Chapter 256: Black Cat
It was snowing lightly, and looking around, there was an endless expanse of white snow.
The streets and alleys were covered with white snow.
There were few vehicles on the street and no car horns could be heard.
In a dark alley, behind a recycling bin filled with household garbage, a young black kitten shivered next to a broken cardboard box piled with snow.
It kept making weak maomao sounds.
Not far away, three fat orange cats, though dirty and with a missing ear, were clearly well fed. They stared at the little black cat with a teasing look in their eyes.
The black cat couldn't open its eyes yet. It tucked its tail in and crawled slowly in the cardboard box.
The little nose kept sniffing, trying to find food and water.
At this moment, the cleaner driving the garbage truck drove into the alley, emptied all the garbage in the trash cans into the garbage truck one by one, and also took away the cardboard box that the black cat cub used to shelter from the wind and snow.
The little kitten lay shivering in the snow.
The cleaner obviously didn't want to take in such a dying kitten, so he drove away.
One of the fat orange cats hiding in the corner walked up to the kitten, picked it up, and walked towards the residential area across the alley.
The other two orange cats followed behind to provide protection.
The cat nimbly avoided the vehicles on the road and slipped through the gap in the railing door.
The fat orange boy, holding the little black cat in his mouth, went into a residential building and put the little black cat at the bottom of the stairs.
The little black cat was shivering and its limbs were shaking constantly.
It didn't even have the strength to scream.
The three big orange cats squatted behind the stairs, keeping each other warm, and the little black cat was sandwiched in the middle.
It didn't take long before it warmed up.
But it was very hungry and thirsty.
The three stray orange cats are lazy and unwilling to go out to find food.
They are fat and cute, and have always been fed canned cat food or other food by kind passers-by, so they are quite famous in this area.
Although they are stray cats, they all keep their fur shiny and glossy.
They also rarely see cats as small as the little black cat.
In the alley I often go to, when I was about to rummage through the trash can, the kitten in the cardboard box kept meowing, looking so pitiful.
I wanted to see how it would survive in the snow, but I didn't expect it to be a cub with one eye not fully open.
bite……
The elevator door opened and the girl stood at the first floor door, holding a hand warmer, waiting anxiously.
The water meter next to it was full of unpaid bills.
mao~
A meow caught her attention.
Luo Yunjin looked towards the stairs.
Three pairs of sparkling eyes were staring at her.
A fat orange cat was squatting in the corner of the stairs, paws in hand. A little black cat was sitting on the back of one of the orange cats, its pink mouth and nose swaying, and its little tail tucked between its hind legs.
Luo Yunjin walked to the stairs, squatted down and looked at the four cats.
The cats were also looking at her, wagging their tails.
She recognized the three fat orange cats. She had often seen them wandering around the alleys when she went out before, and she had bought cat food for them several times.
This little black cat must be their child.

Luo Yunjin took out a sausage and a small bag of slimming fruit tea from her pocket, which she had originally prepared for weight loss before meals.
She peeled off the plastic covering of the ham sausage, divided it into three parts, and gave one portion to each orange cat.
I opened a small hole in the fruit tea, not knowing if the kitten could drink it.
She tried to put the small bag towards the black cat's mouth.
The cat sniffed, found the source of the smell, and bit it.
Luo Yunjin's index finger was bitten.
But newborn kittens have no teeth.
I don't feel anything.
She could only pick up the kitten, carefully take out her finger, and then squeeze the fruit tea into its mouth.
The cat smacked its lips twice and went back to the bag. This time it found the right direction and drank from it with a whimpering sound.
The three orange cats obviously knew Luo Yunjin and were not shy at all. After finishing their ham sausages, they squatted aside and watched the little black cat drink fruit tea.
After drinking a small bag of fruit tea, the cat's belly became a little bigger.
Luo Yunjin put the cat back on the orange cat's back and said, "I'll come to see you guys another day."
She walked out the door.
A tall young man had been waiting for a long time, with a small layer of white snow on the black umbrella he was holding.
"Let's go eat hot pot today. I know there's a new hot pot restaurant nearby. I'll ask my brother to go there with me later." Luo Jinbei touched the girl's hair.
"I thought you'd bring a lunch box," Luo Yunjin complained. She felt around in the pockets of the man's cotton-padded jacket but didn't find any snacks. "I'm trying to lose weight lately, so I can't eat hot pot. You guys go ahead and just bring me a small, simple meal."
Luo Jinbei noticed his sister's eyes looking towards the stairs from time to time, and he understood, "If you like those cats, you can also keep them."
