Chapter 197 Are you a little monster?
"But, no matter what, people are more important than cats, right?" Another person spoke up at this time. She was relatively rational, but also aggressive. She pointed at her struggling mother and said, "Look at my mother and a few other elderly people. They are so old and finally survived the natural disaster. They just chatted and said a few words...but now they are in this state. Are they going to be forced to death?"
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger and were silent for a moment.
"Anyway, no matter what kind of evil spell your cat or you have cast, I just want to ask you if you can solve it? Do you really have to let them tear their mouths apart before you stop? We are all neighbors, we see each other every day, can you really be so cruel?"
Tang Jin turned around and looked at Tan Zhaozhao.
Tan Zhaozhao did not look at the culprit cat in his arms, but just replied calmly: "Yes, we are all neighbors, we see each other every day, but they gathered together and said bad things about me behind my back. Do they want to kill me or my cat?"
Her question surprised everyone.
Well, that seems to make sense.
As the saying goes, he who teases first is the cheapest. This incident did not start with the girl. It was a completely unprovoked disaster. I don't know how many bad things those gossipers said about her before this.
During the confrontation between the two sides, the first to take action were the few elderly people who were still struggling.
They suddenly and uniformly stopped struggling and tearing themselves apart.
When everyone noticed their behavior, they looked in surprise, and then saw these people staring at the stars, their faces full of fear and terror, and some people even pointed at the stars and shouted that it was a monster.
Xingxing lazily swung his tail, turned around and buried his round little head in his mother's arms.
Qiuqiu didn't care much about Xingxing being exposed anymore.
When Xingxing easily broke the seal just to teach these humans a lesson for Tan Zhaozhao, Qiuqiu knew that he could no longer hide.
But it doesn't matter.
When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth.
Stars with superpowers are much less afraid of any dangers that may occur than stars without superpowers.
After the team members evacuated all the confused and confused people who were watching the fun, Tang Jin and others still found Tan Zhaozhao as an official team and said they wanted to have a detailed talk with her.
Even at this time, I didn't forget to pretend that I wasn't familiar with her.
Tang Jin brought Tan Zhaozhao upstairs, with only Li Shan and Bai Yichen following them.
When we reached the corridor on the first floor, the heat from outside had already seeped in, making our breathing a little more sluggish than before.
Tang Jin's face was solemn, and he asked Tan Zhaozhao straight away what had happened just now.
Tan Zhaozhao looked at his inquiring eyes, was silent for a moment, and shook his head: "If you are asking what happened just now, then I don't know anything. I was sleeping at that time."
Tang Jin frowned and said in a deep voice: "Tan Zhaozhao, I hope you can tell me everything about this cat truthfully."
However, Tan Zhaozhao was extremely calm. Or rather, when he discovered what Xingxing had done, he had already been frantically deducing the current interrogation process in his mind.
The bottom line is… tell it like it is and then observe the behavior.
If these people want to take the stars away for research or have other ways to deal with them, she will take the stars and leave here at night.
If you can't escape, then...
Tan Zhaozhao suppressed his inner emotions and slowly recounted his past experiences, from the first time he delivered a kitten and saved it to the time when he later discovered that cats were very smart.
Finally, she also looked up at Tang Jin and asked him, "Captain Tang, no matter how special Xingxing is, she is just a cat that has just turned one month old, and she has never hurt anyone. If you want to judge whether she is harmful based on what happened today, as Xingxing's mother, I am willing to accept the punishment, but I will never admit to the false accusation."
Xingxing turned around from her mother's arms, sat upright on her mother's arm, and looked straight at the other person with her round green eyes.
Tang Jin avoided Tan Zhaozhao's gaze and lowered his head to meet the gaze of the little orange cat.
He was silent for a long time before he asked, "Do you really understand what we are saying?"
"Meow~" Xingxing nodded at him.
"Then why did you hurt those people just now?" Tang Jin seemed to be interrogating Xingxing.
Xingxing was still sitting upright in her mother's arms. Hearing this, she raised her head and looked at her mother, then meowed at Tang Jin again.
Tang Jin understood that it was saying that those people were hurting its mother.
Tang Jin couldn't help but recall all his past memories about this cat.
In my impression, it was really well-behaved. It took Tan Zhaozhao all his efforts to help it grow from a tiny kitten to how small it is now. Everyone in the team knew how important this kitten was to Tan Zhaozhao, and they even joked that the kitten was a little kid that grew up in its mother's hood.
Sometimes the kitten would interact with the team members, but more often it would squat in Tan Zhaozhao's arms and "quarrel" with Li Shan. One was aggressive and the other was equally fierce. Neither of them, big or small, was willing to give in to the other. In the end, they both threw the questions to Tan Zhaozhao and insisted that she choose the one that was the most important and the one she liked the most.
Every time he saw this scene, Tang Jin would hear the team members sighing that the kitten was so spiritual and smart.
At that time, I thought it was normal...
When I recall it now, I find that in every vivid picture in the fragments of my memories, this orange kitten has never hidden its intelligence and spirituality.
