Humans Shrunk 100 Times

Chapter 104: Druid

Du Jiajia, after joking around, officially embarked on her final journey. Unlike the prison cart from earlier, the current equipment allowed her to truly come into contact with the small cat. In case the cat licked her or anything, she wouldn't suffer too much harm.

If everything goes smoothly, she will gradually remove this set of armor later on, but before that, the chain remains necessary. This is also Dong Junwei's bottom line.

General Du, dressed in armor, walked towards the door with an imposing stride. Everyone's hearts were on edge. Wei Dalei held one end of the chain, his eyes almost popping out.

Du Jiajia walked quickly to the door. Right at the moment she was about to step out, she suddenly stopped and stood silently for a few seconds before taking a deep breath.

Then, she stepped outside.

Outside the door, Little Huang sat on the ground, diligently licking its paws. Due to its small and round size, with short limbs, licking seemed quite laborious. Often, while licking, it would accidentally tilt its head back, fall over, roll on the ground, and then get up to continue licking.

But whenever Du Jiajia approached, it always sensed it first and stood guard in front of the passage under the door.

This time was no exception.

The plastic armor, overall, was quite lightweight, making Du Jiajia look like a normal human figure. From her perspective, even if the little cat was lying on the ground, it was as tall as a three or four-story building, casting a huge shadow in the morning sunlight.

She looked up at the cat's enormous face.

Even in this situation, she still found the little cat cute.

Especially when she saw Little Huang's expression, a familiar and friendly feeling came over her.

The cat habitually shook its head and, seeing Du Jiajia slowly approaching, once again laid down on the ground and rubbed its head against the floor, moving forward slightly.

Du Jiajia felt a bit unsure at this moment. She wanted to reach out and touch the cat, but she was afraid of scaring it with sudden movements.

She halted her steps and locked eyes with the cat for a moment.

Finally, she took two more steps forward.

As an expert translator and editor, here is the translation of the text:

Regarding Du Jiajia's approach, the cat didn't show any discomfort. Instead, it lowered its body even further, with a look of grievance and innocence in its eyes, as if it were a little dog seeking affection.

Cats are usually aloof, and they rarely display such affectionate behavior unless they particularly trust or like someone.

Du Jiajia was melted by this expression and instinctively reached out her hand, wanting to touch the cat.

However, the size difference between them was too significant. Du Jiajia was only as big as the cat's mouth, making it impossible for her to pet the cat properly.

Moreover, in her eyes, the cat's whiskers seemed as thick as whips, and even a slight movement could potentially throw her off.

But it seemed the cat was aware of even this tiny detail, deliberately avoiding touching Du Jiajia every time it shook its head.

Du Jiajia's outstretched hand awkwardly hung in the air.

She didn't know what to do for a moment.

And then, the next moment, the cat suddenly raised its head, and a furry paw extended.

Chen Mu and the others were frightened out of their wits, almost pulling the chain to drag Du Jiajia back.

Surprisingly, Du Jiajia remained the calmest.

The soft, fleshy cat paw retracted, appearing like a furry cushion.

The cat's paw, touching the ground, was as tall as Du Jiajia. It extended right in front of her.

At this moment, Du Jiajia felt the same sensation as when she licked the glass before.

Clearly, Little Huang had received her intentions and reached out its paw to shake hands with her.

Nervous yet excited, Du Jiajia took two more steps forward.

When she arrived in front of the cat's paw, it seemed she had exhausted all her strength.

Trembling, she reached out her hands and glanced at the cat's face.

From her current angle,

she could hardly see the cat's facial features clearly, but she could still sense Little Huang's intimacy with her.

Du Jiajia mustered up her courage.

At the moment her hands touched the fur,

she shuddered all over.

It seems as if a space has been opened up in her mind, where some casual little things are stored separately, and previously vague memories suddenly become clear.

...

It was during noon.

Du Jiajia didn't eat lunch but instead brought a pocketful of snacks, secretly hiding beside the campus wall, sitting by the flowerbed, quietly enjoying them alone.

She peeled open a piece of beef jerky said to be brought back from Argentina by a relative when she heard a soft and lingering cat's meow behind her.

She was familiar with the stray cats on campus, although she couldn't distinguish one from another, whenever she encountered them, she treated them as her companions.

Generously, she threw the freshly peeled beef jerky to the big orange cat that appeared behind her.

The large orange cat didn't immediately eat the beef jerky. Instead, it carried it in its mouth and walked towards the greenbelt.

Curious, she followed all the way.

Following for several tens of meters, she discovered the secret in another flowerbed.

It was a group of little kittens.

There were about six or seven of them.

They seemed to be about a month or two old, stumbling around and squabbling together.

Du Jiajia already loved cats, and this scene nearly made her burst with cuteness.

The big cat threw the beef jerky to the group of kittens, and one of them immediately took a bite.

However, the beef jerky was too hard, and the little kitten seemed unable to bite into it at all.

Without hesitation, Du Jiajia took out a piece of sausage from her pocket.

This kind of easy-to-eat snack was not her favorite, but she brought it along as a substitute for lunch.

She tore open the sausage, took a small bite, spat it into her hand, and then threw it in front of the little kitten.

The kitten, after struggling to bite the beef jerky for a while, made no progress. However, the siblings beside it were already eyeing the sausage, so they immediately abandoned the beef jerky and rushed for the sausage.

The soft texture of the sausage pleased them.

After the little kitten finished eating, it staggered towards Du Jiajia, obviously wanting more.

Skilled, she fed it another piece.

One after another, until she lured the little kitten to her feet.

It was a little orange cat with the same color as its mother, just a bit lighter in color.

It mewed with a milk-like sound.

The big cat leisurely licked its fur nearby, completely ignoring the fact that its child was taken away.

After luring the little cat to her side, Du Jiajia squatted down with a smile and scratched its head with her fingers.

The little cat thoroughly enjoyed it and even turned over, showing its belly.

Du Jiajia had fed and played with cats at school many times before, so after a while, she left with light steps, not paying any attention to the eager chirps from behind.

...

The memory stopped at this moment.

The events afterward became blurred again.

Du Jiajia instantly woke up from her recollection.

At this moment, she realized that the memories became clear precisely because of the physical contact with the little cat.

And the cat in her memories was the same as the current Little Huang.

Could it be that because they had previous interactions, Little Huang was the first one to sense her after the apocalypse?

Du Jiajia buried her hands in Little Huang's furry paws.

She looked into the cat's eyes again.

And this time,

she effortlessly and completely understood the meaning in those deep eyes.

Is this the feeling of telepathic communication?

So...
