The property manager gave Qiao He a few addresses. Seeing her pale face and the way she looked like she could faint at any moment, he couldn't help but advise, "Young lady, it's hot outside. Remember to go home early if you can't find anything important. Don't get too hot. You don't know how many people have been sent to the hospital for heatstroke today..."

Qiao He was about to leave when he heard this, so he paused and nodded, saying, "Yes, Uncle, remember to stock up on more food these days. With the weather being so abnormal, it's not a bad thing to stock up."

After leaving those words, Qiao He departed with a heavy heart.

When natural disasters strike, life and death are preordained, and one can only rely on one's own abilities.

When disaster strikes, it's good enough if you don't sweep snow in front of other people's houses.

Of course, the Qiao family is an exception!

Not only does Qiao He have to shovel snow in front of the Qiao family's door, but she also has to watch them suffer a fate worse than death!

That Qiao Yuan actually harmed her five kittens. Qiao He hurriedly went to the first garbage transfer station to find her kittens.

Qiao Yuan said the kittens died from the heat, but Qiao He didn't believe it. She wanted to see the cat alive or dead!

In her past life, Qiao He lost her pillar of support because her kittens went missing and died one after another. After being injured, she became depressed and eventually ended up like this.

She couldn't lose these furry babies again in her life. She, Qiao He, had no family, only these eight little ones.

It was already past 2 p.m. when we headed to the first garbage transfer station.

The sun, like a golden plate, hung brightly in the sky, radiating its scorching light like a madman.

Qiao He had just run over when her clothes were almost completely soaked.

The garbage at the garbage transfer station was piled up like a mountain, stretching as far as the eye could see.

It was too hot, and the workers sorting garbage were scattered in twos and threes, looking exhausted.

Qiao He wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead and remembered that she had fed the kittens before going to bed last night. Because she had many cats, Qiao He still had dozens of kilograms of cat food at home, enough for the kittens to eat for a while.

But she never expected that after she was reborn and woke up, Qiao Yuan would actually make a move against the baby!

If it weren't for her three cats keeping her company while she slept in the bedroom, the kittens would probably have all been killed.

Qiao He gritted her teeth, thinking about how to find the kids. The garbage dump was too big, and she didn't even know where the garbage truck was taking it.

After thinking for a moment, Qiao He called out to the workers, "Uncles and aunties, my five cats have been killed and thrown into the trash can. Can you help me find them?"

"A huge reward awaits those who find it! Ten thousand yuan!"

When the workers heard about the 10,000 yuan, their eyes lit up. But seeing the high temperature outside and the fact that they hadn't finished their work, few of them paid any attention to Qiao He.

Qiao He narrowed her dark almond-shaped eyes slightly and shouted loudly, "Three hundred yuan per person per hour to help find it! A reward of twenty thousand yuan for whoever finds it!"

The workers all turned to look, and a bearded middle-aged man walked over and asked, "Young lady, what are you looking for?"

Qiao He quickly took out her phone to show him photos of the five kittens: "These are the five. They must have been dumped here today. Whether they're dead or alive, we have to find them!"

Several workers gathered around, and upon seeing that there were five cats, one of them remarked, "In this sweltering heat, they were thrown into the trash can? They're probably long dead by now..."

Qiao He's heart skipped a beat. She lowered her voice and said, "Just keep looking. Here's my contact information. I'll ask people at other transit stations to help me find it. If you find it, please contact me immediately!"

After settling things in here, Qiao He hurriedly ran to the next garbage transfer station.

Then came the third, and the fourth!

After running to the last possible garbage station, Qiao He stood under the sun, his eyes almost unable to open.

I took out my phone and saw that it was already 46 degrees Celsius.

Even though her physical condition had improved three times over, she still felt uncomfortable in such high temperatures.

As a large amount of water was lost from her body, Qiao He subconsciously thought of going to the blood jade that Qiao Yuan had stockpiled.

She took out the Blood Jade, and with a slight thought, she was surprised to find that she couldn't get in!

Qiao He's obsidian-like eyes narrowed slightly. She dripped a drop of blood onto the blood jade, but still couldn't get in.

Could it be because the Blood Jade has already recognized a master?!

Qiao He felt a surge of anger. She looked closely at the blood jade and saw several lines of text floating in the air next to it.

Item Name: Qiao Yuan's Blood Jade

Item Description: The blood jade around Qiao Yuan's neck contains a 20x20x10 space and a large amount of necessities.

Item duration: Permanent

Note: This can be bypassed through the "retreat system".

Qiao He understood immediately; indeed, once bound to Qiao Yuan, one could no longer easily claim a master.

However, this note is interesting. After the "playing dumb" system was bound to her, she never paid close attention to it.

Currently searching for kittens, Qiao He mentally commanded: [The Laziness System? Come out!]

The "Slacking Off System": [Beep—Is there something you need?]

"How do I break the Blood Jade's curse? And could you help me find the kitten?" Qiao He asked, frowning.

The "Playing it Off System": [Do you think I'm some kind of all-rounder or Doraemon's pocket? Random rewards like hacking are up to you, little kitty.]

The "Slacking Off System": [Beep—Hibernating. Do not disturb unless necessary. If you need to, burn some paper money!]

Qiao He was so angry she gritted her teeth. Other people's systems were either cute or obedient, so why was hers all over the place?!

As expected of a dormant system...

Qiao He decided to put away the blood jade for now; finding the kitten was the most important thing.

Time passed by, and Qiao He continued searching for the kittens at the garbage dump, but the place was just too big and there was just too much garbage.
