Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 286 Life-or-Death Struggle
"Damn it!"

Unexpectedly, someone recognized Qin Suya, and a fierce glint flashed in Li Fei's eyes.

Qin Suya's resistance disgusted him, and the presence of witnesses further complicated his escape plan. Without hesitation, Li Fei pulled a familiar pistol from his pocket and pressed it hard against Qin Suya's chin.

"You bitch, you'll have to serve me properly in your next life!"

With a sinister grin, Li Fei pulled the trigger without hesitation.

"Ow!"

In a flash, Lin Ge bumped his head into Li Fei's arm, opening the gun barrel slightly. The bullet grazed Qin Suya's cheek, pierced her long black hair, and then slammed into the artificial hill in the monkey mountain with a 'bang,' scaring the monkeys into fleeing.

"Damn little beast!"

Enraged by the repeated unexpected events, Li Fei swung his rifle butt at Lin Ge.

"You're the animal!"

Lin Ge nimbly dodged the attack, flipped over and scratched Li Fei's wrist with his claw before quickly jumping away.

His expression and heartbeat were more intense than ever before, not because Li Fei was a great threat, but because of the gun in the guy's hand... Lin Ge had seen it several times at the Zhanghe Police Station.

This is a police pistol, officially named the Type 64 pistol, but known as the "Little Cannon" in the police station. Zhang Yong once mocked it, saying that this gun couldn't kill anyone, and Zhu Jun preferred to carry a stun gun rather than this thing when on duty.

However, regardless of the circumstances, this is still a police handgun! The fact that this gun appeared in the hands of criminals is undoubtedly evidence of a very serious situation, and may even indicate a more serious case behind it.

Did the police lose their gun?
Or perhaps the police were killed and Li Fei took their guns?

Either way, it's a very serious problem.

Moreover, Li Fei is currently armed, while his side is entirely unarmed. Whether it's Qin Suya, himself, or Luo Jue, who dares to bet that the small firecrackers won't actually kill anyone?
So even though attacking the head would have been the best option at this moment, Lin Ge still launched a frenzied attack on Li Fei's wrist without hesitation. He couldn't let him continue operating the pistol; no one dared to gamble on the thug's brutality.

"Beast! Beast!"

Li Fei was being relentlessly pursued by Lin Ge, and when he fired another shot, Lin Ge nimbly dodged it.

The bullets struck the monkey mountain, sending sparks flying and the monkeys scattering in terror.

Guns are indeed powerful, but at close range they're not enough to threaten a cat. As long as he doesn't have the chance to create distance, Li Fei won't be able to hurt Lin Ge.

The gunshot rang out crisply, though not with the metallic clang of gunfire seen on television; it was still quite unusual in a zoo. Nearby tourists began to peer in, and the monkeys below started squealing and shouting.

Luo Jue's initial charge was halted by the threat of the gun. But seeing his boss entangled with the enemy, he mustered his courage and charged forward.

With his arms, especially his wrists, covered in blood, Li Fei could no longer contain his rage.

Especially when Lin Ge took advantage of the chaos to rip off his hat and wig, Li Fei finally became ruthless.

Ignoring Lin Ge's harassment, he once again pointed his gun at the semi-conscious Qin Suya, intending to kill the woman who needed to be silenced the most.

Luo Jue approached from behind and slammed his elbow hard into Li Fei's side, causing him to groan in pain.

It's clear that Li Fei lacked proper firearms training. Perhaps due to his status as a wanted criminal, or perhaps due to limited ammunition, despite carrying a gun, he was repeatedly harassed by Lin Ge and Luo Jue, and was unable to eliminate Qin Suya, whom he could have easily killed.

"Get out!"

As Luo Jue desperately lunged forward to seize the gun, Li Fei punched Luo Jue hard in the forehead, causing blood to splatter everywhere.

At the same time, Lin Ge scratched Li Fei's face with his claws, leaving a long bloody mark from his forehead to his cheek, quickly staining one of his eyes red with blood.

Both sides fought with full force, showing no mercy.

