When I landed at Chengdu Airport, a dirty Wrangler jeep was already waiting on the edge of the runway. A man who looked to be in his mid-30s was lying in a car, unconcerned about the loud noise and irritating wind of the airport. Seeing Zuo Lin coming down from the boarding ladder, he immediately drove up to meet him.

"Old Yan asked me to pick you up and get in the car. The man took the backpack from Zuo Lindi and was still in the back seat, "My name is Xu Weidong." ”

"Now go directly to Dujiangyan City?" Zuo Lin asked.

"Yes, it's going to be a few hours on the road, so I'll tell you about the situation first. Xu Weidong glanced at Zuo Lin, not too trusting, "I don't know why Yan Lao asked you to come, but I will try my best to cooperate." ”

Xu Weidong is not a native of Sichuan, but he began to participate in outdoor activities for the first time in his freshman year at the age of 20, and his main activities were in Sichuan and Yunnan provinces. It was under his guidance that Chen Jianzong set off for the vicinity of Dujiangyan City to purchase agricultural products.

Xu Weidong has a very deep understanding of Sichuan Province, and when he saw the photos, he carefully checked some of his notes, and judged several locations where Chen Jianzong took the photos, as well as the general route. During the two days that Chen Jianzong deviated from the predetermined route of purchasing agricultural products to follow, he followed him to a place that was too remote. In such a small village on the edge of the mountains, even the appearance of one or two strangers will attract the attention of many people, and it is unlikely that it will escape the eyes of those extremely vigilant criminals. After that, the express delivery sent in Dujiangyan City, there was no document in the express company, according to the person in charge of the business at the time, the express delivery list was oral, the person who sent the express delivery Mandarin is very standard, and the appearance is also very ordinary, I can't tell whether it is Chen Jianzong himself.

If saving Chen Jianzong is the priority, then Dujiangyan City and the place called Yingxiu where Chen Jianzong finally appeared is the key. If the priority is to track down those smugglers, then Dujiangyan City, and even Chengdu, which are relatively convenient for transportation, will need to put a lot of effort into it.

"Do you need to prepare weapons?" While Zuo Lin was thinking about how to start, Xu Weidong suddenly asked, "Those are outlaws, I know where to get weapons, although I may not be able to use them very easily." ”

"When I arrived in Dujiangyan City, just take me to find a sports equipment store and find a pharmacy. Zuo Lin responded.

Self-confidence comes from strength. Xu Weidong didn't know where Zuo Lin's confidence came from, but Zuo Lin's tone was unquestionable. As for Zuo Lin's ability, Xu Weidong, as an ordinary consultant hired by Shennong Group, naturally did not know. But he intuitively felt that Zuo Lin's self-confidence was not unreasonable.

Although Dujiangyan City is not a big city, but the supporting facilities are still very complete, Zuo Lin easily bought a composite bow for competition with carbon fiber and glass fiber reinforced plastic in the sports equipment store, and quite a lot of arrows equipped with high manganese steel arrow clusters and synthetic materials for stable tail fins. After removing the devices on the bow that provided the athlete with additional weights, balances, and rulers, Zuo Lin felt that the bow felt quite good. The large 80-litre backpack has buckles on both sides of the exterior to hold the bow and quiver in place. Usually the buckles on both sides are used to carry skis and trekking poles, and no one dares to be so blatantly equipped with a bow and arrow, which is not very easy to use.

And when Zuo Lin borrowed the equipment of the pharmacy in the Chinese medicine store and made a series of drugs including insect prevention, hemostasis, external application and internal medicine in less than an hour, Xu Weidong already admired Zuo Lin very much. Zuo Lin is very strange in Xu Weidong's eyes, but he is indeed a talented person.

Xu ...... Big brother, you have these medicines. I am not very familiar with Dujiangyan City, please investigate here. If you run into those people and follow them, don't do anything. I'm going to the show. If it goes well, I'll be back in about a day. Zuo Lin said.

Xu Weidong glanced at him in surprise and said, "You are alone?...... Those people, those people ......"

