Chapter 182 Why are you here?
Qiuqiu was also released at the same time.
It was angry and anxious, but it could do nothing about the stars.
Finally, I could only calm myself down, float beside the kitten that was flashing downwards, and provide it with more useful information.
"That group of people were on the 4th floor. They were carrying a lot of things on their backs and were moving very fast."
"Two men, one in his twenties, the other probably in his forties, both in their prime."
"Your mother and the others have entered the building."
The ball flew out of the window and quickly flew up again after a moment.
"Don't worry, kid. They've already found the footprints in the corridor."
But at the same time, the two men also discovered Tan Zhaozhao and Li Shan.
At this time, Xingxing also arrived at the 8th floor.
It was so fast that it could be said that when it was a zombie, it had never moved so fast. Relying on the bug that allowed it to choose its landing point in space, the orange kitten seemed to have activated flash, disappearing and reappearing in an instant.
When they reached the 5th floor, Xingxing quietly stopped at the corner of the stairs, listening carefully to the sounds below.
Four people are confronting each other.
No one spoke.
Until a man said: "They are just two women, what are you afraid of? No one will know if you beat them up or rob them!"
Before he could finish his words, the two sides started fighting.
Xingxing quietly stretched out its sharp claws from the cold and slippery ground, and it poked its head out from the gap, observing the fight below.
Since they had discovered the footprints in advance, Li Shan and Tan Zhaozhao cautiously put down their supplies. One of them held a shorter black stick, and the other held a long martial arts stick.
One of the two men was holding a stick to pry open the door, and the other was holding a hammer.
"Zhao Zhao, be careful!" Li Shan rushed forward first. The long stick in her hand was not very useful in the staircase or corridor, but she still used it vigorously.
Tan Zhaozhao did not rush forward rashly, but she moved her fingers hanging by her side. When another man was fighting with Li Shan with his back to her, she raised her hand and poked the top of the stick into the man's neck.
The next second, the man's body stiffened and trembled as if he had been electrocuted. Tan Zhaozhao raised his hand and hit the man's neck hard with the electric baton.
Unfortunately, her strength was not enough to make the man faint.
In this extremely short period of time, Li Shan also used a long stick to block the other person's stick, and kicked the person one meter away.
"Fuck you!" The man recovered a little from the out-of-control electric current, his eyes became fierce, and he cursed insulting words, holding the hammer and raising his hand to hit Tan Zhaozhao's head.
Tan Zhaozhao hurriedly raised her hand and stepped back to block, but what was faster than her was a small orange creature that suddenly appeared above the two people's heads and instantly landed on the man's head, stretching out its claws and scratching the man's eyeball forcefully and accurately.
“Ah——!!!” The man was so painful from the sudden attack that he subconsciously curled up. He dropped the hammer and hurriedly covered his injured eye with his hands.
But it was too late.
Bright red, warm liquid flowed down his cheeks between his fingers, and the orange cat that was scratching his scalp did not let him go easily.
This time it didn't stretch out its claws, but slid down to his neck which was hard to reach with its hands, and like a cat playing with a mouse, it lowered its head and bit his neck tightly with its sharp fangs and refused to let go.
The severe pain and the panic of being attacked in a vital spot made the man wail even more miserably, but Tan Zhaozhao stood there in a daze, holding the electric baton.
She looked at the flexible and stubborn orange color on the man's body. After coming to her senses, she raised the electric baton in her hand and hit the man's head again and again, until the man's head was broken and bleeding on the ground and he fled like a headless fly. Only then did Tan Zhaozhao stop exhausted.
She still held the electric baton tightly, and her voice, which was already hoarse due to the cold, made it even more difficult for her to speak. She could only hurriedly glance at Xingxing who was still biting the man's neck, took a deep breath, and stumbled forward to help Li Shan subdue the other man.
Li Shan was equally ruthless and broke the man's leg bones with two sticks. After making sure that he had lost the ability to move, she leaned on her martial arts stick and tilted her head to look at the even more embarrassed Tan Zhaozhao.
"...Let Xingxing stop." Li Shan panted and said hoarsely, "If you keep biting, all the fur on your body will be stained with blood. It will take a long time to wash it when we get home."
Qiuqiu also asked Xingxing to stop again, because the man had passed the initial panic stage and he raised his hand to try to deal with the culprit who was biting him.
However, although the stars are small, they are extremely flexible at this time.
It loosened its bloody teeth, raised its hand, and scratched the back of the man's hand fiercely with its claws.
The sudden pain made the man cry out in grief again. When Xingxing was about to lower his head and continue biting through the bad guy's neck, a cold hand reached out and easily grabbed the skin on the back of his neck.
Xingxing retracted his half-extended claw.
Half of the orange kitten's body was stained with bright red blood, and its soft fur was stuck together in clumps. Its fierce eyes softened a little when it met the human's red eyes.
"Meow~" The kitten was picked up obediently. It curled up and hugged its little tail. Its voice was soft and had no aggression at all.
Mother.
