The Villain's Little Cat

144 City D

Going out to face the real society, it really taught one to learn how to protect themselves more and more.

Kate had never entered the workforce before because she was still a student, but her mother told her that it was not easy. Some workplace was filled with people competing with each other, making it hard for them to do anything even if they wanted to.

It was a very tiring place.

But many people just couldn’t escape from that cycle because it was not easy to find another job.

And in this kind of world, what was hard was for them to find a truly safe place. With the increasing number of awakened people, the nation hadn’t been able to completely control them so far. Thus, people just had to figure out how they were going to survive in this kind of world with their own methods.

One of them was naturally this scam.

“City D is within sight.” Jake looked outside and saw the wall towards City D in front of them. Seeing the billowing smoke from a distance away, his heart sank a bit. He could guess that the situation in City D was not very optimistic.

“Are the people there had been escorted out?” Lotte asked.

“Some people have been brought out, but Dylan’s cousin is in the academy that had been surrounded by a lot of giant mutated animals. None of the students could get out and the military had to prioritize others that are easier to safe first.” Kyle shook his head.

.....

“Yeah,” Dylan answered perfunctorily.

Kate glanced at Dylan and then at city D. It seemed that the relationship between Dylan and his cousin was not good at all. Well, it was not her business either way as she was only here to accompany Kyle.

To be exact, he would never want to leave her alone in that City B.

“Wait, why are there so many people on the street?” Jake frowned when he saw people were flooding the street. They were fighting, but they didn’t seem to be part of the army.

Kyle’s eyes narrowed. “They should be the local group that take over because of the military mission back then. There were not many soldiers left in City D and these people took advantage of that.”

“Damn!” Jake cursed.

Looking at these people who were attacking the giant mutated animals around, Jake had to admit that they were not picking just any random people on the street. Almost everyone was awakened.

Then again, only those who were awakened would dare to step forward and fought against these giant mutated animals.

Bang!

“Who are you guys?” some people yelled when they saw the car that bypassed them. These people were not part of the military and naturally didn’t know that there were people from other cities coming.

The moment they saw Kyle’s car, they only thought of attacking.

“Stop them! This is our...”

Whosh!

Lotte was impatient and swiftly released her wind elemental ability and knocked them all back. She formed a barrier around the car as her eyes were filled with annoyance. “Even if they’re a group, this is still part of City D. How can they shamelessly say that this is their territory?”

“Calm down, calm down,” Jake hurriedly went forward and tried to pacify his girlfriend. He smiled bitterly. “It might be due to the fact that they’re used to be arrogant because they can kill these giant mutated animals easily. Anyway, we’ll pass by this area soon.”

“I know.”

With Lotte’s rank 4 wind element, these people were clearly not her match. There were indeed some people who had reached rank 4 by now, but their number was clearly still in the minority.

Thus, the people around the car was pushed back.

They were astonished as they watched the car sped by. Not a single one of them was able to approach the car as if there was an invisible barrier around it.

“Who’s that?”

“I don’t know. But it’s good enough that we can still keep our neck intact.” One of them rubbed their neck. He clearly sensed that the difference in power between them and the people in that car is not small.

“Damn! Some people are just annoying took monopoly of the resources.” Another one grumbled.

From the very moment these mutations occurred and countless giant mutated animals appeared, there were already a lot of voices of protest. These came from these ordinary people and people who were not part of the large forces who managed to awaken some abilities.

They were dissatisfied that some people hoarded the resources, reaching ranks much higher than them.

But what can they do aside from cursing?

Background is also a form of power. Even though a lot of people felt that it was unfair, that just meant that their starting point was higher. However, it was not impossible for them to catch up with their own ways.

That just depend on whether they wanted to or not.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

While the people outside and the military were busy dealing with these giant mutated animals, they finally reached the university. To be exact, they were in the area outside the university and saw the huge number of giant mutated animals around.

It was no wonder that the military decided not to enter the campus.

If there were so many giant mutated animals roaming around, there was definitely no way that the military would want to enter. They had to prioritize those others whom they could possibly save first.

“Alright, shall we begin?”

“Mhm.” Kyle nodded and patted Kate lightly. In her cat’s form, Kate looked outside and blinked her eyes as countless white dots were absorbed into her body in mere seconds.

After doing this from time to time, Kate was very proficient in taking these white dots from the giant mutated animals. She could do it very efficiently and the range had been increasing more and more.

Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!

Countless giant mutated animals dropped dead to the ground, turning into rotten corpses instantly and then tramped by the other giant mutated animals around.

Jake clicked his tongue. “No matter how many times I see this, I have to say that Little Kitty is very domineering.”

Back in the previous mission, Kate killed those giant mutated ants without them seeing. So while they heard reports that there were also many giant mutated ants dying below them, the visual impact didn’t exist.

Now that Kate made a move in front of them, Jake had to admit that the visual impact was so strong that he sighed. Countless giant mutated animals were not a match against a little cat.

If he had to say, she was truly a disaster level rank creature in the cute shape.

“Alright, you can begin now.” Kyle saw that Kate was taking a nap and carefully tucked her in his left arm. On the other hand, his right hand was already itching to begin the fight.

“Got it!”

“Ok!”

“Hell yeah!”

The other three shouted as Dylan continued to drive. They eliminated the rest of the giant mutated animals that were coming close, forming a pathway to the university from the city’s street. But looking at the road behind them, they could see that these giant mutated animals were coming back.

The path they had made would be closed again.

Even though Kate had already killed a lot of giant mutated animals, they were barely 10% of the giant mutated animals in this area. After that, they were also killing some giant mutated animals and then more and more giant mutated animals, so the place become even fuller.

It gave off the impression that they were going to be surrounded.

“We’ll end up not having enough energy first.” Jake looked a bit helplessly.

Dylan passed a glance at Jake. “Rest.”

“Is there even any place to rest?” Jake was speechless.

Lotte pointed at the front. “We’re almost reaching the building. From the way it looks like, these giant mutated animals couldn’t truly destroy the building yet. The students are all fighting for their lives there.”

Even though they couldn’t see everything that happened, they could see that some students were standing near the window, throwing their abilities towards these giant mutated animals outside. Even though they were not too powerful, their number made up for their weakness.

More and more giant mutated animals dropped to the ground and then trampled by other giant mutated animals around.

After all, they had no compassion for each other.

“What are they targeting in this academy?” Jake asked. He couldn’t believe that these giant mutated animals are coming here without any other intention.

“Gem,” Dylan suddenly answered as they entered the parking lot and dealt with the giant mutated animals around them.

“You could sense it?”

“Mhm, faintly.” Dylan nodded and looked above them. It might be inside the laboratory considering that in this university, there as indeed a research laboratory.
