The nights in the rainforest are very muggy. Sandwiched between dense rainforests, the river is at its lowest altitude, almost impermeable, and the temperature is milder than during the day, but still wet and stuffy.

The boat ride is not a leisurely and relaxing journey, but can be tiring. So most people were already resting by this time, even Bruce.

He chatted with Chang Wei for a while, and then entered the cabin.

The Latin female Gail, maybe she couldn't stand the heat, she came out of the cabin, saw Chang Wei on the deck, hesitated for a moment, and said thank you a little stiffly.

Chang Wei smiled honestly and waved his hand again and again: "It's nothing, it's nothing." Without me, they will save you. ”

During the day, Gale fell into the river, and Chang Wei shot the crocodile quickly, saving her from the disaster. But she never thanked her. You may remember it now.

"At the time... I was really scared...", she leaned against the guardrail, looking into the deep night, "that crocodile is big, isn't it?" I think it might swallow me in one bite. ”

"Uh... That's how it is in the rainforest. Chang Wei said: "A lot of dangers. Bruce told me something. ”

"You like exotic plants?" She suddenly asked, "Would you rather take such a risk?" ”

Chang Wei smiled: "This is my only love." I'm a farmer and I want to build a botanical garden with all the exotic plants in the world. ”

"How did you know about Blood Orchid?" She said with a match.

"Bruce told me." Chang Wei grinned, "I'm Bruce's long-term employer. He's a bounty hunter, and I hired him to help me find exotic plants all over the world, and I paid him. ”

"I heard you gave that Bill a hundred thousand dollars?" Gail said, "It's too high. If it's me, give him 20,000 at most. ”

"He won't do it for 20,000." Chang Wei said: "This season, except for giving high prices, you can't find anyone." ”

He was curious: "You Pfizer is the number one in the pharmaceutical industry, why are you so stingy?" ”

Gail's face, which was still a little smiling, suddenly fell: "I'm not a farmer. ”

Chang Wei smiled honestly.

She couldn't help but say, "Are all farmers so rich?" Do you know how many years it took me to get an annual salary of 100,000 yuan from graduating from college to now? ”

Chang Wei showed a hint of curiosity.

"Six years!" She said: "I graduated from Harvard, and my mentor recruited me at that time and told me to give me an annual salary of 100,000 yuan and let me be his secretary. ”

Chang Wei smiled: "I know." ”

"There's something to do with the secretary, huh!" She snorted: "I gave him a hard kick and let him lie in the hospital for half a month." ”

"And then?" Chang Wei expressed interest.

"And then I didn't get my Ph.D." She sighed: "Then I went to Pfizer, and I found out that you men are all the same ghosts." But I still struggled step by step to become a white-collar elite. I struggle, I struggle, I'm not like you, you have a farm, I have nothing. ”

It seemed that she needed to vent after the fright, and she nagged a lot, regardless of whether Chang Wei was interested in listening to it or not.

What are the unspoken rules of the workplace, all kinds of cats and whatever, what to do, and how did she avoid it. She told Chang Wei that she had always wanted to get married, but couldn't find a suitable one. She felt that it was her former Durian Mentor who gave her a psychological shadow, and she hated that old ghost so much.

"It's too hard for people of color in a society like in the United States." She sighed: "Although I am a little better than blacks and Asians, I still have a lot more difficulties doing the same thing than whites." I sometimes feel like I can't hold on. ”

This is the voice of a woman with a somewhat perverse personality.

Although Chang Wei was not very interested, he inevitably sighed a few times for her after listening to it.

"You look like a nice guy." She suddenly approached: "I have to thank you for saving my life." ”

Her hand groped underneath, and Chang Wei stiffened, trying to avoid it.

"Don't." She said, "I will repay you." ”

It's a bit sudden.

...

The next morning, Bruce came to the bow of the boat and smiled at Chang Wei.

He gave a thumbs up: "The legendary coincidence is clumsy? This seems to be a phrase from the East. You're really good, you honestly hook a woman, that thing is also amazing, two hours, my boss, do you know how hard it is for the people in the boat? ”

Chang Wei showed a hint of embarrassment: "I can't refuse." ”

"Why refuse?" Bruce grinned, "That woman is beautiful, isn't she?" Healthy skin, tall figure, although the temper is a little stinky, but it doesn't matter, and it's not a wife. It's good to be comfortable. ”

The ship set sail again, staring at Chang Wei with big eyes and looking at Chang Wei with extraordinary eyes. Gail, on the other hand, never came out, probably because he was too badly injured last night.

Chang Wei didn't say much about this.

Once and simple communication, that's all.

That's what he thought, and that's what Gail said.

Westerners are like this, and the interest comes directly.

Bill walked over, gave a thumbs up, and said, "We'll be at the mouth of the river around noon." I observed that the rainfall upstream was not as amazing as I thought, and if nothing else, we would have taken a shortcut. ”

"That couldn't be better." Chang Wei expressed satisfaction.

For this news, Jack and others were also very happy.

However, things always go in the worst direction - before noon, before they reach the mouth of the Three Forks, they have to replan their next route.

Because the river was blocked by a few big trees that had fallen over!

The boat couldn't drive through at all, and there were no corresponding tools, so a few small knives couldn't help those big trees.

"I have no choice but to reroute." Bill sighed: "Now there are two options. First, we retreated into the fork in the river we had crossed half an hour earlier. Second, disembark. ”

"How far are we from the Satan Basin?" Dr. Jack frowned.

"If the road hadn't been blocked, with the amount of water we've observed, we could take a shortcut and get there in just one day. If we go back to the fork in the river, then we will have at least three days! ”

"Three days?!" Hearing Bill's words, Sam exclaimed, "How could it be three days?!" ”

Bill shook his head and flipped through his map, "You see, you have to go around a big circle to the south to get in from here. Three days is still a conservative estimate. ”

"And what about getting off the boat and going overland?" Bruce said on the side.

"Incalculable." Bill spreads his hands: "The situation in the rainforest is complicated, and I can't guarantee that we will be able to get everyone to their destination on time. ”

"Three days," Jack looked confused.

The black man Jordan said: "If you go by land, excluding any other factors, how long will it take at the earliest?" ”

"At least three days." Bill Road.
