Prologue, the urban management stands tall upon the earth

He wielded a steel pipe, mimicking the appearance of a Shaolin monk from a martial arts television drama, skillfully demonstrating a move and boasting with great pride. However, the fruit vendor looked him up and down, and his gaze was unexpectedly filled with disdain and... pity?

Ping pong! Crackle!

The violent life of a certain rookie urban management officer has now turned the bloody and chaotic first page.

The stout fruit vendor squinted his small eyes and brandished a gleaming watermelon knife, threateningly stating, "... I sell authentic Nanjing cemetery melons, which have been grafted with imported improved varieties. Fifty yuan is already a bargain. So, what will it be? Compensate or not?"

Originally, the unit intended to hire some temporary workers to assist with dog handling, but unfortunately, the budget could not be approved. Now it is already the 30th, and more than ten people in the entire management center are extremely busy, yet they are still short by approximately 30 dogs to meet the target

In the next moment, Lao Sun's two legs seemed to originate from Kenya, resembling the most agile antelope, as they raced towards the setting sun

Two wild dogs, panting and foaming at the mouth, are running wildly ahead, while two equally breathless city management officers in gray uniforms and wide-brimmed hats are closely following behind, each holding an electric baton and a pair of pliers. Although both the people and the dogs seem to have been running for quite some time, they appear utterly exhausted.

Then, in the next moment, the numerous vendors on the street, like soldiers hearing the charge call or students hearing the class bell, seemed to be invigorated, tossing their phones into their pockets and immediately sprinting away with the speed of a hundred-meter dash in track and field, pushing their carts with a loud "whoosh," causing the roadside to instantly descend into chaos

Recalling the glorious years of the past, the soon-to-retire Old Sun could not help but feel quite proud. He originally intended to boast about his "illustrious achievements" in battling a pack of dogs back in the day. However, just as he began to speak of this, he heard once again a faint barking sound coming from the alley where he had just lost track of the wild dog.

A total of more than a dozen stray dogs of various heights and sizes, including yellow dogs, black dogs, white dogs, mixed-breed dogs, Huskies, Chihuahuas, local dogs, and German Shepherds, are currently nimbly leaping over ditches, jumping up steps, and maneuvering around piles of garbage. In unison, they arch their bodies, growling lowly, displaying a fierce demeanor that seems to threaten anyone who dares to meet their gaze, charging towards Old Sun from the depths of the alley.

Fortunately, those BMWs that enjoy colliding with others seem to rarely roam around here, and the tragedy of "70 km/h" is even less likely to occur in this place—if anyone dares to drive at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour in such an area, it would no longer be racing, but rather a massacre combined with demolition

What are you still nagging about at this moment? Why aren't you running? Do you want to wait and be taken home again?

... ... Woof! ! !

At that very moment, with the image of the book, the air on the street seemed to drop rapidly to absolute zero! The originally bustling voices were suddenly frozen!

The dog did not bite, yet it scared the person away

However, before he could finish his words, he was struck on the head by the elderly city management officer wearing reading glasses

Everyone, come quickly! A fight is about to break out!

Bai Cai Street is a very ordinary small street located on the outskirts of the urban area, at the junction of the city and the suburbs

He swiftly turned around, handing the electric baton to the still bewildered Xiao Wang, and earnestly said, "... Xiao Wang, this time I must trouble you to hold the fort! Tomorrow, I will definitely treat you to hot pot! Now, I will retreat, and you cover for me!"

By the end of June, the weather had become exceptionally sultry. Although it was already past 5 PM, the scorching sun still beat down on the earth, causing the gravel on the road to shimmer as if reflecting a faint light. Under the blazing sun, the sweltering heat waves made it almost impossible to breathe. The two exhausted individuals simply plopped down on the edge of the cement flowerbed in the greenbelt, gasping for air while trying to avoid the still searing summer sunset.

Hearing that those two foolish dogs seemed to have returned, the old Sun, who was worried about not having any achievements, was suddenly overjoyed. He immediately grabbed the electric baton and stood up, saying, "... Xiao Wang, you sit tight! Just watch how powerful my self-created dog-beating technique is!"

