Hoarding money to raise cubs Day 282

After checking in at the resort, Lu Liran planned to see what kind of organization the so-called "adventure group" was.

The registration office for the adventure group is located at the base camp one kilometer away from the Aiken Rainforest, which is also the camp of some bounty hunters.

Lu Liran found the registration office. It was a huge metal tent that looked like it was poured from steel bars, and there was a piece of entry notice on the outside.

The general meaning is to pay the money to guarantee to bring in, but not to guarantee to take out, life and death depend on the sky, and the consequences are at your own risk.

Entering the metal tent, the area inside is larger than it looks from the outside, and there are only a dozen people inside, so you can see it all at a glance.

The team for signing up for an adventure group is divided into left and right sides. Those who sign up on the left are equivalent to tour groups. They have a guide, a safety route map, and supply stations and camping spots along the way. Basically, as long as you follow the guide, there will be no danger, even if there are If you are in danger, you will also receive timely support and rescue, including helicopter rescue, etc. These items are included in the registration fee.

Of course, the entire registration fee is quite high, 100,000 people per person, and the itinerary has three days and two nights.

Lu Liran glanced at the route map given by the tour group, and the deepest point did not even reach the Sana River.

As for the registration on the other side, it is purely entrance fee, and the small notice board erected outside the tent is for this column.

It is only responsible for the release. After being brought into a certain depth by the staff leading the way, it will leave directly. After that, everything will be on its own. Even if you pass by the supply station or camping point halfway, you will not be able to enter.

This kind of fee is relatively low, only 10,000 yuan per person, no matter how deep you go, life and death are at your own risk, without support or assistance.

There are very few people who consult here, and even bounty hunters are unwilling to pay such a high cost.

Lu Liran looked around and found that there was nothing that aroused his interest. When he was about to leave, the consultation office on the left was noisy.

A young man was huddled over there, asking questions constantly, as if he had been here several times, and the person at the consultation desk was impatient:

"Ask after you say you don't know, and you still don't know after asking eight hundred times! Then the guide is not from our side, you are asking in the wrong direction!"

"Let me see you next time, and I'll call someone to throw you out!"

"There is no evidence, you just ask us for someone, do you think we are some kind of shelter?"

Hearing this, Lu Liran stopped in his tracks, and looked at Ke Ji who had come with him, the two exchanged a look, and they agreed to stay where they were.

Ke Ji pretended to ask about registration matters, while Lu Liran paid attention to the noisy news on the other end.

The three or two staff members at the consultation office were talking in a hurry. As soon as the young man said a word, they were repeated several times, even with warning threats.

The young man's complexion changed when he heard this, a little ugly.

He seemed to be certain of something, and kept shaking his head: "No, my brother said, the escaped guide will... find more sacrifices for that demon, and then you will appear!"

"So many people... You put so many people into the Aiken Rainforest every year, and how many of them were brought out safely by you?" His voice was soft, whispering, but it was clear enough to enter everyone's mind in the ears.

The staff at the consultation office seemed to be frightened, trembling, frowning, and just about to say something, but was interrupted by the young man.

"How many of those fools who went in for 10,000 tickets are still alive?" He asked, and suddenly, his eyes turned to the other side where there was no one else—Lu Liran was standing there—he twitched his lips, "Aren't they all sent in?" As a sacrifice?"

There was a strange look in the young man's eyes, Lu Liran raised his eyebrows, not angry, but stood aside with some interest, listening carefully, as if he was included in the ranks of "fools" by the young man not him.

The front desk staff at the consultation office jumped up and down, with an ugly face, cursing: "Your brother who is a murderer is a psychopath, and he was admitted by the official stamp! Do you believe his words?!"

"My elder brother has a problem, and my younger brother won't go anywhere normally. The nerves of the whole family."

Lu Liran narrowed his eyes. Hearing this, he almost guessed the identity of the young man.

Aiken rainforest, guides, sacrifices of demons, murderers, psychosis, official recognition... so many factors combined, there is only one answer-Wang Yuanming's younger brother.

Lu Liran didn't make a sound, until the young man left the tent again with nothing, then he moved his body, intending to follow.

