Chapter 14

Yan Xuanjin returned to the dormitory and opened a secret door on the wall, which led to a secret room. He inserted the storage device given to him by Hummingbird into the computer in the secret room. In this secluded place where there was no electromagnetic signal and even the network was wired, he checked the information obtained from the laboratory.

There is not much information available, most of which consists of daily monitoring data on the kittens, records of the experimental process, and subsequent status analysis.

Yan Xuanjin did not click on this type of information, but was attracted by a video with a large memory.

He clicked on it and found that it was a surveillance video of the laboratory where the kitten was.

The video was very long and Yan Xuanjin watched it for a long time.

The light in the secret room was dim, with only the computer screen in front of him flickering.

The cat's meowing filled my ears, mixed with the voices of several experimenters—ruthless, threatening, sarcastic...

Yan Xuanjin sat in front of the screen, watching the video play over and over again, watching the kitten trapped in the cage being tamed again and again by all kinds of strange and cruel means.

He suddenly remembered the last time the cat was locked in the isolation box and the burnt marks on its front paws from being electrocuted.

There are no windows in the secret room, but there is a complete ventilation system. However, Yan Xuanjin still feels stuffy and irritable.

After the screen flickered several times, he finally came to his senses, dragged the mouse down, and saw the technology that described how cats were born - DNA programming technology.

The laboratory extracted a fragment of a cat's genome from an ancient meteorite and analyzed the arrangement of this gene chain. To revive this extinct creature, they extracted genes from the closest living cat-like creature. By comparing and fusing the two gene chains, they ultimately obtained five theoretically viable cats, matched their genes based on data, and raised them.

I seem to have heard of this kind of technology somewhere... Yan Xuanjin closed his dry eyes and lay down on the table.

When I recall the almost one month I lived with the cat, and think of my previous suspicions of it, my heart aches.

He remembered the promise he had made to the kitten, so he stood up and walked out of the secret room - to give the kitten a name.

…

It was four o'clock in the morning, a full two and a half hours before morning training, and Hummingbird was sleeping soundly in bed with the cat in her arms.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the dormitory door.

Hummingbird got out of bed in a daze, opened the door and was shocked.

"...Boss, why are you here?" Hummingbird was so sleepy that he didn't remember that there was a cat in his bed.

"I'm here to find the cat." Yan Xuanjin's voice was hoarse and his eyes were red. In the dimly lit corridor, his yellow-green eyes flashed with fluorescence.

This was so scary that Hummingbird didn't even argue with him and obediently handed the sleeping cat to him.

Yan Xuanjin carried the cat and left, all the way back to his dormitory.

Looking at the cat sleeping soundly in his arms, Yan Xuanjin's heart, which had been beating wildly all night, finally calmed down a little.

The black wolf ran out again disobediently, pulling at Yan Xuanjin's trouser leg and trying to touch the cat with his snout.

Yan Xuanjin refused and proudly pinched the cat's ears to show off to Heilang.

Time passed quickly in the company of the black wolf and the cat. The wake-up bell rang, and in an instant, the entire base woke up from its slumber.

Yan Xuanjin took the cat to the cafeteria to pack some food. He fed himself first, then woke up the sleeping cat and let it eat before going back to sleep.

Yan Xuanjin looked at the cat nodding its head every time it ate, and wondered if the cat was a little sleepy lately.
