Chapter 96
Cuicui is a good child in every way, except that she opens her mouth and causes corpses to fall all over the place.
Mu Ling was very worried that if Brother Xiang didn't escape now, he might not be able to escape later!
Xiang Bie looked at Mu Ling helplessly: "It's okay, I'll avoid it?"
Mu Ling frowned. "You can't avoid it once, but you can. We don't know how long we'll be staying on Nurha Star. There's always a time when we can't avoid it."
"I can avoid it, but I won't go out..."
"What if it smells your scent on us... Oh, wait, yes, scent... It recognizes people by scent."
Mu Ling rolled her eyes twice, then she looked up and down at Brother Xiang, and suddenly smiled slyly.
Category: "..."
Suddenly I had a bad feeling.
The only newcomer who came to the monitoring room throughout the afternoon was Principal Guo.
By evening, everyone went out again to various search areas to meet their own war beasts.
Before boarding the warship, Mu Ling went to the bathroom. When she came out, she called Xiang Bie to the back stairs.
The others had already gone downstairs. Seeing Mu Ling and Xiang Bie acting suspiciously, they were all curious: "What's wrong with them?"
Mr. Kenny smiled and said, "In the Mood for Love, a talented man and a beautiful woman."
Principal Guo was stunned: "You mean they..."
Others were also surprised: "Ah, Director Mu and Mr. Xiang, so they have that kind of relationship?"
"That seems to be true. I see that Principal Mu's water cup is empty, and it's always Mr. Xiang who goes to refill it for her."
"Yes, yes, it was Mr. Xiang who helped Principal Mu clean up after lunch."
"I thought this was the subordinate's self-awareness, but it turns out to be the boyfriend's self-awareness!"
Everyone looked at each other, then started to chuckle, "So why did Director Mu call Mr. Xiang away alone?"
"Hehehe, young people are still sweet."
Everyone immediately looked as if they had been hit by a bump. After they boarded the warship, they saw Director Mu and Mr. Xiang coming out after a while.
The two men came over one after the other, Director Mu walked in front and Mr. Xiang walked behind. But for some reason, Mr. Xiang had a very sour expression and walked very slowly, as if he didn't want to get on the ship.
When Director Mu came up, the white crane's owner asked, "Director Mu, what happened to Mr. Xiang? Did you... have a fight?"
Mu Ling looked a little embarrassed: "No, no."
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Mr. Xiang's face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, and his expression was too guilty. What happened?
Everyone wanted to eat melons, so they planned to wait for Mr. Xiang to come up and ask him.
After a while, Mr. Xiang finally came over.
As the hatch closed.
Everyone: “…”
Everyone: “???”
Everyone suddenly frowned, then stepped back one after another, looking at Mr. Xiang, whose face was ashen, with strange expressions: "Mr. Xiang, what's wrong with you..."
"Oh, what a strong smell of jasmine incense..."
"Isn't this the same kind of aromatherapy we use in the restroom on our floor..."
"No, it's too strong, A-choo!"
Category: "..."
Xiang Bie had a gloomy face and quietly moved away from the crowd and went to the corner.
Mu Ling's dry smile was almost gone. She explained awkwardly, "Just now, Brother Xiang knocked over the cleaning lady's tool cart, so, so..."
Everyone rubbed their noses and could only smile awkwardly but politely: "Is that so."
"Be more careful next time."
"I'm glad you're not hurt."
Although they said this, they were determined not to move even a step towards Xiang Bie.
Soon, the warship took off. After a while, Mu Ling couldn't help herself and moved to Brother Xiang's side, muttering, "It smells a bit good, but I guarantee Cuicui can't smell you! It definitely wouldn't dare to get close to you!"
Xiang Bie glanced at Mu Ling coldly: "I don't dare to get close to myself."
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling coaxed him: "Hold on, this is the only way to defeat Cuicui! Actually, I also want to find some other perfumes, but this has become a war zone, I really can't find any, so you just have to make do with this..."
Xiang Bie suddenly turned around and looked at Mu Ling: "You don't seem to have any reaction?"
"Yes." Mu Ling said as a matter of course: "I don't breathe through my nose."
Category: "..."
Do I still want to praise you as a genius?
About ten minutes later, they arrived at the first safe zone and saw the triumphant Lightning, Lingren, Qingjiao, Lieyan, and Baihe Tianxian who were also there.
