Forest Ranger, starting from Picking Up a Lynx Girl-Chapter 216 - : Hidden in the Night (Extra Update)
Chapter 216: Chapter 216: Hidden in the Night (Extra Update)
Background noise erupted in chaos, and Little Sen’s phone screen started to vibrate intensely.
Chen Ying’s eyes hurt from the shaking.
“My dear grandma, my dear grandma, what’s wrong with you now?”
Little Sen was on the verge of tears. Mendun’er was just too unreasonable, facing setbacks and only knew to come back and vent on him.
A few more times, and he’d be completely stiff!
After venting, Mendun’er leaned against the wooden frame and sat down, its whole bear body shivering from anger, with a grimace that looked terrifying.
Chen Ying waited until things seemed to calm down a bit, then he asked what had happened.
However, before Little Sen could answer, Leopard Sister’s arrogant laughter came from nearby.
“Hahaha, you’re so big and you even got pushed around up in the trees, hahaha!”
Chen Ying was stunned, a jolt ran through his mind.
Did Leopard Sister mean what he thought she meant?
Could it be that on Jiamu Gully Mountain, a second generation Hu Zi had appeared?
This was no small matter, they needed to find out which bold male bear had dared to climb up the tree and force Mendun’er.
After Little Sen and Lin Li had calmed down Mendun’er, they picked up the phone to continue chatting with Chen Ying.
But Chen Ying had no time for aimless chatter, he immediately assigned a huge task.
“Your main focus now should be this, to determine the identity of that male cat and see if you can track and record which female pandas it has mated with. Afterwards, you’ll work with the teachers at the protection center. I will try to finish work here as early as possible to get back.”
The mere thought of a possible third generation Hu Zi made Chen Ying extremely excited.
In their nature reserve, the big cat circle was under the watch of Leopard Sister and Brother Leopard.
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
Among the mid-sized cats, Jinya and Little Jin, the couple who could be called the jungle’s dual scourges, could sweep through the entire forest.
By next year, the street rat’s kids would probably also be born.
In terms of both quantity and quality, the fierce beasts of this forest were progressing steadily and impressively, which was just fantastic!
The gradual recovery of the natural ecological circle was the greatest affirmation of their wildlife conservation work.
Hanging up the phone, Chen Ying couldn’t help but jump up on the spot.
Bao Bao, who had just finished licking his bowl, was startled and knocked over his metal bowl.
The leaders who were observing from behind the windows of the office building also jumped, and then they started to laugh.
“Dr. Chen really is still a young man, look at you. From your previous description, I thought he was an old cadre.”
“Director, is there any chance we could transfer Dr. Chen over here?”
“Forget it. He is currently in charge of a small shelter, and I’ve heard that he has quite a reputation locally. If it hadn’t been for the restructuring on the rescue center’s side, they would have trained him to take over the center.”
There were things the director couldn’t say outright; he didn’t know much and much of the specifics were just his own speculation.
But from what he’d heard about Chen Ying, aside from having a slightly low emotional quotient, his commitment to his career and technical abilities were outstanding among the younger generation.
Unfortunately, their small temple was destined not to accommodate such a future great Buddha.
It didn’t matter if they couldn’t accommodate him, maintaining a good relationship was key, after all, the circle was round, and who knew how things might develop in the future?
After staying for two more days, on the third morning, Chen Ying took Xiao Mu’s car down the mountain.
Dao Meihua was already waiting for him at the highway exit. If nothing went wrong, he should arrive at the core area of Naban River Basin Nature Reserve before six o’clock in the evening.
He didn’t get a chance to have the Carriage Captain treat them this time, so he had his family buy a lot of local specialties to deliver to the mountain.
When Chen Ying came, he had only a bag and a first aid kit, but when leaving the Liang Mountain Nature Reserve, he carried a forty-kilogram box.
Miss Dao appeared slightly shocked for a moment when helping load the car, she pursed her lips and did not laugh.
For most of the trip, Dao Meihua and Chen Ying’s chit-chat lasted less than an hour.
It was mainly because Miss Dao was too busy; the rescue team’s matters, volunteer arrangements, and the family projects she was responsible for meant that she received a phone call on average every five minutes.
