Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 473 The Elvis Presley Arrives in His Own Chu City
The Chu City Police Dog Training Base, which should have returned to normal after the police dog competition, still has a large number of police dogs undergoing rigorous intensive training.

The training had been going on for over a week, with the intensity and duration of the training sessions causing the police dogs to complain incessantly. However, the handlers, who usually would obediently back down with just a little coaxing or a glare, were surprisingly resolute this time.

No matter how much they whine or throw tantrums, the police dogs can't get even a little extra rest. Sometimes, if they try to slack off even slightly, those jerk handlers actually dare to kick their butts?

This would have been almost impossible in the past. Which trainer would have dared to turn against their dog master?

Even if they were to fall out with their dog, they would rush to treat the dog like royalty if it sneezed even slightly.

And now… Andy, the police dog being dragged along the ground by its handler on its leash, was utterly bewildered. Why had this guy suddenly become so unfamiliar? Before, if its training sessions went on for even a little while, this guy would proactively arrange rest, afraid that it would get tired. But now… it felt like its four legs weren't even its own anymore, and that bastard was still dragging it towards the training ground.

What the hell is going on here?
Andy couldn't understand it at all.

But obedience had become a habit. After being dragged a few steps by its trainer Zhang Yan, it obediently got up on its own, whimpering pitifully, but still followed along to continue training.

Not only Andy and Zhang Yan, but all the police officers and their police dogs in the entire training ground were making the most of their time to conduct high-intensity and high-requirement search and olfactory training.

From the moment they heard that unbelievable news at the meeting that day, everyone felt a sense of urgency. Before them lay a massive battle that threatened the entire city of Chu, even the entire nation, and as police officers, protecting the people and the country was their inescapable duty. No one present would allow themselves to hold their comrades back in this battle; no one wanted to cause any disaster or become a sinner against the country and the people because of their own accident or mistake. Therefore, even if they felt sorry for their dog, they hardened their hearts, hoping that the dog could improve its abilities even just a little bit more, hoping to contribute all of their strength, squeezing out every last drop of power.

"Andy, good luck! When we get home after this mission, I'll make you your favorite honey-glazed chicken drumsticks!"

Zhang Yan gently patted Andy's back, causing the husky to reflexively raise its tail. Upon hearing the words "honey-glazed chicken leg," its mouth rapidly salivated, and its eyes seemed to blaze with desire.

You glutton!

Zhang Yan shook his head, feeling both amused and exasperated, but also relieved that he still had a specialty dish to cook, and that Andy could be won over with food.

Look at that trainer from southern Xinjiang over there; his dog is throwing a tantrum! That Tibetan Mastiff somehow managed to take off one of the trainer's shoes and is now carrying it around the area.

Heaven knows how smelly the shoes must be after such intense training. The Tibetan mastiff ran while sneezing and sneezing, but it refused to take the smelly shoe out of its mouth no matter what.

Its trainer, after chasing it on one foot for a long time, finally got angry, cursed, and simply started running on the sand in his socks.

The interaction between the person and the dog made everyone around them chuckle. Looking at their own dogs, they suddenly seemed more pleasing to the eye. One thought was, "How about I make a deal with the dog: finish three more training sessions and I'll let you go eat?"

"Sold out!"

Completely unaware that it was getting dark after three training sessions, the dogs assumed their trainer had finally given in and excitedly barked.

"That's great! Seeing everyone working together like this, I'm really confident that this mission won't be difficult for us at all!"

Sun Chang wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked up and smiled at Yu Rong beside him.

"Hehe, it's a small problem that we can definitely overcome, nothing to worry about. In this world, there's nothing that our national police can't handle! As long as we work together and give it our all, nothing can stop us!"

Yu Rong responded with a smile and patted An An's head to encourage her.

Ever since An'an wore the big red flower around its neck, it has visibly become much more diligent than before. It seems to particularly enjoy the feeling of wearing the red flower, and every night it begs Yu Rong to put the flower on it. After getting the flower on, it can't wait to show it off to the police dog in the cage next to it. These past few days, several neighbors in the kennel have become stressed about the color red, ignoring An'an every night with their backs turned to it.

"This is wonderful! I've been a police dog handler for several years, and this is the first time I've seen so many police dogs training together in such a lively scene. Everyone is striving towards the same goal; it feels amazing!"

Yu Rong couldn't help but look around and sigh again.

Sun Chang smiled, thought for a moment, and said softly, "Then after this mission is over, you can apply to stay at the Chu City Police Dog Training Base! Didn't the leader of the training base already hint at it after the meeting that day? He's willing to arrange for interested comrades to settle in Chu City after this mission is completed. Judging from what he said, it seems he can also provide jobs for their families and make it easier for their children to go to school. Hmm... to be honest, Chu City is, after all, the provincial capital..."

"Don't test me! There's no way I'm coming here. Staying in Zhangzhou is just fine."