Lightning and the others were very happy to see Mu Ling, and they all gathered around her, but when Xiang Bie approached, the war beasts, who were already very familiar with Brother Xiang, suddenly began to growl in his direction.
Xiang Bie's face darkened as he retreated more than ten meters away.
Then they went to the second safe zone.
Mu Ling saw Mo Fa, Qilin, Feifan, the black-tailed wolf Hei Feng and the shocked deer Pao Pao here.
But this time Xiang Bie didn't even approach to cause trouble.
The third safe zone is Moonlight, Pimi, Tayun, and Piano. When Mu Ling arrived, she saw Lieutenant General Milo was already there. He also calculated the time to come and visit.
Moonlight didn't catch any fish tonight, and he was a little sad. However, no matter how sad he was, he remembered to sit between his owner and his sister, for fear that they would quarrel again.
When we got here, Cuicui hadn't shown up yet.
Until they went to the fourth safe zone.
This time, as soon as the ship door opened, Cuicui's signature soft voice came from outside: "Hello, have you eaten?"
Everyone looked over there and saw Cuicui standing on the railing. She was asking the soldier who was guarding the safe zone nearby.
The soldier stood in a standard posture with a serious expression, trying his best to ignore the parrot!
Hold on! He's on guard! He can't chat with the warbirds!
Seeing that the soldier was ignoring it, the blue parrot tilted its head again, and then the next second, it suddenly looked towards the warship, then flapped its wings and flew over.
Principal Guo held out his hand with a smile and let Cuicui perch on the back of his hand. After Cuicui stood firmly, the little parrot asked, "Have you eaten?"
Principal Guo said, "No, no, let's see if Cuicui has eaten."
"Hello, I've eaten." Cui Cui replied.
Mr. Kenny then asked, "Cui Cui, do you recognize your uncle?"
Cui Cui turned her little head and said, "Hello, Mr. Kenny."
"I really recognize it, I really recognize it!" Old Mr. Kenny was very surprised.
Principal Guo was particularly proud and pointed at Mu Ling, who was dodging behind him. "Here, Cuicui, do you remember who this is?"
The little parrot replied crisply: "Hello, Mu Ling."
Mu Ling smiled awkwardly and said quickly, "Hello, hello, Cuicui, long time no see."
Cuicui tilted her head and asked, "Have you eaten?"
Mu Ling said: "No, no, I'll eat later."
After saying that, Mu Ling carefully observed the parrot's expression.
Seeing the parrot start to look around at other people again, as if trying to determine if there were any other acquaintances here, Mu Ling's heart instantly rose to her throat.
Until after a while, the parrot's gaze suddenly shot towards Brother Xiang with incredible accuracy.
Mu Ling's face changed drastically with fright!
No way, you can even recognize this? Your sense of smell is too outrageous!
"Hello." The parrot's thin voice sounded.
Everyone immediately looked at Xiang Bie, even Principal Guo was very surprised. Hey, does Cuicui still know Mr. Xiang?
"Please stay away from me." The parrot said gently but politely to Xiang Bie, who was like a biological weapon.
Category: "..."
Others: “…”
Principal Guo suddenly felt embarrassed. He laughed dryly and said, "Hahaha, it's nonsense, nonsense..."
After saying that, he quickly walked away with the parrot.
Everyone else followed Principal Guo, but Mu Ling remained by Brother Xiang's side. She excitedly said, "It! Didn't! Recognize! You!"
Mu Ling was very proud. She put her hands on her hips with an expression that said, "Just look at it, I said it's okay!"
Category: "..."
Xiang Bie sighed and looked at Mu Ling, saying darkly, "Although the damage is not that great, the insult has become extremely strong."
Mu Ling: “…”
-
Three o'clock in the morning.
Mu Ling finally couldn't hold on any longer. After dozing off three times with her head tilted to one side, she shook her head, stood up, and said, "I can't do it anymore. I have to go back and take a nap."
After dinner in the evening, at 11 o'clock, the war beasts started their night shift again.
Mu Ling stayed with them for a few more hours, but now, Mu Ling really couldn't hold on any longer.
There were no more people in the monitoring room now, so Xiang Bie said to her, "Go to sleep, I'm here."
Mu Ling nodded vaguely, said hello to the owner of the frightened deer who was still there, and then left.
Jinglu's owner was a policeman, used to working night shifts, so he was fine. Seeing that Xiang Bie was also quite energetic, he started chatting: "Your director Mu is indeed very responsible. He has held on until now."
