When the Husky's noble "King of Intelligence" talent bloodline skill awakens into "Ice and Snow Leader," it is indeed cool enough to make everyone who sees the Leader Husky look on in awe.
Those firm, wise, ice-blue eyes, the finest silver-grey satin fur, the upright, pointed, fluffy ears, and the agile limbs—every feature of the Husky exudes an air of wealth and excellence.
The excellent husky, Fugui, turned to look at Xie Tianlang, who was staring at him in a daze, and twitched its pointed ears: "Are you dumbfounded? Hurry up and come with me to find the little brother."
After regaining his senses, Xie Tianlang chuckled, then closed his eyes and mobilized the power within his body that he had actively suppressed after being infected by gene fragments.
Now that his Yuanyuan has become the most handsome husky, he naturally wants to run and gallop together in this icy and snowy world.
About three minutes later, the infected gene fragments gradually spread throughout Xie Tianlang's body, lengthening his limbs, changing his body, and eventually transforming him from a human into a wild wolf with black and gray fur, even larger than the leader Ha Fugui.
Xie Tian "Wolf" was very satisfied with his transformed physique and also gave himself a thumbs up for retaining his transformation skill.
His decision at the time was indeed correct; otherwise, he wouldn't have had the chance to run wildly in the snow with his beloved Hafugui.
The two's clothes were stored in the leader Ha Fugui's space. The temperature dropped, and the husky's intelligence returned to its peak. It would no longer make the fatal mistakes that caused the husky to lose its intelligence before, such as not wanting to turn back or not remembering that it had a personal space.
Amidst the howling wind and blizzard, Xie Tianlang and their leader, Ha Fugui, ran freely.
What is unbearable for humans—the frigid temperatures and blizzards that make it almost impossible to move—is not an obstacle for Siberian sled dogs and mutated wolves, who are born in extremely cold environments; rather, it is like fish swimming in the ocean.
"Awoo awoo awoo~"
The leader, Ha Fugui, howled several times with great pleasure, unaware of how his wolf-like howl made many people tremble even more.
But there was a real wolf next to him, and the wolf's howl was even more frightening than his.
So Chief Hafugui didn’t care about such trivial matters at all. What was important now was to find sled dogs that could run in the snow and ice like him and to form his sled running team!
His bark also carried the call of his bloodline; he believed that as long as the other sled dogs heard his call, they would respond to him!
But half an hour passed, and the leader, Ha Fugui, had led his wolves around almost half of Longhu Commercial Plaza, yet they still hadn't heard any response from the other dogs.
I finally managed to find a Samoyed by its sense of smell, only to find that the dog was being held tightly by its owner for warmth. Even through the window, you could see the Samoyed's unwavering determination to live and die with its owner.
Leader Ha Fugui: "...Tsk."
Another dog that's fallen into the trap of human kindness.
They have no dignity or pride as Siberian Huskies!
So, through the glass window, the leader, Ha Fugui, gave the Samoyed a particularly cold-blooded snort, and then turned and left.
Unable to find his destined underlings for the time being, leader Ha Fugui decided to first collect the resources he could find in the surrounding area.
"Connect with Song Sanchuan and ask him to point out the nearest hardware, machinery, medicine, and medical supplies shops when he has time."
At this moment, both the silver-gray husky and the black-gray wolf had wristwatch-like communication devices hanging around their necks. These were specially prepared by the government for the wealthy children who could transform.
However, after learning that Xie Tianlang had retained a fragment of his genes that allowed him to transform into a wolf, Xie Tianlang was given one as well.
The large, dark gray wolf pointed its paws at the communicator on its neck, and Song Sanchuan's voice rang out.
Without Xie Tianlang even having to say a word, Song Sanchuan had already told Gou Fugui and Xie Tianlang the locations of the useful shops he had found.
"There are only these three pharmacies and two hardware stores in this commercial area. If you want anything else, you'll have to go to a large supermarket."
"It's just that supermarkets are either packed with people or cold, dark places without electricity or lighting. In the end, it's up to you to choose."
Leader Ha Fugui nodded to indicate that he understood, and then he and Xie Tianlang went directly to the three pharmacies that Song Sanchuan had mentioned earlier.
However, none of the three pharmacies had their power or heating cut off, and clever people had already targeted pharmacies as places where life-saving medicines could be provided, so each of the three pharmacies was packed with people.
Even if the two leaders, Ha Fugui and Xie Tianlang, were to revert to their human forms, they might not be able to obtain even a single box of medicine from those watchful and wary individuals.
No one knows when the blizzard will stop, so everyone will do their best to protect these medicines, just as they would protect their own lives.
The leader, Ha Fugui, looked at the reflection of people huddled together for warmth in the dimly lit window, pressed his furry paws on the snow, swept the snow off his bushy tail, and turned to leave.
