641 · Haining Cat Island (51)

The early morning on Haining Island begins with the opening of shops on every street.

On this ordinary morning, water from the pipes came from the sky and flew into ordinary people's homes, and many shop owners made sharp explosions one after another.

In the warm morning light, the water flowing out of each shop merged into a golden river. Accompanied by screams of collapse, Haining Island began a new day.

"This..." Li Ge was stunned across the screen, "Was this bitten by a cat?"

The whole street was about to be flooded. Could a cat really do this?

Those who know that the cat chewed through the water pipe may think that...

In the distance, an uninformed passerby’s terrified voice was heard: “Is there a tsunami?!”

Li Ge: ...

"Was this really a cat bite?" he said weakly.

"It really is," Guan Hongyan lied with her eyes open while exclaiming sincerely, "It is really a very powerful cat."

How can it not be amazing?

When the sleepy investors woke up in the morning, they saw such an explosive picture. After hearing what Guan Hongyan said, they couldn't help but say in the barrage:

[“It’s really a great cat”]

[The leader's words can indeed be said to be very powerful. ]

【Tentacle cats are so scary.】

[This is the most talkative evil god that the practitioners have seen in the past few decades. He does not need tributes, sacrifices, or even worship. He can survive by eating metal. 】

[Don't underestimate the bond between our Holy Son and the Master! ]

[Who do you think that is? That is the beauty that attracted a bunch of perverts to invest. ]

...Speaking of Shen Yan, Shen Yan himself was speechless facing the puddles on the streets.

He also didn't expect... Huai Jiamu would actually reach such a state.

At first, they just wanted Huai Jiamu to cause some minor damage, such as biting off the water pipe to make the ground in Maode Academy full of water. However, they didn't know whether he accidentally bit off the water pipe when biting it off. The current situation is obviously beyond everyone's expectations.

It also exceeds Li Ge's.

On the screen, Li Ge's expression seemed to be a mixture of three parts of disbelief, three parts of bewilderment, three parts of gnashing of teeth, and one part of fear, all clearly displayed on his face like a graph or table.

After a long silence, he lowered his voice and waved to Yun Guang who was holding the phone: "Yun Guang... Yun Guang? Let's keep our voices down and find a place where there is no one."

"Hmm?" Yun Guang held up his phone and walked to a deserted place, lowering his voice as well, "What's wrong?"

"Does anyone here know that the broken water pipe is because of me?" Brother Li was very cautious. He was clearly in his own home, but he tiptoed like a thief.

"No." Yun Guang shook his head.

Not to mention knowing that they did it, all the victimized shop owners probably don’t doubt that this was man-made... Of course it was definitely not man-made. To be precise, this should be the cat’s...

In short, everyone is now suspecting that it is a problem with the pipeline company. Some are contacting the pipeline company's emergency number, some are discussing the aging of the pipeline on Haining Island, and some are...

Busy turning off the water valve.

It's so full of life.

"Hey, you guys over there!" The enthusiastic shop owner waved at them, "Stop chatting there! Go back and turn off the water valve quickly. The water that flows out is all going through the water meter, and you'll have to pay a lot of money!"

"We..." Bai Jinshu pondered for a moment and gently pointed to his side.

The enthusiastic shop owner's eyes turned in the direction his finger was pointing.

The enthusiastic shop owner fell silent.

"You guys..." He looked at the shops that could be called ruins, hesitant to speak.

——There was even a small waterfall above the ruins.

He said sincerely: "You are so pitiful."

...He wouldn't have said that if he knew who was responsible for this disaster.

On the other end of the phone, Li Ge secretly made up his mind to keep this matter and the fact that he had once played the role of sterilization in the deepest part of his heart forever, and would not say a word about it no matter who asked.

"Uh... then, now," he watched the enthusiastic shop owner walk away, stuttering a few times, "what should we do now?"

"We don't know either," Guan Hongyan frowned worriedly and looked around, "Why don't you find a way to help, Brother Li? After all, you are the owner..."

This street is full of shops. The floors inside the shops, the goods in the warehouses, the furniture that is easily corroded and softened, the electrical appliances on the ground... the economic losses caused by these things after being soaked in water are immeasurable.

Although the Maode Academy is already... well, a ruin, it would be better for Brother Li to come back and take a look and count the losses.

"I really have to come over..." Brother Li hesitated for a while, "Then...then I'll find a chance to sneak away."

After hanging up the video, Guan Hongyan shrugged casually: "Okay, that's it."

The street is now flooded. The burst pipe seems to have caused a chain reaction. Not only their street, but also several nearby streets have gradually started to leak. As we all know, cats are afraid of water, and it is rare that there are no cats around, so everyone can talk and communicate.