Xiang Bie was stunned and looked at the other person.
The owner of the frightened deer was called Xiao He. Seeing Xiang Bie looking at him, he was puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiang Bie retracted his gaze and said lightly: "When the war beast was not in good health, she often kept watch at night."
Xiao He nodded: "So the effort paid off. She is good to the war beast, and the war beast likes her too."
Xiang Bie just said "hmm" and said nothing more.
Xiao He wanted to continue the conversation, but after glancing at the surveillance camera, he suddenly froze.
I saw that on one of the screens, something seemed wrong with his "running".
Xiao He sat up straight and stared at Ben.
The running was going fine, but suddenly, it started to go in circles.
It is now in a park with trees everywhere. It stands in the middle of a three-way intersection in the park. It walks to the left and then walks back. It walks to the right and then walks back. Its pair of dark deer eyes seem to be very confused.
Benpao's temporary partner also asked at this time: "Benpao, what's wrong with you?"
The running continued in circles, as if unable to make out anything.
Xiao He was a little worried and looked very nervous.
Xiang Bie looked over there and frowned.
After a while, the temporary partner tried to lead the frightened deer away, but the frightened deer refused to go. It struggled stubbornly and even kicked people.
The soldiers from other teams nearby were a little anxious. They didn't dare to hurt Jinglu, so they could only use the walkie-talkie to contact the main control center and explain the situation.
At the same time, Xiang Bie suddenly looked at another surveillance screen.
Just next to the street that Jinglu was in charge of, Mo Fa, who was walking to the back door of the park, suddenly stopped.
Magic looked at the tightly closed iron gate of the park and walked straight over there.
"Hey, Magic?" Magic's temporary partner saw that Magic had taken the wrong path and gave it the correct instructions: "Magic, turn right."
The magic did not turn right, it still approached the park, and then after being separated by the iron gate, it kicked with its elephant legs, and instantly the iron gate made a clanging sound.
"Magic! No!" The temporary partner tried to stop it.
But the magic was too big for him to stop, and it also began to disobey his commands.
"Bang!" The iron gate was kicked out of shape and finally opened. After it opened, magic went inside.
The magic team members were all confused: "But this is not our search area."
The temporary partner said, "The magic insists on going that way. There must be something in there. Contact the team in this area."
As they caught up with Magic, they used the intercom to contact the next team. After talking with each other, they found that they were all in the park, so they decided to meet up and talk.
The sudden behavior of the two war beasts not only worried the two teams of soldiers, but also Xiang Bie and Xiao He in the monitoring room.
However, one of them is a former soldier and the other is a current police officer. They are both stable people and are still calm at the moment.
At the same time, in another safe zone, inside the presidential room.
The middle-aged man with a gentle face has been sitting on the sofa, looking at the real-time search map of the entire planet in front of him. He is waiting, and has been waiting for several hours.
The members of the Security Department who were responsible for protecting him had already changed shifts several times. Chai Yunyue glanced at the clock on the wall and asked in a low voice, "Sir, aren't you going to rest yet?"
The man said nothing, but continued to look at the densely packed red dots on the map. Each red dot represented a search team. Currently, there were more than 5,000 search teams on Nurha Star.
More than 3,000 of them are concentrated in the severely affected areas, and the rest are in medium and low-affected areas.
The entire Nurha planet covers a very vast area of more than 600 million square kilometers, half of which is water resources. But even so, the land area is still very large.
It is absolutely impossible for 5,000 teams to search such a large planet within three days, so they can only alert the enemy.
Milo came today, so logically, the other party should take action tonight.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at the little red dots more intently, not daring to relax even a little.
-
"When do we start?" In a spacious hotel room in a city in the disaster zone of Nurha Star, a young lieutenant colonel in federal army uniform was looking at the sloppy man opposite him with an impatient look on his face.
The man wore a loose bathrobe, holding a scantily clad woman in his arms. He glanced at the lieutenant colonel and chuckled, "I never thought there would be a time when you federal soldiers would urge us rebels to do bad things. Luna, it's quite interesting, isn't it?"
The woman called Luna held a glass of red wine in her hand. She gently shook the glass with her fingertips and said with a smile, "Don't make things difficult for me. We will be family in the future."
The man suddenly grabbed Luna's neck, turned her face away, and asked, "Are you heartbroken?"
Luna opened the man's hand and chuckled, "Fuck you."
