Chapter 109
When they heard the word "bear", the faces of the other people changed, and so did the audience in the live broadcast room. The screen was filled with barrages of comments, and everyone was asking what to do, what to do?
"Chu's luck is so bad. There's a big snake in front and a bear behind. Does he have a grudge against animals?"
"Oh my god, desert bears! They sound like they're not to be trifled with. They've lived in the desert for years with a lack of food. My brothers and I are just being given an extra meal."
"Ah, never mind. We still have some distance to go. It's better to run first."
“Are there still bears in the desert?”
"Are there bears in the desert?" Su Huaichen asked the same question to the live broadcast room. Desert bears, this thing sounds very mysterious.
"Well, the desert bear is also called the Gobi bear. Its appearance is a good thing." Chu Huaiqin smiled.
"Brother, don't joke with me. Bears, blind bears eat people. Even tigers are afraid of them." The little monk was anxious. Having lived in the mountains since he was a child, the rumor he heard most when he was a child was that blind bears eat people.
"The Gobi bear is different. Its main food is vegetation, berries, and insects. It will not hurt people. It is a very precious protected animal. Its number in the world is very rare. Its main living area is the Gobi area. But how could it enter the desert area?" Chu Huaiqin felt strange.
Gravel deserts are called Gobi Deserts, and they sometimes merge with all-sand deserts. Gobi Deserts also have sparse vegetation, but they have an advantage over all-sand deserts in that the surface temperature is lower, and there are low-lying marshes. While water reserves are low, unlike in all-sand areas, there are pockets of water, and even salt pans.
After Chu Huaiqin's explanation, everyone suddenly understood.
"Brother, how come you know everything?" the little monk was surprised.
"I don't know everything, I just remember what I have seen." Although Chu Huaiqin is knowledgeable, most of it is just records he has read in books, and he has not experienced much in reality.
"Brother, do you remember everything you have seen?" Lin Zhinan asked hesitantly. She wanted to ask since she was very old.
"Yeah, I'll remember it once I've seen it." Chu Huaiqin nodded in response.
Lin Zhinan: "Once?"
Chu Huaiqin smiled, "Yeah!"
Several people at the scene: ...
Live broadcast room: ...
At this time, the teams at the front also discovered the arrival of the desert bear. Some were nervous, while others were excited.
"We can eat enough bear meat." It was Liman who spoke arrogantly, as if he had completely forgotten what the production team said before the show: wild animals should not be harmed.
"Liman, come on." The Kangaroos came out, eager to try, their mouths watering at the sight of the bear. The livestream had first heard Chu Huaiqin's science explanation, then heard these people's words, and now they were uneasy. Furthermore, the production team had previously stated that no wildlife should be harmed. Were these people stupid, or did they just have a short memory?
For a while, there was a barrage of criticism, and even the fans of their own team disagreed.
Behind the Sams were some other teams: the Camel and Sheep Team, the Double Eagle Team, and behind them were the Cuttlefish Team and the Black Hawk Team. They were still quite far away, and all they could see was a humanoid figure running towards them, its shoulders swaying as it walked. It felt like watching a horror movie.
In an instant, everyone's heart skipped a beat. They either thought they were hallucinating or that they might have run into something, and they prepared the anesthetic needle.
The atmosphere was tense for a moment.
Logically speaking, the program festival should not have interfered in this matter, but Gobi bears are too rare, with only 22 discovered in the world. If they were really injured by these people, Anthony would have no explanation.
"Attention all participants, avoid the path of the Gobi bear. Do not injure the bear. Move aside and let it pass."
This was the first time Anthony spoke since the start of the game. Those who were on guard were undoubtedly relieved, but those who wanted to eat bear meat were unhappy and cursed, but under the urging of the drone, they still retreated.
"Brother, let's retreat!" The little monk heard what the drone said and hurriedly pulled Chu Huaiqin.
"Don't be nervous, step back and let me take another look." Chu Huaiqin felt that something was wrong with the bear, as if it was being chased by something.
When Xia En heard that Chu Huaiqin was not going to retreat, he did not retreat either and asked Su Huaichen to take the two children away.
The Gobi bears were incredibly fast, and it took only a few minutes for them to approach from a distance. The howling bears, stirring up a cloud of dust, passed in front of the front line, and those who had previously worried about the bears attacking them breathed a sigh of relief. After all, the drones had instructed not to harm the bears and leave it to the crew. But if the crews failed, would they take action themselves?
The Gobi bear flew past one or two groups of people and headed towards Chu Huaiqin and the others.
But at this time, Chu Huaiqin did not avoid it, but looked at the bear with binoculars, and the more he looked, the tighter his brows frowned...
"Chu Huaiqin, get out of the way."
The director team saw Chu Huaiqin still standing in the middle in a daze and shouted hurriedly.
Chu Huaiqin frowned and said, "Wait, wait, I seem to see something."
"What is that?" Anthony shouted, not understanding what Chu Huaiqin was doing.
What was it? Chu Huaiqin didn't know. He seemed to see a snake at the bear's foot. No, was it a spider? A snake? Or a grass root?
Because the bear was moving so fast and there was dust rising, Chu Huaiqin couldn't see clearly.
