Chapter 140: My Sister

Lin Chen's words just fell, Xia Nuan's eye sockets were slightly red, and she nodded hard, "I believe, I have always believed.

" Zhao Yu and Zhao Ting stood by, looking at the two, and also breathed a sigh of relief. The thrill just now made them still have lingering fears. The four turned and walked toward the base gate. The guards at the gate saw them and immediately opened the gate to welcome them in.

Just walked into the base,

Lin Chen suddenly heard the system's alarm: 【Warning! Detected three shadow cats not completely killed, are in a stealth state, target locked on Zhao Ting, distance 10 meters!】 Lin Chen's face changed drastically, and he immediately shouted: "Zhao Ting, be careful behind you!"

Zhao Ting hadn't reacted yet when she felt a sharp pain in her back, a shadow cat suddenly appeared,

sharp claws grabbed her shoulder, and she was pounced to the ground. Two other shadow cats also rushed out from the shadows, surrounding Zhao Ting, making low roars.

Zhao Yu saw his sister being attacked and rushed over like crazy, waving the kitchen knife: "Let go of my sister!"

Lin Chen and Xia Nuan also immediately took action. Lin Chen mobilized cold Qi and released it toward the shadow cats, while Xia Nuan quickly changed magazines,

and fired at the shadow cats. But the shadow cats were extremely fast, easily avoiding the attacks, and one of them opened its mouth,

biting toward Zhao Ting's neck, blood instantly gushing out. Zhao Ting let out a shrill scream, her body struggling violently, but she was pressed by the other two shadow cats, unable to move.

"Sister!

" Zhao Yu's eyes were red, rushing up regardless, but was scratched on the arm by a shadow cat and fell to the ground.

Lin Chen looked at the scene in front of him, feeling anxious and angry in his heart. He accelerated the speed of cold Qi release,

and finally froze the claws of a shadow cat. Xia Nuan took the opportunity to fire and killed that shadow cat.

But the remaining two shadow cats were even crazier, one of them biting toward Zhao Ting's chest,

sharp teeth penetrating her body, and the other tearing at her limbs. Zhao Ting's struggle became weaker and weaker, her eyes gradually losing their luster, blood staining the ground red, and even her screams became weak.

Lin Chen finally solved the second shadow cat and was preparing to attack the last one,

but saw that shadow cat holding a bone of Zhao Ting in its mouth, rushing quickly into the shadows outside the base.

Zhao Yu climbed up, staggered to Zhao Ting's side, looking at her incomplete body, bones scattered around, not even able to gather a complete corpse, the whole person collapsed on the ground, making a desperate cry: "Sister! My sister!"

Xia Nuan looked at the tragic scene in front of her,

her face pale, she walked to Lin Chen's side, her voice trembling: "We... we were still a step late." Lin Chen clenched his fists, his heart full of self-blame,

if he could have been faster just now, perhaps Zhao Ting wouldn't have died. He looked at Zhao Yu's collapsed appearance, not knowing what comforting words to say, and could only stand by silently.

Other survivors in the base heard the movement and gathered around, seeing the tragic scene on the ground,

all showing shocked and sympathetic expressions. Someone handed a bottle of water to Zhao Yu, and someone helped to clean up Zhao Ting's residual bones, but found that most of the bones were taken away by the shadow cats, leaving only a few broken bones.

Zhao Yu cried for a long time before slowly calming down. He looked at Lin Chen, his voice hoarse: "Thank you... you guys already tried your best just now, don't blame you." Lin Chen shook his head: "It's because we didn't protect her well, if we could have discovered those shadow cats earlier, it wouldn't have been like this." Zhao Yu didn't speak,

just silently picked up the broken bones on the ground, held them tightly in his arms, and walked toward the outside of the base with empty eyes. He wanted to find those bones that were taken away, even if there was only one piece.

Lin Chen looked at Zhao Yu's back, his heart full of mixed feelings. Such tragedies happen every day in the apocalypse,

all he can do is try his best to protect the people around him and not let such things happen again. Xia Nuan gently patted his shoulder and said softly: "Let's go back,

there are still many things to do, the base's defense still needs to be strengthened, and we can't let mutant creatures like shadow cats mix in again." Lin Chen nodded, followed Xia Nuan toward the villa, but his heart was always thinking about the scene of Zhao Ting being bitten by shadow cats until not even bone dregs were left. That scene was like a thorn, stuck in his heart. ===== CHAPTER 141 =====

"There is still much to do, and the base's defenses need to be strengthened; we cannot allow mutated creatures like the Shadow Cat to sneak in again." Lin Chen nodded and walked toward the villa with Xia Nuan, though in his heart, he kept thinking about the scene where Zhao Ting had been bitten by the Shadow Cat until not even bone fragments remained. That image was like a thorn, piercing his heart.
