Chapter 70
The morning at the Beek Zoo is still busy and tedious.
When Mu Ling woke up, she found her head resting on Qilin's belly.
She touched Qilin's soft fur, waking Qilin up, and then Jinhu turned his head and rubbed her with his nose.
Mu Ling smiled and flirted with Qilin for a while, then she stood up yawning and looked around the entire animal dormitory.
Most of the animals were still sleeping. Moonlight was holding a pillow and sleeping under the small speaker. Lingren was sleeping with the little wolf Qingjiao. Jixiang and Lightning were sleeping together. Feifan and Lieyan had landed on top of Magic's head at some point. Tayun was sleeping in his own bird's nest. Pimi was sleeping on the lazy sofa.
Seeing that no one was awake, Mu Ling did not wake them up and quietly left the animal dormitory.
Outside, some employees had already woken up. When they saw Mu Ling coming out, they greeted her.
"Good morning, Director."
Mu Ling said good morning to everyone with a smile, then went back to the dormitory to wash up.
After washing up, Mu Ling went straight to the veterinary station.
At the veterinary station, Dr. Bree was on duty last night. Mu Ling knocked on the door, and soon the door opened. Inside, Dr. Bree was standing there with dark circles under his eyes.
Mu Ling was stunned: "Why are you like this?"
Dr. Bray sighed and said, "Don't mention it. Something almost happened last night."
Mu Ling was startled and asked hurriedly, "What happened?"
"Last night, around 3 a.m., Xiaobao's heart suddenly started beating very fast. I heard the alarm going off and quickly gave him a shot to save his heart. Later, I asked about it in the group chat. Professor Liu, who was awake at the time, came down to check on him and said his blood pressure was abnormal. He gave him two more shots of stabilizer. However, I couldn't sleep for the rest of the night and have been awake ever since."
Mu Ling frowned. "Why is the blood pressure suddenly abnormal? Is there something wrong with the postoperative care?"
Dr. Bray shook his head. "It's not postoperative care. Professor Liu said it's most likely related to the experiment they underwent. It's possible that the medication in that experiment conflicted with their current medication, leading to complications... The professors will hold another consultation today and we'll take a closer look then."
Mu Ling nodded. She looked at Dr. Bray's haggard face and said, "Go back and get some sleep. I'll be here to watch over you. The professors will be here soon anyway."
Dr. Bray yawned. He was indeed tired, so he said, "Then call me if you need anything."
After Dr. Bree left, Mu Ling went into the ward area.
Cage B4 is now arranged to look like a hospital ward, with white cloths covering the entire area. The two white tigers are also covered with testing wires, and several IV bottles are hung above their heads.
When Mu Ling walked in, Xuehua woke up and looked up at Mu Ling.
Mu Ling first looked at the two tiger cubs, checked the infusion bottle and the detector, and after making sure that everything was normal, she sat next to Xuehua and patted her thigh towards Xuehua.
Xuehua stared at Mu Ling's thighs.
Xuehua was really dirty, with messy hair and loose skin, and she looked particularly depressed.
After looking at Mu Ling's beautiful legs for a while, Xuehua seemed to understand what Mu Ling meant. It moved forward and put its head on Mu Ling's thigh.
Mu Ling smiled and stroked Xuehua's hair, and asked softly, "Did you not sleep well either? You look more tired today than yesterday."
Xuehua turned over in Mu Ling's arms and stared at the two tiger cubs again.
Mu Ling put her hands on Xuehua's eyelids and covered them, coaxing her, "Go to sleep. I'll be here watching over you. Just have a good sleep."
As Mu Ling spoke, she began to hum a nursery rhyme that her grandfather had hummed to put her to sleep when she was a child. She hummed very slowly, and while humming, she stroked Xuehua's eyes. After a while, she looked down and saw that Xuehua had really closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Mu Ling smiled, leaned her back against the wall, and continued to accompany them.
After a while, there was a sound outside. Mu Ling looked up and saw that it was Brother Xiang coming in.
