Chapter 56
Manager Harry's exclamation startled Mu Ling, and she hurried over. But as soon as she got there, she was stunned. She saw that the two lions in the cage were in a very bad condition.
If they looked haggard and listless when they set out before, now they looked as if they were seriously ill.
After just an hour's drive, the light in their eyes seemed to have disappeared. The two lions were now leaning against each other weakly. There was vomit in front of the cage and their excrement under the cage.
Vomiting and diarrhea.
Manager Harry was practically dying of anxiety, with beads of sweat dripping down his forehead. He quickly asked Manager Li, "Manager Li, could you please ask your veterinarian to take a look at Roumei and Xiaoduo?"
Manager Li naturally wouldn't refuse, but Jixiang was probably still busy at that moment, so Manager Li said, "Let's go directly there."
Having said that, he closed the car door and got into the driver's seat.
Harry quickly got into the passenger seat.
Mu Ling followed and got on the back seat.
They drove there faster than Manager Ge and his team took the shortcut.
So when Mu Ling and the others arrived at the veterinary station, the young nurse who came out to wait was stunned when she saw that it was not Manager Ge.
Manager Li quickly explained the situation, but the nurse hesitated. "Only Dr. John is here right now, and Dr. Julie is on her way. Jixiang's condition is too poor. Dr. John and Nurse Wang are both stuck in the intensive care unit, so I'm afraid they can't help with the other animals right now."
The nurse said, then looked at Manager Harry: "But if it is confirmed that the lions are suffering from acclimatization, I can give them an injection to stop vomiting and diarrhea first. Is that necessary?"
Manager Harry was a little hesitant. He couldn't be 100% sure that Roumei and Xiaoduo were just not used to the local climate...
Just as I was struggling with this, a gentle female voice suddenly sounded behind me: "Can I borrow the tools and equipment from your veterinary station?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present looked at the young girl who was two steps behind Manager Harry.
Mu Ling lifted the white fox up, holding it steady, and said modestly, "Although I'm not a professional, I've treated many of the animals at Beak Zoo. I should be able to help Roumei and Xiaoduo. However, if I need to do any tests, I'll definitely need to borrow your equipment."
Bic Zoo?
The young nurse stared at Mu Ling for a moment, then suddenly recognized her: "You are the one from Beak Zoo..."
With that, the nurse hurried inside: "I'll go ask Dr. John, please wait a moment."
After the nurse left, Manager Harry looked at Mu Ling with a look of surprise on his face: "Director Mu, are you really able to do this?"
Mu Ling smiled and said, "Anyway, until our park hires a formal veterinarian, I will be the director and concurrently the veterinarian."
Manager Harry nodded quickly: "That's good, that's good."
As he was speaking, the nurse came out and said, "Doctor John said you can use the equipment."
Mu Ling ordered, "Then move Roumei and Xiaoduo in first."
The other staff members of Fuai Zoo came in another small car. After hearing what Mu Ling said, the six of them, including Fas, hurriedly opened the compartment of the big car and lifted down the huge cage inside.
Pushing the two droopy-headed lionesses into the veterinary station, Mu Ling took a quick look around the station. This veterinary station was more than twice the size of the one in the Beek Zoo, mainly because they had more equipment. Wow, all the equipment alone took up two entire large rooms.
Mu Ling looked around and pointed at the operating table in the hall: "Can Xiaoduo lie on it?"
Among the staff who came over was Roumei and Xiaoduo's breeder. The dark-skinned middle-aged man opened the cage and called out, "Xiaoduo, come here."
Normally, as long as the cage is opened, the two lions will definitely rush out, but today, perhaps because they are not feeling well, the two lions just squinted their eyes, licked their noses, then put their chins on their front paws, curled up together, and did not move.
"Xiaoduo...Xiaoduo?" The keeper called several times, but Xiaoduo didn't move. It even closed its eyes because of fatigue, as if it wanted to sleep.
The keeper tried to open a can again, and finally, after smelling the can, the two lions reacted. In the end, Xiaoduo was led to the operating table.
While the lioness lowered her head to eat the canned food, Mu Ling took off her backpack and placed it at her feet. Then she took out Lingren's chain and put it on a cage. She whispered to Lingren, "Just sit inside and be obedient."
The white fox sat obediently in the backpack, with its snow-white head tilted back, and its purple eyes always closely following Mu Ling's figure.
