Reborn Cat Sheriff

Chapter 480 Dinghai Shenzhen
More passengers arrived in Chushi from France than from South America previously.

The tense alert coming from Li Siyu's chest walkie-talkie told Lin Ge that this wave of passengers numbered over four hundred, almost double the number of the previous international flight.

With so many people exiting the station at the same time, it's bound to be crowded and jostling. If terrorists are hiding in the crowd, accurately locating them won't be an easy task.

Furthermore, Lin Ge had to consider another matter: he couldn't be in two places at once. If the number of enemies wasn't just one or two, but many, finding them all without missing a single one would be a troublesome matter. Add to that the continuous landings of flights in succession, and the actual time he had to assess the targets was limited. If he got bogged down by one flight, what if there were still enemies lurking on the next one…

Lin Ge shook his head, unwilling to believe that terrorists could go to such lengths. If they had so much manpower, resources, and energy to do something like this, why would they target a mere military sports meet with only ten thousand or so participants?
'Tap tap tap...'

The footsteps grew closer, and Lin Ge quickly focused his attention, stopping his wandering thoughts and squinting as he watched the flow of people appearing around the corner of the terminal.

Because the arrival hall had been closed for disinfection, people picking up passengers were kept outside the building. Now, as passengers arrived, people began to rush into the hall, making the scene slightly chaotic.

However, these matters were none of Lin Ge's concern, and the police were naturally responsible for maintaining order. Lin Ge kept a close eye on the approaching crowd while listening to the rapid breathing of Li Siyu and several receptionists beside him.

Everyone was very nervous; the thrilling scene from just now was still fresh in their minds.

"Ah woo~"

Lin Ge yawned again, trying to make himself more energetic.

However, his worries subsided. This time, unlike before, he didn't sense any obvious danger from afar. In other words, either the enemy was well hidden, or the flight was safe.

Lin Ge couldn't help but turn his head to look out the window; the huge Boeing airliner was still parked in the same spot. Unless they were certain that the passengers it was carrying were innocent, it wouldn't be able to leave the tarmac even a step.

"What adorable cats! Is this a Chinese specialty, that so many cats came to greet us? It's just a pity, why not giant pandas?"

A slightly strange Chinese voice rang out not far ahead, where a burly, blond-haired, blue-eyed man was chatting and laughing with the person picking him up. He seemed to really like cats, constantly glancing in Lin Ge's direction as he spoke.

"Mr. Schmidt, welcome to Chu City!"

The person picking me up appeared to be a government official, but he seemed unaware of the secrets of the Tiger virus. Furthermore, he had never seen cats in the terminal before, so he seemed somewhat embarrassed and puzzled.

Lin Ge glanced in that direction twice and then ignored it; he didn't have time to pay attention to anything other than the Tiger virus.

As the crowd passed by one by one, and after a while confirming that no unusual aura was detected, Lin Ge relaxed considerably. Not only Lin Ge, but even the police dogs patrolling the perimeter and crouching near the security checkpoint didn't detect anything amiss or raise any alarms. This relieved Wei Zhengxun and the group behind him who had been extremely tense. It seemed the terrorists couldn't sustain their attack, which was undoubtedly good news that allowed them to assess their true strength.

No abnormalities were found, so there was no need for the terminal to remain closed. Soon after, with the emergency coordination of the civil aviation authorities, the passenger planes that had been scheduled to delay their landings and takeoffs were now ordered to proceed to the runway.

The next flight to land was a domestic flight, and Lin Ge relaxed a little but didn't completely let his guard down. Luckily, he was fortunate; the next dozen or so flights went smoothly, and everything seemed to return to normal.

With flight schedules returning to normal, Lin Ge took a nap. Looking at his restless subordinates running amok in the lobby, he didn't bother to restrain them; as long as they didn't cause any serious trouble, that was fine.

"worn out!"

Unable to resist rubbing his eyes with the back of his paw, Lin Ge felt uncomfortable all over after squatting for so long. But he didn't dare lie down to completely relax, as that would reduce his focus on dealing with the situation.

Li Siqi went to the restroom, and thinking about it, Lin Ge also jumped off the service counter and went to the litter box under the table to take care of his personal needs.

As soon as the cleaning was finished, a ground staff member quickly scooped up the contaminated cat litter and disposed of it. Her expressionless and serious work made Lin Ge feel a little embarrassed, so he could only turn his head to look in another direction.

This surprised Lin Ge. He noticed that the French man called Schmidt and the government official who had come to pick him up hadn't left, but were instead quietly exchanging words on seats in the lounge area some distance away. Judging from their occasional glances at the flight information board on the wall, it seemed they had other people waiting for them. However, after observing the man for a moment and finding nothing amiss with the rather refined man, Lin Ge turned his attention away and ignored him.

"I have a feeling... this person's temperament is somewhat similar to Yang Xiaotong and Jiang Yan'er. Could he be a doctor?"

