Chapter 144
Silently turning off the surveillance camera and pretending nothing had happened, Mu Ling lowered her head and continued to prepare breakfast for the animals.
The morning passed quickly. She was very busy during the peak traffic period at noon, but when it was two or three in the afternoon, the number of tourists gradually decreased, and Mu Ling realized that she seemed to have not seen Brother Xiang all morning.
She asked the others, "Have you seen Brother Xiang?"
The employee in question said, "Brother Xiang, it seems he went to deliver food to the workers repairing the protective net."
The Beek Zoo is different now. Last time when the workers came to repair the fence, they had to carry several days' worth of food into the mountains at a time. They slept and ate in the car every day, and their lives were very hard. But now it is different. The zoo has grown bigger, and there are people specially assigned to deliver the freshest meals to them every day.
However, when Mu Ling opened the shift schedule, she saw that the person responsible for delivering meals today was not Brother Xiang, but another employee.
Of course, it was common for people to take each other's shifts, so Mu Ling didn't pay much attention to it and continued working.
At night, Lin Xuan found Mu Ling and discussed with her the issue of releasing the desert colt into the wild. The desert colt Red Dragon was always locked in the room. Although its condition was improving with Lin Xuan's careful care, horses, after all, loved to run more.
In order to adjust the red dragon's mood, Lin Xuan thought that she would take the red dragon to the mountain during the day, and then bring the red dragon back when the nursery opened in the afternoon. This way, she could ensure that the red dragon had enough exercise, and running would also make it happy both physically and mentally.
Mu Ling thought Lin Xuan’s idea was good, but Lin Xuan had to ensure that he could control the red dragon. Otherwise, what if it ran away? Would he have to search the whole mountain for it?
Lin Xuan said that she could control herself, so Mu Ling asked her to give it a little try tomorrow, and if it worked, she could do it the same way in the future.
Now that she had arrived at the nursery, Mu Ling took the opportunity to inspect all the animals.
In the first room, Fass made a wooden swing and was pushing Snowbear Kill on it, which was nice.
In the second room, Li Yan and the keeper of the Nine-Needle Pig Swallowing were playing music for Swallowing and giving it a spiritual massage, which was pretty good.
The third room is the room of the desert red dragon. Lin Xuan is brushing the red dragon’s fur, preparing to release it into the wild tomorrow. Not bad.
In the fourth room, Kang Li and Dai Dai, the keeper of Yinfu Koala, are teaching Dai Dai a new game. As long as the ball is pushed into the hole, leaves will pop out. It's pretty good.
The fifth room...there was nothing there, just pure black.
The fifth room is inhabited by the withered owl Tianci. Because of an eye injury, this owl is afraid of everything around him. He often cosplays as a woodpecker and pecks everywhere, so his mental stress is getting greater day by day.
In order to make it relax, Mu Ling asked the instructor Zhao Fang and Tianci's keeper to turn off all the lights in Tianci's room. Owls are animals that can maintain their vision even in the dark. Before, its eyes were injured and it couldn't see in the dark, so it was nervous. But now it can see in the dark, so the darkness will not scare it. On the contrary, the absence of noise, light, and a completely quiet and private environment will give it a huge sense of security.
In this way, with the help of medication, its condition will gradually improve.
When Mu Ling passed by Tianci's room, she deliberately lowered her footsteps. Although the soundproof glass made it impossible for the withered eagle to hear any sound outside, she still subconsciously lowered her footsteps.
Passing Tianci's room, the next room is Badao's room.
Mu Ling stood at the door and saw someone in the room bending over to change Badao's water basin.
When Mu Ling saw Brother Xiang, she...
Wait, this isn't Brother Xiang!
Mu Ling frowned as she looked at the keeper who timidly changed the water bowl and then turned and ran away.
The keeper came out and saw Mu Ling at the door. He was stunned for a moment and asked, "Director, why are you here?"
Mu Ling asked: "Why are you changing the pot for Badao?"
The breeder took off his protective suit and said, "Brother Xiang is not here, he asked me to help change it."
Mu Ling asked: "Where did Brother Xiang go?"
"I went to patrol the mountains."
Until the keeper left, Mu Ling looked at the flat-footed orangutan who was sitting inside with his legs crossed and eating a banana, and slowly fell silent.
Because the protective net has not been completely repaired, the animals in the front and back mountains are still running around. Therefore, in order to prevent their animals from running to the back mountain, many patrolmen are still arranged on the mountain to patrol every day.
But Mu Ling had just looked at the shift schedule in the morning. It wasn't Brother Xiang who delivered the meals, nor was it Brother Xiang who was on patrol. But he went to deliver the meals and go on patrol without even telling her. Isn't he deliberately avoiding her?