It's just that at the time they thought it was just ordinary intelligence.
Only now did I realize that there was something wrong with this kitten from the beginning.
Tang Jin suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and continued to ask the kitten in front of him: "So, can you tell me, what are you? A little monster? A human? A mutant? Or some alien creature?"
Xingxing's originally clear eyes gradually became confused as he made his speculation. The kitten tilted its head in confusion and stared at the human in front of it. After several seconds, it meowed at him.
Finally, he raised his paws and climbed onto his mother's shoulder, then put his head against her cheek affectionately.
"…What does this mean?" Tang Jin didn't quite understand this time.
Tan Zhaozhao's voice became particularly gentle, and she smiled and explained softly: "The star means that it is just my mother's star."
Tang Jin: “…”
A little unsure, let's see.
"Is that so?" he asked the kitten squatting on Tan Zhaozhao's shoulder.
"Meow!" Yes!
Star kitten nodded obediently and raised his paw to pat his mother's hair as if to reward her.
Smart, mom!
Tan Zhaozhao was amused by his own baby's actions and could no longer remain serious. He took it down from his shoulders again, held the small ball in his arms, and then looked at Tang Jin, who also had a weird expression and was not serious enough.
"Captain Tang, Xingxing is a kitten that I personally delivered and saved. The first person it saw when it opened its eyes was me. It has been following me ever since. It is only one and a half months old. If you think it is in any danger, I can guarantee that Xingxing will not hurt others without reason. So, I hope you can give me an accurate answer. Will you tell higher-ups about Xingxing's existence?"
Tang Jin did not answer immediately.
He couldn't answer.
Logically speaking, if something like this happens and he finds a special cat, he should report it.
But the implicit determination and protection in Tan Zhaozhao's words were also the reason for his hesitation.
At this time, Bai Yichen, who had been silent at the side, turned his head and said to Tang Jin, "No need to report it. Even if this cat is used as an experimental subject, they won't be able to find anything."
Several people and the cat looked at him together.
Bai Yichen rolled his eyes and coughed lightly. "To be honest, I had already guessed that this cat was unusual, so when you brought it to me, I did all the necessary tests."
"I also drew a few drops of blood for testing."
Yes, I beat him in front of Tan Zhaozhao and Xingxing, and I even stabbed the kitten in the ass...
Tan Zhaozhao and Li Shan: "..."
Star:"……"
Tang Jin: "...How did you know?"
Bai Yichen looked back silently and said something heartbreaking: "I thought you all knew that it is so smart, and it is like two different species from the other cats in the house. Such an obvious contrast...you don't know?"
Tang Jin: “…”
He took a deep breath and nodded resignedly, "Okay, since you said so, then I will believe you, and I also believe that Xingxing would not intentionally hurt anyone, but I still want to make one thing clear!"
Tan Zhaozhao and the cat looked at him, waiting for him to speak.
"From now on, unless you are in danger, you are not allowed to easily control others, scratch others, or put your claws on others' necks to threaten them. Can you do this?"
He lowered his eyes and stared at the stars seriously and asked.
The kitten shrank its paws a little guiltily and nodded obediently.
Tang Jin's complexion looked much better, but he still looked a little dazed.
Cats that can understand human language, cats with special abilities...
Could it be that this world not only has endless natural disasters, but also biological mutations caused by natural disasters? ?
He doesn't understand.
He decided to take a closer look at this unusual kitten that looked like a cat.
Then Xingxing discovered that when he was eating cans, yawning, sharpening his claws, acting coquettishly with his mother, and even when he was digging in the cat litter and squatting to poop... there was always a vague gaze falling on him from not far away!
The kitten was confused.
The kitten ignored it.
Kitten holding breath.
Finally, he couldn't stand it anymore, squatted in the litter box with his paws pinched, and shouted fiercely at a human: "Meow!!"
Tang Jin: "...Ahem, it's okay, just continue."
He turned his head away in embarrassment.
I vaguely feel like a pervert staring at cats.
-
Everyone hiding in the basement thought that they would spend their days like this, staying up all night and sleeping during the day, but soon, an accident occurred.
Even though Tang Jin and other official teams had tried their best to provide the people housed in the various underground areas with fans that did not require electricity, the fans only blew in hot air, and as everyone endured, some people did not make it to the cooler nights.
Someone fell down.
Even though he drank a lot of water and was fanned, he still fell down.
The speed of death was so fast that even Bai Yichen was helpless and could only watch the other person gasping for breath in pain and dying.
The expected heat stroke, the heat stroke that we had to prevent at all costs, began to take away one fresh but fragile life after another with the high temperature.
"You can't go out at night anymore." Tang Jin said to them in a deep voice, "Distribute food and water to all the resettlement sites tonight. Come back as soon as possible before the temperature rises. Starting tomorrow, don't go anywhere until the high temperature passes."
That night, all the members of the team, including Tan Zhaozhao, took action with Xingxing.
They needed to distribute the high-temperature materials prepared in Song Qianyi's space to various resettlement sites as soon as possible.
As for the areas not covered by the resettlement sites…
"Let it be."
