Chapter 205 Requesting a Gun, A Strange Beast

"Meow~"

As if it had discovered something, Little Flower suddenly became alert and looked towards the east.

Suddenly, a pair of bright green eyes appeared on the meadow across the stream.

Little Flower's fur stood on end. It stood up, bared its teeth, and meowed.

A piercing scream instantly startled the two people on the bamboo mat.

"Little Flower, what's wrong?"

Little Flower's calls were different from usual.

Zhuang Mingcheng wiped his drool, turned around and picked up his pistol.

"Click".

Load the magazine, disengage the safety, pull the slide...

Zhuang Mingcheng executed the action flawlessly, gripping his pistol with both hands and warily surveying his surroundings.

Lu Fangfang did the same; she pulled out a dagger and then picked up an air gun from the side.

Following the direction Xiaohua was wary of, she could vaguely see two huge green eyes in the distance.

"Hiss~"

Lu Fangfang trembled all over, feeling as if she had seen a ghost.

Those two green eyes were as tall as a person. She swallowed and took a step towards Zhuang Mingcheng.

She wasn't afraid of wild beasts, but... but...

"Meow~"

"Awoo~"

The little Tibetan fox and the little flower both barked angrily towards the opposite bank of the river.

After a while.

"roar!"

In the distance, a roar finally came, and then the huge black shadow turned and ran into the distance.

"Mingcheng, what is this?"

Lu Fangfang frowned. Hearing the roar, she felt less afraid.

"Bear."

Zhuang Mingcheng silently let out a sigh of relief; he was in a bad mood.

A wild bear suddenly appeared near the camp.

There are many wild animals near the Qilian Mountains, but only brown bears are known to specifically attack or even eat people.

These creatures are incredibly fast runners, and their claws are specifically designed to slap people in the face. Every year there are bear attacks on people, which is no small matter.

"A bear? A Tibetan macaque?"

Lu Fangfang suddenly realized why the dark shadow looked so human; it was a bear.

It's really strange; this bear is really reckless, daring to wander around near the troupe's territory.

Every part of a bear is valuable; the county collects bear skin, bear gallbladders, and bear paws. Especially in those days, hunting bears was not illegal, and the commune would even commend you for it.

Seeing that Xiaohua had lay down and was no longer looking warily at the other side of the river, Lu Fangfang was relieved. It seemed that the Tibetan bear had gone far away.

She clutched Zhuang Mingcheng's clothes and quickly said:

“Mingcheng, look, even the bears are coming. You say the farm doesn’t need guns, do you think it will work? When you write the application tomorrow, you have to include this in the application. The farm needs to get guns as soon as possible.”

After hesitating for a moment, she decided not to request any other weapons, such as grenades, as they were still quite dangerous.
