My Cat Has Superpower?!
Chapter 52 - 52 52 The Escaping Lu Zixun

52: Chapter 52 The Escaping Lu Zixun 52: Chapter 52 The Escaping Lu Zixun Driven by his trust in Lu Zixun, Xiong Kang raised two fingers.

With a turn and a kick, he struck Ling’s chest armor.

At the same time, the sub-sword shot out swiftly, aiming straight for Ling’s skull.

Beside him, Lu Zixun locked onto the position of the Blood Worms, activating Flash’s speed.

Before the Blood Worms even touched the ground, their claws, glinting with cold light, had already slashed through, ripping the Blood Worms in two.

“Ding—Fear value from Blood Worms detected: +500.”

“Ding—Fear value from Blood Worms detected: +500.”

“Ding—Fear value from Blood Worms detected: +500.”

“Ding—Hatred value from Ling detected: +500.”

With this wave, Lu Zixun had reaped 5000 feeling units.

However, Lu Zixun felt no joy in his heart; he felt very uncomfortable, somewhat nauseous.

It seems using superpower excessively still has its drawbacks.

“You’ve got quite a strong ally there,” the tail swept across, knocking away the sub-sword, Ling took a step back and sneered coldly, “But do you think you’re the only one with helpers?”

The door to the control room on the Heavy Truck was flung open, and out came Ye Xun, wearing a wicked smile, dragging a person along.

From the moment they saw Ye Xun, the situation turned dire for both Lu Zixun and Xiong Kang.

Previously, Zeng Haoyang had confidently told Lu Zixun that High-level Blood Worms couldn’t possibly be here.

But now there was a problem.

Not only were there High-level Aliens, but High-level Blood Worms had also shown up.

This inequity in intelligence was truly life-threatening.

As Lu Zixun was inwardly lamenting, Xiong Kang’s eyes narrowed sharply: “Come!”

A piercing shriek came from the sky as a seven-foot sword with seven small holes flew over.

Looking at the distinctly more resplendent sword, Lu Zixun figured it must be Xiong Kang’s Mother Sword.

The Mother and Child Dual Swords hovered around Xiong Kang, bursting with dazzling brilliance.

Upon hearing the shriek, Ye Xun’s lips curled up slightly.

Seeing the Mother and Child Swords return to their place, Ye Xun let out a maniacal laugh: “Retreat.”

“Bang!”

Spitting out a smoke grenade, Ling tossed it into the cargo space.

The smoke immediately obscured Xiong Kang and Lu Zixun’s vision.

“Trying to escape?

Leave none behind!”

Xiong Kang’s pupils constricted, cold murderous intent filled the cargo space, and the Mother and Child Swords pierced through the cargo space in pursuit of Ling.

“Thanks.”

Ye Xun dashed in front of Ling, bracing with both hands.

A shield made of flesh appeared in front, blocking the Mother and Child Swords’ assault, the impact sending both Abnormal Creatures flying.

When the smoke cleared, Xiong Kang’s expression was somewhat unsightly, and he ultimately sighed.

The Mother and Child Swords returned to his arms, and Xiong Kang bent down to hold Long Ya in his embrace.

“What happened?”

Taking off his Invisibility Cloak, Lu Zixun walked up to Xiong Kang and looked up at him questioningly.

“We’ve been outplayed; the operation to encircle and suppress them is off the table now.”

Shaking his head, Xiong Kang sighed again and explained to Lu Zixun: “My Mother Sword is named Seven Stars; kept in Chunhua, it could serve as a seal for the encirclement, coordinating with Elder Zeng to kill the Blood Worm Queen in one fell swoop, but now…

it’s no use.”

“Is it because of the Guo Family?”

After some thought, Lu Zixun quickly grasped the problem and turned his gaze to Guo Xin’er, who had fainted.

“If the Guo Family hadn’t intervened, with your covert protection, coupled with my sub-sword, dealing with the two Blood Worms in the truck would have been very simple.”

Xiong Kang gently combed Long Ya’s hair, his expression complex: “Truly unexpected.”

Having understood the logic, Lu Zixun also sighed, “Is this a case of good intentions leading to bad outcomes?”

“It’s not that simple.”

Shaking his head, Xiong Kang pressed the Sto tracker: “The Guo Family stepping in is a good thing; it shows that these families can now see the severity of the situation, but if Sto’s full force to encircle the Blood Worm Queen ends in failure…

some covert lines will also be ruined.”

It sounded like more harm than good.

But hearing Xiong Kang say this, Lu Zixun didn’t know what to say for a while; he just felt that he was still not strong enough.

They entered the control room to stop the Heavy Truck at the side of the road and continued their intermittent conversation.

“The Blood Worm Queen isn’t invading Blue Star through parasitism?”

Shocked, Lu Zixun stared at Xiong Kang upon learning that the Blood Worm Queen entered Blue Star not in the form of Abnormal Creatures but in human form.

“Not just the Blood Worm Queen.

Other Abnormal Creatures at the Queen level enter Blue Star the same way.”

With a contemplative flash in his eyes, Lu Zixun sighed deeply: “What’s most important is, through consuming human flesh, Abnormal Creatures gradually evolve.”

“Evolve?”

Repeating the word, Lu Zixun irritably slapped the floor with his claws: “Does your statement mean that if things continue this way, there will be more and more Queen-level Abnormal Creatures?”

