Chapter 40 Deceived by a Cat
the next day.
Qin Zhuo and the others packed their bags quickly and efficiently, preparing to leave.
No one noticed that a black cat had already sneaked into their car and hidden in a secluded corner.
At midday, the blazing sun hung high in the sky.
Qin Zhuo glanced at his watch. "Let's stop and rest for a while, have lunch, and then continue our journey."
Chen Yunfei replied, "Okay, I'm hungry too."
The car came to a smooth stop, and the three people and the corpse got out one after another.
Qin Zhu patted Chen Yunfei on the shoulder and said, "Just have something simple for lunch, no need to go to great lengths to prepare."
"We've already wasted a lot of time outside, so we need to hurry and travel as much as possible to save time. Otherwise, I really don't know when we'll be able to complete the mission and get back to base safely."
Chen Yunfei nodded quickly and said with a smile, "Okay, Brother Qin, I also want to go back to the base as soon as possible. Only at the base can I get a good night's sleep comfortably without having to keep watch at night."
He then said to Yuxiang, "Little Yuxiang, could you please get some hot water for everyone to make instant noodles?"
Yu Xiang nodded, waved her hand, and used her special ability to adjust the water temperature, heating the water and making instant noodles for everyone.
Then, she took out several cans of food and distributed them to the three people.
While enjoying his instant noodles, Chen Yunfei looked at Youxiang, who was sitting to the side, lost in thought and bored, and asked curiously, "Little Youxiang, why aren't you eating the crystal seeds? You usually take them out to eat during our mealtimes."
"I'm not hungry."
Yuka patted her round little belly.
Waaah (T^T), it seems she ate too many crystal cores, and her stomach is bloated and uncomfortable.
It turns out that Yu Xiang had so many crystal cores. Like a greedy child, she had no restraint and would reach into her bag every now and then to take out crystal cores and put them in her mouth.
The others didn't pay much attention either, after all, who would have thought that a zombie would feel uncomfortable if it ate too much?
Chen Yunfei slurped up a few mouthfuls of instant noodles, and was about to open the can of fish that Youxiang had given him to enjoy when he looked down and was immediately stunned.
The two cans he had placed on the ground, the fish can, had vanished, leaving only the fruit can sitting there all alone.
"Huh? Where's the canned fish? Little Yuzu, did you put the can away?" Chen Yunfei asked with a puzzled look.
Hearing the sound, Yuka, who was squatting on the ground, suddenly looked up. "I didn't take it!"
Chen Yunfei scratched his head and muttered, "Why is there no canned fish?"
Yu Xiang jumped up from the ground and said angrily like a firecracker, "It must be that thieving cat! It actually followed me here and tried to steal my fish can again! No, no, I absolutely can't let it get away with this time!"
What happened last night was a great humiliation in her zombie life; she had actually been tricked by a cat.
Qin Zhuo stroked his chin and exclaimed, "This cat is quite amazing. We drove all morning and covered such a long distance, and it still managed to catch up."
Qiao Yan frowned slightly. "Apart from speed-type zombies, no other zombies can keep up with the speed of a car. How could a cat catch up?"
Chen Yunfei slapped his forehead and suddenly realized, "That's easy, the cat must have been hiding in the car and came with us."
Yu Xiang's short legs immediately sprang into action, and she hurriedly ran towards the car, her tuft of hair sticking up on her head trembling with each step.
All she could think about was finding that cat.
"Meow—"
Suddenly, a clear, meowing sound rang out.
Everyone's eyes immediately turned to the tree next to them, following the sound of the cat's meow.
Yuka, who had been walking hurriedly, suddenly stopped and turned around to look.
A black cat stood majestically on a tree, one paw resting on an empty can. Its posture was just like that of a little general, exuding an aura of "I'm the coolest cat."
Chen Yunfei's eyes lit up. "Hey, this black cat looks pretty cool, like a little black whirlwind swordsman!"
Yu Xiang's eyes instantly lit up with stars, and she cupped her face in her hands. "Yeah, yeah, this cat is so cool, I'm even a tiny bit tempted to get one."
You know, Yuxiang, a working-class woman, has always dreamed of owning a pet. Unfortunately, as a "cowherd" working woman, she works herself to the bone every day and can barely support herself, let alone have the time and money to keep a pet.
Seeing Youxiang's transformation into a cat lover in an instant, Chen Yunfei couldn't help but tease her, "Little Youxiang, you change too fast! Just a moment ago you looked like you wanted to tear this cat to pieces, and now you want to take it back and raise it."
Qin Zhu crossed his arms and raised an eyebrow. "This cat is a mutant. Look at its fur, it's so shiny and smooth, like it's been coated with a layer of black silk. It's obvious that it eats a lot of good food, so its fighting ability must be pretty good too."
Qiao Yan: "This cat does look quite formidable, it has an aura that's not to be trifled with."
"Meow."
I am indeed handsome and powerful, you people have good taste!
The black cat raised its head, its expression becoming even more arrogant.
Yu Xiang's eyes darted around, and she suddenly pulled out a few cans of fish and placed them under the tree. Then she squatted down and looked at the black cat with bright, sparkling eyes.
"Mimi, do you want some canned fish? If you come with me, I'll give you canned fish every day, so you can eat your fill!"
Mimi, what an awful name! I don't like it at all. I used to be a cat overlord!
However, the canned fish does taste quite tempting.
The black cat gracefully leaped down from the tree, its sharp claws swiftly slicing open several cans of fish before it buried its head and began to slurp and munch.
Yuka watched the black cat eat so heartily, her eyes crinkling into slits with laughter. She gently stroked the cat's head and said silly, "Once you eat my canned food, you're my cat!"
Hmm, this little girl's hands feel quite comfortable to touch.
The black cat enjoyed the yuzu-scented petting.
However, this cat won't give in so easily!
Chen Yunfei glanced sideways at the black cat that was engrossed in eating and couldn't help but grin and tease, "This black cat is truly a glutton! It's so easy for it to 'sell' itself for a few cans of fish."
Qin Zhuo put the instant noodle bowl aside, clapped his hands, and stood up. "Alright, let's finish our instant noodles quickly. We need to get ready to leave. Let's not waste time dawdling here."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yunfei quickly finished the remaining instant noodle soup in a few gulps and put the bowl down.
"Alright, we're done eating. We can leave anytime!"
Qiao Yan stood up and said to Youxiang, who was not far away, "Little Youzi, we should go!"
Upon hearing Qiao Yan's words, Youxiang quickly looked up and said, "I'm coming right away!"
As she spoke, she stretched out her two little hands toward the black cat, ready to take it away, "Mimi, we're leaving now."
To everyone's surprise, the black cat suddenly darted away, leaving Yu Xiang with her hands hanging in mid-air.
Yu Xiang was taken aback at first, then pouted and shouted angrily, "Mimi, you liar!"