"Aren't you going in?"
Xie Tianlang followed beside him.
Leader Ha Fugui shook his head, and shook off the snow that had fallen on him like a washing machine: "I still have enough medicine in my space. Right now, those people in these stores need the medicine more than we do. Let's leave it for them."
Even if all the medicine is left behind, those people may not survive in the future, but at least they are alive now, and Gou Fugui hopes that these people can live longer.
"Let's first go to the hardware store and the 4S store to see if anyone is there. If not, we'll bring back some tools and materials. If someone is there, we'll go directly to the area near the shopping mall where the power supply is cut off."
Xie Tianlang nodded in agreement with Chief Ha Fugui's decision, "There should be some vacant shops nearby."
The two hardware stores and the 4S store next to them that Song Sanchuan mentioned still had heating and electricity supply, so there were still pedestrians and staff inside taking shelter from the blizzard.
Although there weren't as many people as in a pharmacy, it wasn't to the point where a husky and a wolf could come and go as they pleased, or two people could go in and collect materials at will.
So in the end, the leaders Ha Fugui and Xie Tianlang still arrived at the large shopping mall in the square where they had left that afternoon.
This is the dark, unlit section of Longhu Plaza that the wealthy and beautiful woman sees from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the 30th floor.
It's likely that the heating and power supply in this area malfunctioned due to the sudden drop in temperature and blizzard.
However, in such a heavy snowstorm, it is virtually impossible to send people to repair the power lines and heating.
It was past ten o'clock at night, and the sky should have been pitch black. But the white snow covering the earth gave the dark world a touch of brightness that didn't seem like night.
The sky was like dawn, a cool gray-blue, and even the snow wasn't pure white, tinged with the darkness of night.
In the snow pit in front of the mall entrance, the leaders Ha Fugui and Xie Tianlang huddled together:
"I have a feeling there are still quite a few people inside who heard the noise. What do you think?"
“I heard the noise too. But I don’t think there are many people, and most of them are probably concentrated in the supermarket area on the first floor and basement.”
"Have these people been here the whole time? The power and heating have been cut off, how have they managed to stay here?"
"Why not? Didn't you smell fire? The people who stayed here probably used the lighters in the supermarket to find some accelerants and set the supermarket on fire."
Setting fire in a supermarket is something that is absolutely forbidden, and could even lead to being arrested and taken to the police station for ideological education.
However, in situations where extreme weather threatens human lives, as long as no one is killed or someone just lights a fire to warm themselves, even if the police come, at most they will make the person pay for the damaged items later.
But after that, there probably won't be any chance to discuss compensation again.
"Are we still going in here?"
Xie Tianlang and their leader, Ha Fugui, came here heading towards the supermarket on the first floor. It was clear that people were already gathered at the supermarket entrance and in the mall's activity hall on the first floor. The supermarket's supplies were definitely being guarded; if they went there, they would be discovered.
The leader, Ha Fugui, stared at the shopping mall in front of him with his icy blue eyes for a moment. Suddenly, his ears twitched, and he straightened up to look at the third and fourth floors of the mall. His fluffy tail, which was hanging down, flicked happily.
"Go in! I heard my brother's cries for help and calls for help. Also, everyone here has already gathered on the first floor and basement level of the mall, so there's almost no one left on the second floor and above."
At least the second and third floors have all sorts of clothes and some small shops, while the fourth and fifth floors are restaurants and appliance/furniture sections. Although the movie theater itself isn't very useful, the sofa seats and cushions make it worth a visit.
The big wolf next to the handsome husky tugged at his large mouth: "You're not thinking of tearing up the movie theater seats, are you?"
Even if it's just to find something warm, it doesn't have to be this extreme!
Fugui the husky was taken aback at first, then suddenly nodded: "Great idea! I think it's feasible!"
Xie the Big Bad Wolf: "..." No, I don't think it's feasible!
Regardless, the leader Ha Fugui and Xie Da Huilang still entered the mall.
Of course, we didn't enter through the main entrance, because the main entrance of the mall, like the main entrance of the Longhu Hotel, was blocked by heavy snow. The snow was piled up to a meter high and the door was frozen shut, making it very difficult to open.
Wolf and Ha circled the mall and finally spotted an open window at the back, probably on the second floor.
However, there was a transport truck parked under this window. The goods on the truck had not yet been unloaded, and the entire truck body was mostly buried. When the leader Ha Fugui and Xie Da Huilang jumped onto the truck at the same time, they could vaguely see the messy "plum blossom" prints on the truck bed.
Leader Ha Fugui: "I told you my little brothers are waiting for me to save them."
Xie the Big Bad Wolf: "...Hmm."
