The Last Cat in the Universe
Chapter 9
Destroying the camera and punching the camera into the wall were two completely different concepts.
The difference in strength between the camera and the spaceship's wall was about ten thousand times greater.
Only Mr. Marshal, who had undergone systematic training and had perfectly developed his SS-level gene body, could create a hole in the spaceship's wall with a single slap.
Although the generals thought that the delicate and soft animal was very cute, none of them risked their lives to get close to it.
Only someone like the Marshal, who was much stronger than ordinary humans, dared to bring this little fellow with him.
However, it was not to be played with but to be observed from afar!
Facing such a cute little fellow, as long as they did not get slapped by its claws, the generals were fine with anything.
Yue An squatted on the ground. The small and delicate communicator on his neck shook slightly, reflecting a bright light.
He raised his head and looked at the few humans who had retreated out of the door but were still politely curious. Two seconds later, he wagged his tail and turned to the Marshal and whined.
The Marshal knew what he meant and bent down to pick him up.
The soldiers who followed behind put the blood sample back under the generals' instructions and swiftly arrested the deputy who was frozen on the spot.
The Marshal knew very well how the deputy's body was cold and stiff.
Previously, Yue An was too lazy to go out and hunt in the rain, so he caught a bunch of animals in one go. To prevent them from going bad, he froze the meat with his claws and hung it on the branches outside the safety cabin.
As long as Yue An did not remove his power, the cold could not be removed no matter how hard the wind and rain hit. It was guaranteed that the meat would be fresh when it was eaten.
Yue An felt that Ji Xiuyun was not comfortable enough and his epaulets were too hard on the Marshal. He thought for a while and tried to climb onto the Marshal's military cap to squat down. However, the Marshal did not react and carried him down.
In the end, the milky-white furball rolled into the pocket of the Marshal's cloak. Two small claws and a small head poked out of the pocket.
The Marshal did not ask his deputy about the reason for the attempt to take his blood sample.
Even if one were to think with their toes, they would know that his SS-rank optimized genes would definitely attract the attention of many powers. Ji Xiuyun had long since gotten used to the endless backstabbing and schemes.
Even if the other party's goal was not just his blood sample, it was not the Marshal's job to interrogate him after that.
Therefore, Ji Xiuyun chose to return to the conference room and continue the military meeting.
The main topic of this military meeting was not only the report of the spies, but also the matter of the Empire's eagerness to take action against the neighboring Star System.
Everyone in the military refused to accept such an order from their superiors.
"The Emperor is only probing."
The First General did not mince his words. "You conquered the Eighteenth Galaxy during the reign of the previous emperor. Now, he also hopes that he can achieve something during his reign."
Yue An, who was climbing onto Ji Xiuyun's lap, paused and his ears twitched.
Emperor?
The restoration of feudalism?
Or was Ji Xiuyun's country a constitutional monarchy?
Yue An vaguely felt that something was wrong. He climbed onto Ji Xiuyun's lap and placed his two little paws on the table. He immediately saw a small flag placed on the table.
The pattern on the flag was exactly the same as the one on Ji Xiuyun's military cap.
On a black background, pure gold and bright red outlined the appearance of a blooming flower.
Yue An had never seen a flag like this before.
Based on the time that he had grown out of his tail, he had only left Earth a few decades ago.
It was understandable that a new country had appeared during this period of time. The rapid development of science and technology had directly entered the Universal Era. With Yue An's poor scientific knowledge, although he felt that the possibility of this happening was very small, it was still somewhat understandable.
However, in this Universal Era, how could a new country become strong enough to conquer a Star System in a short span of a few hundred years?
Yue An did not read much, but he still knew how big a Star System was!
Were all the other countries just sitting around doing nothing?
The more Yue An thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He focused on listening to most of the meeting, but because the generals were used to refining important information, he was unable to capture any more important information.
Just as the meeting was about to end, the quiet darkness outside the window suddenly lit up.
A few generals looked up and looked outside the window. "The wormhole exit has opened. We will land in about three hours. Marshal, we will return to the frigate first."
When Yue An heard this, he looked out the window as well.
What came into view from afar was a planet that was half illuminated by a star.
Lush greenery grew everywhere. Blue oceans and wide rivers tyrannically dissected the continental plates into irregular shapes. In the high latitudes where the weather was clear, a few white snowy peaks could be clearly seen.
However, Yue An did not find a desert.
The planet's vegetation coverage was very impressive. It was almost impossible to find large amounts of exposed land.
"Planet Sintes, the imperial planet of the Empire of Sintes." Ji Xiuyun rubbed Yue An's head and explained softly.
Yue An's eyes widened. He jumped onto the table and anxiously patted the back of Ji Xiuyun's hand. "Meow!"
"Meow meow!"
Where is Earth!
This is not Earth!
This is not a vehicle to Earth!
Ji Xiuyun could not understand Yue An's anxiousness, but he could feel it.
After all the generals left, the Marshal handed a tablet to Yue An.
Yue An reached out his paw and scratched a few words on it.
Ji Xiuyun was stunned. "Earth?"
Yue An was anxious. "Meow!"
Ji Xiuyun couldn't help but show some surprise on his face. "You're an Earthling?"
"Meow!"
The shock on the Marshal's face froze for a few seconds. He did not know what to say.
Yue An anxiously spun around a few times and urged him to speak.
"Yue An …" Ji Xiuyun calmed down. "Earth … the mother planet of mankind … has already disappeared."
