Dare to shirk responsibility? This adorable little one will tear down your military district!

In the apocalypse, mutant dogs are more reliable allies than humans.

As long as you're stronger than it, give it a bite to eat, and it'll risk its life for you. Unlike humans, who, even after they've had their fill, will still plot to stab you in the back.

Meng Yaya grabbed Gu Changfeng's collar and pointed in the direction of the barbed wire: "Dad, I want to go play over there."

Gu Changfeng's expression changed, and he grabbed her fidgeting little body with his large hand: "No. That's a restricted area. The dogs there eat raw meat and even bite strangers, not like our family's Dahuang."

"I'm not afraid." Meng Yaya twisted her body like a disobedient eel. "I'll just take one look."

"You can't even look at her, or I'll scare you into having nightmares tonight." Gu Changfeng's attitude was firm, and he picked her up and started to walk towards the cafeteria.

Lei Zhentian, who had been silent until now, suddenly became interested. He recalled the fierceness with which the girl had thrown the new recruits earlier, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Changfeng, take her there." Lei Zhentian said slowly, his hands behind his back. "It would be a joke if the kids in our military region were afraid of a few dogs. Besides, with a handler there, nothing will happen."

With the Commander-in-Chief giving the order, Gu Changfeng had no choice but to obey. He sighed, hugged Meng Yaya tighter, his muscles tense, ready to leap up and rescue her at any moment.

The group arrived at the main gate of the military dog ​​base.

Before even entering, the stench of fish and the incessant barking assaulted my senses.

Inside the barbed wire fence, a dozen German Shepherds were lying in front of their cages. When they saw strangers approaching, they bared their teeth and made threatening "huffing" sounds in their throats.

In the very center of the open space, a dark-skinned trainer was tightly gripping a large black-backed dog.

The dog was almost as tall as a person when it stood up. Its fur was black and shiny, and its eyes were gleaming with ferocity. It was barking wildly at the door, and the iron chain around its neck was taut, pulling the trainer so hard that he staggered.

"Sir! Don't come any closer!" the trainer shouted, sweating profusely. "Blackwind is in heat today, she's extremely aggressive and will bite anyone!"

Gu Changfeng paused, then turned to leave, saying, "It's too dangerous, let's go back."

"Put me down," Meng Yaya patted Gu Changfeng's shoulder and insisted.

Gu Changfeng didn't move.

Meng Yaya sighed and whispered in his ear, "Dad, if you don't put me down, I'll tell Mom about how you secretly hid your money under the insole last night."

Gu Changfeng's body stiffened.

While he was distracted, Meng Yaya slid down his trouser leg to the ground.

She straightened her little floral jacket, put on her tiger-head shoes, and walked step by step toward the raging "black wind".

"Come back!" Gu Changfeng exclaimed in alarm and reached out to grab him.

"Don't move." Lei Zhentian grabbed Gu Changfeng's wrist, his eyes fixed intently ahead. "Look at that dog."

Gu Changfeng suddenly looked up.

The kennel, which had been barking incessantly, suddenly fell silent.

The silence was eerie, like a mute button had been pressed.

Meng Yaya stood in front of the iron gate, looking up at the dog king named "Black Wind" through a railing.

She didn't speak or make any movements; she simply looked quietly into its eyes.

But in the unseen perception of ordinary people, a terrifying pressure that had rolled through mountains of corpses and seas of blood overflowed from the body of this three-year-old child, pressing straight down on the group of beasts.

That was the murderous aura accumulated from killing countless mutated beasts, the gaze from the top of the food chain.

"Waaah..."

Just moments ago, Black Wind was a ferocious beast that seemed ready to devour people. Suddenly, it tucked its tail between its legs, its two pointed ears drooped down, and its massive body shrank back uncontrollably, even emitting a whimpering sound like a puppy begging for mercy.

The handler was dumbfounded. The leash in his hand hung loosely on the ground, and he couldn't believe his eyes. This was the fiercest dog in the entire military region, capable of killing even wolves, how could it be so timid in front of a baby?

"Open the door," Meng Yaya said, pointing to the iron gate.

The trainer instinctively looked at Lei Zhentian, who nodded.

The iron gate opened.

Meng Yaya swaggered in, ignoring the military dogs huddled in the corners trembling, and walked straight up to Hei Feng.

Black Wind lay prone on the ground, his head pressed against the earth, his whole body trembling slightly, in a completely submissive posture.

