In the silence, people inside and outside the building began to question the meaning of life.

Inside the command vehicle, Xiao Zhou stared at the monitor screen, his fingers hovering above the keyboard, maintaining the same posture for a full thirty seconds.

He played the video three times, then silently turned off the screen, leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and did eye exercises.

He didn't understand the process of this matter, nor did he need to; the outcome was ultimately good.

Thanks to Cangxuan's help, the rescue of the old cat went much more smoothly than expected. Before the rescue team even entered the scene, they had already freed themselves.

"So next..." Chen Feng began, his voice still somewhat unsteady.

"Should we find a place to hide and wait for the main force?" Old Cat chimed in, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

A different kind of light ignited in Chen Feng's eyes.

He looked at Cang Xuan with a completely new assessment in his eyes. He was no longer looking at a pet dog that needed protection, but at a... comrade-in-arms.

"We can definitely continue our operation!" Chen Feng rubbed his hands together, eager to try.

The treatment of a dog that needs protection is vastly different from that of a dog with exceptional fighting power.

Knowing that he had such a great help by his side, Chen Feng did not want to let this opportunity slip by.

Besides, they're already inside, ready to reap the rewards, and their safety is basically guaranteed, so what's there to be afraid of?

And so, Lao Mao and Chen Feng hit it off immediately.

The leadership team, who were away from home, overheard this conversation via communication and found it quite amusing.

"Alright, go ahead." The commander's voice came through, tinged with helplessness and indulgence. "Be careful. The main force will be entering in five minutes. Don't rush ahead and get yourself killed."

"clear!"

……

The two people and the dog came out of the infirmary and stopped at the fork in the corridor.

Old Cat suddenly grabbed Chen Feng, then turned to Cang Xuan, clasped his hands together, and solemnly bowed.

"Brother Dog," he said, his tone as devout as if worshipping a god, "I believe in your abilities, given how you managed to find this place. Which way to go next? Lead the way!"

Chen Feng: ? ? ?

He watched the old cat wave goodbye to a dog and was momentarily speechless.

Cang Xuan was also taken aback.

He had lived for a long time and had met quite a few people since meeting Qin Ming, but this was the first time he had ever paid homage to someone so solemnly.

Actually... having him lead the way isn't bad either. Cang Xuan closed his eyes and pondered, sensing and discerning the information in the air. There was the smell of fighting dogs, medicine, and faint sobs.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and jogged off to lead the way.

Chen Feng looked shocked, while Lao Mao had a smug look on his face, as if he had known. However, the two of them quickly followed.

Chen Feng lowered his voice: "I wonder where Cang Xuan will take us?"

Old Cat confidently said, "Just follow along. If we don't find anything, we can consider it eliminating the wrong options. Anyway, the main force hasn't arrived yet, so let's treat this as a preliminary reconnaissance."

Old Cat has a good attitude. Or rather, after experiencing what just happened, he has developed an almost blind trust in this dog.

Cang Xuan made several turns and twists, passing through several corridors, and finally stopped in front of a heavy iron gate.

A faint sobbing sound and the rattling of chains came from behind the door.

Chen Feng and Lao Mao exchanged a glance—the dogfighting cage.

After Cangxuan pushed it open with his paw, there was a huge space inside, with dozens of iron cages arranged in rows, each containing a dog.

Most of them were already unconscious, some were still struggling, but their eyes were unfocused and crazed. The air was filled with the smells of blood, drugs, and feces.

"That's inhuman!" Old Cat cursed through gritted teeth. "They're all injured! They're just using them as money-making tools."

Many of the dogs were covered in wounds, some still bleeding, but none of them had been treated. The cages were filthy and there wasn't even any water.

Although I had heard before that the fate of a defeated dogfighting dog is terrible, I still couldn't bear to watch it.

"Let's stay here and keep watch, and apply some more medicine," Chen Feng said, already rummaging through the first-aid kit he carried.

"I guess Cangxuan brought us here out of a desire to help his fellow humans," the old cat sighed. "What a kind dog!"

As they spoke, the two didn't slow down their work. Old Cat quickly walked to the door to stand guard, vigilantly observing both ends of the corridor.

Chen Feng squatted in front of an iron cage, trying to unlock it, but after half a second, he fell silent.

Why does this lock look so familiar?

Solid, made of high-quality steel, exactly the same as the one he had just seen on Old Cat's wrist!

Chen Feng took a deep breath, stubbornly tried to pry it open, and then took out a multi-tool to pry it open again, but he couldn't even leave a mark.

He raised his head and looked at Cang Xuan with a complicated expression.

Cang Xuan understood, stepped forward, and opened his mouth.

bang.

The lock is broken.

Chen Feng: ...

Even though it wasn't the first time they'd seen it, the two still grimaced and gasped.

As Chen Feng opened the cage door, he suddenly exclaimed, "We were right not to register Cang Xuan for dog fighting!"

The old cat was taken aback: "?"

Chen Feng pointed to the lock that had broken in two on the ground.

"Its teeth are too good. If it were on the field, the opponents wouldn't even be able to withstand a bite from it."

"So it's a good thing it didn't go on the field, otherwise if it had seen blood and its personality had changed drastically, it would have been a waste of such a good dog."

Cang Xuan was gnawing on the lock of the second cage when he heard this, and his ears twitched.

He stopped what he was doing, looked up, and stared at the two of them several times with an indescribable look in his eyes.

These two people's thought processes are just... well, never mind, I won't argue with mortals.

Although these two were outrageous with their words, they were quite efficient with their hands.

Cang Xuan lowered his ears to block out his hearing and continued working. He carried out one wounded fighting dog after another from the cage door he had bitten open.

Some were still conscious, but none of them dared to act recklessly in front of Cang Xuan. In short, the entire rescue operation proceeded in an orderly manner.

As Cangxuan moved each dog, he would check its vital signs to ensure that none of them were in mortal danger and required immediate rescue.

Chen Feng also stepped forward one by one to apply medicine, bandage, and feed the injured dogs.

It wasn't until he bit open a cage, carried it around in his mouth, and sensed it that Cang Xuan froze, his steps halting.

This feeling...?

Cang Xuan quickly put it down and examined it carefully.

This dog is not large, with gray and white fur, and looks like a mixed breed, so it doesn't look much different from other fighting dogs.

But the spiritual energy he used to sense things just now has indeed disappeared without a trace. Could it be that...?

So, Cang Xuan stayed put and guarded the dog.

This unconventional attitude quickly caught the attention of Chen Feng and his companion.

"What's wrong?" Chen Feng thought the dog was beyond saving and rushed over.

Breathing is a little weak, body temperature is a little high, and heart rate is a little fast, but... isn't that how it is?

However, Cang Xuan rarely stayed by his side. He had already proven his abilities along the way, so there must be some problem that he had overlooked!

Chen Feng's mind raced as he repeatedly checked the bleeding wounds from his first aid bandages, regretting that he hadn't studied harder during the first aid extension course.

Cang Xuan, who was waiting nearby, was unwilling to wait any longer.

He just checked it, how could he not know? He just wanted to let people know the truth, but this person is dragging his feet and hasn't said a word for a long time.

So he pushed Chen Feng aside and took the white dog away.

Chen Feng: ?
