Chapter 131 Something's not right, very not right.

After finishing her work, Meng Shiwan realized that she hadn't seen Taxue all day.

Normally, Ta Xue would be constantly in front of her, so this sudden quietness was quite unusual for her.

"Ta Xue? You haven't had dinner yet, have you? Are you going to sleep with me tonight?"

Meow~

The lazy sound of footsteps echoed from the second floor.

Meng Shiwan stepped onto the stairs and saw Ta Xue still curled up on the black cube, sleeping.

It probably heard her shout, and at that moment it raised its head to look at Meng Shiwan, then tucked its head back into its belly to sleep.

Clearly, he didn't want to eat dinner, nor did he want to sleep with Meng Shiwan.

Its round body nestled on the cube, with flesh and fur spilling out from the sides, as if it were wearing a fluffy hat on the black cube.

Seeing that it wasn't very lively, Meng Shiwan asked worriedly, "Are you sick? Are you feeling unwell? Why are you sleeping so much?"

Ta Xue is usually very lively and sometimes quite mischievous, so her sudden quietness made Meng Shiwan a little worried.

Ta Xue looked up again and saw her owner's worried face. She then stood up from the black cube, stretched her butt out, walked over to Meng Shiwan, and rubbed against Meng Shiwan's arm to show that she was alright.

Meng Shiwan held it and checked it over from head to toe, but found nothing unusual, which put her at ease.

She jumped down the steps with Ta Xue in her arms and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Meow~" Ta Xue seemed uninterested and not very hungry.

Meng Shiwan placed it on the cupboard. "How about cooking shrimp and small fish? And get a can of fresh stew, so the cat can have a good meal."

As she spoke, she went to the freezer to get shrimp, and then caught two small yellow croakers from the fishpond, put them in a small pot, added water, and started cooking.

Ta Xue stood on the cabinet, her round eyes looking at Meng Shiwan busily with a puzzled expression.

Why did you feed it so well tonight?

Based on its understanding of its human, something's wrong; something's very wrong.

It sat on the table, its round eyes staring intently at Meng Shiwan, as if trying to see through its owner's wicked scheme.

Wherever Meng Shiwan went, it followed.

Meng Shiwan couldn't keep up the act any longer and laid her cards on the table, "Okay, I admit it, there's something I need your help with."

"Meow~" It knew it all too well; it understood its human all too well.

Meng Shiwan cupped Taxue's head in her hands, a slightly ingratiating smile on her face. "It's like this, I want to raise some chickens, ducks, and geese so they can lay eggs for me to eat, but the eggs I collected from the farm last time were mostly still incubating. You know, I'm human, I don't know how to incubate eggs."

Upon hearing this, Ta Xue's already round eyes widened even more, her face filled with disbelief.

"Meow?"

It pulled its head out of Meng Shiwan's hand and looked at Meng Shiwan with a face full of doubt.

She can't incubate the eggs, so does that mean it can?

The pet owner wouldn't want it to incubate, would they?

Is this a terrible idea that any human could come up with?

Meng Shiwan glanced at its soft belly and grinned, "Ta Xue, you're the best. I believe you can do it. You raise meat for a thousand days to use it for one day. With your chubby body, you'll definitely be able to hatch eggs."

"Meow!"

Treading on snow is extremely fierce.

It disagrees; it doesn't want to incubate the eggs.

It's a cat; it doesn't incubate eggs.

Meng Shiwan hugged it and stroked its smooth fur. "Ta Xue, please help me out. If you have eggs to eat in the future, I'll make you boiled eggs, steamed egg custard, egg drop soup, canned eggs, steamed shrimp with eggs..."

Each time she uttered a name, Ta Xue's eyes lit up a little more.

Finally, Ta Xue let out a meow, her face showing a look of resignation to her fate.

It's just hatching eggs. Compared to all the delicious food, what's a little humiliation?

Meng Shiwan patted its head, "Good boy, I'll go get the egg now."

She's raised Ta Xue for so many years, she knows this foodie too well, and can easily handle the little cat.

Meng Shiwan took out a fluffy little blanket from her space, folded it into a thick square, and placed it on the edge of the second floor.

Then, from several large incubators in the space, ten chicken eggs, ten duck eggs, and ten goose eggs were taken out and neatly arranged on the plush blanket.

In fact, these eggs are nearing the end of their incubation process, and the chicks inside have already formed. They will hatch in just a few days.

The baby uses its belly to keep warm in the snow; once it's warmed up a bit, it'll hatch.

With all this prepared, Meng Shiwan stood on the stairs and called to Taxue, "Come on, sleep in the nest. I'll bring you food before they hatch. Except for relieving yourself, it's best not to leave the nest."

Ta Xue came up to the second floor and looked at the nest of eggs. Her cute cat face was full of resignation.

It bit the edge of the fluffy nest, dragged it to the black cube, resignedly crawled inside, and hugged the egg to its chest.

It must have been uncomfortable, so it shifted its body to find a more comfortable position, resting its head on the edge of the plush blanket, staring with its eyes wide open, looking utterly hopeless.

Seeing its appearance, Meng Shiwan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Once the fish and shrimp were cooked, she peeled them, removed the bones, put them in a small plate, covered them with a stew can, and stood on the stairs. Using thin vines, she pushed the small plate towards Ta Xue, who was incubating the eggs.

Ta Xue, resigned to its fate, lay in its nest, resignedly eating canned food.

After eating, he lay his head down and went back to sleep.

After settling Ta Xue in, Meng Shiwan took out some cooked food from the refrigerator to eat a couple of bites. She didn't play games that night and went to bed early.

The next day, as the sun shone down, the outside instantly became a blazing oven.

Several team members have already gotten up.

After clearing away the zombies in the surrounding area, they slept on makeshift beds on the floor in the lobby on the first floor that night.

The building has electricity and air conditioning, which is more comfortable than sleeping in the car.

Lu Yu was preparing breakfast. With limited ingredients, he decided to make a noodle soup.

The other team members were helping out, kneading dough and preparing ingredients.

Lei Zhe walked to the door and saw that the curtain of the RV was drawn. Thinking that Meng Shiwan had not yet woken up, he did not disturb her.

They prepared breakfast, each eating two large bowls of rice, and were quite full.

Qiu Zhiyi rinsed the dishes with water, then gathered everything together and tidied it up.

Lei Zhe ran to the door again and saw Meng Shiwan wearing short sleeves and shorts, standing next to the cabinet eating bread.

He messaged Meng Shiwan, "Sis, are we leaving for another place today?"

The zombies here have all been cleared out; there's no point in staying any longer.

When Meng Shiwan saw the message, she picked up her phone and replied, "I'm not leaving today, I'm going to farm today."

Lei Zhe scratched his head. "Farming? What kind of farming? Your little vegetable garden?"

What can you plant on that small plot of land? Just scatter some seeds and they'll grow vigorously.

There's no need to plant it for even a day.

His message had just been sent when the view in front of him suddenly changed.

What was originally a cement square, a flat cement road, and a dry, cracked field in front of it suddenly turned into a dark brown area.

Lei Zhe looked closely and exclaimed, "Wow, what a huge farmland!"
