Chapter 62 Xiao Qiao's mutation into extreme cold
182nd day of doomsday.
The temperature outside dropped to minus 85 degrees Celsius. Apart from the sound of the howling blizzard, there was no sign of any biological activity outside, and the whole place looked desolate and decayed.
It was as if the world had stopped.
During this period, Qiao Qiao stayed on the kang every day, eating and sleeping, enjoying various warm foods such as hot pot, barbecue, mutton soup, etc.
For a moment, there was a feeling of peace and tranquility.
This morning, the peaceful scene was broken.
"Meow!"
Xiao Qiao let out a heart-wrenching scream, and the three of them were instantly awakened from their sleep.
"Xiao Qiao!" Qiao Qiao was a little anxious.
The calico cat next to me, which was fine before I went to sleep, is now completely red, as if it had fallen into a dye pool, and I can even hear the "clicking" sound of its dislocated bones.
“Meow…”
Xiao Qiao opened her wet eyes. She was in so much pain that she couldn't scream anymore and could only whimper softly.
Qiao Qiao didn't know what was going on and didn't dare to touch it.
I could only take out the pet painkillers I had stockpiled and the small first aid kit I had drawn. I had no time to look for them, so I hurriedly poured out all the medicines in the first aid kit.
Holding a band-aid and a bandage, he asked, "Baby, where do you feel uncomfortable? Do you want to take medicine?"
I was so anxious that I choked subconsciously and tears kept falling.
"Meow..." Xiao Qiao shook his head with great effort. He couldn't tell what had happened to him, he just felt pain all over his body.
Qiao Man's tail was slapping on the ground in annoyance, and it didn't understand why its only playmate was injured.
Qiao Xinghe turned over and got dressed. "Don't cry. Didn't you say Zhao Gang was a veterinarian? Dad will go to the Special Administration Bureau and bring him back now."
"No need." Yueying suddenly appeared. "It's mutating."
Qiao Huizhou was stunned. "Mutation? That's not right. It wasn't like this when the cactus and lily of the valley mutated before."
Yueying explained, "The mutations of animals and plants are different. Xiao Qiao has been eating the exclusive food of mutant animals. The mutation progress will be much faster than normal. It is possible that she will evolve directly to the growth stage."
Qiao Qiao no longer cared whether it could evolve successfully or not, as long as it was safe, "Will there be any problems with it?"
"Don't worry, it will work out."
Yueying's words were like a shot of adrenaline, gradually calming the three people's hearts.
For the next day, Xiao Qiao struggled in agony on the kang, blood soaking the quilt, a heartbreaking sight.
Qiao Qiao stayed in the house to accompany it all the time. Even though there was no way to relieve its pain, he wanted it to open its eyes and see him at any time.
Qiao Huizhou came in with a bowl of hot preserved egg and lean meat porridge. "Qiao Qiao, eat something. You haven't eaten for a whole day. If you continue like this, your body won't be able to bear it."
Qiao Qiao's voice was hoarse and his spirit was weak. "Mom, I'm not hungry. You guys eat."
Seeing her daughter like this, she felt very distressed. "She has to eat something. It's not good to go without food or drink for a day. Yueying said Xiao Qiao will definitely succeed. Don't worry too much."
"I just feel bad." She was already doubting whether it was right to let Xiao Qiao mutate. She could afford to keep him as an ordinary kitten for his whole life.
Qiao Huizhou sighed when he saw this, "Ah..."
"Bang!"
The explosion interrupted Qiao Huizhou's words.
The two looked over and saw that the place where Xiao Qiao was lying was covered by blue light.
Qiao Qiao's eyes froze, "This is..."
Yueying appeared and took the porridge that she had almost dropped on the ground, and casually placed it on the small dining table.
"The mutation was successful."
"That's great." Qiao Qiao finally felt relieved. His body had gone limp due to long periods of extreme tension and not having eaten.
The next second, Yueying caught it.
She looked up at Yueying's azure blue eyes, which were exactly the same color as Xiao Qiao's eyes, and she could see her own weakness in them.
In just a few short days, His transformed body became more and more like a human. Except for the black skin, it was no longer recognizable as a shadow.
"Meow!"
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice interrupted her thoughts.
Before I could see what was happening, my eyes blurred and I was immersed in a sea of fur.
The long hair, which was softer and smoother than silk, kissed her cheek, and his mountain-like body pressed against her and rubbed against her continuously.
"Meow meow meow~"
Qiao Qiao struggled to climb out. The cute calico cat was gone. In front of him was a huge pure white cat that almost took up the entire room.
She didn't know whether she should still call it a cat, after all, its size was comparable to the tiger she had hunted before.
The body is still mainly white, with only the tips of the ears being black. The tail is golden all over, and it looks a bit radiant under the sunlight.
There is a diamond-shaped red mark between the eyebrows, which exudes a noble and elegant aura, making people want to surrender.
Xiao Qiao slowly lowered her head, her turquoise eyes were like a bottomless, freezing cold lake, but a closer look revealed an indescribable tenderness.
It approached Qiao Qiao gently, and the hot air from its nose blew on her face. It did not have the fishy smell of a wild beast, but instead had a faint woody scent.
Suddenly, it stretched out its huge tongue and gently licked Qiao Qiao's cheek. The tongue surface, which had been deliberately retracted with barbs, was slightly rough, and the warm touch brought Qiao Qiao back to his senses from his astonishment.
[Growth stage mutant animal: multi-tailed cat]
[Multi-tailed Cat: The predecessor of the Nine-tailed Cat, a legendary demon spirit. It increases the number of tails according to the level of completed tasks. If it grows nine tails, it can also evolve into a mature mutant animal Nine-tailed Cat.]
