Chapter 156 The Cat's Past

Li Tianran finished speaking, and the tank-class Combat Elite walked over, its steel hand directly grabbing the scruff of the white cat's neck and lifting it up.

On the other side, Ding Lu also stuffed the mercenary leader into a sack, carried it on his shoulder, and intentionally kept a distance from Tang Su.

He had noticed just now that when Tang Su saw the leader, her eyes flashed with an extremely bitter hatred, as if she couldn't wait to skin him alive…

Ding Lu knew very well that this person was still useful to Li Tianran and couldn't let him die at Tang Su's hands.

The screams in the distance subsided.

The Combat Elites regrouped.

Li Tianran had no intention of dealing with these corpses. There were many stray mutated beasts in this ruined city. With the scent of blood spreading, it wouldn't be long before these corpses were gnawed clean.

"It's time to go home." Li Tianran took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Prepare to return."

…

This operation had brought Li Tianran too many gains! It was like clearing a treasure dungeon!

And on the way back, Li Tianran did not encounter any more unexpected events.

The journey was very smooth.

About five hours later, Li Tianran led his "spoils"...no! It should be "spoils" through the gate of the farm.

As the pleasant electronic sound of identity authentication rang, the steel gate opened automatically.

A huge black shadow swept out, squatted beside Li Tianran, wagging its tail desperately, and making a series of excited growls.

Seeing Xiao Hei, Li Tianran finally relaxed completely.

"You're always the first to greet me when I come home…" Li Tianran rubbed Xiao Hei's big dog head. Even though its size and strength had increased so many times, Xiao Hei was still no different from the little wolfdog it once was.

Still affectionate and clingy.

"Woof…" Xiao Hei suddenly sniffed the bloody scent in the air, and then its eyes suddenly became sharp, its body lowered, baring its fangs and making threatening growls.

"Buzz!" The tank-class Combat Elite put down the white cat. It was too seriously injured. Even after eating a Gu Yao-grade (ancient medicine grade) fruit, it was still extremely weak at this time.

It was still unconscious.

"Clap clap!" Li Tianran patted Xiao Hei's head and said, "Go wake up Han Han, I have something to ask her."

Xiao Hei leaped towards the small building.

Tang Su followed the footsteps of the large group of Combat Elites into the farm. She looked at everything in front of her in astonishment and couldn't help but exclaim.

"I never thought that in this situation, there would still be such a paradise…" Tang Su didn't treat herself as an outsider at all, and ran to the livestock shed and planting area with her long legs, looking around curiously.

Green plants, industrialized farms, fishponds teeming with fish, and even a powerful beast king!

These factors combined gave Tang Su the feeling of really entering the "Garden of Eden."

"You're accepting it quite quickly. You don't seem like someone who's just arrived." Li Tianran said softly.

"Since you put a collar on me, then I'm your person! Since I know you're going to use me, why should I pretend to be innocent and pitiful to gain sympathy?" Tang Su gave a bright smile, "Actually, if you had told me earlier that your home was like this, even if you didn't put a collar on me, I would have come with you."

"It's much better here than outside!"

"Green fields, clear fishponds, milk to drink when you're thirsty, freshly grilled lamb chops when you're hungry, this kind of life is so happy!" Tang Su opened her arms, a look of intoxication on her face.

Hearing this, Li Tianran smiled even more brightly than Tang Su: "Do you like it? If you like it, I'll give it all to you."

Tang Su raised her eyebrows, "What do you mean?"

"What the boss means is that in the future, not only will you be able to see the green fields and clear fishponds every day, but you will also be able to enjoy the dust and dirt of the green fields during harvest, and the rotten silt when cleaning the fishponds. Oh, and in the future, you'll also be doing the work of sweeping cow and sheep manure in the livestock shed."

Tang Su's face froze.

She gritted her teeth, her body trembling, "Why should I do this kind of work?"

"Have you seen Journey to the West? The junior disciples who join later always have to carry the heaviest burdens… Unfortunately, you're a new employee, so you're taking over my job." Ding Lu explained very seriously.

"That's right." Li Tianran nodded.

"I… I'm a super human!" Tang Su said through gritted teeth.

"Who isn't?" A mocking smile appeared on the corner of Li Tianran's mouth.

She originally thought that with her ability, even if Li Tianran used her as a pawn, she should receive extremely high treatment!

But she never expected that she would have to do this kind of dirty and smelly work!

She wanted to explode, but the cold chill from her spine still calmed her down.

A knife above the word heart (忍, ren, endure), endure it!

A person following the word heart (怂, song, be a coward), be a coward!

"Can a super human be called a coward? This is called lying in wait, biding your time!" Tang Su kept comforting herself.

Han Han quickly ran out, plunged into Li Tianran's arms and nuzzled for a long time, and then Li Tianran placed the white cat in front of Han Han, explained the cause and effect, and asked her to start reading the white cat's memory images.

Even the mercenary leader didn't know the specific experience of this white cat. He was only responsible for leading people to hunt it down and didn't know the inside story.

