Cat Man
Xia Chen was still unconscious at first, but the noise made by Xingxing was so loud that it woke her up immediately.
Click.
She turned on the light, rubbed her eyes, and tried to comfort the kitten: "What's wrong, Xingxing? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
"Meow!"
The kitten seemed more anxious and nervous than usual. It dodged her hand, looked around nervously and uneasily, and kept meowing.
“Meow!”
“Ahhh!”
“Meow!”
Each time, it sounded hurried and flustered.
Xia Chen became a little serious.
"What's wrong baby?"
She asked this question over and over again, but the kitten couldn't explain. It just ran to the door and scratched and banged on it, expressing its uneasiness with body language, trying its best to signal people to leave quickly.
Narrator:
"Danger comes one after another."
"Having just managed to survive the resurrected mysterious entity, he is now faced with another unprecedented crisis."
"This is a crisis that ordinary people are completely unaware of. They know nothing about it and are completely defenseless."
"Only superheroes can see this in advance."
"Now, the burden of saving the world falls on them once again."
The audience was puzzled.
[What's going on? Why is Xingxing so excited? ]
[Hiss, wait a minute, this cat's reaction looks so familiar, is it an earthquake? ]
【Ah? ? Is this true? ? Don’t scare me! 】
[Look, the hair on Xingxing's body is all blown up, and its ears are still moving. What is it listening to in such a quiet night? It is very likely the kind of sound waves that are difficult for human ears to hear! I think it is most likely an earthquake! ]
[Is this true? It's normal for small animals to get excited in the middle of the night, right? ]
[It is better to believe it than not to believe it! When your pet behaves abnormally, don’t think too much, just run away! ! ]
Hot knowledge: before an earthquake strikes, many animals can sense danger in advance.
Livestock were disturbed, cats and dogs were in a panic, toads and mice came out of their holes in droves...
Compared to humans, who only a very small number of people experience tinnitus before an earthquake, these animals' ability to sense earthquakes is like a superpower.
This contrast unexpectedly coincides with the danger that the narrator describes as something that ordinary people cannot perceive but only superheroes can realize.
Xia Chen's expression gradually became solemn.
Although she didn't know what exactly happened, she trusted her kitten enough.
"Baby, it's dangerous, right? You want to save your mother, right?"
The star called out loudly: "Meow!"
Xia Chen stared at the kitten for two seconds, then got out of bed without hesitation, without changing out of pajamas, and put on his windbreaker. He took his cell phone, keys, and ID card, and ran out with the kitten.
She lived on the second floor and came down quickly.
It was already late at night, and she was the only one on the street outside the building.
"call--"
Xia Chen felt a little cold due to the wind, so he buttoned up his windbreaker one by one.
The originally restless Xingxing calmed down after coming out, and even looked around, as if looking for an opportunity to run away.
If the cat were to have another owner, they would probably think that the cat was making a fuss at night just because it wanted to go out and play.
But Xia Chen had other ideas.
She squatted down and looked at the kitten seriously:
"Xingxing, did you sense danger and want to help others?"
“Woo…”
The soft hair on both sides of Xingxing's cheeks has begun to stand up slightly, and the static electricity that humans cannot perceive has made it explode into dandelions, making it look dull and soft.
Logically speaking, it is safest to stay with Xia Chen now, but the kitten still wants to run away.
Why was only mom coming out?
Cat Man was worried.
What about the others?
What about other cats and dogs?
"My hair is flaming..."
Looking at the kitten's soft fur standing up, Xia Chen murmured to himself, becoming more certain that the cat must have sensed something.
Suddenly, she heard some noise behind her, and when she turned around, she unexpectedly found that several neighbors had also come out with their pets.
When they found out that it was not just one person coming down the stairs, their hesitant steps gradually became firmer, and they ran to the open space where Xia Chen was staying without stopping, and started talking in twos and threes:
"Hey! Were you also woken up by the dog?"
"I didn't plan to come out, but I heard some noise in the corridor..."
"There are so many people here, it seems I am right to go downstairs!"
"Damn it, is this going to cause trouble?!"
