The Villain's Little Cat

138 Ants Extermination Mission

“I’m not entering that research institute anymore. I’ll go with the reserve team to stay at the back to maintain the building.”

“The Ai should be able to last quite long. The gems inside are still working.” Kyle was surprised.

“But when they took the gem, it was estimated that the building wouldn’t last for long.” Jake glanced at Kyle. “Didn’t they tell you that Mr. Yuri is interested in the metal gem because his element is metal?”

“I didn’t know.” Kyle narrowed his eyes. It seemed that it wouldn’t be easy for them to deal with this Mr. Yuri then. Oh well, he was only here to count the money behind their back by gathering the crystals from the dead giant mutated ants through Kate.

As for the gems, Kyle honestly didn’t expect too much. With so many of these awakened around, it would be a miracle to be able to take these gems under their eyes without anyone knowing.

“Let’s go, Kyle, Jake.”

“Yes!”

The two of them boarded the military vehicles. The sight of a soldier carrying a cat was a bit strange, but the others were too nervous to care about that. They had heard that there were millions of giant mutated ants in the nest that might threaten the lives of people in the cities around it.

This was the reason why the military from various cities were dispatched the morning right after they obtained the news.

.....

They had obliterated these giant mutated ants before they made their way out.

Thus, this mission was called as Ants Extermination Mission.

The leader was Mr. Yuri, who was known as the strongest person and was also very close to rank 5. It was said that the reason why he wanted those gems was because it could help him to advance faster.

Brrm!

As the car was moving, Kate was looking at the ground below them and then at the scenery outside. To her surprise, she found out that the range of these white dots she could see and control seemed to have increased.

Did she rank up?

Kate always felt a bit perplexed because her rank up was extremely smooth without even any trace of pain like others. This often made her wondered just what rank she actually was.

Probably rank 5 for both space and healing?

Her healing ability seemed to be growing so fast, though. It might be due to these giant mutated ants that provided her with a lot of white dots back then.

Yes, that must be so.

The distance from City B was quite far, so they only reached the Research Institute on the second day. At this time, there were already a lot of people who were deployed from other cities gathered.

City C, D, and E all sent soldiers over. The City C was basically almost ruined, so if they didn’t send anyone to exterminate these giant mutated ants, what awaited them would be a total destruction.

No one wanted to see it.

“General Ryou, you’re a bit late.”

“The distance from City B is quite far.” General Ryan didn’t come because the one who represented them was General Ryou. After all, General Ryan definitely couldn’t leave his post in City B.

“Mr. Yuri is already inside and heading towards the seventh floor. We’ll wait here to stop these giant mutated ants from getting out.”

“I see.”

Kyle watched from the back coldly. He could see that these soldiers from other cities were trying to take advantage of their early arrival because of their closer distance to reap the benefit. He lightly patted Kate.

“How far can you extend?”

Kate narrowed her eyes. In the beginning, she could barely sense anything around her. But when she was in rank 4, she could technically control to make things appear out of her space even at a distance away from her.

Now that she had reached rank 5, she could technically reach up to 20 meters away even without looking at it directly. It had turned into something that she could call as her domain.

The areas inside the research institute, each floor was only around 2 to 3 meters each, which meant that she had no problem to probe up until the bottom of the research institute and even these giant mutated ants that were buried underground.

Both her healing ability and also space ability could reach them. It was then Kate realized that Kyle’s conjecture was true. There were indeed a rank 5 giant mutated ants laying down there.

Not only one but two.

Kate’s eyes flickered slightly and she meowed before her reverse healing and space ability worked at the vast area. Countless giant mutated ants were dead in the next moment before their crystals disappeared.

Even the rank 5 giant mutated ants were alarmed when many of their comrades died and the giant mutated ants’ corpses rotted on the spot.

“Did you make a move?” Kyle whispered.

Kate raised her head and meowed lightly. She then stuffed a lot of fire and lightning crystals inside Kyle’s pocket.

This made Kyle’s lips twitched. It seemed that after returning to City B and resting a few days, Kate had actually advanced. And it was precisely this kind of advancement that allowed her to be invincible at the battlefield.

He looked on the ground and estimated that there will be a lot of giant mutated ants dying because of Little Kitty.

“You naughty little cat.”

“Meow.”

Kate laid on Kyle’s arm listlessly. It seemed that using her ability to absorb so many of these giant mutated ants’ white dots were not doing so well. Now she feel so stuffed that she was sleepy and tired.

“Full?” Kyle narrowed his eyes.

Kate nodded helplessly.

“You greedy little cat.” Kyle couldn’t help but scold. At rank 5, they were not completely invincible but still had some limits to their ability. With Kate using her abilities to the fullest like that, it was not weird that she fell full in the next moment.

Kyle then looked at the ground below them before turning his gaze away. Anyway, even if others suspected him, he would say nothing.

With Kate being rank 5, no one will notice unless they were of the same rank.

But was there truly anyone who had reached rank 5?

Amongst those who came, there was definitely no one who had reached rank 5. This was also the reason why Kate dared to behave so unscrupulously. Anyway, this will definitely lessen the burden on these soldiers because the number of giant mutated ants had been decreased.

Well, there were still several hundred thousand down there, though.

Kate couldn’t absorb all of them even though she definitely could scatter these white dots. It was just... she felt so sleepy after absorbing the white dots.

Soon, Kate fell asleep.

Kyle looked at the sleeping little cat in his arm and felt the urge to spank this naughty cat. For now, he felt that he knew the feeling of his father whenever he caused trouble but didn’t bother to clean up.

Facing this heartless little cat who were also leaving him to clean up her mess, he could only sigh helplessly.

This little cat is really.

Boom!

Sound of explosion could be heard from below, startling the soldiers awake. It was evening and the light was no longer as good as when it was morning or afternoon.

“What’s that?”

“They should have taken the gems.” General Ryou’s eyes were cold. One of the reasons why the crystals were left behind before was in order to support this structure. Now that the gems had been taken away, there was no AI that could control the building anymore.

“Little Kitty.”

“Meow?”

Kate was startled awake from the explosion and heard Kyle calling her name.

“Gems.”

Gems?

Oh?

Kate could sense that the box was separated from the cables at the seventh floor. They couldn’t open the box yet because the power of the space element was blocking them from finding the right door. Kate blinked her eyes and silently collected the three gems inside along with the circuit board into her space.

And in that very moment, the building shook so badly.

“Where are the awakened? Protect the structure!”

“Can’t! It’s destroyed so badly!”

Several metal awakened people who had been called by the military were trying their best to pour their energy to support this building, but they found out that it was impossible. It seemed as if the metal itself was rejecting them.

Jake was also pouring his metal energy but he was not as anxious as the others. When he was trying to open the door back then, he even had to work hard, ok?

And he was already rank 4.

So he was sure that the power of the gem that they used for the box was definitely the highest one. After all, this is the biggest Secret Research Institute in this nation.
