Chapter 100 Chapter 100
After staying in the space for a while to allow Wangwang to integrate smoothly, Ji Yang went out.
Xie Muzhi had already come out, in a good mood, and was reading the military dog breeding manual he got from the official. When he saw Ji Yang coming out, he reached out and pulled her over to sit on the sofa to read the manual, and asked, "Are they okay?"
"Of course." Ji Yang was very happy. From not being able to eat enough to eating meat directly, Duoli and the others were very happy. They wagged their tails while eating, not at all like the steady military dogs they had just met. After eating, they took the initiative to sit in front of her, looking expectant and ready to go.
Like waiting for work orders.
However, they had just arrived, so Ji Yang let them rest first.
Speaking of work, Ji Yang said, "Didn't you say we should give them things to do? I'm thinking that Xixi and the others will be on the day shift, and Bole and the others will be on the night shift. We can train them to pick up eggs, catch chickens, and catch rabbits in the space. How do you think?"
"Okay." Xie Muchi agreed. As soon as the two entered the house, they discussed the general arrangements. There was no need for them to reproduce yet, so the males and females would be fed separately for the time being. Working dogs needed to work, and it just so happened that both of them had a lot of work to do. Apart from that, they could also do patrol duties.
It's still early now, so let them eat and rest for a few hours.
Wait until eight o'clock in the evening to start the official shift.
After saying this, Ji Yang continued, "It has been a year and a half since the polar night began. We don't know what will happen next. Should we try to collect some more species?"
In fact, Xie Muchi had already collected many species in advance. In addition to those raised as food, there was also a small batch of others to enrich the species. However, their breeding has been controlled in recent years, so the number is not large.
But these are just a drop in the bucket for the vast species.
At this time, the polar night had lasted for such a long time and had just experienced a riot. The base was at its safest time. Not many people had the energy to cause trouble, which made it convenient for conducting various transactions and hiding themselves with the help of the night.
Xie Muzhi nodded: "Okay, then let's calculate which things are more likely to be obtained?"
Ji Yang decisively took out the animal encyclopedia: "Come, take a look."
Xie Muchi took out a pen and paper and consulted the animal encyclopedia. The two of them came up with a feasible one and wrote it down. Unfortunately, there were not many species that could be obtained, and even fewer that were easy to raise.
After an afternoon of discussion, there were only a dozen more.
It is also a hassle to get these.
Fortunately, they had a lot of supplies, and after they took them out, many people were willing to exchange them for these things.
After the discussion, the two had dinner again. After feeding all the cats, dogs, poultry and livestock in the space, it was already eight o'clock. Xie Muchi let out the three cats on his side, made them sit in a row, and told them their tasks with a serious face.
The most important thing is that the other three listened very attentively, and one golden retriever nodded frequently, as if they understood.
Aunt Ji Yang smiled and took out her camera to record these scenes.
After Xie Muzhi finished his lecture, the three of them stood up proudly.
I was sent to the space as soon as I got home this afternoon. They were still unfamiliar with this place. They first walked around the entire house and yard, and then seemed to automatically divide the work. One was at the gate, one was on the third floor, and one was near the back door in the house, and then they lay down.
Ji Yang: "Isn't this too smart?!"
She used to think Xixi was too smart, but later she found that Wangwang was also smart, and now these ones are even smarter!
She looked skeptical: "Could it be that a natural disaster has occurred and the animals have mutated?"
Xie Muzhi laughed, "Probably not. They are naturally very smart. Those who can be military and police dogs are all the best dogs. Those who are not very smart will be eliminated through various tests. Even Wangwang was able to catch mice and hand them over to its owner at such a young age, so he must be smart too."
Ji Yang put away the camera and yawned: "Okay, sleep peacefully tonight. With three people guarding the gate, I feel safe all of a sudden."
Xie Muzhi smiled and went upstairs with her.
——
Go to bed early, get up early.
At eight o'clock the next morning, Xie Muchi took the three working dogs that had worked all night back to the space. Ji Yang also released the three dogs and one cat from her space, and gave them a lecture like Xie Muchi did. Then she rewarded each of them with a piece of meat and let them deal with it themselves.
This time, after a discussion, the three of them made the same reaction as the previous batch!
The exception is Wangwang, who is a cat and not very brave, so he follows Xixi closely.
