Chapter 49 Did the dog break a heavenly law?
The Taimon base quickly obtained detailed intelligence.

If we say that the decisions of those people in Hinduism are incomprehensible, that's not entirely true. The development of things has its basic logic, and there are many things that can be traced.

"They won't be afraid if they only go this far, or rather, this is one of their goals."

Su Xun didn't actually have a deep memory of the current situation; the environment before the apocalypse was too distant for him. He simply listened to Qin Chang's slow explanation.

At its core, it boils down to nothing more than the four words: "drive away the tiger to devour the wolf."

He concluded, "There are many factors involved, but if we trace it back to its roots, it is probably a problem left over from the Kingdom of John."

Su Xun's lips twitched: "That's one aspect, but the rest depends on Bharata's own efforts."

"That's true."

Qin Chang smiled and shook his head, putting the topic aside.

The two were discussing this issue simply to see if it would affect ASEAN's own plans.

"At present, it will not have a substantial impact on us. Our own plans can proceed as normal, and we can even take this opportunity to make some further plans."

"It's just that by adding operations in the ocean, our energy was diverted in two directions, making people think there was an opportunity to take advantage of us."

“There are some active public opinions at present, which are obviously being manipulated by someone.”

Su Xun nodded, not taking the matter to heart: "It's just a few flies buzzing around. Let's move forward with our plan. The first batch of combat troops will be stationed in the city today, right?"

"Yes, many initiatives involving a wider grassroots level have also begun, and if you count the time... it has already started."

"Well, since India is so eager to get involved, I have an idea now."

Su Xun pondered for a moment, then edited a message and sent it to Shao Xuezhen.

That afternoon, people in ASEAN heard a report that the Academy of Sciences had discovered a special fungus in cats, dogs, and rats that could cause these animals to exhibit symptoms of madness. Pet owners were advised to lock their pets away and wait for professionals to come and observe them.

As this is a newly discovered fungus, there is currently no particularly effective treatment method, and relevant methods are being studied intensively.

"Rabies? To be fair, stray cats and dogs really need to be managed. A friend of mine was scratched by a stray cat, and the vaccine was expensive; it cost me half a month's salary."

"These symptoms sound like zombie symptoms, like a fungal zombie dog? Interesting. Let me tell my Land Shield 3000!"

This news is bound to cause unease for many cat and dog owners.

"Pets? No way, our pets are perfectly normal."

"What should we do? Will someone come and take the pet away?"

Soon, many people started publicizing the matter online.

"No, we're just going to check on them. As long as they're locked up, it'll be fine."

"But stray cats and dogs seem to be arrested. Don't take your pets out recently. If you must go out, keep them on a leash or in a bag. If they're not on a leash, they'll be treated as stray cats."

While the public is discussing this extensively, another matter has also attracted much attention.

Countless soldiers appeared in groups on the road, and armored vehicles that had only ever been seen on television formed a long, seemingly endless line, with the barrels of their cannons reflecting a cold, eerie light.

The earth trembled, and soon this chilling atmosphere spread to all regions.

"What's going on? Are they going into the city to catch dogs??" "This... can't be right? So many people catching dogs? Did the dogs break some kind of law?"

"They can't be here to catch cats and mice, can they? Jerry and Tom woke up to find the sky had fallen."

"Anyway, they're definitely not here to arrest me."

Countless people were confused, but contrary to what many people imagined, none of the units that entered the city took any further action. Most of them relied on a vehicle and appeared in groups on street corners, supermarket entrances, or near various residential areas, where they conducted training and duty in place.

There was also a veteran who brought a few reservists to teach combat skills, but overall, these people seemed to just be standing guard here.

For the people of the signatory countries, such things are very frightening, and a number of comments have emerged.

However, on the Chinese internet, the situation seems to be different from what these people imagined.

"Ahhh, the girl downstairs is so cool! I really want to marry her!"

"Let's get rid of the smell of aluminum and copper..."

"Soldier brother, hehehe, soldier brother..."

"Blue copper, you should tone it down too!!!"

Many of the comments made Su Xun, who was in the base, frown, but fortunately there were still many normal ones.

"With the situation so chaotic right now, they'll only feel at ease after entering the city."

"Waaaaah, they really rest on the street, and they probably sleep on the street too? I feel like history is repeating itself!"

Many similar topics flooded the internet, and the long-standing good practices became the ballast and anchor of the entire social situation. The domestic environment, which had been somewhat chaotic due to recent events, instantly stabilized.

Of course, there were also negative voices, but these voices were quickly suppressed under the guidance and control of public opinion.

ASEAN has raised its control level further due to the recent situation. The troops that entered the city did not catch dogs, but instead took down a number of people spreading rumors.

In a short time, the social atmosphere in various places was rectified.

"So far, our plan is going smoothly, and it's not as difficult for the public to accept as we imagined."

"Speaking of which, we should thank them. If it weren't for this, we wouldn't have been able to accomplish so many things so smoothly."

"To be honest, I'm starting to suspect that this was a planned operation."

"The only issue we need to be careful about now is to get the public to accept the regulation of pets as peacefully as possible, without provoking too much dissatisfaction. We must do a good job in the relevant work."

Many people have genuine feelings for their pets, and as a manager, even if you don't support or agree with it, you must still consider the matter itself.

Fortunately, people in ASEAN are already quite adept at this kind of thing. They've done it before, not just locking up pets, but even locking themselves up.

While we were talking, someone spotted some new information.

The Pope of Hinduism held a press conference, where he not only did not refute the rumors, but also directly acknowledged the matter, stating that the fungus was extracted from his own holy water and was a gift from God.

Su Xun and the others exchanged bewildered glances: "Uh... didn't we make this up ourselves?"

"Are the opponents actually on our side this time?"
