Although there is no shortage of wild fruits in Denglou Mountain, every time Zhong Zichuan finds food, he gives it to the panda cub first. After it finishes eating, he fills his stomach with the remaining sour fruits.
This panda cub must have been pampered in the past. Even if it is a ripe fruit, as long as it is a little sour, he will only take a bite and then throw it away mercilessly.
Zhong Zichuan was not full to begin with, and every day he watched the panda cubs eating online up close, and looking at the half-eaten fruits, he suddenly became even hungrier.
The other person lives a carefree life.
He eats eight meals a day, each meal lasting half an hour, and sometimes he also has a small snack. He chases rabbits and plays with birds all the way. As long as he is hungry, he will snuggle into my arms and whimper non-stop.
On the one hand, Zhong Zichuan was so touched by its cuteness, but on the other hand, he was worried that it would expose his position if it kept barking, so he had to find food for it.
It was already late at night. He climbed up the tree again and finally picked some wild fruits. He endured his hunger and put them on the leaves and handed them to the man. Then he swallowed a few sour dates whole and turned around to get busy.
After making the bed, I turned around and saw that the panda cubs were already playing.
The skin of ripe fruit is fragile and will break with a slight touch. Zhong Zichuan had just protected it all the way and finally got it back, but now he was slapped to the ground.
The flesh was squeezed out and the red juice flowed all over the ground, sticking to the panda's body and dyeing its fur red.
After ruthlessly crushing a wild fruit, it excitedly began to play with a new one.
All the food that Zhong Zichuan was reluctant to eat was eaten by it.
Seeing this scene, Zhong Zichuan, who was still hungry, felt his blood pressure soar and took a deep breath.
Before he could say anything, the panda cub, who had been playing with food for a long time, saw the familiar bed and knew it was time to go to sleep. He immediately jumped over and pounced on the leaves.
Before it even landed, Zhong Zichuan stopped it, carried it back to the side of the mess, and patiently explained:
"We can't waste food. We can still find wild fruits now, but if we go further in, I'm not sure if there will be anything to eat. These are the ones I saved while I was hungry to give to you."
The panda cub was like a naughty child. When it felt that Zhong Zichuan's tone became stern, it first shrank its ears, and then began to whimper back with a stubborn expression.
Finally, realizing that she couldn't win the argument, she twisted her butt and broke free from his arms, ran away quickly, and sat down angrily next to a stone, leaving Zhong Zichuan with only a furry and round back.
Only one pair of ears stood up in anger.
Zhong Zichuan suddenly felt soft-hearted, but thinking that the road ahead might be even more difficult, he endured it and didn't go on. He turned around and lay down on the bed of leaves.
After nightfall, the temperature in the mountains drops rapidly.
He didn't make much preparation when he ran in, and now with the cold wind blowing, he could only curl up and cover himself with leaves.
His nerves have been extremely tense these days. He has to travel quickly and take care of the pandas. His energy has long been overdrawn.
As soon as I lay down, I felt sleepy.
Half asleep and half awake, Zhong Zichuan glanced at Sesame Tangyuan who was still sulking beside the stone, and slowly compromised in his heart.
never mind.
If he eats a lot, he can just find more in the future.
The panda cubs are growing and cannot go hungry.
If all else fails, you can also hunt and make a fire. As long as you cover the ashes well, you shouldn't be discovered.
As he was thinking, he soon fell into a dream.
The surroundings gradually became quiet, with only the occasional chirping of insects and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
The baby panda was still sitting behind the rock, waiting for a long time, but no one came to coax it. The wind blew its fur, making its back look even more desolate.
It carefully turned its head and quickly glanced at the person in the distance. When it found that the other person had fallen asleep, it looked even sadder.
When he usually sleeps, he holds it in his arms, and he feels warm and comfortable all over.
Just like when I was with my mom.
Not only was I mean to it today, I also didn't take it to sleep.
The baby panda came over angrily, stood behind Zhong Zichuan, stretched his neck and made a "嘤" sound.
The other party did not respond.
It anxiously circled around Zhong Zichuan, spotted a gap in his clothes, and started to crawl in with its butt sticking out.