"He's quite big, but he's timid," Meng Yaya commented disdainfully.

She reached into the yellow backpack she was carrying and rummaged around in it.

Using his schoolbag as cover, he pulled out a large cow bone, still with meat attached, from his storage space.

The bone had been soaked in the spiritual spring water of the space and absorbed the spiritual energy of the space. As soon as that special fragrance came out, all the dogs in the base twitched their noses.

Black Wind suddenly raised its head, drool instantly streaming down its face, the fear it had felt moments before being overwhelmed by an instinctive desire.

It can smell that this is good stuff. Good stuff that will make you stronger if you eat it.

"Want to eat?" Meng Yaya shook the bone in her hand, which was thicker than her arm.

"Woof!" Black Wind barked ingratiatingly, its tail wagging like a propeller.

"Sit still."

Black Wind immediately sat up straight, its front paws together, even more upright than when it stood at attention in basic training.

"hand."

Black Wind raised a huge claw and gently placed it on Meng Yaya's chubby little hand, even holding back its strength to avoid scratching her with its claws.

Meng Yaya nodded in satisfaction and tossed the bone into the air.

Black Wind leaped up and caught the bone precisely. After landing, it didn't rush to eat it. Instead, it ran to Meng Yaya's feet with the bone in its mouth, lay down, and rubbed its head against Meng Yaya's trouser leg while gnawing on it.

This isn't a vicious military dog ​​at all; it's clearly a clingy, shameless scoundrel.

Meng Yaya took out a few smaller bones from her bag. These were leftovers from Lin Wanrou's soup, which she also kept in her spatial storage.

"Everyone gets a share."

She was like a generous spender, throwing bones into the cages all around her.

For a moment, the only sounds in the entire base were the crunching of bones and the whooshing of a pack of dogs wagging their tails at Meng Yaya.

The trainer stood bewildered in the wind. He had been feeding this bunch of troublemakers for three years, and he still didn't have the same respect as a newborn baby he had just met.

Lei Zhentian strode over, looked at Meng Yaya who was putting her hand into Hei Feng's mouth to check his teeth, and couldn't help but burst into laughter: "Good! Good little monster! You can even tame a beast!"

Gu Changfeng finally came to his senses, his shirt soaked with cold sweat. Looking at his daughter's practiced movements, his doubts deepened, but he felt an even stronger sense of pride.

This girl, just like him. A born soldier.

"Dad, this dog is nice." Meng Yaya patted Hei Feng's big head. "I want to take it for a walk."

"No, these are military dogs, they're on the official payroll." The trainer instinctively refused.

"Take it away!" Lei Zhentian waved his hand. "As long as you can control it, all the dogs in the base are at your command!"

With the imperial edict in hand, Meng Yaya was overjoyed.

She untied the iron chain around Black Wind's neck and held it in her hand.

"Come on, Black Wind." Meng Yaya tugged at the chain. "I'll take you for a walk in the back mountain to digest your food."

Black Wind, with the half-eaten beef bone dangling from its mouth, followed closely behind Meng Yaya.

The scene was extremely comical.

A tiny little girl, leading a fierce dog that was taller than her when it stood up, swaggered out of the base gate.

Gu Changfeng followed behind helplessly, acting as a bodyguard.

Lei Zhentian watched their retreating figures and said to the guard beside him, "Go and investigate this girl's affairs in Mengjia Village. Such a promising talent, could she really be some kind of reincarnated deity?"

It was midday, and the sun was scorching.

Meng Yaya led the dog, not towards the main road, but instead deliberately chose to venture into secluded groves.

She sensed something was off about Black Wind while she was at the base. After eating the spirit spring bone, the dog's senses had been amplified several times over; it had been snorting its nose towards the back mountain the whole time.

There's something there.

And it was something that even this military dog, who had seen blood, found exciting.

"Black Wind," Meng Yaya stopped under a large poplar tree and lowered her voice, "Did you smell rats?"

Black Wind spat out the bone from its mouth, and its black nose twitched twice.

Suddenly, its fur stood on end, a low growl came from its throat, and its eyes were fixed on a clump of bushes to its right.

That place is the edge of a restricted area on the back mountain of the military region, where even villagers gathering firewood are not allowed to enter.

Meng Yaya squinted her eyes.

She loosened the chain on her hand, a cold smile curving her lips.

"Go, catch the rat."