Luo Jue was still young, and Lin Ge was just a cat. Even when Li Fei fought back fiercely, disregarding his injuries, the combined strength of the two of them was no match for the burly man. Li Fei simply released Qin Suya's hand, swung his arm, and kicked Luo Jue, sending him flying.

He swept his left hand across like a fan, forcing Lingo to duck and take two steps back.

"Wang!"

A piercing bark rang out, and Teddy, who had been restrained by zoo security, suddenly appeared. Somehow, it had broken free of the guards and somehow managed to find its way to its owner.

Behind Teddy were two security guards who had caught up with him.

One was older, around sixty years old, and the other was a young man in his twenties.

The two followed Teddy to the top of Monkey Mountain, where they heard gunshots. They immediately saw the man and cat fighting, Qin Suya lying on the ground covered in blood, and the realistic pistol in Li Fei's hand.

"Mom!"

The old man was startled and quickly scrambled behind the monkey mountain to hide.

The young man hesitated for a moment, about to step forward to help, when the old man grabbed his clothes and pulled him into the side of the artificial hill. Immediately afterward came a terrified shout: "Are you out of your mind? Just call the police!"

On the other side, the scene became even more chaotic as the ferocious Teddy joined the fight.

Li Fei, who temporarily released Qin Suya, first forced Lin Ge and Luo Jue to retreat, then fired a shot to scare the young security guard who peeked out from around the bend in the artificial hill, and then turned and ran.

Lin Ge had already given up on pursuing him. Anyway, the collar had already made a call and the situation had been reported. All he had to do was wait for the main force from Zhangzhou to surround and annihilate him, and that bastard would have nowhere to escape.

To be honest, Lin Ge was still a bit scared when it came to guns.

Or rather, no one in this world is immune to cowardice; its harm is utterly unreasonable and brutal.

Unexpectedly, even after deciding to run away, Li Fei was still unwilling to let Qin Suya go.

He fired a shot from a distance, hitting Qin Suya, causing the woman who had fallen to the ground to groan in pain, and blood began to flow rapidly down her lower abdomen.

"Damn it!"

Seeing Qin Suya on the verge of death, Lin Ge was furious.

Seeing Teddy rushing towards Li Fei without regard for anything else, Lin Ge left Luo Jue to take care of Qin Suya while he followed closely behind Teddy in pursuit of the fleeing Li Fei. From the other end of the collar came the sounds of chaos and gunfire, which sent the entire Zhanghe Police Station into a frenzy.

"Mimi, stop chasing!"

Over there came Nie Guoqiang's stern shouts and Zhu Jun's yells of "Get your equipment, put on your bulletproof vests, and notify the armed police!"

"I'm not afraid of anything!"

Lin Ge was both ashamed and furious. This was the first time he had failed to protect his target and allowed the criminals to succeed. Even though the fact that the other party had a gun was indeed intimidating, Lin Ge was still annoyed and vowed to teach Li Fei a lesson.

Another point is that, as Lin Ge clearly remembers, the small firecracker could only hold seven bullets in total.

In the chaos just now, Li Fei pulled the trigger at least five times. In other words, he only had two bullets left in his gun at most. If Lin Ge was able to dodge five shots, couldn't he dodge the last two?
Lin Ge was already quite familiar with the power and firing speed of the small firecracker, so he didn't think dodging it at close range would be difficult. As long as he avoided forming a straight line with Li Fei's arm, dodging the bullets wouldn't be a problem for the cat.

"What kind of beast is this?!"

Enraged, Li Fei couldn't bear to waste his precious bullets on a cat and a dog. Even though he had impulsively pulled the trigger repeatedly, he now realized that reality was not a game.

Once the bullets are gone, this pistol is no better than a fire poker.

A person was running ahead, with a cat and a dog chasing behind. The commotion quickly surprised the surrounding tourists, who, upon seeing the pistol in Li Fei's hand, cried out in alarm and hurriedly moved away.

Knowing that it was too late to disguise himself and hide, Li Fei didn't hesitate to run in an arc towards the zoo exit. He planned to escape as quickly as possible before the police arrived, and then figure out another way to deal with the group of people and animals from before.

