Chapter 98
In the interrogation room next to the president's room.
The man who prides himself on being a romantic and dashing man has been beaten unconscious three times.
He was like a blood gourd, with blood oozing from his body.
"Haha ...
"Bang!" The man was still spouting nonsense when Chai Yunyue swung his military club again, hitting him in the stomach. He made him spit blood, then he viciously grabbed the man's hair and gritted his teeth, "I'm going to resort to lynching. What? You, a scum like you, want to talk to me about human rights?"
The man looked at Chai Yunyue in front of him with his dilated pupils. He sneered: "Then if you have the guts...beat me to death..."
"Bang!" Chai Yunyue smashed down with another military stick: "I'll kill you? It's fun to be half dead."
Lieutenant General Milo was getting tired of watching. It had been almost an hour, and he still hadn't managed to pry the man's mouth open.
Seeing that torture alone seemed to be ineffective, Lieutenant General Milo turned around and went back to the next room.
After knocking on the door of the President's room, Lieutenant General Milo walked in and said, "How about I take some people to investigate as well?"
There are currently two known locations for strange beasts: Triangle Park in area 988 and Qing'an Zoo in area 922. One is in front of the central safety zone, and the other is behind the central safety zone. The rebels' purpose is very clear. They want to turn the medium and low-disaster areas around the president into severely disaster-stricken areas, and then take advantage of the situation to launch a surprise attack and decapitate the president.
Since we can't expect to get anything out of the captured people, we can only use the stupid method and add more manpower to conduct a full investigation.
He's just sitting here feeling anxious, so why not go and help?
There were obvious dark circles under the president's eyes, but he seemed to be in good spirits. He smiled and gestured to the sofa on the right, asking the teacher to sit down first.
Lieutenant General Milo sat down irritably.
The president said, "Don't worry. If he doesn't say it, someone else will. Just wait."
Lieutenant General Milo looked at him with a confident look and was very puzzled: "You have someone else on your side?"
The president smiled and said, "Didn't Chai Yunyue say that one of the two people was caught and the other escaped?"
-
Outside the dark residential building, Luna was lying under a car in the open-air parking garage with a pistol in her hand and a grim expression on her face.
In front of her, the Federals' legs moved back and forth, making her feel apprehensive.
After a while, the federal army seemed to have gone far away. Luna finally breathed a sigh of relief and crawled out from under the car.
A flash of relief at escaping danger flashed through Luna's mind, and then she began to wonder why they were discovered.
Logically speaking, they hid very well and never left the hotel, so it was impossible for anyone to spot them. The only stranger they had seen was...
Luna's eyelids flickered...
That lieutenant colonel!
The federal army is indeed untrustworthy!
Luna gritted her teeth in anger and looked back at the federal army that was marching away. She didn't care about anything else and immediately disappeared into the darkness and walked in another direction.
They still have people on Nurha Star, otherwise Leon would not be able to arrange three alien beast points with just one communication.
He gave the order and someone carried it out.
Luna knew where to find the executors. She wanted to gather them together and then have an internal discussion on whether to save Leon or kill the lieutenant colonel!
-
At five o'clock in the morning, Mu Ling, who had been too sleepy, now felt energetic.
She looked at the surveillance wall in front of her, and as she looked, she realized that it was time for the war beasts to rest again.
After making sure that the war beasts had all reached the safe zone, Mu Ling's tense nerves finally relaxed.
Now there are only her and Brother Xiang here.
Mr. Xiao was watching over Ben Gao because he was worried about him, but since Ben Gao was already in the hospital, there was naturally no need for him to watch over him anymore.
Xiang Bie saw Mu Ling leaning against the sofa with a tired look on her face, and frowned and said, "Go back and rest?"
Mu Ling shook her head: "I'm afraid there will be more accidents later."
Xiang Bie glanced at the clock: "It should be gone."
Mu Ling was stunned and looked at him.
Xiang Bie said: "It's almost dawn."