Well, the leader Ha Fugui's intelligence has returned, but for some reason he's gained a somewhat chuunibyou (delusional)... boss-like feeling.
He's still handsome, but that sudden appearance of the leader's heart made the wolf a little embarrassed.
They climbed up from the crates of the big truck.
The truck's cargo box, along with the snow and the raised railing just below the window, allowed Husky Fugui and Xie Dahuilang to easily and smoothly enter through the open window on the second floor.
This location... is the restroom on the second floor.
Indeed, bathrooms are always the best places to tamper with things and hide filth, no matter where they are, in every sense of the word.
After jumping out of the bathroom, the leader, Ha Fugui, walked around shaking his paws. Finally, he did a full-automatic dog shake to shake off all the snow and snow water that hadn't yet gotten into his fur.
Ha Fugui started swinging the whip and started having fun. He wanted to swing it a second time after the first swing, and a third time after the second swing, until Xie Tianlang pressed his head down with his wolf paw. Suddenly, a childlike thought popped into Ha Fugui's head and he stiffened for a moment. Then he immediately straightened his head, stood up straight, and walked forward with a tall and upright posture.
The second floor features high-end women's clothing, and the third floor features high-end men's clothing.
Under the cover of night, leader Ha Fugui and Xie Tianlang circled the second floor. Both wolves and Ha possessed night vision, and the darkness could not obstruct their view.
So they found that the clothes in the high-end boutiques on the second floor had been moved and taken, obviously because it was too cold and people had to wear more clothes to keep warm.
However, since it was only the first day of heavy snow, not many people had rummaged through the area. After thinking about it, the leader, Ha Fugui, decided to use the supplies to stock up on about thirty down jackets, snow boots, hats, and scarves from the mall, and didn't take the rest with him.
If the people below haven't left yet, they will definitely need more clothes to keep warm as the temperature drops.
However, on the third floor, in the men's clothing section, leader Ha Fugui stocked up on two hundred down jackets, thermal underwear and socks, as well as thirty pairs of various outdoor cold-weather sports shoes. After all, the four of them might need to add layers of clothing later, and he and Xie Tianlang would have to openly take these clothes back, so they couldn't have too few.
However, in the shop where he stockpiled goods, the leader Ha Fugui still kept a small piece of gold as a fee for supplies, which was very principled.
Although there was no longer any order after that, I still felt a little guilty taking too much.
Later, in a corner of the men's clothing section on the third floor, there was an outdoor sports area. In order to openly increase their supplies, Xie Tianlang and Gou Fugui took away four sleeping bags, a few climbing ropes, and some sports skateboards and metal buckles that Song Sanchuan could use to modify the sled.
The next floor above is the fourth floor, which includes a general clothing section, home furnishings, an electronics supermarket, and restaurants.
The restaurants on the fourth floor were deserted, but the food in the kitchen showed signs of having been tampered with.
The leader of the electronics supermarket, Ha Fugui, took eight hair dryers without hesitation, took several electric fans at Song Sanchuan's request, and took eight metal thermos cups at Si Wuyai's request. Ha Fugui also wanted to take a drone, but Xie Tianlang vetoed it.
"Not to mention that you have drones in your space, you can't use them in snowy weather anyway, so Song Sanchuan's improved mechanical little tit is better."
The leader, Ha Fugui, was slightly resentful, but ultimately turned and left.
The bedding area is a key patrol zone for the leaders, Fa Fugui and Xie Tianlang. After all, if they had any underlings, they would most likely retreat to their warm beds and blankets here.
The bedding here was probably the first thing the survivors visited. Thick down comforters, soft silk comforters, and pillows were all snatched up and taken away. Even the mattresses were taken away, leaving only hard beds.
There wasn't a single small animal here looking for warmth.
This made the leader, Ha Fugui, stand in this area for quite a while, and even Xie Da Huilang could sense his gloom and displeasure.
"We haven't seen the fifth floor yet. Maybe all the cats and dogs are hiding next to the gas stove in the restaurant on the fifth floor to keep warm."
The leader, Ha Fugui, twitched his ears and pushed the big gray wolf aside with his paw.
He actually thought there was another place where it was easier to hide from cats and dogs than the gas stove in the restaurant.
Then, after collecting several spare gas canisters and kitchen glass bottles on the fifth floor, the leader, Ha Fugui, finally found his long-awaited "sled brothers" in the large private room of the movie theater on the fifth floor—
There were about twenty stray animals, huddled together like moviegoers on the thick, warm movie sofa.
However, compared to one person occupying one movie seat, these stray animals gathered together were probably crammed into the same movie sofa in twos and threes according to their size.