"Wang!"

Teddy was faster than Li Fei had expected. Perhaps it was angered by its owner's experience. Just as Li Fei was about to pass by the animal park again, it pounced and bit Li Fei's calf, making Li Fei freeze in his tracks.

"court death!"

'Bang!' "Ouch!

Teddy yelped and fell headfirst, one of its front legs visibly twisted and broken. A firecracker might be laughed at for not being able to kill, but to a dog that doesn't understand guns, it's still a very dangerous weapon.

Li Fei, with a gun in hand, ultimately posed a significant threat.

Ignoring his worries for Little Teddy, Lin Ge used this opportunity to once again stalk Li Fei. Li Fei shuddered when he saw Lin Ge; the cat's claws and agility in dodging gunfire had already left a deep impression on him.

So he paused, turned around, brushed past Ling Ge, and ran around into the animal park.

At this point, the zoo's loudspeakers began issuing loud warnings, urging visitors to find a safe place to take refuge, not to approach the monkey mountain or the predator enclosure, and not to have any contact with any dangerous individuals who were trying to escape.

Meanwhile, the sound of police sirens could be faintly heard; Nie Guoqiang and his group were moving faster than Lin Ge and Li Fei had anticipated. This made Li Fei even more anxious, and he began searching the animal enclosure for the hostages, looking for a final chance to escape.

He had a gun, and with the hostages in his possession, the police were already hesitant to act.

With the help of our accomplices outside, we should be able to turn this inexplicably bad situation around.

To be honest, Li Fei still doesn't understand how things turned out this way.

It was just a woman, something I thought could be resolved in two seconds. I'd just smash and push her into the monkey mountain to die, then have the monkeys help dispose of the body. It seemed like a simple matter.

Little did he expect Qin Suya's willpower and resistance to be even more resolute than he had imagined, turning a simple murder into a waste of time and a crime that led to her exposure. Adding to the confusion were the inexplicable appearance of the little brat and the cat, leaving Li Fei still completely baffled. Didn't they seem like strangers when they first met? How did he suddenly become a hero? Or were the people of Zhang City, even the cat, all insane, even more irrational than the useless people he had dealt with elsewhere?
Li Fei was both anxious and furious. The slowly dripping blood covered his eyes, forcing him to frantically wipe them with his hands. This wiping aggravated the deep scratches on his wrists from the cat, causing him to grimace and curse in pain.

Lin Ge didn't get too close, but he didn't stray too far either, always staying close behind Li Fei.

A cornered beast will fight back, which is the most troublesome thing. The sound of sirens means that reinforcements have arrived. He only needs to keep an eye on Li Fei and not let him disappear. Sooner or later, this guy will become a caged bird with no way to escape.

To Lin Ge's surprise, Li Fei ran back to a familiar place, near the cage where the two lynx cubs and the magical leopard were.

The chaotic scene made the wild animals in the zoo tremble and hide inside, afraid to come out. Only two audacious lynx cubs smelled Lingo's scent and still lingered by the wire fence, calling out. The timid one even tried to pull at the wire like the leopard teacher had taught him, hoping to come out and join the fun.

"Hey you, why aren't you scared now?"

When Lin Ge passed by, he glared at the little coward, which made the guy obediently and timidly climb down again.

It didn't know what had happened, but seeing its godfather's anxious and angry look, it quickly hid back in the grass, only showing its buttocks and a short tail.

Suddenly, Lin Ge realized that the leopard had disappeared again.

There wasn't time to search carefully; he just sensed that the guy seemed to be hiding in an unbelievable place. Yes, right in front of Li Fei.

"Damn it, if I don't kill this cat, it looks like I'm not going to escape!"

Li Fei couldn't find anyone to take hostage, and he was extremely anxious and annoyed. He was just about to turn around and kill the cat first when he suddenly sensed a strange, foul smell nearby.

This indescribable feeling was quite terrifying, causing Li Fei to slowly stop in his tracks.