The stars protected mom.
Mom is not injured, not bleeding, and will not get lost where the stars can't see her.
Realizing this, the kitten's tense body relaxed and was held in its mother's arms like a small plush pendant.
Xingxing even stretched out his paws and pressed them against his mother's chest, fearing that the bad blood on his body would stain his mother's clothes.
But how could a kitten compare to the strength of humans? It struggled in vain and was stuffed into its mother's cold arms with a little force.
Its excellent hearing allows it to clearly hear every rapid heartbeat in its mother's chest.
In the pouring rain, in the dark corridor, Tan Zhaozhao hugged her cat, squatting in a corner in a daze. After a long while, when her eyes slowly focused, she suddenly broke down and sobbed.
Both she and her cat were covered in blood.
It turned out that the end of the world had just begun for her.
The man's screams and wails of pain continued, but Tan Zhaozhao's mind had already gone blank.
She didn't know how she faced the danger calmly, and how she gritted her teeth and tried to smash the villain's head again and again.
All she knew was that when she thought she was going to be hit to death by a hammer, her cat suddenly appeared.
It was so small, but it seemed to burst out with so much courage in that instant.
"Why are you here?"
She lowered her head, and her tears fell on the kitten, one by one, as if trying to wash away the sticky, glaring blood on the kitten's body.
Tan Zhaozhao hugged the cat, crying and asking it repeatedly: "Baby, why are you here? Are you scared? Did he hit you? You are so small, how did you find him? You..."
She was a little incoherent, and actually she herself didn't know what she wanted to say.
Over the past twenty years, she has been an ordinary person. Now, she first bumped into Song Qianyi, who was suspected to be reborn and had a golden finger. After confirming the doomsday, she was like a spinning top, preparing for the arrival of the doomsday without stopping for a moment. Now she is facing the sinister and cruel people of the same kind, and even smashed the other party's head with her own hands...
Tan Zhaozhao knew that under such circumstances, the other party might not be able to survive.
In other words, she killed someone with her own hands.
Her hands were shaking as she held the cat, but she had no time to care about the person who was going to die. She just held her cat and asked it over and over again why it appeared and why it could be so brave.
Aren’t you afraid?
Such a big person, even she was scared and wanted to cry, so how could the kitten rush up without hesitation?
Have you ever thought about the consequences?
Such a small cat, with a head no bigger than the size of a palm, should not be able to think of so many complicated things, right?
Can……
"...You're really going to scare your mother to death, you know that!"
Tan Zhaozhao hugged Xingxing tightly and finally burst into tears to vent the emotions that had been pent up in his heart for so long.
The ears of the stars are placed on the hearts of men.
It heard crying and its mother's heartbeat.
So every beat of the human heart seems to be crying and saying: Baby, mommy loves you so much.
It listened in silence.
Although the corridor was noisy and bustling, Xingxing felt that the world was extremely quiet.
Mother's arms began to slowly warm up. Xingxing raised his head from her arms, and his green pupils reflected the appearance of a human crying. He raised his paws to wipe his mother's tears, but his paws were very dirty, so he stretched out his paws halfway and then retracted them obediently.
Finally, he curled himself up in his mother's arms, resting his head on her wet sleeves, and fell asleep with a tired snoring of his little body.
Li Shan came over, squatted down and wiped the blood and tears off Tan Zhaozhao's face. She tilted her head and reached out to pat her. There was no need to say too many comforting words. Her presence at this moment was the best comforter.
Tan Zhaozhao also gradually calmed down.
She wiped the tears from her face carelessly, and immediately ignored them when she touched her hot forehead. She said to Li Shan in a hoarse voice, "Call Captain Tang and tell him about the situation. Leave these two people here and let them deal with them. Let's go home now."
She didn't want to think about anything.
She just wanted to go home and wash the glaring blood off her kitten.
"Okay, you take Xingxing back first. I can take those things up by myself. Go back and take a shower and have a good sleep. Remember to take medicine when you wake up at night."
Li Shan knew that Tan Zhaozhao's body was probably reaching its limit, so she reached out and pulled the exhausted person up, pushing her upstairs first.
"Be careful." He warned and put the electric baton back into Tan Zhaozhao's hands.
Tan Zhaozhao nodded, and walked upstairs slowly and heavily, holding the cat in his arms.
Even though she had just been caught in the rain, her whole body seemed to be heating up rapidly, the breath in her nose became burning, and her head was aching dully.
This situation continued until she reached the 18th floor.
She suddenly stopped.
He looked at the intact fire escape door, then looked down at the sleeping cat in his arms. He stood at the door for a long time before he walked forward slowly and opened the door with trembling hands.
She saw three doors that were intact.
But she was not surprised, not stunned, and she didn't even use her remaining sanity to think too much.
After returning home and closing the door, she mechanically changed her shoes, then silently carried the sleeping cat covered in blood into the bathroom.
The stars didn't wake up.
An hour later, the big and the small curled up in the quilt in almost the same posture, heads touching, and both slept soundly.
