Chapter 141 The Living Are Slightly Dead

Tao Yarong walked out of the factory and reported the situation to Meng Shiwan, "Sister, there are no supplies inside. It seems that a superhuman came and took the supplies. It was an ice-type superhuman."

The other team members also returned from various places.

Lu Yu: "Sister, there are no supplies in the factory we went to."

Ma Jiandong: "It's the same on my end. All the zombies are dead. Someone came to move them."

Qiu Zhiyi: "It's the same on my end. The zombies have been killed, but there are no supplies. It seems that this factory area has been emptied out, and we won't find anything here."

Meng Shiwan looked up and scanned the area. The factory area wasn't very big, with five or six factory buildings.

She recognized the brand of this bread; it was quite famous and sold both online and offline before the apocalypse.

only……

"Sister, sister, I saw a factory building behind us. The windows and doors on the first and second floors were all welded shut. There were lights on upstairs, so there might be someone there."

Meng Shiwan raised an eyebrow.

Sure enough, she was right. Where there is food, the survivors have a greater chance of survival.

The survivors gathered the factory's supplies in one building.

Furthermore, among these survivors was an ice-type ability user, which greatly increased their chances of survival.

Ice-type superpowers can cool down the body and also turn it into water for drinking.

Meng Shiwan took out a pile of kitchen utensils from her spatial storage. "Let's cook."

Since that's the case, she doesn't necessarily need the bread.

There's no need to compete with these survivors who barely made it to the front lines.

After finishing our meal, we continued our search in other factory areas.

The sky had already darkened, and everything was hazy and indistinct.

Upon hearing Meng Shiwan's instructions, the group stopped thinking about anything else and focused on preparing the meal.

Qiu Zhiyi cleaned the surrounding ground, and Lu Yu began to think about what to eat.

Ma Jiandong piled up a ring of ice around the area, which significantly lowered the temperature.

Others helped wash and chop vegetables, steam rice, and do other chores.

Lei Zhe asked, "Lu Yu, what are we eating today?"

Lu Yu was setting up a makeshift stove. "There's still some bone broth left from last night. How about steaming some rice, stewing some braised pork, and stir-frying some mixed vegetables?"

To put it nicely, it's a mixed vegetable dish, but really it's just various leftover vegetables from yesterday, all stir-fried together.

Stir-fry pork over high heat until fragrant.

“Sure.” Lei Zhe had no objections.

I thought it was great to have a cook in the team; we could set up a stove and cook a big meal wherever we went.

Meng Shiwan returned to the RV, went up the stairs, and saw that Taxue was still sleeping.

"Ta Xue, go out and get some exercise, don't just sleep all the time."

Ta Xue raised its head, still half asleep, and meowed.

Upon seeing Meng Shiwan, it stood up from the floor, stuck out its rear end, and stretched out a big yawn.

Meng Shiwan stared at the super long snow-covered figure in deep thought, as if it had grown a little older.

From Meng Shiwan's perspective, Ta Xue's manner as he walked towards her was quite domineering.

Like a little lion, his eyes seem much sharper than before, and he's acquired some of the ferocity that only animals have.

Meng Shiwan was a little confused. If the Black Cube could make Ta Xue grow bigger, could it also affect its personality?

The kitten that used to be so cute and cuddly now looks fierce.

Meng Shiwan jumped down the stairs, letting Taxue come down by herself.

The next second, Meng Shiwan felt a weight on her back, as if a meteorite had hit her shoulder.

Even someone as strong as her couldn't help but cough a few times.

"Meow!"

Ta Xue squatted on Meng Shiwan's shoulder and rubbed her head against Meng Shiwan's head, but then slipped and slid onto the cabinet.

Ta Xue turned around, staring at Meng Shiwan with her big, round eyes, her gaze filled with grievance and sadness.

The pet owner actually pushed it off his shoulder.

The pet owner doesn't love it anymore.