However, Zhong Zichuan was curled up in a ball because it was too cold, and it couldn't get in at all. It cried out in anger.
Gulu——
A clear voice suddenly came into my ears.
The panda cub suddenly stopped moving, shook its ears, raised its head and stared at the direction where the sound came from, Zhong Zichuan's belly.
Gurgle——
Another sound.
It seemed to be frightened and stared at the person in front of it with wide eyes. After a while, it quickly came to the place where it had played before, but the wild fruits had been crushed by it and mixed with the soil. Now there was not a single one left.
Upon realizing this, the panda, who was still just a cub, stamped his feet angrily, then turned and walked towards the woods, as if remembering something.
After a while, the black and white ball disappeared into the darkness.
Zhong Zichuan was awakened by the cold.
When he went to bed yesterday, although the weather was cold, he held the baby panda and it felt like he was holding a heater, and his whole body was warm.
Today, the night wind blew, and his body temperature dropped rapidly, so cold that he had to open his eyes.
It was still pitch black around me and I couldn't tell the time.
He subconsciously felt his arms but didn't find the panda cub. Then he remembered that they had a conflict before and immediately turned to look not far away.
The stone was still there, but the sulking panda sitting next to it was gone.
"Dumpling?"
Zhong Zichuan shouted.
The woods were silent, without a single response.
He suddenly panicked and jumped up to look around, but he couldn't find the black and white shadow. His mind began to buzz.
Ever since it met the panda cub, it has been very clingy to him. Almost wherever he goes, the panda follows him, so Zhong Zichuan was able to fall asleep peacefully just now.
But unexpectedly, it is gone now!
Could it be that he got angry and ran away just because I mentioned it?
Zhong Zichuan was panicking. It was so cold in the mountains that he soon broke out in cold sweat.
A panda cub that can only act cute won't even have a chance to run away if it accidentally encounters a poacher chasing it.
At this point, he no longer cared about being exposed and quickly began to make fire by drilling wood, preparing to go deep into the woods to search.
Just as he lit the torch, he heard a rustling sound behind him. Zhong Zichuan's heart tightened. He slowly turned his head with the torch in hand and stared at the cluster of swaying bushes.
Hold the stone tightly with your other hand, and attack immediately if poachers appear.
Rustle, rustle.
The leaves were shaking more and more violently.
Zhong Zichuan clenched the stone tightly and was about to exert force.
Crash——
A round, furry fat butt suddenly emerged from the leaves, with its short tail raised high, swinging left and right, twisting and turning to squeeze out.
When Zhong Zichuan saw this familiar color combination, his movements froze in mid-air, and he looked at it in confusion.
The panda cub that had been missing for a long time was still trying hard to move backwards, kicking its four legs tightly. No one knew what it was doing, but it was using all its strength to suckle and making whimpering sounds.
Then there was another crash, and it finally broke free from the bushes and looked back suddenly.
Only then did Zhong Zichuan see that it was holding a gray rabbit in its mouth and was stunned.
"You went...hunting?"
Such a small panda can hunt?
Doesn't it just whimper and act cute to beg for food?
Zhong Zichuan was shocked at first, then he reacted quickly.
No matter how cute a panda is, it is still a bear with amazing bite force. In addition to eating bamboo and wild fruits, it also hunts small animals and is an omnivorous animal.
But the panda cub in front of him was still very small, and looked not much bigger than the rabbit. He didn't know how much effort it took to catch it.
The originally white fur has become dirty and tangled together, just like a big tabby cat.
As soon as it saw Zhong Zichuan wake up, it seemed very happy. It dragged the rabbit, which was already scared stiff, over and placed it in front of him, then nudged his calf with its head.
Zhong Zichuan opened his eyes wide.
"You caught this for me?"
Tuanzi uttered a "嘤" sound and was so tired that he just split his hind legs and sat on the ground to rest.
Zhong Zichuan felt like he was in hell just now, but when he saw this scene, small flowers instantly emerged from the soil, with crisp popping sounds, blooming one after another, all over the mountains and plains, instantly turning hell into heaven.
How many people in the world can be fed by panda cubs?
