Early the next morning, Zheng Xiaohu and the others went back to Jiangnan with their men, while Jiang Cheng continued to complete his task. Deep in the back mountain of the Mushan Group, Jiang Cheng set off with a team of Chinese Academy of Sciences and the provincial special police corps. The team, including Jiang Cheng, had a total of 32 people. Half of them were researchers from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. They came down to see with their own eyes one of the few remaining South China Tigers in the world.
The remaining half were the special police officers of the provincial special police team who followed Mi Yi down. Since it was dangerous to go into the mountain to catch the South China Tigers, Mi Yi deliberately transferred all the special police officers he brought into the team. All of them were armed with live ammunition to protect these golden branches and jade leaves of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The experts who came this time were all young. Except for the two who were strongly requested by Jiang Cheng not to enter the mountain, the oldest among them was only 40 years old and strong. The others were about 30 years old. The youngest was a girl surnamed Ye. Jiang Cheng did not know why she was selected into the team, but Mi Yi said that this girl was a big shot and he should take good care of her. If something happened, it would be a big problem.
Jiang Cheng could not help but curl his lips. He guessed that this girl surnamed Ye must be a descendant of a powerful family or a descendant of the red aristocracy. Otherwise, Mi Yi would not be so nervous.
However, Jiang Cheng had to admit that this girl surnamed Ye was really beautiful. He stared at her several times along the way. Her beauty seemed to be the kind that could make people feel intoxicated from the bottom of their hearts.
Jiang Cheng secretly looked at the roster and knew that this girl was Ye Yuwei. She was only 23 years old this year, but she was already a top student with the State Council's allowance and the Chinese Academy of Sciences' allowance. She majored in biology and had a very significant breakthrough in biology.
Jiang Cheng did not know what the specific breakthrough was. After all, he was not omnipotent. He was not interested in those jars and cans. What he dared to be interested in were those iron lumps. Airplanes, cannons, firearms, and knives were his favorite.
Jiang Cheng and his team set off early in the morning. At this time, they had been walking on the mountain road for three hours. People in the team began to complain one after another. The oldest of them, Du Liyan, the director of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, asked Jiang Cheng, "Comrade Jiang, we have been walking for so long. When will we arrive?"
Jiang Cheng saw that these people were already complaining incessantly after walking for only three hours. If they continued to walk like this, wouldn't it mean that they wouldn't be able to reach the hiding place of Fourth Brother that Fifth Great Uncle had mentioned tomorrow?
In fact, Fifth Uncle only said a rough location because it was not him who sent the Fourth Prince into the mountain, but his great-grandfather who had passed away. However, great-grandfather did not tell anyone in the village the exact hiding place of the Fourth Prince. So the location that Fifth Uncle said was basically a guess.
However, things had come to this point and the team had entered the mountain. Mi Yi could not drive these people who were full of thinking about seeing the tiger out of the mountain. Moreover, it was indeed not safe for the Fourth Prince to stay in the deep mountain. Nowadays, hunters were very bold. Now the price of a South China tiger on the black market had risen to the sky.
According to the latest news, the South China tiger that Jiang Cheng and the others saw was the only wild South China tiger in the country. The appearance of this South China tiger was huge news. A group of cadres of the Chinese Academy of Sciences had long set their eyes on this South China tiger.
Therefore, a group of cadres of the Chinese Academy of Sciences actively signed up for this operation. In the end, the higher-ups still selected these 32 people to be part of the team. In the end, after a screening by Jiang Cheng, two older people were kicked out of the team. Now the whole team was made up of elite soldiers.
Jiang Cheng looked at the group of white and fat academicians and said with a smile, "You bunch of office workers are so precious. You don't usually exercise. Now you know the suffering of poor physical condition. You can't even climb a mountain smoothly. Look at them, look at them, they are only 15 years old. Their bodies are not even fully developed yet. Along the way, their children ran in front of you and cleared the way for you. Don't you feel ashamed?"
Jiang Cheng's words made the group of young people blush. Except for the 15 special police officers who were protecting them, the rest of them were panting and looked very tired.
Jiang Cheng looked at them helplessly and couldn't help but shake his head. He looked at his watch and found that it was already past 10 o 'clock in the morning. In another hour, they would have to prepare for lunch. Jiang Cheng looked at the sky and found that there were no clouds in the sky. The weather was very good. He ordered, "Okay, now everyone take a break. We will rest for ten minutes before continuing. After another hour, we will rest for lunch. Is that okay?"
