Chapter 41 Begins
"I'm sorry, Ellie." Chang Wei had to explain: "I'm in the rainforest of Indonesia now, and the signal here is very poor, so I can't help it, so I won't call you until now." β
Ellie also knew that this was probably the reason, she said, "It's been more than ten days, when will you come back?" β
"It may be a while." Chang Wei said: "Bruce is inquiring about the news, and the person I hired has not yet arrived." β
"Hired people?" Ellie said, "Is it necessary?" β
"Perhaps." Chang Wei smiled: "Do you know that the rainforest is not for me, but I can't let others know." β
Ellie was surprised, and finally said, "Then you must come back early, honey, I miss you." β
Hanging up the phone, Chang Wei couldn't help but be in a trance.
He felt as if he was wandering between two worlds, and in just ten days, he had the illusion that things were right and wrong. St. Edward's farm, and Ellie, seemed very far away.
Shaking his head and killing all this feeling, Chang Wei walked down the hillside with a signal and turned back to the indigenous tribe.
It is said that it is an indigenous tribe, but in fact these tribes still have close ties with the outside world. Otherwise, Chang Wei's money can't be spent.
These natives just maintain their primitive habits, but many daily necessities need to be purchased from outside.
They also use their mobile phones, they also watch videos, and if they change their clothes and freshen up, they are not very different from the people outside.
In the past few days, Chang Wei searched near this tribe, and only found a plant that had a slight reaction to mana, which had a certain cultivation value, and was collected by him into the wooden hole to maintain vitality.
He decided to leave the tribe today, go back to Jakarta, meet Bruce, and then decide whether to continue into the deeper rainforest.
Say goodbye to the natives who are reluctant to cling to themβbecause of Franklin, of course. Chang Wei soon returned to Jakarta.
He reached out to Bruce: "Hey man, how's it going?" β
There was a lot of noise on Bruce's side, and it took him a moment before he replied, "Sorry boss, I'm dancing in the cabaret right now." But don't worry, it's almost done. β
Chang Wei said: "Let's meet." β
Soon, Chang Wei and Bruce meet in a bar.
The two sat down at the bar and asked for drinks. Bruce said, "The Immortal Flower, also known as the Blood Orchid. β
He got straight to the point: "I found out the name of this rare plant through the path of a few friends, and they called it the blood orchid. β
"Blood Orchid?" Chang Wei was stunned, and suddenly became familiar.
But Chang Wei was not surprised, the appearance of Ethan Hunt and Jason Byrne let him know that this world is not exactly a single movie world in his memory, this is a real, more complex and diverse world. So the appearance of blood orchid is understandable.
"That's right." Bruce said: "I also found a paper in a related scientific journal about blood orchid, in which a scientist said that this blood orchid is very precious and contains key substances to prolong life, so it is called the flower of immortality." This should be true, otherwise pharmaceutical groups like Pfizer would not have been involved. β
Chang Wei is clear.
Blood orchid is indeed a plant that can prolong life and promote evolution. It's precious. Although I don't know how useful it is to Chang Wei, who already has the Dao and mana of the Body God Realm, it is definitely more precious than those in Chang Wei's garden, and has a huge cultivation value.
"And what about Pfizer's engagement?" Chang Wei said: "You know, I'm just a person, and I can't compare with that kind of big group. β
Bruce laughed, "Boss, you don't have to worry about that. Pfizer seems skeptical and unconcerned, and they have only provided less than a million dollars in activity funding for the project. β
"Oh? Do you know this? β
"That's right." Bruce said, "It's not a secret, the professor named Jack is still making a big deal about it." For less than a million dollars, they have to buy insurance, pay for a team of mercenaries, find a boat and find a guide, all kinds of expenses, and that kind of blood orchid seems to only appear at a certain time, so they are in a hurry. BOSS, if you don't call me today, at most I'll have to go to the jungle tomorrow to find you, or I'll miss it. β
Chang Wei was a little lucky, his luck was very good, and he didn't delay time.
"You said they were in a hurry, which means they arrived in Indonesia?" Chang Wei asked.
"That's right. It's nothing but Borneo. Bruce said, "So we're going to fly to Pontianak now." β
"Not this side?"
"It's not." Bruce said: "It's the Satan Basin in the province of Paran, Borneo. However, the exact location could not be ascertained. But we don't have to rush too much, Dr. Jack, the guy who published the paper on blood orchid in a scientific journal, he and his little team have just arrived in Borneo, I checked their itinerary, they arrived in Jakarta last night, and then took a boat to Borneo, which should have arrived at this time. They will next go looking for guides and people who are willing to take them deep into the rainforest during the season. β
After a pause, Bruce said: "The rainforest is very dangerous, especially in this season, so guides are very important, and very few people are willing to go deep into the rainforest during this season, so it is difficult for them to find people. But boss, I've found someone for you, but you need to talk about the payment yourself. β
Chang Wei was very happy: "Bruce, you are a powerful guy. β
Bruce laughed, "That's right." For Franklin's sake, BOSS, I never let my employer down. β
Leaving the bar, the two of them sprang into action, and after a little preparation, they sailed across the sea to Borneo.
When we arrived in Borneo, it was pouring rain.
Raincoats or something, it's not worth mentioning in the face of such a tropical rainstorm. Bruce wiped the rain from his face and said to Chang Wei, "Look, this is the norm in Borneo this season. Torrential rains hit twice for three days, causing the water level of the Hakan River to rise sharply, and many sections of the river are brewing dangerously, so almost no one wants to go deep into the rainforest at this time. β
He asked Chang Wei to wait under the eaves on the side of the street, and after a while, Bruce drove a car.
In the car, Bruce said to him: "If anyone has the courage to go to the Satan Basin at this time, then it is only him, and it is also an American, this guy is a bounty hunter like me, but this guy has a lot of problems, often makes ends meet, owes a lot of debts to the bank, and he is hiding from debts here." As long as you can afford it, he can do anything for you. β
Then he joked, "Even if I water with you." β
Chang Wei hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't, I like women." β
"I like women too."
Chatting casually, the two drove deep into the rain.
"He lives in a small town near Pontianak." "He's got a boat, he's a regular in the rainforest," Bruce said. If I am an expert in the Amazon rainforest, he is an expert in the Indonesian rainforest. β
"Debt evasion?" Chang Wei expressed disbelief.
"Don't believe it. If he really wants to escape debts, he should go to the Eastern Celestial Empire. He stayed here to facilitate the mission, he was most familiar with this place, and only did the mission here, and this was his home base. β
Chang Wei is clear.
