Chapter 107
Ever since Brother Xiang told her about the flat-footed ape, Mu Ling has been waiting for Director Wang's communication.
Sure enough, on the third day, Director Wang called.
Director Wang on the other side was rather embarrassed. "You guys have been quite busy lately, and I'm sorry to add to your burden. They approached me this time, and I couldn't refuse, so I asked you. But again, if you don't think it's a good fit, just tell me and I'll turn it down."
Mu Ling smiled and said, "There's nothing wrong with it. But, Boss, why did you send that flat-footed orangutan to our zoo?"
Director Wang sighed. "That flat-footed ape's condition is quite serious. Its damage is already around 70%, and it's gone from 40% to 70% in just six months. I asked them why they didn't apply for your War Beast Nursery given its severity. They said your second phase of the nursery won't open until next year, and this flat-footed ape probably can't wait."
Mu Ling frowned, then nodded. "Okay, then send it over. But what kind of formality is this? Should we squeeze one into our nursery, or transfer it directly to our zoo?"
Director Wang said, "I'll transfer it to your zoo. If you agree, the flat-footed ape's owner will personally escort it here the day after tomorrow at the latest."
Mu Ling said it was no problem, and after hanging up the phone, the other party sent the information of the flat-footed ape over first.
Mu Ling took a quick look.
Species: [S-level flat-footed ape], name: [Badao], nickname: [Yuanyuan].
There is quite a contrast between the real name and the nickname.
Mu Ling continued to read below. Age: 15, retired for half a year, symptoms: insanity.
Mu Ling stared at the word "crazy" and frowned.
She looked at the specific case below and found that the word "crazy" was not a wrong summary.
Emotionally unstable, aggressive, suddenly excited in the middle of the night, screaming, the screams are shrill and painful, easily lost, not knowing where he is while walking, and then staying in the same place for a long time in confusion, likes to eat foreign objects, such as swallowing stones and sand raw, occasionally suddenly unable to stand, falling to the ground drooling, rolling eyes, but the examination results show no obvious disease, it is more like the brain enters the excitement period, but cannot correctly understand how to get excited, resulting in behavioral system disorders.
All these symptoms combined show one answer: it is a crazy ape, with illogical behavior and seriously abnormal thinking.
Mu Ling looked at it and her expression became serious.
Wei Li and Brother Xiang had just returned from outside. When passing by the corridor on the second floor, Wei Li saw the headmaster standing by the window, looking at the computer, with a very bad expression on his face.
Wei Li stopped and approached to ask, "Director, what's wrong?"
Mu Ling was stunned and turned around. She first saw Brother Wei, and then saw Brother Xiang behind Brother Wei.
Three days have passed since what happened that night. During these three days, Mu Ling could clearly feel that Brother Xiang was avoiding her.
She was in the second service area and he was in the first service area. She was in the first service area and he was in the second service area. She was researching food preparation and medicine combinations for the animals, but he clearly walked into the veterinary station and turned around and left.
This situation has happened several times.
Mu Ling pursed her lips, turned off her computer, and said, "Nothing. Director Wang contacted me and said he had a new war beast he wanted to send over. It's an S-rank flat-footed ape."
After Mu Ling said the three words "flat-footed ape", she looked at Brother Xiang and saw that Brother Xiang was also looking at her.
"Flat-footed ape, when will it come? Do you want me to be responsible for receiving it?" Wei Li asked.
Mu Ling smiled and said, "No need, Brother Xiang and I will take care of it."
As she spoke, Mu Ling looked at Brother Xiang again: "Brother Xiang, is everything okay?"
Category: "..."
Xiang Bie was silent for a moment, and finally said, "Yeah."
-
Director Wang said it would be delivered the day after tomorrow at the latest, but it was actually delivered the next night.
At seven o'clock the next evening, Mu Ling was at the second service area with the new nurse to check King Kong's damage value.
Before the second service area opened, Mu Ling recruited two nurses, one in her thirties, a senior nurse, and the other in her twenties. Although she had just graduated this year, she had gone to the war zone for internship before graduation and her overall ability was also very good.
Previously, these two nurses were placed in the first service area and trained by Dr. Bree. Now they have been there for a week, so Mu Ling brought the young nurse to the second service area and started to let her do some daily nursing work.
