Monster Girlfriend(Apocalypse) 102

Chapter 102

This was a very ordinary day. The Disaster Star Extermination Squad, which had been collectively sleeping in due to the cold weather, had once again returned to a healthy life of sleeping early and waking up early after welcoming their new instructor.

If there was anything that Bai Qian was particularly concerned about, it would definitely be Coal Ball.

Since Coal Ball had woken up, besides being happy, Bai Qian had also been afraid. She couldn’t help but pay more attention to Coal Ball, for fear that if she wasn’t careful, Coal Ball would suffer a loss in the dark again. At the same time, Coal Ball’s physical and mental health were given special attention. After all, anyone who had experienced what it had gone through would be left with some psychological trauma.

But Coal Ball was Coal Ball after all. Although it was smart and spiritual, it was still a cat, and its thoughts were much simpler than humans. There were no signs of psychological trauma, and its body was also recovering day by day. In the kisses, hugs, and grooming that were much gentler than usual from its dear owner, it was living a flavorful and increasingly plump life.

Everything was getting better, and it seemed that the shadow of the past had already gone away. But on this day, Bai Qian found that Coal Ball had suddenly become even more clingy.

Because there was a radiator, Coal Ball rarely slept in the quilt. It preferred the cat nest by the radiator.

But in the middle of the night, when Bai Qian was sleeping soundly, she suddenly felt a chill enter the quilt and press against her.

She woke up with a start. She reached out and touched it. It was furry and cold. Bai Qian lifted the quilt and heard a soft meow.

It was Coal Ball that had gotten into her quilt, and it was cold. Bai Qian was so sleepy that she didn’t think much of it and went back to sleep.

When she woke up, Coal Ball was still in the quilt, and it was sleeping so soundly that it was snoring.

Bai Qian wanted to get up. As soon as she moved, Coal Ball also woke up. In an instant, the small, black furball jumped up and landed on Bai Qian’s shoulder.

“Why are you so clingy today?” Bai Qian asked with a smile.

Coal Ball naturally rubbed against Bai Qian coquettishly and did not speak.

After she had washed up and was eating, the door was suddenly knocked on. There was only one outsider living in the hotel, and that was Zheng Boqiang. But she would usually only come over around eight o’clock. Today, it was so early, and the few of them were a little puzzled.

Xia Weishuang stood up to open the door. Wei Yunlang was drinking soy milk, Mi Lele was teasing Diandian, and Bai Qian was coaxing Coal Ball.

Because for some reason, Coal Ball had suddenly jumped down from her shoulder and was hooking Bai Qian’s calf, trying to drag her back to the bedroom.

“What’s wrong? Are you shy?” Bai Qian was very helpless. She crouched down and patiently communicated with Coal Ball, but Coal Ball did not give her an answer.

She thought, it shouldn’t be that it’s shy. Coal Ball is very brave. Besides, just as Xia Weishuang had advised Sang Lu not to attack Zheng Boqiang because she was now their companion, Bai Qian had also specifically told Coal Ball not to attack Zheng Boqiang after it had woken up.

Although cats were vengeful creatures, Coal Ball was smart, considerate, and obedient. After it woke up and saw Zheng Boqiang, it was very calm, and seemed to have let go of its hatred. And it had basically never had any contact with Zheng Boqiang, so it shouldn’t be afraid.

Coal Ball looked left and right, and began to wag its tail, its voice soft.

Bai Qian couldn’t help but narrow her eyes. She suddenly felt that something was not right.

She knew Coal Ball. This was how Coal Ball usually acted when it had done something wrong and was feeling guilty.

Just at this time, Xia Weishuang had already welcomed Zheng Boqiang in.

“So early. Is there something?” The only thing Xia Weishuang could think of was the matter of Zheng Boqiang’s room being turned upside down. “Did you find any traces of the intruder?”

Zheng Boqiang sat on the sofa, calm and generous, not at all embarrassed by her identity.

She directly stretched out her hand and got straight to the point. “That’s right. I did find an intruder. If I’m not mistaken, it should be your cat.”

In her palm, there was a neat tuft of black fur.

Zheng Boqiang said calmly, “I’m sorry for cutting its fur. It secretly slipped into my room last night. I thought it was an enemy.”

Xia Weishuang: “…”

Bai Qian: “…”

Coal Ball jumped on the spot and bristled at Zheng Boqiang. “Meow—!”

Bai Qian said helplessly, “Coal Ball, calm down. Be good. Sister will hug you.”

She picked up Coal Ball and smoothed the back of its neck. The guilty Coal Ball was soothed and slowly calmed down. Bai Qian glanced at Coal Ball’s butt and saw that the black fur on the left half was indeed shorter than the right half, and couldn’t help but sigh.

