Chapter 474 Love Is Here

Yangcheng, in a building not far from Feng Yi Collection.

With the completion of various renovation works, the building is no longer a messy and rough appearance, but a special style that combines elegance and wildness.

At this time, in the vacant room, the owner of the building is staring at a statue taller than a person with a dreamy expression.

This statue has a human head and a snake body, that is, the human head is all snake-like.

It is made quite delicately, and you can see that the maker has spent a lot of thought on it.

Steve smiled with satisfaction.

When Feng Yi's collection hall opened, he saw Feng Yi's artistic shape and he had an idea. In the middle, he discussed with others to modify the details and find materials. Until now, the statue is really completed.

The materials used are very different from the statues in Feng Yi Collection Hall. It is not that he is unwilling to spend so much money to find special alloy materials, but purely because of Steve's pursuit of "truth".

In his opinion, Feng Yi's statue pursues artistic effects too much and is not real enough!

Not only the shape, but also the touch is not real. The tail is so hard that it can easily crack walnuts!

My own is different, with perfect proportions, both rigid and soft, elegant and slender, and full of power!

Steve looked at the statue in front of him, and his smile became more dreamy.

Ah~ this damn sense of immersion!

What a visual enjoyment!

The ultimate experience of art!

This statue must be placed at the gate for more people to appreciate!

When it opens in the future, every visitor can see my beautiful artistic shape!

Steve has already begun to imagine that picture in his mind.

In a short time, this place will welcome many big and small cuties, and the dream of many years will finally come true!

Steve seemed to have a burning fire in his heart, and every cell was unable to suppress the joy!

He is very busy every day now, and he can't take care of anything else except this matter.

Nothing can distract him!

What kind of Joint Security Bureau mission, what kind of Butterfly Plan exercise, no interest!

No interest at all!!

He rejected several mission invitations sent by the committee, and he didn't attend the private gatherings invited by experts.

Why go to those? Waste of time!

My love is here!

Steve took a soft cloth specially used to clean the statue, and wiped it carefully from head to tail. After wiping, he squatted and looked up, quietly admiring it.

"What a wonderful combination!"

While watching, the phone rang.

Steve stood up to answer it.

"Hello, it's Feng Yi, I heard that you went to the rainforest to investigate again?"

Although Steve spent most of his energy in this building, he still knew some information trends.

If it were before, he would still have the mind to go to the rainforest on the other side of the sea with Feng Yi to catch anacondas, but now he doesn't have that idea.

Feng Yi: "Steve, excuse me, I have something here and I want to ask you to come over and help. It's not convenient to say too much, and it's not clear in a few words. I'll send you a picture first."

Steve's face was a little serious.

Feng Yi used encrypted communication at this time, which seemed to be no small matter.

There were no chairs or stools in the room, so Steve found something to sit on the ground and wiped off the dust under the statue with a soft cloth.

Not long after, Steve received a few photos.

The same vertebra was shown in several photos, taken from different angles, with a measuring ruler next to it, which allowed people to have a clearer judgment of the size of the vertebra.

After all, he was a senior expert, and Steve recognized the species of the vertebra at a glance. Looking at the measuring ruler in the photo...

At first, he thought he was dazzled or Feng Yi had put the wrong photo?

But he soon realized that Feng Yi was using encrypted communication to contact him at this time, which must not be an ordinary event.

"You swear you are not lying to me!"

Steve's breathing suddenly became rapid, his face flushed, his voice excited, and he got up suddenly to get the tablet. The computer contained the data records of his previous research on Titanoboa.

In the data, the research on Titanoboa is the research of fossils, but in Feng Yi's photo, this vertebra is still very "fresh".

If the photo is real...

"Wait for me!!! I'll pack my things right now... Yes, keep it a secret first, don't tell anyone else now, wait for me to go over and confirm... There are already two vertebrae?! The rest... Dig! Dig them all... Where's my bag? All the documents are here..."

In the rain forest, Feng Yi listened to the person on the other end of the call talking excitedly and incoherently. He was about to ask for the approximate time and end the call, when suddenly, Steve on the other end of the phone exclaimed:

"Oh no——"

Then there was a bang.

It was like something heavy fell to the ground.

