Strange Life of a Cat - Chapter 255

[Chapter 244 Returning to the Base]

Are mice not afraid of cats?

A small mouse posing in front of a cat?

This mouse is not even the size of an egg. Why does it pull?

To be honest, this is the first time Zheng Tan has encountered such a situation.

Therefore, the original decision to throw away the obstructive mouse after the lead cat left was changed.

The vines on this little mouse were still tied, and it was not completely bitten. What was even more arrogant was that after the red-haired mouse glared at Zheng Tan, it continued to bite again, and did not bite Zheng Tan at all. In the eyes of the meaning.

Really reckless.

Zheng Tan raised his hand and planned to teach this wild red-haired rat a lesson.

The red-haired rat was tied with vines before, but after walking for so long, the red-haired rat has squeezed its head out of the “cocoon”, and at the same time, the small tail is also exposed under the “cocoon”.

Zheng Tan bent his palm, lifted the red-haired rat’s tail, and twirled it in a circle. After about twenty circles, Zheng Tan stopped.

The red-haired rat didn’t move for a long time, and seemed to have been turned dizzy. Zheng Tan raised his hand and prepared to pull it twice to see if the mouse had been turned stupid. Suddenly, he stretched his neck and bit him. If Zheng Tan didn’t stop his hands quickly, and if the red-haired mouse was indeed affected by the rotation, he would have been bitten.

Watching the red-haired rat bite the vine, you know that this guy’s teeth and bite force are quite lethal.

Still have the courage and strength to bite?

But at this time, Zheng Tan didn’t plan to swirl around any more, and just cut off its cervical vertebrae.

The important thing now is to hurry, he doesn’t have time to spend here with a mouse.

However, just as Zheng Tan raised his claws halfway, the red-haired rat, which had almost bitten off the vine, suddenly stopped, looked around vigilantly, stretched his neck to look under the tree, and showed a cautious feeling, as if Something dangerous was found.

Zheng Tan didn’t know if the red-haired rat really found something unusual, or if he was playing something else, just in case.

Zheng Tan still has to be alert.

If there is an abnormality, you have to pay attention to deal with it early.

So, Zheng Tan quickly held down the red-haired mouse, preventing it from moving.

Then look under the tree.

The red-haired rat, who was suddenly held down by Zheng Tan, squeaked.

struggling.

But he couldn’t move it away from Zheng Tan’s palm, but Zheng Tan didn’t mean to pity it at all,

and he could directly press it to death with a little more force.

At this time, the red-haired rat felt that the cat in front of him was also a danger.

Perhaps in its memory, it only has a deep sense of fear for the cats in that area, and has no memory of Zheng Tan, an animal with a very unfamiliar smell. It is estimated that he feels that Zheng Tan does not want to eat it at all. That’s why it was so rampant before, and its experience since birth told it that being bigger than it doesn’t mean it’s dangerous, and being smaller than it doesn’t mean it’s not lethal.

Unfortunately, this time, it miscalculated.

This cat really has no intention of eating it, but it is not easy to mess with, and it has enough ability to kill it with one palm.

So after a cry, he stopped. After struggling for a while, he calmed down again, but his eyes wandered around, thinking about how to escape.

Zheng Tan didn’t pay attention to the red-haired rat who was stepping on it, and stared down attentively, supporting his ears to listen to the surrounding movement.

Just when he felt that the red-haired rat was playing with him again, he suddenly heard a small sound.

Zheng Tan, who was about to trouble the red-haired rat, immediately focused his attention to pay attention to the sound.

The rustling sound of rubbing against the ground and the surrounding grass gradually came to this side.

Zheng Tan held his breath and looked over there, feeling nervous for a while.

He could already guess what it was.

A snake with a thick bowl came out of the grass over there. That cat had no difficulty in swallowing a cat the size of Zheng Tan. Zheng Tan had also seen such a big snake in the city, but it was specially raised by some people. And at that time, Zheng Tan hadn’t turned into a cat yet, so I didn’t feel too scared, but now, in this jungle full of dangers, the hair on Zheng Tan’s whole body almost exploded.

Fortunately, the direction of the snake was not the tree where Zheng Tan was staying. Moreover, the snake had already eaten, and a prominent protrusion could be seen on the snake’s body.

Looking around, Zheng Tan guessed that this snake should be going to the wetland not far away.

After the snake left, Zheng Tan waited for a while before getting down from the tree.

This time, Zheng Tan didn’t plan to release or kill the red-haired rat directly. He found another vine to tie the red-haired rat. This time, he spent a little more thought. On the next lap, repeat a few times so that even if you bite off one of the vines, it won’t let it run away immediately.

Yes, Zheng Tan intends to keep this guy as an early warning.

This can be called a well-preserved virgin forest. There are many dangerous and inaccessible places. In the ancient and magical mountains and forests, various creatures are multiplying and proliferating. Countless life generations are active here. The primitive vastness makes people feel deep. Unpredictable.

In the past 20 years, expedition teams have been organized at home and abroad to enter this mountain forest with various legends and stories. Some universities and research institutes have also organized field test teams. It takes one or two months or even longer to enter, but still There are many unreachable places, undiscovered miracles, and it also shows that there are countless unpredictable crises here.

Zheng Tan admitted that he underestimated this mountain forest. In Zheng Tan’s original consciousness, the forests full of various crises were not all similar to the Amazon jungle?

There is nothing to be afraid of in this place in Border Mountain City. Even if he followed the red tabby cat into the woods, Zheng Tan did not encounter danger or danger, but now, he suddenly realized that he was thinking too simply.

