America: I came here to study, not to show mercy.

Chapter 60 The Bear is Coming

Sufeil was stunned for a long time. After he came to his senses, he did not answer. He quietly got up and went into his tent.

Her tent was set up right next to her. Li Xiaoen was very surprised at first, but unfortunately Sufei didn't explain anything.

"Damn it, next time I run into those jinxes again, it's better to just follow the main group and walk in front."

Li Xiaoen looked up at the dark night full of stars and couldn't help but curse.

"Sean, thanks to you this time."

A dark shadow walked out from the campfire. It was not until it got closer that Li Xiaoen realized it was the senior who led the hike.

He suddenly sat down next to Li Xiaoen again and handed him the roasted beef on the skewer.

The fire was burning there, and some excited students took the initiative to start a barbecue in an attempt to ease the atmosphere. However, they could not dispel the haze lingering in the entire team - if there was an accident or an animal attack, it meant that this forest was no longer safe.

"What do you want to talk to me about, Senior?"

Li Xiaoen took a look at the shiny grilled skewers and asked with his head tilted.

When it comes to handling crises calmly, the seniors have said it many times before, and now it is obvious that they are no longer talking nonsense.

"Sean, I just made a satellite call."

The senior's face turned serious.

His heartbeat began to accelerate again, and Li Xiaoen frowned: "Did something happen?"

"Does the poacher who held you hostage know about this?"

The senior sat up straight. "They've entered the undeveloped area of ​​this mountain forest and disturbed the bears in the free ecological zone."

"..."

"What do you want me to do?" Li Xiaoen asked after a moment's silence.

"That's right, can you give your stun gun to the students who are going to keep watch with us tonight?"

The senior looked at Li Xiaoen seriously and said, "We don't know where the bear is right now, and the Forestry Bureau said they won't be able to send a rescue team into the mountains to save us until tomorrow morning."

"In such a dangerous situation, they are still going to delay it until tomorrow?" Li Xiaoen couldn't help but exclaimed.

"There's nothing I can do about it. That's just how it is."

The senior spread his hands and forced a relieved smile on his face. "This danger was not caused by us, so we don't have to bear any subsequent expenses."

“Is this what I’m focusing on?”

Li Xiaoen was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He wanted to curse but had to be considerate of the other party. He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Think about it, in this country where every inch of flesh and blood is soaked in the blood of capital, many government departments related to people's livelihood are deeply capitalized.

Calling an ambulance is clearly priced, and the high price forces injured people to force themselves to stop the person who called the ambulance for them. When the fire alarm goes off in the house, the surrounding fire department arrives, and regardless of whether there is an actual fire, they still have to pay the high fee. The wildfires in Los Angeles continue to burn every year, and the government's intervention is minimal...

All the seemingly bizarre things in this country are ultimately related to capital.

Seeing Li Xiaoen's hesitation, the senior student carefully considered and spoke again: "Xiaoen, it's not that we must have your gun, but..."

"No need to say more, Senior."

Li Xiaoen interrupted the other person, turned back into the tent, reached into his backpack, actually took it out from the storage space, and handed the stun gun to the senior.

"Thank you. Don't worry, everyone can sleep well tonight!"

The senior was stunned at first, then nodded quickly, "I'll hand it over to the student who's on guard tonight."

As he spoke, he stood up and only then noticed the skewer of meat still in his hand. He handed it to Li Xiaoen and said, "Xiaoen, just take it."

Li Xiaoen didn't hesitate to take it and bit off a piece of meat. He felt the warm fat bursting in his mouth and his saliva secreted even more.

Sure enough, this cooked food is better than those hard dry food.

Li Xiaoen couldn't help but take a deep breath and sigh, instantly feeling much better. One stun gun had been handed over, but he still had another in his storage, a last-ditch effort he'd prepared before setting off, determined not to surrender it no matter what anyone said.

When I get back and have time, it would be better to go to the shooting club and get a legal gun license, Li Xiaoen thought to himself.

No carbon-based creature can withstand the bullets. If there is, then give it two more.

After quickly swallowing the skewers and rinsing his mouth with some mineral water, Li Xiaoen turned back to the tent, zipped up his tent, and lay down with his hands on his head.

A corner of the night sky came into view above the tent, but Li Xiaoen was not in the mood to appreciate it. This was something he had bought specially before setting off. The top had a hollow layered design, and he could see the sky by pulling down a piece of cloth through a zipper.

I never expected that at this moment I would be so frightened by the unknown danger that was following me like a shadow that I lost interest.

I probably won’t sleep well tonight.

Li Xiaoen sighed, and suddenly a shape poked towards him from the side of the tent and poked it twice signally.

"Sufiel?"

Li Xiaoen frowned. He remembered that this direction was Sufei's tent.

According to the design of the two tents, it was possible to poke him from one side. How good must the ductility of Sufir's tent material be?

"Sean..."

Sufeil's voice was very close to the side of the tent, probably speaking right next to his tent, "Is this forest in danger?"

"Did you hear that?"

Li Xiaoen raised his eyebrows and did not hide it.

There was silence at first, and then when Li Xiaoen turned around, he could hear a long breath, and then he said, "Xiaoen, do you want to chat with me? I can't sleep."

"Take it as a promise?" Li Xiaoen said with a smile.

"Okay." After another period of silence, Sufeil's voice came.

"Well, Miss Sophie, what do you want to talk about?"

Li Xiaoen exhaled, looked at the night sky above and asked with a smile.

"Just chat about anything."

"That's it."

Li Xiaoen muttered to himself. He couldn't sleep anyway in this situation, so it would be nice to have someone to talk to. "Miss Sufeier, do you know that there is an ancient technique in our country of China?"

"What ancient art?" Sufeil on the other side became interested.

"By observing the sky at night and the arrangement of the stars, one can predict what will happen in the future."

Li Xiaoen replied with a serious smile, "The Big Dipper is long, steady, and bright tonight, and the two stars next to it are not flickering, which means that tonight is safe and we can have a good night's sleep."

"When you say this, are you trying to get rid of me and end the conversation?" Sufeil asked from the other side.

Can you still predict?
Li Xiaoen laughed in his heart, "No, I just wanted to comfort you."

"Can you see the sky over there?"

“It cost me $600.”

"Sean...can I come over and take a look?"

Li Xiaoen was stunned when he heard this, staring blankly at the stable side of the tent, unable to react for a moment.

Doesn’t this young lady dislike him?

Li Xiaoen seized the opportunity.

"Then...cancel another promise?"
