Chapter 165: There's Someone Above Me Cat and Mouse

They say cats have their ways and mice have their ways. Without mentioning the deeper meaning of this sentence, the literal meaning alone is indeed quite accurate.

Just like Dabai likes to walk on empty roads, Baiji and other rats also like to dig underground rat holes. During the time they have been here, they have diligently dug a large area of ​​underground nearby, making it a network of passages. It is not a problem for them to sneak from the neighboring community to the old building in the urban village.

So when they were fighting for their lives on the ground and were being turned upside down by the ghost catchers led by Boss Zhao, Bai Tu took the opportunity to go through the underground passage reserved for rats with his little brother and arrived at the door of the old building one step ahead.

Wang Qingqing just tried to call her parents to let them know she was safe, but unfortunately, neither of their phones was connected. It wasn't because there was no signal, but because no one answered.

Now she no longer worried that her parents would be worried about her not coming home all night, but instead began to worry whether something had happened to the two of them.

There are all those things everywhere outside, who knows if someone will go to her house to cause trouble.

At this time, she actually hoped that her attraction to them was real, or even greater. Only if she attracted the attention of all the monsters, her parents next door would have a chance of survival.

Just when she was worried, a familiar chirping sound suddenly rang out at the entrance of the corridor.

Chen Zhi and the others were so frightened that they immediately huddled together like frightened birds, trembling and hugging each other, looking towards the source of the sound with alertness and fear on their faces.

Wang Qingqing was very surprised at this moment. She made a hushing gesture to everyone, turned her head and looked over there, whispering tentatively, "Tuntun?"

"Chiji." The white dolphin responded and ran out from the darkness.

When Chen Zhi saw that it was this little thing that appeared, he breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that it was not a monster from outside that came in, otherwise their lives would be really over.

Wang Qingqing caught the flying white dolphin with both hands, almost crying with joy. "It's really you! How are my parents at home? The fact that you can run over here means they're okay, doesn't it?"

The white dolphin naturally couldn't tell her anything, so it could only chirp to comfort her.

Perhaps affected by the strange aura, when they arrived, they found that all ordinary people in the nearby area had fallen into a deep sleep.

If it were any other time, they would definitely be in danger, like fish lying on a chopping block, allowing monsters to devour them.

But now, with the Abnormal Affairs Bureau making such a big fuss outside attracting the hatred of the monsters, and Wang Qingqing, this soft and delicious little cake, tempting the attention of the monsters inside, who has the time to care about those ordinary humans who they think have no resistance and will become their food sooner or later?

So it turned out to be a blessing in disguise for them. Apart from sleeping extra soundly, there were no safety issues.

The reason why the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs sent so many people and caused such a big commotion was partly due to the large number of strange monsters that gathered, and the other reason was that they wanted to keep ordinary people safe as much as possible.

Therefore, in addition to a fierce battle to attract the attention of the monsters, they also sent people to protect the community and buildings to prevent any monsters from slipping through.

Baitun had basically understood all of this on the way here, and was not too worried about the future situation of Wang Qingqing and his group.

With the boss's people around, no matter how many rabble there are outside, they are just a drop in the bucket.

Now all it has to do is accompany its target through this crisis.

"Meow--" The sudden cat's cry interrupted Baitun's thoughts. He turned his head and met a pair of round amber pupils.

The white dolphin felt a chill down its spine instantly. The close threat from its natural enemy made it instinctively want to run away.

But unfortunately, the next moment it was pinned to the ground by Dabai's cat claws.

The white dolphin tried to struggle but found it was futile and had no power to resist. Not only did it begin to doubt its life as a rat, but it also knew that it was no ordinary rat. It was a mutant rat that had devoured a lot of precious crystals!

Dabai: You talk as if it's an ordinary cat. Everyone is a mutant. There's nothing to be proud of.

It happened so quickly that Wang Qingqing only had time to scream. By the time she reacted and tried to stop it, the guinea pig had already been pinned down by the big white cat's claws.

"Master White Cat, please show mercy!" Shen Zhi didn't care about being afraid and rushed over to save the rat's life for his beloved.

Wang Qingqing followed closely behind, nervously explaining, "Mr. White Cat, this is my pet guinea pig, not the little mouse that cats like to eat. Could you please let it go? We will give you lots of little mice later!"

The others also quickly promised to send many gifts of thanks to the White Cat who saved their lives, and then let the White Cat eat as many little mice as he wanted.

Regardless of whether it's to save a little pet mouse or not, it's right to please the big white cat at this time.

It’s not because they are cowards!

"Meow!" I won't eat the little mouse, Dabai made a protesting meow, lowered his head and fiddled with the stiff guinea pig a few times, then lay down and sniffed it to make sure he was not wrong.

It just smelled the scent of its own kind from the rat, not a cat, but a monster of the same kind. It seems that this rat is also a mutant.

The white pig was frightened by its series of actions and quickly introduced itself: "Wait, don't eat me, the Lord Mo who is fighting outside is my boss!"

Dabai was about to let it go when he stopped. Meow asked it, "You dishonest little mouse, you actually dared to lie to a cat? Boss Zhao is clearly the boss of my Zhou Zhou."

Nowadays, even the boss is being snatched away by others, so it has to guard Zhou Zhou for its family.

The white dolphin quickly explained that it was subdued by the boss, and led the chipmunk tribe to submit to the boss and do some small jobs under the boss.

Dabai let it go doubtfully, wondering, "Then why do you stay with her as a pet mouse?"

The white pig immediately jumped away and shook its fur. Together with the white pig, it looked at Wang Qingqing, whose expression had slightly eased after seeing Shushu was fine. It pretended to be mysterious and said, "I can't tell you the details. I can only tell you that this was arranged by the adults. Don't you think it's strange that she can attract so many monsters tonight?"

