Chapter 71
The awakening of Dabao and Xiaobao not only made the people in Piccolo Zoo feel relieved, but also made the people in the military feel relieved.
No matter what, these are two S-level war beasts.
The military personnel talked with Jiang Yiwei and Xu Xinling separately for a while, and after obtaining their confessions, they reported the new clues to their superiors.
Major Chang is now responsible for protecting thirty professors and two S-class war beasts. The subsequent investigation of the case will be handled by higher-level leaders.
Mu Ling didn't know much about the case, and she was more concerned about another matter now.
The professors and the guards occupied the last floor of the dormitory, so when the war beast nursery opened, the keepers from other zoos would have nowhere to live.
Mu Ling didn't know when the professors would leave, so she could only ask Dr. Bray indirectly.
Upon hearing this, Dr. Bray said, "It seems they're not planning on leaving for now. I saw the messages in the group chat, and it seems they've even had someone bring in some equipment. They're saying they're going to do a full set of cell tests on Dabao and Xiaobao. They say that after that, they'll be able to determine what experiments Dabao and Xiaobao were used for."
Mu Ling hadn't expected the teachers to be so thoughtful, and she was immediately moved. "They even went so far as to ship the machine over. They're truly national-level doctors, and they're truly compassionate!"
Dr. Bray stroked his chin and muttered, "It's not necessarily just for Dabao and Xiaobao. They might have other motives."
Mu Ling was puzzled: "What other purpose?"
Dr. Bray snorted. "They've been asking me about the War Beast Nursery. They've been asking me if we need a veterinarian now that it's open. I'm thinking they might want to cure Dabao and Xiaobao, prove their worth, and then negotiate with us about retaining their positions."
Mu Ling: “…”
“Puff.”
Mu Ling laughed out loud. "Doctor Bray, what are you thinking? How could they possibly stay in our zoo? They're either senior executives at major veterinary hospitals or heads of major research labs. Why would they stay here and work for us instead of being the top bosses?"
Dr. Bray glanced at Mu Ling: "There are so many plans."
Mu Ling laughed: "Then what do you think they want? Money? How can I afford to hire them?"
Dr. Bray was too lazy to tell Mu Ling. Anyway, the professors hadn't mentioned this matter yet, so it was just his guess. He said, "Anyway, they definitely won't leave now, but there are too many of them. How about I talk to them and ask if they want some of them to go back?"
Mu Ling hesitated for a moment, then waved her hand. "Forget it. If they want to stay, then let them. They meant well and helped us wholeheartedly. We're grateful, so there's no reason to kick them out. It's just that this six-person dormitory is really too much for them. They're all in their sixties and seventies, and the youngest is 55. They're still being made to sleep on iron beds, which are so shaky. Elderly people are light sleepers. Didn't you say that Professor Liu was still awake at three in the morning? They must not be used to sleeping here. So, can you ask them if they're willing to stay at a hotel at the foot of the mountain? I'll cover the hotel expenses and provide daily pick-up and drop-off. At least a hotel will allow them to sleep more comfortably."
Seeing that the director had said so, Dr. Bray went to talk to Dean Wu.
Dean Wu had indeed felt his sleep quality deteriorating over the past two days. He heard that there was a hotel next to the botanical garden at the foot of the mountain, and it was only a fifteen-minute drive there and back, so he agreed to stay at the hotel. However, he said that Mu Ling didn't need to pay for the expenses, and they would pay for it themselves.
Mu Ling refused. When she took her employees to send the professors to the hotel, she silently paid the accommodation fee for a week. If the professors still stayed there after a week, they could renew the fee then.
The professors can stay in the hotel, and the guards can also stay in the hotel. Mu Ling doesn't have to worry about their accommodation expenses. They are performing official duties, so the expenses will naturally be reimbursed.
The five soldiers who stayed in the Beak Zoo to protect the two cubs still need to continue living in the Beak Zoo.
Mu Ling said it was no problem, and after this tidying up, several rooms were instantly freed up, enough for the first batch of keepers of the war beast nursery to live in.
-
A week later, at Beek Zoo, nine in the morning.
At this time, some tourists had just entered the park and had not yet taken the shuttle bus up the mountain.
