What It’s Like Being a Vampire

Chapter Thirty-Six Other Flavors

The elevator door slowly closed. Inside the elevator, Xiang Kun held the hand of the chubby girl Liu Shiling, and stood with Shiling's mother on one side, while Miss Yang was on the other side holding her pet dog PINKIE.

It's just that at this time, the husky has completely lost its previous excited appearance. The whole dog huddled into a ball, clinging to the corner of the elevator, as if it wanted to retract itself into the elevator wall, and let Miss Yang pull and shout It doesn't work.

Huskies are often called "two ha" because they often have convulsions, commit second acts, and have poor obedience. They love to make trouble and tear down houses. Together with Alaska and Samoyed, they are called "Three Sleigh Idiots".

But in fact, whether it is a husky or the other two sled dogs, their IQs are not low. The sled dogs themselves are working dogs domesticated by Siberian herders. When pulling sleds in the wind and snow, their ability to distinguish directions is better than humans, so the head dogs often need to make decisions and choices by themselves.

Therefore, the low obedience of sled dogs is not because they do not understand the master's orders and intentions, but because they feel that they are smarter than their masters and like to make their own decisions, but the master has not established enough WeChat to overwhelm them. Or they just want to be mischievous on purpose to achieve their own goals.

The husky raised by Ms. Yang is obviously not well tamed. Let alone treating her as a master, I am afraid that even if she is regarded as a companion, her status is lower than it.

Xiang Kun knew that the husky didn't want to attack the chubby girl just now, but just wanted to play with her. But in that case, if you are thrown, not to mention easy to fall and get injured, the psychological shock alone is not light.

In the final analysis, it was Miss Yang's fault that the dog was not trained well.

But Miss Yang couldn't control her pet, but Xiang Kun could.

Before, when he often "patroled the streets" at night, he would occasionally meet wild dogs and cats looking for food, or people who came out to walk their dogs in the middle of the night.

He discovered at that time that as long as he held his breath when the cats and dogs noticed him, tensed his muscles slightly, showing a fierce breath, they would immediately flinch and run away or even lie on the ground, even if he didn't move at all None did.

I once met a Labrador whose owner let go of the leash and ran over to sniff him, but he took a look at it and lay down on the ground without daring to move. And when they met again the next day, even if he was led by his master, when he saw Xiang Kun, he immediately got down on the ground, lowered his eyebrows, and dared not move no matter how his master pulled him.

When he was at home, Xiang Kun also experimented with the meat rabbit he bought, and the rabbit shivered and shrank into a ball in the same way.

But it didn't seem to work for birds. The pigeons in the square and the sparrows on the wall completely ignored his "threat".

Xiang Kun guessed that this should be because cats, dogs and other animals have relatively sensitive sensory abilities. Through the pheromones emitted from his body, they sensed a strong danger, so they behaved like this.

Anyway, now, he can be sure that in the future, the husky raised by Miss Yang will immediately detour when they see him or the little chubby girl.

The little chubby girl took Xiang Kun's hand, and curiously stuck her head out from his thigh, looking at the husky "facing the wall" in the corner of the elevator, the shock and fear in her eyes gradually dissipated.

"If you're not afraid of it, it will be afraid of you." Xiang Kun said while patting the little fat girl's head.

Shiling's mother next to her looked at Xiang Kun, and then at the husky who suddenly fell away in the corner. She was a little puzzled. She could see clearly from the side. "Yes?

The elevator quickly arrived at the first floor, and until Xiang Kun led the little fat girl and Shi Ling's mother out of the electronic door of the building, Miss Yang still couldn't pull her pet dog out of the elevator.

...

After leaving the community and saying goodbye to the little fat girl and her mother, Xiang Kun first walked quickly, and then started running after walking for 10 minutes.

He ran so fast that he attracted the attention of many passers-by. Seeing him carrying a bag, he thought it was an office worker who was in a hurry, but they were not surprised.

Of course, they didn't know that Xiang Kun would run more than 20 kilometers in this run.

