Chapter 1390: Give Bowwow an Admonitory Talk
Lin Qiao was sitting in her office when Duan Juan knocked on the door and entered, “Aren’t you gonna do something about those pets of yours?”
“What’s wrong?” Lin Qiao raised her head to look at her.
“They have shown up in the Mount Wu area every night. What do they want?” said Duan Juan.
Lin Qiao shrugged and said, “How am I supposed to know? But I think they won’t do anything bad.”
During the day, she needed to keep her eyes on Huaxia Base and those underground creatures, so she could react to any possible situation in time. At night, she needed to upgrade her zombie soldiers. All in all, she did not have the time for those pets.
They would not do any harm anyway, so Lin Qiao decided to let them do whatever they wanted. She couldn’t cast them away, could she? At the same time, she could not invite them into the base either.
“They won’t do anything bad?” Duan Juan looked at her with surprise, saying, “Junjun, Keng-keng, and the others are p.i.s.sed off!”
“What? They’ve been trying to help, haven’t they?” Lin Qiao looked at her with confusion.
“They’ve been more of a hindrance than help,” Duan Juan rolled her eyes and said.
Indeed, Lin Qiao’s pets had been trying to help. Lin Qiao had ordered Liu Jun to exploit new fields, so the farm’s zombies had been reclaiming the land day and night. Bowwow would join the soil-loosening work if he were in a good mood. However, every time he did that, Keng-keng and Fox had to drive him away using hoes.
The farmers dug about twenty centimeters deep into the earth to loosen the soil. Unlike them, Bowwow created one or two meters deep holes. What would the holes like that be needed for? To bury dead bodies?
So, Keng-keng and Fox had to drive the dog away every time and then fill the hole up.
Bowwow wasn’t happy to see his holes be filled up. So, when the farm managers weren’t paying attention to him, he often sneaked into the new fields to dig more holes. The red cat and the fluffy dog had learned to do the same. Even worse, their huge paws could create giant holes in the ground very easily!
Liu Jun, Keng-keng, and the other farm managers often beat them with hoes. However, those mutated creatures were so strong that hoes could barely cause them pain. Liu Jun and her friends almost wanted to attack them with superpowers!
The two dogs were smart. They would turn and run every time they saw someone coming at them holding a hoe or a shovel. Meanwhile, Black and Red would be staying on the side and watching them leisurely.
Lin Qiao wasn’t around anyway, and no one else could make them follow orders.
“Red, I know, but what does the mastiff want?” Lin Qiao said with laughter, “Is it fond of Bowwow? No way. I thought Bowwow was a boy, wasn’t he?”
The Tibetan was, of course, a boy as well.
“How could I know what it wants?” Duan Juan raised her brows and said, “I don’t speak the language of dogs. I think you should make some time and take a look at them, or else they might really dig holes everywhere. We’d have to send people to fill those holes. How troublesome would that be?”
“Alright, I get it,” Lin Qiao nodded.
In the afternoon, Lin Qiao finished her work of the day and then brought the two kids to Mount Wu. The land near the foot of Mount Wu had been exploited by Liu Jun and her zombies almost entirely. The mountain was divided into two parts, one turning into an orchard while the other had been serving as a training ground for zombie soldiers.
Bowwow and his friends usually stayed in the orchard.
They sensed Lin Qiao’s vibe once the latter approached. As soon as she showed up near the cabin, her two giant pets showed up.
“Black, Black, come here!” Before Lin Qiao called their names, Teng, who was held in her arms, waved at Black. Black was moving slowly toward Lin Qiao at that moment. Hearing the boy, Black paused and reared up his head to give the boy a glance. Then, he lowered his head and kept wriggling toward Lin Qiao.
“Mama, I want to sit on its back!” Teng raised his head and said to Lin Qiao.
Teng was still a tiny baby, barely half a meter tall, while Black was enormous. He was nearly a hundred meters long and his body was thicker than a bucket. He always took the main roads instead of the narrow paths by the field edges, because he knew that he would crush the edge of the field.
So, Teng could totally sit on its body.
As Teng was talking to Lin Qiao, Black had already come up to both of them.
“Why do you want to sit on his back? You can sit on Flower’s back or Bowwow’s,” Lin Qiao looked at her son and said. She was surprised that the kid chose the hair-less Black over the fluffy ones.
“I like Black’s smooth texture,” Teng said. He seemed to have read Lin Qiao’s mind.
Lin Qiao still didn’t understand but put the boy on Black’s back nonetheless and let him spread his legs to sit down.
Teng was tiny and wasn’t able to walk yet, but he sat on Black’s back stably without showing a sign of falling. Judging by how well he could crawl, he was good at controlling his own body. He just couldn’t stand up yet, maybe because his legs were still not strong enough.
The few huge creatures’ showing up instantly made the place crowded. The other two didn’t come too close. The cat was flying in the sky while the dog was looking at Lin Qiao and the others from about thirty meters away.
“Come here, Bowwow.” After putting her son on Black’s back, Lin Qiao turned and waved at Bowwow. She thought for a moment and turned to wave at the bigger dog, who was tens of meters from her. “And you, come here.”
The mastiff was squatting on the ground, looking as huge as a buffalo. Its curly tail instantly dropped when it heard Lin Qiao. Instead of coming to her, the dog stayed where it was and looked at her quietly.
As the dog didn’t follow her words, Lin Qiao pointed at Bowwow and said, “I’ll put him into my s.p.a.ce if you don’t come here.”
“Woof!” Upon hearing that, the mastiff immediately gave her a growl. Its sound expressed an obvious discontent!
“You don’t want that? So come here!” Lin Qiao waved at it again.
The dog understood her words even more clearly than Bowwow could. On hearing what she said, it reluctantly walked toward her step by step. As it was coming closer, Bowwow hid behind Lin Qiao with fear.
Lin Qiao slapped on his head and said, “Why are you hiding? Do you have any idea what you’ve done? You dug huge holes! The others need to fill up your holes! Are you here to make trouble? Why did you make him dig holes together with you?”
While scolding Bowwow, Lin Qiao glanced at the mastiff.
“Errr…” Suffering that slap, Bowwow immediately dropped his head. He glanced at her from the corners of his eyes and then found her wearing a very serious look. So, he quicklydropped his eyelids.
Watching Lin Qiao hit Bowwow, the mastiff paused briefly. It looked at Lin Qiao and then at Bowwow. Only after that did it keep moving toward Lin Qiao, albeit slowly.
