Chapter 58: The FBI's Invitation

(Please pay special attention before the start of this chapter: I will make an explanation, so as not to understand the book friends who don't know much about foreign countries, 1. The green card only obtains the right to reside in the United States, not to become a U.S. citizen, and does not have many political rights, such as the right to vote and the right to be elected; 2. Since the protagonist is in the United States, many units of measurement are foreign, so the area in my book, except for the special mark, is acres, one acre is equal to 6.07 acres, please pay attention to the book)

It was already March, and the farm and other industries were getting smoother and smoother under the control of Lan Jiawei, and all the previous investments had been recovered, and they began to make substantial profits. Just as he was enjoying life with his family, several uninvited guests interrupted his peaceful life.

The day after receiving the phone call to make an appointment, he received several guests in the small living room of his home, one of whom was none other than Wharton, an FBI agent who had been here last time for Kawakami's affairs.

"Mr. Lan, I'm sorry to disturb your life, but the U.S. government needs your help," said a middle-aged man sitting across from Mr. Lan, who had learned from his previous introduction that he was Bob, the leader of a joint FBI-cIa team.

After Chiyo came in with a few cups of coffee, he casually closed the door and went out, and after Lan Jiawei motioned for everyone to be casual, "Mr. Bob, can you tell us more about the situation?" I would seriously consider it."

Very satisfied with Lan Jiawei's attitude, Bob took a sip of coffee: "Here's the thing, 20 days ago, one of our scientific expeditions lost contact in the Amazon region, and after that, we sent two top search and rescue teams and marines to search and rescue, but both lost contact one after another."

Lan Jiawei happened to be bored recently, and he became interested in listening: "Please continue"

"We have learned through several incidents, such as Japanese ninjas, giant wolves, etc., that you are a person with a lot of experience in jungle search and rescue, and you have special skills, so we invite you to search and rescue American citizens who have lost contact."

Looking at Lan Jiawei's expression, Bob smiled slightly, took a sip of coffee and continued: "It's really good coffee. In addition, we will apply for U.S. citizenship and an international driver's license for you and your parents in advance, and give you the position of a senior FBI consultant, of course, this is a vacant position without going to work and without a salary, which can bring you some convenience, and you can also refuse to participate in the mission in the future."

Lan Jiawei stood up and shook Bob's hand, "I admit I was convinced, but I have a request, after sending me to the location, I will go it alone"

After looking at a few team members, Bob nodded: "No problem, you can go and explain to your family first, we will wait for you to set off together"

Pulling his wife aside and talking about things briefly, Chiyo was not very worried, she was very confident in her husband's ability, and kissed her husband, "Saving people is a very important thing, but you have to go home early and go talk to your parents"

Lan Jiawei just told his parents that the company was in a hurry and he had to travel for many days, but Lan Ma and Lan Dad were very understanding and told him not to worry about his family, and his career was the most important.

When Lan Jiawei followed Bob and the others to the base in Pennsylvania, his American citizenship and related documents had been completed, and even his parents' had been completed, and the documents had been sent to his company in Boise.

Bob took Lan Jiawei to the Ministry of Science and Technology to choose weapons, and after Lan Jiawei symbolically chose a micro charge, a new pistol and two pretty good multi-purpose daggers, he was stunned when he saw a recurve bow hanging on a wall, this is a very sci-fi bow made of unknown materials, and he feels that this bow is no worse than a meteor.

Bob smiled, of course he knew that Lan Jiawei was a master of archery, and motioned to a scientific and technological personnel, the female scientist walked forward and whispered to Lan Jiawei: "This is a bow made of the latest technology foam metal, a bow made of nanocellulose, equipped with a special quiver and 120 arrows made of nano titanium alloy for various functions, but due to the calculation error, the final tensile force formed is too high, reaching 220 pounds, no one can use it, and it has been displayed here."

