Blue Star Survival Project: Animal Edition

Shengcun was awakened by the cold rain.

It was already dark, and the air was filled with the smell of thick rain.The storm on the sea has not yet arrived, and these patters of light rain are just the calm before the storm.

Sheng Cun moved a bit, the sequelae of the drug had not subsided, his limbs were soft, and there was a stinging sensation like ants crawling.

"Wang! Wang!"

He looked up to the sky and screamed, trying to call his companions.

No reply.But it's no wonder, he ate the least ham sausage, and his body was the strongest, even he fell into a coma until night, the other dogs must have not woken up yet.

correct!Puppy...

The ugly sack appeared in front of his eyes, and Sheng Cun shivered like an electric shock. After a long time, the uncooked rice must have turned into cooked rice long ago...

The shack was blurred in the rain, Shengcun propped up his soft limbs, and staggered towards it.

The rain came strangely.

Sheng Cun walked on the sandy ground with his head down, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong,

The footprints left by the old man on the beach have long since disappeared, and the smell left behind has also been washed away by the rain. When the black and white flower wakes up, all traces will be erased. Its beloved puppy is like Just disappeared out of thin air.

If this is the case, the IQ of the dog group is not enough to find revenge on the old man. Could it be that the black and white flower who lost her beloved son went crazy and directly attacked the surrounding residents indiscriminately?Otherwise, how to explain the dog extermination operation three days later?

But here is so close to the school, there are really mad dogs biting people, why didn't the school security office even notify...

A rain that falls in the middle of the night will naturally not leave any traces in memory.Sheng Cun tried his best to remember for a long time, but he was still not sure whether it existed in the previous timeline.

He raised his legs and stepped boldly into the shed.

Black and White Hua remained motionless in the posture of embracing the puppies, but her arms were empty.

But at least the dog is still alive, and the old man's conscience is not all gone.Seeing the evenly rising and falling belly of black and white flowers, Shengcun finally felt a little lucky.

It is an unforgivable mistake not to predict the poisoning of an acquaintance, but such a consistent method and such frequent crimes definitely have something to do with the hot pot restaurant!

He lay on the ground, regained his strength briefly, then turned around and ran towards the hot pot restaurant.

Sheng Cun quickly sorted out his thoughts. This kind of puppies seemed to be a special offering for some customers with strange tastes. After getting the "goods", they should not be slaughtered immediately. The puppies can still be saved!

But I don't know if they will be abused or something... The cubs who are just a few days old are so fragile, can such black-hearted traders survive...

He felt a pang of heartache.

The pedestrian street is empty, and the quiet road is only filled with the sound of "slapping" footsteps.

The hot pot restaurant was pitch black, Sheng Cun stood up, and pulled at the iron door—it was locked and could not be opened.

He turned his head to look for the window—there was a layer of iron railings inside the glass window, which could be described as impregnable.

Naturally, there is no dog hole. As for the vent... Sheng Cun weighed his tall body with his head down, and decided to give up this idea.

"Wang Ou~Ou~"

He tentatively called out, then pricked up his ears to listen.

There is no response inside.But this was also within his expectation, Black and White Flower ate so many ham sausages smeared with medicine, and the cubs drank its milk, maybe they were also poisoned.

So Shengcun could only lie at the door, put the tip of his nose into the crack of the door, and struggled to find his cubs in the pungent smell of spices.

Very good, there is no fresh blood smell, the inference is correct...huh?

A faint smell of milk floated into Shengcun's nostrils. Why does the kitchen in the hot pot restaurant have milk?Is it for the cubs to drink?Sheng Cun lifted his spirits and moved forward a few millimeters.

The source of the smell was hidden in that corner, and before he was about to be overwhelmed by these messy smells, Shengcun finally caught a trace of the familiar fishy smell mixed with the smell of milk.

? !

The smell molecules left with one blow, and disappeared into the air in an instant, so fast that he wondered if this was his hallucination.

"Oooohoo!"

Sheng Cun excitedly pulled at the iron gate, wishing he could jump in and get the cubs out now.

But not now.Even if they are human beings, they can't get their dog back if they are taken away, not to mention that Shengcun is only a dog now, if he rushes in rashly, the whole family will probably have to confess here.

Wait, wait until the store opens tomorrow, and find a chance to report him.

Sheng lived in the rain, his mind was cleared up by the bursts of cold air, he calmly crouched at the door until the sky turned pale.

