Chapter Seventy-Five: The Mutated Cat of the Last Days
There are many themes in science fiction, among which the apocalyptic class is one of the major categories, the apocalyptic world satisfies people's freedom and mastery of extraordinary power illusions, and at the same time allows people to learn how to survive in a desperate situation, although the skills in it may not be used, but the consciousness of being prepared for danger in times of peace still needs to be there.
The coming of the end times is not the reason of one person, it is mixed with too many conflicts of interest, it is people who have no other way to end the battle by injuring the enemy by injuring one thousand and losing nine hundred and nine, as for the result, the worst is to die together, at least no one succeeds.
Scenario 1: The end times after nuclear war.
Nuclear war, as the name suggests, is a nuclear war, a war dominated by nuclear bombs, which has the characteristics of great destructive power, wide range of influence, and unimaginable consequences. Between mass and energy conversion, a huge amount of energy is released in an instant, generating a high-temperature shock wave in a way that almost shatters space, and then it can also kill the enemy with strong radiation, and its influence is not only the moment of explosion, but will last for years, decades, or even hundreds of years in the future.
A cat that survived, looking for food among the grasses, had not eaten for several days, and its stomach was flattened with hunger. The cat's body length is only more than twenty centimeters, and that's still counting six or seven centimeters of tail. There was a rat hole under another ruined building, and there was a rat of the same size sleeping in it, after all, it was daytime, and the radioactive dust floating in the sky was really not very beautiful.
This little kitten is here for the first time, and it is not familiar with the environment, it sniffs everywhere with its nose, and its tail hanging on the ground swaying slightly from side to side.
Ga! Ga!
There was a crow in the tree by the side of the road, and after a few calls, it flapped its wings and flew away.
What kittens are most afraid of is birds flying in the air, on the one hand, they can't reach them, and on the other hand, they can fly down and peck at them unscrupulously. The kitten jumped to a low wall, and it saw a mouse hole in the corner not far away, and near the hole there were two thin footprints connected by a thread that the mice had stepped on.
The kitten does not know if there are mice in the mouse hole, how many mice there are, and how big the mice are. It didn't dare to risk breaking in directly. After looking around, the kitten was ready to lurk around and see that there was a mouse living in the hole.
The thick clouds in the sky blocked the blazing sun, making the sky appear a pale yellow, and there was no obvious shadow on the ground, and the shadow of the wall could only be seen near where the shot was shot.
The kitten specifically found a higher place, and it knew that rats did not like to climb high, and even less like to climb trees. Historically, most rats have been found in the dark. The kitten lies there, ready to take a nap and wake up at night.
The hard work pays off, the cat just got dark, and when the kitten woke up, he saw a mouse probing his brain at the entrance of the hole, and seemed to be very cautious. The rat is less than ten centimeters long, and its tail alone is more than ten centimeters long. A rat kitten of this physique can still deal with it. Seeing that the mouse on the ground had run away, the kitten continued to observe with a cautious attitude. Sure enough, after a while, another mouse appeared at the entrance of the hole, this one was slightly larger, about thirteen centimeters long if the tail was not counted. The rat did not go in the same direction as the previous one, but ran in a different direction.
After waiting for a while, no rat came out, and the previous rat had already returned, and it was not long before he came back that he went out again. Later, the larger one came back very late, and when it came back, it was obvious that one of its hind legs was not working, as if it had been broken or bitten off.
The kitten is ready to wait no longer and do it now. It jumped lightly, slowly leaned over the corner, and when it was two meters from the hole, it heard a squeaking sound coming from the hole.
This rat hole is not very large, only about fifteen centimeters in diameter, which is not much different from a gate for a kitten. The closer you get to the entrance of the cave, the more pronounced the squeaky rat sounds, the clearer and more beautiful it is. The kitten has already begun to get excited, and it has begun to fantasize about the fragrance of two mice in its mouth.
The kitten walked without making a sound, and came to the edge of the hole, ready to go straight in, and catch whichever was close. Depending on the direction and size of the sound, the kitten estimates the approximate direction and distance. It knows that none of the rat holes are straight, all of them are twisted and turned, and the further it goes, the smaller the hole becomes, and there are forks in some places, and if you don't pay attention to it, you may get lost in it.
