Chapter 737 - 494 New Year Under the Lens_2

Everyone suddenly started to furiously grapple with the dumplings on their plates, and some wanted to curse at Han Yong, but due to the video recording, no one spoke up.

From outside the frame, a voice came:

"No way, no way, I better eat a couple quickly."

...

Part5:

The scene gradually moved into the Squadron Department.

"It is now two in the afternoon, and I have some good news for everyone, General Han’s Causal Law Weapon has become ineffective! Only four police dispatch calls came in at noon, and the whole squadron split into two groups to respond, our group got two false alarms! Now our team is already back, haha, it looks like we can have a normal New Year’s Eve dinner tonight!"

As soon as the words fell.

"Ding..."

"Damn it!"

The camera swung back.

"Meng Qiang, what’s happening?"

Shen Danian came rushing out from Squad Six, saying:

"Meng Qiang went out with Instructor Cao, and they haven’t come back yet!"

"Han Yong! Han Yong! What’s the situation?!"

"Captain Fang! Fire alarm! Wildfire!"

The camera dashed forward at high speed.

"The rest of the Squadron, all hands on deck!"

...

Part6:

"Wu...wo..."

The alarm sounded violently.

Fang Huai, who was extremely close to the camera, was frowning and making a phone call.

"Hey, Director Tang! I am Fang Huai from the Firefighting Special Duty! I am reporting a situation! There’s a big wildfire right now over at Dashan Village! Could you notify Niuchang Township to send someone to organize the villagers to extinguish the fire with us?"

"Not yet there! But it should not be a false alarm! Three different callers reported it, all mentioning the same location, we got in touch with one of them, who described the situation to us, the blaze should be large, and all the city’s firefighting forces are busy, it is difficult for us to call for reinforcements!"

"Ah, okay! I’ll call you as soon as we arrive at the scene!"

Fang Huai hung up the phone, stared ahead for a while, was about to make a second call when he suddenly turned his head, looking towards the camera.

"Are you recording?"

The camera shook.

Fang Huai glared: "What are you recording now?"

The camera turned again, fixed for a while on the driver Han Shaofeng, turned back to tap a few people from the third squad, and again thrust into Fang Huai’s face before Han Yong’s voice came through.

"Didn’t you say you wanted to record the life of the Squadron today and share it with all the families of the whole squadron? You also wanted to post it online! How could we not film the dispatch?"

Fang Huai immediately started cursing:

"Wildfire! Think about what you should be doing now! Once aboard, if the Command Center doesn’t contact, and both two-way radios are out of battery, what good are you as a Communication Officer, how did Meng Qiang teach you?!

Make a call and ask Instructor Cao what’s happening on their end, how long will they take?

Also, call Chang Ming, we definitely won’t be back for lunch! Tell him to wait for notification before cooking!"

...

Part7:

The sky was nearing dusk.

A few people were resting with their arms crossed, the camera circled around, and finally, tilted upwards to settle on Zhang Yang’s profile by the door.

The dim streetlights flickered by one by one. Zhang Yang suddenly opened his eyes, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, coughed once, extracted one, and lit it up.

He opened the window, looking outside.

Lights shifted, flickering on and off.

The lights in the apartment buildings, some warm-colored, some bright white.

After a long silence, Hu Hongzhi’s voice came from off-camera.

"Move over, let me get a shot, that building looks too much like the one where my parents live, I want to record it to show them!"

Zhang Yang shifted a bit to make room.

The camera zoomed in on a building outside until it disappeared, then returned inside the car.

"Hey, Captain Fang’s camera is so clear... My parents are probably at home now, waiting to watch the evening party."

Hearing this, Zhang Yang laughed and lifted his cigarette to take a draw, leisurely saying: "At this time, my folks should be at my uncle’s house, my uncle’s wealthy, a big shot in town, every year he invites my dad and his brothers to have dinner, my auntie, her cooking smells so good."

Suddenly, noises of movement and Hu Hongzhi’s impatient voice came from outside the frame:

"Close it when you’re done! It’s freezing! Zhang Yang, practice your water gun technique some more! All the water hit me! Ah... Achoo!"

...

Part8:

The canteen, the window outside was pitch-black.

Inside, however, was bright with light.

On the table was an extremely sumptuous spread of food, and each soldier sat upright, looking forward.

The visiting family members were also brimming with smiles.

Fang Huai stood in the center of the canteen, facing the camera, and loudly said: "Comrades of the Guizhou Fire Brigade and firefighters nationwide! Family members!"

All the soldiers yelled together: "Happy New Year!"

Fang Huai walked to a table, introducing: "Our Guiyang Special Service Second Squadron’s New Year’s Eve dinner, plenty to go around! Hot and spicy! With fish and shrimp! Comrades, does it smell good?"

"Delicious!"

Fang Huai raised his hand: "Come, show it!"

Han Yong immediately picked up an iron basin, stood up, and said:

"This is dry pot beef with skin! I wish everyone: a bullish year, soaring to new heights!"

"Great!"

Applause clapped noisily.

Song Lin was not to be outdone, lifting up a plate of fish:

"This is our Guizhou’s pickled spicy fish! I wish everyone leaps over the dragon gate, swims through the four seas, and has fish every year!"

"Hey hey, there’s more here, pine nut corn! Wishing everyone wealth and prosperity!"

"Stir-fried goat meat! Wishing everyone a year of prosperity and well-being!"

Only then did Fang Huai loudly say:

"The video we shot today will be sent to the families of our team and will also be uploaded to the external propaganda website of the whole corps after editing! It will also be permanently saved in our Squadron’s archive, so that newcomers to this Squadron in the future can see the shadows and the spirit of the Old Soldiers who once strove for the Second Squadron!

So, if you have something to say a little later, you can come in front of the camera to say it!

There’s also good news! Today, the Detachment is specially taking care of us, dispatching us to the government fireworks site to be on duty! From 11 PM to 1 AM, no other calls will be dispatched! After dinner, let’s all go on duty together, and after the government’s fireworks are over, we will set off our own!"
