Chapter 1258 The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (139)

The Amnesiac Black Panther and His Poor Little Beauty (139)

As a Border Collie, Dolly has always been praised by humans for its intelligence.

It has known it was smart since it was a kitten, and it doesn't just think it's smart because humans praise it.

It was because Dolly discovered that she could understand what humans were saying, and even understand what they meant.

This is not common among dogs, and it is also something that other pets it knows cannot do.

Therefore, Dolly always thought he was very smart.

This intelligence also brought it many conveniences. Humans taught it many skills to please them, so it lived well before the apocalypse. Although it had to follow human commands, it only needed to be patient with humans to obtain shelter from the wind and rain and receive food on time every day.

In addition, it also receives various kinds of food from humans from time to time, who praise it for being smart and well-behaved. Its life can be described as very wonderful.

After the apocalypse, its life became somewhat worse.

The number of humans that were once ubiquitous has decreased, and they no longer feed it indiscriminately because of its intelligence. It has even encountered some humans who want to capture, kill, and eat it. The world seems to have become filled with malice overnight.

Fortunately, it was indeed very clever; it became even stronger despite the difficult world around it.

With sharper eyes, more powerful claws and fangs, it once again earned human praise, but this time humans no longer praised it for being obedient and intelligent; instead, they praised its loyalty and strength.

Dolly thinks she actually likes humans quite a bit because they always praise her from various angles, and she gets care from them, which solves her problems with clothing, fur, shelter, and transportation.

Until new changes occur.

The Border Collie, sitting upright on the other side of the table, had eyes full of wisdom and a calm expression. If you only looked at those eyes, many people might mistake them for human eyes.

"Although we are animals, we have awakened consciousness as living beings and have come to understand our own existence."

“Just like you humans, we now have intelligence and are no longer ignorant pets, so you shouldn’t treat us like pets.”

Song Ning painstakingly 'translated' the Border Collie's meaning, and immediately received an approving nod from the other party.

He wanted to cover his face because he never imagined he would one day become a pet translator. No, wait.

According to the Border Collie, he should now be an animal translator, not a pet.

There were about twenty people sitting at the long table. Many of the people from the base that Song Ning knew were sitting there, but there were also some people he didn't recognize.

"You don't even have the ability to communicate, so how can you prove that you now possess wisdom and awaken consciousness? This kind of thing cannot be concluded casually based on unreliable translations."

Someone raised an objection.

Song Ning was very glad that he didn't have to translate for the Border Collie, otherwise he would have taken the opportunity to criticize the person who questioned his translation skills.

Is his translation unreliable?

There's no one more reliable in the whole world. Well, actually there is, but the truly reliable one is Lance, not him.

The Border Collie clearly understood what the other party said and let out a few low barks.

The big cat maintained its lazy posture as always, and also let out a low growl. However, compared to the Border Collie, its growl was clearly gentler towards Song Ning.

“Mr. Song, please don’t mind what he said. Please continue translating Dolly’s meaning for us.”

Captain Man crossed his legs and put them on the edge of the table, glared at the man who had raised the objection with a cold smile, and then, under Ms. Liao's gaze, put his legs down and spoke to Song Ning.

"Okay, actually I won't take trivial things to heart."

Song Ning grinned.

He was specially invited by the base to be a translator; the fact that he was invited already shows what kind of attitude and view the base has towards him.

Some people try to challenge his position with just a few words? That's ridiculous. Who pays attention to people like that?

"Dolly means that it doesn't think they need to prove themselves because this world doesn't belong to humans, and all living things, whether intelligent or not, can coexist with humans."

Song Ning couldn't help but look at Dolly with admiration. She was so smart. She never had to prove herself when questioned, something many humans couldn't do.

The person's expression didn't look good after being rebuked like that.

Song Ning continued, "Moreover, it came here this time to discuss its cooperation with the base. It believes that it does not need to prove whether it has intelligence, but rather that the base has already proven that it needs their existence."

"But now it believes that the base previously paid them wages unilaterally, rather than reaching a cooperation agreement after consultation with them."

These words caused a slight commotion in the small meeting room, with several people whispering among themselves.

Clearly, no one expected that this meeting would take this turn.

Ms. Liao calmed down before anyone else. She quickly understood the meaning behind those words, and her originally neutral gaze softened.

"So it is indeed our base that has been impolite, and it is also humanity that has been impolite, making decisions on its own without consulting you."

"No, what does this have to do with us? We were the ones who took care of them kindly before they were useless..."

Some people couldn't help but protest.

Dolly looked at him and barked twice.

Ms. Liao also stopped the man from speaking, saying, "What you said is even more rude. We keep them because of our kindness, and we shouldn't impose our will on others or other creatures."

Song Ning also translated in a timely manner, "Dolly said that it believes in one thing at a time. If we're talking about those things, it can also compensate humanity, but right now the focus is on discussing future cooperation between the two sides."

After he finished speaking, he noticed Ms. Liao's words and couldn't help but look over.

Ms. Liao still looked elegant and calm. Her body looked much thinner, but her inner strength remained as strong as ever.

“We don’t need compensation. During that time, it was a decision we all made together because we genuinely liked you. We’re paying for what we liked.”

Dolly was stunned. Its two black and white ears drooped slightly, and then its tail, hidden behind its back, couldn't help but twitch back and forth several times.

He still likes some humans very much.

The previously cold and hard atmosphere suddenly softened. Everyone in the conference room recalled the healing that the adorable pets brought them after the chaos of the apocalypse, and their hearts softened.

Yes, they were paying for what they loved during those days, but didn't those adorable pets also make sacrifices? The healing feeling that pets provide is something that humans themselves cannot provide.