Lin Ge muttered to himself and looked back at the runway outside.

There, a Boeing passenger plane from the United States was slowly turning around, and in twenty minutes at most, another large group of people would arrive to give him something to do. Even the leaders in the previous meeting had emphasized that all flights from that direction must be closely monitored. Because even disregarding terrorists and their actions in Chu City, the United States already has a large population infected with the Tiger virus, and they absolutely cannot be allowed to enter Chu City.

While a medical examination is a necessary condition for traveling abroad on international flights, the Tiger virus is not currently a major concern for the public, and it remains uncertain whether the United States will ban individuals with this condition from international flights. Even if they take all the necessary precautions, the domestic situation cannot be completely unprepared. This is why police stations across the country have been deployed to various airports to assist with Tiger virus prevention. Currently, it's not just Chushi Tianchi International Airport that is taking precautions against Tiger virus; all airports, large and small, across the country are implementing related measures. At least until effective methods to contain the Tiger virus are available, the country will not let its guard down.

Soon, a large group of passengers surged toward the exit.

Then... a strong sense of fear washed over him, and Lin Ge stared wide-eyed in surprise.

This wave... no! The number of passengers on this plane infected with the Tiger virus is so exaggerated that it's suffocating him. It's as if everyone is a zombie infected with the virus, and the air is filled with the stench of the virus!
"Fuck!"

Lin Ge couldn't help but roar out loud, and reflexively kicked the emergency button on the bottom edge of the service counter.

"Woo woo woo~"

The blinding flashing red lights, accompanied by the piercing siren, buzzed throughout the entire departure hall, leaving all departing passengers, those picking up passengers, and even airport staff dumbfounded.

The airport security personnel, in particular, knew one thing very well: unless it was the most serious problem, the cat would absolutely not press the alarm! Remembering the precautions given during their training, everyone's expression changed drastically.

"Ow~"

Lin Ge roared again and charged towards the security checkpoint at the exit.

"Meow~"

A large group of cats followed behind, meowing timidly. They too felt uneasy and afraid, but they still followed behind Lingo one by one, daring to face the danger and cautiously moving forward.

'Ding ding ding!'

"Wang Wang!"

Police officers rushed over with their police dogs.

The sounds of rushing traffic, the clanging of police weapons, the barking of police dogs, and the sudden activation of electronic gates left everyone at the scene stunned. People looked around in astonishment, no one knowing what was happening. They only saw a group of police officers standing at the exit gates, ordering passengers to stop and proceed in designated directions.

The pale-faced ground staff member repeatedly issued warnings in both Chinese and English, demanding that the bewildered passengers obey her orders.

Immediately afterwards, two teams of police officers and one team of armed police entered the passage, blocked the front and rear exits, and ordered everyone to act immediately and follow them to the designated location for inspection.

This time, no one dared to be careless, and no one dared to let the suspect get close to the exit hall again.

As long as the main hall remains uncontaminated, Tianchi International Airport only needs to close one terminal passageway. There are three other similar passageways within the airport; with some adjustments, even with numerous problems here, airport operations will not be affected.

"What happened?"

Why are you restricting us?

"What are you going to do?"

Passengers of all skin colors murmured amongst themselves, but none dared to resist in front of the police and their guns. Though they grumbled and cursed, they obediently followed to the emergency exit, where they were all sealed off and isolated.

As the people disappeared, the murmurs subsided considerably. However, the sudden descent of the fire shutter in the passageway still startled everyone. No one knew what had happened inside; it all seemed so eerie.
Someone secretly took out their phone to take pictures, but was immediately stopped by patrolling police officers and asked to delete them. This attitude made everyone even more suspicious.

Fortunately, the scene remained relatively orderly, and after a brief period of chaos, things gradually returned to calm. However, considering the earlier incident of being suddenly asked to leave the departure hall, some people immediately began to suspect that something very serious must have happened at the airport.

Chinese version of 911?

Although they couldn't capture any specific footage, that didn't stop them from taking out their phones to edit and speculate, and then posting the content online.

"So, what exactly is the situation?"

Wei Zhengxun's head was still spinning. How could there suddenly be over two hundred suspects or infected individuals? Seeing the cat on the monitor, almost driven mad with fear, had nearly made his heart stop. Even though the response was timely and prevented the infected from wandering into open areas, the fact that so many people were detained or even quarantined still demanded an explanation.

"According to the passport investigation, more than a dozen passengers on the plane were from Ohio, USA, and worked in New York. Ohio is one of the areas in the United States most severely affected by the Tiger virus outbreak. Among these more than ten people, eight were family groups of up to thirty people who had come to our country for tourism. Meanwhile, the US authorities only closed Cleveland Hopkins International Airport in Ohio and North Kentucky International Airport in neighboring Kentucky, as well as airports in two other affected states, but did not impose any restrictions on the flights that these passengers took at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport."