Xiang Kun didn't run at his own speed limit, but at a moderate speed, which gave him the ability to observe and think at the same time.

He once roughly measured the speed of 100 meters by himself, which was about 11 seconds.

For ordinary people, this must be an astonishing achievement, at least at the level of a national second-level athlete, but compared to Xiang Kun, since it is far from surpassing the limit of the human body, it can only be said to be average. .

But if it's more about long-distance running, Xiang Kun feels that he should be able to easily break several world records.

After all, his recovery ability is too fast. He can run for a long time at a speed close to the extreme speed. After reaching the limit, he can jog for a while and then continue in full state. If it is used in a marathon, it can almost be said to be a hang-up.

When Xiang Kun was running, he was also observing his surroundings, recording the surrounding streets, shops or other landmarks on the roadside, and compared it with the online map he had seen last night, and established a map in his mind. 3D infographic of the area.

This is not only because he will live nearby in the future, he needs to understand the environment of this area, but also train his observation and memory at the same time.

It took Xiang Kun more than an hour to run to the gym. This speed is naturally much slower than using public transportation, but compared to running, it is a very strong result. What's more, Xiang Kun at this time basically didn't sweat much, let alone showed any signs of fatigue.

However, after spending the whole morning in the gym, Xiang Kun made a decision not to come to this gym anymore.

The young coach in the boxing gym downstairs, after knowing that Xiang Kun was coming to the gym, came over and asked Xiang Kun if he wanted to join their boxing gym, not as a student, but as a boxer. He revealed that one of the founders of the boxing gym, that is, the old coach who was the referee when he and Xiang Kun were fighting each other, was willing to teach Xiang Kun himself.

Xiang Kun thanked them for their favor, but still refused.

This incident made him realize that his performance in the gym during this period, coupled with his performance in the boxing gym and outing with Tang Baona a few days ago, has made many people notice his specialness, and they will naturally bet more on him. attention.

Although he knew that after the refusal, people in the boxing gym might not come to pester him again, but this kind of attention would still exist. It seems that he has never used extreme heavy weights for bench press, squat, deadlift and other training, but many coaches and members of the gym still pay attention to his training. The major achievements have been spread, and everyone will be curious about how he practiced.

Under such circumstances, his training in the gym will naturally become a little shy and worry a lot.

So although it was a pity that the membership card had just been issued and could not be transferred, Xiang Kun had to change places for training.

Fortunately, the training he is doing now doesn't rely on equipment very much, and he can also do it with bare hands.

So after leaving the gym, Xiang Kun spent the whole afternoon looking for a relatively secluded place within ten kilometers of the neighborhood where he could train and test.

The final location chosen was a hill more than four kilometers away from the community.

There is an abandoned construction site at the foot of the mountain. A villa area was supposed to be built here, but it was not built for some reason.

The residents who originally lived on the edge have all moved out, and the mountainside looks like a mess, almost no one comes, the weeds are overgrown, and it is even difficult to find the road.

When the sun sets and the sky darkens, the place is even more silent, with no light at all. Looking at several neighborhoods in the distance, it feels like peeping out from the shadows.

Xiang Kun was very satisfied with this place and decided to do various exercises here for the time being.

Although it wasn't very far from the residential area, the interference of smells, sounds, and various lights was much less, which was very suitable for Xiang Kun's sensory training.

Compared with the smell of cities and residential areas, the smell of this mountain is much simpler, but to Xiang Kun, it is relatively unfamiliar.

He smelled a rotten and bloody smell, not far from him, according to his identification, it should be the corpse of a mouse?

He followed the smell, turned on the light of his mobile phone, and saw that there was indeed a mouse that had been disembowelled and died tragically in the haystack.

After confirming his judgment, Xiang Kun was about to leave, but he stopped suddenly, closed his eyes and took a deep breath, carefully distinguishing the pheromones in the air.

In addition to the smell of the mouse, there is another smell left by the animal that hunted the mouse?