He was so excited that his heart was tightening. He picked up the dumpling on the ground and kissed it on the forehead.
"You are the cutest cub in the world!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but touch it all over again, rubbing its already messy fur even more tangled, then he held Tuanzi in one hand and the rabbit in the other and walked towards the stream.
Carefully wash the dirt and fruit pulp off the baby panda's body, restoring its white and clean appearance, then prepare the rabbit and make a fire to cook.
Ever since entering Denglou Mountain, he was worried that he would be discovered if he made a fire, so he had been holding back and not taking any action.
But the torch had been lit just now, and the rabbit that Tuanzi had caught specifically for him couldn't be wasted, so Zhong Zichuan simply made a fire by the river and ate the roasted rabbit while warming himself by the fire.
The firewood crackled and the dancing flames dispelled the darkness and cold, bringing real warmth.
Zhong Zichuan held the panda cub in his arms, turning it over and over to help dry its fur. Xiao Zang Zang immediately turned into a small stove, hugging his calves to keep them warm.
After eating and filling my stomach, my body warms up from the inside out.
He quickly covered up the traces on the ground, sat on a leaf and prepared to sleep. Seeing the panda cub still standing not far away, he hesitated and did not dare to approach.
Zhong Zichuan opened his coat and waved at it.
"Tuanzi, come here."
Zizi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he immediately pounced over and dove into Zhong Zichuan's coat. He turned around and hid his whole body inside, leaving only his head exposed.
Zhong Zichuan lay down by the small stove, feeling warm in his chest.
"It's time to go to bed. We have to keep moving forward tomorrow."
The depths of the mountains became quiet again.
The panda cub pricked up its ears, listened to the whistling wind, rubbed forward, and slowly fell asleep against Zhong Zichuan's face.
the next day.
As soon as the sky brightened, Zhong Zichuan cleaned up the traces he had left behind, moved a few stones, and stacked them in a pattern under the tree.
"This way, the captain should know it's me."
This was the secret code Xiao He taught him during his wilderness survival training. A few stones were placed in the corner. Others couldn't see anything unusual, but Xiao He would definitely spot it at a glance.
"let's go."
After making the mark, Zhong Zichuan picked up Tuanzi who was stuck on the tree and successfully took him down, and continued to walk forward.
They had just left when the wind blew and a tuft of white panda hair hanging on the tree branch fell onto the stones piled up by Zhong Zichuan.
After a short two-hour nap, as the sky brightened, the foot of the mountain became noisy again.
The search and rescue operation last night did not yield any results, so we gathered again today and are ready to continue our journey.
Search and rescue is much easier during the day, and everyone is full of confidence.
Xiao He first went to find police officer Chen Chunlai to discuss the search and rescue direction. When he went to gather, many people had already arrived.
Aunt Ping, who was so frightened last night and said she wanted to push the rescue team out, was now standing in the team, carrying a big bag on her back. She enthusiastically tore open the corn bags and distributed them to the search and rescue team.
The others stood by, seemingly not having slept enough, with drooping eyelids and yawning. Only Lili was full of energy and ran over immediately when she saw Xiao He.
The things related to Zhong Zichuan on the backpack were jingling against each other, and it seemed like there were a few more than yesterday.
"Sister Xiao He, we will definitely find Zhong Zichuan today!"
Xiao He nodded slightly and scanned everyone's faces. Except for a few people wearing masks and unable to see clearly, no one had any injuries on their faces.
With the force of my punch yesterday, there would definitely be injuries.
While thinking, Xiao He's eyes moved around the people wearing masks twice more.
"Why is there one person missing?"
Aunt Ping immediately made a face with a frown and a look of resentment.
"Just now, the reporter said he wanted to interview the search and rescue team. Ye Laosan went. He wasn't very active during the search and rescue, but he was very good at stealing the limelight on TV. It's my fault for being a step late. I should have been the one to interview them. I have everything ready..."
She kept complaining.
Xiao He walked in the direction she pointed, and sure enough, he saw Ye Lao San being interviewed.
He was still wearing yesterday's clothes and still looked like he had just come from the fields. He held the microphone in one hand to his chest and was answering reporters' questions. He seemed like a different person when he spoke, his words were organized and clear.