Mu Ling raised her hand and couldn't help but touch her lips lightly, a little dazed: "Is it really that serious?"
Do boys also attach such great importance to chastity?
Sighing, Mu Ling continued walking forward, and finally, she arrived at the door of the Devil Wolf's room.
After looking at so many rooms, the one with the Devil Wolf is the most pitiful.
The war beasts in front were all accompanied by one or two keepers. Withered Eagle liked to be autistic, Badao wished that Brother Xiang would never come, and only the Devil Wolf looked pitiful, curled up in a corner of the mat, not daring to stretch his legs even when sleeping.
Mu Ling opened the door and went in. Hearing the sound of the door opening, the Devil Wolf immediately opened his eyes. Seeing that it was Mu Ling, the introverted gray wolf's eyes lit up instantly. After a few days of getting along, the Devil Wolf had become very close to Mu Ling!
Mu Ling closed the door, squatted at the door, and waved to the Devil Wolf: "Come, come here."
The devil wolf's tail was swinging wildly, and its mouth was open, as if it was laughing, but it didn't move.
Standing and walking are still too unfamiliar to it.
Mu Ling sighed and could only step forward, then support its body and help it stand up.
With Mu Ling's support, the devil wolf stood up easily. It was no longer like before, where its legs would go weak after standing for a few seconds. Now, after training, it could stand very well, although it still trembled a little instinctively.
Mu Ling touched it and praised: "Great, really amazing, come, let's go to the toilet."
Mu Ling led the stumbling Devil Wolf all the way to the potty.
The devil wolf clumsily stepped into the potty, and after defecating, he came out immediately. Then, feeling a little guilty, he walked over to Mu Ling and butted his head against Mu Ling's knees.
In the past, when the Devil Wolf was in the laboratory, he ate, drank, defecated and urinated in the cage. The cage was very dirty every day, and the staff who cleaned it might occasionally lose their temper. Over time, the Devil Wolf developed a feeling that defecation was a wrong thing.
It's the same now. It defecated on the blanket on the first day it came, and was very scared after that. When Mu Ling came in again, it trembled all over and was very nervous, afraid that Mu Ling would scold it.
Of course Mu Ling didn't scold it. She stroked it gently, slowly taught it to stand, and taught it to go to the potty to go to the toilet. Now, the devil wolf can go to the potty to go to the toilet, but it doesn't dare to go by itself. It always waits for Mu Ling or Xiang Bie to come, pick it up, and then take it to go.
"You are very powerful now. I have never seen a wolf so powerful that can go to the potty by itself." Mu Ling blew with her eyes closed.
The devil wolf was still sticking to Mu Ling. As long as it was close to her, it felt safe and its tail kept wagging.
Mu Ling trained with the Devil Wolf for half an hour and then left.
When she left today, the devil wolf had made progress and was able to follow her to the door.
Mu Ling smiled and said, "No need to see me off. See you tomorrow."
After closing the door, Mu Ling looked back and saw the devil wolf sniffing at the door, then turned around and sat down on the spot.
Its face is facing the door, just like a dog waiting for its owner to come home after he goes out.
Mu Ling pursed her lips and sighed.
Who would dare to believe that this is a devil wolf? It's so well behaved...
In the next two days, Mu Ling was still busy, especially at the nursery.
The first batch of their war beast nursery consists of ten animals. Five have arrived so far, and the remaining five will be accepted before February.
Previously, due to the strange beast incident and the Chinese New Year, the delivery of the sixth and seventh war beasts was delayed. Now that the Chinese New Year has passed, on the 4th, the sixth war beast was finally delivered.
The sixth war beast is an S-level Ant Beast named Warrior.
The Metatron, also known as the Acquired Anteater, is an evolved species of the common anteater. The appearance of the two is almost the same, but the name Acquired Anteater is too long, so everyone just calls it the Metatron.
The symptoms of this anteater are insomnia, depression, and anorexia.
The cause of these symptoms is post-traumatic stress disorder.
Warrior and his mother serve in the same unit. They often see each other and act together.
Once, while on a mission, the warrior was attacked by a group of strange beasts. At the critical moment, his mother rushed out to save him, but she was also bitten to death by the strange beasts.
The warrior watched his mother die before his eyes, and he was injured, with nerve damage and post-traumatic stress syndrome, and his damage value continued to increase.
When Mu Ling received it, she saw through the cage that the anteater inside looked like it had lost all hope in life.
She sighed and said to the warrior's keeper, "Don't worry, the warrior just needs a mother. We have many mothers in the Beak Zoo. We will find a stepmother for him who can help him slowly get over the pain of losing his mother."
The warrior's keeper: "..."
