The scorching sun was in the sky, the sky was cloudless, the air seemed to be frozen, there was not a trace of wind, and the sultry heat enveloped the world.

Lin Nanfeng squatted beside a small stream, stretched out his hand to wash the green liquid on his hands in the clear stream water, it was a tree insect caused him trouble, the green worm's body fluid was very disgusting, but Lin Nanfeng was used to it, he had been living on the edge of Tibet, in the area of Motuo for more than 100 days.

After washing his hands and taking a closer look at them, he made sure that there were no insect hairs that could make him itch, and his hands were very rough, with prominent knuckles and thick calluses on his palms, and he looked like a pair of tried and tested veterans.

"Lin Nanfeng, keep up. ”

"It's coming. Lin Nanfeng hurriedly responded to the call of the team leader, stretched out his hand hurriedly into the stream, scooped up a handful of water and slapped it on his face, hurriedly wiped his face and got up, turned around and strode away.

Soon caught up with the eleven members in front, Lin Nanfeng was dressed in camouflage uniform, wearing a camouflage sunhat, carrying a large camouflage backpack behind him, and a multi-functional saber and a small tool military bag around his waist.

Don't look at Lin Nanfeng wearing camouflage clothes, he is not a soldier, but a geological prospector, more precisely, a trainee geological exploration student, he is twenty-three years old this year, and he has not officially graduated from college, but if this apprenticeship is smooth, he can not only get the certificate he has worked so hard for, but also get a formal job.

The work of geological exploration is not popular, and the students who are pampered in the city rarely have the character of being able to bear hardships and stand hard work, and they are not afraid of hardships and dangers, and the work of geological exploration also requires great physical qualities.

Lin Nanfeng's body is very good, he was born in a mountain farming family, he has been going to the mountains to collect medicine, pick mushrooms, and even catch centipedes, scorpions and poisonous snakes since he was a child.

Lin Nanfeng has been unfortunate since he was a child, his parents have died of illness one after another, and an uncle has been taking care of him, although Lin Nanfeng knows how to be motivated, but because he is in the mountain environment, the effect of teaching is average, and Lin Nanfeng in order not to burden his uncle, he also spent half of his time going up the mountain to seek harvest.

The restrictions of conditions make Lin Nanfeng's academic performance average, but in order to aspire to a better life, Lin Nanfeng insisted on finishing junior high school and high school, and under the guidance of a kind teacher, he applied for the military academy and geological exploration university, but it was impossible to be admitted to the military school, but the notice of the geological exploration university was magically sent to his hands.

Lin Nanfeng followed behind the last colleague, this line of 12 people is not all engaged in geology, there are eight people engaged in geological prospecting, two are border guards, two are botanists and botanists, the Tibetan border is adjacent to India, the jungle area not only has natural dangers, man-made disasters are also terrible.

After walking for a while near noon, the team leader ordered to rest, and the members got busy, took out the alcohol stove to boil water for cooking, Lin Nanfeng made pasta, and chatted with a colleague while eating.

That colleague is thirty years old, named Liu Feng, and he is from the same mountain as Lin Nanfeng, so Lin Nanfeng has a good relationship with Liu Feng, and if you don't understand, please ask Liu Feng.

And Lin Nanfeng's least favorite is the team leader Wang Lei, Wang Lei has always ignored him, although Lin Nanfeng has an easy-going and diligent temperament, but he is very stubborn in his bones, so he has always been respectful and obedient to the team leader Wang Lei, but he never took the initiative to please.

In the afternoon, the geological prospectors observed the rocks and judged the geological formations, the flora and faunologists held their cameras to record the flora and fauna they found, and the two soldiers held their submachine guns, like sentinels looking left and right.

Lin Nanfeng is very familiar with these two military brothers, and those close to him have used their guns to shoot, and he was criticized by the team leader for this, saying that he was harming others and himself.

Of course, Lin Nanfeng lowered his eyebrows and admitted his mistakes, whether he can graduate and get a formal geological exploration job, Wang Lei's evaluation can account for at least three points, if Wang Lei takes the initiative to say that he is a manufacturable material, then he can have a weight of seven points, which is what Liu Feng told him.

When it was approaching dusk, one of the botanists in the team sighed, Lin Nanfeng was closer, and when he heard the sound, he saw that the botanist looked into the distance, he also turned his head to look, but he saw that twenty meters away, there was a plantation similar to a coconut tree, but the plantation was not high, only two meters high.

