No matter how bright the sun is in the equator, it needs to be drilled hard from the dense branches and leaves of tropical trees.The moisture content is high here, with water droplets hanging from the spiky leaves, and the air smells of damp.

It is not the first time for Qiao Mai to come to the tropical rainforest, but no matter how many times he comes, he will still be overwhelmed by the wonders of nature.Under the arbor on the top floor, there are three to four layers of vegetation, which are colorful and bright that are not found in other natural areas.Coiled vines weave their way up and weave along strange plank roots.

Two centuries ago, a humane revolution took place amidst the extreme development of technology and the collapse of population.The federations moved humans out of uninhabitable places such as rain forests, deserts, and mountains, and established large-scale nature reserves.

Just when this piece of rainforest on the southeastern coast of Mexico was devastated by humans, the Humanitarian Revolution made it survive, and it has long since returned to life.

Because the vegetation on the way was too dense, they had to use the Pioneer 947 to clear a barely passable road.This is the latest development from Palenque that outperforms its predecessor.

Still, it was hard and difficult to move forward, causing Tom to complain:

"Can't we just fly there with an aircraft? Did those scientists invent the aircraft just for military exercises?"

As he spoke, he chopped off the branches blocking the way with the blue light dagger.

Qiao Mai followed and explained:

"This is a nature reserve in the Commonwealth of America, which is one of the strictest no-fly zones in the world. You come here with an aircraft, and all the navigation fails. Before you can find your way, the FFI-97 fighter jet is already following you behind the ass."

"That's right, that's true." Takano took over his words with a smile, "So even though our equipment is getting more and more advanced, we still have to walk there in the most primitive way."

Qiao Mai looked proudly at Rogers beside him, as if showing off to him.Rogers thought about it and thought that children should still focus on encouragement:

"Yes, I thought you only knew the tissue structure of human muscles."

Hearing Rogers' unidentified compliments, Qiao Mai made an insatiable move and stuck to his face: "Blake! I have a very deep understanding of skeletal muscles. If you are interested, I can explain it to you in detail tonight! I just don't know if you are willing or not. Provide teaching aids hehehehehehehe..."

Rogers was speechless, apparently he underestimated the thickness of Qiao Mai's skin.He pushed Qiao Mai's head away: "Don't call me black!"

"Who called me just now?" Black, who was in the middle of the team, squeezed over.

"... none of your business!" Rogers' head was dilated.

Three hours later, everyone found a small clearing in the forest and took a rest.Rogers leaned against a tree to organize his weapons, while Qiao Mai took Qiao Hai and disappeared.According to himself: "I will accompany my uncle to pee pee!"

When the two uncles and nephews of Qiao Hai finally came back, Montezuma stood up and clapped his hands twice to attract everyone's attention:

"As far as I know, the ancient Mayan city we are looking for this time has only been visited once 24 years ago."

"Yes, sir." Li Yongzhu pushed his glasses, and said with a little embarrassment, "But there were only two people who got the coordinates back then, and it was because the electromagnetic interference was not so strict that they were able to locate them, but none of them were among us. .”

"Don't worry about the coordinates, I have already bought it from the famous naturalist Mr. Joe at a high price. I also wanted to ask him to assist me in my expedition, but unfortunately I was rejected."

Hearing this, the scholars of the expedition looked at each other a few times, feeling a little uneasy and a little fortunate.

Montezuma looked around at them and continued: "Joe told me it was too dangerous there. Your captain at the time died during the second expedition."

"Yes, yes. That's why we didn't make this news public because we were worried that more people would die." Li Yongzhu stammered.

"However, I don't care about danger, and I don't care about money." Montezuma emphasized, "The situation in the rainforest has changed a lot in the past 20 years, and I hope you can use your abilities to lead me to find the ancient city.

"It's still on the outskirts of the rainforest, and the conditions are not so difficult. I hope everyone can try their best to get on the road and win more protection for future expeditions. After this rest, we will keep on going, with only one rest in the middle, and strive to finish before dark." Arrive at Naturalist Habitat."

Angela protested: "One time? No, I won't be able to take it! Naturalists don't have the same physical strength as those mercenaries."

Montezuma frowned: "I don't accept any protest, Miss Angela. If you really can't walk anymore, I can carry you behind my back."

Angela opened her mouth, her cheeks blushed, and finally said nothing.After Montezuma informed these things, he went aside to talk with Qiao Hai.

Qiao Mai leaned on Rogers' arm, seeing Angela's amorous appearance, suddenly let out a short laugh, thinking of something.

While Montezuma wasn't paying attention, Martin suddenly said, "Hey, I really don't understand you people who study literature. You obviously earn more than me, live better than me, and are respected. Why do you have to come to this kind of place to suffer? .”

