Chapter 71 Rabies Outbreak, Lin Muyan Suspects Mutation Has Occurred
She took out the long-handled net again, and once again considered putting it into the white space, but in the end, she put it into the black space instead.
It's strange. She had tried several times before, and no matter what kind of things were alive or dead, solid or liquid, she couldn't put them into the black space. How come this net can do it?
She tried several more times, but the result was the same. A big question mark appeared in Lin Muyan's mind.
If a gold shovel digs up something without instructions, it can be very confusing, which is a drawback.
But Lin Muyan wasn't in a hurry. She temporarily stored the items in the black space, knowing that if they were useful, they would come in handy sooner or later.
Lin Muyan slept soundly that night, and the rest of the Lin family also slept until dawn. When they woke up in the morning, everyone looked radiant.
Lin's mother prepared a sumptuous breakfast early in the morning, and after breakfast, everyone got busy.
Lin Xiao was assigned by Lin Muyan to the control room on the first basement floor to familiarize himself with the various control systems.
To prevent any fools from trying to get attention, Lin Muyan also asked him to keep an eye on the surveillance cameras.
The safe house is surrounded by a comprehensive surveillance system, including the airspace above it, ensuring that not even a fly can get in.
Lin Xiaonuan was required to do her academic homework. Although the apocalypse was approaching, she couldn't fall behind in her basic knowledge, otherwise she would be a little illiterate in the apocalypse ε=(′ο｀*))).
After finishing her homework, Lin Xiaonuan began to handle the tasks her sister had assigned her: organizing snacks, downloading online courses from fourth grade to twelfth grade, as well as various novels, TV series, movies, variety shows, and so on.
After the doomsday network system collapses, these things will become their source of entertainment and spiritual sustenance.
Today, Mr. and Mrs. Lin's task is to plant crops. They need to plant fresh fruits and vegetables in the empty muddy ground in the yard of the safe house, so as not to waste such good soil.
Lin Muyan told them, "This soil is very special. It can grow some varieties that are not easy to grow and can bear fruit without much care."
Lin Muyan left some seeds in the storage room, since they wouldn't take up much space.
Lin's parents carefully selected and planned to plant some tomatoes, cherries, spices such as small chili peppers, scallions, and garlic, as well as chives that could be harvested and eaten in batches.
Seeing that her family members were all busy, Lin Muyan didn't stay idle either, and drove off in her pickup truck.
These past few days, she has been urging her family to go out less, but there is one more thing on her mind that she must go out for a trip.
Just two days ago, she happened to see a post online that reported a sudden outbreak of rabies in a certain area.
It was later confirmed that a stray dog at an animal shelter was infected with rabies, which led to the infection of many other stray dogs at the shelter.
Due to inadequate supervision, a rabid stray dog escaped and roamed around, eventually developing the disease and causing considerable chaos.
Although the situation has been brought under control and the hype has been suppressed, Lin Muyan's sixth sense tells her that something is amiss.
The accident happened in a district bordering a neighboring city of S, which is an hour's drive away.
The shelter was sealed off, and far fewer people came and went.
Just as Lin Muyan was about to walk towards the shelter, an old woman walked out from the side.
"Girl, don't go there, don't go there, leave this place quickly."
Lin Muyan turned and walked up to the old woman, asking curiously:
"Auntie, do you know what's going on here? I heard you can adopt stray dogs here."
Upon hearing this, the old woman waved her hands repeatedly.
"No, no, the dogs here have all been dealt with. They had rabies and killed several people. You must be from out of town. Leave here immediately."
Lin Muyan was surprised that someone had been bitten to death; the report hadn't mentioned it.
After the old woman finished speaking, she ran away in fear.
Lin Muyan was worrying about how to investigate and confirm her suspicions when a motorcycle taxi driver stopped in front of her and said in a low voice:
"Young lady, do you want to buy a dog? I have several purebreds at home, and I'll give you a discount."
Lin Muyan raised an eyebrow at the middle-aged man in front of her. He had shifty eyes and didn't look like a good person.
Where did you get your dog?
"Of course, they're home-bred, guaranteed authentic and pure. We don't sell skewers."
Lin Muyan saw through it but didn't say anything. She followed the uncle to his dog kennel, which was a cement building with iron fences. The environment was very ordinary, and it smelled strongly of dogs.
Because each dog had a muzzle to prevent biting, there was no scene of the dogs barking wildly.
The uncle pointed at a cage of puppies with a smug look on his face.
"Young lady, our pet dogs are all show-quality. They'd easily fetch tens of thousands at a pet store. How about it, how many do you want to buy?"
Lin Muyan: ...
She glanced at the dachshund, husky, corgi, and curly-haired taiji the uncle had mentioned, and fell into deep suspicion.
They're cute, and they're really tangled, especially since they're all short-legged.
Is this guy trying to rub her IQ on the floor, or does he think she looks easy to fool?
[Haha, so this is what they call authentic and pure? No skewers? Oh my god, I'm laughing so hard! It's all skewers! This uncle is hilarious!]
[However, I believe these were definitely bred by that uncle. What reputable kennel would breed them like that? It's outrageous! Is Lin Muyan just trying to buy a few guard dogs? That's it?]
[I doubt she's here to buy a dog. She seemed to be paying close attention to a news report about rabies a couple of days ago, and the incident occurred at the shelter we just saw. I guess she suspects the mutation has already begun.]
"That's impossible. The mutations only started appearing a month after the apocalypse, and even later in S City. It's still early; how could mutations have appeared yet?"
Lin Muyan's eyes quickly scanned the barrage of comments, a sense of suspicion creeping into her heart.
Even the commenters don't know everything. When the mutation breaks out on a large scale, there may have already been signs in some inconspicuous corners, but no one has noticed them.
Since we're already here, we should at least see it for ourselves.
Lin Muyan interrupted the uncle's boasting and got straight to the point.
"Take me to see the dog you rescued from that shelter. I don't need this small breed."
The uncle was taken aback, a strange expression appearing on his face. It was truly astonishing; this young girl was not so easily fooled after all.
"Come with me."
The uncle led Lin Muyan to the innermost room of the dog farm. Through the iron fence, dozens of dogs were kept inside, mostly mixed breeds, but there were also purebred dogs like Samoyeds and Dobermans.
Lin Muyan scanned the dogs one by one, her gaze suddenly settling on a Baka dog.
This is a medium-sized adult yellow Shiba Inu with a clear, silly look in its eyes. It's cute and funny.
However, Lin Muyan paid attention to it not because of its soft fur, good appearance, or its ability to tilt its head.
It was because the moment their eyes met, the long-handled net lying in the black space stood up on its own!