In fact, Shushu didn't know either. He guessed that it might be related to the boss's destiny, or it might be due to other reasons. No matter what it was, it would not prevent it from using the tiger's skin to fool the big white cat first.

Dabai nodded thoughtfully: "It's really strange. Was she like this before?"

The white dolphin shook its head. It was only tonight. If it continued like this, it would be too dangerous. It would then have to consider the possibility of asking the boss for a change of position.

The two of them were talking and meowing in the same manner, as if they were getting along very harmoniously, which shocked the young masters and young ladies who thought they would see a bloody scene of cat eating mouse.

I have to say that although tonight was thrilling and scary, it was really exciting and it broadened their horizons.

Who would have thought that there would be such monsters in the world, and cats and mice living in such harmony.

It's true that if you live long enough, you can see everything.

"The boss is coming!" The white dolphin's innate rat nature made it the first to sense Zhao Simo's approach.

At the same time, Dabai, who had undergone mutation and strengthening, also sensed Sister Zhou's breath.

The mouse and the cat looked at each other and immediately separated. One quickly jumped into Wang Qingqing's arms to act as a mascot, and the other quickly ran into the old lady's house and hid.

The next second, a tall figure with the light behind him walked into the corridor, with an imposing aura and the smell of blood was overwhelming.

The people hiding outside the old lady's house were trembling with fear, not knowing whether the ones coming were rescue workers or the monster boss outside.

At this moment, Rong Zhen crawled out from Zhao Simo's collar, showing her cat head and calling out, "Dabai? Dabai, where are you?"

You little one, come out quickly and take the blame, otherwise your master will think that you fell into a pile of monsters and got eaten, and will go crazy killing monsters!

Zhao Simo took a step forward and appeared in the dim light, revealing Sister Zhou who was a step behind him, covered in blood.

Everyone's hearts were just at ease when they found out that he was a human, but then they were shocked by the strong bloody smell of killing coming from Sister Zhou. They didn't dare to ask or move at all.

Sister Zhou came in and asked, "Who are you? Why are you here? Have you ever seen a fat, big white cat?"

Chen Zhi guessed they might be rescuers, and his tone of inquiry was quite normal. He was the first to speak out, "I've seen them, we were brought here by a big white cat to hide. I don't know what happened to the monsters outside, but they blocked us at the gate of the next door community and besieged us. We had no choice but to come here with the big white cat at the critical moment."

They had thought about hiding in the neighboring community a few steps away, but no one could guarantee that they would be safe once they got in and not be wiped out by the monsters.

Just at that time the big white cat appeared and called the old man and the old woman for help. They suspected that there was a safe place, so they gritted their teeth and followed.

After listening to their conversation, they confirmed that Sister Zhou was indeed the rescue worker who rushed in early. The others let down their guard and cried excitedly, holding their heads in their hands. Fear and the pain of their wounds all swept over them, and three or four of them fainted on the spot.

Fortunately, the cold temperature in the building hindered the blood flow, otherwise they would not have been able to hold on until now and would have died of exhaustion.

Sister Zhou was originally looking for the cat, but now that she knew the cat was fine, she could only save the person first in this situation.

As the only person who was not injured, Wang Qingqing also came to help. Originally, she asked Chen Zhi to take care of the guinea pig, but when the guinea pig saw the boss coming, it refused to leave her side and jumped directly from her arms to her shoulders and lay there, making its presence felt.

At least Zhao Simo noticed it at a glance, and Rong Zhen who was hanging on him also noticed it.

When the latter saw the little white mouse appearing on Wang Qingqing's body, her cat eyes suddenly lit up. She thought to herself that the male and female protagonists had indeed come into contact and their relationship had developed to this point. Considering their current environment, it was the perfect time and place for her to complete her first plot task.

Opportunity is rare and will never come again. Rongzhen decided to seize this opportunity.

So while Sister Zhou was busy, she called out to her owner, "I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be back soon."

After that, no matter how Zhao Simo responded, the four cat paws spread out and ran away, disappearing on the stairs in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Simo clenched his hands for a moment and then released them. He controlled his legs with great difficulty and prevented himself from catching up.

He said he would give her one chance. If she chose to leave him and pursue freedom when they returned to their hometown, then he, then he...

The man refused to dwell on the idea. He turned and knocked on the old lady's door, saying expressionlessly, "Thank you very much for taking in and protecting the human being and letting the cat out."

The topic changed so quickly that the old lady almost couldn't hold it in.

Dabai, who was hiding behind the door, shuddered. Not wanting to embarrass his former owner, he obediently popped his head out: "Meow~"

Zhao Simo noticed its difference at a glance, "Mutated? It can be used to help kill monsters. If you do a good job, I'll recommend you and let you become a partner with your master."

The master he refers to is naturally Sister Zhou.

Dabai was very tempted, but he couldn't bear to leave the old lady, so he looked at her guiltily.

The old lady touched its head and said to it lovingly as she had when it was little, "Go, children will eventually leave home when they grow up. Captain Zhao is broad-minded and can point out a good future for you. Grandma is very happy and relieved. Don't worry about me, I'm here. I'll be very happy if you can come back to visit occasionally."

"Grandma, then, then I'll leave. I will come back to see you and grandpa often in the future." Dabai made his choice while choking.

The old man appeared behind the old lady at some point, nodded and greeted Zhao Simo from a distance, and silently watched Dabai follow him away.

Sister Zhou had just moved the injured to a vacant room upstairs when she saw the white cat brought over by her captain. She immediately picked it up and spanked it: "You've become so capable, haven't you? How dare you sneak out in the middle of the night?!"
