After walking around the camp and finding that the danger had basically been ruled out, Wang Huaan asked Yu Shanwei to bring someone over to clean up the mess, and what should be done has to be discussed in the long run.

Hearing the shouts from Wang Hua'an's other side of the Changhe River, the members of the inspection team immediately cheered, and everyone thought that after getting back the baggage in the past, they could re-agree on the route of the investigation and go on the road. As for the feeling of danger that the wild wolves had brought to them last night, it seemed to have vanished with the arrival of the bright sunshine.

Of course, only the person concerned knows that the fear in the heart does not disappear easily.

The expedition team returned to the south bank by raft, and unlike before, they did not put away the raft, but tied it to the shore, waiting to be used at any time.

When Liu Rui walked back to the camp along the path that he had run wildly last night, he was also quite emotional, he never thought that he would be so embarrassed when he was in danger for the first time in Xiaoqingshan. Last night's encounter reminded him that Xiaoqingshan's trip was not as easy as he had imagined, and there were many dangers involved.

Standing on the edge of the camp, looking at the camp that could no longer be seen at all, Liu Rui had a question in his heart: "Is this still the unusually neat camp that he cleaned up last night?" ”

Sighing in his heart, Liu Rui joined the rescue and packed up all kinds of items as much as possible.

Liu Rui found that his tent had broken a big hole, and even if it was sewn up in the future, he didn't know if it could still prevent rain, and it seemed that it was on the verge of scrapping. The sleeping bag that was originally warm and comfortable, and only accompanied Liu Rui for a few wonderful nights was also scratched by several huge scratches, and the down filled in it flew everywhere. What made Liu Rui even more depressed was that there was a bubble of wild boar's feces and urine spread on top of the sleeping bag, which made Liu Rui cover his nose.

Fortunately, Liu Rui's habits before going to sleep were better, and he packed his bags very neatly, when Wang Huaan gave the order, he picked up his two bags and got on the boat, except for tents, sleeping bags and some scattered things, there was not much loss.

Compared with Liu Rui, Xu Wenchang suffered the most losses, because the time was too hurried last night, and the specimens he put in the camp were not put away at all, and in the end, they were all ruined by wild boars without exception. Looking at the unrecognizable specimen folder, Xu Wenchang wanted to cry without tears, this was the result of his harvest in the past three days, and now it was destroyed in one fell swoop.

Those herbariums with symbolic surnames like alder are okay to say, and if you have time to go to the alder forest to collect and make them in the future, but some plants with sparse individuals, let Xu Wenchang go back to look for them now, and they may not be able to find the original location.

After working for more than half an hour, the investigation team finally cleaned up some things that still had use value and cleaned them up, as for those items that had no repair value, they could only be gathered together.

"Teacher Yu, what should I do now?" Wang Hua'an asked Yu Shanwei about it, and also expressed the thoughts of all the team members.

"What else can I do? Let's go back! Yu Shanwei knew that it was quite difficult to make such a decision, but the reality of the situation was no longer for Yu Shanwei to have illusions.

Because everyone moved relatively quickly last night, the food, medicine, clothing, personal belongings, and research equipment of the expedition team were not greatly affected. However, most of these bulky sleeping bags and tents have been ravaged by wild wolves and wild boars, and they are no longer usable.

Last night, the members of the expedition team sat around the fire to rest, but everyone was still unable to recover their strength and looked a little tired. Fortunately in the low-altitude area, the temperature difference between day and night is not very large, and if you go to the Fairy Lake, the problem is serious.

Although the Fairy Lake is not a high-altitude area at an altitude of more than 2,000 meters, the temperature at night will drop to about 10 degrees, and if you don't have a sleeping bag or tent, you will definitely catch a cold. Anyone who has studied high school will understand the serious consequences of catching a cold in an alpine region.

There is another important factor, and that is the weather!

Once it rains in the mountains, the team without a tent will be drenched in soup, and there will be more dangers!

After thinking about it and discussing it with other teachers in the inspection team, Yu Shanwei had no choice but to make such a difficult decision.

Although they are unwilling to return to Liangcun like this, everyone will not be reckless and use their own flesh and blood to fight against nature. After figuring out this section, everyone was silent, packing up and preparing to return.

"Teacher Yu, what about these things?" Looking at the equipment in the center of the camp that could no longer be used, Liu Rui asked.

"We'll have to pack them all up later, and then take them back to the village to deal with them!" Looking at those expensive camping equipment, Yu Shanwei felt a little distressed.

Most of the fabrics of these camping equipment are chemical fibers, and the brackets are made of various carbon fibers and aluminum alloys, although they can no longer be used, but the expedition team cannot just throw them in the jungle. Even if these things are buried for decades, it is still unknown whether they can be decomposed, and Yu Shanwei naturally will not risk polluting the environment to discard them here at will.

