Chapter 100
Mu Ling stayed in the ward with Lynx and Qiaoyang, checking the surveillance camera from time to time.
So, around six o'clock in the evening, Brother Xiang had to go see the Qilins again.
Mu Ling also wanted to go, but there was still a B-level war beast that had not woken up yet, so she couldn't leave.
However, if Brother Xiang goes to the safe zone from the hospital, he doesn't have to take a warship with the owners of other war beasts. By not going with others, he doesn't have to take a detour to see Cuicui. By not seeing Cuicui, he can finally give up the incense in the toilet.
After Brother Xiang left, Mu Ling saw that it was almost time, so she fed the lynx some food and medicine.
The lynx ate everything obediently because it had protected Mu Ling. So it now took Mu Ling's offerings for granted and would not refuse to eat anything Mu Ling gave it.
The cliff sheep over there are a bit tricky.
Mu Ling and Qiao Yang had a bad relationship. Although she brought in a basin of grass, she put it on the ground. Qiao Yang didn't eat it, but just sat in the corner angrily.
Mu Ling rolled her eyes and decided that if soft tactics didn't work, she would resort to hard tactics.
She asked someone for a rope, poked a hole in the grass basin, tied the basin with the rope, and then held the basin close to the sheep.
Seeing that Mu Ling dared to come over, Qiao Yang first looked at the lynx behind it. Seeing that the lynx did not come over, it immediately stood up and planned to attack Mu Ling.
Mu Ling reacted quickly, put down the grass basin, and ran away.
Mu Ling ran back to the lynx again.
Qiao Yang kicked his feet in anger, helpless and furious.
Once the opportunity is missed, it is gone, and Qiaoyang can only turn around and go back to the corner.
The grass basin was not far away from it, but Qiao Yang didn't even look at it and didn't want to go over and eat at all.
Mu Ling then pulled the rope and pulled the grass basin back.
After pulling it back, she picked up the grass basin again and walked closer to the sheep.
As expected, Qiao Yang was fooled again and chased Mu Ling again, but Mu Ling ran away again.
After being fooled for the second time, Qiao Yang was obviously more annoyed. He kept mooing and even though he was being stared at by the lynx, he couldn't help but take two steps towards it.
As expected, he was immediately chased back by the lynx.
Qiaoyang became even angrier!
The lynx actually saw Mu Ling going back and forth to provoke Qiao Yang, but this behavior was actually a bit like that of a cub. That's how cubs are. They are obviously afraid of everything, but they are also very brave. They were just roared at by an adult, but they turned around and dared to climb up the tree by themselves. In the end, they were trapped in the tree and couldn't get down, so their parents had to go up and pick them up.
The cubs are weak, and Mu Ling is also weak, so the lynx thinks that it is reasonable for Mu Ling to do some suicidal behaviors similar to those of the cubs, so it did not stop Mu Ling.
Lynx's indulgence made Mu Ling even more arrogant.
After Qiaoyang returned, Mu Ling went to tease it for the third time, the fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time...
In the end, Qiao Yang was tired and didn't want to pay attention to Mu Ling anymore, so he just pointed his butt at Mu Ling.
Mu Ling pushed the grass basin and hit Qiao Yang's butt again.
Qiao Yang was extremely annoyed. He stared at the grass basin beside him, as if he understood what the human meant, that is, he wanted him to eat grass!
In order to get rid of Mu Ling, Qiao Yang endured the humiliation and planned to just eat two pieces of grass.
"Splash!" But when it was about to eat the grass, Mu Ling pulled the basin back.
Qiao Yang was a little confused. He tilted his head and looked at Mu Ling.
Mu Ling pushed the basin over again.
Qiao Yang went over and smelled the basin.
"Crash." The basin was pulled away again.
Qiao Yang: “…”
Push it over, pull it over, push it over, pull it over.
After this happened several times, Qiao Yang suddenly stepped into the plastic basin to prevent humans from defecating.
Mu Ling did not dare to show weakness and pulled even harder.
Qiao Yang rushed over instantly, making a gesture to attack Mu Ling.
Mu Ling was so scared that she turned around and ran away, and her grip on the rope also loosened.
After scaring Mu Ling, Qiao Yang lowered his head and ate two grains of grass.
Seeing this, Mu Ling became anxious and went over to pick up the rope and continued pulling.
Even though Qiao Yang wasn't very smart, he now understood what this human meant.
