Taming beasts starts with raising cats

The sun gradually rises.

The view here is very good,

Looking into the eyes,

The clouds are rolling and relaxing,

Among the vast mountains, white clouds are like jade ribbons passing through the green mountains.

The location of the building is exactly halfway up the mountain at its feet.

Just like taking root in the ground,

Digging into the soil beneath your feet.

You can still see cement floors and floor tiles within a five to six meter radius of the building.

Five or six meters away from the building is a virgin coniferous pine forest covered with weeds.

The pine trees nearby are very tall and tall.

From the appearance,

It must be a pine tree,

But no one in the building could tell what kind it was.

On the rugged and mottled tree bark,

There are many dull pale golden spots scattered throughout.

Some people speculate that this may be a novel species,

Just like there are two moons in the sky,

Even the moon has two,

It is normal for the plants here to be different from those on earth.

Everything around us is full of magic and strangeness,

Time travel is not an unfamiliar term to young people.

There were a lot of people out of the building,

These people explore their surroundings cautiously and cautiously.

From time to time, someone picks or picks up some plants and stones and returns along the same route.

It was like showing off trophies and sharing them with those who stayed in the building.

"This rock is so hard, I can't even break the skin if I hit it with an iron rod."

"I found a lot of dried pine cones under the pine forest, and some of them had pine nuts in them."

"It seems like pine nuts are edible, right?"

"Of course you can eat it. Have you never eaten it?"

"I heard that pine nuts have a lot of oil. It's a bit cold here. Eat more pine nuts to keep warm."

There was a lot of bustle under the building,

Many people gathered together in twos and threes, mostly the elderly, women and children.

Bai Ye sat on a small step near the gate.

His face looked normal, but deep down he was worried.

Looking at so many people around me,

While feeling relieved, there are also some worries.

Although there is strength in numbers,

But the amount of food that so many people eat every day is definitely not a small number.

The building was previously located in the city center and has been built for five or six years. It is located near the business district and has a high occupancy rate.

There are twenty-eight floors in total.

Four staircases and ten households.

In addition, all this happened probably in the middle of the night, and most of the residents were staying in the building, so there must have been a lot of people crossing over.

Even though many people came downstairs, there were still many people left in the building.

Many of the windows upstairs were open, and heads could be seen behind each window.

Bai Ye calculated in his heart that there were at least more than 500 people in the building.

This is still considered low.

so many people,

Can this nearby area sustain enough food for so many people?

There is a food chain everywhere,

The food chain here has stabilized. There is an inherent original ecological chain,

I and others are outsiders who have stepped in.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the destruction of the original ecological chain...

If you want to get food, you have to grab it from the mouths of other animals!

After all, this is what the ancestors on the earth did back then. They used stone axes, bone spears, traps, and vine nets...

Using their wisdom and blood, they stepped on the piles of corpses of other ethnic groups, step by step, to become the overlord of the earth.

But now there is nothing in the building,

In addition to this building, there are hundreds of unarmed humans.

Overnight, he returned from the top of the clouds to the dust.

It would be nice to have a gun.

Bai Ye suddenly missed this powerful weapon.

I don’t want to survive in this primeval forest without weapons.

"It's just hard mode."

Bai Ye felt aggrieved.

If a miracle could happen...

Bai Ye couldn't help but raise his head and look at the blue sky in the distance.

It would be great if this building could suddenly travel back in time...

Suddenly, Bai Ye, who was looking into the sky, paused and stood up in a hurry.

He looked into the distance,

In the distant sky, several black spots were approaching at an exaggerated speed.

Getting closer,

The shadow grew larger and larger.

Bai Ye took out toilet paper from his pocket and wiped his stained glasses.

Then put it back on and look up again.

The next second,

Bai Ye left without hesitation and ran into the building behind him.

First, avoid the crowds in front of the entrance hall of the building.

After he ran into the building, he shouted to the unaware people outside the building: "Run, there is something in the sky!"

Although Bai Ye reminded them,

But still not everyone raised their heads immediately.

Some people heard it, but they didn't pay attention.

Some people react more slowly, and after a moment of sluggishness, they look over their heads in hindsight.

Then,

Accompanied by several frightened shouts,

The crowd moved.

Like an undercurrent, it rushed towards the entrance of the unit building in an instant.

And it's getting worse.

Because it's right above your head,

Several strange birds the size of buses made an emergency landing from a high altitude and flew towards them at extremely high speeds.

With a heavy sense of oppression,

Those wings stretched out in the sun,

It is a hard feather with a metallic luster,

There is also the waterfall-like white ice mist that surrounds the body, leaving a long white afterimage in the sky behind it.

Just like the devil rushing out of hell.

They are getting closer,

The cold look is full of greed and ferocity,

Sharp barbed beak.

The greedy and scarlet tongue of the bird,

There is also the terrifying pressure caused by the huge size, just like the natural oppression of vegetarians facing carnivores.

