Humans Shrunk 100 Times

Chapter 95: Du Jiajia

After toiling and struggling for half a day, they found themselves back to the pre-liberation era.

Chen Mu felt so annoyed early in the morning that smoke seemed to come out of his seven orifices. If it weren't for the fact that the other party was not an opponent, he really wanted to settle the score with that annoying cat.

Well, to be fair, the little kitty was actually well-intentioned. It saw that the two-legged creatures couldn't even keep an eye on a dead prey, so it had to bring it back again.

Kittens catching mouse pups to feed human babies... This is just beyond comprehension.

Helplessly, Chen Mu woke everyone up.

When the others saw the dead mouse back in its original place, they all couldn't help but laugh and cry.

The most desperate one was Cao Zishan.

Yesterday, he had already performed above his usual level, giving it his all just to show that he still had some strength left, all to secure a stable position in the new team.

And indeed, the effect was remarkable.

At the very least, Tang Jing's deep gaze on him increased significantly, and the uninformed Cao Zishan was quite pleased with himself.

In terms of overall ability, Cao Zishan was probably not on the same level as Wei Dalei, but precisely because he had significant limitations, his peak strength was stronger, which was reasonable.

If we disregard mental power and control, in a certain sense, their abilities had indeed reached a balance.

"How about I throw it again?" Cao Zishan said, but he lacked confidence in his words. The consequence of forcibly enhancing his abilities yesterday was that he almost collapsed. Even after a night's sleep, he hadn't fully recovered.

Fortunately, Tang Jing quickly stopped him, saying, "As long as Xiao Huang is here, no matter how many times we throw it, it will bring it back. There's no need to waste our energy."

"What should we do then?"

"There's a solution, actually," Tang Jing said.

"Hmm?"

"For example, we can have Chen Mu make a sealed plastic box to put the dead mouse in. At the very least, we can put a smooth plastic sheet under it, making it easier to drag."

"That makes sense..."

"But these are just temporary measures. Even if we solve this one, the cat will still find other things to bring us. If we keep playing this game with it, we might not be able to bear it for long."

"Do we have to get rid of Xiao Huang?"

"No, please don't..."

Zhao Xiaoyan and Du Jiajia weakly voiced their opposition. It was evident that they couldn't bear to do it, yet felt powerless.

These two girls loved cats the most. Every time Xiao Huang came around, they would sneakily climb up to the observation platform together to watch the kitty frolic and roll around below, giggling like fools.

"Let's not talk about killing the cat; it would be enough if it doesn't play us to death." Tang Jing chuckled.

Du Jiajia stuck out her tongue. "Xiao Huang is just too young. When it grows a little bigger, it probably won't come anymore."

Zhao Xiaoyan giggled and said, "It's closest to Du Jiajia. Whenever both of us go to the observation platform, Xiao Huang would perch on the door, trying to jump up continuously, as if it could see us. But when I'm alone, it doesn't pay any attention to me."

There seemed to be a hint of jealousy in Zhao Xiaoyan's words. After all, it was she who named Xiao Huang, but the cat seemed to prefer Du Jiajia more.

Tang Jing and Chen Mu both turned their gaze to Du Jiajia and then exchanged glances.

"Du Jiajia, have you ever fed stray cats before?"

"Yes, I have."

"Have you fed this one?" Chen Mu asked again.

"How would I know? Cats all look pretty much the same." Du Jiajia giggled.

"How many cats have you fed?"

"Every single one."

"Every single one?!" Everyone was shocked.

Du Jiajia said with embarrassment, "You know I like to have snacks with me. Whenever I see cats around the school, I usually share some with them..."

Suddenly, Chen Mu remembered the last time he passed by Du Jiajia's seat and saw her secretly eating potato chips, and she even shared some with the cat.

So...

Has it become a habit of feeding?

A girl who loves food, loves cats, and is quite generous, indeed, it's possible that she has fed all the stray cats around the school.

"Is it possible that you fed this little cat before, and it recognized your scent, so it comes to you every day to play?"

"I don't think so..." Du Jiajia hesitated. "Can such a young cat remember me?"

"How about we try it?" Tang Jing suddenly suggested.

"How do we try?"

As they were talking, they heard a familiar sound at the door again.

"Perfect timing."

Tang Jing said, "Let's all gather near the door crack, and then everyone can move around freely to test Xiao Huang's reaction."

This was a simple plan.

Everyone walked to the side of the door in a massive group. Following Tang Jing's instructions, each person walked back and forth by the door, minding their own business without interfering with others.

The result came out quickly.

Although the crowd was chaotic, the little cat outside accurately captured Du Jiajia's position and kept following her as she moved around.

The truth was revealed.

Du Jiajia was indeed the culprit.

"So, was that dead mouse a gift for me?" Du Jiajia bent down and looked through the crack at the almost rotting dead mouse outside. She was both touched and hesitant to touch it.

"It must be. Go and accept your gift quickly," Zhao Xiaoyan giggled.

Chen Mu sighed, "Even if we know this now, it seems it doesn't change anything."

Indeed.

Even if they knew the cat was coming for Du Jiajia, they had no way to solve the current problem. They couldn't possibly drive Du Jiajia away and let her go off with the cat...

Tang Jing remained silent for a while and then shook her head, saying, "With our current size and the scent we emit, is it really possible for the cat to smell us from such a far distance?"

"Hmm...?"

"And besides, Du Jiajia has fed so many cats, why did only this one come to her? Logically speaking, after humans stopped intervening, the stray cats in the school should have been freer, right?"

"It seems like a valid point."

"So, what could be the reason?"

The discussion seemed to be going in circles.

Tang Jing glanced at Chen Mu and seeing that he didn't speak, she continued, "Is it possible that this is Du Jiajia's special ability?"

"An ability?"

Du Jiajia was the first to jump up.

Since Tang Jing was the one who said it, it should be highly credible, right?

Am I finally going to become a woman with special abilities too?!

Lately, Du Jiajia had been driven almost crazy. As everyone around her awakened their abilities, even the four newcomers possessed their own special powers. The level of her impatience was unimaginable.

At first, she didn't even care about Chen Mu and Dong Junwei's abilities, thinking that if she awakened her own, it had to be something really cool, like shooting fireballs from both hands.

But later on, she thought Chen Mu's ability was quite good, and she would be fine with having the same power as him.

And then, she thought Zhao Xiaoyan and Sun Yuan's abilities were enough.

In the end, she even felt envious when she looked at Zhu Hao.

And now, her thoughts were simple:

It doesn't matter what it is.

Just give me an ability.
