Chapter 96

96 Walking the Cat

“So stingy! Healing this kind of wound wouldn’t even take that much of your cat’s ability!” General Ryan was thoroughly annoyed.

Kyle passed a look at General Ryan. “In that case, go and find another healer.”

General Ryan nearly vomited blood.

He felt that this son of his was specially sent to spite him. No matter what he said, his son always like to refute him and made him so angry that he wanted to beat this son of his up to the point that he was unrecognizable.

It was unfortunate that he couldn’t do that.

“I’m going to bring Little Kitty to treat your soldiers first.” Kyle then swaggered to the military base.

Kate looked at General Ryan who looked like he had suffered from constipation and silently lit a candle inside her heart. She felt that Kyle really liked to make trouble with his father and it didn’t change even when his father was trying so hard to make better relationship with his son.

Poor General Ryan.

Anyway, Kate had no time to care about General Ryan because she was asked to heal a few more people. After it was all done, Kyle was called by General Ryan to his uncle, General Ryou’s office.

.....

“Meow?”

“My father and uncles are both military people.” Kyle was not surprised about it. “And uncle’s rank is mostly because of father’s achievement.”

“Meow.”

“Brat, I can hear you talking behind my back.”

At this moment, General Ryou had already woke up. His left hand was still the hand of a bear, which looked fairly scary, and couldn’t be covered with his clothes at all. After all, there was simply no clothes with that arm’s size.

“Uncle Ryou,” Kyle greeted calmly.

General Ryou snorted at Kyle and then turned to look at the little cat in Kyle’s hand. He didn’t really like small animals because he felt that they were so bothersome, but now he felt that the little cat didn’t look so bad.

At this moment, he had started to wear a tinted glasses.

After all, it was the very cat who had saved his life not long ago.

“So, this is Little Kitty, right? I would like to thank you for saving my life not long ago.” General Ryou smiled kindly.

“Meow!”

“Is there anything you want, Little Kitty?” General Ryou had heard from his older brother that this little cat had the intelligence of a human’s child. This startled him, but he also understood that with the red rain starting the period of mutation, there were simply too many strange things happening lately.

He should just get used to it.

That there were many things that were beyond their understanding kept on happening one after another.

“Meow?” Kate tilted her head.

General Ryou laughed. “That’s what my older brother gives to you. I naturally will give you personal reward too.”

“Meow.”

“Tsk, you seem to like that crystals so much, huh?”

General Ryou laughed but he also understood. For Little Kitty, those green crystals could help her to advance in rank faster. And it seemed that being an animal had helped her to advance much faster than humans.

After all, human took much more time to absorb the energy from the crystals while she could simply absorb it first and then it will be digested automatically. Thus, for Little Kitty, there was simply nothing hard with it.

Kyle looked at his uncle and pursed his lips.

Oh how much he wanted to be able to understand what Little Kitty was saying too.

“Uncle, how did you obtain that arm?”

“This?” General Ryou looked at Kyle helplessly. “When the first red rain happened, I was hunting...”

His hobby was to hunt and the nation didn’t prohibit hunting except for the endangered animals. This was why some people who liked to hunt would have gun license and went to the hunting ground from time to time.

General Ryou was naturally not hunting bear.

It was just.... he was so unlucky that he encountered a bear and was planning to run. However, the bear caught up and then he suddenly fainted.

When he woke up, he found out that his arm had already changed shape like this.

This made him feel perplexed, but he had no other choice but to go back home and then reported his situation. Thankfully, he was not the only one who had such a weird characteristic.

“Your luck is quite special, Uncle,” Kyle commented.

“Just say that my luck is bad.” General Ryou rolled his eyes. “However, I also have two abilities: earth and water elements.”

“All half have two abilities?”

“Yes? As far as I know, all the reported half stated that they awakened their second ability after the second red rain. It was as if there was some kind of dormant ability inside our body.” General Ryou shrugged.

“Does everyone who come in contact with animal awakened as half?”

“No.” General Ryou laughed. “My adjutant is keeping a dog and brought him along during the hunt. When he fainted, he fell on top of his dog, but he didn’t become a half in the end. So we thought that there might be some other perquisite.”

Kyle nodded. “Did he awaken some abilities?”

“No, he didn’t. The dog did, though.”

“I see.”

“Meow?”

She honestly didn’t understand anything from their conversation.

“Hahaha, Little Kitty, I’ll bring you the green crystals later and hand it to Kyle. The doctors still didn’t allow me to get out as they want to observe my situation.” General Ryou grimaced a bit.

Thinking of these enthusiastic doctor, General Ryou felt incredibly helpless.

The situation of these halves were still strange for them, so for every half that appeared in the military, they would receive special attention. One of them was for them to stay longer in the military medical area so that the doctor could observe them.

Kyle nodded. “I’ll be going first.”

“Alright, alright, you brat is already so impatient!”

“You know me the best.”

General Ryou shook his head. He was unmarried and felt that it was a good decision he made. Seeing his nephew was so annoying and could make a person felt like vomiting blood, he also felt that it was good for him to be alone.

It can be a bit lonely at times, but at least, he didn’t have to face such a troublemaker like Kyle.

After getting out of the military base, Kyle walked around the area and then entered the largest mall available. It was also the mall that allowed them to bring animal inside, even though the security had been heightened greatly.

Looking at the mall, Kate was a bit astounded.

Economy was still thriving at this time?

“There are not many items for sale that’s related to food and weapon.” Kyle looked at the somewhat empty first floor and nodded. “They’re also treasuring supplies and will not let others be so free.”

“Meow?”

“There are indeed some restaurants open.” Kyle nodded. “And the meat they used are mostly the mutated animals’ meat. As it turned out, eating them instead boosted mutated people’s ability. However, processing them is a bit more difficult than ordinary animals’ meat.”

Kate then recalled that Kyle had been reading several reports. It seemed that this was included among them.

Hmm, she understood nothing, though.

Those biological terms that she could see from time to time from Kyle’s report was only making her felt a bit annoyed. She didn’t want to see anything related to biology lesson again, which was why her options for university had to be something that was completely unrelated.

Well, she somehow got into engineering, though.

One way or another.

That she herself felt perplexed whenever she thought about it again.

“This mall belongs to Dylan, so let’s just walk around.”

“Meow.”

Not that Kate wanted to object.

Her small legs definitely couldn’t keep up with Kyle’s fast pace. Anyway, being able to see around the mall at this period of time was somewhat refreshing.

After that mall, Kyle brought Kate to the park and walked a bit more before returning home.

As for why they went home early?

That was naturally for more training.

At this time, Kate was surprised that the next training Kyle had was to spar against his father. The annoyed General Ryan naturally didn’t hold back in the slightest bit.

He would never hold back in front of his son.

Thus, it was Kate who was busy healing these two people as they kept on trying to kill the other party through the use of their abilities.
