Chapter 122
What Mu Ling did in the ward brought a great shock to the relevant personnel of Maple Leaf Zoo.
Watching the video is one thing, hearing about it is another, but seeing it with your own eyes still seems outrageous.
Producer Luo's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked the cameraman, "Did you capture everything?"
The cameraman nodded repeatedly, indicating that not a single frame was missed!
Producer Luo was very satisfied. After thinking about it for a while, he came up with a new idea.
After a while, when she was sure that Nini was asleep, Mu Ling left the ward and planned to ask the keepers of the three little animals to take them out for some fresh air. Otherwise, it would be very uncomfortable for the three little animals to be locked up in the ward all the time.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw a lot of people standing outside. When they saw her come out, they... started clapping!
“Pah, pah, pah…”
The enthusiastic applause was so loud that it attracted many medical staff in the veterinary station to look over here. Not only people, but also the small animals who came to see the doctor looked over here.
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling was immediately stunned. Her face turned red and she quickly said, "Stop... stop taking pictures, stop taking pictures..."
Director He stepped forward, shook Mu Ling's hand, and excitedly said, "Director Mu, you've really helped us! You're incredible! You solved the problem right after you arrived! So, as long as we live together, Nini will get better, right? Then, let's put Nini in the same enclosure with the golden monkeys and red pandas. That way, Nini will be able to recover smoothly, right?"
Mu Ling thought for a moment and said, "Nini's condition is still unstable. The small animals can let her relax her guard temporarily, but it is not necessarily a good idea to live together all the time. After all, Iron Bear is a war beast and is aggressive. It is possible that after Nini recovers, she will hurt these small animals."
Director He became even more excited: "You mean, it can really be restored, right?"
Mu Ling laughed: "As long as you take good care of it, it can recover, of course, but whether we can live together or not, we'll have to wait and see."
Director He nodded quickly: "Okay, okay, let's see later!"
The staff at Maple Leaf Zoo were all very happy. They pulled Mu Ling aside and asked her questions endlessly.
When they had almost asked enough questions, Producer Luo quickly interrupted with a smile on his face, "Hello, Director Mu. I'm a producer at Ancient Blue Star TV. My last name is Luo. Our TV station is currently preparing a variety show about animal rescue. I was wondering if you have time to accept our interview later?"
Mu Ling had seen this gentleman before. She thought he was also a staff member of the Maple Leaf Zoo. She didn't expect him to be from the TV station. She was a little confused: "Interview?"
Producer Luo was worried that the word "interview" might be too formal and put pressure on the young director who had come from afar, so he changed his tone and said, "It's just a few quick questions. It won't take you too long."
Mu Ling looked at Director Tang and Deputy Director Liu hesitantly.
Director Tang nodded and confirmed, "Producer Luo is a legitimate producer, not a liar."
Producer Luo: “…”
Since Director Tang said so, Mu Ling didn't think it was a big deal and said, "Okay, I have time and can accept the interview."
Producer Luo was very happy, so after Mu Ling explained some things to the side, he and Producer Luo went to interview outside the veterinary station. The cameraman also moved two chairs over for them to sit down and chat.
The whole interview lasted about an hour. It was a rare opportunity to meet an expert, so Producer Luo tried his best to get the most out of him. He not only asked all the questions he should ask, but also asked questions he shouldn't ask.
For example, age, hobbies, and standards for choosing a partner.
Mu Ling was stunned when she heard that there were criteria for choosing a spouse.
Producer Luo smiled and said, "Just say whatever you want."
Mu Ling thought for a moment and answered honestly, "I'm twenty years old. My hobby is building park facilities. My criteria for choosing a partner is that they just need to be a good person."
Producer Luo: “…”
Producer Luo was a little confused: "As long as he's a human being, it's fine. Why are the standards so low?"
Mu Ling hurriedly said, "It's not low. So far, those who have expressed their interest in courting me are not human."
Producer Luo: “???”
Category: "..."
In the end, producer Luo felt that he couldn't dig up any explosive news, so he had to give up. He expressed his gratitude to Mu Ling, and the two parties exchanged contact numbers. He said that if he had any questions in the future, he might bother Director Mu again.
Mu Ling naturally said no problem.
After finishing here, Producer Luo went to find Director Tang to continue the unfinished interview.
Mu Ling called the arrogant breeder and asked about how Kuangwang and the butcher were doing now.
She has been out for so long, so she can’t forget about her beloved butcher.