Bai Ye had no time to see more,

Because he had been carried towards the depths of the building by the surging crowd.

Escape all the way inward,

do not know why,

It's obviously very far away.

But when I saw those big birds flying in the sky,

Bai Ye felt an inexplicable palpitation in his heart.

Just like facing a tiger or a lion in a zoo without fences, it is difficult to muster the courage to resist.

Escape into a safe passage,

in the darkness,

There are people all around,

You push me, I push you,

Vaguely,

Bai Ye felt several hands grabbing his back,

Pull yourself back!

A hand stretched out from nowhere and grabbed his back collar.

Hiss——

The sound of clothes being torn came to his ears, and Bai Ye felt that his down jacket was torn open.

Oh shit! Don't let me know who it is!

Bai Ye cursed secretly in his heart.

I don’t know when all the safety passage signs in the corridor were extinguished.

These safe passage markings only last a few hours after a power outage.

It's dark now in the corridor,

Bai Ye tried his best to hold on to the wall, and then ran upstairs.

Don't let yourself fall,

He didn't know why he was running, but there were people behind him. If he didn't run, he would have to fall.

If you fall down, you may never get a chance to stand up again.

Don't die in the mouth of a strange bird,

But to fall at the feet of his own people, that would be too unfair.

boom!

Suddenly there was a loud noise outside.

Bai Ye's hand holding the wall clearly felt the wall tremble violently when he touched it!

Behind, the screams of many people came from downstairs not far away,

Heartbreaking cry.

"Help~"

"Dad~!"

"ah--"

Vaguely,

Bai Ye heard howling in the distance and behind...someone was shouting, someone was crying.

He finally hid in the corridor on the third floor.

With his back against the wall,

slowly,

along the wall,

Sliding down little by little,

The butt touches the cold tiles on the ground,

Bai Ye lowered his head and leaned forward slightly.

Breathing heavily, trying to relieve the turbulent emotions in his heart and... his somewhat weak body.

"That bird is too big."

The figure he had just glimpsed appeared in Bai Ye's mind.

It left an indelible memory in my mind.

I...

Bai Ye bit his lip.

"This is hell difficulty!"

In fact, when he discovered that it was possible to travel through time, Bai Ye considered whether he had traveled to a world with extraordinary power.

But subconsciously, he still chose to escape.

Avoid this scary guess.

If we say we have traveled to a strange world without extraordinary power,

If it's still difficult difficulty.

Then, travel to a world with extraordinary power,

It’s definitely hell difficulty!

Although extraordinary power sounds very impressive,

But you have to have a life to get it! What's more, I and others are still a group of gangsters with unknown origins.

In these deep mountains and old forests,

There's no guarantee that someday a scary monster will come out, fart or burp, and blow himself and others to death.

What does killing you have to do with you?

Thinking of this,

Bai Ye thought about those strange birds rushing down again.

"Son of a bitch." Bai Ye cursed.

He didn't know that he was scolding those strange birds,

Or scold the shit that brought him into this world.

"I want to go home. I just wanted to stay in a B\u0026B cheaply. Why did this unfortunate thing happen to me?" An aggrieved voice came from the left side beside me.

Bai Ye looked to the left.

But it's too dark and I can't see anything clearly.

All you can see is darkness,

"Then you are indeed unlucky." Someone said from far away in the corridor. "This area is a business district. There are so many B\u0026Bs, but you chose to stay here."

The man smiled as he spoke.

The man on the left who just said he was unlucky also laughed together.

There were sparse laughter in the dark corridor.

Smiling and smiling,

All done too.

Eventually it turned into cries.

...

Bai Ye rested for a while and groped his way outside.

It seems like I stepped on something,

A man's scream came from his feet,

"You stepped on my hand!"

"Sorry sorry."

Bai Ye apologized and walked towards the safe passage according to his memory, and then stepped on another person's foot.

Bai Ye arrived at the seventh floor while shouting for permission.

Touch the keyhole with your hand, and then open the door.

A furry thing at my feet wants to go out,

Bai Ye hooked his long legs and moved inward from the crack of the door.

"Kick" the cat on your feet home.

The corridor outside was dark. If the cat ran out, he might not be found.

There are windows in the living room, but the curtains are closed.

But even the dim light filtering through the curtains in the living room is much better than the total darkness in the hallway.

As the door opened, the light from inside the house attracted the attention of some people in the corridor.

In the darkness, some shadows followed.

Bai Ye quickly entered the house and closed the door.

Bang bang bang.

There were banging sounds on the door and shouts from outside the room.

In the cramped space, the boundaries between humans and animals seem to have become blurred.

Someone shouted outside the house to come in.

Bai Ye found a kitchen knife to embolden himself, and hit the shoe cabinet with the back of the knife, making a loud thud.

