After being universally criticized online, I went viral on military-themed variety shows.

Chapter 86 The Bear Cub's Mother Has Arrived

"I'll have Chi Song and Ji Xingchen go over there now..."

Li Chengxiao suddenly stopped speaking.

Viewers in the live stream also caught a glimpse of a massive white figure through the camera lens.

【My God, what is that?】

Could it be that the mother of the two bear cubs has come looking for us?

Quick, put the bear cub down and run!

Didn't they say they would give us a strong anesthetic injection?

It must be said that maternal instinct can be incredibly powerful at times.

I just want to know, can a human outrun a bear?

Can two-wheel drive compare to four-wheel drive?

Why don't we just use those two bear cubs as hostages?

The live stream chat was flooded with suggestions, and Li Chengxiao lowered his voice, his tone unusually trembling, "Behind you..."

"I noticed it." Jiang Hanying, holding the two bear-shaped ornaments in her hands, turned around without hesitation and came face to face with the large polar bear standing quietly not far away.

Perhaps sensing their mother's presence, the two little ones mustered the courage to stop pretending to be dead and began to call out softly, as if they were tattlering on someone.

What is Jiang Hanying trying to do? Is she confronting a polar bear?

I truly admire her courage. If I were facing something that big, I'd probably have fainted from fright by now.

A standoff seems feasible, but we can't just stay in a standoff all night, can we?

Even if the instructors rushed over now, it would probably be too late!

In my opinion, Jiang Hanying shouldn't have come.

Even if Jiang Hanying doesn't come, the mother bear will probably come anyway. She'll kill those two bastards, then leave with her cubs—a happy ending for everyone.

So, in a way, Jiang Hanying actually saved those two bastards' lives?

That's not necessarily true; it might just cost another life.

【What do we do now? This mother bear with cubs is so big; if she gets impatient and swats at us with her paw, we'll probably be dead on the spot!】

[This night was absolutely torture for my heart!]

Who isn't?

Jiang Hanying said her heart is okay.

It even walked towards the direction of the polar bear.

Li Chengxiao was terrified. He gritted his teeth and shouted again, "Jiang Hanying!"

"Don't move, I'll..."

Before he could even utter the words "hurry over there," Li Chengxiao noticed the mother bear suddenly retreating and was taken aback.

They quickly began to carefully observe the mother bear's condition again.

Many viewers in the live stream also noticed the mother bear's actions.

Could this bear-like quality actually be effective?

[It's definitely the mother bear protecting her cubs. Could even such a large bear be afraid of Jiang Hanying?]

[Since Xiong Zhi is effective, Jiang Hanying, you absolutely mustn't let go!]

Don't be afraid, little ones. After you're held hostage by the bear, we'll send you back to the mountains.

Jiang Hanying stopped when she was about a meter away from the mother bear.

This distance was enough for the bear, which is known for its poor eyesight, to clearly see the two-legged creature in front of it.

But it relies more on its sense of smell, hearing, and animal instincts.

The blurry figure in front of it gave it an extremely dangerous feeling.

Therefore, even though it was extremely anxious, it dared not rush forward to snatch its child back.

On camera, the tense audience watched as the mother bear suddenly tilted to the ground, exposing her belly.

What's going on here?

Is this a sign of weakness?

[Showing weakness to Jiang Hanying? This seems so fantastical. Is that bear really not a human in disguise?]

[The instructor's voice just now clearly showed emotional fluctuations; it's rare to see an instructor so nervous, so it's unlikely that it was an act.]

How do you explain this? Is it feigning weakness to lower the enemy's guard before launching a sudden attack? Does a bear have that much intelligence?

Believe it or not, it actually happens. You often see news reports of bears disguising themselves as humans and attacking people under the cover of night.

I've seen it too.

【Jiang Hanying, you must not let your guard down!】Jiang Hanying placed the one that was struggling the most in her left hand onto the mother bear.

