Chapter 878 VG
"Wow!"
Water splashed everywhere, and the black dog leaped up, rushing out of the underground parking garage like a cannonball.
The sound of the rain suddenly became several times louder, and the rain poured down on my body, leaving only a chaotic gray-white view as far as the eye could see!
This doesn't seem like rain, it's like the Heavenly Lake overflowing!
The woman's back was bent as she shielded the child in her arms from the rain, and she barely opened her eyes to look around.
The streets had turned into a muddy river, with thick trees lying on the roadside and trash cans floating forward in the water.
The power system was completely paralyzed, there were no streetlights, not a single shop was still open, and only the torrential rain kept pounding on the buildings, making a rapid, apocalyptic reverberation.
After rushing out, the woman realized that the water on the road was almost as deep as her calves, and the swirling water made a gurgling sound, as the sewers greedily swallowed the water.
However, in some places, the drainage system is already overwhelmed, with groundwater gushing out and former manhole covers now spewing out sewage.
The woman couldn't help but shiver.
If someone accidentally steps on it, they'll fall down instantly, right?
She held the child tightly while instinctively pressing herself against the speeding black dog.
She thought that leaving the underground parking garage would allow her to return to her warm home, but in reality, she couldn't even find a safe place to stay.
At this moment, this strange and exceptionally agile creature became their only safe haven.
Suddenly, the woman realized that the sensation beneath her was a little strange.
The black dog's soft fur was as smooth as silk, but the skin beneath it lacked warmth and firm, elastic muscles.
On the contrary, its body has a hard, rigid feel, like sitting on a carousel in an amusement park.
When the black dog is running or swimming, its back does not show obvious undulations, the muscles lack the rhythm of alternating contraction and relaxation, and even the spine does not have the up-and-down undulating movement like a dolphin.
The woman slowly withdrew her hand, her fingers curled tightly in her palm, her whole body stiff, except for her fingers which trembled slightly uncontrollably.
“Clatter, clatter…”
The black dog carried the two of them as they ran with all their might. Suddenly, it was as if they had passed through an invisible membrane, and the surrounding sounds and pressure changed abruptly!
The rain intensified instantly; what was a raging waterfall just seconds before, pounding so hard it made it impossible to open one's eyes, had now become a comfortable moderate rain.
The woman suddenly opened her eyes and turned around in disbelief.
Just a few meters behind, dense rain lines, like a white curtain, blurred everything into a chaotic shadow, as if an endless river was rolling down vertically from the sky!
This is an exceptionally clear and well-defined band of extreme rainstorms!
She was completely stunned by this magical scene, staring blankly at the rain wall.
If it weren't for the unusually clear sensations of cold and pain in her body, she would have truly thought she was trapped in a bizarre dream.
Just then, the woman felt her body sway—
The black dog bent its leg and swayed, and before the woman could react, she involuntarily slid off its back while holding the child.
She stood on the stone steps, next to a budget hotel, the warmth and dryness inside seeming endlessly alluring at that moment.
But the woman didn't go in immediately. Seeing the black dog about to leave, she quickly called out, "Wait!"
The black dog turned around and looked at her quietly, just like before.
The woman pinched her palms hard, mustered her courage, and said, "Um... thank you... for saving us!"
Her voice trembled with nervousness: "And...and...you are...I mean...how should I address you?"
The black dog tilted its head, seemingly deep in thought.
A moment later, it walked toward the woman, raised its front paws, and flipped over.
The woman paused, looked down, and noticed a strange symbol on the black dog's paw—"9...triangle? Is this some kind of brand logo? Is it your number? No, that's not right..."
She suddenly realized that the symbol should be read upside down.
"VG?"
The black dog lowered its front paws, seemingly indicating that she was right.
The woman asked cautiously, "Is this your master's name? Or... is this you?"
The black dog's eyes crinkled as if it were smiling.
The woman thought she was seeing things and rubbed her eyes. When she opened them again, she found that the black dog did not answer her question, but quietly turned around and disappeared back into the raging rain.
This time, no matter how much it was called from behind, it did not turn around.
"Mother--"
The child, curled up in the woman's arms, looked up. His attention was diverted by the black dog, and he unconsciously forgot his previous fright.
The child asked softly, "Did the dog go to save more people? Isn't it a superhero?"
The woman gazed at the rain, hugging her child even tighter, her palms seemingly still able to feel that unusual sensation.
She closed her eyes briefly, then said softly but firmly:
"Yes, baby...it is our superhero."
"I know!" the child clapped his hands and said excitedly, "Just like Spider-Man... he's Dog Man!"
Just then, the hotel door behind them creaked open, and a flashlight beam swept over.
"What's going on? I think I heard..."
The hotel manager was speaking when the light shone on the mother and child, who were soaking wet.
"Good heavens! Ladies, what's going on here... Quick! Come in! Joseph, get me a blanket!"
He exclaimed in surprise, not bothering to ask any questions, and hurriedly welcomed the two shivering people into the warm and dry hotel lobby.
……
While the young mother and her child found shelter that night, many others were truly enduring hardship in the storm.
"what--!!!"
In the dead of night, a piercing scream suddenly rang out from inside a luxurious building that resembled a crystal palace, waking everyone who was fast asleep.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
The couple, dressed in silk pajamas, quickly turned on their flashlights and rushed into their daughter's bedroom, anxiously asking what was wrong.
"Snails!" The girl jumped to the doorway and pointed to her window. "So many snails! It's disgusting!"
When the light shone on them, the couple gasped in surprise at the same time.
Snails could be seen crawling in from all over the place – on the windowsill, walls, floorboards, and even the ceiling.
"Don't be afraid! It must be because of the rain outside." The man of the house frowned but said calmly, "I'll have the housekeeper take some people and catch all these snails!"
But as soon as he stepped out of the room, he couldn't help but let out a scream!
There were even swarms of black insects on the floor outside the bedroom!
It's not just snails, but also beetles, cockroaches, ants, spiders, and centipedes!
These insects are rarely seen; have they all come to his house for a meeting now?
