The Most Random System

To be honest, with Lin Li’s current network, he no longer needs Bai Bufan to know which poop from Xiling is the best tasting.

And if he wants to bite someone, he can call his little minions to bite that person, and they can also provide him with some intelligence.

Therefore, Lin Li still chose a few stray dogs with local authority, considered to be prominent figures, and entrusted them with his signal transmitter, conveying the same instructions as with the stray cats, asking them to call him when necessary.

He also educated them on why the urban management would capture them, and told them how to avoid being caught.

In a way, it was also providing protection for one side.

"Hey dogs,"

The hour and a half was about to end, not enough for Lin Li to go to a new area, so he decided to use the last bit of time to educate his little minions:

"I don’t have much time left to speak dog language, anyway, remember what I told you. If you encounter someone deliberately trying to harm you, just run away, don’t confront them head-on. Especially don’t attack old or young ones, if you bully the middle-aged ones, they might just go home sulking. But if you attack the old or young ones, then it’s really over..."

A few dogs nodded vaguely, making growling sounds in response, their tails wagging more joyfully.

Among them, two suddenly looked in the same direction not far away.

Lin Li then turned his head, and saw at the edge of the dim streetlight glow a person.

A man in his forties wearing a jacket, carrying a convenience store plastic bag, his mouth slightly agape and eyes wide open, staring straight in Lin Li’s direction.

The man naturally noticed Lin Li’s gaze, and his shock was instantly replaced by a kind of awkwardness and panic, hastily turning his head to show intense interest in the bare greenbelt beside him, admiring it.

Lin Li was amused.

He was probably mistaken for a fool again.

Indeed, late at night, a young and handsome guy squatting by the roadside, calling stray dogs "brothers", is indeed quite far from normal human activity.

Lin Li suddenly laughed.

He stood up, instantly changing his face to a somewhat anxious and worried expression, and walked briskly toward the man.

"Brother, brother!"

The call had a hint of urgency.

The man shivered all over, turned around, watched Lin Li with caution and concern, his voice tightened and he subtly moved his foot half a step back: "Wha-what’s up?"

Lin Li stopped about a meter and a half in front of him, smiled:

"Brother, sorry to disturb you, but... do you know where I can find a folk remedy for rabies vaccine around here?"

"Rabies... Rabies vaccine?" The man was stunned, obviously not following this jump in conversation, "Folk remedy?"

"Right, right, folk remedy," Lin Li nodded vigorously, spreading his hands somewhat helplessly: "Accidentally got bitten by a dog the other day, been having attacks often recently, heard there’s a folk remedy by an old Chinese doctor around here that’s pretty effective... Or the hospital is fine too..."

"I don’t know about folk remedies, but for the hospital, it’s right turn at the junction ahead..."

The man spoke while raising his hand to point in a direction, and at the instant his hand rose—

Lin Li: "Woof... Bark——!!"

——Lin Li suddenly made a fierce dog bark.

The sound was low, short, with a hint of the canine classic woof, especially piercing in the quiet night.

Man: "(;☉_☉)?!!!"

The man shuddered violently, his hand pointing stuck in mid-air, unable to process what had just happened, incredulously watching Lin Li.

Lin Li didn’t give him a chance to recover, imitating a dog slightly leaning forward in stance, continued to approach him half a step: "Brother, which direction? You don’t know, I originally didn’t want to deal with this, but yesterday I bit two old men. This illness is just too bothersome, I really need to get it treated... Bark!! Woof... Bark!!"

Man: "?"

"Two old men? Don’t come over!! You’re my brother! Don’t come over!"

The man incoherently repeated Lin Li’s craziness, while frantically waving his elbows at the air between him and Lin Li, as if trying to dispel an invisible vicious dog, while emitting short commands often used when driving away dogs:

"Go! Go! Back off! Back off!"

"Bark Bark——! Brother! Where! Bark Bark Bark Bark!!!!"

