◎Ye Zhizhi turned his head and met a pair of gentle and indulgent animal eyes.◎
Ye Zhizhi took out a small dagger and cut it open. Golden liquid flowed out slightly, like honey, emitting an enchanting fragrance.
She collected some of the overflowing liquid in a small tube, then quickly cut it open and shared it with the wolves.
Two rhizomes as big as basketballs quickly entered the mouths of the people and animals present. Ye Zhizhi also ate a small piece himself and felt it carefully.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt a slight warmth in her stomach, which was very comfortable.
Ye Zhizhi observed the wolf pack carefully. The wolf father, wolf mother and wolf aunt got the largest share. She gave a large part of her own share to them. Now, it seemed that they didn't have any obvious reaction. Maybe it had an effect on their internal organs?
In District 7, Aunt Wolf seemed to only know this place, and she never expressed her willingness to lead the way again since then.
Ye Zhizhi looked from a high place and thought that this should be the central area. She had never been to this area before. The lush vegetation on all sides concealed any danger.
They probably won't find anything anymore. They've been out for quite a while without realizing it. It's time to prepare to return to their tribe's territory.
Ye Zhizhi was a little worried about them, so he thought of sending them for a while and then going back alone.
Just as Ye Zhizhi expressed her meaning, Wolf Mom suddenly rubbed her.
Ye Zhizhi turned his head and met a pair of gentle and indulgent animal eyes.
The silver wolf licked Ye Zhizhi.
Silver flicked his tail.
The other wolves were also looking at her.
Ye Zhizhi's nose suddenly felt sore and tears welled up in his eyes.
Although they cannot speak human language, they actually understand her emotions. They know that she wants to spend more time with them and does not want to be separated from them. Wolves do not understand sorrow, but they understand her sorrow.
Therefore, they are not planning to return to their nest for the time being, and are all planning to stay with Ye Zhizhi for a while longer.
As for the territory, even if they leave, it won't have much impact. Yin Fei and other wolves in the tribe are all very capable in combat, and the young wolves are growing up and have the ability to protect themselves. It doesn't matter if they are not there, unless a group of foreign predators comes looking for them.
However, their territory is easy to defend and difficult to attack. With the current capabilities of the wolf pack, they can defend their territory no matter what.
In comparison, this wolf, who has obviously grown up but seems to have not grown up yet, makes the wolf a little reluctant to let go. While he can still walk, he should spend more time with this clingy wolf cub.
After Ye Zhizhi understood what they meant, he was deeply moved.
But after being moved, Ye Zhizhi still firmly refused.
She couldn't let them wander outside for her own selfish reasons. Even though they had become stronger later, the horror of the rainy and snowy seasons was still engraved in their hearts. Even for a wolf pack as strong as this, it was not easy to survive safely.
Ye Zhizhi would rather spend nearly an extra month every year to reach the territory himself than let them abandon the safe and comfortable life in the territory and spend the long rainy and snowy season outside.
What's more, even if the wolves followed her, she couldn't accompany them in the jungle. The wolves didn't know that she would leave the jungle and go to a place they had never seen or imagined. Since they had to part anyway, why should she suffer for half a year just to spend one more month together?
Ye Zhizhi resolutely escorted them back.
Although they are all in the central area, they do not pass through the central area, but walk along the periphery of the central area. This does take a little longer, but it is much safer.
They returned in the same direction they came from, but of course the route was slightly different.
Once we got out of the seventh zone, the speed became much faster.
The wolves entered and exited the central area more and more frequently, and naturally found relatively safe routes. These routes almost avoided the hunting areas of giant predators. Even in places where they could not avoid them, they were close to the hunting edge. If there was any disturbance, they could run away in time.
Linglong didn't plan to go home so soon, so she went back to the wolf den with the wolf pack and prepared to spend the rainy and snowy season with them.
The tacit understanding in fighting along the way made Linglong full of trust in these wolves. At the beginning, she needed to keep a distance as much as possible and had Ye Zhizhi lead her at all times. Later, after they became familiar with each other's aura, the silly Linglong could mix and play with those young wolves.
Seeing that Linglong wanted to follow them, Ye Zhizhi did not insist on sending it back. She even thought that this was a good thing. The friendship that started between her and Daxiong could be continued in the next generation or even the next generation.
For this reason, Ye Zhizhi, who originally planned to send the bear only to the most dangerous area and then return, still sent it back to the territory. After making sure that Linglong had adapted well and could stay in the wolf territory, she repeatedly asked Yin Yi and Yin Fei to take good care of the bear before she ran out quickly with the bag in one hand and the backpack on her back.
Yin Yi stood high in the forest and watched her quickly disappear into the jungle.
Ye Zhizhi wasted quite a bit of time, but luckily she was familiar with the route, and she was attacked most when she first entered the jungle. Both the strong and the weak wanted to bite her, but the longer she stayed in the jungle, the fewer attacks she received. At least those who were not as strong as her did not dare to provoke her.
