Chapter 228 - Cultivating Feelings

 Zhang Yi looked at the huge demonic cat, which had been crouching in the wind and snow for a long time, its body was covered with a layer of snow.

 However, it did not have any hostile intent, only staring at the place with a glaring gaze.

 When it occasionally blinked its eyes, it was able to tell that it had a trace of a tired demeanor.

 "It looks like that battle with Liang Yue was also very exhausting for it."

 The battle between the demon cat and Liang Yue, who was wielding a precious sword, had almost exhausted Liang Yue's physical strength, and its state was not optimistic either.

 At the very least, its body was left with quite a few wounds from the precious sword.

 That was why it chose to follow Zhang Yi and Yang Xinxin over.

 After all, to it, only Yang Xinxin was a human worthy of its trust.

 In that case, Zhang Yi had a chance to take it in.

 "Come on, let's go out and feed the cat!"

 Zhang Yi said to Yang Xinxin.

 He changed into his own equipment and also put on a thick cold-proof suit for Yang Xinxin before opening the door and walking out of the shelter.

 "Meow-"

 After seeing Zhang Yi, the demon cat cried out vigilantly, but from its demeanor, Zhang Yi was able to sense that its spirit was not very good.

 Yang Xinxin, who was sitting on the wheelchair, waved at it, "Hua Hua, don't be afraid! Come over to sister's side."

 However, the demon cat Hua Hua only stared at Yang Xinxin and glanced at Zhang Yi, whimpering softly without choosing to come closer.

 Zhang Yi knew that it was still wary of himself.

 Especially since he had just had some conflicts with it when he went to Tianqing Academy.

 Zhang Yi smiled as he reached out and opened the doorway of the foreign space.

 "Clatter, clatter, cl"

 Cat strips, small dried fish and bags of cat food fell down like a small mountain.

 "Flower good boy! Come over and eat something!"

 "The environment outside is just too harsh, as long as you are my pet from now on, food and shelter will be included!"

 Hua Hua was dead set on the pile of food on the ground, especially when he saw the cat strips, Zhang Yi even noticed that its throat wriggled a few times.

 Zhang Yi's heart was happy, a cat is a cat, as long as there is food, it is still very easy to deal with!

 But the next moment, the truth was a bit of a slap in the face.

 Although it was eyeing the food that Zhang Yi took out, it still did not come closer, instead, it took a few steps back and stared at Zhang Yi and the food dead in the face.

 "Oooh-"

 Its voice also began to change, and its eyes seemed to carry some provocative intent.

 It was as if it was saying to Zhang Yi: You want to subdue me with this small favor? You have not underestimated this cat!

 Yang Xinxin on the wheelchair said to Zhang Yi with a smile, "Brother, Hua Hua is a stray cat, and she is very vigilant."

 "It took me more than a month to get on good terms with it in the first place."

 Zhang Yi rubbed his face and laughed, "More than a month's time? I don't care, but I'm worried about it going to attack Fatty Xu's village!"

 Although he didn't care about the deaths of the villagers of Xu Dong Village, Fatty Xu was a little brother that he looked up to.

 In case Flower caused trouble, it would always be bad if the relationship between the two was stifled in the future.

 After all, this cat was also considered to have been lured over by him.

 After thinking about it, he said to Flower, "Hey, Flower. I know you don't trust me yet, but I can provide you with food. But you have to promise me that you won't attack the villagers across the river. Is that okay?"

 Zhang Yi reached out and pointed to the village across the river.

 He had always felt that this cat demon was intelligent, and he could tell from its behavioral pattern.

 Sure enough, Hua Hua twisted her head to look in the direction of Zhang Yi's finger, and then looked at the large pile of food in front of him, and surprisingly, she slowly nodded her head.

 "Meow-"

 This was also considered an agreement.

 "Well then, let's do it!"

 Zhang Yi was aware of creatures like cats, especially stray cats, and it was most difficult to build trust in people.

 So it had to be done slowly.

 Anyway, he had plenty of pet snacks in the alien space, and he didn't eat them himself, so he could just use them to feed it.

 "But such a big cat, its meal size is not small. We'll have to find some other food to feed it in the future!"

 Zhang Yi pulled Yang Xinxin's wheelchair and retreated back to the door step by step.

 They returned to the room and suddenly heard the girls inside letting out a surprised cry.

 Zhang Yi twisted his head and looked out the window, but surprisingly, he could not see the cat demon anymore.

 "Zhang Yi, look!"

 Zhou Ke'er excitedly pulled him and pointed at the large pile of cat food.

 Zhang Yi fixed his eyes on it, and also could not help but shout "Crap!"

 The huge cat demon that was more than ten meters long had turned into a normal-sized civet cat!

 The women probably hadn't seen a cat for too long, and one by one, they were lying in front of the window, looking at it with peach blossoms in their eyes.

 "Can it change its shape and size?"

 Zhang Yi was quite surprised.

 In this way, all the food needed to feed it could be saved a lot.

 "Isn't that of course?"

 Lu Ke Yan laughed with his arms wrapped around him.

 "Big brother, it looks like you didn't learn biology very well!"

 "If it stays at this size, those guys from Tianqing Academy won't be able to fill its stomach at all."