The warrior's keeper asked cautiously, "Could this stepmother be you, Director Mu?"
The news that Director Mu pretended to be the animals' relative or friend every day spread throughout the animal community.
Mu Ling: “…”
Mu Ling said: "No..."
The warrior's keeper was a little disappointed. He felt that having Director Mu as a stepmother might be more effective.
The day after the anteater arrived, the seventh war beast, the A-level white-headed monkey, Feiyue, was also delivered.
The white-headed monkey is an evolved species of the spider monkey. The difference between them is that the white-headed monkey is grayish white all over, while the ordinary spider monkey is black.
As for the white-headed monkey's illness, it is a bit complicated.
Feiyue was injured during an operation. After recovery, it was discovered that he had nerve damage. However, compared to other animals that are extremely sensitive, suspicious, and resist humans due to nerve damage, Feiyue's temperament can be said to be very docile.
Fei Yue lasted for a long time, and the damage value did not exceed 20%. In fact, with this level of damage value, it would not even be forced to retire, but Fei Yue's owner still applied for its retirement. Then, as soon as Fei Yue left, its owner used his merits to exchange for another war beast.
Feiyue's keeper said helplessly, "For two whole years, we've called countless times, but his owner hasn't come to see Feiyue once, not even to ask if he's doing well. Feiyue can't wait for his owner, and his damage is getting worse day by day. He's already showing signs of cognitive impairment. We've tried everything, but nothing can improve his condition, so we had no choice but to send him to you to try."
Mu Ling looked at the little white-headed monkey in the cage. Perhaps because it was in an unfamiliar environment, the white-headed monkey was a little nervous. It was sniffing everywhere. When it saw Mu Ling looking at it, it shrank to the innermost part of the cage and hugged its long tail anxiously.
Mu Ling said to Feiyue's breeder, "Don't worry, it's just the owner. I will give it whatever it needs."
Feiyue's breeder smiled bitterly: "But we really contacted Feiyue's owner many times, and he kept shirking his responsibilities..."
"Who said that?" Mu Ling said, "If the master can change the war beast, can't the war beast change the master? Let's find a new one, any size, any man, woman, old or young, Feiyue can pick one, even non-human ones are fine, tiger, leopard, lion, wolf, gorilla, baboon, fox or bear, whoever it wants, I will give it to it. I don't believe that Feiyue can't find a new master."
The flying breeder laughed when he heard this and said, "Thank you. I'll listen to you anyway. You're sure to find a solution."
Warrior's one-on-one instructor is the breeder Buser.
Feiyue’s one-on-one teaching teacher is the breeder Xiao Li.
After settling the two new war beasts, Mu Ling began to look for stepmothers and new owners for them.
After selecting several candidates and several candidate beasts, Mu Ling pondered and subconsciously asked, "Brother Xiang, what do you think..."
After saying this, Mu Ling was stunned. She looked around...
She is now in the veterinary station, and there are only her and Dr. Bray in the entire veterinary station, no one else.
Dr. Bray was doing a microscope analysis. He wrote down a data point and asked without even looking up, "What did you just say?"
Mu Ling leaned on the sofa, pursed her lips, and said, "Nothing..."
Then he asked, "Dr. Bray, what day is it today?"
Dr. Bray thought for a moment and said, "Number six, what's wrong?"
Number 6. Brother Xiang entered the mountain on the 1st. Today is the 6th and he hasn't come out yet...
Mu Ling flipped through the documents in her hand gloomily, mumbling: "It was just a kiss, you stingy guy..."
Dr. Bray didn't hear clearly again and asked, "Huh? What did you say?"
Mu Ling suddenly yelled loudly: "I said, why can't you hear anything? I'm not talking to you!"
After saying that, she got up and left.
Dr. Bray: “…”
Dr. Bray raised his head and looked at the door blankly. He was dumbfounded: "Why are you so fierce? I didn't provoke you. Are you crazy..."
-
Mu Ling walked outside, got into the patrol car, then took out the intercom in the car and started talking into it.
After a while, the intercom was connected, and Mu Ling said with a stern face, "Brother Xiang."
There was silence on the other end for a while, and then Xiang Bie's voice came: "Hmm."
Mu Ling asked, "How long will you continue patrolling?"
Item: “Two days.”
Mu Ling: "Oh."
“…”
“…”
Silence suddenly spread between the two of them.
After a minute, Xiang Bie said, "One day."
Mu Ling: “…”
Another minute passed, and Xiang Bie said, "Today."
Mu Ling: “…”
Finally, Xiang Bie sighed and said, "I'll hand over my shift and come down now."
Mu Ling laughed: "Drive safely."
After saying that, he hung up the intercom.