The Xiaoqingshan area is a pristine ecological jungle that has not yet been set foot in by a large number of humans, and as a guest who came to this green mountain and green water for the first time in thousands of years, Yu Shanwei did not want to be scolded by future generations. Whether it was the last time they went to the mountain or this time they were on the expedition, the inspection team was to minimize the discharge of all kinds of garbage and carefully classify the garbage.

Organic garbage, such as leftovers, meat bones, etc., is naturally easy to do, and if you throw it anywhere in the forest, it will be eaten by animals within half a day, or it will be quickly decomposed by microorganisms. As for the plastic bags and other inorganic garbage used to package food, the inspection team cleaned it up and put it into a backpack, ready to take it back to the city and dispose of it.

Yu Shanwei and others, who often go on field investigations, are accustomed to seeing the white garbage that can be seen everywhere in some forest parks or nature reserves, and they hate it. When things are implemented, they naturally have to start from themselves, and protect the environment from the details around them.

Hearing Yu Shanwei say this, Liu Rui also understood, bent down and neatly folded the tattered tent sleeping bags and put them into a big bag.

Because of the urgency of time, the expedition team did not hunt or cook hot food, but nibbled on compressed biscuits with pure water as in the morning. After eating, counting the belongings and resting for a while, the members of the expedition team reluctantly left the bamboo forest that had brought them depression and went back in the direction they came.

It was now past half past twelve, and the expedition needed to get to the boulder where the night before it fell, and the team, having lost most of their tents and sleeping bags, had little choice. In just a few hours, it was a great test for the members of the investigation team to travel such a long way.

At noon, when the sun is at its strongest, once the group walks out of the jungle and walks in unsheltered places like river valleys or ridges, the hot smell makes everyone sweat like raindrops. When the sweaty team members rushed into the jungle, the cool breath made them feel a little chilled, and the two could be described as two heavens of ice and fire.

It stands to reason that this condition is the most likely to cause colds, and in the past, when the troops were marching, they would always try to avoid it. But this time, in order to be in a hurry, the investigation team could only grit their teeth and insist, hoping to arrive at the destination before the end of the day.

Different from the usual leisurely and relaxed feeling, after speeding up his pace, Liu Rui felt that the backpack on his shoulders had become much heavier in just half an hour. The bag, which was originally only thirty or forty pounds, gradually became heavier, and slowly climbed towards a more terrifying feeling.

Perhaps, this is the so-called theory of relativity.

Helpless, Liu Rui could only walk slowly at the back of the team, and then took the opportunity to throw some things in his bag into the Shennong space. In the Shennong space, a lot of materials have been saved, but Liu Rui has never had the opportunity to use them, which seems a bit wasteful.

At this time, Liu Rui especially felt that it was a very inconvenient thing to enter the mountain with others, obviously he had the most convenient space in Shennong, but he had to be the same as others, becoming a packer, carrying a heavy bag and shuttling in the dense forest.

Liu Rui secretly decided in his heart that if he had activities in the mountains in the future, he would try to separate himself from others and act alone.

During yesterday's march, in order to collect specimens, take pictures, and observe the various animals that kept appearing, the route of the expedition team was somewhat detouring and even repetitive. Today, in order to save time, the expedition team chose the nearest route to rush to the direction of the boulder based on the marks left when they came and the records on the map.

After all, it's no joke to travel through the rainforest at night.

At night, the jungle becomes a paradise for poisonous snakes and poisonous insects, and these nocturnal animals can be seen almost everywhere. In addition, many carnivores will also appear at this time, such as wild wolves, cheetahs, etc., which can pose a huge threat to the members of the expedition team.

Last night's wolves were a vivid example of this.

In order to rush to the position of the boulder before it fell, Wang Huaan and Zhao Liang, who were in charge of opening the way, both brandished machetes vigorously, cut off the rattans and branches that appeared in front of them, and led the team to move forward quickly. Especially Wang Huaan, who was guilty, vented his frustration on the obstacles that blocked the road, gritting his teeth, as if dealing with enemies who did not share the sky.

However, there is an old saying: "Look at the mountain and run a dead horse!" ”

When the expedition team set out, they walked leisurely for a whole day, and although they felt relaxed, they actually walked a considerable distance. Now, it's a bit difficult for the whole team to get back to where they were in just five or six hours.

Especially now, the whole team has been affected by the attack on the camp and the expedition can only give up halfway, and the morale is low. In addition, because of the tossing and turning last night, and no longer being able to rest well, objectively the physical strength of the whole team has decreased, which has brought more difficulties to the march.

"It's almost there! Almost there! Liu Rui can only cheer himself up in this way of hinting in his heart, hoping to reach his destination as soon as possible.

Will they be able to get to the boulder before it falls? In fact, Wang Hua'an has no bottom in his heart!
