Chapter 857: The Conflict Between Cats

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“Cut the crap! Just heal her,” Chang Qingqing couldn’t help but turn intimidating every time she saw the bearded zombie. Her gentle and warm vibe was gone as she became like an angry cat.

“Roar…” ‘Alright…’

The bearded zombie nodded obediently and walked to the patient even though he was being yelled at. When he pressed a hand on the patient’s forehead, the naughty vibe of his changed instantly.

A gleam of white light escaped from between his fingers, most of which flowed into the patient’s head. A minute later, he took back his hand and made two steps backward, then gave a roar. ‘Done,’ he said.

Chang Qingqing felt the patient’s forehead with her hand and found that the fever had been brought out. Then, she sighed with relief.

“Alright, let’s go! You guys, take care of him,” she turned and left a few words as she disappeared at the door.

That place was their temporary base. Green Mountain Base only had a small population, but now, half of them had died. That fact made all the base leaders heavy-hearted.

“Look, some of those plants out there have died, and the mutated ones are thriving,” Lan Lu abruptly started talking when Chang Qingqing and the bearded zombie walked to his side.

Chang Qingqing and the bearded zombie looked outside the window, but the zombie made no reaction. Clearly, he had noticed that long ago. Unlike him, Chang Qingqing fixed her eyes on those plants with a questioning frown while sinking into thoughts.

“If I have guessed right, a special gas seeped out of the ground last night, turning the world into this. The commoners have suffered a big influence, and a small part of superpowered people have lost their minds. However, the zombies were all fine. Even the mutated animals and plants changed so drastically, especially those plants that were rooted deep in the ground,” Lan Lu pointed at those rapidly growing trees and said.

Based on his observation, the plants were the most affected. Some of them withered, and ninety percent of mutated plants started growing crazily.

Chang Qingqing and the bearded zombie both wore a serious look. If Lan Lu were right, their base shouldn’t be the only one that suffered the current situation.

Their old base had already been destroyed, but many important supplies were still stored in there. They couldn’t afford to lose those supplies. They needed to build a new base, which sounded so troublesome.

They didn’t know when their crazy leader would stop destroying things…

On the other side, Lin Kui, who was looking for his sister along with Mo and Ye Qingxian, had been heading toward Green Mountain Base. They spent a few days searching for Lin Jing in Mongols Base. However, not a trace of her scent was detected. Therefore, they decided to go to the other bases to try and find her.

First, he decided to try the few bases which were near Mongols Base. Huaxia Base wasn’t a choice. Except for Huaxia Base, Green Mountain Base seemed to be the nearest one. However, Lin Kui didn’t have the detailed location of Green Mountain Base.

Early in the morning, Lin Kui was resting on a tree when something abruptly fell onto his body. Then, he felt that the branch underneath him seem to be moving. With confusion, he looked around and found the tree that he was sitting on was shrinking to the ground.

Lin Kui gave a start, then quickly jumped off the tree.

‘Damn! What the hell! Why is this tree moving! Is it mutated?’

He had carefully chosen a non-mutated tree to rest on last night!

Once he came down, the other two zombies leaped off from two other trees. They had no idea why that large panther always invited them to rest on trees together with himself. They weren’t panthers, so why would they rest on trees?

After coming down, the three zombies stared at the tree that Lin Kui was sitting on and saw that ten-meter-tall, luxuriant tree die. All its leaves turned yellow and fell; even the tree trunk withered and dried out.

Lin Kui witnessed the tree’s death with both surprise and confusion. He was so curious about the reason behind it that his panther ears had popped up and his large tail wagged behind his body.

‘What’s going on?’

Mo poked him with a finger.

Lin Kui turned around and saw her pointing at the surrounding area. Some trees nearby had been growing rapidly. Right at that moment, a shrill cat scream was heard.

“Meowooooo…” Following the cat’s scream was a series of whoosh.

Lin Kui turned back and saw a figure flash across the dead tree, shake off the dead leaves on that tree and then brandish its sharp claws while pouncing on him.

Thud! Lin Kui made half a step backward and slightly turned his upper body, then raised a hand and easily slapped away the mutated cat which had attacked him.

“Meowo!” The cat’s voice was ear-piercing. It was as big as a large dog and had strong limbs. Its sharp claws glistened with a metallic luster, while a layer of black dirt had accumulated at the roots of those hook-shaped claws.

The fierce mutated cat bared his teeth and lowered its ears, growling at Lin Kui ferociously. Its pupils had shrunk and turned into two vertical lines.

“Miaowooo… Miaowooo…” Waves of meows were heard from all directions at different distances. Clearly, a lot of mutated cats were present in that area.

Lin Kui looked at the cat’s eyes with a frown and detected madness from its blood-red eyes. It seemed to be out of its mind.

Normally, mutated animals wouldn’t attack zombies, especially high-leveled ones. Why did that level-four mutated cat attack Lin Kui and his friends so fiercely?

Something wasn’t right!

At that point, a group of cats darted out of the woods. Before long, different sized mutated cats could be seen on the ground and all over the trees nearby.

Cats liked to fight in groups.

“Roar…” Lin Kui flattened his panther ears with displeasure, then bared his teeth and gave those cats a deep roar. His green pupils shrank into erect lines as well. He laid a pressure on those cats and warned them with his predator’s vibe.

As a result, those cats instantly stepped backward while growling back at him, their hair standing straight up.

“Roar…” Lin Kui wagged his tail and gave a raging roar. This time, he made a step forward.

“Miaowoooo…” Those mutated cats seemed to soon collapse. Some smaller ones had turned and run, yet the bigger ones still kept their eyes on Lin Kui.

‘What are you doing? Do mutated animals eat zombies now?’

Lin Kui was utterly confused. He didn’t understand why those mutated cats didn’t run away.

The situation lasted a little longer, but Lin Kui won the confrontation at last. The proud panther slightly raised his chin and lazily wagged his tail while watching those cats fall back further and further, until they all disappeared.

Mo and Ye Qingxian who were expecting an intense cat fight were full of disappointment.
