Chapter 163 Non-standard cat talk
Tan Zhaozhao's life is extremely brief in the novel, so ordinary that it can only become a sigh for the protagonist when he thinks of it after dinner.
The end of the world is approaching and natural disasters are happening frequently. When the government is no longer able to support the city, Tan Zhaozhao has to go out to find food. But she is a woman, and even if she finds food in the chaos, it is difficult for her to bring it home. Instead, she may encounter many dangers.
So Tan Zhaozhao disappeared on an ordinary morning during a natural disaster.
She never came back, leaving behind only a cat that kept meowing in the house. Finally, the kitten was taken away by people who broke into the house. In the extremely hungry and chaotic environment, the kitten's fate was obvious.
But after watching the story of Tan Zhaozhao, Qiuqiu only saw two blood-red labels from the protagonist's lament about the difficulty of surviving the doomsday between the lines: the culprit and being high and mighty.
"Because this is a doomsday disaster survival hoarding novel, the protagonist is reborn with a space cheat. With her memories, she starts hoarding like crazy, becomes a hoarding rat, renovates her room in advance to build a safe house, and abuses the scum and slaps the face of her enemies in her previous life..."
Qiuqiu glanced at the expressionless furry face of the little cat, softened her tone, and explained carefully to the little boy: "But the most important thing is that the protagonist used the golden finger to stockpile food and survival supplies on a large scale. She was in a hurry, so she plundered all the supplies that could be plundered around her home. Later, she even bought them on a large scale for free. Taking advantage of the chaos in the world, she bought all the supplies that could be used and could not be used for free, under the euphemism of being prepared."
"This also led to the fact that when the natural disaster broke out later, it became extremely difficult for people here to go out and search for supplies to survive. This area was the first to fall into chaos. In order to survive, the survivors here were more cruel and crazy than those in other places."
"The protagonist has a golden finger, and the house has been specially reinforced many times. Later, he met his teammates and his sweetheart, and his strength was guaranteed. Even Tan Zhaozhao's house was given to her friends to live in because of Tan Zhaozhao's death. They completely occupied this floor and lived well in the doomsday. They completely achieved the protagonist's ideal of hoarding goods at the beginning, and then living well, eating, drinking, having fun and watching the suffering of the world in the doomsday."
"Kid, do you understand?" Qiuqiu was a little worried about Xingxing's current brain capacity.
The tiny star cat twitched its ears and was picked up by the human and held in his arms. While listening to Qiuqiu's introduction to the plot and the steady heartbeat coming from the human's chest, its round brown cat eyes blinked gently.
"I understand." Xingxing answered seriously in his heart: "Humanity was reborn, one lived, and a lot of people died."
Qiuqiu: “…”
Good, very insightful!
It nodded its body and whispered in agreement: "Yeah, that's right, but the cat's wish has nothing to do with the protagonist. It's just a kitten and it doesn't know what the protagonist is."
"The kitten Xingxing's wish is to grow up quickly, and then go out to help her mother hunt and bring her back home, so that her mother won't get lost when she goes out hunting."
The plot depicts the scene of the kitten waiting after losing its owner and being discovered and caught in a particularly vivid and cruel way.
But for the kitten, it didn’t know why it ended up like that, and until its death it wanted to find its lost mother.
Kittens can't leave their mothers.
If the kitten leaves its mother, it will be caught by bad guys.
Mom had said this, and the kitten had always remembered it well. Mom didn't lie to it, but why couldn't Mom find her own home?
The little consciousness remaining in the body seemed a little uneasy, and Xingxing's furry body trembled slightly, which immediately made the human holding it worried and held it in front of his eyes.
"What's wrong with Mimi? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Tan Zhaozhao asked, frowning and reaching out to rub the kitten's round belly worriedly.
She was worried that she might have drunk too much goat milk and couldn't digest it.
The kitten couldn't talk, so Tan Zhaozhao could only comfort it based on her own guesses. If that didn't work, she would immediately get dressed, take the kitten out, go downstairs and take a taxi to the pet hospital.
"Ah~" The kitten whose belly was being rubbed lay in her warm palm, squinting its eyes comfortably.
Tan Zhaozhao couldn't help but laugh, and breathed a sigh of relief. She gently lowered her head and rubbed the kitten's furry head, "I'm glad you're okay. Do you like mommy rubbing your belly? Then mommy will rub our Xingxing for another minute. After one minute, mommy will go out to buy groceries. Can you stay at home and help mommy look after the house?"
Tan Zhaozhao always has a lot to say to her kitten.
But in real life, she is actually a somewhat quiet girl. At least in front of others, she seldom speaks to express her thoughts.
Xingxing did not answer her mumbling "discussion".
Tan Zhaozhao really rubbed the kitten's belly for a full minute.
Before it knew it, Xingxing's four little paws were hugging the human's warm right hand, and even the tip of its short tail was sweeping upwards over the human's fingers.
It's really enjoyable.
Tan Zhaozhao was so adorable with her kitten that she smiled like an auntie, but after a minute, she carefully let go of the kitten she was enjoying.
"Okay, time is up, Mom has to go out!"
As he spoke, Tan Zhaozhao stood up and put the kitten into the soft, oversized cat bed, then went into the house to change into clothes for going out.
When she changed her clothes and came out, the kitten was no longer in the cat bed.
It's at the door.
A round, furry little ball squatted there. Its light orange fur was not particularly dense yet. At first glance, it looked like a small orange furry ball.
Tan Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, then walked over and squatted down in surprise, gently poking the little furry ball's head with his finger. Facing its bright eyes that were staring at him with its little head tilted up, he couldn't help but laugh, "Baby, why don't you stay in the nest and play? Do you want to go out to buy groceries with your mother?"
