After understanding the language of animals, I quit the entertainment circle and started working for

Chapter 281 Are there no animals at low altitudes?
Lin Xiao turned around and looked at Lu Chengshen.

She blinked, her bright eyes filled with confusion.

Did you notify them?
Lu Chengshen shook his head silently.

The two of them then looked up again, both turning to look at the person in front of them.

Seeing the two of them standing at the door without moving, Gu Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, crossed his arms, and watched them.

This made the two people at the door feel uneasy.

They pretended not to see Gu Ming's expression. Lin Xiao carried the equipment and walked forward a distance as if nothing had happened, while Lu Chengshen turned around and locked the door.

Only then did he walk up to Gu Ming in a serious manner, clear his throat, and take the initiative to explain.

"Originally, I only planned for the two of us to make one trip, which would save a lot of time, but..."

"How did you come?"

Gu Ming, still wearing that expressionless face, lifted his eyelids to look at the man in front of him, his tone utterly impolite.

"Guessed it."

In particular, when he came down from the mountain yesterday and ran into Feng Cheng at the foot of the mountain, and heard Lu Chengshen say that there was news about Xu Yan, he roughly guessed it.

If they do obtain Xu Yan's confession, they will inevitably begin investigating the newly discovered animal protection site.

As for the matters at hand, we can only resolve them using the simplest and most convenient methods.

For them, the simplest and most convenient method right now is to cheat through Lin Xiao.

Therefore, they absolutely had to go up this mountain.

Gu Ming originally planned to come and ambush them at this time every morning, but he didn't expect that... they would take action on the very first day.

Upon hearing Gu Ming's reply, Lu Chengshen responded in a low voice, having just nodded solemnly.

"You're so perceptive; it was my oversight this time."

Lin Xiao couldn't be bothered to listen to their verbal sparring.

She was already in a hurry to get to the mountains and finish what she was doing. For her, it was just one more person, which wouldn't have much of an impact.

Therefore, she walked quite a distance ahead, and when she turned around and saw the two people still standing there, her words were tinged with impatience.

Are you leaving or not? If not, I'm leaving first.

"go!"

The two people caught up with him, one after the other.

"I'm sorry!" Gu Ming said, taking the initiative to speak. "It's my duty, please forgive me."

Lin Xiao waved his hand, not taking it to heart at all.

Even this time, she chose to go up the mountain with Lu Chengshen because she didn't want too many people to waste time.

Everyone's physical condition is different, and when there are many people, it is necessary to accommodate the situation of others.

However, if it were Gu Ming who came, she wouldn't have much to say.

Without saying much, the three of them set off together on the road up the mountain.

By the time the rest of the village woke up, it was nearly 10 o'clock.

They glanced at the time and rushed over to find Lin Xiao and Lu Chengshen, only to find them gone.

The landlord looked at the neatly dressed person and was full of questions.

"They left this morning, didn't you know?"

This morning?

Zheng Guangsheng, who originally wanted to follow Lu Chengshen to familiarize himself with the surroundings: ...

Okay, okay, so he's not good enough for me, right?

He was abandoned on his very first day?
In contrast, Feng Cheng quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since she first saw it, that entire mountain has become a taboo subject for her; she avoids going up it if possible.

Feng Cheng hugged herself tightly, looking pitiful, before speaking softly.

"Since Sister Xiao and Director Lu haven't notified us, they probably don't need our help."

"Then let's just stay in the village and wait for their news."

Zheng Guangsheng nodded with a resentful look on his face, but still with great helplessness.

Now that things have come to this, what else can he say? Meanwhile, a group of people walked up the mountain, but after walking for a long time, they didn't see a single living animal.

Nearly three hours passed until lunchtime, and Lin Xiao leaned against the tree trunk, eating the food they had brought, her tightly furrowed brows still furrowed.

Even while eating, she kept looking around at her surroundings.

what happened?

This mountain is located near the Nujiang River, with a complex biological structure and a wide variety of animal species.

It can almost be called a natural ecological experimental field.

But ironically, in this very ecological experimental field, they walked up the mountain for nearly three hours without seeing a single animal.

Is this situation really reasonable?
Before she had even finished eating, she couldn't help but grab Lu Chengshen to confirm the situation again.

"Is it really reasonable that we've walked so far without encountering a single small animal?"

"Something feels off to me."

Even if there are few species, there should still be different animals distributed in different altitude areas.

But now, it seems as if low-altitude animals have simply disappeared along the way.

Something unusual must have happened that caused the animals in the low-altitude area to migrate en masse or die in large numbers.

The thought of death instantly brought to mind the body dumping incident that had occurred in the forest a couple of days prior.

In an instant, I felt the hairs on my entire body stand on end.

But then he quickly shook his head. No, it can't be...

A large number of deaths should have resulted in corpses, but they haven't found any large number of corpses along their journey.

So... it should just be a simple animal migration.

But where can animals migrate to?

She looked up at the grove of trees in front of her, which was somewhat gloomy because it blocked the sunlight, and could only sigh silently.

It looks like we'll have to climb a bit more for now.

Lu Chengshen's face was also very ugly at this moment.

When they contacted the previous staff member last night to confirm, the staff member repeatedly assured them that all the animals on Gongbei Mountain were perfectly normal during the last patrol.

Nothing unusual happened.

And yet, just a few days later, there are no animals left in the low-altitude areas?!

"Let's walk a little further and see."

Lin Xiao nodded somewhat helplessly.

As of now, that's all it can do.

However, they had planned to resolve the issue in a morning, so they hadn't brought much with them.

But unexpectedly, no matter how much it was dragged on... we still had to keep climbing.

If that's the case, she can only hope to resolve the problem before tonight; otherwise... she'll have to go down the mountain and make other plans.

However, to everyone's surprise, they spent another two hours climbing the mountain.

But still, there was no result.

Lin Xiao glanced down at the time, then looked at the forest where the temperature was starting to drop, and had no choice but to stop.

“We can’t go any further. If we continue, we won’t be able to get back before dark.”

Moreover, the nighttime environment is inherently complex, and they were completely unprepared to spend the night in the mountains.

They didn't take the tent or flashlight.

If something were to happen to him on the mountain, it would be a great loss.

Unfortunately, Lu Chengshen also felt somewhat regretful.

Just as they were about to turn around and go down, they suddenly heard a slight rustling sound of grass and trees.

At the same time, Gu Ming very keenly stopped in his tracks.

"Wait, there seems to be something over there..."

Thank you for the vote, my darling! Mwah!
