"This is Woof Star, and dogs are the masters of this world." Hu Jiu calmly stated this shocking conclusion.
"The humans in this world are like pets kept by dogs; we, the humans who have transmigrated here, are invaders."
Upon hearing this, Mike wore an expression of disbelief, as did countless other transmigrators who followed Hu Jiu and Du Zhong.
But no one dared to refute it, because they had already seen it with their own eyes, but they were unwilling and dared not believe it, until Hu Jiu bluntly revealed this bloody reality.
After the truth was revealed, problems arose.
"Should we continue killing?" a middle-aged transmigrator asked, frowning.
He was furious when he saw the dissected human corpses in the lab, and he wanted to kill all these intelligent dogs.
But now the facts are clear: they, the humans, are the invaders. He feels somewhat uncomfortable with this identity and instinctively wants to negotiate.
After all, the number of time travelers is definitely a minority compared to the number of intelligent dogs in the world. No matter how strong they are, how long can they last?
"We possess more advanced technology, and we can choose to cooperate with the dogs of this world, exchanging technology for living space. I imagine those dogs would agree, just like some countries attract foreign investment; it's a good thing for both sides."
Hu Jiu and Du Zhong looked at the middle-aged man who proposed peace talks with the same eyes they would give an idiot, but many people in the transmigrator group were persuaded by him and spoke up to support him.
Du Zhong was about to open his mouth to criticize when Hu Jiu raised his hand to stop him, smiling as he said, "What you say makes a lot of sense. In that case, we'll leave the peace talks to you."
The middle-aged man was taken aback. "Aren't you two going?"
Hu Jiu maintained his chilling smile and said, "We won't go. After all, all we know is fighting and killing, and we don't really agree with peace talks either, since the two sides can't even communicate in the same language..."
The middle-aged man hesitated. "No, this matter needs to be handled by you. I'm just an ordinary person with no power; I'd probably encounter danger if I went to negotiate..."
Du Zhong rolled his eyes. "Looks like you understand too. Force is the prerequisite for negotiation. Anyway, I disagree with peace talks, and there's no way we can negotiate."
"A planet can only support the development of one intelligent race. When a second intelligent race emerges, there is no third way unless one is completely annihilated or both are destroyed."
The middle-aged man was slightly annoyed. "We are a peace-loving people, and we should not initiate aggression..."
Hu Jiu waved his hand, not wanting to listen to his nonsense, so he made taste buds grow at the end of his intestines.
The eerie green Ghost Fire began to burn from a corner of the city, spreading extremely rapidly.
Fierce Ghosts and Terrifying Upright Apes roam the city, indiscriminately slaughtering all residents.
"Aliens! Aliens are attacking!"
"Help! Someone please help me!"
"Oh my god, it's an intelligent hairless upright ape! We're doomed!"
A group of Border Collie police officers, their muzzles covered with weapons, collapsed to the ground in terror, their limbs trembling, unable to muster any thought of resistance.
I initially thought it was just marketing hype, but it turns out it's true! These strange creatures have really invaded the world!
Is Heaven going to kill the dog?
The deafening barking of dogs filled the air, irritating Hu Jiu, who then intensified the burning of the Ghost Fire.
"Ghost Fire'- the-wisps are so convenient for clearing out mobs. Once a living being gets stuck on them, it will keep burning until it's burned to a dead body," Hu Jiu said.
Du Zhong asked, "Do you have any means to cause a mass extinction event on the entire world?"
Hu Jiu thought for a moment and said, "There are many ways. Pulling the moon down to crash into the continent, releasing a ghost plague to continuously infect, or causing other Supernatural Disasters are not problems for me."
Du Zhong asked, "You have so many ways to destroy the world, and you usually love destroying the world, so why aren't you actively doing it this time? Could it be that you've taken pity on the puppy?"
Hu Jiu chuckled, "I just found it interesting."
"What's so interesting about it? I just feel a little disgusted," Du Zhong calmly stated his thoughts.
Hu Jiu asked him, "Didn't you notice anything unusual?"
Du Zhong rolled his eyes skyward. "I hate riddle tellers!"
Hu Jiu didn't keep them in suspense and dragged Du Zhong directly into an office building by the roadside.
