“Go a little higher.” Zhang Zian waved.

“How about this?” Wang Qian stood on the ladder and raised the surveillance camera higher.

“Almost there… Let’s fix it there.” Zhang Ziang looked to the left and right and felt satisfied.

Wang Qian fixed the camera in place with a screwdriver and pliers. He also installed a rain cover to shelter it from the wind and rain.

Li Kun, who was holding the ladder for him, reminded him, “Don’t fix it slanted!”

“Do you think that I’m you? You can’t even install the LED lights of a fish tank correctly! My eyes come with a level, so it will never be slanted!” Wang Qian kept his hands busy as he continued to boast, “All you need to do is hold the ladder stable.”

Whether verbally or mentally, Li Kun was not convinced. He retorted, “Yeah, right. Even your junk is slanted! You always splash out of the bowl in the toilet! And you have the guts to say I’m slanted? You’re just a slanted machine gun!”

“D*mn you! I’m not going to hold back after all this!” Wang Qian was not going to let himself be outdone. He immediately exposed Li Kun’s dark history.

The two of them continued bickering.

Zhang Zian raised his phone and walked around. His eyes fixed on the top of the phone’s screen where it showed the strength of the WiFi signal.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

More than twenty different puppies had a rope tied to them. They couldn’t wait to break free and play around.

Zhan Tian quietly stood in the corner, paying attention to its surroundings with its chest up. Even though it really wanted to run around and play, the long period of training it went through had trained it to control its emotions, unlike the puppies.

After some bickering, Li Kun was defeated and he could only change the subject. “Master, I have something I don’t understand and I would like to consult you!”

“Enough nonsense. Just ask what you want to ask!” Zhang Zian said.

“Cough! Okay then, I’ll ask now… Master, why are you installing a surveillance camera here, where even birds don’t come to lay eggs?” Li Kun let out a dry cough, and on his face was an unconcealable curiosity.

Wang Qian’s hands stopped for a moment. He perked up his ears, waiting for Zhang Zian’s reply.

They were in the green space behind the pet shop.

As long as it didn’t rain or snow, Wang Qian and Li Kun would bring the puppies in the shop out there every morning for a walk. It gave the puppies that were kept in the display cabinet all day a chance to enjoy the outdoors for a short time. The puppies also cherished the precious moments when they were let out. They usually didn’t bark, but every day at that time, they would be sitting in the display cabinet barking, reminding their owner that it was time to go out and play.

The green space was hidden in the depths of the old residential areas and it was usually deserted. Apart from the old residents that lived nearby, few people knew about it. It was also not shown on some navigation apps.

Right beside it was an old residential area that was waiting to be demolished. There had been talks long ago that it was going to be demolished soon, but it still had not yet been demolished. It was probably because of the high demolition costs, and the compensation was not high enough, so everything was put on hold.

It was also precisely because there were basically no other people there, that it had become Wang Qian and Li Kun’s first choice for walking the dogs. In the green space, they could take the leashes off of the puppies and let them play for about half an hour. It also gave them a chance to solve their bodily needs at the same time.

Since the arrival of spring, there was a sudden increase of stray cats in the green space. Wang Qian and Li Kun didn’t care at first, but ever since Liu Wenying’s Siamese cat was infected with rabies through a stray cat, they were a little more vigilant. They didn’t let the stray cats get close to the puppies because the puppies weren’t injected with a rabies vaccination yet. In fact, stray cats would usually not take the initiative to approach the puppies. When they were there to walk the dogs, the cats would retreat and hide at the grass and trees behind them.

Today, Wang Qian and Li Kun were going out to walk the dogs as usual when Zhang Zian picked up a courier box, grabbed a ladder, and came along with them.

In the courier box, there were several surveillance cameras and rain covers purchased from the Internet. Zhang Zian had the two of them install the cameras in several places in the green space. The principle of selecting the locations was to cover as much space as possible.

Fortunately, they could still connect to the WiFi in the pet shop, although they just barely got one bar of signal. The images captured by the cameras could be transmitted in real time.

To be reasonable, they were in a public space, and it was not owned by Zhang Zian. Aside from the city government, no one was actually qualified to privately install the cameras there… But wasn’t it a remote area beyond the control of the government? Anyway, no one was in charge.

Zhang Zian didn’t want to explain, so he said, “Just install the cameras as I told you. Why do you have so many questions?”

Li Kun stuck out his tongue and continued to assist Wang Qian.

Zhang Zian walked around the green space and saw many stray cats lurking around. They were all kinds of colors, had various body types, and there was even an adult female cats with a litter of kittens. Compared to the last time he was there, there more new faces.

The area seemed to have become a gathering place for the stray cats nearby.

With the increasing number of stray cats, he couldn’t help but worry—it was a deserted place, but that didn’t mean that no one was coming. If a cat abuser chanced upon the area, wouldn’t it be regarded as an ideal site to abuse cats? It might even attract the Holy Cat statue to appear there…

So, he bought surveillance cameras and planned to monitor the area. The existence of the camera itself would be a form of deterrence to the cat abusers.

It’s just that… the number of stray cats was increasing, and the cats gathering there were constantly mating and breeding, which seemed to be a problem, too.

Stray cats were the killers of the small animals in the city. Whether it was flying in the sky or running on the ground, it was difficult for them to survive once a stray cat had its eyes on them. Letting it go on would definitely affect the ecological balance in the long run.

“Master, we’re done with the installation. You can try it out now,” Wang Qian said while still on the ladder. He shook the rain cover and confirmed that it was sturdy; it wouldn’t fall off even under strong winds and hail.

Zhang Zian gestured for him to come down, then Zian connected to the camera to his phone. Although the images were not smooth due to network reasons and the screen occasionally froze, it still met the minimum monitoring requirements.

Wang Qian and Li Kun untied the leashes of the puppies and also untied Zhan Tian’s leash.

The puppies spread their small, short legs and excitedly ran around. All they had in minds was to play, and they would run a distance away the moment one took their eyes off of them. However, as long as any puppies ran too far, Zhan Tian would go forward, stop the puppies, and drive them back.

Like Famous, Zhan Tian was also a German Shepherd. It was engraved with the talent of a shepherd. After just a little training, it could easily take on the task of a “Shepherd Dog” and excel in it. It had done very well and had never let any puppies run away or get too close to the stray cat’s turf.

With Zhan Tian’s help, Wang Qian and Li Kun’s workload reduced tremendously. All they had to do was wait for the puppies to have enough fun, then put their leashes back on and lead them back. On the days that Zhan Tian was not with them, they would be exhausted and they wouldn’t dare to remove their leashes.

Zhang Zian took out another box. He opened the cover and called the two of them over.

In the box were grains of cat food.
