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

Chapter 436

Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan both looked excited and nodded quickly.

Although Jakar thoughtfully arranged their accommodations, for them, only by being close to nature could they receive more information.

Therefore, the fact that the three of them put their luggage in the arranged dormitory was just a superficial cover-up.

As the three people rushed into the research institute, the researcher who had originally seen the exchange group off also looked at them with curiosity for a few more seconds.

Although Gakar repeatedly warned them to be careful, they remained very curious about the three children in front of them, who were not much different in age.

I really don't know what magic these three little guys have that has made even that guy Jakar start paying attention to their field.

However, since the people were assigned to their research institute, they must bear the corresponding responsibilities.

Seeing the three men carrying suitcases out without any attempt to conceal their presence, Fatima, the head of the research institute, stepped forward and stopped them from leaving.

“Lin, Gakar repeatedly told us to take good care of you, you are…”

Looking at Fatima's worried eyes, Lin Xiao couldn't help but gently curl the corners of his lips.

"Director, I have already communicated with Jakar, and we will be staying on the grassland for a few days."

After speaking, she glanced thoughtfully at the staff member beside her before continuing:
"We went into the grassland this time to let my two students observe the living habits of the animals on the grassland. If people from your institute are curious, they can come with us."

As she spoke, she winked playfully.

However, after Lin Xiao said this, the staff around him looked at each other, and none of them dared to take the initiative to bring up the matter themselves.

Lin Xiao's gaze shifted, a faint smile always in her eyes, as if she didn't care about the matter at all.

She looked at Fatima and shrugged, the meaning in her eyes was very clear.

It wasn't that she didn't want to bring anyone along, but rather that nobody wanted to get involved.

Fatima looked at the two clearly divided groups of people, hesitated to speak, and her expression was very unpleasant.

But no matter what, they were still honored guests they had invited.

If something were to go wrong in their territory, then it would be truly difficult to explain.

Therefore, all the researchers looked very reluctant, but Fatima still said a name very seriously.

"Sophia, you're going with them this time!"

Sofia frowned instinctively.

She was about to retort when Fatima spoke loudly, drowning out her voice.

“Sophia, I know you have specialized training in firearms handling. On the grasslands, I entrust the safety of these three friends entirely to you!”

Sofia wanted to refuse, but before she could speak, Fatima glared at her fiercely.

The rebuttal that was on the tip of her tongue could only be swallowed back down.

Sofia nodded reluctantly.

Although they have always been very welcoming to this exchange group.

However, their research institute was originally located on the edge of the grassland, and they already knew the situation on the grassland very well.

Why waste time on the grasslands?!
But seeing the three obedient-looking guys standing next to her, Sofia could only sigh silently, feeling helpless.

never mind!

After all, they were guests specially invited by their country. Just think of it as me taking my students on a walk through the heart of the grasslands.

Sofia could only console herself with this thought.

However, seeing the three people next to her carrying suitcases with eager expressions on their faces, Sofia remained silent for a while before hastily saying, "Sorry, you may have to wait a little while. I'll go back and pack my things right now."

After saying that, he left in a hurry.

Lin Xiao sensed the goodwill shown by the other party, and the smile on her face deepened.

It seems that the people they've met here so far are all quite lovely.

Fatima knew that Sofia was unwilling, so after everyone left, she went to the dormitory and found Sofia packing her things.

“I know you don’t want to waste time, but right now you’re the only one in our institute who can protect them on the grassland.”

"If you can really succeed, it will be a great achievement, and it may be very beneficial to your future project applications."

Sophia may have been unwilling, but she had made herself very clear at this moment, so when she heard the director's words, she only slightly curled her lips and revealed a faint smile.

"Okay, then I'll be waiting!"

When Sophia came out, she had taken off the white research coat she was wearing before and was only wearing a dark-colored windbreaker. She looked smart and capable.

She didn't have much stuff, just a black backpack on her back, and led them directly to the research institute's garage.

After the three people got into the car, Sofia sat in the driver's seat, glancing at the distance every now and then, as if waiting for something.

Seeing her so eager, Lin Xiao's eyes also showed a bit of curiosity.

I've brought everything. Are you tired and waiting for something?

Lin Xiao didn't speak first, so the two people sitting behind her were even less likely to say anything.

Sun Zhongwen and Zheng Yunnan hugged their luggage, their eyes sparkling, their whole bodies radiating an indescribable excitement.

And it's just a little longer; as long as they get to the grasslands, we'll say whatever we want.

Just then, the sound of elevator doors opening rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a series of light footsteps came from the side.

The four people in the car instinctively looked over, and sure enough, a moment later, Fatima appeared in their sight.

The other person, with a smile on their face, hurried forward a few steps, carrying a long, narrow box in their hand.

Sofia's eyes lit up when she saw what the other person brought.

She smiled as she stood up, took a few steps forward, and took the things into her own hands, her eyes filled with a touch of nostalgia.

Fatima didn't say anything more, but instead shoved the things into her arms and immediately urged, "Alright, it's getting late. Be careful! Stay safe!"

Sofia tossed her things into the trunk, quickly got into the driver's seat, started the car, and drove away.

Lin Xiao, who was sitting next to him, kept glancing at the person in the driver's seat.

Judging from the shape of that box, if she wasn't mistaken, it probably contained a gun!

Sophia had long noticed Lin Xiao glancing at her from time to time.

But she didn't say anything, as if she was just waiting for the other person to thank her so she could ask.

Meanwhile, the two little ones behind them had already been captivated by the grassland scenery in front of them.