Zuo Lin smiled and said, "It's not necessarily possible to touch it." Even if it does, it's not certain who will be unlucky. Zuo Lin knew very well that ordinary people could not threaten him, even if the other party had someone who was also proficient in unconventional forces, with his characteristics of a plant-based druid, grinding would grind the other party to death. And people with that ability don't seem to be picked up everywhere.

Seeing that Zuo Lin had made up his mind, Xu Weidong was not too insistent. "This is my PDA, will you use it?" Seeing Zuo Lin nodding, Xu Weidong continued: "I have marked the location where the photo was taken. PDA has GPS function, you just follow the coordinates. The place is not big, the map is also in the PDA, it is really not good, you can use Google Earth ...... on the Internet at any time"

At this moment, Xu Weidong was as verbose as an old man.

On the grounds that he could not drive without a driver's license, he rejected Xu Weidong's intention to leave the jeep to him, and watched the dumbfounded Xu Weidong's taillights disappear at the end of the road.

After renting a room in a small hotel on the street, and after paying for the room for 3 days in advance, Zuo Lin hid in the room. Take off your clothes and put them in your backpack. He chanted a transfiguration spell and turned into a wolf again. This time, there was no pain in every muscle and nerve from his bones, but he simply felt the powerful power flowing in his body like boiling water, and from the inside to the outside, he was now like the master of this heaven and earth.

Wrapping the backpack around the body of a wolf is a little tricky, but not impossible. After all, in the body of this giant wolf, there is a powerful druid soul, and compared to ordinary wolves, the gap in knowledge and experience is greater than the gap in physical strength.

Jumping out of the window, Zuo Lin got into the darkest alley and ran in the direction of Yingxiu.

As a druid, it is obvious that the mountainous and watery geographical environment of Sichuan is more suitable for him, but now he is also accustomed to the convenience of living in a metropolis like Shanghai, knows the role of material and money, and knows the reinforcement of technological products for the ability of the druid, and begins to know how to deal with people and not say things that should not be said and lie when necessary, and gradually face up to the material enjoyment that he has gradually become accustomed to and regard it as a part of life...... These are also the lives of a druid.

Sometimes, however, he still likes to run in the mountains and forests like this.

Arriving at a hill only a short distance away from Yingxiu's urban area, Zuo Lin stopped and looked down at this not too big and not too prosperous place. The wolf's body has a flexible back and powerful claws, which makes it very easy for him to run along the way, and almost no physical strength is consumed.

He shuddered and changed back into human form. Dressed and walked down the hill with a large backpack like a normal traveler, and walked into the edge of town.

Following the guidance of the electronic map in the PDA, Zuo Lin quickly found the place where Chen Jianzong pressed the first shutter. It was a semi-abandoned warehouse on the edge of the general market. Yingxiu is located on the edge of the waterway, not far from the national highway, and the trade of various materials is more frequent here. The so-called comprehensive trading market is basically a management fee, and anything can come in and set up a stall, as long as it is not obviously illegal, the management personnel generally turn a blind eye. It's a great place to shop for all kinds of items. Chen Jianzong met those people here to buy agricultural products.

Since it was late at night, only a few large light bulbs were still on in the market, and the lighting was a little inadequate for a large area. Zolin bypassed the trading market and made his way to the warehouse.

The warehouse was empty and looked a little deserted. In three tall but rough frame buildings side by side, the only things that can function are ordinary water and electricity pipes and a small cold store. The doors of the warehouses were tightly closed, but one of the warehouses could see that the lights were on, and when they got closer, they could hear a clear human voice coming from inside, as if several people were playing cards.

Zuo Lin did not rush closer, let alone raise any intention to ask. He approached the old locust tree in the middle of the weedy flat behind the warehouse. He pressed his hands to the trunk of the tree, meeting the rustle of the leaves, and Zuo Lin chanted a very short incantation. This spell has only two overlapping characters, but it is the most basic spell that all plant druids have mastered, and most animal druids can use this spell to a limited extent, because this spell symbolizes one of the most basic abilities of the druids - communicating with nature.