They even have a great sense of matching:
The largest dogs, each one big enough not to fall through the gap, lay at the very back, while two or three cats or puppies huddled together against the big dogs' bellies. The stray cats and dogs in the city had come together to find a way to survive in the face of natural disaster.
Gou Fugui even saw the three large blankets covering the animals.
This suggests that there must be a relatively intelligent "leader" among these stray cats and dogs.
And the leader, Hafugui, quickly identified the "leader" of this group of stray cats and dogs—
Hey, isn't that surprising?
The leader of this group of stray cats and dogs is not a German Shepherd, nor a Border Collie with superior intelligence, nor even a gentle and brave Golden Retriever. The leader of this group of stray animals is actually an Alaskan Malamute!
Ha! Another silly sled dog!!
So, were the intelligence of the three sled dogs really sealed by the high temperature?
However, at least this abandoned, large Alaskan Malamute, besides exhibiting intelligence far superior to that of Big Fool, also proved that it was not a healthy Big Fool, with its blind right eye and bald patches on its body.
Even the leader, Hafugui, saw hatred and destruction in its eyes.
Well, this is a bit tricky.
If he wants to take away this group of stray dogs, mostly large dogs and only a few cats, he'll probably need a "battle between leaders".
Clearly, the Alaskan Malamute opposite had also noticed this, and it crouched down slightly, ready to fight the husky in front of it and the wolf that was even bigger than the husky, or even a little bigger.
Alaska felt it probably wouldn't be able to win this battle.
But even if it loses, it will definitely drag this husky down with it!
Alaska was ready for battle, but it never expected that its opponents, who were all known for their martial spirit, would only use secret weapons in their attack—
Suddenly, the husky, with its exceptionally beautiful fur and radiating human warmth, swung its paw! And there appeared before it a pile of large, seemingly steaming, and fragrant chunks of meat!
Next to the chunks of meat was a tiny, overly warm metal stove!
The warmth of the small stove combined with the aroma of meat was the most deadly and precise attack and temptation for these hungry and cold stray animals. It's not that the leader, Ha Fugui, is bragging, but he can be sure that he saw the heads of these twenty-odd cats and dogs suddenly straighten up and their bright eyes the moment he took out the food!
The leader, Ha Fugui, stomped his paw on the dozens of large chunks of meat in front of him: "Aww! Follow me, and you'll get meat to eat! There's even a small stove to roast them!"
"Awooo! Did you hear me? Follow me and you'll get meat! Fight me and you won't get any meat! The smart ones know what he'll do, right?!"
The silver-gray husky raised its head, its bright blue eyes staring straight at the Alaskan Malamute.
After being abused and abandoned, the Alaskan wandered for a long time, long enough that he could understand human speech.
Although it didn't understand why the husky in front of it could speak human language, it knew that either it would get to eat meat by following the husky, or it and the husky would both suffer heavy losses...
Is there even a need to choose?
Alaska, whose body wasn't particularly strong, stiffened for a few seconds before resolutely walking up to the chief, Hafugui, and then lowering his large head and whimpering twice.
"Awoo!" Boss!
Then all twenty-odd cats and dogs stood up and jumped down, meowing and howling at their leader, Ha Fugui.
"Meow/Awoo!"
Big boss!!
Having finally obtained the leader of his underlings, Ha Fugui, with a particularly handsome and stylish wave of his paw, let out a howl:
"Eat meat! Then I'll take you all galloping across this snowy landscape!!"
If they didn't have meat stuffed in their mouths, these twenty-nine cats and dogs would have joined their newly recognized leader in howling at the moon.
While they were eating meat, Husky Fugui counted them: there were 29 cats and dogs, of which only 9 were cats.
Of the remaining twenty dogs, sixteen are large breeds, and ten of those large breeds are the three most hardy sled dogs.
It's clear how unfriendly cold weather is to cats, and not so good for dogs that can't tolerate the cold either.
Those who can live relatively comfortably are the three sled dogs and the one with the thickest fur.
Even so, the remaining homeless kids were still skinny and pitiful.
But it doesn't matter. From today onwards, these wandering underlings will have an official position and can follow their leader, Boss Ha, to live a life of comfort and hard work until the end!
So, around midnight, when the waiter who led Gou Fugui and Xie Tianlang and Manager Zhou, who had heard the report, both believed that the two people who went out would not return, Manager Zhou, who was very conscientious and responsible, couldn't help but go to the second-floor restroom to take one last look. The moment he opened the restroom door, he was not only hit in the face by a blast of cold wind and snow.
At the same time, what also made him dizzy and disoriented were the cat and dog sled team members who jumped in through the windows one by one... who had been recruited.
Dozens of pairs of eyes, both human and non-human, met each other.
Manager Zhou: "..."
He must have opened the bathroom door wrong!!!
