Doomsday Wonderland

Chapter 247: Cat Doctor’s Instructions

Translator: Pluto Editor: Vermillion

“If Reno was dragged away by that cat doctor, what would happen to him?” Lin Sanjiu thought to herself as she saw the cat doctor off and turned to look at the siblings who hadn’t regained their sobriety. In the end, she still didn’t get to the bottom of what the cat doctor was. Compared to the size of the black and white cat, Zhu Mingchun’s body seemed too large for it. When Meowie started dragging the corpse away laboriously, he couldn’t even be seen because of the man’s two big feet. At first glance, it was as if a corpse was crawling on the ground. It made them a little worried whether the cat doctor could even successfully go back to his hospital.

“I have an office nearby,” the cat doctor had rejected their help graciously before he left. “I brought quite a few dissec— medical instruments over, so it is quite a well-equipped. It isn’t far, so you don’t have to come with me.” Obviously, he was directing his words at the siblings.

“Thank you, doctor. If we pass by, we will definitely visit you.” When Reno spoke with Meowie, he seemed to be influenced by the cat’s gentleman demeanor and so he started speaking very politely, “Are you lacking anything? We can bring you something as a sign of gratitude for the consultation if we meet again.”

Under the dark sky, the cat’s eyes appeared to be a deep, dark green. The cat doctor’s eyes lit up. He immediately nodded happily, “Since you offered, I would graciously accept it. If it is possible, I hope you can bring me some badly injured people or seriously ill people…”

“What do you plan to do with them!” Maybe she might have overthought things but Lin Sanjiu couldn’t help feeling a chill running through her body, even though she didn’t really have one. She quickly flew forward and interrupted the farewell between the cat and the siblings. However, the siblings have already accepted the cat doctor’s request eagerly. Meowie bade them farewell with a satisfied expression and continued dragging the corpse by its feet. While the corpse made scraping sounds across the ground, the cat headed slowly toward north.

Even though the cat doctor was very strange, and was actually coerced by Lin Sanjiu, he certainly helped them a lot. The three of them looked at each other and suddenly burst out laughing because they all looked pathetic.

Among them, Rena looked the worst. The wounds she received were enough for her to die ten times over. She tore her wounds when she continued fighting with Hannie. Below the point of her chest, her dress had been soaked with blood. The soaked dark-red dress hung from her body. The cat doctor gave her some simple wound treatment and wrapped a clean cloth around her stomach. With that, she avoided the scary warning from the cat doctor, “If you aren’t careful, your intestines might fall out.”

After Reno coughed up a few mouthfuls of blood, he could now walk slowly. Lin Sanjiu had used up too much of her higher consciousness, but she only needed some time to recover, so it wasn’t a big problem. After they had a short discussion, they decided to leave this place far behind them and find a place to rest and recover.

“I wonder if that cannonball man that attacked us was killed by the explosion,” Rena looked behind her at the collapsed buildings, which lay in ruins, “He didn’t even appear all this time.”

“If he’s not dead, he probably ran away,” Reno muttered somewhat furiously. “He better not let me see him again!” contemporary romance

They chatted and supported each other as they walked slowly. Meanwhile, Lin Sanjiu also scanned and monitored their surroundings with her higher consciousness. It wasn’t an easy journey.

The explosion and the collapsed building might have alerted the people or duoluozhongs around. Scanning with her higher consciousness, Lin Sanjiu spotted a few fleeting black shadows every now and then. They were currently weak and injured and were very easy targets for others, so they really could not afford getting seen by other posthumans. Consequently, when Lin Sanjiu spotted anything that seemed human, they would quickly move away to avoid meeting him or her. To ensure that she could spot other people in time, Lin Sanjiu used her maximum scanning range.

Throughout their journey, they avoided quite a few groups of posthumans that were heading for the collapsed bank building, some that were patrolling their territories, and others who were seeking out targets to kill. Finally, they found a secluded place which had no one within a one-kilometer radius.

“This seems to be a shopping lane,” Rena looked around. “Look, there is even a luxury goods store.”

Even though the street had lost its previous crowds and vibrancy, there were still many traces of how it was before. There was a bubble tea shop with a “Second cup, half-price” sign. There was a stall selling cheese fishball. There was a leather store that had a killer clearance sale. There were all kinds of shops and stalls along the street. As their doors were not closed, they gave the false impression that they were still operating under the dark skies of the night. Bamboo skewers and drink bottles littered the ground. They even spotted a “Please give me 6 dollars to go home” in chalk scribbled on the floor at one of the corners. Walking along this street that seemed to be filled with everything so familiar to her in her home world, in a place with so many signs of modern human civilization, Lin Sanjiu couldn’t help feeling distracted. For a moment, it was as if her countless brushes with death had just been a dream.

When they walked past a clothes store, Lin Sanjiu even went in and browsed for a few sets of clothes. After that, she converted them to cards and brought them along. Rena had to change her clothes because her dress was ruined. Lin Sanjiu also had to prepare some clothes as the organs and muscles on her upper body was almost complete. She knew that once her skin developed, she would need to wear clothes.

“Let’s avoid using a restaurant as our resting place,” Reno said as he tried very hard to avert his gaze from a sign which wrote, “Mega-sized, juicy Osaka beef cheeseburger!” This food from the normal worlds had a special allure to the kids. “I’m scared that I wouldn’t be able to resist eating food from this world.”

“There is a department store just up ahead,” Lin Sanjiu wrote. “Let’s go there.”

“Okay,” Rena replied quickly. “But, I wonder where are those buildings that the cat doctor mentioned, those we can earn lives 1 from.”

When Rena brought up the cat doctor, Reno’s face turned pale, as if he suddenly remembered what had happened before. It was as if he suddenly realized that the cat doctor was a cat. He tried to calm himself before he finally spoke with lingering fear, “Yes, yes. Let’s go and earn lives… But then again, can we trust what that cat say…”

“He is probably way more trustworthy than humans,” Lin Sanjiu thought to herself but did not write it out.

According to Meowie Hu, some of the buildings within the area affected by the pocket dimension had mutated. They held a sort of “mini pocket dimension” and fulfilling the requirements there would net them about 5 to 40 lives.

The cat had overheard the conversation of two people who had come out from a building but did not actually enter one before, so he could only tell them that much.

“Ah, we’re here.” Rena walked behind Lin Sanjiu. When she was at the door of the department store, she commented, “It’s quite beautiful.”