All the dogs in the office building are dead. Hu Jiu pointed to a broken computer and asked, "Look what this is?"
"The computer, how come..." Du Zhong suddenly stopped mid-sentence, his gaze fixed on the computer keyboard.
Hu Jiu's fingers brushed across the keyboard. "These are Arabic numerals, but the positions have been slightly changed to make them more suitable for dogs to tap with their front paws."
"How could this be?" Du Zhong's expression was strange. He had been shocked by this peculiar world dominated by dogs and hadn't noticed these details before. Now, it seemed terrifying to think about.
"How can Arabic numerals, the same as those used by humans, appear in a world ruled by dogs?" Hu Jiu's voice was cold and hard, yet tinged with doubt.
"Actually, besides these, other aspects of this world are very similar to the human world, such as social structure, architectural structure, political power structure... everything imitates human society, only the roles of dogs and humans are reversed."
"I suspect that the emergence of advanced intelligence in dogs and their dominance over the world is not a natural evolution, but rather..."
"External intervention!" -- Du Zhong and Hu Jiu uttered these four words simultaneously.
The burning Ghost Fire formed Ghost Domain, trapping the entire city. Not a single dog could escape alive; they were all reduced to ashes by the Ghost Fire.
The Ghost Fire spread to nearby cities, turning millions of dogs of different breeds into corpses, with only a very few still clinging to life.
The transmigrators who originally advocated peace talks with dogs all shut their mouths; they never imagined that Hu Jiu and Du Zhong would be this powerful!
If that's the case, then what's the point of negotiating?
Get those dog-shaped red bean pastes!
Red bean paste!
Before long, an army of countless dogs arrived and surrounded the burning city.
"Those strange creatures are in the city," a black dog barked, its voice choked with emotion.
From afar, they could see the corpses of their kind scattered all over the ground, countless bodies piled together—the scene was truly horrific!
Those bipedal, upright creatures have absolutely no canine nature!
"Prepare for firepower and wipe them out!" the Tibetan Mastiff general roared fiercely, thinking about how much merit he could earn if he won this battle.
Its army was so large and its soldiers so well-equipped that it did not believe it could be defeated; it only needed to consider how much benefit it could gain if it won.
At a military command, countless dogs prepared their cannons and aimed them at the city.
Just a second before the shell was about to be fired, a pale gray mist suddenly rose up, both eerie and ominous.
Bang!
The dog that came into direct contact with the gray fog collapsed to the ground, howling in pain. Its teeth gradually sharpened, its eyes became bloodshot, and it slowly lost its mind.
"What's going on?" the Tibetan Mastiff general asked in surprise.
No dog answered its question. As the gray fog spread, more and more dogs were affected, mutating and then losing their minds, attacking their companions. Dogs bitten or scratched also mutated quickly, and hordes of dogs fell!
"General, they seem to have turned into zombie dogs!" a Corgi officer roared.
"Retreat one by one!" the Tibetan Mastiff commander reluctantly gave the order.
The mission has not yet been accomplished!
Behind the army's positions, the same gray fog began to spread, and more and more dogs turned into zombies.
The Tibetan Mastiff's face turned deathly pale; it knew it was doomed.
The entire dog army was wiped out.
In a corner of the city, a puppy that had just been born collapsed and lost its life forever.
The mother dog hissed beside the puppy, "Why? Why are you doing this to it? It's just a baby!"
The enraged female dog opened her blood-red maw and viciously bit her newly adopted pet—a 6-year-old male human.
Human infants who have not received any traditional education are essentially just more intelligent animals; when they are bitten to death by dogs, they don't understand what happened.
After killing her own pet human, the mother dog picked up the puppies' corpses and charged towards the time travelers wandering the city.
"Bang--"
The mother dog was shot in the head.
The transmigrator who fired the shot looked grim. Behind him followed a large group of scantily clad people, all of whom were the "pets" he had rescued.
These people are generally very good-looking, while some are extremely ugly, representing two extremes. They are illiterate and cannot speak, and are basically left with only animal instincts.
He brought these people back to the group of time travelers and dressed them in some clothes.
They were all well-behaved and did not resist.
