Chapter Twenty-Four: Cat

BIA slowly picked up the initiator of the voice from the rubble.

It was a black kitten that looked like it was only four or five months old.

"Is this, a cat?" SQE, who was on the side, asked curiously.

"The blood is red, at least not Leviathan," GWL analyzed.

"But this little guy is too small." VLS said.

"I can't believe it's survived on its own in this place for so long." GWL sighed.

"It's really pitiful." BIA gently stroked the kitten in her arms.

"What should I do? It's too dangerous to put it in these places. VLS asked.

After thinking for a moment, BIA said, "Can you put it on Island?" This will allow it to live safely. ”

"Well, you can try." GWL said.

"It's like, it's injured now, will it attract Leviathan on the road?" SQE asked.

BIA responded: "It's okay, we should be able to handle it, no matter how bad it is, there will be ......"

At this moment, everyone seemed to realize something, and looked at RBS who was standing aside.

After a moment of reaction, RBS understood what the others meant, and explained, "It's not Leviathan, it's not in my purge, whatever." ”

At the same time, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Then complete the exploration mission as soon as possible and send it to the island as soon as possible." BIA advised.

"Understood." The three responded in unison.

"Are you sure you want to do that?" RBS asked.

"That's better than letting it risk every day here." BIA retorted.

She hadn't really thought about the meaning of RBS's words at all, she just felt that his words were very uncomfortable.

After a moment, RBS slowly responded, "Understood." ”

——

In this way, the group centered on BIA holding the kitten, and the formation around the other four people marched smoothly.

Because the kitten was injured, they also met a lot of Leviathan along the way, but fortunately, the level was from D to E, and they were all single-minded, so they were still able to deal with it relatively easily.

In the least amount of time possible, they completed the exploration mission and returned to the island.

After briefly briefing the researchers on the kitten, BIA reluctantly boarded her cabin.

But just as the hatch was about to close, the kitten suddenly broke free from the researcher's arms and ran to BIA's feet.

"What's the situation with you?" BIA ASKED, PICKING UP THE KITTEN.

"It looks like it wants you to take it back." RBS, who has not yet boarded the cabin, said.

"I really can't help you, so let's go together." BIA said doting to the kitten.

"Are you sure?" RBS asked suddenly.

"It's my own business, I don't need you to take care of it!" BIA snapped a warning.

RBS didn't say anything more, just silently boarded its own cabin and closed the hatch.

"Let's go, cutie." As she spoke, BIA held the kitten in one hand and operated it with the other, closing the hatch of her cabin.

In this way, Towrope, which was carrying five people, flew into the air under the worried gaze of the researchers on the ground.

The horizon gradually coincides with the sky, after intersecting with the darkness of space. BIA hugged the kitten and said, "Look, this is the planet you live on, and we will take you to your new home in a while, where there is no threat from Leviathan, and everyone gets along very well."

Kittens, kittens? ”

Shangguan Jing suddenly felt that the soft little life in her arms was slowly becoming stiff, and as she completely got rid of the gravitational pull of the earth, a crystal red ice crystal slowly floated into her field of vision.

She suddenly sensed that something was wrong.

BIA LOWERED HER HEAD AND LOOKED AT THE KITTEN IN HER ARMS, AND SHE SUDDENLY NOTICED THAT THE KITTEN'S BLACK FUR HAD A LAYER OF WHITE FROST ON THE KITTEN'S BLACK HAIR.

"Kittens? What's wrong with you kitten? BIA called out with some anxiety.

But the kitten in her arms didn't give her a response.

At this time, BIA's heart suddenly became anxious.

But now, there is still a long way to go before the return trip is completely completed.

……

——

After Island has completely completed docking with Lighthouse, BIA's loading bay has been removed from the Towrope and immediately teleported back to the main body.

On the other side, Shangguan Jing, who had already regained consciousness, hurriedly took off his helmet, staggered up from the preparation seat, and ran desperately to Gnaku.

——

After watching his Ark being slowly transported to the designated location, Shangguan Jing immediately swiped open the hatch of the carrying compartment with his identity card.

The hatch was slowly opened, but Shangguan Jing didn't have the patience to wait for it to open completely, and hurriedly entered the gap and snatched the kitten's frozen body from BIA's arms.

"Kitten! Kitten? Shangguan Jing was still calling, and tears flowed out of her eyes at some point.

However, the kitten did not respond.

Shangguan Jing knelt helplessly on the ground and hugged the kitten even tighter.

Her sobs grew louder and louder, until they resounded throughout Gnaku.

Although it was just a few hours, she rushed to the heartache, and this encounter in less than half a day played back and forth in her mind.

