After being picked up, Summer Cat found that he had indeed grown a lot bigger.

In the past, he could curl up in Kong Zhi's arms, but now he could easily put his head on Kong Zhi's shoulders.

Kong Zhi and Summer Cat looked at each other, smiled and carried him to the bathroom.

The figures of the man and the cat were clearly reflected in the mirror.

Summer Cat raised his head, and the majestic forest cat in the mirror also raised its head, looking at him with its emerald eyes, inexplicably more majestic. Summer

Cat couldn't help but stretch his neck and leaned his head to look at the cat in the mirror.

The forest cat in the mirror also stretched its neck and looked at him, as big as a little tiger.

"Meow." He knew how old he was now.

Xia Maomao retracted his head and raised his little head to look at Kong Zhi.

Kong Zhi looked at him, bent his head and kissed him on the forehead.

Xia Maomao's hair on his forehead fell down due to the kiss, and his eyes were full of confusion.

Kong Zhi smiled, rubbed his soft and furry belly, and kissed him again.

"Meow." Xia Maomao patted Kong Zhi's face with his fleshy paws, signaling Kong Zhi to put him down.

Kong Zhi took the opportunity to pinch his elastic paw pads, and before he could protest further, he picked up Xia Maomao and took a deep breath on his soft and furry belly.

"Meow!" Xia Maomao's belly was itchy from the warm breath, and he reached out to hug his head and protested.

Kong Zhi took another sip and rubbed Xia Mao Mao's belly with his face.

"What are you doing?" Xia Huoqu's voice came from outside the door.

Kong Zhi raised his head calmly and nodded to Xia Huoqu.

Xia Huoqu poked his head in and saw Xia Mao Mao, and said, "Has the little Nong beast form grown bigger again?"

Xia Mao Mao saw his brother and stretched out his cat claws, "Meow!"

Kong Zhi nodded, "Yes, it has grown a lot, and now weighs more than 30 kilograms."

Xia Huoqu stretched out his hand to take Xia Mao Mao, "Let me see."

Kong Zhi handed the cat to him.

Xia Mao Mao's fur was long and soft, very nice to touch, Xia Huoqu couldn't help but touch it and rubbed the cat's head.

Before Xia Maomao protested, Xia Huoqu weighed him and said, "It is indeed more than 30 kilograms, which is enough for a small beast."

Xia Maomao's eyes lit up and he looked up at his brother.

His brother lowered his head and looked at him, "It's useless to be as heavy as a small beast. Your cat should not be aggressive when going out, especially not chasing wild beasts."

"Meow." Xia Maomao's tail drooped, and the whole cat was a little depressed.

Xia Maomao's body size has become much larger, but his abilities have basically not improved.

After a morning, he still couldn't change back to human form.

Yan Xinian came back and was surprised to see that his beast form had grown so big. He took the opportunity to stroke the cat for a while, the kind of stroke that only stroked the cat's back. He looked very satisfied.

Xia Maomao lay on the sofa with his head resting on his paws. He looked very depressed.

He could no longer change back to human form. No one knew how long it would last. The others didn't care and just stroked the cat.

The cat was so mad, meow.

Several people didn't notice Xia Maomao's depression and were observing the situation inside the bamboo tube.

They found that the temperature of the water poured in yesterday had hardly changed. The leftovers put in the plastic bag were even a little warm. It was magical.

Yan Xinian touched his chin, "This bamboo tube seems to have not only a storage function, but also a preservation function, but I don't know how long it can be preserved?"

"We'll know after two more days." Xia Huoqu asked, "How is the wooden rack you ordered this morning?"

"Lao Luo has already accepted the order and said it will be ready tomorrow."

A single bamboo tube is too easy to fall over, so they specially ordered a wooden rack to hold the bamboo tubes, the same kind of wooden rack used for beer bottles, with several placed in a row, and the lid closed after placing them.

In this way, even if the truck encounters a bumpy road, the bamboo tube should not fall over.

Yan Xinian said: "Let's observe for another two days. With this bamboo tube, we can put a lot more things. We can plan what to bring this time."

After he finished speaking, he walked over and touched Xia Maomao, and said with a smile: "Don't be depressed, you are a great hero this time."

Xia Maomao rested his head on his paws and ignored Yan Xinian.

No matter how much he was praised, his mood could not get better.

As a cat, he could do too little and was basically excluded from the preparations. They

were about to go out, and several people were busy, except Xia Maomao.

Xia Maomao was like a useless cat and could only play with his mobile phone.

He didn't know whether all cats had different vision from humans, or only he had different vision when he was in cat form.

When he is a cat, he can see a wider range of colors.

For example, the color of the table, most people see it as yellow after the wood is worn, but he can accurately see the original wood color, brown, black and other more detailed colors.

This difference usually does not have any impact on his life.

However, if he can't turn back into a human and can only play with his mobile phone all day as a cat, his eyes will be particularly tired.

Summer Cat lay on the sofa depressed and fell asleep.

As a cat, there are really too few things to do.

Summer Cat was really tired of sleeping that day, so he simply jumped off the ground and slipped out to find summer pepper.

When he was a cat, he usually didn't leave the house.

Mainly because the outside was all muddy.

