Chapter 172 Don’t Alarm Others
In the night of the swamp, some strange calls were heard from time to time. I don’t know what kind of animal it is.
It sounds creepy.
But the two people who caught the giant python were not in the mood to analyze what kind of animal it was.
Steve had a complicated expression. It was not that he didn’t believe there were crocodiles here, but he was shocked that Feng Yi dared to run to such a place in the middle of the night. In the swamp area, how dangerous it is to get close to the water at night? !
In the dry season, the number of ponds has decreased. Crocodiles are concentrated in ponds with a lot of water. It is obvious that there are crocodiles in this place, and there are not a few.
Look at Feng Yi’s body again. It is obvious that he has rolled in the water.
So damn bold!
If it was Cheng Si, Steve would scold him to autism for getting close to such a pond in the middle of the night.
But it happened to be Feng Yi.
And this kid just caught a giant python.
A rare extreme individual that he dreamed of catching! And it was a hybrid!
Is this reckless?
Or... he has always underestimated Feng Yi's strength?
Steve was confused.
He looked at Feng Yi with an inquiring look.
Feng Yi saw this and thought that Steve didn't believe what he just said, and was about to continue "making up stories".
Steve raised his hand holding the flashlight and stopped Feng Yi from talking, "Don't talk for now, I'll calm down."
One minute later.
He couldn't hold it anymore.
Steve asked again, "How did you control it? Barehanded?"
Feng Yi had caught snakes with his bare hands so many times, Steve habitually asked, but after saying it, he felt it was impossible, it was not easy to control such a big python.
Feng Yi had thought about this problem a long time ago.
"I used a branch, but it didn't help much, so I used my hands in the end."
Steve shone the flashlight over there, and there was a branch as thick as a forearm floating on the pond, and the tree by the water also had obvious signs of being broken.
The broken end was not too high from the ground, and Feng Yi could indeed break it off.
"This branch is OK for crocodiles, but for pythons...in the future, if you encounter this kind of situation, you should protect yourself. Did you bring a knife?"
"Yes. At that time, I only wanted to catch it alive, so I didn't use a knife."
"Okay, remember this for the future!"
"Okay."
If the giant python could understand and speak human language, it would definitely yell angrily at this time: He's talking nonsense!!!
Steve never dreamed that the person next to him was not an ordinary person, and he would never have thought of the way Feng Yi caught the giant python.
"Are you really not injured?" Steve asked again.
"Fortunately, there are no injuries and no bleeding."
Feng Yi said, and raised the hand holding the flashlight to Steve.
The fake marks that were made on the hand just now would disappear if he didn't show it to others.
The light was not very good, and Steve couldn't see clearly. He glanced and didn't see any obvious bloodstains, so he said:
"Check it carefully again. You may have been too nervous just now and didn't pay attention to it. Prevent contamination of the wound or infection."
"Okay."
Steve recovered some of his strength, came over and grabbed the giant python's head, and asked Feng Yi to check the wound.
When the change of people pinched the head, the giant python suddenly raised up, opened its mouth wide and almost bit Steve's head. Fortunately, Steve had experience and held it tightly with both hands.
"It's very fierce!" Steve exhaled.
Facing such a giant python, there is no room for negligence, otherwise it will be bitten.
Feng Yi paused and said, "Well, it's very fierce. Fortunately, the crocodiles have consumed its fighting power."
"How lucky!" Steve sighed.
Feng Yi continued to pretend to check the injury. The backpack contained the medicine bags prepared by the housekeeper, one for practical use and the other for decoration.
Feng Yi opened the decorative medicine bag, sprayed and applied it, regardless of whether there was any injury or not, just pretended to do it first. After returning, he will have to face some care, which is quite a test of his acting skills.
At this time, the need for a private doctor can be seen. If there is a private doctor, it can be easier to deal with some examinations and can also provide cover.
Alas.
My medical laboratory...
My doctor...
When will he come!
Seeing Feng Yi didn't say anything for a while, Steve took the initiative to say, "Director He and his team should be here soon. He will take the plane first, and the vehicle to transport the giant python will be arranged quickly. Fortunately, it's not in the cypress swamp, otherwise it will be difficult for the helicopter and the car to find a place to park."
Cypress swamp is a swamp area with cypress trees, also known as forest swamp. They have searched in the cypress swamp in the past two days, and now they are very close to it.
Such a big python is still alive. They can't transport it back, so they can only wait for Director He's arrangement.
Feng Yi remembered something at this time, "I'll take a video and send it to Cheng Si. When Director He and his team come later, it won't be convenient to take a close shot."
Steve also thought so. When Director He and his team came, they must have brought someone to take over the giant python. It would not be so easy to get so close to it again.
Looking at the giant python in front of him, Steve's eyes gradually became obsessed.
"It's so beautiful! These muscles, these scales, these patterns~"
Feng Yi: "..."
For Steve, maybe this can also be regarded as the hazy beauty of "looking at beauty under the lamp"? No, even in broad daylight, Steve would find this giant python stunningly beautiful!
On the other side, the hotel where the media team is staying.
Cheng Si finished the live broadcast tonight and returned to the hotel to attend a small team meeting. He was very tired and closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing this, the other team members also spoke less and packed up.
Bang!
Someone pushed the door hard and came in. It was someone who had just gone out to buy supper.
