Chapter 49
Walk along the river line. If you walk above the water source, you can use the floating mode to travel faster.
Therefore, after driving for more than 20 minutes and arriving at a tributary downstream, Mu Ling immediately switched the car to suspension mode.
However, although she was flying, the hover car could only hover at a maximum height of 30 meters above the ground, so Mu Ling's field of vision was still not wide, and she had to rely on stepping on the clouds to help her explore the way.
The car drove forward all the way, and it was an hour later when it arrived at the 091 tributary.
"Tayun, go over there." Mu Ling stuck her head out of the window and pointed in a direction below.
The eagle in the sky immediately swooped down, entered the jungle, and disappeared without a trace at a very fast speed.
Brother Zhao said that the white fox was heading upstream of the 091 tributary, so Mu Ling asked Tayun to fly around the 091 tributary, within a radius of ten kilometers, but they didn't see anything.
12:30 noon.
In the patrol car parked in the woods, Giant Eagle was standing on the passenger seat eating and drinking, while Mu Ling watched the video that Tayun had just filmed at eight times the speed... After a while, she sighed and raised her hand to rub her brow.
The giant eagle was full by then. It flapped its wings and flew into Mu Ling's arms. It put its little head close to her and rubbed her cheek.
Mu Ling hugged it, gently stroking it, and muttered, "It seems that Lingren has escaped. At least he is not near the 091 branch anymore."
After rubbing against Mu Ling for a while, the giant eagle sat down again, turned its head and began to peck at its wings, trying to comb its feathers until they were beautiful.
Mu Ling gazed at the woods outside the car with a heavy heart, slowly reviewing the situation. "First, we need to analyze why the Lingren ran to the outer perimeter. According to records, the Lingren usually lived in the swamp forest west of the inner perimeter, but now, she has run to the main river in the outer perimeter. This kind of sudden migration is usually accompanied by a special event. So, what happened?"
"Could it be related to its injury? Brother Zhao said that its wound looked old, which means it's been injured for a while. Could it be that it got into a fight with other animals and was driven out of the swamp forest, so it can only come to the periphery? But Lingren is an S-class war beast after all. Who can beat it? The only ones who can beat it are other S-class war beasts, but there are only a few S-class war beasts in the park, and they all live in their own corners and never pick on each other..."
"What else could be possible? There are only three reasons why animals can change their habitats: one, encountering a natural enemy, two, lack of water, and three, lack of food. The fox's natural enemy is the wolf, and the natural enemy of an S-level fox is an S-level wolf. Clear it out? They've been living at the foot of the mountain for half a month. There's no way they can be blamed..."
"Water and food sources are even more impossible. The mountains are full of streams and water sources. There are food distribution points every few kilometers, so there is no shortage of food..."
"Could it be that Lingren, like Qilin, discovered the exotic beast that had sneaked into the park and followed it to the outskirts? Impossible. If there were an exotic beast in the park, Tayun would have reacted just now. How could he still be so calm while combing his fur?"
"Then all possibilities have been ruled out, so what else could it be?"
Mu Ling really couldn't figure it out. After hesitating for a while, she decided to go to a nearby food distribution point to see if there were any signs that the food had been eaten.
When Mu Ling was driving, the giant eagle was about to fly out again, so Mu Ling hung the light computer back on its neck and let it continue filming.
Twenty minutes later, Mu Ling arrived at the first food distribution point. The food here showed signs of being moved, but not by foxes, because there was not a single white fox hair around, only some weasel footprints.
There are seven or eight weasels in the park, living nearby.
Maybe because this is the territory of the weasel, the actors didn't come here to eat?
Thinking of this, Mu Ling returned to the car, restarted it, and headed to the next food stop.
The food at the next food point is intact, and there are no animal traces nearby. It has been three days since it was put out, and no animals have come to eat at this point. When the food is changed tomorrow, all the food must be replaced with new food, otherwise the animals will get sick if they eat the damp food.
At the next food point, there were traces of large animals, and the animal food had been almost eaten up. However, looking at the footprints, there were no white fox footprints, and no white fox hair could be seen around.
In this way, Mu Ling searched from noon to afternoon, searching along the 091 river for more than four hours, but found no clues.
Looking at the time, it was almost five o'clock. Mu Ling sighed and decided to walk around the black forest in front again. If she still couldn't find it, she would have to call for support.
The park closes at 6:30. After all the guests have left, I ask Brother Wei, Brother Xiang and the others to come up and help.
