Chapter 59
The sudden show of goodwill by the red fox made Mu Ling sweat profusely.
Although there were laughters all around, she could clearly hear a kind of suppressed angry roar echoing in her ears.
Mu Ling looked at the white fox beside her cautiously, and saw that the white fox was silently looking cold with its beastly eyes. The fur above its mouth wrinkled eerily, and the sharp white teeth in its mouth were faintly visible.
It was looking at the red fox, looking at the back of the red fox's neck.
Biting through there would kill an animal.
Mu Ling was startled, and quickly stood up, grabbed the red fox out of the backpack, and stuffed it back to the female manager.
The female manager passively held her daughter in her arms and glanced at Mu Ling again.
Mu Ling felt extremely guilty and whispered, "Excuse me, you guys hurry up, the actors might eat people!"
The female manager looked at the white fox on the ground, which was already in an attacking posture, with fear and shock. She didn't care about anything else and was about to run with the red fox. Before running, she grabbed Mu Ling again.
Mu Ling actually just realized that the female manager was a little hostile to her. People in the same industry look down on each other. At this kind of industry exchange meeting, you will more or less meet one or two people who don't like you.
Mu Ling thought the female manager was going to blame her for bringing such a powerful beast to the venue. She was ready to have a falling out with her, but she heard her ask, "Are you really sharing this trick?"
Mu Ling: "..."
The female manager swallowed her saliva and said, "Do you have any conditions when you share it? We are going to Rainbow Castle Zoo tomorrow instead of Changshan Zoo, and we are not in a group with you guys. Can you listen too?"
Mu Ling: "..."
Mu Ling suddenly felt a little amused, she said: "I do have something to share, but not this, I am sharing the experience of raising war beasts, if you want to listen, I will notify you in the group then."
The female person in charge was relieved, and seeing that the white fox was about to break the defense, she quickly turned around and ran away. This time, no matter how the red fox struggled, she would hold it tightly.
Wildflower ran away, and Mu Ling immediately pretended that she knew nothing, squatted down innocently, and waved to the opposite flower: "Lingren, come, sister will hold you."
The white fox was still staring at the direction where the female person in charge left, and then it turned its eyes and looked at Mu Ling solemnly, without going over.
Mu Ling smiled apologetically and explained in a low voice: "Don't be like that, it jumped up by itself..."
"I just couldn't control myself for a moment, and I only held it for a while..."
"Of course I only have you in my heart, and I was just playing with it..."
"I just made the same mistake that all keepers would make, please give me another chance..."
Others around: "..."
Everyone looked at each other and couldn't help pointing fingers. How could Director Mu be so skilled in these scumbag's words!
She wouldn't be a playboy!
In the end, under Mu Ling's persistent coaxing, Lingren still walked towards her hesitantly again.
Mu Ling immediately picked up Lingren and stuffed him back into the backpack, but Lingren suddenly began to struggle, and then bit the backpack fiercely, as if he wanted to tear it apart.
Mu Ling had no choice but to grab it out again, hand the backpack to Fas, hold it with bare hands, and sigh: "...You are quite a germophobe."
At this time, dinner started, and the waiter began to serve the dishes.
Dinner was a buffet, and it was inconvenient for Mu Ling to hold the white fox, so she asked Fas to pack some for her, and she took it and sat on the sofa next to her to eat.
When eating, of course, you have to chat. Mu Ling can chat with everyone. After the meal, she added many people's private communication numbers. Later, she simply created a group to save trouble and became the group owner, and pulled all the new friends into it.
Manager Harry was very pleased to see Mu Ling was so comfortable, but his good mood disappeared when he thought of Roumei and Xiaoduo. So after dinner, Manager Harry told Manager Chen and Mu Ling that he would not go to Changshan Zoo with them tomorrow, and he would go to Monty Zoo with another group of people.
Manager Chen and Mu Ling also understood, and after the three of them separated, they went back to their rooms.
After Mu Ling returned to the room, she put the actor down and let it run by itself. Then she called Fass and asked him to help buy a new backpack near the hotel, as this bag was completely unusable.