"Xiaoduo, come here, lie down." Mu Ling put on protective clothing, gently placed her palm on the back of the strange lioness, and slowly pressed it down.
The lioness was not familiar with Mu Ling's smell. She bared her teeth in displeasure and turned away to avoid Mu Ling's hand.
Mu Ling did not force it. She withdrew her hand and planned to wait until it finished eating the can before letting the breeder coax it to lie down.
The lioness quickly finished a small can of food. She licked her lips and was about to return to the cage to find Meat Girl when suddenly...
"Ugh..." Its body squirmed and with the movement of nausea, it vomited out all the canned food it had just eaten.
Even after spitting out the can, it started spitting out acid.
The people at Fuai Zoo were heartbroken after seeing this, and manager Harley was almost crying: "Xiaoduo!"
Xiaoduo vomited a lot. It smelled its own vomit, and then finally lay down under the pressure of the breeder, leaning its head on the breeder a little weakly.
The keeper caressed it lovingly, and Mu Ling took the stethoscope, put it under the lion's belly, and began to listen to its heartbeat.
After listening for a while, Mu Ling said, "It's beating a little fast. Let's draw blood first."
As she spoke, she asked the nurse for a syringe.
Then, Mu Ling grabbed Xiaoduo's right front paw and looked for its blood vessels. After finding them, she separated the hair there, wiped it with a sterilized cotton swab, and inserted the needle.
"Roar!" The lion felt pain and struggled immediately!
The keeper was busy holding down its body. The lion was very angry and wanted to stand up. It started kicking on the operating table with its four legs and tried to bite the keeper.
Manager Harry was horrified. The zookeeper was okay; after all, he was Xiaoduo's biological father, so Xiaoduo wouldn't really bite him. But Xiaoduo didn't know Director Mu, and Director Mu was just trying to help. If Xiaoduo got kicked, how would he explain it to the Beak Zoo?
Thinking of this, Manager Harry hurriedly looked at Mu Ling, wanting to ask her to move away, but he saw that Director Mu didn't react at all. She was not afraid or nervous. She just held the lion's front paw and the needle part with one hand, and drew blood in an orderly manner with the other hand. Soon, a tube of blood was drawn.
Then she skillfully coaxed him, "Okay, okay, Xiaoduo is great, our Xiaoduo is really amazing."
After saying that, he pressed Xiaoduo's wound with a cotton swab, wrapped it lightly with medical tape, put the syringe on the tray, and grabbed Xiaoduo's hind legs again.
She stretched Xiaoduo's hind legs completely, then poked his butt with a cotton swab. Finally, after putting the cotton swab into the test tube, she finally patted Xiaoduo's butt and coaxed him gently again: "Okay, okay, this time it's really done, Xiaoduo, don't be angry anymore, don't be angry anymore."
The whole process is so skillful!
Manager Harry couldn't imagine how many beasts she had done this to!
The irritable lioness finally realized that she was not being fooled, and her anger gradually subsided. The keeper hurriedly stroked her fur and tried to comfort her. After all, he was her nanny, so Xiaoduo stopped struggling.
At this time, Mu Ling had already gone to the equipment area with Xiaoduo's blood and cotton swab.
Routine blood test, allergy test, routine urine test, routine stool test, these are the most basic tests.
But Mu Ling also gave it an extra check...
Virus source check.
Check whether there is a mutated virus in Xiaoduo's body.
While Mu Ling was still waiting for the test results, Manager Ge and others finally arrived.
Manager Ge was stunned when he saw Manager Harry and the others there: "You guys..."
Manager Li hurriedly explained the situation.
After listening to this, Manager Ge looked at Xiaoduo who was being held and comforted by the breeder on the operating table. He frowned and looked at Mu Ling in the equipment area.
The young nurse quickly explained: "Doctor John approved of that device."
Manager Ge didn't say anything else, but only asked the nurse, "How is Jixiang now?"
The young nurse led him to the intensive care unit and said, "He's already gone into shock twice. Doctor John said this isn't very meaningful...it will only increase his pain..."
After both of them were admitted to the intensive care unit, Manager Li outside couldn't help but go to see them too.
But he didn't go into the intensive care unit, he just stood outside and watched through the window.
Xiaoduo's test results will take at least half an hour to come out. During this period, no one came out of the intensive care unit. Roumei vomited once, but her condition did not seem as serious as Xiaoduo's.