The way these two flirted was disgusting. The lieutenant colonel suppressed his impatience and said through gritted teeth, "I don't care what your methods are, but tonight is the best opportunity. The longer we delay, the smaller the chance of success. He's terrified right now. Even his former teacher, Old Milo, has been transferred here. If we don't act now and delay his important task, not only you two, but even your leader might not be able to handle it."
The two rebels glanced at him, and Luna pushed the man next to her.
The man finally stopped being sarcastic, turned on his computer and sent a message.
The lieutenant colonel frowned. "The entire Nurha planet's network is under martial law. Only the military network is accessible. How can you send it?"
"You have your military network, and we naturally have our underground network." Luna said with a smile, and then asked the man beside her: "Okay?"
"Alright," the man said, looking at the lieutenant colonel. "Inform your people to be careful. The weather in the three low- and medium-level disaster areas near the safe zone will change tonight."
The lieutenant colonel frowned: "Which three medium and low disaster areas?"
Luna said, "We'll know in a moment. Just tell your people not to come any closer."
The lieutenant colonel glanced at the two of them again, then turned and left the hotel room.
-
Five minutes later, in the monitoring room.
Xiang Bie looked at the magic that merged with Jinglu and stopped at the same fork in the road.
But unlike the confused and frightened deer, the S-level war beast has a more sensitive sense of smell.
The magic found one of the directions, and its huge body stepped directly into the flower bed, then stomped its feet hard, shaking the ground.
After it stomped its foot, the frightened deer seemed to smell more scents. It immediately rushed forward and kicked around next to the magic, making a "Yo, Yo" sound from its mouth.
"Is there something here? A snake?"
All the soldiers were on high alert, and countless flashlights were shining into the bushes.
But after stomping for a long time, no creature came out of the flower bed...
-
"Crash!" In the monitoring room, Xiang Bie suddenly stood up from the sofa.
Xiao He next to him was startled and looked at him: "What's wrong with you?"
Xiang Bie's face was cold. He stared at the surveillance camera intently, and then said, "I'm going out for a while."
After saying that, he walked out quickly.
There was a soldier guarding outside the door at this time. Seeing that Xiang Bie was heading towards the bathroom, the soldier no longer paid attention to him.
Xiang Bie did go to the bathroom, but he climbed out of the bathroom window and jumped directly to the first floor.
He couldn't go out the front door, and non-military personnel had to be escorted by soldiers to enter or exit.
"Hualala." In the women's restroom next door, Mu Ling finished washing her face and brushing her teeth, and walked out holding the toiletries bag issued by the military.
She tilted her head to look towards the men's restroom. Did she seem to hear some noise in there just now?
But it was none of her business, so she just walked forward without caring.
When she passed by the monitoring room, she had no intention of going in, but the door of the monitoring room suddenly opened.
Mu Ling was startled, but saw Xiao He inside with a pale face and a terrified expression. Mu Ling quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao He swallowed hard and said to the soldier at the door, "Something happened. Hundreds of mutant snakes and rats crawled out of the caves in Triangle Park! They were bitten while running!"
-
"Notice, notice, a large number of mutant snakes and rats have been spotted in the 988 safety zone in the middle disaster area, coordinates TN77214. Nearby teams are requested to provide support immediately. Repeat, middle disaster area..."
"Coordinates TN77214 need an ambulance. I repeat, coordinates TN77214 need an ambulance..."
"TN77214, both teams, immediately evacuate to the park's perimeter! Repeat..."
Three thirty in the morning.
The entire 988 search area is in chaos.
Mu Ling and Xiao He stared at the two surveillance windows in front of them. At the same time, they could hear the sound of soldiers hurriedly gathering and running in the corridor.
-
"TN77214 coordinates?"
In the president's office, the middle-aged man stood up and immediately gave the order: "129 teams in the three hardest-hit areas 634, 721, and 802, immediately retreat inwards to the four medium- and low-severe areas 912, 989, 934, and 922. Don't ask why, just do as I say. Have them be vigilant at all times, bring poison gas bombs, wear gas masks, and be prepared. The situation in area 988 may recur tonight. If anything is discovered, immediately encircle and eliminate it with all your strength!"
When General Nurhaxing received the call from the president, he gritted his teeth and without caring about anything else, he quickly ordered his subordinates to do as he was told.
As a result of this change, not only the 988 search area, but the entire land east of Nurha Star was in chaos tonight.
