Chapter 48
In the second round of recruitment, Mu Ling finally recruited another 31 staff members.
Thirty of them are breeders and one is a veterinarian.
The veterinarian started work within a week, and the thirty breeders were able to start work the next day.
However, after joining the company, they cannot start work immediately and need a few days of emergency training. Therefore, Mu Ling decided to start increasing the number of tourists from September 25th.
Considering that tickets are currently sold in advance, Mu Ling has to tell netizens three days in advance.
Mu Ling chose to shoot a video explanation.
-
September 22nd, a little after ten in the morning.
In the residential area of Planet 917, cold gunshots rang out one after another, mixed with the screams of men and women, and the fierce and fierce roars of beasts.
"Ha!" A majestic tiger roar erupted from the mouth of a giant white tiger. The white tiger was wearing armor, and its head, vest, and belly, three fatal parts, were all protected by armor. There were still a few pieces of alien beast's flesh hanging between its scarlet teeth. It pounced forward and bit the alien wolf's throat, accompanied by the alien wolf's resistance and struggle.
"Bang!" The gunshot rang out again, and the alien wolf did not move.
"Ice cream, let go!"
The master of the white tiger gave orders to his war beast, and the white tiger finally spit out the alien wolf's throat. It licked its teeth, and the alien wolf's blood on the tip of its tongue was still hot.
The owner put the small-mouthed water bottle into the white tiger's mouth, then held the bottle upside down and fed the white tiger nutritious water like a feeding bottle.
While Baihu was gulping down the water, another team of logistical support arrived.
A petite Persian cat sat on the shoulder of a soldier in green uniform. The cat nimbly jumped off its owner, nimbly stepped over the ferocious white tiger and the dead wolf, and ran into the innermost shanty.
This residential area is full of shanty houses, and this is where the poorest people on Planet 917 live.
The Persian cat finally stopped in front of the wooden cabinet in the house. It meowed softly and looked back at its owner.
The uniformed soldier followed the Persian cat in, holding a gun in one hand. He held the gun in one hand and carefully opened the cabinet door with the other hand.
The next second, two shivering little girls were seen hugging each other tightly in the closet, looking at the strangers outside with fear.
The soldier put down his gun and used the shoulder intercom to tell the headquarters: "The search and rescue team found two surviving children in Area C of the shantytown. I repeat, the search and rescue team found two surviving children in Area C of the shantytown..."
At the same time, outside the door, the white tiger's owner was feeding the white tiger water while reporting on the intercom: "The clearance team killed a high-level infected wolf in Shantytown Area C. I repeat, the clearance team killed a high-level infected wolf in Shantytown Area C..."
Planet 917 has been under a planet-wide martial law since the outbreak of the alien beast tide. Now, almost two months have passed, and the cleanup operation is still not over.
At the headquarters center, Senior Colonel Yin Lingyun, who was in charge of the clearing and rescue operations throughout the shantytown, listened to the report and replied in a deep voice, "Continue to advance."
At the same time, Colonel Yin looked at the surveillance camera on the side. Through the cameras following each front-line soldier, he could understand the current situation of the entire shantytown.
The deputy general beside him said solemnly: "We are still short of war birds. If we had enough war birds, the search and rescue mission..."
When the deputy general said this, another lieutenant next to him suddenly pushed him.
The deputy general was stunned and looked at his immediate superior awkwardly: "Boss, that's not what I meant..."
Yin Lingyun had a blank expression on his face, his hands on his hips, still staring at the screen: "It's okay."
The second lieutenant pulled the adjutant aside and rebuked him in a low voice: "Why are you talking about war birds? It makes the old man feel uncomfortable."
The deputy general was also very annoyed: "I just forgot for a moment. When Tayun was here, we never suffered such hardships. Now we can only rely on a few investigations. Such a large shantytown, how much more dangerous it is."
The second lieutenant sighed, "The boss has already applied to the higher-ups, saying they want to borrow a few more warbirds from other military regions. Warbirds are the most efficient for urban clearance operations."
The deputy general pursed his lips and said, "Borrowed ones won't work as well as our own. We'll have to spend time getting used to them..."
"Then what else can we do? Forget about Tayun. He's been retired for over a year! Every time you say that, the boss gets upset!"
"I understand. I won't say anything more."
