The continent of Wu has a total area of one billion and twenty million square kilometers, and the current main residential area of the human kingdom is only 149 million square kilometers. Therefore, this continent is equivalent to ten times the total area of the current human settlements. Times that big!
And this continent of Wu is just a small piece of continent discovered by humans after exploring the food world in the past. It is the third largest continent, with only a few research stations and supply bases for food hunters on it. In addition, there are currently no human cities or countries.
And this is the main reason why humans in this world are not eager to explore the wider and more dangerous food world.
Because there is no need at all!
The land that has been discovered and the delicacies on these lands are enough to sustain the tens of billions of humans in this world for hundreds of years.
After all, when all kinds of delicacies and other survival materials are extremely abundant, and there is no need to worry about insufficient resources, in this best era of food, the desire of people who do not have a sense of oppression and crisis to survive is not very strong. In human beings The 300,000 kinds of delicacies that have been discovered within the scope of activities are enough for people to enjoy.
But today, a high-speed vertical take-off and landing jet passenger and cargo transport aircraft came here and landed steadily on a wasteland without much vegetation in the jungle in the northern part of the continent.
The plane did not dare to get too close to those jungles, because almost everyone knew that this continent was a plant hell, and there were all kinds of huge dangers in it. Once it got too close, the plane's thin aluminum alloy The outer shell certainly cannot protect the safety of the passengers inside the aircraft.
However, before the plane came to a stop and before the crew could detect the surrounding environment, a certain troubled little girl cheered and rushed out first.
Immediately afterwards, the relieved gourmet hunter Alu and his family's picky eater, Terry, the fighting wolf who had been threatened by Annie more than once on the plane to ask Chef Komatsu to handle and eat him, also followed from the cabin. Li rushed out impatiently.
"Aha!"
?(*?)?
"Isn't this the Wu Jungle of Wu Continent?"
?*. ?(ˊωˋ*)??*.
Actually, Annie is not interested in the Wu Continent and Wu Jungle of Laoshizi. She is more concerned about the legendary top ingredient called BB popcorn that she is about to find here!
If it was really as delicious as Uncle Alu said, she would definitely pick it all, pack it all up and take it away, even if she couldn't eat it, she would have to carry it around so that no one else would be able to eat it.
(…)
′?`●)))Alas
"That's right!"
"That's the forest ahead!"
"This place should only be regarded as an edge. After all, planes don't dare to stop there rashly. The animals and plants there are too dangerous."
After getting off the plane, he looked around and smoothed his blue hair. Aru, who had been here before, quickly nodded firmly.
"That's it..."
(*?▽?*)
"You are so useless, you don't even dare to fly in when someone is around!"
(╬)
Hearing that it was only on the periphery, Anne of course turned back and cast a look of disdain at the two crew members who had worked so hard to bring them here.
"..."
"..."
The two crew members who also got off the plane ignored the little girl's accusation. After all, the other person was the major shareholder and director of their IGO, and little people like them would not dare to be too presumptuous in front of the other person.
"that……"
"Report to Director Anne and Mr. Alu!"
"We need to return to the nearest IGO base here to refuel and maintain the aircraft. In addition, the round trip may take two days. When will we need to come here to pick you up?"
They just pretended not to hear, and then stood at attention under the chaotic airflow from the plane and asked about the specific time of return.
Only by knowing the specific return time can they make arrangements. After all, aircraft refueling and maintenance are also time-consuming and labor-intensive tasks. If they can't catch up, they can still let other aircraft come.
"Well..."
Aru started rubbing his chin and calculating in his mind, because he didn't know how many days it would take to find the legendary place where BB popcorn grew.
"so!"
"We'll probably need about four days or five..."
However, before Alu could say an inaccurate time, he was rudely interrupted by Annie on the side.
"You don't have to come!"
?(??3?)?
"We will go back by ourselves then!"
?(′'▽'`)?
Annie decided that she would go back directly after she found the place where BB popcorn corn grew and harvested it, so that she would not run back here to wait for the plane again!
"!!"
"Annie?"
"Are you sure? It's more than 65,000 kilometers away from the city we set out from!!"
"How can we go back without a plane?"
Alu was shocked, this was no small matter, so he hurriedly asked Annie who wanted to take action.
"Director Anne?"
"you……"
"You're really not kidding, are you?"
The two crew members also looked at each other a little bit.
You know, in order to get here, their super-fast jet flew for almost twenty hours before arriving, but now the other party said that they wanted to go back by themselves, how could they go back?
Is it to walk for several months by land to the nearest food hunter's supply station, then wait for the ship, and then spend several months to slowly swim back?
