Chapter 203 The Last Mission World
After the big earthquake, aftershocks continued.
After several days in a row, Xingxing had begun to become familiar with and accustomed to this feeling. Sometimes, he would even be awakened from his sound sleep, and would curl himself up and try harder to tuck himself into his mother's neck. The kitten, who had grown a little big, still couldn't break the habit of sleeping next to his mother's pillow.
That day, he slept with his belly snoring. He could have slept all night long, but in the middle of the night he was suddenly awakened by his mother's movements.
It opened its dark green eyes in the dark night and found itself being hugged tightly by its mother. The quilt on its mother was also wrapped tightly. The mother was curled up in a ball on the bed, shivering unconsciously.
"Meow?" The kitten nudged its mother's chin with its head in confusion.
Qiuqiu was also awakened and reminded: "Xingxing, it should be getting colder, look at the window."
In the dark night, a layer of light transparent ice had unknowingly formed on the windows.
"It's snowing." Qiuqiu flew to the window and looked out.
It had been raining for several days since the earthquake, and I don't know when it stopped. The rain turned into soft snowflakes that fell in the night. The temperature in the house dropped rapidly, and Xingxing could only sense his mother, who was a big heat source.
"We need to wake up mom, let her cover herself with more blankets, and turn on the heater." Qiuqiu scanned the sleeping Tan Zhaozhao and concluded, "If the temperature continues to drop tonight and your mom doesn't have time to keep warm, she will catch a cold at best, or even fall asleep unconsciously because of rapid hypothermia at worst."
So Xingxing struggled to squeeze out of her mother's arms, and then meowed and kept patting her mother's forehead and cheek with her paws.
Several minutes later, Tan Zhaozhao was awakened by Xingxing's call while shivering.
For some reason, she slept very deeply and felt uncomfortable all over when she woke up.
After being woken up, Tan Zhaozhao realized that the room was terribly cold. Although he was still in bed, he shivered violently, and it seemed that even the blood in his body was cold.
She shivered again, got up hastily, put on some warm clothes, then tucked Xingxing into the quilt to cover her up. Then she got up hastily and knocked on the door of the guest bedroom next door to wake up Li Shan. Then the two of them put on some warm clothes and ran out to call others.
I don’t know when it started, but the team members will always think of each other at the first opportunity, and will try to notify each other immediately when encountering danger. No one will forget or leave anyone behind.
Xingxing squatted in the quilt for about ten minutes. When the little heat left in the quilt was about to disappear, the sound of her mother and the human chatting shiveringly finally came from outside the door.
The kitten crawled out from under the quilt, showing a furry little head at the end of the bed, and listened attentively to what they said outside the door: they were going to wake up the other residents, otherwise someone would definitely not wake up in time and suffer bad consequences.
Xingxing thought about it, jumped down from the end of the bed, ran out to her mother's feet, tilted her little head up and eavesdropped openly.
People, what are you saying?
-
Two minutes later, Xingxing returned to the throne of its kitten days - its mother's hood, and was taken by its mother to inform other humans.
Xingxing was a little afraid that she was too heavy and would push down her mother's hood, and the collar would strangle her mother.
In order to avoid such accidents, the little orange cat, who was not very big, stretched out its two paws nervously, hugged its mother's neck from behind like a little child, rested its little head on its mother's shoulder, and squinted its eyes comfortably in the cold wind and fine snow.
Xingxing is very happy every time she goes out with her mother.
Even if it can't go anywhere and can't do anything, as long as it is with its mother, it is worth it for the kitten to wag its tail happily.
"Baby, are you cold?" Tan Zhaozhao tilted his head and asked the baby who was lying obediently on his back.
"Meow, ah~" a little bit.
"If you're cold, hide in the hood of your mother's hat. Don't expose your head, otherwise you'll get a bellyful of cold wind, okay?" Tan Zhaozhao said as he touched the cat's head that was lying on his shoulder with his backhand.
“Oh~”Okay, mom.
The kitten agreed obediently with its mouth, but its body was even more honest as it lay motionless on its mother's shoulder. Its round green eyes were squinted by the wind, but it was still looking around for its mother curiously and vigilantly.
The place where Tan Zhaozhao went was not far away, which was the earthquake shelter near their community. There had been continuous aftershocks in the past few days, and many buildings in the city had collapsed completely. Many survivors had moved to the Zhaoyang community one after another, and finally built many shelters to deal with earthquakes on the open space here.
So a new resettlement site was soon formed here.
When Tan Zhaozhao arrived, someone nearby had already woken up and was notifying others.
Seeing this, she breathed a sigh of relief, walked up to communicate with the person in charge, and then learned that the authorities had already made arrangements and had notified all parts of the country before the extreme cold came, asking all residents to be relocated on the spot.
In other words, whether people are migrating out or staying or migrating here, during periods of extreme cold or even longer natural disasters, they no longer need to live together in resettlement sites, but can temporarily settle down on the spot. All houses without residents will no longer be empty, but will be used for everyone to live in to avoid the cold.