Luo Yunjin shook his head slightly. "I don't know how to raise cats. Giving them some food occasionally is enough. These kittens are better off living outside than with me. My meals and sleep schedule are irregular, and these cats deserve better."
She had no food left at home.
He could only tell Luo Jinbei to leave quickly.
Luo Yunjin continued to squat in the corner and rub the cat.
Just then, a wheezing sound was heard.
Behind the railing outside the community, a man with a ferocious expression, white film on his eyes, and black hairs on his skin was grabbing the railing, roaring continuously, and his mouth was bleeding.
Screams and the sound of cars crashing could be heard from the street.
Cats have well-developed hearing and their ears pricked up at this moment.
Luo Yunjin was shocked when he saw the monster's face behind the railing.
She hurriedly picked up the four cats, ran into the elevator, and quickly went home.
The building where she lives is mostly occupied by tenants who work during the day and come back at night, so there are not many residents during the day.
The elevator stopped at the eleventh floor.
Luo Yunjin's heart was pounding. She quickly opened the door, went into the house with the cat, and then closed and locked the door.
The sound of zombies breathing could also be heard outside the house.
A middle-aged woman with bent limbs and twisting body rushed to Luo Yunjin's house and scratched the door.
The girl saw a hideous face through the peephole. It was the auntie next door to her.
The iron gate made a loud noise as it was scratched.
Luo Yunjin put the cat aside and quickly pushed the sofa and coffee table in the single apartment to the door and held it against the door.
The banging on the door stopped ten minutes later, but a woman's scream was heard outside the door, followed by the sound of someone grinding their teeth and eating.
The three orange cats were squatting on the ground in a panic, and the little black cat was crawling on the floor.
The air conditioner was on at home and it was very warm, and it slid across the floor like a little fish.
Luo Yunjin walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and opened the curtains.
There were constant sounds of explosions on the street, passers-by screaming, and cars honking.
Thinking that her second brother had just left, she quickly made a phone call.
But the other party kept showing busy and couldn't get through.
This is a single apartment, a two-story building of 50 square meters.
The space is small, but the girl decorated it very cozy.
On the coffee table, a photo of the girl and another tall and strong young man was knocked to the floor by the zombies who had knocked on the door, and glass fragments were scattered all over the floor.
Luo Yunjin dialed all the numbers in his phone's address book, but none of them were answered.
The TV screen goes blue and no signal is found.
The computer can still connect to the Internet, and there are various help posts.
"Fuck, this is a zombie, damn, I got bitten, am I going to become a zombie too?"
"Help! I'm at No. 438, Building 1, Community 5438, E City. There are monsters everywhere outside my house! Is there anyone who can help?"
"I just seem to have a special ability. My fingers can release water!"
"The end of the world is coming. Everyone must protect themselves and prepare supplies in advance. The water supply has not been cut off yet. If you are still at home, fill up your tank with water immediately. Don't go out and seek death. Wait for rescue!"
…
Luo Yunjin can read ten lines at a glance.
She quickly filled all the pots and pans in the house with water.
There were still some eggs, ham, slimming fruit tea, and two large bottles of orange juice left in the refrigerator.
There are some uneaten snacks in the snack box under the bed on the second floor.
There were some uneaten fruits in the fruit plate on the coffee table.
There was also half a bag of rice and some rice flour in the kitchen cupboard.
That was all her supplies.
Because he was worried about the zombies outside, Luo Yunjin didn't dare to let his guard down and stayed awake all night.
The four cats were all very well-behaved and didn't run around or meow.
She took advantage of this time to steam all the rice in the house and make all the eggs into tiger skin eggs.
Guarding the few supplies he had, he hid behind the window.
The next day, the streets were deserted, filled with the wailing sounds of the walking dead. Every few meters, there were smoking, abandoned vehicles.
You can also faintly hear various screams.
Luo Yunjin hugged her legs and trembled.
On the third day, the power and water were cut off, and the little black cat still didn't open its eyes. The three orange cats showed signs of mania, as if something was wrong. To be on the safe side, Luo Yunjin locked the cats outside the entrance and separated them with a partition door.
On the fourth day, the orange cats mutated, but they did not turn into zombies. Instead, their superpowers were activated. The three cats had water, fire, and earth powers respectively.
The mutant cat with special powers is full of energy, and the whole cat has become much more energetic.
The little black cat finally opened its eyes today. It hid in the corner with the girl and was very well-behaved.
On the fifth day, the three orange cats showed signs of mutation again. They lay on the window and signaled the girl to open it.