Gripping his pistol with both hands, Li Fei warily scanned his surroundings. He suspected the police had already arrived and were waiting for him to walk right into their trap. Now that he only had one bullet left, he had to aim carefully before using it and teach the police a lesson.

"Uh……"

Lin Ge also stopped, slightly out of breath, and stared wide-eyed at a large cat head that slowly appeared behind Li Fei.

He was a wicked creature whose face seemed to always be smiling, even when hunting. He had absolutely no fear of humans; to him, a man who reeked of blood was merely an amusing toy.

Under Ling Ge's silent gaze, a leopard's tail fell from the tree above Li Fei's head, swaying back and forth beside the back of Li Fei's head, while its eyes were fixed on the strange object in Li Fei's hand that seemed to pose a threat to it.

"what!"

Feeling something bump against the back of his head, Li Fei quickly turned around. But behind him was just a barbed wire fence with nothing in it, and inside was only weeds. Surely the police wouldn't dare to be in a wild animal cage, would they?

Wiping the blood and sweat from his forehead, Li Fei turned around again.

He spotted the cat behind a tree trunk a dozen meters away around the corner, but Li Fei wasn't confident he could hit such a small target.

As a wanted criminal, Li Fei lacked the ability to go abroad to practice shooting or find a place in China where he could familiarize himself with firearms. He usually used the small firecracker to scare people; this was the first time he was actually using it, just in case.

But to everyone's surprise, on its first use, six bullets only killed one person, and this guy's usefulness was about to come to an end.

For some reason, Li Fei felt a slight itch on his head. He was startled, scared, and nervous. He felt that everything looked wrong to him and began to regret his impulsive actions that day.

He even began to regret taking the medication that morning; although it felt good, it would eventually affect his nerves.

"Suck it!"

"Ok?"

Li Fei thought he heard a licking sound, but still found nothing.

But in Lin Ge's view, after the playful leopard retracted its tail, it slowly brought its large head close to the top of Li Fei's head. It licked its tongue, and even a drop of saliva fell onto Li Fei's head.

The drop of unidentified liquid finally made Li Fei's body stiffen abruptly. The fishy smell seemed to bring him back to his senses, and he slowly raised his head with wide eyes.

What came into view was a huge leopard's head.

"Lie..."

Before Li Fei could cry out, the leopard suddenly howled and pounced, its sharp claws and heavy body slamming Li Fei to the ground.

Taking this opportunity, Lin Ge also rushed over quickly and, working perfectly with Leopard, knocked the pistol out of Li Fei's dizzy hands.

'Boom! '

That was the sound of Li Fei's head hitting the ground.

'Boom! '

That was the sound of a pistol accidentally firing, the bullet grazing past the leopard's side.

The playful and cunning leopard never expected this accident. Its fur bristled and it jumped up in fright.

It wasn't truly as intelligent as a human, and the unusual situation terrified it. So, ignoring its prey on the ground, it scurried up the tree with its tail between its legs as if fleeing, skillfully squeezing into its den through the gaps in the cage for what seemed like the umpteenth time.

The leopard vanished in the blink of an eye, leaving only a dazed Li Fei lying on the ground, with a cat guarding the pistol and watching him intently.

"it's here!"

Guided by the gunfire, Nie Guoqiang, Zhu Jun, and others rushed over quickly. Also present were Zhang Hao, the captain of the special police detachment whom Lin Ge had met once before, and several fully armed special police officers.

Several people rushed over nervously and excitedly, but stopped in surprise just as they were about to get close.

In everyone's sight, there was only a man lying on the ground, trembling like he was having an epileptic seizure, and a cat standing calmly beside him, guarding a pistol without moving.

All the previous terror and shootings seemed like a joke at this scene. The criminal who posed a huge threat to innocent people with a gun was inexplicably taken care of by a cat, without giving the SWAT team a chance to act.

"Are you... kidding?"

Zhu Jun rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

But apart from the cat, there really wasn't any other living creature there. The little lynx in the cage next to it looked familiar, but could that thing possibly walk through the cage to help Mimi?
Absolutely impossible, right?

"Are you... really a cat?"

Zhu Jun gritted his teeth.
