Chapter 1333: Stealing Food

In order to avoid the attention of the stray dogs, Zhang Zian made the drone climb higher. Because the dog’s hearing was very sensitive while people couldn’t hear the sound of the propeller, a dog could easily sense it. He flew it to the outskirts of the city, zoomed in and tried to capture an unobstructed view of what was happening on the ground.
This seemed to be a small-scale cooked food processing plant. The raw meat from other places was processed into various cooked food products here and then sold to all parts of the country.
The dogs were hiding in the corner and staring at a truck that had just stopped.
The truck door opened, and several staff members pushed a string of sausages out of the workshop line to the truck. They loaded up the truck, then prepared for further shipment.
The truck slowly filled up with sausages.
Perhaps the weather was hot, or perhaps the dogs were hungry for a treat; they all had their tongues out. They had a famished look on their faces but because there were people around, they wouldn’t dare to go and grab the food.
The team’s leader gave another dog a look. The other dog picked up on the signal and went from the back to the other side of the workshop. It was clear that this was not the first time they did this.
Boom!
Woof, woof!
Woof, woof!
“Oh! There are wild dogs!”
The other side of the workshop suddenly became chaotic. It seemed that the dog responsible for it was deliberately creating havoc by overturning something. In addition to that, it was barking loudly.
The staff members loading the truck were worried that their colleagues were in danger. They left the work at hand and rushed in to help.
The remaining terriers took advantage of this distraction and rushed to the side of the truck. Each dog pulled out a long string of sausages from the truck and ran away.
Zhang Zian was speechless. Stray dogs now know how to create distractions?
Vladimir shouted disdainfully, “That dog is indeed a wild one! What’s the difference between him and the thief who steals things? Look at us cats compared to them; we never take a single needle or money from the common man!”
Zhang Zian was speechless. You have no need to take needlework, huh?
The treatment of stray dogs in the suburbs certainly couldn’t be compared with the stray cats in the city. No one dared to feed stray dogs whilst they are in groups. Therefore, they could only find other ways to get food. If they wanted to have something good to eat, they could only get food by stealing.
After the dog responsible for the bluff was done with his job, he immediately turned and ran away. When the staff came back, they found that the sausages had already been stolen.
The local dogs thought they were successful. They feared that people would chase them and rushed away with the sausages in their mouths.
The dogs didn’t see the aftermath of their distraction, but Zhang Zian could guess from what he saw through the drones: The staff members were not mad at each other, but instead clapped each other on the backs with gloating smiles on their faces.
Their reaction was unexpected. Something else must have been going on. Zhang Zian immediately guessed that the sausages the dogs took away probably had extra ingredients in them.
Judging from the action of the dogs, this was not the first time they did such a thing. How could the humans in the cooked food processing plant be fooled again and again?
Although these dogs seemed to be smarter than ordinary dogs, they were simply no match compared to the crafty humans.
The long strings of sausages would be eaten, and they will likely take these dogs’ lives as well.
The car’s engine was still running. Zhang Zian immediately drove in the direction that the stray dogs took off in.
Regarding the group of the stray dogs, they were also very powerful. They were able to resist the temptation of the sausage. They would eat them only when they were far from the plant.
The car passed a direction sign, which read: Binhai City Landfill, two kilometers ahead.
Landfill?
Looking at the direction the team of dogs was running in, it was indeed the one indicated by the arrow on the sign. Does the elf lead the stray dogs to this landfill? Then that is a good place to hide.
As for why this elf was not detected by the game, the answer was not surprising. This was because when in the capital, Vladimir did something similar and relied on his own willpower to control when he appeared. This was because it had powers equivalent to a god. This elf’s powers were likely similar.
Sure enough, several stray dogs dragged the sausages into the landfill.
The landfill was huge, and the terrain was extremely complicated. Garbage pits and hills of varying sizes were everywhere. Without the assistance of drones, one could get lost going in.
Unsurprisingly, there were hundreds of stray dogs in the landfill. They were of different sizes and colors. Some were strolling whilst some searched for food. However, there was no fighting going on between them. When several dogs were together, it would be natural to think that they would fight often.
The elf that Zhang Zian and Vladimir were looking for must be a dog. There was no doubt about that, but there were so many dogs here. Which one was it?
He couldn’t search for it by pointing his mobile phone at every dog he passed by, could he?
He didn’t dare to leave the car. If ten dogs rushed toward him, let alone hundreds of dogs, they could tear him into pieces within mere seconds.
Vladimir also looked somewhat surprised. The strength of his opponent was beyond its expectations. They were all fierce bulldogs, not Teddy bear dogs or Chihuahuas.
Zhang Zian thought for a moment before maneuvering the drone to go lower. It reached a very low point, about twenty or thirty meters from the ground and slowly passed over the dogs.
He thought that if the elf saw the drone and reacted to it, then it would mean it was certainly different from the ordinary dogs.
The stray dogs heard the sound of the propellers and looked up at the silver drones. However, from observing their expressions, they appeared to be slightly weirded out and confused. They then realized that the drones did not pose a threat to them and continued to do their own thing. This was because there was often strange machinery being used in the landfills; they have already gotten used to it.
Not only did the stray dogs notice the drone, but the landfill workers manipulating large machinery did as well. They didn’t care much about it either, thinking that it was merely another toy of a rich second-generation person in China.
Zhang Zian patiently controlled the drone to perform an S-shaped sweep over the landfill, trying to get the attention of each dog.
At that moment, he saw the group of stray dogs with long strings of sausages in their mouths. They had stopped running as they met up with another group of dogs. They snorted and let go of the sausages.
The dogs they met up with were female dogs that had just given birth. There was a German Shepherd, a Mongrel and a Mastiff. There were also a lot of puppies around them. Some were waiting to be fed, while others did not even have their eyes completely open.
It turned out that these dogs were risking their lives to go to the cooked food processing farm to steal the sausages for these puppies. Instead of filling their own stomachs, they wanted to feed them to the female dogs who had just given birth. This was so that they could have clean food rather than soiled food that the other dogs would find in the garbage.
Although what they were doing was wrong, it felt as if their actions could be forgiven.
At the sight of this, even Vladimir was silent and did not speak.
At that moment, the lens of the drone suddenly caught the figure of a white Mongrel. It stood proudly on a garbage dump, looked out over the north, the direction of Binhai City, and spoke in a long and deep tone:
“The all-knowing has passed!”
“Yet the sorrows in my heart yearn for my fellow citizens!”
“When the army comes again…”
“Don’t forget to tell your elders!”
