Chapter 9

What will happen?

Of course, some bad things will happen.

The evil of human nature has already begun to show in peacetime, when drunkards would kick stray dogs without saying a word, let alone this chaotic doomsday era.

You may no longer see the Peace Drunk, but the Doomsday Drunk will definitely appear.

"But shouldn't I be so pessimistic?" Thinking of this, Xu Zhou suddenly reflected.

"There's nothing wrong with being pessimistic. It's normal." The system thought it was perfectly normal. It had done so many missions and had seen all kinds of people. In comparison, she was still one of the good ones. "But, I thought you would bring your Border Collie with you."

"Stop talking, it's ignoring me."

Xu Zhou felt sad when she mentioned this. She had asked Bian Mu about this in the tent, but when he heard this, he ignored her and didn't even turn his head, just staring out of the tent. There was nothing outside, only a green field.

"I've wanted to get a dog before, but it never worked out."

Looking back on Xu Zhou’s history of trying to raise a dog, it is simply a tearful story.

Her stepfather and stepmother never restricted her freedom to keep pets.

When she was still a little girl, she couldn't walk when she saw the big black dog in the next yard with shiny fur and a cool howl that drove away outsiders. From then on, she fell in love with dogs at first sight and wanted to have a dog too.

Her parents had no objection to this, but they first educated her on dog-raising knowledge. Seeing that she understood everything and had not given up the idea of ​​raising a dog, they arranged to take her to the store to look for a dog that caught her eye.

But every time I go to see the dog, some small accidents happen.

For example, one time, when they were about to go out, the light bulb at home suddenly broke.

Halfway through their walk, they realized the door wasn't closed properly, so they rushed back home and discovered someone was robbing them.

On the way to sending the thief to the police station, they encountered falling objects again, and the flowerpot fell right in front of Xu's father's feet.

After arriving at the police station, Xu's mother was pushed down onto a bench by the victim's family members who suddenly became excited and pushed her.

After spending an afternoon at the police station, the victim's family finally compensated Xu's mother for her medical expenses.

It was already evening when the show ended, and the nearby shops didn't have the same specifications as the bulbs at home, so they ran to other streets to buy some. On the way back, Xiao Xuzhou was almost hit by a car going the other way, and was scared to tears.

Once, twice, and every time they went to see the dog, they encountered many setbacks, which made them wonder if it was an evil spirit or a sign from heaven.

Finally, her parents took her to the temple to worship.

The abbot of the temple they met told them that given her fate, it would be best not to keep a dog, otherwise she would suffer from constant small troubles and random big disasters. Not allowing her to keep a dog was to protect both her and the dog.

So, the matter of raising a dog was left unresolved.

After being with Xunchun, she talked about this matter.

Xunchun said that he should get a dog and he would take care of the dog, and she just needed to watch from the side, and maybe everything would be fine.

Later, he went to the store and brought back a healthy puppy. The owner of the store said that this puppy was in the best health and had never been sick. It looked very healthy.

Unexpectedly, the puppy fell ill after arriving home. Xunchun rushed the dog to the hospital and contacted other dog owners to adopt it.

Now she was heartbroken beyond measure.

Fortunately, she has a good relationship with dogs.

She would usually chat with other people's dogs when she met them on the street; she also liked to play with stray dogs she met, but she just couldn't take them home with her.

Because of this, she became a regular customer of the pet shop and became friends with the staff. The dogs in the pet shop would greet her when they saw her, which made people who came to see the dogs but had no one to care about very envious.

"No wonder you looked so serious when analyzing that Border Collie's speech," the system suddenly realized. "So it's the result of daily practice."

"That's nothing." Xu Zhou followed the system's instructions and was a little narcissistic. "It's mainly because I'm too good."

"You really don't treat yourself badly at all." The system commented, not knowing how to write the word "modest".

"Yeah, of course." Xu Zhou had a proud and confident expression on his face, "I still believe in the law of attraction, so of course I have to praise myself more."

