227 Back to the Jungle
◎It’s been less than a year since I left the jungle, but it feels like a lifetime ago.◎
This time when Ye Zhizhi took the plane, his eagerness to return to the jungle outweighed his physical discomfort, and he did not feel the same discomfort as before, wishing he could be tortured and die on the spot.
She adapted quickly and soon found herself leaning against the plane window, looking at the rolling white clouds outside.
The plane shuttled through the clouds, and every time it flew forward, it got closer to the jungle. She counted the time second by second, and felt that time passed so slowly.
Qin Fei was repeatedly told by Ye Lang to take good care of Ye Zhizhi. After he came back, he heard from his cousin that she had a very strong adverse reaction when flying. He was extremely alert and kept a close eye on Ye Zhizhi's reaction.
Noticing that her expression hadn't changed much, and she was quickly looking out intently, he said to Ye Zhizhi, "You haven't had a good rest these past few days. This is a good time to catch up and get some sleep and recuperate."
Ye Zhizhi thought about it and realized that she had not rested well in the past two or three days. It was not only because of reading the information, but also because she was too nervous and excited about going back to the jungle.
Her eyes are still red.
Watching time go by like this makes it go by even slower. I might as well take a nap during this time. Who knows, I might find myself in the jungle when I wake up!
Ye Zhizhi closed his eyes, trying to empty himself and get enough rest.
But she was still worried, so she woke up and fell asleep many times. Every time she woke up and checked the time, she found that only ten minutes had passed, fifteen minutes, thirty minutes...
Ye Zhizhi couldn't help but sigh, time passes so slowly!
Slowly, Ye Zhizhi fell into a deep sleep.
In the end, Ye Zhizhi was awakened by Qin Fei. When she opened her eyes, the first thing she saw was the enlarged face. She was still sleepy and didn't react for a while.
But it was only a moment, Ye Zhizhi thought of something, and suddenly jumped up, almost colliding with Qin Fei.
Fortunately, Qin Fei was a little further away.
"arrive?!"
Ye Zhizhi instantly became extremely energetic.
Qin Fei said: "Almost there, there is still half an hour left, let's prepare for landing first."
Half an hour! That was quick. Ye Zhizhi was visibly excited.
Sure enough, not long after, the feeling of the plane falling and the noise became obvious, and it was landing.
She ignored the discomfort even more.
She leaned against the window and looked out, vaguely seeing the scenery on the ground.
The jungle covers a vast area, and the chaotic magnetic field means that airplanes cannot fly over it, so the aircraft's route is to bypass the jungle's spatial scope. But looking from a high place and far ahead, you can vaguely see the green forest hidden in the clouds, which is boundless and looks like a fairyland on earth.
It was the first time for her to see the jungle so comprehensively. No wonder she had never been discovered no matter where she ran in the jungle. Current scientific and technological means could not detect the true appearance of the jungle, and it was even more difficult to see with the naked eye when viewed from high altitude outside the jungle.
The giant green umbrellas held up by towering plants, the endless undulating mountains, and the clouds that linger all year round block all prying eyes.
The closer the plane landed, the clearer it could see. However, as the scenery and terrain below became clearer, the jungle in the distance became less and less visible.
The mountains outside the jungle obscured them, and the base hidden on the ground among the green trees came into view. She also saw the troops on training and the soldiers on patrol.
The vibrations of the plane became stronger and stronger.
As they got closer to the huge airport, Ye Zhizhi's heart beat faster and faster.
Soon...
Ten minutes later, the plane finally landed, slid on the taxiway for a while, and slowly stopped.
Ye Zhizhi couldn't wait to unbuckle his seat belt and rushed to the hatch before the voice prompt sounded.
Qin Fei was not in a hurry. He took the two suitcases, carried one in each hand and walked behind Ye Zhizhi. He waited for a while, and when Ye Zhizhi looked more and more anxious, the cabin door opened.
Ye Zhizhi rushed out immediately.
As soon as Ye Zhizhi got off the plane, she felt that the air here had become different. She smelled the scent of the jungle.
She couldn't help but take a deep breath, squinting her eyes slightly to feel the familiar wind blowing on her face.
Although the area where the base is located is not within the jungle, the climate and air here are actually affected by the jungle. If there is any difference from the jungle, it is that there are more people, which makes the air a little mixed, but it still makes Ye Zhizhi feel at home.
Ye Zhizhi ran forward a few steps, then turned back and urged, "Hurry up."
She was not familiar with the base, so she still needed to listen to Qin Fei on what to do next.
Qin Fei silently quickened his pace. Not long after they walked, they saw Liang Rong, Qin Fei's mother, who had been waiting for them.
Liang Rong hadn't changed in nearly a year. When she saw the two of them, she said, "I figured you'd arrive by now. It seems your flight is on time."
Liang Rong looked at Ye Zhizhi and softened her voice, "Zhizhi, welcome home."
Ye Zhizhi grinned at Liang Rong and shouted loudly, "Aunt Liang!" Compared to when she first came out of the jungle and her speech was halting, she now spoke fluently.
Liang Rong sighed, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then said, "The car is outside. Let's go back and rest first."
Regardless of the mode of transportation, long-distance travel is tiring. Liang Rong asked the two to return to the base first.
Ye Zhizhi followed Liang Rong out and soon saw a car, and then they got in together.
Ye Zhizhi took a look and found that the driver was a familiar young man.
