"Fat Cat has sent a message asking Master Fox to save him. Whoever hears it, whether it be shrews, rats, or weasels, should pass it on."

"Squeak squeak squeak..."

"Squeak..."

Though bros at heart, in times of trouble, you'll find your best mate's phone is unreachable, putting Fat Cat on edge. He wasted no time informing the shrews, using their biological intelligence network to send out a message throughout the campus, urgently summoning Master Fox to the back mountain to save him.

Fat Cat's plan was flawless.

But he was unaware that Master Fox wasn't even at Xinxing Agricultural Science College; he was in the city.

The nearby shrews hadn't seen Master Fox at all, so they had no choice but to continue spreading Fat Cat's words.

By the time the message reached Master Fox's ears, nearly ten minutes had passed. And it only reached him after Ah Qing had finished shopping and nudged him awake.

"Xiaolan, it seems your friend is looking for you...." Ah Qing shook the fox tail in her backpack.

"Meep?"

Ansheng poked his head out of the backpack and heard a faint "squeaky" sound coming from the commercial street above.

"Is that you, Master Fox? Is it you?"

"Fat Cat says it's empty, lonely, and cold, trembling in the woods of the back mountain." The shrew's "squeaky" voice turned into a cheeky remark that fell into Ansheng's ears.

Ansheng was momentarily stunned, but soon, his expression changed.

Although the biological intelligence network can transmit information, after being spread numerous times, distortion is quite normal.

As long as the general meaning is understood, it's fine.

But because of this understanding, Ansheng was shocked.

"What? Fat Cat went to the back mountain? Why didn't it notify me before going?"

Realizing something was wrong, Ansheng quickly jumped out of Ah Qing's bag, turned his head, and spoke to Ah Qing urgently:

"Ah Qing, my friend is in trouble. I need to go check on it now. Wait for me here for a moment. If I'm slow, its basket will be ruined...."

After finishing his words, Ansheng hurriedly ran toward the outside of the shopping mall.

"Huh? What's up with Little Fox?" Surprised by Little Fox's hasty escape, Lingren instinctively wanted to leap forward to catch the fleeing fox.

But Ah Qing held Lingren back, shaking her head.

"Hmm?" Lingren looked at Ah Qing, puzzled.

"Xiaolan's cat friend.... is going to get its balls cut." Ah Qing's face showed an expression of reluctance as she said, "Xiaolan is going to accompany the poor kitty on its last journey."

"Oh, so the cat person is getting de-balled." Lingren sighed in relief upon hearing this; she thought Little Fox had been scared into a panic run, but there was indeed a reason.

But Lingren thought for a moment and felt something was off, saying:

"Shouldn't castrations be in the hospital? Over in Sichuan-Chongqing, there's often a buy one get one free deal, or spaying a female cat gets you a free neutering of two male cats."

"Shouldn't we go and watch over it? I'm worried that the pet hospitals here in Chang'an might also be having a Crazy Thursday promotion."

"Ah!?"

Ah Qing's expression froze in shock. She quickly chased after Little Fox, shouting in the direction it left:

"Xiaolan! Don't fall for it!"

"You're a fox with a savings jar. You're supposed to marry Little Fox Lady and have pups in the future...."

Though Ah Qing chased quickly, Little Fox transformed into a gecko fox the moment it left the door, rapidly climbing to a high place to scout for any usable transportation.

In the bustling city center, Ansheng spotted a security officer's vehicle parked by the roadside.

Little Fox sneakily slid through the half-open window into the security bureau's sedan.

"Hey! Conveniently, there's a phone in the car." Government vehicles generally don't remove their keys, so Master Fox put its left paw on the steering wheel, started the car, rolled down the window, and said to the security officer directing traffic:

"Security Bureau business, requisitioning your car. If there's any issue, call the Security Bureau."

Master Fox floored the accelerator, instantly springing the high-powered engine to life. The red and blue police lights and the urgent siren sound blared on the road as the car sped away.

"???"

The security officer was bewildered. With his professional training, he absolutely shouldn't be stunned in emergencies.

But a white fox calling him a buddy and saying it's on Security Bureau business to requisition the car....

It even lit up the siren, claiming supreme road rights.

"By the way, have someone at the security bureau cooperate with me. I might need to speed or go off-road and possibly run a red light under safe conditions."

"Don't ask for my credentials. If you must ask, I am Wang Qiqi."

A childish voice came through the walkie-talkie, making the security officer's scalp tingle. He immediately went to inform his colleagues.

The dispatch center, upon receiving the information, instructed the young officer to be mature. After all, it's just a fox driving.

After a few more years on the job, you might find that your civil service-prepping neighbor could be an antelope.

Matters between protected animals—it's best not to pry.

......

Master Fox sped back to the Phoenix City District, leapt off the public car, and jumped onto a black pickup truck that had been waiting for some time.

"Quick! Now, head to the Qinling Panda Protection Base at the Xinxing Agricultural Science College!"

As Master Fox climbed into the truck, Lin Shu pressed the gas pedal forward, and upon hearing the destination, Lin Shu sharply turned the wheel left, driving into the wild lands, showcasing her years-honed "getaway car" skills.

No slow traffic streams, no traffic signals.

The speed of the black pickup continuously increased.

Lin Ying sat in the front passenger seat, holding tightly onto the wavering Master Fox. The two large hammers in the truck bed bounced up and down due to the bumps, banging against the truck bed with a "clang clang" sound.

"Lin Shu...."

"How about slowing down? I'm scared...." Seeing the speed surpassing a hundred miles per hour in the mountainous area, and thinking of the terrifying New Energy Warhammer in the back, Ansheng couldn't help but suppress his nausea from the bumps, his face filled with dread as he spoke to Lin Shu.

"Don't worry, Master Fox! The faster the car, the more stable it is. I guarantee we'll reach the ecological base in five minutes."

Lin Shu replied, fully focused, sprinting through the wild mountains and forests towards the ecological base.

"Boom——"

Before reaching the Qinling Ecological Base, the two humans and one fox in the car saw gray dust rising from the ecological base, as if some building had collapsed, creating a loud rumbling boom.

A gray-black figure weaved through the ruins, causing dust to rise wherever it went, blasting buildings and walls into the air.

"Fat Cat! Give me two minutes time!"

Seeing the ecological base nearly reduced to ruins, Master Fox leaned out of the truck window, using all his might to let out a resounding howl toward the base's direction.

Master Fox jumped off the pickup truck, leaning on the tire, spit twice, gagged a few times.

With a face untouched by waves, Lin Ying stepped out, her face showing no emotion, walked to the bushes, and let out a series of intense coughs, but didn't vomit.

"Hey hey! Are you done for, old bull? Did you hear my brother's resounding, mighty howl?"

With the base staff, Fat Cat shivering under the concrete faux mountain, hearing the howl, perked right up, leaping out and flipping onto the faux mountain, pointing at the rampaging antelope, cursing loudly.

"Your brother?"

"That howl sounds weaker than a bark. Whether it's bigger than my basket is another issue."

Seeing Fat Cat, who had been ducking, showing up, the antelope stopped its meaningless destruction. Over two meters tall at the shoulder, it had large, curved horns on its brow.

Its visage resembled a dog, but its nasal bridge was high. Its body looked bovine, yet its hooves were goatlike. Its coat was short, fluffy, gray-black, covering its robust muscles, emitting low, menacing bleats.

"Today...."

"Even if Leopardhead came, it wouldn't help!"

"I'm going to bust your basket! You damn bear!"

"Cat! Cat! Cat! I'm Fat Cat!"