Compared with other people who speak with accents or stutter nervously, I seem a little out of place.
"The reporter who is interviewing is the one who is walking and watching." Brother Jian came over and introduced her.
Hearing this, Xiao He looked over there and saw a "Walk and See" logo hanging on the reporter's microphone.
Brother Jian continued, "Didn't you ask me last night to check how many villagers from Xiahe Village had come to participate in the search and rescue? I've already got the list."
Xiao He quickly took it, glanced at it, and frowned immediately.
"There's no Ye Lao San up there."
"That's right."
Xiao He: "Besides, there is no Aunt Ping either."
Brother Jian nodded and explained, "Xiahe Village said that because Denglou Mountain is too dangerous, the villagers they called in are all strong and healthy young people. No one over 40 will come. Neither of them meets the requirements, and their names are not on the list at all."
"Then how did they get in?"
"It seems the police are already investigating another case and haven't been able to stop. Now the media is involved. Just finding the person is already overwhelming. We can't handle so many people. Many people who signed up voluntarily have passed. As long as they are not bad guys, it's fine. Finding Zhong Zichuan is the priority."
"Not bad guys? I think there are more than just the two of them sneaking in."
As she spoke, Xiao He looked up at Ye Lao San who was being interviewed. The other party noticed her gaze, immediately put away the microphone, skillfully reeled up the cord, handed it to the reporter, and then hurried over.
As soon as he arrived in front of them, he turned into an honest and simple farmer.
"I've never seen so many people before. I feel embarrassed."
Xiao He nodded slightly and said, "We're going into the mountains soon, you should get ready too."
"good!"
As soon as Ye Lao San left, Brother Jian hurriedly whispered, "You still let them follow you? You don't even know if they're human or ghost. What if something goes wrong?"
"If we chase them away now without evidence, we'll only alert the enemy. We won't be able to arrest them, and where will we find them in the future? I'll be watching over them, so nothing will happen."
After saying that, he quickly walked towards the entrance of Denglou Mountain.
At this time, Denglou Mountain was bathed in sunshine, and the thick fog was pushed away, revealing the youthfulness and beauty of a young girl, observing every visitor through the mist.
Continue exploring from the end of yesterday's search and rescue.
The formation was similar to yesterday. Wei Tu was walking in the front wearing a thick black coat, a hat and a mask. His pace was so fast that he would disappear if you were not careful.
Lili followed Xiao He closely, asking about Zhong Zichuan's situation with concern.
Aunt Ping was obviously a little afraid of Ye Lao San. She kept a distance from him and looked around in horror from time to time, as if the shock of last night had continued until now.
During the entire morning search and rescue process, Zhong Zichuan was still not found.
However, Xiao He still found some tiny traces as he observed along the way.
Because it was deliberately covered up, it was not discovered last night, but was exposed as soon as the sun rose today.
Xiao He quickly followed the traces left along the road while updating the search and rescue team on the direction of tracking. It was not until noon that he finally found several stones deliberately placed together under a tree.
Because it was half covered by fallen leaves, and there were rubbles visible at any time on the mountain, ordinary people could not find anything unusual.
However, this method of giving directions was something Xiao He had used before during the apocalypse.
She had taught Zhong Zichuan this method during his wilderness survival training.
It seems that they at least found the right direction.
It is early winter now, and the trees on Denglou Mountain have entered the leaf-shedding period. Judging from the fallen leaves on the rocks, it can be roughly judged that it was less than half a day when Zhong Zichuan passed by here.
She brushed aside the fallen leaves and looked carefully.
"Sister Xiao He, is this the mark made by Zhong Zichuan?" Lili asked.
Xiao He didn't say anything. Instead, Ye Lao San and Aunt Ping hurried over and carefully observed the stones on the ground, their faces full of confusion.
"What is this?"
Ye Laosan suddenly bent down and picked up a handful of dew-covered white hair on the ground.
"A tuft of hair?" Aunt Ping raised her voice curiously.
"It doesn't seem like ordinary fur..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Tu, who was walking in front, suddenly ran back and snatched the white hair from Ye Lao San's hand.
