Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Bears on the Loose

Song Yi’s eyebrows were tightly knotted, an expression that only appeared during an emergency.

"What’s going on?"

"Not sure, I’ll go out and take a look. Jhiang Yuan, hurry back to your room and don’t come out at all."

With that, he pulled her out the door.

"Song Yi, what are you going to do? It’s none of your business."

The sound of the alarm outside was urgent, Jhiang Yuan was also scared, and now was definitely not a wise time to go out.

"Have you forgotten? I’m on duty. Don’t worry."

With that, he escorted her to the door.

Jhiang Xingzhi heard the noise and also came out. He was looking for her.

"Yuanyuan, Xiao Song, what’s the matter?"

Not just him—a lot of people in the building had come out.

"Hurry back inside! Everyone, close your doors and windows tightly, don’t open them for anything!

Everyone..."

The person on duty downstairs came out holding an electric baton, shouting from below.

Song Yi also looked at Jhiang Yuan: "Get inside quickly, we’ll talk when I get back."

She didn’t dare to delay, it was certainly an emergency.

"Okay, Song Yi, please be really careful..."

"Mhm!"

He said, then without looking back, he went downstairs.

"Quick, go back!"

"Alright, Mianmian, you guys hurry back too. Remember, absolutely do not open the doors or windows, and don’t make any noise."

"I know, Sister Yuan."

"Yes, good."

Everyone was very anxious, and under Jhiang Xingzhi’s urging, Jhiang Yuan rushed back to her room, too.

As for the alarm, she didn’t know what it was about.

However, given the large scale of the response, it was definitely no small matter.

At the very least, it involved the whole village and was quite sudden.

Jhiang Xingzhi went back and closed all the doors and windows. The doors were fine, but the windows were a joke.

Not to mention that they were single-layered, the locks were the simplest kind.

With a light flick of a hand, they could be opened.

Jhiang Yuan, however, was worried about Song Yi. Going out at this time could be dangerous.

In the past, everyone would fight together, now she was home, fretting anxiously.

"Girl, don’t worry. There are so many people out there.

Come here, sit for a while."

Qin Yue’s words brought her back to reality.

"Dad, Mom, pack up a little, I’ll take you to..."

She didn’t spell it out clearly, but everyone understood what she meant.

It’s better to be vague in case walls have ears, nothing wrong with being a bit hazy.

But what to pack? Everything was available inside.

Once the four people were inside the space, Qin Yue began to lay out the bedding.

Inside, a house had been reserved for everyone.

She let Xiao Nuan stay with them, because if anything happened, she might need to leave.

Jhiang Xingzhi and Qin Yue weren’t sleepy either, Jhiang Yuan had already come out.

If she used her mind to sense the outside from within the space, she would be very tired.

Their two-bedroom, one-living room apartment was located right at the southeast corner of the building.

From above, one could see the street in front.

Although another building obscured most of the view, the gaps allowed for a clear line of sight.

Back and forth, figures scurried about, heightening the tense atmosphere.

She didn’t dare open the curtains wide, so she could only observe through this small gap.

Shortly after, the people dispersed, and the entire street regained its quiet.

She sat on the bed, clutching a hot water bottle, forcing herself to calm down.

This area was residential, with people specifically charged with keeping watch.

Even if there was danger, it likely wouldn’t be too severe.

Unless it was something uncontrollable like airplanes or bombs.

So, don’t be nervous, being nervous won’t change anything.

She comforted herself over and over again, having already experienced so much, the current danger was unknown, which meant it was even more important to prepare in advance.

Jhiang Yuan made a round in the living room and took out a double-door cabinet from the space to block the entrance.

This was somewhat of a safeguard, but dealing with all the other windows one by one was too much trouble.

Plus, it wasn’t convenient by the bed.

If that was the case, then forget about it, if there really was danger later, she would just go into her space.

"Knock, knock, knock—"

It was the sound of knocking, so abrupt.

Had someone come back?

Could it be Song Yi and the others, Jhiang Yuan felt a bit of joy, but she didn’t open the door.

The sound came from below, if it was really him, he would have come up to report that all was well.

The alarms outside had also stopped, it seemed that the danger had been resolved.

While she was still inwardly celebrating, screams erupted from the other side.

"Ah, help, help..."

She even heard gunfire.

Something had definitely happened downstairs.

What was going on, Jhiang Yuan’s heart rose to her throat.

From the window, she couldn’t see what was happening below at all.

She could only hear the screams, each one more piercing than the last.

Apart from her, everyone in the building was incredibly tense.

Someone even wanted to move a table over to block the entrance,

But they didn’t dare make too much noise, terrified.

Jhiang Yuan, holding binoculars, saw nothing in the courtyard.

She ran back to the window, and there was still no movement on the street.

It wasn’t until her second back-and-forth that she finally spotted something.

There was a figure sneaking on the staircase across from her.

Their house had a courtyard in the middle, surrounded by other houses.

Close to the main house, on both sides, there were stairs leading up.

The figure was right on the staircase across the way.

He didn’t stop at the second floor and went straight to the third.

Because of the angle, she could only see the lower half of the body, and it wasn’t very clear.

The area by the stairs was already quite dark.

Jhiang Yuan fixed her eyes on the figure, which had stopped on the third floor!

She smacked the binoculars to the ground, wrapped them in a pillowcase, then turned on the night vision.

Initially, there would be a bit of bright light, and she was afraid of alerting the person opposite.

"Thump, thump, thump..."

He was actually knocking on a door, looking to be a very burly individual.

The person knocked several times, and, receiving no response, seemed to become anxious.

As he turned around, Jhiang Yuan gasped sharply.

"Oh my god..."

She quickly covered her mouth, taking deep breaths non-stop.

The one on the other side was actually a bear.

Through the night vision device, its eyes were emitting a green glow, terribly frightening.

No wonder he was broad-shouldered and stout-waisted; it was an actual bear!

Earlier, there must have been a confrontation with the duty room personnel.

Based on the screams, it was more likely to be bad news than good.

She also didn’t know whether the gunshot earlier had hit it.

Moreover, this was supposed to be a normal village, how could there be bears roaming around?

Had Song Yi and the others gone out because of this?

The combat ability of brown bears was extraordinary.

And they were quite intelligent, just like the knocking incident just now.

Though she had been aware of it earlier, seeing it with her own eyes was still terrifying.

Considering the whole alarm system was triggered, there were probably more than one bear that had entered.