The two of them thought they were speaking quietly, but in fact, Yin Lingyun heard their entire conversation.
Telling himself not to be distracted, Yin Lingyun forced himself to focus back on the surveillance.
At this time, a soldier walked in quickly and whispered, "Colonel, there's some information coming from the federal headquarters. I want you to use your personal computer to receive it."
After entering the war zone, private optical computers will be forcibly confiscated. Although Yin Lingyun is a member of the management, he also needs to hand over the optical computer.
After hearing what the soldier said, Yin Lingyun turned and walked to the next room. He found his own computer among a pile of computers and turned it on.
After successfully booting up the phone, he clicked on the address book. He was originally waiting for information, but suddenly, he saw a communication group.
This communication group called "Loving One Garden People" is mixed in with his other colleagues' groups, and there is a conspicuous 99+ in the upper right corner.
Did a colleague group change its name?
Yin Lingyun clicked on it out of curiosity, then frowned.
He doesn't know this group and has never joined it. What kind of group is this?
Yin Lingyun looked at the names of the group members suspiciously: Colonel Val, Lieutenant Herman, Lieutenant General Milo, Commander Duan...
Judging from their titles, they were all military management, but he didn't recognize any of them.
At this time, the group was still chatting.
Commander Duan: [[Qilin picture][Picture of Invincible][Lightning picture], I took these at the entrance this morning when Director Mu was feeding me. Please take them as you please.]
Colonel Val: [@Commander Duan, may good people live in peace. Qilin's bandages are a little less today!]
Commander Duan: [@Colonel Val, yes, Director Mu said Qilin's bandages will be completely removed in a couple of days.]
Lieutenant Colonel Song: [@Commander Duan, is Pimi really doing well in the animal dorm? Since Pimi moved in the day before yesterday, I've been watching videos online, but it seems like Pimi is isolated. In every video, he's huddled alone in the corner. Could Director Mu please send him back to the veterinary station?]
Commander Duan: [@Lieutenant Colonel Song, Director Mu said Pimi is slowly integrating. No beast is isolating it, but Pimi is naturally wary and unwilling to get too close to other beasts. It should be fine in a couple of days.]
Lieutenant Herman: [@Commander Duan, Commander Duan, has the lightning damage value decreased recently? Director Mu said she tests it every day, but only releases the results once a month. I'm so anxious.]
Commander Duan: [@Lieutenant Herman, they do test animals every day, but they do so at the veterinary station. Except for my Magic, who was tested at the entrance, so I could see it. Other animals are tested by people other than zoo staff, so don't worry. I see Lightning is doing well, fighting with Cloudwalker every day.]
Walking on the clouds?
Yin Lingyun's deep eyes suddenly froze. He stared at the two words "Tayun" closely, and his lips slowly pursed into a straight line... Is this someone's prank?
The chat in the group was still going on at this time.
Commander Duan: [[Magic teasing the wolf cub with his nose picture][Magic water spraying picture][Magic changing medicine picture][Magic sleeping picture][Magic eating winter melon picture], @Lieutenant Herman, look, Lightning is playing very healthily.]
Lieutenant Hermann: [? Where? I only saw magic...]
Commander Duan: [When Magic was teasing the wolf cub with his nose, I caught a black leg in the lower left corner. That's Lightning's hind leg. When Magic was spraying water, the black ball lying on the cat climbing frame in the upper right corner was also Lightning. When Magic was changing the medicine, look at the tree canopy in the upper left corner. Lightning is in a bird's nest in the tree canopy, with his eyes exposed.]
Lieutenant Hermann: [……]
Lieutenant Herman: [...It's a little hard to see clearly, but thank you all the same. Look at the hind legs, Lightning must have been running. Look at the black mass on the cat climbing frame, Lightning must have been licking his fur. Look at the eyes hidden in the treetops, the pupils are vertical, Lightning must have been relaxed.]
Commander Duan: [@Lieutenant Herman, I'll take more photos of the lightning for you after the opening at 3:00 PM.]
Lieutenant Herman: [@Commander Duan, thank you very much! ! ! !]
Colonel Val: [@Commander Duan, could you please take more photos of Qilin? Thank you very much!!!]
Lieutenant Colonel Song: [@Commander Duan, could you please take more photos of Pimi? Thank you very much!!!]
