Tang Yue was taken aback.
The voice was just too familiar to him. He even suspected that he was hallucinating in his reverie.
Tang Yue jolted to attention and turned around. Tomcat was standing inside the airlock, sucking in the heat with its cold body. It had clearly just stepped into Kunlun Station's main entrance. It was covered in dirt, looking extremely wretched. Even the sanitation system hadn't been able to clean it.
Tang Yue reached out to pinch Tomcat's ears as his fingers trembled.
"There's no need to touch me. It's real. It's alive." Tomcat grabbed Tang Yue's hand and slapped the latter in the cheek. "Doesn't it hurt? You aren't dreaming."
"You… You…" Tang Yue turned agape. In that one second, he had a thousand questions to ask, but all of them were stuck in his throat as he couldn't say a word.
Tomcat stepped into the Hab and closed the airlock hatch.
