Chapter 375 I Like Being a Salted Fish
When they arrived, the main force had already assembled. In order not to attract other people's attention, the two could only stand obediently at the back.
Then a middle-aged woman in sportswear came down from upstairs. She was wearing a pair of comfortable and loose sneakers and had short hair that reached her shoulders. She looked very cool.
"Is everyone here?" the woman asked the assistant next to her.
The assistant had just counted the people, "Deputy Section Chief Yang, everyone is here."
The woman nodded and said, "Good morning, everyone. Let me introduce myself. My name is Yang Mei, and I'm the deputy chief of the Wildlife Conservation Section at the conservation base. Today, I will be leading the team into the reserve.
Before entering the reserve, I have a few things to say. First, once inside, everyone must stay with the main group. No independent action is allowed, and no individual heroism is permitted. Anyone familiar with the reserve knows how dangerous it is. Not only are there large wild animals, but the terrain makes it easy to get lost. I encourage everyone to refrain from wandering around and hindering the group. Furthermore, please avoid touching the wild animals in the forest out of curiosity. Many of these animals are dangerous, and there are even poisonous insects in the forest. Be extremely careful to protect yourself.
"Also, I have some bad news for everyone. The golden snub-nosed monkey in question left its territory the day before yesterday and hasn't returned since. Once we enter the mountain, we need to first locate the monkey."
"Does anyone have any questions? If you do, please ask before you set off. If you don't have any questions, we will take a bus to the reserve, and then we will follow the arrangements made by the people at the reserve base." Yang Mei glanced at everyone.
A man standing in front of Lin Ting silently raised his hand. "Deputy Section Chief Yang, I have a question. From the previous video, we saw that even when the golden monkey had mental problems, it never left its territory. This time, it left its territory and hasn't returned. Is it because its mental condition has worsened?"
Yang Mei glanced at the man asking the question and said, "We're not sure if it's due to a worsening illness. Our people have gone into the mountains to look for the golden monkey, but they haven't found it yet. We dare not jump to conclusions before we have examined it. Our conclusions must be based on scientific evidence and facts. We must conduct an examination before we can give you an answer."
Yang Mei changed the subject and added, "If we could analyze the cause of the problem, we probably wouldn't have come to you."
"Everyone, please prepare everything you need. We are ready to enter the mountains. In addition, our institute has also prepared insect repellent spray for everyone. This is something our graduate students independently developed. Spray it on your body and after you enter the reserve, the smell will keep insects away.
"Distribute it first, and then spray it before entering the protected area." Yang Mei handed a small box to the assistant beside her and asked him to help distribute it.
The assistant moved quickly, distributing the items to each person according to the number of people.
Then everyone got on the bus one by one.
Including Deputy Section Chief Yang and his assistant, there were fifteen people in their group. In addition to the two of them, there were eleven teachers and students from the two campuses, two teachers and nine students. Two of the teachers were professors at the school and experts in small animals. This time, in addition to coming to see the golden monkeys, they also wanted to let the students participate in and experience rescuing wild animals.
The research institute is relatively close to the nature reserve, but it still took them a full hour and a half to reach the outskirts of the reserve.
The first hour of the journey was on the highway, and the next half hour we entered a rugged mountain road. It became more and more bumpy, and I almost felt like I was being shaken apart. There were two students in the car complaining.
Lin Ting and Bai Xi were placed at the back of the line because they arrived late. They and three other students got on the last car, which had two other cars in front.
There were so many of them that one car couldn't accommodate them all, so they had to split into five people in each car.
"It's so bumpy. I feel like my body is going to fall apart. Didn't they say that a road was being built in the reserve? Why is it still so bumpy?" One of the female classmates complained.
Another male classmate sitting next to the female classmate explained weakly, "I heard that a road was built, but it's only the outer road. We want to go deeper into the reserve, so the road hasn't been built. I heard that the deeper you go, the harder it is to walk. We'll probably have to hike the rest of the way."
"We still have to hike. I'm afraid I won't have the strength to go on." The female classmate looked dejected when she heard that.
Looking at how familiar the three of them are, it's obvious that they are not from the same school.
The three of them chatted about their trip and became relatively familiar with each other. The female classmate then turned to look at Lin Ting and Bai Xi who were sitting in the last row. "Where are you from, ladies? Why are there only two of you? Didn't your instructor come with you?"
"By the way, how is your physical strength, little sister? If not, we can team up. I don't see many girls in the team."
Lin Ting was originally dozing off, but when he heard the voice, he looked up at the girl in front of him. The girl was wearing a windbreaker, a simple ponytail, and holding a red schoolbag in her arms. She had a baby face and two beautiful dimples.
But he seems to be a chatterbox.
"Although we came here through the school's recommendation, we are now working people. Our physical strength is average, not too bad, but not too good either."
Since that incident, she started exercising and would go to the artificial lake near the old house every night.
Gradually, the body's functions gradually improved.
"You guys aren't college students? You look quite young, so I thought you were. So what does she do? Does she work at a zoo? Or an animal research institute?"
The girl's eyes sparkled, her face full of curiosity. It was obvious she had no ill intentions. Lin Ting didn't bother to refute her, and said calmly, "I own a pet hospital and have a partnership with the zoo."
"Many zoos have cooperation with external hospitals, and I was lucky enough to get the zoo's outsourcing cooperation."
As Lin Ting finished speaking, the three students in front of her turned their heads to look at her almost simultaneously. "It's really impressive that you can open your own veterinary hospital after graduation."
"We will probably just be working part-time in the future."
"Even if it's just a part-time job, I still want to work in a zoo. I heard the medical level in the zoo is very high and they also do some animal research."
"I'm different. I like to be a lazy person. After graduation, I just want to get a job in a reliable pet hospital. Miss, do you and I both run pet hospitals? Miss, what's the name of your pet hospital?" The girl took out her cell phone, obviously waiting for them to say the name before starting to search.