The kitten has no less than ten mouse holes, and he is already very experienced in how to catch mice hiding in the holes. It sneaked in, and the squeaking rat inside didn't hear the sound at all, and didn't know that a mouse had crawled into the hole. The kitten climbed in less than half a meter before it encountered the first fork in the road, and according to the voices of the mice, it was the hole on the left, and the kitten chose the hole on the right. It knows that there is no dead end in the rat hole, and that all roads can be circled. The kitten touched it from the other direction, during which there were a few very narrow places, almost stuck the kitten, but fortunately, the cat's body bones were relatively soft, and it was squeezed through with a little force.
The kitten went around in the mouse hole for most of the time, and finally went around the back of the two mice, and took advantage of their unpreparedness to shoot directly. The two mice with their backs to the kitten didn't have time to react at all, they were caught, the small one was bitten by the kitten, and the slightly larger one was slapped on the head by a paw, and when he was about to run, he found that he couldn't run, and it turned out that the kitten had bitten him after biting the little mouse to death.
All of this is to blame for its slow movements, and it is not because its hind legs were pecked by a crow?
Scenario 2: The end of the world after the virus is raging.
It was a summer, and in a vast forest, a fire swept through most of the forest. There are a lot of medicinal herbs in the forest that sell national treasures, and these herbs are extremely valuable when taken out individually. And this fire is not stingy, it will be directly served in a pot. These herbs are supposed to heal and save people, but if you mix the ashes left behind by the burning of some of these herbs, it is a poison. Add to that the water that people spilled when they put out fires and create artificial rainfall, and it's as if sugar melted in hot water.
These medicinal soups are mixed in the soil, and along the route washed by the rain, they merge into the small river, and along the river they flow into the sea. Once the creatures in the water drink this medicine, they will mutate within five or six seconds, and even beautiful and quiet fish will become as fierce and ugly as piranhas, and even vegetarian fish will become carnivores.
When the fish in the river mutate, they will attack other creatures in a frenzy, even the animals on the riverbank. All of a sudden, the entire forest was wiped out.
Those people bitten by mutated fish will not mutate in a short time, but they feel that the bite is very itchy, this itch is not an itch on the surface, but an inner itch, no matter how hard you scratch it, it will not help, and this itch will slowly spread over time, when it spreads to the brain, a hunger and violent desire will crawl out from the depths of the heart, and the first thing people want is to quickly find something to bite.
When a mutated person bites another normal person, people will fight back, and when the counterattack is unsuccessful, those mutated people will become even more violent, and biting alone can no longer satisfy their inner desire, so whether it is trees, dirt or glass plastics, as long as they can bite, they will be swallowed by the mutated person.
A cat that has eaten a mutated fish can't hold it anymore, even if it's lying on the ground, don't forget to bite something with its mouth, it's a bone, I don't know whose it is, anyway, for cats, as long as it can bite.
The mutated cat's teeth grow quickly, and so do the claws on its feet, but the cat will bite the nails on its paws when it is hungry, and it has tasted the paws too many times, and the taste is really bad.
Mutation also has a slow process. In the initial stage, it can only be regarded as a mild infection, and it will be stimulated by certain animal characteristics, and infinitely magnify the inner desire, which is an unconscious state. After the body slowly adapts to this highly excited state, it will enter a moderate infection, the main characteristic of this type of infected person is that they have self-awareness, the skin will turn gray, and the body will become thin, but the brain will work very fast, and the benefit is that the vision, hearing, smell and motor nerves are extremely developed. At this time, the body's energy expenditure and intake reach a certain equilibrium. When this equilibrium is broken, it becomes a severe infection. At this time, the infected person can no longer be called a human being, it is more accurate to be called a vegetative person, its swollen brain, shrinking and degenerative limbs are obvious characteristics, and the life span of the infected person is a few days later, because the speed of brain energy consumption has far exceeded the speed of energy provided by the body, it will make the brain tissue die in a short period of time, just like a big watermelon that is broken from inside, it will not take long to fall apart and turn into an empty shell.
The cat is in its second stage, with its keen sense of smell helping it find a lot of food, and its keen sense of hearing guiding it in the direction of its search for food. Across a tall building, more than a hundred meters away, the kitten heard a crow barking all the time. It is not willing to go to great lengths to catch a flying bird, already full.