Feng Yi hurriedly said: "Hello? Steve? Are you okay over there? If you have too many things to do, don't rush over..."

"No!"

Steve stared blankly at the broken statue on the ground, still maintaining the posture of wanting to reach out to save it just now, like a dull stone sculpture.

Heartache, regret, sadness crashing against the shore.

But after a brief silence, Steve resolutely moved his eyes away, walked to the door with his bag, and didn't look back.

Like a scumbag who abandoned his old love because of a change of heart:

"No, I have packed my things and will rush over immediately!"

The call ended.

Feng Yi didn't know what happened to Steve. From the noise, something unexpected must have happened just now.

Forget it, I will ask him after Steve comes.

After the call, Feng Yi continued to search for the remains of the giant beast Serpan nearby.

In the evening, the chief took people back, but Feng Yi did not go with them. Instead, he carried a backpack, had a meal in the village, and took some supplies to continue searching in the rainforest.

The chief did not agree with Feng Yi's approach. The rainforest at night was very dangerous and extremely unfriendly to humans.

However, Feng Yi insisted, so the chief did not persuade him much. At the end of the day, many of Feng Yi's actions had exceeded his cognition.

When Steve arrived, Feng Yi had already dug up many pieces of remains. Although it was only a small part compared to the skeleton of a complete individual, it was a miraculous search speed in the eyes of both the natives and Steve, a professional.

Steve brought two security assistants, both of whom he trusted and had sufficient ability and had worked with many times. Steve had already told Feng Yi about this in the second encrypted call before he came.

Flying all the way here, he had to check the information on the way and collect the previous information for summary. Steve was indeed tired. But the passion that burst out from his whole body made him look energetic, as if he was ten years younger. His mentality regressed twenty years.

The first moment he arrived, in the makeshift tent, he saw no one else, only the remains still stained with mud.

"Ahhh, it's real! It's all real!"

Steve rushed over, gently picked up the remains of the giant beast that Feng Yi dug out with both hands, and carefully identified them. His eyes were focused and hot, as if he was holding a rare and breathtaking treasure in the world.

Feng Yi: "Wipe your saliva."

Steve carefully put the remains back and wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve: "What are the plans next?"

Feng Yi: "Maybe you should take a nap and rest first."

Steve: "No need! I'm in good spirits now. I can't sleep. I have to work! If I can't hold on any longer, I'll take a rest. You tell me first, what are your plans next?"

Feng Yi said: "I'll go dig the remains, and you'll be responsible for cleaning the ones dug out, and scanning with instruments, collecting data. Can you handle all of this?"

Steve nodded vigorously: "Yes! Just as you said, I'll stay here, and no one can separate me from it!"

My love is here!

Steve looked at the remains, his eyes blurred, intoxicated.

He has already guessed the approximate size of the giant beast through the only remains.

Steve sighed: "The giant beast Serpan, the most beautiful!"

Feng Yi: ...

Is the "most beautiful" you are talking about physical beauty?

Although he was so obsessed with the giant beast Serpan that he forgot to eat and sleep, Steve still seriously considered how to deal with this matter.

"Just a few of us?"

Steve thought that even if Feng Yi didn't contact other people in the Joint Security Bureau, he would find some armed forces to isolate and protect this area.

Feng Yi said: "Security will be temporarily handed over to the chief. I have talked to him. There are so many people in the tribe, which is enough. I asked them for help, and the locals have more advantages."

The main thing is that asking the natives for help will not cause a big stir.

If other people are mobilized, the so-called confidentiality will not exist.

But Steve is still worried: "Ask the natives for help? I also met the chief today. It seems okay for the time being, but it's hard to say for a long time."

Feng Yi said: "How many days do you think we can keep this secret from the higher-ups?"

Steve frowned and thought for a moment, sighed: "Two days at most."

The departments of the Joint Security Bureau are not stupid, especially with the undercurrent of the Butterfly Plan brewing recently, the committee has been keeping a closer eye on the itinerary arrangements of the experts. Combining various factors to infer, the real confidentiality time is only two days, or even less than two days, and they will reveal their positions. The matter of the giant beast Serpan will also be discovered soon.

Feng Yi smiled: "That's enough."