An airport official, pale and tense, paused before continuing, "The ridiculous thing is, neither of the two airports in Osas has direct international flights to Chu City. The US blockade is a joke to us. Even regarding medical examinations, although the US has stated that it has included Tiger virus-related testing in the mandatory medical examinations, it seems that this order has not been fully implemented. Although there are factors related to the US's own national circumstances, Secretary Wei, the situation has now become even more troublesome! We must inform the higher-ups immediately; I suspect the Americans are allowing the Tiger virus to spread throughout the world..."

He simply couldn't imagine how the country would prepare for such a situation if the United States really allowed virus carriers to enter my country at will, given the incalculable number of people involved.

Should we, as someone suggested at the beginning, completely cut off all ties with the United States?

Even if the United States is locked down, the virus can still spread from the United States to other countries. How can it be contained?

The thought that the Tiger virus might not be able to be completely stopped made the person in charge feel weak all over.

"This is no longer something we can decide. I'll pass the message on to the higher-ups right away and have them immediately notify all airports and cruise ships in the country. Sigh! Let's do everything we can, at least in Chu City, to stop it for now!"

Wei Zhengxun sighed and immediately ordered someone to report the situation to his superiors. If this battle against the Tiger virus not only faces the threat of terrorists but also has to contend with interference and further instigation from the Americans, then things will become very troublesome!
But no matter what, we will absolutely not let any Tiger virus in!

"Mimi, well done!"

Upon arriving at the scene, Wei Zhengxun slapped Lin Ge hard on the head. Lin Ge, feeling the pain, retaliated with a claw, but Wei Zhengxun, despite his own grimacing from the claw, didn't get angry. Instead, he smiled at Lin Ge as if he were a precious treasure.

If Mimi hadn't once again provided early warnings and even pressed the highest alarm button without hesitation, who knows if this wave of infections from the United States could have been easily controlled.

Normally, after receiving a warning from Mimi, at least ten police officers are needed to control the situation on-site. Considering the current ratio of police officers deployed to Tianchi International Airport, a dozen or so officers to deal with one target is already a high number.

But this time it wasn't just one or two infected people, but more than thirty people who had already been infected with the tiger virus, and more than one hundred people who were suspected of being infected due to contact!

How could a dozen or so people possibly control them completely?
If Mimi hadn't pressed the alarm button immediately, allowing the armed police and reserve forces to arrive at the scene right away, these people would never have been completely stopped before they even finished walking down the exit corridor.

However, if it is not stopped, how many people and how much effort will be needed, and whether it will cause future problems, is another unknown!
So this time, Mimi got the short end of the stick again!

Wei Zhengxun even had a feeling that as long as Mimi continued to stand there, it could act as a stabilizing force, ensuring the safety of Chu City. No virus carrier could escape Mimi's surveillance, and no Tiger virus could escape the blockade it led to enter Chu City. As an inland city, Chu City didn't need to consider threats from maritime transport. Therefore, as long as the airport was sealed off, the Tiger virus wouldn't be able to cause any damage to Chu City.

"Thank goodness you were here this time!"

Wei Zhengxun was deeply moved. He didn't even know if, without this cat, other methods would have been able to react in time to the two Tiger virus attacks.
Take, for example, the police dog unit, painstakingly selected and even trained. They can indeed sniff out the Tiger virus and react. However, their reaction distance and efficiency are far less impressive than Mimi's! The police dogs are always slower than Mimi in detecting anomalies, sometimes even requiring the dog to get close to the security checkpoint before they can make an effective judgment. And this distance… frankly, doesn't completely reassure Wei Zhengxun.

But now that this cat is here, things are different! It can still make accurate judgments even at a distance of forty or fifty meters. With it guarding this place, the enemy will absolutely not be able to pass through the exit corridor!
Perfect defense!
Seeing Wei Zhengxun's deeply moved expression, Lin Ge curled his lip.

Of course he knew that he was lucky to be there this time; otherwise, given the scale of this zombie invasion, who knew what terrible things might have happened?

Therefore, this time Lin Ge vowed that he would do his best to effectively protect Chu City and completely isolate the Tiger virus!

only……

How long can it last?
I haven't had a proper night's sleep of more than two hours in at least four days, have I? There are still more than ten days left. If I keep pushing myself like this, can I really hold on until this is all over?

Lin Ge is now eager to find someone or something to switch shifts with, but he is reluctant to entrust such an important mission and such a crucial position to a comrade who cannot be as strong as him.

This isn't about looking down on anyone, but rather that such casualness is actually harming the other person.

So the only thing Lin Ge can do now is to stand firmly here, like the anchor that Wei Zhengxun praised, and stay here to the death! Become an unbreakable defensive line to block all the terrorists and the conspiracies of certain people!

"Hmph! Good! By drawing their attention here, the pressure on other parts of the country will be much less."

Lin Ge suddenly let out a muffled groan.

Keep asking for monthly votes! As long as we Chinese people unite, we are invincible!