Driving the car to the steep entrance of the black forest, Mu Ling put on protective clothing and walked inside on foot.
After taking two steps, suddenly, the leaves on the tree shook. Mu Ling looked up and saw two small sables with black fur all over their bodies rushing out from the shadows of the trees and then running quickly to another tree.
Mu Ling saw that it was an old acquaintance and called out with a smile, "Pa pa, Juanjuan."
The two sables that were about to escape paused, turned their heads, stretched their necks and sniffed towards Mu Ling.
After sniffing for a while, the young couple came back with a clatter. They ran to the tree in front of Mu Ling, jumped up and down, and made a "cluck" sound from their mouths.
This is the sound they make to express happiness.
Mu Ling smiled, walked to the tree, raised her hand and touched them.
The two sables did not leave, but lowered their heads and let Mu Ling pet them.
Mu Ling pulled out another bag of chicken jerky from the large pocket of her work clothes, tore off two pieces, fed them to the foxes, and bribed them, "I want to ask you something. Have you ever seen a white fox? There's blood on its front legs, and it's limping."
The two sables held the dried chicken in their mouths and quickly finished eating it. Then one of the brave ones jumped directly onto Mu Ling's arm and crawled into Mu Ling's pocket.
Mu Ling laughed, picked up the sable, and put it back on the tree. Then she took out two pieces of chicken jerky and gave them to them: "Here, here, here, all for you. Take some back for Jiji and Xiangxiang. By the way, you all got vaccinated, right? No one was missed?"
As Mu Ling spoke, she spread the buttocks of the two sables and saw the white marks on their buttocks. Those that had been vaccinated would have the marks painted on their buttocks to distinguish them.
"Yeah, very good. You guys take your time to play, I'll go in and look for it." Mu Ling chatted with the familiar mink at the village entrance, then continued to go in and look for the white fox.
Not long after she walked in, two sables followed her. One of the sables had half a piece of dried chicken in its mouth. I wonder if it was taking it back for the two children to eat.
In this way, accompanied by the two sables, Mu Ling walked deeper and deeper into the woods.
Until soon...
"Hiss, hiss..."
The two sables suddenly let out a vigilant scream!
Mu Ling paused, stopped and looked at them.
When a marten hisses, it usually means there is something strange nearby that makes them afraid or terrified.
Mu Ling immediately looked up at the sky.
The giant eagle in the sky was still soaring. Since Mu Ling entered the woods, Tayun had been following her above her head. If Sable wanted to react, he would have done so long ago, not just now.
So it wasn't Tayun that scared them, it was just... there was something else nearby that frightened them...
Mu Ling immediately observed the direction in which the two martens were calling, and she found that they were calling towards the mountain wall in front of her right.
What happened to that mountain wall?
Mu Ling pulled up the protective suit and fastened the hood, then carefully touched the tranquilizer gun and slowly approached the mountain wall.
"Hiss, hiss..." The two sables called out louder, as if trying to stop Mu Ling from going over.
At this moment, there was a sudden movement on the other side of the mountain wall, and a white figure suddenly rushed out from the rocky valley on the side of the mountain wall.
The white figure moved very quickly, and it pounced directly towards Mu Ling's face. It was like a hunter hiding in the dark for a long time, waiting for the right moment to show its sharp fangs and ferocious claws, and kill its prey with one blow without any hesitation!
Mu Ling is the prey now!
The white fox's attack caught people off guard. Mu Ling instinctively hugged her face and turned her back.
Suddenly, something heavy fell on her body. Mu Ling realized that the white fox had jumped onto her back and was biting her neck fiercely.
The protective suit protected Mu Ling very well, and her skin was not injured. However, the fear of being attacked by a wild beast at such close range still made her sweat all over and her scalp tingled.
And just at this moment.
A ferocious eagle cry suddenly came from above, and then Mu Ling felt Tayun landing on her head. Then something happened behind her, the weight of the white fox on her back disappeared, and the sound of footsteps came from behind, getting farther and farther away.
Mu Ling turned her head carefully and the first thing she saw was blood all over the floor.
She looked forward and saw a hunched figure staggering away with difficulty, its tail and front paws covered in blood.
Mu Ling's face was very gloomy. She immediately pulled out the tranquilizer pistol and pointed it forward.
At this moment, perhaps because of the animal's instinctive sense of danger, the sharp white fox suddenly turned its head.
