Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 485 Ringo's Nemesis

"That's fucking disgusting!"

A small vacuum-sealed plastic bag, stained with slime and some brown marks, was placed in a sealed container, causing everyone who saw it to frown.

No one expected the enemy to resort to such methods, actually using the same method as smuggling drugs through human bodies, attempting to bring something that looked like a fruit pit into Chu City.

Because it was pre-packaged in a vacuum, it didn't release any scent, almost completely blocking Lin Ge's senses. If this method hadn't been so torturous for the wearer, and if the man called 'A-Kun' hadn't been so unprofessional, they might have actually succeeded. In any case, everyone in the conference room was frowning, extremely worried that the enemy would continue using this method.

Why is the method of concealing drugs in the human body becoming increasingly rampant and difficult to eradicate in the hands of drug traffickers? Because this method has a high probability of evading inspection personnel and even equipment scans, and staff are often constrained by unpleasant reasons such as human rights.

A pregnant woman trafficking drugs, another concealing drugs inside her body—these are two methods most abhorred by anti-drug police and the military in China. They completely disregard human life and moral values, severely limiting the righteous party who cannot be as shameless as drug traffickers. Whenever such cases arise, anti-drug personnel are always forced into a passive position. If the perpetrator is male, it's manageable, but if it's female… the difficulty at least doubles.

And now... it's being used for even more sinister terrorist attacks.

"Don't worry too much. The appearance of this kind of thing actually shows that the enemy has run out of tricks and knows that conventional methods cannot break through our blockade! Moreover, once this method is exposed, as long as we strengthen our inspections in this area, and as long as we continue to hold out for a few more days, the enemy will have no choice but to give up. This is good news! To be honest, in my opinion, this is a sign that the enemy is helpless against our defensive lines!"

On the large screen in the conference room, the old leader's view was relatively optimistic. Or rather, with the official conclusion of the Military Games, and the terrorists' final attempt failing, they would inevitably have to abandon their spying on Chu City.

After a pause, the old leader continued, "There's another point. This time, the infected object is different from the man-made ones we've seen before. It's a real fruit pit, right? I see there are still traces of it not being completely eaten. This kind of thing couldn't be a conventional method of infection. The enemy bringing this thing from Guangzhou Port into Chu City was actually a desperate choice. I suspect they've run out of things to create infections, which is why they can only use this as an offensive weapon. Oh, by the way, experts Li Shousheng and Yang Xiaotong have a different assessment of this fruit pit, and they're rushing to your location. Wei Zhengxun, you'll receive them later and ensure their safety."

Wei Zhengxun hesitated for a moment, then quickly advised, "Sir, it's too dangerous here. Is it really necessary for the experts to come all the way here? I'll send someone to deliver this sample to them right away!"

"Hehe... What's the danger? Everyone is working hard to protect Chu City. No one is special."

The old leader waved his hand, his expression serious, and said, "Expert Li has a suspicion about this fruit pit. He thinks we might have obtained a raw sample of the Tiger virus from terrorists! Or perhaps the terrorists obtained a weakened and mutated sample of the Tiger virus from Professor Daniel, which might not be a sample but a live, infected animal. He made this judgment based on the gnaw marks on the pit; it's a pit that an animal has eaten, not human food scraps. If that's the case, then through this pit and the viral data on it, we might make some important discoveries!"

"An animal? The so-called weakened and mutated viral sample is actually an animal infected with the tiger virus?"

Wei Zhengxun was dumbfounded.

"So you should do a good job of receiving them and unconditionally cooperate with all the requests of the two experts. If we can really determine what kind of animal the infected person is and what the strength of this initially weakened virus is, we might be able to find a way to overcome the Tiger virus! This is a very important matter, and it may even allow us to find a solution to the Tiger virus before the United States, thus gaining an advantage internationally!"

"I see! If we are the first to obtain a treatment or even an immune response to the Tiger virus, we might actually be able to exchange it for many important things on the international stage!"

Wei Zhengxun understood his old leader's meaning and realized the importance of this matter. If the threat of the Tiger virus to the world could truly be mitigated, and the hardships endured in Chu City during this period could be transformed into a political victory or even a major change in military and economic aspects, then this matter truly required 100% dedication and effort. This was no longer a simple defensive battle; it might even become a glimmer of hope for the nation to advance further on the international stage!

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Wei Zhengxun saluted without hesitation, immediately placing the importance of this fruit pit above all else.

"In the next few days, we cannot let our guard down when it comes to airport security! Until the experts come up with a solution and a way to overcome this problem, I demand that you stay at Tianchi Airport and not let a single virus enter the city, even if it means your death!"

"Yes!"

After hanging up the video call, Wei Zhengxun looked around at the people around him. There were city leaders, airport officials, airport police chiefs, armed police officers, and representatives of the supporting police.

"The leader has made his point very clearly. Does anyone have anything to add?"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Then let's work harder! If this fruit pit we captured really represents hope, then we might have saved the whole world! Comrades, this is a great honor, and we absolutely cannot tarnish your hard work before this happens!"

