Chapter 304: Emergency!

The entire room was enveloped in pitch darkness as all the lights went out simultaneously.

“Power cut?” Zhao Yao stared wide-eyed at his surroundings.

At the same time, an ear-splitting shriek rang in his ears. The intensity of the scream almost tore the building apart.

“Zhao Yao!” Anger roared through Rice Cake as she exclaimed at the top of her voice, “Who switched off my computer?”

Zhao Yao suddenly recalled that the computer which Rice Cake used was the traditional desktop. Without a steady flow of electricity, it would instantly shut down.

Just when he was about to open his mouth, another wave of shrilling shrieks erupted from behind.

“Ah! Zhao Yao! Zhao Yao!” Matcha sounded as if he had been stabbed multiple times. With his paws flailing in the air, Matcha ran around the living room as his heart pounded rapidly, “Why is the wifi suddenly gone? I’m about to win this round!”

“Zhao Yao!” Somehow, Elizabeth had floated in front of Zhao Yao’s face like some sorts of spirits. A red glimmer flickered across her eyes as she mumbled, “Why is the internet gone? I just got to the most important part of the drama!”

This sudden power cut had also attracted Baiquan out of his room as he ran his fingers through his hair and asked, “Boss, why is the electricity suddenly gone?”

Hanako slammed her door open and screamed, “Why is there no internet? Zhao Yao, have you forgotten to pay the internet bills?”

Zhao Yao could only raise his shoulders in a half shrug as he was surrounded by a horde of angry mob, “How am I supposed to know? It’s just some power cut!”

A group of supercats and humans encircled Zhao Yao in the living room, with their eyes glued to him. Zhao Yao whipped out his phone and tried to contact the relevant authorities but it was to no avail. A frown gradually crept up his face as he continued dialing relentlessly, “This line is too busy! I simply can’t get through! My phone is going to explode from this!”

He shook his head before concluding, “Do not worry. Based on my life experiences, such problems will be gone soon. Power should resume in a few hours’ time.”

The lights already came back on before Zhao Yao finished his statement.

With a grin on his face, Zhao Yao declared, “I told you!”

However, this seemed to the start of a long night. Just half an hour later, the electric supply was disrupted again, which similarly affected the internet. With it, the living room burst out into a chorus of wails.

The street lamps along the whole street looked as if it were twitching. It would flicker on and off every half an hour, causing Matcha and Rice Cake to cry in pain.

The second night, Matcha eagerly switched on his phone as he got ready for a new round of game. Halfway through the game, the short circuit disrupted Matcha’s gameplay as he smashed his paw against the wall resentfully.

However, this problem did not persist for the rest of the night, allowing Matcha to complete two games peacefully, despite both ending as a loss. This was until the third game ...

“Hahaha, I got the haste rune right at the start of the game! I also managed to snag first blood! I’m a genius!” Matcha’s fingers continued running around his phone screen as he smiled gleefully. With this huge advantage under his belt, Matcha was confident of capturing the coveted victory.

However, the living room was enveloped in darkness once again, implying another short circuit.

“No!” Matcha collapsed to the ground as he let out an agonizing moan, “Why? God, why do you have to do this to me?”

“Ah!” Rice Cake’s body began trembling violently atop the chair. The chair was on the verge of breaking because of her.

“D*mn it!” Zhao Yao was in the middle of PUBG. His eyes burned with fury when he noticed that he had disconnected from the game.

He immediately picked up the phone from the table and began contacting the authorities. He went online and realized that this short-circuiting was not as simple as it seemed. The entire northern half of Jiangmen City was submerged in the problem. All kinds of speculations floated in the air but the government remained silent about the problem.

“This kind of thing ...” Suddenly, Zhao Yao’s brows knitted together as he muttered, “Don’t tell me this is connected to supercats.”

Rice Cake wailed, “Zhao Yao! Quickly fix the problem!”

“I will die without wifi!” Matcha declared as he began rolling along the length of the couch.

Similarly, Hanako and Baiquan had left their rooms with disappointment sagging through their bodies.

Baiquan let out a long sigh before commenting, “I was in the middle of my live stream.”

Sensing their abject disappointment, Zhao Yao took out the laptop from his drawer and comforted them, “This is a blessing in disguise! Let’s watch a movie together!” Thankfully, the laptop was fully charged, making it ideal for such situations.

Hence, all of them huddled together on the couch as they watched the movie from Zhao Yao’s laptop.

