When Cats Own Superpower Chapter 46: The Arrest

Editor: Sparrow Translations

Lin Chen finally recovered from his initial shock of knowing the existence of supercats. He had an epiphany and imdiately asked Inspector Ho, "Don’t tell the person who attacked ..."

"Superpower huh," Inspector Ho continued, "Supercats can lend their power to humans. In terms of physique and their dexterity, cats are still lagging behind humans. For example, humans will always have a heads up in operating guns, bombs, cars or even airplanes.

Hence, a human can use the power he borrowed from a cat more proficiently.

The Aricans who have borrowed the superpower from supercats are known as the Apostles. However, they can only borrow one power at any instance."

"Aricans?" Lin Chen asked, "These supercats are created by the Aricans?"

"No. Until now, nobody knows who created these supercats. However, we do know that this is a global phenonon which is not exclusive to China. Consequently, countries have developed their respective plans to address this problem."

Lin Chen recalled reading a news article and asked, "The incident at Wall Street..."

"A few Aricans and the apostles are behind it," Inspector Ho replied with no intention of hiding the truth from Lin Chen. This was possibly due to the security clearance that Lin Chen had obtained, and Inspector Ho had regarded him as an ally. "The Aricans are used to being the world’s sole superpower. There is nothing they will not do to cats to retain their position as the hegemon.

A large number of supercats and apostles have been caught for experintation. I’m sure there will be an uproar soon.

I heard that the target for the Wall Street incident was a high ranking executive. However, the executive had a gun with him, and he was quite good with his gun which resulted in the tragedy."

Lin Chen was listening as he glanced at Milk and asked, "How about us?"

"Our leaders are smarter than the Aricans. The Aricans are too straightforward in their approach. Unlike them, our leaders know how to get things done." After his attempt at bootlicking, Inspector Ho continued, "Currently, our country’s plan is guided by the principle of differential treatnt.

We would be extrely friendly and accommodate to the majority of the apostle population and supercats who were neutral. If need be, we could even take care of them without conditions.

We would not bother the apostles if they used their power for petty cris instead of arson or murder. We would rather have a friend than an enemy.

However, there was one small group of supercats and apostles who want to destroy the peace and harmony that the human race and cats had enjoyed since ti immorial.

Our higher-ups were extrely concerned about this group of people and cats. This was especially so after what had happened in Arica, and this had resulted in a demand for quick and firm action to be taken against them. You would be part of our next course of action."

"B... Bu... But..." Lin Chen stamred, "How about the rest of the citizens? Do we keep them in the dark?"

Inspector Ho replied, "Supercats are still a minority among all cats. Based on our latest Intel, only cats that have not been sterilized can awaken their superpower.

Thank goodness most of the cats have been sterilized. Most of the cats that have had their superpowers awakened are stray cats, and their number is minuscule. Hence, the public still does not know much about this. Most of the supercats related incidents have been labeled as supernatural happenings or just fake news."

Suddenly, Inspector Ho looked at Lin Chen and asked, "Co, let’s test your abilities."

Jianghai city’s threat level had gone up over the next few days. Even Zhao Yao noticed reports of skirmishes all over the news.

However, Zhao Yao was clueless as to the cause of these incidents.

Over the next few days, he occupied himself with daily missions, refining his culinary skills, and honing his power. Every night, he would bring Elizabeth out for patrols. Both his BOOK and the cats’ experience had increased. His ability to stop and control ti had improved remarkably, with the margin of error dropping to below 0.3 seconds.

However, he did not manage to et new supercats, and he was unsure if it was due to the governnt’s actions.

At the sa ti, the police had found the cat that they wanted.

...

At 9 pm, a large group of civilians was taken away by a mysterious force in a small suburb.

The middle-aged man was at his dining table, with his head buried in chunks of at as he devoured the food before him.

Suddenly, a loud bang was heard, and the middle-aged man was blasted away by an extraordinary force. He lay on the floor with blood streaming out from the wound on his chest.

"Success."

"Get the second team on standby."

"Snipers, get ready."

A team of policen clad in bulletproof vests entered the building via the roof. They fired a few shots, smashed the windows and dashed into the room.

At the sa ti, another group of ard police entered via the hole left behind by the security door that was blown apart by the explosion. They were ard with assault rifles and were extrely nimble in their movents.

anwhile, both Inspector Ho and Lin Chen were in the commanding vehicle watching as the scene unfolded. Lin Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the target lying on the floor, lifelessly. Lin Chen muttered, "A 12.7mm armor-piercing bullet, even an elephant would be destroyed by it."

Inspector Ho cautioned Lin Chen, "Do not let your guard down. The target is extrely brutal, and he can mutate his body..."

Inspector Ho was cut off by a gut-wrenching scream coming from the video footage.

The caras installed on the ard police started to shake vigorously and suddenly the body lying on the floor previously vanished.

They noticed a shadow that was mutating in shape. It was followed by a human figure zooming past the caras. Suddenly, the policen looked as if they were attacked by an invisible force and fell onto the floor, motionless.

It was followed by more gunshots and screams of despair which ended with an explosion and a flash.

In a matter of a few minutes, they had lost communication with every single police officer within the building.

Inspector Ho stared at the footages solemnly when Lin Chen interjected, "I’ll go."

"Wait," Inspector Ho grabbed onto his shoulders and commanded, "Teams 4, 5 and 6 maintain your firepower and get ready to infiltrate the building. Snipers lock onto the target and fire at will."

Inside the building, the middle-aged man was examining the large cavity on his chest. His bones and flesh were wriggling around to seal his wound. This was the power of regeneration.

Even though his muscles and bones have been strengthened to their biological limits, the armor piercing bullet used by the police were still able to inflict a significant amount of damage on him.

If not for his power of regeneration, he would have died in that instance. He was boiling with anger and fury at the thought of it.