Mu Ling immediately made a gesture to keep quiet, signaling Brother Xiang not to disturb Xuehua.
Xiang Bie was holding two loaves of bread in his hands. He came to bring breakfast to Mu Ling.
Mu Ling shook her head, indicating that she couldn't leave and didn't want to eat anymore.
Xiang Bie simply took the bag and let Mu Ling eat in the cage.
Mu Ling spread out her hands helplessly.
What can I say about those two hands? They were as dirty as if they had just come back from digging coal.
There's nothing she can do about it, since she just touched snowflakes.
It’s been a long time since Snow Flower washed her hair, and she’s not afraid of getting fleas.
Xiang Bie simply sat down next to Mu Ling, wrapped the bread in a plastic bag, and fed the bread to Mu Ling's mouth.
Mu Ling was stunned for a moment. She looked at Brother Xiang, then finally stretched her head out and took a bite.
Chef Denton's cooking was excellent, and the fresh bread was still warm and very soft.
Mu Ling took two bites, and Xiang Bie handed the milk over again.
Mu Ling held the straw in her mouth, took a sip of milk, and then took a bite of bread.
Two loaves of bread and a box of milk were quickly finished. Xiang Bie crumpled the plastic bag into a ball, then took out a tissue from his pocket, hesitating whether to wipe Mu Ling's mouth.
I've already fed you, so it shouldn't be a big deal if I just wipe it off, right?
Thinking of this, Xiang Bie folded the tissue and was about to take action when he saw Mu Ling raise her arm and wipe her mouth hard on her sleeve until it was clean.
Category: "..."
After Mu Ling wiped her mouth, she found Brother Xiang looking at her. She thought she didn't wipe it clean, so she wiped it again with her sleeve, which was very dirty.
Category: "..."
Xiang Bie sighed, stuffed the tissue into Mu Ling's hand, stood up, and walked out...
Mu Ling didn't take Xiang Ge's departure seriously. She continued to hum the song. As she was humming, she found that Xiaobao's infusion bottle was almost empty.
Mu Ling gently held Xuehua's head away.
Xuehua was sleeping soundly. Even when her head was moved away, she just curled up on the cushion and did not wake up.
Mu Ling stood up carefully, changed Xiaobao's infusion bottle, checked the flow rate of the drip, and then sat down again.
As a result, she had just sat down when the unconscious Xiaobao opposite her suddenly opened his paws.
Mu Ling was stunned. She thought she had seen it wrong. She quickly closed her eyes and opened them again, looking at Xiaobao's paw excitedly.
Soon, the tiger cub stretched out its right paw that was resting on the cushion again...
Its five sharp claws suddenly emerged from the pads of flesh, and then suddenly retracted all together. The movement was quite obvious!
Mu Ling was extremely excited and immediately moved forward. She stroked Baihu's dry nose and called softly, "Xiaobao, Xiaobao, God of War? Can you hear me?"
The white tiger opened its light brown eyes in a daze.
Soon, a slender human figure slowly emerged from its unfocused pupils...
The white tiger looked at the human in front of him, looked, and looked... and suddenly smelled a strong smell of disinfectant at the tip of his nose!
The white tiger was shocked! It tried to stand up immediately, but as soon as it did, it felt pain all over its body. A shrill cry came out of the young tiger's throat: "Woo, woo-woo--"
Mu Ling was startled and hurried to comfort Bai Hu: "Don't be afraid, Xiaobao, don't be afraid. Does it hurt? Does it hurt a lot? Maybe the painkillers are insufficient. Sister will go get you some medicine."
Mu Ling said this and ran outside, calling Dean Wu as she ran.
Xiaobao's screams also woke up Xuehua, who had just fallen into a deep sleep.
Xuehua immediately stood up, went over, gently hugged Xiaobao, and licked his hair tenderly.
Xuehua's care did not calm Xiaobao down. He was still struggling frantically, and his screams were getting louder and louder.
Mu Ling returned with the painkillers. Meanwhile, the computer was connected, and Dean Wu's sleepy voice came over: "Hello."
