Ah Zhuang seemed to be very obedient to his Third Uncle. Although it seemed like he was still angry, he brought Zhang Lisheng, Tina, and the rest of them along the swaying deck obediently and came to the two cabins that were placed side by side at the head of the cabin. The numbers' 11 'and' 12 'were written in white paint on the iron door in bold.
"There are only two empty cabins on the boat and they're for three people. You guys can only sleep in the storeroom if there's one more person.
Oh yeah bro, we've been talking for so long but I still don't know your names.
Let me introduce myself. I'm Xiong Zhuangming, I'm a sophomore business administration student at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. "
"Brother Xiong, I'm Zhang Lisheng." Zhang Lisheng pointed at Tina, Trish, and the rest and introduced them one by one, "She's Tina, this is Trish, she …"
"'Brother Xiong', your Sichuan accent is really too funny.
I don't think I need to introduce the rest. Seems like you won't be talking to me for the next few days on the boat with your IQ.
Here's the satellite phone, use it however you want. You guys can get your own rooms and take care of each other. We're all men on the boat, there's no babysitter.
I'm going to look after the wood for my dad.
Oh yeah, the small door at the end of the room is the bathroom. There's a shower in there. Wash off the smell on your body quickly, I'll get someone to send you guys food later. "
Ah Zhuang took out a rectangular phone with only ten numbers on it from his pocket and shoved it into Zhang Lisheng's hand. He then turned around and left.
"What a nice guy," Zhang Lisheng mumbled as he watched Ah Zhuang leave. He then called his mother's phone.
The phone was picked up immediately after two rings. Zhang Lisheng spoke first, "Mom, it's me, Lisheng. I've been camping in the jungle these few days and there's no signal on my phone. I didn't want you to worry, so I borrowed my friend's satellite phone to contact you today. Are you okay?"
"Oh baby, I've been so worried these few days. If you didn't contact me, I would've gone to the Amazon to look for you …"
"Mom, I came to a primitive rainforest like the Amazon for a scientific expedition. Of course, I can't contact you all the time. Don't worry, I'm safe.
Well, my companions are calling me. We are going to classify the specimens collected today by the campfire, as is our custom.
Again, don't worry about me. I'm safe. I'll be back in New York in less than three weeks. Bye, Mom. "
"Then, then … goodbye, baby," Lili said reluctantly.
Zhang Lisheng hung up the phone and looked at Tina and Trish in front of him. "Satellite phone, do you need to contact anyone?"
"Lisheng, I want to contact my parents too. They must be worried sick.
I think Trish wants to contact her brother. I really don't understand why the satellite phone in our backpack would be broken in a flood. Otherwise, we might have returned to Tuikano a long time ago. "
"Satellite phones can't teleport.
Alright, make the call. I'm going to take a shower in my room. Remember to only tell me the general situation over the phone. As for the details … "
"Don't worry, Lisheng. We're better at lying than you.
Oh right, Shittu and Walter are boys, it's not easy for me and Trish to take care of them. Can you help? "
"Of course not, I'm not their nanny.
But you can put them in the same room with me. They actually don't need special care, they'll eat and drink as soon as they see food and water, "Zhang Lisheng opened the door of cabin No. 11 and walked in.
"Zhang Lisheng, you're so ungentlemanly …" He heard Tina's complaint before closing the door. He smiled nonchalantly and walked past the three hammocks that were connected end to end while carrying his backpack. He walked into the bathroom at the innermost part of the cabin and took a hot shower comfortably. He then washed all of his clothes with soap and put them back on after wringing them dry.
Zhang Lisheng realized there was a basket on the floor of the narrow cabin when he walked out of the bathroom. There were steaming hot buns and a thermos in it.
The buns were filled with meat. They were fatty but not greasy. There was egg soup in the thermos, the browned egg was fragrant as soon as he smelled it.
The food was simple but delicious, Zhang Lisheng enjoyed it heartily. After he was done eating, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to plan his next step.
After returning to the city by boat from the rainforest, Tina and Trish would probably bring Sheila and the other two who were already demented to leave Tatetutu and return to New York for treatment. Zhang Lisheng, on the other hand, wanted to enter a treasure mountain and return empty-handed.
He could refine another wizard worm to control since he broke through to Rank-4 Wizard. The Amazon jungle had the most insects and reptiles in the world. It was much easier to find a suitable target to refine into a wizard worm here than in New York.
Zhang Lisheng thought about the suitable target to refine and the giant bee with hollow spikes on its head and tail appeared in his head all of a sudden. Unfortunately, it was impossible for him to find the strange giant bee now, so he could only give up after thinking about it.
