Chapter 77
Major Chang appeared at the Beek Zoo in less than twenty minutes.
Major Chang is now responsible for protecting the safety of the old professors. He is on duty tonight and is at the hotel at the foot of the mountain.
After meeting Mu Ling, Major Chang asked directly, "How can you be sure that the employees at Longping Island Zoo saw rebels? You haven't seen that person or that war beast."
Mu Ling nodded. "I really haven't seen it, so I didn't call the police directly, nor did I send a report to the military headquarters. I have no evidence, but I just have suspicions, so I contacted you. Major Chang, didn't you say we were friends? So, as a friend, could you help me check it out?"
Major Chang looked at Mu Ling quietly.
Mu Ling then explained her loyalty. "You were probably aware of the news coverage of the man-made alien beast attack on Xuan Gu Star a year ago. I don't know what happened to that traitor who betrayed the Federation. I only care about his war beast, the mastiff, and whether it's still alive. The retired Red Heart Fox from our park and the mastiff grew up together, close friends. They have a very good relationship. Now, the Red Heart Fox has become intermittently delirious. Even if we take good care of it, some things are irreplaceable to it."
"Major Chang, I don't understand military and national affairs. I just want our war beast to recover both physically and mentally. Its owner and friends are people it cares deeply about. Its owner is still in a coma and can't visit it, but we really want to know if its good friends are still alive. Even if it's just one person who looks like it, we want to find out as much as we can."
Major Chang looked up at the brightly lit glass house in the distance and said after a while, "Then I'll ask for you, but you know, I'm no longer in charge of the rebel case."
Mu Ling was stunned, looking at him in confusion, blinking in confusion: "Huh?"
Major Chang saw that Mu Ling looked clueless, and his eyes deepened slightly.
He had not mentioned to Mu Ling that the poaching case and the illegal experiment case on the two cubs were related to the rebels. Matters concerning the rebels were military secrets and could not be disclosed to the outside world. But now Mu Ling suddenly came to him because of matters concerning the rebels, which gave him an illusion. Did Mu Ling know that he was busy with the rebel cases before, so she came to him?
If this is the case, then the nature of the matter is serious. If Mu Ling knew military secrets, it would be his mistake and he would be punished, and Mu Ling would also be questioned.
But now that Mu Ling seemed unaware, he breathed a sigh of relief and said casually, "I was in charge of the rebel case before, a long time ago."
Mu Ling nodded in understanding and asked, "Can we ask about the mastiff?"
Major Chang said, "I have some friends on the capital planet. Let's ask them first."
Mu Ling smiled, then said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you so much for troubling you. By the way, have you eaten? We are eating now, come and eat with us."
Major Chang checked the time on his wristband and said, "No need. I'm going back now. I'll let you know when I have the result."
Mu Ling could only say goodbye to him.
After watching Major Chang leave, the door of the ticket office next to him suddenly opened.
Xiang Bie walked out, glanced at the outside of the door, and said to Mu Ling, "He is testing you."
Mu Ling nodded, and then said thankfully: "Fortunately, I'm a naive person, I don't know anything."
Category: "..."
Mu Ling said this, then looked at Brother Xiang and said tactfully, "Brother Xiang, I know you have some friends and you're always well-informed, but this matter might be related to the rebels after all. Please don't bother your friends and put them in danger."
Xiang Bie looked at Mu Ling silently.
Mu Ling smiled and said, "Let's go back and eat."
Mu Ling walked in front and Xiang Bie walked behind. Along the way, Xiang Bie just looked at the girl's slender back.
He understood what she meant. She knew about what he had asked about the actors last time, so she called Chai Yunyue and reminded him that if he didn't want to be exposed, he should not contact the people from the past during this period.
Pursing his lips, Xiang Bie said nothing and just followed the girl quietly.
-
Perhaps because of the sudden news about the suspected mastiff, Mu Ling suddenly wanted to accompany Ling Ren that night.
So late at night, after Mu Ling had finished her shower, she suddenly went to the animal dormitory again, pried open Qingjiao's mouth, pulled out the sleeping Lingren from its mouth, and held her in her arms.
Qingjiao opened his eyes hazily, yawned, and looked at Mu Ling above his head.
Mu Ling rubbed the gray wolf's head, then looked at the white fox in her arms.
The actor had also woken up. With a flower ornament on the forehead, the pretty white fox looked like a little bodhisattva, staring at Mu Ling in confusion.
