Apocalypse Cat: Survival in the End of the World — Episode 8

Master, wake up! It's more dangerous in here than outside. He groggily opened the shop door. Xiaohai, what's wrong? Once he was awake, I jumped onto the nearby table.

Then I frantically scratched at the wall. We had agreed earlier If I tapped the wall and led him to the door, it meant extreme danger — we had to leave now.

His face went pale instantly. He got up and started packing in a hurry. Just then, urgent knocks sounded outside the door. The same rhythm as Aunt Zhang's knocks.

Miss Li, are you asleep? Please open the door. We need to do a sudden health check. A sudden check? In the middle of the night?

His face turned deathly pale. The flashlight beam trembled in his shaking hand. Don't look. I crouched as low as I could.

A warning growl rumbled from my throat. He understood. He suppressed his fear and covered his mouth. He made no sound at all.

But the doctor's voice came again. It's just a routine check. It'll be quick. We do this for everyone's safety in the shelter.

Please cooperate. He knew there was no way out. He scanned the tiny room in panic. It held only a simple bed and a table.

Even the window was sealed shut. So I ran to the bed. I pointed with my paw at the gap under it. He got my meaning.

He gritted his teeth and squeezed into the gap. He barely fit. It was almost suffocating. But it was our only hiding spot for now. I had just settled beside him

when I heard a click from the lock. They had a key, as expected.