Yu Rong waved her hand, stopping Sun Chang from continuing.

As the two discussed this topic, they couldn't help but glance at Yuan Qu in the distance. He was quietly training Yingying alone, and based on Zhou Bo's conversation a few days prior, Yuan Qu seemed somewhat interested.

Of course, everyone has their own ambitions, and besides, water flows uphill, so working and living in Chu City is quite good. Putting aside other factors, at least the salary and career prospects are better; coming to Chu City is definitely much better than staying in Zhang City. For us dog handlers, the career advancement path is indeed very narrow. Zhang City doesn't have a professional police dog training base like Chu City, and unless Li Mei retires, there are no openings for new recruits in the city police bureau. We might be police dog handlers for our entire lives, so there's really not much hope for the future.

Therefore, if Yuan Qu really wants to stay in Chu City, Yu Rong and Sun Chang will only be happy for him.

"Let's all take a break!"

A middle-aged policeman named Gu Zewei shouted through a megaphone, drawing everyone's attention. He was an officer specially assigned by the police dog training base to assist in the training of the police dog unit, and was also responsible for handling various trivial matters during training and subsequent operations. As for the cat named Mimi, who was officially in charge of all the police dogs, after the introduction at the meeting and the understanding gained over the past few days, no one present raised any questions.

After all, for police officers, obeying orders is the most basic requirement. Even if that cat were truly capable, and even if it were completely clueless and only had a little animalistic charm, the police officers would still bring their police dogs and obey its commands.

As soon as Gu Zewei spoke, the more than 130 police dog handlers on site stopped training and led their police dogs to Gu Zewei.

"Everyone, please rest where you are. Next, the provincial and municipal infectious disease experts we have invited, along with several medical experts who are currently researching the tiger virus, will teach you some precautions for dealing with the tiger virus. Please give them a warm welcome!"

Gu Zewei smiled and turned to the side, inviting the five doctors in white coats standing not far behind him to come over.

Amidst the enthusiastic applause of the police officers, five doctors in white coats stepped forward, clapping and nodding in greeting. When Sun Chang saw that Yang Xiaotong was one of the five, she paused for a moment, but her applause quickly grew even more enthusiastic.

Yu Rong was somewhat taken aback, but after Sun Chang quietly introduced Yang Xiaotong's identity to her, her smile became genuine.

That's great! Another outstanding talent from Zhangzhou has joined this great battle.

Five doctors in white coats were present, four of whom were elderly, with Yang Xiaotong being the youngest. The elderly doctor at the front, whose hair was already gray, smiled and waved to the crowd after leading the way onto the stage.

"Hello comrades! I am Mao Qixian, a senior chief physician at the Provincial Military Region General Hospital..."

"Hello everyone, I am Li Shousheng, a professor of biology at Chushi University..."

"Hello comrades, I am..."

"Hey everyone, I am..."

"Everyone, my name is Yang Xiaotong, and I'm from Zhangzhou Central Hospital..." Yang Xiaotong, who was the last of the five people, didn't show any signs of being affected by the difference in their status. Although she knew that she was far behind the four experts in terms of both status and ability, she still behaved with propriety and grace.

Since she is qualified to stand here, she is confident that she will not lose to anyone and will definitely be able to contribute her own strength to this event!
Seeing Sun Chang applauding enthusiastically from the audience, Yang Xiaotong smiled faintly.

The four people ahead of her were all senior experts, so Yang Xiaotong volunteered to take on the initial introduction and explanation. Despite her youth, her understanding of the Tiger virus was remarkably detailed. Her words and various reminders made the trainers realize the importance of her explanations, and they quickly memorized all the key points. When someone raised a hand to ask a question, she patiently answered, doing her best to alleviate everyone's worries and doubts.

The four experts behind her looked at Yang Xiaotong's calm demeanor and exchanged glances, nodding slightly. She's a promising young woman; no wonder that old monster recommended her.

After Yang Xiaotong finished her explanation, the four experts also spoke, sharing all their knowledge about the Tiger virus and infectious diseases. Their authoritative explanations gradually dispelled the instructors' anxieties about the Tiger virus. With the assurances of these professionals, and with technical and confidence-boosting support, everyone gradually let go of their fear of the Tiger virus, and their fighting spirit soared.

After a two-and-a-half-hour training session, the two elderly experts gradually grew tired. However, they still mustered their energy to answer everyone's questions and patiently explained the various difficulties they might encounter.

Yang Xiaotong undoubtedly handled the vast majority of the responses, allowing the four experts a little more relief. After all, they are all truly accomplished experts, and any one of them falling ill would be a huge loss to the country. If this incident hadn't been so dangerous and serious, having four veteran experts give a lecture in the open air on a rough training field would have been an absolute fantasy.

Her patience has earned her the recognition and favor of many trainers.