After hanging up the call, Mu Ling looked at the white fox that jumped onto the bed and occupied the entire bed. She laughed and opened her suitcase. She
took out a box of medicine wrapped in calcium tablets from the compartment of the suitcase, picked out two pills, went to the counter to get some water, and mixed them to eat.
After taking the medicine, she stuffed the box back into the compartment, then took some clothes to change and went into the bathroom.
Mu Ling was studying pharmaceutical research. In their country, children from poor families rarely studied medicine because the cost of studying medicine was high and it was difficult to support themselves. However, no matter how difficult it was, she would study medicine even if she had to work part-time, and even specialize in pharmaceutical research.
Why study pharmaceutical research instead of clinical practice?
Because only making medicine for yourself is the safest way to protect yourself...
Actually, taking over the zoo is also quite risky, but maybe researchers are just curious. The more risky it is, the more they want to do it. She also wants to explore the secrets of her body...
-At
eight o'clock the next morning, according to the agreed time, a total of more than 20 people in charge and their subordinates were waiting in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel.
After a while, the bus from Changshan Zoo arrived.
Mu Ling found that there were quite a few responsible persons traveling with animals today. She was just wondering, so Manager Chen explained to her, "Most of them are going back to their mother's home. Changshan Zoo is the wild zoo with the most animal species in the Four Bays. The animals in many zoos on surrounding planets, including the Four Bays, are all from Changshan Zoo. For example, the pair of gray-winged sparrows that Director Jim brought were born to 'Abao', the most famous gray-winged sparrow in Changshan Zoo. This time we have the opportunity to take them to meet their mother."
Manager Chen introduced, "The same goes for the spike-tailed turtle over there, and the two little lynxes..."
Mu Ling looked all the way down, nodded repeatedly, and asked, "How many animal species are there in Changshan Zoo?"
Mu Ling remembered that when the Beak Zoo was at its most glorious, there were nearly a thousand animal species!
Manager Chen said, "More than 2,300 species."
Mu Ling: "!!!"
They are really amazing! It is worthy of being a large and old zoo!
Thinking of this, Mu Ling became even more curious about Changshan Zoo.
"Speaking of this..." Chen Jingli thought of something and said, "When your Piccolo Zoo closed down, many animals were taken in by Changshan Zoo, including the two war beasts. Do you want to go and have a look?"
Mu Ling was stunned, and she suddenly thought of the information she had read before.
Piccolo Zoo occupies a large area, and the war beasts like to live away from people. Therefore, when the zoo closed, most of the war beasts were left in the park because they were difficult to capture, and were continued to be cared for by the staff who guarded the zoo.
But there were also three war beasts that were captured and then transferred to other zoos.
An A-level blue ram, an S-level purple electric baboon, and a B-level red calf monkey.
Mu Ling didn't notice where they were sent at the time, but now after hearing what Manager Chen said, she realized that two of them were sent to Changshan Zoo.
Mu Ling asked, "Do you know which two they were?"
Manager Chen recalled, "I remember they were two monkeys, and they were on the news at the time."
They were the purple electric baboon and the red calf monkey.
Mu Ling became interested: "Can I really see them today? They are going back to their parents' home, and I am a visitor from my parents' home, can I also see them?"
Manager Chen smiled and said: "Of course you can see them. Director Tian is a very nice person. But I guess it will be difficult to see them. After all, the war beasts will definitely not be on our tour route. I will ask Director Tian for you when the time comes."
As they were talking here, a person in charge in the front seat suddenly turned around and said: "You don't know yet, one of the two monkeys has already run away."
Mu Ling was stunned, and Manager Chen was also stunned: "Run away?"
"Yes, it was in the news before. It said that a thief dug up the western protective net of Changshan Zoo, and then a purple electric baboon ran out. Although the thief was caught, the war baboon could not be found. It was a big deal at the time. Director Tian personally apologized. The government of the four bays also called on the people not to secretly take in the war baboon. The military was also alarmed and is still looking for it now."
Mu Ling's brows were completely wrinkled, and she hurriedly searched on her computer.
Sure enough, she found this news, which happened at the beginning of last month.
Mu Ling looked at the news carefully and searched many related terms... So, all the way, she was reading about the purple electric baboon and didn't bother to talk to others.