According to the current progress, it is definitely impossible to find everything in two days, but after two days, his goal has been achieved, and he has a say in this matter.

The subsequent work can be handed over to others, and this matter does need the help of the Joint Insurance Bureau and the Expert Committee.

The work plan is confirmed, and Feng Yi remembered the noise he heard during the previous call.

"What happened to you at that time?"

Steve's enthusiasm cooled down, and he just said: "Some unexpected setbacks."

He was embarrassed to say that in his excitement, he accidentally broke his newly arrived art statue.

Before coming, he found another order from the statue master, and he just had to wait for a while. It's a pity that everyone can't appreciate the wonderful combination of art when it opens.

Now, his mind is still on this rainforest.

Steve's enthusiasm surged again.

Without further delay, the two divided the work and cooperated.

Steve brought a lot of information, including information found in the Joint Insurance Bureau database and information provided by the indigenous people. There are meteorological disasters and forest changes in that year, as well as storm path maps and flood direction maps.

The only information at hand can't provide much help for the excavation work. But Feng Yi can carry out efficient excavation based on this limited information.

However, the search range is too large, and he can't sense it if it is a little far away, so he can only search on the route that was washed away that year.

If the target is found, Feng Yi will make a record on the chart, combine the existing information and excavation results, and then calculate the approximate route to continue searching.

And these are already incredible to others, outrageous beyond the outrageous.

So amazing!

The chief looked at the newly added bones and remained silent for a long time.

Every time he saw them, he felt that his cognition was refreshed.

The tribe took over the security work here, and would also help with some small things, and could get more rewards. The villagers were very happy and worked actively. With the chief in charge, the villagers were relatively well-behaved.

The chief was near the tent most of the time, and other people were not allowed to enter the tent. Only the chief or his designated confidants could deliver things inside.

Therefore, the chief also knew the progress of the remains search.

"That Feng Yi expert, how did he do it?!"

The chief was puzzled.

Steve carefully handled a piece of bone before answering the chief's question: "Sense of smell."

"Sense of smell?" The chief was puzzled.

"Yeah."

"I know he has a good sense of smell, but, isn't it too exaggerated, this... he can smell it?"

"Of course, he's better than a dog!"

After Steve finished speaking, he felt that this was not appropriate, and said: "The most sophisticated detectors are not as good as his! However, he is more sensitive to the smell of snakes, and the others are just average."

The chief didn't know how average "average" was, but it must be better than ordinary people, right?

No longer entangled in the issue of smell, anyway, after all, the summary is strong professional ability.

The chief is now more curious about the restoration of the giant beast Serpan.

As the search for the remains progressed, Steve cleaned and scanned the bones he found, and input the data into the model system in the computer. The giant beast from three hundred years ago is gradually appearing in front of him.

Steve placed another piece of bone, and under the blessing of the super thick filter, he couldn't help but sigh again: It was born before I was born, and I was born when it was dead. We met by chance, but we didn't know each other by chance...

In the atmosphere of melancholy, Feng Yi came back.

Ignoring the strange atmosphere in the tent, he handed the remains of Serpan that he dug up today to Steve, and looked at the bones that were arranged in the order of the skeleton.

"The committee will probably contact us tomorrow. This matter cannot be hidden. They will send someone here immediately. Before that, have you made all the necessary records?"

Steve was originally in a slightly depressed mood, but he cheered up after hearing Feng Yi's words, like a warrior who wants to defend his faith:

"The entire process of our work has been recorded, and there are enough videos and photos as evidence. We will definitely have enough say in the subsequent handling of events and the arrangement of the remains!"

Feng Yi looked at the scattered skeletons and the measuring ruler placed next to them.

"Not very intuitive."

The chief who had been silent said at this time: "It is really difficult to feel the power of the giant beast Serpan just by looking at the skeleton. Maybe we can put a control object next to it. Otherwise, I will lie there and you take pictures?"

Steve immediately said: "Let me do it. Professionals do professional things. I will lie next to you as a control group! Adjust the lens and take a clearer picture!"

Feng Yi thought for a while: "You can put a control group without people. Put a wild large anaconda that survives in the forest next to it, so that the contrast will be more obvious."

He turned and walked out of the tent: "I know there is one nearby, I will catch it!"