“This is panda hair!”
He exclaimed.
Everyone immediately turned around in shock and saw that Wei Tu, who usually had no expression, was extremely excited at this moment, with an astonishing light in his eyes.
"Are there pandas here?" Lili asked curiously.
Ye Lao San frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "The environment here is not suitable for pandas to survive. Could it be the hair of other animals? There are many animals with white fur in the forest. Could it be a rabbit?"
Wei Tu did not answer, but his expression remained excited. He held the panda hair in his hands, looking intoxicated.
"Have you picked it up before?" Xiao He asked.
Hearing this, the smile on Wei Tu's face disappeared instantly and he shook his head.
“No, no…”
Xiao He pointed directly at his coat pocket and said, "The hair you hid in your pocket is showing."
It was a large ball of animal hair mixed with white and black. It was a very big ball. I don’t know how many times I picked it up to accumulate so much.
Wei Tu's expression instantly turned panicky, and he covered his pocket.
"This... I picked this up randomly a while ago. I wasn't sure at the time..."
At this time, Ye Lao San said seriously: "How could there be a panda on this mountain? Right on the path that Zhong Zichuan escaped? Are they connected in some way?"
Xiao He put the hair back and said, "Whether there is any connection or not, we'll know once we find Zhong Zichuan. Let's keep going."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked forward.
Others immediately followed.
Ye Laosan looked at the stone mark on the ground, hesitated for a few seconds before following.
Xiao He walked in front, carefully thinking about what had happened in the past two days.
First there was the phone call from Zhong Zichuan, then someone broke into his house and rummaged through things, forcing him to flee to the mountains, and now there was the tuft of hair that was found.
What happened seemed to be slowly becoming clearer.
Could it be that the little animal discovered by Zhong Zichuan is a national treasure?
If that were the case, everything would make sense.
Someone may have taken a panda away from the reserve, and an accident happened on the way. The panda was met by Zhong Zichuan, so he called him.
The panda was most likely still a cub, otherwise those people wouldn't have searched through the cardboard box.
The size of those cardboard boxes is just big enough to hide a panda cub.
In order to protect the panda cubs, Zhong Zichuan fled to Denglou Mountain.
It's something he would do.
Now that he is carrying the panda, his escape speed should not be fast, but this will make it more complicated for people to infiltrate the search and rescue team.
Xiao He was thinking about it when Aunt Ping came over again and said nervously:
"There must be something wrong with that Wei Tu!"
"What's the problem?"
"Look at him. He doesn't say a word, but he's more familiar with the mountain environment than I am. And just now, when he saw that tuft of hair, he got so excited and said it was a panda... I grew up in Xiahe Village. How could there be pandas here?"
Xiao He listened for a while and said, "But last night, you said that there was something wrong with Ye Lao San. So who is the bad guy between the two of them?"
Hearing this, Aunt Ping frowned and hesitated.
Just as he was about to answer, he glanced behind him and suddenly let out a cry of surprise.
"He's gone again!"
Xiao He looked back and saw that Ye Lao San, who was walking at the end, had disappeared without a trace.
This is not the first time that Ye Laosan has disappeared.
After entering Denglou Mountain last night, he has been elusive, disappearing for a while and then suddenly reappearing.
"Everyone is searching and rescuing, but he doesn't care at all. He's acting sneaky and has no good intentions!" Aunt Ping complained.
Xiao He looked back and said nothing, "In that case, let's eat something here first to replenish our energy and wait for him to come back."
They had been searching since they set out in the morning, trekking through mountains and rivers, and their physical strength was exhausted. If they didn't rest, they might collapse.
Even Wei Tu, who had been excited since discovering the panda fur, now sat down obediently and began to eat the dry food distributed by the police.
Seeing this, Aunt Ping opened the bag she brought again and took out a few corns from it.
Today's corn has to be cooked together with the packaging bag. Aunt Ping's name is written on the yellow packaging bag, which is a logo.
“I brought some food, which I cooked this morning, but it’s cold now.
"Let's boil some water. It's better to eat something hot." Lili suggested.
After saying that, several people quickly got busy.