An hour and a half later, they arrived at Changshan Zoo. Director Tian was already waiting for them at the gate. The old man asked with a smile: "Do you want to take a rest first, or go directly into the zoo?"
Everyone was not an outsider, so they said happily: "Let's go directly in. Hey, do the two gray-winged sparrows know this place? They are jumping around so happily."
Everyone looked and saw the two birds in the cage jumping up and down, as if they knew their home.
Director Tian smiled and said: "Let's go, the shuttle is over there."
Mu Ling did not follow the crowd to the shuttle. She went to find Director Tian and asked if she could see the remaining B-level red macaque.
"You mean Lieyan?" Director Tian was a little embarrassed: "Lieyan may not be easy to see."
Mu Ling knew that the war beast liked to hide from people, so she said quickly: "Just watch it from a distance."
Director Tian shook his head: "The main reason is that it is very sensitive now. Let me ask the keeper who takes care of Lieyan to come over. You can ask him about Lieyan and ask him if you can see him. He will make the details."
Mu Ling smiled and said quickly: "Thank you."
Director Tian said helplessly: "Actually, you should have told me earlier As I said, we counted yesterday how many animals were going back to their mother's homes today, and asked someone to make arrangements in advance last night to ensure that they could see the animals today. You told me this at the last minute, and I really can't guarantee it..."
Mu Ling hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, it's my problem, you don't have to be embarrassed, if you can see them, then see them, and if you can't, there's no need to force it. The main thing is that I just found out about 'Fei Fan' today, so I'm more concerned about 'Lie Yan's' current situation."
Fei Fan is the "Purple Lightning Baboon".
Director Tian nodded. When he mentioned the purple electric baboon, his expression was not very good: "After all, it was transferred from your Bic Zoo. Then I will ask Feifan, the keeper, to come over. You can also ask him if you have any questions."
Mu Ling expressed her gratitude again: "Thank you, thank you!"
There were three shuttle buses in total. There were more than fifty people in total, including the person in charge and their subordinates.
Mu Ling sat in the last one. Because the entire park was a large plain, after entering the natural area, Mu Ling could see many animals at a glance. There
were really many. Mu Ling felt that she had seen hundreds of animals in less than 20 minutes, which was more than what she saw in their Bic Zoo in a whole day.
Because some animals would come to the road to beg for food, the car drove very slowly. After a while, Mu Ling saw a group of giraffes licking the window next to her.
The white fox in her arms immediately stood up and sniffed the window curiously.
"Director Mu, can you feed them?" Another person in charge handed over a basket filled with vegetable leaves and carrot chunks. They were bought at the door before they set out, and they were specially used to feed herbivorous animals.
A basket costs one thousand interstellar coins.
The fruits and vegetables fed in Bick Zoo are all free, but those in Changshan Zoo must be purchased.
Because it was bought by someone else, Mu Ling was embarrassed to take more, so she took two leaves, then opened the window a little and passed the leaves out.
The giraffe rolled up its tongue and ate it. The little giraffe next to it saw that there was food here, and immediately squeezed its head over, and its pointed and long face went straight into the gap, licking Mu Ling's palm with its tongue.
Mu Ling thought it was cute, so she touched it twice, and the white fox in her arms suddenly cried "Ga".
Mu Ling was so scared that she shrank her hand, and hurriedly touched the actor, saying cunningly: "No, no, I didn't touch other animals."
The people around laughed when they heard this, and joked: "Director Mu, your actor is looking at you so closely now."
Mu Ling was also embarrassed. She pinched the actor's ear and complained: "Look at you, how embarrassed I am now."
The actor didn't give Mu Ling face, she had a criminal record!
Seeing that there was no food here, the giraffe went to other windows to wait for feeding. After the car drove away, it stopped for a while and two keepers got on the car.
The two keepers saw Mu Ling as soon as they came up, and said: "Director Mu, Director Tian asked us to come."
Mu Ling hurriedly thanked him, and then took the two people to sit in the empty seat at the back, and the three of them talked together.