He was dealing with the strange beast in the middle of the night, probably to take the opportunity to assassinate the president. Since it was an assassination, it would naturally be carried out at night and it would be unlikely to be delayed until daytime.
It is five o'clock now. The war beasts have all returned to the safe zone. By the time they rest until seven o'clock and set out again, it will be dawn. All conspiracies and tricks should have disappeared.
Mu Ling probably understood what Brother Xiang meant, but she still felt a little uneasy: "But, don't you think it's too simple?"
Xiang Bie looked at her.
Mu Ling said, "Whether it's Triangle Park or Qing'an Zoo, they're actually just releasing exotic beasts. A few thousand exotic beasts is a lot, but releasing them has turned the medium- and low-stricken areas into severely affected areas. And then, what's the point? If problems arise in these two areas, the military will naturally dispatch support from other areas. Wouldn't that make our defenses here even tighter?"
Xiang Bie paused and frowned.
To be honest, what Mu Ling said is a new idea.
They all knew that the president lived in the central security zone. If there were any problems in areas 988 and 922, their first reaction would be that the other party would go after the president.
But Mu Ling didn't know where the president lived. She looked at the problem from an unknown perspective, and it seemed that she had fewer preconceived notions like them.
Xiang Bie said to Mu Ling, "Go on."
Mu Ling licked her lips and continued, "I think, just what I think, isn't it a bit like a diversion?"
Xiang Bie paused in silence.
Mu Ling stared at the surveillance wall in front of her: "They're making such a big fuss about areas 988 and 922. Could their real purpose actually be somewhere else?"
Xiang Bie's expression began to change. After a while, he stood up and said, "I'm going out for a while."
He raised his foot to walk, but found that he couldn't.
Xiang Bie was stunned and looked back, only to see Mu Ling pulling at the corner of his clothes.
Mu Ling puffed up her face stubbornly: "Where are you going now! Are you letting go?"
Category: "..."
Xiang Bie exhaled lightly and said patiently: "If you are not going anywhere, just tell the soldier outside the door what you think and ask him to report it."
Mu Ling looked at him seriously for a while, and finally let go of Xiang Ge's clothes, but she followed him out.
Brother Xiang has already made a hole, he can’t make another one!
Is she Nuwa? She is here repairing the sky every day!
Xiang Bie did communicate this with the soldier outside the door. The soldier was confused but still reported the matter.
The words soon reached the president's ears.
The man stood up suddenly and walked over to the search map.
Lieutenant General Milo saw his expression change after he answered the call and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
The president didn't answer. He just looked at the little red dot in front of him. After looking at it for a long time, he suddenly laughed.
"I'm really arrogant."
Lieutenant General Milo thought to himself, "You just found out?" But he still asked, "What happened?"
The president exhaled: "I think I know where the next exotic beast spot is."
From the beginning, the president believed that the rebels led him to Nurha Star in order to kill him, but on second thought, there were thousands of ways to kill him, so why choose the most troublesome one?
Apart from causing social panic, what direct connection does having so many strange beasts on Nurha Star have with killing him?
If it were such a high-profile act, it would be harder to kill him.
So, let’s get out of this thought and think about what if it’s not to kill him.
So what is the purpose of the rebels?
What is the most abundant thing on Nurha Star now?
There are the most war beasts.
The largest number of soldiers.
The president said coldly, "Immediately seal off the entire military building in Security Zone 472!"
The most severely affected area in the entire Nurha planet is the 472 disaster area. The strange beasts here are different from the strange dogs and cats in the periphery. They are all severely infected strange tigers and lions.
Because the search is the most difficult, almost all of the more than 300 war beasts in this area are S-level war beasts.
Just imagine, when everyone's attention is on the central safe zone, what should we do if thousands or even tens of thousands of highly infected small monsters suddenly emerge from under the military building in the 472 safe zone?
S-class war beasts live there, and their masters also live there. Those who can be the masters of S-class war beasts are all outstanding people and pillars of society.
