Chapter 198 Zootopia

Chapter 198 Zootopia

The King Charles Spaniel has two large drooping ears, which from a distance look like curly hair falling beside the ears. They look good, but are very troublesome.

Qiao Song felt that his hearing was not as good as before.

The five senses are improved by 75%. Where did the improvement go?

She walked back to the window and scouted the scene outside again. This time, to her surprise, she seemed to be able to see farther.

Tangyuan's family lives on a very high floor, so the view is quite broad. From this perspective, the roads outside the city become more and more obvious.

It is a place with unspeakable attraction for players.

Whether it was looking for the river where the so-called "human pet" crawled out, or going out of the city, she had to go out and take a look.

Before Qiao Song went out, he hesitated for a moment whether to come back.

She glanced at Gao Chengcheng who was napping in the pet box by the window, and finally went to the kitchen, pulled out a piece of kitchen paper and stuck it on the door.

Strictly speaking, this is a family of six, living in a high-rise duplex.

The schedule at the door also wrote down the time each child got out of school and who would be picking them up. The earliest was four o'clock in the afternoon, and as long as she came back before that time, everything could be restored.

In addition to the schedule for shopping, housework, and picking up children, there are also various photos on the memo board in the entrance hall.

All four puppies appear, but it can be seen that there are no photos of them as children, nor did they grow up with the photos. Some of the puppies even seem to have suddenly appeared in this family.

There are even fewer photos of the two big dogs, and they almost only appear when they are photographed with the children.

Qiao Song wondered if these six members of the family were really all local residents?

Or are all the dogs hurrying around in Zootopia transformed from humans?

She walked out of the house carefully and found that there was one household per floor, so there was no need to worry about running into neighbors.

The children's clothes were too small for her, so she went to the German Shepherd's closet and found an old piece of clothing that was at the bottom of the closet and put it on so that she could return the clothes if she wanted to come back later.

The metal elevator went down 88 floors, reminding her of a blind box mall.

I don’t know if it’s because I was wearing German Shepherd’s clothes, but Qiao Song felt like he also had a German Shepherd scent on him.

Her sense of smell is now extremely sensitive, and she can even smell that a little Teddy and an adult Labrador had entered the elevator not long ago.

Although my ears were covered, I could still hear the slight sound of the steel cables turning on the top of the almost silent elevator car.

As they were about to reach the first floor, Qiao Song suddenly heard a very slight electronic sound.

The elevator arrived, and after a ding, a robot that looked like a street trash can was already standing at the elevator door.

"Good morning, the floor manager is on patrol, I wish you a good day."

Qiao Song's body stiffened for a second, but she soon realized that the robot briefly scanned her for a few seconds before taking the initiative to enter the elevator. When she turned around, a smiley face icon immediately appeared on the screen.

Qiao Song walked out of the elevator and left the lobby. She soon understood why the robot let her go.

It's the taste.

Puppy scent is like a natural ID card.

Qiao Song was standing on the busy street, and in an instant he could smell many messages sent to him by strange dogs.

"It's over, it's over, it's over, I'm late again!" The puppy, wearing a school uniform, smelled of a very fresh book scent. Qiao Song could even smell that the fried dough sticks he was eating were fried a long time ago and were not very fresh.

"I have to work overtime again tonight. I'm so annoyed." This iced American coffee smells a bit sour and bitter, a flavor unique to office workers.

There was also the lady owner of a flower shop who was opening a shop on the corner. She had several different smells on her body. One of the stronger smells came from her partner, the taller and stronger dog who was cleaning in the back.

There was also a lighter smell, coming from her belly.

When Qiao Song passed by the flower shop, he saw her slightly arched belly, which was pregnant with a new puppy.

It's so weird.

New life.

A variety of different families.

After her sense of smell, hearing and five senses were fully enhanced, she felt that this city was even stranger.

As Qiao Song walked, she slowly started to run, all the way to the city gate, and found the place she had always wanted to go.

The layout here was very similar to the entrance to the Zootopia where she had driven to. She even remembered the place where she filled out the form.

Qiao Song was stopped by five or six layers of metal isolation nets that looked like screen windows.

She saw the ubiquitous trash can robots, which still had friendly smiles on their faces and asked Qiao Song: "Hello, ma'am, is there anything I can help you with?"

Qiao Song pointed at the door and said, "I want to go outside the city. Do I need any procedures or a pass?"

The smiling expression on the robot's face did not change at all.

"No formalities are required, but only the regional manager, the dog, can leave through this door."

Qiao Song raised his eyebrows: "He's the only one who can go out? Then why build such a big door? Wouldn't it be better to build it directly in his office?"

The robot didn't hear her mocking tone, and replied in a cute mechanical voice: "This is the Dog Territory. Every resident in the Dog Territory could be Lord Dog. When he comes over, the door will open automatically."

