The Amazon jungle in South America is the largest primeval forest in the world.

In this 2 million square mile stretch of wet, hot land, traversed by the Amazon, the longest freshwater river in the world, is home to countless deadly animals and dangerous and poisonous plants.

It is also home to more than 20 million indigenous peoples who have called the Amazon basin home for generations, living in the forests as hunter-gatherers.

For some of them, all animals are huntable and all meat is edible, except for tribal relatives, and these people are often referred to as 'cannibals'.

Because there are three 'specialties': brutal beasts, highly poisonous mosquitoes, and cannibalism, there are usually only two normal people who dare to hike in the depths of the Amazon.

One is the true adventurer, in the eyes of these people, the Amazon forest is a paradise given to them, just like the water in the hand of the thirsty, the food on the table of the hungry, and the danger is to be explored;

On the other hand, there are botanists and botanists, for whom the Amazon forest is a natural biological museum, a haven for scholarship.

Apart from these two types of people, anyone else who goes on a hike deep into the primeval jungle of the Amazon is either an idiot or a madman.

As for spending a little money and taking a few tour guides to conquer the entire jungle stretching for thousands of kilometers on foot, it is even a fool's dream, I am afraid that even three witches like Zhang Lisheng would not dare to try it easily.

Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment, and commented on the two 'real men' who did not choose to spend Christmas by the fire during the winter vacation, but went on an expedition in the Amazon: "Well, they are really brave..."

"Don't talk about it, Li Sheng.

Harrick was first introduced to Henry, and if something really happened, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life. Tina said as she moved to Tricy's mother's room, sighed, and pushed open the door.

The wards of public hospitals are much the same, after Zhang Lisheng followed Tina into the ward, Ma Shan heard a loud roar: "I don't want to listen to any reasons and explanations, Mr. Nagotte, don't listen to any reasons and explanations!"

Now my wife has just gotten off the operating table and is going back to the ward.

When she comes to her senses, I'm going to hear good news, good news.

Okay, don't say any more, you might as well go to my son when you have this time. ”

Standing in front of the hospital bed, a middle-aged man with a square face and a big nose who was at least two meters tall and sturdy like a polar bear pressed the call button in his hand fiercely.

The man was none other than Tricy's father, Howeg Steger.

The 45-year-old comes from a family of serious Catholic military men in California, where his grandfather served in World War II as a brigadier general and was awarded the 'Order of National Service 2nd Class'.

His father and brother are both active high-ranking military officers.

Howeg also served in the military as a young man, and his service unit was the office of the Joint Staff Council, one of the highest decision-making bodies of the Mi** team.

He has served as the executive intern and the third-level executive secretary of the Office of the 'Joint Staff Conference' of the United States... Permanent Secretary Officer.

After 12 years of service, receiving the rank of lieutenant colonel and the 'Medal of Loyalty', Howeg, who had accumulated extensive contacts in both military and political terms, chose to retire.

Established 'Bluewater PR Agency' in Washington, D.C., and engaged in political lobbying business.

His special work experience gave him both the loyalty of a soldier and the cunning of a politician, and his background in a family of Catholic soldiers allowed hawkish and dovish politicians to introduce him as confidants at the same time.

As Howwig once said, "A wise politician will have enough political literacy to maintain a fair attitude towards any political matter, but no matter how clever a politician is, he is not a piece of wood..."

In just two years, Bluewater Public Relations has opened up the situation in Washington, D.C., and skillfully resolved several serious international political crises with clever mediation.

After eight years of development, the company has miraculously become one of the most successful political lobbying firms in the country's political arena, with clients ranging from African political strongmen to emerging world-class governments.

After achieving great success in his career, he lived in seclusion in New York and faded out of the political circle on the surface, but in fact, he successfully entered the deeper political level of Howeg, and naturally became the new darling of New York's high society.

In short, career, family, love... Strong, energetic, and never thought there was anything wrong with him stumbling over him, until his son, Henry, was born.

This is the first time that I don't know how many times I have 'wiped my ass' for that unconscious son, and this time it seems that Howeg is still very tough on the surface, but deep down in his heart there is a deep sense of powerlessness.

The natives of the Amazon don't need to maintain any good relations with Washington, and that wild land is a blind spot that cannot be reached by Howwig's connections and power.

The only thing he can do is put pressure on the rescue team found through special means, and as for the practical significance of such an approach, only God knows.