This human just wants to make it see that it can't eat it, and is deliberately teasing it with food. She is bullying it!
"Moo moo!" The sheep chewed the grass in big mouthfuls, its clear black eyes staring at Mu Ling with vigilance.
Whenever Mu Ling wanted to go over to pick up the rope, Qiao Yang would sprint forward two steps, scare Mu Ling away, and then come back to eat grass faster.
Finally, seeing that the grass was almost gone, the sheep didn't want to eat the grass crumbs anymore. It moved its mouth and looked at the annoyed human with satisfaction.
Qiao Yang felt that he had finally defeated this human! The more you don't want me to eat, the more I want to eat!
Mu Ling tiptoed to make sure that the medicine mixed in was also eaten by Qiao Yang, then she slowly returned to the lynx, lay down and watched the surveillance.
The two nurses standing outside the door who witnessed the whole process: "..."
The two nurses originally wondered why Director Mu wanted a rope, as the sheep wouldn't eat grass.
Who would have thought that she was actually playing hard to get and reluctant to give in with Qiaoyang.
Hey, you are indeed an experienced driver...
When it comes to teasing war beasts, he's quite skilled...
-
Around ten o'clock in the evening, the last B-level red-eared camel finally woke up.
The red-eared camel is a type of camel. As its name suggests, it has reddish ears and brown fur. It looks very similar to the alpaca and guanaco, which are also close relatives of the camel.
When Mu Ling heard that the red-eared camel had woken up, she hurried over to check, but she saw that the red-eared camel was not actually awake. It was still confused and its eyes were not open. Seeing this, Mu Ling made a prompt decision and asked someone to move it to the lynx's ward.
Everyone naturally did as they were told.
After the red-eared camel was brought in, it took more than ten minutes for the effect of the medicine on the red-eared camel to slowly wear off.
After regaining its energy, the red-eared camel was able to open its eyes. As soon as it opened its eyes, it found a lynx squatting next to it.
The familiar smell was that of the lynx he knew. The red-eared camel was very happy to see the lynx. He immediately called out to the lynx: "Hmm, hmm..."
The red-eared camel's cry sounded a bit like a spoiled child, so the lynx came up and licked the red-eared camel's fur.
The red-eared camel closed its eyes comfortably, but after a while, it suddenly felt something was wrong.
Isn't it just the licking on my head? Why does it feel on my back as well?
The red-eared camel looked behind him in confusion, and saw that there was a human sitting behind him, and the human was touching his back fur!
The red-eared camel was so frightened that its dark pupils almost bulged out. It immediately stood up in a panic, and the "hmm" sound turned into a "kaka" sound. It roared fiercely at the human!
Mu Ling looked innocent and tilted her head.
The lynx sat next to Mu Ling at this time and tilted its head towards the red-eared camel, as if it didn't understand why it was angry.
The red-eared camel looked at the lynx and then at the human. It was a little confused. It tried hard to sniff the human's scent. It was indeed a strange scent. It wandered around anxiously.
After a while, Mu Ling put a handful of green grass on the ground and pushed it towards the red-eared camel.
The red-eared camel remained alert and did not go over to eat.
Mu Ling pushed the grass in front of the lynx.
The lynx naturally wouldn't eat grass. It bent its neck and used its nose to push the grass back to the red-eared camel.
If it was the grass given by the lynx...
The red-eared camel took a hesitant half step forward, sniffed the grass for a while, licked a little tentatively, and chewed it slowly as if testing for poison...
Mu Ling then took out some shredded meat, put it on the ground and pushed it to the lynx.
The lynx can eat the shredded meat, and it finished it in two bites.
Mu Ling grabbed another handful of grass and pushed it to the red-eared camel.
The red-eared camel thought that lynxes eat food fed by humans, so after hesitating for a moment, it ate it too.
The red-eared camel is still a little confused. It doesn't recognize this human, but this human seems to be very familiar with it.
Is it actually its fault? It should know this human, otherwise how could this human be so familiar with it?
Mu Ling grabbed another handful of grass and gave it to the red-eared camel.
Mu Ling grabbed another handful of grass and gave it to the red-eared camel.
Mu Ling continued to pick grass for the red-eared camel.
The red-eared camel, which had already eaten a lot of grass, chewed and chewed, and then it sniffed again. Okay, this human has a familiar smell.
