Because of Mu Qianqian's words, the room fell into an eerie silence.
At this moment, a scene that shocked everyone happened.
The little turtle, which was originally only the size of a palm, suddenly began to grow bigger.
The living room was filled with supplies, and there was not much space for people to move around. The grown cubs had already occupied part of the space, and the little turtle suddenly grew bigger and soon occupied the remaining space.
Seeing that the turtle was going to continue to grow and was about to squeeze out the supplies, the old Taoist priest quickly called for a stop.
"Little turtle, stop!"
The little turtle was quite obedient. After the old Taoist priest shouted this, it really stopped and looked at the old Taoist priest with its head tilted.
It looked like it was waiting for the old Taoist priest to praise it.
Nan Ci stared at the little turtle for a while, then turned to look at the old Taoist priest, "Is this the first time you saw it grow bigger?"
The old Taoist nodded, "Yes, I thought it just became faster and had a brain, but I didn't expect it to become so big."
Nan Ci touched his chin and said, "Looking at the way it looked just now, it should be able to continue to grow. I just don't know how big it can get."
"Will it be as big as the old turtle in Journey to the West? And can it carry us through the water unimpeded?"
When Mu Qianqian said this, her eyes began to light up.
This statement suddenly sounded a little unreliable.
But if you think about it carefully and look at the big turtle in front of you, it doesn't seem impossible.
If that were the case, why would they bother looking for a boat? Wouldn't it be better for them to just ride on a turtle?
But Nan Ci was just thinking about it and had no intention of actually putting it into action.
There are definitely not that many mutated animals nowadays, and if the differences of the turtle are exposed, it will easily attract the covetousness of others.
Besides, they already have a boat, so it would be better to use it.
When the extreme cold arrives, the entire water surface will freeze, and there will be no chance to use the boat.
Nan Ci was thinking about these things in his mind when he suddenly heard Mu Qianqian's sigh.
"If I had known this day would come, I would have kept a pet."
Hearing this, Nan Ci couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
There is no way you can know so much in advance.
However, Mu Qianqian was obviously just saying it casually, and soon continued, "I remember that there are many people in our building who keep pets, including cats and dogs, birds, fish, turtles, and I think there are also people who keep snakes. Nan Ci, the pets you and the Taoist priest keep have mutated, so have their pets also mutated?"
Speaking of this, Mu Qianqian didn't know what kind of scene she was imagining, and her face turned pale.
Nan Ci smiled and didn't get nervous because of this. "That would require those pets to survive until now to mutate."
Animals mutate not in a day or two, but over many days.
During these days, animals eat, drink and sleep.
Nan Ci and the old Taoist priest had no shortage of food and drink, and had never treated the cat and the turtle badly in terms of food and drink.
But the same cannot be said for other people in this building.
They don’t even have anything to eat, how can they take care of their pets at home?
Everyone below the 22nd floor has moved, some more than once.
These people move from place to place, but I never see them bringing their pets with them.
So where did their pets go?
Nan Ci didn't think about this question too deeply.
She is not a savior, she cannot save others, let alone other people’s pets.
All she can do is to protect herself and her four cats, and help like-minded people when she can.
For example, the old Taoist priest Mu Qianqian and Zhou Ziyang.
No matter how many people there are, Nan Ci can only say that he is powerless.
Although Nan Ci did not explain in detail, Mu Qianqian is already an adult and it’s not like she really doesn’t understand anything.
She could figure it out on her own without Nan Ci's excessive explanation.
Mu Qianqian's face turned pale for a moment, and her mood was depressed for a moment, but she didn't need anyone's comfort, she quickly adjusted herself.
"This damn rainstorm." Mu Qianqian cursed in a low voice, "When will it stop?"
No one answered and the room was filled with silence.
Zhou Ziyang and the old Taoist priest didn't know the answer.
Nan Ci didn't want to answer.
It doesn't matter whether you answer or not.
Even if I tell Mu Qianqian that the heavy rain will continue for another four months, what’s the point?
It just made Mu Qianqian more desperate.
It would be better to be like this now, knowing nothing, working hard to find supplies, arranging things to do for myself every day, and living hard, living one day at a time.
Mu Qianqian's personality is still very optimistic. Her low mood did not last too long and she quickly adjusted herself.
She stood up from the sofa, walked around the turtle, and stared at it with curiosity.
But soon, Mu Qianqian quietly came around to Zaizai.
From the expression on her face, it can be seen that she really wants a hug, but she doesn't dare to reach out, and can only look at Nan Ci for help.
Nan Ci smiled and stood up, walked to the side of the baby, stretched out his hand and rubbed the baby, "Baby, she wants to touch you, are you willing?"
Based on Zaizai's current IQ, he can understand what Nan Ci said.
The baby hesitated for a moment, looked at Mu Qianqian for a while, then slowly nodded and raised one of its front paws towards Mu Qianqian.
The huge cat paw is bigger than Mu Qianqian’s head.
Mu Qianqian opened her arms and hugged the cat's paws directly, rubbing her head on the cat's paws, and a smile gradually spread on her face.
I don't know when Zhou Ziyang and the old Taoist priest stood up and walked over. They raised their hands and touched Zizi, and Zizi did not refuse.
Just when the old Taoist priest wanted to continue petting the cat, the little turtle bumped his head.
From Nan Ci's perspective, he could clearly see that the little turtle didn't use much strength, but it still made the old Taoist stagger. This shows how strong the little turtle is after it grew bigger.
The old Taoist priest rubbed his lower back and looked at the little turtle in frustration, "You son of a bitch, why are you pushing me?"
The little turtle lowered its head and tilted its head towards the old Taoist priest.
This is to let the old Taoist touch it.
If the little turtle could talk, it would definitely ask now, why only touch the cub and not it, does it mean it doesn’t deserve to be petted because it has no hair?
"You son of a bitch, you are the same age as me, and you are already so old, but you are still competing for favors with a little cat. I don't know where all the food you have eaten in all these years has gone."
The old Taoist priest kept muttering to himself, but his hands were honest as he began to rub the little turtle's head.
"Hey! Son of a bitch, your head is so smooth and cool. It would definitely feel comfortable to touch in the summer, but now it's a bit freezing to my hands!"
His mouth was full of disgust, but his hands did not stop caressing.
This is what it means to say one thing and do another.