I lit the fire and roasted the corn again. The golden corn kernels burst open and the aroma wafted in the air.
It’s just that Aunt Ping didn’t open the plastic packaging bag when she cooked it in the morning, so in addition to the aroma of corn, you can also smell a strong smell of plastic.
However, this taste had no effect on Xiao He.
She ate five corns quickly and efficiently before Ye Lao San finally arrived.
The other person had a smile on his face, but when he saw that everyone was sitting there waiting for him, he paused and smiled awkwardly.
"Excuse me, I just went to the bathroom."
After saying that, he walked over and took a corn from Lili's hand. He smelled it, a look of disgust appeared on his face, and he forced himself to eat two bites.
This expression seemed to anger Aunt Ping, and she stood up immediately.
"This is a pure natural green product, sold directly from the place of origin. What do you mean by looking disgusted?"
"No……"
Ye Lao San wanted to explain, but Aunt Ping noticed the bag he always carried with him and immediately asked, "Did you have something delicious in it? So you were in such a hurry to go on TV and be interviewed. Were you thinking about advertising?"
As he spoke, he reached out to grab it.
Ye Laosan was startled by her actions and quickly dodged backwards.
“There’s no food in here.”
The nervous look made Aunt Ping even more suspicious.
"Could it be that he is carrying something shameful?"
"Don't touch it! You can't afford to pay for it if you break it!"
Ye Laosan suddenly raised his voice and shouted, glaring at Aunt Ping with a frown and a fierce look.
This gesture startled Aunt Ping. She slowly withdrew her movements and muttered, "What good things can a farmer have that I can't afford to pay for?"
Ye Laosan frowned and said nothing.
Xiao He frowned as he watched.
"Stop arguing, let's set off after we finish eating. We're less than halfway up the mountain, and we still have to keep looking down."
After hearing this, the two finally stopped arguing.
Aunt Ping picked up her bag again and muttered as she passed Xiao He, "There's definitely something wrong with him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his expression gradually became distorted, his face turned pale, and he suddenly squatted on the ground, holding his stomach.
"My stomach... hurts so much! It hurts so much!"
Immediately afterwards, the expressions of the others also changed, and they all covered their pants and started shouting.
"stomachache!"
"I'm in so much pain too, it hurts so much!"
…
Wei Tu, Lili, and Ye Lao San, who had just been arguing with Aunt Ping, all sat on the ground in pain, with painful expressions on their faces.
"There must be something wrong with the corn!" Ye Lao San cursed angrily.
Aunt Ping cried out in pain and said anxiously, "My corn is pure natural green food, freshly purchased from the village. Don't accuse me of anything!"
"Who told you to cook it with the packaging? We must have eaten the plastic and got poisoned!"
Hearing this, Aunt Ping looked guilty.
"I...if I don't do that, how will others be able to see the trademark?"
"Sister Xiao He, doesn't your stomach hurt?" Lili asked in surprise.
Xiao He's expression was calm.
"I'm fine."
Not to mention a little corn with a plastic smell, even a laxative wouldn't necessarily knock her out.
Hearing this, Lily frowned and said, "You're in great shape."
Xiao He checked everyone.
"Can you still hold on?"
Lili shook her head and frowned, "No, Sister Xiaohe, we really can't walk anymore."
Seeing this, Xiao He could only give up temporarily.
"Then let's go back first."
It just so happened that she also had something to do and wanted to go back to check.
Several people quickly returned, and as soon as they left Denglou Mountain, the four were sent to a nearby hospital.
Xiao He went to find Brother Jian as if nothing had happened.
"Why are you back so early?"
Xiao He opened the door of the broadcast vehicle, blocking the view of others, and said directly: "Someone poisoned them. Everyone else in my team was knocked down and sent to the hospital."
Brother Jian was so frightened that he jumped up from his chair.
"What? Poisoning?!"
Xiao He nodded.
According to her experience, even if you cook corn with the packaging bag and only eat one or two, the toxicity will not be so serious that people will need to go to the hospital.
Moreover, because Ye Laosan came back late and disliked the taste of the corn, he only ate two bites.
The attack occurred right after I finished eating.
Someone definitely added something to the corn.