"Yes!"

"Disband!"

The meeting ended abruptly, and the group returned to their respective posts, continuing to stand firm against the onslaught of the waves, like reefs.

Soon, Li Shousheng and Yang Xiaotong arrived at the airport in a private car. The various instruments inside the car surprised Wei Zhengxun, who was waiting at the entrance. After receiving the fruit pit sample, Li Shousheng began studying it without saying a word, while Yang Xiaotong greeted Wei Zhengxun and went inside the airport.

At the service counter that had witnessed the incident and suffered greatly at the hands of the cat, Yang Xiaotong saw Lin Ge. But before she could get close, two armed police officers stopped her.

"Sister Yang!"

Sun Chang looked at Yang Xiaotong, who was wearing a sterile cap, a mask, and a white coat, and it took her a long time to recognize her.

Lin Ge recognized Yang Xiaotong even before she arrived, but this woman always pulled some tricks that annoyed him whenever they met, so he glared at her and then turned his attention back to the exit.

And for some reason, his tail was hurting terribly right now, with waves of stinging pain seeping into his body, making Lin Ge feel rather uneasy.

"It's Sun Chang. Are you the one protecting Mimi here?"

Yang Xiaotong showed her identification to the armed police officer before she was allowed to approach. She greeted Sun Chang first, then smiled at Lin Ge and said, "Little kitty, why are you ignoring me? I finally managed to find a chance to see you, and this is your attitude?"

"Thank you so much!"

Lin Ge turned around, opened his mouth wide, and silently yawned, which was his way of greeting Yang Xiaotong.

"Your situation is rather bad!"

Looking at Lin Ge's dry fur, his somewhat dull eyes, and the stiffness in his movements, Yang Xiaotong was stunned. Although she knew that Mimi had indeed suffered a lot over the past ten days, she never imagined that Mimi would be so weak. The cat had completely lost its usual energetic and mischievous nature; it looked listless and even pitiful.

Yang Xiaotong stopped joking and silently stepped forward, quietly touching Lin Ge's body to check his condition.

The stiff muscles, the rough fur that still felt on her hands even with gloves on, and the weaker breathing than a normal cat all made Yang Xiaotong feel uneasy. When she touched Lin Ge's tail and he quickly pulled it back and glared at her, Yang Xiaotong's heart skipped a beat.

She swore that what she had just touched was not an illusion; Mimi's tail had swollen up quite a bit!
"Ow!"

Lin Ge glared at Yang Xiaotong, not allowing her to reveal the condition of his tail. This was the most critical moment in dealing with the enemy's desperate struggle. Besides himself, no one else, including the police dogs, could guarantee the detection of drugs concealed in the body. Lin Ge couldn't leave the front lines now, no matter what. His tail was just swollen; it wasn't a big deal! He could just rest for a few days after the incident; he definitely couldn't leave now!

"You guy..."

Yang Xiaotong sighed, never expecting a cat to have done something like this. She had heard while she was anxiously working in the research lab that the cat was truly the one who had completely prevented the Tiger virus from invading the area.

"Mimi, how long has it been since you had a proper rest?"

"None of your business!" Lin Ge glared at her irritably. Was this the time to talk about this? What good would it do besides adding to the trouble?
"Since arriving at this post, Mimi hasn't had a single day off! Since the start of the pandemic, Mimi hasn't slept for even a single night longer than two hours! For the past ten days or so, apart from going to the disinfection room for full-body disinfection, Mimi hasn't left this service counter from beginning to end! Sister Yang, Mimi has truly been amazing this time! If it weren't for it setting such a good example for everyone, perhaps many people..."

Sun Chang said with concern, but Yang Xiaotong stopped her before she could finish. No need for further words; in short, this cat really had a tough time this time.

"What an amazing guy! Sun Chang, could you go outside and get me a bottle of safflower oil from the car?"

Yang Xiaotong's words startled Sun Chang, and her expression changed drastically upon realizing what she had said. She couldn't help but look at Lin Ge's tail dangling on the service counter, and the memory of Mimi being dragged up and beaten by that man that day flashed through her mind.

With a sinking feeling in his heart, Sun Chang gritted his teeth and ran outside as fast as he could.

The two armed police officers who heard this exchanged glances, and couldn't help but look at the cat lying on the service counter with admiration.

Imagine one of them reporting the message over the walkie-talkie, while the other takes a deep breath to heighten their vigilance. This cat has already gone to such lengths for Chu City; how can we afford to be complacent?
Yang Xiaotong took off her gloves and touched Lin Ge's tail again. Lin Ge knew his secret had been discovered, so he turned his back to Yang Xiaotong and ignored her, letting her fingers gently explore the joints of his tailbone.

When the swollen area was touched, Lin Ge twitched in pain. But he glared and forced himself to endure it, staring out the window at the bright blue sky and daylight as if nothing had happened.

"Tsk! The clouds can be a pale blue, that's incredible. Could it be because of the frequent planes flying by? Hmm... or perhaps to scare away birds at high altitudes? I might have to look into that sometime... Hiss..."