"Dean Wu, Xiaobao is awake!"
On the other end, Dean Wu's sleepiness instantly disappeared. He hurriedly said, "Come on, come on! We'll be there soon!"
After hanging up the phone, Mu Ling aimed the needle at the interface of the infusion tube and slowly injected the analgesic.
But the white tiger became even more frightened when it saw Mu Ling's actions. It began to kick with its claws and limbs. Because of the movement, it almost broke the infusion needle on its arm.
It's not a direct injection and it doesn't hurt, so why is it reacting so violently?
Mu Ling frowned and watched Bai Hu's every move... Suddenly, she seemed to understand!
This is probably how those rubbish rebels injected the medicine into Dabao and Xiaobao!
Mu Ling's face turned cold instantly. After injecting the painkiller, she hurriedly squatted down and comforted Xiaobao with Xuehua.
Two minutes later, the six professors in Dean Wu's dormitory all ran down.
Some of them hadn't even put on their clothes yet, and they were very surprised to see that Xiaobao was really awake.
Mu Ling looked at their white coats and quickly told them about Xiao Bao's reaction. After listening, the old professors took off their white coats. After making sure that they no longer smelled of disinfectant, they tentatively stepped forward and said, "We need to listen to the stethoscope."
Mu Ling squatted next to Xiaobao's head, controlling it so that the professors could examine him.
Because they were afraid of scaring Xiaobao, the professors moved very quietly and did not dare to go in all at once, but only one at a time.
During this period, perhaps because the analgesics took effect, Xiaobao was no longer in so much pain and finally relaxed a little.
The analgesic also has the effect of relaxing muscles, so the white tiger, which was originally tense all over, now relaxed its limbs. Its head rested in Mu Ling's arms, and its eyes looked at the human in front of it with panic.
Mu Ling could only continue to stroke it to make Baihu believe that she had no ill intentions.
After auscultation, several professors went outside to discuss. After a while, Dean Wu came in and said to Mu Ling, "Everything is normal at the moment, but his mood is very unstable. In addition to the painkillers, he must also be given a sedative."
Mu Ling could only say, "Okay."
Professor Liu brought in the tranquilizer, and Mu Ling covered Xiao Bao's eyes. Only after Professor Liu injected the tranquilizer into the IV tube did Mu Ling let go of Xiao Bao's eyes and looked down at it again.
The white tiger's big eyes were still wide open. Although it could feel that Mu Ling had no ill intentions, it was only a one-year-old child after all. All unfamiliar things would scare it as it had little life experience.
Snowflake continued to lick the tiger cub's fur.
At this moment, Xiaobao finally smelled a familiar scent on the gray tiger.
It tastes very similar to my mom's.
Xuehua rubbed the tiger cub's face with her head. The tiger cub passively accepted it, but its eyes were looking at Mu Ling.
Mu Ling also continued to stroke it, and at the same time comforted it softly: "Don't be afraid, Xiaobao, no one can hurt you here. Grandma and sister are here, and sister will definitely protect you, Xiaobao."
Mu Ling said this, looked around, dipped her hand in some water, and let Baihu lick her hand.
Because of multiple injuries to its internal organs, Xiaobao cannot eat or drink now, but it has been unconscious for so long that its mouth must be very dry, so Mu Ling let it moisten its tongue to relieve the dryness a little.
The white tiger really began to lick Mu Ling's fingers greedily. After licking all the water off Mu Ling's hands, it looked at Mu Ling eagerly, wanting to drink water.
Mu Ling said distressedly: "No more, you won't be able to drink water until at least tomorrow."
Xiaobao didn't understand. He leaned over to look at the water basin, then straightened up and tried to go over.
Mu Ling hurried to stop it, but actually she didn't need to stop it, because Xiaobao fell back by himself, and when he fell back, his butt hit Dabao behind him.
"Hey, be careful." Mu Ling quickly protected the unconscious Dabao.
Xiaobao seemed to have just discovered that there was a tiger behind him.
