Time is like the water in a flush toilet. Once you press the button, it's gone in a flash. You can't stop it. Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
wilderness.
"Ah, I'm so hungry..."
On an almost dry tree, Mengmeng looked at the scorching sun in the sky, collapsed on the branches, rubbed her rumbling stomach, and looked listless, with her ears drooping.
The day before yesterday, after finding no trace of the undead and no signs of any danger, the cat people were filled with indignation, and the chief had to lead his people back to the tribe.
As the culprit of this "farce", Mengmeng was naturally severely criticized.
Although no one knew where she got the meat, it was obvious that the people of Dora's cat tribe did not believe that she had seen the dead, let alone that the dead gave her food. In the end, Meng Meng was gloriously given the title of a liar, and the meat was confiscated by the chief and distributed to the tribesmen who "left their homes" because of her lies.
"I'm not lying. I really saw the dead."
"Well, the patriarch is a bad guy, the undead are better than him, the undead give me meat to eat... huh?"
Mengmeng, who was a little confused due to hunger, started talking to herself, but suddenly stopped and blinked her eyes, as if she had caught some inspiration.
If, let’s say if, I were to go to the forbidden area to look for the undead again, would they still give me meat to eat?
This sudden idea scared Mengmeng herself. This idea was too dangerous. She didn't know why she suddenly had such an idea. Could it be because of the human who controlled the undead before? He seemed very kind.
No, no, no, last time it was just luck. I exchanged intelligence for a chance to survive. This time I have no intelligence to give him. What if he throws me to the undead? Then I’m dead.
Mengmeng shook her head vigorously to get rid of the dangerous thoughts, and then she thought, if there is any information, she can go and try it, the barbecue is really delicious.
Thinking of the barbecue that day, I can't control my saliva. Woohoo, my meat was taken away...
Ah, I’m even hungrier and can’t think anymore.
The body that had been sitting up slightly collapsed again. Mengmeng turned her head unconsciously, and her listless eyes suddenly widened. She saw a black shadow moving in the distance.
That is...
She quickly stood up and climbed to the top of the tree in a few seconds. She opened her eyes wider and looked hard into the distance, trying to see the dark shadows clearly.
The short green goblins and the headhunters recalled the rumors in the wilderness, and Mengmeng immediately realized that this was a coalition army going to attack the undead!
No, this is not a coalition force, this is meat, delicious barbecue!
As long as I give that human the information about the coalition forces' arrival, he will definitely barbecue for me.
Mengmeng was excited. Between the danger of the undead and her hungry stomach, she chose her stomach and decided to take a gamble.
He hugged the tree trunk, slid down from the top of the tree, and ran away without delaying at all.
"Mengmeng, where are you going?" Passing by the tribe, Mengni saw her sister who was like a gust of wind and asked in surprise.
"Sister, wait for me, I'll get some meat for you." The voice came from afar, and Mengmeng got on all fours and ran away.
"Meat? Where are you going to get meat... Wait, you, come back!" Meng Ni was confused at first, but then she thought of the undead, her face changed drastically, and when she shouted again, her sister had already run away.
The other cat people did not believe Mengmeng's words, but Mengni believed it because Mengmeng had never lied to her. Mengmeng said she saw the dead, so the dead really existed.
Mengmeng said she wanted to get some meat. She was just a little kitten, so where else could she get meat except by meeting the dead?
Meng Ni suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, dropped the work in her hands, and hurried to find the patriarch.
"What?! You said Mengmeng went to the forbidden area again!" After hearing Mengni's words, the patriarch was shocked and looked extremely frightened. Then he laughed out loud, "Menni, don't follow your sister's nonsense. There are no undead spirits. She made them up. Mengmeng just went out to play and will be back soon. Don't worry about it. Just do what you need to do."
"Chief, Mengmeng will not lie. Believe me, she really went to look for the undead." Meng Ni was so anxious that tears were about to come out, and she pleaded.
"Meng Ni!" The tribe leader's expression changed instantly, and he shouted angrily, "Enough! The tribesmen just returned, what are you going to do?"
"But my sister..." Meng Ni was about to think about something when she was interrupted by the patriarch.
"Even if Mengmeng really went to the forbidden area, what can we do?" The tribe leader said earnestly, "Do you want me to organize the tribesmen to rescue Mengmeng? She's an undead. We're just a small tribe. Do you want everyone to die?"
Meng Ni was stunned. What the patriarch said was indeed something she had not expected.
What can be done?
There was nothing he could do. Dora Meow didn't even have a few warriors, and he often got nothing when hunting. Naturally, it was impossible for him to fight the undead head-on.
She understood that it was not that the patriarch did not believe it, but that he did not dare to believe it, and he could not believe it. He was the head of the clan, and one decision would affect the life and death of the clan members.
Should you sacrifice the entire tribe to save a little cat who has no parents and makes no contribution to the tribe, or should you just pretend that this incident never happened and let nature take its course? There is no need to choose.
Even if it's cruel, it's the truth.
Meng Ni lowered her head, holding back tears, and whispered, "I understand, Chief. I went to find my sister on my own. It has nothing to do with the tribe, and I won't blame you. Thank you all for taking care of us during this time."
The chief looked at the girl and sighed. He knew that the two sisters depended on each other and had a deep affection for each other, but he could not help or persuade them. Cat people had their own choices, and they would be responsible for their own choices.