Meanwhile, in Triangle Park.
Magic had lost count of how many snakes, insects, rats and ants it had stepped on to death. It felt very uncomfortable because many reptiles were crawling on its legs.
It was wearing a full set of armor, and although it hadn't been bitten yet, if more came up, they would definitely squeeze in through the gaps.
The red elephant stomped the ground restlessly, shaking its body, its long nose raised, and a roaring sound came from its mouth.
"Magic! Evacuate! Go! Magic!" Magic's temporary partner shot the snakes and rats on the ground while pushing the huge body of the red mammoth to go out.
The bulky elephant was walking slowly in an environment full of snakes and rats. In fact, it didn't want to walk. It wanted someone to help it get rid of the reptiles on its body so that it could walk faster.
If it was Commander Duan who was here, he would have cooperated with magic to gain a foothold here long ago, but the one here is not Commander Duan. They are temporary partners, and they are just temporary after all. They don't understand each other's hearts.
The order to evacuate was given many times, and the giant elephant could only try its best to walk out, but at this time, some insects crawled into its thighs.
"Ang!" The giant elephant roared and turned around angrily.
"Snap!" Suddenly, the armor piece was lifted up and the reptile was waved away.
-
At the same time, in the monitoring room.
Mu Ling clearly saw the man who broke into the battle circle through the perspective of the owner of the frightened deer. Her pupils shrank and her expression changed suddenly.
"Isn't that... Mr. Xiang? Why did he go to the scene?" Xiao He was also shocked when he saw Xiang Bie in the surveillance video.
The two team members at the scene were also shocked.
They knew Xiang Bie, a zookeeper at the Piccolo Zoo who came with Director Mu. In the evening, they had seen him come to the safe zone to see the war beasts. He was dressed very flashily and sprayed all over with perfume, so fragrant that it choked their noses even from three meters away.
"Why are you here?" someone shouted. This is the front-line war zone and ordinary people can't come here!
Xiang Bie didn't say anything. He suddenly stepped forward and pulled out the pistol from the waist of his temporary magic partner.
"Hey!" The other party immediately wanted to take back his gun.
But Xiang Bie had already raised his hand, used the force to grab the magic armor, and with one foot, he stood on the magic's back.
The man was tall and slender, and when he looked down at others, he had an air of arrogance and condescension.
The giant elephant's broad back was very stable. Xiang Bie lowered his head and fired his pistol with a "bang", shooting away a giant rat that was about to climb up.
After the giant rat fell, he aimed again...
"Bang!" This time it was aimed at the ground, and instantly, fire suddenly ignited below!
Yes, it was fire. Xiang Bie ignited the kerosene with a shot!
The raging fire exploded along an oil road that appeared at some unknown time.
Wherever the flames reached, snakes and rats on the ground scurried around and fled.
But because they were running too recklessly and there were too many of them, their bodies were soon ignited. In the process of crowding and trampling, they passed the sparks to other companions, and other companions passed the sparks to the dead leaves and branches on the ground.
“Boom!”
The fire instantly became more intense, and Xiang Bie shouted in a deep voice: "Let's go!"
This is said to the small group of soldiers.
The team members immediately retreated, and as they retreated, they continued to shoot snakes and rats on the ground.
The sound of gunfire mixed with the squeaking and hissing of rats and snakes, instantly blending into a chaotic elegy.
Magic is not afraid of strange beasts, but it is afraid of fire. The fire behind it is getting bigger and bigger, and it is scared and runs faster and faster!
Xiang Bie was still standing on the elephant's back, his eyes fixed on the raging fire behind him, watching the hundreds of snakes and rats gradually turning into charcoal in the flames...
"Bang!" The man lowered his head, and wherever he passed, he shot the fleeing snakes and rats one by one, each shot hitting their heads.
The soldiers who had been evacuating looked at Xiang Bie above them, and then looked at the strange beast on the ground.
Wow, some strange rats were running away in the bushes, but he was able to kill them with one shot. What kind of devilish accuracy is this?
The pistol soon ran out of bullets.
Xiang Bie looked at the sea of fire in the distance again, and then he raised his head and looked at the sky.
In the sky, the falcon was flying towards this side, which meant that support from other teams was on the way.
Xiang Bie pursed his lips, the boiling fire made his stern face appear bright and dark, and a hint of coldness flashed in his sharp black eyes.
The old man wondered if he would take action or not. If he didn't, he would lose his patience...
