Chapter 181 Will there be bad guys breaking in?
After dinner, Tan Zhaozhao didn't go anywhere else. He just took out an air-conditioned quilt, lay down on the sofa, and took a nap next to the stars.
But maybe he was not feeling well, as he was caught in the rain and soaked in water in the morning. Even though he drank ginger and sugar water and took a bath in time after returning, Tan Zhaozhao still felt dizzy and uncomfortable when he woke up.
Xingxing discovered that she was sick earlier than her mother.
So when Tan Zhaozhao woke up, there was no orange kitten sleeping next to her head, but a pile of medicine boxes piled messily on the carpet at her feet.
Tan Zhaozhao reached out and picked it up to look at it in a daze.
999 Cold Relief.
Ibuprofen extended-release capsules.
Compound acetaminophen capsules.
There's even a bottle of syrup...
Tan Zhaozhao's head was aching from the burning sensation, but he couldn't help laughing when he saw the medicines.
She put down the syrup and looked at the kitten who was looking at her with concern. She smiled and felt a little sad.
Tan Zhaozhao picked up the kitten and held it in his arms. He curled up on the sofa with the air-conditioning quilt in his arms, feeling uncomfortable. His nose was blocked so he could only ask in a muffled voice, "Did Xingxing find so many medicines because she knew that Mom had a cold?"
She poked the kitten's head with her finger and said sullenly, "If you were a kid, would you pour hot water for your mother and put it on the table?"
Xingxing didn't expect that after her mother woke up and saw the medicine, she didn't drink it quickly, but instead hugged her and talked in a daze.
It was a little anxious, so it could only straighten up its little body and use its head and ears to nudge its mother's hot cheeks.
Tan Zhaozhao's throat was hoarse, and after two uncomfortable dry coughs, something suddenly occurred to his feverish mind. He subconsciously picked up the air-conditioning blanket and wrapped the kitten next to him up completely to cover it.
Suddenly, there were dark stars in front of my eyes: "...Ah?"
I couldn't see anything in the dark, I could only hear an even more vague voice outside the quilt saying slowly and angrily: "Baby, Mommy has a cold, you can't get close to me, otherwise it will be transmitted to you and things will get really bad."
Xingxing struggled a bit.
Immediately afterwards, its body was lifted into the air along with the air conditioner, and then as the human stood up and walked, it was finally placed in the soft cat bed.
"Be good and play here. Don't come close to your mother. You know how uncomfortable it is to have a cold?" Tan Zhaozhao pressed the kitten through the quilt, but after thinking about it, she still felt it was not safe. She went to get hot water to take medicine while taking out a mask and putting it on herself.
Xingxing squatted in the cat's nest and watched her mother pick up her phone after drinking the medicine, but she was still chatting with Li Shan and said she was going to get supplies in the afternoon.
Xingxing pressed the cat bed hard with her paws.
Qiuqiu flew over to comfort it, "Don't worry, cub. Although the human has a little fever, he will get better soon after taking medicine. She knows that if we don't go to get supplies now, the rain will get heavier and the water will get deeper, making it more difficult to get supplies."
The martial arts hall has a closed basement where all the supplies are stored. If we don't take them out now before the water floods in, it will become very troublesome to take them out later. The water may backflow and destroy all the supplies.
-
This time out, Xingxing was forced to stay at home.
Because Tan Zhaozhao had a serious cold, she was worried that Xingxing would also catch a cold if she was caught in the rain again.
When people catch a cold, they can take cold medicine or rely on their own immunity to get through it, but when a kitten catches a cold, it can become very troublesome.
Tan Zhaozhao didn't dare to take that risk.
She even closed the door and was glad with Li Shan in the corridor that it was she who caught a cold instead of Xingxing.
After the footsteps outside the corridor disappeared completely, Xingxing squatted in front of her small bowl. In the bowl was the small fish that the human had kept his promise and boiled in water for her to eat.
The kitten stared at the fish in the bowl in a daze and didn't take a bite for a long time.
