Abnormal survival in the end times

Chapter 315 Extra: Xiao Wu's Scheme
As it grew older, Xiao Wu's fur became increasingly fiery red, just like the fire it breathed from its mouth, making it exceptionally dazzling.

It has grown almost 20 centimeters taller than before, and with its strong physique, the dog looks extremely majestic and powerful, not at all like a Shiba Inu.

Perhaps because of its good diet, it is now much older than the average lifespan of a dog, and it shows no signs of aging, looking like it could live for many more years.

"Xiao Wu, Xiao Jiu has run off somewhere again. Go and find it."

As dusk approached, Jiang Qi searched the village thoroughly and confirmed that Xiao Jiu was indeed not in Yunxi Village. Helpless, he called out to Xiao Wu, "Things have been a bit unsettled outside lately. If it has run out of the city, you need to bring it back as soon as possible."

Xiao Wu and Liu Li only had two litters in total. Of the two puppies from the first litter, Qiao Fei kept one, while Wei Li Chuan coaxed the other one away from Jiang Qi.

The following year, they had another litter, one male and one female. Zeng Xi took the male to Kyoto, while Xi Yu kept the female.

And Xiao Jiu is the little cub born to Xi Yu.

So he is Xiao Wu's grandson.

With Xiao Wu and Liu Li around, Jiang Qi didn't want to raise any more puppies. He felt that even if Xiao Wu reached the end of his life one day, he probably wouldn't raise any more dogs in the future.

But for some reason, Xiao Wu actually carried Xiao Jiu directly from Xi Yu's house to his own home after Xiao Jiu's one-month celebration.

Jiang Qi wanted to return it because Uncle Sheng had promised to give the dog to his son.

But Xiao Wu wouldn't allow it no matter what.

What else can Lao Sheng do?
Are you trying to argue with a dog?
Although Xiao Wu is not an ordinary dog, the puppy is someone's grandson.

And so, Xiao Jiu was forced to live with Jiang Qi.

When Xiao Jiu was six months old, his special ability awakened, and like Xiao Wu, it was fire-based.

But this is a super lively and super energetic dog.

Every time Jiang Qi goes out, it has to jump and hop to follow him. If he doesn't go out, it will run away from Yunxi Village and won't come back until it's time to eat.

Just like the unruly children in rural families.

Although Xiao Wu would chase after him and beat him up every time, and he would cry out pitifully, he just wouldn't change.

This time, they really went all out and disappeared without a trace.

Jiang Qi could sense that this guy had run out of the city.

"Wang Wang!"

Xiao Wu received Jiang Qi's order and was about to turn around and run out when Liu Li suddenly ran out of the pet room and skipped over to Xiao Wu's side.

Its size has remained unchanged. Originally about the same height as Xiao Wu, it is now more than 20 centimeters shorter, making it appear even more petite, delicate, and cute.

That's right. It seems that as I get older, I become more attached to Xiao Wu.

Moreover, his possessiveness towards Xiao Wu became stronger.

A few days ago, a country dog ​​rubbed its head against Xiao Wu's, and Xiao Wu got so angry that it chased the dog for two miles, breathing fire, and finally burned the dog's tail before coming back.

Now, in their area, no dog within a ten-mile radius dares to provoke it.

Of course, no one dared to provoke Xiao Wu. The main reason was that provoking Xiao Wu was tantamount to provoking it.

It's probably already common knowledge among the dog population in Shenzhen that the female Shiba Inu in Yunxi Village is a jealous dog.

However, Liuli didn't care. Whenever Xiao Wu went out, it would follow along if it could. So this time, just like before, when it saw Xiao Wu was about to go out, it quickly came out of its nest and ran behind it.

Xiao Wu glanced at it, but Jiang Qi didn't see what its eyes looked like. Anyway, it didn't tell Liuli to go back, which seemed to be its tacit approval of its behavior, and continued to run outside.

"Do you want to go and take a look?"

Song Xiaoxiao, who was resting at home after giving birth, said with a worried expression, "Liuli's running and reaction abilities are not as good as before. Will she be in trouble if she goes out of the city at this time?"

"With Xiao Wu here, nothing will happen. Go back to bed and lie down. I'll go get you some chicken soup."

Jiang Qi gave a few instructions and then headed to the Bai family villa. He returned shortly afterward with a pot in his hands and his mother.

Bai Li, who is now a grandmother, looks almost exactly the same as she did at the beginning of the apocalypse. It seems that time has been exceptionally kind to her, freezing her face at the age of thirty-two.

On the other side, Xiao Wu followed the scent left by Xiao Jiu, heading north out of the city, then turning onto a secluded path heading west. Finally, when only the last glimmer of light remained in the sky, Xiao Wu found his grandson Xiao Jiu in an abandoned village.

"Woof! Whoosh!"