Everyone must follow the rules, whether your house is occupied by others or you live in someone else's house, life is the most important, and everything else is secondary.
After all, people who leave their place of residence and move away have to live in other people's houses in order to survive.
So that night, the community became lively again.
Xingxing nestled in her mother's arms, warming herself by the little solar stove, and listened to her mother communicating with several humans. She was told that she should close the doors and windows, and also be careful of anyone coming upstairs. It would be best to temporarily lock all the passages.
As the kitten listened, he finally felt sleepy again. He yawned and snuggled into his mother's arms with sleepy eyes. Soon he fell into a sound sleep in the warm temperature.
It snowed all night and was getting heavier.
Song Qianyi didn't know how long this extreme cold snowstorm lasted. She said that when she died, the snowstorm had lasted for two full months.
Everyone was prepared to endure the cold and keep warm for a long time.
Xingxing squatted on the windowsill, looking at the white snow gradually accumulating on the ground downstairs. In a trance, it seemed as if she saw the two days before the rainstorm.
At that time, my mother was busy preparing supplies, and it was also squatting here, watching the accumulated water downstairs outside the window gradually increase and deepen with Qiuqiu.
In a blink of an eye, it has been a long time since it came into this world.
"I miss my uncle a little bit." The kitten's light green eyes reflected the falling snow outside the window. It was a little depressed for a rare time, and asked softly: "How many tasks have we completed?"
Qiuqiu quickly gave the answer, "Baby, this is our sixth mission world."
After saying that, it felt a little reluctant, but still added in a low voice: "You can't go back after you leave. If you miss them, write more letters. Interstellar Express will deliver the letters to Uncle Hu."
"Am I going to keep becoming another star like this?" The little zombie star looked down at his cat paws.
Qiuqiu thought about it but couldn't come up with a suitable answer, so he could only say cautiously: "Probably not. The boss said that when your soul becomes more harmonious and can perceive more emotions, all your memories will be slowly unsealed, and then you will be sent to other departments for training."
In fact, Qiuqiu had already asked this question on behalf of Xingxing.
Because Qiuqiu is worried that Xingxing will continue to become another little star and will one day forget his original self.
It was worried that repeated missions would gradually erase and cover up Xingxing's original personality memory, and then little by little turn it into a strange appearance that was completely different from the original little zombie.
At that time, the boss replied, no.
Qiuqiu didn't know why the boss was so sure, but...
"Kid, the boss said this is your last mission as a kid for the tragic supporting characters. After completing the mission, we will return to the Space-Time Administration to rest for a while. The boss said that he will give you a very long vacation to rest, and then train you to work in other departments."
"The last mission?" Xingxing widened her cat eyes in surprise.
Qiuqiu jumped a little, and his tone became cheerful. "Yes, it's the last mission. After we finish it, we can have a long vacation. Then I will definitely take you on a time travel. Our headquarters has many small worlds suitable for travel and relaxation. They are all well maintained. I guarantee that you will want to go again after you go!"
The stars stared at the little ball of light jumping happily, the tips of their ears trembled slightly, and they also responded softly.
The last mission.
The kitten tilted its head and looked towards the kitchen, where a figure in plush pajamas was plugging in the electricity and busy cooking cat food.
Xingxing doesn’t remember the previous mission world, nor does she remember whether she had another father and mother.
Its memory came here after it left the end of the world.
Become a kitten, meet your mother, and a new doomsday.
Qiuqiu said that compared to humans, the lifespan of a kitten is very short.
Xingxing hopes that her mother can live a long life, but it seems that the kitten's body can only accompany her mother for a dozen years.
Once it leaves this world, it will never come back.
What will Mom do in the remaining decades without the company of the stars?
Will there be another kitten who will continue to love her mother on behalf of Xingxing?
When Xingxing stares at the snow outside the window, he misses Uncle Hu.
Because it knows how much it will miss its mother after leaving her, it seems to be a little sad now that it has not left its mother yet.
Qiuqiu said this is the sixth mission world.
So when my memory is restored...will I miss humans a lot?
They are all humans who can never go back and will never be seen again, and they are humans who love them very hard.
Sealing its memory made it forget all emotions and even forget the existence of the mission world.
But when the memory was unlocked, Xingxing thought, I must be the happiest and loneliest little zombie in the whole world and the whole universe, right?
"But I hope they can live forever." The kitten said suddenly.
Qiuqiu was stunned for a moment and realized that it was talking about Hu Xingzhe and Tan Zhaozhao.
Perhaps because the child saw too many deaths in the two apocalypses, he suddenly gained a little self-understanding of life and death, and he always hoped that the humans he loved could live a long life.
From the sunflower father to the current human mother, Xingxing thinks this way in every world and it has never changed.
"...Baby, all humans will die. After death, they will be reincarnated and have a new life."
Essentially, it is alive all the time.
Xingxing covered her eyes with her paws in frustration.
After a long while, he quietly argued: "No, after you die, you will forget me."
That way, only the stars will always miss them.
Not fair at all.
But this is the only unfairness that Xingxing cannot fight against.