Lieutenant General Milo: [@Commander Duan, can you take a picture of the moonlight? @Xiangbie has been very busy every day since the zoo opened, and I haven't seen the moonlight in a long time.]
Commander Duan: [@Lieutenant General Mylo, I can’t see him either.]
Lieutenant General Milo: [Okay, thank you again.]
“Buzz buzz buzz.”
The vibrating sound of data transmission brought Yin Lingyun back from his confusion.
Yin Lingyun looked at the words "Transferring" at the top of the screen, took a deep breath, and continued to look at the pictures in the group.
Yin Lingyun felt as if he was dazzled. He actually saw Tayun in the several photos of giant elephants sent by Commander Duan?
When the giant elephant was playing with a wolf cub, Tayun stood on the giant elephant's head. When the giant elephant was spraying water, Tayun flew away from the giant elephant's head. When the giant elephant was changing its dressing, Tayun stepped on a young girl's shoulder and rubbed the girl's ear with his forehead. When the giant elephant was sleeping, Tayun rested on the giant elephant's head. When the giant elephant was eating winter melon, Tayun also took a bite of the winter melon.
Is that stepping on the cloud?
It must be Stepping Cloud!
He raised Tayun for eighteen years!
How could he mistakenly recognize his own son?
But, but... didn't Tayun get a wing softening injection? Didn't Tayun disappear from the zoo where she was sent?
Why does Tayun in the photo live with elephants, tigers, lions, leopards and wolves?
Why, it still flies?
What happened, what happened?
Yin Lingyun placed his finger on the screen and quickly typed a line of words. Just as he was about to send it, a link came in the group.
Colonel Val: [[Video link] Just saw it, Director Mu has posted a new video.]
The fingers that were typing the text paused, Yin Lingyun pursed his lips, and clicked on the video first.
As soon as the video opens, the first thing that catches the eye is a pair of shrewd golden eagle eyes.
Yin Lingyun looked at the familiar eagle eyes, his eyes suddenly widened, and his breathing became difficult.
Stepping on the clouds, it’s really stepping on the clouds!
At this time, a woman's voice came from the video: "Master Ta, can you play by yourself? This old slave wants to take a video."
The camera then pulled away, and Yin Lingyun saw that Tayun was actually standing on a thin woman's arm. The arm was shaking, and it was obvious that it had been carrying the giant eagle for quite some time.
Finally, when the giant eagle felt that its arm seemed unstable, it flapped its wings and flew high. After circling in the sky, it landed on a cat climbing frame.
"Huh." The girl, whose face couldn't be seen in the video, let out a light breath, shook her arms, and said cheerfully, "Hi, everyone, nice to see you again. Today I'll give you an immersive tour of what our animal dormitories look like on a daily basis."
The camera first shot a wide angle, capturing the entire glass house, which was about the size of four basketball courts.
"This is the first view of the animal quarters from the main gate. This is the swimming pool. There are two pools. The big one is for the animals to swim and play in the water, and the small one is for Magic to drink water. This is the dining room. The golden basin is Qilin's food basin. The black one is Lightning's, Qing's is gray, Pimei's is brown, and Tadao's is white. Magic's is not a basin, but a cart. He eats from two carts in one meal."
"Inside, it's the play area. Look at all these toys. They have to be cleaned up every day, and after they're done, they're all over the room again. Oh, and let me put on a show for everyone."
As the girl spoke, she picked up a toy snake and threw it into the sky.
With the next kick, the giant eagle spread its wings and swooped down, grabbing the toy snake in one bite, then biting the toy snake's seven inches and skillfully picking open the cotton at the position of the snake's gallbladder.
The camera captured the giant eagle's hunting action in an instant, making it look heroic. Yin Lingyun, who was thousands of miles away, felt his blood boiling just watching it!
"Oh, the thread has tangled again. It's okay. I'll sew some tonight. Did you see that? Our Tayun's reaction speed is really extraordinary. He practices hunting every day and never stops. At first, he tried to catch those dolls, but the dolls were too big and not suitable for his claws. So I bought him some small toys like snakes and mice, which made it much easier to practice..."
The female voice muttered a little, "Actually, I don't want it to practice. Someone told me it practices hunting to find a mate... Never mind. If it wants to practice, let it practice. We can deal with other things later."