Takano smiled with a good temper: "I don't want to either! But this is my mission as a humanities scholar, in order to make up for the evil consequences caused by the 'collapse of civilization'."

"I just know that the 'Great Collapse of Civilization' is a very serious disaster, but I don't know its specific circumstances." Cohen, who rarely spoke along the way, asked suddenly.

He has the typical blond hair and blue eyes of a Californian Caucasian, and because he doesn't speak often, Qiao Mai thought he was an introvert.But when he opened his mouth, the sunny and cheerful breath came to his face again.

"This is a very complicated story..." Gao Lingyun looked disappointed.

"Then you can make a long story short." Qiao Mai interrupted him with a playful smile.

"...In the 26th century, a robot accidentally acquired intelligence. In order to destroy human beings and rule the earth, it destroyed all the data recorded in the database, which almost interrupted human civilization. It is called the 'civilization collapse' in history." Gao Lingyun His voice was dry, as if he was disappointed that someone had killed his chance to tell a story.

"This will cause an interruption of civilization?" Cohen was puzzled, the two thin lines between his brows looked extremely cute, "It's just some information, not to mention we still have books..."

Takano sighed: "Most of the books in the library today are compiled after the 'collapse of civilization'. However, even if scholars contribute their own books, naturalists go on adventures desperately, and scientists keep recalling and studying those formulas and theorems day and night, Some things are still gone forever, never to be found again..."

Gao Lingyun added: "Because technology is too developed, human beings gave up heavy books, stored all their knowledge in computers, and recycled paper. After the 'Civilization Fall', even the simplest dictionaries were lost. "

"So, we naturalists have to collect, research, and complete civilization again. We travel around, collecting animals and plants, studying customs, and looking for ancient relics... This is our mission and our hobby !" Li Yongzhu was impassioned, his flat face was flushed red, and his small eyes gleamed, "We don't just study humanities, we need to learn all useful knowledge, so we can be called 'naturalists'!"

The other scholars were deeply moved after hearing his words, and all of them showed expressions of pride and satisfaction, which made the mercenaries a little admired.

Qiao Mai, however, looked lazy, caressing the muscle lines of Rogers' arm casually: "That's really amazing, so when was the last time you went out for an inspection in person? Tell us about it?"

The scholars were startled and looked embarrassed, but no one dared to answer his question.

Qiao Mai yawned, unable to lift his spirits, and shouted loudly:

"Let's go, let's go! If you continue to rest, I'm going to fall asleep!!"

Before seven o'clock, everyone arrived at the campsite. There are often naturalists here to explore, so the facilities are fairly complete.

They were the only expedition team stationed at the campsite. After a simple dinner, everyone went into their tents to rest.The days when tents can be used are getting less and less, and Qiao Mai thinks it's better to cherish them.

Of course, still with Rogers!indivual!sleep!bag!

In the middle of the night, Rogers woke up immediately when he felt Qiao Mai's struggle in his chest, but Qiao Mai was still trapped in a dream, writhing uneasily.

Rogers turned on the light, wondering if he should wake him.

"mom!"

When he was hesitating, Qiao Mai was startled suddenly, his chest heaved violently, and tears fell down in an instant.

He stared at the bewildered Rogers with red eyes for three seconds, pushed him away and was about to get out of the sleeping bag, but Rogers pushed him back.

Rogers held Qiu Mai's waist with one hand, and lightly rubbed the back of Qiu Mai's neck with the other hand, holding him to his chest, as if comforting an angry lion cub.

"Can't sleep? Let me sing you a song."

Rogers' warm breath brushed over Qiao Mai's head, and was expelled by the air circulation system of the air sleeping bag.

His voice was low and mellow, like a glass of old wine, humming a song with a weird melody.

Qiao Mai lay on Rogers' broad chest, rising and falling with his breathing, listening to the song in the dark night, and slowly settled down.He read it after him:

"The rainy season is coming, and the rainy season is gone. The little lion on the grassland has grown up. The leaves are turning yellow and green, and the little wildebeest on the grassland has grown up..."

Rogers stopped and asked him, "What? The lyrics?"

Qiao Mai laughed, and poked his chin on Rogers' chest to look at him: "You still sing without knowing what it means?"

Rogers said lightly: "My mother sang this song to me when I couldn't sleep when I was young. I heard it is a folk song from my hometown, but I don't know what it means."

"It's Amharic." Qiao Mai raised a hand and grabbed Rogers' earlobe, but Rogers didn't stop him, "Did you know? After the 'Civilization Is Falling', the language is the fastest recovery except maps. "

"Oh?"

"The map recovers quickly because of the satellite, but the language is because human beings are afraid of being alone, and they need to communicate too much."

"Well." Rogers responded perfunctorily, and began to sing again.

Qiao Mai felt the elastic muscles of the pressed body, and gradually fell asleep, dreamless all night.

The author has something to say:
