The Civil Servant's Job is to Raise The Furries!-Chapter 23: Dire Situation

"Squeak squeak squeak—"

When they were less than 2 kilometers away from the position of the spies, Sand Rat Boss issued a warning, signaling Xu Ying to stop.

[The roar of your motorcycle is too loud, to be safe, stop the bike here for now.]

[The temporary camp of those bad guys is just less than 2 kilometers away. You approach them slowly, and I’ll visit some relatives nearby to find out their current situation.]

Xu Ying watched the figure of Sand Rat Boss burrow into the ground and couldn’t help but marvel at how the small figure of the sand rats brings a great sense of reliability when they’re serious.

She moved in the direction pointed out by Sand Rat Boss.

It’s just past seven in the morning, and the sky in the Desert Area of Xizhou Province is still dark, which could cover her approach.

The Black Jungle Cat walked ahead, its ears twitching as if scouting.

It was like a Black Knight paving the way for Xu Ying, giving her a reassuring feeling.

Unexpectedly, there was a cat that could be this cool!

When she could see the enemy’s tent camp through the binoculars, Xu Ying found a sand dune nearby and hid behind it.

However, Xu Ying realized the Gobi Bear she brought with her was missing. Looking around, she noticed a furry sand-colored bear tail protruding from behind a large sand rock.

Wow, Brother Bear knows how to hide, this anti-reconnaissance awareness is impressive.

They are now in a no-man’s land. Xu Ying used satellite positioning to locate her geographical position and sent it through the internal communication channel to Chen Su before dialing him through satellite phone.

"Captain Chen, I found the two villains who took the sand cat, they are spies! Quickly bring people over to catch them."

Chen Su responded promptly: "Okay, take care, I’m on my way."

Xu Ying hung up the phone, feeling a bit more at ease.

Twenty minutes later, Sand Rat Boss came over with a group of small mice to meet her.

[Boss! There are four people in the camp right now, including the short guy with pigeon-toed walk you mentioned, who is operating the computer you described.] 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

[They have modified hunting rifles and alloy crossbows in their hands, they look quite dangerous.]

What Sand Rat Boss said next made Xu Ying anxious. [Little Sand Cat has an injured leg, and the wound is festering, it looks very painful.]

In the desert, it’s very hot during the day, if the wound is not treated in time, it can easily become infected and ulcerated.

Xu Ying blinked her eyes, "Boss Rat, can you do me a favor?"

"You take a few relatives to sneak up to Little Sand Cat and tell it that its master brought people to find it."

"Have it pretend to catch sand rats and run out of the camp."

"Then bring it to me here to treat its wounds."

Sand Rat Boss hesitated for a while, then nodded resolutely: "Alright, wait for me here."

What’s there to fear from a sick cat!

For the sake of filling the warehouse, the rats will try!

As the sand rats were leaving, the Black Jungle Cat caught its tail: "Boss Rat, is there any snake dens nearby?"

Sand Rat Boss froze for a moment, then pointed with a paw behind it at the family group: [Ask them, they’re locals, I’m just visiting.]

A Little Desert Rat immediately replied: [About 500 meters nearby, there is a particularly fierce King Cobra, it moved here last night, making us not dare to come out much.]

[Alright.]

The Black Jungle Cat nodded, then said to Xu Ying: [Xu Xiaozhan, I’m going to catch a few snakes, be careful.]

After the Black Jungle Cat left for a while, Sand Rat Boss successfully completed the task, bringing a limping sand cat.

Its left forelimb had a bloody and blurry area, making Xu Ying feel heartache.

Xu Ying was feeling distressed for Little Sand Cat, but surprisingly, that limping little sand cat, after seeing Xu Ying, wasn’t limping anymore, nor was it wobbling when walking.

Like a little lightning, it rushed towards Xu Ying, meowing: [Rescuer Great, I’m here!]

[Quickly catch me!]

This unexpected change confused Xu Ying, she hurriedly caught the Little Sand Cat that leapt into her arms.

It seems this is a socially bold little cat!

[Great, I know you~ You are just as righteous and kind as my master, I’ve met you three times in the desert, you were always helping small animals~]

The aggrieved Little Sand Cat used its cat head to nuzzle Xu Ying: [In the desert, encountering these suspicious people, I tracked them all the way until they entered your rescue station, I was discovered, so they captured me and brought me here to watch their equipment.]

Seeing Little Sand Cat so familiar naturally spared Xu Ying the process of building trust with the other party.

"Let me see your leg, can you really not walk?"

[Yes, yes, my leg isn’t lame, that limp was just acted out~]

Little Sand Cat’s tail wagged, and its light golden cat eyes gleamed with intelligence.

[Master says disguises can lower others’ vigilance, making it easier to find opportunities to escape.]

This little sand cat looks naive and cute, yet beneath the cute exterior hides such a smart soul, worthy of being the apprentice of Black Jungle Cat!

"Baby is awesome! So smart!" Xu Ying rubbed its head, "Your master Black Jungle Cat went to find you some snacks."

"Let’s leave this dangerous place for treatment, okay?"

Don’t be fooled by Little Sand Cat’s cute appearance, it is actually a ferocious and adorable girl, even able to treat venomous snakes as snacks!

People even gave them a nickname "Snake Hunter."

[Alright, I’ll listen to whatever you say, Great.]

Little Sand Cat curled up in Xu Ying’s arms: [I’m a bit tired, want to rest for a while~]

Xu Ying felt the temperature of the cat’s body slightly hot, apparently, the wound still made Little Sand Cat uncomfortable.

But this cat is very resilient, relying on willpower to endure.

She intended to hold the Little Sand Cat and quietly leave when a sand rat rushed over, anxiously: [Boss, boss, something bad happened, the enemy discovered your presence!]

[I just heard them say that some equipment detected a satellite phone signal being dialed out nearby, and they’ve started looking for you!]

Xu Ying’s heart tightened, about to dash away.

Another little mouse popped out to urgently stop her: [You can’t run away now, that short guy already took an alloy crossbow and is heading your direction, if you show your head, you could easily get hurt.]

Xu Ying held her breath, first placing Little Sand Cat on the sand, then drawing the self-defense electric stick from her waist.

"Shush shush—"

The sound of footsteps on the sand grew closer and closer.

Xu Ying swallowed nervously, finally understanding why the desert is called the sea of death, truly fraught with danger.

At this moment, a shadow appeared in her vision, Black Jungle Cat came with a twisting King Cobra in its mouth, it winked at Xu Ying.

Xu Ying’s chaotic mind suddenly calmed down, understanding Black Jungle Cat wanted her to cooperate.

She held her breath and nodded.