Mu Ling used her sleeve to wipe the saliva off the actor's ear. Because the actor's head was too big, Qing Jiao could only hold its left ear when sucking it.
After wiping, Mu Ling looked around furtively, and seeing that the other war beasts were not awakened, she quietly stole the actor away.
After the actor disappeared, Qingjiao turned over and looked at the little wolf who was a million miles away from him. The little wolf was sleeping with his uncle Pimi tonight and was lying softly on the back of the black-headed lion.
With an empty mouth, Qingjiao chewed his paws and then went back to sleep.
Mu Ling carried Lingren all the way back to her dormitory, then tucked him into the quilt, hugged him, and fell asleep in the warmth.
Lingren didn't know that Mu Ling was accompanying him specially. He thought that he was accompanying Mu Ling, so he made a friendly "ga" sound, and the white fox tucked his head into Mu Ling's neck and fell asleep again.
-
At the same time, in an underground bar somewhere on the capital planet.
After hanging up the phone, the gloomy man sitting on the sofa suddenly put out his cigarette butt and suddenly kicked a black cloth cage not far from him.
There was a loud "clang", but there was no sound in the cage.
"Knock knock." At this time, someone knocked on the door outside.
The man grabbed the pistol on the coffee table, pointed it at the door and said, "Come in."
The door opens.
The loud sound of music outside suddenly came in.
At the door, a man dressed in strange clothes and dressed extremely flamboyantly, holding a tray in his hand, was standing there. When he saw the man holding a gun inside, his face turned pale and he didn't dare to move: "Brother..."
The gloomy man put down his gun, grabbed the bottle of wine on the table in a frustrated manner, tilted his head back and gulped down a mouthful.
The showy man walked in at this time, closed the door, and placed a tray on the coffee table. On the tray were two bottles of fine wine and a bowl of water. He opened the bottles, glanced at the cage covered with black cloth, and asked, "Brother, do you want to give the war beast a drink of water?"
"Drink your ass! You're not going to pee after drinking! Are you going to clean it up?"
The showy man immediately shrank his neck and asked cautiously, "What did Sister Feng say? When will someone come to pick you up?"
The man got angry when he talked about this. "They said I was exposed at the starship center. For my safety, they arranged a private ship to evacuate me tonight! Damn it, I finally made it to the capital planet, but before I even got comfortable, I have to leave again! Going to those poor and desolate places again! I joined the rebels for the good food and drink, but now I'm like a rat crossing the street every day!"
The show-off man complained in his heart that the rebels were just rats crossing the street, otherwise why would you want to welcome them with a line of soldiers?
But he still said, "What if we need to evacuate this war beast? The private ship also has patrols. When passing through the star field checkpoint, if the scan detects a war beast inside, it will sound the alarm, right?"
The man said coldly: "We have people at the checkpoint. We can cross the checkpoint in the middle of the night and operate it. We just need to hide this war beast."
"Hide well? How do you hide such a huge war beast?"
The man glanced at him and said, "Go find a suitcase."
The show-off man: “…”
The show-off choked. "You're going to stuff... a big mastiff like that... into the suitcase? Won't it suffocate?"
The man kicked the coffee table, shaking the wine bottles on the table to the ground. "Why are you so distressed? It's not like they're stuffing you in there. Just leave a zipper for it to breathe. It's not that easy to suffocate!"
The show-off man shrank his neck and said, "But brother, I don't think this is a good idea. Didn't you say that Luo En is one of ours after all? We took his war beast hostage to prevent him from doing things improperly. If he knew that you abused his war beast..."
"If you know, you know. What can he do? I'm telling you, something's happened on the God King Planet!"
"Something happened on the God King Planet?" The show-off man was shocked.
The man lit a cigarette and took a long drag. "Why else do you think I brought this dog to the Capital Planet for no reason? There's a big mess on God King Planet. Puya made a major mistake, causing the God King Planet stronghold to fall apart. Now the higher-ups suspect that Puya was schemed by that Luo En. They're afraid Luo En might be dishonest, so they asked me to transfer the dog to Sister Feng. I'm telling you, if that thing was really his doing, this dog will be fucking cooked tomorrow!"
The showy man looked at the black cloth cage again and said, "It won't be put into the pot, at most it will be used for experiments."
The man started to get annoyed again. He glared at the cage sinisterly, and suddenly kicked it hard again.