But she turned her head and focused on looking out the window, carefully observing the base. She was now ambitious. Although she hadn't started studying yet, she was already very confident that she would become the general manager of this base in the future.
Knowing both herself and her enemy, she wanted to get to know the entire base well.
After driving for about ten minutes, the car arrived at the gate of the second hospital of the base.
Liang Rong took them back to the dormitory. She had someone send them a lot of food. Thinking that they would not be able to eat or rest well on the plane, they decided to fill their stomachs and have a good sleep first. They could deal with anything else after they had rested.
Ye Zhizhi was still in the same room. She had just put down her things and had a quick breakfast. Not long after Aunt Liang left, she picked up the backpack she had prepared long ago. She was going to the jungle!
Qin Fei: "Don't you want to take a rest first?"
Ye Zhizhi shook her head again and again. She didn't rest. She was now full of energy and motivation.
She wants to go to the jungle right now!
As for getting familiar with the base, there is no rush. The base is here and she has plenty of time.
After reading the information provided by Qin Fei, Ye Zhizhi felt more at ease about the safety of the jungle.
This jungle is the largest green forest in the world, with the most complete species of creatures in the world. It has a unique landform, covering various terrains and climates, and affects the global ecology. If it is severely damaged one day, the end of the world will not be far away.
This is the result of monitoring by authorities from all over the world using scientific means. This jungle is no less than the main artery of the blue planet. Once it is broken, the consequences will be very serious.
Perhaps for this reason, all countries are focusing on protection on the surface. Even if they covet the things inside, they only send people into the jungle continuously and fill it with human lives. They dare not easily use powerful thermal weapons.
Of course, Ye Zhizhi does not pin his hopes on human conscience. Who knows which country will suddenly go crazy?
But there is no rush, these things can be done slowly, what she wants most now is to return to the jungle.
Qin Fei looked at the sky outside. It was still early in the morning and the sun had not yet risen.
Since Ye Zhizhi was so impatient, Qin Fei didn't say much. He asked Ye Zhizhi to change into customized jungle combat uniform, and he also changed into one and carried a big bag.
Qin Fei said hello to Liang Rong, then took Ye Zhizhi out of the base and drove all the way to the jungle checkpoint.
Ye Zhizhi sat in the passenger seat. The car passed a few hills and the edge of the jungle came into view.
Ye Zhizhi unconsciously clenched his fists, leaned forward, and stared blankly.
The weather is very good today. The light gray-blue in the sky is gradually replaced by a touch of pink, which spreads rapidly. The light becomes brighter and brighter, and the sky begins to turn white. After a while, the red sunrise peeks out from the winding curves of the mountains and forests.
After a while, the color of the morning sun changed, and the golden light covered the entire earth with a thin layer of golden gauze. As the light became more and more dazzling, the light on the ground became brighter, and the branches and leaves swaying slightly in the breeze flashed with tiny lights.
The sunrise awakens the sleeping forest. The lively singing of birds seems like they are going to a market, and other animals also come out of their nests.
Ye Zhizhi's heart was beating fast, and through the open car window he could smell the damp forest scent mixed with soil.
It’s been less than a year since I left the jungle, but it feels like a lifetime ago.
The car slowed down and stopped, and the soldier guarding the intersection checked the documents before letting it pass.
Qin Fei drove slowly and then stopped in the open space of the camp.
The only people who entered the jungle this time were Ye Zhizhi and Qin Fei. They entered through formal channels, which involved quite a few procedures.
They arrived at the base guarded by the troops. It was quiet at this time. Their country's annual qualification review was very strict, and not many teams entered the jungle.
The only people who entered the jungle today were Qin Fei and Ye Zhizhi, so only patrolling soldiers were seen in this area.
Ye Zhizhi followed Qin Fei, carrying a huge backpack, silently observing him as he went through the process. They entered a house, submitted some documents, had photos taken and stamped, and even the backpack they brought into the jungle was carefully inspected. It took a while before they were allowed to pass.
People entering the jungle can legally possess weapons, but some weapons with particularly high lethality are not allowed to be brought in to avoid causing serious harm to people and the jungle.
Qin Fei and Ye Zhizhi were carrying cold weapons, but no hot weapons.
Although Ye Zhizhi had some thoughts in her mind, she was not in a hurry at all. She could use local materials. If they didn't bring any, someone would always bring hot weapons. When the time came and the people died, she could just pick them up.
She is very familiar with this.
They quickly headed to the dock.
The distance between the human camp and the outskirts of the jungle is separated by a huge river.
Once on the wooden boat, they put their backpacks aside and started rowing.
Ye Zhizhi is very keen on learning new things. Under Qin Fei's guidance, she quickly mastered the rowing technique.
The wind on the river was very strong and not gentle at all, making a whistling sound. However, Ye Zhizhi didn't care at all. She kept looking in the direction of the jungle, paddling hard, trying to get closer to the jungle.
The wooden boat slowly approached the shore. When it was two or three meters away, Ye Zhizhi could no longer bear it. She threw the oar aside, picked up her backpack and ran quickly. She stepped on the edge of the boat and pushed hard. She jumped into the air and landed steadily on the shore.
She ran forward without stopping, without looking back.
Qin Fei: “?”
Before Qin Fei had time to get off the boat, the figure in front of him turned into a black dot. It was too quick to get rid of the donkey after it had done its work.
