30: Chapter 30: Scarlet Lightning 30: Chapter 30: Scarlet Lightning The guy I rescued a few days ago…

emmm…

Lu Zixun couldn’t quite remember his name at the moment, but he guessed the silver badge he had picked up was probably still under Lin Siyin’s bed.

Isn’t that thing something only Genetic Optimization Soldiers can have?

Bai Yiyi has one too, could she possibly be a Genetic Optimization Soldier?

That seems unlikely…

Lu Zixun lifted his paw and scratched his neck, thinking that if someone can go toe-to-toe with Alien life forms like Blood Worms, they must have a certain level of combat ability.

How could they get kidnapped by a drunkard like Jin Chacha?

Thinking back to the phone conversation between Bai Yiyi and Uncle Lin, it seemed that they mentioned some data.

Lu Zixun couldn’t remember anymore and, feeling a bit annoyed, licked his paw.

Ever since he turned into a cat, maybe due to his lazy lifestyle, his memory was truly getting worse.

But now Lu Zixun was certain of one thing: the major families and STO definitely knew about the existence of Alien life forms.

As for why it hadn’t been made public,

Lu Zixun figured it was probably to avoid creating panic.

After all, creatures that only appeared in science fiction movies were now a reality—that would be quite terrifying.

The Genetic Optimization Soldiers must be created to deal with Alien life forms, but to Lu Zixun, these soldiers didn’t seem very strong.

They couldn’t even deal with a Blood Worm, let alone the Blood-colored Ghost…

While Lu Zixun was grumbling to himself, he suddenly felt weightless as Lin Qiang picked him up from the sofa.

“What the hell?” (What are you doing?)

“Hey, I won’t comment on Da Ju’s thick dialect accent, but why are you cursing?”

Muttering to himself, Lin Qiang continued, “We can go to the airport now.

I need to ask if pets are allowed on planes.”

They were heading to the airport; it seemed Lin Qiang had quite a bit of private money!

Lu Zixun slapped Lin Qiang’s arm to vent his dissatisfaction.

So rich, yet he still damn makes me eat instant noodles with him every day.

Is he a human?

Doesn’t he have any compassion?

Upon arriving at Yuezha Airport, Lin Qiang went to inquire at the front desk and came back with a smile on his face.

Crouching in front of Lu Zixun, he said, “You can go on the plane, but we need to prepare some quarantine paperwork and documents.

Let’s go handle that now.”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than Lin Qiang reached out and picked up Lu Zixun.

This time, Lu Zixun did not resist, but he was very upset about one thing.

From the moment Lin Qiang entered the airport, many people gave him strange looks, even looks of disdain.

Lu Zixun really didn’t get it; we’re all damn humans, is it funny to discriminate against others?

Although Lu Zixun usually called Lin Qiang “fat otaku,” he still considered him a friend at heart.

Seeing Lin Qiang treated like this made Lu Zixun very angry.

He had thought that people in this world were like Bai Yiyi, kind to all beings, but it turned out prejudice and discrimination still existed.

In Lin Qiang’s arms, Lu Zixun quietly looked up at him.

He was leaving the airport quickly now, and although he wore a smile on his face, his heart must be bleeding internally.

A sense of recognition…

It was now that Lu Zixun truly understood why Lin Qiang cared so much about the Pegasus Meteor Shower, why he was so eager when someone agreed with him.

With a silent sigh in his heart, his tail began to wag unconsciously.

While sweeping across Lin Qiang’s arms, Lu Zixun didn’t dare to say much else, but he was determined to ensure Lin Qiang’s safety on this trip to Chunhua City!

They had originally planned to leave in the afternoon, but there were too many things to sort through, and Lin Qiang could only barely get all the documents in order by the time he thought about booking the flight.

“I’m dead tired.”

Having returned home, Lin Qiang wiped the sweat from his forehead.

For an overweight person like himself, today’s physical exertion was really over the top.

“Da Ju, since you can talk, can you change into a person or something?”

Placing the pet carrier on the coffee table, he opened the cage and let Lu Zixun out, while Lin Qiang said resentfully.

At that moment, Lu Zixun was still savoring the memory of the veterinarian’s delicate hands in the pet store.

Hearing Lin Qiang’s words, his tail swept once, and he turned around so his backside faced him, indicating that Lu Zixun didn’t want to answer such nonsense.

Sitting on the couch, Lin Qiang ordered some takeout and watched his bank savings dwindle, his face showing a pained expression.

Remembering Lin Qiang’s ordeal at the airport that day, Lu Zixun turned toward Lin Qiang and said, “Meow ni why no slim?!” (Why don’t you go on a diet?)

“…”

Lin Qiang’s eyes twitched as he looked at Lu Zixun.

After a moment of silence, Lin Qiang said, “You’re pretty fat yourself…

”

Avoiding his own problem while mocking him, Lu Zixun’s face drew a series of black lines.

What kind of person was this?

“Meow meow meow meow!”

He mewed furiously a couple of times.

Suddenly, Lu Zixun remembered something.

He was just a simple and adorable little cat.

Which cat needs to go on a diet?

“Weow meoww differ, meow si meow secret, yo phat yo cuter!” (We are not the same, I am a kitty, the chubbier the cuter!)

“Ding—Envy, jealousy, and hatred level from Lin Qiang +500 detected.”

“???”

Lu Zixun was full of question marks.

What was Lin Qiang thinking about now?

“I really wish I could be a cat.”

Lin Qiang leaned despondently on the sofa, nearly in tears as he said, “Damn it, once I get back from Chunhua City, I’m going to start losing weight!”

Hearing Lin Qiang’s bold declaration, Lu Zixun didn’t take his words to heart at all.

Feeling tired, he yawned and wondered when the takeout would finally arrive.

At one in the morning, Lin Qiang, bundled up, arrived at Yuezha Airport with Lu Zixun.

The airport was nearly empty at that hour, which gave it an eerie feeling.

Lin Qiang found a spot to sit down, took Lu Zixun out, and held him on his lap, his eyes full of confusion.

This was the most daring thing he had done in his twenty-something years of life.

From Lin Qiang’s gaze, Lu Zixun could sense his insecurity and, after a pause, reached out his paw to touch his face: “Malady sis, yous got me.” (No worries, you have me.)

“Thank you, Da Ju.”

Lin Qiang, who took a while to understand what Lu Zixun had said, looked at him gratefully.

Meanwhile, Lu Zixun felt utterly disheartened; the translator was ridiculously incompetent.

He decided that, given the chance, he must obtain a far superior one.

“The flight to Chunhua City is about to depart, please board the plane in an orderly manner.”

The plane took off from the airport, quickly disappearing into the skies above Lingchuan City.

Lu Zixun looked out through the plane’s window at the sky.

Suddenly.

His eyes caught sight of a blood-colored streak of lightning.
