Closer to Revealing My True Self-Chapter 217 - 174 Python Hunter_1

Feng Yi was resting in the tent, and there were people walking around nearby, so even with headphones on, he could sense how many people were there and what was going on.

However, he was currently in a state of hunger, and his body had switched to energy-saving mode, which weakened his perception of his surroundings and reduced bodily consumption.

He had eaten something, but didn’t dare to eat too much, so he still felt hungry.

He closed his eyes and started thinking about the next steps.

Director He took time out of his busy schedule to stop by, and seeing Feng Yi lying there resting with his eyes closed, he thought Feng Yi was asleep and decided not to disturb him.

He called the team doctor and inquired about Feng Yi’s physical condition.

"Did he get hurt?"

The doctor said, "After a brief check before he went to sleep, there were no obvious wounds; he seemed to move normally and didn’t show any signs of internal injuries. Plus, Feng Yi himself said he didn’t feel any discomfort, just very exhausted. To be on the safe side, I suggested he get a thorough check-up after getting back."

"Hmm."

Knowing that Feng Yi was temporarily okay, Director He also felt relieved and went on to discuss with other people from the United Protection Bureau how to deal with the giant python.

Even though they were all part of the United Protection Organization, the domestic United Protection Bureau wasn’t so close with the local one, and there were disputes over how to handle the giant python. Fortunately, since Feng Yi had caught the python, they could secure more resources for their own team on some related research projects.

While Feng Yi was resting, Cheng Si was live streaming in the car.

The caravan was long, and due to the conditions at night, they weren’t driving very fast, but everyone in each car was busy.

Before the live stream, Cheng Si had edited and posted the video given to him by Feng Yi—they definitely had to seize the initiative!

They didn’t have the local advantage, nor were they official media, but who would let go of a chance to latch onto such a good opportunity?

The video hadn’t been online for long before it shot up to the hot search rankings.

Cheng Si had a decent fan base, and the content of the video was quite startling.

In the live chat room, many people were asking whether the video was real. Some would even start off with exaggerated descriptions like, "That has to be more than ten meters long!"

Cheng Si, reading the comments of the viewers, chose to respond:

"Of course this is real, just look at the caravan outside. All these media got the news and are heading into the swamp! The video was filmed by Brother Se, yes, that’s him with Steve... Definitely not ten-plus meters. People who have no concept of how long ten meters is can search for the titanoboa..."

While interacting with the audience in the live room, another helicopter flew overhead.

Cheng Si aimed the camera at the passing helicopter, "See that? Another one. Don’t know if it’s media or which bureau’s... Why don’t we fly a helicopter? Ha, no way, we don’t have the means for that and even if we could rent one, we couldn’t get in... but it’s okay, we’re not alone, there are so many colleagues on the road..."

"Let Brother Se do a live stream? No, he’s too tired from snake-catching tonight. Let Brother Se get some rest first. Catching such a big python definitely wasn’t easy... Pfft! Slide tackle? Slide into a python’s death squeeze?"

Cheng Si had sent a message to Feng Yi during a break earlier, but Feng Yi said that the United Protection Bureau’s people had already arrived, and the giant python was now in their hands. Feng Yi had gone to rest, so Cheng Si didn’t send any more messages.

It made sense—how could he not be tired after not sleeping all night and facing off with such a big python?

Cheng Si’s team showed him the latest news reported by the local media.

"It’s the media that followed the United Protection Bureau into the swamp by helicopter. They are indeed fast. The advantage of being local!"

Cheng Si muttered to himself but then grinned with satisfaction. Those people couldn’t get close enough to the python to film and were blocked by the United Protection Bureau; they only managed to interview Feng Yi.

Interview videos had already been moved to domestic social platforms by individual media. Those people were fast too.

It was midnight there, but it was daytime back home where there were plenty of people.

Cheng Si refreshed the page, and hundreds more comments appeared under the interview video:

"Brother Se really does look exhausted. It seems like catching the giant python was indeed not an easy task."

"Even fatigue can’t hide his good looks! I still think it’s a pity he’s not in the entertainment industry!"

"He wasn’t popular when he was in the entertainment circle, but now he’s left and has been gaining more and more fame."

"Rumor has it, he was about to make it big in the entertainment circle but got screwed over by someone, which is why he left."

Cheng Si occasionally interacted with the fans in the live room, checked social platforms when he had a moment, or contacted others to get more information.

Feng Yi was unaware of what was happening online; his phone was set to do not disturb and didn’t alert him to new messages. Initially, he had thought about the following arrangements, but he eventually dozed off in a daze.

When he woke up, the sky was already faintly bright, and it was even noisier outside.

He didn’t immediately lift the tent flap to go out. He just knew there would be many reporters outside.

Feng Yi sent a message to Steve, and after a short while, Steve came in, with sweat beading on his forehead.

"Don’t go out yet, there are a lot of reporters outside, and quite a few contestants as well, all asking way too many questions, driving me crazy."

"How’s the situation with the python?" asked Feng Yi.

"It’s been moved. The research center sent experts with a specialized transport vehicle. They’ve already set up a temporary enclosure at the research center. And I heard them say that they’re planning to build a new, especially large enclosure, specifically designed to facilitate the study of its behavior patterns."

"The python itself doesn’t have any issues, right?"

"It’s okay. It underwent a check-up as soon as it arrived at the research center. It does have some injuries, but nothing too serious. Probably got them fighting with the crocodile."

"... Alright."

Feng Yi had used a certain finesse when whipping with his tail, perhaps injuries couldn’t be avoided, but they weren’t fatal.
