Chapter 40 040 Gene Fluid

Qiu Yi and the others returned together.

The group stood by the car, pushing and shoving each other, unable to decide for a long time who would open the door.

They couldn't quite explain what they were afraid of; Chi Yingdong couldn't very well eat them.

But that inexplicable sixth sense made him feel as if his feet were filled with lead, and he dared not move forward.

"Make way, make way, I'll do it."

Luo Zhiyin gritted her teeth and stepped forward, forcefully pulling open the car door.

But the moment the car door opened, she froze on the spot.

Qiu Yi and Han Li exchanged a glance and curiously stepped forward.

Chi Yingdong had a soft, cuddly little calico baby curled up in his arms, breathing lightly and sleeping soundly.

Looking to the right, in the passenger seat, Meng Qinghe's clothes from this morning were lying in disarray.

Each of the three harbored their own thoughts, their eyes swirling with unspoken emotions, and none of them dared to speak first.

In the end, it was Han Li, with his greater experience, who was the first to calm down and stammered, "There are quite a few zombies in the factory, but fortunately they are all low-level, so they are not difficult to deal with."

Chi Yingdong nodded lightly. In front of them, he lightly touched the clothes on the passenger seat with his fingertips and put them into his spatial storage. He then took out a soft, fluffy cat bed and placed it on the seat.

In this apocalyptic world, who would bother to keep a cat bed in their online space?

Some vague guesses were quietly confirmed at this moment.

When Chi Yingdong placed the kitten in the cat bed, the way he cherished it made everyone present understand.

Some things they choose to keep buried in their hearts forever.

Suddenly separated from the familiar embrace and warmth, Meng Qinghe curled up uneasily in her seat, clearly unable to sleep soundly.

Let's go.

Chi Yingdong got out of the car, a hint of urgency in his eyes.

If I finish what I'm doing sooner, I can come back to be with her kitten sooner.

Meng Qinghe was trapped in a fragmented dream, with countless images flashing by like a revolving lantern.

Chi Yingdong's soft and cute features, but his cold-eyed profile, the gentle figure of the ant queen... finally, the image freezes on the little black snake he caught in the zoo.

Hiss, hiss, hiss...

The sound of the snake's tongue flicking in and out seemed to be right next to my ear.

After an unknown amount of time, Meng Qinghe groggily opened his eyes, feeling a faint stinging pain in his ankle.

She looked down and saw that the bloodstains had soaked the white fur around her, making her look disheveled and pitiful.

Right next to the wound was a small, jet-black snake, exactly the same as the one in my dream.

Meng Qinghe: !!!

How did it get here?!

Meng Qinghe remembered clearly that after they brought the little black snake back from the zoo that day, it remained coiled in the corner, motionless, without even flicking its tongue.

They also speculated that perhaps the ice cover set up by Chi Yingdong was too cold, causing the little black snake to mistakenly believe that winter had arrived and enter hibernation ahead of schedule.

Even after Chi Yingdong removed the ice cover, the little black snake remained unresponsive, like a dead snake.

Who would have thought that it would quietly follow us and even get into the car!

Meng Qinghe suddenly stood up, his tail standing tall, his fur bristling, and he stared warily at the little black snake.

"Meow meow meow?"

What are you doing here?

Sensing movement, the little black snake slowly raised its round head, its beady black eyes staring intently at the little calico snake, its tongue flicking in and out rapidly.

"Hiss—"

Don't overthink it, I didn't come with you. The woman from the zoo came earlier too.

Meng Qinghe's cat eyes turned into vertical pupils as he looked at the little black snake with suspicion.

"Meow meow meow".

Why are you telling me this?

This snake is very cunning; Meng Qinghe didn't believe it would tell her this news for no reason.

The little black snake raised its head and stared intently at Meng Qinghe for a while.

"Hiss."

She's after some kind of gene serum; if you get it, give me some.

The little black snake saw the stubbornness in Meng Qinghe's eyes and knew that it couldn't lie, so it finally revealed its purpose.