If they all lost...
The president's expression became even uglier when he thought of this possibility. He looked at Lieutenant General Milo and said, "Go!"
Lieutenant General Milo immediately left the room.
Not until the door was closed did the president look at the search map over there again.
5:00-7:00 is the time for the search team to rest. Generally speaking, when the elite team is resting, the secondary team will take over.
Therefore, it is very likely that more than 300 S-level war beasts and their masters are all in the military building now!
"Ding, ding..." Suddenly, the president's light brain rang again.
He picked up the call and heard the voice of the field team: "Sir, we've caught them! The woman went to find her accomplices. We followed them all the way and have now apprehended all six. However, we also found several maps in their hideout. Some of the landmarks on the maps were crossed out, while others were circled. Triangle Park, Qing'an Zoo, and the 472 Military Building were all crossed out!"
Sure enough, there was a 472 Military Building! The president's face was stern, and he said in a deep voice: "Bring them all back!"
After hanging up the phone, the president was silent for a moment, then clicked on the monitor next to him.
On the surveillance camera screen, the young female head teacher was yawning while standing guard at the surveillance wall.
This idea was first proposed by the female headmaster...
He seemed to suddenly understand why Xiang Yuanren was different this time.
This is indeed an unexpected girl.
-
At 5:08 am, all Beast Tamers in the 472 Military Building were asked to assemble.
At 5:13 am, the first S-class war beast showed excitement.
At 5:14 am, a large number of highly contaminated mutant bats poured out of the basement.
At 5:26 a.m., support troops from the hardest-hit area of 477 arrived first.
At 5:50 a.m., the interior of the military building was completely evacuated, the entire building was sealed off, and filled with poison gas bombs.
At 6:29 am, one-third of the bats outside had been cleared.
At 7:41 am, the battle ended and all injured war animals and soldiers were immediately sent to the war zone hospital.
-
Early in the morning, Mu Ling was awakened by the sound of knocking on the door.
She suddenly opened her eyes and found that she had fallen asleep on the sofa.
Next to her sat the owner of the white crane, who had arrived at some point in time. Diagonally opposite her sat the single sofa, where Principal Guo had gotten up very early.
After hearing the knock on the door, Brother Xiang went to open it and brought in breakfast.
"Mr. Xiang said you stayed up all night last night. Do you want to go back and get some sleep?" The owner of the white crane looked at Mu Ling's tired face with a little worry.
Mu Ling quickly sat down and shook her head, saying, "It's okay, I'm fine."
At this time, Xiang Bie placed Mu Ling's breakfast in front of her and whispered, "Eat and go to sleep."
Mu Ling glanced at Brother Xiang, didn't answer, just took a bite of the bread.
They were halfway through their breakfast when other people came over. After everyone finished eating, Xiang Bie kept staring at Mu Ling. Mu Ling's scalp was numb from being stared at by Xiang Bie. In the end, she couldn't resist anymore, so she could only say goodbye to everyone and go back to the next room to sleep for a while.
Mu Ling originally thought that she might not be able to sleep for long, but she had hardly slept for two consecutive days and ended up sleeping until after 1:00 p.m.
When she saw the time, Mu Ling immediately became anxious. She hurried to the next room and saw that no one was there. She looked at the surveillance wall and found that it was time to visit the war beast.
Mu Ling saw in the surveillance video that Brother Xiang was feeding Qilin medicine. Qilin had an expression of unwillingness and bared his teeth at Brother Xiang.
That’s not right. Qilin is very well behaved. Even if Brother Xiang feeds it medicine, it won’t resist.
Just when Mu Ling was puzzled, she saw Feifan beside her suddenly raise his head high, and then...
“A-choo!”
It sneezed very loudly.
Mu Ling: “…”
Okay, I got it. When you go out, Brother Xiang has to wear a protective layer.
