Anchor with goods, the price of F2 is very reasonable, right?

Chapter 814 Major Situation
"Don't worry, I'm only using this for personal research and I will never show it to anyone else."

Xiao Zhang nodded in agreement. Since it was Professor Wang who brought them, he believed that they would keep their promise.

Wang Yang carefully observed the beast; it did indeed look like a pig, but it didn't seem to be entirely one.

“I’ve seen pictures of this beast before, and it didn’t seem this big.”

"You're right. It was originally small, but our lab fed it until it became plump and healthy. At first, it wouldn't eat anything we offered, but guess what it started eating?"

Wang Yang pondered for a moment: "These kinds of wild animals usually eat meat, right?"

“That’s what we thought too. We’ve tried all kinds of meat, but it just won’t eat them. We were really worried it would starve to death, and the research results weren’t out yet. We never expected it to only eat white steamed buns.”

Hearing this, Wang Yang couldn't help but laugh. He looked at the enormous beast and was surprised to find that it was a vegetarian.

"To be honest, this really surprised everyone in our lab. If we weren't forbidden from revealing this information, I would have loved to write a report to let the whole world know that there are still herbivorous beasts in the world."

Hearing this, Wang Yang felt even more suspicious. Like that flower, although he couldn't quite put his finger on what was strange about it, something just felt off.

"Have you come to any results from your research? What species is this beast? Or have you found any related clues?"

"To be honest, with our current level of technology, we can study almost anything, even trace our ancestors back several generations. But this beast is very special. We still can't find its origin, as if it appeared out of thin air."

It seems the situation is exactly the same as with that flower. Uncle Wen gave the flower to his friend before, and the friend said the same thing.

It is truly puzzling that no other species belonging to the same family as this flower can be found.

"Do you think it could be because of that forest?"

"That's hard to say. You see, that forest is quite open. Where did this beast hide before? Before those people went there, several groups of tourists had already been there."

Wang Yang nodded in agreement. Xiao Zhang was right. Before Shen Qiang sent people there, many tourists had already visited that forest, but the wild beast had never appeared, and no one had ever found any trace of it.

"So I find it particularly strange. I'm very curious to know where this beast was hiding before. It's even more unlikely that it came from the desert."

The desert area is deserted and uninhabited, and now that surveillance cameras have been installed in the desert, this wild beast has never been captured on camera.

"By the way, there are cameras in the desert, but aren't there any in the forest?"

"We also installed surveillance cameras in the forest, but we still haven't found the beast. We don't know where it came from. We've reviewed a lot of surveillance footage, but we still haven't found any clues."

Since the matter did not endanger public safety, it was eventually dropped. But both incidents sounded strange to Wang Yang.

"Alright, it's almost time to start work. If you've finished reading, I'll take you out now. We'll start the formal procedures at nine o'clock."

"Okay, we've finished watching it. Thank you so much."

After leaving the lab, Wang Yang stared at the photos on his phone, but he couldn't see anything special about the beast.

"So, have you noticed anything?"

"No. But from Xiao Zhang's description, I find something strange. You see, forests and deserts are both quite open areas. So where was it hidden before?"

He simply couldn't figure out where the beast was hiding. "Yes, I was confused when I heard that too. They still haven't found the answer. After the beast appeared, they even tried to see if there were any other of its kind."

At that time, both their laboratory and the laboratory in Haicheng sent a large number of people to investigate, hoping to find the former habitat of this beast and discover other species.

They found nothing. The beast seemed to have appeared out of thin air, which was truly perplexing.

"Do you think this might be related to the Peach Blossom Spring? I think the Peach Blossom Spring is very likely in that forest."

"If it is really in the forest, where is it hidden? The forest is vast, unlike the towering buildings of the city where people can hide."

In a city high-rise, there might be some secret passages or mechanisms, but apart from underground spaces, there's really nothing else suspicious in this forest.

"Did you find anything unusual when you were surveying the maps? Or is it possible that people live underground?"

"We examined the map carefully; there's nothing special about it except for the peculiar shapes of the flowers, which are as unusual as this beast. But we found nothing else. Besides, could anyone really live underground?"

Experts have thoroughly investigated the underground structure and found nothing but soil, so the possibility of it being hidden underground can be largely ruled out.

"This is truly puzzling."

Wang Yang couldn't help but sigh, this Peach Blossom Spring was too mysterious, as if it was always lurking around them, yet nowhere to be found.

"Don't overthink it. Didn't you want to find Shen Qiang's daughter first? This lead should be easier to follow. Why don't we start with this?"

Wang Yang nodded in agreement. It seemed this lead was progressing faster. If they could find Shen Qiang's daughter, even if they discovered Peach Blossom Spring first, they would have leverage in negotiations.

A moment later, the two returned to their residence. It was the weekend, and when Qin Wanwan got up, she found that Wang Yang was not there, nor was Wang Chunfang, so she guessed that they had gone out to run errands.

"You're back. Oh, why didn't Auntie come back with you?"

"She has an important meeting to attend and probably won't be back for the next few days. Do you always get up this early on weekends?"

Wang Yang glanced at the time; it was just past eight o'clock, not yet nine.

"I haven't been sleeping well lately, and I always wake up very early in the morning."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang felt a pang of pity. Yesterday, Wang Lan had told him that Qin Wanwan had been unable to eat or sleep these past few days because she was worried about his safety.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry you've suffered these past few days. But don't worry, I'll be staying in Beicheng for a while after I come back."

Qin Wanwan looked at Wang Yang with a smile; she had never blamed him. She understood that Wang Yang wasn't out sightseeing, but rather had important business to attend to.

"I have never complained about you. I just hate that I am not capable enough to share your burdens. If I could help, perhaps I could stay by your side more often."

"Why do you say that? You have helped me a lot. If it weren't for you, how could the company have developed so smoothly? I could be working hard without any worries."

During his absence, he never heard of any major issues at the company. If he had to rush back for an emergency, it would inevitably disrupt the plans there. All of this was thanks to Qin Wanwan.

"Actually, I didn't get involved in company affairs much; I mainly relied on my aunt's assistance. I also found it difficult to make many important decisions. As you know, although I've always wanted to be the general manager, I only realized how difficult this position was after I actually took it on."