When Director Wang called, the young nurse had just given Mu Ling the test results of King Kong. Mu Ling looked at the data. It had been more than a month since King Kong came down the mountain. A month ago, its damage value was about 63%, and now it has dropped to 60%. Although the decrease is not much, King Kong's growth was not much before. It was accompanied by two rhinoceros birds. It only grew by about 8% in the one year since it came to the Beek Zoo, which was unprecedented among all animals. Now it can be reduced by 3% in a month, which is already a big breakthrough.
Mu Ling put the documents down and said to Director Wang, "Okay, you'll be there in half an hour, right? I'll get ready right away."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Ling gave the nurse a few more instructions, then walked towards the parking lot while talking to Brother Xiang.
Soon, Mu Ling waited for Brother Xiang in the parking lot.
Brother Xiang must have been busy in the warehouse before, so his sleeves were rolled up. Now he walked over while lowering his sleeves. When he walked in front of her, his muscular arms were completely covered. He didn't say anything when he saw her, opened the driver's door and sat in.
Mu Ling paused for a moment, then got into the passenger seat.
Ever since Mu Ling asked Brother Xiang to work with her to receive the flat-footed orangutans yesterday, Brother Xiang didn't avoid her so much today. Mu Ling knew that Brother Xiang was probably doing it out of pride, so he didn't know how to face her for a while.
But she didn't understand. She had clearly said that she didn't mind, so why didn't he believe her?
Is it so unbelievable that she can accept a person whose eyes change color, whose nerves occasionally twitch, and whose body organs have some diseases?
Or maybe he had tried to tell other people about this before, but they were both concerned and afraid, which caused him psychological trauma?
Why.
Men’s hearts are so hard to understand.
Mu Ling felt depressed and couldn't help but glance at Brother Xiang's arm again. She just saw that his arm was normal and nothing extra had grown, so it was indeed just his eyes that changed color?
The car drove all the way to the first service area, where people were preparing for lunch. Someone saw the head teacher coming down and asked her if she would teach tonight.
I have been quite busy recently, so the evening class that used to be one class every day has been reduced to two classes a week. In fact, Mu Ling has taught them everything she can. There is not much textbook knowledge left, so it mainly depends on practice.
Mu Ling said that she would go to class tomorrow night, and then she waited for a while, and a large truck drove in at the gate.
Mu Ling hurriedly took Brother Xiang to open the gate, and soon the truck drove into the service area.
At this time, some staff members also came over, curious about what was going on.
The passenger door opened at this time, and a young woman with a tired and haggard look walked out.
The woman was wearing a dark military combat uniform and combat boots. She seemed to know Mu Ling. She stepped forward and extended her hand to Mu Ling, saying, "Hello, Director Mu."
Mu Ling hurriedly shook her hand back, glanced at her epaulettes, and said, "Hello, Lieutenant Chen."
The information only listed the name of the flat-footed ape's owner, but not his military rank.
Lieutenant Chen withdrew her hand, looking somewhat depressed. She went around to the back, and soon the rear door opened. Several staff members came out and pushed down a huge cage.
When the cage was pushed, the anxious gorilla inside began to get angry.
The gorilla's body is black, its limbs are brown, and its head is slightly high. When it goes crazy, its brown palms slap directly on the cage, making loud banging noises that make it difficult for the staff to push the cage.
Lieutenant Chen quickly comforted him: "Badao, Badao is good, Badao is not afraid."
But the huge gorilla seemed to not recognize her at all, and still roared with its scarlet mouth open, its brows lowered, and its momentum looked as if it wanted to eat people.
Lieutenant Chen tried his best to comfort her, but it was no use. Mu Ling then stepped forward, observing the gorilla in the cage, and then, in an effort to build rapport, she sweetly called out, "Hello, Yuanyuan."
Category: "..."
Lieutenant Chen: “…”
Lieutenant Chen's expression suddenly became a little unnatural.
Badao doesn't actually have a nickname called Yuanyuan. The name Yuanyuan was given to him by his god aunt a while ago...
Thinking of the identity of that aunt, Lieutenant Chen felt a little dazed again. In fact, if it weren't for the help of Badao's aunt, Badao would never have been sent to the Piccolo Zoo. She was truly grateful to her, but this name...
Lieutenant Chen said tactfully, "Director Mu, we don't often call her Yuanyuan. You should just call her by her full name."
