Chapter 260 Desert Lions
Si Ran's gaze was very determined.
The policeman opposite was stunned.
There was shock and disbelief in his eyes, but Si Ran didn't dodge at all and just looked at him straight.
Finally, the police nodded and said, "Ran, if you want to go, we will fully cooperate with you. However, our limited resources can only last for half a month at most. If we can't find any trace of the desert lion within half a month, we will have to leave the desert first to ensure everyone's safety."
Si Ran: "Thank you."
The policeman said politely, "We should be the ones thanking Miss Si."
If it weren't for Si Ran, the wild desert lion would most likely have become extinct before being discovered by the local conservation station.
Everyone rested in the tent for one night.
Because of concerns about large wild animals, the police and mercenaries sent people to stand guard, which allowed the wildlife protection team to sleep well.
The next day, just after dawn, everyone washed up and returned to the car to prepare for departure.
It is not comfortable to sit in a car in the desert. Even the usually strong Song Zhi couldn't help but turn pale after sitting for several hours.
Ji Zhishi and Ruan Qingyue vomited even more.
Fortunately, six hours later, the group finally arrived at the Skeleton Coast.
As a result, as soon as they got off the car, their eyes widened in shock when they saw the scene in front of them.
The Skeleton Coast and the Namibian Desert are connected, with the Namibian side having light blue sea water and yellow desert.
But once they entered the Skeleton Coast, everyone found that the heat wave hit them instantly as soon as they got out of the car, and the strong wind swept the sand and rocks, making it almost impossible to open their eyes.
On the other side, the light blue sea water turned dark blue, white waves beat against the desert, and seagulls landed on the beach, looking down for edible fish and shrimps.
I thought the desert I had seen before was lonely enough, but when I came to the Skeleton Coast, this feeling was even stronger.
The police officer nearby explained to everyone, "The reason this place is called the Skeleton Coast, besides its geographical location, is largely because the resources here are so scarce that even animals can't survive. That's why I told Miss Si that desert lions can't come here."
Although they were threatened with death in their previous territory, at least they could hunt.
And what about here?
There may be only a few mutated lizards and insects, and no other living things can be found.
A desert lion can’t possibly go looking for these little things, right?
"That's not necessarily true." Si Ran gently explained after hearing what the police said, "When animals are in desperate situations, they can also break through their limits just like humans. In Chinese fables, whether it's Dayu controlling the floods or Yugong moving the mountains, they all acted out of desperate situations, and these actions can also be well reflected in animals."
Fight against the sky, the earth, and people.
The local police only half understood what was said, but then they thought it made a lot of sense.
People have thousands of thoughts, not to mention there are so many animals in the world.
The police silently watched Si Ran walk towards the beach. These people originally wanted to follow him, but were stopped by Song Zhi.
The policeman was confused. Then he saw that when Si Ran walked to the beach, the seagulls that were originally looking for food around him suddenly took off.
Si Ran seemed to have said something to the group of seagulls. The seagulls were originally quiet, but suddenly they flapped their wings, and some even started fighting, as if they were vying to complain.
However, this is true.
Now Haiou is indeed complaining to Si Ran.
"Ranran, you have to stand up for us seagulls! We seagulls were doing well here before, but who knew that those desert lions came and couldn't find any food, so they took us as food!"
"Exactly. How can lions be so greedy for birds? Yesterday, a lion ate my grandfather's sister's sister's child. Now the mother of my grandfather's sister's sister's child is on a hunger strike, saying that she won't live without the child!"
"besides……"
"stop!"
Si Ran was already confused by the group of seagulls. She quickly pinched the seagull's mouth and said, "Stop for a moment. I promise you, if I find the desert lions, I will take them to a safe place and won't bother you. But as you can see, we humans can't fly and can't find the whereabouts of the desert lions. So can you help me? I brought some homemade cookies to share with you."
"We do!"
"Yeah, we're not here for the cookies (chew chew chew)"
Si Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
They actually have drones, but the local drones have average battery life and are somewhat difficult to operate. She tried it before but decided to give up.
Birds are much more useful than drones.
However, there were too many seagulls, so Si Ran could only crush the biscuits into crumbs. After a seagull smacked the biscuits with its mouth to taste them, all the others flew into the desert.
Si Ran turned around and saw the tightly wrapped mercenaries and policemen looking at him in shock with deep eyes.
Si Ran walked back and explained dryly, "Actually, people in our line of work all know how to communicate with animals, right?"
Si Ran's gaze fell on the members of Ye Bao's team.
Lin Suiye was the first to react: "Yes, we used to have pet communication courses in school."
Qiu Chi: "That's right, but you have to study hard. Some people who don't study well won't be able to graduate at all."
Zhang Mingyi: "This operation is very normal, don't be surprised."
Ji Zhishi: "That's right! I also know how to communicate with these birds..."
Ji Zhishi suddenly felt a wetness on his head.
A very familiar feeling.
Ji Zhishi's whole body was stiff, and he looked like he was about to cry but couldn't.
Before he could say anything, the police officer next to him exclaimed in an exaggerated manner: "OMG, there is a pile of bird shit on your head. Didn't you learn how to communicate with birds when you were in school?"
Ji Zhishi: ...
Ji Zhishi was about to break.
Fortunately, he had plenty of water with him, so Ji Zhishi simply washed his hair and cursed those seabirds a thousand times in his heart.
As soon as I finished washing my hair, a group of seagulls flew over.
A white seagull perched on Si Ran's shoulder, shook its pure white tail feathers, and said, "Ran Ran, I found it!"
Si Ran immediately asked: "Which direction?"
The seagulls yelled, "These desert lions are hungry again and are coming to eat us again!"
