Probably because humans once lived in this area, even if the cultivated land turns into forests, there are still many fruit trees left. They grow wildly without anyone taking care of them, but the fruits are still edible.
The fruits produced by those wildly growing fruit trees in this season do not look good. Many of the fruits have signs of being eaten by birds, and there are also many insects.
The relatively fresh fractures on some branches may have been broken by animals in the mountains.
But for Feng Yi, it was good to have something to eat. What had been pecked by birds and what had grown worms did not matter so much.
Everything is to provide energy for the body.
After eating, I felt much better, and there was no sense of urgency. I was able to turn over a few more rocks and catch a few reptiles, such as turtles, hiding under the rocks and in the crevices of the rocks.
Feng Yi turned over rocks by a pool and found a small turtle. He didn't know what kind of turtle it was. He could only tell that it looked different from the turtles he usually saw. There were two pairs of turtles on its head.
Eye-like markings.
After catching it, bring it to Professor Zhou and others for identification.
“Four-eyed water turtle!” Professor Zhou was very happy. After asking Feng Yi where he found it, he started sampling and recording it.
“Are you feeling better?” Professor Zhou asked Feng Yi.
"Much better! You don't have to worry." Feng Yi replied.
There are more fruits to eat, and Feng Yi’s condition is slightly better than the previous few days.
"That's good, there are only the last few days left. If there is no bad weather, I estimate that we can go out in about three days."
When Professor Zhou said this, Feng Yi was even more happy. He could eat meat in three days!
After going out, he will eat a lot of meat! Make up for what he has missed in the past two months!
When Feng Yi joined Team South 6 to participate in the operation, Feng Yi didn't plan to stand out at first. The team members didn't understand each other, and his movements were limited, so he just acted as a tool. He only came out when needed and occasionally helped find snakes. Most of the time, he was more
Passive. Moreover, there was Cheng Si in the team at that time, and there was an experienced veteran like Steve, so the two of them worked well together.
After that, everyone became familiar with it, and Feng Yi had a greater degree of freedom. In addition, Feng Yi had to go out to find food by himself to provide energy for his body, so the chance of discovering the target naturally increased.
When the hunger became more and more severe and his body could not keep up, he became lazy and took less actions. Everyone in the team thought that Feng Yi was not adaptable and were considerate, so they seldom arranged work for him.
But now, as it comes to the end, Feng Yi feels more relaxed and has more fruits to replenish his energy. In addition, after wearing eye lenses, some functions of the vomeronasal organ are activated, so there is no need to waste too much.
Hypersensitive sense of smell is turned on, even if only one-third of the function is turned on, it is much better than the average person.
So now Feng Yi is very efficient in finding fruits and catching targets.
Everyone in the team had the same view. They felt that Feng Yi knew that the scientific examination was coming to an end and felt happy. This was the same mentality as students as the holidays were approaching.
It is indeed similar, but Feng Yi's mood is stronger than that of students waiting for the holidays.
When Feng Yi was happy, he became more energetic in his work.
After giving the four-eyed turtle to Professor Zhou and the others, they turned over rocks again, and then another four-eyed turtle came out.
At night.
The scientific expedition team also needs to conduct nighttime inspections, because some nocturnal snakes only come out at night.
Feng Yi caught a small snake at night.
This little snake is a bit stupid, and even if I catch it, it doesn’t know how to run away.
Feng Yi didn’t pinch it, just wrapped it around his hand and showed it to Professor Zhou.
Professor Zhou took a look, but did not immediately say what kind of snake it was, but asked Feng Yi.
“Do you know what kind of snake it is?”
“I don’t know.” Feng Yi said.
“I didn’t know you were still playing?!”
Feng Yi: "...I've seen it before, it's not poisonous and not aggressive at all."
Actually, I’ve never seen it, but it’s hard to say: I knew it was a fool at first sight and had no attack power against me.
Professor Zhou didn’t know whether to believe it or not, “It’s indeed not poisonous. It’s a blunt-headed snake that eats snails and slugs.”
