I Can Control Resources

Of course, Gao Xiaomeng wasn’t going to leave.

Because a portion of the Cat Race’s secret had already been exposed.

If she fled now, the more than ten thousand cats would be trapped in an unwinnable situation. If nothing unexpected happened, they would all be sent to a laboratory.

In fact, according to her original plan, she was going to wait until her strength reached Tier Nine or higher before looking for an opportunity to break out of the city during an attack by the Alien Race Alliance Army.

But plans can’t keep up with change.

She had revealed too many secrets in the Underground City. Now, she could no longer stay in the City of Hope; she had to leave as soon as possible.

A scene from the Demon Abyss flashed through Gao Xiaomeng’s mind.

Gao Neng’s last words still echoed in her ears: "Leave. Leave as fast as you can. Don’t worry about what will happen to me. The Human Alliance won’t do anything to me!"

Gao Xiaomeng closed her eyes.

She felt the cold air around her. Snowflakes were falling continuously, and a layer of snow already covered the ground, with blood freezing within it.

"Brother, I will leave, but I will make sure we leave *peacefully*!" Gao Xiaomeng’s eyes snapped open, and she tilted her head back slightly.

"MEOW!!!"

At that one cry, all the feral cats shuddered. Then, as if infused with some kind of energy, their speed became even faster than before.

Meanwhile, Gao Xiaomeng transformed into her human form under the moonlight.

Her long, silvery-white hair danced in the snowfall. A suit of silver battle armor, complete with a short skirt, adorned her body, perfectly accentuating her youthful yet mature figure.

She held two short knives in her hands.

Her gaze fell upon the five high-tier humans rushing toward her.

Her deep blue eyes shone with a brilliant light, dazzling and magnificent, like the two brightest stars in the moonlit sky.

’I have to leave! And to do that... I have to break through the city walls! It’s the only way! As for sneaking out? That’s impossible.’

She had considered hijacking a transport plane, just like when she first arrived.

But with twenty thousand cats...

How many planes would she have to hijack?

Back when she came to the City of Hope from the Forgotten Land, she had been forced to abandon a large number of the Cat Race. Of three thousand feral cats, she had only brought a few hundred with her.

But at that time, the Cat Race had not yet truly evolved.

Now, however, the Cat Race in the City of Hope had successfully evolved.

She couldn’t possibly abandon them again at a time like this.

Not abandoning them meant she had to leave with nearly twenty thousand cats.

Therefore, breaking through the city wall was the only option!

Because with so many of the Cat Race, it was impossible for them all to sneak out of the City of Hope through the sewers. After all, the city’s sewer system didn’t extend beyond the walls.

The City of Hope, humanity’s last stronghold.

Its defenses and technological power were several times stronger than any of the alien Royal Cities. Otherwise, how could it possibly withstand the attacks of the Hundred Races?

Gao Xiaomeng’s original plan had been a surprise attack late at night.

However, they were discovered before they even reached the city gate. Left with no choice, she had to change her plan: first create a diversion, then destroy the main gate’s computer control room.

But now, the main gate’s computer control room had been retaken by the human army.

To put it bluntly...

She had less than half an hour.

If she couldn’t hold out, then the more than ten thousand cats before her, as well as the feral cats still rushing over from the distance, would have no chance of escape.

THUD!

THUD!

With two dull thuds, a few members of the Cat Race blocking the way for Gao Xiaomeng were easily sent flying by the five high-tiers.

Then, they angrily arched their backs, fur standing on end, wanting to pounce again, only to find they couldn’t move at all.

A powerful pressure was bearing down on them.

This was the power of a high-tier!

The deep blue light in Gao Xiaomeng’s eyes flickered incessantly. As one of the high-tiers charged in front of her, she finally struck again, her two short knives slashing out.

BOOM!

With a tremendous roar, the charging high-tier was sent flying backward, his weapon sliced in two, and blood spewing from his mouth like a fountain.

"Tier Seven Late Stage, maybe even Tier Eight!" After hitting the ground, the high-tier immediately reported the intelligence he had gathered.

Only then did he pass out.

Truly...

Dedicated to his job!

"Everyone, be careful! This Cat King is likely Tier Eight!"

"Go all out! Don’t engage her alone! Surround her, and show no mercy!"

"Understood!"

The other four high-tiers glanced at the unconscious Colonel on the ground, and after a moment’s hesitation, they closed in again.

"All of you, go! I’ll hold them off!" Gao Xiaomeng stood with her twin knives held wide, her eyes locked on the four high-tiers before her.

"MEOW!!!"

The Cat Race cried out in grief and fury.

But not a single cat disobeyed Gao Xiaomeng’s command.

They all sprinted toward the city gate.

RAT-TAT-TAT!

In the distance, gunfire erupted once more.

"Why are you slaughtering my subjects?! They haven’t attacked you, have they?!" Gao Xiaomeng roared, her voice ringing out in fury.

"Because you are aliens!" a soldier holding a machine gun and scanning the area shouted back.

BOOM!

A bolt of lightning struck.

The soldier, his face scorched black, collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

"Don’t push me! Or I won’t hesitate to start a massacre!" Arcs of lightning erupted from Gao Xiaomeng’s body, her silvery-white hair whipping about in the electric light.

"It’s a Thunder Domain!"

"This Cat King can not only take human form, but she can also control lightning!"

"Calling command center! Suspected Tier Eight Cat King! Requesting immediate backup! Requesting immediate backup!"