I don’t know why, but Qiuqiu could sense the loneliness of the left-behind kid from Xingxing’s small and round figure.
"...Baby, how about we watch Tom and Jerry cartoons?" It flew over, trying to make Star Kitten stop worrying about the humans who were out.
Xingxing looked up at it, and after a few seconds, he asked softly, "Will there be any bad guys breaking in?"
In the original plot, the kitten lost its mother when it was left at home, and then was kidnapped by bad guys and lost its life.
Qiuqiu shook his body and said, "No, there are not many people in this building and this entire community. No one will break in."
Before he could finish his words, the kitten's ears trembled, as if it heard some special noise.
The kitten walked away from its bowl, its paws pressed against the carpet without making any sound.
It walked to the door and listened through the crack in the door to the faint noise coming from outside.
The noise was a little far away, and was masked by the sound of wind and rain outside the window. By the time it reached its ears, it could no longer hear anything.
It sounded like someone was walking and talking, and occasionally there were violent crashes or other noises.
Xingxing scratched the carpet a little anxiously.
Qiuqiu also caught this strange noise and said to Xingxing, "Don't be afraid, kid. I'll go out and see what it is."
It did not dare to completely leave the stars, so it went from floor to floor. Only after eliminating the danger of getting close to the stars could it search down with a little peace of mind.
A few minutes later, the ball of light flew back eagerly but silently.
The little orange cat squatting by the door stretched out its paw to touch it and asked, "What's that sound?"
Qiuqiu was speechless for a long while before he said angrily, "Someone is picking the lock and breaking the door, breaking into someone else's house!"
Xingxing was stunned.
Soon he curled up again and continued to lie by the door.
"I don't know if those people will come up. Luckily, your mother locked the doors to the corridor and fire escape when she left, but what if we can't stop that family? Xingxing, why don't you hide first? You won't have to be afraid when your mother and the others come back."
The more Qiuqiu spoke, the more anxious he became.
The tip of Xingxing's ears twitched, and after listening to the unclear voice, she replied, "I'm not afraid, and Qiuqiu shouldn't be afraid either."
It’s impossible for Qiuqiu not to be afraid.
It was afraid that Xingxing would follow in the footsteps of the original kitten.
It wished it could fly out right now to find Tan Zhaozhao and ask her to come back quickly.
But what we should do most now is not these, but to let the stars hide first.
But where is it hidden?
The house was very clean, and items were arranged neatly and in order. There were places to hide, but the stars couldn't climb up there.
It even has difficulty climbing onto the sofa.
Qiuqiu was also in trouble for a moment.
Instead, Xingxing shook his head at it and said soothingly, "Don't be afraid. If bad guys break in, just hide in the space."
Qiuqiu suddenly felt at ease.
Yes, there is also space. After going through so many mission worlds, Xingxing basically doesn’t need any superpowers or space. Qiuqiu almost forgets that the space is not a warehouse and can be entered and exited freely.
"I want to go out." Xingxing stretched out his paw and knocked on the door, and said to the stunned Qiuqiu: "Qiuqiu, can you open the door for me?"
Can't! !
Qiuqiu flew far away without hesitation, protesting loudly, "No! Xingxing, you are so small. If you are caught by the bad guys, you won't even be enough to fill their teeth!!"
The kitten still kept its paw on the door, and explained seriously: "But mom is outside. If she comes back alone, it will be very dangerous if she encounters bad guys."
Qiuqiu: “…”
It became even more anxious, flying back and forth in the house, trying to say that humans didn't need a kitten to worry about them, and that humans weren't so unlucky to run into them by chance. But when these words came to its lips, it was swallowed up bit by bit in the face of Xingxing's worried gaze.
"But what can you do?" Qiuqiu fell to the ground powerlessly and struggled, "You are just a kitten now. You have to roll down even when you go down the stairs..."
Star:"……"
The kitten doesn't listen to bad words.
"Mom is sick. When she is sick and encounters bad people, she will become slow and easily get hurt and can't avoid it."
