Chapter 231 Let the military support
The Rat King thought he was being very discreet, but little did he know that he had already been spotted by the tabby cat out of the corner of its eye. However, the cat pretended not to notice and continued to harvest the trash rats, giving the Rat King plenty of opportunities to get closer.
The Rat King did not disappoint the tabby cat. After a series of twists and turns, it finally managed to get behind the tabby cat and then spat out a mouthful of ice spikes that pierced the tabby cat's back.
However, the tabby cat seemed to have eyes in the back of its head, and it dodged away the instant the ice spikes flew out.
The speed was so fast that the Rat King only caught a glimpse of the opponent's afterimage.
The Rat King paused, looking around to find the tabby cat, but there was no trace of it anywhere he looked.
Suddenly, it felt a chill run down its spine from the back of its head, and its hair stood on end.
I quickly turned around and saw that the tabby cat had appeared behind me at some point, its two copper bell-like eyes staring straight at me, and its sharp front claws were placed on my neck.
The Rat King froze on the spot, not daring to utter a sound, for fear that he would perish if he moved.
Although it didn't sense that the mutated cat in front of it was much stronger than itself, the inherent bloodline suppression still made it feel intimidated.
However, while the Rat King was thinking about how to survive, the tabby cat had no intention of giving it any more time to hide. With just a slight swipe of its paw, the Rat King's head was easily severed.
When the Rat King's head hit the ground, his eyes were still wide open, filled with disbelief.
With the Rat King dead, the other mutated rats, who were already scattered and killed by the mutated cats and then further attacked by the humans on the base's walls, were completely thrown into disarray.
The mutated rat horde that started with four or five hundred thousand has now dwindled to half its original size. The human base in this area has been difficult to conquer, and now there are a few more formidable mutated cats. The mutated rats have immediately backed down.
After a flurry of chatter and shouting, a new leader rat was quickly elected. The new rat king was not strong enough and did not intend to confront the mutated cat and humans head-on. After giving the order, he led the remaining rats to bypass the human base and continue south.
However, the mutated rats tried to escape, but the bloodthirsty mutated calico cats and the warriors of Baijishan Base had no intention of letting them go. So after a barrage of attacks, they left behind tens of thousands of mutated rats.
While the other calico cats were still chasing the mutated rat, the tabby cat had already carried the former rat king's head in its mouth, flashed in front of Zhou Yang, and slapped the rat king's head in front of Zhou Yang with a paw.
Then, as if showing off, she raised her head high and looked at Zhou Yang, as if the words "Praise me" were written all over her neck.
"..."
Seeing this, Zhou Yang couldn't help but admire the tabby cat's swift and decisive action.
It only took a dozen minutes, right? They wiped out the mutated rat swarm, and the process of killing the rat king probably only took a few minutes.
Not only Zhou Yang, but everyone else also looked at these mutated cats with new respect.
I initially thought they were just freeloading cats, but it turns out they're all good cats that can catch mice!
While everyone was still in surprise, the other calico cats returned, having had their fill of killing rats, and squatted behind the tabby cat to groom their fur, which had been ruffled while they were killing the rats.
The kittens, who hadn't made a sound when the tabby cat returned, now cautiously gathered around the calico cats upon seeing them.
Moreover, they all cried out in such a pitiful manner, as if they had been abused by Zhou Yang and the others here, unlike the obedient children who used to huddle together with Zhou Yang for warmth.
Zhou Yang: "..."
Okay, okay, he's just a tool.
Seeing that Zhou Yang didn't respond for a long time, the tabby cat got a little anxious. It meowed at Zhou Yang a few times, pointed with its paw at the mutated rat corpses on several small hills behind it, and then pushed the Rat King's head forward, as if to say: We killed a lot of rats, and I've taken all the spoils. You can't go back on your word!
Seeing this, Zhou Yang touched his nose: "Ahem, I'm not trying to cheat, I'm just considering where it would be more suitable for you to stay."
With so many mutated cats, their team definitely couldn't accommodate them all, and he didn't plan to keep these mutated cats in his space, so the best solution was to hand them over to the base to raise.
Anyway, everyone has witnessed how powerful these mutant cats are, so the military should still be willing to keep them, so that the base won't have to worry about mutant rat infestations in the future.
However, considering that the tabby cat had come for him in the first place, Zhou Yang felt that he should try to fool it first and get it to be willing to follow the military.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yang tentatively said to the tabby cat, "Our house is very small and can't accommodate so many of you. Besides, your family is too large, and there may be even more in the future. We really can't afford to support just a few of you."
But we have tens of thousands of soldiers at our base; they can definitely support you. Why don't you just join the army? Don't worry, the army is full of animal lovers. You just need to help them patrol around the base and control the mutated rats, and they'll provide you with food and lodging, play with you, and groom you!
"So? If you agree, shout it once; if you disagree, shout it twice."
Upon hearing this, the tabby cat tilted its head and thought for a moment, then chose the latter between a few people and tens of thousands of people raising them.
Seeing that the tabby cat had agreed, Zhou Yang instantly breathed a sigh of relief.
At least he got rid of this hot potato, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to handle so many mutated cats; he would have been driven crazy by them.
Although Song Lian and the others behind him had no objection to taking in the mutated cats, seeing the mouths of more than a dozen mutated cats needing to eat made them instantly feel that the days ahead would be even more difficult.
These are all carnivorous ancestors, and they don't like hunting themselves. How are we going to raise them?
Seeing Song Lian sighing behind him, Zhou Yang looked over in confusion and asked, "Why are you sighing?"
"What a worry, the military doesn't have that much meat either..."
"Huh?" Zhou Yang pointed to the mountain of mutated rat corpses behind them in confusion. "Isn't that all meat? Even though you don't eat rats, what's wrong with cats eating rats?"
Upon hearing this, Song Lian's thoughts were immediately opened.
Yes, isn't this just ready-made meat? As long as it's stored properly, it'll be enough for these mutant cats to eat for a long time!
Thinking of this, Song Lian immediately grinned.
After the mutated rat horde passed, the base quickly dispatched teams to clean up the mutated rat corpses.
Upon seeing this, Song Lian quickly stepped forward to negotiate, and then had several ice-type and space-type ability users from the military come out to freeze and collect the mutated rat corpses that had finished collecting the crystal cores.
He then swaggered into the base with this string of mutated cats, letting them choose a place they liked in the military building to make their nests.
