Chapter 61
There are many cases of animal calls in anthropology.
For example, if you have a pet, when the pet barks, you can't help but bark, trying to get closer to it.
For example, when you visit a zoo and a wild animal in a cage roars, you roar along with it. This is your way of teasing it.
There is nothing wrong with calling animals by their anthropological name, but the problem is that we cannot do it regardless of the occasion!
The Purple Electric Baboon is not your pet, nor is it a wild beast kept in a cage.
This is the wilderness, a high-risk environment, surrounded by armed police officers. This beast, which had just killed someone, had a very high IQ and was extremely aggressive, and was already in a state of tension and stress.
In this case, if you imitate the animal's calls, you are likely to irritate it and make it mistakenly think that you are provoking it!
Netizens were watching the fun, Wei Li felt embarrassed, but the police were the only ones who were really scared.
The captain's sweat had already started to drip down his body. He stared intently at the man and baboon in front of him, afraid that if he didn't pay attention, the baboon would go crazy!
"Oh wow - oh wow -" The purple electric baboon's cry became more and more shrill, but no matter how it called, the familiar red-bellied monkey did not appear.
I clearly heard the sound, why didn’t it appear?
It's fake, it's a liar!
The purple electric baboon suddenly realized that it had been tricked. It hugged the policeman's neck, stepped on the policeman's shoulders, and roared angrily in Mu Ling's direction: "Aozhi, aozhi!"
The captain was already panicking, and when he saw this, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with it? Did you scare it?"
The other policemen on the intercom were instantly surprised: "Captain, this is a good position, from here we can shoot its limbs!"
The captain didn't bother to answer them. He just stared at Mu Ling: "Director Mu, can you do it?"
Mu Ling calmed down and tried to stay calm.
Mu Ling has been intensively studying animal knowledge lately, so she could naturally tell that the purple electric baboon's howl was full of hostility.
But everything was fine just now, why did you suddenly turn against me?
Did it realize that she was deceiving it?
If he can even detect this, can he really be that smart?
Did it go to college?
Mu Ling thought about it and decided to try another method. She took out a handful of freeze-dried food from the pocket of her backpack.
These freeze-dried foods are snacks for the actors.
Mu Ling continued to yell "Oh oh" while gently throwing the freeze-dried food over.
When the purple electric baboon saw something thrown at it, it immediately hid behind the policeman and stared at the freeze-dried food on the ground vigilantly.
The freeze-dried object didn't move. It wasn't a weapon, but instead had a sweet food smell.
But it was not hungry, and the food could not attract its attention. It looked fiercely at the human opposite again!
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling was really in trouble now.
Commands don’t work, calls don’t work, food doesn’t work.
The difficulty of soothing this baboon was far beyond her imagination.
Is this the purple electric baboon? Its IQ is so high that it seems like a human pretending to be one!
Wait, high IQ!
Mu Ling began to observe the behavior of the baboon carefully again. She found that the baboon was always staring at the green bushes behind it.
Mu Ling asked the captain: "Does it want to run from behind?"
The captain had already noticed it and said, "That's probably the case, but we won't let it get away. Once it escapes the encirclement, there will be people everywhere. If it accidentally injures pedestrians, it will cause a huge mess!"
Mu Ling pondered for a moment, then looked at the collapsed truck next to her, and then said, "But I have a bold idea."
The captain was stunned and looked at her.
A minute later, Mu Ling began to slowly retreat.
When the purple electric baboon saw the fake monkey gradually leaving its sight, it was a little puzzled and looked over there vigilantly with its head tilted.
Just watched it for two seconds...
"Oh——" The strange cry attracted its attention.
The purple electric baboon turned around in confusion and found that it was another human imitating the roar of the flame, but his imitation was not similar at all, it was more like the cry of a chicken.
The purple electric baboon tilted its head and looked at the human again.
The captain's face flushed, he gritted his teeth and yelled again: "Oh - Oh -"
Purple Lightning Baboon: “?”
The held police officer: “?”
Other police officers: “?”
"Captain, Captain..." The other policemen were panicking: "What are you doing?"