However, this power cut was especially long. Electricity did not resume even after the laptop run out of juice.

Matcha kneeled on the ground and threw his paws in the air, “Zhao Yao, when is the electricity returning?”

Rice Cake chimed in, “You said that the electricity would come back at the end of the movie!”

Zhao Yao could only smile awkwardly and replied, “Soon, it will be back soon.”

Four hours later ...

Matcha’s body laid flat on the couch as his blood-shot eyes stared straight at the ceiling. He seemed completely devoid of spirit and energy.

Elizabeth was resting on the couch with an eye mask resting on her face. She was entertaining herself with her illusions.

Roly Poly, Dust Ball, Mango, and Lightning were lying on the floor aimlessly.

Suddenly, Mango reached his paw towards a colorful ball before slamming it in Dust Ball’s direction. Dust Ball noticed it and slapped it towards Lightning before he bounced it towards Roly Poly.

Roly Poly watched as the ball slowed down before stopping directly in front of him. He stared dumfoundedly at it before mumbling, “What do you want me to do? Why do I have to play with this ball?”

Lightning retorted, “Fatso, it’s your turn! Slap the ball!”

Roly Poly’s forehead creased together as he slapped the ball towards Dust Ball unwillingly.

At the same time, the entire cat nation had been enveloped in chaos and screams. Without recharging the generator for such a long time, the extradimensional belly was submerged in darkness since 10 minutes ago.

All sorts of screams and roars erupted in the place.

Zhao Yao curled his lips in disgust as he refreshed the webpage. However, there were no updates on the matter.

Finally, he could no longer tolerate this nonsense and decided to give Inspector Ho a call, “Hey, Inspector Ho, what the hell is going on? Why is this power cut taking so long?”

It was so noisy over at Inspector Ho’s end. He simply screamed into his phone when he heard Zhao Yao, “Why did you call me about a power cut? I don’t even provide electricity! However, you have to thank your lucky stars, this power cut should be the work of either an apostle or supercat.”

“The power of electricity?” Zhao Yao continued, “Then what are you waiting for? If this power cut continues, it would cause social unrest, shaking the very foundation of this nation!”

Inspector Ho replied helplessly, “We want to solve the problem but this guy is secretly stealing the power underground. It’s extremely difficult to locate him. You just have to wait patiently.”

Zhao Yao instantly hanged up. In the middle of their conversation, Matcha had already slammed his paw against Zhao Yao’s shoulder before speaking viciously, “So someone is sabotaging? Zhao Yao, how can you let them go? Catch them and restore the power supply!”

At the same time, Elizabeth had thrown her eye mask to the ground and screamed, “Yes, you must catch this bad guy! After that, feed him with shit until he dies!”

Mission: Stop the power cut!

Objective: Catch the mastermind behind this episode and restore electricity to Jiangmen City.

Reward: 1000 experience points

Punishment: Nil

Zhao Yao stared at the exclamation marks and whispered to himself, “Finally, a bountiful mission.”

He pounded his chest confidently as he stared at the supercats, “Let’s go and capture this brat right now! No ...”

Suddenly, Inspector Ho’s words rang in his ears. Zhao Yao required Gaia’s help since the opponent was hiding underground. Zhao Yao clearly remembered that he had the power to do just that.

Zhao Yao absorbed himself in the belly following a wave of ripples permeating the air.

After explaining the situation to the cats, they immediately broke out into protests.

“He shall not be forgiven! “Gaia’s body emanated a vicious aura as he screamed, “How can he stoop to such a level? Zhao Yao, bring me out now! I’m going to catch him and shred him to pieces!”

Ares tagged along, “Bring me too! I wanna destroy that guy!”

Catherine and Diana joined in the chorus, “We also want to go! He cannot be forgiven! This is an atrocious crime!”

Zhao Yao waved his arms in the air before announcing, “Alright, all of you, do not get too agitated. There’s no point sending so many cats out for this mission. I only need Gaia and the cats part of the supercat armor.”

A few minutes later, Zhao Yao was standing on the rooftop, with Matcha, Elizabeth, Roly Poly, Dust Ball, Gaia, Ares, F?jin, and Uncle Egg all over him.

Considering the long journey ahead, Zhao Yao decided to go without Mango. On the other hand, Matcha volunteered for this mission.

“Supercat Armor! Activate!”

Zhao Yao jumped from the rooftop and came crashing towards the ground. Instead of colliding with it, he simply went through it as if it were water.