Sure enough, not long after, Brother Xiang met Cuicui again. As expected, Cuicui also felt Brother Xiang's gas attack today and kept her distance from the fragrant Brother Xiang!
Just as Mu Ling was watching the surveillance camera with great interest, the soldier guarding the door suddenly knocked and said, "Director Mu, Major General Tong would like you to go to the war animal hospital in the central security zone."
Mu Ling was stunned and stood up to open the door: "Me? Am I alone?"
The soldier said, "Yes, please prepare it as soon as possible."
Mu Ling didn't have anything to prepare. She went to bed in a hurry this morning and didn't even change her clothes.
In the end, Mu Ling boarded the warship directly. Then, more than ten minutes later, the warship landed and they stopped outside a hospital.
Judging from the exterior appearance of this hospital, it was originally a hospital for treating patients. However, now that it has become a war zone, it has been temporarily requisitioned as a hospital for war animals.
As Mu Ling walked in, she saw many war beasts being carried in.
Mu Ling asked the soldier leading her, "Why are there so many injured war beasts?"
The soldier said, "The hospital in the central area usually only sends seriously injured war beasts that cannot be treated in other war zones. This morning, a large-scale alien beast attack occurred in the 472nd war zone, so a large number of war beasts were sent here."
The alien beast wave attack incident...
Mu Ling frowned.
Soon, they walked into the hospital and made their way to the third floor.
The soldier exited the elevator and saluted the major general outside the nurses' desk. "Report, Director Mu is here!"
Major General Tong looked back and saw that it was indeed Mu Ling. He immediately let out a long sigh and said attentively, "Director Mu, you are finally here. Please help me take a look and see what happened to the war beast inside!"
Mu Ling was led by Major General Tong to a large ward, where she saw a weak black-backed lynx lying on the wide bed.
The lynx's fur is messy and it looks skinny. It seems to have been given anesthesia and looks listless. However, judging from its body movements, it is very resistant to this place and is barking hoarsely.
Mu Ling frowned as she watched: "It's stressed out. Where's its owner? Can the owner comfort it?"
Major General Tong shook his head. "This isn't a serving beast. It's one of the three retired beasts from the Qing'an Zoo. It started barking the whole night after it was brought in last night. It's almost lost its voice. The hospital gave it anesthesia, but it started barking again when it woke up."
Mu Ling thought of the scenes she saw on the surveillance camera last night. When the animals in Qing'an Zoo were moved last night, she heard the animals in the park screaming very miserably, and it seemed that every animal was screaming.
"Ha! Ha!" The black-backed lynx seemed to have lost some of the effect of the medicine, and it immediately panted louder, but the sound was too loud and the tone was broken, becoming very difficult and unpleasant to hear.
Mu Ling had no choice but to say, "Everyone, disperse. Don't crowd around it. Get out. Please give me a protective suit."
The nurse gave her a set of protective clothing. After Mu Ling put it on, she stood by the bed and tentatively tried to touch the lynx.
But as soon as the tip of the lynx's hair was touched, the lynx immediately screamed wildly, holding its tail between its legs, screaming in pain and fear, and its pupils were dilated.
Cats are very susceptible to stress. If the animal itself has a bad heart, it may be scared to death by a single stress.
Mu Ling immediately moved her hand away and took a few steps away from the lynx.
The lynx was still barking at Mu Ling, its eyes filled with despair. It struggled to stand up, but because its limbs were weak, it fell down again as soon as it stood up, then stood up again, and fell down again.
After doing this several times, it won't get up...
At this moment, Mu Ling saw that the bed sheet had become wet...
The black-backed lynx was scared to death...
Major General Tong and two nurses stood at the door, all looking a little anxious.
Mu Ling stepped back a little, and then she just observed the lynx. After a while, she asked Major General Tong, "Can you contact its keeper?"
Major General Tong shook his head: "We can't contact any staff at the Qing'an Zoo. We suspect they may have been killed by the rebels..."
Mu Ling fell silent, then asked, "Where's Lynx's information?"
