Chapter 120: Giant Sequoia - "We Are All Living Hard"
Bai Shao yawned. "Ma'am, if you hate me so much, why bother drawing lucky bags and even connecting with me on the mic? If you're saying this, please send me a private message like a hater, so I can block you all."
Mina was so angry that her breathing became rapid, and the rain slid down her cheeks, but she couldn't hide the anger on her face. Just when the viewers in the live broadcast room thought Mina would be so angry that she would curse.
Mina closed her eyes.
Open it again.
Mina muttered softly, "I've spent a lot of money, but I haven't found Philola in two days. The detective said that the last place Philola disappeared was in this giant sequoia forest. Ask the animals nearby if they have seen Philola."
The rain is too loud.
Bai Shao didn't hear clearly: "What?"
Mina shouted, "If you can find Fiorola, I'll help you put in a good word with my brother!"
When she thought about asking Bai Shao for help, she felt uncomfortable all over, as if there was something stuck in her throat.
Some netizens couldn't help but roll their eyes.
【Yo yo yo, look how good you are. 】
[Is this your attitude when asking for help?]
Bai Shao nodded: "To be honest, I don't want to help you, but who can blame me for being a kind person?"
Mina's face turned as black as coal. She wanted to retort loudly, but then she thought of Fiorola and forced herself to hold it back.
Bai Shao admired Mina's changing expression and asked, "Describe what Fiorola looks like."
Mina came alive instantly and said anxiously.
"Firola is a male lion. My dad and I found him on the grassland. He was bitten in the abdomen by another lion and one of his canine teeth was broken. If my dad and I hadn't taken him home, he would have died."
"I grew up with Fiorola. She is a very important member of my family and I cannot live without her."
"I fixed a steel tooth for Fiorola. It has a golden mane on its head and a leather collar with its English name on it, so it's easy to recognize."
"If the maid hadn't locked the manor door properly, it wouldn't have run out. It's all my fault, woo woo woo."
I heard crying.
Bai Shao had the same headache as the viewers in the live broadcast room.
[This child can really cry. Is he made of water?]
[Oh my god, am I the only one concerned that lions can be kept in foreign countries?!]
[You can raise it in some areas, but you need to go through the necessary procedures.]
[You can handle any procedure, are you that capable? ]
You may not know Mina, but you definitely know her father, Xie Heming, the father of the Chinatown in the United States. Isn't this a difficult procedure to handle?
Bai Shao didn't read the comments. She heard a faint voice amid the sound of rain and crying.
[The giant sequoia is about to attract lightning!]
soon.
The owner of the voice appears in the camera.
Just see.
A blue dragonfly with a round head was flying with difficulty in the heavy rain. For some reason, Bai Shao could still see the appearance of the blue dragonfly from a long distance.
The transparent wings are covered with fine lines, reflecting emerald green, and the slender tail is dark blue, like nature's palette.
When flying, the blue dragonfly's wings vibrate, making a slight buzzing sound.
[Run! You fool!]
Passing by Mina, the blue dragonfly taunted.
Bai Shao said seriously, "Don't worry about Fiorola for now. Blue Dragonfly said that the giant sequoia wants to attract lightning to strike it."
Mina: “???”
The viewers in the live broadcast room suddenly realized.
[Giant sequoia, that makes sense.]
[As we all know, giant sequoias are also known as natural evil cultivators and natural lightning-struck trees.]
【How do I put it? Can anyone explain it to me? 】
[Giant Sequoia: I would rather die than let my friend die.]
Facing Mina's doubts.
Bai Shao explained, "Giant sequoia seeds need to be heated by a large fire before they explode."
Mina blinked, stunned. "Really? I don't know much about giant sequoias, so what?"
Bai Shao continued to explain, "So, giant sequoias grow desperately to attract lightning, which can cause wildfires."
Mina: “!!!”
The viewers in the live broadcast room nodded one after another.
[In this way, the giant sequoia can not only continue its lineage but also burn out other competitors.]
[Left is zero, right is fire, thunder god helps me! ]
【Is this what it means to burn yourself to illuminate others?】
["I want to reproduce, but I can't do anything about it!" "What do you mean your seeds were burned too?" "You're afraid of being struck by lightning or burned by fire, what does it have to do with me~"]
【Good boy, born! 】
【As expected of the sixth best in nature. 】
[Other trees: We are all living our lives to the fullest.]
[Giant Sequoia: I've tried so hard, why aren't you dead yet? [Turn around and try again]]
Seeing these comments, Mina ran away and quickly surpassed the blue dragonfly.
The blue dragonfly chased after him: [Hey?]
Facing the heavy rain, Mina stumbled and fell to the ground. She got up and continued running. After running out of the giant sequoia forest, she bent down, held her knees and gasped for breath.
Mina was puzzled: "Can they really attract lightning? Wouldn't that mean they would lose eight hundred lives and injure the enemy a thousand?"
Bai Shao said in a calm tone, "Giant sequoias secrete a fire retardant called tannic acid, which will prevent them from dying."
After the fire, everything around it will turn into ash, which will become nutrients for the giant sequoia seeds.
Mina's eyes widened.
If trees in nature have evolved to this point, what role do humans have?
Although Mina ran out of the danger zone, she still didn't believe that the giant sequoias would attract lightning. At least the giant sequoias in this area wouldn't, otherwise, the M government would have taken control of it long ago.
Mina panted heavily. "This giant sequoia forest is inhabited by residents for several miles. If the giant sequoias are in danger, the government can't just sit there and do something... I'll call the fire department first."
The tone of voice suddenly changed.
Mina suddenly thought of Bai Shao's weirdness. It was because Xiao Xunmi didn't believe in Bai Shao that she was slapped by the killer whale and became paralyzed inexplicably. She couldn't follow in Xiao Xunmi's footsteps.
Firefighters, be prepared!
[I remember that firefighting in Country M requires one to pay for it themselves.]
[It doesn't matter, Mina is rich! ]
Mina took out her spare phone and made a call, which earned her a burst of laughter from the firefighters.
"Oh, my dear lady, you are so funny. This giant sequoia forest is different from other giant sequoias."
After translating the English sentence, Mina turned to the live broadcast room and said, "They said they were given growth-inhibiting drugs."
A step behind Mina, the blue dragonfly flew by: [Can't stop the fool from wrapping the wire around the tree...]
The sound faded away.
Bai Shao only heard the first half of the sentence.
Just finished translating this sentence.
A sudden roar erupted, and thunder ripped through the night sky, lashing out like a golden whip, striking the giant sequoia tree hard. Accompanied by sharp crackling sounds, several more bolts of lightning followed.
The huge thunder shook the earth.
Mina watched in horror as the fire in the distance grew from small to large. Under the heavy rain, the flames raged, illuminating the sky red. The small animals in the forest fled in panic. She turned around and continued running, and only slowed down her pace after she ran out of the forest.
The barrage exploded.
[It's indeed different. Other giant sequoia trees attract a single lightning bolt, but the tree here attracts a group of lightning bolts.]
[Can such heavy rain not put out the wildfire? ]
[Don't laugh at natural disasters or man-made disasters. If they are man-made, that's another matter.]
White Peony repeated Blue Dragonfly's words: "Someone has wrapped a coil of steel wire around the giant sequoia."
Mina looked incredulous: "Why?"
Bai Shao looked at the panicked Mina and asked knowingly, "Who told you that Fiorola was here?"
Mina twisted her ankle without noticing the rocks beneath her feet. She limped toward the city center. "Like I said before, the private detective I hired said the surveillance footage showed that Flora was last seen here. Strange..."