"Sir, are you interested? Would you like to sign up?" The staff at the consultation office hurriedly called Lu Liran to stop, "You must not be disturbed by that gentleman, we did not have the situation of entering and leaving as he said. Otherwise, it would have been blocked by the government long ago, right?"

Lu Liran stopped when he heard the sound, and after his eyes met Ke Ji for a moment, Ke Ji understood, followed the leaving figure of the young man, and left the tent first.

Lu Liran turned to look at the staff, showing a look of embarrassment and hesitation: "Then why did he say that? It can't be groundless. I want to go into the rainforest to see the natural scenery, but I don't want to die."

The staff didn't have any doubts, and quickly explained: "It has something to do with an accident that happened a few years ago, but it has nothing to do with us!"

"What accident?" Lu Liran tilted his head, "I'm here to travel, so I don't know much about it..."

"Oh, it's like this. A few years ago, there was a group of tourists who went to the rainforest because of the reputation. They hired a guide, but the guide left them halfway. Only one of the group of tourists came out alive, and the rest were taken by the tourist. Someone was killed. That person suffered from a mental illness, and when he was ill, he had delusions, which led to the tragedy.”

The staff explained: "So you see, this matter has nothing to do with us. Even the guide who left them halfway is an aboriginal place in the Aiken Rainforest, and we don't know each other."

"Natives of the Aiken Rainforest?" Lu Liran asked, "Saiyan tribe?"

"Haha, the Saiyan tribe is very famous, but it's not them." The staff did not doubt Lu Liran's question at all. Eight out of ten people who came to their side were directed at the Saiyan tribe and the mystery it guarded. Mangya Spring.

"There are also many small tribes with less than a hundred people in the Aiken Rainforest. They prefer to exchange and trade with us than Saiyan."

As if to get rid of their relationship with the accident guide, the staff thought for a while and added: "The guide, I remember, is from one of the tribes called Kugwa. But that tribe has not appeared for two years. Maybe it was banned in some indigenous tribal conflict."

"There will still be tribal conflicts now?" Lu Liran looked at the staff.

"Of course." The staff member nodded solemnly, and casually said, "That's why we recommend the tour group project, otherwise if you accidentally enter the territory of the indigenous people, you may be involved in tribal conflicts. But it will be troublesome."

"Although the tour group project is a bit expensive, at least it is safe, and our guide will customize it according to the needs of tourists..." The staff tried their best to lure them.

Lu Liran had almost done what he wanted to say. Hearing this, he nodded slightly and interrupted the other party: "Thank you, then I will think about it again. Thank you for your hard work."

After he finished speaking, he turned and strode out of the tent.

For Lu Liran, there are two ways to enter the Aiken Rainforest, one is through the government, and the other is through private adventure groups.

From the very beginning, Lu Liran planned to cooperate with DFA. After all, they have already attracted the attention of the other party, and they are on other people's territory. He believes that once they make a slight move, they will be captured by DFA immediately. It is impossible to be magical. Unknowingly entered the rainforest.

Rather than being passive, it is better to occupy the position of cooperation from the beginning.

As for coming to the adventure group, it was purely a windfall.

Since it is somewhat related to the Aiken Rainforest, and it is a new thing that appeared after the tragedy that year, Lu Liran will not let go of any possible clues.

As it turned out, he was indeed right.

After walking out of the tent, Lu Liran looked around, but did not find Ke Ji, nor did he see the figure of the young man, but the communicator flickered twice.

He opened it and saw that it was a message from Ke Ji——

"Wait for me where you are."

Lu Liran stopped.

Soon, Ke Ji folded back.

"Did you find anything?" Lu Liran asked curiously.

Ke Ji nodded slightly. Not long after he followed the young man out of the tent, the young man got into a scooter and left.

But before leaving, he saw the young man pulling out a necklace hanging around his neck. The necklace pendant was a log that had been rubbed extremely smooth, and the wood was carved with patterns resembling horns and snakes.

"The reason why he believed that this adventure group organization was related to that incident was because of this wood carving, which came from that guide." Ke Ji said.

He walked to the corner of the metal tent behind Lu Liran, and lightly pointed at the carved pattern on it: "When I saw the pattern on that wood carving, I felt familiar, as expected."

Upon hearing this, Lu Liran took a closer look, and saw a pair of goat horns wrapped around a slender and curved rattlesnake.

