59: No joke! A cannon is raging in the wild river!
Officer Hong was trembling all over.
That's absolutely right, absolutely right! Brother, you're so right!
Rumble... The river surface.
An iron muzzle, significantly thicker than the opening of a trash can, slowly emerged from the water.
Dark and deep, very deep... This time, the cannon muzzle aimed ominously at the crowd.
Everyone: Oh my goodness!
"Holy crap! A cannon!"
"Run! This damn thing is even bigger than the last one!"
"I just came to watch the excitement, but you want my life!"
"What the heck? Is this Wild River having an arms fair today?"
"Police Officer! I want to report a crime! There's a cannon here!"
Some attention-seeker shouted that last line.
Officer Hong felt like dying.
It's out, it's out... Another cannon has been hauled out by Brother Su Yun!
Xu Tianlong patted Officer Hong's shoulder: "Sigh..."
Sometimes.
Police Officers actually want to call the police too... The masses scattered and fled.
The Police Officers stood stunned in place, completely bewildered.
To witness a cannon being pushed out of the river right before their eyes... Oh right, there's another one right beside them, and the water hasn't even dried yet...
Wang Fan: "..."
He forced a wry smile.
"Brother..."
"We agreed to go down and catch some fish."
"Why did you haul up another cannon?"
"Are you having a feud with cannons today, Brother?"
"Brother, if you're feeling down about something, you can talk to your little brother about it..."
β β [!!!]
β β [Another cannon! See you guys on the rooftop!]
β β [I'm absolutely done! I've lost the shirt off my back!]
β β [The Streamer is causing trouble with cannons today, huh?]
β β [Streamer, can't you do something normal for once?]
β β [Officer Hong: Please feel free to bombard me, thank you!]
β β [Is this never going to end?]
β β [A young cow sitting on an electric blanketβhot stuff!]
... Another field artillery gun was pushed out of the river by Su Yun.
Actually.
He himself knew.
From the moment he touched the field artillery gun.
Detailed information immediately appeared in his mind.
[Name: Type 38 150mm Field Howitzer!]
[Ammunition types: High Explosive, Incendiary, Chemical, Armor-Piercing!]
[Maximum range: 5890m!]
[...]
[Current Status: Severely battle-damaged, unusable, no danger!]
Good!
Su Yun felt speechless internally.
Today's great misfortune is certainly worth it!
Another field howitzer emerged from the water like a lotus...
Su Yun chuckled.
He waved at Officer Hong: "Officer Hong."
"I really did go down to catch fish."
"I just accidentally... stumbled upon a cannon..."
"I originally didn't intend to pull it out."
"But then I thought, one is too lonely..."
"Isn't it customary in Huaxia (China) to have things in pairs?"
"My mother always said, having things in pairs brings good luck..."
Officer Hong: "..."
If he could, he would flick Su Yun's forehead right now.
This kid... Listen to that, is he even speaking human language?
Because one cannon was too lonely, you decided to push another one out of the river for me?
To make a pair?!
Why don't you make two pairs?
Why don't you just ascend to heaven?
Xu Tianlong patted Officer Hong's shoulder.
Afraid that the latter might do something irrational...
"Old Hong, we are Police Officers."
"We cannot make mistakes..."
"Brother Su Yun also meant well."
"He's young; we must learn to guide him."
It was rare for the tough-guy Xu Tianlong to be so gentle.
Su Yun scratched his head and climbed out of the river.
He borrowed a dagger and prepared a large platter of grass carp sashimi...
"Officer Hong."
"You all have worked hard."
"Want some?"
Officer Hong just rolled his eyes: "..."
No need to say more.
He immediately sent people to call the relevant person in charge of the Technical Division.
Eight people.
Fully armed, they watched helplessly as yet another field artillery gun was laid out on the riverbank.
The captain of the Technical Division was dumbfounded.
Looking at Su Yun squatting on the ground and feasting.
His face was full of dark lines: What the heck? Are you messing with me today?
First of all, I'm just a guy who does inspections.
Secondly, I didn't provoke anyone, did I?
"Can someone explain to me, why?"
Precision instruments searched the area no less than five times.
Damn it, they didn't even detect the slightest trace of a cannon.
And the result?
I turned around to go back, hadn't even had a sip of water, and was called back again.
The captain of the Technical Division was numb.
The fully armed team members behind him.
Looked utterly exhausted: "Captain, can I call the police?"
Seriously, sometimes Police Officers are just helpless...
Life is unlivable.
The training was useless.
High-precision instruments should just be smashed and sold as scrap metal!
This is absolutely outrageous!
So, high-precision instruments really aren't as good as your pair of ruthless iron hands, huh?
At this moment.
Officer Hong understood the captain of the Technical Division better than anyone.
"Don't be discouraged, try to think of another solution."
"I'll report this to Bureau Chief Chen..."
Ding-a-ling!
Just as he got off the city freeway, Bureau Chief Chen's phone rang.
He saw it was Old Hong calling again.
"Hello, Old Hong?"
"What is it?"
Bureau Chief Chen's voice was trembling, probably out of anxiety.
Officer Hong originally didn't want to say anything.
But he couldn't hold back the fact that another field artillery gun had emerged...
They needed a backbone to control the scene.
A brief silence.
Officer Hong spoke directly: "Bureau Chief Chen."
"Just one minute ago."
"Another field artillery gun emerged from the Wild River!"
Bureau Chief Chen: ???
Deputy Director Zhang: ???
Another field artillery gun emerged?
"Holy hell..."
Deputy Director Zhang, listening nearby, couldn't help but curse.
What the heck, is this a joke?
What do you mean 'another field artillery gun emerged'?
Do you think field artillery guns are like fried meatballs... popping out one after another...
Watching helplessly.
Bureau Chief Chen's face flushed deep red from holding back.
"Alright, alright, alright..."
"Old Hong, don't worry."
"Don't panic..."
Officer Hong gave a wry smile: "Bureau Chief, I'm fine."
"I'm just afraid your heart can't take it."
Bureau Chief Chen: "What can't I take!?"
"What kind of storms haven't I weathered!?"
"Old Hong, do you think I'm a narrow-minded person?"
"Expand your perspective!"
"It's just another field artillery gun."
"If he's capable, tell him to fish out an entire armory for me!"
"As long as he dares to haul it out, I'll apply for a third-class merit citation for him!"
"Don't stop him, just let Brother Su Yun do it!"
"What, that rascal can overturn the heavens?"
Officer Hong: "..."
It seems the Bureau Chief has already chosen to give up.
So be it.
Surely Brother Su Yun won't go back into the river, right?
"Bureau Chief Chen, please rest assured."
"Brother Su Yun, he..."
Plop!
Before he finished speaking, water splashed everywhere on the river surface.
A familiar figure jumped into the river.
Wait a minute... The smile on Officer Hong's face completely froze.
He was utterly stunned where he stood.
He yelled at the top of his lungs.
His voice cracked as he roared: "Why did he jump back in?"
"Wang Fan!"
"You Dead Fatty!"
"Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on Su Yun?"
"Why did he jump back down!?"
Wang Fan swallowed the grass carp sashimi in one bite.
He wiped his plump little hand on his butt...
"Officer Hong."
"The sashimi wasn't enough... I'm not full."
"My Brother said he's going back down to fish up some more."