The Dog can transform into any dog ​​at any time.

Qiao Song took a deep breath. In this case, her previous plan to find a Doberman was wrong.

Where would Gao Bin be? Would she need to find and kill him before this test would end?

Only the dog can go out...

Qiao Song looked at this garbage robot and suddenly asked: "Can you give me a map?"

The little robot really took the initiative to ask her: "Which area and what kind of map do you need?"

Qiao Song: "Can I have a map outside the city?"

"No, the outside world is not in our system database."

"Okay, then I want a city map of the Dog District of Zootopia, preferably one that shows rivers and greenery."

The unpretentious trash can robot suddenly emitted several blue-green lights in front of it, and then quickly 3D printed a foldable map in the air.

"Here you go."

Qiao Song took the picture and did not realize that the robot was asking her for payment.

"free?"

"It's free*(^o^)/*."

Just as she was about to leave with a frown on her face, the robot took out a broom from its belly and prepared to start cleaning. Suddenly, it said:

"Dear guest, some public facilities and services in Zootopia are free of charge. We sincerely hope that you will like this place and be willing to become a member of it. We wish you a smooth sightseeing today."

These meaningful words made Qiao Song feel a long-lost chill.

She had not found any surveillance cameras in Tangyuan's home before, and she rarely saw surveillance cameras on the streets, but these ubiquitous robots that cleaned diligently were like the eyes of something, watching all the movements in the city.

It's not that they don't recognize the new unfamiliar faces, but they don't mind.

When guests come to Zootopia, it will make Zootopia stronger.

They will eventually become residents.

Qiao Song took the map and went to another destination.

The map the robot gave her was very strange. It was a river that ran through the entire Dog City area. It was like a tree that never stopped growing. Each branch was changing, but the main stream stayed in one area most of the time.

It’s Central Park, which is where the dogs came to pick up humans recently.

When Qiao Song walked into the park, he noticed that there seemed to be some subtle changes in his body. Sure enough, he saw that the dog hair on his arms had become lighter.

She decisively took out the canned meat that had been packed in a plastic bag from her pocket and found a corner.

After breathing hard into the bag for several minutes, he finally stabilized.

Qiao Song was so disgusted by the canned meat that his face turned blue. He sealed the ziplock bag again and put it back in his pocket.

"Wow, this is the first time I've seen people put canned food in a plastic bag during an outing."

A slightly ambiguous voice came from the side.

Qiao Song turned around sharply, but did not notice the other person approaching at the first moment.

She saw a husky who was also holding a map and looking at her with a show-off look on his face.

"The weather is so nice today, perfect for an autumn outing. Do you want to team up and go in? I heard this park is very big."

The husky's blue eyes fell on Qiao Song's ears: "A beautiful Charlie Spaniel lady like you should be careful not to be bullied by some large dogs in the park."

Qiao Song looked the Husky up and down, left him there without saying a word, and walked away.

"Hey, dog, why are you so ungrateful?" The Husky quickly followed.

Qiao Song walked into the lush park, walking very fast, obviously trying to shake off the dog behind him, but the dog stuck to him like a piece of chewing gum.

He kept asking me if I wanted to cooperate with him, if I wanted to explore the innermost part of the park together, and if I wanted to see the river too...

Qiao Song slammed on the brakes and looked around quickly. When he realized that he was already remote enough, he turned around and quickly caught the dog and subdued it in just ten minutes.

Although she cannot use various props and skills, this does not prevent her from training the dog.

And one thing that is very convenient after prohibiting the use of skills is that you no longer have to worry about the strange and unpredictable abilities of unfamiliar players.

It was a pure fight. Qiao Song lived up to her name as a beagle. The Husky did nothing but howl and talk back at her the whole time. For a while, it was unilaterally suppressed.

"That's unscientific. I'm a big dog. How can a small dog like you be so strong?!"

Qiao Song didn't waste time talking to him: "Don't pretend with me, you are a player, right? When did you come in?"

The husky blinked and tried to argue for a while, but Qiao Song directly exposed him: "The clothes, pants and shoes you are wearing are from three different dogs, and you happen to have only three smells. Puppies are territorial creatures and don't like their clothes to smell like other dogs. You are not a local dog."

The husky's eyes widened, and he sniffed himself a few more times without giving up: "Just because of this? I just like to wear other dogs' clothes, right?"

Qiao Song picked up a few yellow, tough, dried willow branches and used the pig-binding method on the Husky: "Shouldn't you first ask me what a player is?"

The husky was stunned for a second, and soon realized that he was tied up with his legs up in the air: "Let's talk it out nicely. We are all compatriots. In such a dangerous place, shouldn't we help each other?"

Qiao Song sneered: "There is only one position for the Dog, you and I are competitors."