"I'm not kidding!"
(?3?)
"Your plane is too slow. It took a whole day to get here. People fell asleep several times on the way home. I don't want to take your crappy plane anymore!"
o(′^`)o
Thinking of the extremely boring twenty-odd hours she spent on the plane, Anne's baby-fat little face couldn't help but look full of disgust.
"But……"
"This aircraft is already one of the fastest light aircraft in our IGO organization. It can also break the sound barrier. If it is replaced by a helicopter, it will only be slower."
To be honest, listening to little Annie's nonsense, the two crew members didn't know what to say.
Of course, they didn't dare to say it, because the little girl in front of them was the director and major shareholder of their IGO, and they would get several times the salary subsidy for traveling with her. For this, it was too late for them to support her like an uncle, so what? Dare to offend someone by saying harsh words easily?
"It's just slow anyway!"
 ̄? ̄)????
"That's it. You guys go back first. Then we will go back by ourselves and you won't have to worry about it!"
(????)?
Now that Annie has arrived here, she knows that this is the Wu Jungle of Laoshizi. She will definitely not get lost when she uses the portal next time. Of course, she will not get lost when she goes back. So, there is really no need for these guys. We'll fly in again and wait.
"..."
"..."
The two crew members looked at each other and saw helplessness and confusion in each other's eyes.
"yes!"
"we know."
Although they said that, they also knew that they would definitely not be able to bear the guilt of just leaving an IGO's director and major shareholder here!
So, after making eye contact, they casually agreed and headed to the plane.
In fact, they had already decided to cooperate with each other tacitly. They would report the matter to the nearest base as soon as possible after returning to the nearest base, and then they would remain on standby at the nearest base 24 hours a day until the superiors sent them new information. until the order.
"Hey!"
"Annie, are you really sure?"
"This is really no joke!"
"Hey! Wait!"
Seeing that the two crew members were really obedient and got on the plane again and slowly controlled the plane to take off, Alu panicked for a moment. He hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Annie's arm and asked urgently.
He only brought a dog with him now, without any communication tools or any more survival supplies. If the other party really didn't come to pick them up, it would be really difficult for him to go back and he might still be able to return. Will be reduced to being a savage in this dangerous jungle.
"Do not worry!"
(′???`)
"Uncle Alu, when the time comes, there will be a way for you to swish and go back in the blink of an eye!"
(●′3`)~?
With that said, Annie was ready to take the lead and move forward.
Anyway, she wasn't going to take that slow, crappy plane. The other party couldn't even reach the fastest speed in the universe. She dared to say it was the fastest airplane. She could launch a space shuttle faster than the other party. Countless times!
"How can I be relieved?"
"besides!"
"Where is the way to go back in a swish?"
"Are you kidding?"
Alu obviously didn't believe it, but now that the plane had left, he could only follow Annie and persuade her earnestly, planning to ask the other party to take out the communicator, and then set a specific time for the two crew members to respond.
"Anyway, there is!"
(′ε`)?
"or……."
?乛?乛?
"Uncle Aru, let's make a bet?"
?(?ˉ??ˉ?)?
Suddenly, Anne didn't know what she thought of, but she turned around and looked at Uncle Alu who was following her.
"??"
"What bet?"
Although he didn't think it would be a good thing, Alu still asked subconsciously.
"If there is a way for you to swish and go back in the blink of an eye, how about you eat that stupid picky dog of yours?"
(???)
Annie said that she has found better and more delicious substitutes for onions, ginger, garlic, star anise, cinnamon, grass fruits, etc. in the food world. Even the chef has ready-made ones, and Uncle Komatsu with the big nostrils guarantees that they can be used at any time. He was there when he was called, and now he just had to clean and skin the fighting wolf that was said to be very rare and throw it into the pot.
(…)
(● ̄(?) ̄●)
'Ouch...'
The next second, he noticed Anne's naked hostility. As if he were facing a natural enemy, Terry the Wolf Fighter hurriedly shrank behind Alu with his tail between his legs and whimpered.
"!!"
"No, no!"
"This is absolutely not allowed! Terry is my friend, and I will definitely not let you eat it!"
After hearing this, Alu quickly waved his hand to refuse and began to comfort Dou Langlai who got up.
You know, Terry is the strongest wolf that has existed since ancient times, and is also the largest wolf in the world. He has a very powerful fighting instinct and crisis awareness. His abilities in combat IQ, speed, and sense of smell are the most significant, regardless of It is very useful for guarding the house or going out for hunting adventures. Moreover, an under-adult fighting wolf like Terry can already show very good fighting abilities. What if it waits until it reaches adulthood?
