Snowbird Calls: Devil Dinosaur Appears in the Congo Rainforest
Upon answering the phone, Old Zhou was sobered up considerably by those few words.
"What? Dinosaurs? Congo? Is that old man Stryker up to his old tricks again?!"
He pushed back his chair, grabbed his suit jacket, and dashed out, leaving the group of people at the table staring at each other in disbelief.
Cao Dahua, holding a half-empty glass of beer, looked completely bewildered. "Director Zhou, is this some kind of excuse to skip out on the bill? You can't even come up with a better one!"
Sing Sing yelled back at the top of his lungs, "It's a matter of life and death! Cao Dahua, you guys keep eating, eat as much as you want!"
A Le slammed down his chopsticks, looking at him with extreme suspicion. "Really? You're not really trying to get something for nothing, are you? You just got promoted to deputy director and you're already having these kinds of issues?!"
"Bullshit! Do you think I, Zhou, am that kind of person?!" Sing Sing waved his hand dismissively, "Boss lady, this table's bill is on me!"
The proprietress smiled broadly, "Alright, Mr. Zhou! That'll be nine hundred and fifty in total, will you pay by QR code or cash?"
Sing Sing froze, then pulled out two hundred dollars and slammed it on the table. "This is the deposit! The rest go to that guy in the black leather jacket! He's rich!"
Yan Shuangying paused slightly in the teacup he was holding. "?"
"Second brother, the organization has come to test your financial resources! I'll reimburse you later! Let's get out of here!"
After taking a taxi, the restless Sing Sing finally arrived at his destination.
He pushed open the car door, tossed down a hundred yuan, and sped into the United Research Center, leaving a trail of sparks and lightning.
Sparks flew from the lathe.
The workaholic Moon-Boy, shirtless, was swinging a sledgehammer with great enthusiasm.
This looks much better.
"Stop smashing! Pack your things and come with me!"
"Stephen? What are you doing here now?" The Moon-Boy scratched his head in confusion and put down the hammer.
"Something's happened to your precious baby!"
The Moon-Boy looked bewildered. "Big Baby? I don't have a big baby..."
Sing Sing slapped his forehead. "Devil Dinosaur! Snowbird's calling! It's being attacked by Stryker's men in the Congo Rainforest and is injured!"
The hammer fell to the ground, Moon-Boy's eyes immediately reddened; tears were about to fall.
Sing Sing quickly went over and put his arm around his shoulder, "Why are you crying? It's nothing serious, come on, I'll take you to pick up your brother and take him home!"
The Moon-Boy wiped his eyes haphazardly. "It must be in a lot of pain... I have to go save it!"
"Absolutely! Anyone who dares to harm a family member in our bureau, your Brother Zhou will chop them up and feed them to the dogs!"
Sing Sing dragged him towards the special control area. Wenxi wasn't asleep either; he was currently bending over, adjusting the new equipment.
"Wenxi, stop messing around with your junk and get the Blue Elf out there to work!"
Da Vinci shuddered and turned to look at the two panting men.
"Where are you going? You're in such a rush in the middle of the night."
"The Congo Rainforest! Hurry, or it'll be cooked!"
Da Vinci frowned and reached up to touch his forehead.
"The Congo region is hot and humid with a chaotic geomagnetic field, making long-distance intercontinental transmission very risky; precise space beacons are essential..."
"Snowbird sent over the coordinates; she has a temporary monitoring point over there, and the signal is strong enough!"
"I'll go get someone right now. You two get the mosquito repellent spray ready; those poisonous insects over there can eat people!"
Within two minutes, the Wandering Girl, wearing pajamas and rubbing her eyes, was dragged out.
The little girl, looking grumpy from just waking up, glared at Sing Sing with wide eyes:
(╬◣д◢)
"Stephen, I can tolerate you making me work during the day, but why are you dragging me out of bed to work overtime at night? The paperwork isn't even done yet!"
"Open the door quickly, it's a matter of life and death!" Sing Sing was so anxious he was jumping up and down.
"Etc!"
Da Vinci pulled out a spray bottle. "Then you guys take my newly developed 'Deadly 3000 Rainforest Special Mosquito Repellent and Bulletproof Spray'! Those poisonous insects over there can eat people, spray this on, and not only will mosquitoes not bite you, but bullets will even skid off!"
Sing Sing took a step back warily. "So amazing? What are the side effects?"
"After you spray it, you'll smell like a mixture of fermented herring and three-year-old unwashed socks—even cannibals wouldn't want to eat you!"
"Get lost! Do you want me to suffocate from my own odor first?!"
Sing Sing pushed away the spray and looked at him seriously. "Wenxi, I'm leaving now. Could you help me draft a report and personally take it to Lao Wang? It concerns the Devil Dinosaur and..."
The halo spread, and the three people disappeared.
"Well?"
Da Vinci smoothed his receding hairline and stood there, stunned.
"Uh? You haven't finished your sentence yet! Who's the Devil Dinosaur with? The postpartum care of the mother dinosaur? You'll choke on that half-finished sentence!"
Wenxi! Ah Qi!
The moment it landed, the smell of fermenting rotten leaves hit me right in the head.
Sing Sing almost threw up the tripe he had just eaten.
The Blue Elf pinched her nose, looking at the mud at her feet with disgust. "(><) Ugh! So smelly and dirty! My Pikachu slippers stepped on some kind of mollusk! Location delivered, I'm off work, bye-bye!"
After saying that, the Wandering Girl ran away.
As soon as the Moon-Boy landed, it was as if he had returned to his happy old home.
He lay directly on the ground, crawling frantically in the mud on all fours, his nose constantly sniffing the air.
"Hey, hey, hey, watch your image! You're a government employee now, don't act like a wild man!"
The Moon-Boy ignored him and ran to a large tree that was so thick that it would take two people to hug it. There was a crack in the trunk, and the edges were stained with dark red blood.
"Stephen... it hurts! It came here! It was badly injured and bled a lot!"
"Don't rush, something's not right here... it's too quiet."
Sing Sing warily scanned his surroundings and pulled out the Tian Shan Cold Iron Pig Butchering Knife.
In the distance, a group of hippos, startled, leaped out of the pond and ran frantically into the depths of the forest.
The Moon-Boy sniffed and pointed to a pile of rotten leaves at the base of a tree. "Stephen, there's something over there that doesn't smell like the forest. It smells like... engine oil."
Sing Sing cautiously stepped forward and carefully used the tip of his knife to pry open the pile of leaves.
Embedded in the mud was a black metal disc the size of a palm.
A red indicator light flashes in the center of the disc, and a line of familiar English letters is printed on the side, along with a Crossbones skull symbol.
This was a badge he knew all too well—the exclusive insignia of that Lao Wang Stryker's private armed forces!
"Damn it, these bastards are really persistent, they've even followed me all the way to Africa to engage in illegal poaching!" Sing Sing gritted his teeth.
Suddenly, the indicator light started flashing faster and faster, emitting a soft, rapid "beep" sound.
Sing Sing's expression changed. "A signal generator? Oh no, those bastards have spotted us!"
