Mark replied to his message, saying no problem.

Old Dog also replied to him shortly after, confirming no problem.

And informed him that he might be delayed for a while.

He had an appointment with Fang Xiao at 12 o'clock.

After this, Manager Xiao Zhang left his hotel room.

He went to Jiang Ran and Wannara's hotel room.

Upon arriving, he took some of Wannara's personal belongings and placed them in his backpack.

It wasn't that he had some peculiar interest, but he needed her personal items for Old Dog's dogs to smell the scent.

After that, he went to Jiang Ran's bedside.

Looking at Jiang Ran's bed with the unmade sheets.

Manager Xiao Zhang recalled all the moments with Jiang Ran at Alice Apartment.

He smiled faintly.

Then, he returned to his own hotel room.

Sitting on the bed, he picked up a book from the bedside table.

The book was titled: "The Black Chainsaw"

It was his long-deceased father's work.

The book's content was roughly about: the story of a chainsaw murderer.

For the following time, he read this book.

Time soon reached 12 o'clock.

He met up with Mark in his hotel room.

Shortly after meeting, Manager Xiao Zhang suddenly received a message from Old Dog.

Saying he would need to wait until 2:30 PM to help them search for Wannara.

Because the life-and-death battle with Fang Xiao had been rescheduled to 2:30 PM.

Manager Xiao Zhang didn't mind.

So he and Mark went to search for Wannara's traces first.

Manager Xiao Zhang was still dressed as the chainsaw murderer.

As for Mark, he looked like a vampire hunter.

Mark was tall and burly, so playing the vampire hunter role felt completely natural.

The two set out from 12 o'clock, visiting many facilities near the hotel, checking surveillance footage there, searching for Wannara.

They did have some findings.

Wannara had been to the supermarket and taken some water, bread, and other items.

But after leaving, no one knew where she went.

Manager Xiao Zhang felt checking surveillance was useless now, they could only use manpower to search.

They planned to circle around the island, then check inside the island's jungle.

However, just as they were heading toward a beach.

Walking on the cement road.

They saw over a dozen people frantically running toward them.

There were men and women, old and young.

Mark instinctively raised his military crossbow.

Manager Xiao Zhang quickly stopped him, pointing at the dozen people and saying: "They're not coming for us, look at the blood on their clothes. (English)"

Only then did Mark notice these people's clothes were stained with blood to varying degrees.

"What happened to them? Could someone else be hunting them? (English)"

Mark was very confused.

In broad daylight, openly hunting people - was that deranged criminal, that deranged serial killer, insane?

A rat from the sewers coming out in daytime would only face public condemnation.

But soon, as these people were about to run past them.

They discovered it wasn't people hunting them.

But four dogs.

Two large black-gray-yish wolf dogs.

The other two were pure white vicious dogs.

All four dogs had blood around their mouths, looking like they had already injured people and tasted blood.

These four dogs couldn't catch up to the dozen people for the moment, but suddenly seeing two people standing still.

Weren't they perfect targets?

Therefore, they charged directly toward Manager Xiao Zhang and Mark, the two stationary people.

These four dogs all had squinty eyes with bloodshot whites, as if bloodlust had taken over.

In the past, these four dogs would have hesitated before attacking people with weapons.

But now, their brains were filled with bloodlust.

They had lost their reason.

They couldn't care about such things anymore.

Manager Xiao Zhang and Mark were not ordinary people being chased - the situation where four dogs could chase a dozen people would absolutely not happen with them.

Mark gripped his black military crossbow, shooting several arrows whoosh-whoosh-whoosh.

Instantly, two dogs were pinned to the ground, whimpering and howling in pain.

And Manager Xiao Zhang didn't hold back either.

Gripping his black-red oversized chainsaw, he madly cut forward.

The two large dogs, under humanity's invented chainsaw, were like little lambs.

Touching meant injury, contact meant death.

Ultimately, of the four dogs.

Two were shot dead by the crossbow.

One was hacked to death by the chainsaw.

The other was slightly injured and ran away in terror.

"Where did these dogs suddenly come from? (English)"

Mark stared very confused at the dog corpses on the ground.

But Manager Xiao Zhang felt these dogs looked very familiar.

They seemed like... Old Dog's dogs...

"Has Old Dog gone mad? Letting his dogs out to randomly bite people?"

Manager Xiao Zhang had known Old Dog for quite a while and didn't think he was that kind of crazy person.

Old Dog managed his dogs with extreme strictness - this kind of behavior was absolutely impossible.

Only two possibilities remained:

First: These four dogs had escaped on their own.

Second: What Manager Xiao Zhang considered the most impossible scenario.

Old Dog had died, so his dog pack scattered with no one controlling them.

But, how could that be?

With dozens of dogs around him, how could he die?

Manager Xiao Zhang was about to take out his phone to ask Old Dog what happened.

When the dozen people who had been chased by the four dogs all gathered around him and Mark.

Using English or other languages, they were saying thank you, thanks for saving us and similar things.

[Thank you]

This word felt extremely unfamiliar to both Manager Xiao Zhang and Mark.

The two looked at each other.

Neither made a sound.

After the dozen people finished thanking them, they left.

Only then did Manager Xiao Zhang have time to contact Old Dog.

But the message he sent went unanswered for several minutes.

So, Manager Xiao Zhang made a phone call, but still no one answered.

Manager Xiao Zhang and Mark started walking in the direction the dozen people had come from.

Finally, in one area, they saw from a distance dozens of dogs tearing at tourists.

At this point, Manager Xiao Zhang had to face what he didn't want to confirm but couldn't avoid:

Old Dog was dead.

Old Dog was dead - as someone he had known for a long time, Manager Xiao Zhang's first words were: "Waste! With dozens of dogs, you couldn't even protect your own life?!"

Right now wasn't the time to think about this.

The dog pack was approaching.

Manager Xiao Zhang and Mark didn't want to confront them, so the two quickly escaped, finding a place to discuss their next steps.

Current situation: Old Dog was dead.

His dog pack had no one who could control it.

Therefore, they couldn't use his dog pack to search for lab rat number 6 Wannara.

So, the lab rat who had hidden in Macedonia Island from the beginning - they had absolutely no hope of finding her.

Unless she came out on her own.

Manager Xiao Zhang didn't remove that ugly mask.

Under the mask, his entire face was covered in dense sweat.

Even though it was only the third day of the special live stream.

With seven days total, excluding today, there were still four full days remaining.

Yet, Manager Xiao Zhang seemed to already sense the outcome.

"Imperfect, completely imperfect."

Manager Xiao Zhang had participated in five special live streams, with all five resulting in all lab rats dying.

Therefore, for this sixth time, he was even more determined not to give up.