The arrogant breeder immediately turned on the video and showed her the surveillance footage, saying with great relief: "They've already entered the cave!"
If two black-clawed badgers have the intention to mate, the female badger will let the male badger into her den, and then it goes without saying what the two badgers do inside after closing the door.
Mu Ling looked at the hidden hole in the surveillance video, smiling like an auntie, and said with relief: "If nothing unexpected happens, our butcher will become a father in two months!"
The arrogant breeder said: "Kuangwang is going to be a mother too, that is..."
Mu Ling was puzzled: "What is it?"
The Arrogant Breeder sighed, "Arrogant is a war beast. Although he has retired, if his cubs are very talented, they will be sent to the War Beast Academy after they are one month old. At that time, the mother and cubs will be separated."
Mu Ling was stunned. She almost forgot this. War beasts have to go to school since they are young and have to adapt to getting along with people.
The arrogant breeder said worriedly: "I'm just afraid that the arrogant condition will get worse."
Yes, having a child and then losing it is indeed a huge blow to the mother animal.
Mu Ling thought of their little wolf, who had also undergone a physical examination before.
It inherited Qingjiao's genes and was detected to have C-level talent. According to federal regulations, animals with talents above B-level need to enter the War Beast Academy to learn to be war beasts, but animals below B-level do not need to do so.
The little wolf is held back by his father's genes and doesn't have to be a war beast, but Arrogant and Butcher are both S-level war beasts, and their children will definitely have high talent.
Mu Ling thought for a moment and said, "A cub doesn't stay a cub forever. It will grow up and become independent one day. In fact, in the animal world, mother animals don't necessarily need their children to be around all the time. For example, I watched a documentary before. There was a leopard daughter who relied on her parents every day and didn't produce anything. She just waited for her mother to hunt and then went to her to get food and drink. She would also eat even if her mother yelled at her. The main point was that she was shameless. Anyway, my mother would spoil me."
"Later, the mother leopard was furious. In order to give her daughter independent hunting skills and the ability to survive on her own, she abandoned her daughter and left the habitat. Then the leopard daughter found that her mother was gone and she could no longer rely on her. She was forced to learn how to hunt and how to face danger. After that, she learned many survival skills, and then she became pregnant with a little leopard during the estrus period. Finally, she also became a strong, brave and independent mother."
The arrogant breeder said, "I know what you mean. Growing pains are inevitable. Every animal is an independent individual and needs to grow on its own. But I'm just worried that Arrogant won't be able to handle it right away. He's already sick."
Mu Ling thought for a moment and said, "Then we can start thinking about how to comfort Kuang Wang after he lost his child. For example, even without a child, he still has other friends and family. Let Kuang Wang make more friends, maybe that can divert his attention. We have an S-rank black snow wolf in our park, named Qing Jian. He used to be obsessed with his son and couldn't forget his son wherever he went. But now, he has a new hobby. He is obsessed with teaching other female wolves how to raise children. He stays in their rooms every day. Although he always teaches incorrectly, he is always corrected by our other ear-horned tiger, Snow Flower. But now, he really doesn't pay much attention to his son. Sometimes when his son goes to sleep next to him, he will lick his son's fur at first, but in the middle of the night, his son wakes up and finds his mother is gone."
The arrogant breeder listened with amusement: "Indeed, if they are in a group environment, the impact may be smaller."
But where does Kuangwang's family have any relatives or friends? Kuangwang just retired and is now very withdrawn. He just met the butcher and finally became a little cheerful.
Wait, butcher...
The arrogant breeder's eyes suddenly stared at the monitoring screen like laser beams!
Mu Ling felt relieved after hearing what the arrogant breeder said. She thought she had comforted the man and was about to say a few more words when she heard some noise coming from inside the veterinary station.
She quickly hung up the phone and went in, seeing a veterinarian hurriedly coming out of Nini's ward, while inside, the "ga ga ga" roar of the Iron Bear was shrill and sharp!
Mu Ling asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Director He said with a headache: "Our veterinarian just went in for a routine checkup, and maybe Nini smelled a stranger's scent, so she suddenly woke up and started struggling."
Mu Ling went into the monitoring room to check the surveillance footage and saw that Nini had taken medicine and eaten a meal. She seemed to have recovered a little and was almost climbing out of bed.
If it moves, all the tubes on its body will fall off.
