Ling reached in through the gap in the railing and gently touched the fur on its back. The two lions felt it, but they were too lazy to resist.

Yes, why did it happen to them?

Why did the rebels choose the starship from God King Star to Four Bays?

There were many zoos from many other planets coming to the exchange meeting on the Four Bays. The three zoos on the God King Planet were only three of them. Why did the rebels come from the God King Planet instead of the Four Bays from other planets?

Do they have a base on the God King Planet?

Mu Ling suddenly thought of the alien beasts in the Beak Jungle before.

Major Chang also said at the time that moderately infected alien beasts were not common...

Mu Ling thought of many things in her mind in an instant. Manager Harry wondered why such a bad thing happened to his meat sister and Xiaoduo. Mu Ling was also wondering why such a bad thing happened to the God King Planet and her Beak Jungle!

Mu Ling stood up suddenly and walked outside, but at this moment, the optical computer on her wrist suddenly rang.

Mu Ling looked at the caller ID, it was Manager Chen's name.

She answered the call.

Manager Chen's voice came from the other end: "Why haven't you come back yet? The exchange meeting has already started."

Mu Ling was stunned for a moment, then looked at the clock on the wall. Sure enough, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

She said to Manager Harry: "Manager Harry, Manager Chen asked when we will be back?"

Manager Harry didn't have the heart to care about the exchange meeting. He waved his hand: "I can't go back now. I won't attend today."

Mu Ling then conveyed this to Manager Chen.

Manager Chen was puzzled: "What's wrong with you?"

Mu Ling sighed: "Let's talk about it when we get back. It's hard to explain in the communication."

After hanging up the communication, Mu Ling went outside.

Outside, Lieutenant General Mark was asking Dr. John to help him write a material analysis report, which was to analyze what ingredients were in the material that defeated the virus antibody, so that he could submit these data together when he reported it.

Dr. John didn't know what the ingredients were, and he had to analyze it now. While he was analyzing, Mu Ling was watching beside him. After a while, she suddenly felt something in her heart.

Looking down, it was Lingren who woke up.

The snow-white fox was still a little confused at this time. It had a pair of beautiful purple beast eyes and its nose was twitching. As soon as it woke up, it sniffed around frantically.

An alien beast had just come here. Although the alien beast had been taken back by the military after the end, the residual smell was still there.

Mu Ling rubbed Ling Ren's forehead and coaxed him, "It's okay, it's okay."

Ling Ren was still sniffing until a few minutes later, probably because he was really sure that there were no strange beasts nearby. The white fox calmed down, raised its head again, and touched Mu Ling's chin with its wet black nose.

Mu Ling chuckled, kissed its forehead skillfully, and said, "I'm sorry, sister shouldn't have given you a sleep aid. I won't give you one next time."

While Dr. John was doing the analysis, he caught a glimpse of the interaction between Mu Ling and the white fox. He choked at first, and then thought of the situation where Jixiang followed her closely and couldn't be stopped. Dr. John immediately began to observe carefully!

No matter how outrageous it is, learn as soon as you can!

After the rough analysis results came out and the report was written, Lieutenant General Mark took the report and left, but before leaving, Mu Ling called him again: "Lieutenant General Mark."

Lieutenant General Mark stopped and looked at Mu Ling.

Mu Ling stepped forward and said a few words to him.

After hearing this, Lieutenant General Mark was stunned at first, and then nodded seriously: "I understand, thank you for your help." After getting on the military car, Lieutenant General Mark even called the Federal Military District Headquarters without waiting for the car to start. Coincidentally, the headquarters was also holding a meeting. The other party said: "Lieutenant Luo, who is in charge of the alien rat incident on the starship, is making a report. You can go directly to the conference room." Lieutenant General

Mark entered a holographic conference room. As soon as he entered, he heard Lieutenant Luo said, "All seven groups of personnel have been dispersed, and no suspicious persons have been found so far."

The leader who was listening to the meeting frowned, "No suspicious person at all? Have you checked all the passengers and starship crew members?"

Lieutenant Luo was a little embarrassed, "The starship made seven stops from Shenwang Star to Siwan Star. The passengers who boarded and disembarked at each stop, as well as the ground crew at each stop, were also checked. So far, there is indeed no..."

"Sorry, I want to interrupt." Lieutenant General Mark suddenly spoke at this time.

People in the conference room didn't know what Lieutenant General Mark was going to report, and suddenly, everyone looked at Lieutenant General Mark's video window.

The leader sitting in the first seat nodded: "You tell me."

Lieutenant General Mark pursed his lips and looked at Lieutenant Luo: "Actually, I didn't mean to say it, someone asked me to tell Lieutenant Luo a message."

Lieutenant Luo was stunned.

Lieutenant General Mark said: "It was Director Mu of the Beak Zoo. She said that there was a person on that starship. You must not forget to check it out."

Lieutenant Luo frowned: "Who?"

"The person who was bitten by the alien rat in the toilet."

Lieutenant General Mark said: "People will subconsciously be more tolerant of the victim. Director Mu meant that everyone on the starship is a suspect, so the victim is no exception... Sometimes the self-torture trick is also very useful."
