Chapter 124 - 124: The Vicious Dog That Was Being Protector
Ji Zan ran to the front and finally saw the building clearly. It was a damaged second floor, but many places were not damaged. Seeing this, his voice was filled with joy.”From the looks of it, this should also be a storage warehouse.
It’s just that it’s a little smaller than the one in An Town.”
However, before the two of them could get close, they heard a fierce bark. They saw a golden retriever the size of an eight or nine-year-old child baring its sharp teeth and barking at the two of them. Its intention was obvious. It was chasing away the two strangers.
Seeing the breed and fur of the golden retriever, Fu Shinan immediately deduced,””There must be its owner inside. This is a domestic pet dog.”
Stop barking…”
Fu Shinan was surprised. She thought that Ji Zan would subdue the golden retriever directly, so she anxiously said that it had an owner. She did not expect him to say this.
However, the golden retriever did not understand. Seeing that they had not left, he took a few steps forward and said, “Woof woof woof!” It was extremely vicious.
Seeing that it had become even more ferocious, Ji Zan immediately took a few steps back, and his expression became even more nervous.
Fu Shinan tilted her head and glanced at him. Ji Zan…He’s actually afraid of dogs? Just as she was feeling suspicious, she took a closer look and saw that the hairs on Ji Zan’s neck were standing up. It was hard to imagine that Ji Zan, who was not afraid of zombies or evil people, would be afraid of a furry dog. At this moment, the golden retriever bared its teeth and roared again.
Ji Zan retreated again.
Fu Shinan was speechless. Who would believe it? She immediately jumped down from his body and patted Ji Zan, signaling for her to take over. Then, she bent down and said,”Good dog, we’re not bad people. Is your master inside?”
Although the golden retriever barked at Fu Shinan again, its expression was obviously much gentler. However, it still refused to retreat and did not let the two of them in.
Fu Shinan looked inside and then at the golden retriever. He found that its hind leg seemed to be injured and hung in the air. It looked like it was broken. “Are you hurt?” she asked. Can you let me see your legs?”
The golden retriever let out another ‘woof’ and then started whimpering, looking extremely pitiful.
Fu Shinan took a few steps forward, wanting to reach out and pat the golden retriever’s head.
Ji Zan was startled and quickly pulled Fu Shinan back, saying, “Don’t touch it.
It’s injured, and it might have been bitten by a zombie.”
The golden retriever was startled by Ji Zan’s actions and immediately barked aggressively.
Fu Shinan tried to calm it down, saying, “Don’t be nervous. The way it’s acting doesn’t seem like a zombie bite. It has consciousness.”
At this moment, they heard a painful moan from inside the building.
There was indeed someone inside.
Upon hearing the sound, the golden retriever immediately turned and ran towards the building.
Fu Shinan followed suit.
Ji Zan had no choice but to follow them, locking the iron gate of the building behind him. This way, even if the zombies caught up, they could delay them for a while.
Once inside, it was as dim as the storage warehouse in An Town, but some areas weren’t completely sealed, allowing a faint glimmer of light to filter through.
Fu Shinan adjusted to the light and finally saw the man lying on the ground inside. The man appeared to be around fifty years old, covered in bloodstains, and as she got closer, she could even smell the stench of decay. She glanced around and indeed found a decaying corpse nearby. From the back, it looked like a woman, and judging by the posture, her neck had been twisted. The man was still conscious, breathing heavily with great effort. Upon hearing footsteps, he slowly opened his eyes.
His pupils contracted instantly upon seeing Fu Shinan and Ji Zan. Shivering, he pointed at them and said, “Are you humans? I didn’t expect to find humans in Hai Town…”
Ji Zan heard this and furrowed his brow. Hai Town was at least a hundred kilometers away from An Town, so how on earth did they get blown this far by the tornado? For a moment, he didn’t know whether to be amazed by their luck or terrified by the power of the tornado.
Fu Shinan shared the same thoughts and was surprised. She immediately
asked, “Where are you injured? I’m a doctor, let me take a look.”
The man smiled bitterly, “No need. I’ve lost both my legs… I don’t cherish my life anymore. If it weren’t for fear of leaving this dog all alone, I wouldn’t have bothered living. I killed my wife with my own hands… These days, Fu Gui has been finding food for me. It’s been a struggle to survive. Now that I’ve seen living people, take it with you. It’s very obedient..”
