Chapter 436 Beetles and the Cycle of Life

On the mountain road far away from the city center, amid the rumble of sports cars.

"Hey, Professor Shen, I'm Feng Yi. I'm disturbing your rest at this time. You haven't slept yet... There's something. I was playing outside with my friends and accidentally caught a beetle. I told you last time It looks very similar to the beetle that hasn't been seen in Anjo for a long time. I took photos and videos and sent them to you, so you can see if they are right."

About three minutes later, the call came over.

Based on the videos and photos taken by Feng Yi, Professor Shen almost determined the species of the beetle, and his tone was particularly exciting:

"It does look like it in the video! But I have to go and see it in person! Where is it?"

Feng Yi told the location.

Professor Shen is not in Ancheng at the moment. He is still quite far away and cannot make it. He can only arrive tomorrow at the soonest.

Feng Yi was on the phone with Professor Shen.

Parking area.

Wang Xuqin leaned against a car, lit a cigarette, and remained calm.

Isn't it just playing with beetles? It's a trivial matter. Brother Xu, you haven't seen anything before...

Then I saw Feng Yi grabbing another snake from the grass. It seemed to be some kind of venomous snake, at least it had arms.

Wang Xuqin:! ! !

The cigarette in his mouth was almost frightened.

When you pick up your phone, you go to the security guard, and then you remember that the person holding the snake is the expert.

Feng Yi put his mobile phone in his pocket and used a Bluetooth headset to talk. He had a beetle in one hand and a snake in the other. He turned back to Wang Xuqin, who was smoking a cigarette blankly and said:

"Brother Xu, there is a poisonous snake here. I'll throw it away."

Then he ran away and disappeared from Wang Xuqin's sight.

Wang Xuqin: "..."

If you throw the snake, throw the snake. Don't run so far in the mountains!

When racing, it looked calm and boring, but now here it is jumping around like a monkey!

He put out the cigarette in his mouth and threw it into the trash can. He quickly shouted:

"Watch your step, don't fall!"

Wang Xuqin really couldn't understand that it was enough to just call the people from the property management of the neighboring community to help with this kind of thing. Why do it yourself?

Is it really okay to run out so recklessly without a flashlight when the surroundings are so dark and the terrain is unknown in a place with a lot of weeds and woods? !

Worried that something might happen to this important guest, Wang Xuqin hurriedly shouted:

"Hey! Feng Yi! Don't be impulsive. I'll borrow a flashlight for you!"

"Ah? No, no, no, I'm back."

Following the sound, Feng Yi quickly came back from a distance.

The steps are very steady, as if walking on flat ground, and the speed is as fast as the wind.

It’s no exaggeration, this guy can run faster in the grass than a wild dog!

Wang Xuqin was holding his mobile phone and preparing to dial: "..."

The thoughts in my heart are so complicated, but I don't know how to express them at this time.

However, Wang Xuqin was indeed relieved to see Feng Yi come back safely.

As Feng Yi approached, Wang Xuqin's eyes swept over Feng Yi's body under the lights of the parking area.

It’s true that the snake is gone, but wasn’t there a beetle in his hand just now?

"Where are the insects you caught just now?" Wang Xuqin asked.

"Let it go. You don't need to keep holding it after taking the photo." Feng Yi said.

While throwing the snake away just now, he took a closer look around and found that there was indeed more than one beetle of the same kind nearby. There was no need to keep the little pitiful one he had caught and released it on the spot.

Professor Shen and his team come here to look for beetles. They will find the target based on its habits and life traces, and by selectively adding some lures. They are more professional.

Wang Xuqin said with unclear meaning: "I don't see that you like beetles."

Feng Yi took out a tissue from the car to wipe his hands. When he heard what the other party said, he explained: "I can't say I like it, because some documents and materials I wrote recently were about this. Professor Shen and other professional big guys sent them to me. It took me a lot of information to recognize it, but I wouldn't have recognized it a week ago.

"It's quite interesting to look at the information. Groups such as beetles have existed on the earth for hundreds of millions of years. In order to compete for survival resources, the groups have become entangled and come up with all kinds of weird looks and extreme abilities..."

Feng Yi was completely inspired by this thought.

In order to compete for survival resources, some populations can still survive by rolling around.

And some populations, no matter how they grow, will come to an end due to the shrinking of survival resources.

Wang Xuqin couldn't understand Feng Yi's emotion. He was more concerned about one thing now.

He hesitated and asked: "Will what you are talking about alert the people from the Federal Security Bureau?"

After speaking, he remembered that the person in front of him was an expert from the Federal Security Bureau, and he added: "Those investigators from the Federal Security Bureau and so on."

I'm not afraid, but Wang Xuqin gets annoyed when he sees them.

In the past, some matters in the hotel were targeted by the Federal Security Bureau, and the gang pursued and investigated like crazy dogs for a long time. After the matter was resolved, he still had a psychological shadow.

If he had a choice, he didn't want to deal with those investigators from the FBI.

"Probably not." Feng Yi said.

As soon as he finished speaking, another call came on the phone.

The caller ID made Feng Yi's brows twitch. He glanced at Wang Xuqin strangely and answered: "Hello, I'm Feng Yi."

Wang Xuqin felt something was wrong as soon as he heard Feng Yi's demeanor. After Feng Yi finished the call, he asked with doubtful eyes.

Feng Yi said: "People from the Ancheng Branch of the Joint Security Bureau."

Wang Xuqin paused, and his tone was surprisingly calm: "Are they coming?"

"No, I'm just asking. You have to wait until the species is determined before you come here to collect information or something. It's okay. Even if they come, they only come here to collect data, collect samples, and upgrade the database."