"No, we need to give it a sedative. It might hurt itself!" said an elderly veterinarian, and was about to leave. But after taking a step, he turned back and asked Mu Ling, "Director Mu, what do you think?"
Mu Ling stared at the surveillance camera for a while, then said, "Let me try again. Where are the three little animals?"
Deputy Director Liu said, "I took them out for a walk. I'll ask them to come back soon."
Mu Ling nodded, then put on protective clothing and entered the ward first.
In the ward, the withered and frail Iron Bear had struggled to crawl to the bedside with the strength he had finally gained. Several tubes on his body were stretched straight and were about to be torn apart.
Mu Ling quickly stopped her: "Nini, no!"
When Iron Bear saw humans appear, it immediately had a strong stress reaction. It bared its teeth and stared at Mu Ling with anger, while its sharp claws almost pierced through the edge of the iron bed.
I have to say, this fighting ability is really strong. Just by recovering a little bit of strength, he was able to scratch through the bed board.
Mu Ling walked forward slowly. Because she didn't spray deodorant this time, the smell on her body was stronger.
Tiexiong smelled the familiar scent and was stunned...
Mu Ling said softly: "Nini, don't be like this, sister is not a bad person, sister will not hurt Nini."
"Ga ga!!" Tie Xiong was still yelling, but as he yelled, he stretched his nose forward and sniffed carefully.
Mu Ling continued to approach it: "Let's not move, okay? Do you want to eat bamboo shoots?"
Mu Ling took out a handful of bamboo shoot tips from her pocket. They were either sliced or normal bamboo shoots, but with only the tips.
Mu Ling threw a piece of bamboo shoot from far away and landed it on the belly of the black and white bear.
The black and white bear shook his whole body, then lowered his head, looked at the bamboo shoots on his belly, and tried to grab them.
Giant pandas have a pseudo-thumb, which they use to grasp.
It grabbed the tip of the bamboo shoot and put it into its mouth, chewing it.
Mu Ling praised: "Oh, our Nini's hands are so flexible, Nini's hands are even more flexible than her sister's. Does this mean that Nini is better than her sister? Yes, that must be the case!"
After finishing a piece of bamboo shoot tip, Iron Bear's dark eyes turned towards Mu Ling again, and then it bared its teeth and roared again: "Ga!"
Mu Ling threw another bamboo shoot tip over.
Iron Bear grabbed it and ate it, then cried again. Iron Bear seemed to have discovered that as long as it got angry, this human would offer it food, so it never tired of threatening the human to give it more delicious food.
At this moment, it had completely forgotten that it had been on a hunger strike and would not eat on its own initiative...
Anyway, when the iron bear has finished eating, it doesn’t need to catch food itself anymore, humans will feed it directly into its mouth.
Mu Ling fed the last piece of bamboo shoot into the cute black and white bear's mouth. After the black and white bear finished eating, it licked Mu Ling's palm and wanted more.
Mu Ling spread out her hands and said, "No more."
The black and white bear didn't believe it, so it moved closer, nudged Mu Ling's waist with its nose, and sniffed the pockets of her clothes. It saw that there were bamboo shoots inside.
Mu Ling simply turned her pocket over to show it, and it was indeed gone.
Monokuma was a little unhappy. He turned around and moved around on the bed, wanting to leave.
Mu Ling was busy stroking its fur again, and coaxed it softly, "You're still recuperating, so you can't eat so many bamboo shoots. You need to drink more milk, okay?"
The black and white bear's clumsy and withered body turned several directions. Because there was always a hand pressing on it, it couldn't move freely. It was not happy and turned around to roar at Mu Ling: "Ga!"
Mu Ling continued to stroke its forehead: "Okay, okay, I got it. I want to eat bamboo shoots. Can we eat bamboo shoots in the evening?"
Seeing that the human didn't let go of his hand, the black and white bear moved closer and angrily hit her with its head.
Mu Ling hugged the big bear, hugged its head, rubbed its ears and the hair on the back of its neck, and said, "Be good, our Nini is the best."
"Ga..." The black and white bear's roar became a little softer.
"Nini is the most sensible and the most obedient child."
"Ga..." This time the black and white bear only made a breathy sound.
But it still went to sniff Mu Ling's clothes pocket again. It clearly smelled of bamboo shoots, so it bit a corner of Mu Ling's clothes.
Mu Ling laughed: "What are you doing? Don't you want me to leave? Then I will stay and accompany our Nini."
