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

The one-eyed man was caught in a mental struggle.

This is an open strategy, and also a way out.

What Brother Li said is indeed correct. The urban villages have already been demolished, and Tiancheng Community has not been taken over.

With the brothers starving and injured, it was a pipe dream to try and take over another piece of land.

They won't even need seven days; in just three days, they'll surely die silently in some dark corner of Yanling City.

Being employed also carries risks.

There are quite a few gangs that covet Tiancheng Community, but most of them are not in danger of survival, so they are all watching and waiting. One-Eyed Dragon was forced to become the first to stick his neck out because of the demolition of the urban village.

However, the most troublesome are the Xiaotian Gang.

If these mad dogs were really going to make a move, they would never do it like this today.

But then again, if his brothers were well-fed, their fighting strength would be no less than those mad dogs, and even if the outcome was 40/60, they would still have a fighting chance.

It's a way out!

Just as One-Eyed Dragon was weighing the pros and cons, the sheriff, who had left and then returned at some point, appeared out of nowhere.

However, when it came back, it had a uniquely shaped can in its mouth.

Without saying a word, it slowly and methodically opened the can of food in front of the stray cats in the urban village.

A gentle breeze swept by, and in an instant, the fragrance filled the air.

That's the distinctive meaty aroma of high-end canned goods.

The stray cats in the urban village had never seen such high-end goods before. They were immediately captivated, their eyes glued to the can of food, unable to look away.

"Everyone must be tired. You've all worked hard today. Let's treat everyone to a good meal. Everyone in Tiancheng Community will get a share." Brother Li seemed to be speaking to his own brothers, but his voice was so loud it was almost announcing to the world.

One-Eyed Dragon stared intently at the can, his Adam's apple bobbing as he managed to squeeze out a question: "Can we eat this canned food too?"

"If you agree to hire us, based on your performance, in addition to basic cat food, we'll also provide similar canned food," the sheriff's voice was full of enticement.

At this moment, for these starving stray cats in the urban village, nothing is more important than filling their stomachs.

"It's a deal!"

The one-eyed dragon finally stopped hesitating, and its unruly and stubborn nature completely softened at this moment.

I'll do anything to make sure my brothers are well-fed!

It walked up to Tanuki with utmost solemnity, its massive body leaning forward, bowing its proud head deeply, its front paws on the ground, assuming a perfectly submissive posture.

"I, One-Eyed Dragon, am willing to accept employment at Tiancheng Residential Complex, and will go through fire and water to serve you like a dog!"

As its voice rang out, the more than twenty stray cats from the urban village behind it all followed their leader and bowed their heads to Brother Tanuki and the sheriff.

"I hope you remember our agreement. If I find that you are unruly and bully the animals in Tiancheng Community, then it will truly be a fight to the death." The warning in Tanuki's tone was clear to everyone.

"I, One-Eyed Dragon, am a man of my word. Even if I die, I will die in front of Tiancheng Community." It swore with unwavering determination in its eyes.

Not only did Brother Tanuki not kill it, it even gave it a chance to start over. If it still doesn't know what's good for it, what's the difference between it and a human?

"Eat."

The sheriff pulled out three or four more cans of food from somewhere, opened them all, and placed them in front of the stray cats in the urban village: "Consider this our advance payment for their services."

They stared longingly at the canned food, swallowing their saliva incessantly. Their eyes had long lost their former ferocity, now filled with a thirst for food.

Even so, they didn't rush to snatch it immediately, but instead turned to look at the one-eyed dragon.

"Eat," the one-eyed man said softly, his gaze softening slightly.

Having received its command, the stray cats in the urban village swarmed forward, eagerly beginning to lick the meat from the canned food.

The stray cat that was just shouting that it wouldn't eat charity was licking the food the most.

"Didn't you just say you weren't going to eat it?" the stray cat next to it, who hadn't managed to snatch it, said irritably.

"Hehe, it smells so good."

It gave a good-natured smile and began to bury itself in its rice.

Tanuki and the sheriff exchanged a smile. Actually, recruiting One-Eyed Dragon was not part of their plan at first. Their idea was to completely exterminate these stray cats and restore the reputation of Tiancheng Community.

However, the one-eyed dragon's final advice still moved Tanuki. It was clear that he was a loyal and righteous fellow, which coincided with Tanuki's philosophy of roaming the world.

The sheriff also felt that it was time to add some new strength to Tiancheng Community.

The Tiancheng residential community is developing better and better, which will inevitably attract the jealousy of other local gangs.

Urban villages are the first, but certainly not the last.

Looking at the group of wounded but frighteningly bright-eyed animals behind him, Brother Tanuki raised his arm and shouted, "Today is the day my Tiancheng Community will make a name for itself! Besides the urban villages, even the mad dogs of the Xiaotian Gang have been driven away by us!"

"Our Tiancheng community will only get better and better. We need to let these guys know that the path Tiancheng community is on is the right one, and what Tiancheng community is doing is what stray animals should be doing!"

"Here, humans and pets live in harmony. Every stray cat has food, a place to sleep, and the dignity to survive. We are firmly on the path of Marxism and communism!"

"From now on, we'll let every gang in Yanling City know that Tiancheng Residential Area is a place they absolutely dare not mess with!"

As Tanuki's meow rang out, all the animals looked up and howled, echoing, "Tanuki is mighty!"

"Brother Tanuki is awesome!"

"Brother Tanuki is awesome!"

Caught up in the atmosphere, even the one-eyed man and the stray cats in the urban village started shouting together.

"Brother Tanuki is awesome!"

Lu Fang, who was hiding not far away, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and patted his chest.

Why are these little guys acting like they've gone crazy, meowing like cats and barking like dogs? Luckily, there aren't many people around here, and it's an unfinished building. If it were in a park, someone would have called the police to catch the cats and dogs long ago!

Did they win or lose?!

Sheriff: "A complete victory! Everyone's injuries aren't serious, they'll recover on their own. You should go back and rest, you still have things to do for the opening of the pet hospital."

Lu Fang felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, opened it to find the police chief's good news.

"Alright, I'll head out now. Oh, by the way, to celebrate your victory, I bought a bunch of canned food for your celebration feast. I'll put it in the usual spot later." Lu Fang smiled.

"Ahem, do less of this kind of thing in the future," the sheriff said, feigning authority.

"Don't worry, I know the rules. Your can of salmon is on my desk in my room. I'll feed it to you separately later."

"How could you do this, young comrade!" the sheriff exclaimed in displeasure.

"Three cans!"

The sheriff nodded, pleased.