As dusk approached, the emergency training finally came to an end. Gu Zewei invited the five hardworking experts to have a simple meal before they left, but Mao Qixian politely declined with a smile. They still had many important tasks to attend to, and socializing could wait until after this campaign was over. At the end, Mao Qixian reassured Gu Zewei, saying that the country had faced similar crises and conspiracies many times over the years, but thanks to the concerted efforts of the nation, the army, the police, and the people, they had all weathered them safely. Therefore, this time would be no different; the enemy's ambitions and conspiracies would be ruthlessly and thoroughly destroyed.

"I firmly believe this as well!"

Gu Zewei solemnly saluted Mao Qixian and the other four.

"so……"

"Meow~"

Just as Li Shousheng was about to say something more with a smile, a cat's meow suddenly interrupted him from behind. And after the first meow, a continuous stream of cat sounds came from outside the training base.

"Meow!"

"Meow~"

"Ow~"

The various meows startled everyone. Gu Zewei was even dumbfounded, not knowing what was happening. Only Yang Xiaotong, who guessed the truth, couldn't help but shake her head. She knew that the cat would not be content with a peaceful life.

The numerous meows not only attracted the group of people here, but also made the trainers who were about to take the dogs back to their kennels to rest in surprise stop in their tracks.

Although the police dogs at the scene didn't know what was happening, the barking that sounded like a feline army and the increasing amount of cat scent that gradually filled their nostrils excited them.

Is this an enemy?

Or is it a provocation?

"Wow~"

As the Tibetan Mastiff police dog from southern Xinjiang province howled first, the other police dogs began to bark. They didn't just bark; they even seemed eager to break free from their handlers' restraints, wanting to see what kind of fearless cat dared to act so disrespectfully in front of their "dog masters"!

The dog's barking stopped the cat's meowing outside for a few seconds.

They seemed taken aback for a moment, not expecting that some scoundrel would dare to provoke them. Then, looking at the lead cat, the pack joined in with their howls without backing down.

The barking of police dogs and the meowing of cats mingled together, neither willing to give in nor back down, leaving everyone on the scene dumbfounded.

Gu Zewei awkwardly apologized to the five experts in a low voice before hurriedly running towards the training base gate.

“Shall we go take a look? The cat leading the way should be Mimi, the police cat I mentioned to you. It’s quite the star police cat in Zhangzhou, and it has performed incredibly well in many cases.”

Yang Xiaotong smiled and extended an invitation to the four experts.

"That cat you mentioned last time?"

Li Shousheng stroked his beard, suddenly intrigued. As a biology professor, he had some eager ideas about this unusual creature that defied common sense.

"Is that Police Cat Mimi? It looks so lively, let's go take a look."

Mao Qixian also became interested.

"The Tiger virus is ineffective against felines, whether due to its innate nature or coincidence is unknown. However, Professor Daniel's naming of it 'Tiger' suggests there's some hidden secret involved. Special viruses don't appear out of thin air; they require a source, a mutation pathway, or a detailed process that can be deduced. The emergence of the first generation of the Tiger virus might have been a coincidence discovered by Professor Daniel, or it could have been cultivated in a secret way. In any case, it's a fact that cats are immune to the Tiger virus. Regarding human immunity to viruses, we might really need to consider felines..."

While Mao Qixian and the other four were discussing the Tiger virus, he followed Yang Xiaotong toward the gate.

As they reached the door, all five of them stopped in their tracks. Even the much older and more experienced Mao Qixian, and Li Shousheng, who had dissected all sorts of animals, were dumbfounded when they looked up at the scene before them.

OMG!

So many cats!

Several hundred cats were crammed together, densely packed at the entrance of the police dog training base. The meows that had been heard from inside were only from a portion of the cats. Most of the cats simply sat there quietly, behind the lead silver tabby, staring intently at the people in their direction. This made the guards at the gate and Gu Zewei, who had rushed over, feel uneasy, and they didn't dare to chase them away.

Some cats were joining in the chorus with the police dogs inside, some were grooming themselves, and some were playing around. But the cats in the first row at the front looked the most robust and the calmest, each one silently staring in their direction.

At the head of the group, Lin Ge glanced down and secretly yawned. To be honest, gathering these bastards and walking them all the way to the Chu City police dog base was no easy feat. He'd only done this one thing all day, and was exhausted but had to force himself to stay alert. To make matters worse, the guy guarding the police dog training base dared to stop him and his underlings from going in to rest? That was… too much!
"Hehe... If this were an animated film, the cat army would be attacking the dog army's headquarters right now! They're practically gatekeepers; even the base leaders wouldn't dare let you bring so many cats in!"

Li Siyu hid at the very back and gave a helpless, bitter smile.

She never expected that Mimi would make such a big fuss this time.

Back in Zhang City, we could only gather a couple hundred cats at most! But this time... even though Chu City is much bigger than Zhang City, the sight of four or five hundred cats gathered together is just too exaggerated!
The internet in Chu City must be about to explode right now, right?