This movement made everyone frown, and they were about to ask him to be gentle.
The person who came in looked excited, "Something big must have happened in the swamp!"
Hearing this, others didn't care about anything else.
"What's wrong?" someone asked.
"I heard that there were three helicopters from the UN Security Bureau, suddenly flying to the swamp! It seemed quite urgent. Three helicopters! Three!"
Since the beginning of python hunting, even if something happens in the swamp, it is rare to see three helicopters dispatched at once. Even if they do, they are mostly rescue planes. However, the three helicopters are all United Nations Security Bureau helicopters, not rescue aircraft, so there is a big problem!
Either there is something going on elsewhere and manpower is needed, so they can be dispatched elsewhere urgently.
Or, something big happened in the swamp, which alerted the people from the Joint Security Bureau, and sent three helicopters directly there!
Cheng Si rested with his eyes closed and did not fall asleep. The sound of someone pushing the door just now made his fuzzy brain sober up, but he was still too tired to open his eyes and too lazy to move. Others in the team can take turns to rest, but he can't.
"The Joint Security Bureau won't take us to play, and they will definitely not reveal the news to us. First, we need to find out what happened and whether we need to follow." Cheng Si lay on the sofa and closed his eyes.
People on the team were divided.
"Don't even think about asking the Federal Security Bureau. See if you can get the information through other channels."
"What are you asking about? Just follow me! It must be big news!"
"But the swamp is difficult to walk at night. Cars don't dare to drive fast, and the helicopter won't wait for you. How can you follow?"
There are roads in the swamp, but there are no street lights.
"Then drive slower and follow."
"Wow! I just got news from a local that the Florida Water Management Bureau's vehicle just entered the swamp! There is also movement at the research center! I don't know exactly what it is, but it must be a big deal!"
"Can I ask more clearly?"
"We outsiders have obvious disadvantages. It is not easy to find out these things. You can know more, but it takes time. In this kind of matter, time is money! If you are slow, you will lose!"
There was a lot of noise here. Cheng Si put on his headphones and planned to squint for a while.
"You guys discuss it first and decide to call me."
As soon as he put on his headphones, the gentle music started, and Cheng Si's cell phone rang.
There is no sound when wearing headphones, but new message notifications are accompanied by vibration reminders. Different contacts have different vibration reminders.
This movement...
Cheng Si took off his headphones, opened his eyes with difficulty, took out his cell phone and scrolled through messages.
Feng Yi sent several videos and a text message:
【Caught a big cutie. 】
Cheng Si was shocked, clicked on a video, and then...
"Fuck!"
Cheng Si jumped up from the sofa almost instantly.
This video is so refreshing!
A layer of cold sweat broke out on Cheng Si's back, and his scalp felt cold. Instantly sober.
But at the same time, these videos contain too much information, and after being frightened, they are excited!
Cheng Si's voice was trembling as he started to send a voice message to Feng Yi with trembling hands: "Brother! You can't lie to me this late at night!"
When other members of Cheng Si's team saw this, they hurriedly came over to take a look, and they also screamed in surprise. More excited than scared.
If they saw this kind of video in the past, their first reaction would be to find someone to verify the authenticity. In the era of traffic, there are too many fakes.
However, the person who posted this video was Feng Yi, and there was Steve in the video, so these two people would not lie to them.
Let’s contact the news from the Joint Security Bureau and the Water Management Bureau just mentioned. That’s right! It’s absolutely true!
Cheng Si looked at Feng Yi's reply: [I didn't lie to you. 】
He asked Feng Yi's location again, looked at the position, and waved his hand:
"Let's go! Set off for the swamp immediately! Xiao Lu, put a notice in the live broadcast room. I'll clean up and continue the live broadcast later..."
The team got up and running quickly, and everyone who prepared cars, moved equipment, and made coffee performed their duties.
Although Feng Yi said there was no need to enter the swamp now, as people from the Joint Security Bureau would take over, even if they rushed through, they might not be able to take any pictures. But, will Cheng Si give up?
impossible!
He knew the style of the Federal Security Bureau very well. If he waited until tomorrow, they would have no chance of getting close. He could only watch the official reports from Florida and the Federal Security Bureau. Then how can they be competitive? !
The video material Feng Yi provided is not enough!
"Shh! Keep your voices down when you go out, don't disturb other people on the same floor!"
"Understood! Quietly, quickly!"
Most of the people living here are media people. The more people who know something, the more people grab the news. Domestic and foreign counterparts are all competitors!
When Cheng Si and his group were ready, they left the hotel room.
Then I found——
There are many figures in the corridor who are tiptoeing, silent and moving quickly.
The brief glances intertwined were tentative and defensive, exuding the smell of "the same industry".
It seems that everyone has the same purpose.
Cheng Si: "..."
Not stupid.
Even if these people don't receive exact information, even if they can't get it from the Joint Security Bureau, if they have acquaintances in other local departments or research centers, they can still get some information.
Or if you just inquire about the changes in the Joint Security Bureau and the Research Center, someone will be tempted.
Don’t underestimate the sense of smell and action of media people.
When there are more people, the movement cannot be concealed.
When Cheng Si and his team set out, there were cars in front and behind them. The convoy was like a long, glowing snake, driving into the swamp under the cover of night.