Various noises were heard outside the house. Dolly, who was guarding the gate, noticed the noise and pricked up her ears vigilantly, but if the other party did not approach, even if it passed by the door of the house, she would remain quiet.
You can tell at first glance that it's a smart dog that can make judgments.
But this time, they only worked for two hours before Ji Yang and Xie Muchi had to go out.
Not feeling comfortable leaving them alone, Ji Yang put them back into the space. In case something happened, he could leave the house behind but had to take the cats and dogs with him.
Xie Muchi rode a small electric scooter to take Ji Yang to the underground passage.
Almost a month has passed since the riots, and most of the makeshift clinics in the underground passages have been evacuated, leaving only a small number of medical staff distributed in different areas to provide first aid to the injured.
The injured are recovering, and most of the uninjured people dare not come out. Those who are still outside are those who have to come out for a living, some are setting up stalls, some are buying things, some are trading, and some are working.
There were lights in the underground passage and no thick fog, so everything was clearly visible.
As soon as the two appeared in the stall area, they were immediately stared at by many people. They could see at a glance that they were wealthy people who could be ripped off. Suddenly, the hawking sounds around them became much louder. However, up to now, there were very few things that could be sold. Apart from some common food and other items, the rest were mostly handmade items.
Slightly more precious items, such as anti-inflammatory herbs and previously expired western medicines, are basically sold out as soon as they are taken out.
The living creatures did not see it.
Ji Yang didn't expect to be able to buy it right away, how lucky is that?
So they just calmly walked around and visited all the stalls nearby, and then they went back, but they passed by the stalls they had visited before.
The two men still had empty hands and glanced at the stall from time to time with disappointed expressions.
At this time, any stall owner who is a little bit excited will have some ideas. It depends on who comes first. After walking two-thirds of the way, a young stall owner finally couldn't wait and followed.
"Handsome guy and beautiful girl! Wait!" The stall owner said with a smile, "What do you want to buy? I have a lot of good stuff here!"
Xie Muzhi frowned: "I don't need those things, I just want to buy two puppies to guard the house."
The stall owner was stunned: "Puppies?" He thought to himself that he was indeed a rich man, willing to spend money to raise dogs at this time, and to raise two dogs at once. But as a businessman, he would definitely not say much, but quickly think about whether he can get those connections in his mind, and then immediately said: "Sure! In this world, you need a gatekeeper. What breed do you want for the puppies? I know a lot of dog breeders!"
"It's a local dog. This kind of dog is obedient and loyal." Xie Muchi said casually.
"You really want a local dog?" the stall owner was a little surprised.
Xie Muzhi nodded affirmatively. The stall owner looked strange for a moment, but after thinking for a few seconds, he nodded: "Okay, then you two leave your contact information, and I'll tell you when I find it later."
Xie Muchi gave his cell phone number. Fortunately, cell phones could still be used in the base.
The stall owner took note and said with a smile: "Boss, wait, I guarantee you will be satisfied!"
After the conversation, the stall owner went back quickly without saying much. Ji Yang and Xie Muchi continued to walk back. After walking for a while, they caught up with another stall owner and asked him what they wanted.
Pat your chest and guarantee that they can get it.
This time it was Ji Yang's turn to speak: "Red-crowned crane, can you get one? If not, a peacock will do?"
Stall owner: “?”
Ji Yang sighed in disappointment: "Okay, forget it."
The stall owner was somewhat speechless: "What do you want this guy for?"
Ji Yang: "Let's take a look. I haven't seen this guy before the natural disaster."
The stall owner frowned in worry. He originally thought that the two men wanted to get some live animals to satisfy their appetite, or maybe some guns and ammunition to protect themselves, but it turned out that they wanted red-crowned cranes.
Anyone who dares to ask for this will definitely be rewarded a lot.
Although the stall owner had no idea, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, give me the contact information. I'll contact you if I have any news."
Ji Yang still gave Xie Muzhi's cell phone number.
After that, no stall owner came to talk to me.
The two of them took a walk and returned home. They let out the three dogs and one cat to look after the house again. They didn't have to go out for the next few days and just waited for news.
The local dogs were easy to find. Within two days, the young stall owner contacted Xie Muchi and said that he had found one. It happened to be a litter of two dogs, exactly one month old. The owner needed to see them first before deciding whether to sell them. The price was not cheap, 5,000 points for one dog, and 10,000 points for two dogs.