Among the wild animals living in this forest, there are many hidden dangers that Zheng Tan may not be able to discover immediately, and those unknown dangers.

Zheng Tan doesn’t think he is smarter than those expedition personnel, and his life experience in the woods is not comparable to that of such a little mouse. Since he doesn’t have that high IQ, he can’t compare to the original inhabitants of these woods, and he doesn’t have a second red stripe. The cat came to lead the way, Zheng Tan chose to bring this red-haired mouse, maybe it could still be used, and even if it wasn’t, it could be used as a backup ration, and it could also be used as a bait to distract the attention of dangerous objects in case of danger.

The speed of returning to the base is much slower than the speed of entering the forest, in the process.

Zheng Tan has to be vigilant around him, stop from time to time to listen to what’s going on around him, and take this red-haired rat with him. Once he finds that the red-haired rat is about to gnaw off all the vines, he will tie it with another vine, alright. There are many plants and many vines here. Zheng Tan is looking for those that are resistant to gnawing, and some have burrs, which will increase resistance to the project of the red-haired rat gnawing on the vines.

It is said that there are many plants that have long since become extinct in other parts of the world, what botanists call “living fossils”.

Maybe those botanists will scream when they see it here.

But Zheng Tan had no interest at all.

On the way, Zheng Tan saw a very big tree. Zheng Tan didn’t know what kind of tree it was, and he had never seen it before. It was probably because he was too old.

There is a hole in the trunk.

There were many snakes crawling in and out of the hole.

Zheng Tan saw it when he jumped up a tree to judge the direction of walking and looked around, glanced over there from a distance, and ran away quickly.

He didn’t dare to look for death.

Speaking of the harvest, Zheng Tan actually picked up a piece of amber, which was picked up when he went to drink water by the stream. I heard people say that amber was picked up in the mining area or the seaside, but I didn’t expect to pick it up here.

The piece of amber was about the size of a quail egg, and there was a small flower in it. I don’t know what kind of flower it was. If it was a variety from tens of millions of years ago, it would be worth collecting. Zheng Tan found a vine to wrap the piece of amber around, and then Put it on the neck, so it is not easy to lose, so I will give it to Xiaoyuzi when I go back.

With a piece of amber, Zheng Tan didn’t feel very good. This thing is light and easy to carry.

On the way, Zheng Tan ate some fruit and caught a snake.

He didn’t know which snakes could eat and which ones couldn’t. Anyway, he happened to see the same kind of snake as the one he ate last time, so he killed it. It was a little smaller than the one caught by the tabby cat. In order to hurry, Zheng Tan bit his head again. Eat some.

Eat the rest to feed the red-haired rat, anyway, it’s just these things, it likes to eat or not.

The red-haired rat seemed to be starving and refused to come.

Many rodents are omnivores. This red-haired rat can eat meat and vegetarian food, which saves Zheng Tan a lot of things.

After walking for three days in a row, at dusk on the third day, Zheng Tan quickened his pace because he could smell the breath of people.

When the sky darkened, Zheng Tan was already running on the mountain where the base was located, but the light was dark at this time, and many people didn’t notice Zheng Tan.

Although he was already very tired, Zheng Tan was very excited when he saw the base. He didn’t slow down on his feet, but even faster. He even forgot that he still had a vine tied to a red-haired rat in his mouth.

In the dormitory of the base, Jiao Dad closed the door, walked out of the dormitory, walked out, and smoked a cigarette.

These days, they were in a bad mood because of the cat thing. The two children didn’t go out with the internship team for several days. They said they were waiting in the room, and the windows were not closed, so they thought about when. The cat is back.

Papa Jiao was searching in the wild, and even hired some villagers to help find it. Ma Jiao asked the residents who lived in the mountains one by one, and they only said that they had seen a black cat a few days ago, and then they never saw it again.

In fact, many residents around, as well as some teachers and security personnel at the base, already believed that the cat was dragged away and eaten by some wild animal.

This has also happened here, and there are even big dogs. After a while, you will hear that wrecks have been found in the wild, and the bones are full of tooth marks of unknown animals.

Several security guards who came out on patrol in the base saw Dad Jiao and came over to say hello and ask about the cat in his house. These days, they always saw the teacher named Jiao come out to smoke. They heard that adults and children in the family lost their cats. I’m dying of anxiety, and there are still cat-hunting notices posted outside.

“Mr. Jiao, hasn’t your cat been found yet?” asked a young-looking man.

Jiao Dad shook his head.

“Don’t worry, maybe it will come back by itself. In the past, a cat disappeared for a month and came back on its own.”

“Yeah, don’t worry, just go back and rest when you walk, but don’t go out, Yesterday someone on the mountain went out in the middle of the night and was bitten by a snake, fortunately it wasn’t a highly poisonous snake.”

Several guards were talking to each other, and suddenly one of them pointed to the wall not far behind Jiao Dad and shouted, “What is that? ?!”

Zheng Tan had just climbed over the wall when he found a beam of light coming over, so he jumped down quickly and planned to run towards the building where he lived, but when he hit the ground, the vine suddenly broke, and the red-haired rat also bit the vine almost. , With the strength of the vines pulling Zheng Tan to the ground, he escaped and was about to escape, but was held down by Zheng Tan with a slap.

When Dad Jiao grabbed one of the guard’s flashlights and ran over, he happened to see Zheng Tan and Zheng Tan slapped the squeaky little mouse on the grass.