The husky, who was tied up like a pig, swallowed his saliva and said, "How about this, we can exchange some information appropriately. Even if it's not for the position of the dog, at least we can survive. I don't want to stay in this city as a dog for the rest of my life."

Qiao Song had no intention of untying the willow branches for him: "Tell me what you know first, and I'll consider whether to push you into the river later."

She smiled indifferently: "I am just planning to look for that river. It would be even better if I could bring someone to verify the effect of the river water."

The Husky didn't expect this guy to be serious.

He struggled a few times, but he didn't know what was wrong with the broken willow branch, nor how the sister had tied it. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get it free. In the end, he had to give up and said with an apologetic smile:

"Okay, okay, I'll go first. I'll go first."

Qiao Song crossed his arms indifferently and said, "Don't tell me what I know. If you are not valuable enough, I can always leave you here to fend for yourself. By then, even if the residents here do nothing, you will soon become a member of this city."

Turned into a dog, had its memory replaced without any awareness, and stayed here forever.

Thinking of that future, Husky couldn't help but take a deep breath, then slowly restrained his expression and said seriously: "In the Zootopia copy, there are two cities, one positive and one negative. The one we are in now is the Zootopia in the mirror world."

Qiao Song looked at him and finally smiled: "Congratulations, you gave me a useless piece of information."

Confident Husky:?

"No, no, no, ahhhh, how come you even know this? Let me think about it again. Give me another chance!!!"

Without saying anything, Qiao Song dragged the Husky pig towards a certain direction, which was the center of the lake.

According to the map Qiao Song obtained, the center of the park is not an artificial lake but an area where a strange underground river runs through.

When Qiao Song deliberately led the way just now, he had already confirmed the direction.

What she said before was not entirely a threat, she would not leave any room for her competitors.

The Husky felt the strength of Qiao Song's grip on him and was almost certain that she was serious.

"Don't get excited!!! I have something else. Right! The Dog is currently fighting an invasion war with the Ox, and the Tiger is fighting the Rooster and the Horse at the same time. Both the Dog and the Tiger are about to win!

Do you know what this means? The territory of the Dog is expanding. We are now trapped in this mirror world and cannot get out. There is no specific reminder to pass the level, so we will only be trapped to death. The bigger the city, the stronger the brainwashing of the residents. We will soon lose our memories of the real world and become new family members in a family!

But I know a way to pass the level. Just find the dog and kill him. I happen to have a dog friend who knows where the dog is in the animal city..."

Qiao Song relaxed his grip slightly after hearing the first half, but when he heard the end, he grabbed his neck:

"Don't try to be sneaky. Even the garbage cleaning robots in the city may not know the whereabouts of the dog. How do you, a human, know it? You even wear three different smells of clothes when you go out. If you really have such a friend, wouldn't he remind you?"

Qiao Song was moving forward with a dog, and surprisingly her speed was not slow at all. She soon saw the end of the journey. The strange sound of the river and the slightly eerie crackling sound of burning wood were heard.

The place where she is now happens to be a forest.

Even during the day, you can still see dog residents walking and wandering here.

Since the citizens first discovered the little man crawling out of the lake, they have developed the habit of "going to the sea to pick up people".

The same lakes and puddles are everywhere in this Zootopia world. Dogs may never go into the water, but this does not stop them from being curious about the little people crawling out of the underwater world.

These hairless races, which are different from them, seem to have some inexplicable magic that makes people want to take them home and raise them.

Seeing that Qiao Song was still unmoved, Haqishi was frightened and even a little angry:

"I've said so much, do you still want to push me into this? You and I may be the only two living people in the whole city! Those dogs eat canned food and dog food from the factory every day. Their daily food is aggravating their mutation and maintaining this state until they die. Do you really want to be a dog here for the rest of your life?"

Qiao Song looked at several adult dogs near the observation deck in the distance and smelled a strange, burning smell.

"I can hold off pushing you down for now." She looked at the husky in her arms. "Lend me some dog hair."

After saying that, without waiting for the other party to react, he directly plucked a handful of dog hair, rolled it into a ball, and threw it into the lake.

The light dog hair quickly turned into marshmallows in the water, and even if it floated on the water surface, it was quickly melted.

Qiao Song threw another stone in. With a splash, the stone disappeared and seemed to have sunk to the bottom.

The Husky was initially shocked by the corrosiveness of the lake water, but soon became confused: "It's ok for you to pull my hair, but what's the point of throwing stones?"

"Don't confuse my hearing with you. Stones disappear when they get into water, but hair doesn't. It melts."

This time, Qiao Song picked up some very small stones, and without mercy, he pulled off a lot of the Husky's hair, then packed up some gravel and threw it away.