Two or three hundred tourists were shopping and taking photos in the service area. I don’t know which primary school was rich enough to grab three group tickets. At this moment, twenty-five primary school students and eight leading teachers were gathering in the square.
"Ding ding." At this moment, the gate suddenly opened completely, and a small truck drove in.
The truck had the name "Silin Zoo" written on it. As soon as the truck came in, the staff of the Beek Zoo immediately stepped forward to guide the car, asking it not to drive towards the square, but to drive into the area covered by the buildings on the left.
The construction shelter area, like any other construction site, was surrounded by a waterproof sheet with a sign saying "No entry during construction" written on it.
At this moment, a hole was opened in the covered area, and when the truck went in, people outside could also get a glimpse of what was going on inside.
"Hey, it looks like a glass house, just like the one over at the animal dorm."
"Wow, are they going to open separate animal dormitories?"
"When will it open? Will we see more animals then? If the enclosure opens, will the visiting hours be relaxed? I dream of an enclosure open all day long!"
"I feel like this isn't where the war beasts are kept. Didn't the director say before that he wanted to use it as a duty room, where you can see a mix of duty animals every day when you come in?"
The tourists were discussing enthusiastically. At this moment, the door at the back of the truck opened and two staff members pushed out a cage.
Those with sharp eyes could immediately see the animal in the cage.
"It's a red panda. I saw a red panda!"
The red panda is a small panda with a reddish-brown body and a nine-section pattern on its tail. Because of its small size, red pandas can be kept as pets on some planets.
The tourists were very surprised to see that the Beek Zoo had introduced red pandas, especially the primary school students. They probably had just learned about red pandas in their textbooks and immediately clamored to see them.
The teachers had no choice but to comfort them, saying that they might not be able to see it today, but would have to wait until next time.
The student refused: "Can we see the red panda today and the giant panda next time?"
The teacher was at a loss for words. "Giant pandas are native to the Ancient Blue Planet. Aside from the Iron Bear species that have evolved fangs as war beasts, they may appear on other planets. Ordinary giant pandas are not adapted to the climates of other planets. They can only live on the Ancient Blue Planet."
The student acted coquettishly: "But I want to see the giant pandas..."
Another group of students did not forget their original aspirations: "I want to see red pandas, I want to see red pandas now..."
The teachers were so annoyed by the children that they had no choice but to try to talk to the staff and ask if they could let the children watch from a distance, without getting close.
The staff member who asked the question happened to be Xiao Zhao, who quickly explained: "Actually, that wasn't a red panda, it was a snow bear."
It's like the giant panda evolved into the iron bear species, and the iron bear species is more aggressive than the ordinary soft, fat and cute giant panda.
One hundred and fifty years ago, after the appearance of alien beasts, in order to resist the racial invasion brought by the alien beast virus, evolved species also appeared among the red pandas.
This evolved species is called the Snow Bear.
At first glance, the snow bear looks the same as the red panda, but the red panda's four paws are black, while the snow bear's four paws are white, just like wearing four white gloves. Moreover, the red panda's teeth are ordinary teeth, while the snow bear's teeth are serrated like sharks.
The Snow Bear is a very ferocious species of war beast. Every Snow Bear is born as a potential war beast, but their talents are different. Compared with large war beasts, the smaller and more flexible Snow Bears are more likely to launch surprise attacks on alien beasts, causing unexpected and fatal damage to them.
The evolution of the Snow Bear is aimed at exotic beasts. Therefore, in the world of war beasts, the Snow Bear is also known as the "cutest exotic beast assassin."
Upon hearing that the animal was actually a snow bear, the teacher was also surprised and quickly asked, "Is this also a retired war beast? Will it be caged in the animal dormitory in the future? Wow, will the director also take a video? Can we see a video introducing the snow bear today?"
The teacher suddenly turned into a fan and clung to Xiao Zhao just like her students clung to her!
Xiao Zhao was sweating profusely and quickly said, "You'll have to ask the director about this. Hey, aren't you guys going to get on the bus? You can get on now. I wish you a pleasant visit!"
After saying that, Xiao Zhao quickly ran away with her tail between her legs. She was just a ticket seller, how could she know so many things? The future arrangements still depended on the head teacher.
At this time, Mu Ling already knew that Xueli Xiong had been sent here.
