Chapter 394 Golden Monkey Attacks People
Zhang Qiang lowered her eyes after being told that. The other people who were speaking passionately looked at each other, but no one moved first.
The assistant stood up, his eyes cold as he glanced at everyone. "It's okay. If you want to leave, I can take you down the mountain first. The rest of you can just follow Deputy Section Chief Yang down the mountain. If you continue to stay here, you will only complain about our institute and that Miss Lin is holding you back. There's really no need to put yourself in such a difficult position."
As the assistant finished speaking, she was met with complete silence.
Bai Xi ignored everyone and called Lin Ting with his cell phone to inquire about the situation. He called several times but no one answered.
Bai Xi couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
But now that things have gotten like this, even though he's worried and can't say it out loud, he just hopes Lin Ting can come back safely.
Seeing that no one moved, the assistant continued, "No one forced you to stay. Since you chose to stay, there's no need to continue complaining and sowing discord among the team."
The assistant was still met with silence in response.
Seeing that no one was rebellious, the young assistant stopped complaining and sat back next to Yangmei.
She didn't have a good impression of these college students. They had no abilities but were all conceited and lacked the discipline and experience of society.
After being scolded, several people sat quietly there, poking the soil on the ground with branches.
The scene was silent, with only the occasional bird calls.
The sun was setting in the west, and there was still no sign of Lin Ting in the distance. Yang Mei and the assistant looked at each other, and both saw worry in each other's eyes. After what had just happened, the two of them were reluctant to express their worries out loud and avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Yang Mei quietly moved to Bai Xi's side and asked in a low voice, "The sun is about to set. Can you contact Miss Lin and ask her when she will set?"
Not to mention that these students have already expressed their dissatisfaction in their hearts, and there will be many dangers if they continue to stay in the mountains after the sun sets.
At night, many nocturnal wild animals will frequently appear, and the mountains will be filled with miasma.
Most of these miasma contain toxins, and long-term inhalation is harmful to the human body.
Sunlight during the day can dispel the miasma, but it will gather again at night.
Many wild animals are familiar with the mountain environment, and these miasma pose no threat to them, but it is different for humans.
Bai Xi did not hide anything and said truthfully, "I have been calling Sister Ting, but it shows no one is answering the call."
Hearing this, Yang Mei couldn't help but frown, a hint of worry flashing across her eyes. She suppressed her worry, patted Bai Xi's shoulder and said comfortingly, "The signal is weak in the mountains. Miss Lin may not have a signal over there. Don't worry, we'll just wait a little longer."
"Xiao Zhang will wait for half an hour. If Miss Lin hasn't come down yet, Mr. Bai and I will stay and wait for Miss Lin to come down the mountain. You take these students and teachers back to the research institute first." Yang Mei said to the assistant in a cold voice.
Although these teachers and students did not help much, they are still valuable resources. If any accident happens in the reserve, the school and parents will blame them.
Xiao Zhang naturally understood the reason and nodded obediently in agreement.
After less than half an hour of silence, Zhang Qiang rubbed her rumbling stomach and couldn't help saying, "We won't blame the panda mother if we can't find her. There's no need to waste everyone's time looking for her.
Our main mission in the reserve this time was to rescue the golden snub-nosed monkeys. Now that the rescue has been completed, there is no need to meddle in this matter."
In addition, although several boys in the school also had complaints in their hearts, they had just been scolded, and even if they were a little dissatisfied, they did not dare to express it openly. They could only listen to Zhang Qiang's complaints and silently applauded Zhang Qiang in their hearts.
An excited voice rang out, interrupting the low and silent environment, "Look, Miss Lin is back."
As Gu Panpan's voice fell, everyone looked in the direction of Gu Panpan's finger, and saw Shen Shiran walking against the sunlight in the deep forest. There was a golden monkey sitting on her shoulder, and a red panda in her arms. The red panda and the golden monkey were so cute that people couldn't take their eyes off them, especially girls who stared at them.
The teachers and students of another school had only heard Gu Panpan talk about it but had not seen it with their own eyes. Now that they saw it with their own eyes, they were shocked.
Several girls also secretly took out their mobile phones to take pictures.
Amidst the chorus of envy and shock, Zhang Qiang sneered unseemly, "I thought he was so impressive, but he came back with a red panda. If you can't find it, you shouldn't have bothered looking. You've wasted so much of our time, and we've been bitten by bugs in the woods for so long."
Several boys sitting next to Zhang Qiang echoed.
"Yes, you're not familiar with this forest, yet you still want to take on this diamond. You should just let the research institute staff find it. You're trying to be a hero, and then come back covered in dust and dirt, carrying the red panda. It's really embarrassing."
"The staff at the institute have been working here for more than ten years, even decades. They are no less skilled than her. They can even find the panda mother more easily than she can."
"It's just good luck. I came across a golden monkey eating wild mushrooms. I thought I cured the monkey and was invincible in finding the red panda's mother. It's too much personal heroism. I don't know what Deputy Section Chief Yang values in her. He actually lectured us for her sake."
Several people did not deliberately lower their voices, and their harsh words reached everyone's ears.
Gu Panpan, who had been keeping a low profile, was no longer so. She put her hands on her waist and yelled back, "They say Miss Lin is full of personal heroism, but you guys are just following suit. You just abandoned the red panda and ran away. You didn't even have the luck to spot a golden monkey eating wild mushrooms. I think you're just sour grapes because you can't eat them."
Gu Panpan had disliked this group of people for a long time, but she didn't want to make a fuss because Lin Ting didn't come back, for fear of making things worse. Now that the real culprit is back, what else is there to be afraid of?
Now in Gu Panpan's eyes, Lin Ting is invincible.
There was no sound suppression in the forest, and the echoes even amplified all sounds infinitely. She did not miss any of the boys' words and could even hear them clearly.
They were all college students, and Lin Ting was too lazy to argue with them.
But the little golden monkey sitting on her shoulder was not obedient. Instead, it lay on her shoulder, leaned back, opened her backpack, took out some wild fruits given by the giant panda, turned around and threw them at the boys who were talking about Lin Ting.
The boys were caught off guard and were hit directly in the face by the golden monkeys. A wild fruit even hit one of the boys directly on the forehead, causing it to instantly become red and swollen. The boy covered his forehead and jumped up and down, saying, "Who hit me?"
Zhang Qiang wanted to curse too, but then she saw the golden monkey playing with the fruit. Then she looked at the wild fruit that fell to the ground after hitting her, and it was exactly the same as the fruit in the golden monkey's hand.
