Chapter 55
Without much hesitation, Shi Wen decided to go and search for the lost brown bear.
Since he is of Qilin Bloodline and has the ability to find brown bears, he believes he should shoulder the corresponding social responsibility.
On the way to the N City Zoo, Shi Wen asked Zhou Hongzhong for information about the lost bear.
Zhou Hongzhong was well-prepared; upon hearing his question, he immediately opened the information on his phone to show him.
Zhou Hongzhong: "This is an adult Eurasian brown bear, a male. Last time it was weighed, it weighed a whopping 596 jin (248 kg)."
"So heavy!" Shi Wen exclaimed immediately upon seeing the picture. "Heavier than an adult tiger."
Zhou Hongzhong: "Yes, that's why it's extremely dangerous."
Looking at the brown bear in the picture, Shi Wen asked, "Does it have a history of attacking humans or any intention to do so in the zoo?"
Zhou Hongzhong: "Not yet. After entering the zoo, it became quite agitated and seemed to neglect the humans."
Shi Wen at the existing information, Shi Wen couldn't figure anything out.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll talk to Yan Kexing first and see if he has any suggestions. Have you prepared the necessary weapons? Tranquilizer guns and other firearms, etc."
Zhou Hongzhong: "Everything is ready."
Shi Wen, "Then let's set off."
Shi Wen made a special phone call to Yan Kexing on the way to tell him.
Yan Kexing told him to be careful in everything.
Shi Wen seriously agreed.
Arrived at N City Zoo.
Several zoo leaders were present, and the person in charge, looking distressed, explained to Shi Wen, "This is our first time taking in a brown bear, and we don't have much experience. To help it live better, we even opened up the panda enclosure, but we never expected it to escape."
I'd wanted to ask that before I even Shi Wen: "How did such a huge beast escape?"
"Climbing trees." The person in charge made a climbing gesture. "Brown bears are expert tree climbers. They're quiet during the day, but at night when there are few people around, they run up the trees."
The person in charge showed the video to Shi Wen and the others.
Shi Wen see the true face of this "brown bear." Its name is brown bear, but its fur is actually brownish-brown.
It looks large, with bulging shoulders, and moves rather slowly. Its round ears and relatively round head make it look quite adorable.
However, the next part of the video quickly shattered Shi Wen's perception.
The brown bear walked to the tree, stood up, and climbed the tree on all fours. It took only six seconds to climb from the base to the top, which is faster than most humans.
Shi Wen couldn't help but turn to look at the person in charge. "Is the speed in this video real-time?"
The person in charge nodded. "Yes. That's how easily the brown bear climbed the tree, jumped from one tree to another, leaped over the high fence, and ran away."
To be honest, even the person in charge felt heartbroken.
Who knew that such a wild beast weighing nearly 600 pounds could be so agile?
Their fence was over five meters high, yet the brown bear still escaped. Can they be blamed?
Shi Wen about visiting the temporary enclosures where brown bears were kept for observation.
The bear enclosure is quite large, about 200 square meters. In addition to several large trees for the animals to climb and play in, there are also artificial mountains, ponds, seesaws and other recreational facilities.
Judging from these facilities, the zoo seems to treat the animals quite well.
Shi Wen observed the surroundings and focused his attention on the tree the brown bear had climbed.
This tree must be over fifteen meters tall, making it a rare large tree with a thick trunk.
He looked up, then reached out and touched the deep claw marks on the tree trunk. Suddenly, he hugged the tree and climbed up easily.
Zhou Hongzhong was startled. "Shi Wen, you--"
Shi Wen voice came from beside the branches. "I'll try to simulate the brown bear's escape route to see if I can get any inspiration. You guys follow me."
Zhou Hongzhong: "Okay, be careful."
The person in charge's lips moved, and he was about to say that the zoo's surveillance system was extremely comprehensive, and that the brown bears' activity routes within the zoo had been completely captured on camera. However, seeing Zhou Hongzhong's focused gaze at Shi Wen, he swallowed his words.
He smelled the distinctive scent of a brown bear while Shi Wen the tree, and he even found some shed brown bear fur on the tree.
He didn't realize it when he was standing under the tree, but once he climbed to the top, his field of vision widened considerably.
With just one glance, he identified the brown bear's second footsteps—deep claw marks were also visible on the tree opposite.
Shi Wen tensed his waist and abdomen, exerted force with his legs, and jumped directly onto the tree opposite.
He jumped over two trees, landed on the barbed wire fence, grabbed the top of the fence, and with a slight effort, flipped himself over it.
The person in charge below was very excited. "Yes, yes, that's how the brown bear flipped over. Watch the next video."
Zhou Hongzhong and the others had already seen the video and had no interest in watching it a second time. "Let's go out and take a look."
After Shi Wen over the barbed wire fence, it was clear that brown bear paw prints were visible.
Its weight was so great that it left very clear marks on the soil.
When Zhou Hongzhong and the others caught up, Shi Wen said, "Shall we continue?"
Zhou Hongzhong nodded. "Thank you for your hard work."
Shi Wen you can clearly see the brown bear's escape route—hair, footprints, and even secretions like urine.
The air also carries the scent of brown bears, especially where they have passed through.
Shi Wen led his men on a search.
The zoo's management initially felt that his actions within the park were unnecessary and made things complicated.
Once outside the zoo, Shi Wen continued moving at the same pace, which gradually surprised the person in charge.
This isn't some young man; he's clearly a seasoned hunter!
No, even hunters aren't as experienced as him!
Seeing Shi Wen's actions, the person in charge dared not speak.