Meng Shiwan rubbed her shoulder, both amused and exasperated. "Ta Xue, don't you even know how big you are? My shoulders can't support you anymore."

Ta Xue tilted her head, looking at the helplessness and sincerity on Meng Shiwan's face, and then at her thin shoulders.

Clearly not believing in superstition, he made another big leap, landing on Meng Shiwan's shoulder.

He lost his balance and slipped, falling onto the stairs behind Meng Shiwan.

Meng Shiwan was kicked again and let out a muffled groan, slamming her head against the cabinet, barely alive.

She realized that Taxue was still her affectionate cat, only now it was stronger.

It almost kicked her, a level six ability user, causing internal injuries.

If it were an ordinary person, it could probably kill them with one swipe of its paw.

Ta Xue blinked its eyes, now believing that its owner didn't stop loving it, but that it had just grown bigger.

It jumped onto the cabinet with a thud and licked Meng Shiwan's hair as an apology.

My once smooth hair was now licked so much it looked like a bird's nest.

Meng Shiwan resignedly sat up and patted Taxue's big head. "It's okay. Even if you become a big baby, you're still my baby. If I can't carry you anymore, I'll hold you."

Meng Shiwan supported its rear end, hugged Taxue in her arms, got out of the car, and closed the car door with her foot.

Tao Yarong, who was helping to chop vegetables, saw a person and a cat, and her eyes widened even more than Ta Xue's.

"Good heavens! Is this really the same kitten we knew before?"

Meng Shiwan was holding Ta Xue's bottom, and Ta Xue's front paws were resting on Meng Shiwan's shoulders.

Ta Xue's large body, along with its fluffy fur, completely covered Meng Shiwan's upper body.

From Tao Yarong's perspective, it looks like an oversized fat cat with two legs.

Lei Zhe was also stunned. "It's only been a day, and it's grown so much again? I'm starting to wonder how big Snowwalker's size will grow before it stops."

The team members looked up at Ta Xue, all of them bewildered.

Its current size is probably about the same as a small dog.

Even among lion cats, this is considered a large size.

Meng Shiwan put Ta Xue on the ground, took a deep breath, and said, "Go, go play by yourself."

Standing on the snow, I looked around. It was hot everywhere, not fun at all.

It lay lazily on the ground, not wanting to move.

Lei Zhe's eyes lit up, he put down his work and ran into the factory building next door.

When he came out again, he had a stack of iron stools in his arms, which he could sit on when he ate later.

He put down the stool, picked up the top one, and walked up to Meng Shiwan. "Sister, melt a ball."

Meng Shiwan: ? ? ?

Lei Zhe grinned, "Melting a ball, I have a use for it."

Meng Shiwan didn't understand, but she did as instructed.

She used her metal-based superpower to melt the iron bench, turning the metal into a liquid that solidified into a ball, which she then handed to Razor.

Reiji caught the ball with both hands, but his hands sank, and he almost dropped it to the ground.

He held the ball in both hands and walked up to Ta Xue, who was lying on the ground. "Little kitty, come on, let's play ball together."

Meng Shiwan: ? ? ?

The others: !!

Tao Yarong was speechless. "Lei Zhe, are you out of your mind? What cat plays with a metal ball instead of a yarn ball?"

Even Qiu Zhiyi had to exclaim, "You're so mean! You're bullying Ta Xue..."

He stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking.

Lei Zhe, along with the iron ball, was sent flying several meters away by Ta Xue.

Just now, ignoring their complaints, Lei Zhe placed the iron ball in front of Ta Xue and playfully teased the cat.

"Ta Xue, let's play ball together, it's a lot of fun!"

The bored snowman's golden eyes lit up the moment he saw the ball, clearly showing interest.

It stood up, stretched its head, and pricked up its ears, ready to catch the ball in Razer's hand.

Seeing that Taxue liked to play, Lei Zhe put the ball in his hand on the ground and rolled it in front of Taxue.