Taking advantage of the fact that the red-eared camel was still unconscious after the effect of the drug wore off, Mu Ling successfully used the lynx as a cover to instill her scent into the red-eared camel's mind. As the red-eared camel ate, it began to actively smell her hand.
Mu Ling finally smiled with satisfaction.
After the red-eared camel was full, Mu Ling fed it some nutrient water mixed with medicine.
The red-eared camel drank it obediently. After finishing drinking, he turned around and saw that there was a sheep in the corner.
The sheep didn't know that the human was pua the red-eared camel just now. It just saw that they had a good relationship, and it was a sheep sitting on the other side.
Now the red-eared camel finally discovered it, and the sheep immediately stretched its neck to sniff in that direction, and its tail behind it began to wag.
The red-eared camel walked over and confirmed that the sheep was the one it knew. It then became happy and jumped around beside the sheep.
The sheep continued to wag its tail, and then pushed its grass basin, which was only filled with grass scraps, in front of the red-eared camel.
The red-eared camel ate the grass scraps without being picky about food, and then it ran to the lynx and Mu Ling, and then to the Qiao sheep, busy like a single-parent baby whose parents were divorced and trying hard to build a bridge of communication between the two sides.

"Are all three being fed normally?" Late at night in the President's room, the President was originally reading the documents sent from the Capital Star. Upon hearing Chai Yunyue's words, he looked up at him and said, "So fast? When we left this afternoon, weren't there only lynxes?"
Chai Yunyue reported truthfully: "It is said that three people used three different methods."
The president leaned back and said, "Tell me."
"The lynx pretends to be a weak little white flower, the cliff sheep pretends to be a scheming tea fisherman, and the red-eared camel pretends to be a kind stepmother."
President:"……?"
Chai Yunyue also found it a little hard to accept, but this was the report he heard.
The president asked Chai Yunyue to explain in detail. After he finished listening, he absorbed it for a few seconds and then smiled: "It's quite interesting."
Then he asked, "Has the Qing'an Zoo been thoroughly investigated?"
At this point, Chai Yunyue's expression grew serious again. "All the surveillance cameras in the park were destroyed, but according to the duty roster, the handwriting of the duty officers has changed since a month ago. I checked the surveillance cameras at the Starship Center based on the dates during that period, and found this."
Chai Yunyue handed several photos to the president.
The president took a look and saw some photos of people boarding a ship. There were two men in the photos, one older and one younger.
Chai Yunyue said, "This middle-aged man is the director of the Qing'an Zoo. The one next to him is one of the rebel accomplices we captured. They are in the same group."
Chai Yunyue continued, "Qing'an Zoo changed hands six months ago. The old director passed away, and her children sold the zoo. Then, it was taken over by the rebels. For the past six months, the rebels have barely been to the zoo. The zoo's daily operations and maintenance were handled by the old director's staff. Until a month ago, they started coming so frequently that those staff were fired."
The president put the photos down and said, "That means they were planning this six months ago and officially finalized it a month ago."
Chai Yunyue nodded. "Those rebels we interrogated did say a lot, but it wasn't any useful information. They were probably only informed a month ago. They probably don't know anything further ahead."
The president frowned and pointed at the new director of Qing'an Zoo in the photo: "Catch this guy back."
Chai Yunyue lowered his head: "Yes."
The president pursed his lips and pondered again. The plan was started half a year ago, but why was the time period of half a year later chosen?
In this incident, the rebels have at least two purposes.
One, trap him, or kill him.
Second, eliminate more high-level war beasts and beast taming troops.
A year ago, when the monster tide broke out on Xuan Gu Star, the rebels targeted the stationed troops on Xuan Gu Star. The ones who suffered the heaviest losses at that time were the stationed troops.
This time, the opponent's target is still the military.
But why this time period? What is the significance of this time period?
A thousand thoughts raced through his mind. Rubbing his aching forehead, the president let out a sigh and continued, "Give the order. Don't let your guard down. You must remain vigilant at all times until the alien beast is completely under control."
Chai Yunyue agreed and asked, "Then...should we evacuate?"
"No retreat," the president said coldly, "I'm not on the capital planet, so the person behind this dared to act. We're just waiting for him to reveal his true intentions. Keep a close eye on him."
Chai Yunyue replied "yes", thought for a moment, and then said: "If you have time, please give Aunt Rou a video call..."
The president was stunned and asked, "Did she look for you?"
