“Ah! Red Packet!”
Lightning sprinted at top speed before latching himself onto Red Packet’s leg. A deafening scream echoed throughout the room, “Red Packet! I thought I would never get to see you again!”
Red Packet slid him a disdainful glare as he shoved that useless cat away, “Alright, I get it. I need some personal space! And stop drowning me in all your saliva!”
However, Lightning had no time for Red Packet’s trivial concerns as he retorted, “What are we supposed to do now? Red Packet, do you have a method to get us out of here?”
“We can’t. Are you blind? Can’t you see how secure this place is? Just look at all these security cameras surrounding us.” Red Packet then tilted his head upwards and pointed at the collar secured around his neck, “And there’s still this.”
Lightning let out a sigh of despair before asking, “What are we supposed to do then?”
At this moment, a crisp voice reverberated through their cell, “This orange cat is correct. I am encouraging you to give up the idea of trying to escape this place.”
In unison, both Red Packet and Lightning swept their head back only to see a Pallas’s cat standing by the entrance. They didn’t even know it was there all these time. It was simply staring at them through that tiny window.
This was the exact Pallas’s cat, Sandstorm, which was by Centipede’s side during their capture.
“You again?” Lightning roared, “Why are you here?”
Sandstorm’s monotonous voice contrasted with Lightning’s emotional roar, “I just came here to take a look and see how you’re coping. After all, it’s not that common to see an awakened Pallas’s cat.”
Lightning could feel the pulse slamming in his neck as Sandstorm continued to stare at them with a look of haughty disdain, “Aren’t you a Pallas’s cat? Why are you helping them in the first place?”
“He is a cat traitor! A renegade!” A high-frequency scream echoed down the hallway. A female Pallas’s cat squeezed her tiny head out of the even tinier window as she exclaimed with all her might, “Sandstorm! You are a disgrace to all Pallas’s cats! How could you capture our own kind again?”
“This cat’s voice sounds so good.” Lightning muttered. Suddenly, a glimmer flashed across his eyes as he exclaimed, “Are you also a Pallas’s cat? Were you captured by this scoundrel as well?”
In response, the female Pallas’s cat shouted, “Don’t be afraid! Calm down! Our king will come for us and rescue us!”
His eyes glinted with malice as he laughed maniacally, “Neoma, are you still pinning your hopes on the stupid king to save us all? I’m sure he will come. But it’s because we captured him!”
“It’s impossible!” The Pallas’s cat referred to as Neoma retorted, “Our king will definitely come for us. He will become the super Pallas’s cat and destroy every single one of you. He will then lead all the Pallas’s cat to our home, the grasslands!”
Sandstorm scoffed, “R*tard. Even a three-year-old would know to not pin their hopes on some stupid legend.”
To a Pallas’s cat which had spent his entire life in captivity, Neoma’s words were groundbreaking news, “What is a super Pallas’s cat?”
Tears began to well up in Neoma’s eyes as her voice trembled with admiration, “This story has been passed down from generations to generations. A super Pallas’s cat will be born once in every 1000 years. He commands the strongest power in the whole of the universe.”
Immediately, a thought popped up in Lightning’s head, “Don’t tell me that I am the legendary supercat?”
Sandstorm attempted to dash her hopes with another sneer, “You have only been awakened for at most one year. How can a 1000 years old legend even exist?”
Red Packet was left speechless by their frivolous squabbles. With his superior intelligence, he could not even be bothered by their simple-minded theories, “These three fellas, did they not watch Dragon Ball? I’m sure their so-called king has watched it.”
Brimming with excitement, Lightning clarified, “How does one become the super Pallas’s cat? I have a feeling that I might be the one.”
…
Meanwhile, the duo of Zhao Yao and Ye Mei had arrived at XX town, with the invisible Sphynx Cat and Roly Poly accompanying them. Soon, Sphynx Cat had detected the familiar scent of Red Packet and Lightning.
“I recognize this smell. Come, follow me.”
With Roly Poly slung across his back, Sphynx Cat had disappeared towards te horizons in the blink of an eye.
Zhao Yao’s eyes twinkled with excitement as he quickly followed behind, leaving Ye Mei in a state of confusion, “What’s going on?” Even though she had no idea what Sphynx Cat told Zhao Yao, she could clearly see Zhao Yao running in a certain direction. Hence, she could only follow quickly behind.