Mu Ling asked about Feifan first. Feifan’s keeper sighed and said, “Actually, Feifan’s daily living area is not there. We don’t know why it suddenly ran there. We all guessed that it might have sensed a thief and went there specifically to attack the thief. Because when we found the thief, they were all fainted and had a lot of injuries on their bodies. One of them even rolled down the hillside and died.”
When talking about the death of the thief, the two keepers had no expression at all. Instead, their tone was very cold. People who work in the animal industry would feel sorry for anyone who dies, but they would only say that the thief died well!
Mu Ling had already known the fate of those thieves from watching the news. She frowned and asked, "Don't you have surveillance of that section?"
Mu Ling knew that Changshan Zoo was fully equipped with satellite surveillance, plus a small amount of holographic surveillance. Logically, they should be well aware of the situation in the entire zoo.
Feifan's keeper sighed and said, "The satellite signal in that area was blocked. The thieves came prepared."
Mu Ling fell silent, thought for a while, and asked, "Could it be that Feifan smelled the scent of the alien beast, so he went over there?"
The two keepers shook their heads and said, "No, because according to the surveillance, the other beasts in the zoo did not react. Only Feifan suddenly ran over. So the military thought it was either a coincidence or Feifan had spotted the thieves and attacked them in the past, because baboons are very intelligent animals, especially since Feifan is an S-level purple electric baboon. The Veterinary Association also issued a report a few years ago saying that the IQ of purple electric baboons is generally equivalent to that of a seven-year-old human child. "
Mu Ling asked again: "Then who are the thieves themselves? What did they say?"
Feifan's keeper sneered: "They made up a story, saying that they were beaten by our staff in the park. Our staff didn't find them until three hours later!"
Feifan's disappearance was a matter that the military had been investigating for a month but couldn't find out anything. It was not something that Mu Ling could find out with just a few questions. Mu Ling pondered for a moment and asked Lieyan's keeper: "Then may I ask Lieyan Is he okay now? "
Lieyan's keeper smiled bitterly. He showed Mu Ling a few photos: "This is Lieyan. Do you think he is okay?"
Mu Ling looked at the photos. The first few were okay, but in the later photos, Lieyan looked thinner and his fur was dull. Even the flame-like red hair on the tip of his tail looked gray.
Mu Ling frowned.
Lieyan's keeper said, "It was actually fine before, but since Feifan went missing, Lieyan's condition has been getting worse. I heard that when you, the Piccolo Zoo, first found Feifan and Lieyan on the mountain, Lieyan was stuck by a branch, but Feifan didn't want to leave him, so they were brought to our zoo together by your staff." Mu
Ling didn't know this, and Brother Xiang and Brother Wei didn't tell her either. Mu Ling only looked at the frail red macaque in the photo and said sincerely, "It looks like Lieyan and Feifan has a very good relationship with Lieyan. I still want to see Lieyan. Can I see him? "
Lieyan's keeper hesitated and said, "I can take you to see him, but he may not show up. He is getting more and more sensitive now. I dare not get close to him for fear of making him stressed."
Mu Ling hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, thank you very much."
Lieyan's keeper reported to his superiors. There was no response at first, and then it was estimated that they asked the director of the field garden, and then they agreed and sent a car to pick them up.
So an hour after entering the garden, Mu Ling separated from the main force and followed two keepers to another forest.
It is called a forest, but it is completely different from the mountain in the Bick jungle. This is a large plain area, and the mountain is just a small hillside. There is no difficulty in moving. The car floated up.
Along the way, the two keepers told Mu Ling a lot about Feifan and Lieyan. When they reached the forest, the car slowed down slowly. Lieyan's keeper pointed to the surroundings and said, "There are no other animals in the two or three kilometers around here. We can't go in any further. If we go in, Lieyan will notice and run away."
Mu Ling had no choice but to nod and look out the window.
Lieyan's keeper handed Mu Ling a telescope and said, "Lieyan usually likes to climb the tallest tree. You should be able to see it with the telescope."
Mu Ling took the telescope and saw a lush and towering tree in his field of vision.
Mu Ling looked around again, but didn't see the red caltrops.
They waited like this for about an hour, and it was almost noon, but Lieyan didn't come out.
