Chapter 9 Military Dogs
And the night you were washed down to the lower reaches of the Pearl River on Sunday, you spent it in a pet shop.
You didn't sleep all night that day. When the morning light first came, you found a car on Sunday and continued the unfinished work yesterday.
You went to a nearby gas station, took two barrels of diesel, returned to the Junjue Hotel, reactivated the backup generator, put Sunday in the room and settled it, and set off again.
You know that you can no longer be greedy for a comfortable life. It is not necessary to say that you live in a top hotel safety, but retrieving oil back and forth every day to maintain electricity is not a long-term solution. Your actions will be severely restricted, you cannot understand the changes in the surrounding environment, and you cannot respond to any emergencies. You are like a player in a chess game, and your opponent is the entire Kangzhou City. In order to defeat nature, you must take one step and look at three steps and rely on your wisdom to prepare for the future.
Your choice is to live a "safari" style. Establish multiple strongholds in the city of Gangzhou to deal with various emergencies. After yesterday's accident, you deeply realize how dangerous it is to concentrate all your supplies in one place. If you encounter certain emergencies again, you cannot go home before dark in time and don't even have a reliable shelter, which is extremely fatal.
Hunting and scavenging can allow you to maximize the intelligence of Gangzhou City and make more efficient use of Gangzhou City's hidden resources. But it is undoubtedly a double-edged sword, because it means that you will be exploring outside longer than before and are more likely to encounter various unknown dangers.
So you think of self-defense tools at the first time. You think of it, everyone who survives in the end of the world should think of it first - but the self-defense tools you never thought of: guns.
Next door to the Baystream District is the famous Tai Po Military Academy in Kangzhou City. In the world war two centuries ago, many heroes who changed the course of history were studied there. Next door to the military academy is the active Tai Po Military Camp.
This is the only way you can get a gun.
You packed up some of your luggage and drove to the Tai Po Military Camp.
You did not enter the military camp as expected, and it rained all night long. You encountered a dog without healing your wounds.
This is a German shepherd, tall, extremely heroic, but looks quite weak, and must have been hungry for a while. In addition, the military rank below the neck - there is no doubt that this is a military dog.
It has no chains on its body. It is hungry, but it is always stationed on its post, like a door god.
The torn wound behind you began to ache again. You hesitated for a while, but you knew that you had no way out.
You got out of the car and walked forward carefully. The German Shepherd stared at you early on, with curiosity and vigilance in his eyes, and hissing sounds squeezed out from his teeth.
You put down the backpack behind you as slowly as possible, took out a can of lunch meat from it, opened the lid, and slowly approached.
Military dogs have been strictly trained and will not attack people at will. They smell the smell of food and saliva flows down the corners of their mouths.
"Shh-good dog, good dog..."
You hand the can in front of it, and it can smell it. The next moment, you throw the whole can of luncheon behind you.
"Go and eat!"
Hunger defeated reason. The German Shepherd instinctively ran towards the can, and you took advantage of this moment and hurried into the military camp.
The Tai Po military camp is very active and wide. You can't find the direction for a while. You run around like a headless fly along the school track, run to the cafeteria, pass by the conference room, pass by the military dog training ground, and break into the military dog dormitory by accident. You see a shocking scene: the dormitory cage is full of military dog corpses.
They were all starved to death. As for the German Shepherd outside, perhaps it was just the moment when the humans disappeared, and the humans still stood at their post after they suddenly disappeared. During this period, they probably only ate some snakes, insects, rats and ants to survive.
You felt a little sad, but you couldn't bear to think about it. You turned around and searched again, and finally came to the military room, hurriedly took some firearms that you couldn't understand and put them in your bag.
As soon as you step out of the door, you hear the extremely violent barking of dogs. In the distance, the German Shepherd is running towards you. It is obviously aware that it has been deceived by you. When you see you break into the barracks, you have already identified you as an enemy.
All of this happened in the flash - even though the military dog was weak, you were not much better, and the wound on his body did not allow you to make any resistance. It could tear you apart in just a few seconds.
You thought of the pistol in your backpack. Before you could think, your body moved instinctively. You reached into your bag and took out your pistol. You had never understood the structure of the pistol, but your hands were assembled on your own like a devil. Before the German Shepherd came up, your muzzle had already pointed at it and your fingers were pressed against the trigger.
You came to your senses at that moment. At that moment, your hair stood up, and in the subjective world, time seemed to slow down. So you could clearly see the German Shepherd flying towards you, every hair on its body was revealed, and you could see its angry eyes.
——It looks like Sunday.
——I also had this look when I was beaten up by wild dogs on Sunday and struggled to support it.
You can't help but put down your gun, even if it means giving up living for you.
A huge force knocks you down, hitting the back of your head on the ground, and starry eyes appear, and you can feel your sharp teeth pressing against your throat.
You close your eyes and wait for death.
You are not dead.
After a while, you opened your eyes and found that the German Shepherd was still pressing you under your body. It opened its mouth and saliva dripped on your neck. It was simple to bite off your neck. But you saw that there was no more anger in your eyes. You were silent, but you were infinitely surprised in your heart.
You can recognize it, it was a struggling look.
After a while, the German Shepherd climbed down from you. You sat up from the ground and stared at it in a daze. The German Shepherd also raised his head and looked at you with a very complex, complex look that you could not interpret as a human being.
It doesn't want to kill you. Why is this? Is it that long-term training has made it understand respect for human life, or is it aware that you are the last human in the world, or the canned "god of a meal"?
You woke up and turned around and took out another can of ham from your backpack and opened it, putting it in front of it.
This is undoubtedly a smart, healthy, trained dog. Perhaps, it can be a good friend to Sunday; perhaps, it cannot survive this injury on Sunday...
You are afraid of loneliness, so you try to speak:
"Are you going with me?"
The German Shepherd seemed to understand. No, you know it understood. You saw it raise its head again and stare at you silently. What kind of eyes was that? It looked like sadness, cowardice, grievance, and determination.
But it did not respond. It picked up the can and turned around and left without a sound.
