Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 474 Cat and Dog War (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

However, to Li Siyu's surprise, the large group of cats parading around did not cause much of a stir online.

Or rather, the entire public opinion environment in Chu City is now completely dominated by the upcoming 17th Military World Games.

Outstanding athletes from military regions across the country, young volunteers from major universities in Chu City, and various cultural and sports activities and initiatives promoting civility and courtesy in preparation for the Military World Games are the main themes currently being discussed in Chu City, both officially and online.

Chinese people have a peculiar habit: to present their best side to outsiders. Therefore, the entire city of Chu is currently engaged in a lively campaign promoting civility and hygiene, and the cats in the online short videos are quickly submerged in the Military World Games-themed activities. Most of the conversations are about cheering on the domestic athletes and speculating about why the United States didn't send any athletes. Compared to these topics, what are cats?

"What are cats? They're my ancestors!"

Gu Zewei felt like he had lost a lot of hair, mainly because these cats were just too much trouble!

There's absolutely no discipline!

Not well-behaved at all!
They absolutely refuse to listen!
And they're everywhere!
Looking at the wild cats that roamed the training grounds, even using the three dilapidated houses that hadn't been demolished yet as resting places, climbing mountains and burrowing into the ground without fear of people, Gu Zewei felt like he wanted to die.

He never imagined that the cat named Mimi would suddenly cause such a huge commotion. Looking around, the entire police dog training base was completely overrun by cats. Not only the training grounds, but even the windows of the office building were adorned with cats. Luckily, he had sent all the police dogs back to their kennels beforehand; otherwise, who knows what kind of chaos these cats and dogs could have caused!

But as the cats became increasingly arrogant and encroached on their territory, the dogs in the kennel also began to stir. They barked loudly at the kennel door, a far cry from their usual listless and lethargic demeanor during training. They seemed to be complaining about how unfair it was for Gu Zewei to keep them locked up compared to the cats roaming freely. Led by a few of the more aggressive police dogs, these guys were also itching to rebel.

However, cats are not easy to bully, and the barking of these dogs attracted dozens of cats to the kennel door.

The large dogs that used to frighten them and even make them run away with their tails between their legs now had nothing to fear with the cat king backing them up. These cats stared at the kennel door and growled loudly, and some even dared to break in.

This arrogant attitude made the dogs in the kennel even angrier and more dissatisfied. They barked more and more frantically, and some even rammed their cages, trying to break free.

"If I let you all come out here, I'd die of a sudden right here today! Shut up!"

Gu Zewei roared at the kennel, then sighed helplessly and looked at his subordinates: "Have you prepared cat food and water for these little devils? These cats are guests of our police dog training base, after all. Don't neglect them and make us a laughing stock."

"This is considered a guest? Sigh! But we've already bought all the cat food from all the pet stores around here. It's just that we don't have enough bowls and such. Old Zhang absolutely refuses to let us give up the police dogs' food bowls for the cats."

The base staff shook their heads and smiled wryly.

He was a veteran at the police dog training base, but after working there for so long, this was the first time he'd ever seen so many cats. He never imagined he'd one day be serving this bunch of bastards instead of police dogs.

Normally, these rascals would have been chased away by him with a broom long ago. Or rather, normally, these cats wouldn't even dare to venture into the police dogs' territory.

But who could have imagined that... a cat king had come to Chu City today?

Heaven knows how that cat named Mimi managed to make so many cats obedient and compliant. And now that she's gone, all the cats have reverted to their old ways, each one arrogant, troublesome, and causing chaos everywhere.

Gu Zewei shooed away a bold cat that approached him, then looked helplessly at the cats swarming all over the hillside, listening to the constant barking and howling of cats and dogs. He sighed and said, "Old Zhang is just adding to my troubles at a time like this! Oh well! Let him be obsessed with dogs if he wants, I'll ignore him! Go find Old Xu in the kitchen and get a few dozen of his cooking plates. Then put those plates and cat food in the yard to attract these cats and stop them from running around."

"Huh? That's what we usually eat?"

The staff stared blankly at Gu Zewei. Could they still use these plates after the cat had licked them?

"Stop nagging! Don't think I don't know you guys are always feeding the dogs with plates on your hands!"

Gu Zewei glared at the man and waved him away.

The staff at the police dog training base, having spent so much time with the dogs, must have grown to love them. It's understandable that they're upset that cats have taken over the police dogs' territory.

"But... let's be patient. Who told these cats to have such a good leader? With that cat king around, and this whole mess, who would dare to slight these little rascals? Dogs rely on their master's power, cats rely on their own power!"

Gu Zewei laughed at himself as he spoke, then shook his head and turned to leave.

He still has a ton of things to do!
Meanwhile, inside the conference room, the people listening to the commotion outside couldn't help but exchange amused glances. Looking at the cat perched at the back of the table, even the four senior experts shook their heads and laughed.

"This is something I've never seen before in my life!"

