Everyone present could see that the Chinese who walked into the iron cage empty-handed were bound to die.

None of the Chinese who could easily kill a hungry dog with their bare hands could do it, and no one would think that the Chinese, who could not even complete basic training, could do this.

There is no doubt that after today, there will be only seventeen people in Nowvis.

While Rezenov was hiding his killing intent, Petrov's face was as usual.

He hates that others break the rules, and Xia Jie is naturally no exception, even if Xia Jie has agreed to do some 'brainwashing experiments' with him.

"Hehehe...... (Heavy snoring with a sense of threat)"

The dog cage covered with black cloth has been opened, and although Xia Jie has made it clear that he is about to die, he still decides to 'struggle in vain' out of survival instinct.

After all, for troublesome humans, even if they die, they have to kick their legs twice.

Using what he learned in Sistemma's martial arts class, Xia Jie put himself into a state of brain relaxation in a matter of seconds.

The brain, churned into a pulp by the tide of fear, finally began to work.

Observing the surrounding environment, Xia Jie quickly sorted out the current situation.

'I don't know any fighting skills, I don't have any weapons to use in a fully enclosed cage, and I don't have any experience fighting animals, so it is clear that subduing a hungry dog by force like everyone else will not work.

What can I do with a dog that has been hungry for a few days? Even if I cut off my own arm and feed it to the dog, I don't have any tools to use, and even if I do, I will never survive if the hungry dog takes me as a food target, so I must not let the dog have the idea of preying on me.

Wait, hungry dogs are dogs, can I try to build a harmonious relationship of trust with small animals as I did in the past? ’

Since there was no better way to deal with the current situation, Xia Jie bent down slightly, stretched out his free hands in front of him, and made a gesture of spreading his hands.

It was neither too low-profile, nor as high and threatening as it was at the beginning.

He could only bet that the dog wasn't really hungry and didn't eat anything for a few days.

Thanks to his mother's teaching, unlike some classmates who like to abuse cats and dogs and impose their happiness on animals, Xia Jie always likes to deal with stray cats and dogs.

Except for a small number of small animals that are extremely wary of injuries, most of the small animals are willing to have close contact with Xia Jie, because when Xia Jie arrives, it always means that he can have a small full meal, of course, a comfortable tickle must be indispensable.

"Wang! Woof! ”

There was a low roar from the iron cage, and a dark yellow coat and a huge 'small animal' slowly walked out of the iron cage with its teeth, and after a quick glance, it quickly locked on Xia Jie who was standing opposite, but before he could let out a threatening roar, the strange human clapped his hands lightly and made a strange sound of 'tsk' first.

"Dog, tsk, tsk, tsk~"

Looking at the strange scene that he had never seen before, the wolfdog's ears suddenly pricked up, and he was stunned in place, forgetting what he wanted to do.

What's going on with this biped in front of you? Seems a little different from the bipeds I've seen before?

Exuding his harmless and gentle kindness with a soft aura, Xia Jie carefully bent down to observe the wolfdog that stood up as high as his waist.

'Out of the cage calmly, without seeing each other and jumping up and biting me, it means that I am not very hungry.

The body tensed slightly, but the tail shook slightly, and the ears did not fall back, maybe it would work. ’

The initial gesture played a key role, and Xia Jie carefully lowered his body a little bit again, and took a small half step forward.

"Tut-tut~Come here~I'll scratch you~"

“？”

Seeing Xia Jie take half a step forward, the wolf dog couldn't help but take half a step back vigilantly, tilting his head in confusion.

It really didn't know what was going on in front of it, but it didn't seem that the bipedal beast in front of it had no intention of harming itself, so it simply observed the situation in the same place first.

The expected scene of the beast slaughtering the weak coward did not appear, and the bloodthirsty desire in the heart was not satisfied in the senses.

Many prisoners outside the cage looked at the one person and one dog in the iron cage with a constipated look, and they felt indescribably awkward and uncomfortable.

What about the man-eating hungry dog? Is it possible to force the time like Rezenov just now?

