At this time, they had already flown to the Pacific Ocean and had another 20 hours to fly from their destination.
It is too far from Asia to the Amazon jungle. Qingji Port, where Shen Rui is located, is nearly 20,000 kilometers away along the shortest air route.
It is impossible for a pair of wild geese to travel long distances at supersonic speeds. With the aura of a sharp team, with the speed boost of a full-level "guide", the cruising speed can reach 600 kilometers per hour, and the whole journey takes 30 hours.
However, this speed, in the eyes of others traveling with him, was already so fast that he had to slow down a bit so that other people's mounts could catch up, except of course Rachel's Black Swan, which was also enjoying the ride. Bonus to team aura.
"Mr. Shen's team halo is indeed worth the money. During the time we used it, the price-performance ratio was too high. Unfortunately, there are too few places for sale." Park Zhengyin sighed.
"There is no way. Now the quota here has been allocated, and I am not the only one who decides how to sell it." Shen Rui said helplessly.
Last time, Xia Daxue took away 50 of them at one time, which were needed by the administration to deal with the hell operation.
Now he only has single-digit quotas for emergency use, and he cannot temporarily form a team for all the people in front of him. Instead of causing conflicts in the end, it would be better not to form a team at all.
"Okay, okay, once the domestic emergency is dealt with, we can get it back. Once we get to the rainforest, it should be almost done." His elder brother Park Zhengjin stopped the topic.
He could see that Shen Rui was a little embarrassed.
In his opinion, this is normal. There should be very few such precious things. They were able to buy two of them because they had strong fighting ability and had to sell three months of labor time every year to get them.
This is something that cannot be exchanged for money or ordinary materials, and it is one of the strategic materials.
Jiuzhou will definitely control this kind of strategic materials, and it is impossible for Shen Rui to sell them privately to outsiders.
At this time, Rachel suddenly turned her head and looked back, and she said with some hatred: "Damn it, those guys are still following us."
Everyone turned around at the same time and saw dozens of golden birds about two or three kilometers away, following them from a distance.
"It seems that Mr. Shen is right. They really want to avoid your battlefield space advantage, but they have not given up on intercepting us." Park Zhengjin frowned.
"I think they may have received an order to prevent us from domesticating the alienated plant." Shen Rui guessed.
"In this case, they should destroy the plant instead of intercepting us." Rachel pointed at the golden bird behind, making a gesture of cutting its throat.
"Maybe they are doing this," Shen Rui said, and then ordered, "Okay, let's lower the altitude and fly to a place 400 meters above the sea."
Flying faster at high altitudes and slower at low altitudes is because at high altitudes, these giant birds can borrow various airflows and reduce physical exertion through their flexible use.
Now for safety, they can only choose to travel at low altitude.
…………
It was indeed safe to fly at low altitude. The golden birds were circling and following them at first. Finally, seeing that they were not changing their flying altitude, they turned around and left, seemingly to intercept people coming from other directions.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Being stared at by a group of ferocious birds was definitely not a comfortable experience.
"I heard that that kind of plant can deal with underground enemies, but I wonder if it can deal with these bad guys in the air." Rachel said with admiration.
"If the material is good enough, it may not be impossible." Shen Rui thought of the wooden aircraft that Xia Daxue once mentioned, using activated alien plants as the shell, which would provide sufficient protection and solve the problem of fragile protection of traditional aircraft.
In this world, if there is no particle protection, no matter how strong the armor is, it will be vulnerable. Special particles can easily pass through any dense material and shatter it inside. The only thing that can resist it is itself.
"You mean the wooden plane?" Park Zhengjin interjected. Obviously, with his status, he could also know such high-level secrets.
"Yes, it seems your country is also studying it?" Shen Rui asked curiously.
"How can we afford research? Now we can only cooperate with other international organizations to provide some peripheral assistance," Park Zhengjin shook his head. "Only a big country like Kyushu can devote manpower and material resources to specialize in researching such high-end projects. We just happen to have the right resources there. We undertook some outsourcing projects and entrusted us to find suitable alienated trees in the mountains, so we learned a lot about them."
"I see." Shen Rui thought to himself that this is normal.
