Chapter 202: Good Friends (Alliance Leader Bonus 10/10)

~7 min read 1,259 words

Meow……

A white light flashed past.

If it were normal, Chen Mu would have already retreated back to his room by now.

Whenever Du Jia Jia returned, others dared not stay outside the door.

After all, even if the cat didn't mean to hurt anyone, it wouldn't pay much attention to anyone besides Du Jia Jia; if it stepped on someone, it just stepped on them, there's no reasoning with it, and you can't demand compensation from Du Jia Jia.

However, this time.

This cat's meow sounded to Chen Mu like heavenly music.

Little White has returned.

And even faster than it was a huge yellow figure.

Little Yellow didn't even notice the group of humans on the ground, but such a large toad was certainly seen.

Without thinking, it went up and took a bite.

That half-grown toad had no chance to resist; in an instant the cat had it in its mouth.

At the same time, due to its excessive speed, Little Yellow's claws had already come down onto the heads of the Qingbei crowd.

Chen Mu's position was relatively near the door; at this moment he deliberately stepped back two steps, so as long as Little Yellow didn't intentionally hit the door, it posed little threat to him.

The Qingbei people instantly scattered and fled.

Nevertheless, two people were firmly stepped on by the cat's claws, their life or death unknown.

Chen Mu saw it clearly.

Tong Bin's position was right under the cat's claws, and just as Little Yellow lunged halfway, he had already darted to the side, narrowly escaping by a hair's breadth.

This kind of precognitive ability, Chen Mu was very familiar with.

Because he himself could do that.

Obviously, for a powerful Special Ability user, ability is only one aspect; the insight granted by mental power might be even more important.

Take Chen Mu as an example: although Special Ability can help him solve many problems, in combat, without the ability to slow his perception of time, any sudden danger could easily take his life.

However, to reach that level, mental power must have a certain foundation.

From the current situation, Tong Bin's mental power is not much inferior to his.

This person is indeed formidable.

I don't know how strong Song Yu and the girl named Xia Qing are.

The toad was held in Little Yellow's mouth, its white belly turned outward, its legs kicking continuously, yet the cat paid no heed, simply gripping it tightly and not letting go, while it wandered about as if looking for more prey.

The two people stepped on by the Qingbei appear not to have died.

The cat's paw pads are relatively thick, which in fact saved their lives, but serious injury is certain.

Besides those two, the Special Ability user controlling the toad behind Tong Bin suddenly spat a mouthful of blood, bent over, looking pained.

Quite obvious.

It is because the toad was attacked, suffering a backlash itself.

Thus, this ability, while strong, is also dangerous.

After all, toads are far from strong among animals, and wandering outside makes it easy to encounter predators.

I just don't know whether, if he promptly severed his link with the toad, he could avoid the backlash, and whether re-controlling another toad or other animal would require further acclimation.

Chen Mu leisurely stood aside, also pondering these questions.

On the observation platform.

Dong Junwei and the others kept a close watch on Chen Mu, ready to lay down covering fire at any move by the Qingbei people.

As for Chen Mu, he can now instantly envelop his body in stainless steel; unless directly hit by a grenade, a few steel pellets pose no threat to him.

Dong Junwei guessed that Chen Mu meant the same.

The Qingbei people certainly wouldn't expect us to launch an attack while their companions are still outside; this might be a good opportunity.

Of course, if the Qingbei showed no extreme reaction, or if Chen Mu gave no signal, Cao Zishan and the shells on the observation platform would not dare to tilt recklessly.

However, before they could act, Zhao Xiao Yan's sharp eyes already saw Du Jia Jia returning.

After pointing it out to Dong Junwei, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Once Little Yellow returned, all was well.

Especially that toad, it's probably in for bad luck.

Indeed, the fact is exactly so.

Little Yellow is at the age of growing its body and practicing hunting; encountering such a toad, it certainly wouldn't miss it, and unlike before when it toyed with prey, this time it simply clamped down and refused to let go.

Little White is much more refined.

Because it was still carrying Du Jia Jia, its movements appeared even more gentle and attentive.

Having reached the doorway, it lowered its body beside Chen Mu.

The glass box on its neck happened to fall to the ground.

Du Jia Jia opened the pin from inside and jumped out in one motion.

Upon seeing the toad in Little Yellow's mouth no longer struggling much, she exclaimed: 'Little Yellow, you're eating random things again, such a disgusting thing—spit it out quickly.'

I don't know whether Little Yellow understood or felt Du Jia Jia's displeasure, but it truly spat out the toad in one gulp, which fell to the ground.

That toad wasn't dead yet, but was already at death's door; when it arrived it had been hopping, but now it could only crawl along the ground, its movements extremely slow, trembling.

Even so, Little Yellow had no intention of letting it go; after it crawled two steps, it scooped it up again with a paw.

Du Jia Jia was about to habitually stop Little Yellow's 'cruel' behavior—countless small animals had survived these days thanks to her kindness—when Chen Mu intercepted her.

'What's going on?'

Perhaps because she had just gotten off the cat and hadn't yet adjusted to the human perspective, Du Jia Jia only now noticed that the area before her was in disarray, filled with many people.

"These are Qingbei's people." Chen Mu gave no further explanation, seizing the moment of their disorder, he asked Du Jia Jia, "Can you order Little Yellow to trample or bite one of them to death?"

Ah?

Du Jia Jia was startled by Chen Mu's suggestion, but she immediately grasped the seriousness of the situation, yet she still wore a bitter face and said, "If I truly felt hatred or loathing toward those people in my heart, Little Yellow might help me fight, but I simply don't know them—I can't pretend, let alone single out a specific person."

Chen Mu nodded, also having anticipated this result.

At that moment, the people of Qingbei gradually gathered together again.

Among everyone, only Tong Bin retained some composure; the rest were still shaken, their eyes darting back and forth between Chen Mu and the two cats.

They had to tend to their seriously wounded companion, guard against Chen Mu, and also watch the two cats—even though they knew such vigilance was pointless.

Chen Mu watched the disheveled Qingbei crowd, feeling relieved yet also somewhat puzzled.

Looking at them, they actually seemed truly unaware of the two cats' existence.

Logically speaking.

This shouldn't be the case.

But right now there's no time to worry about that.

He grabbed Du Jia Jia and, speaking leisurely to Tong Bin, said:

"Let me introduce her—her name is Du Jia Jia."

Then he pointed to Little Yellow and Little White.

"These two big guys are also her good friends."
