Chapter 078: Divergence

Five days later.

Praran Province, Borneo.

Looking at the light rain in the sky, Baizhu's brows furrowed.

"How's it going, Sam?"

Looking at Sam Rogers, who ran into the canopy from outside, Baizhu asked, "Did you find the boat?"

"No, after hearing that we were going upstream, all the boats refused. ”

Sam's face was full of loss: "They say it's the rainy season now, and it's too dangerous to go upstream. ”

"Can't we give more money?"

Jordan Michelle asked.

"No, I can't. ”

Sam shook his head, "I raised the price, but still no one wants to take the risk. ”

"Fack!"

Jordan Michelle scolded hatefully.

Baizhu also sighed secretly.

He had obviously advanced the plot in the movie by more than two months, but he forgot that the rainy season lasted for more than three months, and even if it was advanced to now, it still belonged to the rainy season.

"I'll ask someone else. ”

Baizhu shook his head and said to Jordan Michelle: "You guys are waiting for me here." ”

"Hey, Dr. White, didn't you hear that?"

Jack Byron said dissatisfiedly, "Sam said she had already asked someone else, don't you believe her?"

"Of course I believe Sam, but ......"

Baizhu shrugged: "I think she should just ask the boatman who can speak English, and I, I can ask more people." ”

"What do you mean?"

Jack Byron was stunned.

"I know, you know Bahasa Indonesia!"

Jordan Michelle blurted out.

"Hmm. ”

Baizhu smiled slightly, put on his raincoat and walked out.

Although Baizhu didn't mean to mock him, and Jordan Michelle and Sam didn't make fun of him, Jack Byron still felt that Baizhu was deliberately targeting himself, just to embarrass himself.

"Damn!"

Looking at the gradually blurred figure of Baizhu after entering the rain curtain, Jack Byron's jealousy of Baizhu became bigger and bigger.

......

About half an hour later, Atractylodes came back from the rain again.

"How's it going, Alex?"

Seeing Baizhu coming back, Jordan Michelle hurriedly asked.

"Not bad, I found a captain named Bill Johnson who was willing to take us upstream. ”

Baizhu took off his rain hat and said, "It's just that he asked for 50,000 US dollars." ”

"Fifty thousand dollars?"

Jordan Michelle frowned and said, "This price is too expensive!"

Jack Byron looked at Baizhu suspiciously: "Fifty thousand dollars...... You don't have anything else on your mind, do you?"

"Huh?"

Baizhu's face sank: "What, do you think I deliberately quoted a high price to eat a rebate?" OK, then you can ask for yourself and see if it is possible to find someone else!"

Jordan Michelle also noticed that Jack Byron seemed to be deliberately targeting Baizhu, and hurriedly said: "No, I don't think Jack meant that, he just thinks the price is a little too high." ”

Sam Rogers also said to Jack Byron, "Jack, you can't say that about Dr. White. ”

The entourage sent by the investor, although Gal Steen watched all this coldly, it was obvious that he didn't like Jack Byron very much.

Seeing that everyone was standing on Baizhu's side, Jack Byron was even more ashamed and angry, his face was cloudy, but in the end he still felt that he couldn't be angry, and he reluctantly apologized to Baizhu at the moment: "I'm sorry, Dr. White, it's me who doesn't choose what to say." ”

"It's okay, after all, you weren't there when I talked to Bill Johnson. It's normal for you to be suspicious of me. ”

Baizhu said on his face that it didn't matter, but he was wary of Jack Byron in his heart.

In the movie, Jack Byron is a person who will do whatever it takes to get the blood orchid, and he even does not hesitate to kill Jordan Michelle in order to obtain the blood orchid, so you can imagine how ruthless he is.

"I hope you can take it when you see it, otherwise, I don't mind letting this be your burial place. ”

Glancing at Jack Byron, who lowered his head and stopped talking, a cold glint flashed in Baizhu's eyes.

......

"This is the ship we're on?"

An hour later, looking at a ship docked on the shore that seemed to have been converted into a dilapidated ship, Jordan and his party all lamented.

Even Baizhu, even if he knew from the movie that the ship was very dilapidated, he was stunned after seeing the real ship.

"Don't worry, although the 'Bloody Mary' doesn't look good, it's still very strong. ”

Bill Johnson saw everyone's suspicions and laughed.

His assistant Nguyen also said with a smile: "The most important thing is that our sailing skills are very good, and we are among the best in the whole of Borneo. ”

Bai Zhu and the others glanced at each other, although they were still a little worried, but after all, they were the only boats that dared to go upstream in the rainy season, and they could only come up helplessly.

Due to the change of the plot, Baizhu and the others did not have any accidents along the way.

Two days later, the Bloody Mary stopped near the Satan Basin.

But just as Baizhu and the others were about to pick the blood orchids, they heard a muffled thunder explosion, and a large dark cloud suddenly appeared in the sky, and raindrops the size of soybeans began to fall down.

"Oh no, look at the sky, I'm afraid it's going to rain all day. ”

Looking at the gloomy sky, Bill Johnson asked Baizhu, "How is it, do you still have to collect those flowers in this weather?"

Because of the strict requirements of Atractylodes, the Atractylodes group did not openly discuss the role of the blood orchid in front of Bill Johnson, so Bill Johnson only knew that the Atractylodes group was going to pick a flower here, but he didn't know what the blood orchid was for.

Although Bill Johnson is the leading actor in the movie, Baizhu doesn't want to make his crossing fail because of this negligence.

"My opinion is to wait, it's better to wait until the rain is over and the sky clears. ”

Baizhu said: "The current weather conditions are not suitable for us to go out and pick blood orchids...... What do you think?"

Although everyone did not encounter the attack of the python along the way, Baizhu never dared to take it lightly.

He has superb martial arts skills, and he holds a magic weapon flying sword, so he is naturally not afraid of giant pythons, but if he wants to take care of so many people, he feels that it is a little difficult.

Hearing that Baizhu didn't think he should go out, Jack Byron immediately said, "My opinion is contrary to yours, I think we should immediately hurry up and pick the blood orchid!"

"Why?"

Atractylodes frowned.

"Please, Dr. White, be brave!"

Jack Byron said in an exaggerated tone: "What are we, we are scientific research workers, and when we encounter danger, we hide back, that is not the work style that a real scientific research worker should have!"

"Besides,"

After a bit of snort, Jack Byron said proudly: "Although there is still more than a month before the flowering deadline of the blood orchid, who can guarantee that these flowers will still be intact by then...... So, we have to hurry up and pick the blood orchid!"

Hearing Jack Byron's analysis, Jordan Michelle nodded.

"Alex, what Jack said is not without reason. ”

Jordan Michelle said: "I also feel like we need to pick blood orchids as soon as possible. ”

Bai Shu was secretly stunned when he heard this, if he was the only one, let alone this moderate level of rain, he would not be afraid of the knife.

The reason why he refused to set off now was completely because he was worried that his group would be attacked by a python and he would not be able to take care of it, but the result was good, because the road was safe, and now everyone has lost their awe of the rainforest.

"Well, since everyone thinks they should go, I can only agree. ”

Baizhu shook his head helplessly, praying in his heart that he hoped that because of the two months in advance, he would not meet those giant pythons.