Li Shousheng shook his head and smiled, his eyes filled with astonishment as he looked at Lin Ge. As a professional biological researcher, he couldn't understand how this cat could lead and gather its pack. This was something that couldn't be explained by current science, nor did it conform to the laws of nature or the natural abilities of living beings. Even using the least supported theories of social interaction within biological groups, it was impossible to explain why this cat could become the king of cats.

It was neither the strongest of all the cats, nor the most beautiful of the male cats, nor the leader of the original resident cat population in Chu City. As an outsider cat, it conquered all the stray cats in Chu City in less than ten hours, a fact that cannot be explained by scientific theory.

Li Shousheng even had the urge to borrow the cat to study it properly, but unfortunately there were more important things he needed its help with right now, so he had to put that thought aside for the time being.

"Holy crap, there's murderous intent!"

Lin Ge suddenly felt a chill, and looking around, he didn't see anything unusual. The only thing that stood out were the two smiling old men sitting opposite him, who seemed very kind. One of them nodded at him, seemingly extending goodwill as well.

"Yes, it's a good cat."

When Li Shousheng saw Lin Ge looking over, he smiled with even greater appreciation.

"Ha ha……"

Yang Xiaotong watched Lin Ge and Li Shousheng's interaction with a smile. How could she not know what the old man was thinking? But she hadn't even succeeded in this matter yet, so how could she let the one from Chu City get away with it first?

Regarding Mimi's abnormality, she had actually studied it for some time. She had collected samples of Mimi's fur, nails, and even blood. Unfortunately, after a period of research, she hadn't come to any conclusions. Apart from being stronger and healthier than ordinary cats, and having more active cells, Mimi was otherwise no different from a normal cat. Unless further detailed autopsies were performed, this situation could only be attributed to divine intervention.

Of course, dissecting the cat was out of the question, not to mention that I had a good feeling about it. Even if I didn't like it, I still had to consider Zhang Yong and Zhang Yining's feelings, as well as the thoughts of those two bastards, Nie Guoqiang and Jiang Yan.

Thinking of Jiang Yan, Yang Xiaotong secretly curled her lip. Once this Tiger virus incident is over, she should be able to surpass Jiang Yan in terms of honors; let's see if she still dares to be arrogant in front of her!
"Ahem! Mimi, right? Thank you for your hard work."

Mao Qixian smiled at Lin Ge, sizing him up as he said, "If you can command these cats to obey and help carry out the mission, then we'll be even more confident in resolving this incident smoothly. I believe no one would have guessed that these wild cats, which are everywhere, would be our tool for targeting suspects. In addition, cats are immune to the Tiger virus, so many previously unthinkable ideas can be implemented. You've made another great contribution."

“But… can an untrained cat really complete the mission? I don’t question Mimi, because she’s a police cat and has already been tested and trusted. But what about ordinary stray cats? Do they know what they’re supposed to do?” A leader from a police dog training base frowned and questioned.

If any stray cat can complete this mission, then wouldn't all the hard work we put into training police dogs and holding this police dog competition to select the best police dogs be a complete joke and utterly meaningless?

"Our country has always had the fine tradition of mobilizing the masses to unite and fight collectively. Police dogs have their duties, and cats have theirs; there is no conflict between them. Many hands make light work, and having more police dogs and cats is a good thing."

Upon hearing the news, Wei Zhengxun rushed over and casually refuted the man's statement.

He then looked at Lin Ge and said seriously, "Mimi, the data from Zhang City proves that you can lead the cat group and let them know what to do. Since you have taken the initiative to gather so many cats this time, I believe you have your own ideas. But here I want to make a request. This time there are many foreign tourists, contestants and staff coming to Chu City. Your actions must be reasonable and compliant. You cannot act recklessly and tarnish the reputation of Chu City and the country."

"Ouch!"

Lin Ge glared at Wei Zhengxun unhappily. Was he really such an unreliable cat?

"Hehe...this cat can understand human speech!"

Mao Qixian pointed at Lin Ge and laughed again, then turned to look at Li Shousheng and said, "Old Li, are you itching to get your hands on it? It's a pity you can't touch this cat, otherwise Li Dehuai and the Old Rascal will both be furious."

"Why would I be afraid of that old madman?"

Li Shousheng glanced at Yang Xiaotong with a pursed lip.

As for Li Dehuai, the highest-ranking official in Chu Province in charge of this campaign, Li Shousheng didn't say much. He and Li Dehuai were from the same clan, and he knew that the old man's temper was unbearable for most people, so he shook his head and gave up completely.

Lin Ge felt the chill surrounding him completely disappear, and finally realized that this old man surnamed Li was a smiling tiger, not someone to be trifled with. Hiss… what was this guy thinking just now? He just introduced himself as…

Lin Ge suddenly remembered Li Shousheng's identity and was immediately startled, gasping for breath.

He felt a pang of unease, a reluctance to remain in the meeting room. But regardless of how playful these elderly men were, their identities, achievements, and contributions to the country deserved Lin Ge's utmost respect. Especially this Mr. Mao Qixian—who would believe he was actually a national-level figure of renown? Just now, Li Shousheng had jokingly mentioned that he had examined the health of leaders from all levels of government; such an honor, if not unique, was certainly extremely rare.