The girl laughed thoughtfully and turned the camera away from the giant eagle to the cushion in front.
"That's the rest area over there. Let's go over there and play with Qilin."
The girl gradually walked to the side of the golden tiger, then she sat down and rubbed the tiger's ears.
The golden tiger remained motionless throughout the entire process, except for the fact that its ears moved twice when they were rubbed.
"Wow." At this moment, a black leopard shadow suddenly jumped down from the tree branch, and then, it slipped in smoothly, and the leopard's black head arched directly under the girl's arm.
"Hahaha." The girl laughed and hugged the leopard's head: "You clingy little thing, aren't you going to guard your bird's nest? If you leave, Tayun will return to the nest."
The black panther's body collapsed, and he rested his head on the girl's thighs. He looked up at the girl, and his tail swayed behind him.
The girl grabbed its tail.
The black panther's tail stopped moving.
Girls let go.
The panther's tail began to wag again.
The girl grabbed its tail again.
The black panther's tail stopped moving again.
"It's fun, isn't it?" the girl said to the camera, "Lightning's tail is soft and long, and it can be curled up."
As she spoke, the girl really coiled the tail into the shape of a mosquito coil bit by bit.
The camera was aimed at the mosquito coil plate, and the black panther shook its tail, which turned from a mosquito coil tail into a normal tail.
"Let me show you our new toys. We just bought them yesterday, so you probably haven't seen them yet."
As the girl spoke, she turned the camera to the other side, where there was a cylindrical animal treadmill.
"The war beasts need exercise, but there's not much space in the animal dormitories for them to do so. This is the only way they can exercise. However, it's only a short-term inconvenience. After their injuries have healed, they should return to the mountain. By then, the mountain is so big, they can run around freely."
The girl continued, "But by then, you probably won't be able to see them much. So, in order to allow more visitors to see the war beasts in our animal dormitories sooner, starting from September 25th, Beak Zoo will open an extra thousand visitor spots per day. Tickets for the 25th can be purchased today. You should be able to see the extra thousand tickets when you buy them later..."
"Okay, that's it for today's video. See you in the next video."
The video ended here. Yin Lingyun looked at the black screen in front of him, but he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
It was not until he was silent for a full thirty seconds that he finally realized what was happening and clicked on the comment section of the video.
The video was posted ten minutes ago, but at this time, there are already more than 9,000 messages in the comment section.
[She posted a video! My wife finally posted a video! She's still not going to show her face? Hahaha, but everyone knows you now!]
Ahhhh, the number of visitors has finally increased. I'm sure I'll be able to get a ticket this time, I definitely will! 】
Two thousand tickets sounds like twice as many, but it's still too few. I don't think I'll be able to get one!
[Don't panic, take a screenshot first. Look at my profile picture. From now on, I will live the rest of my life with a lightning-fast mosquito coil tail on my head! ]
[It must be said, the director is a bit arrogant. He even dared to pull the leopard's tail and twist it around casually. He didn't turn around and bite your neck off. He really has a good temper!]
[? Why would Lightning bite his wife? Lightning is the one who sticks to his wife the most!]
【I want to see PIVOT QAQ……】
【I want to watch Moonlight QAQ...】
[Honey, can you please be more evenhanded next time and interact with every beast? Today, my Invincible Powder, Moonlight Powder, Magic Powder, Cleansing Powder, and Little Wolf Powder are about to break... but you only interacted with Stepping Cloud, Qilin, and Lightning. Sooooooooooo!]
[Okay, I know there are 2,000 tickets now, delete the video!]
After that, the comments from netizens were basically the same, but Yin Lingyun was still a little confused. He stared at the comment area and was thinking, when the group rang again.
Yin Lingyun clicked on it.
Colonel Val: [Looking up close, Kirin seems to have gained a lot of weight? @Lieutenant Herman, I'm so envious of you. Your Lightning's tail can be pulled at will, but Kirin won't even let me touch it.]
Lieutenant Hermann: [……]
Lieutenant Herman: […I can't pull it, it'll bite me.]
Colonel Val: [……]
Lieutenant Colonel Song: [Hey, I liked all the comments that mentioned Pimi. I hope Director Mu sees this and takes some Pimi photos next time... [Humble]]
Lieutenant General Mylo: [@Lieutenant Colonel Song, good idea. I'll also like all the comments that mention Moonlight.]
