The little white cat in the other person's hand looked to be about seven or eight kilograms, about the same size as an adult rural cat before the disaster.
But in this world where any landscape tree can grow to hundreds of meters and a crow is as big as an Alaskan dog... a kitten weighing about seven or eight kilograms is really very, very small.
The white cat was a small ball, covered in blood. Black and red blood scabs and dirt had matted the cat's fur into clumps. If the cat's fur wasn't long, and the original color could barely be seen from its limbs and head, Xia Runrun would have almost failed to recognize that it was a white cat.
The kitten was held in the palm of the leading man's hand, with its limbs hanging limply in the air, stretched very long.
The man held a knife in one hand, his expression grim. He threatened in a sinister tone, "Little brat, have you made up your mind? Do you want to stay and be my pet, or wait to be thrown into the pot and stewed into cat soup? I haven't eaten much meat these days, so I'll just throw you into the pot!"
After the natural disaster, not only did the animals undergo physical changes, but their IQ also evolved significantly.
Except for some creatures such as insects, fish and shrimps which have little brain capacity, the vast majority of mammals have evolved to a terrifying level, especially cats, dogs, mice, etc. that have lived with humans for a long time, whose IQ has increased dramatically.
But the more this happens, the more difficult it becomes to tame animals as pets. Ordinary food can hardly be used to lure them, and cats and dogs may not listen to reason.
To this end, people have come up with many other tricks. Among them, the most common method is to take them away from their parents when they are still young, use threats to train them, let them form habits, and force them to recognize their owners.
However, such training often involves a lot of violence and blood, and many small animals cannot accept it and choose to die.
Many young animals die every year.
The leading man didn't care whether this method would kill the kitten in front of him. He just wanted to try whether he could convince the cub in front of him. Although the cat was only tiny now, it would be a giant beast at least two or three meters tall when it grew up.
Thinking of this, the leading man's eyes lit up with excitement, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily rose slightly, as if he would reach the peak of his life with mutant beasts to drive in the next second.
However, the little white cat was clearly in a mess and covered in blood, but it didn't react at all to the threat from the leading man, and even had a cold gaze as if it was looking at a bunch of maggots.
In those red and blue mandarin duck eyes, it was clearly written: "Just you? Ha!"
The leader's gaze was filled with deep disgust and disdain. His face immediately turned pale with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Fuck! You're so shameless! Do you really think I'm good-tempered? I'll show you with your own eyes what happens when I skin you alive!"
Enraged by the little white cat, the man was like an angry bull, with veins bulging on the back of his hands due to the sudden force!
It looked like he wanted to break the kitten's ribs alive!
The strong grip squeezed the chest cavity, causing pain. The already slightly broken bones made the chest groan in pain.
The little white cat raised its head slightly, its red and blue eyes icy cold. Its bones were squeezed so hard that they were almost deformed. The pain was clearly transmitted to the depths of its brain along with every cell, making Chu Hang's expression even colder...
The aftereffects of using his mental power for the first time were still too severe. Otherwise, the group of people in front of him would not be able to touch him at all.
A bunch of losers want to keep him as a pet... I don't know if he will live to see that happen.
Killing intent seeped out of his cold eyes, and a wave of mental power so strong that it was about to condense into substance surged out from the kitten. However, just as this mental power seemed to be about to turn into solid armor and condense on the white cat, a soft and sticky voice that seemed to have a milky taste suddenly rushed into the ears of the three people and the cat.
A tiny little girl, who looked only three or four years old, wearing a black hooded down jacket and carrying a small backpack, was standing at the entrance of the alley. She looked up at the three people with a pale face and said in a hurried, anxious, and trembling voice, "Uncle, can you please not eat the kitten?!"
"ha?!"
"Uncle, the kitten is so cute. Can you please not eat it? It is so small and there is not much meat on it. It must not taste good. Can you please not eat it?" There was anxiety in the little girl's black and bright eyes, as if she was worried about the three adult men in front of her. The next second, she threw the little white cat into the pot.
However, when the little white cat saw this scene, the temperature in his eyes suddenly dropped, as if he had entered an extremely cold hell.
It drooped its eyelids slightly, and its entire body remained motionless, with its limbs drooping, as if it had become a stone sculpture. It showed no reaction at all, and even the mental power that was about to condense into physical armor slowly dissipated in the air.
Chu Hang knew that the group of guys in front of him would never miss any opportunity to trick the cubs into becoming pets. Dirty humans always come up with various ways to deceive the trust of mutant animals. Knowing that adults find it difficult to gain the trust of mutant animals, they set their sights on children. Children are always easier to deceive the favor of animals.
Especially when the child is still worried about them despite his fear, the probability of success is even greater.
Chu Hang remembered that he had seen such a chain of traps half a month ago.
The abused mutant animal cubs seemed to have found redemption from the human child, but in fact they had no idea that the abuser and the child were in cahoots. This was like another cat-grabbing drama that once took place in pet hospitals for sterilization packages.
Another way to turn him into a pet.
How could a clean, unattended child suddenly appear in this ruined alley? And the timing was so perfect. This little girl had clearly been waiting at the entrance of the alley, appearing just when the abused mutant animal was nearing despair.
Humans are indeed the filthiest creatures. Even a three or four-year-old child has been corrupted by darkness. In such a filthy world, it would be better to go to hell with him...
A ferocious look gradually crept into the red and blue cat's pupils, and the other blue eye gradually turned blood red...
The white cat's spiritual power slowly condensed once more, attempting to materialize. A bloody and violent energy surged within his body. Sharp teeth gradually grew, and the claws within his paw pads grew harder, emitting a faint metallic sheen. Even though the aftereffects of his giant manifestation were still spreading through his body, leaving him feeling weak and powerless, he still couldn't suppress the violent emotions within his spiritual form...
No one noticed that the little white cat held in the leading man's hand was quietly changing.
"What are you kidding, little brat?"
The leading man took two steps forward, staring closely at Xia Ruanruan, his eyes filled with impatience as he said, "Such a big piece of meat, do you know how much food it can be worth?!"
After the natural disaster, plants grew rapidly and food was good, but meat was a hundred times harder to come by than before. This white cat looked to be around seven or eight kilograms, and after skinning and washing it, it would still weigh at least four or five kilograms. A little kid suddenly appeared and ran out, wanting him to give up the piece of fat meat in front of him. How could the leading man agree to that?
"Uncle, I have canned luncheon meat, chocolate, candy, and biscuits... How about we exchange them?!"
"Candies, biscuits, chocolates and canned luncheon meat are definitely much more delicious than cat meat, and you uncles don't have to waste time skinning and cutting the meat. This kitten looks dirty, maybe it's a sick kitten, and there may be a lot of parasites on its body, so it's not safe to eat... Uncle, just exchange with me!" Xia Runrun stared at the kitten in the man's hand, and reached out to take out the food from the backpack. Although the backpack was small, it was full of a lot of things.
Really worried about the safety of the little white cat, Xia Runrun tried her best to persuade and try to take the little white cat away from the three people in front of her.
Xia Ruanruan is a person who has a natural affinity for animals and is particularly fond of small animals.
Chu Hang's gaze fell coldly on the little girl. Her soft, slightly curly hair looked freshly washed, and her chubby face still had a soft, baby-like chubby look. A family that could raise a plump child after such a natural disaster must have been incredibly well-off. No wonder they'd consider exchanging food for a pet.
Chu Hang suppressed his anger and sneered in his heart. He wanted to see what other tricks these people in front of him had.