Mu Ling thought about it and realized that the nickname must have been used when he was a child. Badao was fifteen years old now. During his growth, whether in training or combat, he must have been called by his full name. So she changed her words and said, "Okay, Badao, hello, Badao?"
Badao was not a good person. He did not want to pay any attention to Mu Ling at all. He slammed the cage at Mu Ling fiercely. Because he was so strong, Mu Ling even saw that the cage was slightly deformed.
Upon seeing this, Xiang Bie immediately stepped forward, pulled Mu Ling a little back, and looked at the flat-footed ape with a frown.
Lieutenant Chen's expression was also very ugly. She increased her tone and scolded: "Bully, be obedient!"
But who knew that her roar would make the flat-footed ape even more excited. It pounded the cage even louder, and at the same time, its eyes, filled with murderous intent, stared fiercely at Lieutenant Chen.
Lieutenant Chen was heartbroken by the glare.
Seeing this, Mu Ling quickly said, "Let's send it to the nursery first."
Others rushed to help, and finally everyone worked together to push the cage towards the nursery.
"Huha! Huha!" Badao was roaring all the way. The noise of his roar was so loud that some of the war beasts in other glass houses rushed over to look.
Especially the Silver Blessing Koala.
He stared blankly at the overbearing giant, his silly and dull face suddenly opened his mouth: "Didi ha, didi ha..."
Mu Ling happened to pass by Koala's room at this time. She glanced to the side and frowned.
The glass house can block out sounds, but the sound barrier is usually turned off at night, so that people outside can rush over immediately if they hear animals calling.
Badao was quickly sent to a large room. After escaping the cage, the gorilla pounded the ground with both hands, ran out with its butt sticking out, and then turned around and started attacking the staff.
The staff didn't even bother to put the cage away and ran away, fearing that they would be beaten to death by the gorilla if they were too late.
Until the door of the glass house closed.
"Bang! Bang!" The gorilla raised his hands and pounded on the door again.
Although the glass door was strong enough, it couldn't withstand such constant pounding. Lieutenant Chen was sweating profusely. In fact, when Badao scared Director Mu by hammering the cage, she started to panic. She was afraid that Director Mu would refuse to accept Badao because of his difficulty. That's why she couldn't help but yell at Badao...
But Tyrant was still so excited. Lieutenant Chen couldn't imagine what Tyrant would do in the future if even Piccolo Zoo didn't want him...
"Everyone, disperse! Stop watching!" Mu Ling shouted, "There are too many of us. The pressure is too great."
Mu Ling took everyone away, and then used the surveillance camera to check inside. When she saw that there was no one inside, the gorilla really stopped pounding on the door. However, it seemed that it also hated the cage that trapped it, and it started howling and trying to tear the cage apart.
Mu Ling looked at the flat-footed gorilla, then switched to Daidai's surveillance footage. She saw the little koala approaching the direction of the gorilla's roar, still babbling: "Didi ha, didi ha..."
Mu Ling looked at it and became thoughtful.
Here, Lieutenant Chen was still looking at Mu Ling in despair. Mu Ling turned off the surveillance camera and when she looked up, she was startled by Lieutenant Chen's solemn expression. She asked in confusion, "Lieutenant Chen, what's wrong?"
Lieutenant Chen pursed his lips and said, "Director Mu, if Badao damages your equipment, please feel free to contact me. I will double the compensation. I just hope you..."
Mu Ling seemed to understand what she was worried about. She interrupted her, "Lieutenant Chen, Badao was given to our zoo for adoption. This means that he is not only your child now, but also a member of our Beak Zoo. I am also his parent. You don't need to tell me this. He is no longer your responsibility alone."
Lieutenant Chen was stunned. She looked at Mu Ling deeply for a while, then nodded gratefully: "Thank you!"
Lieutenant Chen had asked for leave and she hadn't even changed out of her military uniform. She had to rush back to the team before dawn, so Mu Ling didn't keep her.
After Lieutenant Chen left, someone asked, "Director, who will be responsible after Ba Dao?"
The war beasts in the nursery are all cared for one-on-one. For example, the three lynxes are easy to raise, so they are taken care of by other keepers. However, with the condition of Badao, there must be someone specifically responsible for it.
Mu Ling said: "I'm responsible."
Everyone was stunned. They all knew that the director had been very busy recently and the second service area was almost inseparable from her.