Therefore, Alu, not to mention how precious he was to each other, even thought about venturing into the food world to find unknown top-notch delicacies for Terry to use as dog food. How could Annie actually eat them?
He is Alu, a food hunter, a principled person, and not the kind of gambler who would put his wife and children on the gambling table if he gets jealous.
Although, he doesn't believe that the other party really has the kind of method that allows him to go back across 65,000 kilometers in the blink of an eye, but regardless of whether there is, he will not use Terry to do that boring thing And a dangerous bet.
"..."
(?~?)
"Well, let's change it to another one."
(????)
"If they can make you swish and go back in the blink of an eye, you will get 10% less of that popcorn. If they can't do it, we can split it half and half. How about it?"
(?ω?)
That's right, the bet just now was just something Annie said casually. She knew that the other party would definitely not agree, but what she was talking about now was her main purpose!
Her Lady Queen Anne first told the other party something she would definitely not agree to, and then said something less outrageous, so that the other party could fall for the trap. This method she had tried repeatedly for a long time.
(…)
(???)
"this……"
"OK!"
"This is acceptable!"
After thinking about it, Alu didn't think Annie would let him go back in a hurry. Therefore, he really couldn't think of the good thing where he would only lose one layer of profits if he lost, but get two layers of shares if he won. What is the reason to refuse.
"Then let's pull the hook, and it's settled!"
?*. ?(?)??*.
Cheering, Annie stretched out her little finger towards the other party.
Nothing makes Annie happier than being able to grab a layer of the other person's hand. Although she still doesn't know whether the BB popcorn is as delicious as she imagined, she will do it in advance. It will definitely not go wrong if you get a little more share as much as possible.
But in fact, if she didn't need the other person to lead the way, she might have gone ahead to pick it up by herself, leaving no share for the other person, it was all hers!
"Okay, then it's settled!"
"??"
"Annie, why did you stop again?"
As soon as he nodded in agreement, Aru looked at the little girl who stopped in front of him with some confusion.
"I don't know where the corn grows, so of course I'm waiting for you to lead the way!"
()
In fact, Corn Annie knows it, but there are so many varieties of corn in the food world. Who knows which kind of corn can be made into BB popcorn?
"this……"
"Actually, I don't know where it is, but it doesn't matter, we can look for it slowly."
Having said that, Alu didn't mind, so he took the lead and walked ahead.
"!!"
!(;?o?)o
"Do you still want to find it slowly?"
Σ(°△°|||)︴
"That's right!"
"Come on! Let's enter the Wu Jungle, but be careful, the plants inside are very dangerous."
Uncle Aru, who was walking in front, reminded him kindly and considerately, but the fighting wolf quickly jumped to the front, not wanting to be with Annie at all.
"hateful!"
(??_?)
"If you are still looking for it slowly, why would they come with you?"
(?′?╭╮`?)
It turned out that the other party didn't know the specific location, and Anne suddenly felt as if she had been deceived.
"Follow up quickly!"
"There are piranha flowers ahead. They have no vision or hearing. Just don't touch them, or they will eat you!"
Alu, who was leading the way, did not forget to explain some precautions when moving in the Wu Jungle, although he did not think that ordinary piranha flowers could eat the extraordinary little girl behind.
"They dare?"
(?????)
“Let’s see if someone doesn’t burn them with fire!”
?(ψ`╭╮′)o
How could Annie, who was so angry right now, be afraid of those plants?
And as she spoke, she actually grabbed a ball of fire in her hand, pretending to burn those piranha bushes that had not offended her at all.
"?!"
"No! Stop it!"
Seeing this, Alu was so frightened that he quickly stopped him.
"Never!"
 ̄? ̄)????
"They are so ugly and inedible, so people want to burn them!"
?(ψ`▽′)o
However, Anne insisted and still wanted to burn it.
"But!"
"This is a jungle. If you set a fire randomly, it will cause a forest fire. What should you do if you accidentally burn the BB popcorn?"
There was no other way, Alu could only say this.
"!!"
(¬д¬.)
"Okay then! Spare them for now and burn them after you find the popcorn corn!"
?ˇεˇ??))) Bah! !
After spitting on the piranha flowers that were arrogant and emitting a foul smell, Annie snorted and followed Uncle Aru in front of them to circle around them.
"..."
The food hunter Alu, who had long understood the little girl's temperament, was speechless at this time, so he simply stopped talking and just continued to lead the way honestly.
Next, going deep into the jungle will become very dangerous. Dou Lang can protect himself, and so can Annie, so he only needs to lead the way and take care of himself. This is the best adventure combination, and it is easier than taking Xiaosong with him. too much.