Finally, Zhao Yao had a taste of Ye Mei’s power. Every step she took produced a force so large that a mini sandstorm was left behind. It was inhuman. Evidently, her legs possessed strength which no ordinary human could possibly achieve. She was literally as fast as a horse.
“Interesting power. I wonder if there’s any more power hidden up her sleeves.” Zhao Yao’s eyes continued to examine her seemingly ordinary legs. He was clueless that he too was under Ye Mei’s scrutiny, “At my current speed, I am almost as fast as a motorcycle. I can’t believe I only manage to catch up with him at this speed. What is his power?”
Zhao Yao explained, “I detected their scent in the air. They have been here before and have disappeared in that direction.” Every step he took was propelled by the effects of his deflective field. The force created drove him forward, hence allowing him to keep up with Sphynx Cat’s insane speed.
Given their astounding speed, the duo sped through the vast plains and had soon reached the point where Red Packet and Lightning had stopped at.
Suddenly, Sphynx Cat stopped next to a bottle before taking in a deep breath, “This is definitely left behind by them.”
Zhao Yao then repeated Sphynx Cat’s words to Ye Mei.
This baffling scene left Ye Mei all confused as she pondered, “The power of super smell? Don’t tell me that he actually possesses two power?”
After speeding through another 300 meters, Sphynx cat came to another abrupt stop as he muttered, “They stopped here again. No, that’s not it. They met someone. It was more than one person. There were cats around as well. After that …” Sphynx Cat’s eyes began to scrutinize the tire pattern printed on the sand before saying, “They were taken away.”
Roly Poly’s jaw went slack as he asked, “They managed to meet someone in this secluded place? Don’t tell me some kind-hearted person actually offered them a ride?”
“I’m afraid that is not the case.” With a mirthless laugh, Sphynx Cat gave a gentle swipe of his hand, causing the fine sand to spiral into the air, revealing the expended cartridges, “Cartridges left behind by a tranquilizer gun. I guess they were taken away against their will.”
The worst possible outcome was confirmed before his eyes. With his brows furrowed together, Zhao Yao asked, “Sphynx Cat, can you continue to trace the cat’s scent?”
Sphynx Cat’s eyes darted towards the horizons as he explained, “I’m not confident. After all, the wind here is extremely strong and the car’s scent is not particularly unique. I’m afraid even I cannot pick up any trace of it.”
Meanwhile, Zhao Yao had already regurgitated everything which Sphynx cat had explained to him, “… hence my two cats were taken away against their will.”
Ye Mei asked, “So you suspect Mao Gang is responsible for their disappearance?”
“Possibly. After all, they are the only suspects up till now. I would like to meet the leader of Mao Gang. Could you kindly arrange a meeting for me?” While making the request, Zhao Yao had already called for Roly Poly to cast his power on a specific area for him to set up the extradimensional belly gate.
“Matcha, Elizabeth, Ares. I want the three of you to accompany Sphynx Cat and Roly Poly as they continue their search for Red Packet and Lightning. Dust Ball, I want you to follow them. If there’s any problem, just return to the belly. Even if you manage to catch up to them, I don’t want you to act on your own. Wait for me, I’ll come over through the gates.”
Zhao Yao had already decided on this two-pronged approach. On one end, the supercats would continue the pursuit while he took the issue up to the leadership of Mao Gang.
Immediately, Matcha, Elizabeth, Dust Ball, Ares appeared out of the gate.
With a tiny flag waving in his paw, Matcha announced, “Everyone, look over here! This direction, please! I know all of you are extremely excited to be here but I still require your co-operation to make this a safe and smooth trip. Remember to keep an eye out for this flag. Do not wander off on your own. Remember to keep your valuables with you at all times.
Report to me if you need a toilet break. Ares! Retract your deflective field! I don’t want you to go around and destroy all these attractions!
Dust Ball, who gave you permission to pee wherever you want? We are civilized beings! Do you understand? We should leave the place cleaner and tidier than we first came. I don’t want to see anyone littering, do I make myself clear?”
Old Cat exclaimed, “She is intoxicated!”
Zhao Yao was fuming with anger, “Who gave her the catmint? I thought she had already kicked her addiction?”
With a body full of silky long fur, Elizabeth complained, “Why is it so hot? Where is my water? I thought we were coming to the grasslands? I don’t even see a single inch of grass! This is disgusting!”
Beaming with excitement, Matcha walked towards Zhao Yao with the flag waving in his hand as he assured him, “Zhao Yao, do not worry. With me in charge, nothing will go wrong. I assure you that everyone will have a fantastic time here!”