Professor Zhou said and gave Feng Yi a serious look: "Be careful next time, don't play with something you don't know or understand, whether you think it's dangerous or not! Even if they are not poisonous, snakes living in the wild can carry bacteria.
!It’s not good if the bite causes a serious bacterial infection.”
Feng Yi replied honestly: "Yes, I remember it.
Not long after turning around, he found another stupid snake. The snake was leaning forward and looking towards him with wide eyes. It moved slowly and slowly, looking anxiously.
I don’t know if I ate too many snails.
This time Feng Yi did not directly grab it.
“Professor Zhou, there is another stupid...blunt-headed snake here! Do you want to catch it??”
Professor Zhou came over and took a look, "No need to catch it, just leave it there and we will handle it here."
Teacher Lei has come over to take photos. Taking photos of snakes in natural backgrounds has a more ecological feel. It always feels inappropriate to be caught in the hand and take photos. It is rare to encounter such a cooperative snake, and it doesn’t know how to hide from people, so it’s better to take photos.
The photos are pretty good.
Steve observed the surrounding environment, "There should be blunt-headed snakes nearby. If there are many of them, they may attract some snake-eating snakes."
After a while, under Feng Yi’s deliberate guidance, Steve caught a red chain snake.
“Good luck! The size is okay.” Steve looked at the red chain snake.
After stabilizing, Steve told Feng Yi again, "This guy eats a lot of things, is ruthless in his attacks, and is merciless to his own kind. The pattern is really beautiful! But he is quite irritable."
Although this scientific expedition activity is coming to an end, the harvest has been good and everyone is in a good mood.
The conditions were limited at night, and it was impossible to keep going. Now that the target was discovered, the team stayed where they were.
While Professor Zhou and the others were measuring and sampling, Feng Yi went to bed directly. He couldn't help with those tasks. He had to rest early to recharge his energy, and then get up early tomorrow to find something to eat!
The next day, before the others woke up, Feng Yi went to find something to eat. He had smelled the fruity aroma last night, but it was difficult for him to move.
The sky is only bright and the sun has not yet come out. For ordinary people, it is still inconvenient to move around due to lack of light.
Feng Yi has no such worries. He is now wearing eyeglasses, and his pupils are blocked. His eyesight is not very good in the first place, and he mainly relies on his sense of smell.
Going for a walk, I found some wild fruits to replenish energy. Then I caught another snake.
He didn’t know what kind of snake it was. It looked interesting and had horns above its eyes.
Before dawn, Feng Yi ate a meal of fruit and then grabbed the snake and returned to the resting place of the team.
At this time, the sun came out, and Professor Zhou and others had already gotten up and were packing their things.
“Feng Yi, is it convenient for you to get up so early? You should pay attention to safety and don’t go too far... What are you grabbing in your hand?!”
Professor Zhou dropped what he was holding and walked over quickly.
“Kakuhara?!” Professor Zhou said in surprise, “It is indeed the Kakuhara spear-headed adder! It is also found here? This kind of snake is generally secretive and difficult to find. Where did you catch it?”
Feng Yi: "Just...nearby."
Feng Yi told the location.
Professor Zhou’s smile faded, “The location you mentioned is not ‘nearby’!”
Since he had to take samples from the place of discovery, Feng Yi didn’t lie.
Looking at Professor Zhou’s look, I guess I’ll have to call him over to give a safety lesson when I have time.
Fortunately, Professor Zhou's attention was quickly focused on this horned viper, and he had no time to give Feng Yi a safety lesson for the time being.
In recent years, there has been less data related to the Aphrodisiac in the Nanchong Mountains. After Professor Zhou contacted the scientific research base, the base also attached great importance to it.
Teacher Lei took some high-definition photos and sent them to the base.
Therefore, when the Nan Chong Scientific Research Base updated the news related to the scientific expedition team on the social platform, there were also photos provided by the Nan Chong Team 6.
These photos also include the blunt-headed snake and red snake found last night, as well as the four-eyed turtle found during the day.
