2 The cat froze

◎Two little kittens◎

All cats have a fatal weakness, which is more obvious in young cats - the piece of flesh on the back of the neck.

This is the place where their elders would bite. When the kitten was picked up by pinching this piece of meat, it subconsciously retracted its four paws and had no intention of resisting.

It was carried higher and higher, then turned and faced a smiling face.

"Oh, you're still a dirty little cat. Did you eat enough just now? The weather is nice today, shall we go wash it?"

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is dirty. Not only is it dirty, it is also in very bad condition.

The cat was about the size of two adult men's palms and looked only about four months old. Not only was its fur tangled up in clumps, but it also had bald patches here and there.

Not only that, after picking up the kitten, Fu Yiran discovered that its left hind leg had a strange curve, its right eyelid was swollen, and there was only a slit left in the round cat eye. It looked like it made people worry about whether its eyes were okay.

What a poor thing.

Fu Yiran carried the cat and walked towards the lake.

The kitten seemed to have just reacted. It didn't care that the weak point on the back of its neck was being pinched, and began to struggle frantically.

Fu Yaran sighed and muttered, "Are all the books I read fake? Isn't this a weakness? I was so obedient just now."

As she spoke, she rubbed the kitten's head, and the supernatural power flowed through her fingers into the kitten's body.

A refreshing feeling that is more obvious than rubbing yourself or eating fish comes instantly. It is no exaggeration to say that it is like being inhaled catnip and getting high. The mind is blank, and only the floating comfort is left.

It seems like I haven't felt this relaxed and comfortable in a long time.

When the kitten woke up, it had been washed clean and its wet fur was placed on the stone where Fu Yiran had been lying before.

Since she had nothing else on hand, Fu Yiran just washed its fur and tried to comb it out with her fingers.

Then the cat looked even more pitiful.

Knowing it's light and seeing its ribs protruding are two different feelings.

Moreover, during the bathing process, Fu Yiran also saw several wounds on its body that had healed but still had marks and no hair had grown.

Each wound looked quite large.

What exactly has it been through?

And after washing it, Fu Yiran discovered that this was not a gray-yellow cat, it was clearly a little orange cat!

Seeing that the cat was about to run away again, Fu Yiran was prepared this time. She held the cat's back with one hand, used a small amount of supernatural power to attract Xiaoju's attention, and then walked around and stared into Xiaoju's eyes.

The swelling is better than before, probably because she didn't stop using her supernatural powers to bathe the cat.

She estimated her current abilities and knew that it was impossible to cure Xiaoju's eyes in one go.

Not to mention Xiaoju's legs.

She had just seen that Xiaoju didn't tremble at all when using that leg. The initial estimate was that it was broken, but it had already grown back into place.

This kind of injury requires breaking the leg first, then focusing on the bones and regrowing the leg.

Not to mention that given her current relationship with Xiaoju, Xiaoju would never trust her enough to let her treat her broken leg. As for Fu Yiran herself, she also hoped that her supernatural powers could be improved a little more so that she could use her supernatural powers to eliminate most of the pain of Xiaoju's broken leg growing back, and then treat this injury.

"Okay, be good." Fu Yiran rubbed the cat's head and gently placed her fingers on Xiaoju's swollen eyelids.

The familiar cold breath seeped in through the eyelids, and this time it did not circulate throughout the body, but only stayed in the eye sockets.

Xiaoju didn't even notice that the hand on its back was no longer giving it any supernatural powers. It just felt that its eyes were very comfortable.

The problem of its eyes that had been making it anxious seemed to have been alleviated, and its blown-out fur gradually became soft and docile.

Fu Yiran did not hold back and used up all her special abilities.

Seeing that Xiaoju's swollen eyes had obviously subsided, she relaxed a little.

Who knew that just because of this relaxation, the little orange boy who was so limp just now suddenly rushed out.

Fu Yaran held Erkang's hand: "Wait..."

Before he could finish a word, Xiaoju had already run into the woods.

"...Can cats be so fast?" Fu Yiran doubted her life.

She remembered that when she was a child - specifically before the end of the world, she had seen cats. Although they were agile, they couldn't be this fast, right?

Did it disappear in just one second?

Or disappear in two seconds?

But on second thought, this little orange is most likely a mutant animal.

Even if it's a cub, it's normal for it to have special speed.

I just don’t know if Xiaoju will run away because of being caught this time. I guess... no, right?

After all, her ability is a bug to animals.

Fu Yiran's dinner was still grilled fish.

There was no way, she was by the lake now, and the easiest food to find was fish.

A few hours was enough for her to fully recover her abilities, and they increased quite a bit, making her feel like she was one step closer to level three.

But no matter how she released her supernatural powers when she was grilling the fish, or how she used them to rub the fish, no cat appeared.

In the end, she could only eat her own grilled fish. The specially processed grilled fish was placed on a big rock. As for herself, she lay on the rattan bed on the tree.

She made the rattan bed in the afternoon. The stars in the sky were bright, so it shouldn't rain in the next few days, so it would be fine to sleep on the tree for a few nights.