The captain's ears and neck were all red. He shouted angrily, "Don't listen! Don't ask!"
At the same time, in all the major live broadcast rooms, the anchors and viewers were stunned...
[No, how can there be inheritance? ]
Wei Li also tugged at his brother Xiang's arm, saying bitterly, "Brother Xiang, the headmaster has already started recruiting subordinates! Did she pua the police officer?"
Category: "..."
Xiang Bie pulled his arm back coldly and said with a headache: "Shut up!"
Mu Ling asked the captain to temporarily distract the purple electric baboon, while she herself retreated outside the cordon and ran towards several car owners stuck in traffic...
At the same time, the purple electric baboon was completely confused by these humans. It silently put its chin on the hostage's head, hugged the hostage's neck with its long arms, and crossed its legs around the hostage's waist. It just held the hostage like this, blinking in confusion.
hostage:"……"
I don't know why, but suddenly... I feel a little happy?
The captain continued to shout, and while shouting, he was secretly hoping that Principal Mu would come back soon!
Finally, after a minute, the sound of a vehicle horn was heard from behind.
The other surrounding policemen immediately looked back and saw seven or eight cars outside the cordon with their headlights on, as if they wanted to come in.
"What's going on? Isn't it blocked?"
The captain then used the full-frequency intercom to inform everyone: "Let it go, the vehicle is allowed to pass."
"Captain?" The other police officers were confused. "Why are you letting them go?"
The captain said solemnly: "You will know in a moment!"
The staff in charge of security naturally let them go after hearing the captain's order.
In an instant, all the vehicles entered, and the police were a little confused. A few cars drove over and dispersed their team.
They all complained on the intercom: "Captain!"
"Captain, what are you doing..."
Before he could finish his words, someone suddenly shouted, "It's gone! The baboon has run away!"
In an instant, everyone looked over.
Taking advantage of the chaos at the scene, the purple electric baboon quickly jumped off the hostage's back, rushed into the grass, and ran away along the green belt!
"Everyone get in the car!" the captain ordered immediately.
The police then discovered that the cars coming over were all cars of passers-by who were stuck behind them. After these cars stopped in front of them, the owners took the initiative to get out and give their cars to them.
Although the police were puzzled, they quickly got into the car.
The captain gave the order again: "Chase forward at a steady speed, don't get too close to the baboon, and always obey my orders!"
There are eight cars in total, seven of which are now carrying police officers, but one car has never stopped since it came in.
Mu Ling drove the car along the green belt, parallel to the purple electric baboon.
The purple electric baboon naturally discovered Mu Ling's car and was about to run to the side, but Mu Ling stepped on the accelerator and drove the car directly in front of the purple electric baboon.
The purple electric baboon originally thought that the car was coming to catch it, but when it saw that it was not, it breathed a sigh of relief.
But before it could breathe a sigh of relief, it discovered that there were more cars chasing it, and humans with guns in hand kept sticking their heads out of the cars behind.
These are the ones who are here to catch it!
The desire to survive made the purple electric baboon make a choice very quickly.
Its leg was injured, and it knew it couldn't outrun the car behind it, so it immediately sped up, caught up with the car in front, and then jumped onto the roof of the car.
Mu Ling felt the baboon jump onto the roof of her car. She glanced upwards and continued to move forward at a faster pace.
At this moment, gunshots were heard from behind.
The "bang bang" sound of gunfire made the purple electric baboon look back in fear. It bared its teeth and roared at the back, but was met with more gunshots.
The purple electric baboon looked around and saw that there was no place to hide, so it simply hung upside down and crawled into the car through the open rear window.
Just after it got in, the purple electric baboon had no time to react when it was suddenly pricked on the arm by something.
It immediately turned its head to look over, but its consciousness was already fading rapidly. Before it passed out, it only managed to see a vague human figure and a white collar...
"Squeak." Mu Ling stopped the car in the middle of the road.
Soon, several cars behind caught up and surrounded her car. Countless policemen got out of the cars, holding their guns and slowly approaching her.
Mu Ling stuck her head out and said to the police, "She's been anesthetized."