"Calm down, calm down." The showy man quickly tried to appease her, poured the fine wine into the glass, and handed it to her attentively: "Brother, did Sister Feng tell you what time the private ship will be?"
"Four in the morning." The man grabbed the wine and drank it in one gulp.
The showy man continued to pour him wine: "Actually, I don't think it's necessary to transfer the war beast. It was so hard to send it to the capital planet. You took such a big risk, brother. Why don't you let Sister Feng take it? That way it will be more convenient for you to transfer it."
"Who the hell doesn't know that?" the man said angrily. "That woman surnamed Feng doesn't want to take responsibility. Do you think that with so many strongholds, everyone is of one mind? Why am I telling you so much? A small fry like you doesn't know shit!"
The showy man chuckled and said, "I just feel sorry for you, brother. It's still early, how about I call two beauties to come with you... There's a room upstairs..."
The man turned to look at the show-off.
The show-off continued to smile flatteringly.
The man finished the wine in his hand again, then frowned: "Go quickly!"
"Hey, I'll go right away, right away!"
After a while, the show-off man made all the arrangements. Seeing the man being entangled by the two women, as soon as the door of the guest room was closed, the servile expression on the show-off man's face disappeared instantly. He walked downstairs quickly and returned to the private room. Then he lifted the black cloth outside the cage, turned on the light brain, and took many 360-degree photos of the mastiff inside. The dog was so thin that it was almost unrecognizable and had large areas of hair loss.
Then the show-off man immediately sent the photo while looking at the door.
After all were delivered, he sent another voice message: "Marshal, is this the one? He's moving tonight, but we don't know where he's going. He's taking a private ship and will leave at four in the morning. He said they have people at the star region checkpoint who can help him get through."
After sending one message, he added another: "If you want to take action, it's best to wait until he lands. Not many people know that he has moved tonight. If he is caught, it will be easy to suspect me..."
Two voice messages were sent, and a reply came back shortly after: "Well, I won't expose you."
Hearing that the voice on the other end was indeed Marshal Xiang's, the showy man took a breath, held back the moisture in his eyes, and asked again: "You are intervening in the rebel army's affairs again. Are you planning to come back? Don't worry, I will stay hidden. If there is any news, I will report it to you first, and then to the military. I will also try to infiltrate the core layer of the rebel capital star stronghold as soon as possible. Their capital star's manager is called Sister Feng. She is a very cautious person. I haven't met her yet. Usually I can only run errands for them. It was me who received this man when he came to the capital star last time, so I was able to say a few words to him. This person likes to brag. I coaxed him into submission last time. He told me a lot of internal gossip. I will sort it out and send it all to you later!"
The reply came quickly: "No, I don't plan to come back."
The show-off man was stunned and was about to ask why he was still concerned about the rebels.
Another message came from the other side: "My conversation with you must be kept secret. You cannot tell anyone, including Chai Yunyue."
We can't tell Chief Chai either? Didn't Chief Chai grow up following the Marshal and always be loyal to him?
Although the showy guy didn't know why, he immediately replied: "I understand!"
The other side said: "Erase the traces."
The showy man said: "Yes!"
After making sure that the marshal was no longer sending voice messages, the show-off immediately cleared all traces of communication on the computer, then took another look at the miserable mastiff in the cage, pulled down the black cloth, and left the box.
Because the man came suddenly with the war beast, the surveillance in the box had been turned off long ago. No one except him and the marshal would know what he did tonight.
-
Planet God King, Piccolo Zoo.
Xiang Bie looked at the several photos sent over there. The more he looked, the tighter his brows frowned. After a moment, he took out a photo of him showing his loyalty when he was serving in the past. It was indeed the same mastiff, but the difference was too great. The mastiff had been tortured to the point that it no longer looked like a normal dog.
Pursing his lips, he exited the photo album and played another communication.
-
The next day, three o'clock in the afternoon.
When Major Chang rushed to the Beek Zoo, he saw Mu Ling preparing nutritious meals for the Nine-Needle Pigs.
Xiang Bie was recording nutritional data nearby. When he saw Major Chang coming over, he glanced at him.
"Found it!" Major Chang said to Mu Ling straight to the point, "The mastiff you mentioned has been found!"
Mu Ling was startled at first, but then her eyes lit up instantly. She immediately looked at Major Chang excitedly: "Really? Did you find the loyalty? Is that the loyalty? How did you find it?"
