Chapter 162: End of the World - Zombie Era (1)

Lin Shiheng was lying on the sofa, his eyes slightly narrowed as he watched the TV in front of him. The most popular melodramatic romance drama was playing, "You love me, I love him, but he loves you."

To be honest, the plot was quite melodramatic, but he was watching it with great interest. From time to time, he raised his head slightly to indicate that it was time to comb the top of the head of the girl sitting on the sofa.

The girl who was combing his hair with a pet comb was on the phone.

"Sister Yun, is Hengheng really timid? I think he adapted very quickly. He is not afraid of me at all and even let me comb his hair."

"Huh?"

Because the phone was on speakerphone, Lin Shiheng could clearly hear the surprised voice of the woman on the other end: "No way? Hengheng is very timid. I have kept him for a few months. Every time I get home from work, he has to hide under the bed for a while. You just took him back. He should be more afraid of you."

Ji Jiaqi looked down at the cat lying on the sofa in confusion.

Its body looks relatively large due to its long fur. Under the maple leaf mask are a pair of blue eyes, large and bright. At this moment, it is squinting slightly and staring at the TV, watching intently.

It doesn't look like it has just arrived in an unfamiliar environment, but rather like it is in its own territory.

Sister Yun was still chattering on the hands-free phone: "Although Hengheng is timid, he is very friendly. He is just afraid of loud noises. You can open a can to feed it. It likes canned food the most. After eating, it will definitely act cute with you."

"Remember, you must not give it raw water to drink, it will grow parasites. Boiled water should be cooled and then given to it. You can't let it eat human food. Cats can't eat salt. Doors and windows must be closed. Cats especially like to chase flying insects. If you don't take care of it, it may jump off the building after the insects."

Ji Jiaqi also did some research on these before going to pick up the cat, but now...

It is summer now, when there are the most flying insects. When the two were talking on the phone, a seven-spotted ladybug flew directly in front of the Haishuang puppet.

She can absolutely say with certainty that the puppet definitely saw the insect.

For cats who get extremely excited when they see moving objects, bugs are definitely their favorite things. Logically, at this time, it should immediately pounce on it or lower its ears and swing its tail to ambush...

The ragdoll cat with a pair of clear blue eyes glanced down at the little bug in front of it, moved away from the bug with great disdain, and then turned his eyes to the TV in front of him.

Ji Jiaqi: "..."

Sister Yun on the phone was still chattering: "Hey, Hengheng is really very sensitive and timid. I can scare him for a long time when I play songs loudly. But he really loves to act like a spoiled child. You can put your hand anywhere on him and he will purr and act like a spoiled child with you. He is very well behaved. If it weren't for you, I would have taken him with me."

"By the way, the canned food I bought for Hengheng last time has arrived. Remember to collect it. The doctor is here. Let's not talk about it now. Bye."

Sister Yun hung up the phone. Ji Jiaqi thought about what she had just said, reached out his hand, and carefully touched the top of the beautiful puppet's head.

There was no purring, no acting like a spoiled child, no avoiding or meowing. The blue-eyed puppet just turned his head calmly, glanced at Ji Jiaqi, and then turned back to watch TV indifferently.

Although he was just glanced at by a cat, Ji Jiaqi felt as if he was being looked at by an emperor sitting on the throne with full majesty.

She subconsciously withdrew her hand, and felt that what Sister Yun said was unreliable.

Ji Jiaqi and Sister Yun were from the same company, and they usually chatted a lot. Because Sister Yun was a cat fanatic, Ji Jiaqi also had a yearning to raise a cat. When she felt that she had savings and a stable job, and could afford a little cutie, she immediately told Sister Yun happily that she planned to raise a cat.

After congratulating her, Sister Yun began to help her choose a cattery with great interest. As a result, before the cattery had chosen the result, Sister Yun found out the disease. This disease is very difficult to treat. Either surgery is performed, and there is a high probability of death, or no surgery, and 100% of death.

She finally decided to go abroad for surgery. Sister Yun was an orphan and had no lover. She had a lot of friends, but the only one who was patient, careful and liked cats was Ji Jiaqi. In the end, she entrusted the cat to Ji Jiaqi and agreed that if she cured the disease, Ji Jiaqi would return the cat to her and she would pay according to the market price for foster care. If she died, Hengheng would be Ji Jiaqi's cat in the future.

Today is the day for Sister Yun to have surgery. Because Ji Jiaqi was sent on a business trip, the ragdoll cat was temporarily fostered in a friend's house. It was only today that she hurried back to pick it up.

Not only to pick up the cat, but also to wait for news from abroad, because Sister Yun had no relatives, she only asked a nanny to take care of her. If the operation was successful, she would call in person, and if the operation failed, the nanny would call Ji Jiaqi.