Mu Ling said, "I'll talk to Dr. Bree. For now, he'll go to the second service area. I'll be guarding the first service area. You guys go eat. Brother Wei, thank you for turning on the surveillance camera and keeping an eye on Tyrant for me."
Wei Li said yes, and Mu Ling went to the veterinary station.
After taking just two steps, Mu Ling saw Brother Xiang catching up. Xiang Bie was walking beside Mu Ling. He was silent for a moment and then said, "I didn't expect it to be so serious."
Mu Ling smiled and said, "Being serious isn't a bad thing. The more serious it is, the sooner treatment is needed. I'm quite lucky that Badao's damage is only 70% right now, so there's still time to recover. If it were over 90%, I'm not sure if it would be too late."
Xiang Bie tilted his head to look at Mu Ling, then pursed his lips: "I'm the one who caused you trouble, I'll take responsibility for it."
Mu Ling didn't care: "Okay, let's take responsibility together."
Mu Ling told Dr. Bray about the change of area. Dr. Bray had no objection. He even went to see the giant gorilla in person, then flipped through the Tyranny's medical records and said, "I've heard of similar cases before."
Mu Ling immediately asked: "And then?"
"Dead."
Mu Ling: “…”
Dr. Bray put down the case. "But I've heard of many cases where the patient died, just like Magic. I've been treating it for so long, and I even calculated its first seven days of life. But after being with you for two days, it suddenly became full of life. So my opinion may not be accurate, but I would say that this flat-footed ape's condition is more serious than Magic's."
Mu Ling frowned.
Dr. Bray reminded her, “There’s a difference between being sick and being crazy.”
A crazy animal has lost the behavioral logic of a normal animal. At this time, you cannot find its problem because you are not a crazy person and you cannot synchronize your thoughts with a crazy person.
Dr. Bree didn't even eat the meal and went to the second service area. Mu Ling didn't eat much either. She kept reading Badao's information.
Crazy, why crazy, there must be a reason for being crazy.
Mu Ling flipped through the not-so-thick information over and over again. After reading it four or five times, she still had no clue.
She simply put the information aside and walked to the nursery. When she got there, she saw that in less than an hour, the flat-footed gorilla had already torn the cage apart.
The railings on the ground were making a clanging sound as it stepped on them.
Mu Ling watched and suddenly made a decision.
Who says normal people can’t empathize with crazy people!
Who wouldn’t go crazy!
Five minutes later.
Xiang Bie stood at the door of the gorilla's room. He looked at the gorilla inside, then looked at Mu Ling beside him, pursed his lips and said, "Say it again?"
Mu Ling handed him the protective suit, helmet, and tranquilizer gun, and said, "Go in and fight it one-on-one!"
Category: "..."
Xiang Bie was silent for a moment and asked, "You want me to anesthetize it?"
"No, you fight it, and I'll tell you how to fight. If you really can't win, or if you can't do it anymore, just anesthetize it and protect yourself."
Category: "..."
Xiang Bie stared deeply at Mu Ling in front of him, then looked at the thing in her hand. Finally, he took it and put it on without saying a word, then pushed the door to go in.
Mu Ling hurriedly said: "Don't go in like this, go in like this."
Mu Ling suddenly bent down, swinging her arms in front of her, imitating the gait of an orangutan, and said, "This way, this way."
Item: “…………”
Xiang Bie's expression was icy: "You want me to imitate an ape?"
Mu Ling went over, patted his arm, and stroked his fur. "Don't be angry. I have my own plan. Just listen to me. Please, Brother Xiang! If I could do it myself, I wouldn't call you. I've never been a soldier, and I'm afraid I won't be able to dodge its attack. If it punches me and I'm knocked away, no one will pay you!"
Category: "..."
Xiang Bie glanced at Mu Ling's slender fingers on his arm, took a deep breath, and finally said, "And then?"
Seeing that he agreed, Mu Ling smiled happily: "You go in first, we'll communicate, I'll tell you one step at a time, and you don't question me, okay?"
Category: "..."
Xiang Bie sighed: "Yeah."
In the end, Xiang Bie stood stiffly at the door, holding the door handle with his hand, gritted his teeth, took the risk, and walked in.
As soon as he entered, Xiang Bie bent down, swung his arms, and asked Mu Ling with gritted teeth: "Then what!"
