Although the Mexican man named Fernando was full of lies, and nine out of ten things he said were made up, there were one or two things that might be true. For example, coyotes attacked homeless people at night, or people gave homeless people free food and shelter, which matched the information Zhang Zian had heard before.
However, as a talkative fighter, Zhang Zian could not fall into the same trap twice. He asked further, "Which Mahogany Park?"
The English names of the three parks were Mahogany, Red Shirt, and Jumbo Shirt. It was not easy to confuse them, but it was not surprising that the Mexican tramp had mixed them up.
"Which one? The one by the northern seaside. " Fernando spread out his hands, his eyes still staring at the knife on the ground. "So can you return the knife to me? I still have a long way to go. Of course, if you are willing to give me a ride, I will gladly accept. You are a tourist in the United States, right? If you are interested in going to Mahogany Park, that would be great! It's really beautiful there. Only those shallow white people would swarm over to Yosemite! Brother, you can trust me. I am the best guide on the West Coast of the United States. I used to go hunting in the forest with my uncle, and we even killed an adult grizzly bear with our bare hands. It was really thrilling at that time … "
Famous took a step closer to him, and he immediately admitted defeat. "Forget it. Pretend I didn't say anything."
There was only one Mahogany Park by the northern seaside, which was the super large park group composed of one national park and three state parks.
The most popular park around San Francisco was undoubtedly Yosemite, because it had spectacular waterfalls and beautiful scenery, as well as a group of crazy rock climbers who lived at Camp 4.
In contrast, Mahogany Park was relatively plain. There were only trees there, an endless sea of trees. Except for the towering "Tall Tree," most Americans could not think of any scenic spots in the park that were worth visiting. Even if tourists wanted to see the iconic Tall Tree, they would have to hike through the dense forest for more than two hours before they had the chance to see it.
There were quite a few tourists who went there, but most of them drove through the forest road and rested in two small towns, one in the north and one in the south. After taking a few photos and sending their location, it was considered a success.
If you really wanted to go deep into this primeval forest … you would need at least ten days to half a month to get out, and that was if you didn't get lost and didn't run into any danger. In fact, Mahogany Park's visitor management center didn't recommend tourists who didn't have enough hiking experience to abandon their cars and leave the road.
People who often watched B-grade horror movies in the United States would know that there was a common plot in horror movies. A group of young people went camping or exploring in the forest, and then encountered mutant creatures or psychopathic murderers. In the end, they were all wiped out, and at most, only one female lead escaped. The more famous ones were "Ghost Players", "Invasion of Darkness", "Lake Eden", "Cabin in the Woods", and so on. They all happened in such a desolate primitive forest.
Although the movie was fictional, it was true that people often went missing in the forest.
"Go away. Remember what I said just now. Don't let me see you again." Zhang Zian waved his hand.
Fernando wanted to say something more, but Famous glared at him. He picked up the skateboard and ran away in a hurry.
Zhang Zian didn't know what to do with the knife. It didn't seem good to leave it there. If it was picked up by the local children to play with, it might hurt himself. If he threw it into the trash can, it might hurt others. So he picked it up and threw it into the sea.
"Zian, in my opinion, since we can't find the location of the venison slaughterhouse, it's better to go to Mahogany Park to try our luck. At least we can try to persuade some people to turn back. What do you think?" Old Time Tea asked.
Old Time Tea saw that Peter Lee and his group had used free food and accommodation as a lure to entice so many people who didn't know the truth to leave San Francisco to join the Cosmological Information Society. Maybe they would use them to do more crazy things. Old Time Tea couldn't bear to see them continue to be deceived, so it hoped to go there and expose the truth. It was best to completely destroy Peter Lee's nest.
Zhang Zian thought about it. "I think it's feasible, and … maybe there is some connection between these two things."
He remembered very clearly that when Peter Lee was bewitching people in Chinatown, he always talked about the plague of the world. Although he wasn't sure if it was deliberately scary, it was still worth a try. As Old Time Tea said, they couldn't find the location of the venison slaughterhouse anyway.
Driving back to the restaurant, Snowy was still waiting anxiously at the door. She was relieved to see him drive up.
Zhang Zian briefly explained the situation. He only said that the Mexican thief was a guy who bullied the weak and feared the strong. After being caught by Famous, he surrendered obediently. He felt that there was no need to send him to prison, so he let him go after giving him a few verbal lessons.
The netizens didn't find it strange. This was Famous, not a random Husky on the street. The thief could only blame himself for being blind and choosing the wrong opponent.
After the meal, Snowy paid the bill, and they continued to their destination.
Muir National Park was a popular tourist destination near San Francisco. Even if it was foggy, there were still many tourists who came to play.
This park was equivalent to the lungs of San Francisco. Because it was close to the city, many San Franciscans were willing to take their children or partners to walk in the woods and breathe the fresh air with extremely rich oxygen.
Snowy paid for a double ticket, and Zhang Zian accepted it calmly, which made the netizens angry. They scolded him for not being a gentleman at all. In fact, he paid for the gas.
Homeless people also appeared near Muir Park. Like Fernando, they were walking north, hoping to hitch a ride with kind-hearted people. However, such lucky people were few and far between. No one was willing to let these filthy, smelly, potential criminals get on the bus.
There were also police cars parked at the entrance of the park. It was said that some homeless people had made trouble here yesterday. In order to prevent homeless people from making trouble again, the police were sent out.
There were three hiking routes in the park: short, medium, and long. The short one could be completed in half an hour, and the long one would take an hour and a half.
Zhang Zian and Snowy discussed a little and unanimously decided to choose the medium one.
Shortly after setting foot on the hiking route, Snowy excitedly took 360-degree photos of the surrounding green to the netizens.
Zhang Zian patted her on the shoulder and gestured for her to be quiet. He then pointed to the jungle not far away to let her see.
It was a sika deer, and its beautiful big eyes were looking at them.