"Knock on the door again and chop you to death!" Bai Ye lowered his voice and let out a deep roar.

It was quiet outside the door, but Bai Ye couldn't calm down for a long time.

The only sound left in the air was Bai Ye's breathing.

After a long time, he heard footsteps walking away outside the door.

Bai Ye closed his eyes and held the kitchen knife in his hand without realizing it.

Bai Ye would definitely not let strangers into his home at this time.

It is no different than opening the door to welcome a thief.

Even if the person who comes in is not necessarily someone with ulterior motives,

But Bai Ye will never leave his own safety in other people's thoughts.

This is stupid.

Bai Ye once thought that there were many good people in the world and they would lend money to anyone. But after the money was lent out, he realized that he was too naive. He doesn't want to be naive again. In this strange world, the price paid for innocence may be life.

...

Bai Ye looked at the two cats at his feet.

When he had some free time, he always felt that something was wrong.

Because they spend time together, he knows the size of these two little guys very well.

But at this moment, these two cats made him feel something was wrong.

Especially Duoduo.

I have an electronic scale at home. Although the power is out, small household appliances like electronic scales that use batteries can still be used.

Bai Ye quickly measured Duoduo's weight.

It actually weighs 20 pounds! ?

Even though I measured only 14 pounds last week, I suddenly gained a full 6 pounds.

And Berry's weight suddenly increased from 8 pounds to 12 pounds.

And if Bai Ye guessed correctly, all these abnormalities began to happen after time travel.

Although it is still in the category of "cat".

But it’s starting to become unscientific...

...

Bai Ye stood by the window, looking down from a high position.

There was a large amount of white frost remaining on the ground at the entrance to the unit building. In the remnants of the frost, several bodies were lying on the ground.

Family members came out to collect the body.

The attack caused by the strange bird that came out of nowhere cast a layer of haze over the building that had just passed through.

Death threats loom overhead.

Bai Ye heard it, and there was a cry downstairs.

This was the first time Bai Ye saw a dead person, even though he was more than twenty meters away.

Even though the distance was far away, the ferociousness of the corpse was much lessened, but he still inevitably felt the desolation of a dead rabbit and a fox.

These people who were alive just a moment ago,

Maybe it was an old man who was standing nearby talking and laughing just now, maybe it was a child who was laughing and playing, and life was still blooming like a flower.

In an instant, it turned into a cold corpse.

Unable to speak anymore, I silently stared at the living on the far shore.

These families cannot find the coffin;

He took a mat from home and wrapped the body in it.

Then take it to the building.

A small group of people stopped them.

"You can't bring corpses in."

"This is my mother!!!" The man glared.

"That's a body too."

"The person who died was not your relative. If it were your relative, could you still have stopped him? When that strange bird came just now, you ran faster than anyone else. My mother is over fifty years old and she can't run at all!" the man vented. roar.

"But what if a plague breaks out." The man opposite refused to give an inch and his voice was loud.

"There will be a bloody plague in such cold weather!"

"Bodies will also rot and stink."

"What's wrong with me bringing my mother home! Yesterday I promised her to take her to travel abroad. Why is it gone today? It's gone." The man yelled as if to vent his anger.

A physical fight almost broke out.

The people in front of him who were blocking him from entering the building were in a difficult position. They thought that the man opposite had just lost his mother, and they also knew not to irritate the man too much at this time.

The few people who stopped the man raised their heads and shouted to the people watching the show upstairs: "Why is it our fault? You can also say something if you are allowed to be brought in, otherwise we will not care. If the body is disposed of No, if it’s rotten and smelly or there’s a plague, just wait! It’s not our neighbor anyway!”

Hearing these words, the theatergoers upstairs began to condemn the families who insisted on bringing the bodies into the building.

The argument reached a stalemate for a while, and finally a few older people came out from the building and talked for a while with the family members who had lost their loved ones.

Because the distance was too far, and there was no loud roar anymore, the voice was much quieter, so Bai Ye couldn't hear the specific content.

There should be some kind of agreement reached.

Several family members who had lost their loved ones carried the body to the woods aside, and several people followed with shovels.

Bai Ye pursed his lips and looked away.

Dangdangdang~

The last few pellets of cat food fall into the cat bowl, and the last bits of cat food in the cat food bucket are poured into the bowl.

"Fortunately, I stocked up on a few bags of cat food a few days ago, and there are still two big bags in the cabinet." Bai Ye said to himself, looking at the two cats humming and engrossed in eating.

"It was enough for three months originally, but your enlarged size and appetite are going to eat me up."

Bai Ye felt desolate,

The cat's food is only enough for two months;

The food he stocked in his refrigerator and kitchen could only last him for ten days at most. He just checked the ingredients he had stocked.

If it really doesn't work...

Bai Ye's eyes fell on the cat food bag, and as a father, I had no choice but to taste the cat food for you.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Dong Dong Dong.

"Is anyone there?"
