Chapter 218: Chapter 174 Python Hunter_2

I can’t guarantee anything else, but when it comes to tails, Feng Yi would practice flipping his tail to get up every day at home—he’s become quite skilled at controlling it and exerting force.

"Put your clothes and pants aside, hurry up and change, and then we’re getting out of here," Steve said.

Staying in the swamp, they would definitely bring several sets of spare clothes, which had been in the car before. He came over in the evening, saw Feng Yi sleeping, placed the clothes beside him, and then left.

After changing into clean clothes and sitting for a while, Feng Yi and Steve, under the protection of the joint bureau’s people, beat a hasty retreat first.

Director He went back with them.

The sun had come out, and the swamp was beginning to warm up.

On the way back along the road, they could still see vehicles heading this way continuously; these were also coming after receiving the news, but they were too late to see the giant python today.

Or perhaps, these people knew they wouldn’t see the giant python, they were just trying their luck to see if they could also catch a giant python.

A possum hid in the branches, staring at the passing vehicles and the noisy people, as if curious about what these people were busy with.

Feng Yi and Steve were silent all the way, after all, with Director He in the car, the atmosphere was quite tense.

Back at the hotel in the residential area, Director He had arranged meals in advance.

"You’ve been busy in the swamp these days, and there was a lot going on last night; you must be hungry, eat first."

At the sight of Director He’s attitude, Steve immediately became guarded.

Full belly for a good scolding, huh!

However, Steve didn’t think he was the primary target for a scolding. After sitting down at the dining table, he cast a look of schadenfreude at Feng Yi across from him.

Then he realized, damn, the guy across from him was really into his meal!

His glance was damn wasted!

Seeing Feng Yi’s appetite, Director He knew he was really starving, swallowed what he had planned to say and instead, "Do you feel anything wrong with your body? Let the team doctor give you a thorough check."

"Really, I’m fine, just too tired and want to sleep; I didn’t sleep well last night," Feng Yi said.

After eating, Feng Yi even yawned again.

Director He watched him, fell silent for a long while, and then waved his hand at Feng Yi, "You go back to sleep first, take a bath and rest well."

Steve’s face was full of disbelief.

Double standards!

I had to write a pledge when I was dying of sleepiness!

The only difference was, back then, Director He noticed I hadn’t caught a giant python and had me brought back.

Director He asked Feng Yi to go back to rest first and stopped Steve, who wanted to leave with him, "You stay. I have a few words to say to you."

Steve: "...I’m also sleepy."

"It won’t delay your sleep, just two sentences."

In Director He’s eyes, Feng Yi was reckless and needed to receive an upgraded version of safety education, and Steve’s attitude of passing the buck also needed correcting!

He hoped Steve would lead more newcomers in the future, but how could Steve lead a team with his current attitude?

Steve followed Director He to "say a couple of words," while Feng Yi returned to his room.

He was truly tired, and his teeth were itchy. It was probably due to the increased energy consumption caused by the strengthening of venom glands.

Back in the room, Feng Yi took out a plastic bag from his backpack, in which his torn pants were stored, having been retrieved from the water and put in the bag.

Before Steve arrived at the scene, Feng Yi changed into pants that were the same model as the torn ones. When he "faked" it, his pants were covered in mud, weeds, and debris. The lighting was poor at that time, so Steve didn’t realize that Feng Yi had changed pants.

He hid the torn pants first, as it wasn’t convenient to dispose of them here.

Teeth itching, Feng Yi took out a shell he had prepared beforehand and started grinding his teeth while pondering things.

The giant python was caught; he could apply to settle the results of the event early. Yeah, he would submit an application to Director He after waking up.

With that plan, Feng Yi slept well.

After waking up, he was called by Director He and then received Director He’s safety education 2.0 version, which had longer classes and more after-class reflections to write.

He also talked to Director He about applying for early settlement of the results, and Director He did not oppose it, but he asked Feng Yi to finish the after-class reflections first. He would allow him to leave only if he felt satisfied with them.

At the same time, this was also a form of protection to keep Feng Yi from being harassed by the media. Now everyone was paying attention to this matter; the news of the seven-meter python caught in Florida had spread globally. Media aside, many people who planned to vacation elsewhere had changed their destination to Florida, just to come and see the python, and also to see the "Python Brother" who caught it.

Who knows how many people wanted to ride the hype wave! Taking advantage of the traffic while it’s hot!

For the next two days, Feng Yi stayed in his hotel room, writing after-class reflections and pledges. Steve didn’t fare much better; both stayed obediently in their rooms.

Many media wanted to interview them, but they tossed the matter to Director He, who turned the media down for them, saying they were too tired from catching the python and needed to rest for a few days.

Meanwhile, the number of hunters searching for pythons in the swamp at night also increased.

They believed that Feng Yi was just lucky, that the giant python was already injured, and with the temperature being lower at night, the pythons weren’t as active, and their stamina would decline, eventually leading to Feng Yi’s lucky catch.

Envy, jealousy, and hatred!

Therefore, they chose to stay overnight in the swamp, trying their luck as well.

Of course, they understood the dangers of the swamp and formed small groups of three to five. The swamp’s crocodiles wouldn’t show them any sympathy, and some people even encountered cougars and black bears.

Staying in his hotel room, Feng Yi also checked the news and updates on his phone during breaks.

The python affair was bigger than he had imagined.

Staying in the hotel and out of sight, rumors started that he was seriously injured and hospitalized.

Because of this, the old butler at home specially made a video call, then saw him sprawled over the table, halfway through writing a pledge.