It turned its head to look at Dabao, then stretched its neck to sniff Dabao.
Mu Ling smiled and asked, "Can you smell it? This is your biological brother."
Xiaobao smelled it, and because of the analgesic, he no longer felt the pain of the wound, but just felt sore all over, so he turned over and moved closer to Dabao.
Mu Ling thought Xiaobao wanted to lick Dabao, so she watched with satisfaction as the brother and sister got close.
Then the next second, Xiaobao bit Dabao's nose!
Mu Ling: “!!!” Ahhhhhhhhhhh!
Mu Ling quickly stopped it: "Xiaobao, what are you doing? What are you doing to your brother!"
Xiaobao had no strength to begin with, and couldn't bite very hard. He suspiciously let go of Dabao's nose, and then went to smell Dabao's face. He seemed to be wondering why his brother, who usually got angry when his nose was bitten, didn't move today.
Because he didn't smell the smell of death, Xiaobao didn't know that Dabao was unconscious. He thought Dabao was asleep, so he raised his paw again.
“Bang!”
Slapped its brother!
Mu Ling: “!!!” Ahhhhhhhhh!
Mu Ling was going crazy. She quickly held down Xiao Bao's paws and complained, "Your brother hasn't woken up yet, how could you hit him!"
Xiaobao looked at Dabao, then at Mu Ling. It sniffed Mu Ling's hand that was holding its paw, then moved closer and licked the water stains on the back of Mu Ling's hand. It was still thirsty.
Seeing this, Mu Ling felt distressed again and said, "Then lick a little more water."
Mu Ling reached her hand into the basin again.
As a result, at this moment, Xiaobao kicked back and suddenly kicked Dabao in the stomach!
Mu Ling: "!!!! Kicking it won't work!"
Mu Ling was so scared that she almost broke out in a sweat. She quickly checked the wounds on Dabao's body.
After confirming that the wound was fine, Mu Ling finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Xuehua, "It's not easy for your eldest grandson to live to this day!"
Xiaobao didn't know what he had done wrong. When he saw Mu Ling go to the other side and hug Dabao's head, he leaned his head in the gray tiger's arms, then looked up at the gray tiger innocently.
Xuehua lowered her head and continued to lick her granddaughter's hair, coaxing her affectionately.
Mu Ling felt sorry for Dabao, so she touched Dabao. Then, just as she was about to put Dabao down and let Xiaobao lick the water, the tiger head in her arms suddenly moved.
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling: “!!!”
Mu Ling looked at Dabao in her arms in shock. Thirty seconds later, Mu Ling, with her round black eyes, met Dabao's light brown animal eyes.
Mu Ling instantly shouted: "Dean Wu!!!"
"It's Chinese New Year!!! Dabao is awake too!!!"
There was a sudden chaos outside, and then the professors listened to the heart's stethoscope in the same way. Everyone was cautious in the same way. After they confirmed that Dabao's body was normal and even healthier than Xiaobao, the atmosphere in the entire ward instantly relaxed!
Just like that, after being in a coma for nearly thirty hours after the operation, the two tiger cubs finally survived and woke up safely.
But compared to Xiaobao's nervousness, fear and stress after waking up, Dabao is much more emotionally stable.
Mu Ling kept hugging Dabao's head.
Before, when Mu Ling hugged Xiaobao's head, Xiaobao whimpered and cried out in pain, but now, Xiaobao just opened his pair of innocent big eyes and looked at Mu Ling ignorantly.
Mu Ling touched Dabao's hair, and Dabao closed his eyes and let Mu Ling touch him.
Mu Ling kissed Dabao on the forehead, and Dabao rubbed Mu Ling's chin with his nose, also showing affection to her.
Xuehua came over and licked Dabao's hair, and Dabao also licked Xuehua's neck hair, as if he knew very well that this was his grandmother.
Even when the professors secretly touched Dabao's butt, Dabao just moved his butt slightly, with a little intention of dodging, but without any intention of attacking.