What’s even more interesting is that a few dogs ran downstairs by themselves without their owners.
When the dogs saw the people huddled together in groups of two or three, they yawned awkwardly, then gathered together to one side, whimpering and talking about something.
The stars understood, they were saying -
So stupid! You're not going to run, right? I'll run!
I reminded myself several times, but I still got beaten, wuwu...
I guess Xiaomei next door can’t leave. I can hear her wailing through the door. Alas, it’s her fault that her house has a smart door lock.
Xingxing was anxious.
There's going to be an earthquake!
Why don't those people believe it?
Run!
In the building in front of me, only a few rooms were lit up, and most of the rooms were lit for a short time before going dark.
Obviously, that family either didn't have a pet or ruthlessly dismissed the alarm alert from their furry child.
What to do now?
At the same time, people nearby started a heated discussion:
"Hey, I checked. Is there going to be an earthquake?"
"Can there be an earthquake here? I've never heard of an earthquake!"
"But the cats and dogs react very strangely. Oh, and wasn't the crow acting strangely yesterday? It kept flying around the same place!"
"Oh my god, is it really an earthquake? What about the others?"
"What can we do? We don't know when it will happen. Who dares to go back and yell at every household?"
"Horn, who has a horn? Just shout it out, to give them a heads up!"
"Call and wake up as many people as you can."
Xia Chen looked at the rooms in the building where most of the lights were dimmed, and couldn't help feeling a little anxious.
There are still many people who haven't woken up yet...
Everyone is usually very friendly, but if this really is an earthquake, that would be terrible!
Moreover, even if they could alert the neighbors in this building, what about those in other blocks? What about those in individual houses?
Just then, she saw her kitten turn and walk away.
"Xingxing, stop running around..."
Xia Chen wanted to call the kitten, but the kitten just turned around and looked at her seriously and solemnly.
Somehow, she seemed to understand this look.
"Xingxing, have you figured out a solution?"
“Meow.”
Her heartbeat quickened slightly. At this moment, the safety of the entire town was at stake. Xia Chen was completely unable to order the kitten to stop as a master. She just reluctantly and seriously instructed:
"Okay... then remember to be safe."
Narrator:
"After transferring his adoptive mother to a safe area, he left without hesitation to save others."
"Already knowing his identity, no matter how worried she was, the adoptive mother still didn't stop him and let her child take risks outside."
"After all, he might save more people."
[It's the kind of plot where a superhero has no time to care about his family at the end of the world...]
[I don’t know why, but I feel it’s understandable to put it here, whether it’s the cat’s preference or the cat owner’s approval. ]
[After all, I have become Catman...]
[Ah, anyway, I hope everyone in this town is safe! Go Cat Man! ! ]
Half an hour before the earthquake, almost all the animals in the town launched emergency actions.
"Alright, alright, it's out!"
Su Qi finally came out after being coaxed by the puppy. She turned around and looked at the scattered pet owners nearby, a little confused: "Strange...what's going on?"
Looking again, his own puppy ran to the entrance of the building and helped other puppies urge their owner to go out.
"Rainbow Dash, what happened?"
Su Mo was woken up late at night and reluctantly picked up the cat and walked out of the small western-style building, yawning: "Has Xingxing not come to play with you recently? How come you are still so energetic at night?"
The white cat lay quietly in the human's arms, and would start slapping people as soon as they approached the building, locking its owner outside.
"Okay, grandpa will go with you."
The old man who was awakened by Maine was not angry. He carefully identified the big cat's subtle expression and suddenly understood: "Child, do you smell any danger again?"
Maine Coon led two or three stray cat brothers and called gently to the old man. After that, the brothers sensibly pushed slippers and crutches to make it easier for the old man to get out of bed and walk.
But that’s not enough.
These are only relatively narrow shelters. If we want to make the whole town aware of the danger, we may need more powerful help.
Da da.
After leaving Xia Chen, Xingxing went straight to a big tree.
“Meow!”
It raised its head and called, successfully attracting the crows that had not yet flown away.
The leading crow landed in front of the kitten, with worry in his eyes, and called out softly:
"Ga, ga, ga."
