Chapter 3 003 Peace Lock
Chi Yingdong discovered that the kitten really liked the French windows, perhaps because it could bask in the sun while sleeping there. In response, she had a flower-shaped cat tree custom-made for the kitten.
The winter sun is gentle, shining softly through the glass onto the sleeping kitten on the cat tree.
Stretching, the kitten woke up from its dream, its tiny paws gently patting the soft cushion.
Since becoming a cat, her behavior has become increasingly feline, and she often unconsciously starts kneading.
After a while, Meng Qinghe was satisfied and slowly walked to the cat water fountain to drink water.
Life is simple and pleasant now.
She didn't need to rack her brains to write; she could just sleep, eat, and then bask in the sun before going back to sleep. Her life was a complete waste, but that's what she was addicted to.
As the apocalypse drew ever closer, Chi Yingdong spent less and less time at home, busy hoarding all sorts of supplies.
With seven days left until the apocalypse, Chi Yingdong decided to go abroad to see if he could acquire some firearms.
Looking at the kitten lazily lying on the cat tree, Chi Yingdong regretted buying it. She would never admit that she was jealous of a cat tree.
Earlier, as soon as she stepped into the house, the kitten came up to her and circled around her, being extremely clingy.
Nowadays, when she calls the kitten over, the kitten won't even bother to lift its eyelids to look at her.
Are all kittens like this?
Chi Yingdong shook his head helplessly and reached out to scoop the kitten into his arms.
Touching the kitten's round, bulging belly.
A sense of pride welled up within her; she had taken excellent care of the kitten.
Thinking that the kitten didn't like cat food, Chi Yingdong couldn't help but feel that he hadn't stocked up on enough seafood in his space, and he could stock up on it during this trip.
Thinking of this.
Chi Yingdong pulled the kitten's paw and shook it.
"Sweetie, Mommy has to go out to run some errands tomorrow and will be back in about two days. Be a good girl at home, okay?"
"Meow."
don't want!
Meng Qinghe tilted her head back, her emerald green eyes looking at Chi Yingdong with displeasure.
She didn't want to be separated from Chi Yingdong for too long!
These past two days, when Meng Qinghe saw Chi Yingdong, she didn't rush to be affectionate with him, simply because she felt she was being too clingy and felt embarrassed.
But deep down, she really enjoyed this kind of close contact.
Meng Qinghe thought that if she were in her original body, she would never be so willful.
She was afraid that she would be too clingy and annoy people.
But now, she's a kitten.
With someone spoiling her, she has the right to be willful.
"Good girl."
Chi Yingdong gently scratched the kitten's chin.
Listening to the kitten's comforting purring, my soul seemed to find its home.
"Meow." Meng Qinghe shyly bit Chi Yingdong's finger, her teeth grinding lightly, before awkwardly turning her head away.
The kitten's body is so weak!
Just a tickle on the chin and my body goes limp and I can't muster any strength.
Where Chi Yingdong couldn't see, Meng Qinghe's round eyes narrowed secretly as she enjoyed the moment.
"I went out to prepare food for you," Chi Yingdong coaxed.
After observing the kitten for the past few days, Chi Yingdong discovered that the kitten especially loved seafood, so of course she had to prepare plenty of seafood for it.
When the apocalypse arrives, humans will be the first to show abnormalities.
Then, seawater flooded in, a tsunami engulfed the city, and the surviving humans fled in all directions, while the bodies of the zombies in the city became food for marine life.
After that, marine life began to undergo terrifying mutations.
The whole world was plunged into endless chaos.
Chi Yingdong was thinking that before anything happened, he should buy some deep-sea fish to keep in his space so that the kitten could eat them later.
Was it to find food for themselves?
Meng Qinghe rested her little head against Chi Yingdong's body, her little paws secretly clenching Chi Yingdong's clothes.
Since Grandma passed away, no one has ever done anything selflessly, just to make her happy.
"Meow."
Go ahead and make sure you come back soon.
The next day, Chi Yingdong left home with Meng Qinghe watching him go.
With nothing to do, Meng Qinghe jumped onto the cat tree and aimlessly licked his fur.
I've lived alone for so long before, so why can't I do it now?
As the sun rose in the east and set in the west, Meng Qinghe, bored, began to inspect the house.
Although he has the body of a kitten, he is still a person inside, and Meng Qinghe still has a strong sense of boundaries.
Having lived in this house for so long, she has only been active in the public areas and has never set foot in Chi Yingdong's private territory.
