Chapter 419: Multi-colored Cat

Wu Siyu used a surprising amount of effort before she managed to yank off a ball of fur . ‘If these furs can get over the border, then I should be able too . ’ She studied the mutated area which was one step away and waved her paws . The ball of fur was supposed to lift up into a draft of wind but there was not one, therefore, Wu Siyu puffed up her cheeks and blew as hard as she could . Her whiskers were shuddering from the effort . The fur finally floated over . It slowly drifted across the border and landed on the scorched soil of the mutated area . It was successful . The fur crossed the border safely .

Wu Siyu planted herself on the ground and started to observe . The ball of fur did not burn and it did not seem to change at all . Perhaps as long as it was a part of her cat body, it would not be affected by radiation? She waited a while longer until the sky at the mutated area lightened . She’d have greater visibility . She turned back to look . She was already at the edge . If there was a 5th explosion, it would engulf the places that she had treaded . In other words, it included the iron pole and the dead body inside the cage…

Wu Siyu had a feeling that it was not only a trap . If that thing was overlapped onto Earth, it would bring a greater tragedy upon Earth .

‘O well, looks like I’ll have to take that swing…’ With no protection available . She wiggled her body and raised her tail as she slowly edged towards the border . If she felt pain from the tip of her tail, she’d shrink back immediately… The worst outcome would be to lose her tail . She’d consider that a weight loss . Since it would not affect her limbs and brain, it was the most reasonable solution .

The tail tip eventually crossed the border and then came the rest of the tail . It was fine! She did not feel any pain or itchiness . Her synaesthesia gave her no warning either . ‘Alright, it’s time to slowly move over . ’ Wu Siyu padded backwards . Her fat stomach and back paws entered the mutated area . They were followed by her front paws, neck and head… The radiation burns did not happen . Her whole cat body was standing inside the intersection point of the two worlds . She looked up into the sun and even the air felt fresher . However, her surroundings were as lifeless and wilted as ever . ‘Even though this place is also under radiation, it’s much better than where I came from . The radiation level over there should be over 100 plus Gy/hour . It is why I feel freer over here . ’

However, she also sensed that she was unable to return back to Earth from this mutated area . Standing at the border, she could only see the wasteland and not Mo Bei as she believed the drone did . The mutated area was about 70 cubic km in size . If she walked from one edge to another, in her current state, it would take days . Dirty-minded Jun’s voice appeared to tell her that was not a wise idea . Instead it reminded her that what she needed to do now… it was to re-establish communication with Phecda .

‘When you’re right, you’re right . ’ Wu Siyu stood for a while before she moved to action . She was at the edge and so did the Special Mobile Force units . Perhaps they would be surprised to find a sudden appearance of a cat here . To make herself more conspicuous, she sauntered about with her tail raised high . She occasionally leaped into the air and gave a few shrill whines . “MEOW!!”

‘I’m here, I’m here! This is Wu Siyu, calling for headquarters!’

…

“Look, over there! Is that… a cat?”

“What?!”

The mutated area was growing larger, its border alone covered miles . Therefore, it was unrealistic to expect every inch to be monitored by Phecda . However, for the border that was closest to Mo Bei City, a new layer of quarantine circle was being constructed so there were a large number of engineering and action Department members . At that moment, several patrols saw with shock that less than 1 meter away from them, right inside the previously deathly silent mutated area, there was a fat and strange mixed-colored cat . The cat leaped here and there, calling and meowing . It appeared to be taunting them .

With a glance, they knew that this was not a normal or stray cat . After all, what kind of stray could be so well fed?

Therefore, they instantly reported this to their superior . Soon a drone came over and the camera pointed at the cat on the ground . The image was broadcasted to the big screen at headquarters . Of course not everyone knew about Wu Siyu’s painting accident yesterday night . Even at the headquarters, only higher ups like Yao Sinian and Elder Tong knew about it . Therefore, when most saw that cat, the one with dual-colored eyes, a chill crawled into their hearts . The satellite failed to capture the cat’s mysterious appearance, it seemed to materialize out of thin air .

Elder Tong and Yao Sinian were shocked and confused . ‘Isn’t that… the cat from Wu Siyu’s painting? It disappeared from the painting and now appeared here? Why?’

Ever since yesterday night, Wu Siyu had entered a state of soullessness . But strangely enough, there seemed to be a lingering consciousness within her, or it might be her survival instinct taking over . She did not need others to care for her, she knew how to eat, sleep and use the bathroom on her own . Since the incident, she had not uttered a word but she continued to keep her body working like an automaton .

‘What is up with this cat? Is it calling people to come get her?’ The headquarters maintained a communication channel with The One who was present at the scene . As the team rushed towards the border, they tuned into the broadcast and were briefed about the relevant information .

“I have a feeling…” Deng Ximei commented, “That the cat is very much like Siyu . Especially the eyes . ”

“Now that you mention it, they do bear many similarities . ” Lou Xiaoning though based her observation on the cat’s mannerism and actions . ‘Is it possible that due to some unknown reason Siyu’s soul had travelled into her own painted cat?’ Elder Tong concurred with their assessment . He was quite excited . ‘Does this mean Siyu has found some new clues? Will this be the breakthrough they need?’

“Better be prepared to intercept this cat . ” Elder Tong told the One . Since Deng Ximei and the guys were already exposed to the radiation in their previous excursion, Elder Tong’s order was mainly directed at Lou Xioaning . The radiation inside the mutated area worsened, so they could only manage 2 . 5 minutes inside it while they had a 3 . 5 minutes window earlier . After the 4th explosion, the radiation reading was now 60 . 3 Gy/h .

“I’ve been meaning to check it out . ” Lou Xiaoning was not afraid, “I don’t mind staying a while longer in fact . ”

However moments later, the latest image taken by the drone caused Elder Tong and The One to lose their earlier enthusiasm . The multi-colored cat was seen scratching around on the scorched soil . It was a sentence that said, ‘I witnessed God, I am his incarnation in the human world’ .

That was the exact sentence Headmaster Chui and Lee Yuhan, confirmed patients of Locust Sickness had said .