The captain led his men to the back seat of the car and saw the unconscious purple electric baboon.
Mu Ling got out of the car, picked up the backpack from the passenger seat, and hung the white fox back in her arms.
The captain then ordered others to carry the baboon out, while he picked up a white collar from the back seat and handed it to Mu Ling.
Mu Ling took the collar, said thank you, then bent down and kissed the white fox, who was curiously looking towards the baboon, and said, "I used your anesthesia collar on another animal. I'll buy you a new one later."
The white fox didn't understand what was going on, and just rubbed Mu Ling's chin affectionately with its nose.
The captain looked at the intimate behavior between the woman and the fox, and thought of what Director Mu had said a few minutes ago.
"I have a bold idea..."
After she finished her idea, the captain directly rejected it: "It's indeed very bold. Do you know how big the risk is? What if it gets scared by the sound of the car? What if it hurts someone directly? What if it..."
"It won't hurt anyone, Mr. Policeman. Can't you see? If it wanted to hurt someone, it wouldn't have refrained from doing so. It just wants to escape..."
"No harm? Look carefully at our police officers' clothes. They have been torn into pieces. The chest and arms are torn into pieces. It's going to rip out people's hearts. You still say it won't hurt people?"
"That's because it didn't feel safe at the time. It wasn't sure if the hostage would attack it first when it ran towards him, so it had to strike first. You all had guns, and it was afraid of you. But after it was sure that the hostage wouldn't hurt it, it didn't hurt him. Mr. Policeman, it's a war beast, it has received professional training, and it won't hurt people for no reason, unless someone else hurts it first!"
Their discussion reached an impasse.
Then, Director Mu said, "I know this is very risky, but please believe me. I have anesthetics here. My white fox wears an anesthetic collar. The anesthetic inside can make Feifan faint in less than half a second. As long as I can get close to it..."
"But you can't get close to it. Even if I agree with your plan and it really runs into the bushes, how can you guarantee that it will take the initiative to jump onto your car and let you complete your plan? What if it runs away? We have finally controlled it. What if it hurts pedestrians?"
"Then you can shoot! If several cars drive by at the same time and it gets scared and hurts your colleagues, you can just shoot. If it doesn't get on my car and runs to a crowded place, you can just shoot! Is that okay?"
The captain was very upset: "...Can't you just delay it a little longer? Drag the people from the zoo over here with tranquilizer guns!"
"Mr. Policeman, do you think it will let us keep dragging it along like this? Its hind legs are bleeding and it's very anxious now. If we insist on not letting it go, we'll just make it anxious and crazy..."
Maybe he was possessed by a ghost, or maybe he had watched many videos of Director Mu and knew that she was really good at dealing with war beasts.
In the end, he actually agreed to her ridiculous plan.
But it was not until he saw the purple electric baboon really take advantage of the chaos to escape, really jump onto the roof of her car, and really hide in the car in fear at the gunshots they deliberately made, and was knocked unconscious by her, that he realized that Director Mu had really studied animal psychology to the extreme.
"One question." The other officers were transferring the purple electric baboon to a larger police car. The captain stood in front of Mu Ling and asked seriously, "How did you know for sure it would jump into your car?"
"Because it's very smart." Mu Ling smiled. "So, this is a trap I set specifically for smart animals. Stupid animals might not fall for it."
The policeman thought for a while, then said, "I'd like to trouble you to come with us. As for the cars, we will return them."
There were only two police cars, and Mu Ling needed many cars to divert the baboon's attention, so these cars were temporarily borrowed from the owners of those stuck in traffic by Mu Ling using her face. She had nothing to thank them with, so she could only promise to give each of them ten tickets to the Piccolo Zoo, with no time limit and available for use at any time.
Mu Ling took a police car to the police station.
An hour later, Mu Ling finished her confession and just came out of the police station office, she saw Director Tian waiting for her outside.
Mu Ling hurriedly went up to him: "Director Tian."
Director Tian looked at Mu Ling solemnly for a while, then sighed, "You are in too much danger today."
Obviously, he had learned about Mu Ling's actions from the police.