Xia Weishuang coughed lightly and said, “So the matter of your room being messed up was all done by Coal Ball? Sister Qian, what did Coal Ball say?”

Bai Qian was silent for a moment, then said, “Coal Ball admitted it.”

“I see,” Xia Weishuang nodded and said. “Sister Qian, you should coax Coal Ball.”

After she finished speaking, Xia Weishuang looked at Zheng Boqiang, without a trace of embarrassment. She just said calmly and gently, “Miss Zheng, Coal Ball has, after all, experienced very bad things at Gu Minzhi’s place. And it’s very smart and has a good memory, so it will hate you for a long time. I hope you can understand. After all, you were the ones who hurt it first.”

Zheng Boqiang raised an eyebrow slightly. “For this level of prank, I’m not that petty.”

So Xia Weishuang said again, “Don’t worry. We will persuade Coal Ball not to make trouble. Let’s just let this matter go. Of course, if you have other opinions, you can also say them.”

Zheng Boqiang turned her head to look at Coal Ball, which was clinging to Bai Qian, and couldn’t help but laugh. “I don’t have any particular opinions. I just hope that it doesn’t always sneak into my room. It’s very troublesome to clean up cat fur.”

Whether she really didn’t mind, or because she was living under someone else’s roof and had to endure it, in this matter, Zheng Boqiang’s generous and uncalculating attitude did indeed make one have a good impression.

And Bai Qian and the others were naturally not so unreasonable as to let Coal Ball bully her all the time. Since they had said they would cooperate, at least the superficial work had to be done.

Bai Qian very seriously coaxed Coal Ball for a while, telling it to be careful and not to bother with Zheng Boqiang for now. Since Coal Ball could even accept the Sang Lu of the past, then Zheng Boqiang would not be a problem. Bai Qian was not very worried about this.

It was just that she had not expected that Coal Ball’s acceptance of Sang Lu was purely out of necessity. There was no choice. It couldn’t beat her, so it could only endure. But as for Zheng Boqiang, hmph, although its owner had said not to hurt her, in Coal Ball’s heart, she would absolutely not easily forget the bad things she had done!

And so—

After revealing its identity, Coal Ball completely let itself go.

In the afternoon, Xia Weishuang and the others were practicing fighting techniques in the swimming pool. Zheng Boqiang was suddenly distracted and looked back at the corridor.

Wei Yunlang, who was fighting with her, his eyes lit up. He thought, good opportunity! So he seized the opportunity and unceremoniously attacked Zheng Boqiang’s empty gate—bang!

Wei Yunlang slowly fell to the ground.

Zheng Boqiang said, “I’m sorry. I was distracted just now and didn’t pay attention to my strength. But you should really change. It’s not a good thing to always think of your enemies as too upright. Your enemies may be far more despicable and ruthless than me. And, don’t choose to be shy at a time like this because of your gender. You’re worried about touching the other party’s sensitive parts and choose to hold back, but maybe the other party is deliberately using this kind of psychology of yours…”

In Teacher Zheng’s small class, no one survived.

Everyone, whether it was the calm and good at reflecting Xia Weishuang, the gentle, humble, and easy to talk to Bai Qian, the Wei Yunlang who tried his best to get beaten and tried to fight back, or the little Mi Lele.

Zheng Boqiang could teach them all according to their aptitude.

She had particularly rich experience and a sharp eye in combat. She never confined them to a single framework and unified curriculum, but conducted different levels of training for each person to ensure that she could squeeze out each person’s greatest potential without hurting their bodies.

Because of her dedication, even if she was merciless when she was training, even if her past identity was an opponent, and even if she did not deliberately try to please them and close the distance between them.

Xia Weishuang and the others could not help but get close to her.

After all, Zheng Boqiang could have just taught a few moves, or even not taught anything at all, and Xia Weishuang and the others would not have had any objections.

The attitude and sincerity that a person showed when they were together day and night could infect others. Compared to a feigned friendship, perhaps a reality that occasionally made one’s hands itch was more reassuring.

After the targeted guidance in the morning, Xia Weishuang, while re-tying her loose long hair, asked, “What were you looking at before?”

The matter of Zheng Boqiang being distracted was quite strange.

The corners of Zheng Boqiang’s mouth twitched. “Nothing. I just heard a little noise. Let’s go down and rest. If we stay a little longer, our sweat will dry and we’ll catch a cold.”

The swimming pool had no heating facilities, and they had to rely on their own body heat.

It would get warm quickly when they were exercising, but it would be unbearable cold after they stopped for a while. At this time, Xia Weishuang and the others would have to go back to the warm 612 to warm up, while Zheng Boqiang would go back to the deserted 610.

