Chapter 409 Sneaking into the Protected Area
In addition to the South China tiger, there are other large wild animals in the forest, such as leopards, black bears, and crocodiles.
They may not be the rivals of the panda parents, but they are definitely the rivals of the red panda.
"Let's go back quickly, there are other companions waiting for us here." Lin Ting said this and walked back the same way.
She had just taken a few steps when her mother panda stopped her and handed her a hand-cranked coffee pot.
"A gift for Xiangxiang humans. It's fun. You can spin it and powder will fall out."
The mother panda demonstrated to Lin Ting by turning the joystick, and the unground coffee beans inside turned into powder and leaked out from the outlet.
The moment she saw the hand-cranked coffee pot, Lin Ting frowned slightly. She asked urgently, "Where did this come from?"
The local forestry bureau and official media have released numerous videos to the public, strictly prohibiting individuals from entering the protected area without permission. This is not only to protect the ecological environment of the protected area, but also for the safety of their lives and property. There are many wild animals in the protected area, and if they enter without any protection, they will only die.
There is also miasma in the forest at night. Although these miasma seem non-toxic, long-term inhalation is harmful to human health.
There are always some college students, explorers, and internet celebrities who sneak into the protected area regardless of their lives. Some internet celebrities do this to create an atmosphere and gain traffic, while those college students and explorers do it purely for adventure and secondly for traffic.
The prerequisite for adventure is to have life to live and take risks.
To rashly enter the depths of the protected area is to seek death.
Panda parents rarely go outside the reserve and rarely come into contact with humans. This hand-cranked coffee pot could not have been given by humans and could only have been picked up deep in the reserve.
Thinking of this possibility, Lin Ting didn't know whether to be angry or sigh.
The panda mother quickly gave the answer.
'I found it.'
As expected, someone had sneaked into the depths of the protected area.
"Where did you pick it up? Can you take me there to see it?" Lin Ting asked softly.
"Sure, besides this fun thing, there are other weird things. Bear didn't recognize them and didn't pick them up, so he picked up this one."
Before leaving, Lin Ting called Bai Xi and informed them of the situation, telling them not to worry. He also asked Bai Xi to help call the police to see if anyone was not afraid of death and had secretly entered the protected area.
After seeing Bai Xi hang up the phone, Assistant Zhang nervously stepped forward and asked, "Is that Miss Lin calling? What happened to her?"
"Sister Ting found a hand-cranked coffee pot in the woods. She suspected someone had broken into the reserve, so she went to investigate with the giant pandas and golden monkeys. She told us to wait there and called the police to investigate any recent missing persons or those who had sneaked into the reserve."
Bai Xi did not hide anything and told the assistant everything.
The young assistant's face immediately turned ugly, mainly because he was angry.
"We're told every day not to enter wildlife reserves without permission because it's extremely dangerous, but some people don't listen and sneak into reserves just for a little traffic. They get the traffic, but I don't know if they risk their lives just to waste it."
The assistant gradually calmed down after complaining. "Call the police. The research institute and the Forestry Bureau are working together. I'll call the Forestry Bureau and ask them to check the surveillance cameras near the reserve to see if anyone has sneaked into the reserve in the past few days."
Bai Xi did not refute, but nodded obediently. The two of them divided the work and started making the phone call.
At the same time, Shen Shiran followed the footsteps of the panda parents and walked deep into the forest.
The further you go in, the denser the trees become. With the trees growing in such a crisscross pattern, there is no sunlight at all below the forest. Even if it hasn't rained for many days, the soil is still muddy and the weeds are covered with dew that has not been exposed to the sun.
Knowing that there would be heavy dew in the morning, Lin Ting specially wore a pair of waterproof shoes and waterproof hiking pants before entering the mountain, so he didn't have to worry about water droplets.
After walking for a while, the panda parents brought her to a slope. There was little vegetation near the slope, but there was a lot of garbage thrown on the ground. In addition to the discarded garbage bags and food bags, there were also two open tents on the side.
A simple folding table was set up next to the tent. On the table was a gas stove, and on the stove was a small milk pot. There was some cooked but uneaten instant noodles in the pot. However, the instant noodles were no longer clean, and were covered with dust, insects, and fallen leaves. Judging from the degree of mold on the instant noodles, it seemed that they had been left here for several days.
In addition to these, there were several backpacks left next to the tent.
Lin Ting opened the backpack and took a look. Inside the backpack were clothes, water, a flashlight, and a compass, all of which were essential items for survival in the wild. Even if he was going to leave, he should not leave behind these survival items.
From the unfinished instant noodles on the table, it can be inferred that the group of people who sneaked into the reserve chose to set up camp here. When they were resting, a large wild animal appeared, or they were chased by something more terrifying. They didn't even have time to pack up, and fled to the woods with important and valuable items.
The forest was filled with vegetation, making it difficult to identify what large wild animal was chasing them.
The little golden monkey ran out of the tent holding a big apple.
The little golden monkey presented it to Lin Ting like a treasure.
"Can you eat it, sister?"
Lin Ting checked the freshness of the apple. It hadn't been there for more than a week. She took out a wet tissue from her pocket and wiped the apple inside and out. "It's edible. Go ahead and eat it."
The red panda took out a bottle of yogurt from the backpack placed next to the tent and gave it to Lin Ting.
"Sister, can I drink this?"
“Yes.”
After hearing this, Lin felt something was not right. She actually brought the little animals here to loot the victims' belongings.
I just don't know if there are any survivors among this group of people.
never mind.
Golden monkeys and red pandas eat other people's food, so they have to help find it in return.
She whistled towards the depths of the forest, and immediately a bird flew towards her. She took the opportunity to ask the system to help her turn on the animal affinity scent.
One of the sparrows landed directly on her shoulder.
"It's the humans who are calling the birds."
"Yes, I would like to ask you for a favor." Lin Ting said as she took out the compressed biscuits from her schoolbag and soaked them in water. After the water softened the compressed biscuits, she divided them into two portions and gave them to Fei Lai Sparrow.
The sparrow that had originally landed on Lin Ting's shoulder saw the delicious food and immediately flew to the table and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
They have lived in this forest for many years. Apart from eating insects on the trees, they also eat ripe fruits. They rarely eat human food. Even the compressed biscuits that are not very delicious are eaten with relish by them.
"What service can a sparrow render to a fair human?"