Soldiers are not allowed to wear their own light computers while on duty, but Chai Yunyue is not from the military, but from the Security Department.
Chai Yunyue said, "She's worried because you haven't had any news."
With a sigh, the president said, "I understand."
The next morning, he rubbed his sore neck. After the president asked Chai Yunyue to leave, he made a phone call.
The call was quickly connected, and a familiar female voice came from the other end: "Hello?"
The president smiled and said, "It's me."
The person on the other end was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Why is it this number?"
"I'm afraid of being monitored, so I'm using a virtual number to let you know I'm safe."
The female voice smiled and said, "Who's worried about you?"
The president also smiled. After being married for many years, they had a tacit understanding that was already engraved in their bones.
Thinking of Xiang Yuanren, the president said again: "I saw him."
There was a pause and silence.
The president said, "He's very healthy. He doesn't seem to have any sequelae. There are no scars on his face, and his limbs are intact. Oh, and he even learned to wear perfume. But perhaps because of his financial situation, the scent is not good and doesn't suit him."
The woman on the other end of the line sounded a bit incredulous: "He... sprayed perfume? How is that possible?"
The president smiled and said, "Of course not. He's old enough now, it's normal for him to start paying attention to his appearance. He won't be a child forever. So, buy him some men's perfume that suits him and send it to the Beek Zoo."
"No, no," the woman quickly refused, "He'll be angry!"
"How dare he, steal my privileged group, and he still dares to be angry!"
The female voice was puzzled: "What group?"
The president gave a brief account and was about to elaborate when there was a knock on the door.
The female voice heard it and said considerately: "You go ahead and do your work. Be careful."
"Okay." The president said, "You should also pay attention to your safety. Remember, people entering and leaving the Security Department must be accompanied. Don't be careless."
"I know, long-winded."
-
Of the 62 animals in Qing'an Zoo, Mu Ling would visit the other animals except for the three war beasts when she was free. Ordinary animals did not require as much care as the war beasts, and they would probably stabilize after just one week of normal feeding.
Mu Ling thought that they would be sent back to Qing'an Zoo after they stabilized, but she heard that the poisonous gas in the park had not dissipated yet, so the animals could not go back and had to stay in the hospital for a while.
Fortunately, this hospital is big and has four, five, six, seven, eight and nine floors above it, so occupying the third floor is not a big problem.
Mu Ling, on the other hand, has been accompanying the three war beasts every day. She hasn't seen Qilin and the others for a long time. She misses them so much!
Another week passed, and Major General Tong suddenly found Mu Ling.
After hearing what the other party said, Mu Ling was stunned: "Can I leave now?"
Major General Tong smiled and said, "Yes, the situation in the war zone has basically stabilized. Many lightly affected areas have been cleared, and the number of moderately affected areas is gradually decreasing. From now on, the military's own war beasts will be enough. There is no need to trouble the retired war beasts. They have been working so hard during this period. Of course, we also have subsidies and rewards for this support, and these will be sent to the Beak Zoo soon."
Mu Ling smiled and said, "That's secondary. The main thing is that we can help Nurha Star, and we also think it is very meaningful."
Major General Tong nodded. "Yes, you haven't been back to the monitoring room for a while, so you might not know. Over the past two weeks, more than 30 retired war beasts have been sent in for support. The monitoring room is almost full."
Mu Ling really didn't know this, and neither did Brother Xiang. Their things had already been sent to the hospital. Mu Ling had been sleeping in Lynx's ward at night recently, while Brother Xiang was sleeping in the ward next to hers.
Now that they were suddenly leaving, Mu Ling felt a little reluctant. She asked, "When are we leaving? I want to say goodbye to the lynx and the others."
Major General Tong looked at her and suddenly said, "You don't seem to call them by their names very often."
Mu Ling was stunned.
Yes, Mu Ling knew the names of the three war beasts. The lynx was called "Liu Guang", the sheep was called "Da Yi", and the red-eared camel was called "Happiness".
But Mu Ling doesn't call them by their names very often, because calling them by their names would easily deepen the relationship...
Mu Ling smiled bitterly.
Major General Tong was silent for a moment, then said anxiously, "Actually, there's something that my superiors asked me to tell you today. I'm just not sure what you think..."
Mu Ling was puzzled: "What's the matter?"
