Her vision was blurry and she couldn’t see clearly, so Jiang Ning took out her binoculars.
She saw two rubber boats with several men and women standing in them. Their holding some wooden forks and iron rods and they are constantly hitting the window sill extending from the fifth floor.
On the window sill stood a wet dog, baring its fangs and barking frantically at them.
“Hurry, kill it, and we’ll have meat to eat tonight.”
The men and women appeared extremely excited. They constantly swung their weapons, but the dog dodged in a panic, and it refused to admit defeat at all.
The natural disaster struck unexpectedly, catching everyone off guard. All the food was soaked in water, and many people are starved to death.
Now, seeing a dog, even if it’s skinny, can it not satisfy people’s hunger for a meal?
This is meat, who wouldn’t want it!
Everyone’s eyes glowed green, wishing they could devour it alive.
Jiang Ning didn’t want to intervene at first, but when she saw the dog’s face, her whole body trembled.
It was Coke!
This name was given by her.
Coke was abandoned by its owner and sold to a dog meat restaurant. When he was about to be slaughtered, he suddenly resisted, bit the owner, and escaped.”
With nowhere to go, he wandered near the university city. At times, he stays near the few snack shops across the street from the residential area, but most of the time, he’s driven away by the shop owners.
At that time, Jiang Ning was selling dog food. Every time she encountered it, she would sprinkle some dog food or throw a piece of ham sausage.
The only difference between a dog abandoned by its owner and a baby abandoned by its parents is that humans have orphanages, while stray dogs are doomed to be exterminated if they got caught.
At first, it was very cautious and resisted Jiang Ning’s approach. It wasn’t until she left and moved a good distance away that it decided to eat.
After gradually getting familiar. Although it was still wary and resistant. It would stick it’s head out from behind the tree and look at her secretly.
Later, she fell in love with Yang Weicong and she always tried her best to be close to him. She even give up her dog food business and after that she couldn’t even remember Coke anymore.
When they met again, it was during the coldest period.
Jiang Ning didn’t know how he had survived. Its fur had all fallen out, covered in pus filled frostbite, and it was so skinny that only its bones remained.
But even so, when she was being bullied by several thugs, it’s still rushed without hesitation and bit them crazily.
If it hadn’t lunged at them, the baseball bat would have smashed down on her head.
In order to protect her, Coke was beaten to death with clubs, but it never let go of the man’s wrist. He bite into it until it died.
She survived, but it was beaten to death, and it was cooked for food.
When she came back to life, she searched the area several times but couldn’t find any trace of it.
Thinking about it, how ridiculous it was that she poured her heart out to Yang Weicong, but he just watched as she was killed by demons.
And the stray dog she occasionally fed protected her with it’s life.
“Coke.”
Meeting again, Jiang Ning burst into tears.
Without any hesitation, she quickly drove the boat towards them, “Coke!”
The stubborn mastiff standing on the window sill brightened its eyes when it heard the voice and subconsciously looked over.
It was distracted for a moment and was struck heavily by a club and let out a mournful scream.
It turned it’s head, jumped towards the attacker, and started biting madly.
The rubber boat rocked violently as Coke tore at the attacker’s body, and the people nearby came to help, and sticks flew down one after another.
It dodged left and right and jumped nimbly.
Instead, the stick fell on the person who was bitten, letting out a shrill wail.
The other rubber boat came over, but because the water flow was too strong to control, the two rubber boats collided, and two people who hadn’t stood firm fell into the water, “Ah, help, save me…”
Before they could recover, Coke jumped up and rushed toward the oncoming rubber boat.
The mastiff had strong jumping ability and it can directly knocked down the person…
After just a few rounds, three people had fallen into the water, and the other two were successfully bitten.
One person pulled out a knife and stabbed fiercely at it.
Jiang Ning drove the motorboat over and knocked the rubber boat. At the same time, she swiftly turned around, “Coke.”
With a powerful push of its front and back legs, Coke’s skinny body jumped three or four meters away and landed steadily on Jiang Ning’s motorboat.
The engine roared, and the water splashed everywhere.
By the time they struggled to climb onto the rubber boat, there was no trace of the motorboat anymore.
The sky was gloomy, and they couldn’t even see the woman’s face clearly.
They didn’t manage to eat the dog meat, and several people were injured. Damn unlucky!
Everyone kept swearing.
The motorboat rushed into the residential area and stopped under the building. Jiang Ning’s vision was blurred by the rain. She eagerly reached out to hug Coke, but Coke retreated, it’s eyes were full of vigilance and wariness.
It was in very bad condition, its mouth was bleeding, most of its fur had fallen off, and there were many scattered scars.
It can be seen that this is not the first time that he has been surrounded by humans like this today.
In the apocalypse, in order to survive, there was nothing they couldn’t do.
Not to mention stray dogs, before the typhoon, there were many people in the residential area who kept their pets. The pet owners treated their pets better than themselves. But now, where are they?
Jiang Ning dared not think about how it had survived during this time.
“Coke, don’t be afraid,” Jiang Ning tried to comfort it. “From now on, we’ll be together, and as long as I have something to eat, you won’t go hungry.”
However, it still kept it’s distance from her, without relaxing its guard at all.
Jiang Ning didn’t even have the chance to get close, let alone touch it.
After some thought, she took out some sausages from her bag, tore open the packaging, and threw them over.
Even though it was tempted by the delicious food, the hungry Coke remained cautious. It slowly approached, sniffed, then swallowed it down in one gulp, and continued to stare at her.
Jiang Ning tore ten sausages before she could barely touch its head.
Despite her inviting gesture, Coke wasn’t willing. It wanted to jump into the flood and swim away.
Stray dogs not only had a strong sense of vigilance but also had a decent level of intelligence. It knew very well that this was human territory, and if it went in, it would end up in a cooking pot.
Those foolish fellows ended up like that!
After finally finding it, Jiang Ning couldn’t let it leave. She quickly took out a chicken leg.
Pulling out the dog food from her backpack again, she showed it to Coke. “Coke, as long as you follow me, you’ll never go hungry again.”
The dog food was scavenged from the supermarket. At that time, she was racing against the floodwaters, grabbing whatever she could find, and she only discovered the dog food and pet canned food were mixed in when she cleaned up later.
She couldn’t bear to throw them away. She’s thinking of using them to feed rabbits by mixing them into their feed.
Unexpectedly, it turned out that they were meant for Coke.
Coke’s eyes were fixed on the dog food bag, as if lost in some kind of memory.
Jiang Ning held the dog food bag, and when it heard the sound, saliva dripped from it’s mouth.
Finally, it gave in.
Jiang Ning successfully brought it ashore, her hardened heart was melting like chocolate, becoming smooth and sweet.
In this filthy apocalypse, she finally no longer walked alone in the darkness. She found a companion she could rely on through life and death.
“Wow, a dog, there’s a dog!”
“Grandma, I want to eat dog meat.”
