Every day is one step closer to reality

【Read. 】

The fact that it was a hot search topic had little impact on Feng Yi, and with so many things happening every day, not many people would pay attention to it soon. As a team between him and Steve, there was no media following, no exposure, and there wouldn't be many topics in the future.

After Feng Yi finished reading these videos, pictures and netizens’ comments, the hot searches changed.

When Feng Chi sent him the link, the screenshot showed that the topic "Brother Snake" was the top one. When Feng Yi looked through the message and clicked the link, the topic "Brother Snake" had dropped to the tenth most popular topic. I waited until I finished reading various contents before refreshing, and several more were dropped.

This is only because it is night in China and many topics have not been discussed, so the topic can reach this position and be retained for a little longer. Otherwise, even if it rushes to the front, it will soon be suppressed by other topics.

For Feng Yi, it doesn't matter whether there are many topics or whether the discussion is hot or not. He doesn't want to be a star now. If he has time to pay attention to the ranking of topics, it would be better to catch more pythons.

Therefore, Feng Yi's reaction to this matter was relatively dull.

It is now two or three in the morning in China. Just like last time, Feng Yi sent a message and the other party responded immediately.

Feng Chi attended a banquet and returned home around 1 a.m., watching videos and playing games on his mobile phone. He also went to the family chat group to show off his persona of "who only loves to eat, drink, have fun, and has no future prospects." He yawned and was about to take a bath and go to bed. , after receiving Feng Yi’s message, he immediately became energetic again.

Knowing that Feng Yi was currently resting, Feng Chi asked him about the python hunting activities and how many pythons he had caught.

Feng Yi briefly talked to him and took a photo of the bag containing the snake to show Feng Chi.

While Feng Yi was chatting with Feng Chi, not far ahead, a crocodile lurking under the water surfaced to breathe. At the same time, it might also be observing them, but it seemed that there was no danger, and there was no subsequent threatening behavior when it came close. Just ignored it.

Steve also saw it, "It's an alligator. They may lie dormant in the water for a long time before emerging to breathe. The unique lung structure allows them to control their buoyancy, quickly complete ups and downs, and flexibly move. Move. Genius diver, fearsome killer."

While talking, another alligator surfaced.

Steve and Warren were very calm when they saw the alligators. They knew the habits of these alligators. Under the current situation, as long as they don't get too close, they generally won't pay attention.

Warren took out the boat's spare oars in case of emergency.

Old Josh's boat is equipped with a life raft and a paddle. The life raft is not used much. The paddle is used more frequently here. It can not only row and fish, but also attack and shoot crocodiles. This Warren Ripe.

They are still some distance away from the place where the crocodile lurks. Although the surroundings of the boat look very quiet, they will not relax their vigilance when they rest. There are a lot of surprises in the swamp, and it's always good to be careful.

But looking at the situation in front of them, the crocodiles lurking in the water were not interested in them.

Feng Yi took a photo and sent it to Feng Chi.

Feng Chi quickly replied:

[You guys are taking a break now. Is it convenient for you to video chat? I want to see crocodiles! 】

In fact, some video platforms have special topics on python hunting activities, and there are also live broadcasts where crocodiles appear. Some anchors even film them at close range in order to gain popularity. However, Feng Chi didn't like it. The yelling and chirping were too noisy, so he took one look and stopped looking.

Feng Yi asked Steve if it was convenient to have video calls with people here, and Steve said it wouldn't matter. They were going to rest for a while anyway.

Steve saw that Feng Yi was in good condition. Even when catching snakes in the bright sun, he didn't even break a sweat. After driving long distances and catching snakes several times along the way, he still had the energy to video chat with people, so he sighed: "Hey, I'm older now. It's not like when I was 20 years old, I was full of energy even after running outside all day."

Steve then looked at Feng Yi and added: "When I was young, I was just like you."

Feng Yi smiled and said, "You are now in your prime, and you can kill a four-meter python by yourself! I look relaxed because you spend most of your time on the boat and don't move much. In fact, your body is also tired, just like traveling for a long time. Whether you are flying or taking a train, you will always feel tired after a long time. As for me not sweating, you know, when I walked in the woods for a day in July or August during the scientific examination, I didn’t sweat much and it wasn’t easy to tan. , physical reasons. I just want to get a tan."

Steve remembered what happened during the scientific examination and smiled, "Yeah, I almost forgot about your kid's physique. Professor Zhou even thought it was amazing. He doesn't even get a tan even if he doesn't sweat!"