He looked up at Ke Ji suddenly: "Is this the pattern on that wood carving?"

Ke Ji responded: "So he thinks this organization must be related to that guide."

"Or it has something to do with the tribe the guide belongs to." Lu Liran briefly explained the information that the staff mentioned to him later.

Lu Liran pursed his lips slightly: "Go back and consolidate the information in hand, I always feel that there is only a layer of veil between some things and the truth."

Ke Ji had no objection, the two stopped a scooter and went straight to the previous foothold.

When they returned to the hotel, the door of the hotel had been cleared, and two rows of well-trained soldiers stood on both sides of the hotel.

"Mr. Lu and Mr. Ke are back, welcome. DFA would like to formally express its thanks to the two gentlemen, and hope to have a chance to sit down and have a chat." It is still the office director of the foreign aid department, Xu Enzhen, who came here hotel.

It was just like when they first met, except that at that time Xu Enzhen had no idea that it was these two young men in front of him who had successfully rescued the commander and avoided the triggering of a diplomatic war.

Xu Enzhen smiled at the two, although the smile became a little stiff and awkward when Lu Liran glanced at the soldiers standing on both sides.

They would not have been compelled to send soldiers if the two had not disappeared suddenly and silently for a full fortnight.

After finally intercepting the fluctuations of the two people's actions again, the head of DFA immediately ordered her to lead the team here until they were invited to the headquarters.

Lu Liran knew it and didn't break it.

"Okay." He nodded lightly.

DFA was in a hurry, just in time, he didn't want to dawdle.

Walking into the DFA headquarters familiarly, along the way, Lu Liran and Ke Ji have received countless attention gifts, no one does not know them, and the last picture of that live broadcast has become the most amazing picture in everyone's mind.

In the unbelievable landslide, everything is still, the only thing that does not stand still are two small human beings. It seems absurd and legendary, but it is true.

In fact, if Ke Ji was a few seconds later that time, Lu Liran planned to exchange for a safety cabin with the system to take refuge. It's safe and sound.

The price of the safe cabin is naturally very expensive and its practicality is extremely low. After 100 million popularity points are exchanged, it can only be used once, and it will be automatically disintegrated and scrapped when it detects that the host is out of the dangerous environment.

Before the live broadcast of the rescue mission was settled, the popularity value in Lu Liran's hand was very stretched compared to the safety cabin, and he didn't plan to use it lightly unless it was critical.

And sure enough, Ke Ji arrived, just like every time before, Ke Ji always arrived before the last second.

Lu Liran couldn't help turning his head slightly to look at Ke Ji who was walking beside him under those staring salutes.

"What's wrong?" Ke Ji looked over, "Not used to their scrutiny?"

Ke Ji held Lu Liran's palm and turned slightly sideways in front of Lu Liran, blocking some of his sight.

Lu Liran didn't expect Ke Ji to react to this, he coughed lightly, without denying it, but tightened his fingers slightly, holding Ke Ji's palm.

DFA's thanks and hospitality are the same as all official forms.

After Lu Liran dealt with it a few times hypocritically, he got straight to the point.

Their purpose is the same, they are all spring water in Mangya Spring, DFA offered to provide them with the convenience of going deep into the rainforest, and the exchange condition was a small bottle of Mangya Spring water the size of a thumb.

DFA seems to have decided that even if Lu Liran and the others could find Mangya Spring, they would not be able to take much spring water with them, so what they asked for was only a few milliliters.

Lu Liran narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you sure this is the condition?"

"Sure."

"That's good." Lu Liran nodded, "We will set off at five o'clock tomorrow morning. The pilot will carry out the flight mission according to my requirements. Is there any problem?"

"Okay, I will let the pilot follow your orders unconditionally."

…

Early the next morning, the helicopter carried Lu Liran and Ke Ji to the Aiken Tropical Rainforest.

The doors on both sides of the helicopter were lowered, and Lu Liran looked more intuitively at the umbrella-like dense forest below.

The unprecedented flash flood two weeks ago seems to have been digested by nature, leaving few traces, but only those who have experienced that disaster know that those traces are deeply rooted with fear.

Lu Liran let out a breath.

They are back again.
