Chapter 76 "Being Bullied"

Under the lawyer's questioning, the situation of the person and the cat was roughly understood.

The young man's name was Cui Xiuyuan. He had a heart condition and had been in poor health since childhood. On the day of the calamity, he collapsed at home due to a sudden illness. When he woke up, he discovered that he had developed supernatural abilities, and his family's black cat had also mutated.

At first, he was scared, but because he had a very good relationship with the black cat and couldn't bring himself to harm it, he locked it in another room. After half a month, he discovered that the black cat seemed different from the other strange creatures outside; it not only didn't attack him, but also actively protected him.

Over time, they lowered their guard against it and let it out of the house.

He originally planned to take the black cat with him and a group of people to the base, but every team they encountered refused to take them with them after seeing that he had a mutant with him. Some even started fighting, and they almost lost their lives several times because of these incidents.

Cui Xiuyuan was not originally from Tianchi Town; this was his mother's hometown. He came here to recuperate before the apocalypse.

He also drove to the base with the black cat, but because of the black cat's special nature, he was afraid that the people at the base would capture him and use him as an experimental subject, so he turned back to Tianchi Town after arriving at the base gate.

Lu Zhi felt that his concerns were indeed valid. The only consequence for the mutants brought to the base was that they would become experimental subjects.

He asked curiously, "So you plan to live here for the rest of your lives? That's impossible."

Cui Xiuyuan sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do about it."

He has been living like this for almost a year now. Although he has gotten used to it, he still longs for places where there are humans.

He glanced at the black cat with some hesitation. He had considered leaving it in Tianchi Town while he went to the human base and came back to see it every now and then, but he quickly abandoned that idea.

"Heh." Lu Zhi understood Cui Xiuyuan's expression and chuckled. Not everyone was like him and his entourage.

"And how did you get here?" Cui Xiuyuan asked. "Xiao Hei said that there are superhumans in Tianchi Town. Aren't you afraid of being discovered?"

"Why should I be afraid?" The vine curled its leaves to release him and the black cat, and said lazily, "I have people at the base."

"Huh?" Cui Xiuyuan was stunned when he heard this.

But the next second, as if he saw a glimmer of hope, his eyes lit up, and he asked urgently, "Can I...can I see him?"

Lu Zhi thought this person was a bit foolish, not only believing his words so easily, but also wanting to meet the people at the base.

Cui Xiuyuan realized what was happening and scratched his cheek somewhat embarrassedly, saying, "It's been a long time since I've seen a human."

Lu Zhi narrowed his eyes slightly, finding this statement unbelievable.

Just from eavesdropping on their conversation, it's clear that more than one group of superhumans has come to Tianchi Town, and they've basically all been driven out.

But whether they were driven out or killed, nobody knew.

If Cui Xiuyuan wanted to see someone, it would be a very simple matter.

But now they say they haven't seen each other for a long time, isn't that a contradiction?

Lu Zhi carefully observed Cui Xiuyuan's face and eyes through the vines; it seemed that the man was plotting something.

He sneered inwardly, then calmly said to Cui Xiuyuan, "Are you planning to abandon Black Cat and go to the base?"

Upon hearing this, the black cat looked nervously at Cui Xiuyuan, as if afraid of being abandoned.

But upon closer inspection, one can see a hint of ruthlessness beneath its orange-yellow cat eyes. If Cui Xiuyuan really abandoned him and went to the base, it would kill him without hesitation and then eat him.

Lu Zhi chuckled softly, taking in the black cat's emotions.

A mutant is a mutant; he could completely understand what the black cat was thinking at that moment.

“No.” Cui Xiuyuan lowered his eyes and said firmly, “It has been with me all year, and I will not abandon it.”

The black cat's mood instantly brightened, its tail held high, and it wrapped itself around Cui Xiuyuan's waist, rubbing against him affectionately, and said in a cheerful voice, "I will never abandon you, I will definitely protect you well."

Law Enforcement: "..."

He was speechless. Anyone could see that Cui Xiuyuan was lying to him.

Oh wait, this black cat isn't human, so it's normal that you can't tell.

He suddenly felt that Cui Xiuyuan's attitude towards the black cat was like that of taming it.

Seeing the way the person and the cat interact, this feeling became even stronger.

"You just said you know some humans at the base, is that true?" Cui Xiuyuan's tone was tinged with resentment.

Ritsu gradually formed a plan and replied, "Yes, but why should I let him see you, or is there any need for it?"

"I want to bring the black cat into the base with me," Cui Xiuyuan said sternly, stating his intentions.

"You couldn't get in before, how can you be so sure you can get in now?" Lu Zhi asked with a sneer.

Cui Xiuyuan said, "I've seen people who can control alien species. I can use this method too. As long as I say that the black cat is an alien species that I control, maybe it will work."

His gaze toward the Law-Binding Vine grew increasingly crazed, and his tone became aggressive as he said, "As a mutant, you can so openly say that you know someone in the base. That person's status in the base must be extraordinary, right?"

"What does that have to do with you?" Lu Zhi guessed that he wanted to use this to threaten him, but would he be afraid?

His identity in this body can be investigated at the base, and the methods used to check aliens are useless against him. Even if someone runs out and shouts that "Law Enforcer" is an alien, even if someone believes it, it will not be confirmed unless he exposes himself.

"Little Black, make your move! It might not be a mutant!" Cui Xiuyuan's sudden words caught Lu Zhi off guard.

No? How come he's not a mutant?

Cui Xiuyuan added "thoughtfully": "I've seen so many alien species, you're too smart."

Lu Zhi: "..." Is it his fault that he loves learning?

This stupid human really angered him.

Lu Zhi then used vines to wrap the two of them up tightly, making them stay in the bedroom while he went to complain!

He embellished his own story, and said to his entourage in the most aggrieved voice, "Just because I'm smart, they actually doubted my identity!"

Sui Cheng pursed his lips tightly and remained silent; a closer look revealed that he was suppressing a laugh.

"I don't care, you have to avenge me!" Lu Zhi pulled him into his arms, pinched his face angrily, glanced at Chen Jiang and the others who were scattered not far away, and with a flick of his finger, deliberately released a little energy at the vine. The probe in Chen Jiang's hand reacted instantly.

"Team……"

“There’s an anomaly. I’ll go check it out with the law enforcement officer. You guys continue to examine the surrounding area.”

Before Chen Jiang could speak, his attendant interrupted him.

When I looked again, the two had already walked far away.

Suicheng also wanted to see what the person and cat who had made Lu Zhi so aggrieved looked like.