"Bangdang."

The door of the kitchen was opened, and the catering business needed to start preparations early, and the sound of water flowing quickly came from the kitchen.

If the poisoning is not deep, it is almost time for the pups to wake up.

Sheng Cun pricked up his ears, not wanting to miss any movement.

"It's been a night, and the milk on the plate hasn't been touched?"

He heard the boss's voice, followed by a soft "click", like the sound of an iron cage being opened.

"Woo! Woooo!"

There were soft screams, and the puppies were probably awakened by violence, howling loudly, as if wondering why they woke up in a strange place.

Sheng Cun's heart is twisted, but he can't act rashly until the boss's strike date is confirmed.

"Look at these skinny ones, it's really a bit of a loss to buy them for 50."

After a while of dull footsteps, the cook's voice sounded.

"They made a reservation for the weekend, and the time is too short to keep them fat. Fortunately, there are 4 of them, which should be enough..."

Sheng Cun could imagine the scene of two people lifting the puppies' hind legs and poking their greasy fingers around their small bodies, just like a butcher weighing the meat on the chopping board.

The cub's intuition seemed to have sensed the uneasiness instinctively, and the cub's screams became more and more shrill.

Today is Friday, and there are only two days before the weekend at most.According to the agreement, if the puppy is killed, the task will also fail.

time is limited……

Shengcun made some calculations and decided to implement the plan he thought up last night.

"Hey, according to what you said at the beginning, the source of all this is the hunting of stray dogs?"

Before starting, there are a few things he wants to confirm.

"What do you want to ask?"

There was a bit of seriousness in the system's tone.

"It's not a big problem, I guess, the reason for this culling should be that stray dogs hurt people, and it has something to do with this litter of cubs, right?"

"..."

The system is silent.

It wasn't expected to answer anyway.Sheng Cun continued on his own: "So I want to ask—if I can save the cubs this time, can the culling be avoided? Can my mission...can be ended early?"

After a long silence, the system's voice sounded again: "What do you mean?"

"I have a plan." Sheng Cun said slowly, "I'm [-]% sure that I can get it done once and for all, but I need your cooperation in the last step to turn me back into a human in advance."

"You are cheating!"

The system screamed, categorically rejecting it.

"Listen to me, this does not violate your principle of non-intervention. I just overdrawn the customs clearance reward in advance. If you still judge the mission to fail in the end, you can just get my soul out."

Sheng Cun had expected that the system would not agree easily, so he quickly argued.

The rain last night was not in vain, Sheng Cun thought hard all night, and found that he was actually small.

Deviations occur at several points in succession without any indication from the system.This is also the case for the previous few missions, setting up a mission to change one's life against the sky, and then leaving it alone, letting him torment.

So he made a bold guess—this system, perhaps more like an observer, is testing what kind of waves a soul that shouldn't exist here can make in time and space.

Therefore, no matter what he does, the system will not stop him, let alone try to correct the increasingly biased plot.

If this is the case... If this is the case, then the system will not care whether the timeline is advanced or not. The more deviant the plot, the more interested it will be.

He is like a little white mouse, running around in the maze set by the system, the only motivation is the food at the end.

In the experiment, if a mouse finds a shortcut and directly bites through the obstacles of the maze, its behavior will not be stopped, but will become a new result and be recorded in the experiment report.

If the system is also an experimenter and finds that he is about to jump out of the maze, he will not refuse it either.

Shengcun decided to take a gamble. It was a real gamble of his life, but he was quite sure that he could win.

There was another long silence, and the system finally replied: "Okay, I promise you."

His tone was calm, and he didn't want to say another word.

Plan the first step, success!

Sheng Cun secretly chuckled.He took his long legs and returned to West Beach.

The black-and-white flower has not yet woken up, and the two brothers, the schnauzer and the yellow dog on the coast, are also still asleep.If the medicinal effect of half a ham sausage lasts for more than half a day, then they should not be able to wake up before tonight.

Sheng Cun arched the black and white flower, its body swayed weakly twice, without any response.

Dog packs, especially Friesians who have lost their pups, can be extremely destabilizing, and sleep is best done this way.

Go to sleep, I'll take care of this matter.

Sheng Cun took a last look at his companions who had been with him for a few days. If the plan went well, this would be the last time he saw them in dog form.

Then he turned and ran towards the school.