Mu Ling was a little embarrassed, pointed at her clothes and said, "I wore a bulletproof vest before getting on the car, it's not too dangerous..."
Then she added, "By the way, the bulletproof vest has to be returned to the owner."
After Mu Ling took off her clothes and returned them, she asked Director Tian, "Director Tian, how is Feifan now?"
Director Tian's assistant said, "It has been transported back to the zoo. Feifan's leg was shot, and the bullet has been taken away by the police. We have also paid the compensation for those who were scratched by it, but the police said that the dead truck driver was an illegal resident, so there might be something wrong with him, so we need to investigate further."
Mu Ling frowned. In the interstellar age, population censuses were extremely rigorous, especially since Siwan Star was a large planet. Even if those poachers had come, they would have at least used some false information. If they were purely undocumented, then it was very likely that...
Rebels!
Mu Ling's expression changed.
Director Tian was certainly aware of what Mu Ling could think of. He said, feeling a bit exhausted, "Alright, you should hurry back to the hotel and get some rest. We're all grateful to you for today. As for Feifan, he's been heavily anesthetized. I don't think he'll wake up in less than fifteen hours. Come back and see him tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, Mu Ling touched Ling Ren in her arms and explained, "Ling Ren metabolizes anesthetics too quickly, so the anesthetic collar I gave him is about twice as strong as normal. This will help Feifan get some more rest, but I can't go back to the hotel yet. I still have to go to Monty Zoo."
Manager Ge must have been almost crying waiting for her...
Director Tian looked at the time and said, "Then let the driver take you there."
Mu Ling smiled and bowed sincerely to Director Tian: "Director Tian, thank you so much, you are so kind, you are as good as my grandfather!"
Director Tian paused, then looked at Mu Ling deeply and smiled bitterly: "I don't have a granddaughter as troublesome as you. Okay, let's go."
-
Mu Ling arrived at the Monti Zoo around six in the evening. Sure enough, Manager Ge was still waiting for her. As soon as he saw her, he said, "I saw all the trending searches about you imitating monkey calls. Did you catch the purple electric baboon? Are you okay?"
Mu Ling smiled and shook her head: "I'm fine, what about Jixiang? Is it still not eating?"
Manager Ge sighed, "No, I didn't eat. I listened to you and sent it back to the venue. But it didn't relax much after returning to the venue. It kept walking around. It has been walking for several hours. It feels like it is about to collapse again."
Mu Ling pondered for a moment and said, "This behavior, just like its refusal to sleep a few nights ago, is a form of stereotyped behavior and a psychological disorder. I'm sure Dr. John has told you about this, right?"
Manager Ge nodded. "Yes, but generally, cats exhibit such stereotyped behavior because their living space is too cramped, which leads to endocrine disorders and constrained instincts, resulting in aimless, mechanical actions. But the venue we arranged for it is very large, as big as a small hill, enough to accommodate a hundred leopards!"
Mu Ling pursed her lips: "But it is a venue after all."
Manager Ge fell silent.
Mu Ling didn't want to discourage him, so she said, "Let's go take a look first. I'll see if I can coax it into eating something."
Manager Ge nodded, opened the door and let Mu Ling get in, then asked casually, "How do you coax her? Do you want to imitate a leopard's roar?"
Mu Ling: “…”
She doesn't imitate animal sounds every time she sees someone!
After driving for a while, we arrived at the leopard's venue.
It is indeed very large, as big as ten animal dormitories combined.
Such a big place is more than enough for a leopard to live in. Mu Ling saw that the venue was equipped with many activity facilities, which could fully ensure the leopard's exercise. The living environment was also very good, with flowers and trees, simulating a mountain forest environment, and there were also many rockery.
But despite this, Mu Ling still spotted the leopard walking slowly, lonely and tired, in the afterglow of the setting sun...
The leopard may have smelled the scent of human beings. Without even looking back, it slowly walked deeper into the forest.
Manager Ge took out his laptop and showed Mu Ling the surveillance footage in the woods.
