The Villainous Female Side Character Pretends to Be an Omega in the Apocalypse and Raises a Cat - Chapter 5

One day until the apocalypse.

The hospitals were already packed with patients. Those still awake had several comatose relatives hospitalized beside them.

The situation was no longer just news reports but something happening right around them. Panic began to spread, and people rushed to stock up on supplies.

But by then, supermarkets had already been cleared out, and even convenience store shelves stood empty.

As the situation escalated to this point, the government had no choice but to step in.

They urged everyone through the news to minimize outdoor activities and wear masks when going out, announcing that a team of experts had been assembled to investigate the cause.

Everything was unfolding just as it had in her previous life, unchanged by her presence as a mere butterfly.

Chi Yingdong decided to move today.

Having lived through this once before, Chi Yingdong knew every critical moment on the timeline.

From the outbreak of the apocalypse to the rising sea levels and the eventual submergence of the cities, the entire process spanned a month and a half.

Chi Yingdong had no plans to head north just yet.

In the early stages of the apocalypse, major factions would be busy fighting over resources and power. Official bases wouldn’t be established until these groups had divided the spoils.

The first thing Chi Yingdong did after her rebirth was to contact an agent and buy a high-floor apartment.

The second was to scout locations: instant noodle factories, grain warehouses, and courier distribution centers in the city.

After all, who could resist a “zero-dollar shopping spree” during an apocalypse?

As the clock struck midnight, the moon in the sky suddenly turned red, eerie and terrifying.

Chi Yingdong gazed calmly out the window, the last trace of hope in her heart vanishing in that moment.

What was destined to come had finally arrived.

Pulling the curtains shut, Chi Yingdong sat on the sofa and browsed through real-time updates on Weibo.

Sure enough, many had noticed the change in the moon. Anxious netizens poured out their feelings online.

Gradually, posts predicting the apocalypse began trending. The authorities hurriedly deleted them, but this only backfired, fueling public panic even further.

Amid the flood of messages, Chi Yingdong spotted one related to zombies.

A couple reported that their partner, who had been sleeping in the same room, suddenly woke up acting very strange, constantly complaining of thirst but refusing to drink even when water was offered…

More and more similar accounts began to surface…

Chi Yingdong knew: the apocalypse had begun.

She turned to look at the kitten, who gazed back at her.

While Chi Yingdong was watching the sky, Meng Qinghe had also noticed the moon’s transformation and knew the apocalypse had arrived as scheduled.

She gently leaned against Chi Yingdong, the two of them, one big, one small, leaning on each other.

After the apocalypse began, the world would still leave a glimmer of hope for humanity. Some humans would awaken supernatural abilities. Meng Qinghe thought how wonderful it would be if Chi Yingdong could gain the ability to communicate with animals.

But more than being understood, Meng Qinghe wished even more for Chi Yingdong to acquire skills that would ensure her survival.

The night grew deeper. Outside the window, the red moon still hung high in the sky, its hue deepening like fresh blood, oppressive and unsettling.

Chi Yingdong yawned, leisurely scratching the kitten under its chin.

Watching the kitten melt into a puddle of contentment, Chi Yingdong felt a surge of joy and extended an invitation, “Would you like to sleep with me tonight, baby?”

“Meow?”

Meng Qinghe looked up, puzzled. She’d been too lost in the pleasant scratching to catch what Chi Yingdong had said.

“Seems like you’re quite willing.”

“Meow meow?”

What? Willing to do what?

Chi Yingdong chuckled softly, the corners of her almond-shaped eyes lifting like tiny hooks.

The kitten was utterly bewildered, watching Chi Yingdong walk toward the bathroom.

When she saw Chi Yingdong again, the other had already finished bathing and changed into a fresh set of pajamas.

It was a blue floral-print dress, with lace trim adorning the collar and cuffs, making her look like an adorable and delicate little princess.

“Come sleep with Mommy, sweetie.”

Chi Yingdong scooped up Meng Qinghe and headed toward the bedroom.

Sleep?! What sleep?!

Meng Qinghe flailed her limbs, trying to escape. But her body was tightly restrained, leaving no room for flight.

Forced into this co-sleeping arrangement, Meng Qinghe lay stiffly on the bed, not daring to move.

Reflecting on this period of time.

Chi Yingdong had been referring to herself as “Mommy,” and she said it so naturally!

As if she had already immersed herself in the role of the kitten’s mother, truly treating the kitten as her own baby.

However, when that word “Mommy” reached Meng Qinghe’s ears, it stirred an indescribable feeling in her heart, like a feather gently brushing against her heart, ticklish and tingling.

Before she could fully recover from this peculiar sensation, Chi Yingdong wrapped an arm around her, pulling her closer, and pressed her cheek against the kitten’s head.

Meng Qinghe, who had never been this close to anyone before, felt her heart suddenly race, as if her entire body were about to catch fire. She was immensely grateful to be a cat at that moment.

Her fur covered her entire face, preventing anyone from seeing the blush of embarrassment beneath. Otherwise, she would have wished for a hole to crawl into and hide herself away!

Every night before, the neighborhood had been exceptionally quiet, but tonight, the outside world was destined to be restless. In the middle of the night, terrified screams echoed one after another through the community.

To avoid having her sleep disturbed, Chi Yingdong found a pair of earplugs, blocked her ears, and held the kitten close as she drifted peacefully to sleep.

Sharing a bed with Chi Yingdong, Meng Qinghe simply couldn’t fall asleep!!!

This… this was just too intimate.

A cat’s hearing and sense of smell are particularly sharp. Meng Qinghe could hear Chi Yingdong’s soft, rhythmic breathing and caught the faint scent of orchids lingering around her.

The kitten turned her head slightly, gazing at Chi Yingdong’s serene sleeping face, and gradually relaxed, following her into dreams.

Holding the kitten, Chi Yingdong slept exceptionally well.

Before, she hadn’t understood why everyone wanted their cats to sleep in bed with them. Now she understood and even felt a bit regretful that in her previous life, despite having a cat for so long, she had never once slept with it.
