Chapter 143 â Cat Dadâs Cat is Angry, too!
Nyanko kept licking the charred skin on Xiaomaoâs chest. She cried while she meowed.
Nya (Papa, are you hurt?)
Although Xiaomaoâs appearance was that of a werecat with four tentacle wings on his back, Nyanko remembered his scent. She looked at his face and sobbed.
Xiaomaoâs expression softened. He rubbed her head and picked off the dust off her fur.
âIâm alright, munya. Where are the others?â
Nya! (Mama is hiding in the sleeping room!)
âBedroom, munya? Got it! What about Mir and Mu-Nyang, munya?â
Nya-Nya (I donât know. I ran away from the living room, but those scary hooman went up. I ran out of my hiding place.)
.
DING
.
Xiaomao finally heard the loud bell sound. It had been annoying him for a while now, but he didnât pay attention. However, Xiaomao continued to disregard it as he needed to find Mu-Nyang, Mir, and Mama Cat before the soldiers find them.
He headed out of the kitchen with Nyanko in his arms. When he got to the corridor, something as big as a humanâs head flew from outside the house and came for him.
Xiaomao widened his eyes as he recognized the shape.
It was a rocket!
âRPG?! NAÃVE!â
One of the tentacles coiled around the rocket and caught it before the front part of the projectile hit anything. Then, Xiaomao flipped it over and threw it like an American football, aiming at the person that had fired it at him.
The soldier couldnât react in time. The rocket hit his face and cracked his skull. However, it didnât detonate.
NYA! (Papa is so cool! But your arms smell so good. Can I eat it?)
âMy tentacles are not food, Nyanko.â
Xiaomao snickered and rushed to the second floor.
While running up the stairs, Mama Cat dashed toward him. She jumped and landed on Xiaomaoâs face.
TUTUTUTUTUTU
The sound of a helicopter alarmed Xiaomao. He grabbed the black cat and covered her in his arms along with Nyanko.
BOOM BOOM BOOM
The helicopterâs machine gun rained bullets into the house! It even fired explosive rockets into his room!
The second floor exploded and collapsed!
.
TUTUTUTUTUTU
In the attack helicopterâs cockpit, the pilot watched how the rockets destroyed the house and nearby buildings. He didnât care what kind of damage he did to the civilian properties as he was instructed by his boss â Pan Xian.
The pilot was a private mercenary under Pangu Universe Incorporate. He worked in a similar field as Miao Damao and Katerina, but he was in charge of air support as he had no superpower.
While the pilot was focusing on blasting Xiaomaoâs house to smithereens, he heard the additional command from his team commander.
âHurry and withdraw! Get out of there, now!â
The pilot frowned, but his hand moved the collective pitch control lever and ascended the helicopter higher, following the order. The chopper climbed the altitude and stopped shooting.
As the captain was about to turn the attack helicopter back to base, his co-pilot screamed.
The captain looked at his partner, âWhatâs wrong?â
The co-pilot didnât answer. Rather, he couldnât answer.
On the co-pilotâs lap, an orange cat was cleaning her face with her paw, which resembled an octopus tentacle with a catâs paw. Her other cat legs remained the same, but four other tentacles were still inside his partnerâs chest, gauging his heart out.
Mew! (Dirty hooman!)
The pilot captain was horrified.
âMONSTER!â
SOEK!
Something hard pierced through the back of the pilot captainâs head and exited through the forehead. His consciousness turned dark, and he didnât get to hear the sound of the killer.
Munya! (Destroying my crib, go to hell!)
The white tentacle retracted back, leaving a hole in the captainâs head and the seat.
Mu-Nyangâs right tentacle arm reverted to a catâs front leg. He shook it and splattered the blood of the dead human.
Munya! (Letâs go, Mir!)
Mew! (Yes, my lord.)
Both cat monsters faded into smoke and vanished from the cockpit.
Without a pilot, the attack helicopter rapidly descended and crashed into another civilian house, causing a huge fire and explosion.
.
CRACK
The collapsed house continued to burn. The fire even caught the neighborsâ houses. Fortunately, all residents had been evacuated.
The soldiers that had been surrounding this neighbor gazed at the burning houses and clicked their tongues, questioning their superior officersâ decision. Although they had been briefed that they were up against a group of terrorists, they didnât expect the assault teams to use heavy firearms.
âWhat are we fighting? A freaking Hulk?â One of the soldiers complained as he glanced at the wrecked APC.
âS-Sir, what are we dealing with?! How could there be a monster here?!â Another soldier still couldnât believe his eyes. He saw a teenager send an APC flying and transformed into a humanoid cat with tentacles from his back.
âProbably a cultivator again,â Replied a senior officer. Although he was in shock as well, he knew a bit more information than the others.
âCultivator?â
âThis is probably your first sortie, right?â
âY-Yes, sir.â
âI see. By the way, have you been following the news decades ago about an online game that turns humans into superheroes?â
âErr, I havenât heard of it.â
âWhen you go back, check the old news. Game junkies got superhuman power and became terrorists, and weâre tasked to eliminate all of them if we see one. That house over there has one of them.â
ââ¦â
The soldier was astonished. He gulped and wondered if he could have a superpower, too.
The senior officer saw the young soldierâs expression and smirked, âYou want a superpower?â
The soldier nodded.
âYouâll get one eventually. For now, letâs get back alive, and Iâll put your name in the superhero project that our government has just passed the bills.â
âY-Yes, sir!â
The senior officer looked at the sky and noticed that more choppers from the news stations arrived.
The officer was annoyed when he saw the civilian helicopters. He brought out a radio and called his operator.
âCan someone chase away the civilian choppers? Weâre fighting terrorists here!â
Before the operator on the radio could answer, the attack helicopter that destroyed Xiaomaoâs house dove into the house in the neighboring area.
BOOM
The helicopter and the house exploded.