But she didn't go to the nursery. She was sitting in cage B4, cleaning Snowflake's ears with a cotton swab.
Snowflake doesn't like having its ears cleaned. As soon as Mu Ling dropped the liquid in, it started digging its ears with its claws and hiding its head in Mu Ling's arms.
Mu Ling didn't let it hide and insisted on cleaning out the ear mites and earwax in its ears. Now Xuehua was not willing to leave Dabao and Xiaobao at all, but it was too dirty. Mu Ling couldn't give it a bath, but she had to at least clean it.
Xiang Bie leaned against the outside of the cage and asked calmly, "Are you really not going to take a look?"
Mu Ling continued to clean Xuehua's ears without even looking up: "Isn't Fas here?"
"Do you believe he can handle it?"
Mu Ling smiled and said, "Of course I believe him. He's very well trained and is the best breeder I've taught so far. Besides, he's the one-on-one caregiver for this snow bear."
Xiang Bie looked at Mu Ling's ear: "What are you listening to in your headphones?"
Mu Ling: “…”
Xiang Bie's tone was cold: "You are not monitoring in real time, are you?"
Mu Ling: “…”
Under Xiang Ge's all-seeing gaze, like a searchlight, Mu Ling could only pitifully turn on the loudspeaker of her headphones and turn on her computer. She was about to cry, "Okay, I admit I'm not very reassured! I'm extremely nervous! But Fas must take this step alone! Otherwise, he will never be able to take care of a retired war beast independently!"
Mu Ling was video chatting with Faston. She was monitoring the process of Faston receiving the Snow Bear through the surveillance camera.
Xiang Bie looked at Mu Ling's anxious expression, glanced at the screen again, and said slowly: "You taught him, he can do it."
Mu Ling didn't say anything, just stared at the screen...
At this time, in the unfinished construction area, the keeper who was responsible for delivering the snow bear was suppressing his anger.
The breeder was completely confused about what was happening.
I don’t understand why Manager Chen sent “Shalu” to the Bick Zoo, I don’t understand why Director Mu of the Bick Zoo didn’t come out in person to receive “Shalu”, I don’t understand why “Shalu” has to live in such a small glass house, I don’t understand how the keeper of the Bick Zoo dared to say so shamelessly that he wanted to feed “Shalu” dried meat!
He didn't understand, agree or feel satisfied with anything. He thought these people didn't take his "killing" seriously at all!
"Slaughter is an A-rank war beast. Although its damage value is only around 70%, it suffers from severe mania and is extremely emotionally unstable. It not only likes to attack humans and animals, but even attacks itself when it gets angry. I don't think you should be close to it."
Fas looked at Silin's breeder and said awkwardly, "I won't touch it. I'll just feed it through the cage so it can get familiar with me first."
The killer breeder frowned: "Why should it be familiar with you? Isn't it my responsibility to take care of it?"
Fass was embarrassed: "We both take care of it together. You are its guardian and I am its teacher. It's like, you are my wife's family and I am my husband's family. We both love it."
Killing breeder: "..."
What an abstract metaphor!
But maybe it’s because the other party mentioned “I love it”, it sounds like he really treats killing as a family?
The killer breeder finally took a half step back and warned, "Don't get too close. Put down your protective suit and cover your hands. Its teeth are hooked, and if it bites, it will gouge out a piece of your flesh!"
Fass quickly did as he was told, then took out a piece of dried meat and tentatively handed it to the cage.
The snow bear in the cage immediately pounced over, opened its ferocious fangs, and roared wildly at Fas outside!
The Snow Bear was too ferocious, and Fas wanted to retreat for a moment, but he suddenly remembered the director's teachings: "The first time you feed it, either the beast will be afraid of you, or it will attack you and intimidate you. Remember, if it is afraid of you, you need to be more patient to comfort it. It must be afraid to be afraid, so you must give it enough sense of security, even if this process may take a long time, you must persist. But don't coax it after ten minutes. Ten minutes is a critical point. If you continue to coax it after ten minutes, it will give it the illusion that you are forcing it. At this time, you need to change your method..."
