"Who made the first move, you or the bear?"
With both hands wrapped up, Wu Lin asked Man Zhou: "When did Li Zhao contact you?" He was really curious, "How did you get here so fast?"
"We happen to be in the neighborhood on business." Man Zhou said briefly.
Just in the neighborhood?
Wu Lin was surprised, but when he thought of the Animal control bureau's business trip, which was probably confidential, he suppressed the urge to get to the bottom of the matter.
"It's done." Shuo Xu walks back from the cave, and reports to Man Zhou, "I told Li Zhao that we still need a little more time here, and that we can't go back until later, but he didn't say anything on the intercom, but I think he understands."
Man Zhou nods, and having finished bandaging her hands, she looks down at Wu Lin's feet.
Wu Lin has not had time to put on socks and shoes, foot injuries are equally obvious, but the injuries are much lighter than the hands, after all, when sliding down the blind bear slope feet are still wearing shoes, so the feet are basically behind the scent of the run, by the gravel and thorns, no big deal, but also Ye Wang, the same treatment to the package so serious.
"This is not necessary," afraid of Man Zhou do not believe, Wu Lin stretched his feet to move that called a spirited, "you see, nothing happened."
Ye Wang swept the back of his head lightly, "Don't fool around."
Wu Lin skimmed his lips and took his lively feet back, a good wolf doesn't fight with a tiger.
Man Zhou was completely relieved, and it really didn't seem like much to deal with.
In fact, what made her more relieved was Wu Lin's mentality. Usually, people who just awakened from animalization would have a period of "confusion", during which both physiological and psychological fluctuations would be drastic, and physiological maladaptation to the new body and maladaptation to the new body would aggravate the psychological impact, and this kind of vicious circle would be the biggest headache for them.
But Wu Lin's mental construction may have been completed when Qiran Tao was bestialized, and he was relatively candid when it was his turn.
Wu Lin thought Ye Wang would only bring a few pieces of clothing and a few pairs of socks at most, but it turned out that he even had extra shoes.
The dress is one size larger and the shoes are more than two sizes larger.
Wu Lin lifted his foot to shake Wang's basketball shoes, which is stepping on a boat.
Ye Wang stares at Wu Lin, who is covered head to toe in his own clothes, and really looks at him any way he can, except for the gauze on his hands.
"What the hell happened?" This thing now Ye Wang also do not understand, the mountain to find a person, and not rock climbing, but also can make the hand like this?
Speaking of this, Wu Lin really angry and afraid, afraid that if he did not fall blind bear slope, may really become a black bear dish food, angry Ye Wang, right, he is not angry at the black bears, angry Ye Wang, this guy does not run to the mountains, he will not meet the blind bear!
Ye Wang: "...... Why are you staring at me?"
Wu Lin huffed and puffed and was about to speak when he suddenly realized that Man Zhou and Shuo Xu next to him had taken out their work cell phones, the same ones they had used last time to record their information and sign a confidentiality agreement.
"Want to rerecord the message?" Wu Lin asked.
"Of course," Shuo Xu said, "you were a Beast Informed before, and now you're a Beast Awakened, and all your data has to be updated."
Man Zhou's work system was also logged in, but because it was necessary to adjust Wu Lin's basic information from the "Informed Database" to the "Awakened Database", the two of them operated the system for another half day.
Wu Lin waited for a few moments, suddenly thought of something, and inconvenient to disturb the busy Man Zhou and Shuo Xu, so he came to the sturdy young man next to the whispered politely, "Can I ask what time it is now?"
The youth had been standing like a wooden stake from the moment he entered the cave, and if it weren't for his stature that was really hard to ignore, this one's presence would basically be similar to that of air.
He obviously didn't expect to be suddenly accosted by Wu Lin, and was startled for a moment before he said, "I... I don't have my cell phone with me."
The youth was mid-sentence, but always spoke in a way that made him feel a little nervous, his eyes darting from side to side.
Without asking for the time, Wu Lin had to walk a little further towards the cave entrance, turned a small corner and finally saw the outside of the cave.
The rain had largely stopped, but the sunlight filtering through the gaps in the trees' shadows had also turned a pale golden red.
Dusk, sunset.
Wu Lin turned around, and at some point there was another person behind him, so close that their faces almost brushed.
If it wasn't for the handsome face in front of him, Wu Lin would have felt like his soul would have flown away.
"Do you dare to walk a little louder?" Sooner or later, he'll have to scare Ye Wang to death.
Ye Wang says with a straight face, "All tigers are like that." How can you hunt and catch wolves with sound footsteps?
Wu Lin stared at him in dismay, knowing the catwalk was a big deal: "What are you doing here?"
Ye Wang asked rhetorically, "What are you doing?"
"I'm afraid it will be dark in a while." Wu Lin looked grim.
Returning to the cave, Wu Lin saw that Man Zhou and Shuo Xu had not yet finished, so he voiced out, "Why don't we go back to the cabin first."
