Every day is one step closer to reality

In the next few days, when there are no training courses, Feng Yi will make an appointment at the crocodile's training ground. He had never had direct contact with crocodiles before and had only seen them in zoos or some exhibits.

Moreover, different species of crocodiles have different habits. Feng Yi needed to know a lot of things, but he lacked knowledge in this area.

However, as Chen Wei said, python hunting activities are held from January to February, which is still the dry season in Florida. Crocodiles and snakes are not very active, and some venomous snakes will even go to other places to hibernate in the winter. . Generally speaking, during the python hunting period, the overall environment is a relatively safe period for humans, which allows actual combatants to have some weaknesses. If it is the rainy season, the danger level is much higher.

On this day, there are no classes scheduled in the group. The training ground in the morning has been booked up, and Feng Yi has made an appointment for the crocodile zone No. 5 in the afternoon.

Feng Yi went to the cafeteria early in the morning to have breakfast and bought something for two people to take back. He planned to eat something when he was hungry while reading the course notes.

There are many people like him, but while others bring breakfast for their roommates and other members of the team, Feng Yi eats it himself. He doesn't tell others and doesn't know the inside story. Anyway, this behavior is not eye-catching in a crowd of people.

Entering the dormitory, I happened to see the door of the next room open.

"Brother Zhai." Feng Yi thought about it and handed over the breakfast bag he was carrying, "Want something to eat?"

Zhai Yiyou rubbed the dark circles under his eyes. Hearing Feng Yi's words, a smile appeared on his tired face, "Thanks, I'm hungry."

Seeing that there was a lot in the bag Feng Yi was carrying, Zhai Yiyou just thought that Feng Yi hadn't eaten in the canteen, so he didn't take any more. He took two buns and put them on the ground first. He would go to the canteen to have breakfast later. While chewing on the bun, Zhai Yiyou turned around and took out a bottle of juice from the room and handed it to Feng Yi, "The mixed fruit and vegetable juice made by my classmate's farm is simple in packaging, but it tastes good."

Feng Yi did not refuse, took the juice, placed the breakfast bag on the dining table in the dormitory's common area, and started Breakfast 2.0.

Not to mention, the juice tastes really good.

"Brother Zhai, does your classmate's juice sell online? It tastes very good. I want to buy some." Feng Yi said.

"We have this plan, but it's still in the preparation period. I'll let you know when it goes on sale."

We have been in the same dormitory for so long. We are usually busy and don't have much time to see each other, but even if we are not familiar with each other, we will not be too unfamiliar.

"Are Teacher Huang and Chen Wei in the dormitory?" Zhai Yiyou asked. He got up late today and didn't know if the other two people in the room were there.

"We went out. They had already finished eating when I went to the cafeteria. Teacher Huang went to the laboratory and Brother Chen went to the training ground." Feng Yi said.

When Zhai Yiyou heard that they were the only ones in the dormitory now, he asked Feng Yi, "Are you busy later?"

"Well, I don't have any plans for the morning. I plan to read the course notes. Brother Zhai, do you need any help?"

"There is something that won't take you too much time." Zhai Yiyou said, "My junior brothers and sisters have set up an electronic journal and asked me to write. I stayed up late last night and wrote an article, and I revised it when I woke up in the morning. But, if you think it’s okay, you can help me take a look. In terms of content, you should also understand what was taught in the recent training courses.”

Zhai Yiyou stayed up late last night to finish writing the manuscript. He found that the number of words was still a little short of what he said when he was asked to write the manuscript, so he added some more content. The article is not profound and is not intended for professionals, so it is relatively easy to understand and the writing is quite interesting.

Feng Yi took the tablet handed over by Zhai Yiyou, with an open document on it.

Title of the article - "The Battle of the Great Swamp".

At the beginning, I gave a brief introduction to Florida, including topography, climate conditions, species divisions, etc.

He also talked about the changes before and after the abnormal climate period in Florida.

In human society, periods of climate anomalies have resulted in some losers and some winners.

In the animal kingdom too, some are weak and new strong ones are born, while the losers in the struggle are squeezed out and devoured.

However, the emergence of new powerful animals in the Florida Everglades has certain human factors, and will cause other animals to disappear and threaten humans.

The storm destroyed some research centers and zoos in Virginia and caused some species to invade the Everglades. In addition, people who keep reptiles secretly release them into the Everglades.

Exotic species are beginning to show off in the Everglades. The bosses of the Anaconda genus launched an invasion war into the swamp.

The period of abnormal climate is an important turning point.

Zhai Yiyou said this in his article:

"The giants of the genus Python, represented by Burmese pythons, reticulated pythons, and African rock pythons, had a world-shaking and beautiful love affair in this resource-rich Everglades, and gave birth to strong super hybrid offspring. …”

The Python bosses who launched the invasion war became severely involuted after their expansion. Although they were greatly weakened during the period of abnormal climate, the birth of super hybrid offspring allowed this magical invading group to rise again and plunder the Everglades with a strong posture.