Feifan's keeper was about to leave. After Feifan left, he was now responsible for taking care of another group of ordinary baboons, and had to go back to feed the baboons. However, they only had one car, and if he wanted to leave, Mu Ling had to leave as well.
Mu Ling knew that he had done his best to accompany her for so long, so she nodded and said, "Then let's go."
Before leaving, she took another look at the big tree, but suddenly saw something flash by.
"Hey, wait!" Mu Ling shouted hurriedly, and then she stared at that side carefully!
It was indeed a monkey, and there was a patch of gray and red hair at the tip of the monkey's tail!
It's Lieyan!
Lieyan seemed to have not noticed any traces of human beings in the distance. It slowly climbed up from the bottom of the tree. When it climbed to the first branch, it stopped for a while, took a breath for a long time, and then continued to climb to the second branch.
It seemed that its body was indeed not in good condition. Monkeys should be very agile when climbing trees, but it was struggling to climb.
When it climbed to the third branch, it finally stopped moving, and slowly stood up. It stood on its two feet, holding onto the trunk, and headed west, with a cry that broke through the air: "Oh-oh-oh".
The empty forest made the sound extremely long. Mu Ling just watched it, feeling sad. She asked, "Is it calling Feifan?"
Lieyan's keeper nodded and said, "When Feifan was here, although he didn't live in the same area with Lieyan, he would call when Lieyan called, and they would meet occasionally. The main reason was that Feifan's nerve damage was more serious, and sometimes he would hurt Lieyan uncontrollably, so he usually didn't get close to Lieyan, but as long as Lieyan called him, he would call. I will definitely agree."
Feifan's keeper also said: "I heard that Lieyan was picked up by Feifan. At that time, Feifan was on a mission and the aliens killed a female monkey. After the female monkey died, the little monkey hid in a tree hole and escaped. Feifan found the little monkey and coaxed it out with his calls. Feifan's owner saw that the little monkey was a red macaque, so he asked the teacher of the War Beast Academy to do an appraisal. The result of the appraisal showed that the little monkey had a B-level talent and could be a war beast. After that, it entered the War Beast Academy, and during this period, Feifan's owner often took Feifan to see it..."
Mu Ling pursed her lips: "So Feifan almost grew up watching Lieyan?"
Mu Ling said this, lowered her head again, and glanced at Lingren in her arms.
Lingren seemed to be attracted by Lieyan's calls and was looking out through the window.
Mu Ling stroked the hair of the actor. Sometimes the feelings between war beasts were really deep, just like the relationship between actors and loyalty...
"Oh-oh-oh" At this time, Lieyan called out to the distance again, but no matter how it called, it never received any response from Feifan in the past month.
-
"Oh wow, oh wow, oh wow, oh wow!"
At the same time, in the southern area of Siwan Star, in the laboratory of an old factory.
The man in the white coat was so angry that his head was about to explode. He slammed the door of the cell and got angry as soon as he got out: "I just want to know why this baboon can't be poisoned to silence it. It cries like this every day. Do you know how annoying it is?"
The silencer blocked the cries in the cell. Another man in the white coat said indifferently: "You should say less, or Lorne will scold you again." "
Say it now!" The man in the white coat was very angry: "Why is he so arrogant? He thinks he is still a lieutenant colonel of the Beast Army. He is just a rat crossing the street now. Can he change his appearance by having plastic surgery? I despise traitors like him the most!"
"Alright!" The female doctor who was observing cells in front of another experimental equipment lost her temper: "Anyway, we are all in the same boat now. What's the point of you saying these nonsense? Hurry up and think about how to transfer."
The hot-tempered white coat sneered: "What are you thinking about? Didn't Lieutenant Colonel Loen come up with a good idea? He dared to use a drug that hasn't even been successful. What did he say? There are six animals on the starship. Although the drug is currently only 20% effective, The success rate of the plan is very low, but as long as one of the animals can mutate, once this mutant arrives at the Four Bays, it will cause a large-scale riot. At that time, he will mingle with the people at the zoo exchange meeting and use public opinion to create pressure and make people panic. The heads of these zoos will be afraid that something will happen to the animals they brought, so they will definitely leave the Four Bays as soon as possible. If too many animals leave and the main traffic routes become chaotic, we can take advantage of the situation and leave with the baboon..."
