Chapter 52: It Seems Rude Not to Help

“Meow meow~（Since you’re a Forest Elf who can use magic, wouldn’t it be better if you went yourself? After all, I don’t know magic. If I go running around, I’ll just slow you down. ）” Li Li said, meeting Matthew’s gaze. Since the other party was a magician, wouldn’t it be easy to just use a detection spell? Why did he have to drag him along? This would greatly increase the risk of exposure.

“Gururu~（Although I can use magic, I’m just a Magic Apprentice. I haven’t reached the level of Magician yet, and my speed is relatively slow, and it takes time to cast spells. ）” Matthew looked at Li Li with some embarrassment and said, “Gururu~（If we encounter enemies, I may not be able to run and cast spells at the same time, so I need a nimble helper to take me away. ）”

“Meow meow~（So you want me to be your mount, right?）” Li Li immediately understood what the other party was planning after hearing those words.

Not only was the other party slow when chanting spells, but the casting time was also long. If there was no one to carry him, he would probably be beaten to death at close range.

That’s why he came to him, hoping that he would be carried away, right?

“Gururu~（That’s pretty much it. You’re fast and agile, and you’re so strong. And I can cast spells. We’re a perfect match for cooperation. ）” Matthew nodded like a pecking chicken after listening. This was exactly what he meant.

He had just arrived in this world and still hadn’t figured out what was going on. He had to contact the humans to gather some information before he could make his next decision.

“Meow meow~（There’s no problem with carrying you, but we have to make it clear in advance that if we encounter danger, we must run first. ）” Li Li said after some thought.

It was definitely not possible to directly refuse the other party. The best way was to let the other party retreat in the face of difficulties and wait with him for the time to pass.

“Gururu~（That’s for sure. I’m not stupid. I’ll definitely run if I can’t beat them. ）” Matthew agreed without thinking.

“Meow meow~（That’s good. You can continue opening cans for me. I’m not even half full yet. I still need to eat more food to replenish my strength. ）” Li Li said to Matthew.

“Gururu~（You still want to eat?）” Matthew froze, rubbing his hands.

“Meow meow~（Nonsense. If I don’t eat my fill, how can I run fast with you on my back? Besides, it’s still early. If we go out in broad daylight, aren’t we just asking to d*e?）” Li Li said while gnawing on a chicken leg. “Meow meow~（Only at night is our time. We’re both relatively small, and with the cover of night, we can run to the human side. They definitely won’t be able to discover us. ）”

He was a cat, so day and night had no effect on him. But night was different for humans. They definitely wouldn’t be able to see clearly.

Especially in this abandoned city, once night fell, it would be pitch black. The night would be his best camouflage.

“Gururu~（You have a point……）” Matthew fell silent for a while and had to admit that the other party was right after a moment of thought.

During the day, although they were small, they were still easy to spot.

But it would be different at night. They could just find a place to squat down, and no one would notice them.

The streets were quiet at night, as if the entire city had fallen into a deathly silence. On the dark streets, two figures were quietly moving along the corners of the walls.

It was Li Li and Matthew, who had waited until nightfall.

“Swish, swish.” Li Li poked his big head out from the corner and looked around, then raised his paw to signal Matthew behind him to come over.

Matthew, carrying his bow and arrows, saw this and immediately followed, panting.

Before long, the two figures arrived near a church.

“Meow meow~（Those powerful humans are here. It’s your turn to perform. ）” Li Li said as he approached the iron fence. If he wanted to gather information, sneaking into ordinary survivor settlements to eavesdrop would definitely not be worth the risk.

After all, what kind of information could be found in such a place? Only the group he had encountered today, who dared to fight zombies with cold weapons, were the ones who truly possessed important information.

And the method of finding these guys was very simple—it all relied on his sensitive nose.

“Gururu~（Don’t worry, leave it to me. ）” Matthew said, gripping his staff and chanting a spell in a low voice. Soon, the two standing figures gradually disappeared.

This was the “Invisibility” spell that Matthew used. It was by relying on this trick that he dared to venture into the dangerous other world.

“Today was really unlucky. I actually encountered a Power-type Mutant Zombie.” The muscular man with bandages on his bare upper body spat and cursed, “It’s a good thing it didn’t catch me, otherwise I would have turned into a zombie.”

“Yeah, otherwise I would have had to k*ll you.” The crew-cut man beside him said with a smile, lying leisurely under the statue of the Virgin Mary, sipping vodka.

“Really? I’m so grateful to you for saving me from harming others.” The bald man cursed angrily.

“Who says it isn’t? As a reward, give me your vodka too. You’re injured and shouldn’t be drinking.” The crew-cut man said with a smile.

“Don’t joke around. Alcohol can heal my pain. And don’t forget that I’ve taken the Evolution Potion. A small injury like this will heal quickly.”

The bald man clamped his legs tightly around the bottle of alcohol at his feet, afraid that the other party would steal it.

“Alright, you two stop arguing. Be quiet, or we won’t know if a zombie comes over later.”

“The captain and the others have gone to the laboratory now. We have to guard this area.”

The blonde woman standing by the window said, her eyes constantly scanning the surroundings.

“It’s okay. Zombies usually don’t dare to come over. Didn’t we throw the body of the Mutant Zombie nearby?”

“Yeah, I think the captain and the others are the ones we should be worried about. The Wolben Corporation building isn’t easy to get into. I wonder if the captain and the others can successfully get the Evolution Potions from the underground laboratory?” Hearing this, the two replied with a smile.

Li Li, who was squatting in the corner of the church, finally got the answer to his doubts.

He had wondered why these guys were so strong, daring to engage in close combat with the muscular zombies. It turned out they had taken Evolution Potions!

This thing, which could greatly enhance physical fitness in novels, actually existed in this world.

No, he had to get some.

Otherwise, if he only relied on his Greedy Giant Stomach to eat, how much would he have to eat to catch up to the physical fitness of these guys?

Just as Li Li was thinking this, he suddenly felt himself being pulled.

Matthew beside him was signaling him to leave. Li Li saw this and followed him with small steps.
