Rotting Land: Survive-Chapter 476 - 471: Puppy (Part 2)

After a few rounds of drinks and tasting the dishes, seeing that everyone had eaten enough, Xu Renjie summarized today’s tasks.

This was a long-standing tradition of the army, where every squad and class would conduct meetings each evening to summarize the day’s training, engage in self-criticism, aiming to improve personnel quality, prevent minor issues from escalating, and strengthen oneself.

Of course, in this apocalyptic world, it’s unnecessary to be so serious, but summarizing and reviewing is still very necessary.

"According to the tasks listed this morning, we have successfully completed two of them."

"One is the installation of the generator unit, Zhao Yunhai and Old Bi have completed the debugging. However, there are a few points regarding its use that need to be explained to everyone, Old Zhao, you can take it from here."

Directing his gaze toward Zhao Yunhai, Xu Renjie made a gesture of invitation.

Old Zhao nodded slightly, took a sip of water, and said, "Alright, I’ll talk to everyone about the precautions regarding the use of the engine room’s electricity."

"First, do not directly use external tools connecting to the unit, especially high-power appliances, as they can easily overload and burn the circuit. Please charge all tools before using, and try to charge one device at a time."

"Second, if you need to charge using the unit, please apply to me or Old Bi first, do not start the generator without permission to avoid causing damage."

"Third, as we all know, our unit is fuel-driven, and the value of fuel needs no additional emphasis here. I just hope everyone appreciates this hard-won electricity and carefully considers what they want to do before using it. Don’t rush to charge something based merely on a fleeting idea."

"Fourth, to increase the electricity supply, if there is a team going out, please try to collect car power sources."

"That’s all I have to say!"

Returning the speaking rights to Xu Renjie, Zhao Yunhai lowered his head and drank clear tea.

"The points Old Zhao mentioned, I hope everyone can implement them. Also, today, Little Lei, you guys did a good job, successfully solving everyone’s eating and drinking problems, that’s very good! Now I will assign tomorrow’s tasks."

"Old Zhao, Old Lin, you two are responsible for leading the installation of the relay station! I’ll take Lei Tong and the others to check out the villa next door, first to see if we can find any suitable door panels to replace the floor-to-ceiling door on the third floor, and second, to gather supplies on the way. Oh right, speaking of supplies, Liu Yunpeng, you can take Little Hu around your place later, we need to inventory useful things."

Hearing his name mentioned, Liu Yunpeng, who was flirting with Li Huiru, immediately straightened up.

For him, leading and inventorying didn’t interest him, but in order to go to his father’s factory, he had no choice but to lower his stature and cooperate with these country bumpkins.

"Haha, that’s naturally no problem, there’s quite a bit of stuff in my house, some of which you may have never seen before, I’ll take Brother Hu to have a look tomorrow!"

Still putting on an exaggerated display, the survivors found Liu Yunpeng’s grandstanding sickening.

Xu Renjie couldn’t be bothered with idle talk with him, and after entrusting what needed to be entrusted, he relaxed his serious demeanor and smiled slightly at Wang Qiang, who was holding a puppy, gently asking, "Little Wang, have you named the puppy yet?"

Hearing these words, Wang Qiang’s eyes suddenly widened, and he awkwardly chuckled, "Haha, not yet!"

After speaking, he glanced at the puppy, then raised his head confidently, "This little thing was jet black like a lump of coal when we first met, I’ll call him Coalball!"

"Pfft! What! Coalball!?" Wenquan Xin spat out his clear water, looked at Wang Qiang like he was a monster, and then laughed heartily, "Hahaha, it’s the first time I’ve heard such a crude name for a pet. Say, Qiang, have you considered the dog’s feelings, hahaha!"

"Hey, Little Wen, you don’t understand." Hu Xiaodong interrupted Wenquan Xin’s laughter, calmly explaining, "I think Wang Qiang naming it like this is great—like they say, a crude name gives a dog a good life."

Hearing Hu Xiaodong’s supportive words, Wang Qiang gave a thumbs up, then slyly quipped at Wenquan Xin beside him, "See, that’s the difference between cultured and uncultured! From today, doggie, your name is Coalball, let’s decide happily on that!"

Maybe feeling its owner’s call, the sleeping "Coalball" slowly opened its eyes, licked Wang Qiang’s palm with its small tongue, and then fell back to sleep in a different position.

Seeing the dog’s cute appearance, young Fangfang naturally adored it.

She really wanted to go and touch "Coalball," but its "unreasonable" behavior in the afternoon had discouraged her.

In the end, she could only blink her eyes and curiously ask, "Brother Wang, what... what kind of dog is Coalball?"

"This..." Wang Qiang’s mouth opened in mid-air; although he liked puppies, he wasn’t very familiar with dog breeds and care, so he couldn’t answer right away.

Instead, Li Xiaoxin directly blurted out: "Fangfang, this little dog is a Golden Retriever."

"Golden... Retriever..." Fangfang stammered over the breed name and curiously asked again, "So is Coalball very impressive?"

Li Xiaoxin was amused by Fangfang’s thirst for knowledge, but he still seriously replied, "Yes, Coalball is indeed a very impressive dog. As long as we give it the necessary training, it can do many things."

"I see..." Fangfang tilted her head, glanced at Coalball sleeping peacefully in Wang Qiang’s arms, and nodded, "Mm, Uncle Li, make sure you train Coalball well, and Coalball, you have to work hard to become an amazing dog!" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Innocent words from a child, but Fangfang’s words caught Xu Renjie’s attention. He pondered thoughtfully and suddenly turned to look at Shen Lian, "Little Shen! Didn’t you work as a dog trainer before joining the army? Do you think you could train Coalball?"

"This shouldn’t be a problem, but..." Shen Lian shifted his gaze to Wang Qiang and asked, "Qiang, would you be okay with that?"

Without waiting for Wang Qiang’s reply, Xu Renjie interjected, "Qiang, if you are going to keep this puppy, you must take responsibility for it, and also ensure that its presence won’t jeopardize the team’s safety. Therefore, I think training the puppy is very necessary, especially since it’s still young—it’s the best time to build habits. That’s all I have to say, you decide."

With the conversation reaching this point, Wang Qiang had no real choice, and besides, he also felt that training Coalball would only help it survive in this apocalyptic world without harm, so he didn’t hesitate and decisively agreed, "I agree! Just do as Old Xu suggests! Train Coalball!" (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit qidian.com to vote for recommendation votes, monthly votes. Your support is my greatest motivation.