A normal cat will hug the ball and bite and kick it.

But Snowwalker isn't a normal cat; she's an incredibly intelligent cat.

Ta Xue originally wanted to pull the ball back and let Lei Zhe roll it back again, because it's more fun when there's a back-and-forth.

To everyone's surprise, it slapped down with its paw, sending the two fist-sized iron balls flying.

The ball hit Reiji in the stomach, sending him flying several meters before he crashed heavily onto the outside of the ice.

There was a moment of silence when everyone saw this, as they all doubted the reality of what they were seeing.

Ta Xue was also bewildered, looking completely puzzled.

It tilted its head, looking at Lei Zhe who was lying on the ground holding the ball, and couldn't understand why this person was playing ball with it, and then ran away with the ball in the middle of the game.

If you won't let me play, then I won't play. You're so stingy! Why did you grab it and run away? It wasn't trying to take it away.

Ta Xue let out a heavy sigh, looking exhausted, and lay down on the ground, resting her head on her white-gloved paws, to continue sleeping.

Lei Zhe stood up, clutching the iron ball, and exclaimed in despair, "Qiu Zhiyi, what did you just say? Who's bullying whom? Look for yourself, who's really bullying whom?"

Chiu Chih-yi: ...

"I take back what I just said. Pretend I didn't say anything."

After her initial shock, Tao Yarong burst into laughter, "Hahaha, Lei Zhe, you're not even as good as a cat. You can't even beat a cat at playing ball."

The others couldn't hold back either and burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, that's hilarious! Lei Zhe is even worse than a cat." Lu Yu laughed, holding a spoon.

"To be honest, Ta Xue is indeed quite strong. Even a lion or leopard wouldn't have that much strength," Anjiewen pondered.

Jiang Yuan suppressed a laugh, "Lei Zhe, you're useless."

Ma Jiandong couldn't hold back, "Hahaha, Lei Zhe is useless, hahaha..."

The laughter was truly grating to Razer's ears.

He refused to believe it, "Me, a level five ability user, playing ball with a cat, how can I not be outmatched? Ta Xue, let's play another round."

He stormed up to within two meters of Ta Xue, waving the iron ball in his hand.

Ta Xue raised her head and tilted it, thinking that this human was really strange.

Let's play. Humans are stingy, but this little cat is very generous and won't hold it against them.

Ta Xue stood up, ready to catch the ball.

This time, Lei Zhe didn't roll over; instead, he raised both hands and tossed them into the air towards Ta Xue.

Although not much force was used, the iron ball itself was heavy, and it had quite a bit of momentum as it flew through the air.

Ta Xue raised its paw and caught the iron ball, slapping it back.

This time, Lei Zhe was prepared. He caught the iron ball firmly with both hands, but before he could even feel happy, he was hit by the ball again and flew several meters away.

Lei Zhe was numb, completely numb. He sat on the ground holding the ball, shocked by Ta Xue's strength.

Even the biggest cat shouldn't have that much strength, right?

Ta Xue watched Lei Zhe fly away and wagged its tail in annoyance.

This guy was stingy again, grabbing the ball and running away. I'm never playing with him again.

"Hahaha!"

"I'm dying of laughter, Lei Zhe, you're useless, hahaha."

The arrogant laughter rang out, and Lei Zhe found it even more grating.

Meng Shiwan stood aside and watched this scene quietly, and also felt that Ta Xue's strength was indeed a bit too great.

The laughter was so loud that even the people in the building at the very back of the factory could hear it.

A young woman wearing a short-sleeved shirt and shorts walked to the window, gazing at the night outside, where faint flickering lights could be seen.

She asked, "Has anyone come to our factory?"

The man standing next to her replied, "It seems so. Someone just said they smelled stewed meat."

That's meat, you know. They can smell even the slightest bit of it.

They've been eating sweet bread for so long they're almost sick of it.