Mu Ling and the professors looked at each other in surprise.
"Could this be the effect of those experimental drugs? Dabao seems to have lost his animal instincts?"
Just as they finished saying this, suddenly, Dabao in Mu Ling's arms suddenly jumped up, then it bared its teeth fiercely and slapped Xiaobao's head!
Everyone then realized that Xiaobao was trying to get close to Dabao again, and Xiaobao seemed to have long been accustomed to Dabao stretching out his claws to stop him, so he opened his mouth and bit Dabao's hand.
It bit right at the first bite, and Dabao immediately made a delicate "woohoo" sound and pushed his head hard into Mu Ling's arms.
Mu Ling quickly pried open Xiao Bao's mouth and freed Da Bao's claws. She then touched Da Bao's hand, blew on it, and coaxed it, saying, "Oh, it doesn't hurt anymore, it doesn't hurt anymore. Our Da Bao doesn't feel any pain anymore."
Dabao seemed to be feeling aggrieved. He drooped his ears and buried his face in Mu Ling's palm. He then secretly showed one eye to peek at Xiaobao next to him.
Mu Ling continued to protect Dabao, while wondering what was going on.
At this moment, Xiao Zhao suddenly ran in and said breathlessly, "Principal, there are two students squatting at the gate!"
Mu Ling was stunned: "What student?"
Xiao Zhao said, "There were two students squatting outside our house. They said they were students from the Furka Beast Taming Military Academy. They came last night and squatted outside the door all night, saying they were looking for you!"
Mu Ling was puzzled: "Looking for me?"
Mu Ling paused for a moment, then asked, "Fulka Beast Taming Military School? Fulka Planet?"
Mu Ling suddenly thought of something: "Hurry up and ask Brother Xiang to find out who they are!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiang Bie came in from outside, followed by two dusty young students. Xiang Bie looked at Mu Ling and said, "I asked, one is called Jiang Yiwei and the other is called Xu Xinling. They said they are the masters of Dabao and Xiaobao."
Mu Ling immediately looked at the two somewhat reserved young students behind her. Their expressions were initially uneasy, but when the girl saw the white tiger in the cage, her uneasiness instantly turned to excitement. She blurted out, "God of War!"
The young boy immediately clenched his fists and shouted uncertainly, "Champion?"
Mu Ling noticed that after hearing their calls, Dabao and Xiaobao, who were lying on the ground, stretched their necks at the same time and looked outside.
"God of War! God of War!" Xu Xinling's tears suddenly flowed out. She rushed to the front in panic and stood outside the B4 cage. Her fingers tightly gripped the railings, her mouth covered, and she looked at the scarred and bandaged white tiger on her left. She called out with difficulty: "God of War..."
Xiaobao's long and thin tail resting on the cushion suddenly swung. He looked in the direction of Xu Xinling, as if he remembered something. He licked his lips and let out a soft roar.
"God of War! It really is you, God of War!" Xu Xinling could no longer care about anything else. She immediately went in, knelt on the ground, and sadly stroked the bandages on Baihu's body: "How could this happen? How could you become like this..."
Xiaobao took the initiative to lick Xu Xinling's fingers, and his tail continued to wag behind him.
At this time, Jiang Yiwei also walked to the door with stiff hands and feet.
"champion……"
Jiang Yiwei's voice was hoarse, but Dabao still recognized it. The white tiger, which was also covered with scars, made a coquettish sound of "woohoo" and wanted to get closer to Jiang Yiwei.
Jiang Yiwei tried to stop it in a hurry. He seemed not good at speaking. His lips opened several times and his eyes were as red as blood. In the end, he could only say: "Don't move, don't move..." As he spoke, he lay down beside Dabao.
Animal reactions cannot be faked.
Mu Ling slowly put Dabao down, then hugged Xuehua and moved back a little so that the two students could get closer to their war beasts.
Xu Xinling nodded gratefully to Mu Ling, and immediately hugged Xiaobao gently. Jiang Yiwei also stroked Dabao's hair lovingly, sniffing with his nose.