After a while, a sound finally came from the intensive care unit. Mu Ling was holding Lingren and kissing her. When she heard the sound, she turned her head and saw Manager Ge and an older nurse coming out. It should be Nurse Wang.
Manager Ge looked at Mu Ling and suddenly stepped forward and extended his hand to her: "Director Mu."
His action made Mu Ling startled, but she still stood up and shook Manager Ge's hand: "Manager Ge, what are you doing..."
Manager Ge smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not afraid to speak frankly. Director Mu, we all know you have extensive experience treating S-class war beasts. I wonder if you could please take a look at our Jixiang. Our doctors feel it's in too much pain. It would be cruel to continue to linger on like this. However, its owner is currently on a mission on another planet, and we can't contact him. I thought, let's at least hold on for a few more days, so that it can see its owner one last time, so..."
Mu Ling understood what Manager Ge meant. She nodded and said, "Then I'll go take a look. But Manager Ge, I'm really not a professional. Our zoo didn't have a veterinarian before, so I'm filling in. But the vets here must be very good vets, at least better than me. If he can't do it, I'm really not sure what I can do..."
Mu Ling herself didn't know if her exceptional ability to heal war beasts was related to that incident...
If so, how can this ability be triggered?
She had never triggered it herself, so she couldn't guarantee that she could cure every war beast...
Manager Ge hurriedly said, "It's okay, just give it a try, don't feel pressured."
Mu Ling was eventually taken to the intensive care unit by Manager Ge and Nurse Wang.
In the intensive care unit, an adult leopard with dull markings all over its body was lying on an iron bed, looking emaciated. There were many layers of cushions under its body, which allowed it to sleep a little more comfortably.
At this time, its mouth was slightly open and its body was lying on its side. In front of its mouth, there was an oxygen mask, and a steady stream of oxygen was inhaled into its nasal cavity, but this did not seem to relieve its pain. It half-opened its eyes with difficulty, and the whole leopard looked almost lifeless.
Mu Ling carried Lingren on her back, slowly approached, stood beside the bed and gently stroked the leopard's rough fur.
Doctor John, who was standing in front of the oxygen machine, looked up at Mu Ling. At that glance, he saw the white fox lying on the back of the young principal.
The white fox lazily put its chin on the girl's shoulder. Its purple pupils were very beautiful. At this moment, its eyes were looking at the dying leopard on the hospital bed. As it looked, it moved its nose and gently sniffed at the leopard.
Red-hearted fox.
Dr. John recognized the fox's breed almost immediately.
There is also a male red-heart fox in Monty Zoo, but its appearance is definitely not as good as this one. Dr. John guessed that this should be a war beast. Considering the identity of the young director, Director Mu of Beek Zoo, it is not surprising that she has a war beast around her.
But they were both war beasts, and this red-hearted fox looked so healthy and relaxed, while their auspiciousness was...
"Can I see its mental evaluation report?" Mu Ling suddenly asked.
Dr. John came back to his senses and turned his head to look at Nurse Wang, who hurriedly handed the appraisal report to Mu Ling.
Mu Ling looked at it for a while and frowned: "Damage value, 98%?"
Dr. John nodded solemnly. "The latest data came out five minutes ago. Half an hour ago, it was still 94%."
A 4% increase in just half an hour?
This deterioration rate is a bit outrageous!
Mu Ling frowned and looked at the leopard.
In fact, with Dr. John here, all means of treatment must have been used, whether it was injections, infusions, medication, or even oxygen machines. However, the condition still deteriorated so quickly, which can only mean that the problem lies at the root.
That is, nerves.
Mu Ling had said when treating Pi Mi that although nerve damage was irreversible, as long as the rate of decrease in the damage value was greater than the rate of increase, the purpose of treatment could be achieved.
Pursing her lips, Mu Ling said, "I think the first thing we need to do now is to prevent the damage value from increasing any further."
The intensive care unit was silent.
Even if Manager Ge is not a professional, he knows... Isn't this nonsense?
Everyone knows that the most urgent task now is to prevent the damage value from increasing any further.
If it increases any further it will be 100%, and then the good luck will be completely gone.
Manager Ge coughed lightly and said, "Director Mu, do you have any ideas?"
Mu Ling asked: "What does Jixiang like?"