"If it threatens you, it means it's demonstrating against you. You absolutely must not retreat at this moment. If you do, it will believe that intimidation is effective and that violence can solve problems. Once it develops this perception, it will look down on you in subsequent encounters, viewing you as a puppet it can exploit at will. You must maintain an equal relationship with the war beast... The relationship between a war beast and its master is one of equality. Deep down, a war beast will only respect equal humans; it doesn't respect weak ones."
As the director's words flashed through his mind, Fas, who was about to retreat, immediately stood up straight. His hands were covered by the protective suit. Even if the snow bear attacked him, he would not be hurt. He had nothing to be afraid of. He was equal to it!
The fingers holding the dried meat still stood there steadily. Seeing that the human did not retreat, the snow bear immediately stretched out its claws to scratch the human.
Fas took his hand away to avoid the attack, then pushed the dried meat to the snow bear's mouth, as if to feed it directly into its mouth.
This time it was the Snow Bear that was scared back. It retreated to the other side of the cage, raised its two paws, scratched at Fas in the air, growled, and tucked its tail between its legs.
fear.
After attempts at intimidation failed, the snow bear exhibited fearful behavior.
Fass immediately adopted the first method the director mentioned for dealing with animals that are afraid of him. He softened his voice and coaxed the animal gently.
"Your name is Kill, right? Kill, you're so beautiful! You must be the most beautiful snow bear in the world. Look at your hair, how shiny it is, your ears are so pointed, and your teeth, so dense and so white. Do you know how to brush your teeth? What flavor of animal toothpaste do you like?"
Fass did not hesitate to launch an inhumane flattery attack on the Snow Bear, which could not understand human language.
This was also taught by the headmaster.
The headmaster: "If you want to praise, you must praise it vigorously. Praise everything you see, and praise it as if it's unique in the world! Do you think it's strange? The war beast can't understand, so what's the point of praising it? Wrong! Dead wrong! They can understand, and their owners must have praised them before, but you don't know how their owners praised them or what parts of their bodies were praised, so you should praise them all at once. At the same time, pay attention to the war beast's expression to see which word of praise it responds to the most. Next time, focus on that word. This is the fastest way to improve your relationship! If you don't know how to praise animals, read these books: "The Art of Language", "Praise Makes People Progress", and "A Collection of Wording for Primary and Secondary School Students (Beautiful Edition)". Today's homework is to write an essay praising the headmaster. The requirement is to write a composition of at least 2,000 words, and no more than three repeated words!"
Fas thought about how he had been sent back to rewrite his homework twice because he was not good at speaking and his praise for the head teacher was not skillful enough. After thinking it over, he immediately directed all the compliments he could remember at Xueli Xiong.
The black hair changed into bright red hair, the pitch-black eyes changed into sharp animal pupils, the charming smile changed into a murderous smile, the slender fingers changed into sharp claws, and the snow-white skin changed into thick body hair.
Fass praised for a full ten minutes, strictly following his master's instructions, "Ten minutes of coaxing is a milestone."
After ten minutes of praising and coaxing, Fas looked into the cage again and saw the snow bear moving its black nose and moving a little closer. It sniffed Fas, and then sniffed the dried meat in Fas's hand.
Realizing that the snow bear had really loosened up, Fas immediately suppressed his excitement and handed the dried meat to it.
The snow bear may have really heard too many familiar words from Fas's mouth. It scratched its belly with its sharp claws, then opened its mouth, grabbed the dried meat, took two steps back, stuck to the corner of the cage, lowered its head and spit out the dried meat. Then it looked up at Fas again, lowered its head to look at the dried meat, and sniffed it repeatedly.
It may not eat this jerky, but it is showing signs of accepting food!
In the first battle between Fas and Snowbear, Fas wins.
Fas's chest couldn't help but pound. He remembered that he was still communicating with his master, and immediately wanted to ask his master how he was doing. But when he looked up, he saw the killing breeder with his mouth opened into an "o" shape, looking at him in shock.
Fass was a little embarrassed and said, "Okay, now we can send it into the glass house. Let's go."
Fas pushed the cage inside, and the snow bear in the cage immediately became nervous again, but when it saw that it was Fas who was pushing, it was not particularly nervous anymore. It just curled up in the corner, and then picked up the dried meat to play with it.
The killing breeder behind: "..."
