[Ability: Spirit Black Mist]

[Spirit Black Mist: Releases a black mist that can affect consciousness]

This is obviously the monster from the previous life, and as expected, its ability is psychic.

When Wang Tao encountered it in the previous life, the sense of oppression it brought to him remains vivid, unforgettable through two lifetimes.

But now, Wang Tao doesn’t feel any threat from it, like a very ordinary little cat.

Whether it’s because it’s different now from the previous life, or because it has different attitudes towards creatures of different strengths, is unknown.

Anyway, it’s a mutant animal with some intelligence. Based on past life experience, such animals are capable of cooperation.

So Wang Tao wanted to try communicating with it, but unexpectedly, as soon as he had the thought of communication, it turned and ran.

"Don’t run!"

The black cat darted into the woods; it’s small and fast, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

It’s almost seven in the evening now, the sky has started to darken. Wang Tao immediately put away the pickup truck and then plunged into the woods.

Although he couldn’t see where the black cat went, Wang Tao’s hearing was sharp enough to pick up its slight movements and determine its direction.

Shuize County is not very developed, but the scenery is beautiful with mountains, water, and woods. The black cat is obviously familiar with the area; once it darted into the woods, Wang Tao couldn’t catch up to it for a while.

"Pretty fast, even faster than that Zombie Lord earlier!"

Wang Tao wasn’t anxious. He could use force to stop the black cat, but it wasn’t necessary. After all, Wang Tao wanted to cooperate; he should be nicer. Of course, if the cat remained uncooperative, Wang Tao would use fists to make his point clear.

So, the black cat ran in front while Wang Tao pursued it from behind, and unknowingly, it was pitch dark outside.

Wang Tao’s talent [Super Perception] enhanced all his perceptive abilities, including vision, and night vision was naturally included. Darkness seemed almost like daylight to him, with only a dimmer light indicating it was night.

Finally, the black cat stopped, panting heavily.

"Meow!"

It stared at Wang Tao somewhat discontentedly, as if questioning why he kept chasing.

"The little thing could still run, all the way to Shuizhe Mountain!" Wang Tao internally remarked, looking at the black cat with a creepy smile.

"Little kitty, are you alone—oh no, are you a cat? Why not follow me? I’ll ensure you have food and shelter. Otherwise, in this apocalypse, you’d just be a wandering stray cat!"

Wang Tao wanted to cooperate with the black cat for another reason: he felt this cat had a good temperament.

Normally, if any other mutant animal were chased for such a long time by Wang Tao, it would definitely retaliate. Even knowing it couldn’t defeat Wang Tao, it would still bear its teeth. But the black cat didn’t; it was just a bit annoyed at Wang Tao, no aggressive actions at all.

So Wang Tao reckoned it was likely a domesticated pet before the apocalypse, with a good disposition and seemingly not lacking intelligence. Such mutant animals can naturally cooperate.

"Meow!"

The black cat gave Wang Tao a glare, clearly irritated, probably because it understood Wang Tao called it a stray cat.

But Wang Tao didn’t understand what it meant because the cat maintained a distance, preventing Wang Tao from using spiritual power to communicate.

Thus, Wang Tao moved a few steps forward.

"Don’t be afraid, I mean no harm..."

The black cat didn’t retreat but watched Wang Tao with a wary face, ready to dash at any moment.

When Wang Tao arrived in front of the black cat, he immediately used spiritual power to initiate communication.

"Do you have any concerns? Feel free to share?"

"Meow—"

Wang Tao’s voice suddenly echoed in the black cat’s mind, startling it into fright, causing its fur to bristle, ready to dash away instinctively.

But at this distance, Wang Tao couldn’t allow it to run again.

Swish—

Wang Tao grabbed the black cat by the nape.

The black cat struggled desperately, but Wang Tao’s hand was like a clamp; it couldn’t escape.

Seeing it couldn’t break free, the black cat’s eyes flashed red, releasing a large amount of black mist, enveloping Wang Tao, who was instantly besieged by various visions.

This ability of the black cat can induce hallucinations, but even in the previous life, Wang Tao wasn’t influenced by its hallucinations. So, in this life, these hallucinations are futile. Wang Tao held the black cat’s neck firmly and communicated via spiritual power:

"See, you’re no match for me. But I don’t intend to harm you. The apocalypse is so dangerous, why not cooperate? You help me, and I’ll provide you with fish snacks. Isn’t that good? I know you want to go to the city too, but there are too many zombies, and you’re afraid of infection. But with me, you won’t have to worry about being infected..."

Observing his ability having no effect on Wang Tao, the black cat finally panicked. Its eyes, flashing red, showed a hint of savagery, frantically squirming to escape Wang Tao’s hold, but Wang Tao’s grip on its fate-bound neck ensured its efforts were futile.

While talking to the black cat, Wang Tao observed it. He felt the black cat seemed like a well-tempered cat before using its ability. But once it did, it became somewhat brutal. Could it be a side effect of its ability?
