1334 Poisoned

"Shi Er", a famous poem by the famous patriotic poet Lu You of Nanning was widely known by all who attended middle school in China. Zhang Zian has certainly learned it as well.

This poem was the perfect way for Lu You to die. It was believed to be a will intended to be read by his descendants. If the motherland was unified in the future, he must tell him this good news when they worship him.

But was this poem appropriate in this situation? After all, this elf didn't look like it was going to die... However, if the female dogs that just gave birth to their puppies ate those poisonous sausages, they could indeed die. Their deaths could also cause the subsequent deaths of the puppies altogether.

"Don't eat the sausages!"

Zhang Zian said through the speaker of the drone.

"Who is it?"

The white dog also saw the drone and screamed.

"Don't worry about who I am. If you don't want your dogs to be poisoned, don't let them eat those sausages! The sausages are poisoned," Zhang Zian said.

The white dog squinted and turned back to look at the female dogs. They have not yet regained their strength. It was just the right time for them to get some nutrition. They coveted after the taste of the sausages. Had they not been feeding their puppies, they might have already eaten them.

Zhang Zian saw the white dog hesitating and said, "Trust me, I mean it! I saw it with my own eyes. Didn't they steal those sausages from a food processing plant? Also, this wasn't the first time they stole from there. The people had already been prepared for it; they deliberately let you steal poisonous sausages so that your group would be poisoned.

A female dog had already been fed milk, stood up and couldn't wait to take a bite in the sausage. Her sharp teeth immediately broke through the sausage's soft casing.

Wolf!

The white dog barked and rushed over to snatch the sausage away. The female dog was so alarmed that she immediately ran off to hide.

The other dogs didn't know what was going on, but they were afraid of the white dog's authority and didn't dare to fight against it.

The white dog didn't eat the sausages himself, but spit it out on the ground. He then bowed his head and sniffed. Although this strange machine in the air seemed to have witnessed everything, he was nevertheless suspicious of its words. After all, it couldn't smell anything off from the sausage and merely snatched the sausage away as an act of caution.

"You can't smell anything," Zhang Zian said. "If I remember correctly, it should be a kind of chemical called isoniazid which is colorless and tasteless. However, it is highly toxic to dogs. Ordinary people will find it difficult to get their hands on these chemicals. However, it is a food processing plant so they must have the channels for buying these chemical products."

The white dog stayed quiet as the hungry female dogs stared at the sausages he stepped on.

"How can you prove that your words are true?" It looked up at the drone.

Zhang Zian hadn't had time to speak when Vladimir couldn't help himself and interjected. He said, "To meow with you! If you don't believe us, then go ahead and eat the sausages! It'll save us both the trouble!"

The white dog's eyes widened. "Rubbish! And what the hell are you?!"

"I'm here to take your dog life!" Vladimir called.

"Wait! Wait!"

Zhang Zian quickly stopped their meaningless verbal quarrel and said: "If you want proof, you can tear the sausages apart. Maybe you can find white pills in them or other kinds of chemicals. However, the chances of there being small pills are very high; they aren't things you would commonly find in a sausage."

The white dog suspiciously shredded the sausage. No abnormalities were found in the first sausage. Neither were there any in the second. It was not until he tore open the third that a few small white pills rolled out of the sausage.

"This is isoniazid?"

At that moment, the white dog finally believed him.

"Yes, it should be," Zhang Zian saw the whole process through the drone's lens.

The white dog pulled at the few small pills with his claws. "What happens when you eat it?"

Zhang Zian thought a little and replied, "The toxicity is high and affects your body rapidly. When you eat it, your muscles will be paralyzed, your breathing will become difficult, you lose control of your bowels and finally die whilst foaming at your mouth. If the dosage is high, the whole process will take less than two hours."

"And..." He looked to the side at Vladimir. "Isoniazid is also toxic to cats."

Vladimir, who looked as if he thought it had nothing to do with him, was stunned when he heard this. "What?"

Zhang Zian nodded. He did not hear wrongly either.

The white dog said no more and shredded all the remaining sausages. Afterward, he then threw a few bunches of sausages that were not mixed with isoniazid to the female dogs that had puppies. Still reluctant to throw away the sausages with isoniazid in them, he carefully examined them for any further tablets and removed them. This was because even if he threw them away, the other dogs would come by and eat the sausages anyway.

At that moment, a riot suddenly occurred in a certain direction of the landfill. Several dogs of various colors ran over and barked crazily at the white dog.

"What? Hurry and take me there to see!"

The white dog said anxiously and followed that group of dogs. He ran in the direction they came from.

Zhang Zian didn't know what was going on either. Nevertheless, he was curious and manipulated the drone to follow them.

The white dog ran to the northeast of the landfill, where several dogs lay on the ground, twitching, rolling, and wailing.

"What is going on?" shouted the white dog.

The other dogs that were fine barked senselessly at the sight.

"What? Did they become like this after eating the sausages that were found in the garbage?" The white dog was shocked and angry.

It looked up at the drone and stopped talking.

Zhang Zian has observed the symptoms of the dogs through the drone and said with a sigh, "It seems that they have been poisoned by isoniazid."

"Then... will they die?" asked the white dog.

Vladimir was concerned about this problem as well since isoniazid was also toxic to cats. If stray dogs could be poisoned by eating sausages, so would any stray cats that eat them.

Zhang Zian thought for a moment. "If the symptoms are just starting to act out, there is a chance to save them... We are next to the sea. Drag these sick dogs to the beach and fill their stomachs with seawater. Make them vomit out everything. Make them spit out as much of the isoniazid as possible. Try to clean out their stomachs to avoid further poisoning."

The white dog had no other choice. He had no ideas of his own either. To at least give these dogs a chance to live, he needed to take drastic measures. He would try out Zhang Zian's suggestion.

As soon as it was ordered, the other dogs dragged the poisoned dogs to the beach.

The drone continued to follow them.

Being rather savage in their actions, the stray dogs dragged the poisoned dogs to the sea and held them down as they tried hard to struggle. The waves filled their stomachs with seawater.

The various salts in the sea greatly irritated the dogs' stomachs. In a short while, the poisoned dogs' stomachs swelled and it caused them all to begin vomiting.

"And then? What should I do now?" The white dog rushed to the drone and howled.

Zhang Zian said. "Go to the west of the landfill. There is a Wuling Hong Guang MPV. I will be here waiting for you. Come alone. I have medicine that might save their lives."