Seeing the two white tigers showing affection towards Xu Xinling and Jiang Yiwei, Mu Ling said, "You guys are lucky enough to have caught up. They just woke up."
Xu Xinling burst into tears again, choking with sobs, "We thought they..."
Mu Ling waved her hand. "Wait a minute, the garrison troops will arrive. You can talk to them. Let me first tell you about the current situation of Dabao and Xiaobao, the champion war gods. They were in a car accident and their internal organs were damaged. They must be in a lot of pain right now. The war gods have been given painkillers and tranquilizers, and their initial resistance has gradually calmed down."
"But the champion..." Mu Ling looked at Dabao and Jiang Yiwei hesitantly.
The young boy suddenly became very nervous, his heart in his throat: "Guan, Guan Guan...what's wrong?"
Mu Ling glanced at the old professors outside the cage. They all had regretful expressions on their faces and shook their heads.
Jiang Yiwei panicked even more. He looked at Mu Ling anxiously, "Director Mu, you, tell me, no matter what Champion becomes, I'll be with him for the rest of my life! Even if he can't be a war beast anymore, I won't be a Beast Tamer anymore! I'll adopt him and stay with him as long as he's alive!"
Seeing the young man say this, Mu Ling sighed and continued, "I can't tell anything else, but the champion's bestiality seems to have weakened a lot. You know, for a war beast, the lack of bestiality is fatal..."
Jiang Yiwei didn't quite understand: "What does it mean to weaken the animal nature?"
Mu Ling told Dabao everything that had happened since he woke up. The gist of it was, "It's unusual for it to be docile. It must be affected by the drug. We can't be sure right now. The drug can't be metabolized. If it can't be metabolized, it might..."
Jiang Yiwei: "..."
Xu Xinling: “…”
At this time, Xu Xinling quietly hugged his God of War tighter, protecting him unnoticeably.
Jiang Yiwei looked at Xu Xinling and the God of War quietly.
Their reaction seemed off. Mu Ling was puzzled: "Student Jiang?"
Jiang Yiwei took a deep breath, sorted out his words, and then said, "The champion is not without animal nature, it's just that it has been scared by the God of War since it was a child."
Mu Ling: “……?”
Jiang Yiwei said, "Generally speaking, wherever the God of War is, the Champion will behave very docilely and well-behaved. This is its survival wisdom. Only by acting like a spoiled child can it gain help from others and survive under the evil power of the God of War..."
Mu Ling: “……?”
"Ahem." Xu Xinling tried to stop him weakly, "Don't say that..."
Jiang Yiwei immediately looked at Xu Xinling.
Xu Xinling felt guilty again. He lowered his head, touched the God of War, and stopped talking.
Mu Ling was confused. She asked, puzzled, "You mean Dabao is close to his family because he's afraid of Xiaobao, so he's taking advantage of others by being close to them?"
Jiang Yiwei said heartbrokenly, "It can't do anything. It can defeat anyone, but it can't defeat the God of War! What can it do?"
No, what is this? Mu Ling scratched her head: "But Dabao's reaction is really slow. Look at them, they have suffered so many serious injuries. Xiaobao cried out in pain as soon as he woke up, but Dabao never cried out in pain."
Jiang Yiwei said tiredly, "That's because the God of War is here. Wherever the God of War is, the champion is always in pain. How can it tell whether it is hurting from being injured or being beaten again while it was asleep..."
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling looked at Dabao, then at Xiaobao, and then at Xu Xinling: "Really, is that so?"
Xu Xinling swallowed hard, "So, that's why it's called the God of War... Ha, haha..." Then he tried to explain, "But the God of War definitely doesn't target the champion! It fights other beasts too!"
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling was numb.
Wow, the bully sister and her weak brother!
Xiaobao looked afraid of pain and people, but it turned out to be a bandit!
How did Dabao survive from childhood to adulthood? He was bullied by his sister so much that he grew a brain! He even learned to gain sympathy!
It’s not easy at all!