The old locust tree shook its branches up and down as if welcoming a friend. A beam of extremely clear natural power entered the trunk of the old locust tree, and the waves dispersed to every leaf of the old locust tree, every trace of leaf veins. This is a reward for it, because it is only through it that Zolin can understand what has happened around here.

All the animals and plants may not be able to understand such words and expressions, but they quickly understand Zuo Lin's intentions. Through the sound of the trembling branches and leaves of the old locust tree, through the root system of the old locust tree, the question is like the murmur of moonlight, like a drop of water falling into the calm and somewhat lonely lake, passing out one by one.

No matter what the answer is, listening to the sounds of nature is always peaceful and joyful. Zuo Lin's power can only affect a circumference of more than 200 meters, perhaps for ordinary people, this little bit of vitality is limited. However, for Zuo Lin, the sounds coming from here were already quite complicated. The simplest fungi can only send back a simple tribute, the birds, the cats and dogs that live in the room or under the eaves, with or without owners, will tell Zuo Lin what they see and hear, the flowers and trees will express the things they remember in their bodies with subtle swaying, and their ubiquitous roots faithfully record the effects of every living creature crushing over them...... There were so many voices that there was a very light, light hum in the air.

Knowing that a small convoy that had settled here a few days ago had left, only a few people had left, and there had been no dispute here, Zuo Lin understood that Chen Jianzong was not here. He approached the warehouse, climbed up the metal ladder outside, and looked through the ventilation window almost two stories away. In the middle of the warehouse was a square table, illuminated by a floor lamp with a long wire, and several angry young men gathered around the table to play cards. In the corner of the warehouse, a container truck is parked in the shadows.

The empty warehouse itself was an excellent structure for the gathering of sounds, allowing Zuo Lin to hear the conversations of those people without having to bother with it.

“…… Lao Peng: They will come back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. ”

"That's right. Lu Yi's boss is good, and bringing this business is enough for a few brothers to mix for a year. ”

"In the past, Lao Peng had no way, and Xiao Xiao didn't like this kind of business. Although you make a lot of money, the risk is big enough. If you are caught, you will be shot, I don't say it. ”

"The difference between the price of slaughtering and selling and selling alive is too much, 20 times the difference. It's normal to be a little riskier. The risk is not great, who will pay this price. ”

“…… It's really strange, I heard the boss who introduced Lu Yi say, didn't Lu Yi run the business of Taiwan and Fujian? That is, he is better at transporting people to Japan or Southeast Asia, so how did he come here this time? ”

"I heard that Lu Yi is the person designated by the boss who picks up the goods, otherwise Lao Peng contacted another way to prepare to make a move. ”

"Lao Peng has a way?"

"5 million, dollars. took it, Lu Yi ran over and turned the price code 4 times, 20 million. Old Peng Lima agreed, and he didn't care if he offended the original buyer, and looked like he was ready to take the money ashore to enjoy the blessings. ”

"20 million, obediently, those rich guys are really willing. One business is worth 10 years of Xiao Xiao's struggle. ”

"Xiao Xiao's life is not good, fur is not worth anything after all. ”

"It's not what we say if it's worth it, no matter how valuable it is, the big head doesn't fall on us. After Taiping finished the order, he took the money and went home to see if he could buy anything else. If you do this kind of business again, I don't know if it's worth spending money. ”

"yes, yes, that heart is beating so hard, if you do it again, it's time to pay tribute to the hospital. ”

…………

Listening to a few people laughing while playing cards, it may be those people who stayed here. No matter what they want to transport out, no matter what the final destination is, I'm afraid they will have to pass through Yingxiu once. Otherwise, these people would not have stubbornly left such a few people here at the risk of being suspected of being discovered.

$20 million is a staggering amount indeed. Before leaving, Zuo Lin had browsed the current list of international wildlife smuggling prices. A golden monkey costs only 200,000 US dollars, a red panda costs 100,000, and most snakes do not exceed 50,000 a piece, but the price of butterflies and insects is relatively high, perhaps because the living conditions are harsh. $20 million, what can you buy?

In any case, Zuo Lin decided to see if he could find Chen Jianzong first, and then, he would use this warehouse to set up a killing game. These people in the warehouse should be glad that they can live a little longer.