"Indeed." The system responded.

It has a deep understanding.

It has a mission ally who has too little confidence in himself and is hesitant to do things. He suffered a lot in the early stage. Fortunately, he built up his confidence step by step in the later stage. As if he had magical powers, the mission was completed smoothly, and the ally himself also lived better and better.

"By the way, can your dog language translation function be synchronized with my brain?"

Xu Zhou was really envious of this skill. When she heard that the system could understand dog language, she was so excited that she wanted to have this skill herself.

"With this skill, I'm the king of dogs, right? I can summon dogs to charge for me."

"No." The system's cold tone echoed in her mind.

Xu Zhou sighed.

It seems that she will never become the king of dogs.

Feel sorry for herself for three seconds.

There are many dramas.

The system shook its head, ignoring her clumsy and exaggerated performance.

There was only one car on the deserted highway. Outside the car window, the green scenery quickly passed by, lush vines thru the guardrails and onto the road. Xunchun was so mesmerized that she reached out the window, trying to pluck a leaf.

Xu Zhou increased the speed of the car to 80 kilometers per hour.

Xunchun stretched out his right hand, but before he could grab a leaf, his hand had already passed through a pile of leaves. To make matters worse, there was an assassin hiding among the leaves, and the sharp edges of the leaves scratched his palm.

He withdrew his hand, which was covered with long, thin red lines.

He looked at it for a while, then rubbed the scar with his left hand, feeling a slight pain.

He frowned, not really understanding this sudden emotion.

These days, he always has some emotions that he had no impression of before. Although the impact is not big, he feels a little out of control.

He seems to be abnormal again.

As Xunchun thought about it, he began to doubt himself. His already dull eyes became even duller. He leaned back against the passenger seat, staring blankly ahead.

Xu Zhou took the time to glance at him.

Sit quietly in the passenger seat, don't move around, and the years are peaceful.

She made a judgment in her heart and ignored him.

Why?

The idle system looked up Xunchun's brain wave frequency and found that it was rising rapidly and fluctuating.

A zombie starts thinking about his own life, right?

It didn't understand either, and after taking a quick look, it didn't take it seriously. It rolled over and started looking through its own database to see if there was any new data shared from the communication center.

There was no data, but there were systems running at the same time showing off in the communication center that their mission was almost finished.

The system scoffed and clicked a report, with the reason being that "the speech affected the working mood of other systems."

After a while, the review team determined that the report failed.

It didn't give up and clicked report again.

Xu Zhou didn't know about the system's little tricks, she knew that the car was out of gas again.

In the afternoon, cars stopped in the middle of the national highway.

At this time, the next city was still one kilometer away, which would take about ten minutes to reach. She packed up the things in the car and headed forward with Xunchun.

In the afternoon, the temperature rose.

It's almost June now, and early summer is coming.

Facing the sun, Xu Zhou was shocked that she didn't feel hot. She knew that she was very afraid of heat before. Could it be that after experiencing the doomsday, her resistance became stronger?

Confused, she looked up at the sun, which was just as blinding as before.

Looking at Xunchun, it was the same. He carried his backpack, his back straight, and he didn't feel hot or tired at all, and he didn't say a word the whole way.

"System, has the temperature really risen?"

"Really, you've asked this question ten times."

After a doomsday, my health has improved. Who would believe this if I told anyone?

Xu Zhou couldn't find the reason, so he just kept walking forward.

As we walked forward, the outline of the city gradually emerged. Amidst the greenery, a vast expanse of gray emerged. The once prosperous city had become desolate. Perhaps in a few decades, it would be buried in dust, its past no longer existing.

Xu Zhou took Xunchun's wrist and prepared to walk into the city.

She was thinking, this time, she'd find a car with a more comfortable driver's seat, or maybe a pillow. She'd driven all the way here, and after sitting for so long, she'd just endured the discomfort. This time, she decided to be nicer to herself.

When they looked up, they saw a person standing not far ahead, looking at them.