Major General Tong glanced at the door of the ward across from him. "Qing'an Zoo was traded before. Before the incident, the zoo's owner was already a rebel. Now the zoo has naturally been confiscated, but you can see the current state of Nurha Star. For the time being, everything is suspended. Qing'an Zoo has no director, no keepers, and probably even no food. If these animals return to the zoo, they won't be properly accommodated."
Mu Ling paused. Logically, Major General Tong shouldn't talk to an outsider like her about this kind of thing, but he did. Could it be that...
Major General Tong continued, "What the higher-ups mean is that they want to ask your Beak Zoo if you're willing to rescue them... Of course, the government will provide you with the subsidies that the war beasts deserve, but for other animals, the subsidies may be less..."
The guess was confirmed. Mu Ling opened her mouth in a daze: "This..."
Major General Tong had been carefully watching Mu Ling's expression. When he saw that Mu Ling was about to speak, he quickly shut up and waited for her to speak.
Mu Ling's lips moved a few times: "These 62... animals... all need to be rescued?"
Major General Tong's face flushed instantly. He coughed awkwardly and said, "Of course, I'll do what I can. If you're willing, then choose..."
"Can you really give it all to me?" Mu Ling opened her mouth wide, her face full of disbelief.
Major General Tong was stunned. This sentence didn't seem to mean that he didn't want it. He asked tentatively, "Are you willing?"
"No money, give it all to me?" Mu Ling had to confirm again and again!
Major General Tong said, "If you're willing, it's definitely free... We'll still give you the subsidy..."
"I do! I do!" Mu Ling immediately responded excitedly, "I absolutely, absolutely, absolutely do!"
Major General Tong saw that Mu Ling was even more excited than he was, and was a little overwhelmed. Major General Tong, who didn't pay much attention to animals, didn't know that an ordinary first-class federal protected animal could be sold for millions of interstellar coins. And among these 62 animals, in addition to the three B-class war beasts, there were at least a dozen federal first-class protected animals...
This is the wealth that Mu Ling could not possibly accumulate even if she saved money for ten years!
Suddenly she had ten years less to struggle with!
After Major General Tong received Mu Ling's affirmative answer, he went back to report. After he left, Mu Ling immediately shared the good news with Brother Xiang!
Xiang Bie was also stunned after hearing this. There were already few animals in the Beek Zoo. These 62 animals were really a pie in the sky for the Beek Zoo.
Xiang Bie suddenly thought of what his uncle said when he left two weeks ago...
He specifically asked Mu Ling to stay and take care of these animals.
Logically speaking, this kind of matter was not his business, but he just happened to bring it up at that time.
Pursing his lips, Xiang Bie thought, he knew where the pie came from.
At one o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, Mu Ling didn't even have time to say goodbye to the owners of the other retired war beasts before she had to busy herself with the 72 animals back home.
The warship first loaded the animals in the hospital, and then went to various safe zones to pick up the war beasts.
When they finally saw Mu Ling at first, the war beasts were so excited. Tayun and Yueguang didn't even bother to say goodbye to their master, and rushed towards Mu Ling in a hurry. There was nothing they could do, it was really too long since they had seen each other.
However, this joy completely disappeared after Mu Ling led them onto the warship.
The war beasts looked silently at the large group of animals in the warship.
The complex animal smell in the air suddenly made them want to kill hundreds more exotic beasts.
It took a full twelve hours to fly from Nurha Star to Shenwang Star.
At one o'clock in the morning, after Wei Li's eager anticipation, the warship finally stopped at the square of the service area of the Beek Zoo.
The gate opened, and the first ones to come out were a group of war beasts who had long been unable to bear it.
After the war beasts left without looking back, Mu Ling and Xiang Bie came out next.
When Wei Li saw the headmaster and Brother Xiang had returned unharmed, his eyes immediately turned red. Tears welled up in his eyes as he rushed forward and hugged Brother Xiang: "Brother, you're finally back!"
Xiang Bie pushed him away impatiently.
Mu Ling smiled and said to the back: "Everyone, please leave."
When Wei Li heard this, he sniffed and looked into the warship in confusion, wondering who else wanted to get off.
Then he saw two soldiers carrying a cage down.
Then two more soldiers came carrying a cage.
Two more soldiers came down carrying a cage.
And...
And...
Wei Li watched until his eyes became blurry. He rubbed his eyes, then looked again at the cages that kept pouring out of the warship, muttering to himself, "Am I trapped in a maze?"