Mu Ling was suddenly stunned...
The danger came too quickly just now, and she didn't see the white fox's appearance carefully. Now looking at it again, the white fox is exactly the same as the photo in the information. Its fur is snow-white and clean all over, except for a red hair like a flower in the middle of its eyebrows. Under the red hair, it has a pair of slanted and charming purple animal eyes, which are noble and mysterious, and full of charm.
It is really beautiful. Mu Ling was a little stunned when she looked at it. It is said that its owner named it "Lingren" because from the first sight, he felt that it looked very much like a famous actor in the ancient Blue Star civilization who was once active on the stage, singing and dancing gracefully.
Mu Ling now felt that the master's idea was absolutely right. The actor was a famous actor. As long as it stood there, even if it was damaged in battle, even if it was in a mess, even if it was in mud and swamps, it would still be glowing all over.
It's not like a warrior, it's more like an artist.
Mu Ling's fingers holding the tranquilizer gun trembled slightly. She really couldn't bring herself to do it to such a beautiful white fox.
But looking at the injuries on its body, Mu Ling knew that she couldn't let it go. It had lost so much blood, and it would die if it wasn't treated!
His eyes became firm, and Mu Ling was about to shoot, but the white fox had already turned around completely. It seemed as if it recognized the gun, and its expression suddenly became ferocious. It bared its teeth, and its sharp teeth shone with a cold light on its pure face.
It suddenly roared at Mu Ling: "Gah!!!!"
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling: “?”
“Gah—”
The white fox continued to bark, its voice broken and hoarse, like a dying duck.
I'm uneducated, so don't lie to me. That's not how a fox calls...
Seeing that Mu Ling didn't shoot, the white fox turned around and continued running...
"Bang." Mu Ling fired a shot and hit the white fox in front. The body of the fox slowly softened, and under the catalysis of the drug, it finally became motionless.
Mu Ling sighed and was about to walk over when she suddenly felt something was wrong.
She glanced up, a little hesitant: "Thank you for saving my life, Master Ta. I am fine now. My benefactor, please stop scratching my scalp."
Mu Ling walked a bit, then felt her feet were unstable, so she flapped her wings and flew into the sky again.
Mu Ling rubbed her head and walked quickly towards the white fox.
When she got closer to Mu Ling, she found that Ling Ren had more injuries than she saw.
The wound on the tail is a new one. I don’t know how it got injured. It looks like it was pinched. There are some stone chips on the wound. Maybe it was pinched by the cracks in the rocks?
The left front paw was pecked by Ta Yun, and it bled, but not too much. It was obvious that Ta Yun had restrained himself.
Mu Ling touched the white fox's bones again.
The bone of its right front paw is soft. It must have been broken and never reconnected, so it usually drags its front paw when walking, and its paw is therefore very dirty.
There was a lot of new and old blood on its body.
Mu Ling sighed, looked at the fragile and dying white fox, picked it up, and walked out of the black forest with it.
Because of the gunfight here, the two sables that had been frightened and had hidden far away came over again. They stood on the tree trunk next to them and watched Mu Ling leave.
After Mu Ling returned to the car, she first opened the medicine box and simply treated the two new wounds of the white fox. Then she carefully placed it on the back seat, got into the driver's seat, and drove back.
Tayun was still flying in the sky. Mu Ling called it several times and it came down obediently to drink water and eat some bird food. But after eating and drinking, it wanted to go out to fly again. Mu Ling saw that it could still fly, so she let it go.
When we returned to the service area, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
As soon as Mu Ling drove into the service area, she heard Xiao Zhao's loud shout, "The director is back! The director is back!"
In an instant, countless heads popped out from the veterinary station, the supermarket, the garage, and the dormitory building.
Mu Ling parked the car in the square. Before the car stopped, many people gathered around the car, led by Zhao Fang and Wei Li.
"Director, why did you just come back?" Wei Li was extremely anxious: "You didn't even answer the intercom!"
"Huh?" Mu Ling hurriedly picked up her walkie-talkie and looked at it, embarrassed: "Oh, it's out of battery."
Wei Li said, "Brother Xiang has gone up the mountain to look for you. I told him to come back."
Wei Li said, and walked out of the crowd with the intercom, saying to the other side: "Brother Xiang, Brother Xiang, the director is back, you should hurry back."
Mu Ling was a little embarrassed. She stood on tiptoe to look at Wei Li's back and explained in a low voice: "The car has a battery. I forgot to check the intercom..."