This, this... Is Killing and the keeper at the Piccolo Zoo... communicating?
So, they communicated?
ah?
Ahhhhh?
But Killing will never take the food away from him!
Until now, when he put down the food, he had to go far away and kill people before he could eat it!
Why?
Why?
The killing keeper immediately looked around, gazing at the entire Piccolo Zoo... Could this be the Piccolo Mysticism that was rumored on the Internet?
It is said that war beasts will become extremely docile as long as they live here, as if they were possessed by an evil spirit!
Is it actually true?!
After pushing Killing into a 40-square-meter glass house that was decorated as warm and comfortable as an animal dormitory, Fass pulled out the empty cage and planned to let Silin's people take the cage away.
As a result, when he turned his head, he saw the killing breeder standing behind him with bright eyes.
Fas closed the glass door, confused: "What, what happened?"
The Kill Breeder grabbed Fas's hand and said excitedly, "Master, I want to learn this!"
Fass: “…”
Fass pulled his hand back awkwardly, then raised his chin and whispered, "This is our sect's unique skill."
The slaughter breeder hurriedly asked: "Then our master is still accepting disciples?"
Fas said, "You're an auditor from another school, so you're already qualified to attend classes. We have classes every day from 6:30 PM, after the school closes, to 8:30 PM, before lunch, for two hours a day."
The Kill Breeder nodded repeatedly: "I will report on time tonight!"
Fass added, "I've only just learned the basics of communicating with the beasts, and Slaughter was being more lenient today. If I encounter a more difficult beast, I'll still need Master to intervene. My Master, the head of Piccolo Zoo, handles everything from the Ripping Tiger to the Blazing Leopard."
The slaughter breeder hurriedly said: "Master Mu's name is well-known!"
Fas said, "Then say hello to Master."
He said, pointing to his chest.
The killer breeder then noticed that Fas had a small camera hanging on his chest. He thought it was a brooch.
The killer breeder quickly greeted the camera. Mu Ling on the other side of the camera: "..."
Mu Ling was extremely embarrassed and said to Fas awkwardly, "You performed well. I'll come over to check on you later. Don't lead the newcomers astray!"
Having said that, Mu Ling quickly hung up the phone. When she looked up, she saw Brother Xiang leaning against the door and smiling.
Mu Ling felt even more embarrassed and could only change the subject: "This at least proves that my training was effective. This isn't a particularly difficult beast. Through guidance and training with animal psychology, an ordinary breeder can also control it."
Xiang Bie said: "Just be thankful that it hasn't had a manic episode yet. If it had, Fas wouldn't have been able to handle it."
Mu Ling pursed her lips and nodded: "An attack is troublesome, let's observe first."
Who would have thought that, after just saying he was observing in the morning, Fas came to Mu Ling anxiously in the afternoon: "Master, Master, there's something wrong with the killing!"
Mu Ling was coaxing Xiaobao to take medicine. Upon hearing this, she immediately pried open Xiaobao's mouth, reached her hand into Xiaobao's throat, stuffed the pill in, and then pinched Xiaobao's mouth to let him swallow it.
Xiaobao was completely confused. They were just kissing and hugging each other, why did the atmosphere suddenly change?
"Did you swallow it?" Mu Ling pried open Xiaobao's mouth again and looked at its throat. She didn't see the pill, so she checked under its tongue. Seeing that Xiaobao hadn't hidden the pill either, she quickly got up and walked outside, shouting, "Doctor Bree, go watch over Dabao and Xiaobao. Don't let Xiaobao beat Dabao again!"
Now Dabao and Xiaobao really need someone to take care of them. Xiaobao will take every opportunity to abuse Dabao, and Dabao is just a complete punching bag!
Mu Ling followed Fas to the construction site in a hurry. Six glass rooms had been built and four were under construction. They would be completed tomorrow and would be open to the public after they were completed.
When Mu Ling arrived outside the killing room, she saw the Snow Bear inside going crazy.
The killing keeper was also standing at the door, his face filled with anxiety.
Mu Ling asked: "What's going on?"
Suddenly, it started biting the doll and scratching the ground like crazy. It was completely inexplicable behavior.