The kitten was lying on the side of the road licking its leg hair, and suddenly, a person ran out of the intersection in front of him. The man shook his head and looked left and right, as if looking for something. He spotted the cat lying on the ground on the side of the road and ran over. The cat didn't run, but crawled slowly, stretched, and then jumped up to the second-floor window on the side of the road. The mutated human ran past and saw the cat jump to a high place, and could only jump up and down below, but it couldn't reach it.
At this time, a car drove up in the distance. The car was surrounded by an iron fence, and someone on the roof of the car leaned out of his upper body, drew an arrow, put it on a bow, pulled it full, and looked at it carefully. As soon as the car approached, the man let go.
As the car sped past the mutated human, a bow flew towards his left eye.
Boom!
The mutated human was pinned to the wall, unable to break free no matter how hard he struggled.
The kitten's head spun as the car moved, and when the car turned into a nearby intersection, it looked back down. The kitten only heard a whoosh, so he jumped off the windowsill to see what the people in the car were doing to the mutated human.
After jumping down, the kitten saw that the mutated human was stretching its neck and pulling forward, but its head was hanging on the bow and arrow, and it couldn't get down. Seeing this mutated human being so uncomfortable, the kitten is ready to help him, after all, at the same time, the end of the world has fallen into people, why should we have met before.
The kitten jumped on the mutant's shoulder, bit the tail of the bow and arrow with his mouth, and pulled it out hard, and the mutant human was not honest and reached out to catch the kitten. After a few attempts, the kitten found that he couldn't pull it off, so he jumped off his shoulder and walked back and forth beside him. At this time, the kitten looked up and noticed that there was a window sill that was about to fall off directly above, and thought of a good idea. So, the kitten jumped on the crumbling windowsill and kicked it a few times.
The windowsill, which was already broken, fell down with a hula under a few feet of the kitten, impartially, and landed right on the bow and arrow between the mutant and the wall. With a click, the bow and arrow were smashed. The mutated human took a few steps forward as it broke free, almost falling to the ground. He pulled half of his arrow out of his left eye and threw it on the ground. The kitten thought it had saved him, so he felt that he would not hurt himself, so he jumped off the windowsill.
When the mutated humans saw the cat jumping down, they ran over to catch the cat with their teeth and claws. When the cat saw it, it was ungrateful, and it turned around and slipped away.
The running speed of a mutant cat in the second stage is not comparable to that of a mutant human in the first stage, even if it gives up its two legs, it chases a lot. The kitten running in front of it stopped and stopped, and from time to time looked back at the mutant humans who were still chasing after them.
When he came to an intersection, the kitten saw the car from before. At this time, the car was parked on the side of the road, and the person who leaned out half of his body on the roof saw the kitten that appeared at the intersection and beckoned the others to hurry up.
The kitten glanced back at the mutated human who ran over, and suddenly thought of a fun one. So, the kitten ran towards the car. When the people in the car saw it, they cheered one after another, and one of them even got out of the car to catch the kitten. The kitten dodged directly and ran into the grass on the side of the road and disappeared. As the man bent over the bushes to look for it, he looked up and saw the mutated human who appeared at the intersection, and he was so frightened that he quickly took several steps back and ran back to the car, so he was ridiculed by his companions for being timid.
After the human mutation, the memory is still there, he will not hurt what is good to him, and he will take revenge if he is not good to himself.
The enemy's eyes were very red when they saw it, and the mutated human roared and ran directly towards the car. The man on the roof of the car pulled out his bow and arrow again, muttering: I shot your right eye, see if you can still see it.
This mutant likes to shake his head from side to side when he runs, and he looks silly.
After aiming for a long time, the bow and arrow flew past his ears.
When the others saw it, they burst out laughing and laughed at the man's inaccurate shot.
The one with the bow and arrow was enraged, and aimed directly at the chest with a shot.
Yikes!
The bow pierced the mutant's chest, only to take two steps back. The mutant ignored the bow and arrow stuck in his chest and continued to run towards the car.
Sou!
Another bow and arrow came and struck the chest again, this time with a bit of accuracy, grazing the heart.
The mutant man stopped, gasping for breath and glaring at the man who was only five meters away with his only right eye.
Hey, you still dare to stare at me? See if I don't shoot you in the right eye?