Zhao Fang then asked her, "Director, have you found the actor?"
Mu Ling nodded and opened the door of the back car. Suddenly, everyone saw the motionless white fox covered in blood.
The people in the three inner and outer circles suddenly fell silent.
Mu Ling carried the white fox out and said, "Everyone, please make way. I'll take it to the veterinary station first."
Everyone quickly made way.
After Mu Ling put the white fox on the operating table, she went out again, called Ta Yun down, and sent it back to the animal dormitory. Then she returned to the veterinary station.
The director came back and the others dispersed. Although they still wanted to see the white fox, they didn't dare to disturb the director while he was treating it... While Mu Ling was treating the white fox's wound, the door of the veterinary station suddenly opened and Xiang Bie walked in.
When Mu Ling saw Brother Xiang, she felt extremely embarrassed and quickly said, "Brother Xiang, I'm sorry, I..."
"It's okay." Xiang Bie said calmly, "My intercom has broken down before, but I'm glad you're okay."
Mu Ling thought about how she hadn't been able to contact Brother Xiang for two days last time. She sighed, "I'll buy a solar charger next time! Upgrade it for all of us!"
Xiang Bie didn't say anything. He just went to the sink to wash his hands. After wiping his hands clean, he took the initiative to come to Mu Ling, hand her tools, and act as her assistant.
While Mu Ling was stitching up the white fox's bleeding wound, she told it what happened after she met the white fox today.
When Xiang Bie heard that Mu Ling was attacked, his brows immediately frowned and he turned around to look at her seriously.
Mu Ling smiled and said, "Oh, I'm fine. I was so smart! I immediately wrapped myself in protective clothing!"
"I'm not wearing a helmet." Xiang Bie said in a deep voice.
Mu Ling said embarrassedly: "I was a little careless. There will definitely not be a next time!"
Xiang Bie didn't say anything after all. He looked at the white fox's injury again and said, "The pad is broken."
Yes, apart from the white fox's left front paw being pecked by Tayun, the right front paw had a broken bone, and its tail was suspected to be caught in a crevice, the most serious of the remaining injuries were on its four paws.
The pads of the soles of the feet were all broken. When I touched the scars, I found that they were more worn out than walking 800 kilometers every day.
"What on earth has it been through? Its four legs are almost broken by it walking." Mu Ling still can't understand why the white fox suddenly came from the inner circle to the outer circle and got itself covered in scars.
The wound was quickly sutured, and Mu Ling began to set the white fox's bones.
While the bones were being set, the white fox, which had clearly fainted, suddenly twitched and let out a faint whimpering sound: "Ga..."
The sound was very soft and after screaming, he fainted again.
Mu Ling was startled and quickly let it go, standing eighteen steps away from it!
Xiang Bie didn't move. He just stood there and watched. After another two minutes, when he was sure that the white fox was no longer moving, Xiang Bie said, "It's not awake."
Mu Ling breathed a sigh of relief and walked back carefully: "Although it hasn't woken up yet, it seems that it is about to wake up. Is there any information about this in its information?"
Xiang Bie pulled up the information and took a look, then said, "The medical record states that he has a sensitive constitution and metabolizes ordinary anesthetics too quickly. He needs a higher quality anesthetic to be effectively anesthetized."
Mu Lingxin suddenly softened: "She's beautiful, has a noble profession, has rare purple eyes, and a sensitive body. What kind of fairy woman is this?"
Xiang Bie: "It's a male."
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling lifted the white fox's hind legs, took a look, and was silent: "Oh, immortal man..."
Mu Ling continued, "So this is the legendary male-female combination? It feels so mysterious. Oh, and it's also called an actor. Aren't many of the famous actors on Ancient Blue Star men? It all fits!"
Xiang Bie saw that Mu Ling looked completely bewildered by the vixen, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Do you know why it's called Lingren?"
Mu Ling had reconnected the bones and was putting on the support device when she said, "Of course I know, because it's as beautiful as a famous actress!"
"no."
"Huh?" Mu Ling looked at Xiang Bie: "Isn't it?"
Xiang Bie pursed his lips and said, "Because it has had the most unpleasant voice in the War Beast Kindergarten since it was young, its owner hopes that it can transform into a voice as clear and ethereal as a famous actor when it grows up, so he named it Lingren."
Mu Ling: “…”
Xiang Bie: "The wish has not come true. It still has a drake voice now."