Kitty, go away! Don't stay under the tree.
"Meow!"
The cat knows!
Of course Xingxing knew that it was dangerous under the tree, so he risked his life to come here just to find the crows.
Just now, it finally came up with a solution.
I just hope the crows can help.
Originally, Xingxing naively thought that everyone would be like it and its mother.
As long as the cat tries hard to express itself, the mother will understand and run away with it without hesitation.
Therefore, Cat Man only needs to remind the very few people who don’t keep small animals.
But the rooms that lighted and dimmed, as well as the dogs' discussions, made Xingxing immediately give up the idea.
Of course it hopes to get extra help, but if there are so many people, how can it remind them all?
So, come up with a smart idea.
Xingxing racked his brains and finally thought of its crow companion.
Cats and puppies cannot speak human language, and their reminders cannot be understood by humans, but crows can learn to speak.
Moreover, crows can fly and make very loud noises, so people will definitely understand such reminders!
"Ga, ga, ga."
The leading crow just hoped that Xingxing could escape quickly and not worry about anything else.
“Meow…”
Please...
The kitten was very serious and persistent. Even though he was feeling uncomfortable due to the changes in the magnetic field and static electricity, he kept on begging.
Finally, the leader crow agreed.
There was no other way. If they didn't help, the kitten would have to go door to door to remind them at risk of their own lives. This was not the attitude a crow should have towards the cats in its community.
It's just a flight, no problem.
"quack--!"
The leading crow summoned the younger crows who were there within a minute. At the suggestion of Xingxing, they flew to where the crowd gathered before setting off.
"earthquake."
"Awake."
"Danger."
These three words, which had been repeated in people's discussions, were firmly memorized by them and then biologically broadcast over the air.
Ten minutes before the earthquake struck, the whole town was awakened by the sound of crows noisy in the sky.
Light up the bedrooms one by one:
"What's going on? Why is there such a big commotion tonight?"
"Wife, wake up! What are they shouting outside? Is there an earthquake?"
"Hurry up and get up! There's an earthquake outside! Remember to bring the cat with you!"
"Earthquake? Huh? So Maomao, were you reminding me just now? Ah!! Sorry, sorry, let's go quickly!"
Suddenly, almost everyone was running outside.
Only a few cat and dog cafe owners went against the current and quickly used their keys to open the doors with trembling hands.
"Meow!"
“Ahhh!”
“Meow!”
Before the door was fully opened, several furry heads impatiently poked out from the gap and scrambled to get out.
Cat (Dog) I——
I thought I was going to die.
You heartless person, you finally thought of us!
"Go, go, go, go quickly!"
The shop owners ran downstairs along with the cats and dogs and were out of the building just a second before the earthquake hit.
The earthquake really came.
The ground was shaking slightly, people felt the tremors, and some lost their balance.
"Holy shit! Is it really shocking?!"
"Everyone get down!"
"Keep your balance! Don't be afraid! It's already out!"
The people who had come out and were about to go home complaining after discovering that it was the crows that were cawing suddenly became as quiet as chickens, obediently following the instructions and lying on the ground, not daring to make a sound.
Damn, who understands.
The dog's life was saved by a crow.
“Meow…!”
"Don't be afraid, stars."
Before the earthquake came, Xia Chen noticed the abnormality of the crows in the town and the increasing number of people in the safe area.
Familiar operation, it seems that Xingxing is really doing his best to help.
As expected, she is her kitten!
What a great and kind kitten!
But while she was relieved, she couldn't help but worry about the kitten's safety.
Fortunately, before the earthquake came, his kitten ran back unharmed.
Seeing that the kitten was frightened by the shock and its fur stood on end, Xia Chen quickly held it in his arms, comforting and praising it softly:
"Great, great, the stars are so amazing."
"Everyone is down, that's great."
"Wow, that was a big noise. Fortunately I got out."
Xingxing nestled in the human's arms, breathing rapidly and licking his fur to comfort himself.
Whoosh——
It really scared the cat.
Narrator:
"Although the situation was urgent, the final result was good."
"With the help of his partners, he successfully transferred everyone to a safe area without any casualties."