Major Chang rushed over to tell Mu Ling in person after receiving the news, and he was still breathing hard.
Mu Ling was very perceptive. She quickly poured him some water and grabbed the notebook next to her to fan him.
Xiang Bie watched from the side with a cold attitude.
Major Chang took a sip of water and continued, "I was surprised too. I told my friend about this last night. My friend is stationed in the capital planet. I just asked him to find out if they had received any reports of suspicious people holding war beasts hostage, and asked him if he had found the suspicious person. As a result, he sent me a letter today, saying that a private ship was intercepted on Tianlun Star, and the private ship was full of smuggled goods. The police were originally just confiscating the contraband, but then a drunk man on the ship suddenly pulled out a gun and injured two policemen. After a gunfight, the man was shot dead on the spot. The police found a nearly dead mastiff stuffed in his luggage..."
"A local veterinarian examined it and said it was an adult mastiff with S-rank talent. A blood test revealed it was actually a war beast from our military system, named Xiaozhong! Xiaozhong has now been urgently rescued by the Tianlun Zoo on Tianlun Star!"
Mu Ling found it incredible: "What a coincidence, investigating smuggling can also find loyalty! It really is the law of nature!"
Major Chang took another sip of water and said, "Because the private ship passed through three planets on its way, one of which was the capital planet, so when it went through the process, it also reached the capital planet. My friend found out about it, and he immediately notified me."
Mu Ling grabbed Major Chang's hand and shook it wildly. "Thank you, thank you friends, thank you so much, and the police on Tianlun Star, you are truly great! You are all the light of the Federation!"
Major Chang was shaking all over until Mu Ling let go of his hand. He looked down at his hand and his ears turned red.
Major Chang coughed lightly and took a breath to cover it up. When he looked up again, he suddenly met the cold gaze of Mr. Xiang opposite him.
Major Chang: “……?”
"Hello, Manager Chen? I'm Mu Ling. I'd like to ask if you know the person in charge of Tianlun Zoo on Tianlun Star. No? Okay, okay, it's okay. I'll ask someone else."
Major Chang was still wondering what Mr. Xiang was doing. On the other hand, Mu Ling had already started contacting people everywhere. When she couldn't get through to one, she contacted another. Finally, she made four or five calls in a row until she called Director Tian of the Changshan Zoo in Siwanxing. She finally found someone who knew the person in charge of the Tianlun Zoo.
Tianlun Star is in the Northern Star Region, and the zoo managers in the Eastern Star Region rarely know their counterparts who are so far away.
However, Director Tian has been in the industry for decades, and Changshan Zoo is a very representative old zoo in the East Star Region, so Director Tian actually knows Director Lin of Tianlun Zoo.
Mu Ling immediately started to sweet-talk Director Tian and called him Grandpa Tian, coaxing him into a daze. Finally, after finding out the situation, Director Tian agreed to help her connect with Tianlun Zoo.
Major Chang saw that he had nothing to do here, so he said he was leaving.
How could Mu Ling let him go? She quickly said, "No, no, I have to treat you to a meal no matter what. Major Chang, you've really helped me a lot. Let's go to the restaurant. Our chef Denton's cooking skills are absolutely amazing, especially his desserts. They're so delicious that they're almost tongue-deep."
Mu Ling said this and then diligently led Major Chang to the restaurant.
Xiang Bie suddenly said, "Director, nutritious meal."
Mu Ling was stunned, then she remembered that she was preparing a nutritious meal just now.
She was embarrassed: "This..."
Major Chang glanced at Mr. Xiang again, then said to Mu Ling very gently, "You go ahead and get busy. We'll have dinner next time."
Mu Ling felt embarrassed and asked hurriedly, "When are you free next time?"
Major Chang said helplessly, "We have to protect the old professors recently. We have to wait until the protection mission is over before we can be free..."
Mu Ling could only say, "Well, I'll owe it to you first. I'll have another chance next time!"
Major Chang smiled and nodded, saying, "Then I'll be leaving first."
Mu Ling waved to him enthusiastically.
After watching Major Chang leave, Mu Ling turned around and saw Brother Xiang looking at her with a sullen face.
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling ran back a little embarrassedly and explained, "He helped me so much, it would be unreasonable not to treat him to a meal."
Xiang Bie said calmly: "He was just delivering a message."