Luo Yunjin looked at them with great concern, but still dragged his tired body to open the window.
The orange cats jumped directly onto the window and jumped down.
The cat followed the wall all the way down.
Luo Yunjin's eyes widened.
Soon the orange cat disappeared.
On the sixth day, there was another banging sound outside the door.
"Xiao Jin, are you there?"
Luo Yunjin couldn't believe it and ran to the door quickly. Seeing the anxious man behind the peephole, she burst into tears of joy and opened the door.
Li Heng walked into the room and hugged the girl.
Yao Mier looked around the room critically.
Luo Yunjin was a little surprised when he saw a group of people following Li Heng.
"Xiao Jin, do you have anything to eat?"
"Yes, yes." Luo Yunjin usually eats very little, and she can save most of the supplies.
There is still a lot of food in the kitchen.
"That's all. Brother Li, you've been busy for a long time today. I'll go next door to see if there's any meat or anything. You'll get sick if you just eat dry rice and eggs that have been there for who knows how long." Yao Mier provoked.
The little black cat's fur stood up and it stared at everyone vigilantly.
But when Luo Yunjin saw Li Heng, he was like a dodder.
Soon, the house was occupied by a group of people.
The food and water in the kitchen were also running low.
While these people were eating, they were still complaining that the food was not good enough.
Luo Yunjin didn't dare to say anything more.
On the eighth day, Luo Yunjin activated her wood ability, becoming the third person with this ability in the team. Everyone's attitude towards her suddenly changed.
On the ninth day, everyone left the apartment.
Luo Yunjin brought a black cat with her, but on that day, Yao Mier took advantage of the girl's inattention and threw the black cat in her backpack into an abandoned car on the side of the road.
"Where's my cat? Have you seen the little black cat again?"
"Maybe he ran away on his own. He didn't have enough to eat or drink if he followed us. It's better for him to leave. It will save him some material expenses." Yao Mier shrugged indifferently.
Luo Yunjin was very sad.
I have raised a black cat for ten days and we have already developed feelings for each other.

The little black cat trapped in the old car scratched the door.
The sound startled the surrounding zombies.
Soon the vehicle was surrounded by zombies.
Bang, bang, bang...
At this moment, several bullets blew the zombies in the head.
The man in the white lab coat opened the car and took the black cat out.
"Tsk, you're really lucky. You failed to advance and turned into a kitten in a last-ditch effort. You were able to survive for ten days in this situation. And today you just happened to meet me, Pei Chuan." Qi Chi took off his gloves and put the cat in his pocket.
There were three fat orange cats following behind him.
The orange cat's eyes sparkled.
"These three robot cats have collected a lot of human emotional materials recently, but I haven't found the Tree of Life yet." Qi Chi said to himself.
He sat on the motorcycle, and the orange cat jumped on it in a very human way and squatted behind the car.
The little black cat's hair was flying in the wind.
It gradually regained its memory.
Ever since the Tree of Life was stolen, Pei Chuan realized that his abilities were too weak to protect everything he wanted to.
So it tried to advance.
But because of his eagerness for quick success and utilitarianism, he failed miserably and his last burst of energy turned into a kitten.
In order to allow the little black cat to advance naturally, Qi Chi put it into the alley and asked three orange robot cats to guard it.
As long as the black cat cub can open its eyes, it will be able to regain its superpowers and have the ability to defend itself.
Doraemon also left after the black cat opened his eyes.
Originally, if the black cat stayed with Luo Yunjin, it might be able to further collect human emotions and advance, but unexpectedly it was abandoned by someone with ulterior motives.
So, Doraemon, who had been following the black cat silently, notified Qi Chi to come and rescue the cat.
After returning to the basement, the black cat's body continued to grow until it became the size of an adult cat, and then turned into a human.
"I've advanced." Pei Chuan said lightly.
"Yes, if you hold on a little longer, you might be able to advance two levels. The ability to nullify is one of the most unique abilities of cats on our planet Meow Star. It is difficult to advance through external objects. Only with abundant emotions and risking one's life can you advance. You don't have to be too anxious. People's hearts are complicated. Don't be fooled." Qi Chi patted his shoulder.

One month after the apocalypse, Pei Chuan was out looking for supplies and food when he saw a familiar girl and chased after her.
It's her!
But it’s not her either!
The first time he saw Luo Yunjin, Pei Chuan knew that although the girl not far away looked exactly like the girl who saved him before, they had different scents.
Luo Yunjin's scent before was rose, but the girl not far away smelled like orange.
So, is she still herself?