"Nanfeng, you can help me get over for a while. The botanist said.

It was a man in his fifties, Lin Nanfeng hurriedly responded to the call, left the side of the team to open the way, and walked towards the plantation forest through thorns and thorns, the scholars followed behind, they left sideways, and the team then left sideways to accompany them, this trip to prospecting is one thing, if you can find an unknown species, then everyone can do it.

After a while, he arrived at the plantation, as soon as he touched the plantation, Lin Nanfeng's heart palpitated, and suddenly there was a creepy feeling, he subconsciously stopped, his eyes looked at the plantation vigilantly, he saw that the shape of the plantation was very similar to a coconut tree, and there were many round coconut fruits on the tree.

But he also found that it is different from the coconut tree, one is generally low, and the other is that the coconut fruit is as green as a pearl, that is, the coconut fruit is too big for each fist, too round and smooth, like a giant grape grain, and the trunk is like a bamboo, Lin Nanfeng saw this kind of bamboo tree for the first time.

He stopped vigilantly, but the botanist behind him stretched out his hand to push him away, and ran into the plantation regardless of it, reaching out and touching the plant, Lin Nanfeng hurriedly walked a few steps to the left to make way for the team members behind.

"Professor Li, what kind of tree is this?" asked Wang Lei.

"It's probably an unknown tree species, I don't think I've seen it. Professor Li touched the trunk of the tree and said, and then reached out to pick the green fruit, but it was not picked, and even the tree did not move.

The team members poured into the woods, excitedly touching the trees and pulling the leaves and picking fruits, but no one could destroy the plant, Lin Nanfeng could not avoid walking into the plantation, reaching out to caress the bamboo trunk, and then looking up to observe the green fruit on the top of the trunk.

"Why is this tree so strong, is it an iron tree?" asked one of the soldiers.

"It's definitely not an iron tree, it's just a name, and the leaves come down as soon as they are pulled, and this one can't be pulled down at all. Someone replied.

"Professor Li, this is definitely an unknown tree species. Wang Lei shouted excitedly.

The soldier saw that he could not pick the fruit with his hands, so he raised the butt of his rifle to strike, and bang, bang, the butt of the spear hit the green fruit, and it made a loud crashing sound, and the fruit was not shot down at all, it was really like a fruit tree made of iron.

"Don't knock anymore. Lin Nanfeng subconsciously spoke to stop him, because he suddenly had a feeling that someone seemed to be staring at him angrily.

"Don't destroy. Professor Li also spoke.

"There are so many trees, it's fine. The soldier turned his head and laughed, and continued to shoot the fruit, with a thumping thump that shook the eardrums.

Lin Nanfeng suddenly stirred, on a hot day, he suddenly felt cold all over his body, and felt a pair of cold eyes looking at him, he hurriedly turned his head to look around, but he saw that everyone was paying attention to planting trees, not looking at him.

"Hell, how do you feel like someone is watching, and I don't have special abilities. Lin Nanfeng pondered in horror, because the feeling of being stared at lingered.

"Brother Liu, do you have a cold feeling of being stared at?" Lin Nanfeng was frightened, and walked three steps to ask Liu Feng who was close to the left.

Liu Feng was stunned, looked at Lin Nanfeng and said: "On this hot day, there will be a cold feeling." ”

Lin Nanfeng could only nod, but Liu Feng was puzzled again: "Nanfeng, are you sick, why are you so pale?"

"Oh, maybe sick, I'm feeling a little cold. Lin Nanfeng responded.

"Oh, then hurry up and take medicine, if you get sick, it will have very bad consequences for you. Liu Feng said with concern, if Lin Nanfeng is sick and has to send him back, then he is likely to miss the opportunity to become a regular this time.

Lin Nanfeng could only nod, but he didn't feel like he had a physical illness, he was fine before, it was only after entering this plantation that he felt strangely uncomfortable, and everyone else was fine, so he couldn't explain what was wrong with him, and he couldn't leave the exit of the team, so he could only grit his teeth and endure it, but because of the invisible fear in his heart, he had no intention of observing the plants, but stood next to Liu Feng.

"This must be an unknown species, so let's check how many there are so we can report back to our superiors. Professor Li finally made a solemn conclusion.

Everyone was excited when they heard this, and they all agreed to go deeper into the investigation, Lin Nanfeng had the heart to retreat, but the fear and discomfort in his body suddenly disappeared, and he also dispelled the intention of retreating after he lifted his spirits.