There are no zombies in this world, and living animals will not hurt her because of her special abilities, so Fu Yiran slept peacefully.

After all, so many things happened today, and she was still seriously injured. Now that she relaxed, she fell into a deep sleep.

On a big tree five trees away from Fu Yiran, an orange-yellow ball of fur stood on a thick branch, with one round eye and one eye that was one-third open staring in Fu Yiran's direction.

Its pointed ears moved, and its keen hearing allowed it to hear Fu Yaran's breathing become slow and heavy.

He should be asleep.

But it is cautious.

Having suffered several losses at the hands of Fu Yiran today, it stared at Fu Yiran for at least half an hour. Seeing that Fu Yiran didn't move, it jumped down from the tree.

When it jumped onto the big rock, the cat looked back vigilantly and listened carefully. After confirming that Fu Yiran had not moved and her breathing frequency was still the same as before, it felt relieved and lay down to start eating the grilled fish.

The grilled fish was already cold, and the supernatural powers contained in it had dissipated a lot, but eating it could still relieve the cat's pain.

If before today, the situation could have been eased a little, the cat would have been extremely satisfied.

But now, after eating the whole grilled fish and feeling full, it still felt uncomfortable.

It sat upright with its two paws standing in front of it, looking extremely serious despite being so small.

After thinking about the moon for a while, it looked back at where Fu Yiran was sleeping, picked up the remaining fish bones, and ran away quickly.

——

When Fu Yaran woke up, it was already bright outside.

The tall trees and lush leaves blocked most of the sunlight from her, and only tiny spots of light fell on her.

After stretching, Fu Yiran climbed out of the rattan bed, slowly climbed down from the tree, went to the lake to wash up casually, looked at the fat fish in the lake, and decided not to eat fish today.

The forest was a very new place for Yaran. Many of the plants around were unfamiliar to her, and she was very interested in each one.

And many plants have borne fruit.

Fu Yiran selected the fruits that had been eaten by small animals and picked them one by one to taste.

If the ones you like are delicious, pick a few more; if the ones you don’t like are unpalatable, leave them on the ground as nutrients.

Since she couldn't hold it in her hands anymore, Fu Yiran rolled up a big leaf and used it as a pocket.

In addition to the fruits she picked, Fu Yiran also unexpectedly saw perilla and ginger. After digging out the ginger, Fu Yiran felt particularly good.

The more seasonings you have, the tastier the food will be.

Seeing that the leaves could no longer fit in, Fu Yiran found a rabbit hole, caught a rabbit, and walked towards the lake by the ears.

When they were almost at the lake, Fu Yiran heard some noise. She turned around and saw an orange figure flash by.

It turns out he didn't run away.

A smile flashed in Fu Yiran's eyes.

She thought the little guy had run away after eating the fish last night.

When they arrived at the lake, Fu Yiran quickly and decisively twisted the rabbit's neck, leaving in her hand a leaf that was half the size of a palm and as long as a palm.

This was the leaf of a plant that Fu Yiran didn't recognize. After discovering that it was very hard and sharp, Fu Yiran picked it off. Yesterday she used it to gut a fish, and today she used it to skin a rabbit.

After preparing the rabbit, Fu Yiran chose to roast it.

There's nothing else she can do here.

The aroma of roasted rabbit is different from that of roasted fish. While roasting the rabbit, Fu Yiran was getting familiar with her rapidly increasing superpowers.

As for that flash of orange that occasionally appears in the woods?

Fu Yiran pretended not to know.

After the rabbit was roasted, Fu Yiran took a bite.

Although rabbits are one of the fastest-reproducing animals, due to some coincidences, there are no rabbits in the remaining bases in the apocalypse.

So Fu Yiran didn’t know whether the rabbit was tender or if rabbits were delicious.

A rabbit is not very big, and Fu Yiran ate it all in one meal and could even eat a few fruits.

After eating and drinking, she didn't want to move, so she simply climbed onto a big rock, lay down, covered her face with a leaf, felt her limbs warm up, and fell into a comfortable dream.

Within the forest.

The little orange cat stared at the two-legged beast on the stone with an expressionless face, but its tail was swinging back and forth on the ground in annoyance.

Didn't this two-legged beast leave today? Why is it back?

And why is there no fragrant fish today?

wrong.

It doesn't want the offering from this two-legged beast!

The cat withdrew its gaze, walked around the location of the Twolegs, stopped at the edge of a lake far away from the Twolegs, stared at the lake for a long time, and quickly and accurately caught a fish.

Cat hunting JPG.

A fish that was bigger than the two fish it had eaten yesterday came into its claws. The cat looked proudly at the two-legged beast that didn't move at all.

Sure enough, bipeds are weak. Not only can they catch only small fish, but they also lack vigilance.

The cat was biting a fish that was twice as big as its body, and was almost dragged into the water by the fish because of distraction.

In anger, the cat slapped the fish to death with one claw, dragged the fish away from the lake, and then took a big bite.

The cat froze.

The cat vomited.
