Chapter 2924: Chapter 2924: The Black Bear Appears
"His name is Wang Peng. So, what do you think? Heās our new recruit. Looks pretty good, right?" Zhou Wentong said smugly.
"Looks alright," Ding Fei said casually.
"Alright? From your tone, sounds like youāre jealous, huh, haha..."
Zhou Wentong said, "Let me tell you, Little Wang has been here for just over three months, and heās already earned a third-class merit. Look around the entire Zhong Hai, you wonāt find a second one."
"Achievements like that depend on opportunities; itās 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 canāt match him."
Zhou Wentong glanced at Lin Yi, his expression showing little change.
"Just decent physical fitness, whatās the big deal? There are people like this every year, so donāt brag about it."
"I know you canāt stand seeing others do well. Just wait for the opportunity, weāll prove ourselves on the task."
"Why bother? Youāre just asking for trouble."
"No need for useless talk, letās 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 couldnāt find any trace of the black bear.
"I guess it didnāt run this way; we can just stay here and watch," Ding Fei said.
"Squad leader, can we get something to eat? Itās past three, and I havenāt even had breakfast," Liu Qingfeng said.
"Iām 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.
Thereās no trace of the black bear here, so the villagers arenāt in danger.
If it were elsewhere, a shot from the anesthetic gun would easily solve the problem.
So given the current situation, thereās 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, donāt go too far. If something happens, weāll be able to provide support."
"Alright."
"Stop talking about other stuff, letās eat something, Iām starving."
The group divided up the items from their bags to fill their stomachs.
At that moment, a villager came over.
"So youāre firefighters, huh? If I knew it was you buying things, I wouldnāt charge you."
"You work hard for your money too; thereās no reason not to charge," Ding Fei said politely.
"Money should be earned rightly, but the money of firefighters and police shouldnāt be taken; I still have some conscience."
"Thanks, thanks, itās what we should do."
"Donāt eat outside, come to my place. Iāll get you some other things."
"No, no, weāre 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 canāt let them eat outside."
Hearing the call, more villagers came over and pulled Ding Fei toward the general store.
Unable to resist the villagersā 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, Iāll make you something to eat."
"No, no, we really donāt need it; we still have tasks to do, we canāt waste too much time."
"Then Iāll get you something else, you should eat to your fill before you go."
"No need, we bought quite enough, itās enough," Ding Fei said:
"Villager, donāt 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 havenāt seen it," the villager looked a bit scared, "That thing is pretty fierce, a single swipe can break a personās bones."
"Indeed, so everyone should be careful."
"Whatās that? Whyās 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, itās 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, itās 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 didnāt work, and finally, the police had to shoot it."
"But the thing is, this bear is much more precious than a bull, they wouldnāt shoot it, right?"
"It depends on how they handle it; anyway, I feel the anesthesia might not work well, and itās wild, much fiercer than a bull."
"Letās not say anything and just watch the situation. Itās the first time Iāve 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 gunās 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 wasnāt what they expected.
The person who fired looked through the binoculars and cursed.
"Thereās a patch of mud on its body blocking the needle!"