Lin Ge shuddered in pain again, his eyes widening, and he instantly forgot what he had been thinking about.

"Sister Yang!"

Sun Chang rushed back, clutching a bottle of safflower oil in his hand. Normally, this stuff shouldn't be brought into the lobby, but Sun Chang only said that Mimi needed it, and the police at the door immediately let him through.

"Mimi, the smell is a bit unpleasant, and it hurts a little, but bear with it. Judging from the current situation, the problem isn't too serious. Well, at least there's no fracture, so you won't need tail amputation surgery. Be thankful."

While saying things that would anger Lin Ge, Yang Xiaotong applied safflower oil to her palms and rubbed them together. After her hands were warm, she placed them on Lin Ge's tail and gently stroked it.

Within two seconds, her sticky, oily hands were covered in cat hair. Much of the cat hair peeked out from between her fingers, while even more rolled into thick, dark strands as she moved her hands, forcing Yang Xiaotong to stop what she was doing.

"Don't look at me! It's not like I want to shed fur! Besides, I'm injured there, so shedding fur is normal, isn't it?"

Lin Ge turned his head away awkwardly.

Yang Xiaotong sighed and turned to Sun Chang with a blank expression: "Sun Chang, go get another pair of scissors from the car. Oh, by the way, there seems to be a razor in the glove compartment, still unopened. Could you get it for me and install it?"

"Oh!"

Sun Chang nodded blankly, then turned and ran out again.

"Don't go, you idiot! Didn't you hear that woman wants to shave my pubic hair? Hey!"

Lin Ge was terrified and quickly turned around, only to be grabbed by the neck and slammed against the service counter by Yang Xiaotong without any politeness. The woman's hands were already sticky and oily, with a particularly pungent smell, and now that they were close to Lin Ge's nose, the stench almost made him faint.

To be honest, the smell of safflower oil is really too strong for cats! Lin Ge even felt like he couldn't breathe, but Yang Xiaotong was so imposing that he was afraid to resist.

He watched helplessly as Sun Chang ran towards him, panting heavily, holding scissors in one hand and a manual razor in the other. The noise from Sun Chang's movements even drew the attention of several leaders, who rushed over, their faces filled with worry.

"Damn it, the society is dead!"

Lin Ge helplessly turned his head towards the exit, pretending there was no one behind him. But when the cold scissors touched his tail, he couldn't help but shiver, and Yang Xiaotong patted his head to make him behave.

Soon, Yang Xiaotong had cleanly trimmed all the cat fur, down to about the length of a palm from the tip of the tail. She even carefully shaved off the last stubble with a razor.

So Lingo's tail quickly became a bare stick, with only the tip covered in down, resembling a small hammer.

Lin Ge glanced back and couldn't bear to look at it, so he simply closed his eyes and asked Yang Xiaotong to shave off the tip of the tail as well, so that at least the whole thing would look more pleasing to the eye.

"Hey!"

With a deep sigh, Lin Ge felt that he, this anti-epidemic hero, was completely finished this time. Such a handsome cat, and its tail has turned into a bald stick?

That awful Yang Xiaotong!

"hiss……"

The group of people who came over to watch Yang Xiaotong's actions gasped in distress when they saw the large red and swollen patch after the cat's fur was shaved, and even the tail was thicker than the other sides.

This cat... its tail is injured like this and it doesn't make a sound. It's so strong and brave!
No one knew what to say. The perseverance and sense of responsibility shown by this cat made many people feel ashamed and also made everyone look at it with new respect.

"Fortunately, the bones are not broken, it's just an external injury."

After checking the injured area, Yang Xiaotong breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that the cat was pretending to be dead and wouldn't look this way, she didn't say anything more. She applied safflower oil to her hands again and gently rubbed it on the wound. After applying it, seeing that the cat still dared to remain silent, she increased the pressure slightly and slowly massaged it to promote blood circulation and remove bruising.

This caused Lin Ge to tremble in pain. He turned around and glared fiercely at Yang Xiaotong, ready to pounce without saying a word. But the woman only gave him a cold glare, and Lin Ge immediately backed down, obediently turning his head back.

The way the person and the cat were interacting made Sun Chang, who was initially very worried, cover his mouth and chuckle.

So it turns out Mimi does have a nemesis! I originally thought it was fearless in the police station and even the city bureau, but it seems there are capable people in this world who can subdue it.

And thankfully, Sister Yang came this time; otherwise, who knows how long that rascal Mimi would have kept it a secret. This fight against the epidemic can't be accomplished in just a day or two; if it drags on, who knows if Mimi's tail will get even more badly injured.

Thinking about it this way, Sun Chang felt extremely fortunate.

Sometime later, a group of police dogs who had finished their patrol also gathered around. They squatted down and looked up at their leader, who was lying on the service counter, and could only whimper with worry.

"Shut up, get back to work!"

Lin Ge glared at them with annoyance, then Yang Xiaotong slapped him on the head because he was swaying.