[Okay, okay, it's okay, it's okay, my hands are shaking and sweating just now! ]
[Fortunately, this is a small town and the buildings are not very tall. Although there is a sense of shaking, there should be no collapse or anything like that.]
[Everyone is out now, nothing will happen.]
[Huh, this time we really saved the world, Furry has done a great job! ]
After a night of shock, the residents were frantically refreshing their messages.
By the time it was almost dawn, they had a general idea of the situation.
There was indeed an earthquake, but they were not at the epicenter.
The situation in the epicenter area is very serious, and there are also some casualties in nearby areas that were affected like them.
Or being hit by a loose chandelier while sleeping, or bumping into the legs of a cabinet when getting up in a panic, or having your arm scratched by a broken ceramic bowl...
In short, many people were injured directly or indirectly.
And they were all unharmed, at most someone caught a cold from the cold wind, they were extremely lucky.
When the residents learned about the situation in other towns, their eyes suddenly changed when they looked at their pets around them and the big black bird above their heads.
For the first time, people were realizing what their animal-friendly attitude was leading to.
If they hadn't been chased out by the small animals' various moves last night, even if they hadn't died, they would have probably suffered all kinds of bumps and bruises.
It’s so thrilling!
The owners who had beaten their cats and dogs for making a fuss last night suddenly felt guilty and hugged their furry children to apologize in a gentle voice:
"I'm sorry, baby. Mommy shouldn't have hit you. Mommy apologizes and will go back and open three cans for you, okay?"
"Oh my, don't look at me...how would I know that? I'm sorry!"
"Dear, dear, don't be angry!"
The dogs were fine, but the cats were mostly very angry.
After all, cats can't call out to people, nor can they pry open the doorknob and escape. Before the crows sounded the alarm throughout the city to wake up their owners, almost all domestic cats lay in front of the door, feeling hopeless and thinking that they were doomed.
However, having just been frightened by the earthquake and comforted by their owners in a gentle voice, most of them gradually calmed down and licked the people mercifully to show their understanding.
However, in the harmonious atmosphere, several angry voices suddenly rang out:
"Fuck! You dead dog came down by yourself last night??"
"Ah, Huanbao, you didn't call me?! Look at the other dogs!!"
"You're still laughing! How dare you laugh! How shameless!"
Huh? What's going on?
Oh~ There are actually still some pet owners who have never been called that by their own furry children…
Ahem, all I can say is, wish these furry creatures good luck.
"puff……"
Xia Chen, who was watching from the side, found it really funny, but was also proud of his trust in the kitten.
Not only did she believe the star's warning immediately, she also let the kitten run around and save the world.
Xia Chen bent down and kissed the little cat, feeling very happy.
“Gah—”
At this time, a crow slowly landed beside her, first greeted Xia Chen politely, and then kept glancing at the little head in her arms.
Xia Chen understood and pushed the little guy in his arms: "Xingxing, your crow friend is here to see you."
"Woo... meow?"
The kitten, who was originally clingy and coquettish with his mother, suddenly became serious and immediately pulled himself out of the human's arms. He looked at the leader crow and meowed excitedly:
Thank you!
The crows are so awesome!
Is everyone okay?
"Gah." It's okay.
The leading crow accepted the kitten's praise and admiration with dignity, its long tail feathers trembling. Just as it was about to say something else, it was interrupted by a dog's bark.
“Woof woof!”
When Ah Huang saw his friend, he quickly ran over and licked the kitten's cheek enthusiastically to express his concern:
"Woof~"
Xingxing, are you okay?
There was an earthquake last night! So scary!
"Meow meow!" It's okay!
Xingxing raised his tail and said proudly: Last night, Cat and Crow worked together to save other people in the town!
Ah Huang was very excited, and he also stuck out his hairy little chest and called out:
“Woof woof woof!”
The puppy also helped many people escape quickly!
The stars are very happy.
Wow!
It turns out everyone is working hard!
Yeah, it’s my friends after all!
"Rainbow Dash, slow down."
At this time, Su Mo with Yunbao also came here.