Mu Ling saw that Jixiang was still walking around after entering the forest. Because he walked unsteadily, he would occasionally fall, then stand up and continue walking.
Mu Ling asked: "Can you give me a set of protective clothing?"
Manager Ge hurriedly asked the staff to bring protective clothing.
Mu Ling put on her protective suit and walked in. Manager Ge wanted to follow, but Mu Ling refused: "It has expressed its love for me before. It's better for me to go in alone."
After Mu Ling entered the venue, she saw the leopard soon.
This time, the leopard turned around and looked at Mu Ling.
But it seemed that it no longer recognized Mu Ling. It sniffed with the tip of its nose, but there was no reaction after a long time.
"Jixiang, do you still remember your sister? You helped her capture strange beasts before."
The leopard lowered its upper body slightly, growling and striking an attacking stance, intending to drive the human away...
But its body was too weak, and the threat it posed seemed feeble. Mu Ling simply squatted down and waved at the leopard: "Sister, I remember how powerful Jixiang was back then, incredibly powerful. If it weren't for Jixiang, that strange beast would have gotten away..."
"Awesome" and "Great", these two words of praise seem familiar?
The leopard used its slow brain to react for a while. After a while, it seemed to remember something and looked at Mu Ling in confusion.
Mu Ling rolled her eyes and made Lingren in her arms face the leopard, introducing it: "This is Lingren. It's also an awesome war beast, Lingren, right?"
Mu Ling lowered her head and kissed Lingren's forehead, then scratched Lingren's chin. The white fox immediately made a comfortable gurgling sound, and rubbed Mu Ling with its forehead in a sticky manner.
The leopard watched their interaction and became even more confused...
In front of the leopard, Mu Ling got close to Ling Ren, stroking it, kissing it, burying her face in Ling Ren's fur, and rubbing against it repeatedly.
The leopard tilted its head and blinked its brown eyes.
Lingren, however, really liked being intimate with Mu Ling. He held Mu Ling's head with all four of his paws, then licked Mu Ling's fur lovingly, making soft, coquettish sounds: "嘤嘤, 嘤嘤..."
The actor's reaction could not be faked, and the leopard seemed to have finally remembered something.
It seemed like someone had touched it like this not long ago.
It seems that person would also praise it in such a gentle voice.
It will also act coquettishly towards that person...
The leopard was not sure if it was the person in front of it, and it couldn't help but take a step forward, and then another step. After a while, it stopped three steps away from Mu Ling, stretched its neck and sniffed her.
Seeing this, Mu Ling stretched out a finger and approached the leopard.
The leopard sniffed Mu Ling's finger warily, then it looked at the white fox. Seeing that the white fox was rubbing its forehead against the human's chin, it hesitantly followed the white fox's instruction, twisted its head, covered its ears, and carefully rubbed the finger with its forehead.
Mu Ling's eyes lit up, and she struck while the iron was hot, quickly scratching the leopard's big brown nose with her finger.
The leopard felt comfortable and looked at the white fox again. Seeing that the white fox was licking the human's chin, it followed suit and licked the finger as well.
Mu Ling spread out her palms and simply scratched the leopard's neck.
The leopard finally sat down at this time. It lay on the ground a little tiredly and looked at the white fox again.
Seeing that the white fox allowed humans to bury their faces in its belly, it hesitated for a moment, then turned over, revealing its spotted belly, and looked at Mu Ling innocently.
The tool fox triggered the leopard's subjective initiative. Mu Ling quickly plucked up her courage, moved a little closer, and touched the leopard's belly.
The leopard felt a little strange. It scratched its face with its claws, then turned over and sat up, shook its head, stood up again, and took two steps towards Mu Ling.
Ten minutes later.
Manager Ge was smoking a cigarette and watching the surveillance footage, feeling so mixed up that he was speechless.
Jixiang's keeper was watching with him. Suddenly, the keeper exclaimed in surprise: "It ate it, it ate it. Jixiang ate the freeze-dried food she fed him!"
Manager Ge said quietly, "Because it saw Lingren eating, it rushed to eat. Maybe the food it grabbed tastes better? Or should we try raising it in a group with Jixiang?"