The live broadcast room was boiling:
"Oh, did Chu discover something again? Haha, I'm Chu, I'm amazing, I always find things that ordinary people don't notice."
"Did he find anything wrong with the bear?"
"Is the captain of the Rolling Team trying to show off? The director team tried to move out of the way, but he refused."
"Maybe he wants to do something out of the ordinary to attract attention."
"Bullshit, there must be a reason for what my brother does. PS: I found that I became more violent after entering the global competition."
"What's the big deal? The global competition has started, and the audience here are not exactly clean. Let's just face it head-on."
Seeing the Gobi bear getting closer and closer, Anthony became anxious and urged Chu Huaiqin again and again. The director who was filming on the scene also ran up and pulled down his veil. Only then did everyone see clearly that the director who had been following Chu Huaiqin was actually Elena.
"Chu, leave quickly." Elena was very anxious. She had expressed her love for Chu Huaiqin in public a long time ago, and now she did not hide her worry at all.
Chu Huaiqin thought for a moment and said, "Ask the staff to stop the bear."
Elena: "What? Impossible, Chu, why are you stopping it?"
"I found something on its feet, and it seemed to be biting it." Chu Huaiqin really couldn't understand what it was.
"Is there something on your foot?" Elena put her hands on her hips and sighed, saying, "That's not something we can do."
"Why?"
"Let's not even talk about whether it will hurt people if it gets angry, we can't stop it."
"Anesthetic injection."
"What if what you said is wrong?"
This is what’s important, these bears are too precious and no one can afford if something goes wrong.
Anthony, behind the camera, heard Chu Huaiqin's words and flew the drone closer. The technician zoomed in to see if there was really something under the bear's feet. However, the Gobi bear was running too fast, and with the flying dust and strong sunlight, it looked like there was something there, but it was impossible to tell whether it was grass or sunlight reflection.
Anthony immediately asked the technicians to cut out the previous footage and enlarge it.
But it was too late, the bear was already running towards him.
Ten meters, nine meters, eight meters...
People in the live broadcast room and at the scene started shouting, yelling for everyone to run.
"Xia Entang, take her away." Chu Huaiqin also saw Xiong arrive and hurriedly asked Xia Entang to pull Elena.
He stood in the middle, watching the bear rushing towards him step by step. He raised the hand wearing the watch, and when the bear was about to get one meter close, the drunken needle on the watch was fired.
The Gobi Bear roared and paused. Chu Huaiqin took advantage of this opportunity to quickly run to the side with his hiking stick, staggering like a little old man, which was both sad and funny to watch.
Anthony was very worried. He hadn't found any results yet, but he had already taken action against Chu Huaiqin. If there was a problem, he would call Chu Huaiqin to make a movie and torture him.
“Ahhh!”
The Gobi bear let out a cry and continued running. It was so big that the anesthetic hadn't taken effect yet. The drone camera also caught its pause, finally making out what Huaiqin was saying, and it gasped.
“Ahhh!”
The Gobi bear, sedated by the needle, howled continuously. After running five or six meters, it suddenly shook violently and fell to the ground, its hands and feet trembling. The staff at the scene had no time to blame Chu Huaiqin and hurried over to see what was going on.
"Approach carefully, it has spider-tail snakes on its feet."
When Anthony's voice appeared on the drone, the staff on the scene gasped immediately. Those who rushed over retreated one after another, ran back to get tools, and then surrounded the area.
For a moment, the Gobi bear was surrounded by the program crew, and there was also a doctor nearby.
"Brother, what is a spider-tailed snake?" Lin Zhinan wanted to get closer, but was stopped by Chu Huaiqin.
"It's a venomous snake with a tail similar to a spider's. When hunting, it hides its head in the sand, moving its tail outside to lure prey. Gobi bears eat insects, and this might have been caught by a spider-tailed snake while hunting." Chu Huaiqin was quite worried about this Gobi bear. This type of bear is already very rare, and it looks like it had just reached adulthood. It would be a pity if it died like this. "But spider-tailed snakes are also very rare."
"Is it about protecting animals?" Lin Zhinan asked curiously.
The people in the live broadcast room were also very curious that there were such snakes in the world.
"Due to their rarity, humans have too little information available, and there are currently no reports on this matter." Chu Huaiqin wiped the sweat from his face, put down his backpack and sat down. He was walking in the desert, and the physical energy consumption was too great. Any movement was fatal.
Seeing that Chu Huaiqin was too tired, Xia Entang quickly walked behind him and let him lean against her. Lin Zhinan and the little monk held two fans and blew them at him. They didn't dare to cool him down, so they could only blow air.
The veterinarians and professionals from the director's team removed the spider-tailed snake and gave the bear simple treatment. Finally, after discussion, they decided to transport the Gobi bear away and release it after examination at the local veterinary hospital.
The crowd slowly dispersed, and Chu Huaiqin and the others stood up and prepared to set off.
Before leaving, Chu Huaiqin turned around and saw that the Gobi bear had not completely fainted. It was looking at Chu Huaiqin with half-closed eyes and making indistinct whimpering sounds from its mouth.
Chu Huaiqin waved to it and left with a few people.