Designer, look at the knife girl...... No, Petrov, look at him!

At the same time, he looked up at Petrov on the high platform, only to find that Petrov did not raise his horn, but had an unusually faint smile on his face.

'It's a long life! The devil smiles! ’

Although he didn't say that, at this moment, the thoughts in the hearts of the horrified people coincided.

On the other side, Xia Jie, who was beating the drum in his heart, had to try to further open up the situation in order to avoid the 'death order' falling from the sky due to the long-term stalemate.

"Don't be afraid, dog, I didn't mean to hurt you, can I touch you?"

After the vigilant wolf dog's body relaxed, Xia Jie also squatted down and slowly approached the wolf dog in a squatting posture.

"Whew!"

Although his mouth was still full of threat, the wolf dog did not retreat again, but tacitly acquiesced to the 'suspected kind' in the same posture as himself approaching him.

Seeing the wolf dog's body tense up again and his eyes began to roll white, Xia Jie knew that he had reached the limit of what his current trust level could reach.

Exhaling lightly, Xia Jie managed to stop less than five meters away from the wolfdog, which made the wolfdog's tense body relax again.

When he already had a considerable degree of trust, Xia Jie understood that this time was the most important time to be in a hurry, otherwise he would lose his efforts.

When he was alive before, in order to appease a female stray cat who barked every night, he tried to stalemate with the stray cat under the lamppost for more than two hours, but when he was about to get started, because of the excessive range of movements, he directly scared away the extremely wary stray cat, which made Xia Jie sad all night.

So, he won't allow himself to make the same mistake again.

Good patience is not the only condition for building a relationship with animals, but it is a crucial factor.

Although there was only a short distance of five meters, Xia Jie understood that he was simply a 'talking' liar without food in his hand, and it was no less difficult to establish a relationship of trust with a wolfdog who had eaten people simply through body language, which was no less difficult than asking Petrov to bend down and invite himself out of the iron cage now.

The relationship between humans and canines has lasted for tens of thousands of years, from wolves roaming near their habitats to dogs that obey humans, and the simple two characters of 'domestication' are now in all aspects, using physical means to eliminate violators, establishing a suitable reward and punishment system in the long process of communication, and amplifying the unique servility of dogs to transform them into loyalty to humans.

Just as his shepherd dogs will fight wolves in order to obey the command of humans to protect their flocks, these dogs that have completely separated from the wolves can fight with their own people without hesitation under the command of humans, as if forgetting that wolves are actually their real compatriots.

For the tamed dogs, the instructions given by the human as the master always take precedence over the preservation of their own survival instincts, and the master's command is the first rule of conduct, in Petrov's view, whether it is a human or an animal, only this degree of taming can be called loyalty, if the Soviet Union can truly gain the loyalty of the people, then the Soviet Union can be regarded as a truly great country.

As a senior officer of the secret unit of the former People's Commissariat for State Security, and now a senior secret political worker of the Political Work Bureau of the NKVD (hereinafter referred to as the Ministry of Internal Affairs), Petrov appeared in Novis as a training officer because Ivanov had reached some kind of deal with Petrov's superiors, and on the other hand, he strengthened his brainwashing ability by acting as a training officer.

Although he is full of skill points in assassination, counter-attack, and sabotage behind enemy lines, Petrov's grades have always been unsatisfactory in the course of brainwashing and hypnosis, which is why he suddenly changed his attitude after discovering that Xia Jie could easily hypnotize himself.

'Chartier, this is the experiment you promised me to do, and now let me see what you are capable of. ’

didn't know that he had become the object of observation and learning at this time, Xia Jie only knew that the remaining five meters of distance could not be relied on by himself, and he had to find a way to make the wolf dog in front of him become active.

Whether it's making friends or taming dogs, the improvement of relationships is never a one-person thing, but the result of a joint effort between the two.

There is no profound scientific theory to support his behavior, and all Xia Jie can rely on is the purest kindness, the most basic human-dog interactive feedback and a little patience.