 Yang Xinxin stared at the tiny civet cat, her gaze becoming gentle.

 "I've always had this suspicion. It appeared and disappeared exceptionally abruptly, and logically, with such a large size, even just approaching it would cause a huge commotion."

 "Yet even Teacher Liang Yue, a martial arts expert, couldn't detect it."

 "Then analyzing it through the portion size of its feeding, there is a great possibility that it can change its size."

 Zhang Yi hugged his arms, a relaxed smile coming on his face.

 "That would be a good solution to the problem! How much can a civet cat eat."

 Yang Xinxin suddenly frowned and said with some concern, "Hua Hua it's bleeding!"

 Zhang Yi looked over carefully.

 Sure enough, there were patches of blood on its body, and although it was frozen, it could be seen that it was relatively fresh.

 It should be a wound that Liang Yue had hacked out with Dragon Song.

 No wonder Flower looked so tired.

 However, when it ate, it was as if it did not care, after all, for stray cats, injuries had become a common occurrence.

 Zhang Yi thought about it and prepared to put some medicine over to it tomorrow to help it recover.

 But it definitely couldn't go over there now.

 When the stray cat ate, those who came close would be treated as enemies who snatched the food.

 Originally, Zhang Yi could have asked Yang Xinxin to do it for him.

 But then, he wouldn't be able to cultivate a good relationship with this cat, and obviously that wasn't what he wanted.

 That night, Yang Xinxin and Lu Keyan slept in a room.

 The room was huge, more than eighty square feet, and the tones inside were warm pink and yellow.

 The huge double bed was covered with a cloud-like soft mattress, and the quilt was a velvet thin quilt, because the temperature inside was relatively high, a thick quilt was not needed at all.

 The room was neatly organized with a closet, dresser, and desk, and there were even some adorable large stuffed animals in the corners.

 This was totally the little princess's favorite bedroom.

 Yang Xinxin was wearing a white silk nightgown, her long hair falling smoothly behind her like satin.

 She sat on the bed with a happy smile on her face.

 Lu Ke Yan was also wearing a green-colored pajamas, sitting cross-legged on the bed, having a bedtime talk with her.

 After the end of the world, it had been too long since they had a peaceful sleep.

 Lu Ke Yan sat on the bed and said to Yang Xin Xin, "Xin Xin, I really want you to hit me. It feels like a dream right now!"

 "Obviously during the daytime, we were still starving and freezing under the ice and snow. Now it's in such a cozy room!"

 Yang Xinxin smiled gently, "Isn't this look great? It's all thanks to brother Zhang Yi."

 At the mention of Zhang Yi, she picked up a hug pillow and covered her face that couldn't hold back her smile.

 Zhang Yi's calm, rational and powerful image had been deeply engraved in her heart.

 Lu Ke Yan also couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "Yes, Big Brother Zhang Yi, he's so powerful! To be able to come up with such a good shelter in the middle of the end times."

 She raised her fists and said earnestly, "I've decided that I must work hard in the future to live up to Big Brother Zhang Yi's care for me!"

 Yang Xinxin asked curiously, "What did brother ask you to do?"

 Lu Ke Yan said, "Big brother first asked me to familiarize myself with the equipment. Then there are some things I have to remodel myself."

 "But besides helping him repair the equipment, odds are that he'll have to build weapons as well!"

 Yang Xinxin smiled and asked, "Weapons can't be that easy to create, right?"

 Lu Ke Yan nodded.

 "Hmm. If it's an ordinary firearm, it's not difficult to manufacture. But some complicated firearms, there's no way to produce them without specialized equipment and molds."

 "Even if they are built according to the mold, the error of using them will be relatively large."

 Yang Xinxin, however, smiled and suggested, "I think that brother shouldn't be lacking in ordinary firearms. Bullets and bombs might be a bit more useful to him than guns."

 Lu Ke Yan came to a realization.

 "Right!"

 Highly refined firearms were too difficult to manufacture.

 But bullets as well as explosives were much less difficult to manufacture.

 Ordinary blasters could create earth explosives according to the proportions.

 For professionals like Lu Ke Yan, it was definitely not difficult to build bombs that were more powerful and more stable.

 "I'll discuss this with big brother tomorrow! See what kind of weapons he needs."

 Lu Ke Yan smiled happily.

 She was a person who knew how to repay favors, and she must find a way to repay Zhang Yi's kindness in order to feel balanced in her heart.

 Early the next morning, Lu Ke Yan came over to find Zhang Yi with gusto and told him about her idea.

 Zhang Yi was also very moved by what he heard.

 He was still considering that his traps were too poorly laid out to deal with more powerful enemy attacks.

 It would be good if there could be more mines and explosives.

 He immediately said to Lu Ke Yan, "Very well, you'll make a batch of these things in large quantities. Be sure to pay attention to safety! You tell me what materials you need."

 Lu Ke Yan patted his chest with a "thump".

 "Don't worry big brother, I'm a professional at this!"

 Zhang Yi's gaze subconsciously looked at her chest, slightly worried about her future child.

 "Do well and cheer up, brother looks after you!"

 Zhang Yi patted her shoulder and encouraged her.