Ever since Ji Jiaqi entered the company, Sister Yun, who is older than her, has always taken good care of her, probably because both of them are orphans. In her heart, she is no different from her own sister. Now, while waiting for news, she is obviously in agony, but she still has to put on a smile and call Sister Yun.

For the whole afternoon, Ji Jiaqi was absent-mindedly combing the puppet's fur from time to time, and the beautiful and majestic puppet might be too lazy to pay attention to her, always maintaining the original peasant posture, squinting his eyes to watch TV.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, Ji Jiaqi, who was sitting stiffly on the sofa, received a call.

"Miss Ji, the operation failed."

For a moment, Ji Jiaqi almost thought that she was too tired to fall asleep and had a nightmare.

****

Lin Shiheng was watching TV. The vision of a cat is naturally different from that of a human, but he has turned on the cheat. Although his vision is good, it is still within the scope of humans.

His hearing is many times more sensitive than when he was a human. For example, now he is lying on the sofa in the living room, and he can still hear Ji Jiaqi crying under the quilt in the room.

Maybe it was because she was too tired from crying for half an hour before, and now Ji Jiaqi's crying has become a soft sob.

The ragdoll cat lying on the sofa twitched its ears. Listening to the laughter of two female voices coming from the other side of the room, it was guessed that she was crying while watching the video.

The dead are gone, and the living can only relieve their grief by recalling the good old days.

Lin Shiheng moved his whiskers, narrowed his round blue eyes slightly, and looked out the window.

At this moment, tiny green ashes invisible to the naked eye were floating in the clear sky.

For the very weak girl in memory, maybe it would not be a bad thing for her to leave the world early.

Ji Jiaqi cried until three o'clock in the morning before she had no strength to cry anymore. She originally wanted to fall asleep in a daze, but suddenly got up with a start before going to bed.

She is not alone now, and Hengheng needs her to take care of her!

So Ji Jiaqi, who was lying flat on the bed, got up again and planned to go to the living room to hug the cat and sleep together.

Although it didn't act as timid as Sister Yun said, Ji Jiaqi still decided to follow Sister Yun's instructions and sleep with it every night to prevent it from being lonely.

Ji Jiaqi, whose eyes were swollen and almost invisible, easily picked up the bloated ragdoll cat.

As if she remembered the days when Sister Yun showed off her cat, she choked and sobbed, and whispered to Lin Shiheng in a crying voice: "Don't be afraid, although mom is gone, there is still auntie."

"Auntie will definitely take good care of you. I will take a leave next week to take you to get sterilized."

Sterilization is something Sister Yun emphasized several times. After all, if a male cat is not sterilized, it will howl in the middle of the night and urinate everywhere, and it is very likely to jump off the building because of the screams of wild cats outside the window. Hengheng didn't do it before because he was not old enough, but now it is almost possible.

Lin Shiheng, lying quietly in the arms of his shit shoveler, expressionless: "..."

He was not worried that his testicles would be cut off. After all, according to the amount of green dust in the air now, the pet hospital would not be able to open until next week.

That night, Ji Jiaqi had been having nightmares. The ragdoll cat *Heng, who was supposed to be pampered and raised by others, lay beside her pillow. When she closed her eyes and cried, he stretched out his fluffy and tender pink little pads and gently patted Ji Jiaqi's head.

After a few pats, the crying girl in her dream calmed down.

After a while, she frowned and sobbed softly again, and the ragdoll cat *Heng stretched out his pink little pads and patted her again.

It was not until dawn in the morning that Ji Jiaqi's alarm clock rang. She yawned and sat up. Although her eyes were swollen, her spirit was not as weak as she imagined.

Strange, she usually had nightmares at night when she was sad, and she was listless the whole day the next day, but today she felt quite energetic.

Thinking of the bad news she received last night, Ji Jiaqi's mood fell again. She got up and prepared to wash up, but in a blink of an eye, she saw the beautiful Haishuang puppet lying on the pillow with his eyes closed and sleeping soundly.

Even though she was still depressed, waking up to see such a cute little girl still softened Ji Jiaqi's eyes.

She reached out and gently stroked the fur that seemed smoother and softer than silk.

It's really a cat, just likes to sleep in.

After washing up, checking that the windows at home were closed tightly, and that there were cat food and boiled water, Ji Jiaqi carried her bag and went out.

No matter how uncomfortable it was, she had to endure and continue working. According to Sister Yun's last wish, she wanted to be cremated and buried abroad. She also wanted to go abroad to pay tribute, so she had to work harder to save up vacation time.

Ji Jiaqi went out and made sure that the door was locked and the cat inside could not open it, then she entered the elevator with a tired look.

If only I could stop working one day.

***

In a small county town far away from her, a man who had been sick with a fever for several days suddenly opened his eyes and bit his wife who was sleeping next to him mercilessly.

The scream resounded throughout the county town.
