Mr. Rat of the Steam World

Chapter 62 The Story of Sang Biao

After listening, Lu Ran's expression became even more solemn.

A black cat that appears out of nowhere, with terrifyingly strong physical abilities?
His first thought was whether the cat was also one of the creatures that gained intelligence through the Seed of Abundance ritual, just like him.

But recalling the memory of the ritual from the Seed of Abundance in his mind, the only ones who had touched the Seed of Abundance were Bella, Sang Biao, a crow he had never seen before, and Lu Ran, the rat himself.

"Then where does this cat's power come from... wait a minute!"

"If that so-called biological experiment started with ordinary animals first..."

Lu Ran's heart skipped a beat, and almost instantly he thought of the monstrous cat near Biden's estate that particularly hated humans.

Although the cat and dog seemed a bit childish when discussing revenge against humans, the hatred in Sang Biao's eyes was real. As for Bella, she simply found it amusing and joined in with Sang Biao's antics.

"So Sang Biao's ability to speak comes from the Seed of Abundance, and his powerful strength comes from certain experiments. This explains why Bella and I, who also came into contact with the Seed of Abundance, are so weak."

Lu Ran seemed to be deep in thought.

"It seems we should go find that cat boss and ask him what's going on."

Revenge is a given; Lu Ran is definitely going to kill that dead cat near Dane's house.

He killed so many mice at once. Especially according to the surviving mouse, the black cat liked to play with them and watch them struggle before they died, which gave them a chance to escape.

Who can bear this!

But before seeking revenge, he should at least figure out the difference in strength. If he really couldn't win, Lu Ran should see if he could ask his good older brother for help.

You can't just accept being the big brother for nothing. Your little brother has been bullied, especially by an old enemy who might have done something bad to you in the past. It would be too much of a fuss if you didn't step in.

"Boss Sang Biao~"

……

Lu Ran didn't wait until dawn; he rushed back during the night.

As they approached the large woodland surrounding the manor, Bella slowed her pace, her drooping tail revealing a hint of nervousness.

Looking up, moonlight filtered through the gaps in the branches and leaves, casting dappled shadows on the damp ground. Within these shadows, there were shimmering green or amber lights. Being stared at by so many cats at once did indeed create a rather indescribable sense of oppression.

Fortunately, since they had been there several times, the group of guys basically recognized Lu Ran and Bella, and there was no unusual reaction. It wasn't until they saw the familiar Boss Sang Biao that Bella became excited.

"Boss!" Bella rushed over excitedly, her tail wagging like a propeller. "We have important intelligence!"

Sangbiao Cat looked up in surprise, his amber pupils sweeping from Bella to the furtive Lu Ran behind her, a look of confusion on his face.

"Meow~ Hey bro, what brings you two here at this hour?"

Lu then kicked off the shovel and found a spot to sit down next to Sang Biao, rubbing his paws together. "Something came up, so I came to ask you about it, brother."

"Ask me?" Sangbiao Cat tilted his head, somewhat puzzled.

Lu Ran had already prepared his words before arriving, having thoroughly understood the cat's personality. So he said furtively, "I've discovered an opportunity to inflict heavy damage on humans."

Sang Biao was taken aback, then perked up: "What opportunity?"

Lu Ran said angrily, "My little mouse brother discovered a despicable human who cruelly uses us animals to conduct biological experiments. He originally wanted to check the situation first, but he was wiped out by a strange cat that his family created."

"Using the cats under your command to create killing machines, and then wiping out my rats, isn't that a slap in the face for you, boss?"

Sangbiao Cat, who had been listening with great interest, gradually looked uneasy. Lu Ran, noticing his expression, quickly added, "Boss, quickly check if any of our cats have gone missing. They might have been captured and used for experiments. It seems to be a pure black cat, really black."

"That's right, that's right, this can't be tolerated!" Bella immediately chimed in, adding fuel to the fire. Although she didn't quite understand what the experiment meant, she was so angry when she heard that her kind had been captured and bullied by humans that she spun around in circles.

"That black cat is so powerful, and it even helps humans fight against us... Who knows, it might come to our territory to cause trouble one day, ruin our grand plans, and even steal our canned meat! Maybe... it even wants to take over my grooming girl!"

……

Is he a fat person?

Sang Biao ignored Bella's screams and instead suddenly said something.

Seemingly worried that Lu Ran hadn't understood, he turned his head, his amber pupils fixed on Lu Ran, and repeated the content again, his tone chilling.

"Is the person who keeps the black cat a fat man in a suit?"

Lu Ran paused, recalling Dane's appearance, then nodded emphatically.

"He's just a fat guy in a suit!"

Bella cheered, "Let's get him!"

Seeing Sang Biao's increasingly ugly expression, Lu Ran had an idea and naturally asked a probing question.

"What, Boss Sang Biao, you know that guy? Do you have a grudge against him?"

"hatred?"

Sang Biao gritted his teeth and, overcome with emotion, blurted it out.

"I was originally the pet cat of the family next door. I was captured and tortured in various ways just because I happened to be passing by his house. They would tear off my paws or put things into my body."

Later, I finally found a chance and escaped, barely clinging to my life. But when I tried to go back to my old home, there was a new cat. Seeing me covered in blood, the cat immediately kicked me out.

Sang Biao spoke, his tone even carrying a hint of grievance.

"My injuries were too severe, and I had nowhere to go. If it weren't for the green thing that happened to help ease my injuries, I would have died long ago!"
After I recovered from my injuries in another place and went back, he had moved, and I couldn't find him anymore.

The Sangbiao Cat slowly stood up and looked around. The cat eyes that had been lurking in the shadows and gleaming with various colors were now focused on their leader.

"I desperately want to get revenge on him!"

Lu Ran was also a bit stunned, not expecting there to be so much to the story. After hesitating for a moment, he reassured her, "Why don't we find out the situation first, at least to know if we can win?"

Even if Sang Biao could deal with the black cat, Dane Luran was still not very confident about the rest, and was unsure what level this extraordinary being belonged to.

In particular, biological experiments using animals seem to be an early product. Now Dane has started to study the human body. Who knows what he will come up with, or what the requirements for the subsequent advancement of the Abundance are?
Sang Biao seemed to be enraged, staring intently at Lu Ran: "Damn it, you doubt that I can beat that black cat?"

"No, no, no, I wasn't talking about you, boss." Lu Ran quickly raised his hand, pointed to himself, and then to the silly dog ​​next to him: "Me, it? Boss, shouldn't you think about this more carefully?"

Looking at Lu Ran, who was no bigger than his own paw, and Bella grinning and sticking out her tongue with a silly expression, Sang Biao was instantly furious.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Lu Ran blinked: "Let's take it slow..."

　Thank you, Che Ming Kuang Shao, for the 1500 points! Thanks, bro!