Observe all the behavioral signs of the wolf dog when doing any movement, positive feedback includes good-natured tail wagging, tongue sticking out, squatting and relaxing, and negative feedback is making a low hehe sound, fur standing upside down, rolling eyes and body tension and lowering the center of gravity.

Once there is negative feedback, Xia Jie will not hesitate to give up the current communication behavior and return to the previous step.

Constantly tempting to adjust his tone and movements, Xia Jie, who made the prisoners completely dwell, confirmed the most non-threatening action behavior of the wolf dog in front of him - the dog crawling.

Whether it is bending over or squatting and walking, these so-called low-threat postures can not make the wolfdog let go of its vigilance, only the dog crawling posture with both hands will make the wolfdog completely become a 'curious baby', the body is no longer nervous, but the two dog's eyes widened, a curious look of "what are you I want to sniff and lick".

As the wolfdog began to move his butt carefully sniffing and approaching the unknown creature, the prisoners outside the cage had just come back to their senses, and their voices were lowered to exchange their thoughts with each other.

"This idiot is crazy, isn't he? Such a posture can be easily culled by wolfdogs, how can anyone walk like this? ”

"Don't worry, I always feel that there is something different about this Chinese worker, he seems to be trying to communicate with that dog."

"How is it possible for humans to communicate with such stupid beasts? What's more, these wolf dogs are all man-eating beasts in a state of hunger, not ordinary dogs raised by ordinary people, I dare say, when the dogs pass, they will definitely bite him to death......"

The sound of chatter reached the cochlea, and Rezenov, who had been in the corner with his eyes closed and his back to the iron cage, opened his eyes sharply, and looked back to see that the worst that had been expected had not materialized, and until now, the Chartier had not become food for hungry dogs, but had attracted hungry dogs in a strange manner.

"Chartier, you must survive......"

The distance of five meters is a long time for Xia Jie, but it is a short time for a wolf dog.

In the process of getting closer, Xia Jie always maintained the posture of a dog crawling, and his mouth kept making a more sensitive 'tsk' sound from his mouth.

Four, three, two......

When the distance was reduced to a meter, the wolfdog stopped, tilted his head and sat down.

Knowing that the development of things had reached the most critical moment, the calm Xia Jie did not hesitate to slowly stretch out his right hand to the wolf dog's chin.

"Uh-huh-lu...... Uh-huh-lulu-lulu......"

Seeing that things had changed, the wolf dog, which was vigilant again, suddenly let out a low threatening sound, and the corners of the dog's mouth opened slightly, revealing sharp teeth, as if it would bite it in the next second.

Xia Jie could easily smell the fishy smell coming from the dog's mouth.

Outside the cage, Rezenov held his breath and clenched his weapon with both hands.

Petrov on the high platform stared intently at the man and dog who were about to come into contact, and his face was a little strange.

Although the guards and prisoners of the concentration camp had different expressions, they all paid their attention to the iron cage, and at this time, Xia Jie had achieved the 'attention' that had never been seen in the Novis concentration camp.

Without flinching, Xia Jie's right hand got closer and closer to the dog's mouth, and the dog's mouth became bigger and bigger, just when everyone thought that Xia Jie was failing, at a certain moment, the low threatening voice in the iron cage suddenly disappeared.

Xia Jie successfully carried his right hand on the wolfdog's chin and stroked it lightly along the fur of his chin.

"Purr...... Purr ......"

An unprecedented sensation of comfort hit the jaw, as if the soul was trembling, and the wolfdog trembled and raised its forelimbs, stretched its waist, and began to wag its tail.

"This guy, he actually succeeded......"

Novskov looked at the 'happy' man and dog in the iron cage with a look of disbelief, and his head was a mess.

"What the is it all about?"

Rezenov sat down on the ground with his legs weak, and when he reacted, he realized that he didn't know when, and he had already broken out in a cold sweat.

As soon as the hands were released, the two weapons fell to the ground with a heavy metal clashing sound.

"Chartier, I knew that you were different, you were different...... It's good to survive, it's good to survive......" (end of chapter)