Dr. John took a document from the table and handed it to her: "It contains all the information about Jixiang."
Mu Ling took a look. The previous information was all basic information. Mu Ling mainly wanted to see if Jixiang was particularly obsessed with anything, just like Lingren, who was particularly obsessed with the mastiff. So it was not a bad idea for Mu Ling to sacrifice herself and be a substitute for the mastiff, as long as it could make Lingren a better person.
But unfortunately, Jixiang has no preference.
Jixiang came to Monti Zoo a year and a half ago. Monti Zoo has opened a large venue for him. The venue is not open to the public. He is usually alone in it, which can greatly reduce his stress. He does not accept other animals or humans getting close to him. He always waits for the keeper to leave before coming out to eat. He is very sensitive to all creatures. His spirits are sometimes good and sometimes bad. He often does not sleep and stays up for days and nights. If the keeper had not discovered it and the veterinarian had not given him anesthesia, he might have continued to stay up like this until he died...
And it is the time when you stay up late that the damage value increases the fastest.
"Moderate depression." Mu Ling said.
Judging from the information on Jixiang's profile, this is at least moderate depression.
Doctor John didn't deny it. He nodded and said, "Yes, most war beasts come here this way..."
Depression, mania, suspicion, and disorder are the problems that 99% of war beasts will encounter after being injured and retired.
"I want to ask something," Mu Ling said again, but with a hint of hesitation on her face: "If I use an extreme method to make Jixiang stand up, will you blame me?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and Manager Ge was the first to speak: "Do you really have a solution? I don't blame you. No matter what you do, as long as you can save Jixiang, no one will blame you!"
Mu Ling shook her head: "Manager Ge, I can't guarantee that I can save Jixiang. Maybe if I use my method, it will die faster."
Manager Ge was stunned.
The others also looked at each other.
Doctor John thought for a moment and said, "Even if you do nothing, it will only live until tomorrow at most. If you have any ideas, try it."
Manager Ge gritted his teeth. Yes, it has come to this point. 98%. Having a chance is better than having no chance at all...
Manager Ge said, "Director Mu, please give it a try!" Mu Ling took a deep breath and suddenly felt a huge pressure. She said, "I'll make a call."
Mu Ling went to the side and used her light brain to directly contact Director Zhou, whom she had just met that morning.
Director Zhou was at the military headquarters at the time, personally reporting on the rebel army to the Lieutenant General of the Siwan Star garrison. When he received Mu Ling's call, he was stunned for a moment before answering the call.
After answering the call, Mu Ling on the other end said a few words, and then Director Zhou was stunned.
Director Zhou hesitantly handed his communication forward to Lieutenant General Mark sitting opposite him.
Lieutenant General Marco was puzzled: "Huh?"
Director Zhou was a little dazed: "Looking for you."
Lieutenant General Mark: “???”
-
An hour later, Mu Ling was sitting in a chair at the veterinary station, listening to Dr. John talking to Manager Harry about Roumei and Xiaoduo's conditions.
Mu Ling just took on the task temporarily. Now that Dr. John is free, and this is someone else's veterinary station, the task of examining Roumei and Xiaoduo naturally fell to him.
Dr. John's diagnosis was that the two lions did not seem to be suffering from acclimatization problems, but rather symptoms of rejection.
He spread out some data to Manager Harry and told him that in order to determine what kind of rejection it was, further examinations were needed, and both lions had to be tested.
Manager Harry was worried and hurriedly said, "Do it, do it, do everything!"
Dr. John asked Nurse Wang and the young nurse to help push Roumei and Xiaoduo inside for colonoscopy.
While they were busy, Ling Ren in Mu Ling's arms suddenly sat up straight and looked out of the veterinary station.
When Mu Ling saw Ling Ren's reaction, her eyes rolled and she immediately called Director Zhou.
Director Zhou quickly picked up the phone: "Hello."
Mu Ling asked, "Director Zhou, where are you guys? How long will it take you to get there?"
Director Zhou said helplessly, "There's still half an hour left. We're on the suspended lane, so we'll be there soon."
In half an hour, the suspended lane should be able to travel nearly 100 kilometers.
Mu Ling immediately looked at Ling Ren.
There is nothing wrong with Lingren's nose. It can indeed smell the scent of strange beasts a hundred kilometers away!