Look closely, I am the embodiment of the Eight Honors and Eight Shames, with the Three Represents hanging at my waist, and the River Crab deity hidden in my heart, ensuring that with a single move, I can harmonize you away

... ... Cut it out! Shameless miser, since you have crushed my watermelon, you must obediently compensate me!

Immediately thereafter, the figures of two urban management officers and two dogs finally appeared at the entrance of Cabbage Street

... ... Gulu gulu. ... ... Hi! Is there any way? Recently, there have been several incidents of wild dogs attacking people, and in Dongshan Village, a little girl was actually bitten to death. Not to mention our city party secretary, who, while visiting elderly people living alone a few days ago, was unexpectedly bitten by a wild dog that suddenly appeared out of nowhere, making a complete fool of himself in front of the television cameras and a large group of reporters!

Xiao Wang, how are you speaking? Do you intend to tarnish the image of our urban management? This is truly nonsensical

The urban management officers are here, quickly pack up your things

Indeed, wherever there are people, there will inevitably be a community; and wherever there is a community, there will inevitably be conflicts. The more crowded the place, the more frequent the various conflicts. ... Naturally, Baicai Street is no exception ... . ... Under the dim yellow sunlight, yet another "enthusiastic" physical exchange is about to unfold.

... ... Wang ... ... Woof ... ... Wang !

The young city management officer bought two bottles of chilled mineral water from the newsstand by the roadside and handed one bottle to the senior wearing reading glasses, "... I tend to speak quite frankly, so please don't take offense. However, you are clearly someone who works in an office, and at your age, you are nearing retirement in just two months. Why do you have to come out with me under this blazing sun, patrolling the streets?"

What the heck! Those two rabid dogs that just attacked me actually brought a whole pack of dog friends to seek revenge!

Wow! There is no need for further discussion; let us see the true skills beneath our hands!

Next, an unprecedentedly brutal and bloody battle between humans and dogs erupted on the chaotic Baicai Street

Dear fellow villagers! Please remain calm, please remain calm! There is no need to be afraid, today we will only deal with the dogs and not the people

"Just last week I went through this hassle, and they confiscated my tricycle. Why are they coming to inspect again today?"

The thin and dark-skinned Sichuan laborer widened his eyes and shouted in a completely non-standard Mandarin, slamming his large hand, resembling a fan, heavily onto the counter, "... It is already almost July! Where can you find such precious watermelons? There is no such way to cheat people, is there!"

How dare you! You want me to pay fifty yuan just because I accidentally crushed one of your watermelons? I scoff at that!

... ... Pah! These damned gray-skinned ones have come again!

... ... That's right ... ... Hey, even though I have already hit them several times, this beast really runs fast!

... ... Damn! You want to kill someone!" Seeing the gleaming blade coming at him, the laborer nimbly jumped back, and then, with his hands on his hips, began to curse loudly, "... ... We from Sichuan 'Bang Bang' are not cowards. If you have the guts, come and fight me!"

It is the height of summer in June, and once again it is the peak time for leaving work. The streets are bustling with people coming and going, while vendors shout loudly in various dialects. Colorful sewage flows across the ground, and the air is filled with the aroma of various snacks. Meanwhile, the unfortunate drivers anxiously honk their horns

The young urban management officer seemed to have spotted someone familiar among the fleeing vendors, and he shouted at the top of his lungs:

It has only been a few years since I last personally went out to deal with the dogs, yet when did these wild dogs become so organized? Could it be that there is some sort of dog union?

Upon witnessing this situation, the two city management officers from the Urban Comprehensive Management Law Enforcement Team's Canine Management Center were momentarily taken aback, and could only manage a wry smile as they awkwardly halted their steps. Turning to look at the chaotic scene of Baicai Street, littered with debris yet devoid of any human presence, they found themselves at a loss for words.

However, in the next moment after standing up, the smile on Old Sun's face froze

Looking around, the unbearable heat permeates every molecule of the air, exuding the power of midsummer. The incessant chirping of cicadas is disturbing, causing restlessness among the people. Even the stray cats by the roadside are listlessly curled up in the grass, yawning—although the stray dogs are being chased by the city management, the stray cats are left undisturbed.

