The reborn policewoman's dog solves numerous major cases, shocking the nation.

Chapter 119: Foreseeing a natural disaster in the future?

"Director Zhang... Director Zhang..."

Director Wang stammered, "This...this dog...oh no, this 'No Demolition' comrade, is...is what it said true?"

Director Zhang did not answer. He stared intently into Chu Sheng's calm, yet seemingly profoundly meaningful blue eyes, his heart churning with turbulent emotions.

Reason was screaming at him: This is unscientific! This is impossible! This is utter nonsense!
But what had just happened was relentlessly lashing at his reason: You're talking to me about science?
Is it scientifically possible for one dog to lead a dozen or so dogs across provinces for tracking purposes?!
He was caught in an unprecedented internal struggle!
As the director, he knew all too well how terrible the consequences of a single wrong decision could be!

"Is it possible that it smelled some special gas escaping from underground?"

Director Zhang attempted to use his limited knowledge to find a relatively scientific explanation for this "miracle".

"Or... did they sense infrasound, which is imperceptible to us humans?"

The experts around him also fell silent. They were criminal investigation experts, not geologists, and this issue was beyond their knowledge.

After a fierce internal struggle, Director Zhang decided to seek help from professionals.

He took a deep breath, took out his phone, found a number, and dialed it.

"Hey, is this Lao Zhou? This is Lao Zhang. I have something to ask you, and you have to tell me the truth." He turned on the speakerphone so that everyone around could hear.

On the other end of the phone came Professor Zhou's slightly languid voice, the chief expert of the Provincial Earthquake Bureau: "Hey, Lao Zhang, what brings you here? Did you solve your big case? Want to treat me to dinner?"

"We'll talk about dinner later!" Director Zhang's tone was extremely serious. "I'm asking you, is it possible for animals to predict an earthquake with remarkable accuracy, more than ten hours in advance?"

Professor Zhou paused for a moment on the other end, then burst into hearty laughter.

"Hahaha! Old Zhang, are you still half asleep? Or have you been reading too much science fiction? More than ten hours in advance? And so precisely?"

"Let me tell you, this is absolutely impossible! This is complete pseudoscience! Our earthquake bureau debunks this kind of claim every day!"

Professor Zhou cleared his throat and said in a popular science tone, "It is true that animals can predict earthquakes, but that's because they can sense the infrasound generated by changes in ground stress before an earthquake, or subtle anomalies in the geomagnetic field."

"But these precursors usually only appear a few minutes before an earthquake, at most half an hour before! And they are extremely faint, making accurate prediction impossible!"

"Let alone animals, even with our current technology, using the entire national monitoring network and our country's most powerful supercomputer for modeling and analysis, we can only improve the warning time from a dozen seconds to several tens of seconds at most!"

"You're telling me it's more than ten hours ahead? What animal can be that powerful? I've never heard of it since the beginning of time! This completely violates known physical laws and biological principles!"

Hearing the expert's authoritative explanation, which was so decisive and even somewhat mocking, Director Zhang's heart sank deeper and deeper.

Yes, that's not scientifically sound.

He slowly hung up the phone, looked up at the husky whose expression was still solemn, with a hint of helplessness in its eyes that seemed to say, "You stupid humans." In the end, the scales of his heart tipped towards reason and reality.

He cannot gamble his future and the social stability of the entire Suiming Province on a vague "miracle"!
"Sigh..." He let out a long sigh, his face filled with exhaustion and helplessness. He made what he believed to be the safest and most rational decision.

He shook his head and ordered Director Wang beside him, "Take all these criminals back first! Organize a crack team to interrogate them tonight! Make sure to dig out every detail!"

"As for... as for the earthquake," he paused, then added, "Notify the provincial earthquake bureau and meteorological bureau to activate the highest level of monitoring plan, and have them monitor the data 24 hours a day! Report to me immediately if there are any abnormalities!"

"We must not issue any warnings or take any rash actions before we have conclusive scientific evidence, so as not to cause unnecessary social panic!"

This decision can be described as watertight, demonstrating both the importance attached to the "no demolition" warning and adherence to the bottom line of science and procedure.

The other leaders and police officers present also nodded in approval, feeling that the director's handling of the matter was very prudent.

However, Chu Sheng was speechless as he watched them ultimately choose not to believe them, and even felt a little like laughing.

"Well, I knew it would turn out like this."

"Explaining things beyond the comprehension of a group of carbon-based beings whose minds are imprisoned by fixed ideas is harder than catching a hundred criminals!"

He had fulfilled his obligation to remind them, but since the other party wouldn't listen, there was nothing he could do.

But just then...

[Ding! Major crisis detected, triggering S-level emergency mission: Race against natural disaster!!]

[Mission Objective: Rescue all potentially affected residents in the Suiming Mountain area (estimated number: 4235)!]

[Mission Rewards: Howling Hound Bloodline Awakening Progress +15%! Random Ultimate Evolution of Existing Skill Once!]

[Mission failed: No penalty. However, the host will have to watch thousands of lives perish in the natural disaster, turning to dust...]

"This……"

Chu Sheng looked at the outrageously generous reward, then at the cold and jarring description of the consequences of failure, and his expression gradually became complicated.

Screw science!
Screw the program!
Fine! You bunch of two-legged beasts are hesitant and afraid to take responsibility, then I'll take that responsibility!

I'm determined to save these thousands of lives!
He glanced intently at the police officers who were still busy escorting prisoners and were no longer paying much attention to him, their "great hero," and said no more unnecessary words.

He turned around and let out a deep, powerful roar at the dozen or so elite squads that had been waiting behind him for a long time!

"Woof! (Attention all! Mission changed! Return to Handong! Shake the dogs!)"

This time, it's not a problem that can be solved with just a dozen elite dogs!
The Suiming Mountain area is characterized by high mountains, dense forests, and scattered villages. The task was to locate and evacuate more than 4,000 people in just over ten hours.

Relying solely on those dozen or so dogs is nothing short of a pipe dream!
He needs his three hundred hound guards!

He needs a race against death, a desperate rescue operation involving a thousand people!

Although the members of the elite squad didn't know what had happened, the king's orders were everything!
Without the slightest hesitation, they immediately turned around and followed Chu Sheng's steps, like a group of shadows blending into the night, silently disappearing outside the factory.