Wang Xuqin recalled an incident that made Feng Yi famous.

"You caught that poisonous snake called Xiao Qinglong or something. I heard that the Joint Security Bureau made a big fuss about it."

"Oh, that time, that time was because the Joint Security Bureau had an investigation team there, and it also involved first-class protected wild animals. In addition, that incident involved some old cases, so it made a lot of noise. The beetle caught today is different from that incident. It's just about the local ecology, which is a more positive direction."

Wang Xuqin exhaled and smiled.

That's good.

If the Joint Security Bureau suddenly showed up at this time, everyone's interest would be completely wiped out.

According to what Feng Yi said, even if the people from the Joint Security Bureau wanted to come, it would be after the Mingyao event ended.

Feeling relaxed, Wang Xuqin was also happy to chat about this aspect.

However, the parking area is indeed not a good place to chat. When Wang Xuqin thought of the snakes not far away, he couldn't stand.

Calling Feng Yi, the two walked towards the pavilion. Talking as they walked.

"Many of the owners of the neighborhood next door don't come here often. Except for the occasional racing, there are few human activities nearby. Perhaps it is because of these reasons that some small animals come here. It also shows that the Feng Shui here is good!" Wang Xuqin said with a smile.

"Yes, there is this factor." Feng Yi did not refute.

However, in addition to what Wang Xuqin said, it is also possible that the people who came here for field surveys and sampling may have been restrained during field surveys and the sampling range was not large because of the residents here and the security management that was strengthened from time to time, so they have not been discovered.

If Feng Yi hadn't come here tonight to race and caught that one by chance, it is estimated that it would have to wait until the population of that kind of beetle expanded to a certain value before it was discovered by researchers.

Thinking of the conversation with Professor Shen, Feng Yi said, "Professor Shen and his team will come tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Wang Xuqin didn't care: "It doesn't matter. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, everyone is too busy to 'blast the mountain' here. They will go to play on the yacht. I'll ask someone to pay attention. If you see the research team you mentioned nearby, ask someone to take them to the place where you caught the beetles."

"Thank you, Brother Xu."

"It's a small matter. Our foundation will also support some scientific research projects related to ecology and environmental protection." Wang Xuqin casually mentioned a few projects that the public is not familiar with, but Feng Yi has heard of.

"Very good."

Feng Yi looked at the sports car speeding on the road not far away and said, "Although it's not in the community, it's close. I still said it in the group so that the owners here will have an idea in mind to avoid causing some unnecessary conflicts."

After all, the people living here are not ordinary. If there are unfamiliar teams in the activity range, they will be strictly investigated.

Feng Yi took out his mobile phone.

The guests who participated in the event this time created a temporary chat group.

Feng Yi called the owners of houses in the group and briefly explained the matter: Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, a professor who studies insects will come here with his team of about five people to look for beetles. They will not enter the community.

At this time, many guests were not racing on the road and stopped to rest. Seeing Feng Yi's message, someone quickly replied:

[Small matter]

[Come on, come on, I won't be here tomorrow and the day after tomorrow anyway. ]

[I object! Unless you lend me the car to satisfy my craving [sly smile]]

Feng Yi: [Come and drive! ]

The person just now sent another message: [Forget it today. After Mingyao's photo shoot is over, our club will book the racetrack and lend you the car for a test drive. It's agreed that you should not hide the car when the time comes]

And someone who is not the owner of this community found out:

[If you don't understand, just ask. Aren't we racing? Feng Yi, why are you catching insects? ! ]

[Shocked, isn't the car fun? You actually go to play with beetles! ]

The group began to complain.

Here, Wang Xuqin also talked to Feng Yi about the auction.

"Has Feng Chi told you about the auction items?" Wang Xuqin asked.

"About the diamond?" Feng Yi said.

"Well, it's a rough black diamond. My father bought it from a mine abroad. At that time..."

Wang Xuqin was about to tell a story.

Feng Yi's phone rang.

Professor Shen contacted several like-minded people because of the beetle matter, and also let the Ancheng branch of the Joint Security Bureau know, so he called.

At this time, it was another professor who studied the ecology of the south who called.

After a brief chat, another call came.

Wang Xuqin opened his mouth, but closed it.

It seems that there is no more chat today.

Sure enough, Feng Yi answered another call and apologized: "They asked me to go back for an online meeting."

"It doesn't matter, business is more important." Wang Xuqin smiled with understanding.

Feng Yi left a message for Feng Chi and said to others in the group.

Then he tapped on his smartwatch.

Wang Xuqin looked at the parking area and had walked a distance: "Park your car over there..."

A low rumbling sound approached.

A car came from the parking area. A closer look revealed that it was Feng Yi's car.

The car stopped nearby, the door opened, and Feng Yi got into the driver's seat.

"Then, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Wang Xuqin watched Feng Yi's car go away.

If he wasn't dazzled, there was no one in the car just now.

At this time, someone came from the parking area. It was a friend who was very close to Wang Xuqin.

"Wow, Feng Yi's car came out by itself! We just parked the car in the parking area and were looking at his car, and the car moved by itself!"

Autopilot is not a new thing, and intelligent driving is not a new trick. It's just that they were completely unprepared just now, and they were shocked.

The man walked to Wang Xuqin and asked: "Brother Xu, what did you talk about with Feng Yi in private before? You talked for so long, and talked about a business worth hundreds of millions?"

Wang Xuqin had a complicated face: "Talk about beetles and life cycles."

The man: ? ? ?

Is this a new car model and industry jargon?

On the other side, back to the hotel.

Feng Yi opened the more hidden storage slot and took out a bag of Xiao Bing's special brain tonic from it.