“It’s like this,”

Nodding his head, Xiong Kang agreed with Lu Zixun’s statement and added, “That’s why, after we discovered the Blood Worm Queen, we needed to mount a hunt.”

Scratch, scratch.

Lu Zixun’s paws dug a hole in the ground, and he crouched into it unconsciously, as if it made him feel more secure.

He really disliked fighting and killing.

In his past life, he was just an ignorant otaku; in this life, he only wanted to scrape by, muddle along until death, maybe keep the company of a pleasant young lady, and that would have been enough.

Who would have thought that these abnormal creatures would be so ferocious?

His tail swaying incessantly, Lu Zixun scratched his ear irritably: “Are Blood Worms just that brutal, incapable of peaceful coexistence?”

Glancing thoughtfully at Lu Zixun, Xiong Kang shook his head with a wry smile: “That’s a unique thought you have there, but unfortunately, it’s not feasible.”

Before Lu Zixun could ask why, Xiong Kang continued, “Humans have always been at the top of the food chain.

Once there’s a creature that hunts humans for food, do you know what happens?”

Lu Zixun opened his mouth as if to say something, but then he closed it again.

Quietly staring ahead, Xiong Kang spoke indifferently, “It’s either your death or my demise.

If the problem cannot be solved, then the source of that problem must be eradicated.”

“Then…”

Just as Lu Zixun was about to ask about his own existence, recalling Zeng Haoyang’s earlier probing, he fell silent again.

Facing Lu Zixun’s silence, Xiong Kang saw right through the little kitty’s inner thoughts.

He leaned over and rubbed Lu Zixun’s head, shaking his head: “Don’t think too much.

There are entirely different approaches to dealing with what’s controllable and what isn’t.”

“How can you be sure that I am controllable?”

Looking up at Xiong Kang, Lu Zixun appeared somewhat forceful.

“…”

After a moment of silence, Xiong Kang looked at Long Ya in his arms, his eyes softening: “It’s evident from your attitude towards humans that your heart is in the right place.”

“Ding—Trust Value from Xiong Kang has increased by +1000.”

“I see.”

A feeling of being trusted and acknowledged washed over Lu Zixun.

Standing up from the hole, Lu Zixun shook the dust from his fur.

After gazing at the distant scenery for a while, Lu Zixun finally spoke up slowly, “Are we waiting for STO’s rescue now?”

“Mhm.”

Nodding slightly, Xiong Kang glanced towards the direction of Chunhua City: “My Mother and Child Sword can only handle up to three high-level abnormal creatures.

Any more than that, and I’d be overwhelmed.

Waiting for support is the safest strategy.”

“Di di di.”

After a while, the vehicle marked with the letters STO arrived.

The blue and red flashing lights on the roof of the car gave Lu Zixun a great sense of security.

After boarding the vehicle, Lu Zixun, heedless of all else, took the co-driver’s seat, curled up into a ball, and fell into a deep sleep.

Xiong Kang, who had carried Long Ya onto the vehicle, saw this and set Long Ya in the back seat.

He then took out two blankets, covering both Lu Zixun and Long Ya.

When faced with something that exceeds their psychological limits, people subconsciously choose to escape.

Animals also have this instinct to flee, which is why Xiong Kang handled the situation with such patience.

Getting out of the car, Xiong Kang took a first-aid kit from the trunk.

He took off his battle suit, revealing blood-soaked wounds underneath.

The fight against Ling might have seemed easy, but Xiong Kang, only wielding a sub-sword, struggled greatly against the Advanced Alien.

Especially when he had Long Ya and Lu Zixun behind him, in a situation where he couldn’t afford to retreat and guard.

After tending to his wounds with medicine, Xiong Kang took out his phone to make a call.

“Ninth Brother, have we captured the Blood Worm Queen?”

He asked as he opened the driver’s side door.

“No.”

A tired voice came from the other end of the phone, and Long Jiuri sighed, “Did your Mother Sword suddenly leave because Yaya was in danger?”

Considering the sleeping Lu Zixun and Long Ya, Xiong Kang lowered his voice: “Yes, Guo Family’s involvement gave Ye Xun and Ling a chance to break through.”

“How did Ye Xun and Ling escape?”

The sharpness in Long Jiuri’s eyes intensified: “Could it be that someone let them out of the containment area?”

“That’s what I find strange too, and more curious is the fact they didn’t strike immediately…”

Xiong Kang’s brows furrowed as he recalled the scene: “It was as if they were waiting for me to arrive.

The moment I switched back to the Mother Sword, they made their retreat.”

“All-out efforts to hunt down and capture, only to fail at the last moment, and STO has suffered greatly, with a number of Genetic Optimization Soldiers dead.”

Rubbing his temples painfully, Long Jiuri sighed, “Perhaps I shouldn’t be in this position.”

If he had completely disregarded his daughter’s safety and made Xiong Kang remain in the containment zone, the Blood Worm Queen would have had no chance to escape.

But there are no ifs in life, and even if there were, Long Jiuri wouldn’t have made that choice.

“Ninth Brother, it’s not like that.”

Unable to help himself, Xiong Kang shook his head, reminding himself that he was on the phone, he quickly added, “Without Ninth Brother holding the line, Chunhua City would have fallen a long time ago.”

“And moreover…

if Ninth Brother truly could be cold-hearted and ruthless, wouldn’t that make him no different from the abnormal creatures?”

In response to Xiong Kang’s reassurance, Long Jiuri fell silent, pondered for a moment, and then was reminded of an orange cat.