At first, Ye Zhizhi didn't understand why she was so different from before. But after doing this many times, Ye Zhizhi figured it out.
The reason was the smell on her body.
After staying in human society for a while, her body will be covered with various human odors, and this smell is not only unwelcome in the jungle, but also a target for predators.
The human scent on humans is very attractive to predators.
No wonder Xiaohua couldn't forget him and always wanted to swallow Qin Fei.
This was actually very abnormal for Xiaohua. Usually, once the prey was marked with her tag, Xiaohua would no longer covet it. It was very generous to her and would even share food. However, it would be very greedy for Qin Fei from time to time.
Ye Zhizhi didn’t think too much about it at the time, but now thinking back, wasn’t it the human scent on humans that attracted Xiaohua?
No wonder the death rate of humans entering the jungle has been so high over the years. Judging from the frequency of her attacks when she first entered the jungle, someone would have to be at least half as skilled as her to leave safely, and there probably isn't anyone like her in this world.
Come to think of it, Qin Fei's mercenary team was able to escape alive every year, which was quite impressive! Clearly, they knew how to mask their human scent.
Ye Zhizhi rushed day and night and finally ran out of the jungle before the rainy season came.
Qin Fei had been waiting at the edge of the jungle. Ye Zhizhi turned around and found that he was the only one waiting.
Qin Fei noticed Ye Zhizhi's little action and explained, "I asked them to go back first."
Ye Zhizhi nodded, then smelled a faint smell of blood on Qin Fei. He was injured, but not seriously.
Qin Fei rowed the wooden boat with two oars, and the muscles in his arms rose and fell, looking very powerful.
However, Ye Zhizhi felt that it was a bit useless, so he walked up to him and picked up the wood pulp.
Seeing her interest, Qin Fei gave her some instruction. Ye Zhizhi quickly got the hang of it, and then joined Qin Fei in rowing the boat. The boat was still going much faster against the wind.
The wind on the river was so strong that it was almost impossible to open one's eyes. Ye Zhizhi wrapped his head tightly and felt that his face was about to be blown stiff.
Neither of them had the desire to speak, and they crossed the river quietly.
After they changed cars and drove back to the base, Qin Fei spoke first: "We dug up some very special plants and sent them to the Second Hospital."
Ye Zhizhi was curious, what special plant?
Qin Fei explained in detail that when they reached a deeper part of the jungle, they accidentally saw a predator with wounds on its head and body eating a plant.
As we all know, carnivores usually only eat plants because they have certain benefits.
They saw that the predator had injuries on its body and thought it was recovering from them.
Qin Fei waited until the predators left, dug up a few plants, and then quickly left. They didn't recognize the plant and didn't know if they could survive.
Ye Zhizhi seemed to be lost in thought. She looked down at the things she had brought back and realized that she had been too cautious.
She thought about it and suddenly realized that the range of human activities was only a part of the outer edge. They had not even seen the area slightly inner. Even if they had seen it occasionally, they would not be able to get out alive, let alone the central area.
If she hadn't told us, who would have known that these things were from the central area? The teachers and the others all knew that she had lived in the jungle.
Ye Zhizhi suddenly came to her senses. Yes, the teachers and the others had always known this, but they had never asked her for anything. Even Qin Fei, who accompanied her back to the jungle and took her away every year, never asked her about what happened in the jungle.
Ye Zhizhi turned to look at Qin Fei, "Next year, let's find the bad guys' lair together."
Qin Fei was surprised. Although he didn't know why Ye Zhizhi suddenly said such a thing, he still agreed without hesitation, his expression much more relaxed. "It's my honor to have your help."
Ye Zhizhi looked at his expression and saw that he was sincere. She held her head high and was extremely confident. This was natural, no one could escape her eyes.
When the car returned to the base, Ye Zhizhi ran to the research institute with bags in both hands.
She went to find her trusted teacher, and after keeping a portion of everything she had brought with her, she gave him the rest. Then she saw the plants Qin Fei had brought back, which were said to have healing properties.
She took a look at it and sniffed the scent. Although it was different from the medicinal plants she knew, it also had anti-inflammatory and healing effects, but the effect was probably not as good as the ones they used.
The rainy season arrived in the evening of the second day after returning to the base.
All communication signals on the ground of the base were cut off. Before that, Ye Zhizhi had already taken the things she brought out of the jungle to the depths of the research institute and started doing research in a laboratory assigned to her.
The institute's ground buildings are not real institutes. Their research base is deep underground, even extending in the opposite direction of the jungle to minimize the impact of the jungle's magnetic field.
Therefore, they will not stop their research even in the rainy and snowy seasons. In fact, for the next six months, until the magnetic field returns to normal next year, the researchers will not come out of the underground research base.