Man Zhou looks up and asks, "Are you in a hurry?"
"No," Wu Lin said, "it's almost dark, it's not safe to go back any later, there are bears in these mountains."
Man Zhou froze.
Shuo Xu also stopped the operation on his hand and raised his eyes to look over.
"It's true, I hurt my hand when I met the bear," fearing that they wouldn't believe me, Wu Lin pulled Ye Wang on board, "He met it too, and I found him because I found the marks of the bear attack on him. ...... "
Speaking of traces, Wu Lin recalled with hindsight that there was also a torn jacket of Ye Wang's on the floor with blood on it.
Thinking about this, Wu Lin didn't bother to talk to Man Zhou and Shuo Xu and quickly checked Ye Wang from top to bottom: "Where are you hurt?"
Ye Wang was puzzled: "What injury?"
Wu Lin said, "There's blood on the jacket you left there."
Ye Wang finally made it clear what Wu Lin was talking about, and slapped him on the top of the head with his big hand and pressed, "Listen carefully, I wasn't attacked by a bear, I was fighting with a bear, and I wasn't injured, the one who was injured was the bear."
Wu Lin: "......"
Ye Wang: "Any questions?"
Wu Lin: "Yes."
Ye Wang: "Speak."
Wu Lin: "Who started it, you or the bear?"
The air was quiet for two seconds.
Ye Wang: "It doesn't matter."
Wu Lin, Man Zhou, Shuo Xu: "......"
Well, at least Ye Wang is okay and it ended well, but since we know there's potential danger, we should always take precautions.
Wu Lin turned back to Man Zhou and Shuo Xu, "So we should hurry back before it gets dark."
"Don't worry," Man Zhou gave the robust youth a meaningful look, "there won't be any more 'bears'."
Wu Lin froze.
Ye Wang catches some kind of direction and follows Man Zhou's line of sight, his eyes locking onto the robust young man, fierce and dangerous.
Shuo Xu looked back and forth between Ye Wang and the youth for a few times, decisively sided northeast tiger, toward the sturdy youth said in a serious manner, "I advise you to turn yourself in."
The wound on Wu Lin's hand is still fresh in his mind. If he turns himself in, he will at most be beaten up by the northeast tiger that protects his food, but if the northeast tiger takes the initiative to solve the case, it won't be a matter of beating him up.
Ill-fitting sportswear, soaked hair, from entering the cave has not done any Animal control bureau work, coupled with Man Zhou and Shuo Xu now this subtle attitude and words ...... Wu Lin re-surveys the robust youth, and finally strokes out the general logic.
Ye Wang was more direct: "Don't tell me that bear is you."
The stocky youth was originally weak, and the shadow left by the King of Beasts, this moment let Ye Wang fierce and vicious aura and then pressure, crying heart have: "Not I did it, I stood in the original position and did not dare to move, he did not look at the back, a foot stepped in the air and fell down."
"Fell?" Ye Wang didn't realize there was such a part, and immediately asked Wu Lin, "Where did you fall from?"
"Blind bear slope, and then sliding down well, I want to grab, hand like this ......" let the aura of the full Ye Wang a stare, Wu Lin also a little pressure, the voice is getting smaller and smaller, "the back may be too strong desire for survival I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. ......"
"You mean if you didn't animalize, you'd be done for?" Ye Wang's voice grew deeper.
Wu Lin : "Nor ......"
Ye Wang: "Not what?"
Wu Lin : "...... Yes."
Coyote sneaks a look at the black bear youth, your pot, take it yourself.
Ye Wang slowly looked over at the stocky youth and began to move his wrist joints.
The youth was instantly reminded of the fear of a weak black bear dominated by a human.
"I didn't expect to meet him, I really wasn't doing anything, I was afraid he'd be scared, and I put my hands up-"
Wu Lin: "......"
Shuo Xu frowns, a bear stands upright and raises his hands, who the hell understands that you're surrendering.
" Ye Wang ," Man Zhou opened, "He has only been animalized for a few days, he ran up the mountain in a daze, meeting you and Wu Lin was purely accidental, and he really didn't have any aggressive behavior," she asked Wu Lin . "Right?"
"Uh-huh." This Wu Lin has to admit, "He was just standing there not moving, and I slowly backed up to try to sneak away, and my foot slipped ......"
"He animalized four days ago, and has been in a 'chaotic period' since then, so he came to the mountains in a daze," Man Zhou simply laid it all out, "We came here to look for him, and we didn't expect you and Ye Wang to be here, and even awakened one. We didn't expect you and Ye Wang to be here, and even awakened one."
At this point, Man Zhou suddenly stopped and looked at Ye Wang a bit uneasily, "Are you sure you haven't awakened?"
Ye Wang was silent for a moment and suddenly asked Wu Lin, "You awakened that what's-it-all slope again, where is it?"
Wu Lin was instantly alert: "What are you doing?"
"Try it." Ye Wang said in a natural way.