In the end, Zhang Lisheng decided to send Tina and Trish back to the city and refine the two wizard worms again. He would go on a bug hunting trip in the Amazon jungle alone in his best condition after familiarizing himself with the new Rank-4 Wizard incantation. He must choose a powerful wizard worm before the end of the winter holiday.
He picked up the basket and walked out of the cabin after making up his mind.
Although his clothes were wet, Zhang Lisheng felt completely different compared to last night as he breathed in the fresh Amazon air on the deck after washing his body.
Recalling the vague longing he had for living a simple life in the primeval forest, he forced a smile and murmured, "It seems that living comfortably in the jungle will require more resources than living in the metropolis. At the very least, it's necessary to have a safe place for cultivation.
It's not as simple as I thought. No wonder those ancient witches would bother to be tribal leaders, they don't have money and manpower … "
A tall black silhouette came out of the dark on the deck all of a sudden as Zhang Lisheng was mumbling to himself, "Brother, what are you talking about? Why are you talking to yourself in English?
Your English is as fluent as the characters in American movies but your Mandarin is so lame. Don't tell me you're a spy that America sent into our Chinese team? "
"Brother, I'm practicing my English all the time," Zhang Lisheng replied casually seeing that it was Xiong Zhuangming, "Your satellite phone is with Tina and the rest, I'm just about to …"
He had a good impression of this compatriot with a carefree personality but a kind heart.
"It's fine, let the American babes call me all they want. I'm just here to see if you're asleep or not. If you're not, I'll talk to you."
"Talk about what?"
"How did you get your American visa? I'm brainstorming about this. I'm planning to study in America next year with my own ability, even if it's just an exchange program for half a year."
"Why would I go there? Apart from making money easily in America, there's nothing interesting about living there."
"Brother, you've got three men and three women coming to the Amazon to be a backpacker, what's that?
Don't I want to waste my youth too? I'll just go back after I get a green card, it'll be more convenient for me to go abroad in the future, "Xiong Zhuangming peeped at the skinny Zhang Lisheng under the moonlight and said," Do you have any experience to share with me? It's not like I'll lose anything. "
"My mom's an American Chinese while I was born in an American hospital. Although I grew up in Western Sichuan, but …"
"But, but, but my balls. You're born in America, so you can get your passport anytime you want!"
"That's right."
"Then why did you tell me about it? Forget it, forget it. Go rest, sleep early since you've just escaped from danger."
"Erm brother, I still need to return the basket to the kitchen."
"You're quite attentive, I'll return it for you. Go sleep, go sleep." Xiong Zhuangming snatched the basket from Zhang Lisheng's hand and walked away in big steps.
Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment, he turned around and wanted to return to his cabin. He thought about it before he entered and knocked on the door of the cabin next door.
There was no response for a long time after he knocked on the door. Zhang Lisheng thought that the two ladies might have fallen asleep, so he did not continue knocking and returned to his cabin.
He sat on the floor after shutting the door. He took out Mountoad from his backpack and began cultivating the secret method.
It was his first time cultivating since he broke through to Rank-4 Wizard. Just when he calmed himself down, the Demon's image in his head appeared completely on both of his hands.
Subsequently, the Demon's feet began forming an internal and external cycle with the wizard worm's breathing black gas. A blurry shadow appeared slowly.
He was unconscious during cultivation, he seemed to be asleep and awake at the same time. The night passed quickly. Zhang Lisheng was only woken up by the knocking on the door when the sun was high in the sky the next day.
"Lisheng, Lisheng, are you awake?"
"I'm awake, wait a minute." Zhang Lisheng put away Mountoad immediately and opened the door after washing up.
Tina and Trish were standing outside the door. The two ladies' clothes had been washed and were considered clean. However, their faces were paler than when they were in the jungle. "Good morning Tina, Trish.
What's wrong with you guys? You look so pale. "
"Good morning Lisheng, we've been throwing up for the entire night. This ship is too bumpy.
Luckily Trish contacted Hatton last night, we should be able to return to Tuikano soon. "
"Return to Tuikano soon? Could it be that Trish's big brother has found out where this ship is and is planning to pick us up with a plane?"
"That's right, there aren't many Chinese companies that buy forests in the Amazon jungle. It's easy to locate the flight route.
If we do it overnight, I think Hatton will find us in the afternoon at the latest. Perhaps we'll be sleeping in the Paradise Hotel's bed at night. "
"I was joking just now. Does Mr. Hatton really know how to fly a plane? Is there a need to rush?" Zhang Lisheng said after being stunned for a moment.
"Of course, Trish and I have had enough of this sh * tty place. We've sworn that we'll never step into a rainforest country like this ever again."
Zhang Lisheng smiled helplessly hearing Tina's angry curse. He then said in all seriousness, "If we can see Mr. Hatton in the afternoon, we'll have to think of a good excuse to explain Sheila and the rest's current situation."