So why didn't it smell the alien rat's scent at the first moment on the starship yesterday?
The white fox's sudden excitement startled everyone else in the veterinary station. Manager Ge felt uneasy: "Director Mu, this..."
Mu Ling hugged Ling Ren tightly, constantly comforting it, and said, "It's no use. Please lend me a shot of sleeping pills, the best kind. I don't want to anesthetize Ling Ren, I just want him to sleep for a while."
The young nurse glanced at Dr. John.
Dr. John nodded, and the nurse hurried to get some sleeping pills.
Mu Ling pushed the injection into Lingren's body, then coaxed Lingren and kissed him.
After a while, the white fox yawned, and its body finally went limp against its instinct.
Mu Ling sighed and whispered in Ling Ren's ear, "We're all doing this to save Jixiang. We've been wronged. If Jixiang gets better, it'll thank you. Be good."
Half an hour later, Lieutenant General Mark and Director Zhou arrived.
Everyone went out to greet them, and Mu Ling naturally went out as well.
Lieutenant General Mark was a middle-aged man with an air of authority. He looked tall and imposing in his military uniform. He looked directly at Mu Ling and said in a deep voice, "The experimental beast was borrowed and must be returned."
The military headquarters stationed on each planet has a special laboratory, just like on the God King Planet, where Mu Ling exchanged unconscious hyenas for rewards and banners.
Since the garrison troops on the God King Star need live exotic beasts for experiments, it means that the garrison troops on the Four Bays Star also have live exotic beasts. Mu Ling wants a live exotic beast now.
Mu Ling smiled and said to Lieutenant General Mark: "I will definitely return it, I will definitely return it, I will definitely return the Monty Zoo!"
Lieutenant General Mark: “…”
Manager Ge beside him also hurriedly said: "We will definitely pay it back!"
Lieutenant General Mark sighed, raised his hand, and asked his subordinates to bring in a mutant rabbit.
The mutant rabbit was locked in a cage. It was chirping excitedly and running around the cage.
Manager Harry had already taken Roumei and Xiaoduo to hide in the ward of the veterinary station and would never come out even if he died. He would never let his two treasures get close to such exotic beasts!
Mu Ling looked at the mutant rabbit with multiple wounds on its body and said to Manager Ge, "Tie the cage up with a rope."
Manager Ge came over with the rope he had prepared in advance, but he didn't dare to get close to tie the cage.
A soldier took the rope directly and helped tie it up.
Lieutenant General Mark pursed his lips and looked at Mu Ling: "Just tell us what you want to do, and we will do it. Don't touch your people to avoid any accidents."
Mu Ling quickly thanked him: "Thank you for your help, Lieutenant General."
Lieutenant General Mark looked at Mu Ling again, and he didn't understand. How could such a well-mannered and polite girl do such an outrageous thing as borrowing an exotic beast?
If it weren't for Director Zhou's guarantee, he would have almost thought that this was a rebel army!
Mu Ling said to the soldier who was helping, "Just kick the cage to make the beast scream louder."
The soldier was very confused, but still kicked the cage twice.
Sure enough, the strange rabbit inside began to roar loudly, the sound was sharp and piercing, and it was heartbreaking.
Seeing that the strange beast was almost recovered, Mu Ling checked the time on the computer and counted down: "Ten, nine, eight..."
At this moment, the weak roar of a leopard suddenly sounded in the intensive care unit just across the door.
“Roar—roar—”
Then, Nurse Wang's voice came from inside: "Oh my god, Jixiang is awake!"
Next is…
"Ah! Jixiang has come down to earth!"
"Jixiang fell down!"
"Jixiang, don't move. I'll open the door for you!"
As soon as the door opened, a leopard with an oxygen tube on its body staggered out. It fell as it ran, with a fierce and cold expression on its face. Its misty brown eyes looked out of focus in the direction of the strange beast it smelled. It rushed towards the strange beast regardless of everything, then pounced on the cage with one claw. It was about to die, but it still wanted to bite the strange beast inside to death through the cage!
The whole hall suddenly became chaotic.
Doctor John stood by in astonishment, looking stiffly at the leopard that had come back to life after being stimulated by the strange beast!
After a moment's silence, he looked at Mu Ling opposite him, who had an expression that said, "I knew this would work!"
After a long moment of trance, he finally muttered unconsciously, "Medical miracle?"