While on the phone, the stall owner whispered, "Brother, please be gentle when the time comes and show that you like dogs a little more, otherwise I'm afraid they won't sell to you."
Ji Yang was amused. Did they think they were going to eat dog meat?
Despite this, they were still very cooperative. The dog owner was an elderly man with a good family background. He lived in District 2. When he came to trade, his children accompanied him and they seemed very filial.
The old man was holding a puppy in one hand. The puppy was a little thin, not as round as Xixi in Ji Yang's impression. It looked timid, but particularly cute.
The old man looked at Ji Yang and Xie Muzhi with obvious scrutiny and caution, but not annoying.
With the stall owner mediating, everything went smoothly. However, during the transaction, the old man's eyes were red. He pulled Xie Muzhi and said in a hoarse voice, "The father of these two children was beaten to death by the bad guys in order to protect his family. Their mother died not long after giving birth. I raised these two children little by little. I am old now and can't afford to raise them or protect them. If you raise them, don't do anything that loses your conscience! These dogs are loyal! They can save lives if you raise them well!"
"Don't worry." Xie Muzhi said solemnly: "We will definitely take good care of them."
The old man then reluctantly touched the puppy again, wiped his tears, turned around and said, "Let's go, let's go, hurry up."
Ji Yang paid the money, said goodbye to the agent, and carried the dogs away while Xie Muchi rode his electric scooter to take her away. The two dogs barked because they were not used to being away from the elderly woman. Ji Yang quickly put the prepared milk bottles to their mouths. Each dog ate from a bottle, and the barking stopped immediately.
There happened to be one male and one female puppy. After bringing them home, I temporarily raised them with Ji Yang, and would raise them separately when they grew up a little.
The first transaction went smoothly, and Xie Muchi continued to contact the man and placed the second order: earthworms.
This thing is very important to the ecological environment, but the two of them didn't need it in their space before, and they only remembered to get it now. It has experienced acid rain in the wild and is basically extinct, so it is difficult to find.
But the base has special breeding areas and planting areas, and earthworms are a very important species for agriculture, so the base must have them.
Originally, the problem could be solved by contacting Zhao Xing, but Ji Yang still felt guilty, so he simply traded everything that could be traded. There was no news from the red-crowned cranes for a long time, but the earthworms were delivered to them in just three days.
The price is much cheaper, only 500 points.
Next is the third type of eagles, which is more extensive. Xie Muchi only has some birds, with many species, but he really doesn’t understand eagle eggs, so the column for the overlord of the sky is still empty.
When the young stall owner heard the request, his mouth twitched: "You two really know how to pick things." However, he was still happy to accept the order, but... he asked: "Are those two little puppies still alive?"
Ji Yang and Xie Muzhi smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
The stall owner understood, felt sorry for the little puppy, then turned around and left happily.
——
While waiting for the eagle, Ji Yang occasionally thought of the order with the red-crowned crane, and felt that it seemed like there was no hope.
So I was thinking about changing the stall owner?
But they are also afraid that if too many people are involved in the transaction, they will be easily exposed. Although they are very low-key, if someone is really interested, they can still find out their situation.
Two days later, that person contacted Xie Muchi.
The eagle was not found, but two red pandas were found.
It's a red panda, not a black and white giant panda.
Probably thinking that they just wanted to eat wild game, the man was also very smart and said directly: "These things are hard to come by now. It's already good enough to get a red panda. You two can take a look first. It's plump and pretty good."
Xie Muchi was silent for a moment. The red panda was actually also in their plan.
But he didn't show it. He hesitated for a moment, and then, under the other party's persuasion, decided to buy it and have a look. After agreeing on a place for the transaction, the two of them took the supplies they wanted.
Compared to the previous stall owner, this stall owner only wanted half of the points, and the rest would be exchanged for supplies. When he heard that they had tobacco and alcohol transactions, he smiled and agreed.
Cigarettes and alcohol are luxury goods. Game, especially live game, is also a luxury. Two red pandas can be exchanged for 20,000 points, five packs of cigarettes and three bottles of wine.
It's not just any ordinary wine, but a mid- to high-end liquor.
