Xia Ruanruan felt truly guilty! She felt a chill run down her spine, especially when she saw Wu Wenhua's miserable state.
Well……
As someone who is deeply loved by furry animals, she can be considered an expert in raising fish since she was a child. For example, this time... she really didn't want to raise fish, but didn't the fish come by itself?
The little girl said pitifully, "How about...you should think about it...I think it would be nice for us to be friends."
Xia Runrun's inner shock had not yet shown on her face, but the other dogs around her had already revealed expressions of surprise.
"Woof woof woof~" (What friend?! Aren't you a cub?!)
"Awooooooooooooo~" (How can a cub be the same as its friends?)
Groups of mutant dogs let out soul-cries, their eyes widened and became even bigger and more surprised than Xia Ruanruan's, each one of them round and bright.
Xia Ruanruan: “???”
No... you guys just said you wanted to recognize a new master! How could things change so quickly?
"Didn't you say before that you wanted to recognize new owners?" The little girl squeezed out a sentence dryly, trying to remind the dogs to remember what she had said 10 minutes ago.
Unexpectedly, the mutant dogs were even more shocked than Xia Ruanruan. Not only were their eyes wide open, but their mouths also opened wide subconsciously, almost unable to close in surprise.
"Awooo?" (Wasn't that just a joke before?)
Lightning looked down at the little one with an embarrassed look on his face. It was unrealistic for such a big dog like him to take a small cub that couldn't even reach his knees when it jumped as its master.
but……
Considering how adorable the cub is, if she really insists, then yes, yes... I can reluctantly agree, right?
The large wolfhound stretched out its paw and scratched its ears. All it wanted was a cub. It had been ages since it had seen such an adorable cub that was just what it wanted. As a young, handsome, and single man, Lightning was torn for a moment.
Xia Ruanruan: "..."
She didn’t expect it, she didn’t expect it, she really didn’t expect it at all.
It seemed these mutant dogs were still treating her like a pup, with no intention of recognizing her as their master. The phrase "Why can't we have multiple masters?" turned out to be just a rebuttal to Wu Wenhua's behavior.
"But what happened to my illustrated guide..."
Xia Ruanruan subconsciously reached for the golden illustration above her head. Her chubby hands casually flipped through the entire book. The portraits of mutant dogs such as the lightning leopard, purple black tiger, etc. were clearly engraved on the pictures. These dogs were either sitting or standing, and each one was vivid and lifelike.
"Don't you mean that only residents who recognize me, willingly follow me, and live with me in my Zootopia can light up the Pokédex?"
Xia Ruanruan: ...
Xia Ruanruan suddenly remembered something and was silent for two seconds.
——Is this the loving feeling of an old father who unconditionally believes in his child and is willing to play the city-building game with her?
Xia Ruanruan: This crappy illustrated guide isn't accurate at all! It's clearly stated that only residents who truly trust and respect her can truly light up the icon! But these mutant dogs don't show any respect for her at all! They clearly just want to act like her old father and mother.
Perhaps the little girl's face kept changing so much that she was too frustrated. The big Rottweiler dog called Leopard pushed Lightning in the front and barked at him twice.
"Woof woof woof, woof woof!" (Whatever the cub says is true, how come you don't understand the cub's heart at all?)
The Rottweiler's tall body seemed like a giant mountain. He tried hard to lower his voice and make it sound as small and thin as possible, but the other party was big in size and had a loud voice. His low bark was like the light of a passing typhoon blowing into the ears of every mutant dog, causing all the mutant dogs to react and bark.
"Awooo wooo wooo~~" (That's right! Whatever the cub says is what it is! Since the cub wants to be the master, I will call you master from now on~ Master!)
"Woof woof woof~~" (Woof woof~ Master, Master~Woof woof woof~~ Baby, do you think I'm calling you Master correctly?)
"Aoaoao~" (What the baby said is right, Dad... Oh no, I, old Henry, will definitely call the baby according to his wishes... Master!)
Xia Ruanruan: "..."
It was so loud, I could hear it!
…
Although she was being chased by a group of mutant dogs calling for their master, Xia Runrun did not feel any happiness from her master at all.
The little girl walked over to Huang Haichao and the others with a blank expression, asking what they should do next. This time, their shelter not only had 42 more mutant dogs, but also over 300 captives from other shelters.
These captives were all strong and healthy, and it was obvious that they were living a much better life than the vast majority of the survivors in the Star Sea Shelter.
"What do you think we should do with these people?" Yang Fan asked, his eyes sweeping over the people around the shelter.
The 300 or so prisoners captured this time were all tied up and forced to kneel in the snow. Since they had dared to attack their shelter with explosives in the middle of the night, it was natural that they would suffer some hardship after being captured. Kneeling in the snow in such cold weather, making them shiver with cold, was obviously a good idea and a great way to relieve their anger.
