CH 8

Fortunately, Fang He has a body that belongs to a cat, and has a natural advantage of flexibility and lightness. So Fang He’s footing is relatively accurate.

Standing on the narrow window edge of the twenty-story building, it took him a long time to construct his inner self before he dared to poke his head out to observe the surroundings. The barbs on the cat’s paws gripped the window edge tightly. 

The windows on the next floor are the same narrow edge, and it’s in a straight line position. It’s clear that jumping down directly has a possibility of failure, but at this moment, Fang He knows that he could only go down slowly as he took a step closer to the edge of the window.

The surface of this building is a light brown brick design. Fortunately, it is not particularly smooth. Fang He cat’s paws scratched on the brick wall. After confirming that he could maintain his body weight, Fang He was ready to slide down.

Fang He pressed hard against the wall and carefully stepped back down. Every time he moved, the barbs on the cat’s paws clung to the wall. Just like this, Fang He goes down and slightly grins his way back up.

When he finally reached the window edge downstairs, Fang He carefully settled down. In this way, he went down floor by floor. 

Fang He was helplessly grateful at this time. Fortunately, he was a cat. He can see things clearly around him in the middle of the night. Doing this in the dark, if he accidentally fell off from the upper floor, his cat life would be cut short.

When Fang He finally managed to get to the second floor, Fang He was almost exhausted and paralyzed. Squatting down by the window on the second floor to rest, he looked at the sky that was gradually turning white. He estimated that he took less than four hours, and It’s almost dawn.

After Fang He had enough rest, he jumped directly from the second floor to a big tree downstairs. When the cat’s paw touched the ground, Fang He almost burst into tears. It was not easy. He raised his head and glanced at his poop shoveling official’s house, which was on the 22nd floor. To be able to come down so smoothly, for a two-month-old He-miao, the little kitty, is simply the pinnacle of cat birth.

Fang He easily ran out from the community where Li Zhen’s house was located. He followed the road he saw in Li Zhen’s car before and ran towards the parking lot where Li Zhen saved him.

The early morning air and scenery are very good. Where can you find such a calm and peaceful time in the apocalypse. But Fang He only sighed for a second and left it behind him.

These prosperity and tranquility will slowly be annihilated after tomorrow. These seemingly peaceful streets will be filled with virus-infected zombies. The architecture of the entire city will gradually decline. And everything will be so desolate and miserable in the apocalyptic world.

Although Fang He remembers a lot of roads, as a cat, in order to avoid being hit by a car, he can only walk on green belt areas and sidewalks.

It stands to reason that with such a winding terrain, he might get lost, but he is inexplicably certain that there is really nothing wrong with the road he has traveled.

Instead of resting his two paws, Fang He made them rub his face. He was exhausted from running all the way over here. When he arrives and meets Li Zhen later, he must ask Li Zhen to prepare countless small dried fish for him as compensation for his thousand-mile quest to search for him.

Inadvertently, Fang He cat paw touched the peach-core bell in his neck, and a small amount of blood from the soft pad was wiped on the peach-core bell. Fang He flicked his cat’s paw and muttered, “Meow, meow, meow…”

Um, well, what Fang He meant was, take this thing with you. It’s so embarrassing. 

But there’s this feeling of inexplicable determination in his heart, Fang He lowered his head and looked at the peach-core bell. Is it really possible that this kind of peach seed can really bless people? Fang He’s cat paw held up the peach-core bell, suspecting that the cat peach-core bell was a magical object.

Fang He’s heart was on fire for a while, and then shook the cat’s head hard. Fang He feels a little delusional. Although there are some magical objects in the apocalypse, such as pendants with magical storage space, they all seemed to be made from jade.

Fang He put aside his unrealistic imagination. When it switched to green light again, he hurriedly passed the cars at the stop line. He didn’t care if anyone would regard his behavior as a spectacle.

Fang He-mao running this way was exhausting, his stomach was feeling hungry a long time ago, and it was almost noon when he was nearing his destination. Looking at the place where Li Zhen might be, Fang He couldn’t help squinting his cat’s eyes. 

He was lying on his stomach inside the box before, so except for seeing the open air-parking lot, he didn’t even notice this building with the national emblem not far away.

Although Fang He still doesn’t know Li Zhen’s specific occupation, he feels that, apart from the major hospitals, this is the place that is most dangerous and prone to being infected with zombie virus.

