After returning from Egypt, Vladimir was in a good mood, because this trip could be said to have spread the seeds of the Meow Meow Doctrine to the remote areas of Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Although there were no obvious benefits and help to the cause of the Meow Meow Doctrine in the short term, he could look forward to the day when the seeds would burn the prairie.
Egypt was the bridgehead of Africa. With that as a fulcrum, it could move the whole of Africa, and it could even affect West Asia and Southern Europe.
This was like an idle chess move. It seemed ordinary and silent, but those with strategic foresight could hear a clap of thunder in silence.
Not caring about the gains and losses of one grid or one piece, but looking at the big picture!
However, this so-called "one grid, one piece," did not include Binhai City.
Although this was not the original birthplace of the Meow Meow Doctrine, the Meow Meow Doctrine was truly on the right track here. It could not easily give up the base it had painstakingly built.
Vladimir had already expected that the stray cats in Binhai City, who had just been baptized by the Meow Meow Doctrine, were not mature enough. After it left, they might be a little flustered, and they might encounter all kinds of problems. It was also expected that they would be harassed by stray dogs. After all, the food in the city was richer and fresher, and the stray dogs would definitely be more willing to pick up food in the city.
Before it left, it had told Big Orange and the others in detail, telling them to hold their positions and not to advance rashly. If the pressure was too great, they could carry out a strategic retreat, and the lost positions could be recaptured in the future.
But plans could not keep up with changes. Even Vladimir had not thought that this trip to Egypt would be so long, and there would be many twists and turns in the middle. It had almost been unable to return. When it returned to Binhai City, it found that … the world had changed.
After it left the pet shop in the morning, it quickly noticed something strange. The stray cats wandering on the streets seemed to have lost the consciousness of the Meow Meow Doctrine. They were not like before, where they monitored pedestrians every few steps. Instead, they were all in a panic, and they did not know how to use the secret signal when they saw it. A few of them even had injuries on their bodies.
After further observation, it found that most of the stray cats were wandering in the direction of the city center. In other words, they instinctively thought that the area in the city center was safer. They were like a group of defeated deserters who had lost the will to fight. They only knew to blindly escape in the direction away from the battlefield.
This was no longer a strategic retreat, but an unprecedented rout!
Vladimir stopped a few stray cats and wanted to ask for clarification, but these stray cats seemed to have been beaten silly. They either turned a blind eye to its inquiry, silently bypassed it, or panicked and gestured that they couldn't make out what was going on.
The unknown defeat caused Vladimir to panic, which was rare for it. It circled to the green space behind the pet shop because there were many stray cats there. There should be a few that were sensible, right?
What surprised it even more was that there were only a few cats left in the green space. Instead, there were buzzing mosquitoes and all kinds of caterpillars.
Vladimir had no choice but to bring the few cats he had encountered with him, and then gather the remnants along the way to find the commanders of the Wild Meow Army, hoping that they were safe.
It first ran to the beach and asked the stray cats it met along the way. Finally, it found Big Orange beside a dangerous beach.
Big Orange was injured in many places. He hid in a cave covered by weeds and licked his wounds, trying to soothe the pain. He heard movement outside and thought that the stray dogs had chased him here. He would rather die than live in dishonor. With a sharp roar, he jumped out of the cave, wanting to fight to the death with the stray dogs outside.
"Big Orange! You … "
Vladimir looked at Big Orange, who was covered in wounds, and his heart ached. He said with a trembling voice, "You … How did you become like this? Didn't I tell you to retreat immediately if you encountered a situation you couldn't win? "
When Big Orange saw Vladimir, it was as if he had seen his backbone. His tense nerves finally relaxed. He staggered and almost fell, but Vladimir and the stray cats he had brought with him held him up.
It gestured with its hands and explained the situation to Vladimir intermittently.
In the first few days after Vladimir left Binhai City, the stray cats' lives were as usual. However, one day, the situation changed. Big Orange and the stray cats suddenly found all kinds of stray dogs around them. Each of them had red eyes and were extremely fierce. They quickly surrounded the stray cats.
Under the sudden attack of the stray dogs, the stray cats were caught off guard. They were in a very passive situation, and it looked like they might be wiped out.
Big Orange had always been the most brave stray cat in battle. He could have run away first, and one or two stray dogs wouldn't have been able to stop him. However, in order to cover the stray cats' retreat, he chose to stay behind and fight the stray dogs' vanguard. Finally, he successfully covered the main force to break out of the encirclement. His whole body was covered in wounds, and even his hair had been scratched off.
After breaking out of the encirclement, Big Orange saw that his army was defeated. Almost every cat was injured, and there was no way he could take back the lost land. He knew that the dogs' sense of smell was too sensitive. If the stray cats gathered together, the stray dogs would definitely follow the smell and catch up to them. They would be surrounded again, so he ordered the whole army to break up and find a safe place to stay.
In order to let the other stray cats escape safely, he deliberately left his own urine along the way. He chose to expose himself and protect his companions, trying to lure the stray dogs to the beach.
He was ready to sacrifice himself. This would have been unimaginable to the Big Orange of the past, but he was willing to do it now. Ever since he got to know Vladimir, he had been influenced by Vladimir's profound thoughts, and his entire cat life had been elevated to a higher level. He chose to follow in Vladimir's footsteps firmly, willing to sacrifice himself for the Meow Meow Doctrine.
"Big Orange … you're really … too stupid!"
Vladimir, who knew the whole story, choked with sobs and couldn't speak. Big Orange just smiled honestly, as if what he did was natural.
Big Orange, who was injured and hiding in the cave, had almost lost his ability to move. He hadn't eaten well for a few days, and only relied on the rainwater that had accumulated between the rocks to sustain his life. Fortunately, he was fat and strong. If it had been another cat, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on. If Vladimir had arrived a day or two later, he might have only seen Big Orange's corpse.
Vladimir asked the other stray cats to help Big Orange up. He couldn't leave the seriously injured cat here to die. He had to think of a way to save it.
After thinking about it, only Zhang Zian could help him.
As for Vladimir himself, he had to find the whereabouts of the other stray cat commanders.
