Dimensional Codex System: I'm really not a cultist!

Chapter 1042: Chapter 1041: You’re Still Alive?

Fang Zheng had just thrown Little Bai the cat out and then remembered that he seemed to have forgotten something, but what exactly was it... Hmm, Fang Zheng couldn’t recall it at the moment.

Oh well, if he couldn’t remember it, then he wouldn’t try to think about it for the time being.

Fang Zheng quickly calmed himself and began observing Little Bai the cat’s battle.

And Little Bai the cat indeed had some skills. Although it was a bit annoyed about being thrown out directly by Fang Zheng, it still let out a ”meow,” and then Fang Zheng saw Little Bai the cat somersault in the air and extend its little paws toward the incoming Corpse Puppet, swiping fiercely...

”Swish!!”

Then Fang Zheng saw a shard of ice suddenly appear out of thin air, piercing through the Corpse Puppet’s head. Little Bai the cat landed steadily on the ground with another ”meow,” extended its paw with a stomp, and immediately the entire corridor was filled with swirling snow and exploding ice crystals, freezing all the Corpse Puppets along the way into ice blocks that shattered all over the place, making it clear there was no more way out.

Shupard: ”......”

Kaiden: ”......”

Liana: ”......”

What is this thing?

Watching Little Bai the cat’s moves, the three of them felt their worldview was overturned, and they couldn’t even fight anymore. Even though Shupard had mentally prepared and thought that even if Little Bai the cat had Special Abilities, she would be surprised. But this... this was beyond Special Abilities, okay!!

Shupard herself knew what Special Abilities were, and to put it simply, it was a form of mental energy used to create shields, solidify enemies with singularities, and create things like shockwaves for combat. But that was it, and no one had ever heard of a Special Ability that could create ice out of thin air!

Of course, when using bullets, there is a Freeze Grenade setup. Hitting an enemy can freeze them, but that’s science!

However, this in front of them was not scientific at all!!

Hmm... it’s alright.

Unlike the three people who almost had their jaws drop, Fang Zheng could only say he was barely satisfied with Little Bai the cat’s performance. After all, based on Fang Zheng’s experience, Silver Level Summoning Stones usually specialized in one area, and now it seemed that Little Bai the cat’s specialty was on the freezing water type... Although there was nothing when used, something still seemed lacking...

After all, the freezing type isn’t too surprising...

Ah, forget it, at least it can still be cuddled in arms to act cute.

But on careful thought, this Little Bai the cat has always been quite aloof, not as adept in acting cute as a kitten, and always reluctantly when cuddled, scratching at times... Ah...

Oh well, the little guys quite like it, so it can just be a pet to keep in the future.

While Fang Zheng was lost in thought, Little Bai the cat turned around, meowing proudly at him. However, when it saw Fang Zheng’s distracted look, Little Bai the cat’s fur fluffed up in anger. Charging over, it quickly climbed onto Fang Zheng’s body via his clothes.

”Meow... Meow...”

”Ah, yes yes, I know, you’re amazing, really amazing...”

Fang Zheng, thinking Little Bai the cat was asking for a reward, reached out and absent-mindedly petted it while responding. However, this only made Little Bai the cat more dissatisfied. It meowed twice more, then somersaulted out of Fang Zheng’s embrace and dashed toward the end of the corridor again.

”Roar...!!”

Just then, another Corpse Puppet lunged at the group, but before it could fully show just how terrifying it was, Little Bai the cat swung its tail and slapped the Corpse Puppet’s leg, sending it airborne, then kicked it like a bowling ball down the corridor, knocking over a few other unlucky ones along the way before stopping.

”..........”

By this time, Shupard and the others were entirely speechless.

It’s one thing if we can’t measure up to those girls, but now we’re even outmatched by a cat?

What’s the point of our existence then?

Fang Zheng obviously didn’t know that Little Bai the cat’s display had caused Sister Xue and others to feel utterly dejected. But since Little Bai the cat was willing to pave the way forward, he was more than happy to relax. So, he watched Little Bai the cat at the front, meowing and darting around, sending all the Corpse Puppets who dared to challenge them back to where they came from, while Fang Zheng hummed a tune. As for Sister Xue and the others, they followed at the back, questioning their own existence.

This situation continued until the group reached the rest area on the other side, where things changed.

”Boom!”

Just as Little Bai the cat was getting ready to repeat its tricks, an explosion suddenly echoed near it, startling Little Bai the cat enough to leap back in shock, while a barrage of bullets quickly followed from the opposite direction.

”Watch out!”

This time Shupard had no time to question their existence, hurriedly pulling Fang Zheng behind cover, then peeked out toward the front. Taking a careful look, Shupard drew in a sharp breath.

”How can this be?”

”What’s up?”

Fang Zheng leaned out curiously, only to realize that shooting at them from down the corridor wasn’t the pitch-black robots like the Geth but rather something else that looked like Turui People covered with armor. However, the glowing small eyes and mechanical fusion appearing on their bodies revealed their true identity.

They were also Corpse Puppets!

”Any problem with that?”

Fang Zheng was rather used to this. Corpse Puppets, when all was said and done, just had a large number and were fast, but with enough heavy firepower, they were less threatening than zombies. At least zombies could infect if they bit you, but as long as Corpse Puppets didn’t kill you, nothing happened.

In melee combat alone, these Corpse Puppets clearly weren’t suited to be minions of the Reapers. By now, Fang Zheng wasn’t surprised if more advanced Corpse Puppets armed with self-destructing capabilities or capable of flight would appear.

So why did Sister Xue seem as if the sky was falling?

”The Reapers never converted members of other species into Corpse Puppets before, but now they’re targeting other species!”

At this, Shupard’s expression turned grim.

A very bad feeling emerged from deep within her heart.

Could it be that the Reapers have already begun invading the Milky Way?

”Meow-----!!”

Meanwhile, while Shupard worried grimly, Little Bai the cat, on the other hand, was fuming from being hit by the Turui Corpse Puppet. It screamed and pounced on the Turui Corpse Puppet, and before Fang Zheng could stop it, Little Bai the cat had jumped up and pounded the Turui Corpse Puppet into bits with its tiny fist.

”Let’s pick up the pace too!”

Realizing the situation was beyond her expectations, Shupard quickly gathered herself and joined the group, rushing forward with guns up.

After blasting through dozens of incoming Corpse Puppets, they arrived in a large hall. Soon, Fang Zheng spotted a pitch-black Geth, this Geth robot’s chest already bearing a large, sparking hole, looking quite frightening. Upon seeing Shupard and others, the Geth raised its head, and its camera blinked a few times.

”Ah... Shupard, I’ve been waiting for you...”