Such a magnificent building, as a kitten, Fang He knew it would be difficult for him to get inside. So Fang He turned the whole building around, but he still didn’t find a place where a cat could get in, and he couldn’t open the glass door alone.

Fang He ran to the parking lot annoyed, and saw Li Zhen’s car in its original position. Fang He wanted to lure the owner of the car out, so he was thinking whether to use his cat paws and give the car a series of scratches, making the car alarm go off. 

When suddenly, the car door opened. Li Zhen, who filled Fang He’s mind for a long time, appeared so blatantly in front of his eyes.

Thanks cat bell! Fang He pounced on with a meow, and slammed onto Li Zhen’s thigh. His paws hooked tightly on Li Zhen’s trousers.

Li Zhen frowned slightly, stretched out his hand and dragged Fang He’s back, “He-maio?”

“Meow!” Fang He responded cleverly. It’s best to build the initial trust, as it was important the next time he showed his cards. 

Li Zhen stretched out his hand to pick up his He-miao, and thought about how this little thing suddenly appeared here, it is impossible for Chen Weiming to bring it.

When Li Zhen finally noticed that his family He-miao was very dirty and saw the bloody cat paws, his entire face turned cold. When Chen Weiming didn’t close the door, He-miao might have slipped out and ran all the way here.

Fang He, who unintentionally glanced at him, almost shuddered.

In fact, it’s not just Fang He’s blood, most of it was stained by Fang He’s ketchup. 

Li Zhen also confirmed it after checking them. The cat paws didn’t bleed that much, but seeing the torn soft pads on the cat’s paws, Li Zhen was no longer entangled with the ketchup.

Li Zhen gently rubbed the back of the kitten’s head, “Hey, He-miao, let’s go home.”

With just this sentence, Fang He fell in daze for a while, and his heart was touched inexplicably. Home…

Even before the end of the world, he already had no home. Both his parents died in an plane crash, and he was fostered at his uncle’s house. After the end of the world, when he was infected by the virus, he did not become a zombie, but had gained a special power. And because of this special power, he was sold to the laboratory by his uncle, when he was only eight years old. 

At this time, Fang He, who was already 21 years old in mind, heard Li Zhen say “go home”. There’s another inexplicable feeling coming in, and the original idea to use Li Zhen to collect materials and make a living out of him suddenly disappears. He thought the two of them could support each other at the upcoming apocalypse as a family.

Li Zhen hugged Fang He and got into the car. Originally, he only came to get something from the car, and then come back again to listen to several people from the crime team to analyze the case.

After staying up all night, he didn’t get the final result until this morning. He also wanted to come home directly, but the results of the autopsy kept making him upset. It shows that the victim was killed after gnawing off most of his body parts.

And the result of the comparison proved that it was human tooth marks, not any beasts. This result shocked everyone. This murderer was more cruel and cold-blooded than the murderer in the previous dismemberment case. He’s extremely psychopathic or he is a highly mentally ill patient, which is very dangerous. 

It’s just that Li Zhen was not planning to go back there again. He has done what he should do. He also told Chen Weiming a few guesses, the rest is to track down clues. He can’t help anymore. Going back there, he will just stay as an audience, so it was more important for him to go back home and treat his family He-miao first.

Li Zhen put Fang He on his lap. Fang He raised his cat’s head, stretched his neck, and carefully stared at Li Zhen face. His face still look cold as ice, but he obviously has a ruddy complexion. Even if he worked overtime and stayed up all night, he still seemed to be in good spirits. He didn’t look like he was infected with a virus at all, so Fang He was relieved.

In Fang He’s knowledge, the zombie virus outbreak is very obvious. As long as you’re infected with the zombie virus, the most obvious thing is that your complexion is pale, your eyes are red, and your reason will gradually disappear, and the whole process of becoming a zombie will not even take more than half an hour.

Of course, mutants are different. They are also infected with the virus. But mutants will gradually turn red, and they will developed high fever that will not go away, and will feel an extreme dehydration. The longer it lasts, the higher the abilities of the mutants, but there are also many people who are burned to death by the high fever. 

Feeling assured that Li Zhen was fine, Fang He was relieved. When Li Zhen gets home and sees the words he wrote on the wall, they can be honest with each other. Then, the two can prepare enough food and basic supplies at the little time they have before the zombie virus breaks out.

Fang He thought that although it was difficult, it was good to be able to get his poop shoveling official back.