Those who follow the trends and those in the scientific research base are sighing: This South 6 team is becoming more and more productive towards the end!
Cheng Si, who has been discharged from the hospital, was heartbroken when he saw these things when he woke up in the morning.
Southern Team 6 caught the limelight not long ago when they caught a three-meter king cobra, and the official account of Nanchong Base gained many new fans.
Cheng Si’s previous live broadcast attracted traffic, and the attention of the South 6 team was indeed higher than that of other teams. After Cheng Si stopped joining the team, those who wanted to see the latest developments in the reptile scientific expedition could only follow the official accounts on social platforms.
Among the people who watch the scientific research progress of the South 6 team every day, there are a small number of people who persistently leave messages every day:
【In the photo of South Team 6, the man coiling a python and a king cobra with his bare hands, is he Brother Yueshan Snake?】
Nanchong Base did not respond directly to this.
But the more this happens, the more everyone feels that this person is Brother Yueshan Snake!
Looking at these comments, Cheng Si became more and more heartbroken.
He knew the truth, but he couldn't tell it. Originally, he planned to take advantage of Brother Snake's popularity, but he didn't expect that he was sent out midway before he could implement it!
When Cheng Si's assistant brought breakfast and medicine, he saw that Cheng Si was updating the South 6th team again and looked bad, so he comforted him: "Brother Cheng, don't think too much. It's a blessing in disguise!"
Cheng Si did receive a lot of benefits from this injury due to the team's operation.
However, Cheng Si was still unwilling to do so. He could have done better.
Cheng Si regretted his impulsiveness over there. After measuring the data of the horned viper and collecting samples, the members of Team South 6 began another day of inspection.
Feng Yi was counting down the days in his mind. There were only two days before he could go out for a big meal!
At the edge of the reserve, some traces of human activities can already be seen. Logically speaking, there should be fewer animals, but many animals can still be seen here.
Sometimes they will panic when they see people, but some remain calm, or observe from a distance. Those who react more calmly no longer regard humans as signals of fear.
With the strictest protection laws and ecological and environmental protection propaganda from all parties, fewer and fewer people will actively interfere with their lives. Are they becoming bolder?
The sun was a bit strong today. At noon, Professor Zhou asked the team to rest in the woods and replenish some food.
After Feng Yi gnawed a piece of biscuit, he couldn't sit still anymore. He smelled the fragrance of wild fruits.
The food in the bag was indeed not enough for him to eat, and what he had eaten in the morning had already been digested.
“Professor Zhou, I’m going for a walk.”
“Don’t go too far!!” Professor Zhou said.
“Hey, I won’t go far this time.”
The fragrance of those fruits that Feng Yi smelled was indeed not far away, so the reply was positive.
I picked the fruits looking for the fragrance, which replenished some energy, and I immediately felt more energetic.
Feng Yi smelled the smell around carefully to see if there was anything else he could eat.
Suddenly smelled a scent message.
This smell...
Feng Yi took a few steps forward and raised his head.
Dense branches blocked his sight, and with the lenses he was wearing now, Feng Yi could not see clearly what was on it, but based on the smell, he was sure there must be something on it.
The trunk of the tree is relatively thick and can be climbed up.
Putting down his backpack, Feng Yi easily climbed up the tree and quickly found the object following the smell.
A strap secures a box to a tree.
Looking at the LOGO on the belt, it is the logo of a global first-line luxury brand.
Under the strictest protection laws, the world’s first-tier luxury brands no longer use real snakeskin.
It is even more impossible to use real snakeskin to make a belt!
So, there is no doubt that it is a fake!
However, Feng Yi did not untie the package immediately. Instead, he took photos and went to find someone.
Professor Zhou and the others were discussing the project meeting to be held after the scientific expedition. Only Steve was wandering around, trying to find a little cutie.
Just as he was looking for it, he heard Feng Yi shouting:
“Ste——ve!”
Steve's scalp feels numb.
Ever since Feng Yi dragged the python and shouted like this last time, Steve has been a little overreacted to Feng Yi's shouts.