[Excuse me, what kind of group is this? ]
At this moment, a sudden text appeared in the chat box.
The other war beast masters who were chatting were stunned for a moment, then looked at the note of the strange speaker and guessed.
Colonel Val: [@Colonel Yin, the master of Stepping Cloud?]
Senior Colonel Yin: […Hmm.]
Next, it’s time for science popularization.
Not long after, under the instructions of a group of friends who called themselves "Beek Zoo's non-staff members", Yin Lingyun went to Star Network to search for more videos about Stepping Cloud and Beek Zoo.
After a while, until all the information had been received, Yin Lingyun took a deep breath and typed in the group: [Please tell Director Mu that Yin Lingyun is very grateful for her care for Tayun. After the alien beast wave on Planet 917 is over, I will visit her in person.]
Commander Duan: [917? Are you on the 917 front line?]
The news about the alien beast tide on Planet 917 has been broadcasting for a month now, and the casualties there are quite heavy.
Senior Colonel Yin: Yes.
Colonel Val: [Thank you for your hard work.]
Lieutenant Hermann: [Thank you for your hard work.]
Lieutenant Colonel Song: [Thank you for your hard work.]
Lieutenant General Milo: [Thank you for your hard work.]
Commander Duan: [Thank you for your hard work.]
Yin Lingyun exhaled lightly, his eyes slightly warm, and finally sent a message: [I'm turning off my phone now, thank you.]
Colonel Yin, who walked back to the operations room, seemed to be significantly different from before he left. The deputy general and the second lieutenant looked at each other and felt that when they saw the images of the war beasts fighting side by side with their masters in the surveillance, the boss's eyes seemed to have less sadness and melancholy, and more free and easy and open.
As the master of Tayun, ever since Tayun was injured and retired, the boss has always been covered with a layer of gray shadow, but until just now, that layer of gray shadow seemed to suddenly fade?
But why?
It's just a piece of information, why do you seem to have suddenly come to your senses?
Yin Lingyun's subordinates couldn't figure it out. At this time, in the Piccolo Zoo, which brought this change to Yin Lingyun, Mu Ling was running towards the parking garage with a medical box in his hand with a serious expression.
At the same time, she was holding a walkie-talkie in her hand, and she was communicating with the person on the other end of the walkie-talkie: "Please tell me clearly, where exactly are you?"
Zhao Fang's voice came from the other end. "It's gone now, in the middle of the river, near the upper reaches of Branch 091. But I'm sure I'm not mistaken. It's definitely a Red Heart Fox. Its body is snow-white, without a single stray hair. There's a tuft of red hair between its eyebrows, shaped like a flower petal. I've seen the park's information, and it must be the retired S-rank war beast sent to the park ten months ago, the Red Heart Fox 'Lingren'."
Mu Ling had already gotten into the patrol car. She held the steering wheel with one hand. "Did you see how badly it was injured? Was it bleeding a lot?"
Zhao Fang said: "The entire front leg is covered in bloodstains, but the marks are very old, it must have been injured in the past. But it has difficulty moving and limps when it runs."
Mu Ling's face was dark: "Okay, I'll go right away, you continue to lead the tourists forward, I will find it!"
After turning off the intercom, Mu Ling called out to the sky outside the window: "Tayun!"
The giant eagle was soaring in the sky. When it heard Mu Ling's cry, it flew down and stood on the window frame.
Mu Ling strung her laptop with a rope and hung it around the giant eagle's neck. She then turned on the camera, letting it follow Tayun, and instructed it, "Come down if you can't fly anymore. Don't force yourself to fly. Your wings aren't that strong yet, okay? The little white fox is important, and you are important too. Be good."
After Mu Ling finished speaking, she was about to continue driving the car, but the giant eagle suddenly stuck its head in and approached Mu Ling's face.
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling pretended not to understand what it meant.
The giant eagle jumped onto the steering wheel.
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling sighed, but she still reached out and hugged it, then touched its wings: "Sister doesn't want to give you the wrong courtship signal, so how about we touch each other instead of kissing?"
The giant eagle felt comfortable with the touch. It stretched its head and rubbed its forehead against Mu Ling's chin, then spread its wings and flew into the sky.
As it soared high in the sky, the giant eagle let out a joyful cry: "Gu——"