At this moment, Xiao Jiu was confronting a pack of wild dogs. It arched its body, bared its teeth, and spat out a ball of fire whenever anyone tried to pounce, forcing them back before quickly protecting the little creature behind it and moving backward.

However, because the other party was injured and had great difficulty walking, they could only move a little bit each time.

If this continues, before it can escape with the little thing, its special ability will be exhausted. At that time, the pack of wild dogs will swarm in and tear them to pieces.

Xiao Wu stood behind waist-high weeds with Liu Li, watching Xiao Jiu intimidate the pack of dogs while occasionally letting out a long howl towards Pengcheng.

The little rascal is calling for backup.

It was certain that as long as it, Liuli, or any dog ​​in Pengcheng heard it, they would bring people or dogs to the rescue.

That's for sure. After all, the little rascal runs around the city all the time and knows every dog ​​well. If anyone heard him, they definitely wouldn't ignore it.

But you have to hear it first.

You little rascal, you ran so far away. Even if you scream your lungs out here, the dogs in Pengcheng won't hear you.

Xiao Wu glanced at Xiao Jiu with some disdain, quite worried about its intelligence.

Back then, I only wanted to choose a purebred fire-type dog for my little owner, but I overlooked the importance of brains, and this guy clearly doesn't have that feature.

Its gaze shifted back to the little thing that the little rascal was protecting at the risk of his life, and suddenly its eyes lit up. Was this a wolf cub?
To be precise, this is a wolf cub that is at least six months old. It is not actually small, but it is too thin and injured, lying on the ground. In addition, it has a lot of blood on its body after the injury, which makes its fur flat and its whole body smaller.

Although its body was covered in blood and dust, making it look grayish and obscuring the true color of its fur, the top of its head was pure white. Its eyes were not the eerie green of other wolves, but a deep blue, just like... Xiao Wu remembered the kid who always followed Xiao Bai around, and... well, his eyes were similar to Xiao Bai's.

Based on preliminary assessment, this appears to be a beautiful white wolf cub, and likely a female wolf.

Why are you so sure it's a female wolf?

Because if this guy meddles in other people's business, it's definitely a female involved. If it's a male, no matter how good-looking he is, at most it'll just glance at him a couple of times. For it, a life-risking rescue like this would never happen between members of the same sex.

They've really made something of themselves, daring to even target wolves.

But it’s not impossible.

After Xiao Jiu let out a long, desperate cry for help one last time, Xiao Wu slowly emerged from behind the bushes with Liu Li.

In that instant, Xiao Jiu, who was still hesitating about whether to run away first, suddenly lit up with his dog eyes. Then, he bared his teeth and barked at the pack of dogs opposite him, arching his back as if to pounce on the dog in front of the pack.

This was a complete departure from their previous conservative, retreating stance. The two wild dogs with special abilities who had been following behind at a leisurely pace both changed their expressions the moment Xiao Wu appeared.

They knew that Xiao Jiu alone couldn't take the little wolf away. The reason they didn't order a fierce attack was simply to exhaust its power, leaving it powerless and forcing it to watch helplessly as they tore the little wolf to pieces.

As for Xiao Jiu, of course, she would tear the little wolf to shreds first, and then tear it apart.

This dog is a busybody, and they've disliked it for a long time.

Now that it has finally fallen into their hands, and with darkness approaching, its companions are unlikely to come looking for it at this time. Let it experience despair and then taste what death is like.

Unexpectedly, at this crucial moment, this old fire-type dog actually left the city.

To this pack of stray dogs, Xiao Wu, an old dog who had lived for a very long time, had not shown his face for quite some time.

I thought it was old and wouldn't live much longer.

But look at its current state.
Under the intimidating gaze of Xiao Wu, the two leader dogs slowly retreated, then suddenly turned and ran away.

Before the pack of wild dogs in front of them could react, a flash of red light appeared before their eyes, and then the big red dog that had been standing in front of them suddenly appeared behind them.

The pack of wild dogs turned to look behind them, but could not see their two leaders, only the large red dog and two clumps of ashes at its feet.

The pack of dogs trembled and silently made way for the red-haired dog, then quickly turned and scattered.

"Woof woof."

Xiao Jiu was about to chase after a dog, catch it, and kill it to vent his anger when the dog took only two steps before it was swatted on the head.

It whimpered twice, not daring to whine and complain as it usually did after being hit, and instead tucked its tail between its legs and retreated to the little white wolf's side.

Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, the little white wolf finally couldn't hold on any longer the moment Xiao Wu came out and fainted.

Xiao Jiu lowered her head and sniffed, then unceremoniously stuck out her tongue and licked the other person's head all over, making Xiao Wu look disgusted.

Given the current situation, if it doesn't agree to take this little wolf back, the little rascal will definitely throw a tantrum.

Xiao Wu lowered his eyes to look at the white wolf head that had been licked clean, and in his heart he was certain that it was quite good-looking.

This little rascal has really taken his search for a partner to a whole new level.