As if guided by some strange force, Meng Qinghe strolled to the door of Chi Yingdong's bedroom.
Chi Yingdong's bedroom door was not closed properly. Through the crack in the door, Meng Qinghe was surprised to find that the style of Chi Yingdong's room was completely opposite to the overall tone of the house.
The entire bedroom is predominantly black, which makes it feel dark and oppressive, giving one a feeling of tightness in the chest.
The arrangement of a room best reflects a person's inner thoughts, and Meng Qinghe always felt that Chi Yingdong shouldn't like this kind of arrangement.
Completely baffled, Meng Qinghe and Chi Yingdong thought that the bedroom could be more resistant to dirt.
With a flick of its tail, Meng Qinghe turned and slowly walked away.
Chi Yingdong returned a day later than the two days she had promised.
Meng Qinghe was quite dissatisfied with this!
She decided to give Chi Yingdong a little punishment.
Meng Qinghe lightly jumped onto the curtain rod, her four paws gripping the rod firmly.
The velvet curtains covered her body, leaving only her small head exposed.
Her round eyes darted around mischievously, her gaze following Chi Yingdong. When Chi Yingdong couldn't find her anywhere in the room, she meowed like a kitten, trying to coax her out, feeling smug inside.
But she didn't know.
Chi Yingdong, who awakened his supernatural abilities ahead of time, has five senses that are much more acute than those of ordinary people.
As soon as he entered the house, Chi Yingdong noticed an unusual sound of air movement coming from the curtains and immediately realized that the kitten was hiding there.
Chi Yingdong has 100% patience when it comes to kittens.
The kitten wanted to play hide-and-seek, so she played with it.
Meng Qinghe's tail wagged happily behind him.
Seeing Chi Yingdong frantically rummaging through drawers and cabinets, Little Cat realized that she was extremely important to Chi Yingdong.
The little cat decided to forgive her.
The kitten gathered its strength in its arms, then leaped lightly towards the pre-selected landing spot.
This jump startled Chi Yingdong, who quickly reached out to catch it.
It was this action of hers that made Meng Qinghe realize that Chi Yingdong had already discovered where she was hiding.
His previous anxious demeanor was all an act to cheer her up.
Bad guy!
The cat is angry!
The kitten turned its back, and its already fluffy tail spread out behind it like a huge feather blanket.
Looking at the kitten's fluffy back, Chi Yingdong sighed softly, walked over to the kitten, and squatted down.
"I'm sorry, baby, I shouldn't have come home so late."
After saying that, Chi Yingdong took out a cat collar from his pocket, which was a gold safety lock. "This is an apology gift for the baby."
Upon hearing the word "gift," Meng Qinghe's ears twitched, and his tail wagged happily.
Seeing this, Chi Yingdong smiled slightly and handed the golden peace lock to the kitten.
The workmanship of the peace lock is extremely fine, and the patterns on it are also very delicate. The "Fu" character is round and plump, which makes people happy just by looking at it.
Meng Qinghe was very satisfied and raised his paw to flick the three small bells hanging from the safety lock.
Strangely, the bell did not ring.
The kitten looked up at Chi Yingdong, puzzled.
Chi Yingdong explained, "Cats have very sensitive ears. If the bell keeps ringing, it's bad for the baby's ears."
"Meow."
Okay.
The kitten glanced at the collar, then tilted its head back, gesturing for Chi Yingdong to put it on it.
Chi Yingdong put the collar on the kitten's neck, his fingertips tracing the safety lock, his eyes darkening slightly.
When making the safety lock, she asked the craftsman to embed a positioning chip so that even if she got separated from her cat one day, she could find her cat by satellite positioning.
Safety lock, safety lock.
Chi Yingdong had even more faith in herself; she was certain she would protect the kitten for life.
"Is the baby hungry? Would you like some canned food?"
Chi Yingdong took out a can of cat food and waved it in front of the kitten, trying to get its attention.
"Meow."
Meng Qinghe snapped out of her thoughts and looked at the cat food can.
There are many abandoned stray kittens in the urban village. Meng Qinghe had previously bought canned food to feed them because she felt sorry for them. At that time, she thought the cat food smelled pungent and had a strong fishy smell.
After becoming a cat, Meng Qinghe suddenly understood why kittens love canned cat food when he smelled it again.
It smells so good!
"Meow!"
I want to eat!
Chi Yingdong glanced at the kitten with affection, then got up and picked up a small dish with a pink wood ear rim.
