Chapter 250 Borrowing a Dog
Ma Qianqian stood there with her eyes wide open.
She looked at the group of majestic dogs in front of her, her heart filled with shock and surprise.
"Wow!" Her voice was full of admiration and envy, and countless little stars twinkled in her eyes, like the illuminated night sky.
The group of big dogs in front of them stared at Lan Ximeng and Ma Xixi quietly. Their eyes were as sharp as torches, staring straight at them, making people feel a little scared. However, if you look closely, you will find that although these big dogs look majestic, their tails are constantly shaking at such a fast speed that they seem to be shaking to the sky.
This cute contrast made Lan Ximeng and Ma Xixi couldn't help laughing. They realized that although these big dogs looked majestic, they were actually gentle "big babies".
"Bubble, Niu Niu, Coco..." Lele stood in front of the big dogs, and her clear voice echoed in the backyard. She began to call out the names of these big dogs one by one. Every time she called a name, a big dog would bark happily in response to Lele's call.
"Le, Le!" A deep voice sounded in the backyard, and then a strong man with a beard walked over from a distance.
He has a sturdy build, with well-defined muscles, and every step he takes seems extremely powerful. When he saw Lan Ximeng and Ma Xixi standing there, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
After he confirmed that the two were not in danger, he turned his gaze to Lele, with a somewhat fierce look in his eyes, as if he wanted to teach her a lesson.
"Dad~Dad~" Lele saw his father coming over and immediately realized that his father was angry.
Dad said he couldn't bring anyone over to the backyard. She was so dazzled by her sister's beauty that she forgot about it.
She walked up to him, took the big man's hand, her eyes full of coquettishness: "Sister has something to talk to you about." As she spoke, she looked at her father with her big, fluttering eyes, with a hint of innocence and expectation in them.
When Lele's father was looked at like that, the words of accusation he had prepared were instantly stuck in his throat and he couldn't utter them.
He sighed, shook his head helplessly and said, "You!" Then, he used his big hands to rub Lele's head continuously, making her hair messy.
He pulled Lele behind him, raised his head, looked at the two girls in front of him with a serious look, and asked directly: "What do you want from me?"
Lan Ximeng answered without any hesitation, "I wonder if you can rent a dog here?" Her voice was calm, without any hesitation.
Their team urgently needs transportation, but there are no other vehicles available in the base. In this case, she could only think about whether she could use something else instead.
She carefully observed the mutant dogs in front of her. They were basically three meters tall and four to five meters long. They were huge in size and looked very strong. This dog is a mutant and should be able to carry two or three people, perhaps serving as a temporary means of transportation.
Seeing that the adults had something to talk about, Lele walked obediently to the middle of the dogs. She excitedly climbed up and down on the big dogs and had a lot of fun playing with them. These big dogs seemed to feel Lele's happiness as they wagged their tails and played with her.
"Come, let's talk over here." Lele's father took Lan Ximeng and Ma Qixi to the dining table in the backyard and motioned for them to sit down.
He took out two glasses of water from the house, handed them to the two people, and said, "You came suddenly, and I can only offer you water." There was a hint of apology in his voice.
"Thank you, we were too rash." Lan Ximeng and Ma Qianqian took the water but neither drank it. They know that what comes next is the most important.
"You want to rent my dog? Why?" There was a hint of doubt and vigilance in Lele's father's tone.
He had lived here since he was a child. Although he was neither a pirate nor a slave, his life was not easy. He learned how to survive in this difficult environment at an early age, and these "puppies" became his support. He watched these dogs grow up, and they are not only his companions, but also a part of his life.
Although the dogs he raised were all mutant animals with huge bodies and much faster speeds than ordinary dogs, they did not have any other particularly outstanding advantages. These dogs are more like ordinary livestock, just a little bigger, stronger and faster. It is completely different from other mutant animals and has no other special abilities.
"Do you want to borrow my dog to travel?" Lele's father thought about it and quickly understood Lan Ximeng and Ma Qianqian's purpose.
These people had been told long ago that if someone came with unreasonable demands, they could choose not to agree.
But Lele's father knows that these children are students who come here to study and train. Their arrival can not only bring them some economic benefits, but also bring new hope and opportunities.
Moreover, his dogs were often loaned out to the military for missions, so it seemed like a good idea to lend them to these kids as well. After all, these kids, like the troops, are here to complete a mission.
And even if they couldn't protect themselves, his dog could always get himself back home.
Lan Ximeng looked at the computer again, feeling a little anxious. Why haven’t the captain and the others come yet? She was not good at negotiation and felt a little helpless in this situation.
At this moment, the four people who were getting close to the soldiers were completely immersed in their own social activities. They didn't notice Lan Ximeng's anxiety at all, nor did they see the message she sent.
Ma Xixi seemed to notice Lan Ximeng's embarrassment. She smiled slightly and answered first: "Yes, we do need to borrow your dog to continue our journey. I wonder if you have any specific requirements or explanations?" Her voice was gentle and polite, neither showing excessive eagerness nor appearing too tough.
Lele's father gently put down the cup of water in his hand, nodded slightly, and said: "It depends on where you are going and how you treat my dog." There was a hint of caution in his words, but his tone had softened a lot.
Ma Qianqian knew in her heart that this was a signal that Lele's father was willing to communicate further.
Lan Ximeng sat aside, feeling a little uneasy. She placed her hands lightly on her knees, leaned forward slightly, and stared intently at the interaction between Ma Xixi and Lele's father.
She was not good at this kind of negotiation which required flexibility and eloquence, so she could only observe silently from the side.
The conversation between Ma Xixi and Lele's father continued. The two of them spoke back and forth, their voices sometimes high-pitched and sometimes low, full of confrontation and negotiation.
Soon after, Lele's father seemed to think that this condition was quite good. He nodded slightly with a hint of satisfaction in his tone: "Okay, it's settled." Then, he put down the water cup in his hand, cleared his throat, and began to discuss the specific details with them.
Through exchanges, a consensus was gradually reached.
Finally, Lele's father drank a sip of water with satisfaction, and said in a good mood: "Tomorrow there will be an army heading in the same direction as you. You can follow them and maybe you can get their help."
His words carried a hint of kindness and reminder; he knew that although these children were brave, they still needed more support and help in the outside world.