The Killing Keeper said, "It's attacking its own shadow. When Killing is sick, it will attack anything. If it sees people, it will attack people. If it sees animals, it will attack its own shadow. It has been displeased with its own shadow for a long time!"
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling picked up the protective suit hanging at the door, wrapped herself in it, and put on a helmet.
The killer breeder hurriedly said, "You want to go in? You can't go in now, it will attack you!"
Mu Ling's face was serious. "But now is the time when it is most uncomfortable. If you can't accompany it to face it now, it will never open its heart to you. Fas, you also put on the protective suit and helmet, and come in with me!"
Fass did so immediately.
Soon, the two entered the glass room together.
As soon as the door closed, the snow bear inside immediately took an attacking stance, turned its head, bared its teeth, and glared at them fiercely.
Fas was very nervous. He asked cautiously, "Master..."
"Shh." Mu Ling interrupted Fas and slowly walked forward.
The furious Snow Bear twisted its face into a ferocious one. It immediately let out a "ha" sound, and its body shot out like a sharp sword, biting Mu Ling's right arm that was across her chest.
With the protective suit, Mu Ling would not be hurt. In fact, due to the unique toughness of the protective suit, the serrations of the snow bear did not press on her flesh.
"It's okay, it's okay."
The Snow Bear just hung on Mu Ling's hand, thinking of biting off her hand viciously. Mu Ling let it bite her, and at the same time stretched out her other hand, gently approached the Snow Bear's body, and slowly stroked its back fur.
"Ha!" The Snow Bear immediately jumped away from Mu Ling as if stimulated, and then roared at Mu Ling!
Mu Ling bent down and stretched out her hand to Xueli Xiong: "Come, kill, come again."
"Ha!" The snow bear pounced on her again and bit Mu Ling's hand for the second time. Mu Ling also stroked its back fur with her other hand for the second time. But this time the snow bear was on guard. It immediately turned around to attack and bit Mu Ling's left hand with its teeth.
Mu Ling still let it bite her, then stroked its back with her right hand.
The Snow Bear jumped away again in anger. It didn't like being petted!
The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time, the snow bear tried several different ways, but every time it attacked humans from different angles, it could only bite the humans' arms, and then its back hair would inevitably be stroked!
By the seventh time, the Snow Bear decided that even if he was touched, he would bite through the human.
It bit very hard, but Mu Ling's caressing of it was always gentle. As she stroked it, she kept talking: "Why does mania occur? Why does the nerve damage develop in this direction? Is it because you have a bad temper and are a stubborn child? Your name is Killing, and your master must be a hot-tempered person too. Did he teach you to be like this? Did he turn you into a child who only knows how to fight, always tense, and forgets how to relax and be gentle?"
As Mu Ling asked, she changed from stroking the back hair to stroking the head hair and then the belly hair.
It's really rare to be touched like this!
The Snow Bear spat out the human's hand again, then turned and ran to the corner, hunched over, staring at the human.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
Time passed minute by minute, until after who knows how long, Fas felt that waiting like this was not going to work, so he asked softly, "Master... then, what should we do next?"
Mu Ling replied calmly: "What do you mean? Haven't you noticed that it has stabilized?"
Fas was stunned, and then suddenly realized that it seemed to be true!
The Snow Bear was just looking at them now, not attacking them or its own shadow!
It was as if the pause button was pressed, and it stopped...
Watching them stop...
As long as you can stop, isn’t that a kind of stability?
But how could this happen?
How did you do it? What was your thinking?
Fas immediately started brainstorming and frantically reviewed what his master had just done!
After a while, he came up with a word - sexual harassment.
The master sexually harassed Shalu through her tireless use of her dirty hands, scaring Shalu so much that he quickly ran away. Then he began to vigilantly follow the master, the scumbag, to prevent the master from getting close to him and tempting his body again!
As a result, it stared and stared so hard that it forgot that it was going to go manic.
The little panda can only remember one thing at a time, and that thing has changed from "I'm going to destroy the world" to "There's an old pervert here"!
Then the master used this roundabout way to stabilize Xueli Bear's emotions and soothe his behavior.
Fass: “…”
This is how it was done!
Fas was just amazed!
As expected, in the realm of flirting with war beasts, pulling and testing them, the master has really been making progress!
Is this Aquaman’s confidence?