The little guy, who was already starving, quickly started to replenish his food.

Once one is full, switch to another.

He didn't forget to pat the mother bear's head with his free hand: "Am I being kind?"

Mother bear: "..."

If it could speak human language...

After the two bear cubs had filled their bellies, Jiang Hanying held one of the smaller ones in each arm and leaned against the larger bear, looking incredibly comfortable and content.

The audience, watching her remarkably smooth sequence of actions, were completely at a loss for words.

There was a long silence on the screen.

I think I saw utter despair on the mother bear's face.

Anyone would feel utterly hopeless if they were used as a cushion!

I just want to know how Jiang Hanying dared to do that?

[Relying on the bear's hostage position?]

To be honest, even if I had a bear-like temperament, I wouldn't dare to do that.

Jiang Hanying looked up at the little bee that had landed in front of her. "Now I have a place to rest tonight, and I can also help keep an eye on those two over there. Perfect!"

Li Chengxiao, who was keeping a close eye on Jiang Hanying's movements, said: "...In any case, we still need to be careful."

"Don't worry, I'm going to sleep now. See you tomorrow morning."

After finishing her sentence, Jiang Hanying rested her head on the soft belly of the polar bear, closed her eyes, and began to rest with a carefree attitude.

On the contrary, Li Chengxiao and the viewers in the live broadcast room stared at the screen without daring to close their eyes.

Fearing that Jiang Hanying might fall asleep and let go of the bear cub, leaving her without the bear's body, she would be bitten by the 'resentful' mother bear.

*
It was almost 3 a.m.

Xi Ming finally stumbled and staggered to the campsite.

Seeing the instructors waiting outside who hadn't closed their eyes yet, he was so moved that he almost cried: "Reporting, instructor, I've arrived."

Li Chengxiao, holding the already hot equipment, nodded to him and briefly instructed, "Eat something and go into the tent to rest."

"Yes, Instructor."

After filling his stomach and entering the tent, Xi Ming unfolded his luggage, laid it out, and immediately fell asleep.

[My little brother finally arrived! He didn't give up, well done!]

Now it's just Yuan Chaoyu and Yun Shuihan left.

They were still about five kilometers from the campsite, and I had a feeling it would be dawn by then.

[If Yun Shuihan hadn't been taking care of Yuan Chaoyu, she probably would have arrived much earlier than Yu Feng!]

[It's his own business if he wants to take care of a goddess, what's it to you?]

[Wasn't Jiang Hanying already here? Why are there still so many people in her split screen?]

Instead of typing this, why not just click into the split-screen view and see why there are so many people here?

Many people who had left the split screen between Xi Ming and Yuan Chaoyu were provoked and impulsively clicked in. After being informed by the viewers who remained in the live stream what Jiang Hanying had done, they couldn't get out.

At five o'clock in the morning, the sky gradually brightened.

Li Chengxiao stretched his legs, which were a little numb from standing, and looked up at the two people who were helping each other walk over not far away.

"Instructor."

Yuan Chaoyu subtly brushed Yun Shuihan's hand away from his arm. "Did you wait for us all night?"

Li Chengxiao pointed towards the tent, "Have something to eat first and then go rest."

Seeing this, Yuan Chaoyu had no choice but to stop talking. She then politely thanked Yun Shuihan, who had helped her all the way, and went into the tent.

After Yuan Chaoyu and Yun Shuihan lay down, exhausted, another eight-person squad arrived at the camp, fully armed and with their faces completely covered.

The person leading the team suppressed his excitement and saluted Li Chengxiao, saying, "Instructor."

Li Chengxiao returned his salute, "Split up. Half of you take control of the four in that tent over there, and the other half come with me."

All eight answered in unison: "Yes!"

[FrogFun, is this the kind of screen I see for free first thing in the morning?]

[They don't even show their faces, they seem so mysterious!]

[Isn't this the squad the instructors were really waiting for?]