Xingxing said this sullenly and didn’t let Qiuqiu help.
He ran to the window, grabbed the curtain and tried to climb up. Then he squatted on the narrow platform inside, put his head against the window, and stared at the turbid water below through the winding rain.
It's waiting for the bad guys to leave.
Also waiting for mom to come back.
Qiuqiu also came over and coaxed the baby in a soft voice: "Xingxing, don't worry, your mother is with the official team. They are all very powerful, and Li Shan is also very powerful. With so many people, they will definitely be able to protect your mother from getting hurt."
Qiuqiu felt that he should calculate the time and follow some metaphysics when speaking today, otherwise why would he always speak at inappropriate times.
Just like now.
As soon as it finished speaking, it saw Tan Zhaozhao and another person paddling a small kayak carrying supplies back to the community in the rain downstairs.
Qiuqiu: “…”
The stars were also seen.
It suddenly stood up from the platform and supported itself on the window.
Watching his mother's kayak swimming towards him from outside the community, Xingxing turned around, grabbed the curtain and threw himself to the ground. Not caring about the pain, he turned over and ran towards the door on his four short legs.
"Qiuqiu, open the door." Its tone was no longer asking.
It's an order.
Qiuqiu tried to maintain a stalemate.
But Xingxing no longer needs its help. Perhaps when encountering dangerous emergencies, the kitten that used to like to daydream will become particularly smart.
The star flashed directly into the space, and when it came out, it had already landed on the door handle.
Unfortunately, its small weight is not enough to push down the door handle.
But there are still many things in its space that can continuously accumulate power. When the ball rushed over, the kitten returned to the space with those things, and the door was successfully opened.
Stars appeared, and their tiny bodies squeezed out through the crack in the door.
But outside this door, there are two more doors.
The stars were stopped.
The kitten squatted in front of the tall door, and its tiny figure was filled with helplessness.
"Qiuqiu, I want to go out." Xingxing turned his head and looked at the ball of light chasing after him.
"If you go out, humans will not only know that you can understand human language, but also know your more special abilities! What if you are exposed..." Qiuqiu was angry and helpless.
It tried to comfort the worried kitten: "Baby, it's only the beginning of the apocalypse. There are only two people prying the door downstairs. Li Shan knows martial arts, and your mother has weapons. Those two people will probably not conflict with your mother and the others. Even if they do, they may not win. She is not particularly dangerous, really!"
Xingxing was not so impulsive as to lose her mind.
It can understand Qiuqiu's long string of words.
I also know that Qiuqiu is right.
But mom is sick.
My mother doesn't know martial arts either.
The bad guys are male.
The bad guys have weapons to pry open doors and break windows.
If a fight breaks out, mom will definitely suffer.
A cat and a ball were stuck at the door.
Seeing Xingxing becoming more and more anxious, his pupils shrank and his claws unconsciously pulling at the door, Qiuqiu finally compromised with a heartache.
"Boy, I'll go help."
It lowered its voice and coaxed, "Go home first, I'll close the door for you. Don't expose yourself. I'll go down to help them. If a fight really breaks out, I will definitely not let the bad guys hurt your mother!"
The General Administration once stipulated that the system cannot actively cause substantial attacks on humans and other living individuals, but Qiuqiu had already violated the regulations. Rather than exposing more of Xingxing's special features to Li Shan, a human being, Qiuqiu would rather bear the punishment for the violation himself.
But before it could fly, it was held down by a small claw.
"Can't."
Xingxing held the ball and stood behind the door in a daze for several seconds. Then he locked the ball of light into the space and followed in.
"Qiuqiu, no more fouls."
The kitten's tail lowered a little bit, and its clear light green eyes gradually dimmed.
Stars don't like to make choices.
So we can’t sacrifice Qiuqiu, but we can’t ignore Mom either.
Then just expose yourself and give the choice back to your mother and another human being.
It seemed to have made up its mind. After locking the rebellious ball in the refrigerator, it left the space.
The bug stuck in the space appeared in the dark and damp corridor.