In this battle, the heavyweight warriors of the genus Anaconda of the subfamily Anaconda did not actually participate in the battle, and they just made up the difference. After all, there is reproductive isolation between the green anaconda (anaconda) and the genus Boa.

Super hybrid pythons invade the Everglades. Can eat, can fight, but has a bad temper.

The python's rule is: the areas it rules will turn from prosperity to silence.

The swamps have been eaten up by them, and there are almost no deer left for the crocodiles to eat. In Steve’s words, “The crocodiles in the wild in the swamp are so thin that it’s heartbreaking!”

No matter how many animals are introduced, they will all be eaten by pythons. How can the Everglades develop healthily?

Let’s reduce the number of pythons first!

Therefore, in the article, Zhai Yiyou pointed out the nature of this python hunting activity - a battle of defense!

Zhai Yiyi said: "I have to let others know why I am doing this this time. This is a defensive activity. If you don't explain this kind of thing clearly, you will be sprayed to death!"

After Feng Yi finished reading, Zhai Yiyou asked him again: "What do you think?"

"It's very well written." Feng Yi said.

"So, do you have any questions after reading it? Or, what part of this article do you want to know most?"

"What do you want to know most?" Feng Yi glanced at a paragraph in the article that talked about the weather, and said, "Is the sunshine in Florida very good during the python hunting event?"

Zhai Yiyou's expression went blank for a moment, and then he gave Feng Yi a strange look.

Zhai Yiyou's heart——

【You don’t want to know why the cute raccoon stopped visiting us! 】

[You don’t want to know why the child who sneaked into the swamp to swim without listening to the advice disappeared! 】

[The love and hatred between python bosses, you still don’t want to know how brutal the battle between Florida’s two dominant crocodiles and pythons is! 】

[You actually only care about whether the sunshine in Florida is good or not! 】

[You didn’t even mention the key points I wanted to express in even a single sentence, but when it came to talking about the number of words, you caught them all accurately! ! 】

It was the first time for Zhai Yiyou to meet someone with such a strange angle.

After a moment of silence, Zhai Yiyou still told Feng Yi about the weather during the python hunting activity. These were all data provided by the local meteorological bureau, but they were not mentioned in the training courses.

After Zhai Yiyou went out, Feng Yi went back to his room to study the weather information given by Zhai Yiyou. He thinks these are very helpful in catching pythons, but they are just his thoughts and others cannot understand them.

In the afternoon, Feng Yi went to the training ground.

When Feng Yi entered the area, he smelled a familiar smell, it was someone he knew. This made Feng Yi pause for a moment.

"Brother Yi!"

Feng Yi followed the sound and looked over.

A young man was walking out of the No. 2 training ground. He called Feng Yi and trotted over.

Feng Yi recognized this person.

Cheng Si, an outdoor anchor, worked with him on the Nan Chong scientific expedition team for a while.

Cheng Si has always been active on the Internet, and Feng Yi has seen push news about him several times online.

However, what impressed Feng Yi the most about Cheng Si was the time when the Nanchong scientific expedition team was bitten by a Zhoushan cobra and was taken away by a rescue helicopter.

You can't poke his pain points in front of him, he's not an enemy. Feng Yi did not mention the Nan Chong Cobra incident.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Yeah, long time no see. I just arrived this morning and I was wondering if I would have to wait until class to see you." Cheng Si said with a smile.

"Are you part of the python hunting group this time too?" Feng Yi asked.

"No, we belong to the media group. I can't join the actual team for an event of this nature."

I have to say that after not seeing each other for a few months, Cheng Si has become much more stable compared to when he was taking the Nan Chong Science Examination. I don't know if it was because of his own change, or because he didn't show that arrogance in front of Feng Yi.

Moreover, the title has also changed.

During the scientific examination in Nan Chong, Cheng Si saw Feng Yi directly calling Feng Yi by his name, but just now he called "Brother Yi".

Cheng Si looked at the number on the training ground behind Feng Yi and said, "Are you here to train too? In field 5, you are indeed an expert! I just hang out in field 1 and 2."

Although the crocodile in Site 2 has a strange habit of rolling around, its size alone is still very intimidating. At least Cheng Si can use it to take photos and show off to people who don't know the truth online.

Cheng Si looked at the display screen outside Court 5, "There are still about ten minutes until the next game in Court 5. Let's sit next to it and chat for a while?"

"Okay." Feng Yi guessed that Cheng Si must have something to ask him about.

Sure enough, within a few words after sitting down, Cheng Si made his intention clear.

This python hunting event is allowed to be broadcast live, and the video platform giants will certainly not miss this opportunity.

