Walkerbite’s eyes were filled with panic as he tried to shrink back.
This face had cost him decades of effort; it was his most proud creation. It couldn’t be ruined!
“Mmm!!” This time he couldn’t even make a sound.
The needle pierced through his lips, directly sealing his mouth.
The entire factory was terrifyingly silent, save for Shen Feng’s heavy panting and Walkerbite’s muffled groans from deep in his throat.
Soon, he dared not make a sound. Huo Rou looked at him as if he were already dead. Though her anger was at its peak, she still restrained herself from killing him.
Therefore, his fate must be something far more terrible than death!
Walkerbite shrunk back, trying to make himself as insignificant as possible.
“Where is the antidote?” Huo Rou’s voice was devoid of emotion, though her eyes were moist.
“Wuwuwu.” Walkerbite shook his head. With the shaking, the needle in his mouth loosened, causing even more pain. He dared not move at all.
Shen Feng struggled to stand up, feeling unwell. Huo Rou quickly squatted in front of it. “Shen Feng, you…”
Shen Feng could barely keep its eyes open. It desperately wanted to stand up, but its limbs were weak. After struggling for a long time, it could only manage to lift its head slightly.
It coughed with difficulty. Following two mournful roars, blood flowed from its mouth. Shen Feng collapsed again, its breathing still rapid but weakening.
“No.” Huo Rou reached out. “Don’t leave me, Shen Feng! Hold on! You can do it! Ning Yi, doctor, find a doctor…”
Shen Feng, who had survived hails of bullets and crossed seas of fire, how could it die before this cowardly old man from Yizhou? No…
Shen Feng heard her crying. As if in a final burst of energy, it raised its eyes, its dark pupils looking at her. Its eyes were also filled with moisture.
Movement came from outside the door and the rooftop. The surrounding people became alert.
Shen Feng twitched its nose and lifted its tail, seeming to welcome the approaching people.
Huo Rou stared at it fixedly. The light in Shen Feng’s eyes gradually dimmed. As the people from outside and the rooftop rushed down, Shen Feng lifted its paw and placed it into Huo Rou’s outstretched hand. With a deep exhale, it slowly closed its eyes, no longer breathing.
“Shen Feng…” Huo Rou stared blankly at the small paw in her hand.
The day she first met Shen Feng, she had gone to see its mother and father, her father’s police dogs.
The mother dog was very excited to see her and wanted to leave her nursing puppies to come to her. Huo Rou took a few steps forward to calm her. Just as she squatted down to pet the mother dog, Shen Feng, who had been nursing, suddenly stood up and stumbled towards her.
The caretaker was also stunned, laughing with amusement. “This puppy usually only eats and sleeps, and ignores everyone. Today, it’s trying to show off!”
Huo Rou had been in a somber mood that day. Seeing the puppy waddle towards her with its short legs, she couldn’t help but smile.
As her lips curved upwards, the puppy lifted its small paw and placed it on Huo Rou’s hand, which she hadn’t yet withdrawn.
She was slightly taken aback. She picked up the puppy and said to the caretaker, “This one.”
“But the selection of police dogs…” The caretaker paused, then began to dissuade her. She was here to pick a police dog, and had to choose from already qualified puppies. This puppy…
Huo Rou stroked the mother dog and then the puppy in front of her. “It will be the most excellent.”
It was less that she chose Shen Feng, and more that Shen Feng had chosen her from the very beginning!
All the past flashed before her eyes. Huo Rou gripped Shen Feng’s limp paw. “Shen Feng!”
Someone approached her. “A Rou, the veterinarian is here. Let him take a look.”
The veterinarian was one of Qin Ningyi’s men. When he arrived, he knew he was looking at a dog that was a celebrity in the laboratory, Professor Huo’s dog. Now, faced with this outcome, he was powerless.
A dog that had been struck by such a large dose of poisoned needles and then infected with a potent poison, yet managed to survive this long, was already a miracle!
Huo Rou lowered her gaze to Shen Feng. Tears were no longer flowing from her eyes. Numbly, she nodded.
“A Rou…” Shen Wuyou looked at Huo Rou with concern. The protective measures were timely, and she hadn’t been infected by the poison on Walkerbite. However, Huo Rou’s state…
“I’m fine.” Huo Rou lowered her eyes, suppressing the tears. “Can I hold it?”
As soon as she spoke, the black-clothed man standing next to Wen Hu glanced at her quickly.
“Yes.” Shen Wuyou and the veterinarian finished the disinfection work. The veterinarian draped a cloth over Shen Feng and nodded to Huo Rou.
The people from the other side had finished dealing with Walkerbite. They wrapped him up like a zongzi and lifted him. “Captain Huang, we’re done. Let’s go!!”
The black-clothed man regained his composure, returned his gun to his waist, nodded to Pei Feng, and a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes. “Do you need me to show my credentials?”
Huo Rou blinked, her breath hitched, then returned to normal. She lowered her head to embrace Shen Feng.
Hearing his voice and Wen Hu’s address to him, Pei Feng chuckled and waved his hand.
They walked towards another direction of the factory, and Huo Rou gently picked up Shen Feng, her voice hoarse, soft, and low. “Shen Feng, let’s go home.”
In an instant, countless eyes were fixed on them from behind.
“Salute—” the person called Captain Huang suddenly stood solemnly, his voice resounding.
Wen Hu, carrying Walkerbite in one hand, saluted Huo Rou’s retreating back with the other. Everyone else’s gazes were intense, their feet shifted slightly before stopping in place, a perfect salute.
“Escort Shen Feng!” Captain Huang shouted, his voice filled with sorrow and gravity.
Several others responded in unison, “Escort—Shen Feng!”
Qin Ningyi’s eyes flickered, Shen Wuyou sighed inwardly, and the members of the 112th detachment following Huo Rou were stunned by the aura of the people behind them. The 112th detachment members glanced back at them, then cautiously looked at Huo Rou.
Hearing their voices, Huo Rou’s expression remained unchanged, but a tear slipped down her cheek. She continued to walk slowly, her steps unwavering. The group of mysterious people did not step forward. After the salute, they took Walkerbite and left in the opposite direction.
They still had more important matters to attend to!
Shen Feng’s death would not be in vain, and Yizhou would not suffer for nothing!
