The man quickly stretched out his withered hand, and weakly comforted the big golden retriever.
"Good boy, they are not malicious."
The big golden retriever immediately put its head under the owner's armpit, and whimpered.
The man pulled the corner of his mouth and forced a smile.
"Lao Jin is actually very good, but he is too afraid of being alone."
It was only then that Su Ling noticed that there were indeed a lot of food around the man, including self-heating meals, mineral water bottles, instant noodle bags, and potato chip bags and other snacks.
Seeing that Su Ling noticed his side, the man sighed, touched the big golden retriever like a child, and said in a slow voice: "My wife and I were originally from the DINK family, but later she felt that it was too much for us alone. I was lonely, so I bought Laojin, and it has been with us since that day.”
"After the disaster broke out, we found the storage warehouse with the help of Lao Jin, but my wife was bitten by a zombie and lost her mind. I locked my wife in the storage warehouse with a glimmer of hope, hoping to find a cure for her. However, not long after, another huge earthquake occurred in Los Angeles, my legs were broken, and it was Lao Jin who tried his best to pull me and my wife out of the rubble..."
He took a few breaths violently, and then continued: "It's a pity that my daughter-in-law has lost her mind. I have to say that I killed her."
When the man said this, tears fell uncontrollably.
"I love her so much, I never dreamed that I would kill her with my own hands."
He wiped away his tears and continued: "I don't want Lao Jin to see such a cruel scene, so I let him go out to find something, but it was injured by someone, and that person wanted to eat Lao Jin, so he kept chasing him. When I got here, I was bitten and ran away by Lao Jin, and after that, you came here."
He grinned again and smiled miserably at the two of them.
"I can see that you are good people and won't hurt Lao Jin. I will leave it to you in the future."
He propped himself up with great effort, and saluted Su Ling and Sheng Hongye.
Old Jin seemed to understand something, stretched out his two paws and hugged the man's neck, huge tears fell from the dog's eyes.
At this moment, Su Ling's eyes also turned red.
She has seen too many joys and sorrows, and also seen too many life and death.
But he has never been so shocked before.
Everything has spirituality, this sentence is most appropriate here.
Looking at the big golden retriever who couldn't stop crying, Su Ling felt his throat tighten, and tried not to let the tears fall.
She knew very well that the man had lost the will to live, and the only way to make him feel at ease was to agree to his request.
So, she nodded solemnly.
"Don't worry, I will take Lao Jin with me. As long as I am still alive, I promise not to starve to death."
The man nodded to Su Ling, with tears of relief in his eyes.
"Then thank you."
After speaking, he quickly picked up the dagger and stabbed it towards his heart.
The big golden retriever let out a howl immediately, and immediately jumped in front of Su Ling, stretched out two paws and quickly bowed to her.
Although Su Ling didn't understand animal language, he also knew that it was begging himself to save its master. He couldn't help hugging the golden retriever's huge head, and said with a sob: "Your male master is not dead, he must have gone to another world to be with you." Your mistress is reunited."
The golden retriever immediately broke free from her, and hugged his master again.
Sheng Hongye cleared his throat involuntarily, and said in a low voice: "You take the big golden retriever away, and I will bury them both."
As soon as the voice fell, a roar was heard.
"The zombies are coming, I will strengthen the buildings first."
Like the storage warehouse in Lizhou, the storage warehouse in Luocheng is also a large iron gate, with a fence about 20 cm high on the top of the gate. The claws of the zombies have already stretched through the iron gate, constantly scratching inside.
A stench came from outside the door, making Su Ling feel nauseous.
It must be the smell of blood in the house that attracted these zombies. If the zombies continue to gather, the situation is not optimistic.
After all, the storage warehouse in Los Angeles is less than three meters high, and the roof was blown off by the earthquake, so zombies can easily crawl in.
When Su Ling was upset, a long and ear-piercing scream suddenly came from outside the door.
Sheng Hongye's face suddenly became ugly.
"It may be the same as the situation in Lizhou, led by the corpse king."
"Then what to do?"
As soon as Su Ling finished asking, a zombie fell from the top of his head.
Sheng Hongye stepped on the zombie's neck, and with a loud rattle, the zombie's neck was crushed.
"There is still a room inside, with a roof, retreat inside first."
Sheng Hongye grabbed Su Ling and walked into the storage warehouse.
Seeing that Lao Jin was still hugging his master, Su Ling couldn't bear it, so he walked over and patted Lao Jin's head.
"Old Jin, come in quickly."
Old Jin was still clinging to his master, Su Ling was afraid that it would be bitten by zombies, so he grabbed his front legs and dragged Lao Jin to the small warehouse inside.
Sheng Hongye immediately moved to the side, and Lao Jin didn't seem to like him very much. He rolled his eyes and squatted beside Su Ling.
Seeing Sheng Hongye looking at Lao Jin warily, Su Ling couldn't help asking, "Are you... afraid of dogs?"
Sheng Hongye coughed dryly and said, "How is it possible, how can I be afraid of dogs."
Su Ling glanced at him, and said to himself that you are obviously afraid.
Maybe I was bitten by a dog when I was a child, so I left a shadow in my heart when I grew up.
Thinking about it this way, it is no surprise that Sheng Hongye is afraid of dogs.
In the following time, Su Ling started the long road of strengthening again.
Because Sheng Hongye was by her side, the success rate of enhancement was much higher than the failure rate, which also made her a lot easier. As soon as she heard that it seemed to drop to 80%, she began to strengthen.
Just when she felt that she could deal with it easily, there was another scream outside, and the defense suddenly dropped to 50%.
Su Ling was startled, and sweat broke out on his back.
How many zombies came, why did the defense value drop by 100 points all of a sudden.
Immediately closed my eyes and intensified crazily.
However, the speed of strengthening was not as fast as the speed of losing the defense, which made Su Ling even more flustered. If the defense dropped to zero, the building would be destroyed.
Immediately there was a muffled bang, and the sound of a wall being knocked down came from outside.
Su Ling's body tensed up immediately, and at the very moment, a system notification sounded in his head.
"Congratulations to the host, the strengthening skills have been upgraded, the strengthening has been increased to 180%, and the spiritual ability has been upgraded to level 2."
It was only then that Su Ling remembered that he still had mental abilities. At the same time, the leader of the zombies outside screamed again, and the voice was much more shrill than last time.
Hearing the goosebump-raising cry, Su Ling suddenly had a bold idea.
"Sheng Hongye, can you send me up?"