They've gotten so bold, daring to go after wolves?
As the last glimmer of light faded on the horizon and darkness descended, twinkling lights began to illuminate the night.

Jiang Qi squatted on the roadside outside the gate of Yunxi Village, smoking and waiting for the dog.

He could have asked his mother or Jiang Xiaobai to check if Xiao Wu and the others had returned to the city, but those two were busy playing with his son and didn't want to talk to him.

There's nothing we can do but wait here.

But to his surprise, not only did Xiao Wu Liuli and Xiao Jiu appear, but they also brought back a wolf.

And it was a snow wolf!

Jiang Qi washed the wolf three times, cleaning off all the dust and blood, revealing its snow-white fur and a dazzling tuft of ice-blue fur on its forehead.

Snow wolves originated in the snow-capped mountains and are generally smaller than ordinary wolves. Even after the apocalypse, their size did not increase; only a tuft of blue fur appeared on their foreheads at some unknown time.

Perhaps due to environmental influences, any snow wolf with a tuft of blue hair on its forehead generally possesses ice-related abilities.

The problem is, the snow mountain is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from here, so how did this snow wolf get here from there?

Jiang Qi bandaged the snow wolf's wounds, big and small, and then asked his aunt to check it over. Finding no other problems, he settled the wolf in the pet room and then went out with Lin Zhe to make a phone call to inquire about the situation in the snow mountain.

As they expected, the snow mountain had collapsed last year.

Because someone went into the mountains to capture snow wolves, the commotion was so great that the entire snow-capped mountain range, stretching for hundreds of miles, collapsed. Apart from the captured snow wolves and snow foxes, the rest naturally escaped.

While examining the wolf, Xi Shuang also checked its bone age, which estimated it to be between two and a half and three years old.

In other words, it was only a little over a year old when the avalanche happened in its home last year.

As for why they ran here from the snow-capped mountains, it was probably just a coincidence. After all, they had no home, so what difference did it make where they ran?

In short, this snow wolf was not a cub as Xiao Wu initially thought. It was just small in size; although not fully grown, it was not small either.

A month later, the snow wolf's wounds had almost completely healed.

Jiang Qi was discussing with Xiao Jiu, "It's a wolf, it should go back to its pack. Let's talk to the Tiger King, and if the pack accepts it, it definitely won't drive it away. That way, it'll be back in its pack, closer to us, and it'll be easy for you to visit it. Isn't that a win-win situation? Right?"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Xiao Jiu stood in front of him, expressing her displeasure.

It didn't want its owner to send the snow wolf away; it was the one that it had saved, it was its own.

Jiang Qi sighed and turned to Xiao Wu, "Take care of it. It's a wolf, not like you dogs. It yearns for freedom."

In reality, the snow wolf, whom he believed yearned for freedom, had absolutely no desire to leave.

During the month it spent recuperating here, it ate well, drank well, and slept well. It also had a devoted, licking dog by its side, who would occasionally bring it a steamed bun, a fried dough stick, a chicken head, or a small steamed bun that smelled of milk.
In short, all sorts of food it had never seen before appeared before it in the past month. As a result, it not only recovered from its injuries but also gained weight. This made its white fur look even more glossy and shiny. And the tuft of blue fur on its head was even more dazzling.

It's fair to say that it hasn't been this peaceful since it left the snow-capped mountains.

The snow wolf didn't know what Jiang Qi wanted to do, but it understood what the sycophant meant: it was angry and didn't want him to leave.

The snow wolf glanced at the silly dog ​​in front of it with its icy blue eyes, then turned to look at the old red-haired dog lying next to it watching the show.

It knows that it has the most say here.

Sure enough, it rubbed its head against the human's trouser leg, and then the man turned and left.

Jiang Qi found it unbelievable that Xiao Wu actually wanted the snow wolf to stay.

Even more incredibly, the snow wolf didn't leave, and it remained unmoved even when it heard wolf howls coming from Pingcheng across the river.

What Jiang Qi and Xue Lang didn't know was that the steamed buns, fried dough sticks, chicken heads, and other snacks that Xiao Jiu was carrying were all "stolen" by Xiao Wu from the Bai family's kitchen.

Otherwise, given Xiao Jiu's idiotic mind, besides trying to please people by licking them, how could he have thought of bribing them with food?

Two years later, in Jiang Qi's yard, a snow-white wolfhound trotted along behind his son.

At this moment, the very old Xiao Wu was lying under the sunlit eaves, looking at the two little ones with loving eyes.

But the glass that was always with it was nowhere to be found.
I had a dog when I was a child, and I raised it for about four years. It was poisoned to death by a dog dealer. I cried my eyes out, and I've never owned a dog since.

Even now, when my son wants to keep a pet, I haven't agreed. So in the end, I changed my mind and kept a cockatiel instead, not for any other reason than that this kind of bird lives a long time.