Mu Ling said, and simply sat on the bed, sitting with Black and White Bear, and then comforted: "Wait until the uncles and aunts outside have prepared the basins of milk, and then give it to Nini to drink."
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Mu Ling got out of bed and went to the door to get the bottle. When she was about to close the door, Director He blocked it and forced in a large bag of bamboo shoots.
Mu Ling didn't answer and said, "You really can't feed it this for the time being. It's best for it to eat liquid food now."
Director He was heartbroken: "But Nini wants to eat, let her eat, I beg you, it's rare for her to eat on her own initiative!"
Mu Ling: “…”
Facing the doting parents, Principal Mu was very ruthless: "It must be based on the nutritional ratio."
After saying that, she forced the door shut, ignored Director He's tearful eyes, and walked towards the bed with the bottle.
On the hospital bed, Nini's neck was already straightened up, and she looked towards Mu Ling curiously. When Mu Ling sat down beside the bed and put the bottle in front of her mouth, she took the bottle in her mouth with a howl and then sipped the milk.
Mu Ling lifted the bottom of the bottle so that Nini could drink the milk more smoothly. After finishing the bottle of milk, Nini licked her lips and finally yawned again, feeling sleepy.
How can I not feel sleepy? Something has been added to the milk.
After a while, the black and white bear hugged one of Mu Ling's arms, leaned beside Mu Ling, and began to snore softly.
After Nini fell asleep, Mu Ling got out of bed quietly and walked out of the ward.
As soon as they went out, as if expecting something, Mu Ling was the first to say, "Stop!"
A group of people who were about to applaud stopped abruptly.
Mu Ling narrowly avoided a second social demise. She waved her hand and said, "Let's talk in the surveillance room."
Everyone entered the monitoring room and looked at Tiexiong, who had fallen asleep again on the monitor. Everyone was silent.
Even Mu Ling remained silent.
At this point, everyone discovered that the reason why Nini was stable was not because of the three little animals, but because Nini... recognized Mu Ling.
Maybe it was because of her baby bird complex, or maybe it was because the first milk Nini drank after waking up was fed by Mu Ling. In short, even though she was repulsed by the smell of other people, only when Mu Ling came in could Nini remain calm.
In this case, the situation becomes very passive.
Nini recognized Mu Ling, but Mu Ling was not from the Maple Leaf Zoo. She brought the animals here for a blind date. I heard that the black-clawed badger had a particularly smooth blind date. It was estimated that in two or three days at most, the badger would leave after the blind date.
But Nini's recovery cannot be completed in two or three days.
All the staff members of Maple Leaf Zoo looked at Deputy Director Liu and Director He.
Deputy Director Liu and Director He looked at each other in bewilderment. What else could they do? Director Mu already had such a large wildlife park on the God King Planet. Could they poach him over?
Deputy Director Liu and Director He could only pretend to be dead, and at this time, Director Tang came back.
Director Tang heard during the interview that something had happened to Nini, so he hurried back. When he came in and checked the surveillance footage, everything was normal. Wasn't Nini fine?
Deputy Director Liu immediately played the surveillance footage to Director Tang and asked him to watch it again.
After reading it, Director Tang also fell silent.
After a moment, Director Tang asked Mu Ling, "Director Mu, do you have any suggestions for Nini's current situation?"
Mu Ling licked her lips and said with some hesitation, "In fact, some of the animals in our park were more familiar with me at first, but as they gradually recovered, they now also recognize other keepers. They take medicine and eat, and they don't reject it when our veterinarian gives them injections."
Director Tang listened, nodded, and said to Deputy Director Liu and Director He, "Let's talk outside."
The three leaders went outside to talk, and the rest of the people looked at each other in confusion. Mu Ling then quietly approached Brother Xiang and whispered, "I feel like I'm in trouble."
Xiang Bie looked at her and said calmly, "Without you, Tiexiong's situation will only be worse."
Mu Ling sighed: "Their staff should be allowed to go in, not me."
Just like their war beast nursery, Mu Ling usually assigns individual keepers to take care of the animals from the moment they arrive at the park. This is also to cultivate a stable relationship between the war beasts and the keepers.
After a while, several leaders came in again. Director Tang expressed the hope that Mu Ling could spare some time to help them take care of Nini in the next few days. Of course, the help was not free. They would pay Mu Ling double the consultation fee according to the fee of the invited expert.
Mu Ling hurriedly said that there was no charge. She said that she would be guarding the butcher in the park for the next few days anyway, so she could just run back and forth, and it wouldn't delay anything.