"The information is there. It's at the end of the bed, hanging with the medical records."
Mu Ling picked up the document and looked through it, then looked at the medical records.
After a while, Mu Ling looked at the lynx again, which looked like a frightened bird, and said slowly, "I suspect it has been abused for a long time."
Major General Tong was stunned: "Abuse?"
The two nurses were also very surprised: "But we checked its body and it has no signs of injury."
Mu Ling said: "Mental abuse, intimidation, threats, and so on."
The two nurses looked at each other, and Major General Tong looked embarrassed.
Mu Ling said, "I know what you're trying to say. Retired war beasts have mental problems. They're naturally nervous and afraid of this and that. But when they scare themselves and when others scare them, their reactions are different. What do you veterinarians say?"
One of the nurses said, "Doctor Hu said that the data shows that it was originally very timid. After the nerve damage, it is likely that this timidity has been aggravated, which is why it has become so paranoid..."
Mu Ling shook her head: "I still insist that it has been abused."
Major General Tong pondered for a moment and said, "We'll check this later. Director Mu, its damage value has exceeded 90%. Is there any hope of saving it?"
Mu Ling pursed her lips and finally said conservatively: "I'll try it. Has it taken the medicine?"
The nurse said, "He was given an IV drip while he was unconscious. He broke free when he woke up."
Mu Ling said, "Give me the medicine, and prepare some food and drinks."
The nurse went to prepare, and after a while, she came over pushing a cart.
Mu Ling took the cart, then softened the freeze-dried meat with nutrient water, tore the meat into small pieces, and threw them all onto the bed.
The lynx didn't eat. Even though the food was right in front of it, it still curled up, breathed at Mu Ling, and refused to take a bite.
Mu Ling was not in a hurry. She just stayed with it quietly and kept throwing food to it.
People outside didn't know whether her actions would impress the lynx, so they could only watch.
At this moment, the major general's communication suddenly rang. He went outside to answer it. As soon as he answered it, his face turned dark.
The President has come to the War Veterinary Hospital!
Didn’t this ancestor say he was going to the Army Hospital to visit the wounded soldiers?
Major General Tong hurried downstairs to meet him. When he got downstairs, he saw the president wearing simple clothes, protected by people from the Security Department, and followed by two teams of soldiers.
Major General Tong immediately stepped forward: "Your Excellency."
The president had just come from the Army Hospital. He waved his hand and asked seriously, "How is 472's injured war beast?"
Major General Tong pointed to the elevator and said, "There aren't many seriously injured people. They're all on the second floor."
They made their way up to the second floor.
At this time, Xiang Bie and others also returned to the monitoring room.
There was no one in the monitoring room. Xiang Bie thought Mu Ling was still asleep, but Bai He's owner went back to the room to get something and came out saying, "Director Mu is no longer in bed."
Xiang Bie immediately looked at her and frowned: "Did you go to the bathroom?"
The owner of the white crane was about to sit down, but she saw Mr. Xiang staring at her with a burning gaze. She was so stiff from being stared at that she could only say, "Then I'll go to the bathroom and take a look."
She went to the bathroom and when she came back she shook her head: "Not here."
Xiang Bie went to ask the soldier at the door, and the soldier told him the truth. When Xiang Bie heard that Mu Ling had gone to the War Animal Hospital in the central area, his face turned bad: "I am her assistant. It is inconvenient for her when I am not here."
The soldier understood Xiang Bie's meaning. He was a little conflicted and could only report it.
At this time, Major General Tong on the other side was still accompanying the president on the inspection. After hearing the report from below, he casually said, "Then bring him along." Anyway, they were all together.
After another ten minutes, the war beast on the second floor was examined. Fortunately, although it was said to be seriously injured, it was not particularly serious. The doctor said that it could be recovered and would not suffer any nerve damage.
As long as there is no nerve damage, the president will be relieved.
But just now, on the way up, we had seen the war beasts on the first and second floors, so the president said, "Let's go upstairs and take a look."