"Oh yeah, long live the leader!" As soon as Jiang Cheng finished speaking, a few girls in the team cheered.
They had long been so tired that their legs were about to break. There was still a path in the mountain in the beginning, but since the second hour, there was no road in the mountain. All that was left were weeds and dense jungles. This group of girls had never been to this primeval forest.
It was said that there were poisonous snakes and insects everywhere in the primeval forest. Although they were all highly educated academicians, they all knew that it was just said to scare people. But in this primeval forest, there were indeed many poisonous insects and beasts.
Now that Jiang Cheng ordered everyone to rest in place, a group of special police officers got busy. They took out the cushions that they had prepared for these geniuses, for fear that their butts would be bitten by insects.
Before coming here, Mi Yi had specially told them that even if they were bitten all over their bodies, even if they were poisoned by poisonous snakes, they could not let these babies get hurt. They were all future great scientists. It would be terrible if even one of them died. If something happened, it would be a big deal.
A group of special police officers had been instilled with a lot of political ideas on weekdays. They all regarded the orders of the chief as more important than their own lives. Now in their eyes, these young men and women dressed in colorful clothes were the future pillars of the motherland. How could they not protect them with all their might?
Jiang Cheng watched these special police officers lay out the cushions for this group of young masters and ladies, and took out food and water for them to enjoy. He was so angry that his nose became crooked.
After he and Mu Ping chopped down a patch of weeds with their knives, they sat directly on the pile of weeds. Then, they took out the corn pancakes that Mu Han had baked for them at home. The two of them ate with relish. Even Big Gray, who had been by their side, got a pancake.
Big Gray ate the corn pancake very quickly. In two or three bites, the corn pancake was swallowed into its stomach. After eating its share, Big Gray squatted in front of Jiang Cheng and Mu Ping, staring straight at the corn pancakes in their hands.
Jiang Cheng understood that Big Gray was not full and still wanted another piece.
Jiang Cheng thought for a moment, then tore the corn pancake in his hand into two halves. He handed the largest half to Big Gray's mouth. Big Gray was not polite and directly swallowed it in one gulp.
Unexpectedly, this gulp was too fast, and Big Gray directly choked. Jiang Cheng could not help but be amused by Big Gray's choking appearance.
He hurriedly took out a water bottle and fed it to Big Gray.
After drinking half a bottle of water, Big Gray no longer choked and instantly felt refreshed. It sat next to Jiang Cheng and licked his face.
This scene was seen by the girls from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. One of them, who had pimples on her face, smiled at Jiang Cheng and said, "Leader, your dog is really obedient. It's so understanding and even knows how to flatter you."
Jiang Cheng smiled and did not speak, but Mu Ping, who was next to him, was unhappy. What he disliked the most was people calling his Big Gray a dog.
He said loudly, "Our Big Gray is not a dog. It's a wolf!"
"Hiss!" There was a gasp.
The men and women from the Chinese Academy of Sciences were frightened. They had never thought that Big Gray would actually be a wolf, and that it had been by their side for so long. No wonder when some of them wanted to play with Big Gray, Big Gray ignored them and only followed by Jiang Cheng and Mu Ping's side.
Now, this group of talented students finally understood that this was a wolf. The personality of a wolf was completely different from that of a dog, but they, who claimed to be biologists, did not realize this. They had all treated Big Gray as a dog. It was really a big joke.
The group of special police officers were also shocked by Jiang Cheng's words. At this time, they carefully observed Big Gray beside Jiang Cheng and found that it really looked different from a dog.
On such a hot day, a dog's mouth would definitely open and its tongue would definitely come out to dissipate heat. However, Big Gray did not. Along the way, its mouth had been tightly closed. At first, no one had noticed, but now that they looked at it, they realized that there were many things wrong.
Big Gray's ears were triangular, and its tail was clamped. It looked very stiff, and there was a fierce and melancholy in its eyes.
Dogs were not like this. Most dogs' ears were round, and dogs liked to wag their tails at their owners to please them. Moreover, dogs' eyes were very cute and looked very cute.
Through these not so simple comparisons, the SWAT officers found that Big Gray was really a wolf.
This scared them a lot. The dog that had been leading the way for a long time was not a dog, but a wolf. If this had happened to an ordinary person, they would not have dared to believe it. The special police officers could not help but give Jiang Cheng and Mu Ping a thumbs up in their hearts. They thought to themselves, "You two are awesome. You actually raised a wolf like a dog. As expected of heroes."