She was just talking to herself.
But a soft and milky "Ah~" made her stunned for a moment out of surprise.
Seeing that the human was still in a daze, Xingxing thought for a moment, and fearing that she might not understand her cat language, she tilted her little head back and tried hard to make an "Ah~" sound.
Not standard cat language at all.
If other kittens heard this, they would definitely kick it out of the cat group on the spot.
But it doesn’t matter, humans can’t understand cat language anyway, so cats can talk nonsense!
The stars squatted at the feet of humans with confidence, and raised their heads hard in the hope that humans could understand what they meant.
Humans are very smart. Even though they didn’t understand, she could get the idea!
"Baby, Xingxing baby, do you want to go out with your mother? If so, why don't you cry out again? If not, just walk away from the door and back to the cat's bed, okay?" Tan Zhaozhao's tone was so soft that water could drip down, but the options she gave revealed her sinister intentions.
Is it easier for a kitten to just cry out "meow" or to stagger from the door back to its nest?
Xingxing stretched out his claws and gently pulled at the human's trouser leg.
"Ah~" It's very considerate.
The next second, it was held up by the human on its belly and lifted into the air. The abrupt experience, like riding a roller coaster, made Xingxing flap its paws involuntarily, and soon it heard the human's surprised exclamation.
"Wow! Baby, you are so smart. Can you really understand what I say? Our Xingxing is such a smart kitten. All the cats in the world put together are not as smart as you!"
After some crazy praise that even cats were afraid to listen to, Xingxing was stuffed into the small cloth bag that humans used to buy vegetables, and then happily held in the arms of humans.
Close the door, walk out, and get into the elevator——
etc! ?
Tan Zhaozhao paused as she entered the elevator and turned to look next door to her house in surprise.
Why... is there someone making noises in the hallway? What is he doing?
Tan Zhaozhao was a little curious, but she was not the type to take the initiative to talk to strangers. The most important thing was that she would not talk to strange men, even if they were just staff who came to install something.
Tan Zhaozhao retracted her gaze, hugged the kitten in the cloth bag tightly, pursed her lips and walked into the elevator without looking around.
When the elevator started running and there was no one else in it, she slowly relaxed, shook the kitten in the cloth bag, and asked herself: "What are they doing? It looks like they are installing railings? Or iron doors? I don't understand, does the property management know? Isn't that a public area? How strange..."
The stars listened to the human's confused mumblings and tapped the human's wrist with their paws as if to soothe him.
The stars liked this human.
Even if Xingxing was not a kitten, if it met this human at the end of the world, it would like her very much.
Because she is more like a mother than Xingxing had ever imagined.
So from the moment it entered this world and was lifted up by this human's hands until now, Xingxing has never resisted her approach.
Humans say that mothers should be gentle, but what the stars see is not human gentleness, but her eyes that are full of herself.
There were lots of smiles and intimacy.
Her eyes are like the brightest stars.

Tan Zhaozhao came to the vegetable market and found that many stalls had closed early today.
She was a little confused, so she went to the stall where she bought most often and asked the owner who was closing up the stall: "Aunt, why are you guys here so early today? I see that many stalls have closed up..."
When the boss heard her ask this, he couldn't help but look beaming with joy, "Yes, a big customer came today. I heard that the girl was celebrating her successful breakup, so she wanted to set up several tables and invite all her relatives and friends to celebrate. So, she basically bought up almost all of our meat dishes."
After saying that, she realized that Tan Zhaozhao probably didn't buy anything, so she enthusiastically said, "Daughter, what do you want to buy? Just tell your aunt. I know this area very well. I'll go ask if there's anything left for you."
Tan Zhaozhao was a little confused.
To be precise, I was shocked by the reason given by the so-called big customer.
Celebrating a successful breakup, so having a big banquet?
A little outrageous, but also very reasonable.
She even got a little excited after hearing what she heard. This sister was so awesome. If she met her, she would definitely give her a red envelope as a gift!
"Hey, is this a cat?" The boss didn't wait for her answer. He first saw the little orange cat trying hard to push its head out of the bag to get some fresh air. He couldn't help but move closer, and his voice softened by eight degrees. "Oh~ This kitten doesn't look like it's even a month old. It's so small, but it's not afraid of strangers when brought out. It's very well behaved!"
When his cub was praised for being well behaved, Tan Zhaozhao unconsciously put on his boss's cheerful smile, holding the star cat and nodding vigorously, "Yes, it's still a few days before it's full-month old. It's very well behaved. Whenever I go out, it follows me and doesn't bark or run around. It's very well behaved."
The two of them stood in front of the stall and chatted for a full five minutes about "raising cats". Tan Zhaozhao is not a talkative person at all, but when he meets a "confidant", he can also hold his precious Xingxing and become a talkative cat owner who shows off his cat.
They were chatting so enthusiastically that Xingxing watched more and more stalls in the vegetable market close up, and finally she couldn't help but let out a cry as a reminder.
Stop chatting and go buy some groceries!
The stars don't want humans to starve before the natural disaster comes.
Tan Zhaozhao finally woke up and quickly told the boss what he wanted to buy.
"I want to buy some pork and chicken breast, and some vegetables, potatoes, cucumbers and so on."
After thinking for a moment, she added, "The more the better. I'll take it back and store it in the refrigerator."
She thought of the two workers in the corridor outside the house and decided that after returning home today, if possible, she would not go out for the next two days.
As a person with social phobia who has to listen to the noise outside the house before throwing away garbage, Tan Zhaozhao really tries to avoid crowds and protect himself.