Lin Li mimicked several more dog barks, even louder, and took a small jump forward, mimicking a dog charging stance.

"Over there! Just over there! Emergency! Hospital emergency! Quickly! Quickly go!"

The man completely broke down, pointing in the earlier direction, almost shouting.

Seeing Lin Li not only wasn’t driven away but seemed increasingly odd, his teeth began to bare, his upper lip brought his nose into continuous motion—

"Darn it!! Having an attack!!"

Emitting a short wail, the man could no longer care about his image, carrying his bag turned and sprinted away!

With a speed like a hundred-meter dash, fleeing in panic disappearing around the street corner, leaving only a shadow of a struggling escape elongated by the streetlight.

Lin Li: "OvO!"

Standing in place, watching the fleeing shadow, Lin Li couldn’t hold it in anymore, his mouth curved upwards, looking beautiful.

So amusing.

Maybe starting today, this area would see the spread of a tale about youthful foolish middle-aged uncle dreaming not of rabies-affected junior in urban stray dog folklore.

The more he thought about it the more amused, Lin Li shook his head, turned around, and walked back to his original spot.

Only to see several stray dog minions still squatting there, having witnessed the entire event, their eyes filled with admiration.

"Bark!"

"Woof~ Bark!"

"Bark Bark Bark!"

Seemingly paying homage to Lin Li.

The dog barking sounded one after another, needing no translation, seeing the speed their tails wagged filled with excitement and praise.

Just like "woof woof woof" has unparalleled attraction to dogs, "go" is also a command they understand to drive away.

But a brother is a brother, completely fearless!

Even using our dog method scared the human away hard!

Brother! So powerful! Amazing!

Perhaps he’s more suited to being a dog than me!

"Hey dogs," Lin Li laughed as he patted their heads, "As long as you guys are as confident and assertive as me, trust me, barring accidents..."

Dog: "(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧"

"——You’ll be beaten to death in days." Lin Li added expressionlessly.

Dog: "O.o?"

Lightly patted their heads each, Lin Li emphasized: "Just now was a pure reverse example, don’t learn, if you see people you should mainly evade, understand! Really provoke humans, I can at most help you clean up the body."

A few dogs nodded vaguely.

"Being a dog still needs to have your tail tucked,"

"Alright, each take a bone and disperse, my time is also just about to end, remember what I said."

Manifesting a few meaty bones and distributing them, Lin Li got up and bid farewell to the dogs.

No other plans for tonight, so directly rode home.

Bathroom.

On the panel of departure for the apocalypse, Lin Li pondered for a moment, then chose the shelter node of Yunguang City.

No other reason, it’s a good option for dealing with zombies with "Voice of All Things" now completely on cooldown, along with the prior bad experience and no urgent task pushing necessity, just as he wanted to ask Shi Dongchen about the signal transmitter, might as well go again.

After ten minutes in the real world, Lin Li returned to reality.

No unexpected or special developments occurred, indeed there were talents in the shelter capable of making simple modulations and modifications with modern tech materials brought in, like Zhu Ning, but couldn’t achieve swift results, estimating at least a period for real outcomes.

Expectation was low to begin with, so no disappointment could be felt.

During other times, Lin Li let the Mecha charge outside the shelter, while he went solo against zombies.

This time he used his own cultivation and magic, just to see the progress of his recent cultivation.

To be honest, the power indeed increased significantly.

Such achievement could only attribute to the indispensable efforts and sweat by Lin Li, along with the system’s trivial yet nice little buffs.

Encountered a new mutant this time, but Lin Li didn’t kill it, instead using surrounding boulders and objects to trap it in a corner, considering visiting it next opportunity to see any development.

Maybe could conduct some small research.

Thinking idly, Lin Li yawned.

It was late, this would be it for today.

After a busy day, it was time to close.

——Laundry is done in the laundry room, a bath naturally in the cleansing room.