The benefits that can be harvested are quite attractive, and the platform Cheng Si signed on also gave him a chance to join the media team here.

Cheng Si was ambitious, so he kept an eye on Feng Yi.

"Live broadcast with the team?" Feng Yi frowned.

"Do you have any concerns? I heard from other teachers in the team that this time the python hunting team is divided into groups. Brother Yi, who are you grouping with? The team members are not willing to live broadcast?"

"I'm with Steve."

Cheng Si's eyes lit up when he heard this. He came here to find Steve, but he didn't see anyone and thought Steve was not in the team this time!

"That's great, we're all acquaintances!" Cheng Si had collaborated with Steve on live broadcasts, and he didn't think Steve would refuse.

Feng Yi knew that Cheng Si would not give up easily, so he said, "Then you can send Steve a message and see what he decides."

Cheng Si thought about it and was right. If Feng Yi and Steve were in a group, Steve would definitely be the dominant one, and Feng Yi couldn't decide anything.

In front of Cheng Si, Feng Yi also sent a message to Steve, "He's over there in Florida. It's already midnight now. He's probably asleep. I'll wait until he replies..."

Before he finished speaking, Steve came over with a voice.

Feng Yi answered, "Are you going to catch crocodiles again at night?"

Steve's voice didn't sound as exciting as last time, "Yeah, but this time it's not about catching crocodiles. The research center found a signal anomaly. I followed them out. When we got there, the crocodiles had already entered the python's belly. Catch them I got a mixed-breed giant python, and I’m on my way back now. I’ll send you photos when I get back. What did you just send a message about? Someone asked you to talk about live streaming?”

"Yes, you know him too, Cheng Si." Feng Yi said.

When Steve heard this, he thought about who Cheng Si was. Now his mind was filled with thoughts of pythons and crocodiles.

After thinking about it for a moment, I finally remembered, "Oh, that kid...impossible! Let him not even think about it!!"

After a while, he added: "Turn on the speaker of your phone and I'll talk to him."

Feng Yi put the phone in front of Cheng Si and motioned for Cheng Si to speak directly to Steve.

"Hey Steve, I'm right next to you." Cheng Si said.

"Oh, um, Xiao Cheng, you should know the nature of this activity. An activity of this nature only focuses on the results. The process will be more direct and the pace will be faster. You can't keep up!"

"Hey, you are looking down on me! Steve, I have learned a lot of skills now and have more experience than before. I will definitely be able to keep up!" Being familiar with Steve, Cheng Si spoke more casually.

But Steve is not in a good mood right now.

"This time Feng Yi and I are aiming for a big python that is over four meters tall. We want to go deep into the swamp. Are you sure you can follow it? Your combat power is only... 0.1 python?"

Cheng Si said excitedly, "It's impossible! It's 0.3 no matter what!"

"Sorry, we won't consider anything below 0.5 python. One is because we can't keep up with the progress, and the other is for safety reasons."

Steve wasn't as talkative as usual on matters like this.

In addition, the Nan Chong scientific expedition team directly reduced Cheng Si's combat effectiveness in Steve's heart.

If you can't even handle a Zhoushan cobra, why would you want to go deep into the swamp where pythons are infested? Isn’t this a hindrance?

It’s strange to agree!

In fact, when Cheng Si heard Steve talking about going to the depths of the swamp to catch a giant python, he already had the intention of retreating.

Nan Chong had already been slapped once in the face during the scientific examination. This time he couldn't get slapped on the other cheek as well. He still knows how capable he is, and he has a long memory after suffering a big loss.

Moreover, he also knew what the situation was like in Florida. People who entered without overestimating their abilities would most likely come out sideways, or they wouldn't even be able to find anyone.

You can still call for help if bitten by a venomous snake, but deep in the swamp, those beasts won't even give you a chance to call for help.

Between profit and life, Cheng Si chose his own life after struggling.

"Then... okay, I will continue to practice my skills and try to follow you next time. However, as far as I know, for veterans like you Steve and rookies like Brother Yi, the Federal Insurance Bureau will not let you act quietly. Yes, you definitely have to send someone to follow the filming, it may not be a live broadcast, it may be a recording.”

Cheng Si gave them a heads up and left wisely.

When Cheng Si walked away, Feng Yi switched the speaker mode to the receiver.

Steve continued on the other end of the phone: "It will definitely not be Cheng Si who is sent to follow the filming. That kid's abilities are limited. When the higher-ups ask you about the filming, no matter how they arrange it, whether it is live broadcast or recording, you agree first. When the python hunting starts, I have a way to deal with it.”

Feng Yi didn't know what Steve's solution was, but since it was said so, he just did it.

Steve took the blame anyway.

I'm a newbie and don't know anything.

Happy Mooncake Festival everyone!

Belated Mid-Autumn Festival blessings~