Old Sun took the mineral water bottle from Xiao Wang, unscrewed the cap, and drank more than half of it in one go. Then he sighed and began to explain the secrets behind it, "... In this way, the relevant leaders in our city are naturally paying close attention to the current issue of stray dogs becoming a disaster. At the end of last month, a decision was made to urgently carry out a special summer campaign for the control of stray dogs this month. They also set a strict target, insisting that at least 300 wild dogs must be captured. ! ... In this way, the relevant leaders in our city are naturally paying close attention to the current issue of stray dogs becoming a disaster. At the end of last month, a decision was made to urgently carry out a special summer campaign for the control of stray dogs this month. They also set a strict target, insisting that at least 300 wild dogs must be captured. ! ...

Due to its proximity to the newly established local institution of higher learning, Longkongshan University, as well as several migrant worker settlements from other regions, this area, although relatively distant from the city center, may have a population density that surpasses that of the city center, resembling the abundance of flies around a garbage heap

Alas, our Canine Management Center has only two pickup trucks, in addition to one electric vehicle. Currently, it is almost a full mobilization to catch dogs, and the public transport is insufficient, which is unavoidable. Using private vehicles is also not feasible as we cannot reimburse fuel expenses. As for the equipment being inadequate, these tools are already quite sufficient now

Although it is clear at a glance that the so-called "urban management raid" is a misunderstanding, most of the vendors have already fled quite far. Moreover, they were mostly preoccupied with escaping and did not think to look back to see what was happening. Thus, the two urban management officers from the Canine Management Center continued to disperse the once bustling Baicai Street as if they were Moses parting the Red Sea, leaving behind an empty street littered with fruit peels and discarded straw mats.

The young urban management intern took a few sips of mineral water and forced a smile as he replied. However, upon glancing at the rudimentary equipment in his hands, a wave of sadness washed over him. "... Master Sun, I heard that the urban management dog control teams in Zhengzhou and Shanghai are already equipped with armored suits and tranquilizer guns. But why do we only have two old-fashioned electric batons, a pair of iron pliers for restraining dogs, and this wire mesh net? Moreover, we don't even have a vehicle to ride in; we can only rely on our two legs to run!"

Oh no

The young city management officer, known as Xiao Wang, hurriedly apologized, but as soon as he turned around, he exclaimed, "... Oh no! Those two animals are getting away!"

The crowd, eager for chaos, immediately began to stir, forming a circle ten paces wide as the duel ground for the two individuals. Many others took out their phones to start recording, intending to capture this authentic scene of combat to later showcase it on their blogs and boast to their online friends

... ... Tsk tsk, what Qinglong and Baihu, these are things from outdated martial arts novels. Are you still not a Chinese person, you country bumpkin from Sichuan? Don't you know that one must keep up with the times?

Faced with such a surreal horror crisis, Lao Sun hesitated for merely one second before making an exceptionally decisive decision

The rows of sharp white teeth glistening with saliva, the pairs of blood-red eyes filled with brutality, and the filthy dog paws, all bathed in a faint red glow under the setting sun, seem as if they are about to quench their thirst with the blood of their enemies

Master Sun, you have truly worked hard today; please have a sip of water!

And when the unfortunate intern known as Xiao Wang finally turned around to see the danger he was facing, he could only let out an incredibly mournful wail before having to unleash 300% of his fighting power, engaging in a desperate struggle for his life

At this point, Old Sun let out a long sigh, "... sigh, all the leaders in the unit are in a panic! So now we have to mobilize everyone, and anyone who can run or move has been called to action, hoping to complete the dog-catching target by the end of the month... Even I, an old man in charge of archives, and you, a newly arrived intern, have been pulled into this... Xiao Wang, your internship at our unit really couldn't have come at a worse time!"

Old Sun's reading glasses suddenly glimmered, as if reproaching the younger generation for their discontent. "... back in the 1980s, when our urban management team was just established, that was truly the era of the beggar-beating squad! Each person was given a wooden stick and a large sack. Alas, don't look at me now as if I'm useless; back then, I could walk the streets alone at midnight, swinging my stick and hitting any dog I encountered, always hitting the mark, knocking the dog down, and then stuffing it into the sack to carry away. Sometimes, I could even skin it and stew it into a pot of dog meat hotpot for a midnight snack. ..."

