Chapter 198: Chapter 113 Mad Dog Eats People_2

The two of them walked leisurely in the night breeze and, by the time they returned to the school gate, it was already past 9 p.m.

"You should head back!"

Gu Qingxiang wasn’t a local from Haijing; after graduation, she stayed in the city to work. Therefore, she didn’t have her own place and currently rented a room in the Boxue Community, over three hundred meters away from Haijing Polytechnic.

The space wasn’t large, one bedroom and one living room, about 40 square meters, but it cost 4500 yuan a month.

"I’ll walk you home."

Lin Baici had nothing else to do anyway.

Gu Qingxiang felt a bit embarrassed but didn’t reject Lin Baici’s kindness.

"How’s college life treating you? Are you getting used to it?"

Gu Qingxiang asked.

"Pretty good!"

Lin Baici thought attending college surely couldn’t be more dangerous than exploring God’s ruins, could it? Besides, he was wealthy now, had his career path planned, and only needed to study casually — simply ensuring he didn’t fail his finals made everything seem easy-peasy.

Well,

The only issue might be the lack of a girlfriend. After all, even with wine and meat aplenty, without a girlfriend, something felt missing.

While they chatted casually, a scream suddenly pierced the air from a nearby alley.

"Wait here for me!"

Lin Baici left that remark and immediately dashed towards the sound.

"Be careful!"

Gu Qingxiang didn’t listen to Lin Baici and also ran after him.

The Boxue Community was an old neighborhood with more than twenty years under its belt and mostly inhabited by tenants, primarily students from Haijing Polytechnic.

Some people, after graduating and not wanting to return to their hometowns, stayed to look for jobs, while others moved out during their university years.

That alley was a shortcut from the community back to the school.

Years ago, there had been incidents of female students being robbed there, but with the widespread adoption of mobile payments and fewer people carrying cash, and the plethora of surveillance cameras on the streets, public safety had significantly improved.

"I hope it’s just a robbery!"

Gu Qingxiang was quite worried.

Having phones and jewelry stolen was, at worst, a financial loss, but if a girl was harmed, the trauma could cast a lifetime shadow. However, seeing Lin Baici rush into the alley in just a few breaths, she immediately felt relieved.

Lin Baici’s tall stature, along with the fearlessness he displayed against a dozen individuals and his forceful punch, filled her with confidence in this young man.

The lighting in the small alley was dim, either due to years of neglect or energy-saving measures, as the installed bulbs were low wattage.

The twilight added to the terrifying atmosphere; if the weather was bad and there was no moonlight at night, women would likely be too scared to take this route.

"Help me!"

A girl’s cry for help.

"Stop!"

Lin Baici shouted. He had rushed over, thinking it might be a robbery or some hooliganism, but instead, he found a filthy golden retriever biting a girl.

"A mad dog?"

Lin Baici frowned.

The dog kept tearing at the girl, its fur matted and filthy, tangled in clumps and spotty with dirt.

Despite the dim light, Lin Baici could still make out the dog’s bloodshot eyes and the constant drool dripping from its mouth.

When the golden retriever saw someone charging over, it immediately ceased biting the girl and lunged at Lin Baici.

He could end the fight in a moment with Muscle Buddha, but that ability, if seen by others, entailed a heap of trouble. Better to use Clay Human instead.

Actually, Lin Baici hadn’t planned to intervene personally, though he was more than capable of winning the fight; a scratch from the rabid dog would still necessitate a rabies vaccine.

"Come to think of it, given my constitution, I probably wouldn’t get rabies, right?"

Divine Grace Activation, Red Rolling Stone.

A clay human appeared in the shadow at the corner of the alley, swinging its sling loaded with a stone.

"Woof!"

The golden retriever barked furiously as it charged, suddenly propelling its body forward, pouncing toward Lin Baici.

But as its body leaped into the air, before it could sink its teeth into Lin Baici, a Flying Stone struck it directly in the left eye.

Bang!

Yowl!

The golden retriever yelped in pain, losing its balance midair.

Lin Baici took the opportunity to jump, perform a spinning back kick, and landed it squarely on the rabid dog’s head.

Bang!

Yowl!

Another howl from the dog as it was kicked sideward, crashing into a wall.

Bang!

The mad dog tumbled to the ground, still struggling to get up.

Lin Baici rushed over in two quick strides and delivered another powerful flying kick to its head.

Bang!

The mad dog was knocked unconscious.

Lin Baici wanted to pick up a brick to smash the mad dog’s head in, but the sanitation workers kept the area relatively clean, and aside from a few empty milk tea cups and fast-food boxes, he couldn’t find any suitable weapon.

"Are you okay?"

Lin Baici approached the girl and saw her arms, her legs, her clothes torn, all with bite marks, stained with blood.

"Wuwuwu!"

The girl was crying.

"Don’t be afraid, the mad dog has been taken down, and you haven’t been disfigured. Find a good doctor, and you won’t have any scars on your body!"

Lin Baici reassured her.

"Student Lin, what happened?"

Gu Qingxiang arrived, panting heavily.

"There was a mad dog!"

Lin Baici explained while also dialing 120: "It’s knocked out but not dead yet."

"Okay, I’ll call the school’s security office right now to let them bring tools to deal with it. How’s the girl doing?"

Gu Qingxiang made the call.

"She’s been bitten, but her life doesn’t seem to be in danger!"

Lin Baici intended to let go of the girl, but she kept grasping him; it wasn’t for any other reason but sheer fear and shock.

"You’re a student from Haijing Polytechnic, right? Which major? What’s your advisor’s name?"

Gu Qingxiang prepared to call the girl’s advisor, but the girl was too unstable and crying uncontrollably, unable to communicate normally.