Li Tianran wanted to keep the white cat, but he didn't want to use coercive control methods.

"Sacred Heart" needs to be actively used. Forcing it... makes it difficult for it to sacrifice itself in critical moments!

Han Han's eyes were a blaze of white, her brainwaves like a sea, communicating with the white cat's brain.

Scenes appeared in Han Han's brain. Because of the stimulation of the brainwaves, the white cat's coma gradually subsided, and it began to slowly wake up.

"Meow!" The white cat suddenly opened its eyes and stood up. Its figure jumped out more than ten meters in an instant, its fur bristling, staring at Li Tianran and others!

Han Han opened her eyes and slowly exhaled.

"The experience of this big cat… is similar to what big brother guessed in the previous section. It did accidentally awaken its ability and used its ability to save its owner who was seriously injured in the sea beast riot."

"But…" Han Han paused slightly, "But it wasn't reported to the bad guys by some jealous people, but was sold to the bad guys by its owner himself."

"Most importantly, his owner seemed to be afraid that its abilities were too strong and that resistance would cause his trafficking plan to fail… so, according to the buyer's instructions, he personally put explosive leg rings on its limbs."

"Later, during the transaction, it desperately resisted. Its owner pressed the remote control, and its hind legs were seriously injured, but it still escaped from the transaction point… After that, there were scenes of many people hunting it down in the ruined city."

"And then… nothing." Han Han shrugged her shoulders and said softly.

The scene was very quiet.

Only the white cat's low growl and its cold eyes that distrusted everything!

Ding Lu looked at the white cat, thinking about how painful it must have been when its owner pressed the remote control to blow off its hind legs…

The beast king had a high level of intelligence. It knew very well what its owner, whom it had tried its best to save, had done to it.

"Is this kind of thing rare? In this world, even people can be used as traded goods, let alone a beast." Tang Su said expressionlessly, "In this world, dogs are cleaner than people! Because dogs are always dogs, but people may not be people!"

Li Tianran was silent for a long time, without speaking, he just took out a piece of meat and threw it over.

The white cat's eyes showed ferocity. It didn't eat it at all, but retreated cautiously step by step.

Obviously, it no longer trusted humans!

Li Tianran took a deep breath.

He didn't know how to get such a beast king, who had developed the deepest distrust of humans, to rebuild trust in him and be willing to activate the Sacred Heart ability for him again.

"I roughly know the plan of those people after they captured it. They will get a brain electroshock device and use high-frequency electric shocks to make its brain go out of control. It will unconsciously release all its abilities… I suggest you also use this method, because it's obvious that it can no longer trust humans." Tang Su said extremely calmly.

"I will consider your suggestion." Li Tianran said softly, he looked at the white cat, his eyes complicated.

…

Half an hour later, the farm had breakfast.

The white cat still refused to eat any food fed by Li Tianran, but it was now extremely weak and could not escape from the farm at all. Li Tianran asked the Combat Elites to guard it, and then went to prepare breakfast.

But at this moment, Han Han, who was standing by the window, called out: "Big brother, come and take a look!"

Li Tianran stood by the window and looked down, and a magical scene came into view.

Xiao Hei was gobbling up the last limbs of the former giant crocodile beast king. The white cat cautiously walked over, seeming to smell the aroma of the meat. Obviously, it was extremely hungry, but it was afraid of Xiao Hei's terrifying size and dared not snatch food from the tiger's mouth…

It stood three meters away, gently licking its nose with its tongue, pacing back and forth.

Xiao Hei coldly glanced at it, growled lowly in its throat, moved its huge body, blocked the white cat's view with its own body, and continued to gnaw on the crocodile meat.

The white cat cried out helplessly, turned around with extreme helplessness and limped towards the corner of the wall, curling its body into a small fur ball, letting its stomach make gurgling sounds, but refusing to eat the food fed by Li Tianran, and not daring to continue approaching Xiao Hei.

At this moment, a huge shadow blocked the sunlight.

The white cat opened its eyes in horror.

A large piece of tender crocodile meat, with the outermost hard carapace and sharp bones torn off, fell in front of it. Xiao Hei glanced at it indifferently, turned back to the remains of the giant crocodile, and continued to chew on the hard bones and carapace.

The white cat was stunned for a long time, cautiously took a bite of the meat, and then watched Xiao Hei's reaction with extreme caution.

Xiao Hei glanced at the white cat and continued to gnaw on the bones.

The white cat took another bite, then made a whimper and began to tear and swallow the meat in large mouthfuls.

Soon, nearly twenty pounds of crocodile meat all went into the white cat's belly.

The white cat licked its lips. It hesitated for a moment, took a step towards Xiao Hei, and tentatively touched Xiao Hei, its movements and posture full of flattery.

Xiao Hei didn't react at all and was still gnawing on the bones.

Then, an even more shocking scene appeared.

It climbed onto Xiao Hei's body and curled up on Xiao Hei's head to sleep!