610 had no stove or heating, but Zheng Boqiang’s constitution was very good, and she was not afraid of the cold.

Now that the course was over, it was time to go back. But some things, no one had expected that they would turn out like this—the door of 610 was wide open, and about a dozen cats were coming in and out of the door, playing and fighting, lively and bustling, meowing back and forth.

Bai Qian: “…”

Zheng Boqiang: “…”

An elegant black cat slowly walked out, squatted on the ground, and licked its paws slowly. “Meow~”

Bai Qian’s face immediately became a little strange.

Zheng Boqiang turned her head to look at her. “What did it say?”

Bai Qian subconsciously replied, “It said it was very obedient. It didn’t sneak into your room, but was open and aboveboard.”

Everyone: “…”

On this day, the cat army once again set out collectively, conquered the enemy, and won a great victory.

Xia Weishuang looked at Zheng Boqiang with sympathy. During this period of time, Xia Weishuang had long since discovered that Zheng Boqiang had a bit of an obsessive-compulsive disorder. It was just that when she was with others, she was very careful not to let this bother others.

Unexpectedly, she had to endure it outside, and she couldn’t escape the torture inside either.

“You’ve worked hard,” Xia Weishuang didn’t know how to comfort her, and said tactfully. “You know, we’re all just the cat’s poop scoopers.”

Is it useful to reason with a cat? Perhaps it is, provided that you can beat it.

Zheng Boqiang looked at Bai Qian and the others with a faint smile and said, “It’s okay. A child doesn’t know any better. The adult will pay the debt.”

Bai Qian said slowly, “If I treat you to a cat meat hot pot now, is it still too late?”

Probably, maybe, it’s not too late.

**

Xia Weishuang’s purpose for keeping Zheng Boqiang had always been very clear, and Zheng Boqiang had indeed been very cooperative.

Now, Xia Weishuang had basically figured out the situation at the base, but Zheng Boqiang still had some reservations about Gu Minzhi.

On this day, Zheng Boqiang gave the few of them a day off. But she found Xia Weishuang alone and said that there were some things that she should tell Xia Weishuang.

Out of a certain tacit understanding, Xia Weishuang did not press her, but just quietly waited for her to organize her words.

“I admire you very much,” Zheng Boqiang first praised her. She was very tall and bent down slightly to look at Xia Weishuang, with a hint of a smile on her face. “You are very smart, have a sense of boundaries, are rational and calm, and are trustworthy.”

“So, I think I can tell you some things,” Zheng Boqiang said. “Before that, I hope you can understand that I have dragged it out until now, because I have to ensure that I can survive smoothly and recover to a state where I have the ability to fight back. At the same time, I have my own considerations. I have to be prepared for your impulsive behavior, but now I think you shouldn’t be that impulsive.”

Such a cautious attitude was rare for Zheng Boqiang.

Xia Weishuang said, “If you trust me, then tell me.”

Zheng Boqiang paused and asked, “Your younger sister, is her name Xia Qingxue?”

Xia Weishuang’s eyes suddenly raised.

**

Time rewound to a certain point, about not long before Coal Ball had woken up.

Location, the desolate and dilapidated Green Mountain Village.

“Minister Gu, this place seems a little strange.”

“Nonsense. I’m not blind.”

“Minister Gu, we should leave this place as soon as possible.”

“What, are you very scared? In this world, besides Sang Lu, what is there for us to be afraid of? Besides, sooner or later, I will subdue her. Now you’re afraid. What’s the use of having you?!”

“But Minister—”

“Shh…”

Suddenly, all the sounds quieted down, because the living people present, not a single one could escape the attraction of the person in front of them.

It was a pure white, thin, and delicate girl. She was sitting naked on a rock by the stream, her dazed eyes fragile and insecure, as if she were a water fairy and a forest spirit who had just descended to the world.

She clearly did not look strange at all, but in the dark, it was as if a mysterious and irresistible attraction was emanating from her, wrapping people layer by layer like a spider’s web, light and itchy.

All the onlookers could only see her in their eyes. The corpses on the grass were all ignored.

I can’t bear to disturb her. I want to look at her quietly, but I can’t help but want to sink into her embrace… The strange and demonic charm seemed to have bewitched everyone. For a moment, all the eyes were infatuated.

Only Gu Minzhi, an absolute egoist, walked up to her in a few steps and pinched the girl’s chin.

“What’s your name?” she narrowed her eyes and looked at her carefully, and had already arrogantly decided to take her back.

The girl trembled slightly, looked up at Gu Minzhi, dazed and sad. “My name is, my name is… I don’t remember…”
