What cooperation between cats and dogs? Zhang Zian was just joking. In this battle against caterpillars, humans were the dominant force. This was an indisputable fact.
In the face of the poisonous caterpillars, both cats and dogs were a little afraid, not to mention that the number of caterpillars was almost incalculable.
After the discussion, Little White, Zhang Zian, and Vladimir walked out of the woods. The stray dogs and stray cats were a little worried. Seeing that their leaders were safe and sound, they were relieved.
Little White and Vladimir walked to the front of the stray dogs and stray cats, respectively, and announced a temporary truce agreement to them. It immediately caused a lot of noise and commotion.
People who had always been regarded as mortal enemies suddenly became allies. This drastic change was difficult for people to accept at once. The same was true for cats and dogs. They were affected by the atmosphere around them and saw each other as a thorn in their sides. Suddenly, they were told to shake hands and make peace, even if it was only for a short period of time. This made their relatively simple minds even more inadequate.
Little White and Vladimir did ideological work for the stray dogs and stray cats respectively. The former relied more on personal authority to suppress all opposition and doubts. Whoever dared to cause trouble would be attacked with an iron head. The latter, on the other hand, encouraged everyone to voice out their confusion and then patiently explained it to them.
Zhang Zian couldn't help in this regard. He found the nearest canteen on the map and drove over to buy 20 boxes of mineral water. The top priority was to solve the problem of their drinking water first. Before this, they were rummaging in the garbage dump to find leftover drinks from humans to quench their thirst. Whether it was Coke, Fanta, or Sprite, as long as they could drink it.
By the time he drove back with the water, Little White and Vladimir had already finished their mental preparation. The two phalanxes of cats and dogs were no longer as hostile as before, but they did not become intimate all of a sudden. Instead, they lay down in their original positions to rest.
He poured the bottled mineral water into the food bowl and let the stray dogs take turns drinking it. They became lazy after eating and drinking, and their hostility disappeared a lot.
However, he couldn't just rely on buying mineral water out of his own pocket every day to solve the problem. Firstly, it would cost a lot of money, and secondly, it would take up a lot of time.
While the stray dogs were drinking water, he walked into the woods again, checked the direction of the ditch, and came up with a temporary solution. There were a lot of fish in his aquarium, and fish farming required pumps to circulate the water. There were many high-power pumps with a power of more than 100 watts. He took two and modified them with a filter screen and filter cotton at both ends. Then, he chose an area in the ditch where there were fewer caterpillars to pump the water up and let the stray dogs line up to drink.
Of course, he would also need to buy a small generator. A few hundred watts of power would be enough. It would burn gasoline or liquefied gas. It was not expensive, only a few hundred yuan. It would be used to provide a 220V power supply. Otherwise, the water pump would not be able to work.
The generator had to be covered with a canopy to prevent water from shorting out.
Although it was not a permanent solution, they could just add gasoline or change liquefied gas cylinders when transporting food. There was no need to buy water or transport water.
If no one guarded the pump and generator, it would be stolen in a few days. Fortunately, the stray dogs could be responsible for this matter. It was originally related to their lives.
Zhang Zian went to look at the various small pieces of junk that the stray dogs had picked up, such as a pen with a missing cap, broken headphones, broken small speakers, empty glasses cases, vibrators of unknown use, and so on … Anyway, there was nothing valuable.
The stray dogs did not know what was valuable. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack. The probability of them accidentally bringing back something valuable was very low. It was not their fault. Even if a person walked into the garbage mountain, it would not be so easy to find something slightly valuable. Otherwise, why would they still work? Everyone would go pick up the garbage.
He told Little White about the water pump and generator. He planned to find time to install it tomorrow. If he did not have time to come over, he would send the shop assistants over. He asked it to recognize the friendly symbol of the Wuling Hong Guang MPV and restrain the stray dogs so that they would not scare people away.
As for the empty bottles on the ground, he would have to wait until tomorrow, when he or the shop assistants were present. He would have the people from the waste collection station drive over to pick them up, count them in person, and pay for them in person.
The matter here was temporarily over. He said goodbye to Little White and sat in the Wuling Hong Guang MPV with Vladimir. He also asked the latter to disperse the stray cats.
He could see that Little White relied on his personal authority to suppress the stray dogs. It could not easily leave the dog group. Otherwise, the dog group would fall into chaos again. It could also run around and hurt people, so he could not take it away for the time being. He could only wait for the situation of the stray dogs to stabilize.
And … if he let Vladimir and Little White coexist under the same roof, wouldn't it mean that the fire of war would spread to the pet shop?
Back at the pet shop, he asked the staff to clean up the spare water pump and went to the outdoor equipment store to buy a small generator.
In the afternoon, he left the shop after taking a nap and walked to Zhonghua Road Primary School.
On the way, he observed carefully and found that there were all kinds of caterpillars crawling on the trees on both sides of the road, but there were not many of them. The pedestrians who hurried past did not notice them at all.
When he arrived at the school gate, he explained his intentions to the guards. After being notified in advance, the guards verified his identity and let him in.
He found the teacher's office, and the teachers who were preparing for the lesson received him. When they heard that he had come to help the school eliminate the caterpillars, they were very happy. They talked about the impact of the caterpillars on daily teaching and life. Nowadays, many children did not dare to leave the classroom during the break, especially the girls.
Most of the primary school teachers were also women. When they saw the caterpillars, they were disgusted and afraid. They had long wanted to eliminate the caterpillars in the school, but no one took the lead. The school leaders were slow. They said all day that they would have a meeting to discuss the plan, but they did not take action. It was not easy to find someone willing to help.
The teachers were more open-minded. Unlike the director of the street office, who gave up eating for fear of choking, they quickly agreed to his plan to eliminate the caterpillars.
His plan was very simple. He rented or bought a batch of pesticide sprayers and injected them with diluted cypermethrin. On weekends or after school on weekdays, a few people would wear protective clothing and spray them in the school where there were the most caterpillars. This way, it would not affect the students who came to school the next day.
The teachers said that they could buy what was needed. Zhang Zian did not have to pay, but they must ask him to do it. If they personally came into close contact with so many caterpillars, they would definitely be so disgusted that they would not be able to eat or sleep.
After the discussion, Zhang Zian got up and left.
As soon as he walked out of the classroom office, he heard the bell ring.
Little Celery pulled Wang Yaning out of a classroom. It seemed that they were going to the back of the teaching building. Another figure quietly followed them. It was Xu Zhuang Zhuang.