Seeing familiar friends, Rainbow Dash turned and walked over here, greeting and getting close to them.
Xia Chen thought that three furry friends were the limit for Xing, but the next second, a big Maine Coon came over not far away.
It looks expensive.
“Meow!”
Originally, she just wanted to enjoy the sight, but she didn't expect that her own kitten suddenly meowed excitedly, and then the big Maine Coon walked towards them.
Hiss...no?
Xingxing’s circle of friends is too wide.
Xia Chen complained silently in her heart, but she didn't expect that the next second, it would be her turn to be spoken to.
"Is this your kitten?"
Maine's owner approached and asked in a friendly manner.
When Su Mo saw the old woman's face clearly, he took a breath and whispered a warning to her.
This old man is a well-known wealthy man in the local area.
Not only do they have too much money to spend, but they also ask their cats to help them spend it.
His Maine might be richer than many people in town.
"Rich man? Cat?"
Connecting these key words, looking at the intimate interaction between his own kitten and the Maine Coon, and recalling the red things of unknown origin in the cat's nest, Xia Chen gradually understood everything.
So, the rich woman who keeps a celebrity is actually a cat? ?
Universe sublimation cat head.jpg
Upon inquiry, we learned that Maine Coon does have its own piggy bank. When the elderly person is unhappy, it will take the money to the gift shop and buy gifts for the elderly person.
"Um..." Xia Chen hesitated, feeling a little embarrassed, "It seems that my cat accidentally took some..."
The old man frowned at first, then smiled: "Haha, it's okay, it must be Dahui who gave it to me on his own initiative."
He looked at the big cat who was rubbing and licking the little cat, and said gently: "If Big Gray doesn't like it, even my grandson can't take the money."
Xia Chen blushed: "Or I should return it..."
"Goodbye, goodbye." The old man's deep eyes swept over the crow standing beside him, and then he thought of everything he saw last night. He understood something and couldn't help but sigh in amazement, "It also played a role last night, right? Such a powerful cat is rare."
Seeing Xia Chen still hesitating, he smiled:
"Or, you can use the money to give them a meal as a token of thanks from the residents of the town."
"We are all lucky to live with such spiritual children."
"So, of course we have to thank them."
"Wow! The glass is all broken. Luckily I ran away last night."
"Ahh, this one actually fell too. I'm so scared. I was planning to hide here!"
"Fortunately, I was reminded early enough and I still had time to run out."
On the way back, looking at the residents around him who were exclaiming in joy, Xia Chen felt more and more relieved. He thought his own cat was so amazing that he couldn't help but kiss it a few more times.
"Xingxing, do you know what you have done?"
"You're the little hero here! Awesome!"
"I'll give you a snack when we get back! I can buy you whatever cans you want, baby!"
Although cats cannot understand overly complicated words, they can still feel the love and affection expressed in human kisses.
“Woo…”
Xingxing pressed her ears and snuggled into Xia Chen's arms, feeling a little shy for some reason.
No, stop talking, meow.
The identity of Catman must not be revealed!
After that, Xingxing remains the curious and kind cat-man.
It has its own little friends, and is always as enthusiastic and lively as a little sun, and has experienced countless adventures.
The other small animals in the town are also protecting this place in their own way.
Cats are the heroes of the night who protect the town, dogs are the spiritual companions who warm the town, and after several investigations, the crow finally teamed up with the authorities and became a handsome police bird recognized even by humans.
When the three parties join forces, no one can defeat them.
Everything is moving in the right direction.
Humans have given the stray animals here an extremely tolerant home, and the animals will naturally protect humans in their own way.
This is probably what a superhero is.
Love the land that gave birth to their flesh and blood, love the people who nourish their souls.
So they all chose the same approach.
Not for fame or profit, just to protect.
It's over. It's over.
I was thinking that since Xingxing got a collar with a camera, maybe I could write something about the reactions to the recorded video... but I can't seem to find a place to put it, so if I'm going to write about it, it'll probably be a side story.
The next world will be a tiger
By the way, the support rate of Penguin is quite low... I may not write about it if the number of likes is too low (scratching my head)
