Chapter 4
Mu Ling was completely confused by the long-tailed raccoon's sudden action.
The furry touch on your fingertips is as soft as cotton.
The long-tailed raccoon rubbed against her for a moment, then turned its head and stared at Mu Ling in the car with its cold vertical pupils.
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling's CPU is almost burned out.
No, what does this cat want to do? Is he really moved by her meat strips and wants to get close to her?
But it didn't eat a single bite.
Mu Ling stared at Brother Mao in confusion.
But at this moment, the long-tailed raccoon turned around, jumped off the tire, and ran quickly into the woods and disappeared.
-
The situation along the creek was dire.
Wei Li used a branch to turn over the body of a four-meter-long python and looked at the python's fatal part.
This python is not a snake from the park.
There are only three pythons in their park, and this one is not one of them.
This is a native python that ran out from the deep forest. If you have seen such a long python before, you will definitely remember it, so this is a python that ran out recently.
Sure enough, there were loopholes in other places in the protective net.
Wei Li thought so and lifted the python's sebum again, and saw the python's esophagus.
The esophagus had been completely torn apart, but it could be seen that the python was still digesting some food before it died...
It was a rabbit. Wei Li saw a rotten rabbit head. It was a golden rabbit!
No wonder there are no traces of golden rabbits nearby. They must have encountered a python and were scared away.
But how did this python die? This python was very big and even stronger than the pythons in their park. Under normal circumstances, there were small animals around. Which small animal had the ability to kill a python?
Wei Li stood up and walked forward along the stream bank.
The further we went, the worse its face looked, and there were traces of blood on the ground...
"who!"
At this moment, Wei Li suddenly looked up and reflexively clicked the anesthetic gun at his waist.
Before he could unholster his gun, Wei Li's face lit up when he saw the man coming out of the woods opposite him: "Brother Xiang!"
The man opposite was wearing a brown field suit and black mountain boots. He also had a gun in his hand. When he saw that it was Wei Li on the other side, his sharp eyelids drooped slightly, he put the gun back into the holster, and walked over.
Wei Li went up to him with a smile: "Brother Xiang, why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the inner circle?"
The man didn't say anything. He lowered his eyes, first looking at the bloodstains on the ground, then followed the path back to look at the spotted python that died on the bank of the stream.
His face was stern, his lips pursed tightly. "The protective net in the southeast was damaged. When I saw it, I guessed a large animal had entered, so I followed the traces all the way here."
Wei Li also looked back at the python: "Is this the snake?"
Xiang Bie: “It should be.”
Wei Li asked, "But how did it die? The wounds are so messy, I can't tell what animal hurt it..."
Xiang Bie pondered for a moment and said, "Tear Tiger."
Wei Li's eyes widened. "Tearing Tiger? Qilin?"
There is only one tearing tiger in the park, named Qilin, which was once the war beast of Colonel Val, commander of the third team of the Northwest War Zone.
Qilin is a war beast that Colonel Val raised from a young age when he was in military school. They have a deep bond and have fought side by side for eight years. Qilin itself is also very brave and has extremely high talent. It is a rare S-level war beast. However, in a battle, Qilin was seriously injured in order to protect Colonel Val and had to retire.
After an S-class war beast is injured, its mental strength will become even more abnormal. It cannot be raised by its owner or the government and retired properly like other ordinary retired war beasts. S-class war beasts are more sensitive and suspicious, and are autistic and resistant. Forcibly locking it up or keeping it in a cage will only force it to stop eating and drinking, and become depressed and suicidal.
Colonel Val originally sent Qilin to the Beak Zoo because it was the largest wildlife park in the entire galaxy, and it provided Qilin with more space to move freely.
Qilin has been here for seven months now, but its physical condition has never been good. It is too resistant to treatment and resists all humans and even other animals' approach. Last week, Brother Xiang said that Qilin was probably dying. Wei Li quickly called Colonel Val, and Colonel Val said that he would take a long vacation as soon as possible and come to the God King Star to accompany Qilin through his last period.
But Colonel Val hasn't arrived yet. Could it be that Qilin is about to...
Wei Li looked at the blood on the ground again. If the python was killed by Qilin, then the blood must be Qilin's. But Qilin itself was in very poor health. After losing so much blood, it would definitely not be able to hold on.
Wei Li couldn't imagine how bad its situation was now!
"Look for Qilin." Xiang Bie said concisely.
Wei Li hurriedly said, "Okay! Let's search separately!"
There were only a few pools of blood on this side, and there was no blood ahead. It should have been washed away by the stream, but Qilin was seriously injured and could not have walked too far, so he must be nearby.
Wei Li didn't even bother to go back and tell Mu Ling at this moment, but Mu Ling had been waiting for him obediently in the car before, and he also told her that it was not safe in the jungle, and he believed that she would not run around.
-
"Brother Cat, is this the place?"
Mu Ling, who had betrayed Wei Li's trust, was now standing in front of a bush in the woods.
Just now, after the long-tailed raccoon turned around and ran away, Mu Ling thought it would never come back. Unexpectedly, it came back in less than a minute and came to ask Mu Ling for meat strips.