[Skill 1: Cat's Blessing
Absolutely healed if not in severe limb injury
(Note: It is not a cat-o-nine-tails after all, and is only used once a week)
Skill 2: Cat Shadowless Kick
The cat can throw ten punches per second, and the damage is multiplied by the number of punches, up to 10 times.
(D-level tasks do not add tails
Add a tail to the C-level mission (only once)
Add a tail to the B-level task (only three times)
A-level mission adds two tails
S-level mission adds three tails)
Qiao Qiao was overjoyed as she looked at the introduction on the system panel.
He walked up to Xiao Qiao and hugged her huge cat head, "Baby, you did it!"
It actually possesses both powerful attack skills and rare healing skills, and it went straight into the growth stage after mutation. It is worthy of being her pet.
Qiao Qiao raised her head proudly and smiled at her parents: "They say that pets take after their owners, and it's true."
"Meow~" Xiao Qiao stood beside her and nodded, like a tall knight, full of a sense of security.
Qiao Man had already wrapped herself around it and was rolling around playing.
Qiao Xinghe and Qiao Huizhou had been worried the whole time, so they stepped forward to touch her and said, "As long as she's safe."
Qiao Qiao then felt uncomfortable in her stomach and shouted, "Ah! I'm so hungry, I want to eat!"
"You!" Qiao Huizhou tapped her forehead with his finger, smiled and went out to prepare dinner.
183rd day of doomsday.
Qiao Qiao took out the task list he had accepted before, one for a D-level juvenile mutant plant, one for a C-level growing mutant animal, and one for a C-level growing mutant plant.
[Eliminate D-level juvenile mutant pine trees - 1 month]
[Eliminate the C-level mutant animal, the Biting Squirrel - 2 months]
[Eliminate the C-level growth stage mutant plant dodder - 2 months]
If you finish all of them, you can take a five-month break.
The weather is extremely cold now, and even mutated plants and animals will be affected. We can take this opportunity to complete more tasks, otherwise it will be troublesome for them to evolve after the extreme cold ends.
Although the D-level mission cannot allow Xiao Qiao to add a tail, after all, she has just successfully mutated, so it is just right to use it for training.
After the Doomsday Card Drawing System is launched, the mission rewards will be reduced. Now, destroying a mutant creature in its growth stage will reward you with an SSR-level card, but by then there will only be R-level cards.
Qiao Qiao put on her thermostatic suit, took her parents' bracelets, and prepared to go out.
Qiao Huizhou was still sleeping. Qiao Xinghe heard the voice and stood on the stairs to ask, "Are you going out again?"
Qiao Qiao nodded, "Okay, I'll go out for a while. Don't worry, Yueying, Manman and Xiao Qiao are here. I'm incredibly strong now."
"Be safe and come back soon."
Qiao Xinghe yawned, gave some halfhearted instructions, and went back into the room to hug his wife to sleep.
The specific location is written on the task list. The mutant pine trees and mutant squirrels are in the same area, both in the botanical garden.
Although dodder flowers are found alone on the streets of the main urban area, this kind of thing is highly hidden and dangerous, so consider it as a last resort.
The Northeast District Botanical Garden and Qiao Qiao's home are located in the north and south respectively, and you need to cross the entire city to get there. It usually takes two hours by subway.
If we ski there in a snowstorm, we might not get there until dark. I don't know how the Special Management Bureau got the mission information.
"Meow!" Xiao Qiao's snow-white body blended into the snow as soon as it went out. If you ignored the tips of its ears and tail, you could not find its trace at all.
"Xiao Qiao, can't you shrink like Manman?" Qiao Qiao didn't want to rush there by herself. With Yueying, she could get there in an hour, which was faster than the subway.
"Meow." Xiao Qiao shook his head.
Not to mention becoming smaller, it now feels like its body is full of strength but it can't vent it.
"It's okay." The moonlight appeared, directly covering Qiao Qiao, Xiao Qiao and Qiao Man in the shadow, and moved towards the botanical garden.
It was pitch black all around, without a trace of light.
Qiao Qiao took out the camping lantern and placed it on the ground. She had asked Yueying before, and she knew that the shadow space was extremely stable and would never collapse as long as it existed.
She will come here often in the future. It takes about an hour to reach the botanical garden. She plans to take this opportunity to redecorate the environment.
The self-inflating camping tent that I bought from Yang Yi’s store before, the N-level card brand plush carpet, single sofa, latex single mattress, adult sleeping bag, etc.
While Qiao Qiao was busy, Xiao Qiao and Qiao Man, who had returned to her original form, were playing nearby. I don't know how big the shadow space is, but it's enough for them to have fun.
“It’s finally over.”
50 minutes later, Qiao Qiao slumped down on the single sofa, and the scene before him was completely new.
In the center stands a spacious self-inflatable camping tent, and its light brown color adds a touch of brightness to the dark space.
Inside the tent, there is a plush carpet on the floor. It is worthy of being a system product. The 3×3 size is enough to cover the ground. It feels soft and comfortable to the touch, and you can sleep on it directly without a mattress.
On the carpet, there are two fully automatic inflatable mattresses, a double bed and a single bed. On the mattress is a brand new four-piece bedding set.
Outside the tent, some camping equipment are neatly arranged, including four folding tables, a barbecue grill, a picnic basket, a heating stove, a handmade log triangular table, etc.
At the edge of the tent, several exquisite camping lights are placed in an orderly manner, and the dim light illuminates the dark space.
Being in a warm and safe environment, with Xiao Qiao and Qiao Man by her side, Qiao Qiao was immersed in this quiet and warm atmosphere.
Suddenly, the shadow space shook slightly, breaking the beautiful atmosphere.
Qiao Qiao was fully equipped again, holding the fully charged □□, ready to go out at any time.
The battle is coming!