This time the stone fell slower, and Qiao Song saw clearly that the stone was slowly becoming transparent and the dog hair was melting.

Become transparent?

The husky, clinging to the floor like a caterpillar, was actually in the mood to complain: "Is the stone in the river preparing to cross?"

Qiao Song looked down at him, and the Husky shrank his neck, fearing that he would really be thrown down for the experiment.

"You are quite right."

Husky: "What's right?"

Qiao Song actually raised his foot and kicked him down!

All the hair on Huqis' body was about to explode. He struggled hard, his round dark-blue pupils almost trembled, and when he was about to fall into the water, his falling trend slowed down.

He felt like he was suspended in mid-air, his tail already touching the piercing dark water of the lake.

Qiao Song hooked the tree trunk with one hand and grabbed the wicker branches that tied the husky with the other.

"Move your tail and feet."

The nonchalant look on Husky's face almost completely disappeared. His heart was pounding and he cursed at least a dozen times, "You crazy!"

This guy is hanging him here as an experimental specimen!

"Don't be afraid."

With Qiao Song's gentle voice and adorable King Charles face, it's not an exaggeration to call her a princess dog in a cartoon.

"I won't really throw you in. You may not tell the truth, but the river water and your tail will stay together honestly. A tail or a whole person, it's your choice."

The Husky chose the tail.

He felt like he was in an ice cellar.

Since he became a dog, he quickly adapted to the tail that he didn't have before, as if the tail was born on his butt.

Now, an inexplicable panic gripped him.

Qiao Song kept observing his expression until he saw the Husky, who was ready to die and even had a bit of hatred, suddenly widened his eyes and looked towards the center of the lake, which was the deepest part where the River of Life and Death overlapped with the park lake.

"Wife...? Why are you here?"

The crying Husky stopped struggling and even began to sway in that direction on its own initiative.

Like an amnesiac widower who had encountered a water ghost, all the calculating expressions on his face disappeared, and he jumped into the lake on his own initiative.

Qiao Song decisively pulled the person back. When she was about to ask the Husky what it saw, suddenly, the sound of biological activity came from the center of the silent lake.

Qiao Song realized something was wrong, and when she looked up, she only saw a golden dragon.

The golden shadow flashed by, and then the entire lake in the park, including the location where the main river passed on the map provided by the robot, disappeared.

[Ding——Emergency, Chen dragon invasion——Would the player like to exit the zodiac challenge mode?]

Qiao Song:?

So, you can quit?

at the same time.

Game area.

Bai You, who worked hard to whip three spiders to integrate and transform the haunted house maze, found that the three little spiders suddenly began to crawl all over the ground at a certain moment, looking extremely anxious.

"What's wrong with you? Did Qiao Song not pay you or did he find a new lover? Why are you so anxious that you want to tap dance with all your eight legs?"

The slender-legged spider looked worried: "We can't sense the location of the shrine."

Big Head was silent for a moment: "It's not that we can't sense it at all, but there's a layer of mist between us. We have lost contact with Boss Qiao."

Bai You was startled, but soon realized: "She's so fast, it's only been a few hours and she's already in."

Spider-Man and Bai You have been together the longest, and they have a pretty good relationship: "What do you mean? Where did she go?"

Bai You was puzzled: "I heard Qiao Qiao say that you guys came from the Paradise Haunted House. Shouldn't you know? The abandoned area of ​​the third-level copy is a synthetic whole world."

"To some extent, the collection of countless Level 3 replica wreckage can probably form a new backup of Zootopia, but I don't know what it looks like because I haven't been there yet."

The three spiders took a deep breath. "A collection of level 3 backup copies... What was she doing there? Wasn't the last time she made trouble in the river enough? It wasn't enough to burn down the mall, but she also wanted to burn down Zootopia?"

Bai You was puzzled: "What river? What mall fire? Qiao Qiao was also an arsonist?"

"Nothing, nothing..."

The three spiders didn't dare to continue teasing Qiao Song in front of Bai You. They looked at each other and finally could only sigh.

"Then wait until she comes back."

"Will you be affected so much by Qiao Qiao's absence?"

Big Head was silent for a moment before he said, "Not really. The main thing is that when the haunted house opens, players will come in. We will be forced to connect to Boss Qiao Song's sea of ​​consciousness to provide energy support. If she is too far away, the signal will be bad."

"When the time comes, you might be the one to be beaten together with us."

Bai You: ...

Stop saying discouraging things!

"It's okay. You can't run away, but I can."

Three spiders:?

Is this human language?

At the same time, Xiao Baibei also felt that Qiao Song's signal was disconnected.

It was originally just a little bit passive, but suddenly it had a bad feeling. I hope nothing serious will happen to this person?

Suddenly, the edge of the map vibrated, and a guest came to the copy game that it had just barely completed.