Yue An looked at Ji Xiuyun and was stunned for ten seconds.
"Meow!"
Earth has disappeared. What about the cats in my clan?
They are all so smart. They will definitely not screw up!
Humans are so weak, but they survived in the era of the universe. Our awesome nine-tailed cat clan will definitely not have any problems!
However, Ji Xiuyun did not finish his sentence.
After Yue An reacted, he continued. "It has been more than two thousand years. Other than humans, no Earthling has survived."
Yue An was stunned.
The Marshal was so considerate that he did not disturb him at this time.
He guessed that Yue An had probably traveled through time before Earth disappeared. Due to abnormal space fluctuations or a small wormhole, he had arrived at the planet where they met.
Ji Xiuyun did not know how Yue An had adapted to the desolate planet, which was so different from Earth's environment. He was too lazy to guess. Any Earthling could always explode with amazing power when faced with the pressure of death.
Not to mention Yue An, who had amazing abilities.
It took Yue An a full ten minutes to recover from the fact that he had been transported thousands of years in the future by stepping on the teleportation portal.
After such a long time, the cats in his clan had probably become immortals or died.
He did not know how many of them were left.
Although Yue An knew that he had to experience the feeling of things changing with the passage of time when he was rushing to become an immortal, this was the first time he faced such a situation after gaining spiritual wisdom. Therefore, he couldn't help but wilt.
Ji Xiuyun looked at the creamy white furball, who had always been full of energy and loved to toss about, and reached out to scratch his chin.
Yue An rubbed against the big warm hand and responded weakly, "Meow."
The Marshal did not know how to comfort him.
Fortunately, Yue An's wilting did not last long.
The milky-white furball opened his small belly and let the human who was gently stroking him for a while. It seemed that the melancholy had dissipated. He turned over and stood up. Suddenly, he remembered the half-eaten spirit stone that he had thrown into the corner of the room.
In this world, things had changed. Only the spirit stone and his small belly still had some warmth.
"Meow," Yue An returned to Ji Xiuyun's pocket and poked his head out to urge him.
Ji Xiuyun was getting more and more familiar with Yue An's behavior.
"Do you want to go back?" he asked.
Yue An shrank back into his pocket. He was still not in a good mood, "Meow."
Ji Xiuyun put on his cloak and rubbed Yue An's head. Then, he got up and left the meeting room.
The guards waiting outside the meeting room silently followed the Marshal.
The meeting room was separated from the Marshal's room by a cockpit and a training area.
When he passed through the corridor of the training area, two people wearing different uniforms walked towards him. When they saw Ji Xiuyun, they were slightly stunned. Then, they stepped aside and saluted him.
The Marshal, who usually just nodded and walked past without looking, stopped in front of them today.
Then, he took out a white ball from his pocket … Eh?
Wasn't that the little animal that they didn't recognize?
Ji Xiuyun said, "Science class."
"Yes!
Marshal! "
"Do you have a backup of the genetic sequence of Earth creatures?"
"Yes!
Marshal! "
Yue An's ears twitched when he heard the key word. He woke up from his trance. He was hanging on the Marshal's arm.
Ji Xiuyun originally wanted to wait until he got back to the Imperial Planet to get Yue An's permission. Then, he would go to a large scientific institute with sufficient information to do a genetic test.
However, after knowing that Yue An might be an Earth creature, his existence was very different.
In the era of the universe, humans who had lost their true home planet had a fanatical obsession with everything about ancient Earth.
Even if it was useless, the spaceships that headed to the universe would always have a copy of Earth's information.
This was their belief. It was their root.
"Yue An, are you willing to do a genetic test?
I only need a strand of hair. "Ji Xiuyun raised Yue An in front of his eyes.
Yue An looked into Ji Xiuyun's eyes. They were magnanimous.
Unlike normal cats, the Yue An did not shed fur, and it was very difficult to pluck out a strand of fur. Among those present, other than Ji Xiuyun, who was serious, no one could compete with the current Yue An in terms of physical fitness. It was basically an impossible task to safely extract the genetic material.
Yue An thought for a moment. Seeing that Ji Xiuyun was his future owner, he scratched Marshal's cheek with his paw and rubbed it.
A few strands of shiny white cat fur landed on the sleeve of the marshal's black military uniform. It was particularly eye-catching.
Marshal only took one strand and handed it to the science class in front of him.
"Check the Earth's genetic database. I want the results before we land."
The two soldiers in the science class were very smart. As soon as they heard Ji Xiuyun's words, they immediately realized a possibility. Their eyes lit up as they looked at the little furball that retreated back into Marshal's arms. Then, holding the strand of hair, they howled uncontrollably, turned around, and disappeared with a "whoosh".
Galactic calendar, November 8, 2017.
Marshal Ji Xiuyun of the Empire of Sintes returned safely after being attacked and missing for nearly a week. When he appeared in front of the media after landing on Imperial Planet, a cute and delicate little creature was squatting on his military cap.
Under the doubts of hundreds of media and trillions of live broadcast viewers, he answered the questions of the military press officer.
"This is a cat."
Mr. Marshal picked up Yue An, who stubbornly insisted on squatting on his military cap. Facing the media gathered on both sides of the landing site, in front of the entire Empire of Sintes, a total of 18 galaxies, and trillions of live broadcast viewers, he announced the genetic sequence of this little guy.
"It is a treasure left behind by the ancient Earth, the mother planet of mankind."
"The last remaining cat in the entire universe."
The last cat in the entire universe!!!
The people of the Empire were boiling!