Xiao He took out two bags and placed them on the table.
"Do you know anyone in the laboratory? Send the contents there for testing."
"no problem!"
Brother Jian nodded quickly and picked it up to take a look.
There was uneaten corn in one bag and a tuft of white hair in the other.
At this time, Xiao He pointed at the tuft of hair and said, "Focus on testing this. Tell me the results immediately. This is related to Zhong Zichuan's safety."
If it is really panda hair, the previous speculation is almost correct.
"good!"
Brother Jian was just about to leave with the samples.
After taking two steps, he turned back to look at Xiao He in confusion, looking her up and down with a worried look in his eyes.
"Your team was poisoned... You didn't eat the corn, did you?"
"have eaten."
Not only did he eat them, he ate five of them in one go.
Brother Jian’s eyes suddenly widened.
"Are you okay then? Do you feel any discomfort now?"
Xiao He looked calm.
"If you want to drug me, you need at least half a pound of it."
“…”
Brother Jian trembled and silently gave a thumbs up.
You are worthy of it.
Both physical defense and magical defense are maxed out.
Soon, he rushed to send the samples to a research laboratory he knew.
The white hair was put into the instrument for testing and the results were available soon.
"This is actually panda hair," the chemist asked.
Brother Jian looked confused.
"Panda? Why did Xiao He ask me to test panda hair?"
Hearing this, the chemist said, "Xiao He is your agent, right? Aren't they searching for that celebrity? This incident has been on the headlines recently, and I've been following it."
Brother Jian nodded.
"Now I don't understand what's going on. Thank you for this. I will definitely treat you to a meal another day."
After saying that, he quickly left with the test results.
As soon as he left, the laboratory technician turned on the computer and entered the two test processes into the database according to regulations.
Just after I pressed submit, a few minutes later, the phone in the laboratory suddenly rang.
As soon as the call was connected, a serious voice came from the other end:
"Hello, I'm Detective Jin Cheng from the International Crimes Division. I'm investigating a transnational crime and hope for your cooperation. The system has detected that you've just entered panda DNA data. Where did you obtain this data?"
Jin Cheng has been tracking a transnational criminal group.
The criminal group has been poaching precious wild animals in the country and transporting them abroad for sale through illegal trafficking.
Half a month ago, the group received a large order. The seller offered a high price and hoped to purchase a live panda.
Pandas have always been a rare commodity in the international black market. Both their fur and bones are worth a fortune, and live pandas are even more expensive, making them popular with poachers.
There are two types of giant pandas in China. One type is raised in bases and is guarded by layers of security, making it impossible to steal them.
The other type is in the wild. Although there are dedicated people to protect them, there will always be omissions because the protected area is too large.
After Jin Cheng received the news, he immediately rushed to the reserve.
But they were still a step too late. When they arrived, a big hole had been cut in the protective net, and some panda cub hair was left on the ground.
However, when they tracked the suspect to this area, they suddenly lost all clues and all their investigations seemed to have reached a dead end.
Until just now, the system suddenly detected the DNA data of the panda cub, which appeared in the laboratory's archives.
"You mean, Xiao He had someone send those panda furs?" Jin Cheng looked surprised.
He still remembered Xiao He.
After receiving the report of the missing case that day, they were worried that it might be related to the panda and even went to the scene to check it out.
Xiao He was the missing person's agent, and his calm and composed appearance at the time left a deep impression on him.
"I saw on the news that Xiao He and the others should be searching for a rescue operation right now, right? Where did she get the panda hair? Is it the one we're looking for?" Xiao Zhang asked.
Jin Cheng frowned and thought for a while, then immediately hung up the phone.
"Let's go to climb Loushan Mountain."
At this time, Xiao He was holding the freshly-made test report in his hand while watching TV.
The anchor of the news channel is reporting a breaking news:
"...A five-year-old panda named Beibei bit through the protective netting and left the reserve alone. Judging from the footprints it left behind, this female panda is heading towards City A. Its specific location has not yet been tracked..."
"Experts say pandas rarely leave their territories on their own initiative and have never had the habit of migrating. What exactly is the reason that makes them do this..."