One of the time travelers said with pity, "These people treated like pets—the young children can still be saved; we can teach them language and writing to develop their brains. But the older ones and those who have been spayed or neutered are no different from animals. What should we do with them?"
Hu Jiu's suggestion was very simple and blunt. "Euthanasia."
Someone immediately retorted, "No, these are our own kind!"
Hu Jiu shrugged indifferently. "Do as you please. Whoever saves someone is responsible for their own actions. Don't come looking for me."
Transmigrators continue to enter this world, but apart from the initial few who latched onto Hu Jiu's coattails, most of the other transmigrators meet with bad ends.
At the same time, the dog community is increasingly panicked.
The existence of the Terrifying Upright Ape can no longer be concealed, and the government has no choice but to disclose this information.
"Latest report from Woof-Woof Television Station's Chihuahua host dog: Bone Continent has been taken over by Anomalous Lifeform, with the death toll exceeding 15 million dogs."
"The Anomalous Lifeform has used superweapons that we cannot understand, and we urge the public to be wary of their pet upright apes."
All sorts of terrible information are flooding the dog-related internet.
"Are the national army all useless? Where has all the taxpayers' money gone?!" A fat French Bulldog kept cursing online, unable to even defeat a weak creature like a hairless two-legged animal.
But it soon ran out of arguments as more inside information was revealed.
The ever-burning Ghost Fire, the gray fog that turns healthy dogs into zombie dogs—each one is horrifying.
During a live broadcast by official media, an expert named Dog was invited to discuss his views on the Terrifying Upright Ape.
The scene shifts to a huge cage containing a group of humans. A large yellow dog stands in front of the cage, briefly explaining the differences between these Terrifying Upright Apes and the hairless bipeds the dogs usually keep.
"My God, these Terrifying Upright Apes are so ugly."
"The alien creatures in movies all look like wolves, tigers, and leopards, but I never imagined that real Anomalous Lifeform would look like monkeys. It's unbelievable."
On the screen, the expert, Big Yellow Dog, said, "These Terrifying Upright Apes may be extraterrestrial life forms. They possess advanced technology and are invading our world, but there's no need to be afraid; we have already discovered their weakness."
"These Terrifying Upright Apes can be divided into two categories—those with weapons and those without. Their lethality is completely different. Apart from their more advanced weapons, they are extremely weak. Once they lose their weapons, they are completely at our mercy."
At this point, a tall husky researcher wearing an isolation suit walked into the cage and slapped the strongest human in the cage with one paw.
The human was powerless to resist and was knocked to the ground, dying instantly. The rest of the people in the cage huddled in a corner in terror, afraid to make a sound.
"It seems we don't need to worry about this creature's invasion at all. Dogs are the rulers of this world, and other species will only be eliminated!" the host said excitedly.
This live broadcast effectively alleviated the anxiety of netizens, and countless people felt relieved and no longer tense.
"If only the situation were that simple and straightforward." Inside the government office building, a political strategist sighed.
In the live stream just now, the dog simply and crudely divided the Terrifying Upright Apes into two categories—those with weapons and those without. In fact, they missed mentioning one type—those with superpowers or advanced technology.
These Terrifying Upright Apes are the real threat.
Besides these, some chilling details have been Neglect --
How did these Terrifying Upright Apes manage to arrive on this planet?
According to the investigation, they appear to have appeared in the world without any warning.
What kind of high technology is this?!
Or rather, the Terrifying Upright Ape has mastered supernatural powers!
Some Scholars pessimistically believe that the true fighting power of the Terrifying Upright Ape was probably thousands of years ahead of dogs, and it could destroy the entire planet at any time.
"These Terrifying Upright Apes may be testing something. The first upright apes to arrive on this planet were just the lowest-ranking slaves. Perhaps they don't want to destroy our planet's important resources, so they only used outdated kinetic weapons. But if these Terrifying Upright Apes wanted to, they could probably destroy all the dogs' defenses at any time."
--This is a statement made by a top science enthusiast at a conference, and none of the other scientists at the conference raised any objections.
After the meeting, many of the privileged dogs and their families disappeared, carrying large amounts of supplies, and hid in the shelters that had already been built.