Old Man Yan glanced at the crowd in the snow, frowning slightly as he replied, "It's not appropriate to just let these people go, but killing them all is obviously not appropriate either... After all, we're all ordinary people. Although they attacked the shelter, their crimes don't deserve the death penalty. I think we can think of other ways to deal with them. For example, we can ask the people in the shelter to pay a ransom, or force these people to work for us to rebuild the shelter gate and other places."
"Uncle Yan, aren't you being too lenient? I've heard from many people before that this Wu guy is not a good guy. He has done murder and arson, and even let his group of mutant dogs devour living people. If we let a natural villain like him go, won't we be harming others? Maybe he will turn around and go back to gather another group of mutant beasts and survivors to attack our shelter. What should we do then?" Huang Haichao prepared for a rainy day, and his two handsome eyebrows were now almost twisted into an eight.
He spoke in a gruff voice, sternly saying, "I don't care about others, but at least we have to make an example of them! That Wu guy, and those lackeys who were walking around Wu Wenhua before, let's kill them all!"
Huang Haichao's eyes were fierce, completely unlike the lazy and funny young man who was chased by Huskies every day.
This time the shelter was attacked, and it seemed to take only over an hour for everyone in the shelter to subdue the invaders, so there was not much loss.
But during the battle, there were more than a dozen wounded people in the entire shelter!
The most seriously injured one was one of Huang Haichao's brothers. He was stabbed directly in the waist and abdomen by a long knife, and blood was flowing all over the ground. If it weren't for Doctor Zeng's quick speed, he would probably have become a corpse and been dragged away to be burned.
"You have a point. I've heard before that this group of people surnamed Wu are not good people. Not only do they occupy other people's shelters, but they also like to look at pretty girls. I guess this guy has ruined a lot of good girls over the years!"
"Since this guy is vicious, lustful and doesn't treat people as human beings, then we don't need to keep him here. Keeping him alive is a waste of food, it's better to kill him!" A tall and strong survivor standing nearby echoed.
He glanced at Wu Wenhua fiercely. This survivor had a daughter before. Before the virus broke out, the whole world was in chaos and her daughter was almost raped by a group of gangsters. Therefore, he hated such things very much and looked at Wu Wenhua with murderous eyes.
When Wu Wenhua heard that he might be killed as a warning to others, he almost jumped up in anxiety as he had been eavesdropping with his ears perked up.
However, with his hands and feet tied, Wu Wenhua fell flat on his face. He didn't even mention the pain and coldness that raged all over his body. He just kept shouting at the top of his lungs, "It's unfair! It's unfair! I'm being wronged!"
"I've never fed a living person to a dog! I've never raped any good girl! You can't just accuse me!"
Wu Wenhua was really aggrieved. It was true that he had dreamed of becoming Long Aotian since he was a child.
But what is Long Aotian?
Long Aotian is a man of status, position, and immense power, capable of attracting all manner of beautiful women through pure charm. Given this, how could he possibly do something unbecoming of his status, such as mistreating women? This kind of love can only manifest his unbridled charm when it's consensual.
"What are you yelling about?! You're yelling so loudly, do you think you are the God of Thunder? Do you think you are right? You say you didn't do it, so you didn't do it?! If you didn't do it, why do we in the South District hear such rumors?!" Huang Haichao took two steps forward very rudely and slapped Wu Wenhua on the head.
If it weren’t for this guy, his brother wouldn’t have been injured!
"I really don't have any..."
Wu Wenhua knelt on the ground, glanced at Huang Haichao cautiously, and mumbled in defense, "Those things about murder, arson, and cannibalism... were just a few rumors I spread to intimidate other shelters..."
"I'm thinking, isn't it because my reputation is so great... that others will surrender quickly? I just want to quickly capture the entire Xingyue City..."
After Wu Wenhua finished speaking, he blushed a little embarrassedly.
Huang Haichao: “…”
Yang Fan: “…”
Other people in the shelter: "..."
A group of people stood there, looking at each other in bewilderment. For a moment, they couldn't tell whether what this man said was true or not. Only Xia Ruanruan frowned and asked the mutant dog next to her. After hearing the mutant dog's howling, it confirmed that it really never ate humans and that everything Wu Wenhua said was true.
Xia Ruanruan then took a few steps forward and said to everyone, "Dear uncles, aunts, and cousins, what this person said should be true. I heard my parents talk about this before in the Northwest District."
After all, he was the original breeder of Lightning and the others, and Xia Runrun didn't want to see Wu Wenhua's head and body separated.
"That's right! What I said is really the truth! If you don't believe me, you can just ask anyone in our base, they all know it!" Wu Wenhua seemed to have found a savior and cast a grateful look at Xia Runrun.
The people around looked at each other, wondering how they were going to get this group of people out?