Wooden airplanes sound simple, but in fact they are equivalent to high-end aviation projects in previous generations. They have always been the exclusive domain of big countries. Without enough manpower, they cannot be supported at all.
Thinking of the alienated plant he was about to meet, his heart became even more intense.
No wonder the world attaches so much importance to it. Its emergence is likely to solve two major problems, air and underground. If both aspects can be solved, then mankind can get rid of being passively beaten, build a truly stable castle, and regain air superiority.
If these two goals can really be achieved, then humans will be considered to have the real strategic initiative, and they will be able to advance and retreat freely from now on. It will be the aberration's turn to hide in Tibet to avoid human encirclement and suppression.
Instead of like now, when Operation Hell comes, humans can only cower in the castle, and this cowering is the result of the opponent not attacking the castle from underground.
It seems that those monsters have not given up on the idea of making humans surrender and become slaves. Otherwise, they will use this last resort to attack from underground, completely overturn the human fortress, and kill a large number of human survivors.
The aberrations are obviously not stupid. Although they are instigated by the shadows, they still retain the real hope of solving the solar crisis.
Several people talked all the way, and after a day and a night, they finally flew to the target location.
Looking down, you can see a large expanse of lush green land. This is the Amazon Rainforest, the largest tropical rainforest known as the "Lungs of the Earth".
This is a paradise for animals and plants. The variety and complexity of the ecosystem are unmatched by other areas.
Everyone takes it for granted that such magical alienated plants can be found here.
If you can't find it here, it's harder to find it elsewhere.
Shen Rui followed the meeting address left by Teacher Wu, slowed down and searched carefully.
Finally he found a valley area with a big bend and a rare open space.
At this time, a bonfire was rising above the ground, and people in various uniforms gathered together.
"Look, there's someone down there." Park Zhengyin said excitedly.
The group of people descended towards the river valley.
Soon someone flew up on a bird and came to greet them.
The visitor immediately recognized them. After all, Shen Rui and the other three people were all people who had joined the genius clause, and their appearance and age were already listed in important files of various countries.
"Please come with me. Your camp should be in the east, where Kyushu and East Asia organizations are stationed." The visitor said politely.
The few people did not object and followed the visitor directly to a camp in the east.
As soon as Shen Rui landed, he saw Teacher Wu.
The other three people took their guards with them, and after saying goodbye to Shen Rui, they each looked for their own organizations to meet up.
"These three people are very powerful. They are trying to recruit our cavalry regiment." Shen Rui came up and said to Teacher Wu.
"Well, I will arrange this matter," Teacher Wu nodded in agreement, "Now let me tell you about the current situation."
Then, he took Shen Rui into a temporary camp that had been built long ago.
The camp is made of felled wood to build a simple wooden platform two meters above the ground, which is isolated from the hot and humid surface. The tent is then pitched on the wooden platform.
After the two entered the largest tent, Teacher Wu talked about the information collected in the past few days.
"The alienated plant is located 150 kilometers away to the west and is surrounded by three powerful alien communities."
"It has great ambitions and wants to be the king of the jungle. The difficulty of taming lies in this. An ambitious king cannot be truly tamed. The three powerful tribes of monsters are all under its control. It provides warning, shelter and even food to those aberrations, and those aberrations call it the Mother of the Rainforest, the Holy King of the Rainforest..."
"Its true origin has been found out. It is a root plant. The large banyan tree of the Moraceae family is very common in southern China. A single mother tree can cover dozens of miles. And it now covers hundreds of kilometers in radius. The scope is a veritable overlord."
"In addition to controlling the aberrant community, it also controls many other types of alienated plants as its subordinates."
When Shen Rui heard this, he immediately remembered the vines and alienated plants he encountered when he went to the southeastern peninsula last time to hunt cannibals.
It seemed that the power of this tree was far greater than the ones he had encountered before.
"Does it have other characteristics?" Shen Rui asked.
"Yes, the biggest characteristic is that it has a unique talent for imitation. It can transform its own tissues and imitate the characteristics of other plants. It has the strongest photosynthetic organ and can produce various fruits. It has the toughest Wooden tissue serves as a solid defensive wall..."