They went up to the third floor again, and as soon as they got there, the president saw two young nurses standing at the door of a ward, looking inside.
The president walked over slowly.
The two young nurses were startled when they saw that the person coming was the president, and quickly stood aside.
The president stood at the door, frowning, looking at the girl sitting on the floor in the ward.
Isn’t this Director Mu?
The president tilted his head and asked the others, "Why is she sitting on the ground?"
One of the nurses said cautiously, "Director Mu said she wants to empathize with the lynx."
President:"?"
Another young nurse said excitedly, "It seems we can see Director Mu treating the war beast with our own eyes..."
Many people have heard about the magical powers of Director Mu, but have never seen it with their own eyes. Could it be that they will be enlightened today?
The president was now interested. He also wanted to know what this young war beast expert was like.
He stood there and watched.
At this moment, in the ward, Mu Ling keenly noticed that after a long period of tension, the lynx seemed to finally relax a little.
She was now sitting on the ground beside the lynx's bed. In this way, she was making the lynx feel that it was equal to her, and even because she looked shorter sitting on the ground, she was weaker than it.
The effect was good. This visual distinction made the lynx realize that Mu Ling was submitting to it, and it was this submission that finally made it relax.
Mu Ling felt the time was almost right, so she bent over and walked to the door, then pushed the person at the door out and asked the nurse, "Do you have a stick?"
The nurse thought for a moment and said, "There's a broom..."
"That's fine." Mu Ling said, "Go get a broom and hit me."
Nurse:"……"
Everyone: “???”
Hit...hit you?
This is the first time I hear such a request!
Mu Ling explained, "They didn't really hit me. They just used sticks to scare me, pretending to hit me. Then I got really scared. I told them I suspected the lynx had been abused. If I wanted to become friends with it, I had to go through what it had gone through. So, just hit it and see how it reacted."
The president looked at Mu Ling gravely from the side and asked, "Is this your method... of treating war beasts?"
So weird?
Mu Ling didn't even look at who this person was, and said casually: "The situation of each war beast is different. Different methods are used for different situations. I have always been like this, making decisions based on the situation."
"According to the situation..." The president paused for a moment and said, "Go get a broom."
The nurse rushed to get it.
After the broom was brought over, the nurse didn't dare to actually hit Mu Ling, nor could she pretend to hit her. She handed the broom to another nurse, who was startled and handed it to Major General Tong. Major General Tong took it with an embarrassed look on his face and simply handed it to Chai Yunyue...
Chai Yunyue: “…”
Chai Yunyue didn't know what this had to do with him. He had already been criticized because of this Principal Mu, and now he wanted to hit her? Who knows how others would spread rumors about him later!
He won't do it!
He wanted to give the broom to his subordinates, but they immediately turned their heads away and refused to take it.
Chai Yunyue: “…”
The president smiled at this time. He took the broom from Chai Yunyue's hand nonchalantly and said to Mu Ling, "If your method is really useful, then does it count as me helping as well?"
Mu Ling was already getting a little impatient watching them play like a game of pass the parcel. But now, this middle-aged man looked familiar, but she couldn't recall who said that. So she just said, "Of course it counts!"
The president said, "Then I'll do it."
Mu Ling brought people into the ward.
As soon as the lynx saw humans coming in again, it immediately arched its back and roared: "Ha!"
Mu Ling squatted on the ground, holding her head with both hands, and said, "Fight!"
The president gripped the broom backward, squeezed it in his palm, and then raised his hand, about to swing it down...
"What do you want to do?" A cold and eerie male voice suddenly came from behind him, and the president instantly felt as if half of his body was frozen.
He turned his head back hesitantly. When he saw who was behind him, an unnatural look flashed across the president's face. He explained, "Well..."
"He's hitting me." Mu Ling explained considerately.
In an instant, the air around them suddenly dropped by more than ten degrees.
Now that's better.
The president froze.