Mu Ling fed the dog a piece of meat, and it left with the meat in its mouth. After going back and forth three or four times, Mu Ling realized that the long-tailed raccoon was delivering something, and it did not show any intention of attacking her. So Mu Ling plucked up her courage and opened the car window a little more.
This width is enough for a cat to jump in, but the raccoon did not jump in and did not attack Mu Ling.
Mu Ling became even bolder this time. When feeding the cat meat strips, she also secretly touched the cat's head, and the raccoon did not resist.
However, seeing that the cat was running back and forth like this, it was too tiring, so Mu Ling simply got out of the car, picked up the fallen meat strips, and went with it.
Of course, Mu Ling was not so careless. She saw that the cat only took one minute to go back and forth, so she knew that the place where it delivered the things would not be far away, at most within a few dozen meters nearby, so she dared to follow it.
Now they stopped in front of a bush. There were four or five strips of meat piled on the ground, which were obviously delivered by the long-tailed raccoon.
Mu Ling saw the raccoon dog standing on the branch, looking at her intently. She was also sensible and immediately took out all the meat strips and placed them on the pile of meat strips. Then she shook the empty bag and said to the raccoon dog, "Look, it's gone. I gave it all to you. There's not a drop left."
The long-tailed raccoon jumped down from the branch, sniffed the cloth bag, and confirmed that there were really no meat strips left. Then he used his claws to dig out a few meat strips that had fallen a little far away and put them away.
Mu Ling found it quite amusing. She actually suspected that there might be a mother cat and a litter of kittens in the bushes?
Because the behavior of the long-tailed raccoon is really like a cat father who brings food to his wife and children.
Thinking of this, Mu Ling wanted to see the kittens. It was not because she was curious, but mainly because the kittens were born in their zoo, which meant they were legal animals in their zoo. Mu Ling thought that since she had already met them, she would confirm the number of kittens by the way, and then tell Brother Wei to order vaccines for the kittens when she went back.
Mu Ling was afraid of angering the long-tailed raccoon, so she could only tiptoe and peek into the bushes.
But even with such a small movement, the long-tailed raccoon actually noticed it. It instantly returned to its ferocious appearance when it had provoked Mu Ling before, revealing its long nails, arching its high back hair, and roaring at Mu Ling: "Ha!"
Mu Ling was startled and quickly denied: "No! I didn't see it!"
But the long-tailed raccoon did not relax, it forced Mu Ling to continue retreating!
Mu Ling had no choice but to retreat...
But at this moment, as if sensing a sound outside, there was also movement in the bushes.
Then the next second, a huge golden creature suddenly jumped out.
Because the long-tailed raccoon was standing in front of Mu Ling, closest to the bushes, when the huge creature came out, it pounced on the long-tailed raccoon like an agile soldier.
The heavy tiger claws pressed down on the long-tailed raccoon's back tightly, pressing the long-tailed raccoon into the soft grass. The huge tiger mouth pressed against the long-tailed raccoon's neck at the same time, and the sharp teeth immediately pierced a bloody hole in the back of the long-tailed raccoon's neck.
Holy crap!!!
Mu Ling was shocked by this sudden change!
tiger!
Hiding in the bushes was actually a tiger!
At the same time, the long-tailed raccoon's shrill screams rang in my ears.
Mu Ling saw that the long-tailed raccoon was almost dead. It was being held down by the tiger, and the hair on its neck was becoming increasingly red with blood!
No, this isn't the blood of a raccoon...
Feeling that she couldn't escape, Mu Ling was about to climb up the tree, but when she looked closely, she saw a large blood spot on the front paw of the golden tiger.
Looking up, blood was flowing from the tiger's back. It seemed to be seriously injured, with bloodstains all over its body. Even the wound on its hind leg was black, as if it had been poisoned.
Looking at the tiger's posture, it seems agile, swift and powerful, but its teeth cannot close at all. It cannot bite off the long-tailed raccoon's neck. Although its front paws are huge, its hind half is almost dragging on the ground.
Both of its hind legs were injured. The right hind leg was bleeding black blood as if it was poisoned, and the left hind leg was probably an old injury with deformed bones, which affected its movement.
And just as Mu Ling was observing the tiger, the tiger seemed to have exhausted its last bit of strength.
The long-tailed raccoon suddenly escaped from its claws, which meant that its claws had no strength left.
The long-tailed raccoon hadn't run far with its tail between its legs when the tiger stared at the grass beneath it with its dark eyes. Its body tilted and with a bang, its huge body fell straight to the ground and couldn't get up.
When it fell, its eyes were still half open, but part of its tongue was sticking out.
Mu Ling is not a doctor. She studied pharmaceutical research in college, specializing in pharmaceutical manufacturing, not clinical practice. But she studied medicine after all, so she could still see the external symptoms of an animal before it died.
This tiger is dying. If you leave it alone, its heart will stop beating in less than a minute.
Almost instinctively, Mu Ling rushed forward immediately.
Humans and animals have different structures, and doctors who treat humans may not be able to treat animals. However, after knowing that she was going to open a zoo, Mu Ling did her best to catch up on some veterinary knowledge.
This tiger needs emergency care!
