In the swamp at night, some strange calls can be heard from time to time, and no one knows what animal it is.
It sounds creepy.
But neither of the two people holding the giant python was in the mood to analyze what kind of animal it was.
Steve had a complicated expression. It wasn't that he didn't believe there were crocodiles here, but he was shocked that Feng Yi dared to come to such a place in the middle of the night. Didn't he know how dangerous it was to be near the water in the Everglades at night? !
During the dry season, the number of ponds decreases, and crocodiles gather in ponds with plenty of water. You can tell there are crocodiles in this place, and not just a few of them.
Looking at Feng Yi's body, it was obvious that he had rolled in the water.
How dare you!
If it were Cheng Si, Steve would scold him until he became autistic if he approached such a pond late at night.
But it happened to be Feng Yi.
It just so happens that this kid just caught a giant python.
A rare and extreme individual that he had always dreamed of catching! And it was a hybrid!
Is this reckless
Or... has he always underestimated Feng Yi's strength
Steve was confused.
Looking at Feng Yi with an inquiring look.
Seeing this, Feng Yi thought that Steve didn't believe what he had just said and was about to continue "making up stories".
Steve raised his hand holding the flashlight to stop Feng Yi from talking, "Don't talk for now, let me calm down."
One minute later.
I can't hold it anymore.
Steve asked again, "How did you control it? With your bare hands?"
Feng Yi had caught snakes with his bare hands too many times, so Steve asked out of habit. But then he felt it was impossible. It was not easy to subdue such a big python.
Feng Yi had thought about this question a long time ago.
"I used branches, but they didn't help much. I finally had to use my hands."
Steve shone the flashlight over there and saw a branch as thick as his 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, so Feng Yi could indeed break it off.
"This branch is fine for crocodiles, but it's fine for pythons... If you encounter this kind of situation next time, you should protect yourself first. Do you have a knife with you?"
"I did. I only wanted to capture him alive, so I didn't use a knife."
"Well, remember this for the future!"
"good."
If the python could understand and speak human language, it would definitely shout angrily at this moment: He is 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.
"You're really not hurt?" Steve asked again.
"Fortunately, there are no injuries or bleeding."
Feng Yi said this, raising the hand holding the flashlight to show Steve.
The mark that I just made with great difficulty will disappear if I don't show it to others.
The light was not good, so Steve could not see clearly. He glanced and saw no obvious bloodstains, so he said:
"Check it again carefully. You may have been too nervous just now and didn't pay attention to anything. Try to prevent the wound from being contaminated or infected."
"good."
Steve recovered some of his strength and came over to grab the python's head, asking Feng Yi to check the wound.
When changing positions, the giant python suddenly raised its head and opened its mouth wide, almost biting Steve's head. Fortunately, Steve had experience and held it tightly with both hands.
"It's fierce!" Steve exhaled.
When facing such a giant python, there is no room for negligence, otherwise you will be bitten.
Feng Yi paused and said, "Yeah, it was very fierce. Fortunately, the crocodiles consumed its fighting power."
"What a blessing!" Steve exclaimed.
Feng Yi continued to pretend to check his injuries. The backpack contained medicine bags prepared by the housekeeper, one for practical use and one for decoration.
Feng Yi opened the decorative medicine bag, sprayed and smeared it, regardless of whether there was any injury or not, just pretended to be injured. After returning, he would have to face some care, which was quite a test of his acting skills.
At times like these, it becomes apparent that having a private doctor is necessary. If you have a private doctor, you can handle some examinations more easily and can also provide cover.
well.
My medical laboratory...
My doctor...
When will it come!
Seeing Feng Yi remained silent for a while, Steve took the initiative to say, "Director He and his team should be here soon. He will take the opportunity to rush over first, and the vehicle to transport the python will be quickly arranged. Fortunately, it is not in Baizedi, otherwise it would be difficult to find a place to park the helicopter and the car."
The cypress swamp is a swampy area with cypress trees growing in it, also known as the forest swamp. They have searched the cypress swamp for the past two days and are now very close to it.
They couldn’t transport such a big python, which was still alive, back, so they could only wait for Director He’s arrangements.
Feng Yi thought of something at this time, "I'll take a video and send it to Cheng Si. When Director He and the others come later, it won't be convenient to take a close-up shot."
Steve also thought so. After 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 became increasingly obsessed.
"So beautiful! These muscles, these scales, these patterns~"
Feng Yi: “…”
For Steve, maybe this can also be considered as "looking at beauty under the lamp"
On the other side, the hotel where the media team is located.
Cheng Si finished the live broadcast tonight and went back to the hotel to hold a small team meeting. He was very tired and closed his eyes to rest.
Seeing this, the rest of the team also became quieter in their talking and packing.
Bang!
Someone pushed the door open forcefully. It was the person who had just gone out to buy a midnight snack.
