Chapter 70 The Taste of Companions



"Meow!"

The calico kitten seemed to understand what Lin Qingliu said and meowed in displeasure.

Lin Qingliu didn't care. He usually encountered a lot of stray animals. If it weren't for the particularly strange color of this one, he would never have stopped to say hello.

But the next scene surprised Lin Qingliu. He saw the kitten walking towards him with a drunken pace, as if it had not yet adapted to this body.

And the other party's target is obviously himself——

Food bag in hand.

His food bag contained the nutritional paste newly developed by the factory.

“You are so smart.”

Lin Qingliu came here because he heard that a new flavor of nutritional paste production line had been opened in the southern urban area.

After traveling through time for a long time, he gradually learned how to hide his identity.

Eating meat every day is something that not everyone can afford, let alone in the outer suburbs, even in the inner suburbs.

Even if he could afford it, meat was not always available.

In addition, there was a small discrepancy between the medical fees of his psychological clinic and his daily expenses.

Therefore, Lin Qingliu has been eating a lot of nutritional pastes of various flavors recently.

Seeing the opponent attacking his bag of nutritional paste, Lin Qingliu ran away without thinking.

He had no intention of sharing his staple food for the next week with the other party, especially since he didn't know if the kitten had any infectious disease.

Thinking of this, he quickened his pace and walked towards his home.

The two-headed cat, with only one head left, walked laboriously on the street, its little head full of doubts:

That person clearly smelled like my companion, so why did he turn around and leave when he saw me?

In its eyes, humans are just a special kind of beast, no different in essence from those guys with a lot of heads and legs.

But if you think about it carefully, the smell of your companion seems to come from the thing in the other's hand.

Could it be that his companion was killed?

Although it sounds a bit sad, it is not something difficult to accept for the monsters.

After all, when it still had two heads, the two consciousnesses would sometimes have some differences, not to mention the coexistence of different beasts.

Challenging a strong person inherently carries the risk of failure, and it doesn't matter whether you are discarded or eaten after you die.

However, the two-headed cat is now very weak.

It had no idea why it was able to recover into this state. It had clearly been hit by a bullet with huge kinetic energy while falling in the air.

It had already lost consciousness by then.

When it woke up from the garbage dump, it found that its body was completely different from before.

What the two-headed cat didn't know was that the mycelium that had failed to control it was constantly spreading in the garbage dump with the help of nutrient-rich water, connecting to many animal carcasses.

After sucking away all the remaining nutrients in their bodies, the remaining skin was not wasted and became the source of the mottled color of the calico kittens.

The kitten, which had suddenly lost many of its legs, limped through the night, moving forward in the direction of the smell.

I also took a shower to get rid of the smell on my body.

Finally, in the early hours of the morning, he arrived in front of a house.

After walking around the house, the kitten confirmed that there were no loopholes on the first floor.

So under the cover of night, the kitten climbed up the drainpipe on the second floor in an almost forward-leaning posture and squeezed in through the gap between the windows.

It is now July of the 52nd year of the New Era, and it is too hot even if you do nothing.

Although he could already flexibly control his body temperature and sweat glands, Lin Qingliu still chose to pretend and opened the windows every night when he went to bed.

Lin Qingliu's acute five senses and ultimate control over himself allow him to generate an area similar to a perception range around him.

The moment the kitten put its paw on the drainpipe, Lin Qingliu opened his eyes from his sleep.

"There's something wrong with this cat."

At this moment, Lin Qingliu was extremely certain of his guess.

As I said, this cat is a little too smart, as smart as a dog.

Lin Qingliu sank silently into the floor, and at the same time activated the ability of the natural history path, observing the little guy who was secretly invading in the dark.

If this thing really has bad intentions, Lin Qingliu will have to add one more experimental material.

The kitten jumped lightly to the ground and didn't notice the eyes staring at it from the ceiling. It followed the direction of the smell and came to a large white box.

It had absolutely no experience of interacting with humans and had no idea what this thing was.

But it quickly found a gap on the edge and successfully stabbed its claws into it.

With a push of its two front paws, the magnetic door of the refrigerator was pried open a crack.

A gust of cold air blew in the kitten's face, and the kitten shuddered suddenly, then sneezed twice.

Then it sniffed hard, and a happy expression appeared on its face:

"Meow! (It smells like my friend!)"

As long as he eats his companions' legacy, he can recover most of his previous strength.

Although I don’t know why my companion became like this, I don’t care.

At the same time, Lin Qingliu on the ceiling was surprised at the body structure of the mysterious creature that invaded his room.

The visual enhancement that comes with the Museum Path plus the second-level external ability [Analysis] allows Lin Qingliu's sight to easily penetrate the kitten's body like an X-ray.

At the same time, he also had a clear view of the other party's body structure.

This cat, no, this mysterious creature with a cat's head is simply a monster!

Only its head looked like a real cat, but there were also filaments in its head that Lin Qingliu could not distinguish.

Its entire body seemed to be made up of the flesh and bones of various corpses that had been softened and reshaped.

This synthetic beast-like body structure broke Lin Qingliu's cognition:

Is the human technology in Hope City so advanced?

According to Ji Yongxing, who has interned in various departments, this kind of thing should not happen.

Since the official authorities cannot reach this level of biotechnology, it is even more impossible for non-governmental organizations to do so.

In this case... Lin Qingliu's eyes turned and he had another idea:

Is this cat a strange beast?

God bless you, after being in this world for so long, this is the first time that Lin Qingliu has seen the true form of the strange beast.

Putting aside the much-publicized image of the exotic beast, even if it was placed in its own hometown, this exotic beast would be more or less a bit useless.

But now is not the time to think about these things. The cat has obviously launched an attack on his lunch for the next week. He must not let it go on like this!