Mu Ling hurriedly said, "Don't worry, wait for it to come over."
Inside, Badao also saw that there were humans who dared to come in. It immediately bared its teeth and rushed forward, wanting to bite the neck off!
Just as Xiang Bie was about to avoid it, he heard Mu Ling's voice on the hands-free phone: "Brother Xiang, beat your chest. Beat your chest like an orangutan!"
Category: "..."
"Hurry up! Brother Xiang! Trust me!"
Xiang Bie clenched his fists tightly, and before the flat-footed ape rushed over, he straightened up and pounded his chest with despair!
As he hammered, Mu Ling also gave him a roaring sound through the hands-free: "Huha! Huha! Huha!"
The shocking movements and sounds startled the gorilla that was rushing over. Badao seemed confused for a moment. It thought that the person coming in was a human. It turned out that the other party was also a gorilla?
But no matter what it is, kill it when it comes!
Badao opened his mouth wide and punched Xiang Bie directly.
Mu Ling hurriedly said, "Get out of the way, and then go and hit it! Hit it like it did!"
Xiang Bie dodged before Mu Ling opened her mouth, but her next sentence...
Xiang Bie raised one arm and slashed at the gorilla.
Mu Ling corrected him: "Two hands, two hands! You need to imitate it more!"
Category: "..."
Xiang Bie finally raised both hands and hammered the flat-footed ape at the same time.
But the flat-footed ape also dodged.
Mu Ling said: "Charge it, chase it, and hammer it!"
Please do as instructed.
When the flat-footed ape saw the gorilla coming to attack it, it immediately reached out to slap its neck to protect itself. When gorillas fight, they bare their teeth and slap each other!
"Don't let it hit you. Its punch weighs four tons. Go around and hit its arm!"
The neck is flexible and goes around the back to hit the weak point of the flat-footed gorilla.
The flat-footed gorilla is a herbivore. The difference between herbivores and carnivores is that herbivores have very weak fighting capabilities. Animals like gorillas do not have enough bite force, their fangs are not sharp enough, and their claws are not sharp enough. They are destined to win fights by strength. However, Xiangbie has excellent military fighting skills. The gorilla, which only knows strength, naturally cannot hurt him at all, but he will attack it by surprise.
The flat-footed gorilla, who had missed his opponent but was hit by him, immediately turned around and tried again.
Xiang Bie went around the opponent's back again, always maintaining a state where only he could hit the opponent, and the opponent could not hit him.
The flat-footed ape was hurt and finally retreated. It arched its body, swung its forearms vigilantly, and stared at Xiang Bie from a distance.
Mu Ling reminded: "Brother Xiang, posture!"
Xiang Bie straightened up a little: "..."
Xiang Bie gritted his teeth, bent down again, and perfectly replicated the gorilla's posture.
Mu Ling took the opportunity to explain to Brother Xiang, "Gorillas are very sensitive to pain, which is why they don't like fighting. Fighting can get them injured, and being injured is incredibly painful. So over time, gorillas gradually become afraid of fighting. Tyranny has gone crazy now. It's forgotten that it doesn't like fighting, so it attacks everyone it sees. But no matter whether it's a human or an animal, their first reaction when facing such a behemoth is to hide. If they don't resist, Tyranny will become even more unscrupulous. So what you need to do now is awaken its instincts and teach it to be afraid! Only when it remembers that it feels pain and fear will its rationality and judgment return."
Xiang Bie understood, but his tone was deep: "What does that have to do with me pretending to be a gorilla?"
Mu Ling said, "Gorillas are social animals. In a group of gorillas, there is always a leader. You are pretending to be a leader gorilla. Your mission today is to win this little brother back! Make him obey you. Is he crazy? You are even crazier than him. Don't pity him just because he is crazy. Even if he is crazy, he has to obey you!"
Principal Mu, a versatile master who has mastered the skills of pretending to be a naive girl, a scheming green tea girl, a dog, a monkey, a two-dimensional voice actor, the granddaughter of a tiger with horns, and countless other characters, has begun to teach and formally pass on her lifelike dressing skills to her future deputy principal, the famous First Marshal of the Federation!
Mu Ling is determined to shape Brother Xiang into the best leadership gorilla!
Xiang Bie wanted to push himself off the hovercraft when he asked Mu Ling to take in the flat-footed ape four days ago!