The man on the roof of the car was glared at all over, so he drew his bow and shot arrows.
Sou!
The bow and arrow fly extremely fast, and the distance of five meters is also a matter of an instant.
What the? it? it! Depend on!
Not only was the person on the roof of the car surprised, but the people in the car also exclaimed.
The mutant human slowly drew out the two bows and arrows stuck in his chest with his hands, and threw them directly at the man not far away.
The two bows and arrows were returned, one in the forehead of the man on the roof of the car, and the other in the chest, and the dead could not die again.
Damn! ,,! Hurry up and drive, hurry up and run!
The people in the car immediately panicked and hurriedly started the car.
Congratulations to the mutant man for successfully entering the second stage, only to see him jump up and land heavily on the back of the car.
Rumble!
The car was smashed high, which shows how strong it is.
The mutant man tore open the rear window glass with his bare hands, grabbed a man from inside, and bit him on the neck. The man who was caught caught, cried and cried, but it was useless, and his fate had changed the moment he was bitten on the neck. The mutant man took a few bites, felt his strength again, reached out again, and grabbed another person from the car. As the man struggled, he picked up a bow and arrow from his side and stabbed it in the mutant's arm.
The mutant came back to his senses and pulled out the bow and arrow from his arm. At this point, the car suddenly starts, causing the mutant to roll out of the car. The mutant stood up from the ground and nonchalantly drew his bow and arrow in his arm, while his right eye was fixed on the speeding car in the distance, he closed his eyes and relied on his ears to make out the car's position. He judged the direction and speed of the car by the changes in the volume and frequency of the sound it emitted. The mutant opened his eyes, tilted his head, looked into the distance, and ran directly into a store, from which there was a crackling sound, and then he saw the mutant running out of the back of the store and running towards the viaduct in the distance.
The little kitten who had been standing on the roof from beginning to end saw the changes from the mutant to the mutant all the time, and when he saw that the mutant was about to disappear and then be in his field of vision, he jumped down and followed.
Hurry! Hurry up!
There were two other people in the car, in addition to the person in charge of driving, there was also a person in the passenger seat who was shouting vigorously, and the one who was killed by two bows and arrows in the first place had already been thrown out of the car.
Don't shout, it's already the fastest speed! If you want to hurry up, you don't get out of the car and run by yourself!
The driver was also panicked, but the loud noise next to him made him upset.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a figure appeared directly in front of the car, and the car did not brake and hit it directly.
Kill him! Kill him!
Boom!
The mutant pressed his hands against the front of the car, and his body followed backwards, and just as he was about to hit the pillar behind him, the mutant jumped up and jumped onto the front cover of the car, and at the same time put his hands together and poked the front windshield of the car, and then twisted his hands at the same time, picking at the window. The car hit a pillar on the side of the road and stopped, and the two people sitting inside were already stupefied.
The mutant tore it on both sides with all his might, directly split the car window in two, threw it on the ground, and then grabbed the necks of the two people inside and leaned hard against the middle.
Boom!
It's like two watermelons colliding together, and the sound of skulls shattering is crisp and pleasant. The two of them died directly.
The mutant dragged the two men out of the car, laid them flat on the car, and then gently scratched the chest of one person with his fingers, then separated the epidermis with his hands, and then broke the sternum inside, grabbing a bloody heart. The other one is also concocted.
At this time, there was a sound of squirming footsteps behind him, and the mutant looked back to see that it was the little kitten, the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing a smile, and then he threw a heart towards the kitten.
The kitten jumped out of the bridge, bit the heart that was thrown in mid-air, landed steadily, and ran to the feet of the mutant. The mutant crouched down, touched the kitten, and bit the other heart.
At this time, on a street lamp pole not far away, a crow quacked.
The mutant stood up, looked at the half-eaten heart in his hand, looked up and threw it at the crow. The crow flew down from the lamppole, grabbed the thrown heart with its claws, and threw it upwards with its beak.
In this way, a person, a cat and a crow formed a strange team, facing the sunset and going into the distance.
At this point, the mutant stopped, fumbled in his pocket for a moment, pulled out a card, and threw it behind him. The card flew far in the air, and after it landed, it was possible to read the words on it.
It turned out to be an ID card.
Finish.
