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

"There must be other places!" The sheriff's sharp eyes swept over the cables in the yard, and the map of the old steel mill that Gray Rat had investigated earlier came to mind.

"In these abandoned old factory buildings, the internal distribution box is usually just a branch; for safety reasons, the actual main switch will definitely be located in a separate distribution room or on a utility pole outside the factory!"

While dodging Scarface's attacks, the sheriff imagined the route of the cables inside the wall.

"Dude, we need to get your human doctor friend to help out." Despite being busy, it still managed to find time to send a message in the group chat.

"Tell me, I'll find a way to notify him," Lu Fang said anxiously, squatting outside the door.

"The main valve is most likely in the small room in the southeast corner of the factory. We can't leave here right now; we need to get him to go and turn off the main valve."

With a nimble dodge, the sheriff dodged another bullet fired by Scarface.

"Okay, I'll have him get on it right away!" Lu Fang stood up and immediately rushed in the direction the police chief pointed out.

The scene was extremely chaotic. The fat pig, having recovered, grabbed a steel pipe and smashed it hard on a golden retriever. Before the golden retriever could even whimper, it collapsed to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.

The other man was not to be outdone; he wielded the dog lasso with great skill and quickly secured a teddy bear.

The fox was extremely brave, leaping and bounding around, leaving the skinny monkey exhausted from defending himself. In just a short while, the skinny monkey had many more bloody marks on his body.

However, the size difference between cats and humans cannot be bridged. No matter how skilled Tanuki is, he can't avoid getting punched a few times by Skinny Monkey.

Skinny Monkey also became ruthless. He took off his coat and waited patiently for an opportunity to completely trap Brother Tanuki.

The sheriff was locked in a fierce battle with Scarface. Although he was the strategist of Tiancheng Community, he was also quite capable in combat, and Scarface couldn't defeat him in a short time.

However, as time goes by, if the mainland cannot shut down the main gate, they will eventually be at a disadvantage.

Lu Fang, who was outside the low wall, quickly found the low bungalow that the sheriff had mentioned. The iron gate was not locked; it was just haphazardly tied with a wire.

He rushed forward immediately, trying to untangle the wire and open the iron gate, but the wire was so tightly wrapped that he couldn't exert any force. He didn't have any suitable tools at the moment, and if he went back to find wire cutters now, it would be too late.

Lu Fang searched around for a moment, then hardened his heart and kicked the iron gate.

You know what, it actually seems to be somewhat useful.

Under the immense force, the wire loosened slightly.

Lu Fang was overjoyed. He took a few steps back and kicked the iron gate again.

As he moved, the wire gradually loosened, and Lu Fang then stepped forward to untie it.

The iron gate opened, and he immediately saw the huge, rusty electrical box on the wall.

Without the slightest hesitation, Lu Fang gripped the heavy switch handle with both hands, took a deep breath, and pulled it down sharply!

"Sizzle—!"

It was accompanied by a piercing crackle of electricity and a dazzling spark.

The few bright incandescent lights inside the old steel mill flickered twice and then went out completely with a "snap".

At that moment, Scarface was calling to Skinny Monkey and Fat Pig to rush towards Brother Tanuki with nets.

At the critical moment, the lights went out.

The surroundings were plunged into darkness in an instant.

Caught off guard, the skinny monkey and the fat pig accidentally put the net over each other's heads.

"Boss, what's going on? Why is the power out?" Skinny Monkey's voice was somewhat shrill. At this moment, he had a net on his head, his face was covered in bloodstains, and he couldn't see the road in front of him. He tripped over something and fell flat on his face.

Meanwhile, the Corgi, who had just slipped to the skinny monkey's feet, kept its accomplishment hidden, wiggled its plump rear end, and leisurely left the scene of the crime.

"There might be a power outage! Where's the flashlight? Turn it on quickly!" Scarface roared. He closed his eyes to adjust to the darkness, then pulled out a lighter from his pocket, trying to illuminate his surroundings.

Unexpectedly, just as the lighter was lit, a dark shadow flashed by and instantly extinguished the flame.

The one who arrived was none other than Brother Tanuki!

In the darkness, Tanuki, relying on his feline instincts, recovered almost instantly.

"The gods have granted me vision."

It muttered something childishly, then rushed to Scar's side. Tanuki's fur color looked like the perfect ghillie suit in the darkness.

Scarface couldn't find his whereabouts for a while.

With his proud skills, Tanuki managed to hold off three people at the same time.

The sheriff wasn't idle either.

It found the gray mouse as quickly as possible and helped it free all the remaining dogs. Before that, it also took the time to meet the black-skinned PE student.

"How are you?"

"I knew you'd come." The dark-skinned PE student lowered his head and gently touched Tanuki's head with the tip of his wet nose.

"Now is not the time for catching up. Can you still walk?" The sheriff stretched out his paw and patted its head.

"It can hold on for a while longer, but it can't go very far." Although the dark-skinned PE student looked to be in good spirits, the long-term abuse had taken its toll on his body.

"It's alright, I've arranged for people to meet us outside. As for the situation inside, Tanuki and I can still control it," the sheriff reassured it softly, but the black-skinned PE student was actually quite worried.

"Don't get too excited. This place is remote, quite a distance from the city. We can't go very far on our own." Its voice sounded a little hoarse. "More importantly, they have a car!"

The black-skinned PE student's concerns were not unfounded. If they waited for Scarface and his men to recover and then drove out to chase after them, at least half of the dogs would be caught again.

"Don't worry about this." The sheriff's face showed no surprise. "What you need to do now is simple: run. No matter what, get out of the old steel mill. There are people waiting for you outside. Split up and minimize the risk of being caught."

"As for the car, I'll handle that," the sheriff said in a deep voice, which carried an inexplicable power that made people want to trust him.

The black-skinned athlete said no more; it trusted the sheriff, just as the sheriff trusted it.

After a brief farewell, the dark-skinned physical education student forced himself to stand up and limped outside.

After the sheriff notified the mainland authorities in the group chat to meet him outside, he resolutely climbed into the truck bed.

Scarface was the first to react. In the blurry darkness, he watched the dogs scatter and roared at Skinny Monkey, "Forget about that damn cat! Get in the car and catch the dogs that are running away. Catch as many as you can, and then we'll send them away!"
