Chapter 259 Skeleton Coast
Assistant Lin thought he was hallucinating because he had been too busy these days.
In addition to the five insurances and one fund, he now receives an additional salary of more than 3,000 yuan a day, which is less than one million yuan a year after tax deduction.
But the monthly salary of the director of any department of the boss is no less than 300,000!
Assistant Lin quickly said, "Please rest assured, Boss, I will definitely help you pursue Miss Si Ran!"
With Assistant Lin's "love assist", Pei Yu instantly became full of confidence.
Pei Yu said, "Assistant Lin, go help me find a temple nearby. If there isn't one, Christianity or Islam will do, as long as I can worship there."
Assistant Lin: ???
You were thinking about how to pursue Miss Si in the last second, but you want to worship Buddha in the next second?
Pei Yu was speechless when he saw Assistant Lin looking at him like he was a fool. "I don't think you'll ever be promoted to Director. If you really can't make it, just pack up and leave."
Assistant Lin's forehead was sweating. "That's not true. I'll check it out for you right away."
In less than three minutes, Assistant Lin had thoroughly checked all the religions within a ten-kilometer radius.
Pei Yu chose the nearest one. He didn't care what he was asking for. He just hoped that Si Ran would be safe on this trip.
——
On the other side, Si Ran and others have entered the Namibian Desert.
Keep walking east, and when you pass Death Valley, the cars are still there.
The tires were punctured, and the men were unable to drive away, but the animals that had been killed were no longer there.
Later, the police confirmed the identities of the white and Asian people based on the vehicle's dashcam.
The white man is called Gary, a famous wealthy man in Country D. He was previously reported for keeping wild animals in captivity for hunting, and later spent a lot of money to settle the matter.
The other man with an Asian face was from H country and his name was Hong Si, but this name was most likely a fake name. Apart from finding out his nationality, nothing else could be found about him.
Later, Si Ran reviewed it carefully.
The reason these people were able to evacuate so quickly was most likely because there was someone nearby to support them.
But if there was someone to support them, why didn't the person come out and kill them?
Is it because you don’t dare to reveal your identity, or do you feel that you have no chance of winning a fight with them?
"What are you thinking about?"
Just when Si Ran was lost in thought, he suddenly heard Song Zhi asking him softly.
Si Ran turned her head and saw Song Zhi looking helpless.
"Xiao Ran, why were you so silent on the way?" Song Zhi said, "If there's anything you don't understand, just tell me. We may not be as smart as you, but we can always help."
Si Ran wanted to explain.
However, Song Zhi suddenly laughed and said, "If you keep thinking like this, you'll get more wrinkles between your eyebrows."
Ji Zhishi, who was in the co-pilot seat, nodded quickly: "Yes, Sister Xiaoran, if you have any problems, we can all think about them together, and if there are any problems, we can all share the headaches."
Si Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She quickly explained, "I don't have a headache. I just like to think about things alone in the car. I didn't mean to hide it from everyone."
How could the people in the car not understand?
It’s just that everyone knows that Si Ran is under a lot of pressure, so they hope that Si Ran won’t keep things to himself.
After hearing Si Ran's explanation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, the off-road vehicle was passing through one winding yellow sand after another. During this period, one car got stuck in the yellow sand and it took everyone an hour to pull it out.
There were so many vehicles that the animals almost had to take detours, so Si Ran couldn't find any animals to ask along the way.
Until dark, no one found anything.
Si Ran was not comfortable talking to animals in front of everyone, so after it got dark and everyone had set up camp in the desert, Si Ran and the wildlife protection team took a walk around the area.
This time he was lucky. Less than 300 meters away, Si Ran found an ostrich sleeping under a tree.
The ostrich's feathers were disheveled, like a rooster with its feathers standing up after a fight.
At first, when he saw Lin Suiye and the others, his face was very alert. But when he saw Si Ran walking out from behind Lin Suiye, his small double-lidded eyes blinked several times and he shouted, "Wow, what a beautiful human!"
After saying that, it ran towards Si Ran and subconsciously stuck out its tongue to kiss Si Ran.
Si Ran raised his hand and quickly pinched the ostrich's mouth, and half of its tongue fell out.
Si Ran: "I refuse."
When the ostrich heard this, it was not unhappy about being rejected. Instead, its mind was filled with thoughts about how beautiful humans were different from ordinary humans, and how their cold voices were so charming!
The ostrich used its eyes to indicate that it would never do this again, and Si Ran then let go of his hand.
The ostrich bent its neck and nuzzled Si Ran with its thin head, then said, "Beautiful human, what do you want from me?"
Si Ran's expression suddenly softened.
"I want to ask you about an animal. Her name is Betha. She is a female desert lion with an injury on her hind leg."
"Bertha?"
The ostrich was almost impressed and asked, "Is it the pregnant lioness?"
"Pregnant?" Si Ran was shocked.
Bertha is pregnant?
The ostrich said, "I don't know of any that were killed, but last night a lion was chased by a group of humans. Its hind legs were injured, but it is indeed pregnant. Judging from its belly, it seems that it is about to give birth."
After listening to this, Si Ran was 80% sure that this lion was the Betha they were looking for.
"Have you ever seen other desert lions?"
"Yes, I have. Desert lions are different from other lions. I rarely see a group of desert lions together, but in the past month I have seen at least twenty desert lions walking in groups towards the Skeleton Sea."
Si Ran was also surprised to hear such important news.
Desert lions are solitary and rarely appear in such large groups.
Is it because the race suffered a catastrophic disaster that all these lions gathered together?
Si Ran thought so, thanked the ostrich, and returned to the camp with everyone.
At this time, the mercenaries and local police gathered together to roast a fire and cook.
The temperature at night was very low, approaching minus degrees Celsius.
In order to avoid getting sick in the desert, Si Ran and his friends ate their own food.
After eating, Si Ran told the local police that they would set off tomorrow to the Skeleton Sea that the ostrich mentioned.
However, the other party was obviously surprised: "Ran, you said you were going to the Drum Tower Coast in Huoanib?"
Si Ran didn't know where Huo Anib was, but seeing his surprised look, Si Ran asked, "Is there something wrong with this Skeleton Coast?"
"Ran, this Skeleton Coast is extremely dangerous," the police officer said earnestly. "Entering Hoanibu is like entering a true no-man's land. Apart from seabirds, no other animals can survive there."
"So you said Bertha went to the Skeleton Coast. I think you must be mistaken. All animals that go there will die."
When Si Ran heard this, his heart sank instantly.
She was not questioning the authenticity of the ostrich's answer.
In fact, animals are smarter, braver and more decisive than she imagined.
The living environment of desert lions is not good, and their resources are far inferior to those of lions in the East African grasslands.
So if they had not suffered a catastrophic disaster, they would never leave their territory and go to a desert where almost no animals can survive.
This group of desert lion corpses are taking refuge!
Avoid being hunted by humans!
Si Ran said firmly: "No, I have to go and see."