At that time, after the scientific examination, everyone was several degrees darker, except for Feng Yi, who was extremely white. Although this kind of whiteness is compared with them and cannot be compared with other white-skinned people, it is still obvious enough and it is completely invisible that he has been running in the mountains and forests for a month or two.

People are really different.

Steve put on his hat. It was very windy when the boat started, so he didn't wear it, so he put it on his head now.

Feng Yi put on his Bluetooth headset and followed Feng Chi's video. He adjusted the focus of the camera and zoomed in on the alligator that popped up not far away.

The phone's high-fidelity display shows the alligator's wide face.

Feng Chi sighed: "No matter how many times I see it, I still think this is what a prehistoric creature looks like. How cool!"

At this time, the two crocodiles over there had a little conflict and started fighting with their mouths open.

Feng Chi lazily leaned on the sofa and looked at his phone, "These two look a bit big."

Feng Yi: "They all look like more than two meters. One of them will be a little bigger, but not more than three meters. It's not particularly big. There is a four-meter one at the research center and I sent you a photo."

Feng Chi: "The ones in captivity cannot be compared with those in the wild. I just think the ones in the wild are more wild! More domineering! I just like this kind! It's just that the teeth make me uncomfortable. I can't wait to find a dentist to straighten them."

Feng Yi: "..."

Just as he was talking, another crocodile emerged from the water. It was larger than the previous two, estimated to be four meters in length, and it was approaching Feng Yi's boat.

Feng Chi couldn't help but sit up, his eyes fixed on the phone screen, his voice tight, "Brother, is it coming towards you? You seem to be too close..."

Warren, who also spotted the big alligator: "Oh my God!"

Feng Chi: "My brother, ah ah ah ah, it's coming!"

At night in China, Feng Chi howls louder than the dog next door in his own home.

Feng Yi: "...Don't worry, we're still a little far away."

As he spoke, he adjusted the camera zoom, and the picture returned to normal, no longer the enlarged crocodile face.

It can be seen that there is still some distance, the wind has stopped howling, but it is still nervous.

Feng Yi stared at the crocodile. He was not nervous. Firstly, it did not enter Feng Yi's warning range. Secondly, he did not feel the alligator's strong intention to attack. Moreover, at such a distance, Warren could just drive away by boat.

The big alligator continued to get closer to Feng Yi and the others, then quickly turned around and ran towards the forest, then dived into the water and disappeared.

Both Steve and Warren breathed a sigh of relief. If the crocodile came even one meter closer, they would start the boat and leave.

On the other side of the phone, Feng Chi touched his little heart that was so scared that it almost jumped out of his chest. After a while, he trembled and said, "Brother! Florida is too dangerous. You should come back!"

"No, I quite like my current job. It's not as dangerous as you think." Feng Yi said.

"But it was indeed too close just now! Aren't you afraid? If it were me, I would probably just drive away as fast as it appeared when it appeared, and while running away, I would check to see if there were any crocodiles chasing after it!"

"Didn't you think they were cool just now? What do you like?" Feng Yi asked.

"My love is based on a safe distance!"

"The alligator's temper will be milder. It was probably just curious and testing, and its intention to attack was not that strong," Feng Yi said.

"The Bungara also has a gentle temper! Can you make everyone not afraid of it? Danger is danger, it has nothing to do with its temper! Only you people can be so calm!"

In fact, contrary to what Feng Chi said, Steve and Warren were worried just now and were paying attention to their surroundings except for the big crocodile. Warren was about to let Feng Yi and Steve sit down, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he would sail away.

"I just don't know why the crocodile turned around and ran away. Maybe it found that it couldn't be dealt with after getting close, so it ran away?" Warren said, "With this size, it can occupy a large area. It can also eat its own kind when it is hungry."

Although there are no crocodiles attacking them, there are many crocodiles here, and there are also large ones. It is too dangerous, so it is best to leave as soon as possible.

Next, continue sailing along the planned route. After completing all the routes planned in the first step, it will be dark when we return.

On the way back to the residential area, I met another boat docked on the shore. There were five people on the boat, one of whom knew Steve.

They were catching a python, and they saw it by chance on their way back, so they stopped here.

"Need help?" Steve called.

"Steve? We can handle it...but you can help if you want. It's not easy to catch a big snake," the person over there replied.

Of course Steve is willing!

Big snake!

After letting Warren dock, Steve jumped off the boat and walked over there. He took two steps and turned back to Feng Yi: "You don't have to go there."

It was already very dark at this time, and everyone on the boat had their lights on, but their attention was on catching the snake.

In this area near the shore, the water is not too deep, just above the knees, and there is more grass.

