Chapter 127 (1/2)

Running into Sheriff didn't change Zheng Tan's plans He was deterht

Sheriff watched Zheng Tan go, then debated for awith followed hiht They were here just to play

Sheriff and the other cats played as they followed Zheng Tan The sounds they roup

This wasn't because they were a pack Out of all felines, only lions moved in packs Cats were independent and unpredictable ani Cats living in the human world sometimes looked for playroup of cats yet Zheng Tan assumed it was because none of the cats lived particularly close to this area All of them only came here to play Cats like Sheriff were probably considered newcomers here

Zheng Tan ignored the growing pack of cats behind him He kept an eye out for people He heard talk that the school periodically asked janitorial workers to clear the area of strays

Once a worker found a litter of kitties in a building but couldn't find their mother anywhere The worker had to take the kitties hoht and sent to the pound

Also, Zheng Tan realized that this area wasn't completely devoid of people Besides the model car club; other people had also applied to use these abandoned buildings These buildings were hoed students to fors were safe before assigning them The safe ones had special marks on the wall

This was another reason why stray cats didn't live here

Most of the cats following hihting with Sheriff ca Tan couldattacked Even if he were stronger than roup of cats attacked hi Tan jumped over a construction fence and cahtly shut It was made from a thick wooden board The students hadn't installed athat the things inside orth stealing

Zheng Tan didn't enter through the door The glass was broken on one of the s He juh the hole Sheriff followed hih s as often as they walked through doors This was a very easy task for the, but only two ju

Sheriff and the two other cats started sniffing around theTan let them do whatever they wanted He ju for a newly built model car It didn't have an outer shell yet, and the parts were all showing He found the car and its re Tan was doing He watched Zheng Tan place the car on the flat tracks Sheriff went to sniff the car, then patted it with his paw He didn't find it very interesting However, the thing suddenly made a loud noise that startled him Sheriff juot used to the sound When the car startedon the tracks, Sheriff sat on the side and watched

Zheng Tan fiddled with the re buttons with his paw He laid the controller on the floor to make it easier At first, he couldn't make turns so the car would hit the side of the tracks every single tio over and flip the car back up only to have it hit the side again after a few seconds The track was oval shaped, so it was difficult to navigate with paws He hadn't expected playing with toys would be this hard though

He kept trying

After a few laps, he could e to hit the side of the track only five times per lap

He had been so focused that he hadn't realized he gained an audience A group of cats was sitting by the tracks and watching hihtly wary of the model car, so most of the cats stayed a distance away Sheriff had tried to run after the car However, it moved too fast and moved only within a small area, so he sat down

After a short rest, Zheng Tan was ready to try again when suddenly, he heard a sound He ran to theand stood on his hind legs on a chair to look outside

He could see a figure sneaking up to the building Even huht Unfortunately, there weren't ht Even couples avoided this place because there were no streetla else

Who the hell picked this shi+tty place to rob?

The person ca and looked around He didn't see anyone, so he waved his accomplice over

The thieves were aand appeared to be students There were a lot of thieving couples around here It was better to work in pairs Zheng Tan felt these tere much less experienced compared to the eastern quarter thieves He should be able to deal with the to cli outside Therefore, they didn't realize they were still surrounded by cats

The fence was falling apart, so theyTan saw the towards theand quickly ju in a corner It was covered in dust So Tan went over and picked up the wrench He felt its weight, then hid four or five meters away from the door
