Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 298 - 290: Naming the Three Little Ones
The little wolf-dog snuggled into Li Yu's arms, rubbing back and forth. Seeing this, Li Yu took out a blanket from behind and placed it underneath.
The little wolf-dog rubbed forcefully into Li Yu's arms twice more, then let out a couple of whiny howls before settling down and no longer moving.
Li Yu stroked the small wolf-dog, feeling its warmth and the fuzzy sensation.
His heart was calm. He hadn't originally planned on rescuing that wolf-dog, nor did he think about adopting these three little ones.
But as he turned his head and locked eyes with the wolf-dog, he who was usually cold and ruthless, felt somewhat moved inside.
It wasn't until after he had rescued these three puppies and they huddled at his feet that he wanted to take them in.
Well, what's saved is saved.
In this apocalyptic world, sometimes, animals are more grateful than humans, more loyal than humans.
The vehicle sped along, the cold wind howled through the windows, and the little dog in Li Yu's arms shivered slightly.
Seeing this, Li Yu simply closed the window. The interior of the car quickly became quiet.
Only the occasional whiny howls added a different color to the sleepy state of everyone.
On the way back, nothing else happened.
...
On another road, Third Uncle drove an SUV and stopped at the same courtyard from before.
He crouched down and carefully inspected the ground, then looked in a certain direction and got into the car.
During the journey, he occasionally stopped to check the road surfaces.
Not until he reached a turnoff at a highway junction did Third Uncle stop again to take a closer look.
"That direction." Third Uncle squinted slightly and said.
...
Meanwhile, four hours later, Li Yu and his party were fast approaching the base.
Seeing the gas station meant they were about to arrive at the base.
"Second Uncle, we're almost back. Get ready. Third Uncle also went to chase after one of their people, so he's not with us," Li Yu said through the walkie-talkie.
"Okay. Did your Third Uncle go alone?" Second Uncle asked.
"Yes, Third Uncle said he was fine on his own. I wanted to go with him, but he seemed to prefer being alone," Li Yu replied helplessly.
"Alright. Okay." Second Uncle said.
"Uh, we're about to..." Li Yu was in the middle of speaking when suddenly a sound came through.
"Howl, howl, howl."
The cute little milk-sounding voice.
"Little Yu, what was that sound just now?" Second Uncle, finding it a bit odd, asked.
"It's nothing. We picked up a few wolf-dogs on the road, just opened their eyes, so we brought them back," Li Yu said.
Upon hearing this, Second Uncle was surprised. Li Yu often appeared indifferent, even somewhat cold and heartless, except when dealing with people from the base.
This made Second Uncle and Third Uncle always worried about Li Yu's state of mind.
Now, he was picking up a few little wolf-dogs?
Could it be he wanted to eat them?
Suddenly, Second Uncle remembered that many years ago, the eldest brother had a dog, and when Li Yu was young, he often saw the dog following Li Yu around.
With this thought, Second Uncle said, "All right, you've worked hard. Hurry back. The little wolf-dog probably can't eat millet porridge, so you can feed it some milk powder instead."
"Mm."
Before long, the gates opened, and Li Yu and the others entered.
The three fluffy little wolf-dogs cradled in Yutong's arms immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Likewise, as a woman, Song Min saw these adorable little wolf-dogs and couldn't resist the maternal glow within her.
Standing beside Yutong, constantly playing with the puppy.
Suddenly Song Min asked, "What are these little wolf dogs' names? Have they been named?"
Yutong was taken aback for a moment, then looked towards Li Yu and said, "These pups were found by Brother Yu, let him name them."
Song Min said with a smile, "Director Li, these little wolf dogs don't have names yet?"
Upon hearing this question, Li Yu suddenly felt an indescribable sensation within him, naming.
It seemed he had never named a person or an animal before. This feeling of bestowing a name to a person or animal was quite wonderful.
Li Yu pondered for a while, thinking.
Then he checked the genders of the three little wolf dogs.
Two males, one female.
Hmm. Then…
Everyone's interest was piqued, and they all wanted to know what kind of imposing name Li Yu would come up with. After all, the mother of these three pups was a genuine, full-grown wolf dog.
Naming them something powerful would sound cool just by calling out their names!
Amidst such anticipation.
Li Yu said, "Hmm. Let's call them Tie Zhu, Gou Dan, and Cui Hua. It's easier to raise them with more common names."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him suddenly looked at Li Yu, their eyes filled with surprise.
They hadn't expected that after several minutes of thinking, Li Yu would come up with such names.
These names, I mean, really...
Amidst everyone's astonished stares, Li Yu remained very calm.
"How do you all think of it?" asked Li Yu.
"Uh, well..."
"Um, that..."
Yutong suddenly found it hard to look directly at the little wolf dogs.
"Then for the time being, let's settle on these names," said Li Yu.
Everyone fell silent; after all, Li Yu was the one who had found the pups, so it was his right to name them.
...
The group entered the base, and it happened to be dinner time.
Li Suxin's eyes lit up when she saw the little wolf dogs Yutong and Li Yu were holding.
Captain Lv and Old Xie's daughters, Xiao Jing and Xiao Fei, also gathered around.
Li Suxin excitedly ran over and said, "Big brother, where did these little wolf dogs come from? They're so cute, give me one, I want to hold it."
Li Suxin tugged at Li Yu's arm, trying to hold the little wolf dog Li Yu was cradling.
Helplessly, Li Yu handed the puppy to Li Suxin, saying, "The puppy is very fragile, be careful holding it."
"Aw woo, aw woo." The little wolf dog felt it was leaving Li Yu's embrace and began to howl incessantly.
Li Suxin nodded her head like a pecking chicken and held the little wolf dog tenderly.
It seemed that the pup hadn't eaten since birth and had been howling all the way, so now it had run out of energy. After a few howls, the little wolf dog gave up weakly.
"Brother, Second Uncle just asked me to prepare some milk powder, is it for feeding these little wolf dogs?" Li Yuan looked at the pups with shining eyes.
It looked like these little wolf dogs had won the affection of the female members of the base.
But it was understandable, as puppies, especially when they are young, are incredibly adorable.
It's like the native dogs from before; they're always cute when they're small but less so when they grow up.
"Yeah, you feed them. Keep an eye on them and don't let these little guys play to death," said Li Yu.
"Got it," responded Li Yuan with a smile. She had wanted to pet them just now but was too shy to fight with the kids over it.
