Is this what a zombie is?

"Kid, you'd better think this through."

This time, Cat Master did not use telepathy.

It opened its mouth, and a lazy yet incredibly clear voice rang out in the basement, impossible to ignore.

"Holy crap, it...it...it can actually talk."

What did he see?

The black cat that Jiang Chen brought back, whose eyes were always full of disdain, could actually talk.

At first, Ai Yi couldn't believe it, but seeing Jiang Chen's calm expression, it was clear that he already knew.

He rubbed his eyes hard and patted his face.

Hmm, it hurts a little. This isn't a dream.

"That must be a hallucination, that's right, it's all a hallucination. How could a cat possibly talk? Heh, it's all a hallucination."

It must be because so many things happened today, putting too much mental pressure on me, that caused me to hallucinate.

Otherwise, there's no way to explain why the world would suddenly become so crazy, turning into a completely unrecognizable place.

Jiang Chen completely ignored Ai Yi, who was beginning to doubt her life but was still trying to persuade her with illusions.

The reason he revealed Cat Master's ability to speak at this time was because he had to drag Ai Yi into the mess, and naturally, he had to let him know some things.

Ai Yi has a strong heart, so it doesn't matter if he can't accept it right now, as long as he knows it.

Jiang Chen's gaze remained calm as he told Cat Master his plans.

"I've made up my mind."

"I must save this person. And I must find the kidney."

"Only in this way can she smoothly get through the critical period in the shortest possible time and recover to live like a normal person."

"Only in this way can I retrieve the Resurrection Incense as soon as possible."

Cat Lord's gaze became complicated as he stared directly into Jiang Chen's emerald eyes, where Jiang Chen's resolute face was reflected.

"Once the sustenance of the Resurrection Incense is lost, given your current physical condition, you can only maintain this for three to five days at most."

"And this is just a conservative estimate. I do know something about the Resurrection Incense, but I can't say for sure about its effectiveness."

"Finally, can you really get those things back by yourself?"

"I can help you track it down, but I won't personally intervene. I don't want to get myself into trouble."

"I know, I'm mentally prepared."

"Is it worth going to such lengths for a woman?"

Cat asked one last question.

Jiang Chen did not answer the question.

He simply took off the pendant from his chest.

This action was his best answer.

Jiang Chen carefully placed the pendant that sustained his life around Qiu Ziting's neck to keep her alive.

The smile didn't disappear, it just shifted.

With the help of the Resurrection Incense, Qiu Ziting's already weak breathing seemed to have stabilized somewhat.

After doing all this, Jiang Chen turned around and looked at Ai Yi beside him.

By this time, he had accepted the fact that Cat could talk, and he had vaguely guessed some things, but he hadn't figured them out yet.

"So, can you explain to me what exactly is going on?"

"What do you mean by 'without the Resurrection Incense, your body can only last three to five days'?"

"I don't have time to explain to you right now. If you want me to explain it to you personally, remember what I'm about to say; it's very important."

Jiang Chen's tone was more serious than ever before.

"From now until the surgery is complete and she is completely out of danger, this pendant must not leave her body, not even for a second."

"You'll handle things with the hospital and the doctors. I only trust you, so I'm begging you. My life and hers are in your hands."

Ai Yi looked at Jiang Chen, realized something, and his eyes instantly reddened.

"Jiang Chen... what you're saying... sounds like you're giving your last words?"

Jiang Chen couldn't help but laugh; how could this not count?

"I guess so, since I've been dead for a long time."

Ai Yi: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

"Are you serious, bro? Don't scare me!"

This is no time for jokes, so it's for real!

Thinking back to Jiang Chen's unusual behavior a few days ago, Ai Yi understood.

My nose tingled, and tears streamed down my face uncontrollably.

He patted Ai Yi on the shoulder, comforting her.

"It's too early to cry now."

"I didn't cry, the smell of disinfectant was too pungent."

Ai wiped away her tears, but stubbornly refused to admit it.

"Time is of the essence. Cat Master and I are going to retrieve the kidney. If something happens to me and I don't make it back, after Ziting is out of danger, you can place this pendant on my body."

"Perhaps... it can save me one more time."

"Remember, you must wait until she's out of danger."

Ai Yi didn't understand what this pendant, the Resurrection Incense, was.

But he understood that Jiang Chen was able to continue living because of this thing.

And now, he gave it to Qiu Ziting, giving her his hope for living.

The purpose was to ensure that she could be saved.

1. This unassuming thing can save two lives.

Jiang Chen trusted him, so she entrusted the items to his care. This responsibility was a heavy burden.

"But you're all alone, trying to rob a criminal gang. Even Cat Master said he won't help you. What are you planning to do? How about I talk to Dad and ask him to find a security company or something?"

"Time is precious, I can't wait. Trust me, I'm confident."

Ai Yi wanted to ask more questions, but Jiang Chen didn't have time to explain further.

The faint sound of sirens could be heard outside; police cars and ambulances were almost there.

And his time began to count down as the incense of resurrection left his body.

Without the Resurrection Incense, his body was like a broken container, his strength was gradually draining away, and he was becoming weaker.

It should be said that it was originally a broken container, and the effect of the Resurrection Incense is not to repair it.

This is similar to a battery leaking current, while the "Resurrection Incense" can reduce the leakage or even restore the current, maintaining a relative balance.

Now that there is no incense to restore balance, the loss is intensifying.

To change this situation, external forces are needed to fill the gap.

Zombies draw strength from resentment and feed on blood; this is a means of replenishing themselves from external sources.

However, Jiang Chen is not a zombie, so he doesn't have this skill. Therefore, he can only choose to absorb another kind of energy.

Jiang Chen didn't linger and walked towards the electrical control box in the corner of the basement.

He opened the iron door of the electrical control box, looked at the neatly arranged switches inside, and asked.

"Master Cat, is this okay?"

Cat had somehow jumped onto his shoulder and flicked its tail.

"Actually, lightning would be the best, but we don't have the means right now. Well, 220V electricity won't kill you, you idiot."