Wu Lin grinds his teeth, "Don't even think about it."
Man Zhou, Shuo Xu :"...... "This guy is so obsessed with awakening!
Although the bear caused Wu Lin to fall, it also contributed to Wu Lin's bestialization, and with the help of the Animal control bureau, Ye Wang eventually let him go.
The black bear youth admired the wisdom of his old ancestors heartily in the gradually easing atmosphere.
Bears are bigger and more powerful than tigers, so why has the tiger always been the king of beasts? There is a profound reason for that.
Wu Lin's Awakening information entry has finally begun.
The cave was thrown into an intense rush.
Ye Wang sat on the ground next to him, and the young black bear moved around, eventually settling in a place that was a Pacific Ocean away from the northeast tiger.
Shuo Xu worked mainly on the first half, and once that was done, the rest was left to Man Zhou.
When Ye Wang saw that he was idle, his "desire to know" immediately came on line: "Why did Wu Lin become animalized?"
"That's hard to say," Shuo Xu scratches his head, "It could have something to do with blood, or it could be that when pushed to the breaking point, the bestiality gene awakens."
Ye Wang was speechless, "Saying it is the same as not saying it."
Shuo Xu sighed, wanted to pat his shoulder, suddenly recalled his earlier fierce aura, just raised his hand and decisively put it down: "classmates, have you ever heard of 'wanting to be fast, but can't do it', some things the more you want to be, the less easy it is to be, maybe one day you don't want to be, but instead, it will come. "
Ye Wang frowns, "I don't even want to, what's the point of coming?"
Shuo Xu: "......" can not refute for a moment.
Inadvertently seeing the black bear youth, Ye Wang suddenly thought of another thing: "You'd better improve your efficiency in the future, like him, is lucky to meet me, if he met a bad guy, directly kill him as a bear, is he wronged?"
Shuo Xu doesn't know whether to complain about the definition of "good fortune" or Ye Wang's gross misunderstanding of his own position by distinguishing himself from the "bad guys".
"This piece of mountain forest will soon be a nature reserve," "The number of animalized people is gradually increasing, Ye Wang can think of things, Animal control bureau of course also thought of," "Animal control bureau fixed-point area," "The animalized awakened people can come over to spend the chaotic period or experience the animalized life, want to stay like Qiran Tao, don't want to go home and live. Animalization awakened people can come over to spend the chaotic period or experience the animalized life, those who want to stay like Qiran Tao, those who don't want to go home and continue their lives, as long as they strictly abide by the confidentiality agreement, don't make a mess on the line. ......"
Shuo Xu lifted his head and looked at the stone wall illuminated by the firelight, but his gaze drifted far away.
"There will be more and more protected areas like this in the future."
The black bear youth didn't dare to interrupt until he watched the two of them finish talking, then he whispered to Shuo Xu, "Uh, it might be a little late for me to say this ......"
Shuo Xu was puzzled, "What?"
"It's just that," the black bear youth moved a little closer to Shuo Xu, "I have a feeling that there might still be beastizers in this mountain."
"And?" Shuo Xu immediately straightened up, "Be specific."
"It's a silver-gray wolf," the black bear youth said, "not in this area, in another forest, I met it when I first came into the mountains, and its eyes are different from ordinary animals, the kind that smells like people you know... ..."
Shuo Xu knows too much.
"That one is indeed an Awakened, the information is already in the database."
Ye Wang listened quietly, knowing they were talking about Qiran Tao.
But already in another forest?
Looking over at Wu Lin, who was still recording his message and not paying attention to the conversation, Ye Wang wondered if he should tell him about the situation.
Or, to put it more bluntly, whether to tell Li Zhao.
Will Li Zhao wait any longer for a wolf that is getting farther and farther away from home - if the cabin is home?
Man Zhou finally finished recording the message of "Wu Lin" and wrapped up cleanly.
Wu Lin is aghast: "You don't have to record 'Wolf'?"
He remembered that Qiran Tao had recorded two pieces of information before and after the animalization, the tundra wolf's appearance, irises, howling voiceprints, and so on.
Man Zhou asked, "How do you record like this now?"
Wu Lin looks down at the gauze on his hand, "Uh, it shouldn't be too much of a problem to turn back into a wolf like this ......"
Man Zhou put away her cell phone, the relief of being off duty made her speak with a rare flirtation, "This has been following you around longer than an ID photo, are you sure you want to enter it now?"
More years than an ID photo as a shadow?
A coyote with two paws wrapped in gauze?
Wu Lin shook his head vigorously, and could not have been more adamant than he was at this moment, "No more recordings."
Man Zhou guffawed, "Don't worry, when you're healed, Shuo Xu and I will find you as soon as possible to complete the follow-up entry."
The moon and stars are thin, and the mountains have a different kind of silence and freshness after the rain.
Man Zhou and Shuo Xu dropped the two men off at a cedar thicket a hundred meters from the cabin, called Li Zhao to let him know, and left with the black bear youth.