Deputy Director Liu said that the fees must be paid, and asked where Mu Ling and the others were living now. If they didn't mind, he could arrange two dormitories for them to stay in temporarily, as the place was close and easier to take care of.
Mu Ling thought that Nini's current situation was special and it would be best for her to stay in the park, so she asked Brother Xiang to cancel the hotel room.
When Xiang Bie went to check out, Maple Leaf Zoo sent a car to take him there. After he checked out, the staff was also very smart to help him carry his luggage. In short, they made sure to take care of the expert team comfortably.
That evening, at six o'clock.
Director Tang personally contacted Nini's owner, Colonel Ming Yu of the Yak Star.
Ming Yu hadn't finished get off work yet. He had just returned from supporting Nurha Star. Because he had suffered some minor injuries, his left arm was still in a cast. He was flipping through documents with one hand.
When Ming Yu received the call from Director Tang, his expression became visibly ugly.
In fact, before he was seconded to Nurha Star, Director He of Maple Leaf Zoo contacted him and said that Nini's condition had not improved in a year. If she had to go through several more major rescue operations, she might...
Colonel Ming already had a ptsd about Director He's communication, and now, the person who contacted him was not even Director He, but Director Tang of Maple Leaf Zoo.
Ming Yu took a deep breath. The usually dignified and cold young man was now pinching the corner of the table with his fingers, almost breaking it.
He was very afraid of hearing the worst news, but he knew in his heart that the worst news should be not far away from him.
His breathing was a little unsteady. After a while, Ming Yu said, "Hello, Director Tang..."
Director Tang on the other end of the line said, "Colonel Ming, this is the case. I have something I want to discuss with you."
Here it comes, it’s here as expected.
In an instant, the sickle above his head seemed to swing down, chopping Ming Yu into pieces.
It goes without saying what they were discussing: whether Nini could be euthanized.
Discuss whether this powerless method can be used to end Nini's short and painful life.
The fingers that were holding the corner of the table slipped away as if they were weak. Colonel Ming had difficulty breathing and raised his hand to support his forehead. His heart sank to the point of being invisible.
His throat was hoarse and he said with difficulty: "You go ahead."
Director Tang said, "We're thinking, why not try transferring Nini to the Beak Zoo on the God King Planet?"
There was a dead silence on the other end of the line.
After Director Tang finished speaking, he waited for Colonel Ming to reply, but there was no sound from the other end. Director Tang was stunned for a moment, then looked at his computer and saw that he hadn't hung up. He asked tentatively, "Colonel Ming? Colonel Ming..."
"Bick Zoo?" Colonel Ming's voice appeared again, with a slight tremor.
Director Tang said, "Yes, Nini fainted again today. Director Mu from the Piccolo Zoo happened to be on a business trip and met us. He helped take care of Nini, and then..."
Perhaps it was difficult to describe what happened afterwards, so Director Tang sighed and said, "I'll send you a video, and you can decide after watching it."
Director Tang sent the surveillance video to General Ming and then hung up.
In the office here, Colonel Ming downloaded the video and clicked play with trembling hands.
The surveillance video was very clear and the whole process was very long. Director Tang did not know how to edit it, so he sent the entire surveillance video. Colonel Ming then watched the entire video.
After reading it, he was silent for a moment and read it again.
Director Tang here waited from dusk till night. He looked at the time and it was already past ten o'clock. Normally at this time, he would have gone to bed as his health was not as good as before.
His wife also came to urge him to go to bed, but Director Tang just waved his hand and indicated to wait a little longer.
Then, at eleven o'clock, Director Tang finally couldn't wait any longer, and he sent another message to Colonel Ming, wanting to ask him if he was busy with other things in the middle of the day. If he was too busy today, they could discuss it tomorrow.
The call was answered within seconds. Just as Director Tang was about to speak, he heard Colonel Ming's puzzled voice: "Who is this Iron Bear?"
Director Tang: “…”
"Isn't it Nini?"
Colonel Ming's voice was very firm: "I've watched it four times. It looks a lot like Nini, but it's not Nini, right? How could Nini do such a thing? Even before it retired, it wouldn't throw itself into my arms, nor would it hold my arms until it fell asleep. Damn it, what have you done to my Nini! Where on earth did my Nini go!"
Director Tang wanted to hang up the phone and let Colonel Ming, who had broken through the defense, calm down on his own.
I can't continue chatting tonight...
