Chapter 53: A Cat Among Zombies

Meatball struggled frantically upon hearing that name!
“Meow, meow, meow, meow, meow!”
—— “Hahaha, Meatball, you are so vulgar!”
—— “Meatball: Stupid zombie! Who allowed you to give this cat that name!”
—— “Did my wife name it because she wants to eat Meatball? Ah, I suggest we add a feeding feature to the livestream!”
No matter how much Meatball protested, the name was officially decided.
Since it was just him and Meatball in the room, Song Jinshi spoke freely without any reservations.
He felt that if he didn’t talk, he would really only be able to speak zombie language, and he was beginning to forget how to speak human language.
The next day, the tall zombie returned and immediately noticed the small creature in Song Jinshi’s arms.
“Roar?”
What is that? Is it your food supply?
The tall zombie looked utterly puzzled.
Meatball seemed to understand the tall zombie’s words and immediately puffed up in response.
Song Jinshi even felt as if he saw Meatball roll its eyes at the zombie.
Knowing that Meatball was angry, Song Jinshi hurriedly explained.
“Roar.
It’s my pet, and its name is Meatball. You need to remember what it looks like so you don’t accidentally eat it.”
After all, such a small cat made him genuinely afraid that the zombies might forget and treat Meatball as a snack.
The tall zombie patted its chest and assured Song Jinshi, “Roar.
You don’t have to worry. I will definitely not eat it, and neither will the other zombies. You can let it absorb a bit of your scent, and then we will all know it is your food supply. We will absolutely not compete with Little Zombie for food!”
Song Jinshi tightly held Meatball, who was eager to leap at the tall zombie, fearing that it might run off to deliver itself.
At this moment, he was no longer inclined to explain to the tall zombie.
Whether it was that Meatball was not a food supply or their continued belief that they were weak and would starve if they weren’t careful.
By nightfall, when the zombies all went out to hunt, Song Jinshi and Meatball stayed in the room.
He had been holding back all day and could finally no longer resist scolding the audacious little cat.
“Meatball! You’re just a weak little cat! How dare you provoke a zombie!”
“They could finish you off in two bites!”
While scolding it, Song Jinshi was frantically petting Meatball’s head.
Meatball called out a couple of times nonchalantly, clearly not taking Song Jinshi’s words to heart.
After Song Jinshi fell asleep, Meatball suddenly opened its crimson eyes.
It stared intently at the window.
The night was filled with howls from the city, mixed with human screams.
Meatball stepped lightly and quietly walked outside.
As it reached a large building, Meatball disappeared and a tall man appeared in its place.
The man waited for a moment when a somewhat stiff-limbed person approached him.
“Have you found it?”
The man was still paying attention to Song Jinshi’s location when he asked.
“Not yet, master.”
His voice was harsh and unpleasant, like a rusty machine.
The man seemed to have anticipated this situation and was not surprised at all.
“Keep searching. Don’t come to me unless you have my orders.”
Saying this, the man left. As he exited the building, he transformed back into a cat.
After Meatball returned to the room, it glanced at the sleeping Song Jinshi, then curled up in his embrace.
In his dream, Song Jinshi felt a little furnace had cuddled up to him, and he instinctively tightened his hold on it.
In the morning, he was jolted awake by a suffocating sensation surrounding him.
Song Jinshi opened his eyes and found everything was dark, and his face felt a furry touch.
“Meatball, your sleeping posture is too poor; you’ve sprawled all over my face.”
“Meow.”
Meatball looked at him innocently, giving a soft and delicate meow.
Song Jinshi suddenly felt that it wasn’t such a big deal after all. After all, this was his cat!
Thus, a group of zombies and a cat arrived in the city where the Zombie King was located.
“Roar.”
I sense the presence of the King! You all keep up with me! With the King, we will no longer have to fear those humans.
Holding Meatball, Song Jinshi followed closely behind the tall zombie.
Upon entering this city, he clearly felt that there were more humans around.
In the previous days, they had hardly encountered any living beings, but after half a day, he had already seen several people.
However, those humans, upon seeing so many zombies, dared not approach and immediately ran off.
And this group of zombies, eager to find the King, did not pay any attention to the humans.
Some of the humans wore matching uniforms.
Song Jinshi speculated that they might be from a human base’s ability team. Perhaps before long, news of their zombie attack would spread throughout the human base.
The tall zombie led them to a hotel.
It ordered the other zombies to stay on the first floor and then took Song Jinshi upstairs.
Finally, the two zombies stopped in front of a presidential suite.
“Come in.”
The occupants inside seemed to sense the arrival of the two and a cold, emotionless voice came out.
The tall zombie carefully opened the door, then respectfully roared at the zombie inside.
“Roar.”
Welcoming the King back.
But the Zombie King paid no attention to the words of the tall zombie.
Instead, it looked at Song Jinshi, who stood awkwardly holding the cat.
The tall zombie noticed this and then explained to the King.
“Roar.”
