Chapter 300: Adventures in the Basement

On this hot noon, the sun shone mercilessly on the ruins. The ruins smelled of scorched paste, suffocating the living beings. Like a merciless fire, devouring everything cleanly.

In a corner of a deserted city, a small mouse hides tremblingly, afraid of being discovered by the harsh surroundings and predators. It was too hot, and his stomach was so hungry.

He's just an ordinary rat, and like most people, animals have most abilities that can't awaken. For this animal, the large predators have basically become extinct within a hundred years, because the predators may have had special abilities, and they basically do not live long without food.

It's the same with predators. Their bodies are too big and their targets are too big, making them easy for predators to find and round up. After all, who doesn't like to pinch soft persimmons?

Only small creatures can survive in this environment, occasionally rubbing a bite of food. This rat is like this, but he reminds that he is small, and he is destined to be inseparable from the ruins of the deserted city in his life.

However, despite the ruins, there are also some bounty hunters, and the soldiers who came to garrison them, and the little food scraps they left behind are the capital of their lives. Sometimes the corpses killed in battle are not unavoidable, but that kind of thing is hard to find.

The mouse was so hungry that he had been looking for it all night, and he couldn't find even a little bit of food, even during the day, and he had to continue running around for the sake of food. But now at noon, he had no choice but to stay here to avoid the hottest time.

Suddenly, a skinny but agile orange cat quietly approached. This orange cat also came out to forage, the difference is that she has eaten enough, and now she is foraging for the children at home. Her sense of smell was so keen that she could already smell a rat here.

The orange cat's pupils dilated, his eyes swept back and forth, and he slowly walked step by step to find it, and finally locked on to the little mouse hiding in the corner. The cat moved lightly, its tail wagging, as if planning its next move.

The rat sensed the danger in front of it, but was restrained by fear, its heart was beating rapidly, its whole body trembled, and its eyes revealed deep fear. Unable to react immediately. It tightens its body as much as it can, hiding in the shadows in the corners, trying to distract the cat.

The cat continued to approach slowly, its eyes flashing with the predator's coldness and perseverance. Its body was slightly close to the ground, and its claws were gently poked out, ready to attack.

Just as the cat was about to pounce on the mouse, the mouse suddenly rushed out of the corner at lightning speed, trying to escape. But cats have a keen sense of smell and react quickly. It instantly launched an all-out pursuit.

The rats ran desperately, quickly through the wreckage and obstacles in the ruins. However, the orange cat is faster, and she deftly shuttles between the ruins, constantly closing in on the mouse.

Suddenly, the orange cat's eyes flashed, and a powerful electric current passed through the mouse's body, causing it to instantly stiffen and let out a mournful roar.

The impact of the electric current caused great damage, and the rat's body became weak and his vision blurred. It fainted to the ground, powerless to resist.

The orange cat also seized the opportunity, but he was afraid that the mouse was just pretending to faint and was waiting for an opportunity to fight back. You know, the scar on her forehead was left not long ago.

So, the cat once again played the instinctive move of the feline, first slapping its paws on the mouse's body, and using its paws to probe. I saw the rat struggle weakly a few times and collapse to the ground.

The orange cat took the opportunity to bite the back of the mouse's neck, and with a hard effort, it made a crisp bone sound, and the mouse's neck was bitten off. After making sure that the mouse was out of breath, the orange cat quickly ran back.

The orange cat carefully latched on to the mouse and quickly passed through the hot ruins, not far from home. The high temperature and heat wave along the way make the cat's feet ooze sweat beads and breathe rapidly, but they can't stick out their tongues to lower their body temperature, but fortunately, there are not many sweat glands on the cat's tongue, mainly concentrated on the soles of the feet, and the impact is not very large.

The sun relentlessly hits the orange cat's fur, giving it a heavy burden. It feels the sensation of its body being scorched, and the soles of its feet sometimes come into contact with the scorching debris, causing the orange cat to writhe its body involuntarily.

Although the orange cat felt the torture of the heat, it endured tenaciously and did not dare to let up. For the orange cat, the children in the house need food, which is what drives it to keep going.

A litter of four cats, two kittens have died of hunger. The remaining two kittens are her last offspring, and the orange cat doesn't want any more accidents with these two kittens, so she rushes home.