When several nearby streets began to fall into chaos due to water leaks, the street that leaked first returned to order after a period of chaos. The shop owners hurriedly arranged the valuables and dangerous furniture in their stores, and came out of their rooms and stood on the street to communicate.

The owner of the shop next to Maode College is the enthusiastic owner. They stand here and can still hear the sounds coming from there.

"I just asked around and found out that the water pipes on this street were laid decades ago. They should have broken down after so many years..."

"…When the pipeline was built, this was the former No. 2 Textile Factory. After the factory closed, this place became an open street. The pipeline was modified later, so it is definitely not as good as the original one."

"The convenience store owner over there has already called the pipeline company, but it will take some time for them to get to the island."

"Yeah, that's what you mean... the whole body explodes at once? The pipe on our side exploded first, and then the one a few streets over. I think there was a problem with the design from the beginning."

"Insurance? You didn't buy insurance, and neither did I. I don't know if the pipeline company will compensate us when the time comes..."

The exploration team members looked at each other.

It seems that there is no need to think of other reasons, and Li Ge does not need to worry anymore. The people on this street have already found a reasonable reason for the burst pipe.

But then again...is it turned out that the leader is so cruel?

Guan Hongyan silently glanced at the leopard cat in Du Zhongsheng's hand. It was hard to imagine what he had done to create such a grand occasion.

Just when the image in Guan Hongyan's mind was superimposed on the leader gnawing at the pipe with all four hands, finally, Brother Li called back.

"No," Li Ge said on the other end of the phone with a gloomy face, "I may not be able to come. How about you help me calculate the losses... Although I may not have much loss."

A day ago, with so many instruments in Maode Academy, the loss might have been huge, but now, after being attacked by the tabby cat, his loss is probably the smallest on this street.

After all, all the losses had been made yesterday... This is such a joke from hell.

Li Ge silently covered his face with his hands, feeling that it was even more hellish that he could laugh at this time.

"Why can't you get out?" Fang Xiang and the others came over and asked with concern, "Is it because you can't sneak out?"

"Yes," Li Ge frowned, "My mom probably learned her lesson from locking me up at home yesterday, so today she even blocked the way out through the window. I just pretended to go to the bathroom and went downstairs, but I found that there was someone in the living room, the only way out. I'm afraid I can't get out today."

"I don't know what's wrong with my mom," Li Ge started complaining without waiting for anyone to guide him. "I was just going to work, but she insisted on stopping me and even locked me up at home. Could it be that she wanted to take me on a blind date because she was afraid that I wouldn't leave the island? I just graduated, why would I go on a blind date!"

"It's really strange," Yun Guang nodded in agreement, and then complained a few words half-truthfully, "I ran away because my family urged me to go on a blind date. I originally came to Haining Island for the simple folk customs. Who would have thought that on such a simple island, there would be people urging me to get married."

As a fellow wanderer, when Yun Guang said this, Li Ge immediately seemed to have found a soulmate and started to complain. After complaining for a while, Yun Guang suddenly said casually: "By the way, why doesn't your mother allow you to go to work?"

"I don't know," Li Ge shrugged, "I find it very confusing too."

Yun Guang nodded his chin several times as if he was thinking, and suddenly he seemed to understand something: "You say... could it be because of the cat?"

Seeing that he finally got to the point, several people around him quickly looked over.

"Because of the cat?" Li Ge obviously didn't understand. "Why because of the cat?"

"Because the cat took revenge on you!" Guan Hongyan poked her head out from the side. "Don't you think it's strange? The cat took revenge on you, and your mother happens to be able to communicate with cats, so she must know why you were retaliated against. Why didn't she tell you?"

"Yes," Li Ge also slapped his thigh, "Why? I'm going to ask my mom!"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute!" Guan Hongyan hurriedly stopped him, "Do you think your mother will tell you if you ask her?"

"Ah?" Li Ge looked confused, "My mother doesn't know how to do that?"

"Of course not," Bai Jinshu said calmly, "Did she explain to you why she didn't let you go to work and why she locked you up at home?"

"Indeed... no, could it be that she doesn't want to tell me?" Li Ge scratched his head, "So what should I do?"

"How about we ask for you?" Yun Guang pondered for a moment. "We happen to be employees of your store. We can come to your house to cause trouble on the grounds that our work has been affected. Then we will be more aggressive and ask you for an explanation. You can just ask your mother to come out."

"We will be the bad guys then," Guan Hongyan chimed in, "one of us will play the good cop and the other the bad cop! If we act tough, your mother will definitely tell us the whole story. Even if she doesn't tell us, she won't be able to lock you up in front of us, so she will definitely let you out!"

"I think it's okay!" Li Ge's eyes lit up, "I'll wait for you!"

Outside the screen’s perspective, the eyes of several other newcomers also lit up.

Done.
