Chapter 52, just tell me if it's good or not!

clear.

The foggy city had a rare good day, but the scorching sun was not pleasant for many people who work outdoors.

Tian Yong's injuries were not serious. After simple treatment and disinfection, he was fine. Since the local book transportation task was basically over, he did not drive anymore. Instead, he changed into military uniform and became a militiaman.

His act of bravely blocking the vehicle was considered a meritorious deed, and the army appreciated his character. In just a few days, he became the squad leader of a militia platoon, and a brighter future was already foreseeable.

The social upheaval caused a lot of chaos, but it also brought countless opportunities. The barriers between different classes were no longer so rigid, and there were many people like Tian Yong who seized the opportunities.

Now, Tian Yong is on a new mission with several soldiers in his platoon.

"Dr. Zhao, which hospital is this now?"

"The forty-second household, the last one in this community."

Zhao Feng wiped the sweat from his brow, knocked on the door, and heard barking from inside. A woman opened the door a crack, and upon seeing who it was, she knew their purpose and her eyes showed a hint of wariness.

"My dog ​​is not sick, is it necessary to see a doctor?"

"It's reassuring to check if they're sick. Don't worry, even if they are infected, it's not untreatable. Delaying treatment could actually harm their lives."

Zhao Feng explained the situation and persuaded the woman to open the door. What she saw was a Border Collie squatting in the corner and a cat tree in the corner of the room.

Do you still keep cats at home?

No.

Zhao Feng and Tian Yong exchanged a glance and sighed helplessly. They had been away from home a lot these past few days, and they could tell at a glance what kind of pets they kept at home.

"We're not trying to harm you, right? Wouldn't you be heartbroken if your cat got infected?"

"Young lady, don't misunderstand us. We're just here to do a check-up and register things, right? Look how many households we've visited in a day, and we haven't done anything to anyone's pets. If you don't believe me, go ask your neighborhood's WeChat group."

The woman was already somewhat hesitant, and upon hearing this, she lowered her head and took an orange cat out of the bedroom.

Seeing this, the two breathed a sigh of relief, both from the pet owner's cooperation and from the pet's cooperation.

To the woman's surprise, the people who entered did not do anything to her pet. They simply observed it for a while and then took out a few items.

"This is a virus test strip. You can test yourself at home. Try to avoid taking them out recently."

Do you have a cat carrier?

"Yes, yes!" The woman nodded repeatedly. Zhao Feng instructed, "For the next week, keep it in a cage. This virus can affect the nervous system and cause animals to go crazy. Keeping it in a cage will make it easier to control and treat it."

"Put this muzzle on your dog for a week. You can take it off when you eat, but it must be on at other times. Otherwise, if it gets sick and bites someone, the militia will kill it on the spot. I'm not kidding."

"Actually, it doesn't take long. If there are no special symptoms after a week and the test strip doesn't show any reaction, you can remove it."

Several militiamen were pulling small trailers, on which were muzzles for these pet dogs, test strips, and iron cages. If any family did not have a cage, they would simply leave one.

"These test strips and mouth covers are very expensive outside. The government is providing subsidies these days, so our community militia is paying for them all and distributing them for free. If you lose them, you'll have to buy new ones yourself, so please be careful." "In a few days, someone may come to check on you. And please, please don't take them out. If you absolutely have to go out, please make sure they are leashed. They are currently catching stray cats and dogs outside, and any that aren't on a leash will be treated as stray cats and dogs."

The woman quickly agreed, repeatedly assuring him that she would remember, and immediately put a muzzle on her dog.

"Okay, we'll be going then. Remember to spread the word about us on your WeChat Moments and in groups. There are still so many people who don't understand our work and have misunderstandings. They think we come to your door to catch pets. How could that be?"

Amid the woman's repeated thanks, Zhao Feng, Tian Yong, and the others left. Tian Yong remarked, "I admire your smooth talk, Brother Zhao. You can handle anything so easily and quietly."

Zhao Feng smiled and said, "That's how it is with mass work. You have to understand the difficulties of the masses and grasp their emotions in order to do the work well. This method is not difficult."

Tian Yong clicked his tongue in amazement, looking at the other man's upright posture and lean muscles, and suddenly asked, "Are you really from the health center?"

"That can't be false."

"When did buzz cuts become so popular at the health center...?"

"You've been talking too much."

The group walked happily towards the exit of the residential area, only to run into another group of people.

"Hey, Squad Leader Tian, ​​all done with work?"

Tian Yong and his comrades stared wide-eyed as the approaching figure wore a bulletproof vest, a face shield, and a combat helmet. Although many of their attachment points lacked combat equipment such as night vision goggles, the figure's cool appearance was truly eye-catching.

If it weren't for the nets the other party was carrying, Tian Yong would have thought he had encountered a special forces unit.

"Holy crap, you're Old Chen? Where did you guys get all this clothes?"

"Hey, isn't it nice? Go to the armed forces department and get one for each of us militiamen."

Hearing this, Tian Yong's heart surged with excitement. Although he had joined the militia and had handled firearms to some extent, they all belonged to the armed forces. Normal use required training grounds, and they could only be carried on his person when assisting regular troops in carrying out missions. The requirements were extremely strict.

Tian Yong used to be a military enthusiast and genuinely loved these things. It's impossible for him not to be disappointed, since he only went to the training ground for a short while each day to practice actual combat, which was far from enough.

However, as a member of the militia, Tian Yong was already content with the opportunity he had. At first, he thought that being a member of the militia was just about standing guard, marching, and occasionally catching cats and dogs.

But he never expected that something like this would be distributed directly to him.

Although, upon closer inspection, he could see that the equipment on the other side was quite different from real special forces gear, and some parts might have been simplified due to limitations in manufacturing processes and costs, who would refuse a set of standard equipment provided for free?
They look about the same, isn't that enough? You're already a military enthusiast in China, what more could you want?

The group hurried off to the Armed Forces Department. Zhao Feng shook his head behind them, then turned to look at Old Chen: "Aren't you hot dressed like that in this weather?"

"Just tell me if it looks good or not."

"Hey, I heard that ordinary people can buy this set of equipment now, and it's very cheap, but there are limited spots available..."

Before they could finish speaking, Zhao Feng had vanished from their sight. Tian Yong, who hadn't run far, saw the white figure flash past him and was furious: "What are you doing, you little brat, trying to take it from us?!"

"Who knows if we'll even release it? Let's buy it first and see!"
