Chapter 2924: Chapter 2924: The Black Bear Appears
"His name is Wang Peng. So, what do you think? He’s our new recruit. Looks pretty good, right?" Zhou Wentong said smugly.
"Looks alright," Ding Fei said casually.
"Alright? From your tone, sounds like you’re jealous, huh, haha..."
Zhou Wentong said, "Let me tell you, Little Wang has been here for just over three months, and he’s already earned a third-class merit. Look around the entire Zhong Hai, you won’t find a second one."
"Achievements like that depend on opportunities; it’s not such a big deal."
Saying so, Ding Fei pulled Lin Yi to his side, "Look at our new recruit, his physical fitness is explosive. Even the old hands in my squad can’t match him."
Zhou Wentong glanced at Lin Yi, his expression showing little change.
"Just decent physical fitness, what’s the big deal? There are people like this every year, so don’t brag about it."
"I know you can’t stand seeing others do well. Just wait for the opportunity, we’ll prove ourselves on the task."
"Why bother? You’re just asking for trouble."
"No need for useless talk, let’s get to work."
After some verbal sparring, the group split into two, heading towards the fields in front and behind the village.
But after searching for a while, they couldn’t find any trace of the black bear.
"I guess it didn’t run this way; we can just stay here and watch," Ding Fei said.
"Squad leader, can we get something to eat? It’s past three, and I haven’t even had breakfast," Liu Qingfeng said.
"I’m hungry too," Ding Fei said.
"I saw a general store when we came in; take your clothes off and go buy something to eat."
"Alright."
Things were peaceful in the village, and Ding Fei relaxed even more.
There’s no trace of the black bear here, so the villagers aren’t in danger.
If it were elsewhere, a shot from the anesthetic gun would easily solve the problem.
So given the current situation, there’s practically zero risk, nothing to worry about.
The group leisurely headed towards the village entrance; Liu Qingfeng bought two loaves of bread, crunchy noodles, sausages, and mineral water to fill their stomachs.
"Squad leader, after checking the village, what do we do next? Are we going to stay here?"
"Just circle around nearby, don’t go too far. If something happens, we’ll be able to provide support."
"Alright."
"Stop talking about other stuff, let’s eat something, I’m starving."
The group divided up the items from their bags to fill their stomachs.
At that moment, a villager came over.
"So you’re firefighters, huh? If I knew it was you buying things, I wouldn’t charge you."
"You work hard for your money too; there’s no reason not to charge," Ding Fei said politely.
"Money should be earned rightly, but the money of firefighters and police shouldn’t be taken; I still have some conscience."
"Thanks, thanks, it’s what we should do."
"Don’t eat outside, come to my place. I’ll get you some other things."
"No, no, we’re fine with just eating a bite."
"How can it be random? Hurry up and follow me."
As he spoke, the villager called out, "What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and invite them in; we can’t let them eat outside."
Hearing the call, more villagers came over and pulled Ding Fei toward the general store.
Unable to resist the villagers’ enthusiasm, Ding Fei was pulled inside, and the rest of the third team had to follow.
The so-called general store was in a large brick house.
Inside, a variety of goods were sold; besides food, there were many daily necessities, giving it more of a general store vibe.
It could meet the basic daily living needs.
"Please sit for a while, I’ll make you something to eat."
"No, no, we really don’t need it; we still have tasks to do, we can’t waste too much time."
"Then I’ll get you something else, you should eat to your fill before you go."
"No need, we bought quite enough, it’s enough," Ding Fei said:
"Villager, don’t go yet, I want to ask you something."
"What is it?" the owner asked.
"Yesterday, a black bear escaped from the zoo and is on the hill behind the village. Have you seen it?"
"Ah? We haven’t seen it," the villager looked a bit scared, "That thing is pretty fierce, a single swipe can break a person’s bones."
"Indeed, so everyone should be careful."
"What’s that? Why’s there a black bear in the village!"
Upon hearing the exclamation outside, Lin Yi and others became alert and rushed out first.
They discovered a large, robust black bear leisurely wandering in the nearby field.
"Everyone back off."
Ding Fei called to the villagers, then picked up the walkie-talkie to call over the professionals.
Faced with such a thing, without professionals, it’s impossible to handle it solely by manpower.
At this point, Zhou Wentong and others also arrived, but none dared to act rashly.
If accidentally provoked, and it charges into the crowd, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Soon, the professionals arrived.
Those responsible for the live broadcast pointed their cameras at the black bear.
This stirred excitement in the livestream chat.
"Holy crap, it’s so big, at least one and a half meters long, right?"
"Wild ones are different indeed, much better than those in the zoo."
"If it slaps me, I would spiral into the sky."
"A few years ago, a large bull came to our village; three anesthetic shots didn’t work, and finally, the police had to shoot it."
"But the thing is, this bear is much more precious than a bull, they wouldn’t shoot it, right?"
"It depends on how they handle it; anyway, I feel the anesthesia might not work well, and it’s wild, much fiercer than a bull."
"Let’s not say anything and just watch the situation. It’s the first time I’ve seen something so big."
At this moment, the black bear in the field was surrounded by the crowd.
The police held an explosion-proof shield at the front, ready to react instantly if any accident happened.
"Is the anesthetic gun ready?" a middle-aged police officer, seemingly in charge of the operation, asked.
"Almost."
Soon, the anesthetic gun was prepared and aimed at the distant black bear.
Bang!
Without much hesitation, the anesthetic gun’s needle shot out!
Just as everyone thought the black bear would be subdued because of it, they unexpectedly saw the needle hit its body and fall to the ground!
"What happened?"
Everyone at the scene was bewildered; this wasn’t what they expected.
The person who fired looked through the binoculars and cursed.
"There’s a patch of mud on its body blocking the needle!"