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling choked. Unwilling to give up, she stroked the white fox's beautiful fur again and said stubbornly, "Nonsense, nonsense! I just think its voice is very nice! Very unique! Even if it's a drake voice, it's the most charming drake voice!"
Category: "..."
Mu Ling quickly treated the white fox's wound, then wiped the blood off its body. Before it woke up, she quickly carried it into the ward.
As Mu Ling appeared in the ward area, Bai Xiong in Ward A4 suddenly stood up.
The white bear quickly climbed to the door of the cage, opened its mouth to grab the empty food bowl, and looked towards Mu Ling.
After Mu Ling put the white fox down, she looked up and saw the moonlight holding a basin in the distance. She was stunned for a moment.
Xiang Bie took a quick look and explained, "Xiao Zhao fed it at lunch, and after it finished eating, it held the bowl in its mouth and looked at the door. When I fed it at dinner, it did the same thing, looking at the stereo for a while, then at the door. It must be looking for you."
Mu Ling was almost heartbroken. She hurried to the front of the white bear's cage, squatted down, and said softly, "Moonlight, I'm sorry. I had something to do today and didn't come to feed you. But our Moonlight is so good that he ate all the food. Our Moonlight is simply the most awesome little bear in the world!"
The white bear spit the teddy bear onto the ground. After receiving the praise, it looked at Mu Ling again, then lowered its head, picked up the teddy bear on the ground, and returned to the corner.
Mu Ling smiled and waved at the door: "Moonlight, come here, can I touch you?"
The white bear didn't go over, but it rubbed its head against the wall, looking shy.
"Moonlight, come... come..."
Mu Ling tried every possible way to summon the white bear for a long time, but the white bear seemed to still have reservations and never came close to Mu Ling.
Mu Ling's legs were numb from squatting, so she could only stand up and said gently, "Then sister will come to feed you tomorrow morning."
Xiang Bie was again the one on guard at the veterinary station tonight. Mu Ling felt embarrassed and suggested that she would do it instead. However, Xiang Bie said no and asked her to go back and rest. Mu Ling was indeed tired after a day of work, so she suggested that someone else could do it instead. However, Xiang Bie still said no.
Seeing that Brother Xiang insisted, Mu Ling had no choice but to silently remember to give Brother Xiang a raise, and then returned to the dormitory.
Twelve o'clock at night.
While Mu Ling was sleeping soundly, Yue Guang heard some noise in the ward area of the veterinary station and woke up.
The white bear opened his dark eyes and looked confusedly at another cage far away from him. He saw a limping fox walking back and forth anxiously in the cage.
Because they were all white fur, the white bear got up from the ground, holding the teddy bear in its mouth, moved to the edge of the cage, and stared at the white fox.
The gentle storytelling voices in the sky made the polar bear feel relaxed. It looked at the fox, and as it looked, the white fox also looked at it.
"Ga!!!" A fierce scream suddenly rang out.
The white bear was stunned and blinked.
The fox stared at the polar bear warily. It lowered its front body, making an offensive and confrontational gesture, opened its mouth again, and roared: "Ga——"
The long chirping sound was harsh and tone-deaf.
Xiang Bie heard the sound and came in quickly. As soon as he reached the door, the white fox discovered him.
The white fox suddenly felt attacked from both sides. Its ears pressed against the back of its head, its beautiful purple pupils trembled slightly, and its wounds were still bleeding. It looked weak, but its voice was still sharp. What came out of its throat was not the "ah ah" or "whimper" sound of a normal fox, but "Ga-ga-ga-ga"
It was shouting at the enemy to repel them, and this unfamiliar environment made it extremely nervous!
Xiang Bie frowned and was hesitating whether to call Mu Ling. Suddenly, the white bear in ward A4 also moved.
Xiang Bie looked over and saw the polar bear spinning in the cage. As it was spinning, it tilted its head from time to time and rubbed its ears on the ground. After rubbing for a while, it scratched its ears with its claws and continued to spin in circles.
"Ga! Ga!" The white fox didn't know what the white bear was turning about. It was very frightened and pretended to roar at the bear with all its might!
But the louder the white fox barked, the more anxious the white bear became. Finally, the white bear could only retreat into a corner, facing the wall and leaning its head against the wall, its two paws tightly pressing on its ears...
The voice-controlled bear had never suffered such an injustice. It had never heard such an unpleasant sound!