In the second step of the plan, human existence is an essential role.

It is still very early, and there are very few pedestrians on the road. This is not a good time.

Shengcun waited patiently. It was a good time to fish in troubled waters when the people in the hot pot restaurant were too busy to touch the ground at noon.

Around 11:30, human beings appeared in front of the dormitory building, walking towards the cafeteria.

It's now!

Sheng Cun jumped up from the grass lying in wait, wagging his tail and ran towards the figure.

"Yo, rhubarb is here again?"

After coming and going, human Shengcun has let down his vigilance and squatted down very familiarly.

Sheng Cun pretended to be intimate after a long absence, and threw his front paws desperately towards the person, as if inadvertently, bumped into a hard object in his trouser pocket.

is a cell phone.

If you take your own mobile phone, is that considered stealing? ——Of course not, this is called returning things to their original owners!

While cheering himself up, Shengcun secretly tensed his muscles, and arched forward with all his might——

The unsuspecting human fell to the ground, Shengcun took the opportunity to tilt his head, skillfully pulled the phone out of his pocket, picked it up and ran away.

Important props for the plan: mobile phone, get.

"***, how dare you steal other people's mobile phones!"

For college students, if they lose their mobile phones, their sense of security can directly become a negative number.Soon, a string of beautiful Chinese words came from behind, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps, and the innocent ground suffered the anger that did not belong to it.

Sheng Cun ran ahead unhurriedly. The security booth noticed the commotion here, but apparently hadn't understood the situation yet. When passing through the school gate, Sheng Cun shook his head in front of them.

It is still during the closure of the school, but chasing a dog that stole your mobile phone is a reason to leave school that is likely to succeed.

"What's that biting on the dog's mouth?"

"Hand...mobile phone?"

The two guards looked at each other, as if hesitating whether to chase after them.

"Don't run! Put your phone down!"

Human Shengcun quickly chased after him. After making gestures and gestures with the guards excitedly, he and one of the guards rushed out of the school gate in a flanking formation.

But in terms of speed, how can a two-legged man compare to a four-legged dog? Sheng Cun ran ahead, leaving only a distant figure behind them, running all the way to the direction of West Beach.

"It went to West Beach, there are many dogs there. Wait, I'll go back to get the baton"

The guard and Human Shengcun stood in front of the residential area. The West Beach was so big that it was easy for them to find it.

However, Xitan was just a cover, after throwing them away, Shengcun made a detour and prepared to go to the hot pot restaurant.

I don't know how long this delay can last. A few black and white flowers are a time bomb, so it's better to make a quick decision.

Seeing the door of the back kitchen of the hot pot restaurant, Shengcun skillfully dodged and hid in the nearby bushes.

He put the phone on the ground, fumbled to turn on the screen with his fluffy dog ​​paw, and took a lot of effort to enter the power-on password.

Why, I wanted to set a letter + number and 8-digit password at that time. Hey!He was cursing while struggling to delete the wrongly touched characters.

Finally, everything is ready.Sheng Cun picked up the phone again, turned on the recording, and moved slowly against the wall.

According to last night's intelligence, the puppies were locked in the kitchen with a small window next to it.

Shengcun stood on his hind legs and gently placed the phone on the window sill.

"Wang bang! Wang bang!"

Having done all this, he roared and rushed into the kitchen.

"Where did the dead dog come from... It ran into it!"

There was a mess in the kitchen, and the cook picked up the kitchen knife and followed.

... Being a dog is really too dangerous!

Sheng Cun tried his best to ignore the cold light reflected from the knife edge, and stood in front of the cage where the puppies were kept, grinning.

The smell in the cage was old and complicated, and many smells of the same kind could be vaguely distinguished. This iron cage became the last stop of their wandering life.

For dogs, there is a chill here, just like a "ghost house" for humans.The little paparazzi, who had been frightened all night, seemed to feel the familiar warmth, and eagerly barked.

The goal has not been achieved, and it seems that the relationship should be made more obvious.

Sheng Cun took a break from his busy schedule, turned his head away, and licked the cubs affectionately.

"Where did the scavenger catch the dog? How did the big dog follow?"

The cook was already very busy, but he was in a bad mood when he was interrupted like this, and his voice became a little louder.

"Keep your voice down, don't let the guests outside hear you, and get rid of this dog quickly!"