The original female lead even came along.

Does that mean that anything arranged for the original female lead can only belong to her?

Meng Qinghe was indignant. She immediately looked around. At this moment, she was trapped in the car and had no way to tell Chi Yingdong this important news!

"Meow!"

Meng Qinghe scratched the car door with her cat paws in a panic, her eyes filled with anxiety.

The little black snake, however, remained calm and composed, extending its thin tail and nimbly rummaging through the storage pocket below the car door.

With a soft click, the car door slowly opened a crack.

Meng Qinghe looked surprised. After turning into a cat, her thinking was always a beat slower, and she had actually forgotten that the car had an emergency escape button!

She immediately squeezed through the crack in the door, and then quickly sniffed.

They caught the cool, refreshing scent emanating from Chi Yingdong and immediately ran towards it.

The little black snake followed closely behind Meng Qinghe, its body slicing across the ground and leaving a faint trail.

Along the way, zombie corpses could be seen everywhere, with wounds on their foreheads or necks, clearly indicating that they had been killed in one blow.

There wasn't much blood splattered at the scene, which clearly showed the swiftness and strength of the person who made the move.

Chi Yingdong's scent grew stronger, and Meng Qinghe quickened his pace and ran forward.

Finally, Meng Qinghe stopped in front of a door at the end of the corridor.

A familiar voice came from inside the door; it was Chi Yingdong's!

She immediately nudged the door with her head, meowing urgently, while scratching at the door with her paws.

The sounds inside the door suddenly stopped, and the next second, the door was yanked open.

Chi Yingdong saw the calico cat at the door, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, followed by a soft, warm feeling.

She placed her hand in front of the kitten, letting it jump onto her palm.

But when his gaze fell on the bloodstains on Xiao Sanhua's ankle, Chi Yingdong's face darkened.

She gently parted the blood-stained downy hair at the little floret's ankle with her fingertips, and when she saw the two tiny tooth holes, her brows instantly furrowed into a deep frown.

The little black snake, which had been slowly following, hadn't even had a chance to flick its tongue before its skin was slashed by the ice blade that Chi Yingdong had thrown.

"hiss--"

The wound from the ice blade wasn't large, but the chill felt like needles pricking it, making it cry out in pain.

"Meow! Meow meow meow!"

Meng Qinghe hurriedly used her paw pads to slap Chi Yingdong, stopping her from continuing to attack the little black snake.

Despite Xiao Sanhua's strong protests, Chi Yingdong withdrew his supernatural powers and took out iodine and gauze from his spatial storage.

The little black snake wagged its tail in dissatisfaction, but its eyes gleamed when it saw Chi Yingdong carefully cleaning the kitten's ankle wound.

Forget it, little black snake, a good snake doesn't hold grudges against petty people.

After treating the kitten's ankle wound, Chi Yingdong's breathing gradually calmed down.

Qiu Yi and the others also boldly stepped forward, looking at the little three flowers with delight.

No one can resist an adorable kitten, especially a beautiful calico kitten.

Everyone knew that this little beauty was Meng Qinghe, but no one dared to touch her.

Meng Qinghe nudged Chi Yingdong's wrist and called out a few times towards the outside of the building, trying to send a message.

The tacit understanding that had developed over this period allowed Chi Yingdong to immediately understand what Meng Qinghe was trying to express.

Chi Yingdong crouched down and gently stroked the little calico's head. His voice was unusually gentle, yet upon closer listening, it carried a hint of seriousness: "Has someone followed us?"

Meng Qing wasn't sure if Ye Rourou had arrived, but what she wanted to say was roughly the same as what Chi Yingdong had said, so she nodded.

The little black snake swam over and flicked its tongue at Chi Yingdong.

"Hiss."

Chi Yingdong couldn't understand what the little black snake was saying. He glanced at it quickly, then picked up the kitten and went inside.

As for the content of the communication, Chi Yingdong did not intend to tell Luo Zhiyin and the others, so as to avoid being too tense in the upcoming operation.