Mu Lingling sighed, "Brother Xiang, you can't say that. They are running around like this for us, we should be grateful."
Category: "..."
Xiang Bie didn't want to say anything, lowered his head and continued to record the nutritional ratio.
"But..." Mu Ling then said slowly, "We can find war beasts while investigating smuggling. God really has our backs on loyalty, right, Brother Xiang?"
Category: "..."
Xiang Bie looked at Mu Ling's smiling face and couldn't tell for a moment whether she was implying something...
He always felt that there was something hidden in every word she said...
Was he seen through by her again? Was he already transparent in her eyes?
…
Swallow now vomits everything he eats. After coming to Piccolo for one day, he ate two meals and vomited both times. Uncle Li and Swallow's breeder were so worried that they were pulling their hair out. After Mu Ling made the meal list, she showed it to the two old professors and asked for their opinions.
The two old professors took a look and discovered that Mu Ling's recipe wasn't a ready-made animal feed, but a homemade medicinal meal. They were a little surprised: "Making fresh medicinal meals is not easy. You can't have the same meal every time. You have to pay attention to nutritional balance and make sure it doesn't conflict with the medication the war beast is taking. It's really a hassle."
Mu Ling smiled and said, "I know. I studied medicinal research and am quite familiar with the raw materials of some food supplements. I can make different medicinal meals every time. Uncle Li is also a good cook. I know he is a good cook, so I specially chose him to be my one-on-one teacher for Devouring."
The two old professors were immediately more satisfied with Mu Ling's expression and nodded repeatedly: "Director Mu, you really put your heart into it."
Mu Ling was praised, scratched her head, and asked again: "Is this okay?"
The old professor returned the meal plan to her and said, "No problem, you can feed her according to this. Let's try feeding her one meal first."
Mu Ling handed the meal list to Uncle Li. Mu Ling's meal list for today was based on the ingredients available in the kitchen and the raw materials available at the veterinary station, so she could eat the medicinal food tonight.
After finishing the medicinal food, another hour passed and Director Tian called.
Unfortunately, Director Lin of Tianlun Zoo could not agree to Mu Ling's video request, because it involved the rescue of active war beasts, and the existence of Zhongzhong was related to the traitors of Xuan Gu Star and the rebel army. It was a serious matter. It was now being guarded by the military of Tianlun Star. Director Lin was just the director of a zoo and happened to take on this rescue mission, but she did not have the authority to disclose Zhongzhong's current situation to others.
Mu Ling understood after hearing this. After thanking Director Tian, she hung up the phone in disappointment.
Loyalty is different from Dabao and Xiaobao. Loyalty is directly related to the rebels. Although Dabao and Xiaobao were also rescued from the rebels, Dabao and Xiaobao themselves are not important. What is important is the military academy veterinarian who faked the death of Dabao and Xiaobao, and the industrial chain behind it. So when Mu Ling filmed the video of Dabao and Xiaobao, the military had no objection, because Dabao and Xiaobao had no direct case-solving value, and they themselves did not need to be kept confidential.
But loyalty is not like that. The military wants to use loyalty to find the traitor, so loyalty has direct value in solving the case, so its situation needs to be kept confidential for the time being.
Mu Ling had no way to force it, she could only wait patiently, waiting for Xiaozhong to get better, waiting for the day when Xiaozhong could be visited.
Mu Ling originally thought that she would have to wait a long time for this day, at least a few months, but what she didn't expect was that she received a call from Director Wang of the Forestry Bureau that night.
Director Wang's voice was urgent. "Director Mu, we've received a military order from Tianlun Star. You need to go there immediately. It's not just you. Don't you have thirty special experts there? They should have received the notice as well. Twenty of them also need to rush to Tianlun Star immediately. Go with them. A military starship is coming to pick you up."
Mu Ling was stunned when she heard this and asked blankly, "Me? Me? Why should I go there?"
Director Wang said, "I don't know either. They have a war beast that's been unconscious for over ten hours and needs urgent treatment. They probably asked you to come along because they think you're very skilled at saving war beasts and have a lot of successful experience. Don't be afraid. It's none of your business if they can't save it. There are so many experts here. I've also told them that since you're not a professional veterinarian, we can't guarantee anything!"
Mu Ling listened quietly to Director Wang's defense of her. After a moment, her eyes brightened and she said directly, "Okay, I'll go, but I want to bring a war beast with me!"
