Chapter 303: Chapter 176 New Member_3

Stone: "What are you doing?"

Lin Wu put down the walkie-talkie, entered the library, pulled Maya, who had just borrowed some books, over to the radio, and pointed. Maya, holding back laughter, picked up the walkie-talkie: "We need some wooden boards, nails, and blankets."

"Okay," Stone said. "Do you need anything else?"

Maya looked at Wai, thinking for a moment: "Lin Wu’s Hunter’s skill can summon a Hunting Dog, but right now the little guy is still a baby."

Stone perked up: "You guys got a dog?"

Maya: "Mhm."

Stone: "Alright, got it."

The next morning, Stone brought the day shift folks to the supermarket base, each person grabbing and petting Wai, with Little Knife even holding Wai without letting go. When they learned that such a cute little thing was named Wai, everyone felt sorry for Wai amidst their exclamations about the tough times. Among ten Hunters from Shadow and a million players, you just had to choose the most unreliable person to be your master.

Lin Wu was quite satisfied with Wai. In one night of 12 hours, Wai’s growth had already reached 5%. Based on this rate, Wai would grow into a real Hunting Dog in ten days. It didn’t eat, didn’t get sick, required no training, wouldn’t complain, shed no hair, and neither defecated nor urinated. Where could you find such a perfect pet?

Group activities were only suitable at the cement factory. Lin Wu had wanted to hunt mice, but since everyone wanted to play with Wai, and baby Wai couldn’t be more than 20 meters away from Lin Wu, they all ended up going to the cement factory. Wai was especially affectionate; whoever held it, it would nuzzle against them, making everyone not want to let go, even Maya couldn’t help but stroke Wai’s head.

Whenever a zombie got within three meters of Lin Wu, Wai would wriggle out of someone’s arms, run to Lin Wu’s feet, bare its teeth at the zombie, and make a milky "hmm" sound. Lin Wu couldn’t help but glance back at Shana, who also bared her teeth at him when she was angry, which made Shana both angry and amused.

Wai would only bark when Lin Wu gave it commands; it stayed quiet at all other times. Moreover, Wai could already complete Lin Wu’s simple verbal commands: sit, give a paw, roll over, roll. What everyone disapproved of, aside from Wai’s name, was that Wai did not obey anyone else’s orders, which even made Little Knife consider the notion of murder over the dog.

As the Boss of the base, Stone didn’t go to the cement factory but built a doghouse for Wai instead. Stone said he had raised a son and dogs before. Before he got married, he kept a mongrel—it wasn’t pretty, but he liked it a lot. Not long after he got married at 21, his wife got pregnant. Rumor had it dogs weren’t good for pregnant women, and experts also suggested not leaving dogs alone with infants or children, so he painfully sent the little dog to a stray dog rescue station. He said it was one of the two most regretful things he had ever done in his life.

"What’s the other thing?"

"Raising a child."

"I thought you were going to say getting married."

"Getting married is one of the two most correct decisions of my life."

"And the second one?"

"Divorce."

"You’re nuts."

Compared to others’ enthusiasm, Stone was more reserved toward Wai. He was silent as he stroked the dog’s head, seemingly reminiscing about the little dog that had followed him through his youth. He was also the only one who left the supermarket base with a downcast mood.

Before returning to the main base, Little Knife secretly stashed Wai in her backpack. Once they were beyond a certain distance from Lin Wu, Wai began to bark incessantly and wriggle frantically. With no other choice, Little Knife had to put Wai down in the snow and watch as Wai dashed back toward the supermarket base. Annoyed, Little Knife cursed Wai for being an idiot; how could he be so loyal to such an unreliable master?

Since then, Wai officially became the eleventh formal member of Shadow.

The next day, at everyone’s strong request, Lin Wu took Wai to meet Su Shi, and while there, took the opportunity to visit the future chickens.