Suddenly, through the usual high-pitched loudspeaker used for selling, a voice filled with terror abruptly rang out from not far away

Even the two street fighters who were originally poised for action lost their fighting spirit at this moment. The fruit vendor could no longer care about the crushed watermelon, tossing aside his knife and bricks before getting into his vehicle to leave. Meanwhile, the Sichuan laborer stuffed the water pipe into his bag and turned to disappear into the crowd.

Do not take that, the penalty money is much more expensive than this

Regardless of whether it is day or night, the streets are always dotted with numerous well-arranged stalls: those selling grilled lamb skewers, sugarcane, cold jelly drinks, mobile phone accessories, pirated books, and snacks... Countless vendors pushing small carts create a noisy scene, blocking the narrow sidewalks to the point of being impassable, and even spilling over onto the motor vehicle lanes, making it a veritable street of stalls in the city

In front of the crowd, the Sichuan laborer grumbled as he untied the large burlap sack from his back, pulling out a section of stainless steel water pipe that seemed to have been casually taken from a construction site. He then discarded his sweaty shirt on the ground, revealing a body of well-defined muscles intertwined with colorful tattoos. "... Look here, on my arm, I have the Azure Dragon on the left and the White Tiger on the right, an old bull at my waist, and a dragon's head on my chest. I can kill anyone who stands in my way, and even Buddha won't stop me! Taking down a useless person like you is a piece of cake!"

The wind is strong! Pull it! The urban management is coming!

Hehe, since esteemed seniors like you do not complain, how can we, the younger generation, fear hardship and fatigue

... ... Yes, Master Sun, it was I who spoke incorrectly

Originally, with the issuance of the official document from the city, it would have been reasonable to contact the police and the militia to conduct a summer campaign against stray dogs, as capturing a few hundred wild dogs would be a trivial matter. However, starting from the beginning of the month, our city has experienced several murder and robbery cases, and no suspects have been apprehended. Consequently, the police and the joint defense team must prioritize the search for the criminals, leaving us to find our own solutions for dealing with the stray dogs.

... ... Tsk tsk, they have all been confiscated, haven't they!

"... ... This is something I should have said to you." The fruit vendor snorted, bent down, and pulled out a brick from under the wheel of the electric tricycle, then casually picked up the knife used for cutting watermelons, "... ... Today, if I don't beat you to a pulp, it won't matter that you had a clean bowel movement last night!"

At the moment when the two of them were distracted, the two wild dogs that had been chasing them all the way had already darted into a winding alley. Then, they weaved between piles of garbage, broken bicycles, and air conditioning units, completely disappearing from sight, truly embodying the essence of guerrilla warfare

Hurry up, good dogs do not block the way! If you keep dawdling, I will crash into you!

"... ... Beast! Stop!"

Place your bets!

Oh! Could it be that those two beasts dare to return again? They are truly seeking their own demise

The entire street was suddenly filled with cries, roars, and shouts... In short, it was a cacophony of wailing and howling.

Thus, another earth-shattering and soul-stirring street battle is about to erupt on Cabbage Street

The fruit vendor, while speaking sarcastically, also unbuttoned his floral shirt, revealing a patch of dark chest hair, along with a red crab tattoo nestled within the chest hair, as well as two small inscriptions tattooed on his left and right arms.

Well, this is essentially equivalent to pulling the pin on a grenade, shoving it into the other person's hand, and then sincerely explaining: "... now is the time to make sacrifices, for the sake of justice and victory, I will retreat, and you will cover me!"

... ... Sichuan 'Bang Bang' one pays two! The fat man selling watermelons at Hongxing Farm pays three! Who will buy it?

The migrant worker, unable to argue with the other party, was so enraged that he felt his anger rising to the top of his head. He swung a water pipe, striking the asphalt road with a loud bang, "... ... Dare to lay hands on me? Hmph, I will beat you so badly that even your mother won't recognize you!"