The opening of the can is too small, making it easier for the kitten to eat when poured out.
The phone on the table suddenly vibrated, the screen lit up, and a call came in.
Chi Yingdong glanced at the caller, swiped his finger across the screen to answer, and slightly shrugged his left shoulder, pressing it close to the phone along with his cheek.
Without stopping, he poured the canned food into a dish.
It's a phone call from a real estate agent.
"Hello, Ms. Chi. The transfer of ownership for the top-floor apartment in Building B has been successfully completed. The original owner has moved out, and Ms. Chi can move in at any time. The door code is: 778569."
"Okay, sure."
A few days before the apocalypse officially broke out, some humans developed fevers and fell into comas. Everyone initially thought it was just a dangerous viral cold.
However, when these people awoke from their coma, they had turned into zombies who only knew how to eat human flesh and blood.
Before the survivors could even catch their breath, the torrential rain began. At first, people were still hoping that the rain would stop soon.
No one expected that the rain would last for a whole month.
The city's drainage system was also overwhelmed by the continuous impact of the torrential rain and completely paralyzed.
Residents on the lower floors watched helplessly as the floodwaters rose rapidly and relentlessly poured into their homes, while the rain outside showed no signs of letting up.
Even more terrifying, the seawater also flowed back in, swallowing up most of the city.
The building where Chi Yingdong currently lives has 32 floors.
In the previous life, more than half of the floors of this building were flooded, and the residents on the lower floors fled upwards in order to survive.
Recalling the scene in her previous life where a bunch of people blocked the door trying to get in, Chi Yingdong couldn't have guaranteed that, given her physical condition in her previous life, she would not have been able to migrate north.
After recalling his experiences in his previous life, Chi Yingdong decided to move today.
The real estate agent said that the owner of the apartment on the 32nd floor had already moved out, so Chi Yingdong decided to go upstairs to confirm and move in today if possible.
Placing the plate in front of the kitten, Chi Yingdong said, "Baby, I'm going out for a bit. Be a good boy/girl."
Meng Qinghe looked up at Chi Yingdong with a puzzled expression, then gave a soft "meow" in response.
Chi Yingdong returned shortly after leaving. The residents of apartment 32 had already moved out, and the cleaning service had also arranged for a cleaning lady to come and do the cleaning. The apartment was ready for immediate move-in.
We had to move sooner or later, and Chi Yingdong planned to move today. "Baby, we're moving today!"
"Meow?"
Meng Qinghe was puzzled; they were living there just fine, so why did they suddenly have to move?
The original book revolves around Qiao Ying and Xiao Baihua, and the opening chapters show Chi Yingdong and Qiao Ying on their journey to the north.
Before this point in the story, Meng Qinghe was not given much detail; he was only briefly mentioned in the later conversations between Qiao Ying and Xiao Baihua.
Chi Yingdong thought the kitten was reluctant to leave, and asked, "Does the baby like it more here? But it's not safe here."
The apocalypse came suddenly, and few people stockpiled food at home, so they quickly ran out of food.
Some people tried to go outside to collect supplies, but there were zombies floating on the water. As soon as someone went into the water, those zombies that were not afraid of choking on water immediately pounced on them.
The danger is incomparable to that of the residents in the building.
In order to survive, those who had run out of food began to loot supplies from their fellow villagers in the building.
Living on the 32nd floor doesn't completely eliminate the dangers, but it's much better than living on the 19th floor.
Making good use of the space, Chi Yingdong moved all his belongings from the house to his home on the top floor in one trip.
The top-floor apartments are hard to sell, so the developer included a rooftop balcony as a bonus, which now belongs to Chi Yingdong.
Upon arriving at his new home, Meng Qinghe had barely put his feet on the ground when he began to explore with curiosity.
An opening was made in the house, and a retractable ladder was built to lead to the rooftop balcony. Meng Qinghe climbed the ladder to the outside.
The original homeowner was a person with a lot of leisure and refined tastes. He enclosed the top floor with tempered glass and transformed it into a rooftop garden.
Few flowers bloom in winter, but the fragrance of wintersweet alone is enough to fill the entire rooftop garden.
Taking a break in this rooftop garden under the warm winter sun would be incredibly pleasant.
Thinking this way, Meng Qinghe also did this.
I found a recliner and lay down.
The kitten was sleeping, while Chi Yingdong was busy checking for any omissions and also called a repairman to come and replace the door.