The boss who heard the movement came from the front hall, holding a strip-shaped object in his hand.

Blowpipe...well, a hot pot restaurant, really well-equipped.

But he's got what he wants, and it's time to retreat.

Sheng Cun narrowed his eyes, and slowly grinned the corners of his mouth, showing a mocking smile, but accidentally widened the arc, baring his sharp canine teeth.

"Be careful, it wants to bite!"

The cook nervously held the handle of the knife, kicked Sheng Cun's hind legs, and his body was ejected like a spring. He rushed to the door in three steps and walked away.

"Hey, System 007, don't forget what you said today!"

When the human being Sheng Cun appeared in sight, Sheng Cun shouted: "Change it back!"

"So that's how it is..."

The system thought about it, and quickly took action.

A white light flashed in front of his eyes, and the next second, Shengcun's perspective suddenly rose.

He stretched out his hands slowly, and saw flexible fingers that belonged to humans.

Really... changed back?

The happiness came too suddenly, Shengcun's eye sockets were a little sore.

"what happened to you?"

The security guard next to him noticed his suddenly froze body and asked in doubt.

"It's okay... I saw it, let's chase it!"

The task is not over yet, now is not the time to be emotional.Shengcun ran away, he hadn't run with two legs for a long time, he even staggered a few times.

"Hey - slow down, where is it? Why didn't I see it?"

The security guard yelled after him.

Sheng Cun came to the hot pot restaurant first, retrieved the mobile phone from the window sill, checked the recording, and heard the two key sentences clearly.

It's better to have security guards, and the finishing work can be smoother, but I don't know if I leave school without a reason, will I be punished after returning...

Sheng Cun took a deep breath and shook his phone at the security guard: "I found it. It was thrown on the road here. The dog was scared and ran away."

If you think about it carefully, there are obviously loopholes in this statement, but the security guy obviously doesn't care about it, he showed a simple and honest smile: "It doesn't matter, as long as you find it."

"But brother, I probably know why that dog came here..."

Sheng Cun said while walking into the kitchen.

The boss is busy, still muttering something in his mouth.Seeing Shengcun walking in rashly, he immediately put on a vigilant expression: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Sheng Cun showed a harmless smile: "Hello, Uncle, those puppies that are new to your shop actually have owners."

"..."

The boss' face changed, but he remained silent, and the puppies in the back room barked a few times at the right time.

"What are you talking about? Could it be...those are the cubs of big yellow dogs?"

The security guy followed in, apparently aroused by his curiosity.

Sheng Cun nodded, and whispered in his ear: "I'm from the school's animal welfare club. I've been observing the situation of stray dogs around the school. Look at these puppies. Does the yellow one look like rhubarb?"

"Indeed..." The security guy nodded in agreement, and then thought of something, "Then why are you in a hot pot restaurant?"

"Well... I don't know, this is asking."

Shengcun shrugged, looked at the boss, and said sincerely: "This dog really has an owner, where did you come from..."

"I bought it from someone else, don't talk nonsense!"

The boss rolled his eyes and scolded sharply.

"How much? I can buy them back."

One more thing is worse than one less thing. Let's save the dog first.

He was staring at the boss, with the intention of pestering him endlessly.Perhaps what happened just now was a bit weird, the boss rolled his eyes guiltyly, and said, "300, you can buy it back."

"300! Four little dogs for 300?"

The security guard stopped Sheng Cun, "Don't listen to him, isn't this a scam!"

"Okay, deal!"

Sheng Cun gritted his teeth, still with a polite smile on his face, and quickly paid the money.

"Didi! Congratulations on completing the mission and getting the No.1 title of 'Blue Star Survival Plan' clearance! The system is very happy to serve you, thank you very much for your cooperation, goodbye!"

At the moment when the deal was concluded, Sheng Cun heard the last sentence from the system.

Finally... Is it over... He felt in a daze.

The puppies used their chubby paws to grab the railing of the iron cage. Shengcun stretched out his hand and stroked their fluffy heads gently. The soft touch of the palm reminded him: this time, he really came back to life.

"This dead profiteer! Sigh... Forget it, let's treat it as 300 life money,"

He walked down the street with the cage in his arms, endured the sympathetic gaze of the security guy, and cursed fiercely in his heart.

"Are you going to send the puppy back? What a kind person."

"Yeah." Sheng Cun replied.

He didn't know why, but he always felt that the security guard's compliments had a weird feeling.

