Chapter 173: 173. You’re Really Bad

"What kind of abnormality?" Dylan asked, his eyebrows furrowed.

Anna also looked at Doctor Rovan worriedly. She hoped that Kitty would be fine and nothing would happen to him.

"Some animals are restless and couldn’t rest at all, some other animals are exceptionally sleepy such as this cat." Doctor Rovan patted Kitty’s head tenderly. "This is still based on speculation but many carnivorous and omnivorous mammals including cats, dogs, badgers, bears, foxes, coatis, civets, hedgehogs, opossums, skunks, sloths, squirrels, raccoons, chipmunks, mice, hamsters, rats, tigers, lions, and many others."

Anna looked at Doctor Rovan with a blank look.

For something that was still based on speculation, the list of the animals’ species was already extremely long. At the very least, for Anna, there were so many species that Doctor Rovan mentioned.

Though, Doctor Rovan knew very well that this was only a small number of them.

Dylan’s lips also twitched. "They’re all feeling sleepier than before?"

"Yes. Some of them are already sleepy enough, but based on the research data, most of the animals showed even worse sleepiness. A part of the researchers was already tasked to investigate the reasons why these animals showed such abnormality but so far, there hasn’t been anything found." Doctor Rovan sighed.

He himself also wished that there were more things to be found, but it seemed that this was nothing more than useless wishes.

"Aside from these mammals, are other animals showed strange abnormality?"

"Yes. Some types of insects are more active while the others are far less active. We thought that this might be caused by the flood, but there’s no definite answer for the speculation. Not to mention, I’m not a member of the research facility and couldn’t know the details," Doctor Rovan continued calmly.

He only knew a bit because he was one of the few doctors who were tasked to help with the animals in the farm. From there, he found out that some animals showed strange abnormality that was beyond normal range.

But the cause and others hadn’t been found.

"Anything else?"

"Marine animals showed higher aggression," Doctor Rovan said slowly, "Even normal fishes are said to be harder to catch."

Anna tilted her head. "Is it because the flood water is mixed all over the world?"

With such high flood, it was not strange if the entire world’s water was mixed together. Even if there were some separation within, there were also some other mixes. Some species might not be able to adapt and some other species evolved instead.

After all, Anna didn’t know either.

"I don’t know, but it’s estimated that the government will not recommend people to eat fishes for now. There is some substance mixed with these fixes," Doctor Rovan replied.

Substances?

This word caused both Anna and Dylan to have their interest piqued up.

Sea was a bit far away from their place, but there was a lake not far from their city. Even if the flood water receded, the water from the lake shouldn’t drain completely.

Doctor Rovan seemed to be able to guess what they were thinking when he saw their look. "Don’t think about it. The local water areas are controlled by the military to prevent people from fishing and possibly be contaminated by the substance. Until they found out what it was, they wouldn’t release the soldiers."

Anna and Dylan nodded their head.

Though, there was still some curiosity deep in their heart.

"So, is there anything we can do for Kitty?" Anna switched the conversation back to Kitty. In any case, those other animals are located far away from her, so Anna will just focus on Kitty in front of her.

This little cat is the most important for now.

"No." Doctor Rovan shook his head. "You should just let him be but make sure that he still ate to fill his nutrition and didn’t lack at all. I’m not sure about what changes will happen to these animals, but it might be something interesting in the future."

Interesting?

Dylan and Anna shook their head.

They asked for a few more questions to Doctor Rovan about Kitty and also some other things. Since most animals were in this condition and they were all being watched heavily, there was not much that Doctor Rovan could do.

Aside from them, there were not many people who were keeping pets in this time.

After all, they were already feeling very difficult to feed themselves, how could they spare their time to feed their pets?

So the number of people who keep pets in the base was very low.

After settling the payment to Doctor Rovan, Doctor Rovan left. He had to take the rest of the payment in the mission center because there was the deposit paid by Dylan there.

"Kitty, if there’s anything uncomfortable, you should tell me." Anna patted Kitty’s head tenderly carefully.

"Meow~." Kitty laid down lazily. The boxes were not as comfortable as the bed, but Kitty didn’t really mind. He only felt that he was so lazy and wanted to sleep more.

Anna looked at Kitty helplessly and turned to see Dylan was staring in their direction.

"What is it Dylan?"

"Do you want to pay a visit to the lake?"

"It’s being guarded by the military," Anna reminded.

"We can come with the military." Dylan smirked. "There are two people who are part of the military near us."

Anna was stunned for a moment before laughing out loud.

Both Lucy and Mark’s families were part of the military and also had some position in the base. If these two were to ask to check the lake with Dylan and Anna, there was high possibility that it would succeed.

Even though it was said that they had to be independent after they had turned into adulthood, it was naturally possible for them to ask for some things from time to time.

Anyway, their family members would not care about this little thing.

"You’re really bad," Anna said between her laugh. "But I like it so much."