Faced with such an important figure, Lin Ge didn't dare to act recklessly for a moment.

Sitting in the meeting room was a bit boring, mainly because the things everyone was discussing had nothing to do with his cat; they were all matters of great importance, such as how to handle unexpected situations. They considered all possibilities before even calculating victory, pushing the discussion to its limits. Mao Qixian even joked that this Tiger virus outbreak was nothing compared to the major public health event a few years ago, acting as a stabilizing force that reassured everyone considerably.

Just as Lin Ge was extremely bored and even regretful that Li Siyu hadn't come in to groom him, there was a knock on the door outside the meeting room.

After opening the door, Gu Zewei walked in with an embarrassed look on his face. He turned around, saluted everyone, and then looked at Lin Ge and said, "I'm sorry, leaders, there's been a little trouble outside. The cat that Mimi brought back is fighting with one of our police dogs. The police dog named An'an, who came from Zhangzhou, somehow managed to open its cage door and run out, even letting all the other police dogs out of their cages. Right now, the cat and the dog are facing off and fighting at the kennel entrance. We really need Mimi to go over and help calm them down."

"..."

Upon hearing this news, everyone fell silent.

Especially when they heard that the dog that opened the cage was a police dog from Zhangzhou, everyone couldn't help but look at Lin Ge and then at Yang Xiaotong.

Are all the police cats and dogs from Zhangzhou City this unique?
"Hey, are they fighting amongst themselves?"

After hearing Gu Zewei's words, Lin Ge quickly stood up as well. These cats and dogs were all his underlings; what kind of trouble was this infighting? Wouldn't it be better if they all obediently cooperated with each other? Did they have to make him lose face in front of so many people?

Huffing and puffing, Lin Ge jumped off his chair, turned around, and ran out of the conference room.

"Shall we go and have a look too?"

Mao Qixian, with his childlike personality, was surprisingly interested in watching the spectacle. Furthermore, the discussions surrounding the Tiger virus campaign were nearing their end, and the meetings were repetitive and repetitive, so he was the first to stand up.

Li Shousheng had been extremely curious about Lin Ge from beginning to end, and now he wanted to see exactly what this cat was capable of. So as soon as Mao Qixian got up, he followed him outside.

The others had no choice but to follow one by one.

As we approached the kennels, the noise of cats and dogs was indeed ear-splitting. And for some reason, the large group of cats that had been roaming freely just moments before had all gathered at the kennel entrance. A huge, chaotic mass of dark, mismatched colors, under the bright lights above the kennel entrance, made their round, gleaming pupils appear eerily bright, almost shimmering, which looked rather intimidating.

The main thing is that when the cats noticed the movement of people walking, a large group of cats with hundreds of eyes suddenly looked over, which really made people's hearts skip a beat.

Then, opposite the cats, at the kennel entrance, a dozen police dogs stood firmly blocking the gate, each poised to pounce and confront the cats. Even though their numbers were pitifully small compared to the cats, these dogs were all elite police dogs, their courage and boldness second to none. They bared their teeth and growled, their fierce eyes and menacing faces causing several timid cats to tremble and burrow under their companions.

However, the leaders of the cat pack were the bosses of various stray cat gathering spots in Chu City. Although they submitted to Lin Ge, they had also been through many trials in Chu City. There were many dog ​​owners in Chu City, and fights between cats and dogs were not uncommon. Therefore, although these dogs seemed more powerful and more frightening to the cats, these leader cats stood firmly at the forefront of the group, even hissing and poised to pounce.

When Lin Ge rushed over, this was the scene he saw.

But to his surprise, he didn't see the culprit An'an, nor Beibei. He only heard clattering sounds from the kennel and the footsteps of police dogs running around, as if some dogs were doing something naughty inside.

Sure enough, just a few seconds later, another police dog, now free, joined the group. It even eagerly climbed onto its companion's body to squeeze out, seemingly really wanting to participate in this fun activity.

"I knew it! An'an will never behave herself!"

Lin Ge sighed, deeply worried that An An and Bei Bei would release all the police dogs. Besides the hundred-odd elite police dogs, the entire police dog training base housed another hundred or two dogs in training, pregnant bitches, and puppies in development. If An An were to release all the dogs, even Lin Ge wasn't sure if he could control the situation.

With a sigh, Lingo walked towards the kennel door.

"Wang!"

It was the first to spot Lin Ge's tofu, the first to change its tone to greet Lin Ge, and its tail wagged excitedly.

As soon as it spoke, the other police dogs quickly changed their mood, excitedly telling Lin Ge about their grievances, and their tails slapped hard against the faces of the police dogs behind them.

Upon seeing Lin Ge approach, the cats instantly fell silent. Except for one slow-witted individual who was still hiding among the cats, meowing and trying to intimidate them, the others obediently stopped and watched Lin Ge walk towards the police dogs.
