203 True and False Daughter
◎Your brother went out for something urgent.◎
At night, Ye Zhizhi liked to stay alone on the third floor, which had been transformed into a primitive jungle style. She felt very safe there. Many rooms that could be connected had been connected. Although it was not as realistic as a jungle cave, it still gave her some comfort.
The cleanly washed snake skin was spread messily on the jade bed, a huge package was placed on her chin, she was lying on the bed with her legs up, and a mobile phone was placed in front of her.
Now she is addicted to playing Candy Crush, the animal version, and trying her best to keep the little wolf.
Ye Zhizhi looked at the colorful little animals all over the screen, and his finger tapping slowed down, and the relaxed look on his face disappeared unconsciously.
A video invitation suddenly popped up at the top of the phone.
Ye Zhizhi's finger just touched it and jumped to the video interface.
"Zhizhi..."
The figure on the screen was stuttering and distorted sounds were heard.
Ye Zhizhi looked down and thought for a moment before remembering it was Qin Fei! The human world was so rich and colorful, Ye Zhizhi had long forgotten Qin Fei...
She suddenly sat up straight, held her phone in both hands, and looked forward.
Behind the person in the slightly stuck video was a white background and she couldn't see anything. She suddenly felt a little lost.
"Are you used to being back home? Has anyone bullied you?"
After the signal was intermittent for a while, it finally stabilized. Qin Fei wanted to explain why it took so long to contact her, but when he saw the little girl's lost look, he became worried.
Since the Ye family values her so much, would they let her suffer any injustice?
Ye Zhizhi shook his head, his expression still very depressed, and looked at Qin Fei with his eyes wide open.
Qin Fei seemed to understand something. She saw the video shaking and heard regular footsteps. Soon, the quiet background became very noisy. The sound of dripping rain came from the mobile phone, also beating at her heart.
Qin Fei flipped the camera. He stood outside. It was still raining and the sky was foggy.
"It's still raining now. The rainy season is only halfway over. The rain has slowed down a bit these days, and the impact on the base is not that great. The signal has recovered a little."
Qin Fei stayed at the base. The rainy season came the day after Ye Zhizhi and his group left.
After the rainy season begins, the base will be almost isolated from the outside world. The signal there will be greatly affected, and communication with the outside world will be intermittent.
Qin Fei tried to send a message to Ye Zhizhi, wanting to check on her situation, but the message was unsuccessful. However, before the rainy season, he had asked his cousin to pay more attention to her and lend a hand when she needed help, so he thought nothing would happen.
Now the heavy rain has finally subsided a bit, the signal has been restored intermittently, and we have finally been able to get in touch.
Ye Zhizhi stared at the phone without blinking.
On the other side of the base, Qin Fei stood on the edge of the building with a relaxed posture. The rain could hit where he was standing. Soon his shoulders were wet, but he put his hand over the camera to prevent it from being blurred by the rain.
From Ye Zhizhi's perspective, the scene opposite was like being in the rain.
She didn't know if there was a difference between the rain outside the base and in the jungle, but this was the closest she was to it at the moment.
Ye Zhizhi listened to Qin Fei's low words in his ears, but his thoughts were floating thousands of miles away.
She knew that during this period of the rainy season, not every day was filled with heavy rain, thunder and lightning. There would be ten or so days where the rain would subside. She and her tribe would take advantage of these times to go out and hunt for prey to ensure sufficient food for the second half of the rainy season.
This period of time seemed to be the rain god's mercy to all living things, preventing them from starving to death due to lack of food.
...So it had only been two months since she left the jungle? She thought it had been ages.
Ye Zhizhi's eyes were moist, as if the rain was hitting her eyes through the screen.
I miss home a little... just a little.
Snap——
Boom——
Ye Zhizhi suddenly heard the sound of lightning and thunder. She suddenly thought she was in a cave and only then did she catch the noise.
Until another flash of lightning appeared outside the window, illuminating the dark window for a moment.
Ye Zhizhi looked up, rushed to the window barefoot, opened the window, and it started to rain heavily outside, as if it was in sync with the rain in the jungle.
There was a strong wind outside, and the cool breeze blew over, making the curtains sway. However, Ye Zhizhi felt that the wind, rain, thunder and lightning in the human world were all weak. Compared with the jungle, it was like the difference between level one and level 12.
The signal from Qin Fei's end became unstable again, perhaps due to the weather. "Kyoto...it rains...after...contact..."
Qin Fei's voice was intermittent, the screen froze, and the next moment, he automatically hung up.
Ye Zhizhi shook her phone, poked it out the window, then took it back and looked at it. She tried to click to reconnect, but she could no longer get through.
Can't see it.
Ye Zhizhi felt lost. She turned her head to look out the window. After looking for a while, she felt bored. However, she did not close the window and lay back on the bed.
The window was not closed, so it was not so quiet. She could hear the sound of rain and occasional lightning and thunder.
She had no interest in playing games anymore.
Instead, he opened the search software, entered the name of the jungle, and wanted to search for related information.
However, the information about Mist Forest on the Internet is just some official information, and there is very little real information.
When she was studying, there was a mention of it in the geography book, but it was just like asking what the highest peak in the world was. It was just briefly introduced as the largest forest and area in the world.
Although she had never been to the world's recognized highest peak, Ye Zhizhi felt that it was not right. The world's highest peak should be in the jungle, but people had never seen it, so they didn't know it.
Ye Zhizhi saw so many peaks in the jungle. You thought you had reached the top of a mountain, but in fact you were at the foot of another mountain. Climbing higher, you would see even higher peaks...
Ye Zhizhi was inexplicably confident that all the best in the world were in that forest.
Her proud expression disappeared in an instant, and then turned into solemnity.
