Along with the faint white smoke, a small iron box emitted waves of fragrant meaty aroma from the fire. The flickering light reflected on the faces of the people around it, and their eyes shone brightly.
Lin Sanjiu had no idea how long it had been since she had seen such piping hot, sizzling food. Even though she really wanted to have a bite, she could only sit by the side and watch helplessly.
The bite of meat that she insisted on tasting just now had "gone through her intestines" and fell to the ground. Rena and Rena had already grumbled about it for quite some time because of this.
"Is it almost done?" When Rena said that, Lin Sanjiu could clearly hear her saliva coming out of her mouth. The sound of her saliva almost drowned out her words, "I think it's ready to eat!"
Before Rena could finish her sentence, she had already extended her chopsticks to the side of the metal box.
"Clang!" Rena's chopsticks were slapped back. Following that, an angry roar rang out, "I said you can only eat it when it's ready to eat!"
Even though it was a very sweet voice, it sounded very imposing when it was serious, "The cheese inside hasn't completely melted and the bottom layer of rice is still hard. It's clearly not ready yet!"
Rena probably rarely saw such a stern attitude from the cat. She immediately bowed and sat back down. She said shamefully, "Please don't be angry. Please don't be angry …"
The cat doctor, who had always been highly respected by everyone, was now shaking his long white whiskers. His green eyes were filled with a faint disdain, as if he was saying, "You guys have wasted your lives."
Lin Sanjiu and her group had unintentionally entered the cat doctor's "territory" that afternoon.
Even though he had a furry cat face when he peeked out from the window on the second floor, it didn't hinder his expression. After staring at them for a few seconds, the bicolor cat spoke in a polite and reserved manner, but it was obvious that he didn't welcome them, "Oh, we meet again, my, my friends."
The word "friend" was too difficult for it to say.
Even Lin Sanjiu couldn't help admiring its self-restraint for it to finish its sentence.
The moment they saw the cat doctor, the siblings were instantly affected by his strange forcefield. This effect seemed to work on everyone except Lin Sanjiu. The siblings were pleasantly surprised by the cat doctor's strange forcefield. He greeted Doctor Hu enthusiastically, "Doctor Hu! Fancy meeting you here! Didn't you go to work in a provincial hospital? "
Meowie Hu's eyes darted left and right, "Mm, uh. A lot of people have come to the provincial hospital recently. It's not convenient for me to work … "
Lin Sanjiu really wanted to ask what kind of work it was, but when the words reached her mouth, she changed it, "Did the provincial hospital become a mutated building?"
The cat doctor sighed helplessly and nodded.
"If you don't mind. Why don't you join us? " At this moment, Reno had completely forgotten that he was afraid of cats. He invited her warmly, "Maybe I can provide you with some help or help you avoid some trouble..."
Meowie Hu looked like he wanted to reject them, but he seemed to have thought of something. He looked back into the house and asked shyly, "Last time, you said you wanted to bring me some corpses … I wonder …"
— Are the corpses in the house not enough for you?
Even though Reno and Rena were blind, Lin Sanjiu could see everything clearly. There were many humanoid figures hanging in the bicolor cat's room. Just one look at them was enough to make Lin Sanjiu shudder.
As soon as he heard that it was about this matter. The siblings immediately felt a little embarrassed. During this period of time, the two of them had indeed created quite a number of corpses, but none of them remembered to carry them for the cat doctor. Now that they thought about it, they felt ashamed of themselves. To make up for their negligence, the two kids were even more determined to invite the cat doctor to join them. No matter what, they had to find the most perfect corpse for him.
"Only one?" the bicolor cat asked shyly again.
"You can have as many as you want!" The siblings sounded as if they were talking about carrots.
The cat seemed to be in a difficult position. He couldn't refuse the kids' kindness. After being persuaded by them for more than ten minutes, the cat took a quick glance at Lin Sanjiu. When he saw that Lin Sanjiu didn't respond, he suddenly sighed. He nodded at them politely, "Since that's the case, let me clean up my house first. Then, I will invite you in for a chat."
Just like that, fifteen minutes later. The cat led the three of them into the house.
Lin Sanjiu didn't have to comment on the cat's "guiding method" of rubbing against the wall to leave his scent behind. After the house was cleaned, there were no more corpses. However, Lin Sanjiu would have felt better if there wasn't blood seeping out from under the door.
The three people and the cat sat down at a round table. After they looked at each other, the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward as there was no topic to talk about.
"Since my friends are here," the cat gracefully coiled his tail around his body, "I have to have a simple meal. Coincidentally, a patient's family member delivered some canned food today. If you don't mind, I can cook for you. Now that the living conditions are poor, I'm a little neglectful. "
"But … isn't all the food here corroded by the dark matter?" Reno asked cautiously.
The cat immediately looked at Reno and Rena and said calmly, "Both of you have also been corroded by the dark matter."
The siblings froze and were instantly speechless.
It was obvious that the cat doctor often cooked alone. Not only did he have all the tools he needed, but he was also very skilled at cooking. Lin Sanjiu originally thought that a cat wouldn't have any culinary skills, but she was soon dumbfounded when the alcohol stove was lit.
The scariest thing was that Meowie Hu didn't allow any objections during the cooking process.
"Even though the resources in this world can't be compared to the past," the cat doctor's attitude softened a little when he saw that the fire was almost ready. He removed the metal container from the fire with his paw, which was covered with a pair of insulated gloves, "As long as you put some effort into it, you can still eat pretty good food. Try it. Don't you think this rice mixed with chopped seaweed and some canned meat covered with cheese tastes good? "
When the siblings received the food, they were on the verge of tears. Ever since they arrived at Kisaragi Station, they had been eating the yellow and green "military rations". The food wasn't warm at all. When the aroma of the meat wafted into their faces, they felt as though they were "saved."
While the two kids ate heartily, the cat doctor only took two bites in a reserved and picky manner before he stopped.
Lin Sanjiu tried her best to shift her gaze away from the cat's food. Perhaps to divert her attention, she asked softly, "By the way, are you a duoluozhong?"
The cat, who was licking his fur, paused. (To be continued.)