The paws and fur will get dirty easily when stepping on the muddy ground. He is not like other cats that will lick his fur. He is also very afraid of water. He is afraid that it will be very annoying if his fur gets dirty after taking a bath.

Summer Cat ran to the muddy ground outside.

Summer Pepper was still there. It should be awake today. Seeing Summer Cat, it shook its branches curiously.

Summer Pepper has grown a lot recently. From Summer Cat's perspective, this pepper tree is simply huge.

Summer Cat looked at it and got a little angry.

"Swish."

The summer pepper tree pulled itself out completely, jumped over curiously, and tried to touch the summer cat with its branches.

When the summer cat saw this huge creature, he was afraid that it would not know the seriousness of the matter, so he quickly ran back. It would have been better if

he didn't run away, but once he started running, the summer pepper tree's curiosity rose, and he simply chased it all over the yard.

This bear thing is incredibly energetic! The

summer cat was chased and ran for a long time, but he couldn't beat the pepper tree, so

he simply ran back home. In this way, all his fur got dirty.

In the evening, Kong Zhi had to use a wet towel to wipe his fur clean, and asked, "What did you do today? Why are you so dirty?"

"Meow." The summer cat lay on the bed, wagging his tail, and didn't want to communicate with him at all.

Kong Zhi smiled and kissed his furry head, then continued to wipe his paws.

While Xia Maomao was depressed, they quickly prepared to go out.

The four of them originally planned to drive two trucks, but Xia Maomao's situation was not suitable for driving.

In addition, they had a bamboo tube with space, which could accommodate everything even without driving two trucks, so they finally drove out in only one truck. If they were in the same truck, they would have someone to take care of them if anything happened.

Xia Maomao didn't know when he could turn back into a human.

However, he was not positioned as a warrior in the team, so he could go out even as a cat, and it would not be a big deal to go out in the form of a cat.

Before they left, they entrusted all the big and small matters at home and in the fields to Liao Cheng.

The pigs and cows were entrusted to Zheng Linguang and He Shuhui.

They might not be back for ten days or half a month this time, and they might not come back until next year. They also told the base to make preparations.

After everything was done, they finally set off in the cold morning of late autumn.

"Let's go." Yan Xinian sat in the driver's seat and said to the two people and the cat, "From today on, we will be on the road for five or six days. Now the animals and plants are mutating more and more, you should get some sleep first and conserve your energy to avoid encountering any problems later."

"Meow." Xia Maomao was the first to respond, lying on Kong Zhi's legs and ready to sleep.

Xia Huoqu and Kong Zhi both touched his back.

They felt that their trip was quite smooth, and nothing happened for two days.

They drove on the road during the day and found a place to rest at night.

As for the problem of food, they brought all kinds of sauces and vegetables. When they arrived at the place, they took down the pot and cooked a pot of hot food. There was basically no problem.

On the third day, they encountered some trouble.

It started to snow.

Summer Cat felt okay, because he had long hair and was very warm. Even in snowy weather, he didn't feel cold at all.

The others wore a few more clothes, which made them bloated and not so convenient to move.

The most important thing is that if they suddenly change back to beast form and take off their clothes, it will be more troublesome than before.

Keeping warm was only a minor problem. They had enough clothes and would not freeze whether it was day or night. The problem was that once it snowed and frost formed, the road would become slippery.

Their truck slipped several times even though they drove very carefully.

Once, they almost hit a tree.

Xia Huoqu looked at the vast expanse of white land outside and frowned, saying, "No, we really can't drive on in this weather. We have to stop and rest for a while, and then start again when the snow stops or the ice melts."

Yan Xinian said, "Let me look at the map - the next place is only more than ten kilometers away from us. Let's go to the next place and then stop and rest."

The two people and the cat had no objection.

So they continued to drive the car carefully on the road in the heavy snow.

Once it snowed, the sky and the earth turned white.

There was a howling north wind outside. They felt OK sitting in the car, but they had to turn on the air conditioner occasionally.

Otherwise, it was too cold and their fingers were frozen. The driver had no way to react in time.

Yan Xinian estimated the amount of fuel they had and said, "We may not have enough fuel. We have to find a place to refuel."

Xia Huo said, "Isn't the place we are going to stop in a town? There must be a gas station near the town. If no one gets there first, we can get a lot of fuel this time."

Now it's a mess outside. Not many people dare to go out to collect supplies. There is no base nearby. They should be able to find fuel in the town.

They drove forward and arrived at the town before dark.

The gas station is also very easy to find. It is at the intersection outside the town.

Yan Xinian and Xia Huoqu went to get oil, while Kong Zhi and Xia Maomao stayed in the car.

Yan Xinian and Xia Huoqu arrived at the abandoned gas station.

Yan Xinian looked at the bamboo tube in his hand, turned his head to look at the truck, and sighed again, "Xiao Nong's ability is really powerful. With him, we can save more than ten times of worry on the road."

In the past, every time they found oil or diesel, they had to use plastic bottles to fill it, and after filling it, they had to put it in the car one by one, which took up a lot of space.

Now with bamboo tubes, one tube can hold the oil of half a gas station.

Xia Huoqu was on guard at the side, urging: "Hurry up, fill more."

"Okay." Yan Xinian filled the oil, estimated the amount of oil, and said: "I'm not afraid this time. No matter how we use it, it's enough to run."
