There's a chat group for pets in my neighborhood.

"I'm fine!"

The living room was empty except for the stray orange cat, which stood there blankly for some unknown reason.

"Are you really alright?" Lu Fang asked suspiciously.

That scream was so horrific; no matter how you look at it, it doesn't sound like someone is alright.

"I was scared by the cat," Qin Zhuyan's voice came from the inner room.

Since she insisted, Lu Fang had no choice but to give up and led the stray orange cat back to his room.

At this moment, wrapped in a towel, Qin Zhuyan, her breasts half-exposed, leaned against the door, panting heavily.

If I had been even a fraction of a second slower, I would have been trapped in the living room by Lu Fang.

She wasn't wearing anything at all.

Thank goodness.

She buried herself in the soft mattress, wrapped herself in the blanket, and only her head was sticking out.

Her face flushed red, she stared blankly in the direction of Lu Fang's room.

Qin Zhuyan, Qin Zhuyan, you are a thirty-year-old woman, how could you do such a shameless thing!

What should I do if Lu Fang really sees me...?

For some reason, Qin Zhuyan felt a strange sense of anticipation when she imagined that scene.

Since graduating from junior high school and coming to Yanling City to make her way in the world, she only had a brief three-month boyfriend. After the breakup, she devoted herself to her work and never had any romantic feelings again.

But now...

She shook her head, banishing these jumbled thoughts.

Then her gaze fell on the bedside table, where her little toys were placed.

But after just one glance, she forced herself to look away.

What a joke! Lu Fang is right next door. If he hears this, what's the difference between that and being caught in the living room just now?

She could only whimper and cover her head with the blanket.

The Lu side on the other side had no idea what was happening.

Just then, the stray orange cat entered the room and started meowing at Charlie.

Since he couldn't understand it, he could only pretend to be playing on his phone while actually keeping an eye on the chat in the group.

Stray orange cat: "I've found out, Charlie doesn't want to go back yet, it's because of the dark-skinned PE student."

"Its life was given to it by the dark-skinned PE student, and now it's deserting its post. What's the difference between it and a coward?"

"No matter what, it has to rescue the black-skinned physicist and go back."

Tanuki suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Socialite Tanuki: "He's a real man, I knew I wasn't wrong about him."

The stray orange cat said, "Charlie said he's almost recovered and can go out these few days to help look for clues. I wonder if the dark-skinned PE student has been sent to the slaughterhouse."

Sheriff: "@Everyone, come out and report the details!"

The sheriff had obviously been keeping an eye on the messages in the group chat, and as soon as the stray orange cat finished speaking, he immediately notified everyone.

Sparrow asked, "There hasn't been much activity at that old steel mill lately, but a bread truck has been spotted a few times, delivering some pet dogs, but it doesn't seem like they're going to ship them out. I've recorded the exact route, and it's in the group files."

Sheriff: "Good job, @GreyRat, how about you over there?"

Gray Mouse: "We've pretty much figured out the structure of the internal steel plant. We've also marked the entrances and exits for the ventilation shafts and sewers on the map."

"But those guys were also on guard. We lost a lot of our brothers, and in the end we only managed to notify a few pets that were located closer to the sewers. We got a lot of pet portraits, which we also shared in the group files."

Sheriff: "Don't worry, we will remember your sacrifice. Report the specific list of the victims, and I will distribute the compensation to you according to the number of rats."

Gray Mouse: "Alright!"

It didn't seem too sad. Rats reproduce very quickly. If it weren't for the rules set by Brother Tanuki and the Sheriff to control the rat population in Tiancheng Community, it would have multiplied wildly long ago.

We've only lost some brothers, but as long as there's enough food, we can replenish them soon.

Gray Mouse: "Oh, right, there's some amazing news too."

"Legs that are 1.8 meters long: What's the good news?"

Gray Mouse: "The dark-skinned PE student wasn't sent away; he's still in the old steel factory. He just doesn't look well; he's covered in injuries. When we found him, he was already unconscious, and we couldn't get in touch with him."

Stray orange cat: "Really?! I have to tell Charlie this good news!"

The guy with legs 1.8 meters long said, "I can't believe it! So much time has passed, and they still haven't sent that dark-skinned PE student away. What's going on?"

Socialite Brother Li: "I asked my brothers to inquire about this; it was quite a coincidence."

"The situation has been quite tense lately, with many dogs being lost. It seems that a lot of police officers are paying attention to this issue, and there's a crackdown on it from all sides. So they don't dare to send those dogs to the slaughterhouse at this critical juncture. They can only keep them for now and wait for the situation to calm down."

"only......"

"What is it, Brother Tanuki? Just say what you want to say." (1.8 meters long leg)

Social Brother Li: "The breeding conditions at the old steel mill were terrible. Those beasts didn't care about raising them properly at all. According to my brothers' observations, quite a few dogs have died and been dumped in the woods outside. We buried as many of them as possible with soil."

"If what Gray Mouse said is true, even the dark-skinned PE student won't last more than a few days."

These words immediately stirred up public outrage!

Everyone wanted to rush out right now and tear those dog-stealing beasts to pieces.

Finally, the sheriff stepped in and calmed the situation: "The black-skinned athletes can't wait any longer. Let's make preparations and take them home the day after tomorrow!"

This was the first large-scale collective action by pets in the neighborhood, with stray cats being the main fighting force.

Domestic pets can offer limited support.

After all, it would be very difficult for a Corgi with legs that are 1.8 meters long to open the door and run out in the middle of the night.

But everyone is willing to contribute their share.

Those who can go out should try to make the most of their time.

Those who can't go out will save their own snacks and food to use as mobilization meals and rewards for stray cats and dogs.

Lu Fang was moved as he watched the scenes unfolding in the group chat.

"I'll get in touch with them too. The vet will be coming with you. Let Charlie lead the way. He's pretty good with dogs, so there shouldn't be any problems."

"If his brothers get injured, he can provide timely medical treatment and prevent any accidents from happening."

Sheriff: "I'm leaving this to you. According to Gray Rat's description, the dark-skinned PE student is in very poor condition. We'll have to rely on him."

"No problem, you don't need to worry about that. He's a very kind person."

Socialite Tanuki: "Tell him to stay away from me. This guy keeps staring at my magazine, it's creepy! I suspect he has a cat fetish!"

Upon seeing this, Lu Fang was furious.

Alright, alright, you little raccoon, I'll break your egg sooner or later, so you can drool over the beautiful calico cats in the neighborhood!