The noise made the others frown, and they were about to ask him to be quieter.
The people who came in looked excited, "Something big must have happened in the swamp!"
After hearing this, no one else cared about anything else.
"What's wrong?" someone asked.
"I heard that there were three helicopters from the FGB, and they suddenly flew to the swamp! They looked very urgent. Three helicopters! Three!"
Since the python hunting activity began, even if there was something going on in the swamp, it was rare to see three helicopters dispatched at once. Even if there were, they were mostly rescue aircraft. However, the three helicopters were all helicopters of the Joint Security Bureau, not rescue aircraft. This was a big problem!
Either there is something going on somewhere else and they need help, so they are urgently transferred elsewhere.
Or, something big happened in the swamp, alarming the people from the Joint Security Bureau, so they sent three helicopters directly over there!
Although Cheng Si closed his eyes to rest, he did not fall asleep. The noise of the person pushing the door just now also made his fuzzy brain clear up a little, but he was still too tired to open his eyes and was too lazy to move. The other people in the team could take turns to rest, but he could not.
"The Joint Security Bureau won't play with us and will definitely not reveal any information to us. We need to first find out what happened and whether we need to follow." Cheng Si said while lying on the sofa with his eyes closed.
The team was divided.
"Don't even think about asking the Joint Security Bureau. See if you can get information through other channels."
"What are you still asking? Just follow them! It must be big news!"
"But it's hard to walk in the swamp at night. You can't 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 slowly and follow."
"Wow! I just got a tip from a local that a car belonging to the Florida Administration just entered the swamp! There's also movement at the research center! I don't know the details yet, but it's definitely a big deal!"
"Can you ask more clearly?"
"We are outsiders, and we are at a disadvantage. It is not easy for us to find out these things. We can also want to know more, but it takes time. In this kind of matter, time is money! A step slower means a loss!"
There was a lot of noise here, so Cheng Si put on his headphones and decided to take a nap.
"You guys discuss it first, and call me when you've decided."
Just as he put on his headphones and some soothing music started playing, Cheng Si's cell phone rang.
You can't hear any 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, and took out his cell phone to read messages.
Feng Yi sent me several videos and a text message:
Caught a cute one.
Cheng Si was shocked, clicked on a video, and then...
"Fuck!"
Cheng Si jumped up from the sofa almost instantly.
This video is so awakening.
Cheng Si broke out in a cold sweat and felt a chill on his scalp. He instantly became very clear-headed.
But at the same time, these videos contain so much information that after the shock comes the excitement!
With shaking hands, he sent a voice message to Feng Yi, his voice trembling: "Brother! You can't lie to me so late at night!"
Seeing this, the other members of Cheng Si's team came over to take a look, and they also screamed in surprise. They were more excited than scared.
If they had seen this kind of video in the past, their first reaction would be to find someone to verify its authenticity, as there are too many fakes in the age of traffic.
However, the person who posted this video is Feng Yi, and Steve is also in the video. These two people would not lie to them.
Combined with the news from the Joint Security Bureau and the Watershed Management Bureau, it is true!
Cheng Si looked at Feng Yi’s reply: I didn’t lie to you.
He asked about Feng Yi's location again, and after looking at the location, Cheng Si waved his hand:
"Let's go! Set off for the swamp immediately! Xiao Lu, put up a notice in the live broadcast room. I'll pack up and continue the live broadcast later..."
The team was allowed to get going, preparing cars, moving equipment, and making coffee, each doing their own job.
Although Feng Yi said that there was no need to enter the swamp now, the people from the Joint Security Bureau would take over, and even if they worked hard to rush over, they might not be able to take pictures. But, would Cheng Si give up
impossible!
He knew the style of the Federal Insurance Bureau too well. If they really waited until tomorrow, they would not have the slightest chance of getting close. They could only rely on reports from the Florida government and the Federal Insurance Bureau. How could they be competitive? !
The video materials Feng Yi provided are not enough!
"Shh! Everyone, keep your voices down when you go out, so as not to alarm other people on the same floor!"
"Understood! Quietly, quickly!"
Most of the people who live here are from the media. The more people who know, the more people who will grab the news. Regardless of whether they are domestic or foreign colleagues, they are all competitors!
Wait until Cheng Si and his group are ready and leave the hotel room.
Then discovered.
There were many figures in the corridor, moving stealthily, silently and quickly.
It stinks of "we're all in the same industry".
It seems that everyone has the same goal.
Cheng Si: “…”
They are not stupid.
Even if these people did not receive accurate information, even if they could not inquire from the Joint Security Bureau, if they had acquaintances in other local departments or research centers, they would be able to get some information.
Or just hearing about the changes in the Joint Security Bureau and the Research Center will make some people interested.
Don't underestimate the media's sense of smell and ability to act.
When there are too many people, the noise cannot be concealed.
When Cheng Si and his crew 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.