Lan Jiawei turned his head and asked, "Can you try it?" The surrounding tech personnel all stopped and looked, and Bob nodded: "Of course, Mr. Lan"

After stepping forward and taking the bow down, Lan Jiawei found that the weight was very light, took the gloves handed over by the female scientist and put them on, and pulled them more than 20 times without blushing or panting before saying, "Good bow."

The people around were a little stunned, although there were often all kinds of tough guys here, but this was the first time they had seen such a thing. The female scientist was stunned for a moment, and stepped forward: "It can be folded, which is one of the reasons why it is made of so many materials worth hundreds of millions of dollars", and showed Lan Jiawei after speaking, the shrunken bow was the size of a ping-pong racket, which could be put into a specially equipped bag.

After taking all the arrows again, this bow is considered Lan Jiawei's, and after naming this bow "Phantom" in his heart, he took some survival equipment and thin combat clothes with excellent bulletproof performance with the mentality of not taking it for nothing, and the equipment is complete.

After signing the confidentiality agreement, and following Bob to a meeting room, Lan Jiawei found that there was still a team of exploration team members, everyone greeted each other and introduced them, and began to listen to the group members introduce the situation.

"We found out last year that this area is 50 square kilometers, where all the electronic equipment will be useless, the satellites will not be able to clearly show what is going on inside due to the obstruction of the rainforest, and it is located in the central area of the Amazon forest, and all kinds of dangers are many times more than the periphery, so we sent the best scientific expeditions in, but we have lost contact, and then we have sent two teams of experienced marines to explore, and there is no news."

Bob walked up to the big screen and continued: "We have sent a note to the relevant countries that we will use helicopters to drop you off from the positions of the two search teams, which are 5 kilometers away from the no-signal area, and you will have 96 hours, which is 4 days, and if there is no news by then, we will take Plan B."

That night, a special transport plane began to transport Lan Jiawei and the other search team members, until they landed on a US aircraft carrier in the early morning and rested for a while, and then began to change to two helicopters to transport them to different places.

Lan Jiawei was placed in the northeast of the accident site, and he wanted to explore in the southwest direction. On this side, according to the agreement with Bob, he was the only one who acted alone.

Because he also had camera equipment and a positioning system on his body, he didn't put the items into the ring for the time being, but walked forward with the tactical bag and equipment.

Tracking the traces left by the early team members all the way, before entering the no-signal area, he contacted the base and entered the signal blind spot, and found that the plants in the surrounding rainforest were more lush, and after walking for a while, he threw some unused things into the ring, and used some Mir's ointment to apply to his body to drive away the annoying poisonous insects in the tropical rainforest of the southern hemisphere.

Although he was like entering his own home for the forest, he was still very careful, and deliberately carried the two daggers brought by the Academy of Science and Technology cross-body around his waist, and held the phantom bow in his hand just in case.

The tropical rainforest is terrifying not only the poisonous insects and beasts everywhere, but also the invisible swamp that kills people, after killing a few poisonous spiders and snakes that tried to sneak attack, sure enough, he keenly found a swamp covered by fallen leaves, and bowed his back, Lan Jiawei swung like an ape and leaped between the trees with vines between the trees, and saw two hats floating in the far distance of the swamp, which should have been left by the members of the former exploration team who were dragged in and eaten by the beasts.

Due to the difficult road, Lan Jiawei only walked less than 15 kilometers this day, and there were still more than 10 kilometers away from the center point, looking up to see that it was almost dark, hanging the elf hammock between the two trees, taking out a high-level monster tooth and hanging it at the head of the bed, and sprinkled some insect repellent and snake repellent powder around, before taking a shower with the portable washing equipment he brought to take a shower to remove fatigue. I rested in my hammock with peace of mind, and I barely slept last night, so I fell asleep after a while.

On his side, it was relatively smooth, and the exploration team on the other side, which came with him, had already lost four of the ten people and the other two seriously injured due to the pythons and poisonous insects, as well as the ubiquitous trap-like death swamp. The remaining four people who were intact discussed it for a while, and they were all ready to return with the wounded at dawn tomorrow and abandon this mission.
