Chapter 320: Is that It? You’re Thinking of Scaring Me With This?
Instructor Li reprimanded the few of them. “They will be accompanying you for training in the following days and you’re not allowed to pounce on them.”
The several military dogs stiffened for a second and stood rooted obediently, while they whined as if they were begging for mercy.
Instructor Li was a little soft-hearted from their behavior and stopped reprimanding them and introduced them to the two female students.
All the military dogs had names and they sounded majestic.
Following this, he had the two of them spectate while he brought them around for training.
The training intensity was very high and there were all sorts of special training too.
Zi Yi and Li Xia stood by and watched while heading over to help him from time to time.
An hour or two later, perhaps the military dogs were now accustomed to the two of them, as there would occasionally be one or two lively ones who ran around them during the gap between each training session.
Li Xia would reach out to touch them, but her hand ended up getting pushed away each time.
Zi Yi did not know if she should feel bad for her every time it happened.
A day passed by and the two of them became familiar with the military dogs.
In the evening, they went to get food for the military dogs.
The place to retrieve dog food was not far from here and Li Xia happily spoke as she walked. “These military dogs are too adorable when facing the trainers. I hope that I can join in and interact with them soon.”
They were tasked with menial jobs these two days and Instructor Li did not allow them to join the training.
Zi Yi glanced at Li Xia who had been pounced on several times today and she honestly suspected who would be the one training the other when the time comes.
When they were about to reach the warehouse where the dog food was kept, they just so happened to encounter Doctor Zhang coming over from the other side with a bucket in her hand.
Li Xia hastily called out to her. “Doctor Zhang.”
She stopped and looked at both of them. While she revealed a smile, she asked, “You’re here to collect the dog food?”
Li Xia nodded and looked at the bucket in her hands. “Doctor Zhang, what about you?”
She pointed at the bucket in her hand. There were many medicine packs inside. “I’m sending these medicine packs to the military dog’s training camp. The place where they stay should be disinfected and sterilized once every two days.”
Having said that, she smiled and said, “Go and collect the food, I’ll wait for you here.”
“Okay.”
Zi Yi and Li Xia came out very soon after collecting the dog food.
The three of them headed to the camp together.
While walking, Doctor Zhang asked, “How do you feel? Do you get scared from interacting with the group of military dogs?”
Li Xia immediately answered. “Not at all. Just that the military dogs are a little too enthusiastic. Haha.”
Doctor Zhang smiled and looked towards Zi Yi.
“It’s not bad.”
“That’s good to hear. In fact, training military dogs is hard work. You can talk to Instructor Li if you are unable to take it. He’s a very easy-going person.”
The three of them arrived at the camp soon while they chatted casually on the way.
Instructor Li came over and greeted them.
Doctor Zhang spoke up. “Doctor Wu has something on today, so she got me to deliver these medicine packs for you today.”
Instructor Li thanked her and the four of them headed towards the fence where the military dogs were resting.
After the intensive training, the military dogs were all standing by the fence and looking outside. Obviously, they were waiting for dinner.
However, all of them started barking at the sight of Doctor Zhang.
Instructor Li said to her, “Doctor Zhang, you can stand here and wait. The military dogs have not seen you before and they like to bark at strangers.”
Doctor Zhang stopped at where she stood and looked on as the three of them fed the military dogs.
When Zi Yi and Li Xia walked out, she even complimented them. “It seems like you have adapted well. The military dogs seem to like you too.”
Li Xia happily smiled.
Whereas Zi Yi merely responded with an acknowledgment.
Doctor Zhang did not leave at once. Instead, she specially asked in a kind manner, “Where are you staying tonight? If it’s inconvenient for you to stay here, you can come to my side.”
Li Xia pointed to the building on the other side and said, “We’re staying there. The room’s pretty good and we’re alright with it. Moreover, there are many military dogs here and it’s safe to live here.”
Zi Yi specially glanced at her after hearing what she said.
Doctor Zhang smiled and said, “Alright then, then I’ll leave first.”
“Goodbye Doctor Zhang.”
After Doctor Zhang left, Zi Yi asked Li Xia, “Why do you think it’s safe to live here?”
“Military dogs are very capable. They can detect danger and I think staying here is the safest.”
Zi Yi nodded and asked, “Are you cooking tonight?”
They were all busy in the afternoon and Li Xia did not have time to cook.
Li Xia nodded and said, “I’ll go and pick some vegetables.”
Having said that, she left after informing Instructor Li.
Zi Yi walked to the fence and stood beside Instructor Li as they watched the military dogs eat.
After looking on for a while, Zi Yi asked, “Instructor Li, when will you be spraying the disinfectant?”
“I’ll spray it later. It just so happens that they will be going out for a walk later, so I’ll spray the disinfectant after I clean up the place.”
Zi Yi did not comment any further.
After the military dogs finished their meal, Instructor Li asked, “Student Zi, do you mind watching them for a while?”
He then added, “You can stay at the training range. Just make sure they don’t run about.”
Zi Yi nodded and said, “Okay.”
In fact, Instructor Li was not worried at all. After all, the military dogs were very obedient and he said to the dogs, “Don’t run about and don’t bully the newbie.”
Following that, he released them outside.
Zi Yi led the group of military dogs to the training range.
They did not have to undergo training and all of them were playing around like unruly children.
Whereas Zi Yi leaned against a pillar and watched them.
A while later, Zi Yi saw two military dogs running towards a corner, but she did not pay them much attention. Two minutes later, the two dogs ran towards her.
The dog in front just so happens to block the head of the dog behind.
Zi Yi narrowed her eyes.
Don’t think that she does not know that the dog behind was biting onto something just because one had blocked the other.
When the two dogs arrived by her side, the dog running behind had thrown something against her legs.
It was a cauliflower snake
It then retreated a few meters behind and stopped to look at Zi Yi.
Their appearance was as if waiting for Zi Yi to panic.
Zi Yi calmly looked at the struggling cauliflower snake by her leg, then at the two military dogs before she raised her leg and kicked it towards them.
Whoosh~pa!
The cauliflower snake hung on one of their heads. The two military dogs were dumbfounded. Zi Yi quirked her eyebrow and the corner of her lips curled up. “Is that it? You’re thinking of scaring me with this?”
…
The two military dogs retreated silently.
Zi Yi continued to lean against the pillar and surveyed her surroundings.
Just then, one of the military dogs suddenly sprawled out on the ground and continuously twitched, while it even whimpered in pain. Its behavior was as if it was going to die.
Soon, the other military dogs surrounded it and released whining sounds at the same time.
Zi Yi’s forehead twitched twice and she made her way over.
When they saw her coming over, they got out of the way.
Zi Yi came to the military dog’s side and half-squatted down. “Are you alright?”
Just then, the military dog suddenly jumped up and pounced towards her.