The next thing was very simple, Shengcun put on gloves, cleaned the human breath from the pup, and sent it back to Black and White Hua while the real big yellow dog was looking for food outside.

When they wake up, it's as if nothing happened. As for whether the big yellow dog can become a qualified father...that's none of his business.

The second thing Sheng Cun did when he went back was to report the food safety issues of the hot pot restaurant to the Health Bureau.The recording stored in the mobile phone is the evidence. A month later, the door of the hot pot restaurant was sealed.

Sheng Cun returned to Xitan after the lockdown was lifted, but as expected, he was chased and bitten and fled.These guys are still as energetic as ever.

He met an old man who collected waste on the road, and I heard that he never went to West Beach again.

"Black and white peanuts gave birth to four puppies, don't you really want to go and see them?"

He saw the old man's eyes flicker, from surprise to guilt, and finally, he lowered his eyes: "No, it's better not to go..."

One night, Shengcun had a dream.

In the dream, it was windy and windy, and a small tricycle was galloping on the road, splashing water from the wheels.

In the car was a puppy who had just been born, and they wanted to use this as bait to lure the big dog out and kill it in one fell swoop.

The mother dog is nearby, and it wants to rush forward countless times, but the instinctive sense of crisis tells it: it is not possible now.

A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and thunder exploded in my ears.The rain was getting heavier, hanging in the rain curtain between the sky and the earth, and the visibility was less than 5 meters.

The cubs exposed to the wind and rain were cold and frightened, and screamed heart-piercingly.

Can't wait any longer, the kids need me!

The mother dog leaps up, and just crosses the road to reach her children——

"squeak--"

A small car driving through the rain found a black shadow in front of it, and slammed the steering wheel to avoid it, but it was too late.

The wheels rolled over, and the crooked rear of the car slammed into the sidewalk trees heavily.

"What, it's raining so much, why is this dog running around?"

The owner of the car was obviously relieved to find that the person hit was not a person.soon.The car restarted and disappeared into the rain curtain.

The root system of the sycamore tree is shallow, and it is barely able to withstand the typhoon.Being hit by a car like this is even more precarious.

A pedestrian with an umbrella happened to pass by, and it finally couldn't support it and collapsed.

"boom!"

The umbrella fell out of hand, was swept up by the strong wind, and fell on the road.In the dream, Shengcun's eyes saw two familiar figures lying in a pool of blood.

The ones on the road are black and white flowers.The one on the sidewalk is myself.

He woke up suddenly and sat up in bed.

So it turns out, how unlucky it is to be met by this series of coincidences...

He had a dark conjecture about the system in his heart, but since it had passed... don't mention it, let's treat it as a special experience.

The dormitory was pitch black, and the roommate was disturbed by the creaking of the bed boards, turned over and muttered indistinctly.

Outside the window, the red horned owl "cooed" from time to time. This is where the dream begins and ends.

"Sleep and sleep."

Sheng Cun fell back on the bed and stretched out his hands to cover his eyes.

He finally fell asleep soundly.

Sorry for disappearing for so long, the end of the term is finally over, and this article is also over, thank you for your continuous encouragement and support! (bow)

Put another copy of the pre-received article, if you are interested, welcome to collect it~

In the Elemental Continent, strange beasts are rampant. There are 118 citizens in total, all obeying the system's orders.

Jumping on the mecha to fight monsters and mine is their boring and boring daily life.

Na opened his eyes, desperately thinking that he would be greeted by the miserable life of the monster-fighting tool man.However, she soon discovered that this group of newcomers had their own ideas.

Some people focus on farming, some focus on love, and some... just want to make trouble.

The system jumped anxiously: "You are so disobedient! What will you do if you encounter a strange beast?"

Na Xiemei smiled: "Look, our nirvana is - use mechas to synthesize various compounds, let them understand what element suppression is!"

While talking, the sodium and chlorine mechas merged, and salt spewed out from the muzzle, and sprinkled it on the huge slugs one after another...

The system looked at the slug that turned into water, and was stunned: "Is this how to use the fusion skill I gave you?"

Until one day, Na mysteriously proposed:

"Everyone has had enough of fighting monsters, how about we go to the restricted area in the northern border?"

Everyone exclaimed:

"It turns out that you are the real master of death—so when shall we set off?"

The truth of this strange world may be hidden within the restricted area...
