Before Director Kerry prepared to leave work, he browsed his personal mailbox as usual.

An email from "Daniel Edward" caught his attention.

Edward is the current CEO of Boeing.

Boeing is one of the main contributors to UNDP, and Kerry himself is acquainted with Edward.

Therefore, the two are both partners at work and friends in life.

The subject line of the email is "About a New Star".

Kerry felt a little strange.

It seems like it's a work thing, but why did he send it to my personal email?

Kerry opened the email with confusion.

The content of the email is also very simple, only one sentence.

"I heard that Huaxia has discovered a terrestrial planet, is it true?"

It seems that Edward didn't know where he heard a little gossip, and it was difficult to make it public, so he emailed him privately.

Every time a new planet is discovered, it is a time of crazy competition between countries and major companies.

Prospecting for mineral resources and seizing advantageous geographical locations require first-hand information.

It's no wonder he's so sensitive to such news.

Kerry replied: "As far as I know, did you hear anything?" ”

UNDP has received absolutely no reports of this, but that doesn't mean it's not happening.

The Interstellar Development Treaty stipulates that any unowned planet discovered by mankind in the universe is the common property of mankind.

In other words, a single possession by a State is not allowed, let alone by an individual.

More than 200 countries have signed the treaty, pledging that they will strictly abide by its contents and supervise each other.

But everyone has selfish intentions, and everyone wants to take advantage of themselves.

For example, two years ago, a Western European country discovered a second-class planet in the Canis Nebula and concealed it for nearly a week before announcing it, which gave them a huge head start.

Other countries have condemned and despised it, but in fact they are all red-eyed.

Unlike intercourse between individuals, inter-state interactions do not require any cheekiness at all.

Especially in this special period of the great discovery of the universe, having a shameless spirit can often be exchanged for huge benefits, so why not.

Edward quickly replied with a message: "Where are you now?" Is it convenient to chat? ”

"Convenient, I'm in the office, I'm getting ready to get off work."

Toot toot, toot toot......

A tone that asks for a call.

Kerry clicked agree.

Edward's hologram appears in the office.

"Isn't there any news from the representative office in China?" He asked eagerly.

Kerry shrugged and asked rhetorically, "Where did you hear that?" ”

Edward coughed, his expression becoming a little unnatural.

"My daughter."

Kerry was stunned: "Linda? ”

And how did she know?

Edward scratched the stubble on his cheek and said vaguely, "She recently had a Chinese boyfriend...... I accidentally overheard their call logs......"

Kerry was speechless.

Can you accidentally hear this?

But that's not the point, and Kerry didn't take the opportunity to complain about him.

"In short, they mentioned a planet called the Garden of Eden in their casual chat, saying that it was discovered by two Chinese people, and the scenery on it was very beautiful, and they also mentioned live broadcasts, survival competitions and the like, which I don't understand very well, and eighty percent is the new language of their young people."

Eden? I haven't heard of it.

To be on the safe side, Kerry logged into his account, typed the word Eden into the database and clicked search, but no relevant records were found.

"Are you sure they're telling the facts, not the scenes in the movies or novels?" Kerry asked.

"Doesn't sound like that." Edward said, "I think we should verify it as soon as possible, and we can't let the vicious incident of two years ago happen again!" ”

Said righteous indignation.

Kerry nodded and dialed the number of the representative office in China.

But he didn't really care much in his heart.

Eden? Two Chinese? Sounds a bit like a fantasy.

Edward must have misunderstood Linda's conversation with her young boyfriend.

……

……

Zheng Guo was woken up by the sound of cooing.

The rain is still pouring down, and the momentum is not abating.

His treehouse is currently in good shape, with all the rainwater running down the roof and onto the ground, not seeping in at all.

It's just a little cold, and the temperature feels almost ten degrees lower than during the day.

Zheng Guo sat up and saw that Gugu was flapping his wings, looking restless.

Are you hungry again?

Zheng Guo was helpless, and glanced down.

It was pitch black.

The bonfire had already been completely extinguished, and with the rain curtaining it, it was impossible to see anything clearly.

The rain seemed to be unstoppable for a while.

Click!

A flash of lightning flashed across the sky, and the surroundings shone around.

Zheng Guo was stunned.

By the flash of light, he seemed to notice that something was wrong, as if something was missing.

After reacting for a moment, Zheng Guo's heart suddenly sudden.

The smoker grill is gone!

He hurriedly grabbed the edge of the treehouse and looked down, and his hair was instantly soaked with rain.

Just then, another bolt of lightning struck.

This time, I can see clearly, the smoker grill is really gone.

Zheng Guo's heart throbbed.

Naturally, it's not that I feel sorry for the smoked grill, but because I feel sorry for the bacon on it.

That would have been his food for the next two or three days!

Nine times out of ten, it was stolen by some animal.

He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

It is common sense that a few traps should be set around the camp before going to bed, and this time it is careless.

Zheng Guo wanted to go down and check it out now, but reason told him that it was dangerous to do so.

The light was dim, he could barely see his fingers, and the rain was so loud that it deprived him of both his sight and hearing, and if the bacon thief was still nearby, he might have taken the opportunity to attack him.

This kind of enemy in the dark and in the open must be avoided.

There is no other way but to wait. Wait until the rain stops, or until dawn.

Zheng Guo sat cross-legged in the tree house and began to close his eyes to recuperate.

The cooing was for a while, and then gradually subsided.

Wow-whoa-whoa-whoa

Heavy rain spared no effort to wash the island.

……

……

Zheng Guo experienced a long and difficult time, and he felt that at least more than two hours had passed.

When I opened my eyes, the rain still didn't stop, but it had weakened, at least it didn't obstruct my vision.

The sky was slightly bright.

Zheng Guo looked down.

Puddles of water were everywhere on the ground, springs gushing outward, and streams at least doubled in volume.

Looking around, I didn't see any suspicious figures.

Zheng Guo grabbed the edge of the tree house and jumped down, immediately pulled out the spear stuck in the ground, and looked around vigilantly.

The smoker grill has fallen apart, and the wood is scattered all over the ground.

Zheng Guo picked up one for observation and found that there was a row of marks similar to tooth marks on it.

I checked the other supplies, water bags, mud pots, vines...... It's all still in place, intact.

All that disappeared was bacon, not a single piece left.

Immediately after, Zheng Guo found a row of messy traces, extending from the camp all the way out.

Judging from the traces, it seems that there is more than one thief.

Or a gang.