These were easy for Ji Yang. They had already aged a batch of the items in advance and then took them out and put them on the eMule to trade. He saw two red pandas that were indeed fat.
In fact, the two of them had no hope for the Fatty he mentioned, but when they saw him, they were really surprised.
The stall owner said proudly, "These two were previously kept as pets by two families living in the villa area. There were several of them. But after being killed by the survivors of the riot, many of the family members died or were injured, so they didn't want to keep them anymore, so they sold them. You are lucky to have come across these last two. The first few were sold out, and I heard they tasted great. Some people still want them..."
The two slightly fat little pandas seemed to understand and were shivering in the cage.
Ji Yang couldn't listen any longer and frowned, "Okay, let's trade."
He shut up, still undecided, and stretched out his hand with a sly smile.
Xie Muzhi traded with him, and after counting the items, the two of them also got the supplies. Then the stall owner said, "Two bosses, do you still want these?"
"Yes, but not everything..." Xie Muchi said indifferently.
The stall owner listened with a smile.
I'm not afraid that they want it, I'm just afraid that they don't want it. There is profit only when there is demand. He held the cigarette in his arms. There are not so many people who like game, but it's different for cigarettes and alcohol. You can make a lot of money by reselling them.
After the transaction was completed, the two men walked back. The road was still dark, and occasionally some flashlights could be seen.
etc……
Ji Yang suddenly asked: "Xie Muzhi, do you remember that you could see the light of the flashlight before?"
Xie Muzhi was also stunned: "It seems impossible?"
He looked back at Ji Yang, and Ji Yang was also looking at him. They still couldn't see each other clearly, but the headlights of the electric car were on, so they could see each other's outlines.
"You said... Is the fog thinning a little?" Ji Yang was a little surprised: "The polar night is about to pass?!"
"Maybe." Xie Muzhi was not sure, but was just as happy.
When I got near my home, about ten meters away, I could vaguely see the lights. When I got closer, I could see them more clearly. However, when I got to the corner of the wall, it was dark under the light and I couldn't see anything again.
Ji Yang went downstairs to open the door, Xie Muchi drove in and closed the door again, and the two returned to the house. Xie Muchi immediately put the two red pandas into the space without placing them on any particular mountain. The red pandas were not very destructive, so as long as they were controlled and not allowed to destroy the crops, they could move freely.
With the addition of one more species, both of them were in a good mood.
They want to preserve as many species as possible for the future...if the natural disaster can end one day, these will be important things to restore the ecology. But for now, Ji Yang is a little worried.
The land has been damaged to this extent by acid rain, not just in one place, but everywhere it has passed.
Even if the disaster disappears, it will probably take many years just to wait for the ecology to recover. Can the soil accumulated at the base last for so many years?
Will there be a day when humans disappear completely because of this?
The thought flashed through his mind, and Ji Yang quickly shook his head to deny the idea. It was impossible. The official was still very reliable. The entire country was now concentrated in five major bases. With a large concentration of resources, even if there was a big disaster, they would definitely be able to survive it!
The next day, the young stall owner contacted them again and got what they wanted!
Over the next few days, I kept receiving various creatures.
Even now, after surviving so many natural disasters, the "sparks" that have been preserved are still more than imagined. They have obtained four cats with strong survival abilities, such as the tabby cat and the cow cat, and they still raise the male and female separately.
In addition, there are two pheasants, several snakes, bamboo rats... and so on. The number of each species is not large, but they can all reproduce. Ji Yang did not raise these separately, and put them into the space as needed according to the remaining space between the two of them.
By now, Ji Yang has also begun to reduce the scope of raising poultry and livestock. He only needs to keep them from dying. During the nearly two years of polar night, they have saved a lot of food. The space vacated after the reduction will be left for these animals.
Amid the busyness, the fog did begin to lift.
At the beginning, the visibility was only one or two meters. Half a month later, the visibility reached about ten meters.
The sun still hasn't come out, but the lights are starting to work, and the night is not so scary anymore. The official can generate electricity, and the light is not very big, but it is fine for lighting.
Therefore, it didn't take long for Ji Yang to discover lights beginning to appear in the darkness.
With the lights on, some people even started visiting.
Some people also came to invite them to parties or something, but they refused every time. After two times, everyone understood and stopped bothering them.