Howeg's roar silenced the room, except for Tracey's low sobs, and Cheria whispered comfort to Tracey, and next to them stood two tall, thin young men of similar appearance.

"Tricy, I'm sorry if I didn't treat that damn Harrick...", Tina cried lightly, walked up to Tricy and apologized for the first time.

"It's not your sister's fault, I just heard Dad arguing with the search party, worried about Henry, Henry...

He's only seventeen, he's seventeen..."

"Henry won't be fine, Tricy.

By the way, you see Li Sheng has come to see you, he is a jungle hunter, he is most familiar with the situation of these primeval forests, he just said, as long as you are well prepared, in fact, the Amazon is not so terrible.

Is it Li Sheng?" Tina gave Zhang Lisheng a look.

"Tricy, Tina's words are good.

It seems to me that the primeval forest is divided into four levels like a donut, and if your brother hires an indigenous guide, it will not be too dangerous. Zhang Lisheng nodded and said.

Howeg, who has always doted on his daughter, heard Tracey's cry like a knife, and secretly hated that he shouldn't be able to hold back his temper, yelling and frightening his daughter.

Hearing Zhang Lisheng's words, he immediately pretended to care and said, "Young man, are you also a friend of Tricy?"

I've heard you talk about the jungle very insightfully, can you talk more about that 'donut' layer?", trying to distract Tracey.

"Of course, sir, the layers of the jungle are not as obvious as the layers of the donuts, but are intertwined.

The first layer is the outer layer with the lowest 'sweetness', and in the case of the Amazon River, I speculate that this part of the area should contain most of the Amazon basin...

The fourth layer is the core area with the highest 'sweetness', including several undiscovered primitive tribal settlements in the middle of the Amazon River and muddy lands to the west, as well as...," Zhang Lisheng said.

Listening to Zhang Lisheng's narration, Howeig's expression gradually became serious, as a top 'political broker', he intuitively saw that the young man in front of him was not a rhetorical person.

"Young man, it seems that you do have your own opinion on the jungle. ”

"I just know a lot about the insects and reptiles that are known throughout the world. ”

"Uncle Howeg, Li Sheng has lived in a small mountain village built in a primeval forest in the west of Sichuan for more than ten years, and is a real jungle hunter who once saved my life in the jungle. Tina added.

"You're the boy who saved Tina, and I heard Tricy tell you your story at the dinner table, and she said you had a big centipede for hunting. ”

Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "You must think that is a fantasy." ”

"No, for a man who has worked in the Joint Staff for twelve years and has temporarily settled in Black Africa for three months, that is not a fantasy. Howig looked at Zhang Lisheng, stretched out his hand very formally and said, "I'm Howig Steager."

Young man, if it weren't for the fact that I met in this situation today, I would say it was a pleasure to meet you. ”

"Mr. Howeg, my name is Zhang Lisheng..."Zhang Lisheng shook Howeg's hand and said.

At this time, the door of the ward was suddenly pushed open, and several nurses pushed a haggard woman who was unconscious, still dripping with a hanging bottle, covered with a quilt, and a heartbeat monitor on her chest, walked into the ward.

The stretcher was followed by the doctor, "May I ask which one is the patient's relative?"

"Doctor, I'm her husband, how is my wife doing?" asked Howeig as he let go of Zhang Lisheng's hand and hurriedly rushed to the doctor's side.

"The operation was successful, the patient is out of danger for the time being, but he must not be irritated again...", the doctor began to state the patient's condition to Howeg;

The nurses carefully moved the emaciated woman onto the hospital bed, and then began to place various medical monitoring instruments;

Tricy walked briskly to her mother's window and wept as she looked at her sleeping mother;

Her boyfriend and friends whispered sympathetic comforts to her.

In the ward, which became overcrowded, everyone had something to do, and Zhang Lisheng took the opportunity to leave.

It's a good thing to regain his friendship with Tina, but it's not worth involving him too much energy, and in the next few days, Zhang Lisheng lived a step-by-step life and completed his first semester of study after coming to the United States.

The average grade of 'B' in the seven courses is not good or bad, but when it comes to the fact that he is a transfer student and only takes half of the class hours of the average classmate, this grade becomes quite positive.

After the exams, it is the winter vacation, and when the winter vacation comes, the 'New Year's ball' that accompanies it is about to begin.
