Easy now. I'm getting you out of here.
On the dilapidated streets, several cars that were almost turned into scrap metal were burning fiercely, with thick black smoke billowing towards the sky. Occasionally, the sound of combustion explosions would ring out, attracting a horde of zombies, which would then quickly scatter again.
The man stood on the rooftop of a shopping mall, quietly observing the scene below.
His bangs were slightly disheveled by the wind, and beneath his stern expression, a pair of sharp black eyes were searching for a landing spot. In the next moment, he leaped from the rooftop. A gust of wind blew, and the man landed steadily, immediately followed by seven or eight zombies jumping down from the rooftop. Some broke their hands and necks but still got up in grotesquely twisted positions, charging towards him from behind. However, many zombies seemed to be pierced by some invisible force through their skulls, collapsing to the ground. The man weighed his backpack, nimbly shaking off the zombies attracted by the commotion, and turned into a slender alley.
In the shadows, Yan Ning cautiously peeked out, her pair of golden eyes fixedly watching the man disappear at the alley's entrance, her eyes bursting with intense light. She had finally found him! Without hesitation, Yan Ning followed Qin Yu into the dark alley. Entering the dim and damp alley, Yan Ning curiously surveyed her surroundings. The alley above was crisscrossed with messy wires, making it seem as if even sunlight couldn't penetrate, with dark green moss spreading from the flagstones to the walls, emitting a decaying and desolate smell. She noticed Qin Yu's pace seemed to slow down a bit, and Yan Ning cautiously slowed her steps, hiding her figure in the shadows. A crow on the utility pole cawed hoarsely and flapped its wings to fly away. In the next second, Qin Yu suddenly turned into another dark alley, disappearing from her sight!
Yan Ning, without thinking much, hurriedly chased after him, only to find that the slender alley extended into dozens of side paths, and she had no idea which way Qin Yu had gone! In her anxiety, her immature transformation magic became unstable, and a white, slender tail popped out from behind her. Yan Ning was startled and quickly changed her tail back. At this moment, a pair of eyes in the darkness was quietly observing her.
Qin Yu didn't expect that the one who followed was a girl. The girl was wearing a school uniform, with a black baseball cap on her head, the brim pressed low, her shoulder-length black hair softly resting on her shoulders, covering most of her face, revealing only her small nose tip. The uniform skirt was short, and under the hem were a pair of slender and fair legs. This was almost an inconceivable attire today. Exposing her legs like this was too easy to get hurt by zombies; everyone basically wore some sturdy long sleeves and pants to protect themselves. Probably because she lost her target, the girl spun around in confusion, and Qin Yu caught a glimpse of a slender white tail under her uniform skirt.
Qin Yu: "...?"
In the midst of life and death, there were even cosplayers.
It was indeed the end times; you could meet all kinds of people.
The girl looked around, then closed her eyes and sniffed the air. Qin Yu saw her small nose tip move slightly, and she suddenly opened her eyes, her pair of golden pupils instantly locking onto the direction where he was!
Qin Yu's pupils contracted slightly, only to see her figure flicker and appear in front of him in an instant.
So fast!
His eyes narrowed, and the wind blade in his hand was ready to be launched.
In the next second, the girl threw herself into his arms, tightly hugging his waist.
Qin Yu's hand paused, and a flash of surprise quickly crossed his eyes, then he spoke in a low voice: "Let go."
Yan Ning held on tightly, very satisfied with the smell on him, but when she looked up and met his gaze, she found that Qin Yu's eyes were not friendly.
Had Qin Yu forgotten her?
Yan Ning's beautiful golden eyes under the brim of her cap blinked slowly, her expression a little confused and uneasy.
Seeing that the other party had no intention of releasing him, Qin Yu's forehead veins twitched, and he mercilessly reached out to pinch her chin up.
His fingers sank into her soft cheeks, facing her clear and innocent eyes, Qin Yu sneered: "Are you really not understanding, or pretending not to understand?"
Even if Yan Ning was slow, she also sensed the faint murderous intent in his tone and finally released him, taking a step back.
...
As a newly adult cat demon, Yan Ning should have been living a leisurely life in the demon world, completely unrelated to humans.
Ten years ago, before she had learned to transform, her cousin secretly brought her to the human world without her parents' knowledge.
The human world was completely different from where the demon clan lived, with tall buildings flashing neon lights everywhere. Yan Ning walked on the cement road with her four little legs, dazzled by the colorful and exciting world in front of her.
Her cousin transformed into a human form, looking very good-looking, and many human girls came to chat with him.
As a result, her cousin chatted with those girls and walked into a very lively place. Yan Ning looked up at the sign - the three words "night club" shone brightly.
She was about to follow in when she was discovered by the security guard at the door: "Where did this stray cat come from, go away, get away from here!"
She was driven away in a sorry state.
Her cousin forgot about her existence, and Yan Ning could only squat at the entrance from afar, waiting. Before long, a fierce dog appeared in front of her, staring at her with bared teeth.
At this time, Yan Ning was just a thin little white cat, and she was startled and ran away.
First, she was threatened by this stray dog to drive her out of her territory, and then she was chased all the way by the stray cat catching car.
It started to rain, and Yan Ning, wandering on the main road, was caught off guard and soaked through, already exhausted when she saw a rat bigger than her cat emerging from the sewer pipe!
Yan Ning's hair stood on end with fear, and just as she was being chased by this fat rat, she was suddenly picked up by the scruff of her neck and lifted into the air, meeting the gaze of this human.
Her wet black hair was a bit messy, sticking to his forehead, he pursed his lips, his pitch-black eyes staring at her, with no emotion at the bottom of his eyes.
Raindrops rolled down his handsome profile, long eyelashes covering the corners of his eyes, his ink-like eyes as if wet, moist and dark, with an indescribable attraction.
So... handsome.
No! It's over! She was caught by a human!
Cousin, help!
She flailed her little paws helplessly in the air, desperately trying to escape, but the human with black hair and black eyes just gave her a warning glance.
"I've never seen a cat afraid of mice before, alright, stop struggling, be good and I'll take you home."