By the afternoon, Chen Ying simply stopped trying to speak and pulled his hat down over his face to catch some sleep.
The core zone of the nature reserve wasn’t far from the urban area.
Dao Meihua took Chen Ying and checked directly into the hotel closest to the nature reserve.
“You rest well here for a day, and I’ll go handle some other things. Tomorrow afternoon we’ll go to the shelter, and the day after that we might need to take a walk in the rainforest.”
Dao Meihua patted the huge cardboard box.
“Do you want me to have someone mail these things back for you?”
“Mail part of it, and leave the rest here for everyone to share.”
Chen Ying scratched his scalp, “No need to trouble yourself finding someone to help, I’ll sort it out first. It seems like the front desk offers courier services, once it’s ready I’ll just call them to take care of the shipping.”
“Alright, then you get busy, I won’t bother you anymore.”
Dao Meihua actually wanted to have a good chat with Chen Ying, but unfortunately, she needed to finish her work ahead of time to be able to follow them into the rainforest for the activities.
Money wasn’t so easy to earn.
After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Chen Ying was ready to go out for some food.
He wasn’t short on money but wasn’t used to ordering meals at the hotel.
The little poor folks are used to saving.
Just as he reached the main entrance, he received a call from Feng Xin, saying that they were in the city running errands and were planning to have dinner before returning, asking if Chen Ying wanted to join.
As he had wanted to ask about the situation in the local nature reserve, Chen Ying called for a Didi and headed straight for the dining spot.
Among a group of skinny, dark young men, the fair and slightly chubby Feng Xin was especially conspicuous.
Chen Ying went over and pinched his arm.
“How come you’re still so pale after all these days?”
Even he had darkened by two shades, while this guy looked almost unchanged from before.
“Don’t remind me.” Feng Xin poured a cup of tea and set it in front of Chen Ying, sighing, “I actually want to tan, but I just can’t seem to darken. Even when my skin peels from the sunburn, it just turns red for a bit, and after applying some ointment and covering it up for a while, it goes back to being pale again.”
Who could understand the pain in the heart of a white-skinned man?
The atmosphere, which had been somewhat awkward and uneasy, became harmonious with Feng Xin’s jokes and antics.
“Brother Ying, did you encounter any fun experiences while you were at Liang Mountain?”
Feng Xin, envious of Chen Ying’s unbeatable affinity, was very curious to know what kind of incredible animals his Brother Ying had come across.
Lin Li had been chatting with him on WeChat in the afternoon and purposefully acted coy, refusing to tell him the details.
Hmph, a seven-day feud it will be. They’ll talk about renewing their friendship once he returns from the rainforest.
Chen Ying didn’t boast, but picked out some interesting incidents to share, especially the Bee Monkey who foolishly got on with the business of monkey life, arousing everyone’s curiosity.
Thus, an unedited action sequence successfully garnered the friendship of several young people.
By the time dinner was over, it was almost 1 a.m., and they had to rush back to the center for their shift.
After parting ways with them, Chen Ying followed the navigation and jogged back to the hotel.
It wasn’t far after all, roughly four to five kilometers – a piece of cake for him.
The whole city was part of the larger protection area, and the river next to the hotel was an important part of the Naban River Basin.
Chen Ying’s night run was as much about digesting his food as it was about experiencing the unique atmosphere of the rainforest.
He had been running for a while, and with about one kilometer left to the hotel, the road split. He needed to follow the river for over five hundred meters before turning into the hotel’s private road.
The other path led to a nearby tropical park.
During the day, the park saw many visitors, with tourist buses coming and going. By night, it was quiet and serene, with even the lights dimmed down.
Standing at the fork for a while, Chen Ying slowly jogged towards the hotel along the greenway beside the river.
From here, he could see the hotel’s main building illuminated by lights on the hillside ahead.
However, after walking for about ten meters, Chen Ying felt that something was off. He turned his head to look carefully and thought there seemed to be something on the streetlight at the fork in the road.
Clutching his phone, Chen Ying cautiously approached, wanting to make use of the streetlight to see just what it was.