"But what about now? It was a good idea. What about now? A hamster mutated, and then it was bitten to death on the spot! Didn't he know that there was a war beast on the starship? Didn't he sneak into the exchange meeting? Didn't he do any investigation in advance? Ha, not only did he not investigate well, he was also scared away. When he saw the war beast, he ran faster than anyone else!"
The others really couldn't listen to it anymore. This person talked about negative energy every day, which was annoying: "Just take care of the baboon's food and drink, where does all the resentment come from? Think about it, this is an S-level war beast. It's not easy for us to get an S-level one. Loen's mastiff would never let anyone touch it. All our hopes are on this baboon. We must bring him back to the God King Planet as soon as possible. It's business, there's no need for internal conflicts."
The grumpy white coat yelled again: "How can you take it back? It's easy for you to say that. I said we shouldn't have knocked out those thieves at that time, and let them hunt animals and mess up the four bays. It would be easier for us to escape in the chaos. He insisted on meddling in this trivial matter. What does his business
have to do with other people's hunting? Strictly speaking, we also benefited from those thieves. If we didn't know they were going to hunt, would we have been able to get this baboon!" This person kept saying these few words. Other people in the laboratory didn't want to pay attention to him. Seeing that others ignored him, the grumpy white coat got even angrier and started to attack others indiscriminately, saying that everyone had betrayed and was willing to listen to the Beast Army and had no backbone.
While they were arguing outside, in the detention room separated by a door, the horse-faced baboon stopped calling after the man in the white coat left.
Its eyes were fixed on the key on the table outside the cage. After looking around, it climbed up to the ceiling along the railing. With its deft claws, it lifted the ventilation cover on the ceiling, stuck its head in, and looked around.
"Oh wow--" he called out softly.
Its call instantly echoed in the ventilation duct.
The purple electric baboon waited for a while, and a little kitten finally came over with a staggering step.
There were weeds growing near the pipes of the old factory building, and it was easy for stray cats to live there. When the big cats went out to find food, they would hide the little kittens in the pipes to ensure their safety.
It was obviously not the first time for the kitten to come here. As soon as the purple electric baboon saw the kitten, it jumped down, grabbed a bowl of animal food, climbed up again, and fed it to the kitten.
The kitten ate a bowl of animal food with great effort, and then found that it was gone. It felt strange because it could eat a lot of food when it came here normally.
"Meow..." The kitten was very hungry and called out to the aunt who was not sure whether it was a horse or a monkey.
The purple electric baboon picked up the kitten, let the kitten smell the animal food, and then threw the animal food out, which happened to land on the table not far away.
Then, he threw the kitten over and also landed on the table.
The kitten was a little scared of this strange environment. It took two steps and smelled the animal food, then it quickly ate it.
Before it finished eating one grain, another grain flew over and was thrown near the key. The kitten hurried over to the key and ate another grain.
Slowly, the purple electric baboon patiently guided the kitten to step around the key. Especially when the kitten was full, the animal food that flew over was more like the red dot of a laser pen in a cat toy, making the kitten want to grab it even more.
As it struggled like this, the key finally fell to the ground. The purple electric baboon quickly grabbed a handful of animal food and continued to throw it at the key. The kitten jumped off the table and continued to struggle for animal food. In less than 20 minutes, the key was within the purple electric baboon's reach.
It quickly rolled up the key with its long tail, grabbed the key with its flexible fingers, opened it backwards, and finally opened the door.
After opening the door, the baboon grabbed the kitten and sent it back to the ceiling. He also put some more animal food on the ceiling for it, and installed a ventilation window. Then he walked to the door on all fours, waiting for the door to open and welcome his new battlefield!
The veterinary center determined that the IQ of the purple electric baboon is the same as that of a seven-year-old human child.
However, the veterinary center did not dare to announce that the IQ of an S-level purple electric baboon is higher than that of a nine-year-old human child.
In particular, the purple electric baboon, which has received relevant training since childhood...
