Chapter 163 The world is in ruins, the kitten mends and plucks.
Xiao Li arrived at the mall entrance based on the location provided by Lin Muyan.
He sent a message to Lin Muyan but received no response. The mall in front of him was eerily quiet, with a stench emanating from it. A vague sense of foreboding crept into Xiao Li's heart.
He quickly put on his mask, grabbed his submachine gun, and cautiously stepped into the mall.
At the same time, Lin Muyan had just formed a contract with the Devon mutated beast when she was horrified to find that the malnourished kitten had suddenly grown to the size of Lin Muyan, quickly breaking apart the small compartment and landing on all fours, becoming a giant Devon.
Even more exaggeratedly, its elegant and cute curly fur suddenly seemed to come alive, coalescing into strands that writhed and twisted around its body like snakes.
For a moment, Lin Muyan felt a chill run down her spine and couldn't help but swallow hard.
My adorable little kitten has turned into a bizarre cat demon. Does anyone in the family understand why?
If it weren't for the fact that the Devon mutated beast's ruby eyes remained clear and pure, and that it showed no bloodthirstiness, strangeness, or brutality when facing Lin Muyan, only affection, Lin Muyan would have turned and run away.
Meow~
Another soft meow rang out, like a feather gently tickling Lin Muyan's heart, instantly lessening the eeriness of her appearance.
Lin Muyan tentatively beckoned to it, and Devon indeed meowed and happily bent down to rub against her hand.
The soft, fluffy head gently rubbed against her palm, and Lin Muyan's heart melted.
Who cares if it's a cat demon or whatever, inside it's just an immature kitten.
The world is a mess, and the kitten mends it.
Even after the apocalypse, Lin Muyan is now living a life blessed with both cats and dogs.
Could its fur be its weapon? It looks kind of scary; I'm really afraid it'll suddenly wrap itself up in its fur and kill me.
Lin Muyan tentatively asked:
"Big guy, can you turn back into that little guy again?"
The Devonian mutant beast clearly understood, and after rubbing against Lin Muyan's palm, it nodded its head.
However, it did not shrink immediately; instead, its ruby-like eyes suddenly looked at the outer wall pillar.
The next second, Lin Muyan felt a whooshing sound in her ear, and then saw several strands of cat hair on Devon's body suddenly grow wildly and dart away.
With a loud bang, a wall pillar that would take four people to encircle was pierced by a few strands of cat hair.
The Devon mutated beast retracted its cat fur, meowed at Lin Muyan, then shook its fur and quickly shrank, becoming a small ball at Lin Muyan's feet.
Meow~
Lin Muyan stared wide-eyed at the reinforced concrete wall pillar, which had been so easily pierced, with even the steel bars inside broken. Then she looked at the small clump of something at her feet and understood what was happening.
It turns out that the little kitten was trying to show off its abilities to her, which is why it suddenly grew to a giant size.
Recalling the violent scene just now, Lin Muyan naturally dared not underestimate the kitten. She quickly bent down and hugged it in her arms, showing it great affection.
"I didn't expect you to be so amazing. By the way, are you male or female? Have you been spayed or neutered?"
Lin Muyan lifted one of the hind legs to examine it and saw two small, black bells that were quite dazzling.
"It turns out it's a male kitten. It's a bit of a pity that it can't breed with me and give me a litter of kittens."
A strange thought flashed through Lin Muyan's mind: Can mutated beasts reproduce?
If they can reproduce, will the offspring inherit the corresponding superpowers?
Little Devon understood, meowed twice, and turned his head to lick his little bell.
Lin Muyan grinned, completely enamored with the little kitten.
When shrunken, it looks like a regular German dog, elegant, doesn't shed much, easy to care for and pet.
After growing to its gigantic size, it can easily penetrate walls, making it extremely powerful in combat.
“I’ll give you a name. There’s an old colleague of yours who’s a big guy with the body of a leopard and the head of a bear, so we’ll call him Leopard. You can be called Wen. It’s simple and easy to remember. I’ll let you go and meet your senior.”
With that, Lin Muyan put Awen into the black space.
The kitten rolled around on the spot as soon as it entered the space, seemingly quite satisfied with its surroundings.
Ah Bao was fast asleep in the corner, and Ah Wen only glanced at him but ignored him.
The three dogs, however, seemed very scared and wary when they saw Awen. They growled at him and crouched down as if ready to fight at any moment.
Lin Muyan observed this and thought that ordinary animals should be able to sense the unusual energy fluctuations on the mutated beast.
So even such a cute little kitten is a monster in their eyes.
And that was indeed the case; the little pug was almost scared to death.
Awen was clearly not interested in them and wandered around on the grass in the black space.
Seeing that Awen hadn't gone to catch chickens and ducks or chase cattle and horses, Lin Muyan felt a little relieved and then began her sweep of pet food.
The mutant beast should be more interested in flesh and blood, but it's still a cat after all, so feeding it cat food shouldn't be a problem.
There were also many pet snacks on the shelves, such as goat milk, Gulu sauce, dried yogurt, etc., which Lin Muyan did not miss.
She hadn't planned to get a cat in the apocalypse, and had only prepared some dog food. She planned to prepare some more for Awen next time she saw a place with plenty of cat food.
After clearing the dog lane, Lin Muyan prepared to leave the mall and wait for Xiao Li to come and pick her up on the elevated road.
But after taking only a few steps, she heard several gunshots, and Lin Muyan's heart tightened instantly.
The sound seemed to be coming from underground. She didn't check the basement or the second floor, fearing that Xiao Li had already arrived, so Lin Muyan hurriedly ran downstairs.
Just as we reached the corner, several more gunshots rang out, along with a few animal roars.
Lin Muyan's expression changed immediately. Since Awen had appeared here, there was also the possibility that other mutated beasts might exist.
Most mutated animals lose their minds and become as bloodthirsty and ferocious as zombies.
Unlike zombies, mutated beasts possess additional special abilities, making them significantly more dangerous than zombies.
Lin Muyan quickened her pace and ran towards the source of the sound. As she saw several enraged mutant dogs appear in her field of vision, Xiao Li leaned against the wall and solemnly opened fire with his machine gun.
The five mutated dogs smelled the scent of other humans and simultaneously turned their heads to look at Lin Muyan.
In an instant, five pairs of bloodshot eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Compared to the heavily armed and imposing Xiao Li, they seemed to perceive Lin Muyan as weaker.
“Miss Lin, ordinary firearms don’t do much damage to them.”
Xiao Li, having gotten a chance to catch his breath, quickly told Lin Muyan about his discovery.
The mutated beasts were far more ferocious and difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
The stench of blood filled the air. Lin Muyan saw that the five mutated dogs were covered in gunshot wounds, with dark red blood gushing out. But they acted as if nothing was wrong, as if what they were bleeding was just sweat.
[Strictly speaking, mutated beasts are no longer ordinary carbon-based life forms. Their life support is no longer as simple as a heart and blood; they can survive even if they bleed out.]
[It's the same principle as zombies. Zombies' weakness is their brains, while the weaknesses of mutated beasts are not fixed, but many still have their heads as a weakness, and a few weaknesses are harder to find.]
Lin Muyan looked at the comments section, her gaze falling on the five mutated dogs that were approaching her.
Xiao Li is here; she doesn't intend to use a trap net.
Who cares about their weaknesses? As long as they're carbon-based life forms, we can just burn them.