The smell of steam and plants excited him.

After Steve passed by, Feng Yi got off the boat, but didn't move over there.

Under water, my feet stepped in the mud

Cool!

After stepping on the mud, I stepped on the wet grass on the shore.

So damn cool!

I felt something change in my feet in the boots, my tail was restless, ready to move, eager to try, and it looked like I wanted to come out.

But no!

I can’t even think about it anymore!

I can only feel it from afar!

Feng Yi pushed back the slight change in his feet in the boots.

When Steve came back, there was a little disappointment on his face. The "big snake" was only about three meters, less than four meters, which did not meet his psychological expectations.

Seeing Feng Yi like this, Steve smiled and said, "I asked you not to get off the boat. Look, your pants and shoes are wet. Are you uncomfortable?"

"It's... not bad."

After the people on the other boat caught the snake, they were about to continue their return journey. Someone saw the cloth bags on Feng Yi's boat and said, "Is this your harvest today? Not bad! Seven bags, seven snakes? We only caught them today. Two.”

Steve replied: "This kid caught it all by himself. Originally, our plan today was just to check the route and get familiar with the environment, and we didn't want to catch snakes. But Feng Yi is very good at finding snakes, so he caught seven of them easily. But it’s not big.”

"...Awesome! A good start, very good."

After speaking, the two boats returned to the residential area and delivered the pythons caught today to the designated location. Tomorrow, they can find out some basic data such as the length and weight of each snake, as well as the corresponding remuneration.

Feng Yi and Steve returned to the hotel.

Tomorrow's itinerary has been decided on the way back. Needless to say, Steve said: "Go back and have a good rest first. Your shoes may not be easy to dry. Have you brought spare shoes?"

"Bring it."

"Okay, go back and take a shower and change into clean clothes. Or, there is a bathtub in the hotel. Go take a bath and find someone to massage you to relieve your physical fatigue."

Separating from Steve, Feng Yi met Director He in the elevator when he went upstairs.

Director He knew that Feng Yi and Steve's plan today was not to catch snakes, so he didn't ask about the situation of catching the python first, but asked: "Is it hard? Your trouser legs are all wet."

"fine."

Director He didn't look like Feng Yi was forcing himself. On the contrary, the boy seemed to be in a good mood.

"Did you see a python today?"

"seen."

"How many did you see?"

"Seven."

"...So many? How many did you catch?"

"They're all caught. They just came back from delivery. But they're not big."

"Very good, very good. Your results today are quite good!" Director He said with satisfaction.

While talking, Feng Yi's floor arrived. He said goodbye to Director He and walked out of the elevator.

"etc!"

Director He stopped him and walked out, pointing to Feng Yi's feet, "Where did you go today? Are your shoes worn out?"

The shoes that Feng Yi was wearing seemed to be made of very particular materials, and they were not of inferior quality at first glance. However, they were unglued and thread-free at this moment. I didn't pay attention when I was standing in the elevator, and I found out that the shoes were open when I walked around.

Feng Yi looked at his feet, "I haven't walked a lot, and I'm almost all on the boat. These shoes may be a bit unsuitable for the local environment."

Director He: "...You go back and rest early."

Director He thought to himself: Did Steve take the newcomer to some strange place again?

Feng Yi returned to the hotel room and took off his boots.

The socks are torn and the shoes are torn.

I wore out a pair of shoes on the first day of the event. It’s still a month away, what should I do?

When he was at home, the housekeeper told him to prepare two extra pairs of shoes for him. Feng Yi thought that the housekeeper was just worried that he was catching pythons in Florida. It was understandable that the shoes would be worn out because of the many places he walked and they would break easily.

Even if the shoes are of good quality, there is no guarantee that they will survive a month-long trip to the swamp.

So the butler prepared two pairs of spare boots for him, including the pair that Feng Yi is wearing now. The three pairs of boots were all customized by the butler. They seemed to be made of some new type of synthetic bionic leather. They were not only strong, waterproof, but also extremely comfortable. It was nice and not tiring to wear, so Feng Yi brought them all.

Originally, he thought that even if he walked a lot, he wouldn't be in the water every day, so he would wear out a pair of boots, and he wouldn't deliberately run those difficult roads.

Now it seems that he was naive! The butler is extremely foresighted!

His tail is restless!

In an environment I like, I want to run out all the time!

Fortunately, Feng Yi had already strengthened his control over it and would not expose it to outsiders. When he was most excited, something would change inside his boots and some of his scales would show.

Just too useless boots.

As I was coding, I realized, hey, it’s timed out!