The orange cat quickly descended, stepping on the gravel of the cement staircase, and the stones collided with a faint sound, as if telling the past of the ruins. The cat's paws are delicately attached to each step to maintain balance.

The basement is full of shade and humidity, which is perfect on a hot day. Plus it's safe, and even if it might be a little wet, it's the best place to call home.

The orange cat is holding a mouse, and she is happy to go home. But when she turned the corner to the basement, she suddenly found two humans asleep there unaware. One of them was still snoring at the moment, as if telling her that this was his home.

The cat's eyes widened, and it stopped, unable to believe what was happening before it. It felt a deep shock and confusion inside. The ruins she had chosen as her home had little to no human and large monster activity, and now it was facing this bizarre scene.

The fur stands upright, and the cat stands stiffly, trying to make sense of everything in front of it. She guessed that the humans might have come here to escape the heat and sleep here.

But at this moment, a wave of worry welled up in the cat's heart. The orange cat thinks worriedly about the children she has worked so hard to raise. These innocent and fragile kittens are the most important part of her life, having already lost two children, and she doesn't want to lose the last two more.

However, the sight in front of the cat created fear. She began to imagine that the sleeping humans might have found her home in the basement before they arrived, and might have even killed her children.

This worry rises from the depths of the orange cat's heart, making it feel uneasy and anxious. She desperately wants to make sure her children are alive. She has been alive in this world for more than ten years, and now she has reached the A level.

But she has never successfully raised a litter of children. In the final analysis, it is because of her small burden. Cats tend to be bold and curious creatures, but there are also some who are timid, such as this female orange cat.

She only dared to bully rats, sparrows and other creatures that were much smaller than her. When it comes to creatures that are slightly larger than her, she doesn't dare to touch them, even if her abilities are more than the other party's.

The orange cat once beat a dog much bigger than her. Because of her timidity, the dog thought that she had no abilities like herself, but was finally killed by the orange cat. But even with this experience, she still didn't dare to attack creatures larger than her.

In this case, she thinks of making sure that her child is still alive, and if she is dead, she will not hesitate to give up this place and find another place to live and start life again.

The orange cat made a small, purring sound. Since cats have far better hearing and eyesight than humans, she doesn't think this small sound will attract the attention of two sleeping people.

And these two kittens are also very sensible. When they heard the movement, some saw that it was not their mother who came back. The two of them, who inherited their mother's timidity, found a dark corner and reported to the group, and never made any more sounds, for fear of attracting the attention of humans.

Now I hear my mother's voice, but I realize that my mother hasn't come back yet. The two of them only dared to walk out slowly, gently, and only dared to poke their heads out slowly to see what was going on.

The cat's vision is excellent, and in this dark environment, the orange cat clearly sees her two children poking their heads out of the way in a well-behaved but timid way.

The orange cat and the two children both saw each other, and at the same time they both saw the two sleeping humans, and they didn't make any sound, just looked at each other and thought of what to do.

The orange cat confirmed his guess even more, these two people must have just come in to escape the heat, and they will definitely leave when it gets dark. In Orange Cat's opinion, she should sneak back and hide in the innermost basement with her children until the two of them are gone.

The orange cat decided to be vigilant and try not to attract the attention of humans. It stepped lightly on its tiptoes, intending to carefully bypass the two humans, trying to return to its own home, as safe as possible for itself and its children.

But at this moment, Yan Hanjun opened his eyes.

Ye Ning was really tired, he fell into a deep sleep, and the snoring just now was caused by him, which was a symbol of exhaustion.

But Yan Hanjun was a light sleeper, and he woke up after being shocked by Ye Ning's sudden snoring for a few seconds. Wake up, it's better to see what time it is, and then make the next decision.

As soon as Yan Hanjun opened his eyes, he saw the green eyes of the orange cat, and they were not far from him, not only looking at himself, but also trying to get closer.

For a moment, the air was embarrassed.

Yan Hanjun rounded his arm and slapped Ye Ning's skin, waking Ye Ning up. At the same time, Yan Hanjun also shouted loudly, firstly, to make Ye Ning quickly sober up, and secondly, Ye Ning quickly realized the situation:

"Ye Ning! There's a monster coming! ”