Until Xie Muzhi received another call from the middle-aged stall owner: "Do you want a panda? We can't get those big black bears here, but we can get giant pandas, and bear paws taste really good..."
Xie Muzhi: “Yes.”
"Okay!" The stall owner was not surprised at all that they agreed: "This is a lot of panda meat, and it's from live pandas. The price is fifty packs of cigarettes! Plus two hundred thousand points!"
hiss--
It is indeed a national treasure before the natural disaster, but it is so expensive!
Ji Yang made a gesture and Xie Muchi started to bargain with him. Although they had plenty of points, they couldn't waste them like that, especially since cigarettes were so precious!
After a heated argument, the offer was changed to 35 packs of cigarettes and 150,000 points. If it was any less, they would not give in.
After the discussion and hanging up the phone, Xie Muchi looked a little strange.
"He said that the pandas were not suitable for trading within the base and had to leave the base."
Ji Yang was puzzled: "Are you trying to rob the thieves?"
They have traded so many times, wouldn't it be good for them to cooperate a little?
Xie Muchi was not sure either, but there would definitely be some problems getting out of the base. However, now that the thick fog was beginning to dissipate and the lights were working, the concealment was indeed not as good as before.
No matter what, they can give it a try.
It's still the case that people with great skills are bold.
Therefore, the two of them drove off the next day. The armored vehicle made them feel more at ease, but it was a pity that they could not use it casually. However, they also had a modified off-road vehicle that could be used as a makeshift one.
We drove all the way to the gate of the base, and the stall owner came over on a small electric scooter to lead the way.
Xie Muzhi drove after them and stopped after driving about a kilometer. The stall owner smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't cheat you. Just wait here. The giant panda will be here soon."
Xie Muchi didn't say much and just waited in the car.
After a while, a pickup truck drove over, and in the basket of the truck were two cages. Two skinny-looking black and white giant pandas were curled up in the cages. They had wounds on their bodies and were gasping violently with their mouths open.
Two people got out of the car and roughly pushed the cage down from above.
"Boo-boo-boo——" The giant panda was badly hurt after falling down, and cried out in pain, holding his head.
Ji Yang frowned.
The stall owner said, "Here, take a look. If you like it, we can pay."
There was no need to look at it, it was confirmed to be a giant panda. Xie Muzhi just glanced at the car and said, "Let them go away."
"Okay." The stall owner still smiled and went over to say something to the other party. Soon the car drove away, and the headlights disappeared into the darkness. The surroundings were quiet. Xie Muzhi was satisfied, and then he took out the materials for the transaction: "Click."
"No, no, we've done business so many times, we still have some trust in each other. Next time I get something good, we'll continue." The stall owner was very satisfied with the reward, got on his electric scooter again, and left with a smile.
For a moment, there were only two people, one car and two giant pandas in cages.
Out of caution, they waited for a while and confirmed that there was no other movement around. Then they turned off the car lights, opened the door, and put on bulletproof vests and helmets when they got out of the car.
When you are outside, especially in unfamiliar places, you must be cautious.
According to their memory, they came to the cage and were about to move the cage to the car, actually using the space to move it, when they suddenly heard a crisp "click" sound, as if something broke.
Then the cage shook, and the giant panda was about to come out!
Waiting for them here!
Ji Yang suddenly realized and immediately had a tranquilizer gun in his hand. Xie Muchi also took out a flashlight and illuminated the moment in front of him. At that moment, two pandas just climbed out of the cage and pounced towards them with fierce looks on their faces.
A national treasure that is extremely hungry is also a vicious beast.
There were two muffled sounds: "bang" and "bang".
The tranquilizer gun hit both of them.
Ji Yang and Xie Muchi also retreated at the same time, one took two steps back and stopped, while the other quickly got into the car.
The two of them were seen staggering, and after three seconds, they couldn't hold on and fell down.
This high concentration of anesthesia is not good for the body. Ji Yang didn't plan to use it at first, but now it has come to this, so she has to use it. Her own life is more important, and she doesn't want to hurt them.
After they fell, a burst of violent curses rang out around them.
Perhaps he didn't expect that the carefully planned fatal blow would be so easily resolved. Then he heard a low shout not far away: "Go!"
The sound of bullets, "Bang, bang, bang," also rang out at this time.