It was a huge treasure, and countless people coveted it, trying to get a glimpse of the true face of Mount Lu.
The various buffs added to the forest in the original work have materialized in reality, and after free evolution and development, it has become the most mysterious land public area.
People divided the public area into thirteen districts based on the regions.
The outer area, which only occupies about one-tenth of the public area, is divided into twelve areas along the edge, and the inner area with the largest area is called the central area.
While traces of human activities can still be found in the outer area, humans are extinct in the inner area because, with human capabilities alone, they would have lost their lives due to various accidents before reaching the inner area.
However, only four major powers, including the Flower Kingdom, are truly capable of spending huge amounts of money on long-term and in-depth research.
Everyone tacitly built their research bases on the edge of the public area in different directions, which were a world apart. The base she stayed in after she came out was their country's research base.
This common land area has been observed and studied by humans for thousands of years, but people have only explored a small part of it.
Ye Zhizhi couldn't help but feel anxious when he thought about the humans who were persevering in exploring the jungle. This was not just the behavior of one or two people, but countries all over the world were looking at it with covetous and greedy eyes.
She couldn't find a distribution map of human bases on the Internet, and the information she had was only briefly mentioned.
Fortunately, the special environment inside has effectively protected the jungle. Humans have explored it for thousands of years and have only been wandering around the periphery.
Ye Zhizhi has been walking in the jungle for many years, and combined with speculation, it is easy to deduce that the places with the most human corpses are all on the periphery. The cave where she and Xiaohua stayed later and where they encountered the pack of wolves are on the periphery, closer to the middle boundary between the inside and the outside. The distinction should be the mountain that Xiaohua took her through by water.
Further in was still the middle zone, where human bones could occasionally be seen. That was the depth where humans could occasionally reach. Further forward, it was close to the edge of the central area, which was the wolf pack's former territory. No humans should have reached that area, and she had never seen any human corpses.
Human skeletons can be seen further ahead in Da Mo's territory. Da Mo's territory is in the middle area...
The central area was the more dangerous place she had visited during her training with the wolf pack, and now the tribe’s new territory also belonged to the central area.
In other words, she actually spent most of those sixteen years wandering between the middle zone and the central area.
A clearer map was redrawn in Ye Zhizhi's mind.
When she took Qin Fei and Duoduo out, it took them a month to get out because she knew the way and didn't take many detours. Without her, they would not be able to reach the cave even if they spent four or five times as long.
Humans can only stay in the jungle for a short time, only five months at most. No matter how far they walk, they cannot reach the middle area.
Ye Zhizhi thought over and over again in his mind that as long as humans still cared about the things in it, no one would dare to destroy it, and the jungle would still be safe.
Ye Zhizhi felt much more at ease when he thought about it.
Because he was worried about something, Ye Zhizhi slept very late at night. It was a rare opportunity to sleep in, so he walked down with his head down.
The Husky, who was rolling a ball in the house out of boredom, came running over, wagging its tail and howling excitedly.
Ye Zhizhi let out a cry.
Erha immediately followed Ye Zhizhi obediently, not leaving his side for a moment.
Yu Jingyao was sitting on the sofa on the first floor, reading a financial magazine. A cup of hot tea was placed on the coffee table in front of her. When she heard someone coming downstairs, she turned around and said with a smile, "Are you hungry? Go have breakfast, it's being heated up."
Ye Zhizhi raised his head and turned to the restaurant.
When the servant saw Ye Zhizhi get up, he took action immediately and brought out the breakfast that Wen had prepared in the kitchen.
Ye Zhizhi didn't have much of an appetite. After eating three buns in a row, she held the fourth bun in her mouth and chewed it slowly.
Yu Jingyao sat over and talked about what happened today with a smile.
"The autumn and winter clothes I ordered have all been delivered. I'll try them on later and send them back for modifications if they don't fit."
Ye Zhizhi nodded obediently and listened to Yu Jingyao carefully.
It was still drizzling outside, but Ye Zhizhi felt a sense of quietness. She turned her head and looked around. Where was her brother?
Today is the weekend, and it's a rare opportunity to rest. Coincidentally, the weather forecast says it will rain in the next two days. Ye Zhizhi feels tired from going out and riding in the car every day, and Ye Zhiyan is even more tired.
The brother and sister both wanted to have a relaxing weekend and didn't want to go out to play even on rainy days.
For this reason, the family driver was also given a holiday.
She sniffed and found her brother's scent was faint. Could he still be sleeping in the room?
Yu Jingyao knew as soon as she saw her daughter was looking for her brother. Although she was jealous that her daughter was so clingy and her brother was not, she also talked about his movements, "Not long ago, your brother received a call and went out for something urgent. You rarely slept in, so I didn't call you."
Snap!
The bun in Ye Zhizhi's hand fell onto the table, bounced twice and landed on the ground. It was quickly grabbed by the Husky that was wandering under the table. It ate it in three or two bites, and its tail wagged even more vigorously.
"...will he be back soon?"
Seeing Ye Zhizhi's shock, Yu Jingyao thought it was because Ye Zhiyan went out without her, so she hurriedly explained, "Brother didn't mean to leave you out. You go to get off work with me every day, and you must be tired from riding the car so frequently, so I wanted you to have a good rest..."
Ye Zhizhi stood up suddenly and ran out anxiously. After running a few steps, he turned around and rushed to Yu Jingyao, "Where? Looking for my brother!"
"Brother will be back soon, let's wait for him at home." Yu Jingyao said again.
Ye Zhizhi was extremely anxious and her heart was beating fast.
She'd been following me around for so long, why did she suddenly go out today? We'd agreed to have a rest this weekend and not go out!
Ye Zhizhi faintly heard the sound of a car driving away in the morning, but she didn't pay attention to it. She didn't expect her brother to go back on his word!