The keeper quickly said, "No, no, no, we tried that once before and it nearly killed the leopard!"
Manager Ge frowned. "What if they raise it with other war beasts? I heard from Manager Harry today that Lingren is actually very possessive. Yesterday, Director Mu petted a red fox, and Lingren immediately got angry. But now Director Mu petted Jixiang, and Lingren didn't seem too angry. Could it be that war beasts are particularly tolerant of each other?"
The keeper said helplessly, "But the free-range war beasts at Changshan Zoo are all kept in separate corners, never together. Forcing them into cages has been tried in other zoos before, and it never ended well..."
Manager Ge raised his eyebrows. "Who said that? There are so many war beasts in the animal quarters at the Beak Zoo. Aren't they good enough?"
The keeper was speechless: "You also said that it was the Beak Zoo. There is only one Beak Zoo in the entire Federation!"
Manager Ge continued to watch the footage on the surveillance camera. After a long silence, he pursed his lips and said, "Let's wait and see. If it really doesn't work, there's only one last resort."
The breeder asked, "What's the solution?"
Manager Ge was helpless: "Send Jixiang to study abroad at the Beak Zoo. Let's see if Director Mu is willing to take him back to stay for a while. We can send him back when he gets better..."
The zookeeper's eyes lit up instantly: "In that case, can I also go to the Piccolo Zoo?"
Manager Ge: “…”
Why are you so happy?
You go with me, and then you become a worker for Beak Zoo, and in the end I pay you a salary...
I also paid for Jixiang's accommodation, food, and medical expenses...
What is going on here...
-
At the same time, when Mu Ling was still coaxing Jixiang at Monty Zoo.
Near the old factory in the southern area of Siwanxing.
Luo En had just come back from outside. As soon as he walked into the surveillance area, he felt that something was wrong with the base today.
There was a distinct smell of blood in the air.
He immediately took out his pistol and carefully opened the door.
As soon as he entered, he was stunned.
There was blood all over the ground at the gate, and two bodies covered with white cloth were placed by the door.
Lorne frowned, bent down, and lifted the white cloth.
In an instant, he saw two familiar faces, the faces of two researchers...
"You're back." A tired female voice came from inside.
Lorne immediately looked up and saw that it was the lab technician, Fini. Lorne pointed at the body on the ground and asked, "What's going on?"
Finney was also injured, with a bandage on her hand. She hesitated and said, "That baboon... ran out..."
Loen's pupils shrank, and he immediately pushed Finny away and walked in quickly.
As soon as he entered, he saw that the place was in even greater disarray. Broken medical instruments were scattered on the ground, and many researchers in white coats were applying medicine to each other.
Seeing Luo En coming back, everyone fell silent and stood up.
Especially the grumpy man in a white coat who was responsible for taking care of the purple electric baboon's food and drink had already shrunk into the corner.
Loen saw that there was indeed no baboon in the innermost temporary detention room. He immediately walked out and asked loudly, "What's going on?"
Everyone was silent. Finally, Finny followed in, lowering her head and whispering, "That baboon, for some reason, escaped from its cage and attacked all of us. We're all researchers, and we're not very good with guns. We were no match for it. We don't know how it could..."
"Don't talk nonsense to me!" Lorne gritted his teeth. "Where did it go? Why don't you chase it? Why don't you chase it?"
"We chased him. Lao Zhou drove after him, but..."
"But what?"
Finney's hands trembled as she opened her laptop and showed him the trending searches...
A purple electric baboon killed a truck driver in the street...
Purple electric baboons cause traffic jams...
The police successfully captured the purple electric baboon...
As Lorne watched, he clenched his fists and could barely breathe.
The next second, he suddenly saw a familiar figure among the news reports...
On an empty road separated by a cordon, a young girl was holding a backpack. Inside the backpack, a snow-white fox was poking its head out...
Loen's eyes paused, and he immediately swiped his light brain to get more information.
After a while, he finished reading the news, his face suddenly turned cold, and he uttered three words through his teeth: "It's her again!"
Bic Zoo!
Mu Ling!
It's her again!
