Chapter 91

Luo Cai turned to look at the old man after he finished eating the prosciutto in the lunch box.

"Are you going to eat?"

He shakes what's left of the sandwich in the pan.

As a result, the old man shook his head again and again.

"You can eat, you can eat, I... I'm losing weight recently..."

It can be seen that he really dislikes the sandwich made by his wife...

……

"I'm full too."

After thinking about it, Luo put the lid back on the lunch box and put the lunch box back into the old man's backpack.

"Thank you."

"Oh, you're welcome, you're welcome, I'm glad you like my bacon."

The old man waved his hand, took out a bottle of beer from the refrigerator and handed it to Luo.

Naturally, Luo would not be polite, he took the beer and drank it all.

"So...you are from the scientific expedition team?" the old man asked tentatively.

"Huh?" Luo didn't react for a while.

"Some scientific research departments often organize teams to investigate in the depths of the rainforest. You must be lost with your team, right?"

While talking, the old man retracted the fishing line and pulled the hooked fish out of the water.

"Uh, sort of." Luo hesitated for a moment, then nodded.

"Then you are still clever, knowing that you can walk out along this river. You must know that the terrain in this rainforest is very complicated, like a maze. The scientific expedition team that goes in often gets lost. Last year, there was a seven-member The documentary shooting team lost contact collectively, and the police searched for it for a month but failed to find it, and finally nothing happened.”

The old man took the fish that had landed on the bank, took the hook out of the fish's mouth, and threw the fish back into the river.

He looked back at Luo who was sitting on the ground.

Then he stood up and walked to his backpack, took out a windbreaker from the backpack and handed it to Luo.

"Although it's hot, you still have to put on your clothes. It's not wise to be shirtless in the woods. The mosquitoes here are very poisonous."

Luo nodded, and took the windbreaker handed over by the old man.

He knew that the old man was very curious about the many scars on his body, but he was very sensible and didn't ask, so he didn't need to explain anything.

Although the symbiont gave him abnormal regenerative abilities, the wounds after healing still have faint scars, which are much subtler than the scars healed after normal metabolism in the past, but they can still be seen.

For example, the narwhal tattoo on his back that was torn by the claw knife still maintains a broken posture.

A narwhal cut in half...

As for the wounds on his face, there were still faint marks, but the wounds were fine enough, so they were not disfigured, although Luo himself didn't care about them.

……

He is wearing tactical suit pants and military boots on the lower part of his body. Although all firearms and other thermal weapons have been destroyed in the previous battle, his outfit is obviously not what a scientific expedition team should have, but since the old man ignores Luo said that he was a member of the scientific expedition team because of his scars all over his body, so Luo didn't mind being a member of the scientific expedition team.

It can be seen that people who have lived most of their lives still have some eyesight.

The old man knew that he could not doubt or delve into Luo's identity, let alone mention anything like contacting the police.

Because then Luo might make some necessary moves.

……

And if the old man really wanted to call the police, Luo would definitely stop it.

Fortunately, the old man is very wise.

He still put the bait on the hook leisurely, and then threw the hook into the river.

In this case, the old and the young get along very well for the time being.

……

"Should you be Asian? Korean?"

The old man opened a bottle of cold beer and asked Luo.

"China."

Luo replied.

"Then you must be of mixed race. My niece's husband is also Asian, but I don't remember which country he is from. Their son looks similar to you, with black hair and blue eyes."

said the old man.

"That's it."

Luo nodded.

He's not very good at this type of chat.

In other words, he was not good at any type of chatting, especially talking aimlessly with such elders.

If Joe was sitting here, he should be able to have a good chat with the old man, but Luo couldn't.

"You look very young."

The old man didn't seem to notice Luo's helpless expression at all.

"I'm sixteen."

"I really envy you young people, who are full of energy and have so much time to spend." The old man clicked his tongue.

"..."

Luo didn't know how to answer this question at all.

The conversation between the two of them was basically a question from the old man and an answer from Luo.

Extremely stiff.

……

After drinking the beer in his hand, Luo finally didn't feel like spending any more time here.

He asked the old man:

"Do you have communication equipment? Mobile phones and computers are fine."

"Oh, yes, yes, I have a tablet in my backpack." The old man pointed to the backpack on the ground and said.

Luo took out the old man's computer from his backpack.

"But it should not be able to connect to the network signal..."

"..."

Luo, who had just turned on the computer, also noticed this. The signal sign at the top of the screen displayed a yellow exclamation mark.

"It's a bit out of the service area here." The old man stretched his head to look at the computer screen.

"Uh...how about I take you back, if you are in a hurry to contact your friends."

"Then trouble you."

Luo nodded.

He really needs to get out of here as soon as possible.

"No trouble, no trouble, let's clean up."

The old man stood up from the folding chair with great difficulty, and the "oppressed" folding chair could finally take a breath.

Luo helped him take back the fishing rod, stuffed other things into the backpack, and lifted the old man's small portable refrigerator.

"Going this way, my car is parked outside the woods, and I should be able to receive the signal after driving about ten miles."

The old man walked towards a certain path in the woods.

……

After passing through a short forest path, a road close to the edge of the rainforest appeared in front of Luo.

The old man's mountain bike was parked on the side of the road.

He slowly climbed into the driver's seat, and beckoned to Luo for him to get in the car.

……

After the car started, it started to drive along the road towards the distant town.

At this time, the sun in the sky was no longer as soft as it was in the early morning, and the scorching sun burned everything on the asphalt road.

Luo put on the old man's windbreaker. Although he didn't zip it up, he still felt hot and stuffy.

The wind blowing in from the car window is completely billowing heat.

……

Luo looked indifferently at the strange scenery outside the car window.

The old man wanted to say something, but when he saw Luo's appearance, he closed his mouth tactfully.

The car slowly drove away from the vibrant rainforest.