The vast grassland stretched out before them, with herds of various animals grazing leisurely nearby, looking incredibly free. Even as their off-road vehicles passed by, they could see the animals parked nearby glancing up at them several times.

The two of them were beaming with excitement, and they hardly ever put down their phones.

Hearing the exclamations coming from behind her, Sofia's face lit up with a smile from the two little ones behind her.

Looking at the vast grassland and feeling the freedom of the wind, Sofia's initial unhappiness lessened considerably.

She turned her head and glanced at the person who was still nervous, and the smile on her lips deepened.

"Lin, relax a little. After all, what's most important to the grasslands is their inclusiveness and freedom, isn't it?"

She had a bright smile.

Even her jet-black skin couldn't diminish the brightness in her eyes.

"Besides, you've been watching me all this way. If you have any questions, just ask. I'm giving you that chance."

Lin Xiao finally turned around and looked very seriously at the person driving next to her.

"Was that a gun you just took from the car?"

Seeing Lin Xiao's serious expression, Sophia's smile deepened slightly.

"Yes, isn't bringing a gun into the grasslands the most basic guarantee for our own safety?"

"Besides, no one can guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen during our journey, can they?"

"But..." Lin Xiao subconsciously resisted this dangerous thing, and for the three of them, a person carrying a gun was simply too dangerous.

Sofia's smile was somewhat helpless, but when she spoke the rest of the sentence, her expression suddenly became serious.

"Lin, you need to understand that in our country, these things are just for self-defense. Don't forget, you live in a country where guns are free!"

"Moreover, we are likely to encounter wild animals on the grasslands, and even groups of poachers. Without these things, do you think we could have made it back safely?"

Lin Xiao knew, of course, that what the other person said was true, but...

She wanted to try her best. Even if she couldn't get Sofia to put the gun down, they could at least try to get the right to use it. Surely that wouldn't be a problem?
Sophia was taken aback for a moment when she heard Lin Xiao's words.

But seeing Lin Xiao's anxious expression, the refusal that was on the tip of his tongue turned into a silent sigh.

"No, that's not allowed, but you must follow my instructions when the time comes."

They had been looking at the scenery all the way; the little guy couldn't help but freeze in place when he heard this.

What the hell?
Are you suggesting they learn how to fire a gun here now?
Sun Zhongwen suddenly became excited, waving his hands and his eyes were full of eagerness.

During his university military training, he looked forward to the opportunity to practice shooting every day, but no one expected that the teachers in the college would be lazy and not carry out this project at all.

But it wasn't until he became a graduate student that he learned that some schools actually did have live-fire target practice.

He regretted it terribly.
He thought he'd never have a chance in his life, but unexpectedly...

At this age, how could I have encountered such an opportunity?
Although Zheng Yunnan was not as excited as Sun Zhongwen, she was still visibly happy.

"Alright! Then I'll have to leave my two students in your care."

Sofia smiled and nodded, "Okay!"

Since the conversation was brought up, the atmosphere in the carriage has improved considerably.

Until Sofia stopped the car.

She placed her hands on the steering wheel, looked at the people in front of her, and said softly, "It's almost time. Are you planning to camp tonight or just rest in the car?"

Lin Xiao didn't answer, but instead turned around and looked at the two people behind her, "What do you think?"

Sun Zhongwen was momentarily stunned.

Camping on the grasslands...?

He and Zheng Yunnan exchanged a glance, and both could clearly see the fear in each other's eyes.

After all, although they had never observed the animals on the African savanna up close, they were still somewhat aware of the dangers there.

Leaving aside lions and cheetahs, even a random herd of zebras or a pack of African wild dogs could give them a run for their money.

So the two of them shook their heads in perfect unison.

"No, no need for that. We can just make do in the car."

Seeing the two of them looking so timid, Lin Xiao chuckled and clicked his tongue.

Looking at the two of them now, who could imagine that just a day ago, these two little ones were still arrogantly confronting her?

However, since they were her own children, Lin Xiao softened her heart and decided to give them one night to make final psychological preparations.

As for what comes next, we'll have to really delve into the animal community.

She smiled, her expression very gentle. "It seems these two little ones haven't adjusted yet. Let them take their time. We'll talk about it tomorrow."

Sofia sighed regretfully, but still nodded cooperatively.

For convenience, all four of them carried some quick-heating items.

So everyone barely spoke and just grabbed something to eat.

While eating, Sun Zhongwen couldn't help but walk directly to Zheng Yunnan's side, his face full of curiosity.

"Do you think our teacher Lin will really take us to get up close to the animals tomorrow?"

To be honest, just thinking about that scene makes him excited.

Seeing his senior brother so focused on getting close to animals, Zheng Yunnan was speechless.

Now is not the time when he tried every possible way to avoid following others, is it?

But despite the complaints, he's still my senior brother.

She still tried her best to comfort the other person, but when she leaned back in her chair to rest, a hint of anticipation crept into her eyes.

Meanwhile, Sophia listened to Lin Xiao's plan with a blank expression.

"No, you're just going to let them follow the animals like this? Aren't you afraid that if something happens in the animal group, they might accidentally hurt them?"

"I'll communicate with them!" Lin Xiao said confidently, even patting the other person's shoulder lightly. "Don't worry, I'll just find them a bodyguard from the species."

Listening to Lin Xiao's whimsical words, Sophia gave her several indescribable glances.

Communicating with animals?
Looking for an animal bodyguard?
What is all this mess?

Seeing her so determined and convinced, Sofia sighed silently.

It seems she has to rely on herself for this!