From just seeing it, to escorting it all the way, to following yourself into the carrying cabin......

Yes, she killed the kitten.

If it wasn't for my own reasons at the time, if it wasn't for my own selfish desires, maybe the kitten wouldn't have had such an accident.

Suddenly, RBS's previous reminders of herself on Earth kept ringing in her ears.

At this moment, she understood.

RBS had anticipated this situation for a long time, but did not make it clear.

Shangguan Jing didn't know his purpose, but at this time, Shangguan Jing's resentment towards RBS also increased with this incident.

Finally, resentment outweighed grief, and anger evaporated tears.

It was the first time that Shangguan Jing felt so disgusted with a person.

And all this is also in the eyes of Bai Qi, who has just come to Gnaku.

——

The next day, Shangguan Jing stood under a tree in the garden. The little black cat was sleeping under the small dirt bag on the ground in front of him.

She then left the garden, just because she wanted to escape the harsh reality as soon as possible.

After that, under her constant self-blame and resentment towards RBS, Shangguan Jing unconsciously walked to the seemingly empty viewing platform.

Coming here, Shangguan Jing saw the light of the blue earth outside the distant window, and finally came back to his senses from the two clear rounds of bombardment.

"Senpai, are you there?" Shangguan Jing asked suddenly.

As expected, Bai Qi, who was hiding in the shadows, slowly walked out: "Is there anything to find me?" ”

But Shangguan Jing was not surprised, and said with a wry smile: "Senior, can you chat with me?" ”

Bai Qi nodded.

Then, Shangguan Jing walked to the window and began to slowly confide in RBS about his bad experience all day.

After listening to this, Bai Qi analyzed: "Because the temperature in space is too low, Ark's pain simulator can't detect temperature changes, so there is no constant temperature equipment installed in the cabin. ”

"Senior, do you think it's my fault?" Shangguan Jing ignored Bai Qi's analysis and asked.

Bai Qi replied: "I don't know, maybe there's nothing wrong with your purpose, it's just that there is something wrong with the way." ”

"I just heard this sentence a while ago, and it seems that Zhao Zihan's mother said it when she came to her." Shangguan Jing replied with a reluctant smile.

Bai Qi responded: "Human beings seem to be like this. For the person or something they love, it is difficult for some people to take into account the feelings of the other person, and they just blindly fill in the other party with what they think is good. ”

"All human beings are like this! It seems that the seniors' ability to coax people is still poor. Shangguan Jing joked.

Although this is an undeniable fact.

"I'm just telling the truth." Bai Qi said.

"Poof, okay, it's my own passion." Shangguan Jing's face finally smiled again.

Bai Qi, who didn't understand Shangguan Jing's meaning at all, suddenly asked, "Then, you hate ......?"

"It's not hate, it's disgust!" Shangguan Jing suddenly interrupted Bai Qi's words and corrected, "That guy from RBS, I really can't tolerate him anymore now. A lot of his behavior has really started to make me sick. ”

Hearing this, Bai Qi didn't say anything more.

"Thank you, senior." Shangguan Jing turned around and thanked him: "Thank you, senior, for your willingness to listen to my complaints and comfort me." I'm feeling better now.

I'm a little tired today, so I'll go back first, senior, you've worked hard. ”

After speaking, Shangguan Jing walked out of the observation deck quickly.

And Bai Qi's heart at this time was splashed with ripples for the first time by Shangguan Jing's words just now.

——

Shangguan Jing walked briskly back to the dormitory, and as soon as he entered the door, he leaned weakly against the door.

"Captain, are you alright?" Zhao Zihan asked with concern.

"Whew, it's alright." Shangguan Jing exhaled deeply: "It's time for me to learn from you, obviously if you encounter something that is upset, you can forget it all as long as you sleep." ”

"Captain, you actually ......," Zhao Zihan persuaded.

"Oops, it's okay!" Shangguan Jing hurriedly said, "We have already buried the remains of the kitten yesterday.

Although we couldn't have predicted this terrible future at the beginning, at least we did our best to make amends.

Now there is nothing to regret.

There's really nothing to regret......"

Shangguan Jing's voice became smaller and quieter.

Zhao Zihan didn't say anything anymore.

"It's okay, I'll rest first. I haven't had a nap in days, so I'm going to take advantage of it! After speaking, Shangguan Jing walked quickly to the bed and plunged into the pillow.

After the air was quiet for a moment, Shangguan Jing's body twitched unconsciously, as if he was silently fighting against his own tears.

And Zhao Zihan, who saw it in his eyes, also silently walked to Shangguan Jing's bedside, sat beside her, and silently accompanied her.
