Ch10 - Cooperative Cat Paws

Li Zhen’s precision instruments really surprised Fang He. But it also made Fang He feel more and more sad. Even if Li Zhen had twice as many instruments and equipment, he would not be able to save himself.

After all, Fang He knew that only after a few years of the apocalypse did they manage to established a laboratory in City A base. All surviving relevant experts, in coordination with various parties, were brought together. 

Those people used anyone as an experiment without any scruples. However, it took several years to invent a reversal vaccine to solve this virus. And the most developed vaccine only made some people’s blood developed some sort of resistance that could barely withstand the virus and could only prolong the zombification. And it’s a powerful medicine that lasts only for half a month.

However, at this moment, Fang He was comforted by Li Zhen when he should have been the one feeling nervous. Li Zhen’s hand seemed to have magical powers. He stroked his fur, running his hand along his back, then occasionally scratching him, and sometimes rubbing his belly causing Fang He’s whole cat to relax.

It’s just that Fang He could clearly feel that the temperature of Li Zhen’s palm was getting colder and colder. This kind of awareness makes Fang He sad. Li Zhen’s zombification seems to take longer than the average person infected with the virus, but the obvious symptoms of zombification have not changed.

After waiting for half an hour, Li Zhen stood up holding Fang He in his arms. The instrument finally completes the separation and the analysis of the blood, and the complex structure of the virus is displayed on the monitor connected to the instrument. 

When Li Zhen saw the virus structure, Fang He could feel his hold tightened around him slightly. His already cold expression became even colder, and he was obviously holding back his anger.

Fang He looked at the monitor. Although he seemed familiar with this kind of thing, with his meager knowledge, it was difficult for him to understand the structure of this virus. Fang He stretched out his paw and pressed Li Zhen’s wrist, meowing twice.

Li Zhen took a deep breath and sat down slowly. Looking at his already paler arms, a wry smile flashed across his mouth.

Li Zhen’s expression looked very wrong. Fang He climbed up a bit, following Li Zhen’s arm, then raised his head to face Li Zhen. At least say something, what exactly do you see?

Li Zhen fixedly looked at Fang He’s eyes. The doubts reflected from that green cat’s eyes calmed him slightly, and he reached out to rub He-miao’s little kitty head. He took the other syringe, and spoke in a low but gentle voice, “He-miao, I’m going to do a test for you. Don’t be afraid.”

Fang He nodded violently, and stretched out his white cat’s paw in cooperation.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.

The kitten, He-miao’s movements made Li Zhen pause slightly, and his sharp eyes glanced at his family He-miao. Then he continued to hold He-miao’s paw and took half a tube of its blood as well.

This kind of extraterrestrial bacteria was brought by a meteorite, but he doesn’t know where the people from that research institute got those meteorites. The composition and structure of the meteorites are strange and unpredictable.

In some of the research materials that Li Zhen saw, this kind of virus can cause a person’s body to undergo an abnormal change, producing an abnormality causing a mutation similar to that of a superpowers. And those who failed the experiment became zombified living dead. 

When working overtime to do an autopsy last night, he found that the victim seemed to have traces of that extraterrestrial bacteria on his body. But he didn’t have the corresponding equipment, so he could only make preliminary speculations.

However, the test results now told him that he has been infected with a strain that can actually become a virus, and this extraterrestrial virus has mutated.

How did this virus spread? After the institute was controlled, obviously all the data and research materials were destroyed, and even the two mutants have been held in special custody. So why did this virus reappear after all these years?

Moreover, this virus has undergone mutation. If he, Li Zhen, still had time, he would have been able to detect the mode of transmission of this virus. 

However, looking at his already ghastly pale complexion, Li Zhen knew that he was running out of time. Sooner or later, he will also become a zombie that feeds on human flesh.

Fang He couldn’t understand Li Zhen’s reaction. He looked at Li Zhen’s eyes that began to turn red, and felt more and more sad. He originally hoped for some miracles, perhaps some kind of accident that would make Li Zhen not to zombify anymore or something.

But Li Zhen does not have the energy to think about these problems anymore. His movements have begun to stiffen, and he also sensed that his consciousness was beginning to be infested.

Li Zhen looked down at Fang He for a while. This is a clever kitten, if possible, he would really want to know what other surprises his family Ha-miao will give him. 

However, his time may be running out. This virus is not only potent in humans, but is also fatal to animals.

According to the data from that research institute, there is no possibility that the virus will mutate animals. Animals infected with this virus will only zombified, otherwise, the institute would not be in such a high rate of failure. So they crazily experimented with the human body.

Therefore, Li Zhen took advantage of the time when his consciousness was clear, and walked out of the laboratory holding his He-miao. He rubbed the kitten’s head again, then walked directly to the door of his house.

When Li Zhen slowly put him on the ground, Fang He’s cat eyes stared at him with some uncertainty. When he saw Li Zhen was about to close the door, his whole cat suddenly went on fire. 

Meow-wu, this cat master didn’t even intend to abandon you, but you actually want to throw this cat master out of the room?!

Just a moment before the door closed, Fang He rushed back at once. With a sharp scream, he pounced on Li Zhen’s legs, and his cat paws grabbed Li Zhen’s coat and pants in a deadly grip.

Li Zhen’s rigid body moved slightly. He looked down at He-miao, who was holding him tightly. Then saw a pair of translucent jasper-like cat eyes full of anger, and even had an urge to rush up to him for a bite.

Fang He yelled fiercely, his pair of cat eyes can’t even glare at this fool, “Meow, meow, meow…”
